I initially thought Yan Keyi, being young and impetuous, would say something like "I believe in myself." If she doesn't win Best Actress, and that's combined with those words, the buzz surrounding her will definitely be huge.
But ironically, there was nothing wrong with what Yan Keyi said.
Yan Keyi also sensed that the messages from these media outlets were polite yet contained hidden traps.
Fortunately, the directors and others would help them out of awkward situations, and each film crew had a limited time to stay on the red carpet, so they couldn't stay there indefinitely.
So, after the interview was almost over, Yan Keyi followed the director and the male lead into the venue.
Seeing that Yan Keyi had already gone inside, Jiang Ning and Xiang Yun entered from the other side.
The red carpet outside wasn't finished yet, and there were still many empty seats inside, but the atmosphere was already getting lively.
Before the awards ceremony began, people in the venue would go and say hello to any directors or actors they recognized.
Yan Keyi, as a favorite to win this year's award, is surrounded by many people.
Regardless of whether Yan Keyi wins the Best Actress award, her current popularity means she'll definitely want to cultivate a good relationship. Furthermore, if Yan Keyi does win the award, gaining access to her connections would be entirely beneficial for them.
After that incident, Yan Keyi maintained a rather distant and polite attitude towards others.
However, Yan Keyi has a good personality and temperament. Even as her popularity grows, she has never used her status to intimidate others.
So even though Yan Keyi has a cold expression, there are still many people who like her.
While chatting with someone, she turned around and found Jiang Ning watching her from not far away, which made Yan Keyi smile in Jiang Ning's direction.
They sat in different places, but she knew that Jiang Ning was within her sight, and this knowledge made her feel at ease.
When the time came, the opening ceremony officially began.
"Distinguished leaders, friends from the film industry, and viewers in front of the screen, good evening!"
As the lights dimmed, several hosts came out to deliver their speeches, and the opening ceremony of this year's Golden Film Awards officially began.
Following the opening remarks and performances, the awards ceremony officially began.
Since the award nominations for "The Setting Sun" haven't come up yet, Yan Keyi's emotions are relatively calm.
With each award being announced, the reveal of the Best Actress winner is just around the corner.
When the film was nominated, it was nominated for both Best Director and Best Actor, but both director Chen Wen and lead actor Huo Xiuyi missed out on the awards.
It's not that they aren't excellent, but the other production teams involved are equally excellent, making this year's competition extremely fierce.
For "The Setting Sun," winning the Best Actress award is its last hope.
If Yan Keyi fails to win the award, then "The Setting Sun" will miss out on this year's Golden Film Award.
Knowing this, Yan Keyi felt even more pressure.
"Now it's time for the Best Actress award that everyone's been waiting for! This year's winner is incredibly popular."
The host already knew who the winner was, but he kept it a secret.
The direction is already quite obvious.
However, none of the actresses among the candidates were unpopular, so Yan Keyi couldn't be absolutely certain that she would be chosen.
As the camera panned across several candidates, Yan Keyi's facial expressions remained normal, but a glimpse revealed that her hands, hidden slightly below the camera lens, were clenched tightly.
When Yan Keyi saw herself appear on the screen, she also noticed her nervousness.
"Xiao Yan is fine, don't be too nervous."
Chen Wen gently comforted Yan Keyi, hoping their film crew could win an award, but also not wanting Yan Keyi to put too much pressure on herself. "If it doesn't work this time, then next time," he said.
Yan Keyi kept telling herself not to be nervous, but she really couldn't control her emotions.
After the host went through all the nominated films in the usual way, it was finally time to reveal who this year's Best Actress winner was.
"This actress, in just a few short years in the industry, has brought a series of vivid characters to life with her talent and hard work, winning the favor of many directors who call her a gifted performer. At the same time, her beauty and talent have also won her the love of many viewers. This is her first time acting in a war film, but she has delivered a powerful performance showcasing her patriotism. How many people were moved to tears after watching this film? The Best Actress at this year's Golden Film Awards is—Yan Keyi for 'The Setting Sun'! And please welcome Qin Yiran to present the award to Yan Keyi."
After the host finished reading the award speech, the lights shone on Yan Keyi as scheduled.
When the final list of winners was announced, it turned out to be her. Yan Keyi hadn't even had time to react.
Huo Xiuyi was the first to react, and he tugged at Yan Keyi, who then slowly stood up.
The director and several actors from the same production team hugged Yan Keyi before she walked towards the awards stage.
Perhaps because she was too nervous, Yan Keyi even moved her hands and feet a little awkwardly, but in such an exciting moment, no one would laugh at her.
“When I first met Xiaoyan, she was just a little kid who hadn’t even reached adulthood yet. But even then, her talent and hard work made me feel that she was a kid who could go very far. Now I’m honored to receive an invitation from the organizers to present this award to Xiaoyan. Congratulations on winning this award, Xiaoyan.”
When Yan Keyi received the trophy from Qin Yiran, she still felt as if she had just woken up from a dream.
After thanking Qin Yiran, Yan Keyi was about to say the thank-you speech she had prepared beforehand, but suddenly her mind went blank.
Staying stuck here isn't going to work, so Yan Keyi decided to just go with the flow.
"I still feel a little unreal about receiving this award; my mind is completely blank right now."
Yan Keyi first made a self-deprecating joke.
"Yes, when we came up here, we were a bit clumsy."
Originally, Yan Keyi just wanted to make fun of herself, but after Qin Yiran teased her like that, she blushed. Was she just doing the same thing with her hands and feet?
When Yan Keyi blushed, the audience laughed. But it was all good-natured laughter.
But after this incident, Yan Keyi managed to calm herself down.
