After successfully defusing a scandalous crisis in the entertainment industry, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan ushered in a grand event in the ancient entertainment circle—the annual Golden Orchid Awards ceremony. This award is highly authoritative and influential in the ancient entertainment circle, and is a high recognition of actors' hard work and outstanding acting skills throughout the year. Many stars and actors consider it an honor to win an award at this ceremony.
On the day of the awards ceremony, a red carpet was laid out outside the Beijing Grand Theatre, with dazzling lights on both sides and a bustling crowd. Celebrities, dignitaries, and enthusiastic fans gathered, eagerly awaiting the appearance of the stars. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran arrived slowly in the same magnificent carriage. As soon as the carriage stopped, deafening cheers and screams erupted from the crowd.
The two, dressed in contrasting yet harmonious attire, walked hand in hand down the red carpet. Ling Yichen wore a deep purple robe embroidered with gold, the exquisite cloud patterns embroidered in gold thread shimmering under the lights. A black belt inlaid with jade cinched his waist, further emphasizing his tall and upright figure. His hair was neatly tied up, topped with an exquisite jade crown, and his sharp eyebrows and bright eyes exuded a heroic and confident air. Jun Moran wore a white brocade robe, with elegant blue bamboo leaf patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs, as if he were wearing the tranquility and purity of a bamboo forest. He held a folding fan with a landscape ink painting on its surface, which swayed gently with his steps, displaying a refined and scholarly demeanor.
They walked slowly down the red carpet, waving to the audience on both sides from time to time, their faces beaming with humble and charming smiles. Fans on both sides chanted their names, waving various support items, including scrolls depicting their images, silk scrolls filled with blessings, and carefully crafted tokens symbolizing their pairing. Seeing this, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were filled with emotion and gratitude, knowing that their achievements were inseparable from the support and love of their fans.
Upon entering the theater, they found it lavishly decorated, with a giant model of the Golden Orchid Award trophy on the stage gleaming under the lights. They found their seats and sat down, surrounded by well-known figures from the entertainment industry. They exchanged greetings and pleasantries, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
The awards ceremony officially began. The host, dressed in a glamorous outfit and beaming with joy, walked onto the stage. After a captivating opening speech, the exciting awards ceremony commenced. The first award presented was for Best Supporting Actor. All the nominated actors were exceptionally talented, delivering outstanding performances in their respective works. When the host announced the winner, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause. The winner, visibly moved, walked onto the stage and delivered a deeply touching acceptance speech, thanking the director, crew, and family for their support and assistance.
As the awards were presented one by one, the atmosphere grew increasingly tense. Finally, the most anticipated award, Best Actor, was up for consideration. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were both nominated for this award for their outstanding performances in "Dawn of the Mountains and Rivers." Their opponents were all top actors in the entertainment industry, and their strength should not be underestimated.
The host, holding an envelope containing the list of winners, deliberately kept them in suspense for a moment, making a few teasing remarks before slowly opening the envelope. "The winners of this year's Golden Orchid Award for Best Actor are—Ling Yichen and Jun Moran!" the host announced loudly.
The entire theater erupted in cheers and applause, a thunderous roar echoing throughout the space. Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were initially taken aback, then exchanged a smile. They stood up and embraced tightly, their eyes glistening with tears of excitement and joy. This was an unprecedented honor; the two of them sharing the Best Actor award was not only a testament to their individual acting skills but also a recognition of their seamless teamwork and deep friendship.
Hand in hand, they walked onto the stage and received the weighty Golden Orchid Award trophy from the presenter. Ling Yichen took a deep breath and picked up the microphone first, saying, "This honor means a lot to me. I want to thank the entire crew of 'Dawn of Mountains and Rivers.' It is your hard work and professionalism that made this drama a perfect success. I also want to thank my co-star Jun Moran. During filming, we learned from each other, encouraged each other, and grew together. I also want to thank our fans who have always supported us. It is your love and companionship that gives us the motivation to keep moving forward."
Jun Mo Ran continued, "I am honored to stand here with Yi Chen to receive this honor. In the ancient entertainment industry, we have met many like-minded friends and experienced many challenges and difficulties. But it is these experiences that have made us more mature and stronger. We will turn this honor into motivation to move forward, continue to work hard, and bring more excellent works to everyone."
Their acceptance speeches were sincere and moving, winning rounds of applause and cheers from the audience. Later in the awards ceremony, "Dawn of the Mountains and Rivers" also won the Best Television Series award, undoubtedly the greatest accolade for the entire production team.
After the awards ceremony, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran attended a celebratory banquet hosted by the organizers. At the banquet, people from all walks of life came to offer their congratulations, making them the center of attention. However, amidst the laughter and merriment, Ling Yichen couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He recalled his experience of transmigrating to this ancient world, and his struggles in the modern entertainment industry, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Jun Mo Ran seemed to notice Ling Yi Chen's unusual behavior. He gently patted Ling Yi Chen's shoulder and asked, "Yi Chen, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Ling Yichen snapped out of his reverie, shook his head, and said, "Brother Jun, I'm fine. I was just thinking about some past events and feeling a bit sentimental. It's truly hard-won that we can stand here today and receive such an honor."
Jun Mo Ran nodded and said, "Yes, we've been through so much along the way. But as long as we stay true to our original aspirations and persevere in our dreams, the future will definitely be brighter."
At the celebration banquet, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran exchanged acting experiences and shared their creative inspirations with the other actors. They knew that in the fiercely competitive world of ancient entertainment, only by constantly learning and improving could they maintain their leading position.
As night deepened, Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran bid farewell to everyone and returned to the opera troupe in a carriage. The carriage moved slowly along the quiet streets, moonlight bathing them. Ling Yichen gazed at the night view outside the window, silently vowing that no matter what challenges and difficulties the future held, he would remain with Jun Mo Ran, continuing to write their legendary story in this ancient world, ensuring their names would forever shine in the starry sky of the ancient entertainment industry. Jun Mo Ran sat quietly beside him, his eyes equally filled with determination and resolve, as if echoing Ling Yichen's vow.
