Chapter 89 Winning the Award [VIP]
Chapter Summary: Our relationship is great; we won't tolerate any attempts to sow discord.
On June 23, the 28th Golden Horn Awards ceremony was held at the Beicheng Art Center, where more than 200 filmmakers, including the film teams of the nominated films, the nominated directors and actors, and invited celebrity guests, gathered together.
Unlike fashion galas or year-end platform awards ceremonies where top stars gather and shine brightly, the Golden Horn Awards, one of the three major awards in China, is a grand event for filmmakers.
During the live broadcast of the red carpet event, the comments section was flooded with messages from Mu Zhi's fans.
Tonight's awards ceremony features many actors with higher profiles than Mu Zhi, but in terms of popularity, Mu Zhi, as a rising star, is the most popular among the nominated actors tonight.
She is also the most anticipated and noteworthy actress on the red carpet tonight.
Mu·Focus·Zhi only had time to try on the dress this morning. After the dress is selected, a dedicated stylist will make detailed adjustments to the dress according to the artist's height and body shape so that the artist can show the best upper body effect after wearing the dress.
In the afternoon, the styling team did Muzhi's makeup and hair at the hotel.
This is the second time we've collaborated with this stylist.
I learned from browsing Weibo that Mu Zhi is currently filming in Lhasa.
Seeing Mu Zhi's skin today, I couldn't help but admire it and exclaimed in praise:
"Teacher Xiaozhi, you haven't gotten a tan at all."
"Her skin is still so fair and smooth, she's really amazing!"
I stayed in Lhasa for more than half a month.
The filming mainly took place in the city. In the movie, Asang only stayed in Lhasa, the first stop on her journey to Namtso, for two days, so she wouldn't have gotten tanned so quickly. She wore black powder for the scenes where she returned to Lhasa from Namtso.
Therefore, Mu Zhi took careful sun protection measures and did not get tanned.
I wonder how many shades darker I'll be when I come back to Beicheng next time.
After her makeup and styling were done, Mu Zhi changed into a formal dress and took photos for the business event.
After taking the photos, it was almost time.
The team departed from the hotel and headed to the awards ceremony.
The red carpet at the Golden Horn Awards.
When the host announced the name "Muzhi".
The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers from the fans, and the photographers in front of the red carpet perked up, craning their necks to see where Mu Zhi would appear.
Mu Zhi walked in wearing a strapless floral dress with pearl and white waves. The diamond necklace around her neck and the pearl earrings on her ears added a sense of luxury to the dress. She looked noble and holy, like a bright moon in the sky, radiating a shimmering light, as dazzling as stars and as bright as pearls.
The moment she appeared, the live chat exploded:
"What a beautiful fairy!"
"She really does glow!"
"Daughter of the Moon"
"Tonight's Red Carpet Tops"
Mu Zhi's red carpet look tonight sparked heated discussions among netizens, and the hashtag #MuZhiTheMoon'sDaughter# subsequently trended on the hot search list.
After walking the red carpet, we arrived at the inner venue.
Because the red carpet gown had too large a train, making it inconvenient to sit down, she changed into another dress that had been prepared for her inside the venue.
Wearing a gold, bodycon strapless dress with silver sequins, Mu Zhi not only showcased her curvaceous figure, but also had a shimmering effect under the lights, exuding elegance, nobility, and a powerful aura.
When Mu Zhi went on stage to accept the Golden Horn Award for "Best Newcomer," she stood on the stage, holding the golden trophy in her hand.
Netizens who followed the awards ceremony live exclaimed:
"Does Mu Zhi deserve the Best Actress award instead of the Best Newcomer award?"
Actors who win the Best Newcomer Award are usually unknown actors, as it's their first time winning a film award. Standing on the stage, they inevitably feel nervous, excited, or even at a loss, and their acceptance speeches often become stammering.
As Mu Zhi sat in the audience, she heard her name called out by the presenter. She calmly stood up from her seat, lifted her skirt, and gracefully walked onto the stage to accept the award.
After receiving the trophy from the presenter, he walked to the microphone, bowed to the audience, and delivered a humble and unpretentious acceptance speech.
The entire process was seamless, and every gesture was flawless.
Mu Zhi's temperament, demeanor, and presence were extraordinary, giving viewers who watched the live broadcast of the awards ceremony a subtle feeling that this award was just the beginning.
This young actress may, in the near future, "hope to bring more good works and good roles to the audience, and hope to contribute her own small part to the development of the film industry," as she said in her acceptance speech.
She later achieved considerable success in the film industry...
After receiving the award, the hashtag #MuzhiGoldenCornerAwardBestNewcomerAward# trended high on social media.
Most netizens offered their blessings, congratulating Mu Zhi on winning the award for her role as "Zhou Can," saying it was well-deserved.
While Mu Zhi's fans were busy reposting, liking, and commenting on topics related to their idol winning awards, they also held a giveaway in the super topic to celebrate.
"Ahhhhhh, congratulations to Zhibao on winning the award!"
"Am I proud of Pinky? Yes, I am! My daughter is amazing!"
"Your first film broke the box office record for youth films and won you the Best Newcomer Award. Mu Zhi, you're really amazing!"
"Congratulations on winning the award, little one! Keep going, Muzhi! 'Tree branches' will also grow stronger to become your strongest support. [heart]"
"Who says idols can't make it in the film industry? Mu Zhi not only entered the film industry, but she also won awards! This shows that the industry has high hopes for her. She's currently filming a movie with a big director, playing the lead role, and has already left other actresses of her generation far behind. Hehe, I'm so happy! I'm so happy! [Thumbs up] #MuZhiGoldenHornAwardBestNewcomer#"
......
When their idol wins an award, some fans inevitably become arrogant in their joy and post disparaging remarks, which are then screenshotted and reposted on forums.
After waiting all night, we finally caught Mu Zhi's "flaw".
Some netizens who dislike Mu Zhi seized on the comments made by her fans to mock her for getting arrogant after only winning a newcomer award.
They even brought up You Chan, an artist from the same company as Mu Zhi:
"You Chan won the Golden Horn Award for Best Newcomer at the age of 18, so what's so great about Mu Zhi winning it at 23?"
"I'm telling you this now, You Chan's future development will definitely be better than Mu Zhi's."
“You Chan won an award at 18 and is a freshman in the performing arts department. Her future is limitless, while Mu Zhi didn’t even go to a proper university. If I were the boss of Lanxing Media, I would definitely promote the former.”
......
Using You Chan to step on Mu Zhi, that's really something else.
Is Lanxing Media doomed to win no matter what?
After the awards ceremony.
Mu Zhi took two photos backstage and posted a Weibo on social media, thanking the Golden Horn Awards for the award and encouragement. Her words were as humble as her acceptance speech.
I don't have time to keep up with what's happening online.
After changing out of her formal attire, she put on her own clothes and went out for a celebratory dinner with her team.
The restaurant was booked a few days ago.
On the way to the hotel.
Ji Binghe said to Mu Zhi, "You are the first artist under the company to win three major film awards after signing with Lanxing Media."
"Tonight, the boss is treating us to dinner to celebrate you winning the award."
Mu Zhi: The boss is here too?
The group arrived at the restaurant and pushed open the door to the private room.
There was a person sitting inside; it was You Chan, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.
"Sister Muzhi, congratulations on winning the award!"
When You Chan saw that Mu Zhi and the others had arrived, she picked up the flowers that were on the chair next to her and handed them to Mu Zhi. It was a large bouquet of fragrant lilies.
Mu Zhi was a little surprised to see You Chan, and smiled as she accepted the flowers: "Thank you."
You Chan explained that she had just finished filming a movie a couple of days ago and had only just returned to Beicheng.
"I went to the company today."
"I heard the good news about your award. I've been struggling with choosing roles lately and would like to ask you for advice. I also brought you a celebratory cake on behalf of the boss."
She also offered an explanation for the boss, whispering to Mu Zhi and Ji Binghe, "Brother Zhiyue said he was worried that if he came, everyone would feel uncomfortable eating and drinking, so he didn't come."
Ji Binghe understood. There were several other artists ahead of Mu Zhi in line. The boss had come specially to celebrate Mu Zhi winning the newcomer award, and the other artists' teams would inevitably have some thoughts.
After everyone was seated.
Ji Binghe announced to Mu Zhi's team, "President He is treating. There's plenty of food and drink, so please order whatever you like."
Upon hearing this, the staff present applauded happily.
Another big meal is coming!
I decided not to stand on ceremony with the owner and took out my phone to scan the QR code to order one or two of my favorite main dishes.
You Chan pulled Mu Zhi aside to ask her a question.
She genuinely asked for advice when she had a question.
Because I really think Mu Zhiting is good at choosing scripts, and her taste in accepting roles is very reliable.
He revealed that he had received two scripts:
She played the lead role in one period fantasy drama and the lead role in another campus youth film.
Mu Zhi: "..." Did the script that she didn't accept end up in You Chan's hands again?
You Chan is 20 years old now, and she can act in both types of dramas.
Mu Zhi said to You Chan, "I haven't read the script, so I can't give you any effective advice."
Have you discussed this with Director Ji?
You Chan nodded: "We've discussed it. Director Ji said that these two scripts were shortlisted and are both good. She prefers to choose the movie script, and I've never acted in a period drama before, so I'd like to give it a try."
Director Ji told me to think it over carefully before making a decision.
Seeing You Chan's conflicted expression.
Mu Zhi offered some advice from someone with experience: "From my own perspective, first, look at both scripts and decide which story and character I like best. Second..."
He paused for a moment, then said seriously to You Chan, "It depends on your plans for your acting career. Do you prefer making movies or TV series? Winning the Golden Horn Award for Best Newcomer will definitely help you move towards film."
Another point that Mu Zhi can't directly say is that You Chan's appearance is quite memorable. She is pretty and comfortable, and when she is quiet, she looks like a girl next door. When she moves, she is very quirky and clever, which makes her more suitable for the big screen.
If you're going to act in a period drama, your appearance and styling might not be your biggest advantage.
You Chan nodded thoughtfully and thanked Mu Zhi.
Then he suggested taking a photo with Mu Zhi.
"Sister Muzhi, let's follow each other on Weibo!"
Mu Zhi: "Okay."
The two followed each other on Weibo.
You Chan posted a Weibo message congratulating Mu Zhi on winning the award, along with a recent photo of the two of them together.
Mu Zhi:?
You Chan laughed and said, "I saw some netizens using me as a weapon to criticize you in the trending topics about you winning the award. We are from the same company, so we should love each other and work together to build a better future for the company!"
Based on our last meeting and the question we just discussed.
You Chan was certain once again that Mu Zhi was a worthwhile friend in the industry to make.
Mu Zhi understood that You Chan's Weibo post was a way of showing that their relationship was going well and that she wouldn't accept any attempts to sow discord.
Yes, suddenly some people have started using You Chan to put them down.
It's not just about stepping on things.
If both Mu Zhi and You Chan develop their careers in film, it will be seen by outsiders as a competition for resources. If a conflict can be stirred up between the two artists, resulting in a lose-lose situation, Lanxing Media will also suffer some losses, which is a bit like killing three birds with one stone.
I just didn't expect the two artists to have such a good relationship.
It was like punching cotton.
At tonight's party.
The Muzhi team also welcomed a new assistant who had recently joined the company.
During the day, the agent brought a new assistant, whom they had hired the week before last, to meet with Mu Zhi, and she started working with the other team members.
They're hiring a male assistant; he's quite strong and grew up in Tibet.
Altitude sickness will not occur at altitudes of over 5,000 meters.
This was taken into consideration that, apart from the bodyguards, Minmin, the makeup artist, and the assistant were all girls. Ji Binghe was worried that the staff might experience altitude sickness during the later filming schedule. It was hard to say.
This arrangement was made as a precaution.
Mu Zhi knew that her agent was doing it for her own good, so she had no objections.
She didn't want to cause trouble for the rest of the crew if something went wrong with her team or if there were staff shortages, so she followed her agent's instructions.
Early the next morning.
Mu Zhi's team of six flew from Beicheng to Lhasa.
After arriving in Lhasa, we picked up our luggage that we had left there and then hurriedly took a car to the filming location where the crew was located.

Have a great weekend!
