When they came backstage, Liu Yifei’s face was filled with uncontrollable joy, and her eyes were shining with excitement. She followed Shen Lang closely and talked about her feelings nonstop: “Brother Lang, getting this award today is the best adult gift I have ever received!”
Shen Lang listened quietly, tilting his head slightly, his eyes focused on her pretty face, his eyes full of gentle smiles, as if he was sharing her joy. When she paused, he spoke: “You deserve this award. Everyone has seen your efforts in the past few years. I also believe that this is just the beginning. There will be more honors waiting for you in the future.”
Liu Yifei’s eyes lit up, and a shy but happy smile appeared on her face. She lowered her head slightly, twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and said, “If it weren’t for your help and guidance, I wouldn’t be where I am today.”
Shen Lang smiled and said, “Don’t say that. Your talent and hard work are the most important. I am just giving you some advice. In the future, you will definitely encounter various challenges on the road of acting, but I believe you have the ability to overcome them.”
Liu Yifei nodded heavily, her eyes firm: “Yes, I will! I will continue to work hard.”
After saying that, the two of them walked out of the backstage together and headed towards the bustling venue.
Liu Yifei always had a curved eyebrow and a slight smile on her lips, full of joy, and her smile was as bright as a flower blooming in spring.
Her heart is full of longing and expectation for the future.
Especially when she thought about the movie “Secret” that she would work with Shen Lang to shoot next year, she felt an irrepressible excitement in her heart and couldn’t wait to get into the filming as soon as possible.
Back to the seat, the award ceremony continued.
Although Tong Dawei and Sun Li, who were ranked second in the number of votes behind Shen Lang and Liu Yifei, did not win the Most Popular Actor and Actress awards, they still gained something. Together with eight other actors, they won the “Most Popular TV Actor and Actress Award”.
Today also happens to be Sun Li’s 22nd birthday, which is a very memorable day for her.
As for the remaining major awards, the “Best Performing Arts Actor and Actress Awards” were won by Hou Yong and Wang Ji, and the “Television Performing Arts Achievement Award”, which was established for the first time at this year’s Golden Eagle Awards, was won by Tang Guoqiang, who has won the Golden Eagle Award three times in a row.
Compared with the slightly formulaic Golden Eagle Awards ceremonies of previous years, this year’s Golden Eagle Awards ceremony was bold and innovative, and adopted a unique interview format. The entire gala was splendid and full of highlights, completely breaking the traditional pattern of letting award-winning actors merely “go through the motions” and bringing a brand new viewing experience to the audience.
During the interviews, the stars were no longer distant beings on the stage, but shared their acting experiences and mental journeys sincerely like friends, which greatly narrowed the distance between the actors and the audience and emphasized the communication and interaction between the two. This interaction not only allowed the audience to have a deeper understanding of the actors, but also made the actors feel the support and love of the audience.
Especially when the screen played the actors’ families’ psychological words to the actors, many audience members and actors in the audience shed tears of emotion.
After three hours, this year’s Golden Eagle Festival came to a successful conclusion in a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

Amid the overwhelming reports, Shen Lang had already left Star City early and headed for the Magic City to attend CCTV’s Mid-Autumn Festival Gala.
The theme of this year’s gala is “The shared memory of Chinese people around the world”. In order to fully showcase the most contemporary and charming side of today’s Shanghai and contemporary China, the gala will be held at three representative scenic spots in Shanghai.
The entire evening show is expected to last two hours and will be divided into several chapters, including “Romantic City of Love”, “Old Shanghai, New Expression”, “Thinking of Hometown on a Moonlit Night”, “Gathering of Chinese”, etc. It will include covers of old songs that reflect the style of the old Shanghai, popular songs and dances that showcase fashion, as well as a variety of program formats such as piano performances, folk music performances, ballet, and opera performances.
The evening party invited cultural celebrities from home and abroad such as Pai Hsien-yung and Chen Yifei to attend, and analyzed the profound connotation of Shanghai culture through interviews with their personal experiences. Overseas Chinese representatives from all over the world were invited to watch the performance, reflecting the mutual complementation of Chinese people around the world in cultural pulse and national sentiment.
In addition, famous Shanghai singers who have not appeared in public for a long time, such as Zhang Lu, Zhang Fan, and Wu Yingyin, will also attend the party to tell the little-known stories behind the classic hits.
In addition, many popular singers will also participate in this performance, including Wang Lihong, Rong Zuer, A-du, Lin Junjie, Zhang Shaohan, Black Panther Band, etc. Shanghai musician Li Quan will sing with Zhao Wei the song “City of Love” specially created for this evening party.
Originally, CCTV tried to take advantage of Shen Lang’s talent and hoped that he could compose this song for the evening party. However, he politely declined the request on the grounds of being busy.
However, out of consideration for promoting the 87 Girls Group to the Spring Festival Gala stage, he still accepted CCTV’s invitation and confirmed that he would attend today’s gala.
Today, Liu Yifei and Shu Chang also came together.
Since they joined Shen Lang’s company, their acting careers have been like riding on a high-speed train, moving forward at a rapid pace, and they have made great achievements in both the film and television and music fields. Today, they have become the hottest presence in the entertainment industry, and both their film and television works and music works have attracted much attention.
Various endorsement collaborations are coming one after another, and event invitations are overwhelming. The schedule is full, busy and fulfilling.
CCTV finally agreed to let them perform on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Shen Lang’s influence was certainly a factor, but it was not the only reason.
On the one hand, they are extremely popular and have a broad fan base among the audience. Their works and images are deeply loved by the public, and they have the strength and appeal to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, the top national stage.
On the other hand, the song “Chinese Language” they sang was a masterpiece from the lyrics to the composition and performance. It not only demonstrated the profoundness of the Chinese language, but was also full of positive energy. It fits the theme and atmosphere conveyed by the Spring Festival Gala stage very well, and naturally won them the opportunity to perform on the Spring Festival Gala.
At the lively CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, various social interactions and pleasantries are inevitable.
Shen Lang was busy for a while before he was able to take a break, so he chatted with Liu Yifei and Shu Chang: “After the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, what are your work arrangements?”
Liu Yifei blinked her lively big eyes with a hint of playfulness in her eyes, and asked, “Brother Lang, what about you?” After spending some time together, the awkward courtesies between her and Shen Lang were no longer there.
Shen Lang shrugged calmly and said, “I’m busy with the concert. There are only ten shows left.”
Shu Chang interjected, “Time flies by so fast. I didn’t expect that only one-fifth of the show is left.”
Liu Yifei said with emotion: “Yes, the wonderful scenes of the first Yanjing Station are still vivid in my mind, and it is almost over.”
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: “Hey, hey, it seems like I’m asking you two.”
Liu Yifei stuck out her pink tongue after hearing this, looking very cute, and then said: “Sister Du got me two endorsements and two advertisements, and then I will promote “The Return of the Condor Heroes”, and it seems that I have also been arranged to appear on “Happy Camp”. “
Shu Chang then said: “My situation is similar to Xixi’s. The promotion work for “The Lotus Lantern 2″ is about to begin.”
Shen Lang nodded slightly, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and he asked, “Will your promotional periods coincide with each other and you two compete?”
He knew that all three dramas had been sold, but he was not sure when they would be aired.
Liu Yifei waved her hand and said, “No.”
Shu Chang added: “The broadcast times of The Return of the Condor Heroes, The Lotus Lantern 2 and The Chinese Paladin 3 are all staggered.”
After all, both Julang Film and Television and Shenghua Film and Television participated in the investment, so they naturally would not arrange their own works to compete in the same time period.
“The Return of the Condor Heroes” is scheduled to be broadcast early next year, “The Lotus Lantern 2” is scheduled after the Spring Festival, and “The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3” will be chosen in the summer vacation.
In fact, the TV station is not willing to go head-to-head. Such a broadcast arrangement is both reasonable and can maximize the advantages of each work.
Time passed quietly without us noticing, and in the blink of an eye, CCTV’s Mid-Autumn Festival Gala began.
The programs of the three of them were arranged at the end. Shen Lang sang “Preference” solo and then sang “Old Boy” with Wang Lihong, while Liu Yifei and Shu Chang sang three of their popular songs in a medley.
After the performance, on this beautiful night, the group went to experience the nightlife of Shanghai and had a midnight snack, which was considered as a way of celebrating the festival.
