Chapter 132 It's You!!
Now it’s the fans’ turn to be stunned!
No way, when you said “see you next year”, did you mean this?
Without making any noise, he managed to pull off such a big deal...? Oh well! Never mind, that's definitely Shu Ming's style.
But before one wave of troubles subsides, another wave of trouble arises.
Shu Ming had just officially announced his concert when he participated in the Lingyun Award, the highest government award for TV dramas.
Yes, "Far Away" was nominated for the Best Actor in the Lingyun Award!
This is not a high branch that can be climbed by some pheasant awards like golden osmanthus and silver osmanthus.
Come on, this is the only award given by the government!
The life circle shook again.
**
The reason for the nomination is very simple.
First, this is a drama jointly produced by mainland China and Hong Kong, which has extraordinary significance.
Second, this is the winning work of the "Five One Project Award". It not only describes the changes on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, but also the protagonist has positive significance - Huo Jingtian eventually donated all his wealth to City S to support the development of the mainland.
This is also the final choice of the Cheng family, to which the author belongs.
Third, Shu Ming himself donated almost half of his fortune to help repair infrastructure in his hometown, and his accumulated reputation was recognized by the government.
This is the result we finally got.
The Lingyun Awards, held every three years, has almost never nominated such a young "Best Actor".
After this year's birthday, Shu Ming is only twenty-two years old!
"It's a bit uncertain..."
Shu Ming adjusted his collar in front of the mirror and asked, "Is this okay?"
Guan Xianyi nodded.
She didn't need to give too many instructions, as Shu Ming was now in a very stable state of mind.
As for the Lingyun Award... not getting it is the norm, and getting it successfully is a surprise.
They didn't prepare anything too formal, just a brand-sponsored suit, trying not to steal the limelight from the award winners.
Shu Ming sighed softly; he was a little tired.
I haven't slept well these past few days, and my mind is full of concert rehearsals. I'm about to hold my first concert, and it would be a lie to say I'm not excited.
But he hadn't been on stage for a long time, and he was a little nervous.
So on the day of the award ceremony, this guy didn't even walk the red carpet of the "Lingyun Award", but went straight to the backstage in the elevator!
When director Chen Mi saw him backstage, he was shocked!
"Why didn't you walk the red carpet?"
Shu Ming took the small cup of warm tea handed to him by the other party, tilted his head back and drank it all, revealing the neat and beautiful lines of his neck.
He had just come from a concert rehearsal and was a little out of breath. He took a few seconds to catch his breath before smiling and responding, "I'm really tired and not in good shape."
After hearing his reply, the people next to him couldn't help but look at him several times.
This handsome figure, this glowing face, this waist and legs...what's wrong with him?
Okay, whatever you say goes.
The other actors in the crew also felt sorry for him. Sun Yi quietly handed him a biscuit, and Shu Ming took advantage of the cover of the front seat to take a small bite.
He was really hungry.
The physical demands of a concert are beyond the ability of ordinary people to handle. If Shu Ming did not have sufficient muscle reserves, he would probably not be able to cope with it.
He came in a hurry today and completely forgot to get a bite in the car.
Bi Fangchen was also nominated this year. When he passed by the crew of "Far Away", he smiled and joked: "Oh, eat slowly, or you'll choke later."
Sun Yi pushed him and said, "If you don't know how to speak, you don't have to!"
Qiao Minxue came around from the front row for him and whispered, "You still have to sit in the front row later. A bunch of people are asking where Shu Ming is."
Shu Ming nodded quickly.
So at the call of the seniors, the boy struggled to get to the first row.
He sat in the middle and had to pass a long row of seats.
As Shu Ming walked, he received all kinds of jokes and greetings.
He was already very adept at this kind of situation, not to mention that it was filled with familiar faces, some of whom he had worked with, some of whom he had met at drinking parties, and some of whom he had just met. Everyone was willing to look after him, so life was quite easy.
Shu Ming was in a very relaxed state. He really didn't take the award too seriously.
After he walked to the seat next to Qiao Minxue and sat down, the two of them had some leisure to chat for a while, whispering about who might win the award this year.
"I think Tian Yuguo has a good chance this year. Second Feng Lingyun, that's a good title!"
Qiao Minxue was nominated for Best Supporting Actor this year. He doesn't lack this award, nor does he care too much about it.
Shu Ming chicks peck at rice.
"Maybe Liu He could be a candidate, too. He's been trying for it twice and hasn't been selected. But I saw the TV series he was nominated for..."
Not very good.
Qiao Minxue didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Shu Ming continued to peck at the rice like a chicken.
"You..." Qiao Minxue was speechless and pushed the boy's shoulder.
Shu Ming leaned back in his chair and smiled softly. He wasn't annoyed anyway. He crossed his long legs and looked very calm.
Sitting on Shu Ming's left was Qiao Minxue, and on his right sat another respected veteran actor.
The other party wanted to join in the fun, so he leaned over and followed Qiao Minxue to tease him. The three of them gathered together, talking and laughing, and it was so harmonious!
Shu Ming can handle it just fine if he just stays true to himself.
Different from the makeshift team that won the Golden Osmanthus Award.
The Lingyun Award is an official government award after all, and private photography is not allowed to enter, so Zhuang Zheng was unfortunately stopped outside.
There's nothing we can do but watch the live broadcast.
The seats gradually filled up.
The entire auditorium was solemn as if a meeting was about to begin in the next second. Everyone gradually fell silent, and TV hosts from various regions entered one after another and stood on the red carpet.
Dozens of hosts lined up in a row, it was a spectacular sight.
It's really spectacular.
From childhood to adulthood, Shu Ming has never seen so many hosts in one breath!
Government award.
Shu Ming slowly pondered these words and couldn't help but sigh - when will he be able to get it?
Thirty? Forty?
That should be about right.
Shu Ming didn't get distracted this time. He was free here anyway, so he listened to the whole thing very carefully.
Very solemn, a completely different style from Jingui.
It's like a party meeting in school.
But there are undercurrents underneath. After all, it is a grand award ceremony held every three years, and the competition is actually very fierce.
He watched the whole process as if it had nothing to do with him. He saw Sun Yi regretfully miss out on the Best Supporting Actor award, and saw "Far Away" lose the Best Screenplay award... The award ceremony was half over, and none of the "Far Away" cast won anything!
Shu Ming attended too few award ceremonies. He was still young and had not yet realized the tricks involved. He just followed the group and either applauded or listened attentively.
But Qiao Minxue, who was beside him, had unconsciously sat up straight.
Is he overthinking it?
Is he... wrong?
The grand prize is naturally the best actor and actress.
As usual, the actresses come first.
This year's Lingyun Award for Best Actress went to Li Yuan's rival, sparking a furor online. But as far as Shu Ming knows, the two actresses seem to have a good relationship privately.
It has always been like this, online is online, and offline is offline.
Although public opinion is incompatible, it does not affect their close personal relationship.
As expected, even though there were three other actors between them, the two ladies came “from afar” and stood up to hug each other without any hesitation.
Li Yuan had a smile on his face that showed he was truly happy for the other person. This kind of true love could not be hidden and would be clearly revealed under the camera.
Then, the winner walked up to the podium.
Film Queen Lai is so elegant!
Shu Ming had a smile on his lips. He leaned sideways with his legs together, looking at the podium. The decorations on the podium were reflected in his eyes, turning into bright starlight.
Qiao Minxue still looked elegant, but he was already a little nervous!
He has won awards of all sizes, but he no longer has the same passion for awards as he did in the past.
But now that there's a kid who's taken over his acting mantle, he's rekindled his youthful energy.
Qiao Minxue didn't dare to say it, for fear that Shu Ming would be disappointed - would the loss of the Golden Osmanthus Award be repeated?
He didn't dare to think whether he had guessed wrong - with the status and achievements of "Far Away", he should never return empty-handed.
He was probably not the only one who guessed this, as Sun Yi and the others had been looking over here frequently.
I'm afraid everyone here has this guess.
However, the "Lingyun Award" has always been like this. It will never be revealed until the last moment, and it is even more difficult to use connections to get information.
This is the most credible government award!
They can only guess.
All we can do is wait.
When the host stood on the podium and said the words that all the actors were familiar with, even knew by heart:
"The Lingyun Award we will present next is a government award representing the highest achievement in Chinese television dramas."
An award that every actor dreams of.
An award that represents the highest recognition.
"The winner of the 31st Lingyun Award for Best Actor is—"
Liu He? Tian Yuguo?
Shu Ming pondered for a moment and still felt that the veteran Tian Yuguo had a higher chance of winning, as Liu He was not a strong enough fighter this year.
Apart from him, the remaining two nominees are relatively young, with mediocre performance. They have almost no chance of winning the award, and they are well aware of the fact that they are just runners-up.
The camera scanned the faces of each candidate one by one.
Shu Ming sat there calmly, his forearm slightly raised, ready to applaud the winner.
"The winner of the 31st Lingyun Award for Best Actor is..."
The two award presenters looked at the prompter at the same time and slowly read out the name of the final winner.
——"Far Away", Shu Ming."
"congratulations!"
Shu Ming's half-raised arm froze.
My mind went blank.
All the sounds faded away. His surprise was so obvious that Qiao Minxue had obviously anticipated it and reacted much faster than him. He quickly patted him on the back, "Xiao Shu, it's you! It's you! Go up and claim your award!"
Is it me?
Shu Ming appeared to be calm on the surface, but the only sound in his chest was the pounding of his own heart.
Is it me?
Someone nearby reached out a hand, held his arm tightly, and helped him stand up.
"Shu Ming, congratulations!"
