Chapter 276
Happy 10th Anniversary
Inside the Feitian Awards venue, the crew of "Under the Wave" arrived in great numbers.
Although the leading actors knew that, except Ling Suisui, they would not win any individual awards, it would still be very meaningful if they could witness Ling Suisui going on stage to receive the award on such a significant occasion!
Therefore, Ying Nian even took a special leave from the crew. Before Ling Suisui was surrounded by media reporters and came to the backstage, he asked his companions to keep it a secret for him and not let Ling Suisui know about it.
Several people must have said yes. Huang Rui complained in his heart, is it necessary to make it so serious and mysterious? You came to see the awards ceremony, not to propose.
Not to mention that Ling Suisui and he didn't have that kind of relationship, even if they were a couple, what she wanted most tonight was the trophy, not the wedding ring.
Song Lingshan specially changed her mobile phone to one with a particularly good camera. She didn't tell anyone about this and just prepared it silently. During the meal, Li Yuanqing frequently checked his mobile phone, as if he had something on his mind.
The atmosphere created by these people sitting together... made Huang Rui, who seemed to be in a relaxed mood, feel very confused and felt that he was being excluded invisibly.
No, Ling Sui himself hasn't arrived yet, what are you guys so nervous about?
At this moment, Ling Sui also wanted to ask this question - she has answered "not nervous", "keep calm", "nomination is affirmation" a hundred times, why are there still reporters asking her "what do you think of tonight's Outstanding Actress award".
She knew they wanted to hear "I'm determined to get this," but she was not stupid enough to open the champagne in advance.
Just as Ling Sui was about to use formulaic words to quickly deal with this group of reporters and end the process, she finally heard a slightly different question.
"After the Feitian Awards shortlist was announced, teacher Mei Aihong praised you on Weibo, saying that young actors should learn from you. Do you have anything to say about this?"
The name Mei Aihong may be a little unfamiliar to young people today, but she is a classic among classics in the hearts of the older generation.
Moreover, she is Tang Bing's acting teacher. If it were in the old society, Ling Sui would have to kowtow to this ancestor before learning skills.
This reporter was quite good at setting traps for her. Ling Suisui had seen that Weibo post. Teacher Mei Aihong's original words were "Ling Suisui's portrayal of Li Xiang has many details worthy of learning for young actors." Why did he change the meaning?
She smiled and said, "I am very grateful to Teacher Mei for recognizing Li Xiang. The success of the role is not only due to my personal efforts, but also inseparable from the hard work of all the members of the crew. It is a collective project and the result of the hard work and wisdom of the team."
"I think that Teacher Mei actually wants us actors to learn from each other and make progress together. Acting is a career that requires lifelong accumulation. I don't know my progress on this marathon track yet."
This sentence also answers the question after "If you win the award/don't win the award". She has such a bright future, so what does temporary success or failure matter?
With such a good attitude, Ling Suisui sat down leisurely.
Camera lenses from all directions were directed at her, and some people raised their mobile phones to take pictures. Ling Suisui felt that the place where he was sitting had become a popular tourist attraction. If a sign saying "5 yuan for a photo" was hung next to it, the reminder sound of the blue and green payment code would probably ring all night.
——In the Internet age, everyone has their own way of visiting. Now that we are here at the Feitian Awards, how can we not check in?
Li Yuanqing asked her quietly, "Did you go online today?"
"No, I've been doing my makeup and hair since this morning. It's a rare trip back home for me, so I need to take some business photos."
Ling Suisui was a little curious, "Did I miss some exciting news?"
Li Yuanqing quickly shook his head and said no. Ling Suisui felt that he was a little suspicious and looked at Yingnian again.
Ying Nian was at a loss: "Nothing serious really happened."
Oh, that means it’s really not there, Ling Sui’s heart settled down.
She was sure Ying Nian would not lie to her, and besides, he didn't have the ability to do so. She didn't have to do anything, just look at him a few more times and he would become nervous and exposed.
The award ceremony was a bit long, and Ling Sui was stunned for a while.
Although she seemed calm during the interview just now, she still felt very happy when the reporter mentioned that Teacher Mei Aihong praised her on Weibo.
That's her teacher's teacher. Teacher Qi Xuan said that the teaching style of their school is rather stingy with praise, so Teacher Tang Bing seldom praises her because she seldom gets praise from Teacher Mei. But now Teacher Mei praises her directly! Still on Weibo!
Of course, in front of Teacher Tang Bing, Ling Sui would not be so proud, but changed his words.
Teacher Mei must have thought this: students taught personally cannot be praised easily, for fear that praising them too much will make them proud, so she praises her students' students and achieves her goal in a roundabout way. Doesn’t her good acting prove that Teacher Tang Bing is a good teacher?
No matter what Teacher Mei thought, Teacher Tang felt happy after listening to her. Teacher Tang also asked her when she was going to take in a student so that she could also experience the feeling of "intergenerational intimacy".
Well... Ling Suisui is currently optimistic about Feng Li in the long term, but being a teacher to a little genius is very stressful. Feng Li is growing rapidly, and Ling Suisui must ensure that he progresses faster than her, so that he will have the content and confidence to teach her.
This sounds difficult and challenging, and therefore very attractive.
Ling Sui's thoughts were all over the place until the award ceremony came to the Best Actress award, and then she came back to her senses.
At this time, several cameras were almost facing Ling Suisui's face, and the director frequently cut her screen. Several TV stations are broadcasting this grand ceremony live tonight. Ling Suisui put on a proper business smile and looked at the award presenter who was still creating suspense on the stage.
——Don’t think she wasn’t nervous. If she was really that calm, she wouldn’t have been thinking so much just now!
The Feitian Awards, which are held every two years, have never had a big or small year. Almost every session is a fiercely competitive arena. Ling Suisui placed his hands on his knees, sitting very dignifiedly without moving at all.
What if the ultra-high-definition camera captured the sweat on her palms when she raised her hands?
"I declare that the winner of this year's Feitian Award for Outstanding Actress is——"
The main creators of the Inspur crew leaned forward involuntarily, and the people in front of the screen became restless, feeling that their hearts were about to jump out of their throats.
The screen switched back and forth between several shortlisted actresses. Ling Suisui kept telling herself in her heart that no matter whose name was called next, she must manage her expression well.
"Under the wave, Ling Suisui, congratulations."
The audience burst into loud and warm applause, and countless eyes were focused on the protagonist at this moment.
Ling Sui stood up and bowed to the audience in gratitude, almost following the instructions automatically input into her brain. It was not until she walked along the passage made by the people around her and all the way to the back of the stage that she realized her eyes were moistening.
It was too late to wipe the tears, so Ling Sui simply let the tear fall, and the tear marks became a part of her makeup tonight.
A clip from "Under the Wave" was playing on the screen. She had rarely seen Li Xiang this big. After all, the only media they had met before were tablets and TVs.
Ling Sui watched it very carefully, then stood at the designated position under the guidance of the host and award presenter and received her trophy and certificate.
She has won many awards and knows exactly what to say on the podium. She can even give a bilingual speech. But at this moment, she was actually a little choked up.
"Thank you to the jury for recognizing Xia Lang Xia and Li Xiang."
Ling Suisui slowly regained her composure and continued, "I have always hoped that acting could become my lifelong career. I will continue to work hard to bring you better works, thank you."
This was probably the shortest acceptance speech she had ever given. After walking down the stairs, Ling Suisui realized how much he had missed.
Forget it, it doesn’t matter. I can still write a short essay on Weibo later.
She had to pay attention to the time when receiving the award, and her steps to the stage were a little hurried. After she stepped down, she finally had some time to hug and thank the friends who had come to the scene to support her.
When passing by Yingnian, Ling Sui found that his face was covered with tears and he was crying more excitedly than himself.
"...What's wrong with you?" Ling Sui asked him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Yingnian sniffed, "I'm so happy. Suisui, congratulations. I specially wore my favorite dress today because I believe you can do it. You are the youngest Grand Slam actress in the domestic entertainment industry. I guess no one can break your record."
What does it mean to win three Best Actress awards at the age of 27? And she didn’t just sweep the awards with just one work; each award is the result of accumulation step by step.
Ying Nian still felt sorry for her: "You had a chance to sweep the whole thing... it's all because of..."
Ying Nian stopped talking in time. This was a live broadcast. Even if there were no cameras filming, he couldn't talk nonsense like that. It would be bad for Ling Sui's image.
Ling Suisui: ...
Never mind. It's already a great improvement that he can stop speaking in the middle of something.
Ling Suisui wiped away her tears and said that she would pay for the party tonight. Although she had to catch a flight tomorrow and couldn't stay up late with them tonight, she could still pay the bill for them. They were able to come to the scene to support her, and this kind of friendship is very precious in the domestic entertainment industry.
After leaving the stage, Ling Sui changed her clothes and prepared to get on the business car. Li Yuanqing followed her and gave her a bouquet of flowers.
Ling Suisui was stunned for a moment. She looked at the words "Happy 10th Anniversary" written on the card, and memories of the past suddenly flooded into her mind.
In the domestic entertainment industry, usually only idols have a specific "debut anniversary". It is difficult to trace the specific date of actors. Even the year should be based on the filming or broadcast time of a certain work.
But Ling Suisui remembers this "tenth anniversary". Ten years ago today, the show "Mystery in Progress" was broadcast and Jia Zhenzhen met the audience for the first time.
Li Yuanqing: "When I found out about this, it was trending on the Internet for quite some time. I was very nervous and anxious because this day was so special. I wanted you to win the award, but I was also afraid that you would feel doubly sorry if you missed it. But fortunately, the Feitian Award did not let you down."
Ling Suisui tried hard to hold back her tears, but with so much emotion, her eyes still turned red.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." She said, "Counting the days, this is the tenth year, one month and eight days since we met. Thank you for taking care of me before."
One month and eight days were the days when she looked forward to Jia Zhenzhen's appearance on the show with nervous anticipation.
Now she is an international star, but she still remembers how seriously she took an NPC character.
Li Yuanqing's nose was sour, and he said, "Thank you for taking care of me in the Inspur crew."
"Sui Sui, let's make great strides forward in the next ten years, just like the past ten years."
