Chapter 397: Stunned

Liu Bige looked at him in disbelief.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yan He asked, puzzled.

Liu Bige asked him: "Are you not nervous at all? Don't you know that the Best Supporting Actor award is about to be announced?"

Lu Yan He said: "Uh, nervous."

Liu Bige: "Then you still have the heart to sigh about others?"

"This doesn't delay anything." Lu Yan He said, "I can't be nervous about myself all the time, and not listen to what others are saying, right?"

Liu Bige was between laughter and tears, saying: "Then your mentality is really good."

Lu Yan He suddenly realized something.

There was indeed a bit of nervousness deep in Liu Bige's expression. *Late Spring* helped him get double nominations for Best Director and Best Picture at the Feihong Awards, so it's no wonder he was nervous.

This was Liu Bige's first film, and even though it had already won the Silver Bear Award at the Venice International Film Festival, whether it could win an award domestically was still something that made people nervous.

Lu Yan He thought of something and turned to look at Wang Zhong's side.

Director Wang Zhong couldn't tell whether he was nervous or not. Having been through many battles, having experienced such occasions many times, it was difficult to see true emotions on Director Wang Zhong's face.

But thinking about it, everyone sitting here tonight who had nominations and hadn't had the results announced yet must be nervous. Even those with high buzz were afraid of an upset, and those with no hope were praying for a miracle. It was the same thing.

All kinds of thoughts were surging in Lu Yan He's head.

Then, at this time, Ji Miao, the winner of Best Supporting Actress at the previous Feihong Awards, went on stage.

She was only in her twenties, a very young female actor.

Lu Yan He was poked by Liu Bige before he came back to his senses.

Ah, the Best Supporting Actor award was about to be announced.

At this moment, his breath was subconsciously held in his throat.

Ji Miao, in a dress as agile and elegant as water, read an award speech, then opened the envelope in her hand and took out a card from it.

The faces of Lu Yan He's five nominees were all put on the screen.

Lu Yan He looked at himself on the screen and smiled embarrassedly.

Others had their own tension.

Then, he heard his name come out of Ji Miao's mouth.

"Lu Yan He, *Three Mountains*."

Lu Yan He hadn't even reacted yet, when Liu Bige was the first to excitedly hug him and shout twice, "You won the award!"

Several people sitting beside Lu Yan He all stood up to congratulate him very politely.

The applause at the scene was very loud.

Regarding Lu Yan He winning the award, everyone seemed to feel it was well-deserved.

Lu Yan He was really solidly stunned for two seconds before he came back to his senses.

Oh, he really won the award.

A joy like a volcanic eruption erupted from the bottom of his heart.

Genuine excitement.

Lu Yan He hugged every acquaintance he could see, the smile on his face spreading unconsciously.

"Congratulations."

"Well-deserved."

"Try to win Best Actor later."

Everyone was whispering something in his ear when they hugged him.

Lu Yan He felt he heard every sentence clearly, and also felt every sentence was moving away from him.

This feeling of being both real and unreal, the feeling of floating, swept over him again.

Lu Yan He was reminded by everyone to go on stage to receive the award.

He suddenly realized, smiled, covered his face, and hurried to the stage.

Ji Miao sent the trophy to his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, let's act together next time if we have the chance."

Lu Yan He nodded at Ji Miao with a smile and said: "Definitely."

He took the trophy.

The trophy was quite heavy, holding it in his hand, it had a lot of weight.

He walked to the microphone and looked at the faces, familiar or unfamiliar, under the stage.

A very big scene—this was one of the largest awards ceremonies Lu Yan He had ever attended.

"If I say my brain is blank right now, completely filled with happiness, and I don't know what to say at all, will you forgive me?" Lu Yan He held the trophy with both hands, and after saying this, he couldn't help his happiness and smiled again.

Laughter broke out under the stage, some people cheered with their hands cupped in front of their mouths, and some applauded him.

"This year I really received many, many nominations. Although every time before attending, everyone would tell me that the hope of winning is small, I always held a little thought of winning, so it was inevitable to experience disappointment again and again." Lu Yan He looked under the stage, "So, at this moment, I especially want to say to the other four actors who were nominated for this award with me, only after being disappointed do you know how precious the excitement of holding it in your hand is. I have watched every one of your films, and I must admit that I won this award, there must be an element of luck, because every one of your performances made me feel respect, and because of this, I will cherish the trophy I won tonight even more, because this was competed from your hands. I will continue to work hard to act well, be a good actor, and strive for one day when you compete for this award from my hands, you will feel even prouder."

Zhang Yang, who was nominated with him, stood up and applauded him.

Everyone cheered.

An award only has one winner, and there are bound to be losers.

Many winners will express their appreciation for the actors who were nominated together.

This time, Lu Yan He not only expressed appreciation but also expressed beautiful wishes for them.

His speech successfully captured everyone's appreciation for him at the scene.

There are winners every year, but decent winners with posture are not every year.

He admitted his luck, he cherished this award, and he also generously expressed that he was willing to become the defeated opponent in the future.

Such a posture, few people have it, and even fewer people can express it like this.

Lu Yan He took a deep breath, "Then now I have to express some gratitude. Thank my agent, Sister Ziyan. This film was accepted by her for me. She only said one sentence to me: you must act, so I acted without saying a word. Thank this film, thank Director Wang Zhong, thank all the creators of this film, not only because it made me win an award tonight, but because of this film, this character, I was seen by people in the film industry for the first time. Oh, Lu Yan He can also act in films. Different subjects, different forms, have different charms. For me, if acting in TV dramas is traveling with children, then film is a glimpse. I will continue to work hard and strive to let everyone glimpse me a few more times in the future. Thank you again!"

After Lu Yan He finished speaking, he bowed, held the trophy high, and turned around with a bright smile to go off stage with Ji Miao.

The news that Lu Yan He won Best Supporting Actor sparked a round of cheers in the media interview room.

He Lan turned her head in surprise to look at these media representatives.

There were only media reporters and photographers here, no one else, and every winner who won an award would be guided here to accept everyone's interviews and photos.

It wasn't the scene, coming here was also work. When the names of the previous winners were read out, although everyone paid attention, they didn't cheer like this.

Are the media so happy that Lu Yan He won the award?

Li Bi saw He Lan's surprise and doubt, and immediately said: "The boss has a very good image in the media circle. You have to know that actually, many media workers don't look down on some star artists, feeling they are uncultured, usually packaged very well, and once in front of a real person, they are very disillusioned. The boss is a rare artist who is better than them in terms of education, and he is really very capable. Aside from work, everyone appreciates him."

He Lan nodded in understanding.

After a while, Lu Yan He came over.

Warm applause broke out in the media interview room.

"Yan He, congratulations on winning the award, your speech today captured everyone again."

"I really hope you win another award later, so we can listen to you speak again."

Everyone was laughing and talking.

Lu Yan He expressed his gratitude.

"Don't praise me too hard, everyone, my skin is thin." Lu Yan He said.

The media friends laughed into a group.

Someone said: "You broke a record for the winner of Best Supporting Actor at the Feihong Awards this time, do you know what record it is?" Lu Yan He was stunned, shook his head, and said: "I don't know, what record?"

"You are the youngest winner of the Best Supporting Actor award in the history of the Feihong Awards."

Lu Yan He had just turned twenty-one this year, and he was indeed not very old. However, he didn't expect that he was the youngest winner of this award in history.

"Who is the youngest winner of Best Actor?" Lu Yan He asked curiously.

"The youngest winner of Best Actor is Chen Pinhe, he was only seventeen when he won the award." The media said.

Lu Yan He showed a surprised expression.

Lu Yan He knew that Chen Pinhe was the male actor who had won the most awards in the country, but he didn't know that Chen Pinhe started winning awards so early.

No wonder his status in the country was unique.

A media friend said: "Chen Pinhe has won Best Actor at the Feihong Awards twice so far. If he wins again this time, it will be three times. Yan He, do you have any thoughts of surpassing him?"

Lu Yan He said with a smile: "Winning awards is naturally better the more the better, but I haven't thought about surpassing anyone. Being able to win an award shows that I have received the recognition of my peers, which is quite good. Actually, many actors are recognized by their peers even if they don't win awards, the uncrowned king. Actually, when Teacher Bao Zhenzhu went on stage to give her acceptance speech today, I was very moved. Compared with many senior teachers, my luck is very good. People shouldn't be too greedy."

"Will you cooperate with Teacher Bao Zhenzhu in the future?"

"Of course, I very much hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with her." Lu Yan He said, "Before, when I watched the film *Upstairs*, I was surprised by her, but at that time I didn't know who this actor was, I didn't know her, only knew she acted very well."

"I heard that your relationship with Teacher Jiang Jun is also very good. After *Seventeen Layers*, Teacher Jiang Jun said in many interviews that you helped him a lot. Can you reveal to us what you helped him with? We asked Teacher Jiang Jun, and Teacher Jiang Jun wouldn't say."

Lu Yan He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "That's Teacher Jiang being very polite, you really believe it? He really helped me a lot when filming *Seventeen Layers*."

Media: "We found that your relationship with many actors you have worked with is particularly good, which is quite rare. After all, in this line of work, you are always gathering less and parting more. How do you maintain relationships with everyone?"

Lu Yan He: "Just... maintain normally. Now it's not the era where you can't see each other and can only send letters by carrier pigeon or post station. Everyone contacts frequently, and when they see each other's works are released, they will support them and discuss the plot and so on."

Media: "It seems that with you, there is no gradual alienation because everyone is very busy?"

"I think it might be because my friends are all in one group after another. Li Zhibai and Yan Liang don't need to be mentioned, they live in the same house. *Young Days*, or the plays I filmed, we all have group chats, everyone often chats in the group." Lu Yan He said, "It might be because I often have some things that need everyone's help to forward and promote, so those group chats have never been silent."

Lu Yan He's movements this year were indeed big, from the beginning of the year to the end, he had never disappeared.

Some media even jokingly said that the few plays Lu Yan He released this year were enough for four or five male actors to explode, but it all exploded on him alone.

This was also why Lu Yan He's status had soared over the past year.

Actors really have to rely on their work to speak.

Before this year, Lu Yan He only had *Golden Age* and *Phoenix Terrace*, in which he appeared as a supporting role. From this year on, he entered his lead era.

Last year, when he wanted to act as a male lead, he could only pick the second male lead in a big female-led perspective like *Seventeen Layers*.

Now, basically, no second male lead scripts were being sent to him.

Lu Yan He finished the interview and had to return to the inner venue.

In the corridor, he met the photographer who had just won the award. The other party was named Liu Zhifeng, a very famous photographer, one of the best in the film circle. Lu Yan He immediately stepped aside and politely called Teacher Liu.

Liu Zhifeng greeted him with some surprise, "Yan He, hello."

The two didn't have time to exchange pleasantries, met, Liu Zhifeng hurried to meet the media, and Lu Yan He returned to the inner venue.

In one night, the filmmakers Lu Yan He saw seemed to be more than those he had seen in the past year.

When Lu Yan He hurried back to the inner venue, it was just in time for the commercial break.

The scene was lively and chaotic, communicating enthusiastically with each other. Many people were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was rare to have a chance to meet. As soon as Lu Yan He returned, he was grabbed by Wang Zhong to meet people, and after a circle, he added more than a dozen friends.

Exaggerated.

"Pinhe, if you win an award tonight, you will be the first person in the history of the Feihong Awards to be a three-time Best Actor." Suddenly, director Feng Zhou spoke.

Lu Yan He turned his head and saw Chen Pinhe and the director of *White Pearl*, Yu Mingjiang, appeared behind him at some point.

Chen Pinhe smiled and waved his hand, saying: "Director Feng, the difficulty is very high, and with such a strong opponent as Teacher Liu Teli, I don't have much hope."

Feng Zhou clicked his tongue and said: "It's really a pity this year, almost won Best Actor at the Venice International Film Festival."

Yu Mingjiang snorted coldly and said: "To put it plainly, it's still discrimination against Chinese actors. Otherwise, with Pinhe's performance, how could it be inferior to that Englishman?"

Lu Yan He was very shocked to hear Yu Mingjiang say this.

Is it said publicly like this?

Wang Zhong smiled and suddenly remembered something, saying: "By the way, Yan He, do you know Director Yu Mingjiang and Chen Pinhe?"

Lu Yan He immediately said: "I know them, I have met them in Venice before."

Yu Mingjiang looked at Lu Yan He and smiled.

"Congratulations, congratulations, winning the Feihong Awards at such a young age, the future is limitless." Yu Mingjiang said, "Let's strive to cooperate in the future."

Lu Yan He nodded and said okay.

He looked at Chen Pinhe and called "Teacher Chen".

Chen Pinhe smiled faintly, nodded, and said: "Congratulations."

Everyone saw Lu Yan He and Chen Pinhe standing together and said with a smile: "Add Shang Yongzhou, the three of them standing together are the three most representative male actors of the twenties, thirties, and forties in the same frame."

Just as they were talking, Shang Yongzhou appeared.

"Yongzhou, Yongzhou!" Feng Zhou shouted immediately.

Shang Yongzhou was called over.

Under the promotion of these directors, the three were arranged together and took a photo of the three in the same frame.

Because the three of them were taking photos here, many people gathered around.

Everyone took out their mobile phones and took pictures of this scene.

In the latter part of the awards ceremony, as the results of one award after another came out, the atmosphere at the scene became closer and closer to the climax.

Because the further back, the more important the awards.

The biggest highlight this year was the Best Actor part.

Therefore, the organizers put this award before Best Director to present, first presenting Best Actress.

Unexpectedly to many people, the winner of Best Actress this year was Xu Minyin, who starred in *White Pearl* with Chen Pinhe.

It was mainly because Chen Pinhe's performance in *White Pearl* was too eye-catching, which had a great impact on Xu Minyin's existence and performance. To be fair, she acted really well, and there were two or three highlight scenes inside, but to say she could convincingly win Best Actress, it was still a bit lacking.

However, this year's Best Actress was a small year, the competitiveness was not great, and there were no players with particularly high buzz like Chen Pinhe and Liu Teli.

And after Xu Minyin received the award, it was the turn of Best Actor.

Lu Yan He took a deep breath.

Liu Bige turned to look at him.

Lu Yan He said to Liu Bige: "If I don't win Best Actor, you must remember, you owe me a Best Actor."

Liu Bige smiled and nodded, saying: "Okay."

Lu Yan He told himself over and over again that the hope of winning was not great, and this award was not his home field.

But when the name read by the presenter was not his name, Lu Yan He still felt a sense of disappointment from the bottom of his heart.

No way, it's just like this.

Sitting here, you will look forward to miracles.

Afterwards, Lu Yan He realized, what?

Wait, whose name was read just now?

"He Daren?"

The scene was filled with an atmosphere of disbelief, of course, the applause still rang out one after another.

Tonight, among the five nominees for Best Actor, Liu Teli and Chen Pinhe were regarded as the most competitive contenders, Shang Yongzhou was a nomination as affirmation, a star-studded, early-honored Best Actor, Lu Yan He also had his own buzz, only the last person, He Daren, the male lead of *Galaxy Nine Curves*, had no sound at all—this film only had 720,000 yuan at the box office in theaters, and not many people had seen it.

Media predicted the Best Actor candidates, and not a single media outlet predicted He Daren.

Lu Yan He saw incredible expressions on many people's faces.

Including Chen Pinhe and Liu Teli. Although they covered it up very well and applauded politely to congratulate, the incredible, unbelievable surprise could not be avoided.

Even if Shang Yongzhou won the award, it might not make people feel so stunned. ===== CHAPTER 398 =====
