Wu Yue, who won the first prize for Best Actress, just appeared at the "Magnolia Blossoms - Excellent Shanghai TV Drama Research and Evaluation Conference" this morning. At the research and evaluation meeting, she shared her thoughts on actors and performances. Now that she has won the Magnolia Award, she is quite moved. "I feel a lot of pressure every day," she said. "The County Party Committee Courtyard" is a drama that she finds the most challenging. "When I first started up, my head was empty because this character was portraying the daily life of a grassroots cadre, which really challenged my creative work and way of reading scripts. But I was lucky that because of this character, I received the best gift in Shanghai."
The winner of Best Actor, Lei Jiayin, said, "This award is heavy in my heart, and I also want to congratulate the nominated male actors. I am honored to be nominated with you. I want to empathize with the audience through the brilliance of my role, and it is fortunate to have a role like Zhou Bingkun."
The Best Screenplay was won by screenwriters Wang Hailing and Wang Dayou from "The World". Wang Hailing said, "This drama is the longest project I have ever worked on in my career, written in my semi underground studio for nearly 3 years. I still remember the day the production team notified me that the screenwriter could stop working and complete the revisions. At that moment, I felt not a sense of relief, but a sense of loss. I enjoy writing and enjoying loneliness. The script is the cornerstone of film and television dramas, and ultimately presents the buildings on top of it. From this perspective, the recognition of the script is the result of the efforts of all colleagues in" The World "."
The best supporting actor was Ding Yongdai, who played the role of Zhou Zhigang, the father of the Zhou family, in The World. When he received the award, he thanked the various departments and actors of the production team for their help and support during the filming. "Just like the song sings, plants will sprout, children will grow, and I will work harder. In order to play this role well, the styling teacher has high requirements and adds special makeup water every day. Everyone has put in a lot of labor for my role."

The Best Director was awarded by Li Lu in "The World", who said, "This is a proof and recognition of my labor. I believe that the award is an engine for artists to start again, and it is a way for us to do better in our future work. All the plays we plan below will also draw more nutrition and nourishment from the masses."
Wang Xiaoqiang won the Best Screenplay award for his performance in "County Committee Courtyard". He stated that when he started writing the script for "County Committee Courtyard" two years ago, he never expected to stand on the podium of Bai Yulan two years later. "Thank you to the directing team of the production team for turning every word in the script into vivid and exciting visuals. I would like to express my gratitude to the 146 outstanding actors for imbuing the characters with soul. In the future, I will continue to respect the screenwriting industry."
The best supporting role was awarded to actor Liu Dan. In "The Beginning," she played a desperate mother and became the soul character of the entire drama. For 36 years, she has been deeply involved in the stage of drama. Liu Dan appeared at the award ceremony wearing a yellow qipao, and before delivering her acceptance speech, she couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably. "I'm so happy. From the day I dreamed of being an actor when I was young, I thought about living a different life. It wasn't until I grew up and became a professional actor that I realized you could only live your own life and find ways to live someone else's life. It was a surprise. Thank you, Magnolia, Shanghai, and" The Beginning ". Thank you all for witnessing this wonderful moment with me." Finally, she choked up. "I am a mouse, and when I was a child, I was very timid. My biggest fear was to let down my job, because it was difficult to play every character well. It was difficult to make every character live like a person."
"I was so excited, I really didn't expect it to be me," said Yu Xiaochen, who won the Best Cinematography award for "Dear Child". "Thank you to the judges for recognizing our film, and I also want to express my special gratitude to the female lead actress Ren Suxi. It was her vivid performance that made this film come to life..."

The humorous words drew thunderous applause from the audience.".
