Huayu is free to do as you like

The two of them walked to the front row seats of the [Nirvana in Fire] crew and found a seat to sit down.

"Gu Wei?"

Hearing someone calling his name from behind, Gu Wei turned around and looked.

Zhao Liying was wearing a light lotus-colored long skirt and was sitting diagonally behind her.

"Liying~"

Gu Wei stretched out his hand to say hello, and the two of them smiled and nodded without talking much.

Zhao Liying was sitting with the crew of "Flower Thousand Bones".

Next to her is Huo Jianhua, who has just announced something good.

Zhao Liying and Huo Jianhua were nominated for Best Actor and Actor respectively for their performances in "A Thousand Bones of Flowers".

But they both know that "Flower Thousand Bones" is a pure ancient puppet show. Although it is very popular, the chance of winning an award for the characters in it is too small.

Tang Yan, who was sitting next to Gu Wei, saw him greeting Zhao Liying and glanced in that direction, then whispered in his ear:

"You said that netizens said that Huo Jianhua and Lin Xinru got together because they were pregnant. Is it true?"

Gu Wei gave her a strange look.

"You have worked with him on TV series before, so you should be familiar with him, right?"

"It was fine during the filming, but we didn't keep in touch much after it ended. I was surprised when the news about him and Lin Xinru being together was announced."

As she spoke, her little eyes glanced back again, and she whispered:

"You see, he showed no expression even during the award ceremony. He didn't look very happy."

"You are such a gossip. Stop being a celebrity and become an entertainment reporter instead."

Gu Wei looked helpless.

"I'm just curious, okay?"

The two of them just chatted in a low voice.

Zhao Liying, who was sitting in the back, looked at Gu Wei and Tang Yan whispering to each other, a hint of complexity flashed in her eyes.

After a while, the award ceremony officially began, and the audience and guests became quiet.

A total of 117 Chinese domestic TV dramas have signed up for this year's Magnolia Awards, mainly including anti-war dramas, spy war dramas, urban dramas, costume dramas, military dramas, fantasy fairy tales and period historical dramas.

In the end, there were only a dozen or so TV series nominated, and the competition was considered fierce.

After the host opened the show, celebrities invited by the organizer came on stage to sing a few songs to warm up the venue, and then the awards ceremony officially began.

The first awards were presented to the Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor. Wang Kai, Liu Yijun, and Liu Mintao sitting around Gu Wei all looked nervous.

The first two nominees are male supporting actors, and Sister Mintao is nominated for female supporting roles. Everyone is very concerned about the Magnolia award.

Unfortunately, the final result disappointed everyone. The Best Supporting Actor was awarded to Zhao Lixin in [In Silence].

The best female partner went to Liu Tao in "The Legend of Mi Yue".

Wang Kai and Liu Yijun, who were sitting close to each other, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, then adjusted their expressions and applauded enthusiastically.

It’s not easy for Liu Tao either. No more [Nirvana in Fire], no more [Ode to Joy], but there is still [The Legend of Mi Yue], and he won a Magnolia [Best Supporting Actress] for his role as "Mi Shu" in it. , which can be regarded as an affirmation of her acting career.

However, Gu Wei frowned as he looked at Zhao Lixin who came on stage to receive the [Best Supporting Actor] award.

He remembered that this person became popular in middle age. Although his acting skills were good, his character was not good, mainly because his butt was crooked. He changed his nationality to Swedish. Later, he also made remarks that questioned and disrespected Chinese history. In the end, he was banned by all parties. 's blocked.

Gu Wei's expression and attitude caught the attention of Tang Yan next to him.

She looked at Gu Wei and then at the stage.

"What's wrong, you don't like him?"

Realizing something was wrong with him, he frowned and smiled again.

"I don't like it. I know that privately his stance is outward, his butt is crooked, and he is destined not to go far.

Never cooperate with him in the future, lest you get hurt. "

Tang Yan nodded thoughtfully.

After the two best supporting actor awards were presented, Zhao Liying took the stage to sing the theme song "Unspeakable" from "Flower Thousand Bones".

It has to be said that Zhao Liying has really transformed a lot in the past two years, and she has become less and less rustic. She has grown from a little-known actor to one of the most popular female stars in domestic entertainment.

From "Legend of Lu Zhen" to "Here Comes Shanshan", a collaboration with Gu Wei, and then to "Flower Thousand Bones", which became a hit last year, I have taken one step at a time, and my career has been very stable.

Gu Wei watched Zhao Liying's singing on the stage and thought of how the other looked when they were filming "Shan Shan Is Coming" together, and felt that she was becoming more and more like a big star.

After the song was sung, awards such as "Best Screenplay", "Best Documentary", and "Best Animation" were awarded on the stage.

Among them, the "Best Animation Screenplay" award was awarded to the Japanese cartoon "One Punch Man", and the "Best Screenplay" award was won by Jiang Qitao, the screenwriter of "Young Marshal".

From the opening to the present, the two crews of [Noonday Sun] have achieved nothing.

Finally, the host announced the next winners of this year’s Magnolia Awards, the TV stars and queens.

Gu Wei straightened his back, sat upright, and straightened the collar of his suit.

Jin Dong, who was on the other side of the same row, also made the same move. They both noticed each other's nervousness and looked at each other and smiled.

Jin Dong also raised his fist to show his support, and Gu Wei also nodded.

The two of them have a good relationship, and they will not give up the opportunity to win this kind of award. Of course, if the other party wins, they will be happy and happy.

The presenters were Qin Hailu, the winner of the last Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actress, and Mao Weining, who won the Best Director Award for "Ordinary World".

Among them, Qin Hailu is also a member of the judging panel of this year’s Magnolia Award.

"Hai Lu, last year we were all winners. This year your status has changed and you have become a judge. Let's talk about your thoughts."

"I'm very honored to be a judge for this year, but it's really hard to be a judge this year."

Qin Hailu smiled.

“Take the ten actors shortlisted for Best Actor and Actor this year. They basically include all the domestic phenomenal dramas in the past year, as well as all the phenomenal actors.

I think this nomination has picked them all up, so it’s really hard to choose here! "

"Well, let's take a look at the five actors nominated for Best Actor today."

After Director Mao finished speaking, the big screen began to play the TV series clips of the shortlisted actors.

First, the image of Gu Wei and Mei Changsu dressed up appeared on the big screen. He said calmly and expressionlessly:

"Master Hou's only way of survival has been blocked by me."

This is the scene in "Nirvana in Fire" where "Mei Changsu" meets "Xie Yu" in prison.

Then there are Li Xuejian in "The Young Marshal", Jin Dong in "The Pretender", Huo Jianhua in "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" and Tong Dawei in "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad".

After the five short clips were played, Gu Wei, who was sitting in the audience, held Tang Yan's hand tightly. Tang Yan also felt it. He put his other hand on the hand he was holding and patted it gently to show comfort.

Director Mao cleared his throat and said to Qin Hailu beside him:

"As a judge, you should have known the result for a long time, but this is my first time watching it."

Then he picked up the letter in his hand and opened it.

"The winner of this year's Magnolia Award for Best Actor is Gu Wei, [Nirvana in Fire]."

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience cheered loudly.

The artists, directors, screenwriters and other insiders sitting in the front row all smiled and applauded, and many of the audience in the back shouted excitedly, as if they had won an award.

Today's Magnolia Award Ceremony attracted many young viewers, among whom Gu Wei's fans accounted for a large proportion. Naturally, these people were very excited when their idol won the award.

Gu Wei couldn't suppress the happy expression on his face, hugged Tang Yan beside him, and then stood up.

Jin Dong on the other end was a little disappointed at first, then stood up with a smile and hugged Gu Wei to express congratulations.

"Congratulations to Gu Wei. The jury's comment is that his accurate grasp of rhythm and skillful acting skills completed the transformation of the butterfly in the character creation."

With applause, background music, and the host's words, Gu Wei walked onto the awards stage.

Taking the trophy from the hands of the two presenting guests, Gu Wei raised it high with a smile on his face, and there was another scream from the audience.

"Congratulations to Gu Wei, who won the Magnolia Best Actor award today. Many people may not know that Gu Wei is only 24 years old this year, making him the youngest winner of Magnolia's Best Actor in history.

Now that you have won this heavyweight award today, is there anything you want to share with all of us? "

The host stood next to Gu Wei and asked with a smile on his face.

"First of all, please allow me to express my most sincere gratitude to all the cast and crew of [Nirvana in Fire] in front of and behind the scenes. This award does not belong to me alone, but to all the cast and crew of [Nirvana in Fire]."

Gu Wei calmed down and began his acceptance speech.

“I feel very lucky to be able to meet such a good team and such a good script at this age.

Maybe people think that my performance in [Nirvana in Fire] was pretty good, and this award was awarded to me today, but I feel that I still have a lot to learn.

I will definitely continue to work hard in the future and contribute more excellent works to the audience. I hope everyone can support me as always!

Thanks! "

After speaking, Gu Wei bowed deeply to the audience, kissed his trophy in front of the camera, leaving a hearty smile, and then walked off the stage under the guidance of the staff.

After returning to his seat, Tang Yan inevitably took his trophy and played with it.

"Tsk tsk, the Magnolia Award, one of the three major trophies in the Chinese TV drama industry, is it you who won it?

The youngest Shidi in history, what a great name.”

"Lucky, lucky"

Tang Yan glanced at him.

"When will I be lucky enough to get a white magnolia?"

Gu Wei pursed his lips and smiled but said nothing.

The award presentation continued on the stage, and after the viewing, the award was presented to Sun Li of "The Legend of Mi Yue" by award presenter Jiang Wenli.

Zhao Liying unfortunately lost the election.

Although "The Legend of Mi Yue" is not as good as the previous "The Legend of Zhen Huan" in terms of reputation, Sun Li's acting skills have always been the favorite of the judges.

It’s understandable that she won the award.

Sun Li has been crowned queen for the second time today. At the 20th Magnolia Awards ceremony 4 years ago, she won the [Best Actress] award for [Hot Mom].

At that time, she was competing on the same stage with Li Xiaoran from "Big Husband", Mei Ting from "Parents' Love", and Qin Hailu who had just given an award to Gu Wei.

They are all capable actresses, but in the end the judges awarded the post-viewing honor to Sun Li, who was not present that day.

She had just given birth because she was pregnant and was still confinement at home and could not come to the scene. Even her husband Deng Chao helped to collect the trophy on her behalf.

The Best Director Award was won by two directors, Kong Sheng and Li Xue. 2 out of 7 in [Nirvana in Fire], won the Best Director and Best Actor awards, which was a pretty good harvest.

"The Legend of Mi Yue" received 4 nominations and won three awards for Best TV Series, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress. It became the biggest winner at tonight's Magnolia Awards Ceremony.

All the awards have been awarded and the 22nd Magnolia Awards Ceremony has come to an end.

When walking out from the ceremony, Kong Sheng approached Gu Wei.

"What do you think of Zhao Liying as an actor?"

Gu Wei glanced at him in surprise.

"Why does Director Kong ask that?"

Kong Sheng looked around.

"You are not an outsider either. Aren't costume dramas with female protagonists like [The Legend of Zhen Huan] and [The Legend of Mi Yue] on the market now very popular?

The company is considering producing this kind of TV series next.

I chatted with Lao Li and found that there are not many actors in the entertainment industry who can support major female protagonists in dramas.

Sun Li is definitely the best choice, but she is Zheng Xiaolong's favorite heroine.

I think Zhao Liying is good, but her previous roles were all idol dramas. I wonder if her crotch would stretch if she acted in a real drama.

Haven't you worked with her before, so I'm asking for your opinion for reference. "

Gu Wei thought for a while.

“I first got to know her while filming [Shanshan Is Here], and it’s been almost 3 years now.

In my impression, although Zhao Liying did not come from an acting school, she has a strong ambition in her acting career, and of course she has the talent and hard work to match.

I think she really wants to become a good actor and is moving forward step by step towards this goal.

So if you ask me, Director Kong, then I can say responsibly that if there is a role for a leading heroine in [Noonday Sunshine], Zhao Liying will definitely be one of the most suitable candidates! "

Kong Sheng nodded unconsciously after hearing Gu Wei's words, thought about it, and then smiled and patted Gu Wei on the shoulder.

"Okay, I understand, I have this idea for the time being, and maybe I will cooperate with her in the future.

But compared to her, I’m still looking forward to working with you again.”

"Haha, if Director Kong needs a word, I will definitely not refuse as long as I have a schedule."

"You kid, you can tell me nice things. When I asked you to play [The Pretender] last time I was filming [Nirvana in Fire], didn't I reject it in the end?"

Gu Wei smiled and said nothing.

We are all friends, and it depends on what you are acting in. Of course, you must give the director face in person.

After exiting the gate of Oriental Art Center, Gu Wei met Liu Yan again. To be precise, she was waiting for Gu Wei here.

"Mr. Gu, do you have time later? I would like to treat you to a casual meal."

Gu Wei raised his wrist and looked at the time.

“Unfortunately, I really don’t have time today.

Well, I've been filming on the set lately, so I really can't spare any time.

When this drama is completed, I will contact you when I return to Beijing.

This way you don’t have to think about asking me out all the time, and I feel embarrassed to keep rejecting you. "

After saying that, he looked at his nanny car not far away and waved to her.

"Then I'll leave first. Let's contact you via WeChat later."

Watching Gu Wei's black nanny car drive away, Liu Yan looked regretful.
