Xu Yanyu was also very happy, not only because she won the prestigious Best Actress award.
Also, because their film has a very high chance of winning that award they particularly want.
"We have hope!"
Xu Yanyu said excitedly.
The assistant director was startled and also became excited.
Yes, there is hope.
Looking at the award lists of international film festivals, the Best Director Award and the Best Actress Award are closely related.
At this moment, the host on stage finally finished reading his lines.
"Now, please welcome our Xu Yanyu to the stage!"
"Go on!" Director Zeng waved, signaling Xu Yanyu to go on stage.
"Mm!" Xu Yanyu nodded.
She lifted her skirt and walked step by step onto the stage.
The surrounding lights flashed brightly again in an instant.
Xu Yanyu walked onto the stage, and the host placed her crystal trophy in her hands.
The host asked with a smile, "Our beautiful lady, do you have anything to say at this moment?"
Xu Yanyu held the trophy, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, but quickly that confusion turned into determination.
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through her mind.
I have so much to say.
She took a deep breath and calmed herself down before speaking.
"Tonight, standing on this dazzling stage, holding this weighty Best Actress trophy in my hands, I am incredibly excited."
"This is not only an honor that belongs to me personally, but also a shared honor that belongs to our entire 'Blood Milk' crew. Here, I would like to thank my director and every member of the crew..."
On the glittering podium, Xu Yanyu, holding the trophy, was dazzling and eye-catching.
Meanwhile, Xiao Fang, who was in the media section of the audience, was so excited that his hand holding the microphone was almost shaky.
Her voice trembled as she said, "After seven years, our Flower Kingdom has finally had an actor bring this trophy back!"
Meanwhile, the number of viewers in the live stream was surging.
Netizens left numerous comments.
[Oh my god, what a huge upset! This year's Best Actress award actually went to a Chinese actress.]
The honor belongs to our Flower Kingdom!
[Ahhh! Qiangtou is so awesome, so amazing!]
Yan Yu, you have lived up to our expectations! Even after becoming an international singer, you haven't forgotten your roots and continue to hone your acting skills.
Who would have thought that she was once criticized online for her poor acting skills and even earned the nickname "Jade Bottle"?
Wait... what movie is "Blood Milk"? This is such an amazing film, how come I've never seen it?!
[For netizens in China, "Blood Milk" can only be seen in foreign cinemas; it's not available in Chinese theaters.]
Why? I also want to see this movie that won the Best Actress award at an international film festival!
...
International film festivals naturally attract a lot of attention from media outlets around the world, and domestic media certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to grab the top spot on trending topics.
Soon, many related terms about international film festivals appeared on Weibo's trending topics in China.
[Shocking! Xu Yanyu wins Best Actress at this year's international film festival!]
What exactly is the novel *Blood and Milk* about?
Where can I watch "Blood Milk"?
Xu Yanyu's look at the film festival is absolutely stunning...
...
Xu Yanyu had no idea that receiving such an award had stirred up a storm on Weibo's trending topics.
After she finished reading her final words of thanks, she took the crystal glass and walked off the stage.
The heavy trophy weighed on her hands, and she was filled with joy.
She felt very content.
After returning to their original seats, Han Meng and the others curiously examined the crystal-clear trophy.
Han Meng couldn't help but say, "If I can win this award in my lifetime, my acting career will be complete."
"Yes! But that's unlikely. It's still possible to win awards at domestic film festivals."
Yu Jingya looked enviously at the trophy that Xu Yanyu had placed on the table.
Director Zeng coughed twice to encourage them, "How will you know if you'll succeed if you don't try?"
Xu Yanyu smiled and said, "Let's all cheer each other on."
Soon after, another prestigious award was announced on stage—the Best Director Award.
Xu Yanyu straightened her back and looked at the stage.
The assistant director's hands were clenched so tightly they turned white.
Yu Jingya muttered to herself, "It's here...it's here...it has to be a hit!"
This time, the host's expression was quite solemn, completely unlike his previous jovial demeanor.
For the first time ever, he didn't keep everyone in suspense for too long this time.
Holding the microphone, he spoke slowly and powerfully: "She was a great creator of cinematic art, and she dedicated her life to film..."
Her life has been full of hardships, but she has never forgotten her original aspirations.
He created many films throughout his life, yet remained largely unknown...
Among the films she made in her lifetime were "The Wrong Road" and "The Dark Sky"...
When the following words were read aloud, the assistant director could no longer hold back his tears.
He murmured in a hoarse voice, "Sister Yan, did you see that? We did it!"
Your hard work wasn't in vain... Waaah...
Xu Yanyu also sighed, "Yes! The sun will eventually shine on everyone."
Her hands were clenched tightly.
At that moment, she was even happier than if she had won the trophy herself.
Director Zeng reached out and wiped his face; his eyes were a little red.
Han dreamed of the person who was lying in the hospital bed, still explaining the play to them.
Yu Jingya covered her mouth, afraid that she would lose control and cry out loud.
"We've been holding this in for a year!" Xu Yanyu muttered to herself, staring at the stage.
