Chapter 413: Two Best Actor
There was thunderous applause at the Starlight Awards venue.
Su An looked at Lin Jianyue on the stage and burst into tears.
The female host's gaze lingered on the two of them for a few seconds, and a hint of smile flashed in her beautiful eyes.
The last award today is the Starlight Award for Best Actor.
The picture on the screen changed again.
——"When the old enemy becomes a mirror image, who is the real winner?"
The stage lights split into black and white, and the big screen showed confronting silhouettes.
The hostess smiled and said, "Next, it's time to witness the pinnacle of acting—the 'Starlight Award for Best Actor'!"
The male host continued what the female host said, "This year's competition can be called a 'Clash of the Titans.' The five actors interpreted what true performing arts is in completely different ways."
As soon as he finished speaking, the screen changed again.

The image on the screen finished playing and the scene became quiet.
The female host said in a gentle voice, "Next, it's the most historic moment of the night: the 'Starlight Award for Best Actor' awards ceremony."
The male host said in a deep voice, "But this year, the jury faces an unprecedented dilemma - when two souls complement each other, when two performances are mutually causal, how should we choose?"
The camera scanned the nomination booth.
Wen Yu and Song Shinian sat together, both looking up at the big screen with serious expressions.
The big screen began to play the highlight clips of "Twins".
The pictures flash alternately——
The policeman played by Wen Yu raised his gun in the rain, his eyes changed from firm to wavering, and the muzzle of the gun trembled slightly.
The gangster played by Song Shinian looked back in the flames of the explosion, smiling wildly but with sadness in his eyes.
At this point in the Starlight Awards, everyone already knows which work is the winning work today.
The female host said excitedly: "Wen Yu and Song Shinian, one of them uses restraint to interpret madness, and the other uses publicity to hide brokenness."
The male host smiled and continued, "They turned the fateful showdown in a police film into a duet about the soul."
The whole place was silent, with only the faint sound of the film turning.
The female host held up the two envelopes in her hands and said, "In the 22-year history of the Starlight Awards, there has never been such a decision."
The male host tore open the envelope and chuckled, "But rules are meant to be broken. The winner of this year's Starlight Award for Best Actor is—"
The big screen suddenly split, freezing a close-up of both people at the same time.
They both said in unison: "Twins, Song Shinian and Wen Yu."
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Wen Yu and Song Shinian stood there in a daze.
Before attending the Starlight Awards ceremony, they had already prepared for one person to win and one to lose, but they didn't expect that there would be two Best Actor winners.
This has never happened in the history of the Stellar Awards.
The hostess read out the judges' comments: "They are not rivals, but reflections of each other - without either, the work "Twins" would lose its soul."
Both Wen Yu and Song Shinian's performances were wonderful.
The jury hesitated for a long time and didn't know who to choose, so they finally decided to give the Best Actor award to both of them.
Today is destined to be an extraordinary day.
For the first time, there were two Best Actor winners at the Starlight Awards ceremony.
There was thunderous applause at the Starlight Awards venue.
Wen Yu and Song Shinian walked up to the podium hand in hand.
As a talented star who became famous at a young age, Wen Yu is no stranger to the "Starlight Awards". He has stood on the podium of the Starlight Awards countless times, but he has never been as excited as he is now.
Because the person standing next to him this time was Song Shinian.
"Congratulations, both of you..."
The two hosts handed the microphone to Wen Yu and Song Shinian respectively, and then left the stage to Wen Yu and Song Shinian.
The focus of everyone's attention.
Wen Yu took the microphone and curled the corners of her lips: "Hello everyone, I'm Wen Yu. It's an honor to stand on the podium with Teacher Song."
The Starlight Awards is a relatively formal occasion, so Wen Yu promptly changed the name "Xiao Nian'er" to "Teacher Song".
"Hello everyone."
Upon hearing this, Song Shinian also curved his eyebrows.
The next step was for them to give their acceptance speeches.
Wen Yu politely bowed to the audience and said, "Thank you to the Starlight Awards for breaking the rules that have existed for us for so many years. This award doesn't belong to Wen Yu, but to the police officer who committed countless crimes in the abyss. He taught me that if you turn your heart to the light, you will be fearless."
The policeman here refers to naturally "Li Zheng".
Because Li Zheng has light in his heart, he can succeed again and again.
"This award also belongs to Lin Sheng..."
Song Shinian continued Wen Yu's words, "He has been lurking inside the criminal group as an 'undercover' since he was young. Everyone knows him as Lu Yu, the second-in-command of the criminal group, but today I want to call him by his real name - Lin Sheng."
"Twins" has always been a regret in Song Shinian's heart.
Now that I have brought "Lin Sheng" to the Starlight Awards ceremony, the last trace of regret in my heart has disappeared.
"at last……"
Wen Yu's eyes fell on Song Shinian's handsome features, and she said with a smile, "I want to thank Teacher Song. Without Teacher Song, there would be no Twins today."
If Song Shinian had not bought the copyright of "Twins", they would not have had the opportunity to film "Twins".
"You're welcome."
Song Shinian curved his eyebrows.
The lights in the venue fell on the two of them, as if they were coated with a layer of hazy golden light.
Thunderous applause once again erupted at the Starlight Awards venue.
The "Double Best Actor" award is a historic breakthrough for the Starlight Awards, so the applause this time was more intense than ever.
Amidst everyone's blessings, Wen Yu and Song Shinian returned to their original seats with a smile.
At this moment, the stage dome slowly opened, the real starry sky poured down, and all the trophies floated up.
The hostess said softly, "When the last trophy finds its owner, the night seems to be coming to an end—"
The male host said solemnly: "But true starlight never shines on trophies."
"It's hidden in the police badges of Wen Yu and Song Shinian, in the deep traces of Lin Jianyue's lingering tears, and in the youthful ignorance of Li Qingyang..."
The male and female hosts said in unison: "Thank you to every guest who attended today. The 22nd Stellar Awards Ceremony has officially concluded."
