Yan Wenyi looked at the audience and smiled, then slowly began her announcement, "The winner of the Best Newcomer Award is… 'Floating and Sinking', Su Yuqing!"
Aside from Su Yuqing, who wasn't surprised, everyone else was quite taken aback.
Even though Su Yuqing's acting was noteworthy, the others who were nominated weren't far behind.
The award truly hung in the balance.
Of course, that was the perspective of most people, but in the eyes of the judges, Su Yuqing's acting was much more mature, especially evident in her handling of subtle emotional shifts.
Generally, all nominated newcomers are the best of their peers, but Su Yuqing stood more than a notch above the rest; her performance in the entire movie was not only progressively layered, but what mattered most was its consistency.
Consistency is the rarest quality to find.
The camera and spotlight instantly swiveled to Su Yuqing, who wore an impeccable smile on her face.
