Chapter 187
First Actress Award: Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress
At the end of October, Ling Sui attended the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony.
The haute couture costumes for this event are from Julien Fournie, and Gaozhu is sponsored by Tiffany. Because the studio was quick at taking photos and editing them, Ling Suisui was one of the first female stars to have her photos produced that day.
In the photo, she has her hair tied up and wears a small crown, looking noble and elegant. This ultramarine dress highlights her waistline very well, and the flowing skirt is the finishing touch.
Just a set of static pictures attracted countless fans and passers-by to lick the screen. She turned around while walking on the red carpet and lifted her skirt towards the camera, making her look even more charming at that moment.
In fact, this is the characteristic of Julien Fournie. Many female celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry have borrowed dresses from this brand, but few have worn its essence.
Ling Suisui casually flicked the ball, and not only did it immediately become a hot topic during the red carpet live broadcast, the related animated picture was easily forwarded over 10,000 times and went viral, making many netizens who were paying attention to the Golden Eagle Awards sigh that the influence of the top stars in the domestic entertainment industry is so terrifying.
It's because she has too many representative works in recent years and rarely markets her beauty, which makes everyone forget that Ling Sui can dominate the entertainment industry with just her face, but she insists on relying on her strength.
The red carpet of the Golden Eagle Awards this year was very lively. In addition to the actors nominated for individual awards, there were also the leading actors nominated for drama awards and guests invited by the Golden Eagle Festival.
"Game is Online" was nominated for Outstanding TV Series, so in addition to Ling Suisui, several leading actors were there. The difference is that only Ling Suisui walked the red carpet alone, while the others were with the director and screenwriter.
However, their seats in the inner field were very close. Ling Suisui was in the front row, and several leading actors were in the back row.
She looked back and saw that the leading actors had arrived in an orderly manner. From left to right they were Fu Ningyun, Zhu Yue, Li Mingxu, and Er Hongwen. They were still sitting according to their ranking, with Er Hongwen sitting last.
Li Mingxu was browsing Weibo. While checking his phone, he reported to Ling Suisui, "A marketing account posted a comparison of your and Sheng Yi's red carpet photos, and the comments below all said that you won by a lot. Her fans actually scolded you after their defense was broken. Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
He also created a secondary account, commented and reposted "Ling Sui is now a success", and today is also a day of trying hard to be a Sui fan.
Ling Suisui: ...
The first thought that came to her mind was, who is Sheng Yi? Oh, it seemed to be a New Year's Eve concert one year. She was singing live, while the other party was lip-syncing but trying to market her singing as real, and it ended up being a disaster.
Fu Ningyun held her chin up in her hand. "She seems to really like marketing her red carpet beauty. I've run into her at events before, and I've been criticized by her a few times. Has any of her works been shortlisted for the Golden Eagle Awards?"
Several people looked at each other, obviously not impressed by her work.
"It's okay, leave her alone." Ling Suisui waved her hand calmly, "I don't rely on being a stunning beauty to make a living."
So what if I win, so what if I lose? She is here to compete for the Best Actress award, not to snatch the title of red carpet goddess from anyone else.
Sheng Yi's fans unilaterally provoked a fight, but were instantly defeated by Sui Si's remark "Don't talk to people who are not nominated." We are not on the same track, so insulting the next player is considered to be giving the other party a boost.
Except for Li Mingxu, Ling Suisui and other leading actors have not been seen for a long time. Fu Ningyun has just finished filming a drama in which she plays the female lead, and her film contracts for next year are almost full. The company is currently focusing on her training, hoping that she can accumulate some inventory, and then continue to release them at a certain point in time to further consolidate her position as a popular young actress.
Li Mingxu is even busier at work. As the leading actor of the annual hit drama "Peach Blossom", and the most popular actor in Planet Films, Aoqi has customized a lot of film and television resources for him, and the efforts of spending a lot of money to promote him are much stronger than the company that Fu Ningyun signed with.
Even in the entertainment industry, male stars earn more than female stars with similar conditions in all other aspects. Li Mingxu is now basically the planet's cash cow. He is wasting his time trying to make money by picking up money from the ground.
Of course, the bulk of the money went to the company, and Ochi spent a lot of effort to promote him, not for charity.
Li Mingxu complained a few words about being too busy recently and it was rare for him to see Ling Suisui, so he told her about his recent troubles.
"The company wants me to play a role in a period drama, but the fans are not satisfied with me being the second lead and protested in the studio's comment section... The fans want the company to let me take the role of a male lead, what do you think, Sister Sui?"
There are many people here, so Ling Suisui answered tactfully: "This kind of play will have very high requirements on the actors in all aspects, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Still the fans dare to think, just a few dishes can make him the male protagonist?
Perhaps Li Mingxu’s fans are eager to remove the label of “pendant” and let Xiao Li prove his ability to carry a drama - but the question is, does he have that thing?
Since they had met each other, Ling Suisui just gave some advice. Anyway, he is young now, so he can focus on both ancient costume drama and serious drama, playing the leading role in the former and the supporting role in the latter. He can learn more from his predecessors and accumulate some connections with directors and screenwriters.
As for the "male lead drama", don't even think about it. Let him do it on his own, he won't be able to carry it; let's invite veteran actors to help out. Their status is there, and if they tell you they want to add more scenes and highlight the characters, do you have the confidence to refuse?
In the end, the gimmick sounded good, but the actual film turned out to be a mess, and the audience won't buy it.
Li Mingxu nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll listen to Sister Sui! I'll tell the company when I get back."
There is still a difference between making quick money and making long-term money.
Everyone was used to him obeying Ling Sui's orders, after all, he had been like this since the filming of the game.
However, Er Hongwen still looked at Ling Suisui for a second longer and sighed.
"I wish I had heard you say that earlier." Er Hongwen said in a teasing tone, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."
This was his true feeling. Not long ago, the film project that Gu Size had approached him for was completed.
Although the film has not been released yet, Er Hongwen no longer has any expectations for its quality, as the shooting scene is similar to what Ling Suisui described.
Gu Size did find a lot of talented actors, but he just couldn't control them. Being popular and having prestige are two different things. A movie is only a few years long. If a dozen actors all want to be in the spotlight, can the plot still be watched?
Er Hongwen is regretting now, regretting it very much. He suspects that under the pressure from other bigwigs, his plot will be cut madly, and all his hard work of several months will be in vain. Who told him to look like the soft persimmon?
He felt that he should have refused the film when Ling Sui declined the offer. If it's really a good cake, how could someone as smart as Ling Suisui miss it?
No wonder she is so focused on filming TV series, the film industry is indeed very complicated.
Ling Sui smiled at him; her sharing of experience was certainly not free. Even if you don't want to thank him in kind, you should at least provide some emotional value like Li Mingxu did, right?
Besides, these things are not profound principles. If he was not in the same boat himself, he would have definitely thought of it. He was just dazzled by the big promise of "impacting the European Big Three".
People may not learn from their mistakes even after they fall. Anyway, Ling Suisui felt that this would not be the last time Er Hongwen did something stupid.
She looked at Zhu Yue, who was very silent tonight, and felt that he was not in a good state.
It’s not a problem with his figure or facial features, it’s his entire temperament... He looks even more tired than the busiest Li Mingxu.
Fu Ningyun also showed concern for Zhu Yue's situation. Zhu Yue smiled and said, "It's okay. It's just a personal matter. I've dealt with it."
Since she said so, no one else asked any more questions. Li Mingxu used his cell phone to have a private chat with Ling Suisui, wanting to get some gossip, but Ling Suisui only replied to him to stop asking and go eat other people's melons.
Judging from Zhu Yue's condition, this "private matter" should not be a pleasant one. Why poke at someone's scars?
As the guests entered one after another, the seats around them were filled up. It was inconvenient to chat in an environment with too many people, so Ling Sui turned back and communicated with the actors next to her.
On her way to the bathroom, she also met Huang Rui and Li Yuanqing, both of whom had their works shortlisted.
Wow, the filming of "The Wave" has not yet begun, but several leading actors have met here first.
Li Yuanqing: "It's so auspicious. I hope we can sit together at the next Golden Eagle Awards, or the one after that."
That refers to the fact that "Under the Wave" was shortlisted. Huang Rui also echoed it, and his eyes involuntarily looked towards the front row.
Well, that's the seat for the Best Actor nominee.
Although it is difficult for the male and female protagonists of two dramas to win awards at the same time, nominations should be no problem. At his age, it is indeed difficult to win an award, but a nomination is enough.
Ling Suisui thought that this was someone who was truly ambitious. This is certainly a good thing for the crew.
Her seat was a little far from them, so they just had a brief chat. Li Yuanqing also said that she would definitely be the center of attention tonight.
"Don't be so mean to me." Ling Suisui waved his hand quickly, "You are really my dear senior brother, but you are still messing with my mentality at this time."
Li Yuanqing said meaningfully: "Whether you win the award or not, you will attract the attention of the whole audience."
Well, that’s true.
When Ling Sui came back from the bathroom and re-entered the venue when almost all the guests were present, she clearly felt the multiple eyes on her.
There is a very true statement on Weibo: Do you think that after being nominated, the person who was most worried about whether he could win the award was Ling Sui?
No, it was her colleagues, the many pollen companies who were watching the live broadcast tonight.
No matter what others thought, Ling Sui returned to his seat calmly. Even Li Mingxu behind her was worried for her, but she seemed to be completely unaware of the stares and gazes of the crowd, and waited quietly for the award ceremony to begin.
Although "Game On" did not win the title of the best TV series, it won the award for outstanding TV series, so the leading actors' trip was not in vain.
When it was time to announce the Best Actress, a large number of viewers flooded into the live broadcast room, the number of comments increased sharply, and even many viewers were blocked out.
The years are here, the years are here, and there are also passers-by who love to watch the fun. Even through the screen, everyone's hearts were beating wildly. How come Ling Suisui was still so calm?
Several cameras were already set up in front of the finalists, waiting to switch shots immediately after the winners were announced. The award presenter was still joking on the stage, but the actors below were already getting restless. Finally, she read out the names of the winners:
"Congratulations-Ling Sui's birthday!"
The screen in the live broadcast room switched to a close-up of Ling Sui. She stood up and bowed to all the guests.
The camera followed her all the way to the stage, fully recording her receiving the trophy and certificate. Weibo marketing accounts quickly brought up the topic of her award, and her friends and fans applauded her crazily in the audience and in front of the screen.
At the last Golden Eagle Awards, she received her first nomination for Best Actress; in this session, she crossed the distance from the stage to the stage.
She had written three drafts of her acceptance speech for Best Actress, and finally got the chance to use it on the fourth draft.
“I am very grateful to the organizing committee for recognizing me. I am honored.”
Ling Sui-sui said to the camera: "Winning this award puts an end to my several runner-up suspense and it is also a new beginning. I will continue to work hard to bring more good works to the audience."
The Best Actress award is not the end for her, it is just the beginning of a new journey.
