You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

Le Yan and Li Yiran had no idea what was going on outside. They clenched their hands and stared at the situation on the stage nervously.

"The Beauty Trap" was nominated for a total of seven awards including Best Director, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Actress and Best Actor, but it failed to win any awards halfway through the process and was a runner-up throughout.

“No way he didn’t even get the Best Editing Award?” Le Yan clenched his fist, his face full of disappointment.

Li Yiran patted Le Yan's hand, signaling him to quickly follow the crowd and applaud, and said softly:

"Next is the Best Supporting Actress. It's no problem, Sister Man."

The Lion City Film Festival is open to all regions and countries in the world, and the competition pressure is extremely high, so it is inevitable that mistakes will be made.

But Ge Man, a Grand Slam actress, will be entering the Best Supporting Actress race soon, so don't worry.

The Best Supporting Actress award is the most likely to be won by "Beautiful Trap".
"This is so fucking weird!" Le Yan cursed inwardly.

What does this mean?
Didn’t get it again? ?
The Best Supporting Actress award was the biggest upset of the night.

Ge Man, who was unanimously favored by everyone, unexpectedly missed the "Best Supporting Actress Award". The winner was a dark horse of the new generation.

While clapping, Bao Bin said to Peng Yiwei beside him with a forced smile:

"You're not going to shave your head, are you?"

After the Best Supporting Actress, only the Best Actor and Best Actress awards have not been announced, and the previous 6 nominations were all lost. He couldn't even imagine how his peers would evaluate them.

The biggest winner may become the biggest loser?
Peng Yiwei's expression did not change. He just cautiously asked Deng Xuefeng on the other side:
"How to do?"

Deng Xuefeng squinted his eyes and said:
"What should we do? Just ignore it! If everything fails, the biggest responsibility will be on you as the director!"

Peng Yiwei was stunned for a second and refuted speechlessly:
"Is now the time to talk about this?"

Deng Xuefeng was very angry.

If "Beautiful Trap" is a runner-up throughout the whole process, it will definitely put an inglorious end to Le Yan's trip to Lion City.

He had such a good momentum in Lion City and the process was going so smoothly. Wasn't it all in vain?
Deng Xuefeng vented all his anger on Peng Yiwei.

Such a good cast didn’t get good results, it can only be attributed to the director’s incompetence, it’s all your fault!

Peng Yiwei pointed in Le Yan's direction and ridiculed Deng Xuefeng:
"It's not over yet! You've affected Le Yan's mood by fussing and glaring. Look at the sweat all over the kid's forehead!"

Le Yan pursed his lips tightly and his forehead was covered with sweat.

The air conditioning in the venue was turned up really high, so it couldn’t possibly be hot, it was definitely tense!
And when I asked you what to do, I meant to ask you how to comfort Manman. What the hell did you say?

"I don't want to bother with you." Peng Yiwei rolled his eyes and turned his head away. He saw Le Yan looking in their direction out of the corner of his eye.

He met Le Yan's eyes and comforted him with his lips:
"take it easy."

"Don't be nervous." Le Yan's palms were full of sweat, and Li Yiran couldn't wipe them clean no matter how hard he tried.

"I'm not nervous, I'm just anxious." Le Yan's butt was half hanging in the air, and he couldn't even sit still.

Li Yiran said softly:

"You are still young, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If it doesn't work once, try it twice. If it doesn't work twice, try it three times. If this film festival is not good, we can try another one. There are plenty of opportunities there."

According to tonight's development, Le Yan is most likely gone too.

But you are only 22 years old. It is a great success to be able to enter the nomination stage of such an important film festival. You should keep a calm mind.

Tonight is the night for the dark horse.

The winner of the penultimate award, Best Actress, was another unexpected candidate.

When the award presenter read out her name, the actress burst into tears of joy. She cried for nearly a minute before she trembled and walked onto the stage. She took the trophy and started crying again after saying a few words.
Offstage, Peng Yiwei's face suddenly turned ugly.

"The reaction time is long enough." Bao Bin said jokingly.

It's almost over, and you're starting to feel bad?

We have adjusted our mindset!

Peng Yiwei grinned and muttered to himself:

"Why is this happening?"

Although Peng Yiwei did not win the Best Director Award, he thinks he knows the preferences of the Lion City Film Festival judges very well.

Tonight's upsets show that the judges' preferences have changed.
He glanced at Le Yan worriedly, wondering why it had to change this year!
"But if you ask me, this is also good news." Bao Bin crossed his arms and looked at the crying actress on the stage and said, "Maybe the jury has made some internal changes and is more inclined to dark horse actors this year. This way, Le Yan's hope is also great!"

Before the award ceremony, the media predicted that there would be other popular candidates.

If the main theme this time is a 'surprise', wouldn't LeYan's hope be greater?
The more Bao Bin analyzed Peng Yiwei, the uglier his expression became:

"But obviously his hope is the greatest."

"What?" Peng Yiwei spoke too softly for Bao Bin to hear clearly.

Peng Yiwei shook his head, frowned and said seriously:

"It doesn't matter, it's about to start."

The Best Actress winner broke down in tears with smudged panda eyeliner on her face, and sobbed as she walked off the stage. The last group of award presenters came on stage.

The series of upsets affected the atmosphere of the entire venue, and even the guests couldn't help but start talking about this topic.

"There are so many surprises tonight. Do you think the person in my hand is the one we talked about offstage, or someone else?"

"Oh, this is difficult for me. If it was an hour ago, I would have blurted out that name, but now. This is a night full of miracles."

"I think so too. Let us wish all the candidates good luck!"

The conversation between the guests on the stage gave everyone the illusion that they were optimistic about the same actor. The actor favored by the media was surrounded by warm applause, as if the guests on the stage were talking about him?
But the applause only existed in that area, and the audience in other places looked in the opposite direction with complicated expressions.

The guests sitting here are all leaders in the international film industry. They are looking in other directions. Could it be that there is a difference between the estimates of professionals and the media?
Bao Bin saw that the gaze was directed in their direction, and asked Peng Yiwei stutteringly:
"What's going on? Why are they looking at us?"

"Who is looking at you? People are looking at Le Yan!" Peng Yiwei said unhappily.

"Ah? Ah?" Bao Bin was speechless for a moment.

Before Bao Bin could figure it out, Deng Xuefeng gritted his teeth and said:

"You packaged LeYan according to the judges' preferences, but they changed their preferences this year. Do you think you are smart? It's useless. You are just shooting yourself in the foot!"

As Peng Yiwei's confidant, Deng Xuefeng had long guessed what Peng Yiwei meant when he promised to "tailor-make a script for Le Yan".

If you don't try to be clever, you'll still have a chance of winning today.

But today is the night for the dark horse!
Peng Yiwei glared at Deng Xuefeng fiercely:
"With so many people watching you, you better control your expression. The results will be announced soon!" After the guest read out the list of nominees, real-time images of the candidates appeared on the big screen.

Although Le Yan was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, he still remembered to leave a place for Li Yiran so that she could also be in the painting.

Li Yiran saw through his little thoughts, quietly moved away, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"This is your moment, stop making trouble."

Le Yan has been trying to find shots for Li Yiran tonight, and Li Yiran has already gained a lot.

But now you are the protagonist, so hurry up and sit down!
At the same time, the guests on the stage also tore open the envelope.

One of the guests held his head with his hands and laughed at a certain position in the audience, while another person covered his mouth and screamed:
"Oh my god, oh my god! The familiar Lion City is back. The winner of the 83rd Best Actor Award is——"

"Let's congratulate the perverted doctor Yan Le who gave me nightmares for two nights!"

Deng Xuefeng clenched his fists and raised his arms, wanting to hug Le Yan, but when he turned around, he found that Le Yan had already rushed onto the stage.

No, no, why are you in such a hurry?

The previous Best Actress winner was so slow that everyone thought Le Yan would also take a while before going on stage. However, after hearing her own name, Le Yan simply kissed Li Yiran beside her and then quickly went on stage.

"You are the calmest actor I have ever seen! Yan, aren't you nervous at all?" The guest handed the trophy and flowers to Le Yan, motioning him to go to the microphone and speak.

Le Yan stood in front of the microphone, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took a long breath:
"I was so scared. I thought I couldn't come up today."

The audience was amused by him.

What a cute boy! He’s not excited, nor happy, and seems just a little scared?
What the hell, scared?
Why do I have this strange illusion?

Le Yan used fluent English to thank the seniors who were sitting in the audience but whom he did not have the chance to hug.

“Thank you Director Peng for your appreciation. Every time I work with you, I will make great progress. I hope to continue working with you.”

Peng Yiwei finally smiled.

He said, how could something customized be failed?
I am indeed the best!

He shouted obscenely to the stage:
"You're too expensive now. I can't afford you!"

This trip to Singapore is a gilded journey for Le Yan.

Peng Yiwei asked Ni Zhen and Le Yan how much they were paid for their latest movie, and the number almost scared him to death.

Robbery?
Without the financial support of a superstar, he wouldn’t be able to afford it!

"Discount, definitely a discount, friendly price!" Le Yan replied with a smile.

After thanking Peng Yiwei, Le Yan also thanked Ge Man and Deng Xuefeng.

When he won the Best Newcomer Award two years ago, he had expressed his deep love to Deng Xuefeng. This time, he will not take up time to thank him separately, but will say it together.

"Teacher Deng and Sister Man are my guiding lights on the road of acting. Your selfless dedication to newcomers, your wholehearted devotion, and your commitment to the future of film have benefited me for life. I will follow your path for the rest of my life."

Ge Man placed his right hand on his heart and nodded with satisfaction.

Deng Xuefeng was so cocky that his back teeth were clearly visible when he laughed.

Afterwards, Le Yan thanked his alma mater Beijing Film Academy for its cultivation as usual, and also thanked his fans and work team. He even did not forget to help the superstar advertise internationally. He joked that if any artist wanted to open up the Chinese market, they could find him when they come down.

"The character I played this time was very subversive. I was very worried before joining the crew and kept asking myself, "Can I do it?" At this time, I happened to see an interview with Mr. Louis."

Louis in the audience was almost crying with excitement.

Oh my god, my name is on Yan’s thank you list?

You know, Louis is busy running around to organize the film festival every year, but no winner has ever thanked him by name.
"My friend, thank you for all your ancestors!" Louis thought of the Xinhua proverb he learned on the Internet last night.

"Mr. Louis told an actor not to be afraid of making mistakes, but never do boring things." Le Yan looked at a certain spot in the audience with a complicated expression, and said excitedly, "I think doing the most important thing in life on such an important day must be the least boring thing."

Li Yiran's heart skipped a beat.

Two years ago, when Le Yan won an award in Singapore, he wanted to confess his love to her. In order to persuade him not to do anything stupid, Li Yiran said that the Best Newcomer Award was not enough, and that he could talk about it after he won the Best Actor Award.

Today, Le Yan really won the Best Actor award.

Does he still remember what he said that day?

"I was born in an ordinary family. My parents left early and I didn't have many friends around me. I was like a lone boat drifting in society. I had never seen the sun before I was 19." Le Yan looked at Li Yiran and said in a deep voice, "After I turned 19, my world suddenly became bright. It all started when I met a person. That person is my sun."

"I can't pick the stars and take them home, but I really want to keep the sun by my side forever," Le Yan suddenly ran to the stage.

All the audiences were stunned. Le Yan's words were clear. He didn't mean to...
"Oh my god! This is absolutely the craziest movie awards ceremony I've ever attended!"

"He is so cool, so manly, and so charming!"

“Crazy, but love watching!!”

Le Yan approached Li Yiran little by little, stopped two meters away from her, and took out the diamond ring they had chosen together from his pocket.

Li Yiran's tears had already burst out, and Le Yan's condition was not much better. He had prepared a lot of words, but he was too excited to say a word.

With the reminder and help of the experienced men around him, Le Yan knelt on one knee and asked tremblingly:
"Will you marry me?"

Although we have agreed to spend our lives together, I still owe you a formal proposal ceremony.

Choose this occasion. Is it formal enough?

"Marry him! Marry him! Marry him now!!" The venue was drowned out by shouts.

We all speak different languages, but the meaning is the same.

A happy and beautiful woman should marry a brave and handsome man, so agree quickly!

"I do" and Li Yiran's arms came to Le Yan at the same time.

Le Yan hugged Li Yiran and said gently:

"Tonight is your night, and you are the real protagonist."

Is the Best Actor award important?
Important, of course it is important!
But compared with the Best Actor and Li Yiran, it’s nothing.

Just like no matter what is placed in front of Li Yiran, she will choose Le Yan without hesitation.

Le Yan also made herself a part of Li Yiran's career without hesitation.

"Our marriage will only make you better and happier in every way. I will never let you sacrifice anything." This is what Le Yan has been saying to herself every day for the past few months. (End of this chapter)
