[Reporter Zhong Zhi Gson/Taipei Report] The shortlist of the 63rd Golden Horse Awards will be announced grandly the day after tomorrow, on October 1. Four new generation "Award Ambassadors" will be pushed to the front line to receive shocking education! Pei Ziqi, Luo Chen'en, Jue Jun and Zhou Jianyu reunited for the first time today (29). He Manxi, who served as the award ambassador last year, returned to her parents' home as a "school sister" to teach "the rules of survival".
He Manxi said frankly that when she served as the award ambassador last year, she suffered from gastroenteritis, but she was able to keep her body in good shape. As soon as she opened her mouth, she introduced a super-realistic survival rule: "Keep shrinking your belly!" He also reminded the four people that the award ceremony will last for most of the time, so they should sit down for a while and eat as much as possible when taking a break. After all, physical strength is really important.
The most hilarious thing is that Zhou Jianyu originally naively thought that if he had the opportunity to hand the award to Director Ang Lee, he might be able to chat with him for a few words. His fantasy was immediately shattered by He Manxi, and Pei Ziqi next to him even complained directly: "What do you want to do?" The whole audience burst into laughter.
He Manxi recalled that she was really nervous the moment before she actually stepped out last year, but as soon as she entered the ceremony, she only felt "so happy". The experience talk made the four juniors smile and shout "Thank you, senior."
The newcomers also have their own ways of preparing for the big event of the Golden Horse. Pei Ziqi admitted that he was so nervous that he was sweating just from today's activities. As a person with a naturally hot constitution, he even planned to "ice" himself before the formal ceremony. This morning, he specially applied the Golden Horse Mask with a lifting effect. When asked if he was in the best condition to apply it now, he immediately smiled and replied: "Of course I have applied it!"
Zhou Jianyu practiced speaking in advance, hoping that he would not get stuck on words or be too serious. He even joked that if there is an opportunity in the future, he would like to challenge the role of "twins" with the actor Ke Weilin who looks similar.
In fact, this year's award-delivering ambassadors themselves have different backgrounds. Pei Ziqi has a dazzling performance in "The Wedding I Owe You" and has accumulated experience in musicals; Luo Chen'en challenged the big screen for the first time in "Sunshine Girls"; Jue Jun has acted from short films to albums and movies; Zhou Jianyu's "See What Happens Live", "Repair or Not" and "Animal Instinct" were shortlisted for the 48th Golden Harvest Award.

This year’s gifts for finalists and winners include 32 brands and a total of 34 gifts, with a total value of more than 250,000 yuan. Winners can also add electronic wardrobes, health management experiences, electric bicycles, e-book readers, etc. This year’s “school sister” He Manxi locked eyes on electric bicycles at first sight after seeing the list, and made no secret of what she wanted most.
The shortlist for the 63rd Golden Horse Awards will be announced on October 1, and the awards ceremony will be held at the Taipei Pop Music Center on November 22.
