Chapter 801: Creating a quarrel without quarreling

The Golden Eagle Awards is a rare event in the domestic television drama industry. Because of its low threshold and emphasis on traffic and commerciality, it often attracts many young artists and celebrities.

Its value ranks last among the three major domestic TV drama awards, but its popularity and discussion have always been the highest.

Gu Wei and Zhao Liying are old friends of the Golden Eagle Awards. They have won the Golden Eagle Best Actor and Best Actress awards respectively. Zhao Liying was also the Golden Eagle Goddess in 2014.

Given their fame and status, it was natural that they were the last to appear on the red carpet.

After chatting for a while in the waiting area, a staff member came to inform them that Gu Wei and Zhao Liying would walk onto the red carpet together.

It was already late at night, but the various lights around made the area near the red carpet as bright as day.

A short red carpet was laid in front of a huge background wall, and the other side was crowded with various media reporters, and behind them stood many fans and spectators who came to the scene.

As soon as Gu Wei in a black suit and Zhao Liying in a blue princess dress appeared, the audience was filled with deafening cheers and shouts.

"Gu Wei! Look over here!"

"Liying is so beautiful!"

"Hubby, I love you!!"

“.”

At the same time, the cameras in the hands of the media kept flashing and the sound of "clicking" was endless.

Gu Wei and Zhao Liying both had their signature smiles on their faces, occasionally waving to fans and media as they walked forward.

Both of them are top stars who have been in the industry for many years. They have experienced countless award ceremonies of all sizes and are very familiar with handling such scenes.

They quickly walked to the autograph board, stood still and posed for photos for the media.

"Welcome Gu Wei and Li Ying! The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is so pleasing to the eyes. It makes people's eyes light up."

The outdoor host on the side said a welcome speech loudly, then came over to chat with the two of them.

Class is everywhere in the entertainment industry, just take the red carpet as an example.

Small stars often go first, leaving the real heavyweights to take the stage last.

When ordinary stars walk into the photo area, the host will simply introduce their names, and after taking two photos, the staff will urge them to leave.

For people like Gu Wei and Zhao Liying, the host will come up to talk and interact enthusiastically, and the media below also hope that the two can talk more and they can take more photos.

The two answered several questions from the host respectively, ended the red carpet segment and walked into the backstage.

"Your fans are so enthusiastic. When I was walking on the red carpet just now, I saw some little girls almost crying with excitement when they saw you."

As the two of them walked towards the venue, Zhao Li said casually.

Gu Wei shrugged, "I'm used to it. I've always been against fans being too fanatical about chasing stars. I don't think it's a good thing.

If you like me, just watch my work. There is no need for any other actions."

"Haha, you are the real man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. Other stars will definitely complain about you when they hear you say that."

"What are you complaining about me?"

Zhao Liying smiled and looked at Gu Wei: "You are obviously recognized as the star with the largest number of fans and the most united in the domestic entertainment industry, but now you say that you don't want fans to chase you. It's too Versailles."

Gu Wei spread his hands and said: "I am speaking the truth. Even if all my fans disappear one day, I will not be in vain thanks to my works."

“Okay, okay, I know that you, Gu Daxing, rely on your works.

Isn’t there a saying circulating online: “Anything Gu Wei produces must be top-notch!”

"Haha, I didn't notice that." Gu Wei laughed.

Gu Wei and Zhao Liying's seats were also arranged together in the backfield, in the middle of the first row, very conspicuous.

Soon the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony officially began, and hosts He Jiong and Liu Tao took the stage.

The two of them first gave an opening speech, and then He Jiong began to introduce the celebrity guests present today one by one.

The first person mentioned was this year's Golden Eagle Goddess Song Qian, who was wearing a pink long dress and sitting in the first row on the right.

The camera turned and Song Qian greeted the camera with a smile after being called out.

I don’t know if it’s because she’s pretending, but Song Qian doesn’t look very good today. Tao Hong, who’s sitting next to her, is more than ten years older than her, but her skin looks much better than hers.

".The people here today are old friends from the Golden Eagle Awards, and many of them are in pairs, like Uncle Gu and Minglan."

It was Gu Wei and Zhao Liying's turn. After He Jiong finished speaking, the two stood up with a smile and waved to the audience behind them. An unprecedented burst of enthusiastic screams rang out in the venue.

Other stars also looked over.

Tan Songyun, who was also sitting in the first row, looked at Zhao Liying enviously.

Her appearance style is actually somewhat similar to Zhao Liying, both of them have cute little round faces.

However, in terms of fame and popularity, there is a huge gap between them.

Although they are of similar age, the other party is already the most famous and accomplished among the 85 flowers.

She became famous this year because of her roles in "Under the Power" and "In the Name of Family".

New actor Yu Shuxin, who was sitting in the second row, looked eagerly at the tall figure in the middle of the front row.

Xinxinzi is a young actress born after 1995. She became one of the candidates for this year's "Audience Favorite Actress" for her role as "Cai Minmin" in "Next Stop, Happiness".

The drama [Next Stop: Happiness] was a small hit, but the female and male protagonists Song Qian and Song Weilong did not reap much benefits. Instead, the two supporting roles Wang Yaoqing and Yu Shuxin became very popular.

The two of them play the role of uncle and niece in the play. One is a mature and steady domineering president, and the other is a coquettish little drama queen who is still in school. Their characters are very likable.

This was not the first time that Yu Shuxin had seen Gu Wei at such an awards ceremony, but every time she saw him, she felt that he was too handsome. He was much more handsome in real life than in movies and TV dramas.

"It's a pity that we didn't have the chance to meet. It would be great if I could work with Gu Wei on a drama."

Yu Shuxin’s idea reflects the voice of most young actresses in the domestic entertainment industry. With his reputation as the “domestic entertainment dad”, which female star wouldn’t want to rely on him and become an overnight sensation?

Unfortunately, Gu Wei’s status is too high, and ordinary people have no chance to watch his plays.

After the opening, as the award ceremony progressed, various awards were presented one after another.

The four most popular awards at this year's Golden Eagle Awards are [Best Actor and Actress] and [Most Popular Actor and Actress].

Among them, the [Best Actor] was awarded to Simon Yam from [Macau Family], and the [Best Actress] was awarded to Tong Yao from [A Flowing River].

After "Nothing But Thirty", nursery rhymes became really popular.

She is also considered one of the late bloomers in the domestic entertainment industry. However, in Gu Wei's opinion, Tong Yao's acting skills are not as good as her fans boast. She just got a role that suits her, and other female stars of the same age are too disappointing.

Nowadays, few people mention the fact that Tong Yao was beaten at school.

It was already difficult for her to become popular in the entertainment industry after that incident. For more than ten years afterwards, she played supporting roles in various dramas and remained unknown.

Until she found a rich husband, and then her resources gradually improved.

He has starred in big-budget projects such as "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" and "A Flowing River".

Finally, he took on the role in "Nothing But Thirty" despite Tong Liya's refusal, and then became a big star.

She is very lucky. First, there are people who support her. Second, there is indeed a lack of actresses of her type in the circle. Finally, she caught up with a suitable role and a popular drama.

After the two of them came the [Most Popular Actor and Actress Awards]. Without a doubt, Gu Wei and Zhao Liying won the awards respectively.

After the announcement of the prize draw guest, the two looked at each other, smiled and stood up.

When walking onto the stage, because Zhao Liying's skirt was quite long and she was wearing high heels, Gu Wei raised his arm gentlemanly.

Zhao Liying also put her hand on his hand and was helped onto the stage.

After receiving the trophy and certificate, the two stood on the stage and took photos with the award presenters.

".Thank you dear audience friends for your voting support. What do you two want to share with everyone at this moment?" He Jiong's voice came.

The two looked at each other, and Gu Wei raised his hand and said with a smile: "You go first~"

"Okay, I'll go first."

Zhao Liying said after a light cough: "Thank you to the fans and audience friends who voted for me, thank you for your support and love.

I would like to thank the Festival Golden Eagle Awards for giving me this award.

I know that receiving this award also means that the audience has higher expectations of me. I will continue to work hard to produce more excellent works to repay everyone's expectations. Thank you!"

After Zhao Liying finished speaking, Gu Wei came to the microphone.

"I am an old friend of the Golden Eagle Awards, and I have come to this stage and stood here several times before.

I think what Liying said is very true. Awards are not only expectations and honors for us, but also a kind of motivation.

It doesn't mean that you can sit back and relax after winning an award. The audience likes you and votes for you, but you also carry more expectations.

So in the days to come, I will continue to work hard to produce better works!

Finally, thank you to every audience member for voting, I will always love you!"

When Gu Wei said the last sentence, he raised the trophy in his hand, and thunderous applause and screams suddenly rang out in the venue.

With the trophy, Gu Wei’s Golden Eagle Award journey was a complete success.

However, Zhao Liying also has the task of being a guest present for the awards ceremony. She and Mr. Lin Yongjian will announce the awards for the [Best TV Series Award].

"Would you like to have dinner together after the party?"

After coming down from the stage, Zhao Liying sat back in her seat and whispered to Gu Wei beside her.

"good"

Gu Wei nodded slightly in agreement.

The Golden Eagle Awards were broadcast live on Mango TV. After the ceremony, many news related to the awards ceremony became trending topics.

For example, Gu Wei and Zhao Liying received awards on the same stage, and the intimate interaction between the two was talked about by netizens and fans.

CP fans of the "Fish Pond Couple" and CP fans of Uncle Gu and Minglan expressed their excitement, calling on Gu Wei and Zhao Liying to work together for the third time and collaborate on a drama again.

Maybe I'm just too fond of "The Story of Minglan," but I always feel that Gu Wei and Zhao Liying have a very different aura when they're together. The two of them feel so comfortable together, like an old married couple, with a very casual and natural atmosphere.

I have watched "The Story of Minglan" at least five times. Whenever I have nothing else to watch, I will watch it again. Like "Empresses in the Palace", it is a classic that I never get tired of watching.

[To be honest, it is hard to believe that there is nothing wrong between Gu Wei and Zhao Liying based on these little actions.

They whispered to each other and looked at each other from time to time, and it felt like they had a tacit understanding.

[Who understands? Gu Wei's gesture of supporting Zhao Liying on stage was so gentlemanly. It felt like a prince and princess in a fairy tale.]

[Don't force a match. My brother and Zhao Liying are just good friends. They've known each other for many years, even back when they filmed "Come On, My Love."]

[From the time they were both relatively unknown on "My Sunshine," to now both winning Best Actor and Best Actress at the Golden Eagle Awards, it felt like watching a real-life inspirational idol drama. This was a meeting at the pinnacle, so sweet!]

[Although my daughter Liying is a career-oriented girl, I don’t object to her being with Gu Wei.

It’s just that Gu Wei has too many scandals, which is unfair to Li Ying.]

Gu Wei and Zhao Liying won awards at the same time, but what was most discussed online was their interactions at the ceremony.

So regular news can never beat gossip.

Gu Wei and Zhao Liying were very popular, but the most searched person that night was this year's Golden Eagle Goddess Song Qian.

Unfortunately, it's not a good thing.

In the second half of the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony, Zhao Liying went on stage to announce the awards.

When she was having a humorous interaction with teacher Lin Yongjian on the stage, the camera suddenly cut to Song Qian in the audience.

Song Qian looked at the stage with a pout on her face, looking unhappy.

When she soon noticed the camera cutting in, she quickly managed her expression and tried hard to force a smile.

The whole process from the corners of the mouth falling to rising is really interesting.

This scene was seen by many netizens and immediately became a hot search.

The fact that the organizer had "washed votes" and Song Qian dropped to first place and Zhao Liying took the top spot was also dug up by netizens, who made various analyses of Song Qian's thoughts.

Mango TV is the "organizer" of the Golden Eagle Awards. Over the years, it is more accurate to say that Mango TV is producing variety shows rather than organizing awards.

Mango TV is best at making variety shows. All kinds of gimmicks and quarrels can be easily created. Reputation and authority are not important at all. Popularity is the most important thing.

Therefore, every Golden Eagle Awards will have a few moments that go viral. In the last session, Dilraba Dilmurat covered her chest with her hands after learning that she had won the award, and Yan Ni showed an indescribable expression.

This time, Zhao Liying was speaking on the stage, and the director, fearing chaos, cut the camera to Song Qian's out-of-control facial expression. It was obviously intentional, just for hype and traffic.

Even if there is no conflict, we have to create one.

Judging from the results, Mango TV is successful.

Those who criticize the Golden Eagle Award can just say a few words during the award ceremony and that’s it. After all, the Golden Eagle Award is still one of the three major awards.

The "beneficiaries" of the Golden Eagle Award, an increasing number of traffic stars, all have huge fan bases. They will continue to support the whitewashing of this award and prevent it from falling from the altar.

Even if it is called a Water Eagle 100 times, the Golden Eagle is still the Golden Eagle, and for those who make the Golden Eagle a Water Eagle, no matter how much they are scolded, it is all in vain. The only thing left is a real glorious stroke on the resume: winning the Golden Eagle Award.

After the ceremony, Gu Wei and Zhao Liying had some midnight snack and then returned to the hotel together.

Zhao Liying, who had not been seen for a long time, was very enthusiastic to exchange skills with Gu Wei.

Although her body is small, she has great energy and tries various difficult postures under Gu Wei's manipulation.

"Lift your legs"

"what?"

"Splits, big splits"

"You're so annoying."

Despite saying this, Zhao Liying still did as she was asked. Although it took some physical effort, she ultimately enjoyed it.
