Cheng Hao was wearing a pure black low-cut corseted long dress, with slightly curly long hair falling on her shoulders. She had the plum-colored lipstick that was popular at that time on her lips, and a gentle and charming smile on her face. She looked very elegant and graceful, and looked much more dignified than Li Bingbing and Huang Shengyi just now.
But her gentle smile did not seem so beautiful in Zhang Yuan's eyes.
Even with a hint of murderous intent!
It was obvious that the conversation between him and Miss Li and Miss Huang just now was seen and heard by her as she was sitting nearby.
At this time, Cheng Hao was walking towards him slowly, and every step seemed to be stepping on his little toe... It was very uncomfortable.
"You know so many beautiful actresses?" Cheng Hao came to him, stood still, crossed his arms, and still looked at him with a smile.
"Yes, there is one in front of us." Zhang Yuan praised hurriedly.
"Hehehe..." Cheng Hao covered her mouth and chuckled, then raised her arm to help him straighten his clothes.
When his hand slid down to his waist, he suddenly pinched the flesh under his ribs and then twisted it with force.
Zhang Yuan was attending the online festival of TOM.com, and now his face is as sullen as TOM's.
Eh... Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and endured it.
If he opened his mouth at this moment, he would definitely be able to sing the high-pitched Peking Opera.
Cheng Hao narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly.
She had been eavesdropping nearby.
With her intelligence, she could roughly hear the clues from the conversation between several people.
Li Bingbing should be quite interested in Zhang Yuan, but it is hard to say what exactly she is interested in.
But Huang Shengyi was obviously interested in him, but Zhang Yuan seemed to keep a distance from him intentionally, and even seemed a little resistant.
Cheng Hao thought that the four major actresses selected by this website showed that in the eyes of the audience, these four were the best among the current female stars in terms of both image and temperament.
But these best people are all interested in him.
Cheng Hao thought again, he has always been the best among his peers and people around him since he was a child, but in the end he still fell into his hands.
Now, not only do I have to eat, drink and sleep with him, but I also have to worry about his career, but I am still willing to do it.
I am so outstanding that I can't live without him, so it doesn't seem strange that others would like him.
Cheng Hao, who has always been confident, suddenly felt deeply frustrated and didn't know what to do to completely capture the other person's heart.
She sighed, loosened her fingers that were pulling at the flesh, and immediately touched it again reluctantly.
"Does it hurt?"
"Not bad..." Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and spat out two words.
Seeing him sweating and with veins on his forehead but still maintaining a stubborn attitude, Cheng Hao was successfully amused and his unhappiness was somewhat relieved.
"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to the party?" Zhang Yuan asked after taking a few deep breaths and the dull pain in his ribs gradually subsided.
"Didn't I want to give you a surprise?" Cheng Hao said, turning around.
"Does it look good?"
"You're wearing all kinds of fancy clothes. Are you going for the sexy look?" Zhang Yuan looked at the man's wide collar, which went all the way down to below the chest, clearly going for a sexy style.
"I think it's pretty good." Cheng Hao said while stroking the fabric.
"It's quite different from your previous style."
Cheng Hao has always had a charming and sexy style. After all, the role of the heartthrob left a deep impression on people.
But her sexiness is a more subtle kind, similar to the style of cheongsam that wraps the body and highlights the curves.
This kind of open-neck and backless dress does not really go well with her image.
"Did you choose it yourself?"
"It was arranged by the company."
Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Chengtian’s arrangement. Was it planning to let her transform?
He always felt something was wrong.
Seeing his frown, Cheng Hao suppressed a smile and said, "Why, you don't want me to wear such revealing clothes, and you feel uncomfortable?"
Actually, this dress is not that bad. It reveals a little, but not much.
It's still eye-catching these days, but if it's placed next to the kind of clothes that people would wear on stage by hanging them with two strings ten years later, it would be considered conservative.
But I can't always say I don't care.
"Well, you're wearing so little, I'm afraid you'll be exposed... Oh, you're not wearing any underwear?" As he said that, Zhang Yuan stood on tiptoe and took a look.
"In a public place!" Cheng Hao quickly took a step back and whispered, "She's wearing breast stickers."
"Oh."
The two chatted for a few more sentences until the staff called them to rehearse and then they dispersed.
Soon after, the party began.
After the opening song and dance, the organizer allowed the invited guests to start presenting awards between the programs.
The awards also increase gradually from minor to major.
At the beginning, there were secondary selections such as best shot, best scene, most popular ending song, and opening song.
Not long after, Zhang Yuan was called backstage by the staff.
The next announcement to be made is “The Most Popular TV Series of the Year”.
"Zhang Yuan!"
As soon as he arrived backstage, a sweet voice sounded in his ears.
He shuddered all over.
After arriving at this place, he was afraid that a woman would call him.
I looked back cautiously and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You look so beautiful today."
Now I finally saw the last of the "Four Great Beauties" in the dressing room.
Liu Qianqian was wearing a white turtleneck shirt today, black leather pants and thick black high heels, and a dark wide-brimmed hip-hop style hat on her head. She looked pretty and playful.
"Hey, thank you." Xixi replied happily.
what.
She is still the best. There is no pressure at all when getting along with her.
"I won two awards today." She held up two fingers and said proudly.
"Congratulations."
"Please invite the crew of the most popular TV series of the year, 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy', to come on stage to receive the award!"
Before they could talk for a few words, the host's voice came from the stage.
Originally, the target customer group for online voting is young people, especially college students.
However, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is an adaptation of a game, which already has a strong mass base, so it is no surprise that it won the award.
Even in the annual voting of Sina, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is far ahead in the selection of the most popular TV series of the year.
When Sina saw this, they thought we couldn't do the same as TOM. We announced the awards later, otherwise it would seem like we were just following the trend.
But for the sake of being different, it is a bit unnecessary to falsify votes. If discovered, it will affect the credibility of the website.
So they cleverly divided the award for the most popular TV series into two.
It is divided into the most popular TV series (costume drama) and the most popular TV series (non-costume drama).
And now, the TV series related to Zhang Yuan is leading the non-costume drama voting on Sina by a wide margin.
"Bright Sword"!
"Now, please allow the crew of The Chinese Paladin to give their acceptance speeches."
Director Wu Jingyuan, Zhang Yuan, and Liu Qianqian stood in the center of the stage and spoke one after another.
“Thank you for your kindness.”
“I am very happy to receive this award.”
"We will continue to work hard..."
To win an award, this is all you need to say.
Li Bingbing, Huang Shengyi and Cheng Hao in the audience all smiled and applauded after he finished speaking.
Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan's faces fell a little, but they still clapped in a businesslike manner.
After finishing their speeches, the crew members returned to the backstage and were about to go to the auditorium to rest when Zhang Yuan was called over by the staff.
"Don't leave yet. I'll be with you later."
"Uh...that's okay."
After Liu Qianqian returned to her seat, Cheng Hao saw that she hadn't come back yet and kept asking.
They had acted together in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", so they recognized each other.
Moreover, Cheng Hao is most confident in Liu Qianqian because she has her mother Liu Xiaoli as a line of defense, which is not so easy for Zhang Yuan to break through.
She didn't know that in front of Zhang Yuan, any line of defense was Maginot.
What's more, even if there is a defense, it can't stop the opponent from shooting.
"Hey, where's Zhang Yuanren?"
"I don't know... lost?" Liu Qianqian's mind was completely on the crystal trophy in her hand.
She has just made her debut and is very concerned about winning awards.
Occasionally she would receive a trophy, and even though it belonged to the crew rather than her personally, she still couldn't let it go.
It was not until Cheng Hao asked her a question that she came to her senses and looked around.
As the two were looking for it, they saw a snow-white figure on the stage, holding a cue card and announcing the list of winners.
As the award presenter, Li Xiaoran spoke loudly into the microphone.
"The most popular actor of the year... Zhang Yuan."
Ever since he showed up at WCG, his popularity has been unstoppable.
Zhang Yuan trotted onto the stage, took the trophy from Li Xiaoran, held it high above his head, with excitement and excitement on his face... Even though it was just an act, he had to give face to the organizer.
"Congratulations." Li Xiaoran gave him a warm hug, chest to chest, cheek to cheek, and said in his ear at the same time.
Upon seeing this, the four leading actresses in the audience each showed different expressions.
Li Bingbing smiled playfully, Huang Shengyi's eyebrows twitched, Cheng Hao twisted his mouth, and Liu Qianqian was still playing with the trophy...
Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan, who were not far away, looked very uncomfortable.
"In just this short while, he has gone up twice."
Seeing him frequently appear in public, the two brothers felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in their backs, like a fishbone stuck in their throats...
Your own failure is sad, but your enemy's success is even more heartbreaking.
Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan reluctantly applauded Zhang Yuan again, and at the same time looked at each other with an expression that said "Brother, I understand you".
Teacher Xia Yu, who was standing by, couldn't help but hold back his laughter when he saw them like this.
After receiving the award, Zhang Yuan returned to the backstage.
After handing the trophy to his assistant, he was about to go back to the audience to take a rest, but was called down by the staff.
"Don't leave yet, there's more."
Zhang Yuan: …
It's tiring to stand in leather shoes all the time.
After singer Jin Haixin, who became famous for the TV series "It's All Angels' Trouble", came on stage to sing, the host led the award presenters on stage again.
This time our guest is Mr. Xu Jingjiang.
"This time we're going to award the Best New Actor of the Year."
"Wow, he has given wonderful performances in A World Without Thieves and Kung Fu, so who is he?" said Brother Jin Jiang in his unique exaggerated tone.
Zhang Yuan in the backstage was already feeling a little numb.
I went up and down several times during the award ceremony, just like running back and forth at a sports meet.
Not only was he numb.
After Xu Jingjiang called out his name, Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan in the audience were also numb.
"If I had known I wouldn't have come!" the two said in unison in their hearts.
Watching him win awards one after another, watching Zhang Yuan achieve results and success again and again in front of them.
It made them constantly recall the pain of the male protagonist of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" being taken away.
The key point is that the cameras are filming, this is a live broadcast, and we can't be upset, we have to applaud and congratulate him. "Hello everyone, it's me again!" Zhang Yuan waved after he came on stage.
When he said this, there was a lot of laughter from the audience.
After the speech, he hugged Xu Jingjiang tightly and returned to the backstage together. This time, Zhang Yuan took the initiative to come to the staff.
"Can I leave?"
staff member:……
"Take a rest first, and you can go on stage during the final award ceremony later."
After a break, Zhang Yuan returned to the second row of the audience, sitting in the same row with Cheng Hao and others.
"Come on, brother, sit here." Brother Xia Yu reserved a seat for him, and Teacher Xu Jingjiang also sat down.
All three of them knew calligraphy and painting, so they had something to talk about.
The trophy in Liu Qianqian's hand was almost patinaed. She glanced sideways at Zhang Yuan and then pouted.
"Ah, I thought it was great that I won two awards."
“I didn’t expect that including the crew, he already got three!”
But her frown soon relaxed again.
"He is so amazing. He deserves the Most Popular and Best New Actor awards."
"And the fact that the crew of The Legend of Sword and Fairy won an award was also due to his efforts."
"Well, he is so handsome!" Liu Qianqian thought with a smile on her face.
That is, now Zhang Yuan is sandwiched between Xia Yu and Xu Jingjiang, which further highlights his appearance.
At this time, a big middle-aged man sitting in the first row also turned around and looked at Zhang Yuan who was chatting with someone.
This is the closing guest of the evening party.
Originally this person did not recognize Zhang Yuan, but he kept going back and forth several times and was too dazzling to be missed.
That's why I paid special attention to it.
"Yeah, it looks good."
"And since he has won so many awards, he must be very popular with the audience."
This person thought secretly.
This was followed by various singing and dancing performances and award ceremonies, with people coming on stage from time to time.
In the audience, Zhang Yuan, Xu Jingjiang and Xia Yu talked about Qi Baishi, Yu Youren, Qi Gong and Zhang Daqian, which made Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan sweat profusely.
What are they saying...
The two of them felt uncomfortable all over and felt like illiterate.
Not only will you lose popularity, but you will also lose cultural level!
The two were still puzzled until Zhang Yuan talked about Li Lizhen and Xu Jingjiang talked about Shu Qi.
"Are they both in the art business?"
They are not from the art industry, they are art themselves...
"Next, we will announce the results of the selection of the four most watched young actors and four most watched young actresses at this evening's gala, which are also the most watched by countless online viewers!"
By the time Zhang Yuan and the other two had talked about two overseas stars, Monica Bellucci and Eva Green, the party finally reached its climax.
The person who was sitting in the first row and looking back at Zhang Yuan was also invited by the staff to stand up and go backstage.
"Next, please welcome our heavyweight guest, Mr. Zhang Weiping, Chairman of the Capital New Picture Films, who produced famous films such as "If You Are the One", "My Father and Mother", and "Hero", to present the awards to our four leading actresses!"
The person sitting in the first row just now was the man behind Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping.
Before "breaking up" with Zhang Yimou, he was considered one of the top bosses in the Chinese film industry.
Many people would laugh at this person, saying that he was born into a peasant family and had a background in selling boxed lunches.
In fact, this statement is inaccurate. His first pot of gold came from airline food, and he contracted the airplane meals at the capital and Guangdong airports.
Then he entered the real estate market with the money he earned from airplane meals.
But by the end of the 90s, the wild era of real estate was about to end, and like Liu Xixi's godfather, Boss Chen, Zhang Weiping also began to actively transform.
At this time, he was very lucky to meet Zhang Yimou, who wanted to transform from low-budget to big-production but needed financial support.
The two hit it off immediately and made a deal. With Zhang Weiping's massive financial support, Zhang Yimou became the undisputed number one director in China.
Boss Zhang also made a fortune with the help of Zhang Yimou.
So there is nothing wrong with having him as the finale of the party.
Lao Mouzi is the number one director in China. He is the boss of the number one director in China. Any actor has to be polite when meeting him.
Cheng Hao, Huang Shengyi, and Liu Qianqian went on stage one at a time and received the trophy from Boss Zhang. Li Bingbing was the last to go on stage.
Although they are all one of the four major actresses, it can be seen from the order in which they appear that Li Bingbing is undoubtedly the big star.
Zhang Weiping also smiled particularly warmly when facing Li Bingbing.
After the four great actresses, there are the four great actors.
Xia Yu, Nie Yuan, and then Huang Xiaoming.
The three of them came on stage one by one and, like the previous actresses, received the trophy from Boss Zhang.
When each person took the stage, there was warm applause from the audience.
After all, everyone has their supporters.
Teacher Xia Yu is slightly weaker, while Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming are on par.
At the very end, when Zhang Yuan came on stage as the last award recipient, the audience applauded as usual.
And this applause was much more enthusiastic than that from Nie and Huang!
When Zhang Weiping heard this, he looked at Zhang Yuan again, a little surprised.
I just saw this guy going back and forth to receive awards, and I know he is very popular.
But now Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming are in front, and they both know each other, and they are considered to be the hottest young actors in the TV drama circle.
But it was obvious from the audience's applause that everyone's enthusiasm for Zhang Yuan was much higher than for these two.
I knew he was good, but I didn't expect him to be that good!
"He is more popular than Nie Yuan and Huang Xiaoming..." Zhang Weiping showed the same enthusiastic smile he showed to Li Bingbing, and handed the trophy steadily into his hands.
"Congratulations to our annual actor and actress! Let us give them our warmest applause!"
Online voting is not as authoritative as major award ceremonies.
But in some ways, it's fairer.
After all, whether it is the Golden Horse, Golden Statue or Golden Eagle Awards, there are obvious preferences, political orientations and local protectionism.
When online voting is conducted without human manipulation, there is only one criterion.
Audience favorites!
From this point of view, Zhang Yuan has undoubtedly become one of the most popular actors among young people.
Golden confetti fell and fireworks exploded in front of the stage.
Just as Pu Shu sang in "Born Like Summer Flowers".
As brief as a fleeting moment.
As gorgeous as summer flowers.
I am this dazzling moment.
This dazzling moment belongs to Zhang Yuan and everyone on the stage...
The party ended successfully and ended.
Backstage.
Zhang Yuan, Xia Yu and Xu Jingjiang agreed to study calligraphy and painting together when they have time.
"Sister Bingbing, see you at the company later."
"Good sister, see you in the courtyard later."
I secretly greeted several women privately.
"Zhang Yuan, if you have time in a few days, I will treat you to a movie." Before leaving, Liu Qianqian looked at the three trophies in his hands with some envy and said.
I had proudly told him before that I had won two awards.
I didn't expect that the other party actually doubled my money.
However, Liu Qianqian did not feel jealous at all. Instead, she was very happy for him.
"What are you looking at?"
"It's the latest blockbuster, The Promise." Xixi replied with a smile, "I want to learn and observe the works of great directors and the performances of actors."
"I'm going to start preparing my graduation thesis soon."
Zhang Yuan: …
"Can I not go?"
Besides, if you use this as a reference to write your thesis, it will easily delay your graduation.
"Just think of it as accompanying me..." She glanced around to see that there was no one around, and said in a coquettish manner.
"Okay, okay..."
"Well, okay, I'll find you in a few days." She made a phone gesture next to her ear: "Then I'll go first, bye."
Zhang Yuan waved his hand in reply, then called Zhao Xinxin and told him to leave quickly.
"Hey!"
But when he ran to the back door, he was blocked by someone.
Huang Shengyi came out from the side and walked towards him with narrowed eyes.
"I knew you wanted to run away again!"
"I told you to wait for me and not leave."
Zhang Yuan thought to himself that it looked like he was going to be in trouble tonight.
Although it is difficult, if there is no other choice, I might as well sacrifice my chastity.
"I……"
"Don't talk first and give me your cell phone number!" Miss Huang learned her lesson and this time asked for the cell phone number first.
Zhang Yuan reported a string of numbers, Huang Shengyi wrote them down on his phone, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, we should have a good chat next. Take me..."
"Zhang Yuan."
Just then, a rough male voice interrupted their conversation.
"Mr. Zhang." Zhang Yuan turned around and saw Zhang Weiping who had just presented him the award.
"I just have something to tell you, let's talk while we walk."
"Okay." Zhang Yuan quickly replied, waving at Huang Shengyi: "Contact us later."
He hurriedly left with Zhang Weiping.
Huh... Huang Shengyi held the phone, and when he saw that it was a big shot like Zhang Weiping who called him, he didn't want to interrupt for fear of offending him.
After all, I have offended enough people recently.
She gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, then comforted herself.
"At least the phone call will come this time..."
She just smiled with relief, and then immediately scratched her hair like crazy.
"I've been slept with several times, and all I got was a phone number. I'm not happy at all!"
She raised her phone angrily and dialed the number she had just recorded.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is unavailable..."
Huang Shengyi was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
"He gave me a fake number?"
"what!!!"
Huang Shengyi screamed and threw his phone to the ground, helpless and furious.
On the other side, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Weiping... (End of this chapter)
