Chapter 663 The winner of the Best Newcomer award is...
The award ceremony started on time at 8 o'clock in the evening. Song Yoon-ah and Heo Jun-hwan, who were not shortlisted, were both presenters tonight.
Among them, Song Yoon-ah was the presenter of the "Best Supporting Actress" award.
"Ali, I'll open the envelope later. If it's your name, I'll nod twice to give you a hint."
"Okay, I hope to get Sister Yoona's luck."
Because Gao Fei had won it once, she had a more relaxed attitude this time. Although she also hoped to get a second seal, she could accept it if it wasn't for her.
Soon, the awards ceremony progressed to the announcement of the first major award of the night, the "Best Newcomer Award".
The award-giving guests are two highly respected actors, and the best newcomer award has always been announced by an old actor, which indicates the inheritance and support between the old and new actors and has a good meaning.
The two chatted for a while on the stage, but Chen Li didn't hear anything they said because she could only hear her own heartbeat.
The closer it got, the more nervous she became, and the more nervous she became, the more it proved her desire for the trophy.
Yes, she wanted it!
Everyone in front of the TV was equally nervous. Shen Yingying said anxiously, "Oh, this age is just nagging, hurry up and reveal it!"
Shen Jingjing stared at the TV without blinking, biting her lips unconsciously.
The same was true for everyone else, only Shen Ci remained calm. She certainly hoped that her sister could win the award. It was far from enough for her tonight's outfit to just shine on the red carpet. She had to stand on the podium to be crowned in order to reflect her greatest value.
Finally, the presenter spoke into the microphone: "The 37th Golden Magpie Awards for Best Newcomer, the nominees are: please look at the big screen..."
The camera switched to a large screen, where highlight clips of the nominated actors' performances were played one by one. When the pleasant voice of the announcer read out, "'Destiny is the Phoenix' Hua Xixi, Chen Li," the audience erupted in applause. The scene showed Hua Xixi riding her horse into the imperial city, willingly risking her life for her sister. Her resolute back and steadfast eyes vividly portrayed the character's unwavering determination at that moment. This scene has become a highlight clip of Hua Xixi online, with over 100 million views!
After all the nominees' clips were played, the presenters looked at each other. One of them opened the envelope and saw the name inside. Drum beats to set the mood were heard at the scene. Chen Li's heartbeat followed the beats of the drums, and the tension reached her head.
"37th Golden Magpie Awards, Best Newcomer Award..."
"The winner is..."
"Shen Li!"
As soon as the words fell, Chen Li's heart also settled down, and a sense of relief and joy surged into her heart.
"Ali, Ali!"
Song Anyu on the side was even more excited than Shen Li, and clapped his hands excitedly. The camera focused on Shen Li. She was really beautiful today. She stood up with tears in her eyes, hugged the crew members beside her one by one, and then slowly walked towards the stage.
The Shen family in front of the screen was in a mess. The whole family was shouting and laughing, jumping and dancing. Shen Jingjing and Shen Yingying were crying with joy and were happy for A Li.
Sister Kuan, who was off the stage, had been following the award news. As soon as Chen Li was announced as the winner, she immediately notified the company to start online publicity and spent a lot of money to make the hot search entry the top.
Even the dormitory building of Longcheng Film Academy was filled with deafening cheers at the same time, and students from the entire academy were paying attention to the award ceremony.
The spotlight was on, and Chen Li walked onto the stage in a gorgeous dress. The gems on her body were dazzling, but they could not hide her spirited attitude.
I took the trophy from the presenter's hand. It was a golden cylinder with a magpie on top. It felt cool and heavy.
There was also a red certificate, which Chen Li held tightly against her chest, and finally stood in front of the microphone.
At this moment, she was no longer nervous.
"Hello everyone, I'm the new actress, Shen Li!"
Warm applause broke out at the scene. Chen Li looked down from the stage. The faces of the people whom she had only seen on TV before were now staring at her from the audience. This moment made her feel a little dazed.
"First of all, I want to thank Ms. Sui Lai for designing such a beautiful dress for me. I lived up to her hard work and design and walked onto the podium wearing it."
Chen Li was very smart. She was the first to thank Sui Lai during the interview on the red carpet, and the first person she thanked when receiving the award was still Sui Lai.
Sui Lai was watching the award ceremony in the hotel at this time. When she heard Chen Li's words of thanks to her for the second time, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.
She likes this little girl.
"I'd like to thank the entire crew of 'The Phoenix', Director Ke for his coaching and guidance, and my agency, Jinxiao Entertainment, especially my agent, Sister Kuan, and my assistant, Xiaoyun Apan. Oh, and my co-star, Song Anyu. I feel like our roles complemented each other. Thank you."
Song Anyu, who was in the audience, looked at Chen Li shining on the stage and was sincerely happy for her. When he heard that she even thanked him specially, Song Anyu stood up and gave her a thumbs up from a distance.
Chen Li smiled and continued, "I would also like to thank the organizing committee and judges of the Golden Magpie Award. Thank you for your recognition, which is very important to me."
"Finally, I want to thank my family, my beloved mother, sister, and brother. This is the first honor I have received in my one year in the industry, and I share it with you!"
"Thank you to all my fans who like and support me. I will continue to work hard in the future!"
After saying that, Chen Li took a step back to the side and bowed deeply to the audience and the camera.
She didn't cry, but kept smiling, like a blue rose blooming in the starlight!
Backstage, as soon as Chen Li came down, Sister Kuan came forward and gave her a big hug: "Well done, A Li, I knew you could do it!"
"Thank you, Sister Kuan!"
Sister Kuan touched her face and said with a look of satisfaction, "The Newcomer Award only comes once in a lifetime, and you've got it! For the Supporting Actress award, we should stay calm, there will be opportunities in the future!"
There is only one chance to win the Best Newcomer award in each major award. If you don’t win it in your first drama or first movie, you will not be nominated again. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, this award is very important and everyone is extremely eager for it.
Chen Li knew this truth. Compared to the Best Supporting Actress award, she was indeed more eager for the Best Newcomer award.
When I looked up, Xiaoyun was crying like a child!
After adjusting herself backstage, Chen Li returned to the venue and took her seat. Everyone who passed by would smile and say "congratulations" to her.
As I returned to my seat and sat down, it was announced that "The Destiny of Phoenix" won the "Best Art Award". Chen Li had made a good start, and "The Destiny of Phoenix" followed suit and won another victory!
Related hot searches quickly became popular on the entire Internet. At the same time, "MIUMIU", a high-end brand under "Prada", immediately announced that Chen Li became the new "brand ambassador" of "MIUMIU" in 2026!
Happy National Day, babies. Ali celebrates with you!
Please give me a monthly ticket, love you!
