"Certainly, a five-second divine performance, who else can be shorter than her?"
"Winning two gold awards consecutively, even if she never acts again, she can brag about it for a lifetime."
"This five-second scene was so stunning, it must have taken Jiang Ling a lot of time to film, right?"
"That's for sure. A minute on stage requires ten years of practice off stage. Such an extraordinary, soul-stirring glance must have taken at least a month to film, with hundreds of retakes, selecting the best out of the best, to achieve such excellent results."
Hearing the younger generation say that Jiang Ling's scene took a long time to shoot, the old fans couldn't help but want to laugh.
Back then, Jiang Ling only took an hour to film this scene, and that included travel time and changing costumes.
If those were deducted, the time taken was even more frighteningly short.
It was rumored that Jiang Ling filmed this scene in just one take, astonishing director Dong Haisheng so much that he almost doubted his own life.
Hundreds of retakes?
Heh, you're underestimating my Ling Jie too much, aren't you?
Her nickname "One-Take Jiang" wasn't given for nothing.
For many years, the three major gold awards have been the highest honors in the Long Country film and television industry. The prestige of these awards has not diminished due to the prevalence of traffic. On the contrary, it was significantly elevated sixteen years ago.
And this acting genius, who made winning awards incredibly difficult and was considered a once-in-a-millennium talent, was none other than Jiang Ling.
For other actors, winning a gold award was already extremely difficult, almost as easy as drinking water.
Back then, Jiang Ling's acting prowess exploded. Every one of her works was critically acclaimed and a commercial success. Every time she was nominated, she won.
The judges for the gold awards, upon seeing Jiang Ling's name, felt a mixture of love and hate.
They loved her acting, which always brought them surprises.
They hated her overpowering presence, with her name appearing on the lists for several consecutive years.
If they gave her the award, it was too frequent, making the three major gold awards seem like they belonged to her family.
If they didn't give it to her, it would be a disservice to her brilliant performances, and the audience would question the fairness of the gold awards. She acted so well, why give the award to someone else? Was there some foul play?
As a last resort, the three major gold awards had to increase the difficulty of the selection process.
Unexpectedly, just as the organizers announced the increased difficulty in selection, Jiang Ling retired from the entertainment industry shortly after.
Subsequently, a global economic crisis broke out, and the entertainment industry faced a capital winter. After several years of ups and downs, the selection rules for the three major gold awards remained unchanged.
This led to very few recipients for the other two awards in the past decade, apart from the Golden Peony.
Therefore, among the younger generation of audiences, the three major gold awards were extremely difficult to obtain.
Usually, the only one attainable was the Golden Peony Award.
They simply couldn't believe that someone could win two gold awards consecutively with just five seconds of screen time.
After the video was broadcast that night, the entire entertainment industry exploded.
What kind of person was this Jiang Ling?
How could she be so incredible?
At this moment, not only were the celebrities within the industry silenced, but even the brainless fans in the fan circles were speechless.
Because the idols they adored, upon hearing that they were nominated for the Golden Peony Award, would send out mass messages to celebrate and post on Weibo to express their pride.
And this was just a nomination.
If they actually won, they would likely celebrate for three days and three nights.
But Jiang Ling, on the other hand, won two gold awards at once. When she went on stage to accept the awards, her expression was calm and indifferent, as if she had simply gone to the wet market to buy groceries.
With such a stark contrast, how could they not be shocked?
