The awards ceremony of the Baixiang Film Festival has always been straightforward, without any fancy segments for the audience.
Starting with the 'Best Newcomer Award', the following awards were presented one after another.
After that, the movie "The World" won three major awards including "Best Arrangement", "Best Supporting Actress" and "Best Picture".
An hour later, the highly anticipated core awards began to be presented.
As expected by the outside world, the title of Best Actress this year went to actress Sun Li.
The other party was wearing a dark blue long dress today, which showed off her graceful figure to the fullest, and her femininity was evident in her every move.
This is the first time that Sun Li has won the Best Actress award at the Hundred Film Awards. Together with the Best Actress awards she has won at other film festivals in the past, she has now collected trophies from all major film festivals.
A new round of discussion started on the live broadcast barrage.
——Sister Sun Li is so beautiful! Goddess, oh goddess!
——She should be the first actress in the Chinese entertainment industry to win the Grand Slam of Best Actress awards, right? This ability to win awards is so powerful.
——I have to say that the director of "The Awakener" had a really good eye. He found two new actors to play the male and female protagonists. Who would have thought that now one is Qin Li and the other is Sun Li.
——Ahhhh my original CP, can Brother Li and Sister Li collaborate on another movie in their lifetime? I heard that they are a couple in private, is it true?
——Impossible, take Brother Li away without an appointment.
——What’s impossible for a man to be unmarried or a woman to be unmarried? If these two were together, they would be the top couple in the entertainment industry!
Just as the comments were showing signs of a quarrel, Sun Li, standing on the stage, finished his acceptance speech.
"Let us once again congratulate Sun Li for winning the Best Actress Award. Please stay." The host followed the script and asked her, jokingly, "Let me ask you a question on behalf of the audience."
"Who do you think will win the 'Best Actor' trophy next?"
Sun Li held the trophy in his hand, smiling broadly, "This question seems to be easy to offend people, right?"
The host was very good at livening up the atmosphere and continued to ask with a smile, "We are just having a casual discussion. Which actor do you personally hope will win the award?"
Sun Li looked down and when he aimed at Qin Li, his smile instantly widened. "Personally, of course I hope that my old partner, Mr. Qin Li, will win the award."
As soon as he finished speaking, high-decibel screams rang out from the audience.
No matter what the reason for Sun Li's answer, it is what people want.
After all, if Qin Li could really win the 'Best Actor' trophy, it would be his fourth consecutive championship that no one could shake.
Qin Li curled his lips politely and looked away unnoticeably.
It doesn't matter whether you win a trophy or not.
He doesn't want to have any unnecessary involvement with other female stars.
The cheers at the scene were still intermittent, and some people inexplicably shouted "Qin Li and Sun Li are a good match", and no one knew where these old CP fans came from.
Ji Li took a sip of the red wine on the table and hid the glimmer in his eyes, "The man is talented and the woman is beautiful, they are a perfect match."
Yuan Yifei heard this very low mutter, and looked at Qin Li with a smile without saying a word, with five obvious words written on his face.
——Qin Li, you are finished.
After Sun Li received the award and stepped down from the stage, the award ceremony for the Best Actor soon began. What surprised everyone was that -
It is not Qin Li, who has been the most popular candidate for three consecutive years, nor is it Jiang Wenda, a powerful actor who has been in the industry for many years.
The winner of the 24th Hundred Animation Awards' Best Actor award is Wu Cheng, who starred in the art film "I Love You in the Future".
This completely unexpected result caused sighs and confusion among the audience.
Even Wu Cheng, the winner himself, was shocked - to be honest, why did he feel like pie in the sky? It was thought that he would not win the award, and he did not even prepare a speech to accept the award!
However, now that the winners have been announced, the established award-winning process cannot be avoided.
The director obviously understood people's minds and quickly cut the camera to Qin Li's direction.
Facing the camera, Qin Li raised his eyes and looked at it calmly. His innate strong demeanor made people sigh in admiration.
The noise erupted from the audience again, and many of Qin Li's fans felt embarrassed.
Why!
Doesn’t Brother Li deserve an award for his acting in the movie?
As an insider in the industry, director Zheng Anxing obviously understands the purpose of this award ceremony.
He patted Qin Li's shoulder and shook his head regretfully, "What a pity, this is not your problem."
Before this year, Qin Li had won the Best Actor award at the Hundred Images Awards for three consecutive times. Such an achievement is considered to be incredible in the history of the film industry.
Anyone who understands the situation knows that Qin Li’s chances of winning this award were slim from the very beginning.
The same winner every time? In the parlance of the industry, this is called 'award imbalance'. If there is absolutely no chance left for other films and actors, it might as well be renamed the "Qin Li Award".
The organizing committee must have made the decision after careful consideration in order to avoid such a situation.
Since Qin Li couldn't win this award, Yuan Yifei from the same group naturally had little hope.
Although Jiang Wenda's acting skills are good, his image in this nominated film is not much of a breakthrough compared to his previous performances.
After all, the crew of "I Love You in the Future" and Wu Cheng, who used "art" as their best selling point, became the most suitable candidates for the award.
Qin Li raised his glass and clinked it with Director Zheng Anxing to express his gratitude, "No matter what, I still want to thank Director Zheng for his cultivation."
"You're welcome. With your ability, why do you need my training? We can work together again if we have the chance."
"certainly."
Before coming here, Qin Li had already anticipated this result.
He has won many awards over the years, and trophies and titles are no longer his only goals. Faced with the current result, he can accept it calmly from the bottom of his heart.
Ji Li looked at Wu Cheng on the stage, whose voice was trembling with excitement, and suppressed the feeling of loss.
Although the possibility of winning such a heavyweight trophy for four consecutive years is very slim, he still secretly hopes that Qin Li will win the award.
Speaking of which, Ji Li has never witnessed his lover's proud posture when he received the trophy.
Ji Li moved his gaze back to Qin Li, who was talking in a low voice with the director.
He secretly typed a few words under the table and sent it out.
In an instant, Qin Li felt the vibration in the phone in his pocket. He opened the message from Ji Li and a short line of words came into view.
——You will always be my best actor.
The words were so hot that they moved him.
Qin Li looked over immediately and met that silent and affirmative gaze.
In the huge award ceremony venue, there was constant noise and cheers all around. The two of them were separated by a seat and there was not even the slightest intimate contact, but love flowed in their eyes, secretive and firm.
How could such eye contact escape the eagle eyes of CP fans who have their own 'microscope'?
In the group of 'The Moon Couple is Real', some girls who love sugar quickly cut out a short video of the live broadcast, zoomed in and slowed it down.
"Ahhh everyone, don't be sad, I was staring at the live broadcast of the guest seats, and I ended up getting a huge sugar rush!"
"First, Lizi quietly took out his phone and played with it under the table for a while. But within a few seconds, Lige lowered his head."
"When he looked up again, his eyes met Jili's! And Li's smile was obviously wider!"
——I did sit-ups on the spot and kept saying "Good job!" Are the two of them communicating privately on their phones?
——Of course! Since Li Ge didn’t win the prize, it must be Jili who was comforting her! Thank you for knocking!
——Hahaha, I thought there was a gold ingot in the middle of Yuejifu, so there would be very few sweet snacks. I didn't expect that Yuanbao was just a tool to cover up the truth!
——Hahahahaha, sorry Yuanbao, thank you Yuanbao.
…
At this moment, the 'tool man' Yuan Yifei leaned forward unnoticeably, blocking the two people's unstoppable gaze. He whispered vaguely, "You two, be quiet."
The heat of their eye contact was brighter and hotter than that of this large 'light bulb'.
Ji Li smiled and turned his gaze back to his friend's face, asking with concern, "Yifei, are you okay?"
Although Qin Li did not win the award, his previous achievements will not be wiped out. Instead, Yuan Yifei was the runner-up again. I am afraid that his black fans will mock him again.
"Me? Of course I'm fine." Yuan Yifei answered nonchalantly. When he raised his glass to drink, a flash of loneliness passed through his eyes.
This is not the first time, and probably won't be the last.
The award ceremony is still going on.
Director Zheng Anxing missed the "Best Director" award, but the "Audience's Favorite Film" award went to "The Commonwealth of Nations".
The final trophy for "Popular Male Star" was unsurprisingly won by Yuan Yifei.
This year's 'Best Actor' award has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet, and the heat is rising.
When clicking on the hot search topic, before the fans of Oak could even complain, ordinary netizens started to make a fuss.
——Qin Li didn’t win the award? I don’t understand this year’s Hundred Images Awards.
——I don’t think other actors and teachers are bad, but Qin Li’s performance in “The Kingdom of the World” is impeccable! When I saw the scene where he turned evil and killed people, I was really terrified and at the same time I exclaimed in my heart, “Amazing!”
——Come on, Teacher Qin Li! There will be the Film Awards in two months! He will definitely win the Best Actor award!
——If you don’t want it, then just forget it! Brother Li’s acting skills no longer need to be proven by awards! Awesome people are always awesome!
Remarks like these are enough to show how popular Qin Li is among the public. The heartfelt affirmation from everyone is much more important than a mere trophy.
…
After the award ceremony, the celebrity guests dispersed with their teams.
In the artist lounge backstage, Yuan Yifei put his arm around Ji Li's shoulders and waved his phone in a friendly manner, "Did you see the group message? Miss San happens to be in Dijing shooting a magazine today. Can the three of us get together after work? He has already found a place."
Ji Li nodded in agreement without thinking too much.
Although the movie "Time Lobbyist" is still in theaters, there is no subsequent promotional task. Once the award ceremony is over, coupled with the subsequent annual holiday...
Ji Li had a lot of rest time, so this time when he came to Dijing, he was not in a hurry to go back.
The door to the lounge opened.
Qin Li found a thick down jacket from somewhere and put it on Ji Li gently and forcefully. "The night wind is even colder, be careful not to catch a cold. The car is parked outside, we..."
"Hey, sorry, Teacher Qin Li, your baby just made an appointment for a midnight snack with Ji Yunqi and me, so you should go back first." Yuan Yifei pushed his glasses and proudly stole the ball.
Qin Li was startled, "Where are we going?"
"Don't even think about coming with us. Family members are not allowed to attend this dinner." Yuan Yifei quickly understood the intention behind Qin Li's words and simply refused.
"When we were filming, you left a deep psychological shadow on Ji Yunqi. If he saw you following him, he wouldn't be able to digest his dinner, let alone a midnight snack."
Ji Li chuckled twice, "Qin Li, you go back first. Yi Fei and I will come back together after we finish eating."
Qin Li thought of the stalker he had seen a few days ago, and his expression did not relax.
"Don't worry, I'll have my team follow us, and we'll take a car back to the hotel later." Yuan Yifei was impressed by the clinginess of this gay couple and continued to persuade them, "I won't lose Ji Li, and I guarantee that he will be returned to you intact."
Even though the two were dating, Qin Li knew that he had to give Ji Li enough private space.
"Go ahead, before it's too late."
"good."
…
The place for the midnight snack was booked by Ji Yunqi, which is a restaurant that serves barbecue and hotpot.
The team assistants and others sat around in the hall for a lively dinner, while Ji Li and the other two got a private room to chat alone.
"Come on, let's have a drink first! We haven't been together for at least four months." Ji Yunqi waved his hand and suddenly took on the attitude of a host.
The 'silly' aura is captured perfectly.
Yuan Yifei glanced at him and pointed out the truth with disgust, "Clinking glasses with Coke? Aren't you ashamed?"
Ji Li hooked his lips and cooperated with the encounter, "Just drink Coke. If I drink with the two of you, my midnight snack will be over before it even starts."
The three of them drank a small cup of Coke, and Yuan Yifei nudged Ji Li with his elbow, "How about you share your relationship status with us?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yunqi on the side shouted, "What's your relationship situation? Ji Li, are you in a relationship?"
Ji Li did not hide it from him and simply nodded.
Before he could open his mouth to explain in detail, Ji Yunqi next to him showed a look of "deep sorrow".
"What happened to the agreement that we would work together? I'm working so hard in Hengcheng filming, and you're secretly in a relationship?"
As a fanboy of Ji Li's career, Ji Yunqi felt like he had suffered a critical blow.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Tell me, which beautiful young lady is it?"
"Little sister?" Yuan Yifei took a bite of beef and retorted with a smile, "You are wrong about the gender."
“…”
Ji Yunqi was stunned for three seconds before he understood the underlying meaning of these words.
Fortunately, they are all in the entertainment industry and have always been open-minded about such things.
Ji Yunqi quickly looked at Ji Li and put on a serious attitude, "Ji Li, let me tell you, other than the three of us and my eldest brother, you can't trust other men's words!"
"Tell me, which bastard deceived you? Is he from within the circle or outside? What is his character like?"
If this person is unreliable and their homosexual relationship is unilaterally exposed in the future, it will be a fatal blow to Ji Li's career.
The more Ji Yunqi thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and the more worried he became. "Ji Li, tell me quickly! So that Yi Fei and I can check for you."
"If, I mean if, if Ji Li's other half is a complete scumbag, what are you going to do?" Yuan Yifei secretly stopped Ji Li and deliberately set a trap for Ji Yunqi.
"Nonsense, beat him!" Ji Yunqi blurted out, "Beat him to death."
Yuan Yifei nodded and took another bite of the beef skewer. "Are you going to beat Qin Li? Isn't that inappropriate?"
A bombshell was casually dropped.
“…”
Ji Yunqi's bold words got stuck in his throat halfway through, and his aura of "fighting" was extinguished.
He almost thought he was hallucinating, "Teacher Qin, Teacher Qin Li?"
"Stop teasing him." Ji Li glanced at Yuan Yifei with amusement.
Then, he explained to Ji Yunqi seriously, "Qin Li and I went abroad to shoot a movie some time ago, and it was natural for us to get together after the filming was completed."
Ji Yunqi pursed his lips and suddenly felt like crying but had no tears.
Is it too late for him to take back what he just said?
If Qin Li knew that he was so shameless, would he delete all his scenes in "Special Operations"?
Ji Yunqi grabbed a handful of skewers with a guilty conscience, stuffing them one by one while pretending to be careless, "I was just saying it casually."
Qin Li's character is recognized in the entertainment industry, so how could he dare to question it?
Yuan Yifei teased, "Miss San, now you know why Qin Li targeted you, right? It was you who stuck to Ji Li all day on the set."
Ji Yunqi suddenly realized what was going on and immediately threw a bamboo stick over, "Shut up! So you've been waiting to see me make a fool of myself!"
"You are so slow to react. You didn't notice it the whole time. Now you won't let me tell you?"
Ji Li was used to their bickering, so he changed the subject and asked, "What's going on between you and that new actor named Qi Heng?"
Ji Yunqi nodded hurriedly, "That's right, since your variety show started, I've seen the two of you on the hot search list several times."
"Is it their company that wants to promote new talents? Have they discussed binding cooperation with your studio?"
When Yuan Yifei heard the name 'Qi Heng', the smile on his lips froze slightly, and his usually calm eyes suddenly showed a hint of unnaturalness, "…Why do you mention him?"
"There's nothing to bind. The trending searches were all made by fans and the program crew. Anyway, after recording one more episode, I'll say goodbye to him completely." Yuan Yifei drank the freshly filled can of Coke in one gulp, as if to hide his enthusiasm.
"The entertainment industry is so big that I can have no connection with it for the rest of my life if I want to."
Ji Li noticed Yuan Yifei's red earlobe with his sharp eyes, and his expression became subtle for a moment.
However, the parties involved quickly changed the subject.
"Yunqi, how is your TV series? I think I saw the release date announcement a few days ago."
"It's almost done. The first episode has been approved and will be aired at the end of the month. You guys can help me promote it then."
When talking about his own film and television works, Ji Yunqi couldn't stop talking. "Do you know what the TV series that competes with mine is?"
He paused, his eyes fixed on Ji Li, "You can definitely guess that it had something to do with you before."
When Ji Li heard what he said, he completely realized, "Shen Yanda's "The Long Song of the Southern Dynasty"?"
"yes!"
This TV series was produced while being filmed, and was divided into two parts in order to seize the traffic during the Spring Festival. As luck would have it, it collided with the crew of Ji Yunqi.
During this period, fans of the two dramas have begun to target each other openly and covertly.
Ji Li's eyes flashed with a hint of playful calculation, and he took the initiative to ask, "Yunqi, can you give me the contact information of your production manager?"
"What's wrong?"
Ji Li raised his eyebrows, "I have some of Shen Yanda's materials here, I'll give them to you for free."
The seemingly nonchalant tone concealed a cold, hard, and powerful force that could kill with one strike.
Ji Yunqi and Yuan Yifei looked at each other and understood each other.
At the beginning, Chen Yanda openly used public opinion to discredit Ji Li, and they all remembered this account on behalf of their friend.
To deal with evil people, we must use even more evil methods.
…
Ji Yunqi and Yuan Yifei both had work announcements tomorrow, so the three of them didn't chat until very late.
It was not yet eleven o'clock when Ji Li followed everyone back to the hotel.
Perhaps they had reached a certain level of tacit understanding. As soon as Ji Li picked up his phone, he saw the WeChat message from Qin Li.
——Have you returned to the hotel? Don't chat too late.
Ji Li curled his lips and typed very quickly.
——I just arrived at the hotel lobby and was about to go back to my room to take a shower. What about you?
Qin Li came back again.
——Take the major general to the back garden of the hotel. I will come to find you later.
Qi An is a local. He returned to Dijing from Hai City last month for business, and brought along the cats and dogs that his friend had left at his home.
As soon as Qin Li and Ji Li arrived in Dijing yesterday, they took back the cat and dog they hadn't seen for a long time.
The major general had been stuck in the hotel room for a whole day, so Qin Li took him downstairs for a walk while there were few people around.
Ji Li returned to the room and released Xuebing from the big cat cage. He stroked the cat's fur soothingly and hurried into the bathroom.
The weather in the north was unbearably cold, he needed to take a nice hot bath to relax.
Not long after Ji Li entered the bathroom, he heard Xue Bing's continuous screams.
It's not as soft as before, and it sounds alert and sharp.
"Xue Bing? What's wrong?" Ji Li felt something was wrong and quickly changed into a bathrobe. As soon as he opened the door, he bumped into the person at the bathroom door.
The man had a fanatical and crazy look on his face, a familiar plaid shirt, and his left hand was doing something unspeakable through his pants.
This scene made Ji Li feel horrified.
"Ji Li! Ji Li, I really like you so much!" The man in the shirt rushed up instantly.
Ji Li quickly dodged and slipped out of the bathroom when the opportunity arose.
He glared away, questioning with extreme disgust, "Get out of here!"
Seeing that he failed to knock her down once, the man in the shirt ran out again and approached her, "Ji Li, I really like you, give me a chance."
Ji Li caught a glimpse of his expression and felt physiologically nauseous. At this moment, he didn't want to have any physical contact with this person, not even a fight in self-defense.
But the man in the shirt was acting too crazy, and kept trying to get closer and force him into the room.
"Ji Li, I have secretly unplugged the landline in the room! I have also quietly collected your cell phone and room card..."
The man in the shirt swallowed his greedy saliva, and couldn't wait to hug the person he had longed for.
He finally got the chance!
“Meow!”
Suddenly, Snow Cake, who had been furious for a long time, jumped up, and his claws, which had been retracted, became sharper than ever before.
But in the blink of an eye, the shirt man's right cheek and neck were scratched by the snow cake, leaving deep bloody marks.
The stinging sensation made the man in the shirt angry, and he kicked the cat at his feet.
"Snow cake!" Ji Li's eyes suddenly darkened.
He picked up the iron frame ornament on the cabinet door and smashed it at the other person quickly and accurately.
The next second, the door opened.
The major general, who had sensed the movement a long time ago, rushed in instantly and pounced on the man in the shirt.
“Qin…”
Before he could pronounce his full name, Ji Li was hugged tightly into the arms of Qin Li who had rushed back in time.
The familiar scent of his lover enveloped him, and Ji Li's tense heartstrings loosened in an instant, "...Qin Li, I have no idea how he got in."
The incident happened suddenly. Ji Li's exposed skin was moist and red, and there was no time to blow-dry her hair. The strands of hair stuck to her forehead, making her look even more fragile.
When Qin Li thought about his lover becoming the target of a pervert, he even wanted to kill her.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He kissed Ji Li's forehead and soothed her in a hoarse voice, "Wait for me."
"Ouch!" A suppressed threatening sound came from the major general's throat.
As a large and strong dog, Major General is very intimidating to strangers.
The man in the shirt was pinned to the ground by the major general, and because of the pain from being scratched by the cat, he was unable to react for a while.
He subconsciously raised his eyes, and met Qin Li's gloomy eyes that were like a demon from hell.
“…”
The sound seemed to be sealed suddenly, and the man in the shirt felt a sense of fear of destruction.
The Major General felt his master approaching and moved away.
Qin Li didn't give the man in the shirt any chance to escape, and the gloom that had accumulated in his eyes exploded at this moment. He clenched his jaw, as if he was exerting force in secret.
The next second, he aimed at a very dirty spot and kicked it hard.
"--ah!"
The heart-wrenching screams immediately alarmed the entire floor.
