Chapter 1033
After Winning the Award!
The official photo session has ended.
Liu Yifei took Chen Yu's arm and headed to the next location.
Those in the industry who attended the Oscars ceremony tonight have already headed to the Governors' Ball.
As for the winners—
Guided by staff, they arrived at their designated workstations to have their names engraved on the golden statuettes they had received.
Liu Yifei holds the trophy that symbolizes the Best Actress award.
A hint of anticipation crept into his eyes and brows.
"At that time."
"I want to present the trophy to my mother."
Chen Yu's lips curved slightly, showing no objection whatsoever to his girlfriend's words.
Liu Xiaoli played a significant role in promoting Liu Yifei's career.
For a single mother to raise Liu Yifei to be so outstanding, she must have put in a lot of effort.
"Auntie will be very happy to see this."
The two went through a specific procedure.
After doing all this, they continued on to the governor's ball.
The distance is not far.
It's located in the same building as the Kodak Theatre.
Chen Yu looked straight ahead; this would be the last time he participated in an event at the Kodak Theatre.
In February 2012, Kodak went bankrupt, and the naming rights also ended at that time.
Perhaps noticing that her boyfriend seemed a little lost in thought, Liu Yifei turned her head to look at him.
"What are you thinking about?"
Chen Yu waved his hand.
When one era comes to an end, another will naturally rise.
As for them.
There is no way to change things except to follow history.
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei had arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall for the governor's ball.
This is the usual procedure after the Oscars ceremony.
It is officially hosted by the college.
It was entirely a celebratory ceremony following the awards ceremony.
As for the engraving of the little golden statue, that's part of the official certification process for the Governors' Ball.
"Let's go inside."
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei exchanged a smile.
Led by staff, the appearance of the two undoubtedly attracted the attention of industry professionals attending the governor's dinner.
Tom Sherac was the first to walk over.
As the chairman of the organizing committee, he naturally had reason to offer his blessings to today's biggest winner.
Although they had just had a chance to meet backstage.
"Chan, Crystal."
"Welcome to the biggest winners of tonight!"
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei greeted Tom Sherac with smiles.
Look around.
This so-called governor's ball is nothing more than a networking event for top-tier connections.
Top directors, producers, and distributors.
Everyone is here for one purpose only.
That was for the purpose of discussing cooperation and finalizing new projects.
When everyone saw Chen Yu appear, a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes.
Emil Sherman greeted Chen Yu.
Chen Yu's recent achievements can be described as unparalleled.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that it's backed by two top companies like Warner and Disney is already enough to make many people envious.
"Chan, I haven't had a chance to congratulate you yet, but Joker has won a grand slam tonight."
The words were spoken.
Emil Sherman looked at Liu Yifei, who was standing next to Chen Yu.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to you both on winning Best Actor and Best Actress."
"I remember there is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'True love will eventually be united.'"
"I imagine you two are doubly happy today."
It was obvious to anyone with eyes to see that Emil Sherman wanted to befriend Chen Yu.
Precisely.
All the elites present wanted to build a good relationship with Chen Yu.
Chen Yu has a wealth of resources at his disposal, and there will definitely be more projects in the future.
At that time, it will be clear that they are preparing to dominate the market.
If we can cultivate good relations now, we might be able to expand our territory.
After all, China's box office influence is quite high.
Some movies can even achieve more than half of the box office record.
More and more people are following in Chen Yu and Liu Yifei's footsteps, and many of them are congratulating them.
Until everyone dispersed.
Liu Yifei and Chen Yu eventually had some independent events of their own.
"I heard."
"The governor's ball is helmed by Wolfgang Parker."
Liu Yifei was quite familiar with this name.
On weekdays, there is absolutely no chance to make an appointment.
"Yes."
"Here! Have a little golden statue."
Chen Yu picked up the 24K gold leaf chocolate miniature man in front of him, which is also Wolfgang Parker's signature dish.
Precisely.
It perfectly echoes the Oscar statuette.
Liu Yifei took the little golden statuette from Chen Yu and took a very elegant bite.
It melts at the entrance.
The texture is incredibly smooth.
Liu Yifei's eyes lit up; she was clearly amazed by the flavor.
"Hello everyone."
Tom Sherac's voice came from the stage, causing Liu Yifei to stop what she was doing and turn her head to look in that direction.
Next.
It will be the official address from the college president.
"Welcome everyone to the Governor's Ball."
"There are no losers today, everyone is a winner."
"I am delighted to see so many outstanding works receive honors."
"future."
"I believe everyone can create even better works."
Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
There was thunderous applause.
All eyes turned to Tom Sherac.
Today is supposed to be a relaxing day, and everyone needs to unwind after being under so much stress.
So much so.
Tom Sherac didn't say much.
After finishing his speech, he walked directly to the audience.
Let's raise a glass together!
Someone in the crowd shouted, and more and more people raised their glasses.
This moment.
It has nothing to do with any competition.
Everyone present was the perfect witness to each other.
The governor's ball lasted very late.
Around 3 a.m.
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei finally had a chance to return to the hotel.
Both of them were slightly tipsy today. Perhaps it was because they were in high spirits, but even in such cold weather, they could still feel the passion emanating from their bodies.
"Congratulations, Best Actor."
"This time, I've finally achieved a true Grand Slam!"
Liu Yifei squinted at Chen Yu.
Their eyes met in the air, and then they smiled at each other.
Normally, there should be another standard official procedure following this.
Go to In-N-Out to take photos.
However, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei no longer had much energy, so they naturally returned to the hotel first.
According to Tom Sherac, they also have a morning interview and a magazine photoshoot tomorrow.
Even Warner Bros. and Disney have internal review processes.
Although the awards ceremony has ended, there are still many things to deal with afterwards.
Liu Yifei washed away her fatigue.
Her eyes were filled with hope at this moment, and everything that had happened today made her feel an unprecedented joy.
"Why haven't they come out yet?"
Chen Yu had been lying in bed for a long time, but his girlfriend hadn't come out yet. It wasn't until he went to the bathroom that he noticed Liu Yifei lying in the bathtub. As he entered, she slowly opened her eyes.
The moisture made her eyes appear even more hazy.
Her eyes, as she looked at Chen Yu, were filled with joy and tenderness.
"husband."
"It all feels like a dream."
She's terrified that when she wakes up, everything will be back to square one.
Chen Yu pulled Liu Yifei out of the water.
Her eyes and brows exude gentleness.
A light, shallow kiss landed on Liu Yifei's cheek and forehead; this moment was a celebration just for the two of them.
The kiss ended.
Liu Yifei had already leaned on Chen Yu's shoulder.
He was panting heavily, his mind and eyes filled with the person in front of him.
"very nice."
"We can finally be together."
Faced with Liu Yifei's words, Chen Yu was somewhat amused and exasperated.
He understood the meaning behind Liu Yifei's words, but he didn't correct her too much.
After pulling Liu Yifei out of the water, Chen Yu wiped the water droplets off her body.
Throughout this process, Liu Yifei's eyes remained fixed on Chen Yu's every move.
Naturally, they knew what would happen next.

buzzing-
Early in the morning.
Chen Yu's phone kept ringing.
Next up is an interview after the Oscars ceremony. Compared to yesterday's ceremony, today's questions will obviously be more tricky and sensitive.
Liu Yifei got out of bed.
She has never liked dealing with these media reporters.
Every step of the process is likely to set traps for them, but if they answer appropriately, there will naturally be no problems.
The real danger lies in media reporters misinterpreting the meaning behind their words.
The outcome is predictable.
"What's wrong, big-name actress?"
"You're already nervous before the interview has even started?"
Chen Yu put his hand on Liu Yifei's waist, his words clearly tinged with teasing.
Liu Yifei punched Chen Yu in the chest.
I felt like my mind was about to fall apart.
They got back very late yesterday, and then stayed up until the early hours of the morning. They've only slept for two or three hours in total.
Liu Yifei's mind was in complete chaos, while her boyfriend, on the other hand, looked refreshed and energetic.
"I just successfully proposed to you yesterday, and you're going to kill your husband today?"
"Want to live the life of a widow?"
Chen Yu's words left Liu Yifei both amused and exasperated, and she didn't even have the energy to continue arguing.
She naturally understood the meaning behind her boyfriend's words; he simply wanted her to look more energetic.
The two of them quickly washed and dressed.
A professional decorating team had already arrived at the hotel, and after everything was arranged, Chen Yu and Liu Yifei headed to the Kodak Theatre.
This interview took place in the lounge upstairs at the Kodak Theatre.
The appearance of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei clearly caused a stir.
Everyone turned to look.
After spending the entire night organizing their thoughts, everyone had already come up with the questions they wanted to ask.
Compared to yesterday, which only focused on the feelings of winning the award, today's questions are clearly much more incisive.
have to say.
When Chen Yu and Liu Yifei, this golden couple, appeared, they were clearly dazzling.
The two sat in the seats that had been prepared for them, and when they looked at the dark mass of people below the stage, they couldn't help but resign themselves to their fate.
Then comes the real test of dealing with whatever comes our way.
Media reporters quickly swarmed in.
This time, there wasn't even a "courtesy first, then force" approach.
"Chan, Joker beat out popular titles like The King's Speech and The Social Network. What do you think made your film a winner?"
"How did you sleep last night? You must be too excited to sleep after winning your first Oscar."
"Will there be any changes after winning the award? What kind of works do you plan to make next?"
Why choose such a grand occasion as the Oscars to propose?
“Crystal, were you a little dazed at the time? I remember you didn’t even give an acceptance speech.”
The interviews following the Oscars ceremony were rapid-fire Q&A sessions.
The whole process only takes two to three minutes for each person, so everyone tries to ask their questions as quickly as possible.
only.
Chen Yu hadn't expected that the comparisons and criticisms in these questions would be so obvious.
No matter what you say.
This question definitely needs to be answered properly.
Throughout the process, the most taboo thing is to belittle the opponent or talk about sensitive topics.
His gaze fell upon the media reporters in front of him.
Chen Yu had no choice but to speak first and answer the question.
"I was really excited last night, so much so that I only managed to sleep for a short while this morning."
"I submitted the proposal to Oscar a long time ago."
"My partner and I made a promise that we would get married if I won an Oscar."
As Chen Yu spoke, his gaze fell on where Liu Yifei was.
"For me, the best time to propose is when my loved one wins the grand prize."
as predicted.
The media reporters were already used to Chen Yu rarely answering sensitive questions.
As everyone expected, he chose the one that was least likely to cause problems to answer.
Liu Yifei then looked at the media reporters.
"then."
"With such double surprises, I felt like I was floating on air."
"It wasn't until I was leaving the stage that I realized I hadn't given my acceptance speech."
Liu Yifei smiled.
"Can you give me a chance to make it up to you now?"
No one refused; they were more eager to talk as long as possible, since Chen Yu and Liu Yifei were currently the most sought-after people.
"I am very happy, and I am also very touched."
"Yesterday was the happiest moment of my life. I won the highest honor in my career and also received a marriage proposal from my love."
"This will be the most precious memory of my life."
As she said those words, tears welled up in Liu Yifei's eyes.
Chen Yu pulled her into his arms.
The future is still long.
They will have more and more wonderful memories.
Similarly, there will be many more meaningful things to do.
The Oscars ceremony has come to a close.
Next.
They will strive for a bigger stage.
Chen Yu's dream remains unchanged: he hopes to help Chinese-language films gain a foothold on the international stage.
To create more and better works with my loved one.
Liu Yifei's words drew applause from everyone.
These two Chinese filmmakers can be considered benchmarks in the international film industry.
"We look forward to seeing more of your excellent works."
Chen Yu and Liu Yifei responded.
After finishing their internal calculations at Warner and Disney, they could return home! (End of Chapter)
