Ji Yi held the microphone and stood silently on stage for two seconds before raising it to her mouth. "I'm a little nervous," she said.
Her one sentence made the live audience burst into laughter again.
"I'm serious. I'm really nervous."
This time, Ji Yi wasn't over-hesitant to continue speaking.
"Honestly speaking, I really can't believe I won the award for best actress tonight."
"In my hands, this award..." As Ji Yi said this, she raised the award up high. "...feels heavy, real heavy, and this all still feels surreal."
"All I can say is that I'm very lucky. I came across a good script, a great director, a great production team, and a great partner, so although this award was given to me, it actually belongs to everyone who worked hard on 'Jiuchong Palace.'"
