When Qin Li took Ji Li out of the hotel, the people called by Qi Heng were still dealing with all the surveillance equipment and images at the scene.
The faces of the several big shots who were originally so arrogant were stiff and they didn't recover, but they didn't dare to stop it, as if they were afraid of some big force.
Xu Ziming's face was completely scratched. After spending a lot of money on plastic surgery, he ended up with such a fate.
It's so sad.
Ji Li got into the car and asked quietly.
"This Qi Heng... Who is the Qi family? I only heard that he was a young master in the Beijing circle, but I didn't expect that he could check and balance these people?"
Qin Li only said what he knew directly, "The Qi family was a powerful family in Beijing a hundred years ago, and Qi Heng is a direct descendant of the Qi family, so it is natural for him to be more impressive."
"The leader inside should be the chief steward of the Qi family's old house. He has handled many things with Qi Heng's grandfather, the head of the Qi family."
Although he is just a steward and cannot be considered the real master of the Qi family, the prestige he has accumulated over the years is considerable.
Ji Li nodded and continued to ask curiously, "Really? You called Qi Heng here?"
"No? I, should I? Besides sending it to you?, I also sent a message to Qi Heng for help."
Coincidentally, Qin Li, Ji Yunzheng and Qi Heng all met in front of the hotel.
Ji Li's eyes lit up slightly, as if he had tasted something from it, "So according to what you said, there has been no progress with Qi Heng?"
Qin Li was silent for a moment, then he came closer to help him fasten his seat belt, and there was even a hint of gnashing of teeth in his voice, "You still have the mood to care about others?"
“…”
Ji Li heard something wrong in Qin Li's tone, and thinking of the voice calls just now, he felt a belated sense of guilt.
"It's an emergency. I, I also have no other options. If I, Yunqi, had gone a little later, I'm afraid it would have been too late..."
"Ji Li!" Qin Li interrupted with a frown.
"I was wrong." Ji Li responded quickly.
The anger that Qin Li had finally gathered was completely dispelled by the three words "your lover surrenders".
"I don't want you to put yourself in danger. A drinking party like tonight is like a den of wolves and dragons. You can't just go in if you want to. The current situation is still good."
"Have you ever thought about this? If we were a few minutes late, what if you, Ji Yunqi, failed to rescue the people and got yourself into trouble instead?"
Ji Li straightened his attitude and nodded in acknowledgment of his mistake in a particularly sincere manner.
Qin Li still felt a little scared when he thought of these possible outcomes.
He leaned in and stroked Ji Li's cheek, and said with emotion, "Ji Li, I am essentially a selfish person. You are no longer my friend, but you are the one who is at the top of my heart."
"I hope that I can help Yifei out of this predicament as much as possible, on the premise of ensuring your safety, rather than letting you ignore my advice and get yourself into trouble. Do you understand me?"
Ji Li felt the coldness of Qin Li's fingertips and held them tightly, "I understand. I promise it won't happen again."
Even if there are similar situations in the future, he will wait for Qin Li to take action together.
"I think it's not our turn to worry about her anymore. With Qiheng's protective attitude, Yuanbao will definitely become a wealthy family's 'young lady' in the future."
The second half of the sentence is obviously a joke to a friend.
Qin Li raised his eyebrows and asked teasingly, "It seems that the 50 million pocket money my mother gave you is not enough? Are you still thinking about others?"
“…”
Ji Li thought of the huge amount of pocket money and hesitated for a while before rejecting it, "Who said I missed you? I am sincerely happy for Yifei."
He originally thought that Qi Heng was too young to give Yuan Yi, who had been single for many years, a sense of security, but he did not expect that he would perform quite well tonight.
Qin Li glanced at the time and quickly started the car.
It’s not even nine o’clock yet, so it’s time to go back to the hotel and rest.
Tomorrow is the Huadian Awards ceremony, and the invited guests still need to face it carefully.
Ji Li leaned back in his chair and asked, "What are you going to do with Qi Shanhai and his gang?"
"When dealing with this group of cunning and sly guys, you can't be too forceful, otherwise it will only cause the opposite effect."
They have been wandering in this gray area for many years and have been involved in countless celebrities. To put it bluntly, some of these stars may be currently popular actors or first- and second-tier artists.
"Too many artists are willing to trade for status and resources, and don't want it to be exposed after they get it."
"If we push them too hard, Qi Shanhai and his gang will just give up and possibly drag the entire entertainment industry down with them."
Although Ji Li, Yuan Yifei and others were not in any danger, they were involved in this controversy after tonight.
"Some celebrities might try to protect themselves and throw bad words on us, so it's not worth it to just stand there and do it."
"Then don't care?" Ji Li frowned.
Even if some people are willing to trade, there are also innocent young artists who are forced.
"It's not that we don't care, but we need to change the way we knock it slowly." Qin Li replied.
Just because things in the gray area may be difficult to handle doesn't mean that the dirt in other areas can be hidden well.
These people hold so much financial capital, who can guarantee that this money is clean? As long as we can secretly seize their business loopholes, this group of people can still avoid going to jail.
"I don't have much experience in business. Qi's company has absolute dominance in this field. The person who cares most about this matter and is most capable of handling it is Qi Heng. I will discuss it with him later."
For some things, it’s best to involve as few people as possible.
As for Qin Li, he will definitely do his best to protect Ji Li from being disturbed by these evil things and let him pursue his own path as an actor.
"I won't mention others for now, but I think Qi Shanhai's position as vice chairman of the Chinese Entertainment Association is coming to an end."
When Qin Li said this, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He could see that Qi Shanhai had some evil thoughts about his lover. In this case, there is no need to save face for him.
In the field of entertainment that Qin Li is able to do, he will definitely ensure strict discipline.
"Just do whatever you want." Ji Li nodded slightly. He completely believed in Qin Li's means and ability to do things.
In other words, he was not deeply involved in these things. Even if there are rumors, he is not afraid because he is upright and honest.
Ji Li fixed his gaze on Qin Li's hands that were holding the steering wheel, and said with a smile, "What we did just now, is it considered public?"
This time it was Qin Li's turn to get stuck.
He watched Ji Li's expression from the corner of his eye and tried to explain, "I'm just afraid that they will try to take advantage of you again. They probably don't have the guts to tell anyone."
"I know. Anyway, there is no substantial evidence that we are together. If they want to spread our relationship, then let them spread it."
Ji Li chuckled and inexplicably felt a sense of relief. He originally cared too much about his career and always felt that love might become a stumbling block in his career.
Perhaps it was because he met a partner like Qin Li who always put his career first, his thoughts had completely changed——
Good love will become a support for your career rather than a burden.
While waiting for the green light at the intersection, Ji Li took Qin Li's hand and interlocked their fingers, "Qin Li, in the future I will openly admit my relationship with you in front of people in the circle."
"Not a friend, but a lover."
Qin Li's eyes were replaced by joy, and the strength of his fingers tightened a little, "No need to emphasize it deliberately, those who should know will naturally know it."
"certainly."
Ji Li quickly pulled his hand back, causing Qin Li to be startled, "Li Bao?"
Ji Li couldn't help laughing and reminded, "The street lights are counting down, concentrate on driving."
The tension on Qin Li's face finally disappeared, "Okay."
…
The next day.
Perhaps out of consideration for the severe cold in winter, the red carpet ceremony of the Huadian Awards started at 2 pm.
The sun is warm outside at this time, which is very considerate for those female stars who are used to competing over their outfits on the red carpet.
Although "Time Lobbyist" had good box office results, it was only nominated for the "Best Supporting Actor Award" and "Best Screenwriter Award" in the competition with many high-quality movies, so Ji Li was the only one from the entire crew.
The organizer's planners learned about this situation in advance, so they arranged Ji Li to join the "Special Operations" crew.
The crew is in the collective lounge.
"Where is Yifei? Wasn't he on the original red carpet list? Why didn't he come?" Yao Chuan asked.
Ji Li and Ji Yunqi looked at each other and tacitly covered up what happened last night. "I heard there is another job. It's too late in time, but I will come to the award ceremony tonight."
Yao Chuan nodded, "That's good. Missing the red carpet? That's okay, but you can't miss the award ceremony."
The director is not bragging, this time Yuan Yifei has a good chance of winning the Best Actor trophy for his role as Shi Ye in "Special Ops".
If this is really the result, this will be his first Best Actor trophy in his acting history. It would be a shame if he didn't come to the scene to receive the award.
Ji Li raised his lips, "Director Yao, don't worry, he will come."
He had just asked about the situation. Yuan Yifei was affected by the effects of the medicine he took last night. He recovered after an injection and still needed to rest for a while.
If she wants to rush to the red carpet this afternoon, she will have to get up in the morning to do her hair and makeup and force herself to stay energetic until the award ceremony in the evening. Her body might not be able to handle it, so her management team negotiated with the organizer in advance.
Yao Chuan thought of something else and patted Ji Li on the shoulder, "Little Ji, don't be discouraged. We still have the second film. Next year or the year after, we will be nominated for the Best Actor with the film. It will definitely be no problem!"
"Thank you, Director Yao."
As soon as he finished speaking, the organizer came to notify the crew to go to the red carpet.
The red carpet live broadcast of the Huadian Awards also attracted many netizens to watch, with the number of online viewers exceeding one million.
Ji Li's fans are both excited and happy.
Although Jilizizi has only participated in two award ceremonies in total, his red carpet looks alone have made four related hot searches!
The most important thing is that after every award ceremony, Jili always breaks better news.
The hot search craze triggered by the last Hundred Images Awards has made Ji family fans feel excited and proud!
Although Ji Li was not selected for the most important Best Actor award at this year's Huadian Awards, fans still hope that their idols can win one or two trophies.
The red carpet started on time. Fans waited for an hour and a half, waiting for batches of stars, before finally waiting for the crew of "Special Ops".
All of a sudden, the cheers and flashes became louder.
Ji Li's look this time did not disappoint his fans. He wore a light yellow long coat and a pleated bow shirt, which brought out the best head-shoulder-body proportions.
Compared to the black or dark suits that are common on the red carpet for male stars, the color of Ji Li's clothing alone is eye-catching.
Under the sunlight outdoors, he looks so tender and lively, like a noble prince who has walked out of a fairy tale.
The barrage went crazy in an instant.
——The styling team, come out and get kissed! What's this? You look like a baby!
——People with good-looking faces look good in anything they wear!
——You are so beautiful, baby, have fun today too!
In addition to Ji Li, Ji Yunqi from the same group also received a lot of cheers.
The fans watching the red carpet kept calling Ji Yunqi "Silly" and "Third Miss", which almost froze the smile on Ji Yunqi's face.
Ever since the broadcast of "The Poor Travel Notes", Ji Yunqi, who has his own funny points, has become the one with the most fans and is very popular among the passers-by.
The red carpet event and interviews with the crew lasted seven or eight minutes.
As soon as the group walked down the red carpet, screams from outside the venue began to roar.
“——Aaaaaah!”
"Brother Li!"
"Teacher Qin Li!"
As a special guest of the film festival, Qin Li walked the red carpet alone.
Yao Chuan was startled by the sudden noise and couldn't help laughing, "Qin Li's popularity has remained the same for the past ten years."
If we talk about the most popular actor in the Chinese entertainment industry, Qin Li would be second, and no one dares to claim to be first.
"There's no need to rush here for the time being, let's go with him." As the producer of "Special Operations", Yao Chuan obviously regards Qin Li as a member of the crew.
The sound of an interview came from the stage.
"Everyone says that they haven't seen Brother Li for a long time, so can Brother Li tell us? Will there be any new works released next?"
"Of course there will be. I can honestly tell you that three movies have been completed so far, and one of them will be released soon."
Ji Li heard Qin Li's answer and smiled slightly.
It looks like the dual personality detective drama "Dream" will be released soon? It is estimated that Lovers will create a new round of box office myth.
After Qin Li walked down the red carpet, he walked directly to Ji Li in front of all the familiar faces from the crew.
Fang Zhixing noticed something strange and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Ji Li didn't want to hide it last time and admitted generously, "Teacher Fang, we are together."
Qin Li added in a low voice, "One year and one month more."
Yao Chuan was surprised for a moment, then laughed out loud, "You two hid it well enough!"
Fang Zhixing was afraid that someone passing by might hear them, so he quickly said, "Let's talk about this at dinner tonight. It's cold outside, let's go inside first."
"good."
…
At six o'clock in the evening, Yuan Yifei finally arrived at the award ceremony venue to meet everyone.
Ji Li and Ji Yunqi surrounded them one after another. Even though they didn't ask any questions, their concerned eyes said it all.
"There's nothing serious with my body. I've recovered." Yuan Yifei spoke calmly, turning the page on last night's bad events in a casual manner.
He hesitated for a long time before solemnly saying to his two friends, "Ji Li, Yun Qi, thank you for what happened last night."
"...Really? I was inconsiderate and almost got you into trouble. I'm sorry."
Ji Yunqi made a sound of "tsk", hooked his shoulder and pretended to be fierce, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you still consider us friends?"
"That Qi Heng guy didn't do anything to you last night, right? I wanted to rush over to save the beautiful girl, but my brother strangled me in the cradle."
When Yuan Yifei heard the word Qi Heng and met Ji Li's understanding eyes, his ears turned red unnaturally, "He, he's very nice, he didn't do anything to me."
Ji Li rescued him from Ji Yunqi's seduction and raised his eyebrows, "Don't pay attention to Hanhan, he doesn't understand anything."
"How come I don't understand anything?" Ji Yunqi sat down immediately and answered the question irrelevantly, "We are now at the age to pursue our careers. Everyone must take a trophy home tonight!"
"I won the Best Newcomer Award, Jili won the Best Supporting Actor Award, and Yuanbao won the Best Actor Award..."
Ji Yunqi lowered his voice and secretly gave a thumbs-up, "That's really good!"
"You two can talk it out. I'll let it go." Yuan Yifei took a sip of water.
Not to mention Ji Yunqi who was also nominated for the 'Best Actor', the other two nominated actors are all well-known actors with great acting skills and extensive experience in the film and television industry. Yuan Yifei thought about it and felt that he was just a runner-up.
This is already the fifth time that Yuan has been nominated for the Best Actor award at the film festival. Of course, this could also be the fifth time he's been nominated as a runner-up.
Yuan Yifei flashed a hint of apology, "I've let it go, but I feel sorry for the fans."
He lets his fans hold out hope every time, but ends up leaving them disappointed. Afterwards, faced with thousands of insults, they still have to stay up late to fight against the black fans and suppress the comments.
"Yifei, please believe me." Ji Li gave his friend an affirmative look.
"That's right? It's your turn finally." Ji Yunqi also replied.
Yuan Yifei curled his lips slightly, still not believing that such a thing would happen to him.
At 6:30 in the evening, the award ceremony officially began.
Qin Li was arranged to sit in the award presenter seat, without sitting with the rest of the crew. However, the position where Ji Li was sitting made it convenient for the two of them to look into each other's eyes.
Ji Li discovered an experience he had never had before——
At the glamorous film and television festival, among all the artists' fans, the occasional glances and exchanges between couples unexpectedly carry a sweet taste.
The first award given out is always the 'Best Newcomer Award'. Ji Yunqi won this award without a doubt for his outstanding performance in "Special Ops".
In the subsequent 'Best Supporting Actor Award', Ji Li also broke through the siege with his role as Xiang Sui'an in "Time Lobbyist" and won the first supporting actor trophy in his new acting career.
"What a pity! With Ji Li's performance in Spec Ops, he should have been able to directly compete for the Best Actor trophy."
"'Special Ops' is really well made. The acting of the three first-place actors is remarkable. If they are all nominated, how will the other crews survive?"
Discussions could be heard from the audience from time to time. As soon as the words of praise were finished, a few mocking voices were heard.
"In fact, I think that the Best Actor award this time won't go to Spec Ops."
"What do you mean?"
"After all, this is Ji Yunqi's first time being nominated, so his chances of winning are not high. As for Yuan Yifei, everyone knows that he is a runner-up. I think he is not destined to be the best actor."
“…”
Yuan Yifei's fans obviously heard this, and their hands holding the light boards tightened slightly, but they couldn't find a reason to refute.
They dare not speak big words for their idols, they can only pray silently that this time they can end their fate of being a runner-up.
But their silence was not rewarded with courtesy, but rather led to increasingly unpleasant remarks.
"Does Yuan Yifei look like someone who can be a prostitute? What kind of movie star is he? He's worse than..."
Before the Yuan fans could get angry, two arguments rang out one after the other——
"Hey! Have you said enough? This is a public place! Can you please behave yourself?"
"So you are a fan of Bian Jin? Follow the main character. Haven't you suffered enough from your family last time? I have already recorded your faces and the light signs in your hands. If you keep talking nonsense, I will post it directly on Weibo!"
Who is Bian Jin?
At first, he was the actor who played Chen Xi in "Special Operations". Later, because of "rank cancer", he was delayed in signing the contract, so he was dismissed by Qin Li with a cold face.
Bian Jin's fans have been concerned about this matter, so they are holding their breath and are not happy with the main actors of "Special Ops"! What's more, the number of yuan with the greatest chance of winning tonight is no longer there.
"Your boss hasn't taken on any good roles in almost two years. How dare he come and take the guest seat today? Let me see where he's sitting?"
"In the corner of the last row of the guest seats."
"What about our three babies?"
"The big round table in the middle of the actors' seats!"
Two fans who suddenly showed up sang the same tune and slapped him back in the face without a single swear word.
Bian Jin's fans were angry and embarrassed, "Are you Yuan Yifei's fans? What does it have to do with you?"
"Jili, Miss San, you have such a good relationship with Yuanbao. We are happy to speak for Yuanbao for the sake of our hero. What's wrong? Put away your bad breath. Who are you trying to disgust?"
"Do you really think that the star-chasing sisters of Yuanbao's family are easy to bully? We are a family of 'Double Click One Yuan'. If you keep telling lies, we will make you suffer!"
It is true that fans follow their idols. Their ability of talking nonsense and slapping others in the face are both very impressive.
Many fans from other groups around noticed and started to laugh secretly.
Compared to Bian Jin, who had long fallen back to the eighteenth-tier, they obviously preferred Ji Li and the other three.
Even if we take a step back and say that it was the fans of the former who first spoke ill of the latter offline, it is only natural for the fans of the latter to fight back.
“…”
Bian Jin's scattered fans received the mocking gazes from the people around them, and their faces instantly turned red and they fell silent.
Yuan Yifei's fans cast grateful glances at Ji and Ji's fans and whispered, "Thank you."
"We are all one family, so let's not talk about different things! Just wait, Yuanbao will definitely gain something today!"
As fans came and went, the highlight of the night, the awards ceremony, finally arrived - Qin Li, one of the former winners of the Huadian Awards, walked onto the stage in great grace.
He stood in the middle of the stage, casting a subtle glance steadily towards the audience.
Ji Li received his gaze and couldn't help but hide the smile on his lips.
Yuan Yifei couldn't help but lean in and whisper, "Are you two being too high-profile tonight? You didn't interact publicly, but you made eye contact so much in private. Aren't you afraid that your fans will find out?"
Ji Li coughed lightly and said, "We have been very restrained."
“…”
Yuan Yifei ate a mouthful of dog food and almost couldn't recover.
"Stop whispering, Brother Li is about to announce the answer." Ji Yunqi clasped his hands together, extremely nervous, "Please, please, you must pronounce these three words Yuan Yifei!"
"It can also be the three words Ji Yunqi." Ji Li replied with a smile.
However, his inner inclination is no longer the same. The other party has suffered too much in recent years, and it is time for him to reap the rewards of love and career.
"I declare that the winner of the 26th Huadian Award for 'Best Actor' is -"
Qin Li glanced down at the center of the stage again, and smiled a smile that everyone knew, "Congratulations to actor Yuan Yifei!"
"Yes! Yuanbao Movie King!"
Ji Yunqi was so happy that he jumped up from his chair, not feeling sad at all about not being selected.
Ji Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for Yuan Yifei and smiled the brightest he had ever smiled.
Fortunately, the development of events is exactly the same as in the original book! Yuan Yifei finally won the first Best Actor trophy in his life thanks to "Special Ops"!
Yao Chuan, Fang Zhixing and other people around him applauded, but the award winner was the only one who stood there in a daze.
“…”
Yuan Yifei's head was completely confused.
Once upon a time, he desperately hoped to hear his name from the award presenter, but disappointment accumulated again and again until this time he gave up hope.
He never thought that his wish would actually come true one day!
"Yifei, don't just stand there, go and receive the award." Ji Li took the initiative to pull Yuan Yifei up and gave him a hug, "Congratulations!"
Ji Yunqi didn't mind being in front of the camera, and rushed over with a bear hug, "Actor Yuan, you have to treat me tonight!"
Yuan Yifei was pushed by them to hug a group of people, until he went on stage and received the heavy trophy, the sense of reality and bitterness came over him.
Perhaps because he had experienced too much in the past six months, the usually strong Yuan Yifei cried on the stage, and the fans in the audience had already burst into tears.
Qin Li cast a "reporting" look at his lover in the audience, then patted Yuan Yifei on the back in a friendly manner, "Come on."
"……Thanks."
In the live broadcast barrage, Yuan Yifei's fans were crying and laughing, and they excitedly "exploded" into fireworks.
——Ahhh Yuanbao! My? Yuanbao finally won the Best Actor award!
——Thank you, Teacher Qin Li! Thank you Ji Li! Thank you Ji Yunqi! Thank you all for your help. My mother now feels relieved!
——When a beautiful woman sheds tears, I will cry with her.
Under such circumstances, there are still some fans of the "Yuanyuan" CP who have revived.
——Ahhh, Brother Li is comforting Yuanbao! The full moon is still the most real!
This statement was refuted by other comments not long after it was made - what's so true about it? Look at the live broadcast from the audience! There is a surprise!
Many netizens were reminded by this huge barrage and immediately switched the camera position to the audience.
Seeing Yuan Yifei win the award, Ji Yunqi...Ji Li were happier than if they had won the award themselves.
At this moment, the two of them took out a large Yuan family cheering sign from somewhere, and one of them held up one to celebrate for Yuan Yifei. The scene looked very harmonious and warm.
It's not surprising that silly Ji Yunqi is acting weird like this, but Ji Li, who is usually calm, actually cooperates with him.
Soon, the barrage started a new round of screen-sweeping.
——We are one family in Jiyuanji! Wow, these three darlings have such a good relationship!
——Suddenly I remembered the scene when Ji Yunqi and Yuan Yifei held a banner to celebrate for Ji Li. Hahaha, so cute. It seems that the relationship between these three is really strong!
——What do you want with the Full Moon CP! Throw away Mr. Yueji too! Double-clicking one yuan is the most real thing!
——I declare that it’s time to get rid of Brother Li! Jili, Yuanbao, and Miss San are randomly selected as CP options, I'm fine with any of them!
The author has something to say: #Brother Li who was abandoned by netizens’ barrage:? ? ? [The clown is actually me. JPG]
