When she went on stage to receive the award and give her acceptance speech, she followed the script given by her assistant in advance and thanked the company, director, and crew one by one. After a pause, she said something that was not in the script.
"I'd like to take advantage of today's opportunity to say something to the audience and fans who are watching the live broadcast. My agency and my manager are all very good people and respect my wishes very much. I like acting very much, and I only want to act in the future. I won't do anything else.
"If everyone really likes me and likes to watch me act, then respect my decision. In the future, I'll meet everyone with my work. When we can't see each other, I hope everyone can live well, love their family and friends, and live a good life together."
After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply to the camera closest to her.
There was three seconds of silence, then thunderous applause.
