"Teacher Ji does look quite handsome today." Fang Yu told Ji Yan to stand still, while he slowly walked around behind Ji Yan and struck a cool pose for the phone camera.
When he smiled at the camera, Ji Yan also silently curved the corners of his mouth.
Fang Yu shared this photo on Weibo.
"Fresh pictures!!"
"Honestly, although the filming technique is just so-so, both Da Yu and Teacher Ji are super handsome today!"
"Is this Professor Ji's look on the red carpet for the Changkong Awards? He looks so handsome! If it weren't for the red carpet, I would hardly imagine Professor Ji dressed so formally."
The "Engraved" brand started by making suits. After inviting "Wing" to be its spokesperson, the brand gradually launched a casual series. The casual series sells much better than the brand's traditional formal wear and has become a representative of trendy brands among young consumers. After all, "Wing's" fans do not have a high demand for formal wear. Instead, the casual style is more attractive to young fans.
In fact, "Engraving" is also considering launching a women's clothing sub-line. However, women's clothing is more competitive. "Engraving" has never ventured into the women's clothing field before, but because many girls are wearing the brand's newly launched casual T-shirts, the brand came up with this idea.
Intense competition means there is a broader market behind it, and brands are well aware of this.
...
After Fang Yu posted this photo, it was immediately forwarded beyond the limit.
Fang Yu is the member of "Wings" who loves to post daily photos the most. He will occasionally upload a few photos with other members. Unfortunately, his performance is not consistent. Occasionally he can produce one or two amazing photos, but most of the time, the photos he posts are very disappointing. He can be called the number one beauty destroyer of "Wings".
But in today's picture... Fang Yu and Ji Yan both have bright smiles in the photo, the kind of smiles that go straight to their eyes. The moment fans saw their smiles, they couldn't help but smile along with them.
This is what their favorite "wing" looks like.
Always sincere, always joyful.
Many fans saved this photo with a single click; they love this group and want to record every happy moment of their lives.
"Let's go for the Changkong Award, Professor Ji!"
"Give a shout-out to Teacher Ji! Baldy Master never gives up!"
Ji Yan: "..."
He really wants to reach into his phone and drag out the guy who calls him "Bald Master" and beat him up.
Do people do things? Do people talk?
This is absolutely outrageous!!
...
At this year's Sky Awards, "The Vanishing Murder" received four nominations: Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Original Score. Since the main awards this year were concentrated on films such as "Towards Dawn," "The Wind Destroys the Border," and "Burn, Youth," "The Vanishing Murder" received a considerable number of nominations.
This year, there weren't any films as strong as "One Me" from last year. Even "Towards Dawn," which had the most nominations, only received 6 nominations, one more than "The Wind Rises at the Border."
As usual, Ji Yan walked the red carpet with He Qing.
After missing out on a nomination last year, He Qing finally won the Chang Kong Award this year for his performance in "The Vanishing Murder". Although his role as Xue Song was not as big as Song Jing and Yang Le, He Qing's performance in the film was incredibly skillful, with every glance and movement full of emotion.
After years of hard work in the entertainment industry, He Qing finally entered the mainstream.
In terms of screen time, Song Jing had a lot of room to showcase his talent in portraying Tang Shi. Unfortunately, he didn't grasp the character's personality, making the role not only flat on the big screen but also abrupt. If a different actor with better acting skills had played the role, Tang Shi would have been a much more outstanding character.
...
On the red carpet, Ji Yan smiled and waved to the fans on both sides.
He was a little nervous when he first attended the Chang Kong Awards, but now, Ji Yan is becoming more and more skilled and adaptable to the entertainment industry he is in.
The organizers of the Chang Kong Awards do not encourage celebrities to use promotional materials that claim to "outshine" the stars. The organizing committee hopes that the media and celebrities can focus on the films themselves. However, despite this, the red carpet photos posted by the official Chang Kong Awards Weibo account also favored celebrities with higher status and more outstanding appearances.
"Teacher Ji is so handsome and good-looking!!"
The moment Ji Yan appeared, not only were the fans at the scene screaming, but the live stream chat was also flooded with "Ahhhhh!" messages.
Although Ji Yan's red carpet look was simple, with a neat hairstyle and a suit that only slightly accentuated his physique, the atmosphere on the red carpet almost exploded the moment he appeared.
Cui Jinwei, who was walking in front of Ji Yan, turned around at this moment and immediately understood after seeing Ji Yan.
He attended the previous Changkong Awards as an award presenter and had already heard about Ji Yan's popularity at that time. Although the fans' shouts were enthusiastic at this moment, it was in line with Cui Jinwei's understanding of Ji Yan.
He hadn't seen a nominee as popular as Ji Yan in several years.
After the nominations for this year's Changkong Awards were announced, "The Vanished Murder" was pulled from theaters but was made available on online video platforms. Cui Jinwei spent two hours watching the entire movie. In "The Vanished Murder," the actor who impressed him the most was Ji Yan.
The actor's grasp of the role and analysis of the character's emotions were so seasoned that they didn't seem like a young actor.
Of course, this is not to say that young actors cannot do it. When Cui Jinwei was young, there were indeed such geniuses among his peers in the film industry.
This kind of situation is just relatively rare among young actors today.
To achieve this level of skill, one must thoroughly study the script, understand the character, and be willing to work hard. In the script of "The Vanishing Murder," talent is also very important.
After all, the movie "The Vanishing Murderer" is not a story about good people getting good rewards. Everyone in the movie is a negative character, including Cheng Yuan, who goes from being a victim to a perpetrator. Negative characters are easily stereotyped by young actors. They imagine a negative image in their minds and then act according to their imagination—after all, in real life, young actors who are used to being pampered rarely encounter negative characters.
Young actors are usually reluctant to play villains, fearing that playing them too often will solidify their image and hinder their further development in the entertainment industry.
However, Cui Jinwei felt that Ji Yan probably didn't have this kind of trouble.
Excellent actors are always like this: they choose roles, but not screen time or highlight moments; they only choose roles that interest them and are challenging.
...
On the live chat, fans were still showering the viewers with compliments.
"Is Teacher Ji radiating good fortune now? He looks even more handsome than when he debuted!"
"It's not just Teacher Ji, it's the same for everyone in the Wings Group."
Top-tier celebrities are always radiant, the center of attention in front of the camera, and the focus of fans' eyes, no matter the occasion.
Ji Yan seemed to walk more steadily than others on the red carpet.
After walking the red carpet, Ji Yan accepted a brief interview with the host. He had heard the same questions last year, so it was easy for him to answer. However, He Qing struggled for quite a while when he was interviewed.
He Qing already garnered a lot of attention at last year's Huayi Awards, and this year when he participated in the Changkong Awards, his mindset was much more stable than last year.
Of course, in terms of the lineup of attendees, the Changkong Awards are much higher in status than the Huayi Awards. Especially after entering the auditorium, the two of them chatted with the seniors in the industry. At this moment, He Qing felt like an insignificant weed, while the guests around him were all big names.
In fact, Ji Yan wasn't much better than He Qing. He wasn't good at dealing with people in the industry. He was okay with directors like Li Xiang and Zhu Shuguang, whom he knew a bit better, but he didn't know where to start a conversation with other people. He could only answer their questions.
In reality, these small talk didn't involve much about the film itself. Many big names in the film industry came up directly to ask Ji Yan about his experience investing in "The Vanished Murderer," and several seniors were asking him about the specifics of the film and television support program. The "Wing" program had been running for a while but hadn't really taken off. "The Vanished Murderer" made the program an instant hit with its nearly 1.8 billion yuan box office.
Currently, not only low-budget films are hoping to receive support from the "Wings" program, but even some medium-sized films hope that the "Wings" program can participate in them. In addition to hoping to receive financial support from the "Wings" program, they also want to share some of the risks in the film production process.
There's a certain amount of superstition in the film industry. "The Vanishing Murderer" made 90 times its cost, which is a miracle among miracles in the film industry. The only film with such an amazing return on investment is the famous chainsaw horror movie, which is now a globally renowned IP series. As for "The Vanishing Murderer," some film companies have tried to persuade Lu Ming to make a sequel, but Lu Ming just couldn't bring himself to say anything.
"The key is that someone told me that the sequel should be about Xiao Xiao being moved by Cheng Yuan's revenge in heaven and asking the gods to help Cheng Yuan be resurrected."
Ji Yan: "…………"
The ellipsis represents his feelings, so he had to type one more.
This not only violates core values, but also the fundamental principle that it is forbidden for beings to become spirits.
Several other companies, however, had no intention of making a sequel. They just wanted to ride the coattails of "The Vanishing Murderer's" success, hoping to get some investment from the "Wing" project or have Ji Yan invest a few million. They weren't aiming for a 90-fold return on investment, but even a 10-fold return would be acceptable.
Ji Yan said that no matter how many times, he is still moved by the efforts of these production crews outside of filming.
...
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ji Yan felt his face was almost frozen from smiling. Before the awards ceremony started, he sent Ning Wei several panda emojis, almost all of them pandas with their hands on their hips saying they were bored.
Ning Wei was probably busy and didn't reply to Ji Yan for a long time.
Just before the awards ceremony was about to begin, a rabbit appeared in Ji Yan's chat window, and Ning Wei replied to Ji Yan: "I'm going to watch the live stream."
Ji Yan asked curiously, "Live broadcast of the Changkong Awards red carpet?"
Ning Wei said, "I only watched your part on the red carpet; I'm watching this live stream."
He silently sent Ji Yan a link to a Panda TV channel.
Ji Yan: "...You've gone a bit too far, Teacher Ning."
She actually secretly watched Panda TV's live stream behind his back!!!
However, Ning Wei wasn't just watching Panda TV; he was also playing with his cat while watching the live stream. After receiving the Panda TV link, Ning Wei also sent a video of a "sexy conch shell trying to please its owner online."
Ji Yan: "Hmph, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
Ruthless! Evil!
Ji Yan was already feeling bored even before the awards ceremony started. He would have to sit still for several hours, and just imagining that scene made him feel several years older.
Teacher Ning from his family has clearly become addicted to posting cat videos.
The conch was also a bad thing. It usually ignored Ji Yan's attempts to please it. Ning Wei didn't even need to coax it much. The cat would fawn over it, acting cute, licking its fur, and even lying on the ground letting Ning Wei pet it.
Ha, a disgrace to the cat world.
“You can’t touch it.” Ning Wei not only typed these four words, but also sent a provocative rabbit emoji.
Ji Yan: "...I'm really angry, I'm not pretending."
"I know."
Ning Wei pressed his phone, and sure enough, a panda emoji appeared in the chat box, looking sullen and angry. He could almost imagine that if Ji Yan were in front of him right now, the other party would probably be in the same fierce and menacing state.
So he slowly typed out four words—
Come back soon.
Although they had only been apart for a day, he already couldn't help but miss her.
