Chapter 756 Central Air Conditioning
The year-end ceremony of a platform like the Starlight Awards is not as serious as a professional award ceremony. It is more like an annual meeting, and the artists present are more casual.
Before the ceremony began, some familiar stars walked back and forth in the guest area, chatting and joking with each other.
After Gu Wei sat down and chatted with Yang Mi for a few words, Lu Han, Zhang Ruoyun and others came over to say hello.
He also saw Zhao Liying sitting on another semicircular sofa across a vertical row from the first row. Next to her sat Song Qian, Yang Yang and Wu Yifan.
The ceremony was about to begin, but Gu Wei did not go over. He just smiled and waved to Zhao Liying to say hello.
After an opening dance performance by the boy group [R1SE], tonight's Starlight Awards officially began.
Gu Wei sat in the audience and watched the stars one after another go on stage to receive various awards, and from time to time he turned around to chat with Yang Mi beside him.
The first awards given out are definitely some insignificant ones, most of which are given to newcomers.
For example, the TV Drama Actor of the Year with Potential was awarded to Li Gengxi, Liu Haikuan, Wan Peng, Yu Chengen, Zhu Xudan and Zhai Zilu.
The Breakthrough TV Actor of the Year awards were given to Chen Yuqi, Gao Weigang, and Jin Han.
There were also Boys' Group of the Year and Girls' Group of the Year awards, which were given to [R1SE] who just opened the show and [Rocket Girls 101] who performed later.
Gu Wei crossed his legs, clasped his hands together on his legs, watched Yang Chaoyue's performance in the group on the stage, and shook his head slightly.
The young assistant really has no talent in singing and dancing. In comparison, her performance as Ye Ling'er in "Joy of Life" is pretty good.
"Sister Mi, these newcomers in your company have gradually become more famous in the past two years.
The most popular one is Reba, and others such as Zhang Binbin, Gao Weigang, Zhu Xudan and Huang Mengying have also gained a certain degree of fame in the circle.
It's worth it that you've been filming with the 'Jaywalk Gift Pack', all your hard work has paid off."
Yang Mi turned around and glanced at Gu Wei, and felt a little emotional when he thought of Zhu Xudan and Gao Weigang who had just gone on stage to receive their awards.
"When these artists signed with the company, Jiaxing was still called Yangmi Studio. Since I chose to sign them, I naturally had to give them certain resources and opportunities. The fact that they have achieved some fame now is due to their own hard work."
Reba, who was standing by, looked at Yang Mi and opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.
Although she was able to achieve her current top-tier status thanks to Gu Wei's two hit dramas, her boss Yang Mi has been really good to her since she joined Jiaxing. Not only did he take care of her and teach her a lot of things, he also gave her the best resources in the company.
Deep down, she has always felt a certain gratitude towards Yang Mi.
The entire Starlight Awards was broadcast live on Tencent Video, and quite a lot of people watched it online.
In addition to focusing on the stage, the organizer's camera would occasionally cut to the guest seats. After all, the stars are the real focus of the ceremony.
Gu Wei and his companions, who were sitting in the middle booth in the first row, were the most eye-catching of the entire event and were frequently photographed by the camera.
Reba, Yang Mi, Gu Wei, Xiao Zhan, and Zeng Shunxi, five handsome men and beautiful women sitting together, it is really hard to take your eyes off them.
[Oh my god, how did the organizer arrange it? This group of people sitting together is such a beauty-boosting sight!]
[Both The Untamed and Eternal Love are my favorite dramas. I love them all!]
Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji must sit together. I'm such a huge fan of these two!
It seems Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi are artists under Gu Wei, while Reba is an artist under Yang Mi. Tencent's arrangement is quite interesting.
Who understands the feeling of Gu Wei, Yang Mi, and Reba sitting together? It’s like dreaming back to “Eternal Love”, with my aunt, uncle, and Feng Jiu.
Gu Wei and Yang Mi seemed to be talking more, while Reba and Xiao Zhan rarely spoke. It was like the bosses were talking about the bosses, and it was hard for the employees to get a word in.
[Could it be that Gu Wei and Yang Mi have a good relationship? They have been good friends for almost 7 years, starting from the filming of Swords of Legends. Their collaborations in between are unmatched by others.]
[I beg Gu Wei to take my Reba with me. Baba’s outfit today is simply like a goddess descending. I really like her Bai Fengjiu and Qiao Jingjing.
When will the two of them be able to film another drama like "You Are My Glory"! 】
There are many discussions about the Starlight Awards online, and the most popular ones are the people sitting on Gu Wei’s sofa.
The awards were presented one after another, and the ceremony soon came to an end.
Hosts Xie Nan and Xu Zhengxi announced the last and most valuable award of the evening, the [Tengxun Video VIP Star].
Unlike previous years where there was only one male and one female winner, this year Tencent has decided on six VIP stars based on many factors including popularity, traffic, commercial value, and cooperative relationships.
"Please welcome our VIP stars: Gu Wei, Yang Mi, Dilraba Dilmurat, Xiao Zhan, Zeng Shunxi, and Zhao Liying!"
The award presenter, Sun Zhonghuai, CEO of Tencent Video, loudly announced the name of the winner in the center of the stage.
Gu Wei and others stood up and walked towards the stage. Yang Mi and Reba were in front, and Gu Wei followed behind with Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi.
When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Gu Wei signaled Xiao Zhan and the other two to go up first. He stopped and waited for Zhao Liying for two seconds.
I don’t know what Tencent was thinking. They booked a VIP star room for 6 people, 5 of them sat together, and only Zhao Liying sat somewhere else.
Although it was also in the first row, its position was slightly further away than Gu Wei and the others.
Zhao Liying walked up to him, and Gu Wei smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
At this time, Zhao Liying also showed a bright smile on her face. She didn't expect Gu Wei to wait for her. Although it was a very small detail, Gu Wei's doing this still made her feel warm in her heart.
But it’s normal to think about it, this is something Gu Wei can do.
"I'm not wearing a very long skirt today, so I don't need your help to walk up the stairs. Why are you waiting for me?"
Although she was happy in her heart, Zhao Liying would not express it in words.
Gu Wei maintained a gentle smile: "Wait for you a moment, so that netizens won't say that you are isolated."
Although she is very famous, Zhao Liying does not have many friends in the circle. She often attends some evening parties and celebrations alone. Many marketing accounts say that she has a bad personality and no friends, so she is isolated.
"Hehe, only cattle and sheep gather together for warmth, wild beasts walk alone." Zhao Xiaodao couldn't help but retort to Gu Wei, then walked towards the stage.
Although she said this, the corners of her mouth that she could hardly suppress showed her good mood.
Gu Wei didn't say anything, but walked onto the stage with Zhao Liying with a smile.
The award ceremony for the VIP Star was also the most eye-catching moment of the entire evening. From the moment Gu Wei and his companions stood up to the moment they went on stage, they were under the lights and cameras, and every movement attracted the attention of countless netizens.
[I cried my heart out. It turns out Gu Wei was waiting for Ying Bao, and only Second Uncle Gu was thinking about his Ming Lan! !]
It's strange that among the six VIP stars, only Zhao Liying didn't sit with the others. I wonder how the organizers arranged it?
[Perhaps it's inappropriate to pair Yang Mi and Zhao Liying together. These two have been compared for years, vying for the top spot among the 85 flowers. They must dislike each other!]
At today's Starlight Awards, the other stars chatted and interacted with each other from time to time, but Ying Bao remained silent. Luckily, Gu Wei was there. When Ying Bao saw him waiting for her, her smile was truly brilliant!
Although he said he was waiting, in fact, Gu Wei only stood there for about two seconds, just moving from in front of Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi to behind them. If you don’t pay close attention, you will just think that these six people went on stage one after another normally.
Of the four people who had already stood on the stage, Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi had no idea what was happening. Reba looked at Zhao Liying who was walking up with Gu Wei with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
She has never worked with Zhao Liying before, and she probably won't have the chance to do so in the future. She is very curious about this popular actress whose achievements are so outstanding that they even surpass those of Sister Mi.
Yang Mi's expression remained unchanged, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Gu Wei is a real central air conditioner."
Six handsome and beautiful super popular stars stood in line, and Sun Zhonghuai awarded each of them a VIP Star trophy, a star-shaped crystal.
Gu Wei looked down and saw that he had several of these things at home. It seemed that Tengxun didn't have much creativity and the trophies were almost the same every year.
After the VIP Star awards were presented, the six people took a group photo with Sun Zhonghuai, and tonight's Starlight Awards Ceremony came to an end.
When the guests and audience left the stage, Zhao Liying walked to Gu Wei holding up her skirt.
"Want to have a midnight snack together?"
Gu Wei thought for a moment and said with some regret: "It's too late. I'm flying to Taipei tomorrow morning. Maybe next time~"
Zhao Liying also felt a little sorry, but she also knew that work was important and this situation was very normal.
“Is there any activity over there?”
“No, my new movie is being filmed in Taiwan, so I’m going there to shoot.
What about you? 2020 is almost here. Do you have any filming plans for next year? "
"Huace is currently in contact with a costumed martial arts drama, so if there's no problem, they should take it up."
"What's the name?"
"[You Fei]~"
Gu Wei nodded slightly, and asked curiously, "Who is the male lead?"
The original male lead of [Legend of Fei] was Wang Yibo, one of the top stars at the time.
However, without "The Untamed", Wang Yibo is still a little-known figure, and it is impossible for him to act with a top female star like Zhao Liying.
Zhao Liying glanced in another direction and raised her chin slightly to indicate.
Gu Wei looked over and saw a tall figure with yellow hair.
"Wu Yifan?" He was a little surprised.
Zhao Liying nodded.
“We’ve recorded a variety show together before, so we kind of know each other.
Like me, he failed in the film industry, but he still maintains top-tier popularity and exposure. Huace has ideas that could benefit from him."
Gu Wei frowned.
"Wu Yifan doesn't have a very good reputation. It's best not to cooperate with him!"
Zhao Liying rolled her eyes. "Come on, your reputation isn't good either. You have just as many scandals as him. If you look at this, there aren't many male stars in the entertainment industry you'd want to work with."
Gu Wei shook his head and said seriously, "That's not the case. Although I have a lot of scandals, they are all consensual and have a clear bottom line.
Even if all the rumors are confirmed one day, it won’t have much impact on me. After all, I’m not married and I don’t have a girlfriend.”
Zhao Liying heard him say that and grumbled quietly: "Scumbag."
"Wu Yifan is different. I know everything he did. Many of his actions have crossed the legal line. It's only a matter of time before he's exposed.
If I were you, I would rather not take this role than work with him!"
Seeing that Gu Wei was serious, Zhao Liying also started to think about it seriously.
Given their relationship, Gu Wei would definitely not harm her, and as a powerful figure in the entertainment industry, Gu Wei must know more and more thoroughly than she does.
"What would happen if I used him?"
“Once his affairs are exposed, the drama he participated in will definitely be buried.
Huace Investment has gone down the drain, and all your efforts for a period of time have been wasted."
"I understand. Huace mainly wants me to play the female lead. I do have a certain influence on the crew.
I will talk to Huace later and ask them to change the male lead."
Having said that, she raised her head and looked at Gu Wei.
"I can't do that. I've already booked three movies and a TV series, and the schedule is almost booked until 2021."
Gu Wei knew what Zhao Liying meant and quickly waved his hand.
[Tengxun Video Star Awards] has ended, and many video news have been circulated on the Internet, and some entries have become hot searches.
#Six top-tier gods in the same frame! #
#Gu Wei waits for Zhao Liying under the stage#
#Yang Mi and Dilraba's sisterly love#
#Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi chatted enthusiastically off the stage#
The traffic of "The Untamed" is huge. Although Xiao Zhan and Zeng Shunxi have no intention of promoting homosexuality, the two of them have a lot of CP fans. Every time they appear in the same frame, chat, or look at each other, it can arouse the climax of these fans.
Gu Wei's attention is still intermittent. His heated chat with Yang Mi off the court has caused netizens to analyze in various ways, just wanting to know what the two were talking about. Fortunately, the camera was not continuous, and it was impossible to judge what was said from the mouth shape.
During the final award ceremony, Zhao Liying was waiting in the audience, which brought back memories of "The Story of Minglan" for many netizens.
Especially Zhao Liying's fans, the "Fireflies", have analyzed the relationship between Gu Wei and Ying Bao in various ways, from "Come on, My Love" to "The Story of Minglan" last year.
Combined with the rumors about the two of them before, it was finally concluded that Gu Wei and Ying Bao must like each other, and the look in their eyes when they looked at each other was indescribably gentle.
Another delicious meal.
The next morning, Gu Wei's flight took off from Beijing and headed for Taipei.
"How are the preparations going?"
On the plane, Gu Wei asked Zhou Ye.
He was not alone this time, and he brought along Zhou Ye who played Cheng Xiaomei and Peng Yuchang who played the gangster Golden Hair.
"No problem at all. During this period, I didn't do anything else to concentrate on mastering the role of Cheng Xiaomei. If I didn't understand something, I would ask teacher Zhang Songwen. He is really good at teaching. If I couldn't figure something out, he would simply explain it to me and I would understand it."
Zhou Ye was full of confidence holding the script in her hand. She really put her heart into this movie.
"Okay, then let's wait and see how you perform during the filming~"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine!"
After talking to Zhou Ye, Gu Wei turned to Peng Yuchang.
"Peng Peng only has one scene. This role is not difficult for you. The only thing you need to do is to be familiar with the Taiwanese dialect.
[Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils] takes place in Taiwan, and everyone speaks with a Taiwanese accent.
Xiaoye, you are no exception.
I have asked the crew to invite some local teachers to teach us how to speak Taiwanese."
"Okay, Brother Wei."
