The entire "Wings" group has the physique of tall, long-legged models. At first glance, the TR suits may not seem particularly eye-catching, but they fit them perfectly. The clean cuts complement the youthful and cheerful aura. The white shirts, which may have looked a bit old-fashioned, eliminated the youthful awkwardness of the "Wings" group, giving them a more mature look on the red carpet.
"Ahhhhh, he's so handsome!"
The reporters in the front row could clearly hear the screams coming from the back.
Indeed, the impact was enormous from the moment "Wings" stepped onto the red carpet.
"Wings" are known in the entertainment industry for their outstanding looks. They rarely look bad on TV cameras unless the members deliberately make funny faces. And now, when they are in close contact, the handsome faces of the young men are revealed without reservation.
"Wings" aren't conventionally pretty boys, nor do they have an effeminate air. When they smile at the camera, the radiant energy surrounding the four is captivating. And when the members wave to the sides of the red carpet, a glimpse of their wrists peeking out from under their sleeves immediately caught the fans' attention—
"My idol is absolutely gorgeous!!"
"Mommy!! My idol walked the red carpet at the Changkong Awards!"
The Changkong Awards red carpet was broadcast live by multiple media outlets. On Weibo, official entertainment media and marketing accounts also diligently posted high-definition photos of various celebrities on the red carpet.
"Yi Ling walked the red carpet in a D brand haute couture gown; the huge train was absolutely stunning."
"Sister, this enchanting flower has struck my heart. It's incredibly beautiful, the lighting is amazing, and I give the retoucher a hundred points."
In addition to official red carpet photos, celebrities' management companies and studios also reveal their stars' looks on their official Weibo accounts. As soon as "Wings" finished walking the red carpet, the media and marketing accounts released real-time red carpet photos. "Wings"' official Weibo account also released the members' looks before walking the red carpet.
"So handsome!! Absolutely stunning! I want to lick the screen!"
"Xie Mingxuan, Lu Weifang, Yu Jiyan! They really are blessed with good fortune."
The members of the "Tsubasa" group during the "Idol Generation" era were handsome enough, and there were some viral photos of them during the show's broadcast. However, after their debut, as the group gradually faded into obscurity, fewer and fewer people mentioned the members' good looks.
But now, from last year's Night Gala to this year's Sky Awards red carpet, every red carpet appearance of "Wings" is stunning enough.
"Wings" rarely wear suits; most of the time, their attire is quite casual. One netizen even posted a photo of Lu Wei wearing a thick cotton-padded coat when he went home for the Spring Festival—although his handsomeness couldn't be hidden even in a floral cotton-padded coat, "Wings" are not the kind of idols who put too much emphasis on their styling.
As it turns out, "Yi" just didn't care. Once they started to care, all the fans could do was frantically take screenshots and yell "Ahhhhh!"
Because—he's really handsome!
The suits were tailored as if they were made for them, making their already long legs stand out even more on camera. Fans were used to the members' casual demeanor, but watching the red carpet live, the "Wings" members exuded a sense of restraint, as if they had suddenly revealed the charm of mature men.
Of course, their smiles are still the familiar look of the Wings group that fans know and love.
"Sigh, I always look forward to seeing the Wings group's outfits, no matter the occasion. They're practically walking clothes hangers!"
"+1+1+1, it feels like my son has evolved into my husband."
During the post-red carpet interview, after signing autographs, the members of "Wings" were stopped by the host: "Members of the Wings group, please come here for a group photo."
The nickname "Wings" isn't just used by fans; colleagues in the industry also like to call them that. Some even call them the Chicken Wings group because chicken wings sound tastier, and "Wings" sounds a bit awkward.
After Ji Yan and the others finished taking a group photo, the male host stood in the middle of them with a smile: "Please take a group photo of me with them too. My daughter really likes you guys, so she'll be willing to put my picture in her bedroom."
"If it were me, I would probably cut off the middle part."
"Hahaha, wouldn't that hurt Dad's feelings too much?"
Next came the routine interview segment. The host first asked "Yi" about his feelings about being nominated for Best Original Film Song, and then asked Ji Yan about his feelings about being nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
"I feel very honored, especially when my name is listed alongside several very talented actors. It's both a surprise and a reminder to me," Ji Yan replied earnestly.
Have you considered playing more outstanding roles in the future?
Ji Yan pondered for a moment: "After I learn how to act and improve my acting skills, I might consider it. For me, being nominated for the Sky Award this time was an accident, but if I really want to develop in the film industry, an accident alone is not enough."
"Teacher Ji, a man of profound wisdom!"
"Teacher Yan said before that he would still focus on his main job in the 'Wings' group. According to reliable sources, the Wings group's second album will be released soon."
"real???"
"I both hope that Ji Yan will continue to develop in the Wings Group, and I also feel that it is a pity that he is not acting with his talent."
Because of Ji Yan's outstanding performance in the movie "I, Nameless", he is considered by the outside world to be a rare and talented actor. In fact, after it was revealed that Ji Yan would play the role of He Tang, there were some doubts on the Internet, but the doubts completely disappeared after "I, Nameless".
No one questioned Li Xiang's reasons for choosing Ji Yan anymore.
His first film grossed 3 billion yuan and earned him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at the Chang Kong Awards.
Although the film's failure had nothing to do with Ji Yan, at least the character He Tang was remembered by the audience, which is an achievement that many actors could never reach in their entire careers in the entertainment industry.
...
The "Wings" group entered the auditorium of the Arts Center and found their seats according to the staff's directions. The four of them sat side by side, with their seats on the right side in the middle. The other Best Song nominees were seated slightly further back, since Ji Yan was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and the other nominated actors were all seated in this area.
Compared to the Night Ceremony, the auditorium of the Changkong Awards was much more solemn. After the "Wings" group took their seats, Zhang Jingyi, who played Noda in "I, Nameless", also sat down: "Xiao Yan, good evening."
"Brother Zhang."
Zhang Jingyi and Ji Yan did not have any scenes together in the movie, but they met when they attended a movie event. The latter is a hot favorite for Best Supporting Actor at this year's Chang Kong Awards. His portrayal of Noda in the movie made the audience hate him so much that there was even a meme of "Wei Zheng beating up Noda" online, which is enough to prove that the character is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
However, Zhang Jingyi also has obvious disadvantages. First, he is the youngest among the nominees besides Ji Yan. Second, the character he plays, Noda, is a complete villain. According to incomplete statistics, in the history of the Chang Kong Awards, the supporting actor award has only been given to villains three times. The Chang Kong Awards have been held 62 times so far, and this year is the 63rd. A total of 124 supporting actors and actresses have been selected, including three villainous roles.
In this cohort, besides him, Ji Yan played a positive role as He Tang in the film, while Lian Huai, Shu Wu, Yun Gui, and other senior actors mostly played Ci He's father.
However, the winners of the Chang Kong Award are always shrouded in mystery, and the results will not be revealed until the very last moment. Even the most favored actors before the awards ceremony may be surprisingly disappointed.
Ji Yan remained calm. No matter how tense and exciting the awards ceremony was, it wouldn't be his turn. His nomination was already a surprise, let alone winning.
Before the ceremony began, "Wing" greeted director Li Xiang, who had recently started preparing for a new film. He asked Ji Yan if he was interested in playing a role in his new film, but Ji Yan quickly declined.
Director Li Xiang looked disgusted: "Forget it, what's with that expression? You're not suitable for the role in my new film."
Ji Yan muttered under his breath, "...Then why did you call me?"
Li Xiang: "It's because of your disgusted look. I'm asking you to film a movie, not sending you to the execution ground."
Ji Yan thought to himself, no, the feeling of filming was not much different from going to the execution ground.
...
After the ceremony began, the "Wings" group started to feel happy about their seating arrangement. Their area was for the Best Supporting Actor nominees, and across the aisle were the Best Actor and Best Actress nominees, as well as several film stars. This gave them the feeling that the characters from TV shows had suddenly appeared in front of them.
Many celebrities are also quite curious about the members of "Wings". After all, young people rarely appear at the Changkong Awards ceremony. Even for awards such as film and television songs, the nominees are usually established music stars.
The Chang Kong Awards ceremony was exclusively broadcast on Huaying Channel. In a sense, the Chang Kong Awards are an official film award, and the ceremony was hosted by Huaying Channel's top anchor.
"Wouldn't the first award be Best Supporting Actor?" Xie Mingxuan asked.
"According to the usual procedure, yes."
The awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress were presented first, serving as a warm-up for the awards ceremony. The awards for technical categories, such as Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Score, were presented in the middle of the ceremony. The major awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Film were presented in the final segment.
The first award announced was, as expected, the Best Supporting Actor award, presented by veteran actress Tan Ning, who was active on the big screen in the 1970s and continues to achieve great success to this day.
"This year, five actors have become the most outstanding supporting actors in the film. They have worked hard and dedicated themselves to the film, and their shining brilliance will be deeply remembered by people."
The performance clips of the five nominees were then played on the large screen at the venue.
In "Life is Like the Sea", Wu Yun plays a father searching for his lost child. He spends his whole life searching but never finds him. His wife passes away with regret, and he lives in pain and remorse every day.
On the screen, tears welled up in Wu Yun's aged eyes, dripping onto his food and into his mouth, moistening his chapped lips. Yet, the bitterness in his tears was conveyed through the screen.
In "Alone in a Strange Land," Lian Huaishu plays a pig butcher. His fierce appearance makes it hard to associate him with the real Lian Huaishu, who is known for his good temper in the entertainment industry.
The third scene to be released was Ji Yan's performance in "I, Nameless".
In the scene, He Tang's selfless acceptance of death is enough to show anyone the light in his eyes. He is a scholar who is powerless, but also a resolute hero.
In just a few dozen seconds, the character was brought to life. He Tang's gentleness and determination made the character unforgettable.
The camera pans to Ji Yan at this moment, who is resting his chin on his hand and gazing at the big screen with a gentle smile.
He is different from He Tang—that's how the audience feels right now.
But he created He Tang, and he is the reason why He Tang is remembered.
