Chapter 637: Winning the Highest Honor
Yun Xiangxiang did not have any regrets. After giving out the awards for the best film, it was time for the Best Actress award. There was no best supporting actor or actress award in this film festival.
Yun Xiangxiang’s “Jiu Se”was on the list. In fact, Yun Xiangxiang was still looking forward to it. After all, it had been four years. She needed a best actress award to prove herself. Most importantly, the White Jade Award was one of the top three film festivals in the country, but it was the highest honor.
It was equivalent to the highest award and recognition in China. Its trophy was a white jade pillar, and it was very beautiful.
The White Jade Award focused more on the ideological and artistic side of the film. Yun Xiangxiang felt that “Jiu se”had no problems in this aspect.
“I think everyone is very nervous right now. They all want to know whose name is on the list in my hands.”The award was presented by an old artist, who was in his sixties. She was also the female lead of many classic films in the last century, her smile was kind and cordial. “I am now unveiling the mysterious veil of the award-winning excellent actress, and that is… the actress who plays Jiu SE, Yun Xiangxiang!”
At that moment, Yun Xiangxiang almost burst into tears. This kind of emotion was so unexpected. However, she still walked up the stage with a smile under the applause of the crowd. The big screen on the high stage, during the time when she was on stage.., the video that was being edited for her was full of high praise for her.
After combing through her outstanding works since her debut, the final conclusion was that she deserved to be called an outstanding actress.
Yun Xiangxiang walked up to the stage and did not finish the broadcast. She finished watching the last part with everyone.
The host had already walked to her side. “Xiangxiang is only nineteen this year, right?”
“Yes.”Yun Xiangxiang nodded with a smile.
“If I remember correctly, our award is for the youngest best actress.”The host praised Yun Xiangxiang and at the same time, changed the topic to Yun Xiangxiang. “Think about what you’re feeling right now.”
In fact, there were young best actresses all over the world. There were even six-year-old best actresses in foreign countries. Other film festivals in China, such as the film festival in Shenshi, had ten-year-old best actresses. Due to the importance of the White Jade Award, Yun Xiangxiang was the youngest at twenty-two years old.
She had indeed set a new age record for the White Jade Awards. Yun Xiangxiang held the certificate and trophy, she stood in front of the microphone and said, “First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has given me this honor. Thank you.”
After a deep bow.., yun Xiangxiang stood up and said, “Every effort has its rewards. I believe that all my efforts will be rewarded. It may not be as expected, but please don’t be disappointed or discouraged. As long as you persevere, it will definitely rush into your arms. “In the future, I will continue to walk on with determination and work even harder to interpret every single work.”
Yun Xiangxiang walked down amidst the applause. Of course, the next best actor would be Lu Jin. There was no suspense.
Not only did Lu Jin get the best actor for “Ingenuity”, but the director also got the Best Director. In the end, the best film award was “Ingenuity”.
The big winner of the entire film festival was undoubtedly “Heart of craftsmanship.”The popularity of “Heart of craftsmanship”caused the entire film industry to weigh the prospects of commercial films and reshuffle the film market.
The success of the two unpopular themes, “Jiu se”and “Heart of craftsmanship”, also caused the industry to re-examine and reflect on the film.
Yun Xiangxiang hoped that there would be more and more stories that advocated traditional culture and incorporated real blood and tears.
As long as one worked hard and produced a film that touched people’s hearts, no matter what the subject matter was, there would be a certain market.
This was probably what the relevant departments of the film industry and filmmakers were looking forward to.
After the end of the film festival, as someone who had won the Best Actress award, Yun Xiangxiang could not escape an interview.
After she finished dealing with the reporters, there was naturally a business meeting. As a big shot in Guangdong province, she used her financial ability to drive the spread of culture. Tang Zhiyu, who had put in a lot of effort in this film festival, was surprisingly on the list.
This banquet was not only dazzling, but the media from all sides had gathered. There were also many entrepreneurs who supported this event. It could be said to be a rather grand banquet.
At such an occasion, Yun Xiangxiang had never expected that Tang Zhiyu would actually ask in front of so many people, “Can I have a chance to pursue Miss Yun?”
For a moment, the industry celebrities next to Tang Zhiyu, as well as those in the industry with extremely high status, were all stunned as they looked at Tang Zhiyu. The media rushed over one after another, rushing to shoot Yun Xiangxiang and Tang Zhiyu.
The smile on Yun Xiangxiang’s face did not change. “Sixth Young Master Tang, I’m still young. I don’t like people making fun of me.”
“I’m not making fun of you. I’m very serious.”Tang Zhiyu’s gaze was sincere and his expression was serious.
Yun Xiangxiang wanted to tear Tang Zhiyu apart!
Song Mian had revealed her identity in front of the public bit by bit for her. She even hid most of her identity online because she was worried that it would affect her career if they were to announce it in the future.
Even though song Mian had posted it on her wechat moments, not many people knew about it. Many entrepreneurs had suddenly paid attention to her online, and some of them were not song Mian’s good friends at all. They were probably just following the trend..
Song Mian had also warned them not to leak the news, which was why Zhao Guiquan did not believe it.
In order to protect her pride and respect her self-esteem, Song Mian had gone to great lengths to be careful.
Yun Xiangxiang did not want to see her simple and unadorned parents. In the future, because she had to endure some harsh words, she did not want to come into contact with them in the future. The ones who had worked hard in the past were all stamped with the seal that song Mian had obtained.
However, she could clearly see song Mian’s intentions. She planned to wait for Song Mian to clean up the mess. After she had truly received the approval of her parents, she would announce her relationship with them or announce the news of their marriage. It would only take two to three years.
Tang Zhiyu knew about her relationship with song Mian. Song Mian even brought her to the Tang family as a guest, hoping that master Tang would be able to restrain Tang Zhiyu.
However, Tang Zhiyu was still so unbridled. Did he really like Yun Xiangxiang to this extent?
Yun Xiangxiang felt that it was not the case. Perhaps he wanted to compete with song Mian to see who was better.
If she rejected him because she was too young, she would not be able to announce it in a year or two.
Furthermore, she could not reject him because the Tang family was too powerful. If song Mian were to be exposed in the future, she would not be able to explain herself?
Tang Zhiyu must have known about it, so he deliberately sabotaged her.
“My parents said that I can’t date during my school days. Sixth Young Master Tang’s favor is too much for me,”Yun Xiangxiang paused and said, “There’s another saying that you don’t know what’s good for you. I hope Young Master Tang Won’t take it to heart. Everyone has different criteria for choosing a spouse. A big CEO like Young Master Tang isn’t my criteria for choosing a spouse.”
