CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

"Did I really win the Best Newcomer Award?"

Xie Zhuxin was holding her cell phone and walking back and forth in the corner of the corridor outside the dressing room.

She had just been inexplicably congratulated in the crew's dressing room, and she immediately walked out and called her agent.

As expected, hearing Wu Yinan's tone, she was also quite surprised.

However, she did seem to be clueless. She asked Xie Zhuxin to give her some time to verify and then hung up the phone.

Five minutes later, Wu Yinan called back.

"I saw the official list of winners from the Directors Guild Awards of Hong Kong Island."

Her voice paused.

"Confirmed! You won the Best Newcomer Award for "Born in July"!"

Xie Zhuxin looked at the sky outside the corridor window, exhaled suddenly, and felt as if his heart was filled with fireworks.

After so many years in the industry, in addition to those popularity awards, she finally received recognition from a professional acting award for the first time in her life!

And it is the “Best Newcomer” award which has special meaning for any actor!

Because if an actor is strong enough and lucky enough, he or she can win the Best Actor or Best Actress awards countless times in his or her lifetime.

But they almost only have one chance to compete for the "Best Newcomer Award".

If you miss that opportunity, you will never get it again even if you become a superstar.

Kris Wu considerately kept silent, allowing his artist to quietly enjoy the joy of winning the award for the first time.

Sure enough, in less than a minute, Xie Zhuxin had calmed down and quickly realized the problem.

"Since they gave the award to me in the end, why didn't they notify me in advance to go to the scene?"

"Uh... maybe they didn't have enough funds for the award this time, so they didn't invite those who live far away?"

Wu Yinan was stumped by the question and guessed hesitantly.

Xie Zhuxin couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The Hong Kong Directors Guild Award is an award that has almost never been heard of by most audiences outside the industry.

Because it is just a professional award voted by the industry.

The award ceremony was very simple, no different from an industry gathering.

There was no live broadcast, and the entire list of winners was released to the media as soon as the awards were announced.

Therefore, even if you are in the entertainment industry, if you are not in the film industry, or have never been interested in film awards, you won’t know much.

But Xie Zhuxin and her management team have studied this award seriously.

If for no other reason, it is because the Hong Kong Directors Guild Award is one of the important indicators of the Golden Bauhinia Awards.

Ever since his outstanding performance during the filming of "Born in July", he has been recognized by producer Shi Shengjie.

Director Gu Mei once half-jokingly reminded her that she had a chance of winning the Golden Bauhinia Award.

Because Producer Shi Da has a deep connection with this award.

After "Born in July" was officially released and achieved great success in both box office and reputation, more people mentioned the Golden Bauhinia Award in front of him.

Gu Mei even took action and took Xie Zhuxin to several dinner parties with people in the circle.

Afterwards, Xie Zhuxin's team studied the backgrounds of those at the dinner.

If you trace it back to the source, they are all vaguely related to the Golden Bauhinia Awards.

This is enough to show that starting from the production team, "You Are the One" has a natural advantage in the Golden Bauhinia Awards, so this award is also regarded as the main direction to strive for.

Therefore, Xie Zhuxin and her management team also conducted research on the Golden Bauhinia Awards.

By the way, the three major Chinese film awards actually each have their own relatively close regional cultural circles.

For example, the Golden Bauhinia Awards are closely related to the Hong Kong film industry.

Therefore, industry union awards such as the Hong Kong Directors Guild Award, the Hong Kong Film Critics Association Award and the Hong Kong Writers Guild Award, even though the awards themselves are simple, have become the weather vane of the annual Golden Bauhinia Awards.

Previously, Gu Mei wanted to help Xie Zhuxin make more connections, and also to make herself familiar to those people in the circle who voted and judged the awards, so as to gain better momentum for the Outpost Award.

Unfortunately, this dinner party was interrupted by Xie Zhuxin's emergency weight loss plan just as it was about to begin.

For this, she felt very sorry to Gu Mei who had kindly helped her, and she even made a special trip to call Sister Gu Mei and explained the situation carefully.

Fortunately, Gu Mei didn't care too much about her feelings.

“When I was young, I naively believed that as long as I acted well enough, others would naturally recognize me with awards.

“But the fact is that award PR is very, very important. Of course, you may not win the award if you do it, but if you don’t do it, unless you have a deep enough background and a strong enough influence, the pie won’t fall on your head so easily.

"After all, this is the best newcomer award that only comes once in a lifetime. Have you really thought about it?"

Gu Mei's voice on the phone was not loud and a little hoarse. It was obvious that she was quite tired from the privacy revelations some time ago.

But when facing Xie Zhuxin, she still patiently advised the other party to reconsider.

"Then you don't want the Best New Director award, which only comes once in a lifetime?"

After blocking Gu Mei's mouth with her own words, Xie Zhuxin stuck out her tongue mischievously.

“In fact, I feel a little embarrassed to compete with those amateurs or even children who are really acting for the first time for the Best Newcomer award.

"Although I'm not a professional actor, I've been acting in TV dramas for several years. I'm a newcomer in the film industry, but not in acting. I really won, but it feels like an unfair victory~"

It’s true that I don’t want to compete with Sister Gu Mei for the film’s award-winning resources.

It is also true that I don't want to affect my preparation for a new role because of a lengthy public relations process that is not cost-effective.

But more importantly, her goal has never just been to win the "Best Newcomer" award, but the "Best Actress" award that all actresses dream of!

Therefore, she is not in a hurry for her first work to bear fruit.

Gu Mei accepted Xie Zhuxin's idea.

So for more than a month, no one came to disturb her retreat and fitness.

Unfortunately, Xie Zhuxin Studio has temporarily slowed down its public relations work for the award.

But now, a “Best Newcomer” suddenly fell from the sky?
