This trip to Tokyo is not just for film promotion, but is also full of family affection!

Weng Qianyu also prayed specifically for He Manxi, who was selected for the Golden Horse Award, and hoped that she would easily win the award and achieve greater success.

In the evening, the group held a teppanyaki dinner with the Japanese distributor. Weng Qianyu personally encouraged He Manxi warmly: “In my grandmother’s heart, you are the best newcomer.” He also told her to continue improving her acting skills and make good use of her abilities to help others in the future, which deeply impressed He Manxi. The two were shortlisted for the Golden Horse, and with the film’s song “Happiness Sings”, they competed for three gold medals, continuing the love between grandparents and grandchildren in the film outside of the film.

The four people traveled to Tokyo’s Kagurazaka together, and the atmosphere was like a family reunion! The group of people were so childlike that they tried out the Japanese sticker machine. Unexpectedly, the beautification effect was so strong that they could hardly recognize themselves after the photo was taken. They laughed and said the photo was “terrible”! Next, he challenges the Claw Machine. Weng Qianyu turned into the goddess of fortune and successfully grabbed a set of stickers. Everyone jumped with joy, and the entire joyous process was recorded on video!

Lu Anxian also won a lot of trophies, and the two of them rewarded themselves with autumn seafood. Lin Xiaoqian emotionally shared that life has been a wonderful experience. It is especially valuable for He Manxi to be able to reunite with important friends who have given warmth, trust and help over the years: “The most beautiful sights in life are not just the places you walk by, but the people you meet along the way.”
