Chapter 55 055 After the Ceremony of Purity
Chapter 54
"I???"
The scene of Lin Yuan interacting with the award presenter was captured on camera without reservation. Even after receiving a positive answer, he was still in a daze.
"Hilarious! What is this guy doing? I seriously doubt he even wrote an acceptance speech."
"Clearly, he hadn't even considered the possibility of winning an award."
"cute!!"
Hua Lin was also a little worried about Lin Yuan's condition: "Did you write your acceptance speech?"
After she asked that question, she met a pair of overly sincere, large eyes.
Okay, I got it.
It's obviously too late to write it now.
Hua Lin really wanted to complain: Just how little did Lin Yuan think about winning the award?
However, she thought again that once Lin Yuan went on stage, she could simply use his acceptance speech for Best Newcomer.
...
It wasn't until he stepped onto the podium that Lin Yuan snapped out of his daze. He gripped the trophy tightly against the base, then held it firmly in his palm.
For him, this was a very unexpected award. It's not that Lin Yuan never expected it—anyone who was shortlisted had a chance to win.
Lin Yuan hadn't expected the trophy to arrive so quickly.
He only wrote his acceptance speech for Best Newcomer; he didn't write one for Best Supporting Actor. But at this moment, all he needed to do was convey his thoughts.
Lin Yuan raised the trophy high and looked at the stage, where he saw bright smiling faces and applause.
If he hadn't come here, he probably would never have seen these smiling faces.
After all, not long ago, he was just an idol with no presence at all.
"A Thousand Mountains" was my first film, and Gu Yilou was the first film role I played. I still remember the day I successfully auditioned. I was sitting on the bus, watching the crowds getting on and off around me, trying to understand Gu Yilou's inner world.
[Actually, I felt a little lonely at that moment, but I wouldn't dare say that Gu Yilou was lonely; perhaps he didn't even possess the emotion of loneliness.]
In my eyes, Gu Yilou is an empty shell, and during the months of filming, I tried to become that shell myself.
I'm honored that my portrayal of Gu Yilou has been recognized, especially considering I have many strong competitors, like Mr. Qian Hang from "The Secret of a Flower." I admire your nuanced expression.
Qian Hang smiled quietly from below the stage.
[Thank you to director Qin Panyun for choosing me, and thank you to all the actors I worked with on set; we had a wonderful few months together.]
I won an award!
Remember to treat me to a meal!
"Lin Yuan, that's going too far. Shouldn't you be treating us to dinner now that you've won an award?"
"that is!"
The group members unanimously agreed.
"Lin Yuanzhen, after going on stage, still had to read Qian Hang's name aloud. Just how deep is his obsession with Qian Hang winning the award?"
"Hahaha! So cool!!"
Perhaps before going on stage, Lin Yuan was still thinking that Qian Hang was the one who would win; it was only after he went on stage that his happiness slowly began to show.
In the footage, the young man has soft hair, and his black eyes shine brightly under the lights. When he looks at the trophy, a hint of tenderness flashes in his eyes.
When he smiles, his dimples look even cuter, and paired with his star-like eyes, it's as if he himself is the most radiant ray of sunshine on the stage.
"We won an award!"
"Winning on their first nomination!!!"
"The only regret is that Lin Yuan didn't sing 'Hot' tonight, ahhhhh!"
Sang Li's mouse remained frozen at the moment Lin Yuan gave his acceptance speech, unwilling to leave.
He looked handsome on the red carpet, but Lin Yuan was even more dashing when accepting his award.
How can someone have such an adorable smile?
Unfortunately, the character the other person played bore no resemblance to the person they were playing.
Of course, the award ceremony was also very cute, very much in Lin Yuan's style.
Although she still can't explain which style Lin Yuan is referring to.
Perhaps it's the style of being calm and collected most of the time, but striking hard at crucial moments?
...
On the night the Golden Wing Awards ceremony ended, Feng frankly told Lin Yuan that he was receiving fierce collaboration offers—
After Lin Yuan won the Golden Wing Award for Best Supporting Actor, job offers from various companies multiplied, and brands that were previously hesitant now all adopted an aggressive approach.
After all, Lin Yuan's Golden Wing Award has already been decided.
Winning a Best Newcomer award at the Golden Wing Awards is enough to prove an actor's potential, while winning an acting award means that Lin Yuan is already at the forefront among young actors.
Although he only has one Best Supporting Actor award.
However, the moment he received the award, the media began to point out that the Golden Wing Award, which has been held for over 70 years, makes Lin Yuan the second youngest male recipient in its history.
The last time a Golden Wing Award was presented to an actor aged 20 or older was at the 47th Golden Wing Awards.
Although both were young actors who won awards, the media coverage in those days was not as extensive as it is now. Nowadays, winning an award not only means an increase in film and television resources, but also represents unlimited commercial resources.
In other words, winning an award once brings a hundredfold return.
"I'm incredibly busy," the agent admitted. "My inbox is overflowing."
After Lin Yuan returned home from the awards ceremony, his WeChat, which he rarely used, kept buzzing.
The members of Wink, including Ye Liuchuan, all sent him congratulatory text messages, acting as if the chat with He Xun had never happened.
And then there's the producer of "Tomorrow's Star," who sent Lin Yuan a casual congratulatory text message the day after his debut night, and then disappeared without a trace.
Today, it seems the other party only just remembered that there was an unknown nobody named Lin Yuan in their contacts.
"Sure enough, you were right not to join Wink back then. None of those guys at Wink are doing as well as you now."
—Still speaking in a haughty tone, as if it were a blessing that Lin Yuan didn't debut with Wink, and that he had the foresight to recognize talent.
Lin Yuan stared at the screen for a long time, thought for a moment, and then sent a message: "It will be better in the future."
A life ruined by failing to debut will only have a better ending in the future.
Lin Yuan was in the car, the trophy beside him, heavy but he still couldn't feel its reality.
So that night, he put the trophy on his bedside table and went to sleep. When he woke up the next morning and saw the trophy still on his bedside table, his sense of reality became a little stronger.
"Just how little confidence do you have in yourself?" He Xun said. "Send me your address, I want to come to your house and touch the trophy."
"One hundred per time, no bargaining."
"Heh, you look down on me." He Xun transferred 1,000 yuan to Lin Yuan in one go. "I want to touch you ten times!"
The man really did arrive. Within an hour of Lin Yuan sending the address, He Xun showed up at his house.
"envy."
Lin Yuan: "...Can't you say anything else besides this word?"
"envy."
"?"
“Jealousy,” He Xun said. “Do you realize how significant this award is?”
Seeing Lin Yuan's expression, He Xun felt even more helpless: "I knew you didn't know."
Anyway, congratulations.
He Xun stretched out his hand, and Lin Yuan stepped forward to grasp it. Suddenly, there was a "bang," and He Xun pulled out a firework tube from somewhere, and colorful flowers bloomed above Lin Yuan's head.
Then he took a cake out of the bag.
Lin Yuan: "...Are you Doraemon?"
"Shouldn't we be moved to tears at this moment?"
Lin Yuan: "...I was just thinking about how to improve the sanitation."
He Xun: "..."
He's the kind of person who's bad at talking, but he's gradually improving now. But Lin Yuan... has absolutely no charm whatsoever.
It's practically a single-celled organism.
It's hopeless!
“I thought you would be very moved, and then I would be moved by you…” He Xun slapped his forehead, glanced at Lin Yuan, continued to slap his forehead dejectedly, glanced at Lin Yuan again, and put on an even more disgusted expression, “Hopeless, this guy.”
Lin Yuan: "..."
"The sanitation fee is calculated in that thousand miles."
"That's a different price."
Lin Yuan ate the cake; it was strawberry flavored. He cut it in half, and he and He Xun each got half.
This is the sweetest cake Lin Yuan has ever eaten.
It was so sweet that Lin Yuan even felt like crying for a moment.
...
After the Golden Wing Award, Lin Yuan remained silent, but his studio's official Weibo account posted his award-winning photo, which can be considered as completing his promotional activities.
Sang Zi was already used to it; Lin Yuan had always been like this. If he suddenly focused on his work one day, she would feel uncomfortable.
Suddenly, she saw the hashtag #HeXunLinYuan# trending on social media.
Sang Zi was well aware that He Xun and Lin Yuan had collaborated on "The Powerful Minister".
After Lin Yuan won the Golden Wing Award for Best Supporting Actor, the popularity of "The Powerful Minister" skyrocketed overnight. Of course, there were still many voices that were not optimistic about it, but these were directed at Lin Yuan. The production team of "The Powerful Minister" was generally considered to have made a good deal.
It's uncertain whether Lin Yuan would be willing to take the job now, and even if he were, it would be for a different price.
Sang Zi had vaguely heard rumors that Lin Yuan and He Xun's relationship was so-so. She didn't know if it was true or not, but it seemed to have been revealed by Ye Liuchuan.
It's not that Ye Liuchuan expressed those thoughts very directly, but he mentioned unintentionally that He Xun contacted him because of his cooperation with Lin Yuan.
Clicking on this entry, Sangzi didn't see words like "estrangement" or "broken relationship," but rather—
Lin Yuan appears blurry in the shot, but his smile is incredibly radiant.
The outline of the cake can be vaguely seen beside the blurry shadow, while the trophy is behind it.
In short, even though the expression was so blurry that it was impossible to see clearly, the overall style of the photo was still very bright. Sangzi had seen too many different versions of Lin Yuan, but this Lin Yuan was more radiant and bright than the Lin Yuan in her memory.
She wanted to see more Lin Yuan like this.
Sangzi had heard people say that celebrities like Lin Yuan have experienced long periods of low morale, and have suffered insults, ridicule, and betrayal. It is not easy for them to get back on their feet. Therefore, he will do his best as a celebrity, work hard, and cherish every opportunity.
But because of his low points, he saw the ugliest side of human nature, and he saw fans who once loved him to death turn away. One second he was in heaven, and the next he was in hell.
Therefore, he will be more rational, will act with sincerity, and will be reluctant to reveal his true self.
Sang Zi sometimes wondered if Lin Yuan was like that too.
But at this moment, in the scene before him, Lin Yuan revealed the purest joy.
It must be because they met a very good friend.
Aside from the photo not being very clear, everything else is perfect.
