Chapter 422 The First Person
Scenes from "Startling by Each Step" flashed through his mind quickly, and Jiang Fangzhuo suddenly recalled the scene in the first episode where the heroine Zhang Xiao quarreled with her boyfriend.
Suddenly exclaimed: "I remember now! Zhang Xiao has a boyfriend in modern society, and it seems his last name is Song!"
As she spoke, she looked at the smiling Liu Shishi, and suddenly a bold guess popped up in her mind. She asked tentatively, "Teacher Liu, the part where Zhang Xiao quarreled with her boyfriend, could it be that Mr. Song dubbed it?"
Liu Shishi did not answer immediately, but just kept laughing, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.
Jiang Fangzhou knew he had guessed right, and was surprised and delighted: "Ah! It turned out to be Mr. Song's voice!"
Liu Shishi smiled gently and nodded to explain, "My husband did the voiceover for that scene. He came to visit the crew and on a whim, he voiced the character whose face was not shown."
Jiang Fangzhou resolved his doubts and put his mind at ease. He smiled and joked, "No wonder! With Mr. Song here, who would choose the Fourth Prince or the Eighth Prince?"
"It turns out that there was such an interesting thing during the filming of "Startling by Each Step." He Jiong noticed that the TV King He Shengming was being ignored on the stage, and cleverly struck up a conversation:
"Teacher He, ladies first, let's ask Shishi to give her acceptance speech first."
"As I should." He Shengming responded, but he felt helpless in his heart.
The audience's attention was all on Liu Shishi. He was standing aside at the moment, looking like a newcomer into the entertainment industry, feeling very embarrassed.
Liu Shishi understood clearly that the host was reminding her of the process. She took a deep breath and began her long-prepared acceptance speech:
“Thank you to the Golden Eagle Awards, the organizing committee and all the judges for awarding this honor to me and Ruoxi! This trophy is a milestone and a new starting point.
It will inspire me to work harder in the future to challenge deeper and more powerful roles, and to repay everyone's love with better works."
The first sister spoke eloquently and bowed deeply at the end, saying sincerely: "Once again, I sincerely thank the Golden Eagle Awards! Thank you everyone! Thank you for remembering Ruoxi, and thank you for recognizing Liu Shishi!"
After a passionate speech, Sa Beining took over the conversation: "Teacher Liu Shishi resonates with the character, and with her tenacity and sincerity, she has steadily moved forward step by step on the road of being an actor."
After He Shengming finished his speech, Liu Shishi returned to her seat happily, holding the gold cup in her hand.
Li Xuejian looked at her with relief in his eyes.
He has witnessed Liu Shishi's growth since the filming of "The Founding of a Republic" that year: "Congratulations, Shishi. You are the youngest winner of the Golden Eagle Award since its establishment in 1983!"
Sister Yi smiled with her eyes curved, as smart as a crescent moon: "Thank you, teacher! Let me make a promise first, next year when "Silent Shorthand" is broadcast, we will join forces to win the prize."
At this point, the winners of this year's Golden Eagle Awards' four categories of Best Actor and Best Actress have been announced, and there are still two major awards to come.
The first Best Performing Arts Award was announced, and was won by Wu Xiubo and Song Jia.
Afterwards, the award ceremony welcomed the last award, the Best Popular Actor and Actress Award of the 9th Golden Eagle TV Art Festival, which is also the winner of the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor and Best Actress Crystal Cup.
The Best Popular Actor award was won by Wen Zhang. He has starred in many high-rated TV series in recent years, including "Dwelling Narrowness", "Snow Leopard" and "Naked Marriage", and his popularity has exploded. It is reasonable for him to win the crystal cup.
On the electronic screen, the images of five popular actress nominees appeared in sequence: Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Ma Su, Tong Liya, and Song Jia.
The camera slowly scanned their faces, capturing each expression of expectation or calmness.
On the stage, the award presenter Wang Xueqi announced in a clear and loud voice: "The winner of the 9th... Popular Actress Award is Liu Shishi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Liu Shishi suppressed her surprise, stood up, turned around and waved to the audience.
Holding the golden cup in her hand, she walked onto the stage again with a swaying figure and took the sparkling crystal cup from the guest.
At this moment, the sister has a glittering golden cup in her left hand and a dazzling crystal cup in her right hand.
Facing the audience, I suddenly felt a heroic mood like my husband Song Ci, who is the best candidate for this job.
Wen Zhang, who also had two cups in his hands, was knowledgeable and took the initiative to make way for Liu Shishi, allowing her to stand alone in the center of the stage, becoming the most dazzling and eye-catching presence in the audience.
Song Jia, Ma Su and Chen Shu, who were standing in the audience, looked at the high-spirited No. 1 sister and suddenly felt that the golden cup in their hands was no longer attractive.
Golden Eagle Goddess + Gold Cup + Crystal Cup, this is the Golden Eagle Grand Slam! Liu Shishi is the worthy Golden Eagle TV Queen!
The previous three Golden Eagle Goddesses had never won the award, and the female stars who won the award were not Golden Eagle Goddesses.
Until this year's Golden Eagle Awards ceremony, Liu Shishi won three major honors in one, becoming the unprecedented Grand Slam Golden Eagle Award winner.
What’s even more amazing is that she is only 25 years old this year and is also the youngest Best Actress in the history of the Golden Eagle Awards.
After the party, Liu Shishi was surrounded by reporters as soon as she walked out of the venue. She couldn't get away, so she had to stop and accept interviews.
Not far away, Yang Mi's eyes were filled with envy. She had gained nothing tonight and was about to leave with some boredom, but was stopped by a middle-aged woman.
"Ms. Yang, I'm Zhong Junyan, president of Huanrui Century Film and Television Company." After introducing herself, the visitor handed over a business card.
"Hello, President Zhong." Yang Mi had heard of Huanrui Century, which was considered a second-tier film and television company in the industry. She couldn't help but wonder what the female president wanted to see her about.
Zhong Junyan got straight to the point: "Ms. Yang, Huanrui is preparing to shoot a costume drama and would like to invite you to play the leading female role."
"Mr. Zhong, this isn't a certain type of drama?" The resources that were delivered to her doorstep aroused some interest in Yang Mi, but she also understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and there would surely be additional conditions.
"It is a fairy tale drama adapted from the game "Gu Jian Qi Tan", which was jointly invested by Huanrui and Guangguang Media with 80 million yuan."
Xianxia! Or a game adaptation! This immediately reminded Yang Mi of the "Xianjian" series produced by Tangren Film and Television, a large-scale production with an investment of 80 million yuan, which is definitely a top-notch resource.
"Boss Zhong, if I take this role, are there any additional conditions?"
Seeing that Yang Mi was testing him, Zhong Junyan explained directly: "Ms. Yang, Huanrui sincerely invites you to star in "Gu Jian Qi Tan" without any additional conditions. The male lead of this drama is our company's artist Li Yifeng."
Hearing this, Yang Mi suddenly understood that an investment of 80 million is not a small amount, and Huanrui is obviously not completely sure. In order to ensure the ratings, the leading actor must have top-level traffic.
Since the male lead is newcomer Li Yifeng, the female lead must be a popular actress.
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are only a handful of top female stars who can carry a drama, and there are only a few such as Liu Shishi.
But Liu Shishi obviously won't take this drama. Ancient costume fantasy is Tangren Film's strong point, so why would the first sister choose a faraway one? Apart from Liu Shishi, Yang Mi is the best choice for the female lead.
Of course, if you want to get this kind of top-level resource, it is impossible to do it without any effort, and "nursing newcomers" is an implicit condition.
Yang Mi quickly figured out that she and Zeng Jia were going to start a business next year, and the company would definitely have to sign new people.
The drama "Gu Jian Qi Tan" will inevitably require a large number of supporting roles. Huanrui wants to attract her traffic to support Li Yifeng. She may not be able to use "Gu Jian Qi Tan" to bring in newcomers from her own company.
Both parties got what they needed and hit it off immediately. They quickly reached a preliminary cooperation intention and agreed to discuss the details at another day.
Tonight, Liu Shishi's fans, the little lions, couldn't sleep all night. The fan group was celebrating their idol becoming the Golden Eagle Grand Slam Best Actress. Everyone was happily holding a lucky draw, and the scene was very lively.
As the night deepens, inside the hotel room.
Liu Shishi sat in front of her computer, browsing a blog post with great interest. This recently published article had already made it to the top ten of the trending search list.
The blogger's logic is clear and well-organized.
The analysis is conducted from five dimensions: number of works and ratings dominance, character creation and acting recognition, popularity and topicality, industry resources and commercial value, and personal traits and public image.
It is said that Liu Shishi is already the "number one" in the field of Chinese TV dramas!
The article mentioned that in terms of works, a phenomenal hit drama with high ratings and multiple high-exposure works are needed as a foundation.
Several actresses including Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Sun Li, Lu Yi, Wang Luodan, and Yin Tao all meet the criteria.
In terms of roles and awards alone, only Liu Shishi, Yang Mi and Sun Li met the requirements. The three roles of Ruoxi, Qingchuan and Zhen Huan were popular all over the country.
All three of them were nominated for the Magnolia Awards, and Liu Shishi, as the new Golden Eagle Award winner, took the top spot.
As for new media exposure, fan base, and cross-border influence in movies, fashion, etc., Liu Shishi and Yang Mi are evenly matched. Both have large numbers of fans and excellent movie box office results.
In terms of film and television resources and traffic monetization capabilities, Liu Shishi is at the forefront, holding three top endorsements: Gucci, Omega, and Porsche, which is unique in the domestic entertainment industry.
In terms of image management, the actresses have different personalities: Sun Li's dedication and calmness, Yang Mi's "model worker" label, and Wang Luodan's stubborn girl vibe.
Liu Shishi's characteristic of being "as gentle as a chrysanthemum" is also deeply imprinted in the audience's memory.
To sum up, Liu Shishi has both strength and popularity, and her performance is particularly outstanding. She was rated five stars by bloggers and has become the well-deserved "No. 1 on the small screen" at the moment.
"This blogger has a very accurate view of people and things! His analysis is so on point!" Liu Shishi praised repeatedly.
I logged into my husband's secondary account and clicked "like" on his post, adding fuel to the already hot topic.
"Since you have made such a thorough analysis, I will be merciful and use Song Yiyi's trumpet to help you. Whether you can catch this overwhelming wealth depends on your ability."
When Yijie was feeling elated about winning the title of "No. 1 on the small screen", Cai Yinong called her.
"Shishi, congratulations on winning the Golden Eagle Grand Slam Best Actress Award!"
Liu Shishi curled her lips modestly: "Thank you, Sister K."
"To be honest, I was really surprised to see the news that you won the Grand Slam today." Cai Yinong sighed softly, "This kind of award is always shared.
You are already the Golden Eagle Goddess, and I think it is the limit to give you a gold cup. I didn’t expect Mango TV to give you a crystal cup as well. It is really unexpected. "
"It's just for my husband's sake." Liu Shishi said nonchalantly while admiring the award-winning picture forwarded by fans.
In the photo, she stood in the center of the stage holding a gold cup and a crystal cup in her hands. Fans also photoshopped an exquisite crown for her, which was her Golden Eagle Goddess's headdress, making her even more dazzling.
“It seems that Mango TV has really invested a lot of money to win over Tengda Group, so why not just go all the way?
But to be fair, the ratings of "Startling by Each Step" and "Xuan-Yuan Sword" are there, and you deserve the Best Actress award, and others can't say anything."
Hearing the hidden meaning behind Sister K's words, Liu Shishi looked disdainful. She understood what Sister K meant. There were still some noises on the Internet about her winning the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress this time.
Many fans of female stars spoke up for their idols, saying that the Golden Eagle Awards were manipulated by capital and had lost its authority.
"Tsk, I know some female star fans are not convinced. I rely on men for my yin and yang. I do, so what? If you have the guts, just ask her mistress to find a man to rely on. Let me show you a picture, Sister K!"
After saying that, Liu Shishi opened WeChat and forwarded a photo she had received not long ago.
Cai Yinong, who was at home at the time, was stunned when he saw the photo and was speechless for a long time.
In the picture, the No. 1 sister's husband, the richest man Mr. Song, had a slightly reserved smile, and standing next to him were actually two leaders.
Liu Shishi looked proud: "Sister K, isn't my husband handsome? This is a group photo of the leaders and business representatives after the meeting."
Cai Yinong was amazed: "Mr. Song is not only handsome, but also approachable and wealthy!"
"Hehe!" Liu Shishi tilted her head and smiled foolishly. She looked at the photo and became happier and happier.
"I'm flying to Moscow tomorrow to take another set of wedding photos in Red Square. I'll probably be returning to Beijing with my husband on the 15th. Sister K, are you free these days?"
"There is work, but it's not urgent." Cai Yinong said, "The five major magazines have all sent you invitations to shoot the cover of their October issue. If you are willing, you can complete the "Grand Slam" of the five major magazines at any time."
"I got it. We'll talk about it when I have time." Liu Shishi didn't care at all about the covers of the five major magazines that all the stars in the entertainment industry were vying for.
With her current popularity and fashion resources, the "Grand Slam" that others can only dream of is just icing on the cake for her.
"In the Internet age, the sales of paper magazines have dropped significantly. The five major magazines are all seeking transformation and are busy promoting electronic publications. Weibo is an indispensable distribution channel for them, so naturally they all want to please you, the boss lady of Tenda."
Cai Yinong couldn't help but sigh. If someone had told her two years ago that the top five magazines would vie for a female star to appear on the cover of their magazines, she would have thought it was a fantasy. But now, such an incredible thing was right in front of her.
"It's no use trying to please me. I never interfere in the affairs of the Tengda Group. Sister K, is there anything else?"
"You have received a new endorsement from Richemont, the world's second largest luxury goods company."
"Which brand?" Liu Shishi became interested. Richemont Group has many top brands: Piaget, Montblanc, Vacheron Constantin...
"I am the global brand spokesperson for Cartier, including jewelry, watches, leather goods and all other categories! Two-year contract, endorsement fee of 15 million US dollars a year."
Liu Shishi nodded: "If there is no problem with the brand investigation, then let's go ahead. I'm short of money recently."
Cai Yinong was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard wrongly. How could the wife of Asia's richest man be short of money?
Liu Shishi explained: "I want to give my husband a wedding gift, and that thing is a little expensive."
