The entire Spring Flower Awards was broadcast live. After the red carpet live broadcast ended, the camera turned to the backstage. Fans watching the live broadcast were all looking for the positions of their idols, and the barrage of comments was once again controlled by fans.
Du Yuanzhe sat together with the crew of "Yun Lan Chuan". The award ceremony had not started yet, so they could only chat to pass the time.
He sent a message to Xia Ningmi, but Xia Ningmi seemed busy and didn't reply to his message.
Yang Shiyao saw that he was always looking at his phone and asked, "Isn't Yuanzhe nervous?"
She attended the Winter Jasmine Awards Ceremony for the first time last year. She was so nervous that she had no mood to check her phone. She was worried about what to do if she forgot her acceptance speech, and then she was worried about how to behave naturally if she was not the winner.
Du Yuanzhe put away his phone and said calmly, "Being nervous won't make time go faster. It's better to be calm."
Yang Shiyao smiled and said, "Yuanzhe is much stronger than I was back then."
"I remember that Sister Shi Yao won the Best Actress Award at her first Spring Flower Awards last year."
Yang Shiyao said: "That's exactly why I'm nervous."
Because only those who are strong contenders for the Best Actress award will be nervous. If the possibility of winning is slim, then they will not be nervous.
Wang Ligang said: "Yuanzhe is also likely to win the award."
Du Yuanzhe touched his chest and said, "After hearing what Director Wang said, I started to get a little nervous."
Yang Shiyao smiled and said, "You should be nervous, but you are too calm."
Du Yuanzhe asked, "Is Sister Shiyao going to present awards today?"
Yeung Sze-yao just won the Best Actress award, so it's unlikely that she'll win again this time. But she is the former Best Actress of the Yingchun Flower Awards after all, so it's impossible for her to just come and walk the red carpet.
Yang Shiyao nodded: "I will present the Best Director Award, Director Wang, I may give you the award."
Wang Ligang smiled and said, "Then I'll borrow your good words."
Du Yuanzhe asked, "Sister Shiyao, do you know who the other award presenters are?"
"I only saw a few people, and I didn't see the award ceremony for the following awards."
Best Supporting Actor is one of the last few awards to be presented.
......
After a long time, two hosts came on stage and the award ceremony finally officially began.
Watching the presenters on the stage slowly opening the envelopes and announcing the names of the winners, Du Yuanzhe finally felt like he was attending an awards ceremony and could feel the tense atmosphere around him.
As the awards were presented one by one, Yang Shiyao whispered, "I'm leaving first."
The Best Director Award is coming up soon.
Du Yuanzhe looked at Wang Ligang and asked, "Director Wang, are you nervous?"
Wang Ligang said: "It's not the first time, why are you so nervous?"
Du Yuanzhe was speechless.
Indeed, Wang Ligang has won the Best Director Award more than once.
Ten minutes later, Yang Shiyao stood on the stage, opened the golden envelope, looked at the name on it, and smiled more deeply. She said loudly, "Congratulations - Director Wang Ligang!"
"Director Wang, it's really you!"
Du Yuanzhe was sincerely happy for Wang Ligang and stood up to hug him. You Yingxue beside him also gave her blessings.
Although it was not his first time winning the award, Wang Ligang was still very happy. He walked onto the stage with a big smile on his face and took the trophy engrave with a forsythia from Yang Shiyao.
When Wang Ligang was giving his acceptance speech, Yang Shiyao returned to her seat.
Du Yuanzhe asked: "Sister Shiyao, did you really not know in advance?"
Yang Shiyao: "The organizers have not disclosed the details and have done a great job of keeping it confidential."
Even those who presented the awards did not know about it until the last minute, let alone anyone else.
When Wang Ligang came back, several people congratulated him again.
"Congratulations to Director Wang for winning another Winter Orchid Award."
Wang Ligang said with a smile: "It's up to you guys now. I hope our crew can win more awards."
"The Legend of Yun Lan" was nominated for quite a few awards this time, a total of six, but so far it has only won one, the Best Director Award. They thought they had a good chance of winning the Best Screenplay Award, but lost.
Yang Shiyao smiled and said, "That depends on Yuanzhe and Yingxue."
You Yingxue smiled bitterly and said, "I'm even more nervous."
"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. Let's wait for news."
The awards continued to be announced, and as time passed, it was finally the turn of the Best Supporting Actress award. The award was presented by two veteran actors, one of whom was a golden supporting actress, having won supporting actress awards in the three major television awards, but had never played a leading role.
The big screen showed shots of the five candidates, each trying to maintain a natural expression, and the crew of "Legend of Yun Lan" listened attentively to the announcement of the awards.
The next moment, the winner was announced.
Not You Yingxue!
There was a flash of disappointment in You Yingxue's eyes, but she immediately applauded and congratulated the other actress on winning the award. The more this happened, the more she had to keep smiling. Now the whole process was being broadcast live, and any expression that was not right would be over-interpreted by the media.
You Yingxue knew this very well and quickly adjusted her disappointed mood.
Apart from You Yingxue, the most disappointed person was Wang Ligang. He hoped that the crew could win more awards. Now that the award ceremony is almost over, he is still the only one who won an award, which really does not meet his initial expectations.
As the Best Supporting Actress finished her acceptance speech, it was time for the Best Supporting Actor award to be announced.
The host laughed and said, "Compared to the announcement of the Best Supporting Actor Award, I think the next award winner is more surprising."
"To be honest, when I learned that this person was going to present the award, my first thought was that the organizers were joking, and my second thought was that I was curious about how they invited this person to appear."
The two hosts' concerted efforts raised everyone's expectations, and the live screen was filled with comments asking who would be the award presenter.
The host was probably worried that he would be beaten to death if he kept the secret, so he coughed and said loudly, "Next, let's ask Xia Ningmi, the president of Xia Group, to present the Best Supporting Actor Award to us."
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone was stunned. Just as the host said, they couldn't believe that Xia Ningmi would appear here.
There was a moment of silence, followed by thunderous applause.
Du Yuanzhe was also stunned. He sat up straight and stared at the stage.
The door to the stage opened, and Xia Ningmi appeared in the doorway in a white dress, with her long hair draped behind her and a light makeup on. She raised her eyes slightly to glance at the audience before walking to the microphone.
The barrage has gone crazy!
At this moment, the names of all the stars disappeared, and the screen was full of Xia Ningmi.
Yang Shiyao murmured, "It really is President Xia."
Du Yuanzhe's originally calm mood suddenly became tense. At this moment, he was full of desire for this award. He knew why Xia Ningmi was here, and he was worried that he would not be able to compete with the other people and disappoint Xia Ningmi.
Normally, before presenting the award, the presenter would interact with the audience, but Xia Ningmi obviously had no such intention. Others did not dare to remind her and allowed Xia Ningmi to open the envelope without any warning. There was not even time to play the classic footage of the candidates before everyone heard Xia Ningmi's cold voice:
"The winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award is—Du Yuanzhe!"
Almost at the same time, Du Yuanzhe stood up suddenly and the camera shifted to him.
Du Yuanzhe only had time to hug Wang Ligang beside him before walking towards the stage, ignoring Yang Shiyao and the other person who were about to celebrate with him.
Yang Shiyao laughed: "It turns out that Yuanzhe was lying when he said he wasn't nervous before."
Wang Ligang said: "After all, this is his first award, how could he not be nervous? I could sense his excitement just now."
The camera followed Du Yuanzhe the entire time, watching him walk onto the stage step by step and stop in front of Xia Ningmi.
The two men, one black and one white, stood face to face. Everyone who saw this scene suddenly felt that the two men were inexplicably a perfect match.
Xia Ningmi's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible smile, and she said, "Congratulations."
Du Yuanzhe stood in front of her and looked at her. Xia Ningmi was not a person who could create surprises, but she could always give him the biggest surprises. He restrained the emotions in his eyes and said with a smile, "Thank you, President Xia."
Xia Ningmi handed the trophy to him.
Du Yuanzhe took the trophy, his eyes never leaving her face, and slowly opened his hands.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
A courtesy hug was normal during award presentations, but this was limited to ordinary people, and Xia Ningmi was obviously not included.
The host broke out in a cold sweat and secretly scolded Du Yuanzhe for not knowing his limits. Just as he was about to say something to smooth things over, he saw Xia Ningmi step forward and respond to Du Yuanzhe's hug.
The two of them hugged each other in front of countless people!
The barrage disappeared at this moment, as if it couldn't bear to break this beautiful picture.
Du Yuanzhe hugged Xia Ningmi and whispered, "Qiqi, I love you."
Xia Ningmi lowered her eyes, hiding the tenderness in them.
The two hugged for only a moment before separating. Afterwards, Xia Ningmi turned and left, leaving the microphone to Du Yuanzhe.
Du Yuanzhe stood in front of the microphone holding the trophy and said, "I am very happy to receive this award from President Xia, and I am also honored that the judges gave this award to me. The character of Luo Xun was created through the hard work of everyone in the crew. This award belongs to me and to everyone."
"I will continue to work hard in the future and repay you with more and better works. Thank you everyone."
After giving a brief acceptance speech, Du Yuanzhe returned to his seat with the trophy.
Yang Shiyao gave him a thumbs up: "You are a brave man who dares to hug President Xia."
Du Yuanzhe said with a look of relief: "I was too excited at the time, luckily President Xia gave me face."
Yang Shiyao said: "You should be glad that you are an artist of Qianying Entertainment."
Du Yuanzhe said seriously: "I have always been proud to be an artist of Qianying Entertainment."
Wang Ligang smiled and said, "Come on, President Xia is not here, and she can't hear you expressing your loyalty."
Du Yuanzhe smiled and thought that if he couldn't hear it now, he would hear it if he went home and said it a few more times, right?
After the Best Supporting Actor award was presented, only the Best Actor and Best Actress awards were left. As they thought, Natalie Yeung did not successfully defend her Best Actress title. Since the establishment of the Yingchunhua Awards, no one has ever defended the Best Actor or Best Actress title. This is considered an unwritten rule.
Once all the awards have been presented, the Winter Jasmine Award ceremony will come to an end.
Du Yuanzhe walked out of the backstage with the trophy, and Liu Xu and Xiaopang were waiting for him outside.
Xiaopang said excitedly: "Brother Zhe, I knew this prize must be yours."
Liu Xu said: "After all, it was not a wasted trip."
Several people walked into the parking lot together. Du Yuanzhe spotted Xia Ningmi's car and said with bright eyes, "You go first."
He walked straight to Xia Ningmi's car, opened the door and walked in.
The one driving was Cheng Yu.
Du Yuanzhe looked at Xia Ningmi and said, "Are you so sure that I can recognize your car?"
Xia Ningmi motioned for Cheng Yu to drive and said, "The facts prove that you did recognize him."
Du Yuanzhe said, "I just thought you might not have left yet, so I took a few more glances."
"Qiqi, since you are the presenter, aren't you worried that I won't win the award?"
Du Yuanzhe, who was not nervous at first, became very nervous when he saw Xia Ningmi appear on the stage just now.
Xia Ningmi said: "If you can't win this time, then try harder next time."
Du Yuanzhe smiled: "Are you trying to encourage me to make progress?"
Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows: "It's clearly an encouragement to you."
Du Yuanzhe was speechless: "I really didn't hear it."
He looked at Cheng Yu in the driver's seat and complained, "Assistant Cheng, listening to our conversation just now, did you feel like we were superiors and subordinates?"
Cheng Yu shook his head: "The president always gets straight to the point when he talks to us."
Du Yuanzhe looked at Xia Ningmi and said, "Did you hear that? Assistant Cheng also thought you were talking nonsense just now."
Cheng Yu immediately defended himself: "I didn't mean that."
Xia Ning glanced at him: "Are you so excited about winning the award?"
What I said was incoherent and illogical. I just wanted to say something.
Du Yuanzhe leaned back in his chair, put the trophy beside him, held Xia Ningmi's hand and said, "Of course I'm happy. Every actor wants to win an award. And this award was given to me by you. It's very meaningful."
Xia Ningmi said: "If you like, I can give you a prize every time."
This is not difficult for her to achieve.
Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "Once is enough. You rarely get involved in the entertainment industry, there is no need to break the rules because of me."
Although Xia Ningmi is the president of Qianying Entertainment, her work focus has always been on Xia's company. Qianying Entertainment is managed by other people. Except for some important decisions, Xia Ningmi does not participate in the daily management of Qianying Entertainment.
......
On the way home, the popularity of an entry began to rise and gradually climbed to the top of the hot search list.
#Xia Ning looked at Du Yuanzhe and hugged him#
No one would have thought that after the Spring Flower Awards Ceremony, the most popular person was not the Best Actor and Best Actress, nor the popular stars who attended the ceremony, but the brief hug between Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi.
The live broadcast of the award ceremony had just ended, and the animated picture of the two hugging each other had spread all over the Internet.
"Grain producers, please look over here. Shouldn't you be delighted to see such a well-matched couple?"
"One is black, the other is white, one is hot, the other is cold. Both of them are extremely good-looking. It is unjust for them not to be together. I unilaterally declare that they are the best couple in the entertainment industry."
"President Xia has never participated in any award ceremony, let alone presented any award to anyone. Moreover, with President Xia's status, it is more appropriate for him to present the Best Actor award. Giving him the Best Supporting Actor award is simply a waste of talent. I have reason to suspect that President Xia went there just for Du Yuanzhe. I don't like to ship couples impulsively, but after rational analysis, I think that even if these two are not together, they must have some relationship."
"I agree with the analysis of the sister above. That's President Xia. If she doesn't want to hug, no one can force her. Don't tell me about etiquette. President Xia is not bound by these conventional etiquettes. She is willing to hug Du Yuanzhe, which means she does not reject Du Yuanzhe. With President Xia's aloof personality, not rejecting him is almost equivalent to having a good impression of him. The relationship between these two people is definitely not simple."
"......"
The entry for Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi is filled with fans who support the couple. Some are simply attracted by their looks, some make rational analyses based on their personalities and daily behaviors, and of course some analyze their micro-expressions.
At one time, many micro-expression analysis masters emerged, and they all said that judging from Du Yuanzhe's expression, he definitely liked Xia Ningmi. Although Xia Ningmi's expression was not obvious, her body language showed that she also had a good impression of Du Yuanzhe.
After all the analysis, all the micro-expression masters came to the conclusion that the two people had a good impression of each other.
Fans who support the couple read every analysis post carefully, and then become more convinced that the couple they support is real.
The Ningyuan CP super topic created by Xiaopang previously gained tens of thousands of fans in just a few hours, and the originally deserted super topic suddenly became lively.
Just when the whole internet was obsessed with the couple, a new term quickly became a hot search.
#Xia Ning found Du Yuanzhe couple ring#
@Entertainment: Everyone is paying attention to the hug between President Xia and Du Yuanzhe, look what I found?
The ring on Mr. Xia's left middle finger is exactly the same as the ring on Du Yuanzhe's left middle finger. The brand of this ring is Dam. I have checked this brand. Dam brand rings are very famous and are mainly mid-to-high-end brands. The price of this plain ring is not high. It is divided into single ring and couple ring. Many people have bought this ring, especially after Du Yuanzhe wore this ring to attend public occasions, it attracted a group of people to buy it.
But I don't think Mr. Xia is a fan, and considering Mr. Xia's net worth, this ring is really outrageously cheap. It is abnormal for Mr. Xia to wear such a cheap ring.
I don’t know if you still remember the trending search a few months ago about President Xia being picked up by a luxury car at Qianying Entertainment. At that time, President Xia specially registered on Weibo and publicly acknowledged her boyfriend.
Based on this fact, we can review what happened today.
First of all, President Xia has never attended an awards ceremony. Although she is one of the two giants in the entertainment industry, she has never attended any ceremony in the entertainment industry. If it weren’t for the previous live broadcast, we wouldn’t even know what President Xia looks like. But today, President Xia participated in the Spring Flower Awards ceremony for the first time, and showed up to present the Best Supporting Actor award. After presenting the award, she left the ceremony without even watching the following TV King and TV Queen awards. It was as if her purpose of attending was just to present the Best Supporting Actor award, and the winner of the Best Supporting Actor award was Du Yuanzhe.
In addition, President Xia wore a ring when presenting the award. Coincidentally, this ring was exactly the same as Du Yuanzhe's ring. What's even more coincidental is that both of them wore it on the middle finger of their left hand.
As we all know, coincidences are no longer coincidences when they happen too often! Considering the fact that Ms. Xia already has a boyfriend, Du Yuanzhe is most likely Ms. Xia's boyfriend who has never been made public.
This Weibo post, which combined pictures and text, completely pushed Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi to the top of the trending searches. If the previous hug was just fans' mindless CP support, this well-reasoned Weibo post is evidence in the eyes of CP fans.
Especially since Xia Ningmi publicly admitted that she had a boyfriend, her Weibo post that caused dissatisfaction among countless fans is still up and it is still the only Weibo post she has ever posted.
For a while, Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi became the focus of the entire network.
As soon as Du Yuanzhe and his partner returned to Huahu Apartment, they received a call from Liu Xu and learned that the ring had caused speculation among netizens.
Du Yuanzhe glanced at Xia Ningmi and said, "Don't bother with it. Just ignore it."
Liu Xu's mood was really up and down today, and he asked, "Do you and President Xia have any plans to make your relationship public?"
Du Yuanzhe shook his head: "Not yet."
Not to mention that Chen Rongshan's case has not been dealt with yet, everything on the Internet now is just speculation and there is no need for them to admit it.
Du Yuanzhe hung up the phone and said, "If announcing it now is like being forced by netizens to admit it, I don't want it. If we want to make it official in the future, I will definitely choose the most meaningful time to announce to everyone that you are my girlfriend and let everyone bless us."
Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure it's a blessing?"
Du Yuanzhe said: "I can only see blessings."
Just ignore the bad words and all that remains is blessings.
Du Yuanzhe obviously knows how to deceive himself and others.
......
Du Yuanzhe was very happy to win the award and was in no mood to pay attention to the gossip on the Internet. He cooked dinner for the two of them himself and opened a bottle of red wine that Lu Xuan gave him.
After dinner, Du Yuanzhe turned on the music, walked up to Xia Ningmi, stretched out his hand and said, "Qiqi, can I ask you to dance with me?"
Xia Ningmi stood up and put her hand in his palm.
The two walked to the center of the living room and danced to the rhythm of the music, listening to the soft music in their ears and only seeing each other.
Xia Ning asked: "How many days did you take off?"
Du Yuanzhe said, "I will be back to the crew tomorrow afternoon. I have to go back home early tomorrow morning. My mother knew that I was coming back to attend the awards ceremony, and she called me a long time ago to remind me to go home and see her."
Xia Ningmi raised her eyebrows: "I remember you said your mother is very concerned about your news?"
Du Yuanzhe smiled bitterly: "I know what you mean. I was also thinking, if my mother asks me about the trending search, should I be honest?"
Xia Ningmi didn't say anything: "It's up to you."
Du Yuanzhe looked at her, her shadow filled his eyes, and suddenly made up his mind. He lowered his head and kissed her lips: "My girlfriend is so outstanding, there is actually no need to hesitate."
[It's not good to keep it this awkward. It's better to be honest. It will help promote the relationship between mom and Qiqi.]
Xia Ning kissed him back and didn't pour cold water on him anymore.
The originally warm atmosphere gradually became ambiguous. Du Yuanzhe no longer had the heart to think about returning to the Du family's old house tomorrow. He picked up Xia Ningmi and went back to the room, continuing to celebrate his award in a way that both of them liked.
One hour later
After taking a shower, the two lay back on the bed. Just as they were about to talk for a while, they found that Liu Xu had sent him a message, telling him that the public opinion on the trending search had changed.
Du Yuanzhe immediately opened Weibo, and the first hot search became #夏宁婿fanbble#. The first hot search that appeared when he clicked on the entry was the rumor-refuting content.
@宁宁米米: In view of the fact that many marketing accounts have spread rumors and seriously affected President Xia's reputation, I will use facts to refute the marketing accounts' stubborn and lame Weibo posts one by one.
First, regarding the ring, I am not a fan of Mr. Du Yuanzhe. I specifically checked the time when he wore this ring. It was after he took on the jewelry endorsement. Before that, Mr. Du Yuanzhe also had many public appearances, but there are no photos or texts of Mr. Du Yuanzhe wearing this ring on the Internet.
But Ms. Xia was wearing this ring as early as June, as evidenced by the photos. I don't deny the marketing account's guess that Ms. Xia was wearing couple rings, after all, she does have a boyfriend. But it is very strong to guess that the man is Mr. Du Yuanzhe based on this alone. Have you ever seen a couple wearing couple rings at different times for more than a month?
Some people please stop talking nonsense about avoiding suspicion. Mr. Xia has registered on Weibo and publicly expressed his love, so there is no such thing as avoiding suspicion. Moreover, the man drove a luxury car to the company to pick up Mr. Xia in a high-profile manner, and it is obvious that he has no intention of avoiding suspicion.
Second, regarding the awards ceremony, the Winter Jasmine Awards Ceremony has been held for so many years, and countless award presenters have said that no one will know who the winner is before the actual award ceremony. There are also entrepreneurs among them who serve as award presenters, but they also said in interviews that they would not know who the winner is in advance. These interviews are all documented by video, but some people are just selectively blind.
The marketing account used President Xia presenting an award to Mr. Du Yuanzhe as evidence of their relationship, but in reality President Xia had no idea who would receive the award, so how could he have come to the award ceremony specifically for someone? The marketing account just wanted to get attention by putting the two people together, with malicious intent [Picture]
Compared to the marketing account's Weibo post with a completely fabricated picture, Xia Ningmi's fans' Weibo post refuting the rumors is obviously more credible, and each of their rebuttals is supported by photos or videos.
After this Weibo post was published, Xia Ningmi's fans immediately started posting on Weibo with the topic in mind, and soon the topic became a hot search topic. Then Du Yuanzhe's fans also got involved. They also did not believe that Du Yuanzhe and Xia Ningmi had any relationship. Even big fans could see that the marketing account's Weibo posts seemed to be well-founded, but were actually speculations with a strong subjective color.
After all, Xia Ningmi is Du Yuanzhe's boss. Fans were afraid that this incident would make Xia Ningmi unhappy and were eager to resolve the matter as soon as possible. Upon seeing Xia Ningmi's fans' rumor-refuting Weibo, Du Yuanzhe's big fans decisively organized fans to contribute to the topic and at the same time criticized the marketing account's sinister intentions.
In fact, the efforts of fans of the two groups alone would not have allowed this topic to climb to the top of the trending searches so quickly.
But I can't help but need help.
The organizers of the Winter Jasper Awards also noticed the public opinion on Weibo. They had no intention of paying attention to the gossip on the Internet, but the marketing account used their award ceremony as an excuse to spread rumors about Xia Ningmi. They couldn't just ignore it. What if Xia Ningmi got angry?
Therefore, after the organizers found out that the rumor-refuting post was trending on Weibo, they immediately issued a statement through their official Weibo account.
@Winter Flower Awards: The Winter Flower Awards Ceremony has always upheld the principles of fairness and justice since its inception. Each judge on the judging panel has signed a confidentiality agreement. No matter who they are, it is impossible to know who the winner is before the answer is revealed.
We have contacted lawyers and will not let any rumormonger escape legal sanctions!
Anyone can see the anger of the organizers of the Winter Jasmine Awards at being accused of leaking information, and they did not say anything like reserving the right to appeal. Instead, they said they would get to the bottom of the matter, which made the statement more credible.
At the same time, because of this statement, Xia Ningmi's fans' Weibo posts refuting the rumors became more credible and quickly climbed to the top of the trending search list. More and more netizens believed that there was no relationship between Xia Ningmi and Du Yuanzhe.
After reading the whole story, Du Yuanzhe did not expect things to develop this way. He thought that his decision to handle it coldly would be regarded as tacit approval by netizens, and he was also thinking about how to deal with it if asked about this matter by the media. However, in just a few hours, the online public opinion has changed dramatically.
Except for some CP fans who are still celebrating themselves, other netizens who are just watching the show have calmed down. After all, there is really no hard evidence to prove that the two are in a relationship. Everything is just speculation. Netizens are just watching the show and they don't care anymore when they find that they can't finish it.
The author has something to say:
