Chapter 139
This is the youngest TV King in the history of Stars and he is also the most high-profile genius in the entertainment industry.
One year, two plays. Double nomination, Best Actor.
The end result of all this vocabulary aggregation is:
When Xie Xichao came out of the venue, he took the person away almost in the gap between the media.
Xing Shuo’s live broadcast was overwhelmed within half a minute after the host announced Jie Xichao’s name. The speed of server maintenance and expansion could not keep up with the speed of the public opinion explosion. It hasn't been repaired yet. Offline, Xie Xichao was surrounded by the bodyguard team that Qi Yin had hired at a high price. He was surrounded by reporters who had heard the news and were staring at the camera. Even the fans who had come specially for the event were squeezed outside the cordon.
The reporters seemed more excited than Xie Xichao himself. If the bodyguard hadn’t stopped him, the camera would have been pointed directly at Xie Xichao’s face—
One even came close to doing so. He shouted, "Jie Xichao, do you have anything to say about becoming the youngest TV King in the history of Xingshuo? Did you know this result in advance?" while overcoming all difficulties and trying to squeeze into the crowd. In the chaos, his camera slipped out of his hand and was about to fall onto the red carpet in a parabola.
The next moment, a white and slender hand caught it in mid-air in time and handed it to the reporter.
"Be careful." Xie Xichao said.
At that moment, everyone fell into an eerie silence.
Night has fallen. The gorgeous and luxurious venue was still illuminated by lights as bright as day. The young man in the black suit had a tall figure and a handsome face, and his eyes still had the gentleness and calmness that everyone was familiar with.
At that moment, the same thought emerged in everyone's mind:
This is really a human...
Rather than a god who accidentally fell into the mortal world?
In this moment of stunned silence, Xie Xichao was quickly taken away from the venue by bodyguards in a car.
The Xingshuo Award Ceremony came to an end at this moment, but this marked the beginning of the complete explosion of Li Xichao's popularity.
-
Almost one minute after the news of Xie Xichao's winning the award reached the Internet, Weibo crashed.
It collapsed very suddenly, leaving nothing but a blank space. If you ask, it's a server error. If you ask again, it's endless freezing and loading. Fang Qingqing suspected that if her so-called love affair with Jie Xichao or her becoming a nun was true, it would only be a small part of the current spectacle after being exposed.
At this point, she finally understood how prescient Xi Chao's somewhat strange question was.
But she, and everyone else in Jie Xichao's studio, no longer had the leisure to make fun of this.
From the moment she learned about the award, Fang Qingqing contacted the public relations department immediately. Her tears hadn't even dried up yet when Weibo crashed, and she had to desperately pull out tissues while talking on the phone. Because at that time, Jie Xichao's name had already ranked first on the hot search list, followed by a purple-red explosion.
This was the last call she made on her own initiative.
Because wait until she finishes this call. Her phone immediately began to vibrate with calls from the media requesting interviews.
In addition to her, Xie Xichao's several assistants were busy connecting with different departments. Just after dealing with congratulations from familiar industry insiders, the next second, the brand’s renewal invitation came directly to the door. Everyone wishes they had eight hands.
Of course, the busiest department is the public relations department.
During the ten minutes when Weibo was down, they directly contacted a professional public relations company, and dozens of people worked together to develop various contingency plans.
However, they were still dumbfounded when they recovered.
Among the top ten hot searches, the Xingshuo Awards Ceremony accounted for six. Five of them are related to Jie Xichao. The most popular search was a concise, powerful and heart-touching “Fuck!”
Below, the general public has already made more than 100,000 comments on this Weibo post.
And this is just the first hot entry for the first term.
The PR department collapsed.
When Xie Xichao entered the studio, the person in charge who was usually the most socially anxious had been reading the comments with his eyes wide open, and was slumped in his seat for a short rest. Xie Xichao was silent for a moment, and raised two fingers in front of him:
"Brother, what is this?"
The other party said weakly: "Baby, don't treat me like a fool, this is 'Yeah'."
Xie Xichao smiled.
He smiled and said, "Alright, brother. There's no point looking at it right now. And Sister Qing, don't contact the brand yet. Let's take a break."
In one sentence, the entire studio that had turned into a spinning top was saved. Everyone finally managed to tear open a ray of light in the darkness. Jie Xichao ordered a cake, and also ordered milk tea and coffee for everyone. A group of people sat in the office without any image waiting for takeout. Take a short break and recharge.
At this moment, the time is almost approaching midnight.

In fact, despite being busy, everyone knows that, at least in terms of public opinion, the public relations department cannot really play any major role for the time being.
This is no ordinary hotspot. Either Xie Xichao has taken on another big-budget drama directed by a famous director, or one of his magazine looks has gone viral. It is not some black material that requires crazy efforts to turn the tide.
First of all, winning an award is a happy event. Secondly, he won the Star Award. An award that everyone knows about. An award that truly stands at the pinnacle of the film and television industry.
Xie Xichao won the Best Actor Award at the Starry Night Awards tonight, which means that at least in the field of TV dramas, a considerable number of authoritative experts believe that he has reached the pinnacle. And this matter will be told to everyone through live broadcast and text reports.
Isn't it incredible? It's really incredible.
His age, qualifications, and acting experience. Each one of them breaks Xing Shuo's previous records for Best Actor.
Is it true?
It is an established fact.
Accident and fact, these two words are connected to the Star Emperor. It is enough to cause a cosmic explosion in the entertainment industry.
Such is the power of top awards. After all, what Xie Xichao received is an honor that countless actors in the industry are vying for, but may never get in their lifetime.
No actor or agency can control the situation under such heat.
Xie Xichao is now the boss of the studio, and his words always have an effect. By now everyone had calmed down from their anxiety and came over to hug and congratulate him. Then I started to eat supper while continuing my busy work.
Only Fang Qingqing looked at him and whispered, "You already knew it, Xichao."
Jie Xichao said "hmm".
"Guess." He paused, "Actually I'm not sure. I just feel that if they can't make up their mind, they will prefer this type of movie and protagonist."
It was for this reason that he had a hunch that "Tao Xia" would win the award.
If the judges had no special prejudice against him, they would have nominated him, so he should have won the Best Actor award.
certainly. There were also unexpected things for Xie Xichao.
For example, the current trend of public opinion is much better than he expected.
-
Xie Xichao has a clear understanding of his own positioning.
On the road to becoming an actor, he is not a professional. Once you enjoy the traffic dividend, you are destined to accept the negative impact it brings.
For example, a fan circle that is more capable than that of ordinary actors, but at the same time has a larger base and more complex components, and a huge but not completely positive popularity among passers-by. Another example is prejudice.
There is nothing much to say about the fan circle. No matter how flawless an idol is, they will have some problems once their fan base increases. In comparison, apart from being a little more career-oriented, the overall ecology of Xie Xichao's fans is relatively healthy.
As for the former, I don’t know if the "Tao Xia" incident taught the fan circle a lesson. Xie Xichao once thought that there would be some concerns about "being criticized outside for not being worthy of the position", but after looking around, there were almost no such concerns. Everyone is basically quietly promoting the product in the hot search square, occasionally replying to the super topic in a daze: "Family, I am not dreaming..."
Jie Xichao saw it and laughed.
Apart from that, there are the comments of passers-by.
There is no doubt that Xie Xichao's popularity is at the top of the domestic entertainment industry. But his reputation is far inferior to that of some professionally trained but non-popular actors.
It’s not that he is unprofessional, nor that he has any scandals. This is purely because the public still has a stereotype about "traffic idols" as a whole. So when nothing happens, in the eyes of the general public, he is a top star with many fans and good reputation. Once he gains honors beyond his "idol status" and his popularity breaks through the circle, the label of "traffic idol" will begin to have a negative impact on him.
After all, the reason for all this is that Jie Xichao was walking on a path that no one had ever walked on.
He has both a loyal fan base and a positive national reputation, which are difficult for ordinary stars to have at the same time. As a result, his image is extremely fragmented in the eyes of passers-by who do not know the truth.
He had a difficult road to transformation. Even though the momentum was favorable when the nominations were first announced, Xie Xichao still prepared himself for the worst.
And at this moment, after seeing the hot search comments, Xie Xichao dared to confirm that these divided impressions should have completely become a thing of the past.
The comments from passers-by are divided into two parts, one part is from professional film review bloggers.
Thanks to the two roles of Jingyin and Tao Yan, Xie Xichao is now the darling of almost all film review bloggers. Almost immediately after he won the award, several bloggers risked their internet connections to post on Weibo:
"Congratulations to Xi Chao! Xing Shuo is the youngest TV King. His future is limitless. PS: You can express your surprise in the comments on my Weibo, but don't let me see comments like 'why?' He has indeed created miracles and surprises. Based on his acting skills alone, he deserves this award."
"I guessed it would be given but I didn't dare to say it hahaha, it has to be Xing Shuo, amazing! I look forward to Xi Chao's next new drama!"
"Oh, this entry is so popular, it's worthy of being a top streamer. Are the fans scared? Hhh, if you fans paid more attention to my previous 'Purple Star' remarks, you wouldn't be so scared... What is a Purple Star? How can you be called a Purple Star if you climb up step by step according to the rules? Come on, Teacher Xiaojie, come on!"
Even the film review bloggers who always claim to be neutral say this, not to mention the fans who just watch the show for the sake of watching it.
The comments under "Tao Xia" on Weibo are basically all check-ins to celebrate. Dou Fei did not dare to post a comment on "Xun Xian Ji" due to concerns about the male lead, but not long after, Dou Fei took the initiative to post a congratulatory Weibo, and Jie Xichao also replied to him. The interaction between the two was frank and sincere, which made fans of the drama feel relieved and increased their favorability towards the two.
Of course, there are also discordant remarks.
They should be the internet trolls of a rival company, pointing the finger at Jie Xichao, saying that he won the award purely because of his traffic value, and that Xing Shuo was destroying his own reputation by giving him the award.
However, these remarks were later largely drowned out by congratulations and surprise.
At this point, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Are you happy?
To be honest, Xie Xichao was happy.
No one doesn't like to hear affirmation and praise, and people whose emotions are not easily affected by the outside world are no exception.
This night was destined to be a sleepless night for his studio. Xie Xichao had schedules the next day, so after rewarding them, he went back home to catch up on some sleep.
His parents were waiting for him, and in the living room was a glass case for makeshift trophies. That night, Jie Xichao had a rare dreamless night. The next day, he started his next shooting schedule.
And for a long time afterwards, his popularity remained at an astonishing level.
The entertainment industry is such a real world.
Before Xie Xichao won the award, he already had many fans who liked his acting skills. But it was not until this moment that he seemed to have truly transformed from an idol into a real actor.
His starting point as an actor is the end point for countless others. This matter sounds gorgeous and yet sensationally harsh. Even the members of his studio couldn't help but sigh: "Is this Ziweixing? It really doesn't follow the ordinary path."
Xie Xichao laughed when he heard this, and then asked him, "Very empty?"
The other party was alert: "Baby, what are you going to do?"
Xie Xichao said innocently: "I'm not alive."
He paused, "But I think someone is going to find you a job soon."
other side:?
Xie Xichao's words are very meaningful. Everyone who has worked with him has this experience:
Never try to question Jie Xichao. What Xie Xichao said is right.
So three days later, with the PR department on alert 24 hours a day, they came up with this popular post:
[I say, enough is enough. You have been praising a certain celebrity named Jie for half a month. His acting skills are indeed okay, but there are so many veteran actors in the entertainment industry. They all say he is a Purple Star. I think Xuan Yang is the biggest Purple Star in the entertainment industry. He got the Best Actor award by borrowing someone else's script from The Investiture of the Gods. What value does it have? It's really rebellious.]
This hot topic was bought for headlines. It soon spread rapidly.
In just a few dozen minutes, it received thousands of likes and comments.
