Entertainment: Who Said That the Golden Supporting Role Cannot Become the Top Stream

65: The grand ceremony was full of twists and turns, and the hidden tricks were hiddenThe stage of the Penguin Video Annual Gala was resplendent with dazzling lights and glittering stars.

One by one, highly anticipated awards were announced, and the winners, amidst thunderous applause and flashing lights, excitedly held up their trophies, sharing their glory and joy.

Lin Da sat in the guest section, quietly observing the grand ceremony. He wasn’t disappointed or impatient just because he was a ”spectator”; instead, he saw it as a rare opportunity for learning and observation. He carefully listened to each winner’s acceptance speech, feeling their passion and dedication to the performing arts; he also silently observed the words and actions of the industry giants below the stage, learning their art of navigating this world of fame and fortune with ease.

As Penguin Video’s most anticipated drama for next year, the chronicles of the great ming dynasty naturally occupied a significant portion of the gala. A meticulously edited, three-minute exclusive preview was broadcast on the gigantic LED screen, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the entire venue.

In the preview, Emperor Yongle’s brilliant strategies and grand vision, the treacherous twists and turns within the imperial court, and... Lin Da’s portrayal of Wei Zhongxian’s unfathomable gaze and morally ambiguous aura, all left an extremely profound impression on the guests present and the hundreds of millions of netizens watching the live broadcast.

”This Wei Zhongxian is quite interesting!”

”Lin Da played him? Can’t tell he’s a newcomer at all!”

”That gaze, that aura, simply amazing! Must watch the chronicles of the great ming dynasty!”

On the bullet screen comments, discussions about Lin Da and Wei Zhongxian once again stirred up a small climax.

Midway through the gala, the host specifically invited several key creators of the chronicles of the great ming dynasty onto the stage for a brief interaction and promotion.

Lin Da, as the ”special invited representative” of the crew, was naturally among them.

He stood shoulder to shoulder with Teacher Chen Daoming, who played Emperor Yongle, and several other veteran actors with important roles in the drama, facing countless gazes from the audience with composure and dignity, neither humble nor arrogant.

”Teacher Lin Da,” the host handed the microphone to Lin Da, a professional smile on his face, ”We all know that the Wei Zhongxian you portray in the chronicles of the great ming dynasty is a very complex and challenging role. Could you share with us your biggest insight or experience in shaping this character?”

Lin Da took the microphone, his gaze calmly sweeping across the audience. His Speech Manipulation (Intermediate) skill quietly activated at this moment, and his voice, gentle and magnetic, clearly spread throughout the entire venue:

”It is a great honor to have the opportunity to portray such a captivating character as Wei Zhongxian. For me, the process of shaping this character was more like a journey of dialogue with history and a game of chess with human nature.”

”I have always believed that no matter the size of the role, whether good or evil, deep within, there must be something worth exploring and understanding. The historical figure Wei Zhongxian may be controversial, but in the drama the chronicles of the great ming dynasty, he is more like a complex individual caught in a whirlpool of power, swept forward by the currents of his era.”

”I hope that through my portrayal, the audience will see not just a stereotypical ’villain,’ but a flesh-and-blood ’person’ with struggles, helplessness, and even... a hint of warmth.”

His words were neither humble nor arrogant, not only showcasing his profound understanding of the character but also subtly raising the audience’s expectations for the role of Wei Zhongxian.

In the audience, many industry insiders nodded in approval, expressing their appreciation for Lin Da’s insights. Even Qin Mu Feng, Old Qin, sitting at the main table, a hint of imperceptible satisfaction flashed in his clouded eyes.

However, just as Lin Da was about to hand the microphone back to the host, a somewhat abrupt voice rang out from a corner of the guest section:

”Teacher Lin’s words are truly more pleasant to hear than a song! I just wonder if these ’profound insights’ are Teacher Lin’s own genuine feelings, or... ’standard answers’ pre-arranged by some esteemed expert?”
