Among the many parts of the "Shining Stars" International Film Festival, the announcement of the nominations is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated moments. When Ling Yichen and Jun Moran learned that their film, "The Legend of Stars," had stood out among many excellent films and received multiple nominations, they were filled with a great sense of honor, but also with trepidation and anticipation for the unknown results to come.
The film *Legend of the Stars* received eight nominations, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor (Ling Yichen nominated), Best Supporting Actor (Jun Mo Ran nominated), Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects. This achievement is not only a high recognition of the entire film production team but also a significant milestone in the acting careers of Ling Yichen and Jun Mo Ran. The news immediately sparked a strong reaction in the global film industry, with major media outlets reporting on it and fans engaging in heated discussions on social media.
Ling Yichen was deeply moved upon learning of his Best Actor nomination. He knew the weight of this honor and the arduous efforts he had made along the way. Recalling the filming process, whether shooting adventure scenes in the scorching desert or portraying emotional entanglements on the frigid ice plains, he always devoted himself wholeheartedly, striving to portray the character Lin Yu vividly.
At this moment, he sat in his hotel room, clutching the nomination notification tightly in his hand, his eyes revealing complex emotions: "Brother Jun, this nomination is of great significance to me. It is not only an affirmation of my acting skills, but also a recognition of my continuous self-challenge and breakthrough of cultural boundaries."
Jun Mo Ran smiled and nodded: "Yi Chen, you deserve it. Your performance was delicate and profound, and you skillfully blended the essence of Eastern culture with Western acting style, allowing the audience to see a unique and vivid character. I believe that you will shine with your own light at the awards ceremony."
Although Jun Mo Ran was only nominated for Best Supporting Actor, he was equally proud of this honor. In the film, his portrayal of Eric had many excellent scenes with Ling Yichen's Lin Yu. Through his superb acting skills, he successfully created a passionate, unrestrained, and loyal European nobleman, greatly enhancing the film. He understands that supporting actors can also play a crucial role in a film, and this nomination is the best reward for his meticulous work in character development and his positive contributions to teamwork.

While awaiting the awards ceremony, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran were not idle. They actively participated in various activities organized by the film festival, exchanging ideas and sharing creative insights and acting experiences with filmmakers from around the world. At a seminar titled "Cross-Cultural Film Creation and Performance," Ling Yichen delivered a speech as a guest speaker.

His speech was insightful, engaging, and entertaining, winning rounds of applause and high praise from the audience. Jun Moran, on the other hand, participated in a film acting workshop, engaging in performance practice and technique discussions with other outstanding actors. In the workshop, he continuously tried new acting methods and styles, further improving his acting abilities and accumulating more experience for his future acting career.
