94 Chapter 94
◎Final Chapter◎
The news that Zhang Li was assassinated at the meeting shocked the entire entertainment industry.
When the fans who were unable to attend received the news, they were almost scared to death.
Fortunately, fans at the scene informed them that Lili was fine.
Soon, many media outlets were trying to find out the whole story, and then they called the police to ask why someone assassinated Zhang Li.
After the police investigation, they also issued an announcement.
After learning that he was Liu Shuyi's biological father, and knowing that it was Zhang Li who sent Liu Shuyi to the police station, he deliberately lurked to take revenge on her. Fortunately, he was rescued. The fans then cursed Liu Shuyi's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Then they were glad that their idol was rescued.
But when the video of the scene was leaked, someone pointed it out again.
[Why does this person who saved Zhang Li seem like Liu Qingran to me?]
「Hiss… Now that you mention it, I’ve also realized it…」
[The outline is exactly the same as Liu Qingran...]
Although the police did not reveal the name of the person who rescued Zhang Li, the audience still guessed that it might really be Liu Qingran.
Li fans were somewhat skeptical, but unwilling to believe it.
However, since Zhang Li held the press conference, Liu Qingran has never appeared in public again.
Her team also seemed to be giving up. Apart from closing the comment section on her Weibo, they did nothing else. They even ignored the large number of fans leaving her fan group.
Until the day Zhang Li left for the Qiangna Film Festival, Liu Qingran also held a press conference.
However, her press conference announced that she was about to quit the entertainment industry.
At the end, she thanked her fans who still stayed with her.
However, unlike Zhang Li's press conference comments, her comments were all full of sarcasm, mocking her biological parents for switching her and allowing her to steal Zhang Li's daughter's identity and life.
Liu Qingran didn't respond at all. After finishing his speech, he directly turned off the live broadcast.
The news of her retirement quickly became the second most searched topic, and above it was the entry about Zhang Li landing at the Qiangna Film Festival City Airport.
Everyone originally thought that the matter was over.
But in the evening, someone discovered that Liu Qingran's Weibo account was not cancelled, but instead the label of Yichang Media artist was changed.
Instead, behind her identity verification, a name suddenly appeared: Wancheng Private Equity Fund Management Department?!
As soon as this screenshot was released, it exploded on the Internet.
[What?! Liu Qingran joined the management department of Wancheng Private Equity Fund?!]
[Why would Wancheng accept Liu Qingran?!]
[Isn't Wan Cheng supporting Zhang Li? Hasn't Liu Qingran been stealing Zhang Li's identity for so many years? What is Wan Cheng doing?!]
Wan Cheng is planning to give up on Zhang Li?! He gets bored with the old and loves the new so quickly...
Soon, the comments started to go awry.
Although Li's fans didn't believe the rumors about "what was going on between Zhang Li and the investors behind Wan Cheng", they still felt betrayed when they saw Wan Cheng actually accepted Liu Qingran.
They also began to question Wancheng's official website.
But soon, a Weibo post by Zhang Li calmed them down.
[No doubt, I was the one who took Liu Qingran in.]
Although they didn't understand why Zhang Li would accept Liu Qingran, seeing that their idol had spoken out, Li's fans obediently stopped questioning.
However, Li's fans didn't think there was anything wrong, but others felt that Zhang Li's words were full of loopholes.
This was the day that would determine whether Zhang Li could be promoted to the top tier, and some professional black fans and internet trolls began to come out and "analyze".
[This is hilarious! You just take it when you say so? What are you?!]
[You're really not hiding anything, are you? I reasonably suspect Zhang Li just wanted to torture Liu Qingran, so he deliberately whispered to the boss behind Wancheng to recruit Liu Qingran into Wancheng.]
[Aren't you really afraid of backlash? Do you really think you're some stunning beauty that's hyped up online, someone who can control the hearts of the big bosses behind the scenes? Let me tell you, Liu Qingran's charm is no less than yours.]
[Taking the initiative to send such a beautiful woman to the big boss behind the scenes, he really thinks his life is too good]
[Waiting for someone to kill themselves...]
When Li’s fans saw that these people started to spread rumors about their idol again, they immediately started to slaughter them and started to curse these haters.
-
However, Zhang Li didn't have the time to care about these things on the Internet.
This time at the Qiangna Film Festival, although she had no worries and asked Xuanhuang to design a dress specifically for her, the G family also specially gave her an over-customized dress as a thank you for her "care".
The two dresses were surprisingly equally beautiful.
Although the dress from G has been delivered, I still need to try on the matching makeup.
So, the night before the Rosena Film Festival, she basically spent her time trying on makeup and doing skin care.
Time flies, and the next day came in a blink of an eye.
The opening of the Qiangna Film Festival was in the afternoon, so after breakfast they began to make intensive preparations.
At the appointed time, Zhang Li took the car arranged by the organizer and arrived at the red carpet. The director of "In Search of the Gods" was also with him.
Zhang Li has always stayed in China, so he had no idea that he had actually attracted a large number of fans abroad because of "Soushen".
The red carpet of the Rosena Film Festival was walked by invited celebrities on their own. She originally thought that when she walked on the red carpet, no one would recognize her except the media in her own country, China.
However, when she appeared in a fairy-like light gold floor-length dress, she found that countless cameras began to be aimed at her one after another.
She even heard some foreigners say in English, "That's a spirit!", "That elf girl!", "Oh my God! She's just as beautiful as I imagined!"...
Upon seeing this scene, the Chinese media stationed there couldn't help but take pictures of the foreigners' reactions, then sent them back to their headquarters in China and posted them online.
Zhang Li's popularity really amazed netizens.
You see, beautiful things are indeed internationally accessible. And those marketing accounts claiming that foreigners find Chinese people with small eyes and flat noses attractive are bullshit!
[Zhang Li's looks mean he'd still be a good fighter even if he went abroad!]
[This outfit is so beautiful. It turns out that foreigners also like ethereal looks...]
There was more admiration for Zhang Li.
[Ahhhhhhh! So beautiful, so beautiful, so beautiful!!]
[The Chinese awards are still too slow! Otherwise, Zhang Li would have been walking the red carpet in her home country!]
[Oh my god! Please give me a high-definition photo! It's so easy on my eyes! I need to put her on the screen and look at her every day! ! !]
[Who else has such beauty and temperament? ! ! ! ...]
-
Zhang Li had no idea that her beautiful photos had gone viral on the domestic Internet. In order to match the fairy-like quality of her skirt, she remained calm and cool throughout the entire process according to the team's pre-arranged plan.
She only smiled when the Chinese media asked her to smile.
This smile was like the first melting of ice and snow, refreshing the heart and making the shutter buttons in the hands of the media almost numb.
She didn't know that this scene was not only photographed by the Chinese media, but also recorded by the official Qiangna and later posted on the official overseas account.
After walking the red carpet, Zhang Li changed into a new dress and entered the venue.
It seems that the procedures of domestic and foreign film festivals are similar.
After walking the red carpet, the opening ceremony began when everyone entered.
In the early days, there were some unimportant awards.
It was not until the middle of the show that some of the fan-favored awards such as Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress were gradually announced.
Zhang Li sat with the director. Fortunately, both she and the director had a good command of foreign languages, so they could listen to the whole thing without the need for a translator.
Like many domestic film festivals, the Qiangna Film Festival is broadcast live throughout. Compared with domestic ones, it is even broadcast live around the world.
So you can see many cameras recording throughout the venue.
It’s just that there were so many people attending the film festival that the cameras couldn’t keep up.
The only Chinese film that entered the Rosena Film Festival this year was "In Search of the Gods". Although it only won the Best Actress award, the nomination for this award is obviously more valuable than most awards.
So Zhang Li and the director were arranged to sit in the center of the second row.
Because Zhang Li was nominated for Best Actress, the live broadcast, which had not received much attention in China in the past, had a surprisingly large number of online viewers this year.
Although in the early stage, because Zhang Li was not seen for a long time, the number of online users gradually dropped from hundreds of thousands to more than 100,000.
But by the middle and late stages, the number of people began to rise again.
And it seems that the internet trolls have infiltrated the comments section of the live broadcast and started to muddy the waters.
[This is hilarious. People in China praise her every day, but when she's abroad, she doesn't even get a single shot. The judges from the Qiangna organizers clearly wanted to shortlist someone to boost her popularity in China.]
[Didn't you just say how popular Zhang Li is with foreign media? How come I don't see that at all? Where is she?]
[I went to run with him, why are so many people paying attention to him? I really have so much free time.]
[Zhang Li can win the award, I will eat X on live broadcast...]
The countless voices of pessimism made Li’s fans extremely hateful.
If Xu Fei, the big fan leader, had not repeatedly warned them not to argue with the haters, they would have definitely cursed these people to death.
So, they had to use various expressions and barrages of encouragement to disperse the black fans' barrages.
But the haters don’t know that their slander is actually not taken seriously by ordinary audiences. After all, this is no longer an era of information blockade. Anyone with a discerning eye can see whether Zhang Li has received attention from foreign media or not.
The audience came more to see the final result and to see Zhang Li's beauty.
Finding that many people didn't care about these things, the haters changed their tactics and began to attack Zhang Li's "private life".
[I guess this award was actually secured for her by the sponsor behind the scenes]
[The people behind the scenes have invested hundreds of millions of resources in her. If she can't even win an award, it will be really embarrassing.]
Is there really anyone who doesn't know that behind Zhang Li stands the new richest man in City A?
I really don't know why the people behind the scenes are willing to let her stay in the spotlight. Yeah, rich people really do have unique ideas...
But these comments made Li fans unbearable.
Even with Xu Fei's instructions, Li fans started to curse back crazily.
[Those who are Y see Y, and those who are J see J! To those who see only junk, the most precious treasures in the world are junk.]
Is that all you have in mind? Just looking at Wancheng's investment in us, Lili, do you know how much our Lili has earned for Wancheng?!
Wasn't the acquisition of Lingman due to our Lili? Wasn't the multi-billion box office of "Searching for the Gods" due to our Lili? Wasn't it our Lili who promoted so many singers in the past year?
[S, that bitch, really cut his butt with a knife, now he has opened his eyes...]
Originally, many netizens were misled by the black fans, but after the Li fans said these words, everyone came to their senses.
"Yeah, why does providing resources have to be based on that aspect? Can't it be because we see Zhang Li's potential and invest in him?"
[In fact, the return on this investment is many times greater. Wancheng’s boss has such a keen eye, please don’t lower his standards.]
From an investor's perspective, their preference for Zhang Li proves their exceptionally sharp judgment, doesn't it?
This is the truth...
Countless netizens began to agree.
Seeing that the barrage was all defending Zhang Li, the haters realized that arguing was useless and could only leave.
However, even if they do not withdraw, they will be slapped in the face next.
Because the Qiangna Film Festival has finally passed the previous awards and arrived at the place that the audience in the Chinese live broadcast room pays the most attention to.
The host introduced the actresses nominated for Best Actress this year.
Compared with the other two international film awards, the Rosenborg Film Festival is more interested in discovering new talents in the film industry from various countries.
This time, in addition to Zhang Li, two of the other four actresses nominated for Best Actress are also newcomers.
But the remaining two are both world-renowned actresses.
However, this does not mean that Zhang Li's challenges are smaller.
The big screen played highlights of each shortlisted actor.
And Zhang Li was placed last.
Chinese audiences know that Zhang Li has good acting skills, and they also know that Zhang Li's acting skills should be the best in the same class, but they don't know how she compares to the international level.
When they saw the performances of the four actresses of different nationalities, they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Actors who are selected by the Changna Film Festival cannot have bad acting skills.
However, when the fourth clip was over and everyone was still in shock, Zhang Li's performance came to the fore.
The spirits in the film appeared even more detailed on the festival screen.
When Ling was lost in the crowd, when Ling sensed danger, when Ling's friend fell off a cliff to save her, when Ling was shocked and heartbroken by her friend's betrayal, when Ling was in the final battle...
It was a movie they had watched many times, but from another perspective, they could still discover many new things.
Is this editor a Zhang Li fan? Why is his edit better than the previous four?
[Previously, you've got the cart before the horse, haven't you? The truth is... Zhang Li's acting is more immersive than the previous actors, okay?!]
[Perhaps...is there a possibility...that Zhang Li's acting skills are actually very strong even on an international scale?]
[Then...] Although this sentence only has one word, everyone understands what is omitted.
At the scene, Zhang Li clearly felt that after the clip on the big screen was over, many people around her began to whisper to each other, and some of them looked at her.
Her expression remained calm, which made the director next to her look a little nervous.
The director didn't dare to say anything. According to his aesthetic standards, Zhang Li's acting skills were obviously better than the previous four, but he didn't know if it was his illusion.
Therefore, he did not dare to disturb Zhang Li, and even swallowed several times in a few seconds.
When the host announced the award presenter to come on stage and announce the final winner, the director was so nervous that he didn't dare to move.
The presenter came on stage, took the card from the etiquette staff, and after turning it over, he showed a slightly surprised expression, which then turned into a nod.
This is the previous winner of the Rosena Award for Best Actress, the blonde queen with blue eyes and a strong aura.
She said in fluent English: "The winner of this year's Qiangna Award for Best Actress is... Li Zhang!"
The comments haven't figured out who Li Zhang is yet, and some even misheard it, thinking it was one of the actresses mentioned earlier.
[Ah... Zhang Li didn't win the award...]
Unexpectedly, just as the barrage of comments floated up, the live broadcast of the Qiangna Awards switched to Zhang Li.
Barrage: 【???】
Zhang Li was not at all nervous and stood up with a smile.
Even the director next to him didn't react.
Suddenly I remembered that according to the foreign pronunciation method, the first name comes first and the last name comes last, so LiZhang is actually Zhang Li in reverse.
His eyes lit up instantly.
He quickly stood up and hugged Zhang Li who was already prepared.
"You win! You win!!"
“Thank you, Director…”
The barrage of comments also started to fly.
[Oh my god! It’s Zhang Li who won the prize!!!]
【Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Lili won the award!!!】
[I was shocked. I thought I didn’t win the prize! ! ]
【Ah ...
[Those of you who said Zhang Li was just a runner-up, stand up now! ! Does that slap you in the face? ! Do you think that slaps you in the face? ! Ahhhh? ! ! ...]
The barrage has gone crazy.
The Chinese media that were paying attention also went crazy.
They had already prepared press releases for both Zhang Li's winning and losing awards. As soon as the results came out, they quickly seized the traffic passwords.
[Breaking news!!! Zhang Li won the Best Actress award in her first appearance at the Qiangna Film Festival!! A true prodigy in the acting world!!!]
[After almost ten years, Hua Guo once again won the Best Actress Award at the Rose Awards, and the winner is Zhang Li!!!]
Zhang Li!!! The pride of China!!! She defeated internationally renowned actresses XXXX and XXXXXX to become the XXth Best Actress!
[Zhang Li lost to her opponent and missed the Best Actress Award at the Rosena Awards...]
When netizens who did not watch the live broadcast saw the last post, they felt regretful, but found that this post was quickly deleted.
Then the next post from the same media appears.
[Sorry, sorry! I sent the wrong message in my excitement! Yes—Zhang Li has definitely won the Best Actress Award at the Rosena Awards. Who else in China could be better than me?!]
Netizens were speechless and began to complain.
【Cou! This can also be sent by mistake! 】
[So it's true that these media outlets always prepare two different press releases in advance?!]
[I'm so impressed! I thought Zhang Li really missed the award.]
[You are wrong...]
Wait until you react.
[Hmm, hmm, hmm! Did I see that right?! Zhang Li really won the award?! ! !]
Ahhhhhhhh! I went to see it!!! It’s real!!!”
[This is amazing! This is Zhang Li's first nomination!!!]
[So strong! So strong!!!…]
As soon as the news of Zhang Li's award came out, all major platforms manually embedded this news into the hot search list, which really gave it enough attention.
Countless praises came pouring in.
Zhang Li seemed to have also felt the shock and surprise of domestic netizens. She was wearing the moonlight dress designed specifically for her by Xuanhuang.
The slim-fitting design looks ordinary at first glance, but it is actually made of hand-woven flowing brocade. After standing on the stage, under the illumination of the stage lights, her body is flowing with brilliance, which instantly amazes the audience below the stage and the audience before the live broadcast.
Zhang Li came to the award presenter with a smile.
Originally she looked unimpressive, but when she stood next to the Queen, everyone found that she was not inferior to her.
The Queen was also stunned by her shimmering dress and her face as beautiful as moonlight. As she handed her the trophy and certificate, she said in English, "Congratulations!"
"Thank you!" Zhang Li showed a genuine smile, which further deepened the Queen's impression of her.
The two exchanged a friendly hug.
The next step was naturally the thank-you speech. The Queen handed the stage to her and then returned to the stage.
Zhang Li, standing in the center of the stage, began to speak his speech in Chinese in an orderly manner.
"For me to receive this award, I would first like to thank my fans for their support, as well as our production team, including our producer and director. Secondly, I would like to thank my team. Your importance to me cannot be overstated. Finally, I want to thank all the managers and employees under Wancheng. Because of you, I can focus on doing what I want to do at this crucial moment! Thank you!!"
This speech is neither long nor short.
When Li’s fans heard that Zhang Li put them first in the list of people to thank, they were very excited.
[Ahhhh! Lili is the first one to thank us!!!]
[Wow, wow, wow… I’m so touched…]
But after I realized it, I thought it might not be a good idea. After all, when other people won awards, the first people they should thank should be the director and the production team.
Just when they were still wondering whether the production team would be dissatisfied, Zhang Li's next words made them feel more and more that something was wrong.
When Zhang Li finally thanked Wan Cheng, the audience in front of the live broadcast room in China were a little confused.
[No, why didn't I understand what Zhang Li meant by his last sentence?]
[Thank you Wancheng? Are you thanking Wancheng for his investment?]
Is there a replay function? Can I listen to it again?
[Is anyone recording this? Could you please repeat the last sentence of Zhang Li's speech?]
[I suspect there's something wrong with my IQ...]
Just when the audience was still analyzing what Zhang Li meant, someone came over from Weibo.
[Ah ...
[What official announcement?! Is it Zhang Li and Big Boss Wan Cheng's official announcement?!]
[It's not this official announcement! It's the official announcement of Wan Cheng's Big Boss! It's something you absolutely can't imagine! ! ! Go check it out! ! !]
The audience was confused by this comment, but they couldn't suppress their curiosity and switched to Weibo.
I saw that the top few spots on Weibo's hot search list were occupied by Zhang Li.
The first place was not Zhang Li who won the Best Actress Award at the Qiangna Awards as they expected, but an entry #You will never guess who the big boss Wancheng is#.
After just clicking in to take a look, almost everyone was stunned.
The first update was posted on Weibo just a few minutes ago from Wancheng’s manager Wu Heng.
[Wan Cheng Wu Heng v: Congratulations to BOSS for successfully conquering Qiangna! // Latest News v: Breaking News!!! Zhang Li won Best Actress in her first Qiangna campaign! ...]
The number of likes has reached an astonishing 100,000.
The second one completely explained everyone's doubts in the short-circuit state.
Wancheng Private Equity Fund Official Weibo: Congratulations to our sole investor, Ms. Zhang Li, on her resounding success at the Qiangna Film Festival! /Spread flowers/Spread flowers/Spread flowers//Wancheng Wu Heng: ...]
Next came the other management staff of Wancheng.
[Wancheng Chen Long v: Congratulations, BOSS/firecrackers/firecrackers/firecrackers…]
[Wan Chengwu Xinyi v: Congratulations, Boss...]
[Wancheng XXXv: Congratulations, Boss...]
…
The list turned out to be full of people from Wancheng's management team, including Liu Qingran.
Liu Qingran’s fans were all stunned.
Zhang Li’s fans and other netizens were even more confused.
[So... Zhang Li is actually Wan Cheng's true boss? ]
[Are you kidding me?! Is today April Fools’ Day?!?]
Ah? Ah? Ah? Ah? Ah? ...
Ahhhhhhhhh! Everything is clear! ! ! !
The post on Weibo wasn't over yet, and soon all the companies under Wancheng sent their congratulations.
Netizens are crazy!
Then, Weibo crashed...
Then came other platforms. The marketing accounts were shocked and took screenshots of the Weibo posts of these famous figures and spread them. Whichever platform they posted on, that platform would explode.
When the live broadcast returned, Zhang Li was no longer there and the award ceremony was still going on, but every sentence in the barrage was still related to Zhang Li, and a large number of netizens were still making jokes.
[Greetings, Big Boss! May Big Boss be blessed with good health!]
[We agreed to work together, why did you secretly become the richest man behind my back?!]
[Tell me! Which planet are you from?!]
[Zhang Li, I have a 10 billion project here, would you like to invest?]
[They all come for your acting skills, but I don't. I'm purely after your money. Love me, okay?]
Give me half of your money. After all, you can always earn more money if you lose it! I'm not really broke!
[Wife, I've already moved the Civil Affairs Bureau here. I'll pay for the construction costs, and you'll pay for everything. Can we get married now? If you don't object, that means you agree! So, I declare now that you'll be my wife from now on! ...]
Then the screen was filled with disputes over wives.
The online explosion continued until the evening.
Weibo was finally repaired urgently, but it crashed again because of a Weibo post by Zhang Li.
【Zhang Li v: I will return to China tomorrow.】
There was a cloud of—— [Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…]

Copywriter:
Cheng Qing, who was blessed with good fortune, turned her ordinary family into a wealthy one, but soon she found out that she was not her parents' biological daughter at all, and everything she did became a favor to others.
Her parents became her adoptive parents and kept pressing her, so Cheng Qing was forced to leave. By chance, she became a travel blogger.

I lost my way when I entered the mountains, and then I found an unconscious child.
Cheng Qing quickly led people back to Chengcheng, called 120, and successfully rescued the child. However, upon investigation, it turned out that the child was an illegal immigrant.
Bewildered, Cheng Qing sent the recovered child back the same way she'd come. But this time, she was transported to the ancient world? Did the child's father, who had left his hometown, conquer the land and become an emperor? Did she become the young prince's savior?
Cheng Qing:?

While going to the countryside to collect folk songs, I encountered a wildfire on the way.
Cheng Qing then dialed 119, which brought the fire brigade, who successfully stopped the fire from spreading and saved the entire village.
The villagers, dressed in simple clothes, were filled with gratitude and worshipped Cheng Qing as the mountain goddess. They gave her the vast mountains and forests. But, there was a Ganoderma lucidum every five steps and a Ginseng every ten steps?
Cheng Qing: ? ?

While exploring the desert, I encountered people rioting and looting.
Cheng Qing quickly dialed 110 and, with the assistance of Re Wu, immediately captured all the criminals.

The girl said that she was the young master of the first sect in the world of immortal cultivation, and was harmed by a villain and fell into this secret realm full of dangers.
