Actor Guo, who was about to stand up and wave to the people around him, suddenly froze, and the smile on his face was instantly frozen. What did he hear? Not him? The winner of the Best Actor award, the one to whom his sister was going to present the trophy personally, was not him?
Not only was Actor Guo surprised, but everyone at the scene fell into silence for three seconds after hearing the name Guo Lingling read out. It seemed that many people present did not expect that the winner would be Ouyang Qianran.
Ouyang Qianran, this super rich second-generation, has become a top-tier artist in China after just over a year since his debut. For the entertainment industry, a debut of more than a year is just like a baby who was born not long ago. There is still a long way to go. But now, this little baby, who was born not long ago, has defeated many strong adults and won the award that all male artists in China want to get.
He was only nineteen years old, a young man who had just reached adulthood a year ago. Thinking back to Ling Yingluo, he didn’t win the Best Actor award at the Huaying Awards until he was 22 years old. Then he worked hard for two years abroad before he won the “Finos” Best Actor award. At that time, Ling Yinglu was the youngest winner of the Best Actor Award at the Chinese Film Awards, and also the youngest "Finos" winner.
Now, Ling Yinglu's record has been broken. A young man who is only 19 years old broke the record of the youngest award-winning actor and won the Best Actor Award at the Chinese Film Academy with his own efforts.
A huge applause rang out, and Ouyang Yi hugged Ouyang Qianran excitedly, "Uncle, you won the prize, you won the prize..."
"I know." Ouyang Qianran patted Ouyang Yi on the shoulder, took a step back, then walked to Yan Kuan, shook hands with him, and finally shook hands with Liang Jianwen, who was also a competitor.
Liang Jianwen's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled faintly, "Congratulations."
"Thank you." Ouyang Qianran nodded and smiled faintly in response. Finally, he walked back to Ling Yingluo's side, opened his arms, and looked at Ling Yingluo with a smile.
Ouyang Qianran's action made everyone gasp. Everyone present knew that Ling Yinglu had a very severe mysophobia. Being able to shake hands with him had made many people look at Ouyang Qianran differently. Would Ling Yinglu hug him this time?
The result, of course, was affirmative. Ling Yinglu stood up personally, then gently gave Ouyang Qianran a hug, and soon separated. To others, this was a friendly hug. After all, everyone knew that in addition to thanking director Yan Kuan, the most important thing for Ouyang Qianran to win the award was to thank Ling Yingluo, a good screenwriter.
So after everyone was shocked, they felt relieved.
When he walked onto the stage, Ouyang Qianran took the golden trophy from Guo Lingling, who was still smiling. At this moment, looking at the crowd of people sitting in the audience, he suddenly felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
"Honestly, I didn't expect that I would receive this award. I thought I should have a lot to say, but after coming up, I found that I didn't know what to say. First of all, I want to thank my eldest brother and his wife. They support my willfulness. Without their support, I would not have entered the showbiz industry. Then I want to thank my fans. They are the source of my motivation. Finally, I want to thank Director Yan Kuan and screenwriter Ling. Behind every successful actor, there are countless people who support him. I also want to thank those who silently support me behind the scenes. Thank them."
This time, Ouyang Qianran did not use any flowery words, nor did he say anything humorous or funny like he did the first time. He spoke his acceptance speech very seriously and sincerely. The final bow was full of sincerity and applause broke out from the audience. The Huaying Film Awards Ceremony officially came to an end.
Fans who saw Ouyang Qianran win the Best Actor award in front of the TV couldn't help but cry with excitement. Their idol actually won an award. He was only 19 years old and had been in the entertainment industry for just over a year, but he had already become the best actor. He was also the youngest best actor in Chinese film history. Even younger than the actor Ling back then.
Ouyang Qianxiong and Zhao Yun, who were also watching the live broadcast at home, couldn't help but smile at each other with satisfaction.
Anyway, after seeing Ouyang Qianran win the Best Actor award, Ouyang Qianran’s fans became excited, and those who usually stayed silent all came out. Their idol, Ouyang Qianran became the biggest winner of this year's Huaying Awards. One person won three major awards: Best Newcomer, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Actor. Who else would win?
Ouyang Qianran had already reserved the front page headlines for the next day, and no one in China could stop him.
"The youngest film emperor in Chinese history is born."
"Ouyang Qianran became the biggest winner of Huaying."
"The person behind the success of Mr. Ouyang?"
"The youngest Chinese film actor and the youngest top-tier artist in China."
"A man who surpassed Ling Yingyue..."
…
Ouyang Qianran's winning of the award this time really surprised many people. There will certainly be doubts, but not many. After all, Ouyang Qianran relied on his own strength and worked steadily to get to where he is today. The image of Li Zhaoyang he created is indeed a classic. Of course, some people also say that he borrowed the help of Ling Yingyue, but only a very small number of people think so. Anyway, there are so many people congratulating Ouyang Qianran for winning the Best Actor award. Even those small-time artists in the entertainment industry have left messages on Ouyang Qianran’s Weibo, and their words of congratulations and flattery are obvious. If Ouyang Qianran accidentally noticed it, it would be a disaster.
The Internet was bustling with activity, and Ouyang Qianran's fans felt even more excited than during the Chinese New Year.
Although he won the Best Actor award at the Huaying Film Festival, Ouyang Qianran is not proud because Huaying Film Festival is just a stepping stone for him to get started. His goal is to win the Best Actor award at the Finos Film Festival.
The third day after the award ceremony was New Year's Day on January 1st, which happened to be Mr. Ling's birthday, so Ouyang Qianran and Ouyang Qianxiong and others prepared to go to the Ling family for dinner. As the official head of the Ling family, Mr. Ling’s birthday should have been celebrated with great fanfare. But Mr. Ling didn't like noise, so over the years, he just had simple meals with his family. But this year is different.
This year, with Ouyang Qianran, the future granddaughter-in-law, and Ouyang Qianxiong, the relative, things will certainly be more lively. So as the birthday boy, Mr. Ling got up early in the morning, prepared the ingredients himself, and cooked a good meal himself.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Grandpa Ling was busy in the kitchen, and Grandma Ling was also helping. Suddenly, the housekeeper came to report that a guest had arrived.
"Is it Qianran and the others?" Grandma Ling asked while wiping the water off her hands. After asking, he felt that it was impossible. If it was really Ouyang Qianran and the others, the butler would not come to report, but would bring them in directly.
The housekeeper shook his head and said respectfully, "It's the eldest lady of the Huo family."
"The eldest daughter of the Huo family? Is she the little girl who went abroad for a few years and came back?" What is she doing here? Grandma Ling was wondering, the Huo family's status in China was not as good as the Ling family. In the past few years, the Huo family had been getting worse and worse, and could not compare to the glory of previous years. The Ling family and the Huo family have never had any dealings with each other. Now that the eldest daughter of the Huo family suddenly came to visit, Grandma Ling was really confused.
"Okay, you go and see what's going on. I can handle the kitchen by myself. If there is anything, deal with it quickly. Qianran and the others will be here soon." The old man said to Grandma Ling while peeling a potato with a knife. Well, I need to peel one more potato. Qianran likes spicy and sour shredded potatoes.
When Grandma Ling came out to the living room, the servants were just serving tea to Miss Huo.
The eldest daughter of the Huo family is named Huo Yanmei. She looks as beautiful as her name. She is the girl in red who tried to strike up a conversation with Ling Yingyue at Ouyang Yi’s birthday party last time.
When she saw Grandma Ling coming out, Huo Yanmei immediately stood up, a gorgeous smile immediately appeared on her delicately made-up face, and she called out affectionately: "Grandma Ling..."
Hearing Huo Yanmei's familiar address and her pretended familiarity and intimacy, Grandma Ling felt a little unhappy. Looking at Huo Yanmei, who was wearing a red dress, sexy outfit and heavy makeup, my impression of her was further reduced. But Grandma Ling was also a smart person. Although she was unhappy in her heart, she did not show it.
"Miss Huo, just call me Madam Ling." Grandma Ling was born into a wealthy family, and her every move and gesture had the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family. She did not directly point out that Huo Yanmei was wrong in addressing her, but simply changed the way she said it.
But Huo Yanmei didn't seem to understand what Grandma Ling meant, and continued to smile and said, "It's the same, but I think Grandma Ling is more fluent. Grandma Ling can also just call me by my name, Xiaomei. Calling me Miss Huo is too distant."
Huo Yanmei spoke as if she was very familiar with the Ling family.
Grandma Ling did not correct Huo Yanmei's way of addressing her. She glanced at her calmly, took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "I wonder what brings Miss Huo here today?"
"I always told Grandma Ling that you can just call me Xiaomei. I heard that today is Grandpa Ling's birthday. So I just came back from Country F two days ago and brought back two bottles of 1980 red wine for Grandpa Ling." As she spoke, Huo Yanmei placed the beautifully packaged red wine in her hand on the table.
Huo Yanmei didn't expect Grandma Ling to be so cold towards her, but she didn't care. She believed that with her abilities, Grandma Ling and Grandpa Ling would definitely like her. As long as we can deal with Grandma Ling and Grandpa Ling, there will definitely be no problem with Ling Yingyue.
"Ms. Huo is so thoughtful." Although she had a bad impression of Huo Yanmei, Grandma Ling still thanked her politely. After all, she couldn't refuse a gift when someone came to her house. However, seeing that Ouyang Qianran and the others were about to arrive, Grandma Ling didn't want to keep a stranger in the house, and just as she was about to speak, Huo Yanmei took the lead.
"Wow, it smells so good, is Grandpa Ling cooking dinner? I've heard that Grandpa Ling is an excellent cook, but I didn't expect that I would have such a good time today." Huo Yanmei sniffed cutely, then said to Grandma Ling with a bright smile. She was certain that if she said so, Grandma Ling would definitely let her stay for dinner, and in this way, she would definitely be able to see Ling Yingyue.
But unfortunately, Grandma Ling doesn't play by the rules.
"I'm so sorry, Miss Huo, we have guests coming to our house today, so we may have to be slow."
"Guest? Are you Brother Ling's friend? It just so happens that I also want to meet Brother Ling's friend. After all, I have been exposed to entertainment-related things recently and want to invest in my own entertainment company. However, I don't have much experience. I think Brother Ling's friends also have people who invest in entertainment. It's a good opportunity to ask for your advice." Huo Yanmei didn't seem to understand what Grandma Ling said. She looked like she was going to stay there. The tone of his voice also seemed to pretend that he had a close relationship with Ling Yingluo, just to cause Grandma Ling to misunderstand.
How shameless! Grandma Ling's impression of her became even worse. How could she not understand her own grandson? She thought it was just another self-righteous person who wanted to get close to her grandson. Her tone immediately turned colder. "Sorry, you are not my grandson's friend. We are having a family dinner tonight, so we cannot welcome outsiders. Old Chen, please send Miss Huo out."
"Yes." The housekeeper responded respectfully, then turned to Huo Yanmei and said, "Miss Huo, please..."
"I..." Huo Yanmei didn't expect Grandma Ling to start chasing people away so directly. She felt annoyed, but due to Grandma Ling's identity, she couldn't show it. She could only stand up, look at Grandma Ling's cold face, and then prepare to leave with an unwilling look on her face.
"etc……"
Huo Yanmei was delighted when she heard Grandma Ling's voice suddenly coming from behind. Is Grandma Ling planning to keep her?
"Miss Huo, you'd better take this expensive red wine back. Our Mr. Ling has had stomach problems recently, so he can't drink. Such an expensive red wine cannot be wasted." Grandma Ling gave Butler Chen a look, and Butler Chen immediately picked up the red wine on the table and handed it to Huo Yanmei.
Now, Huo Yanmei's face became even worse. This old woman actually didn't give her face? She is the eldest daughter of the Huo family. Okay, just wait for her. After she deals with Ling Yingyue, she will kick this annoying old woman out of the Ling family.
Huo Yanmei snatched the high-end packaged red wine from Butler Chen's hand and left angrily in her high heels.
Looking at Huo Yanmei, who was twisting her hips and leaving without even showing basic manners, Grandma Ling snorted coldly, "How uneducated." She didn't know whether this was the Huo family's idea or the idea of this silly young lady. If it was the Huo family's idea, then... this matter had to be discussed with Yingyue.
