In the early morning of September 7, Beijing time, 39-year-old actress Xin Zhilei won the Venetian Best Actress Award, becoming the second mainland Chinese actress to win this honor after Gong Li (won the award for "Qiu Ju's lawsuit in 1992). She is also the first Chinese "post-85" actress in the history of the Venetian Film Festival.
On September 10, after returning to China, Xin Zhilei was interviewed by Sina and revealed that after winning the award, her mobile phone was about to explode. Almost all friends who knew and worked with her sent her blessings.

She specifically mentioned that she received blessings from Gong Li, who is also the best actress in the Venetian Film Festival, through a mutual friend. "She said she had seen my works and thought they were all very good, and she was particularly proud of me."
Zhou Xun, who worked with Xin Zhilei on "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", also sent her blessings. What made Xin Zhilei feel particularly heartwarming is that many actresses of her generation also sent congratulatory messages.
Zhao Liying used the character identity in the movie "Qiao Yan's Thoughts" and continued to call the sister Xin Zhilei in the movie "Big Sister", saying, "Big Sister, I'm really happy for you." Ni Ni, who has a very personal relationship with Xin Zhilei, said, "I'm envious and jealous, but I don't hate you, I'm proud of you, dress up well and give us a face!"
The sisters and younger brothers, including Qin Lan, Qin Hailu, Di Lieba, and other sisters and brothers who formed deep friendships in the program "Flowers and Boys", also sent messages to Xin Zhilei. Xin Zhilei said with emotion: "Everyone congratulated me sincerely and was happy for me. I feel so happy."

However, Xin Zhilei also noticed that some netizens belittled other actors because of her award. "I'm quite sad. I don't think it should be like this atmosphere. Everyone is making progress together and shining on their own. Why can't they celebrate together? Right?"
