Chapter 342: Man Shen Yi Xian
At eight o'clock sharp, the award ceremony began on time.

Li Chen sat in the first row because he was the award presenter.

On the left and right are Zhang Manyu and Li An.

Sitting in the first row not far away were Chen Kexin and his wife, Wu Yusen and others.

Just by looking at Huayi's lineup today, Li Chen had a rough idea in his mind.

The most popular candidates for Best Actor are Zhang Fengyi, Li Lianjie and Zhang Hanyu.

"Assembly" will definitely win an award, and in all likelihood it will be the Best Actor award.

And "The Bow" and "The Warlords" will not return empty-handed.

Otherwise Chen Kexin wouldn't have been smiling like a Ninja Turtle all night.

After Lin Chi-ling's opening dance, the 45th Golden Horse Awards officially kicked off.

No one cares about small prizes, but even for the big prize, Li Chen is now calm.

Li Chen of "Draw the Bow" won the Best Original Screenplay.

"Assembly" won the Best Adapted Screenplay award.

Liu Dehua and Zheng Yuling presented the award to Li Chen.

Zheng Yuling still remembers Li Chen's brilliance at the Academy Awards ceremony that year.

So Liu Dehua and I asked Li Chen in a proper manner how he felt about winning the award, and we didn't dare to tease Li Chen.

I was afraid that I would be embarrassed like Zeng Zhiwei that year.

Li Chen's answer was equally conventional, and he even joked with Liu Dehua.

"This is my first time winning the Best Original Screenplay award as a newcomer." Li Chen said with a smile, pausing deliberately.

The stars in the audience and Liu Dehua on the stage both laughed out loud.

"Hey, hey, hey, Li Chen, that's enough. Is this your first time winning the Best Screenplay Award? You make it sound like you attend the award ceremony every year!" Liu Dehua said with a smile.

Zheng Yuling also laughed and said, "Director Li, if you are considered a newcomer, then the newcomers sitting in the audience should be nervous."

Feng Xiaogang muttered, "What a fucking pretentious guy!"

Yang Siwei, Liu Yifei and others were watching Li Chen's performance on the stage, whispering to each other, laughing and saying something.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Well, as an old man, I want to thank the Golden Horse Awards for giving me the first screenwriting award in my life."

Li Chen stepped off the stage, and Zhang Manyu said with a smile: "If your company's works are willing to participate in the award ceremony every year, I guarantee that you will win at least one screenwriting award every year."

Li Chen smiled and didn't respond.

The small prizes were distributed evenly, with all the prizes coming from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau.

Jiao Xiongping got the balance just right.

The Best New Actor award was given to Jiang Shengmin from Baodao. There was no disappointment on Reba's face, and she had done a good job in mental preparation.

When it came to the Best Supporting Actress award, the spotlight went to several nominated actresses, including Liu Xiaoli.

However, Liu Xiaoli looked calm and composed, showing no emotion at all.

It seemed as if she was not included in the nomination.

The awards were presented by Xiaoyanzi and Zhang Zhen.

When Zhang Zhen read the preface, everyone knew who the winner was.

"In Draw the Bow, Dad, she portrayed the tenderness and great maternal love of traditional Chinese women to the core. She is Ms. Liu Xiaoli, who plays the mother."

Liu Xiaoli won the award, but the person who was most excited was the single-cell beauty girl's daughter Liu Yifei.

Sina's live broadcast room is filled with joy at this moment.

"Sissi hasn't won an award yet, but her mom has already won. It seems like both mother and daughter will win the Golden Horse Awards together."

"If Liu Yifei doesn't win the award, but my mother-in-law does, I wonder how much of a shadow will be in Leo's heart."

"This question is beyond the scope of the syllabus. It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Liu Xiaoli was slightly stunned. She simply hugged her excited daughter and went on stage to receive the award.

Li Chen also started to applaud.

Looking at Miss Liu's excitement.

Li Chen sighed in his heart: "Forget about the Best Actress title."

As expected, the Best Actress award was given to Liu Meijun from Hong Kong's "I Don't Sell My Body, I Sell My Womb".

Liu Yifei felt a little disappointed, after all, she had put a lot of effort into this play.

The sweat shed during training alone probably weighs dozens of kilograms.

The netizens in the live broadcast room and Liu Yifei's fans were instantly unhappy.

Because Liu Yifei had received a lot of support before.

"Who is Liu Meijun?"

"Who has seen this fucking movie?"

"Are you kidding me? The 500 Million Dollar Female Lead didn't win the award, and you're teasing me with my Sissi?"

"What golden horse? It's more like a broken horse!"

There was a lot of cursing in the live broadcast room, but there was applause at the award ceremony.

Li Chen looked back, and Liu Yifei happened to look over there too.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Ms. Liu's Buddhist style can be summed up in one sentence: If I get it, I am lucky, if I lose it, it is my fate. Otherwise, her Weibo fans in the future will not be inferior to those of Da Mimi and Da Baobei.

Why? Because it was opened late.

Da Mimi and Da Baobei both opened their accounts right after Weibo came online in 09.

Ms. Liu didn’t open her Weibo account until 13.

I rarely post on Weibo on a daily basis. I only post a few words as a routine when there is a promotion for a new drama.

It’s nothing like Da Mimi and Da Baobei who post a delicious meal today, an update tomorrow, and an advertisement the day after tomorrow.

"It's normal that Yifei didn't win an award. There wasn't much room for her acting skills to be fully utilized in 'Draw the Bow'," Zhang Manyu said very objectively.

Li Chen also knew: "Don't worry, Sister Manyu, I know who she is better than anyone else."

"Back then, Wang Jiawei was able to train you, who was known as a vase, into the Man God you are today."

"I can also shape sand into a tower and create a Yixian!"

Zhang Manyu smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll wait and see."

Li Chen was actually unsure, but he would not lose his reputation at this moment.

When Zhang Manyu debuted, she was indeed criticized as being just a vase.

But meeting King of Sunglasses was like opening up his Ren and Du meridians.

From then on, winning awards was like a piece of cake.

As expected, the Best Actor award was given to Zhang Hanyu.

Li Chen suddenly understood everything.

He and Maggie Cheung presented the Best Director award.

It is most likely Chen Kexin.

Why?

The topic is very popular and Chen Kexin also has the ability.

Moreover, Li Chen and Chen Kexin have never gotten along, but Zhang Manyu is the heroine of Chen Kexin's famous work "Sweet Honey".

Isn't this a very popular topic?

Li Chen turned his head and glanced at Zhang Manyu: "Sister Yu, the best director should be Chen Kexin, right?"

Zhang Manyu smiled and said, "You just figured it out? Otherwise, why would we be the ones to present this award?"

Li Chen and Zhang Manyu both came on stage and performed a crosstalk.

"Li Chen, who do you think will be the best director?"

"I can't guess. After all, I wasn't shortlisted."

There was laughter and applause at the scene.

The live broadcast room was flooded with messages.

"Leo is awesome. After all, I didn't make the cut, but you're talking as if you signed up."

"That's right. If The Whistleblower had been released earlier, I'm afraid it would have won the Golden Horse Awards this year."

Zhang Manyu also laughed at the scene.

Li Chen quickly said, "It's just a joke. After all, there are so many big directors tonight. The nominated directors Chen, Feng, and Wu are all talented."

“It’s hard to say who will win.”

"Let's look at the big screen." As he spoke, Li Chen opened the list of winners.

Sure enough, Chen Kexin and his wife came here to ride horses.

After the awards were presented, it was the turn of the most anticipated Best Picture.

This is hard to guess.

If the Best Film is not given to "Dad", then Li Chen's team can be said to have been made fun of at this Golden Horse Awards.

After all, none of the major awards are currently related to "Draw the Bow".

"Assembly" won the Best Actor award, and "The Warlords" won the Best Director award.

Formosa's "Cape No. 7" also won the Best Supporting Actor, Formosa's Best Film of the Year, and the Best Film voted by the audience.

Li Chen was actually a little nervous.

It's not the kind of nervousness that comes from worrying about winning or losing, but the kind of nervousness that comes from worrying about becoming a laughing stock if you don't win the award.

Li An and Lin Qingxia walked onto the stage.

Li An, the chameleon, suddenly showed his true colors. He just said that he came to the Golden Horse Awards because he heard that he was coming.

As soon as he came on stage, he forgot what he had just said and started praising Lin Qingxia.

"The main reason I can come to support the Golden Horse Awards this year is to stand with you."

"I, I remember when I first attended the Golden Horse Awards, there was a cocktail party after the awards ceremony."

"Well, there was a hall full of superstars, and I was standing next to it, and the first person I saw was Lin Qingxia standing in the middle."

"Really, she is a star among stars."

Li Chen almost laughed out loud.

It is said that the egg-laying rooster is the fighting cock among roosters!
