The live broadcast of the Huayi Awards red carpet attracted a large number of fans. Compared with the solemn and dignified Changkong Awards, the Huayi Awards had a larger number of celebrities, including a large number of popular young stars with considerable popularity and influence. Naturally, their outfits were also more eye-catching than those of the Changkong Awards.
As one of the nominated male actors, Ji Yan's red carpet look remained simple, similar to his look at the Chang Kong Awards, with only minor changes in details.
The moment he and He Qing stepped onto the red carpet, the screams from fans on both sides of the red carpet became incredibly enthusiastic, almost unrestrained, rushing towards them.
He Qing had never encountered such a scene before. He glanced slightly at Ji Yan and saw Ji Yan calmly waving to his fans, with the cameras of the reporters in the front row almost shoved into his face.
He Qing suddenly felt a sense of disconnect—normally, he rarely saw the airs of a big star in Ji Yan. Even during the time when Ji Yan had a conflict with Song Jing on the set of "The Vanished Murderer," he never put on airs like a popular star.
But at this moment, He Qing truly felt Ji Yan's popularity.
"Teacher Ji!!"
"Teacher Ji is absolutely the most handsome man on the red carpet!!"
"Ahhh, look over here! He's waving at me!!"
Previously, Ji Yan's good looks were limited to the idol circle. Fans who followed "Idol Generation" knew his appearance best. However, as Ji Yan made a name for himself in the film and television industry with "I, Nameless", he gradually became a representative of actors with outstanding looks in the film industry.
However, actors with outstanding looks are often considered to have poor acting skills, but Ji Yan is different.
With one nomination for Best Actor at the Chang Kong Awards and another at the Huayi Awards, Ji Yan is undoubtedly one of the biggest surprises in the entertainment industry in recent years, according to some professionals.
In fact, if Ji Yan weren't the third young master of the Ji family, industry capital would have wanted to bring him under their wing long ago. This is a common practice in the industry. When an actor shows enough talent in the film industry, if he comes from a small company or works alone, big companies will not hesitate to sign him, prepare several customized films for him, and make his face in big productions, thereby attracting more investment.
Ji Yan's company, DW Entertainment, is indeed not large in scale, especially compared to several newcomers being heavily promoted in the film and television industry. DW Entertainment can be described as impoverished.
However, Ji Wei, who is behind Ji Yan, is not easy to deal with. Compared with the Ji family under Ji Wei's control, the so-called investments in the entertainment industry are just small-scale operations.
Therefore, Ji Yan has enough freedom to make films. He can make whatever he wants without having to submit to capital, and he won't put the audience in a dilemma between eating chocolate-flavored poop and eating poop-flavored chocolate.
He is like chocolate-flavored chocolate.
More importantly, Ji Yan is indeed very good-looking. In terms of appearance, he is much better looking than those newly promoted actors. Sometimes, even if the media and marketing accounts are frantically showing off how good a newcomer's acting skills are, as long as his acting skills are not strong enough to make up for his shortcomings, the audience would rather see good-looking actors dominate the screen.
"Is he still wearing something engraved?" The reporter from Alex magazine had a sharp eye and quickly identified the source of Ji Yan's outfit. Apart from the slightly expensive watch, Ji Yan's attire was quite approachable.
For "Engraving", it is undoubtedly the best advertisement.
The significant increase in sales of "Engraving" this year is enough to prove everything.
After all, no matter what Ji Yan wears, even if he's just dressed in rags, as one of the Best Actor nominees, he's bound to occupy a prominent place at tonight's Huayi Awards ceremony. Plus, Ji Yan's looks have always been very popular, so he's probably already all over the news about the Huayi Awards red carpet.
He Qing's only comment on the Huayi Awards red carpet was: "There were so many people."
There were far fewer veteran actors on the Huayi Awards red carpet than on the Changkong Awards red carpet, but because of the many award categories and the fact that it spanned both film and television, the red carpet was naturally star-studded.
Even so, Ji Yan's presence is still hard to ignore.
He had previously interacted with the crews of "One Me" and "Liberation" at the Chang Kong Awards, and this time they met again at the Huayi Awards, so they naturally greeted each other again.
Xi Ming smiled and shook hands with Ji Yan: "Do you have any plans to shoot a new film recently? I have a good script on hand, you can consider it if you are interested."
"I'll see when the time comes; we might release a new album later."
Xi Ming then remembered that Ji Yan still had an album to prepare: "I'll send the script to your manager. If you think it's suitable, please reply to me as soon as possible."
Although Ji Yan had a slight disagreement with Luo Yi, the director of "One Me", his relationship with Xi Ming is quite good. Although the two are competitors for several awards this year, there is no direct competition between Xi Ming and Ji Yan, after all, there is a significant age difference between them.
Xi Ming received an offer to star in a crime film. The film features a very outstanding young character, and when the production team was casting, Ji Yan was the first person Xi Ming thought of.
Xi Ming had heard about Ji Yan's rejection of Luo Yi's "Alien Invasion," but unlike the industry's widespread ridicule that Ji Yan lacked vision, Xi Ming thought Ji Yan was very courageous.
Xi Ming is also a prime example of early fame. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Chang Kong Awards at the age of 23. Before he became famous, he was very free to choose his roles and only accepted roles according to his own preferences. However, after he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Chang Kong Awards, it seems that only the words "should" and "should not" remained in his dictionary.
Everyone thought he had a bright future and should be taking on big-budget films and films by famous directors. As for those small-budget films, it seemed that if he took them, it would be short-sighted.
Xi Ming believes that as an actor, one must at least have the discerning eye to choose roles.
Blindly trusting productions by so-called "big directors" is not advisable. Even big directors can make mistakes. In many cases, an actor chooses a big director's work not because he likes it so much, but because the film can bring him the attention, connections, and awards he dreams of.
Undeniably, Ji Yan's rise to fame was inseparable from the support of two great directors, Li Xiang and Zhu Shuguang. However, after starring in "I, Nameless", he had many options, but he still chose "Girl's Love Poems", which had a very low production cost.
Ji Yan noted that Xi Ming was going to give him a script. Anyway, Ye Ying would give Ji Yan scripts she thought were of good quality every now and then, and Ji Yan would choose one or two that he liked, and then decide whether to accept them based on his schedule.
...
Ji Yan met with the crew of "The Long Ballad" after many days. After saving the day for the crew, he didn't have much contact with them. When the TV series was released, he didn't participate in the promotion with enthusiasm, and only posted a Weibo.
He never imagined that he would be nominated for Best Newcomer in the TV Drama category.
Ji Yan is not a newcomer to the film and television industry, but "The Long Ballad" is indeed the first TV series he has participated in. This meets the requirements for the Huayi Award for Best Newcomer. Previously, when the crew of "I, Nameless" submitted Ji Yan for the Huayi Award, they nominated him for Best Supporting Actor instead of Best Newcomer. However, Ji Yan was not selected for the Huayi Award and did not make it into the final competition for Best Supporting Actor.
Among the cast of "The Long Song of Lamentation", Ji Yan spotted Zhou Xingyuan.
The crew of "The Long Ballad" had heard rumors about the feud between the two. Everyone in the industry is shrewd, so they naturally knew that it was String Sound Entertainment trying to take advantage of Ji Yan. However, Zhou Xingyuan deleted his Weibo post quickly, so it didn't damage his reputation too much.
Ji Yan did not see Zhou Xingyuan among the nominated actors, but given his current fame, it is not surprising that he would attend the Huayi Awards ceremony.
Ji Yan did not take the initiative to greet Zhou Xingyuan. Instead, the other party extended his hand first: "Ji Yan, I am Zhou Xingyuan."
The other person's eyes held a half-smile, and their manners were impeccable. Ji Yan smiled slightly at the other person, but did not shake their outstretched hand: "I am not sincere enough, so I will not shake your hand."
Ji Yan greeted Chu Yunquan, Zhang Guoren, and Ji Xie, then leisurely strolled to his seat.
He didn't care what Zhou Xingyuan thought. It didn't matter if the other party thought he was impolite or deliberately trying to save face. Ji Yan was not one to be hypocritical with others, and besides, Zhou Xingyuan was not someone he could be hypocritical with.
The other actors watching this scene from the sidelines: "..."
That's really interesting.
Quite a few people in the industry still remember that scene between Ji Yan and Zhou Xingyuan. Zhou Xingyuan's line, "One day, the world will see your sincerity," has become a famous saying in the industry.
They thought the matter was over because Ji Yan didn't lose his temper later. Little did they know that Ji Yan's slap in the face, though late, was finally coming. He was just waiting for Zhou Xingyuan.
If Song Jing's behavior is considered sincere, then what is Ji Yan? His father?
In front of so many people, Ji Yan directly and bluntly mocked Zhou Xingyuan.
There are quite a few celebrities in the industry who have a grudge against Xianyin Entertainment. After all, Xianyin Entertainment takes the route of putting down other celebrities, repeatedly provoking their bottom line. When those celebrities finally lose their temper and retaliate, Xianyin Entertainment tries every means to trample them into the mud.
Most celebrities are unwilling to offend people easily. After all, the entertainment industry is only so big, and celebrities in the industry will run into each other all the time. No one knows how far the feud between celebrities will go in the future.
But this doesn't mean Zhou Xingyuan is particularly likable. When Ji Yan mocked him, the other celebrities couldn't help but feel a little schadenfreude.
"Why are you so arrogant?" He Qing looked from afar. "His face turned blue."
Even more regrettably, when Ji Yan said those words, several key members of the "The Long Song of Tears" production team were present, but not one of them spoke up for Zhou Xingyuan.
When "The Long Ballad" aired, He Qing glanced at it twice. The production was excellent and the cast was strong. It was a rare hit drama in the past two years. The plot was intricately linked and the actors' performances were outstanding.
—On the condition that Zhou Xingyuan's role has even less screen time.
"The Long Ballad" concluded with extremely high viewership ratings. When critics and ordinary viewers commented on the show, they would often start with a long praise followed by a "but..." and Zhou Xingyuan's name would usually appear afterward.
“Because I have a thick skin and I’m not afraid of offending people.” Ji Yan smiled slightly. “I didn’t say anything about him. I was talking about myself. I’m not as sincere as the people at Xianyin Entertainment. Everyone in their company, from the boss to the ants crawling on the ground, is sincere.”
During the filming of "The Vanishing Murder," He Qing was also annoyed by Song Jing. Song Jing's constant NGs forced He Qing to film the same scenes again and again. However, He Qing was not famous and did not have the confidence to deal with Song Jing. After the filming of "The Vanishing Murder," he, Yang Le, Cen Xuzhi, and Ji Yan interacted on Weibo. Song Jing was the only one missing from the cast of the film, which was enough to prove the attitude of the others.
As the two chatted, Ji Ruan walked up the steps in the aisle and happened to pass by Ji Yan's seat.
The other person still exuded the air of a noble young master, and with all the luxury brand accessories, he looked like a true superstar.
Ji Yan didn't even glance at the other person, continuing to chat with He Qing.
However, the celebrities and reporters in the room were focused on the scene when the two met. One reporter quickly snapped a photo of the moment and named it "Passing By".
