Li Bing stood up from his seat and walked towards the stage. As he passed the first row, he stopped and bowed to Fu Yibai.
Fu Yibai nodded and clapped his hands.
The Best Art Direction award was also given to "My Love from the Star".
Then comes the award for outstanding TV series.
The nomination list begins to play on the screen.
As clips flashed by, applause filled the air.

The host paused for a moment.
"The Eighth Route Army, Qiao Family Courtyard, Proof of Memory, Bright Sword, Jiangtang Concentration Camp, Beautiful Fields, The Sky of History, Empresses in the Palace, Soldiers' Assault, Lurking, and My Love from the Star!"
The applause was thunderous.
Morning Light Media has really made a splash this time, with four of its works winning awards.
This doesn't even include the investment shares in "Qiao Family Courtyard" and "Bright Sword".
Fu Yibai stood up and walked towards the stage.
Fu Yibai stood in the middle, holding four trophies, his gaze sweeping across the audience.
The flashbulbs went off everywhere.
Han Sanping clapped in the front row, a smile on his face.
In the back row, Tang Yan, Qin Lan, Liu Yifei, and Yang Mi were all clapping.
The awards ceremony continued.
Best screenplay, best director, best supporting actor, best supporting actress...
The main awards ceremony concluded at 5:40 PM.
The lights came on, and the crowd began to surge out.
Fu Yibai stood up, and Han Sanping said something to him, to which he nodded.
He had only taken a few steps when someone called him from behind.
"Director Fu!"
Fu Yibai turned around.
Tang Yan stood two steps away, a smile on her face.
"Congratulations."
Congratulations!
Tang Yan smiled, her eyes crinkling, took a step forward, and lowered her voice.
Are you free tonight?
Fu Yibai looked at her.
"Didn't I say it wasn't safe?"
"I know, I'm just having a late-night snack."
She blinked.
"Sister Qin Lan is going too."
Fu Yibai remained silent.
A soft cough came from the side.
Fan Binbin walked over at some point and stood next to Fu Yibai, looking at Tang Yan.
"Tang Yan, we meet again."
Tang Yan met her gaze and smiled frankly.
"Sister Binbin."
"Where are you going?"
"I'd like to have dinner with Mr. Fu."
"Sister Binbin, are you coming along?"
"OK.
I'll call Sister Jing again.
"OK."
The two women smiled at each other, but an invisible current seemed to run through the air.
Fu Yibai remained expressionless, caught in the middle.
"Let's call all the people from Dawn together."
Let's all go together.
Both women were taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
"Then I'll go and inform Mimi and the others."
Tang Yan turned and walked towards Yang Mi.
At 7 p.m., a private room in a high-end restaurant was filled with artists and key members of Morning Light Media.
Aside from the annual meeting, this group of people rarely get together.

The host paused for a moment.
"Hu Ge! Chen Jianbin! Wu Jing'an! Li Youbin!"
There was thunderous applause.
Because Hu Ge is still recuperating, his award was accepted on his behalf by someone else.
Then comes the Audience's Favorite Actress Award.
The list of nominees appears on the screen.

"Jiang Qinqin! Qin Lan! Liu Yifei! Tang Yan!"
Amid applause, the four actresses stood up from their seats.
Qin Lan walked at the front, wearing a light purple dress, looking dignified and elegant.
Liu Yifei followed behind her, wearing a white gauze dress and a faint smile on her face.
Tang Yan walked at the back, wearing a pink dress, her figure tall and graceful.
The four walked onto the stage and accepted the trophy.
On stage, they stood in a row, surrounded by a barrage of flashbulbs.
After several awards were presented, the evening reached its climax.
The lights dimmed, and the large screen on the stage lit up.
In the scene, a figure walks out from the starlight.
As the music began, the host Cao Ying's voice echoed throughout the venue.
"Next, please welcome the Golden Eagle Goddess of the inaugural Golden Eagle TV Art Festival—"
"Tang Yan!"
The audience erupted in applause.
In the center of the stage, the lift slowly rises.
Tang Yan stood there, her long gold dress shimmering under the lights.
Her hair was styled into a high bun, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbone.
The skirt trailed on the ground, adorned with tiny crystals, like a galaxy scattered across the earth.
She slightly raised her chin, her gaze sweeping across the audience and landing on a certain spot in the first row.
Fu Yibai was no longer there.
He had already arrived at the side of the stage, waiting to go on stage to present the award.
As the music grew louder, Tang Yan stepped slowly down the rising platform, keeping time with the rhythm.
Her long, golden dress trailed on the floor, each step shimmering with light.
The stage lights flashed continuously.
She walked to the center of the stage, stood still, and clasped her hands together in front of her.
The music faded, but the applause grew louder.
Cao Ying walked onto the stage and stood beside her.
"Tang Yan, congratulations on becoming the first Golden Eagle Goddess."
What would you like to say at this moment?
Tang Yan took the microphone.
"Thank you, Golden Eagle."
Thank you all for your support and love.
Thank you to all the staff of "My Love from the Star".
Of course, I am most grateful to my director, Fu Yibai.
Good-natured laughter and applause rang out from the audience.
Fu Yibai walked onto the stage under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
When she received the Golden Eagle Goddess trophy from the hostess, enthusiastic applause erupted once again from the audience.
"Congratulations."
He handed the heavy Golden Eagle Award trophy to Tang Yan.
Fu Yibai stepped back, gesturing for her to give her acceptance speech.
Tang Yan turned to the audience, her eyes glistening with tears.
"This trophy is very important, but what's even more important is everyone's expectations of me."
I will continue to work hard and live up to the title of Golden Eagle Goddess.
