Chapter 292 The much-questioned Liu Yifei

When the TV series "Zhu Xian" was popular, the 16th China Film Huabiao Awards held an awards ceremony at the Yanqi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center, and CCTV Film Channel broadcast it live.

The Huabiao Awards is one of the three major film awards in mainland China, and the organizer is the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. No artist dares not to give it face.

Almost all the nominated celebrity artists were present.

VOYAH is a high-end smart electric vehicle brand under Dongfeng Motor Group and is the designated reception vehicle for this year's Huabiao Awards Ceremony.

Both "The Witch" and "Go Away Tumor Man" are related to Yang Hao. According to convention, Yang Hao can attend any crew.

After much deliberation, Yang Hao decided to walk the Huabiao red carpet with Liu Yifei.

Yang Hao and Liu Yifei were arranged by the organizer to appear later in the show. At this time, they were sitting in the Lantu car to rest.

"Yang Hao, do you think I can win the prize?"

Liu Yifei cares a lot about the Huabiao Film Queen Award.

If I win the Huabiao Award for Best Actress, I'm afraid my status will surpass that of Da Mimi and Liu Shishi.

When Liu Yifei thought about winning the Best Actress award, beating both Da Mimi and Liu Shishi, she couldn't help but grin.

"I want to hear the truth. You can say whatever you want. I don't care." Liu Yifei added, fearing that Yang Hao would deceive her with lies.

"Fei Fei will definitely win the Best Actress award." Yang Hao said firmly without hesitation.

"Really?" Liu Yifei looked at Yang Hao suspiciously.

Liu Yifei is still self-aware and knows that the probability of her winning the award is almost zero.

I never expected that Yang Hao would say that he could win the award, and he said it so confidently.

"Of course it's true. Feifei is the best in my heart and the queen of cinema in my heart." Yang Hao stared at Liu Yifei's eyes affectionately and said deeply.

As a veteran in the love field, dealing with this kind of problem is a piece of cake.

Only straight men would say that the other person has no hope of winning the award.

The more a woman says she doesn't care, the more she cares.

If you really say that she has no hope of winning the award, I guarantee she will be very angry with you.

Sometimes what women really want is a man's attitude. Yang Hao made it clear that she is the movie queen in his heart. This kind of seemingly corny love talk directly made Liu Yifei smile.

"Hehe! Yang Hao, you are also the best actor in my heart." Liu Yifei said this with blushing cheeks.

At this moment, Liu Yifei really wanted to throw herself into Yang Hao's arms, feel his warmth, feel his smell, and feel his strong arms.

But this was the Huabiao Awards red carpet after all, and with countless candid shots, Liu Yifei could only restrain her inner impulse.

At this heartwarming moment, the staff of the Huabiao Awards knocked on the car window.

"Mr. Yang Hao, Ms. Liu Yifei, it's your turn to walk the red carpet soon."

"Feifei, it's time to get off the bus."

Under the guidance of the staff, Yang Hao and Liu Yifei walked onto the red carpet hand in hand.

"Yang Hao~Yang Hao~"

"Liu Yifei~Liu Yifei~"

"Look here, look here..."

For award ceremonies of this scale, on-site management is extremely strict and tickets are required for entry and exit.

There were actually very few fans who could come to the scene to support, and most of the cheering came from media reporters.

They called out Yang Hao and Liu Yifei's names, wanting them and Liu Yifei to look towards the camera so that they could get the right angle for the photo.

After walking the red carpet, Yang Hao and Liu Yifei sat down together.

The seats for the Huabiao Awards definitely place more emphasis on seniority.

Sitting in the first row were veterans in the entertainment industry, such as Li Xuejian, Tian Hua, Tao Yulin, Ni Ping and others.

Yang Hao and Liu Yifei only sat in the second row, and sitting next to them were Chen Shishi, Zhang Ziyi, Liu Tianwang, Shen Teng and others.

"Director Yang, you haven't asked me to film a movie for several years. You won't have forgotten me, right?" As soon as he sat down, Shen Teng turned sideways and said to Yang Hao.

Shen Teng respects Yang Hao very much. The reason why he became famous is also thanks to "Charlotte's Troubles". It is no exaggeration to say that Yang Hao is his mentor.

However, since "The Richest Tomato", Yang Hao has never asked him to act in a movie again.

It would be fine if Yang Hao didn't shoot any comedies after that, but he shot "Detective Chinatown" the following year. Shen Teng felt that she was capable of this kind of suspenseful detective comedy, so why didn't Director Yang ask her?

Sometimes Shen Teng even wondered if he had offended Yang Hao unintentionally in some way.

But if you think about it carefully, let alone offending Yang Hao, he has never offended even the female stars who have a close relationship with Yang Hao, such as Liu Yifei, Da Mimi, and Liu Shishi.

"Brother Teng, how could I forget you? I have always been thinking about you, but I don't have a book suitable for you now. If I had one, I would definitely look for you."

"Director Yang, let's make a deal. If there's a suitable role, you must remember me, even if it's just a supporting role."

Shen Teng said this sincerely. Yang Hao is so awesome now, and the movies he made are selling well all over the world.

Shen Teng said that he wanted to improve very much.

"Don't worry, Brother Teng, I will definitely find you if there is a suitable role."

It has to be said that Yang Hao's status in the entertainment industry has risen dramatically. Although he was only sitting in the second row, people in front, behind, and around him, including Zhang Ziyi, King Liu, and others, all greeted Yang Hao warmly.

Some of them even ran to Yang Hao to show their faces even though they were several rows away from him, before the award ceremony started.

It seemed as if Yang Hao was sitting there, and that place was the focus of the scene.
-
The Huabiao Awards ceremony started on time at 8 o'clock, while the live broadcast on CCTV Film Channel was delayed by 15 minutes.

As the host came on stage, the Huabiao Awards officially began.

"The winners of the Outstanding Feature Film Award include Wolf Warriors, Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy, Monster Hunt, Wolf Totem, and The Witch..."

Every time the host reads out the name of a movie, the big screen on the stage will play the wonderful scenes in the movie.

There are ten people who won the Huabiao Award for Outstanding Feature Film. Basically, any movie with good reputation and box office can win this award.

Precisely because there are so many awards for excellent feature films, and the value of these awards is not very high, it is appropriate to use this as an opening to warm up the atmosphere.

"Congratulations, Director Yang for winning the award."

Yang Hao, a young player, didn't care about this. He went on stage, said a few words casually, took the trophy and walked back to his seat.

But there was an endless stream of compliments from the people around him, and the mental pleasure brought about by being complimented was much more satisfying than winning the award just now.

Then there were several smaller awards such as the Outstanding Rural Theme Film Award and the Outstanding Ethnic Minority Theme Film Award. Then the host suddenly raised his voice and announced.

"The Outstanding Actress Award will be announced soon. The nominees for this award are Liu Yifei, who played Xiong Dun in Go Away Tumor, and Gong Li, who played Feng Wanyu in Coming Home."

The lights on the scene quickly turned to Liu Yifei and Gong Li as the host spoke. The actors still had a strong sense of the camera, and Liu Yifei quickly posed in a charming manner, smiling and waving at the camera.

"The winner of the Outstanding Actress Award is Liu Yifei. Congratulations, Liu Yifei, please come on stage to receive your award." The host did not keep anyone in suspense. After the atmosphere built up for a while, he announced it directly.

The big screen on the stage was playing wonderful clips from "Go Away Tumor", and all eyes at the scene were focused on Liu Yifei.

But at this time Liu Yifei was completely confused. She really didn't expect that she would win the award.

In fact, not only Liu Yifei didn't expect it, even Yang Hao found it incredible.

The nominees for Best Actress were Liu Yifei and Gong Li. Before the award was announced, almost everyone in the industry thought Gong Li was a sure winner.

After all, there is an obvious gap in acting skills between Liu Yifei and Gong Li, but who would have thought that the Huabiao Awards Organizing Committee would actually give the Best Actress award to Liu Yifei.

"Hurry up and get on stage!" Seeing Liu Yifei still sitting in a daze in her seat, Yang Hao quickly pushed her with his hand.

"Oh~Oh!" Liu Yifei suddenly came to her senses at this moment and hurriedly walked towards the stage.

Standing on the stage, attracting thousands of attention, it can be seen that Liu Yifei is excited but also a little nervous.

Taking the microphone, Liu Yifei gave her acceptance speech.

"I don't know how I deserve to be able to stand on this stage and accept this praise. All I can do is continue to work hard to be a good actor and bring you better works..."

Liu Yifei said many things with red eyes and kept bowing to the audience to express her gratitude.

After Liu Yifei walked back to her seat, she was still feeling restless.

After taking a few glances at Liu Yifei's excited expression, Yang Hao knew that the best was yet to come.

In her previous life, Bai Baihe won the Best Actress award for her role in "Go Away Tumor King", but was questioned by netizens, people in the industry, and media reporters.

When a reporter asked Gong Li how she felt about missing out on the Best Actress award, Gong Li turned to the camera in anger and walked away.

Jiang Wen joked in an interview with a reporter: "I don't know where I was taken by the younger generation. How can I become an old guy just by making fun of myself?"

In this life, Liu Yifei replaced Bai Baihe, and Yang Hao estimated that everything that happened in his previous life would probably happen again.

In any circle, seniority is important. Whenever young people are promoted out of turn, there will basically be a lot of talk.

People's hearts are dark and they prefer to speculate about the dark side. When a young person gets to the top, no matter what industry he or she is in, people will definitely talk about him or her relying on beauty, money, or connections, and no one will believe that this person really has the ability.

Apart from Gong Li, the person who was most unhappy about Liu Yifei's award was Da Mimi, who was watching the Huabiao Awards Ceremony on TV.

"Huff~Huff~" Upon hearing that Liu Yifei won the award, Da Mimi was so angry that she couldn't breathe, and her chest heaved violently.

"Why? I didn't even get a nomination for the Hundred Flowers Awards, so why can Liu Yifei win the Huabiao Best Actress award?" Da Mimi felt very unbalanced at this moment. She couldn't figure out how she was worse than Liu Yifei?

In terms of acting skills, fame, or anything else, Da Mimi thinks she is no worse than Liu Yifei. Why did Liu Yifei win the award?
"Yang Hao, I really won the prize. What you said in the car was so accurate." Liu Yifei kept nagging in Yang Hao's ear excitedly.

"Okay, okay, I got it. Can you stop showing off?" It was the first time that Yang Hao found Liu Yifei so annoying. She kept repeating "I won the award" in his ear dozens of times, over and over again.

"Hmph! I just want to show off and say, I won the award, I won the award..." The more Yang Hao tried to stop her from speaking, the more Liu Yifei wanted to say it.

While Liu Yifei was still chattering, the host announced loudly: "The nominees for Outstanding Director are Yang Hao for "The Witch" and Xu Ke for "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy."

As the host's words fell, the lights and cameras immediately focused on Yang Hao and Xu Ke.

"Let us congratulate Director Yang Hao for winning the Outstanding Director Award for "The Witch"."

As the host spoke, there was huge applause at the scene.

Yang Hao walked onto the stage with a confident smile, took the microphone and went straight to his acceptance speech.

"As a younger generation in the entertainment industry, I feel honored to receive such an honor. I will continue to move forward on the road of film, contribute to the Chinese film industry, and bring better movies to the vast number of fans. Thank you, thank you..."

After giving his acceptance speech, Yang Hao kept bowing and thanking everyone around him.

"Congratulations to Director Yang, you deserve the title of excellent director..."

When I returned to my seat, I could hear congratulations again.

Compared to the overwhelming applause after Yang Hao won the award, the applause Liu Yifei just received was much smaller.

There is no way around it; Liu Yifei's award as the best actress cannot convince the public.

But Yang Hao is different. Although he is younger than Liu Yifei, the box office results he has achieved in the film industry are real.

In particular, the movie "The Witch" was not only a hit in China, but also earned $2 million at the box office overseas, playing a great role in promoting the spread of Chinese culture.

Yang Hao won the award and he really deserved it.

Subsequently, there were various awards for Outstanding Screenwriter, Outstanding Editing, etc., but that had little to do with Yang Hao.

At 11:20, the Huabiao Awards ceremony ended on time.
-
A large group of reporters had already blocked the entrance and exit passages, interviewing each star.

"Congratulations to Director Yang for winning the Best Director Award. Do you have anything to say to the fans now?"

"Liu Yifei, how do you feel about defeating Gong Li to win the Best Actress award?"

……

As soon as Yang Hao and Liu Yifei walked out of the award ceremony, they were immediately surrounded by a large group of reporters and asked all kinds of questions.

There was no other way, Yang Hao and Liu Yifei could only answer a few questions symbolically before they escaped under the escort of security.

In the hotel, Yang Hao and Liu Yifei were having fun.

At this time, various notices about the Huabiao Awards were flying all over the place.

After a heated exchange of words, Liu Yifei snuggled in Yang Hao's arms and opened her phone to check various messages.

"Ahhh..." Liu Yifei was going crazy.

Liu Yifei thought that she would receive a lot of praise for winning the Huabiao Best Actress Award, but she didn't expect that all media reporters would swarm to criticize her.

"Liu Yifei won the Best Actress award, and the Huabiao Awards have no credibility at all."

“It’s right to support young actors, but is it really appropriate to support them with Best Actress awards?”

"Liu Yifei, whose acting skills are not as good as Gong Li's, actually won the Best Actress Award!"

……

All major portals and Weibo hot searches were filled with overwhelming doubts about Liu Yifei winning the Huabiao Best Actress award, and the momentum was extremely huge.

Hearing Liu Yifei's defensive scream, Yang Hao took her phone and browsed the entertainment news.

"Fei Fei, your company didn't spend any money to buy you the notice?" Yang Hao asked puzzledly.

Logically, after the award ceremony, there must be money spent on publicity. Why don’t we see any positive publicity, but only negative news?

"I bought it. I must have bought the notice. How could I not buy it?" Liu Yifei retorted. (End of this chapter)
