The reporters practically witnessed the red carpet transform from stagnant water to boiling water.
Ji Yan and Ning Wei!
Leaving aside Ji Yan, who was nominated for Best Actor at the Chang Kong Awards, how long has it been since Ning Wei walked the red carpet?
The reporters at the scene couldn't remember anymore.
Given that "Blue" rarely participates in even commercial performances, it would be extremely difficult to find evidence that Ning Wei ever attended a red carpet event; that would probably be something from a very, very long time ago.
But at this moment, Ning Wei and Ji Yan did indeed appear together on the red carpet of the Chang Kong Awards. Both of them were dressed in low-key black suits with extremely close tailoring. Perhaps because they were both thin and tall, they easily attracted everyone's attention when they walked onto the red carpet.
"So handsome!!"
"I just realized that Da Ning is actually a little bit taller than Teacher Ji. What an amazing height difference."
"Ning Wei doesn't usually participate in events, so I had no idea—he's in such a great physique!!"
The "engraved" design is not ostentatious, but it perfectly highlights the physical advantages of Ji Yan and Ning Wei.
Ning Wei is not a singer who follows the traffic route, and his face is not considered top-notch in the entertainment industry, but he has always given people a calm feeling. This is also true on the red carpet. Although he doesn't wave enthusiastically, when his eyes look to both sides of the red carpet, the screams of the fans are enough to shatter people's eardrums.
"Ning Wei!!!"
"Ahhhhh, what an amazing couple!!"
"Should I thank Teacher Ji for becoming best friends with Da Ning? I can't believe I've seen Da Ning walk the red carpet in my lifetime!!"
In the live stream of the Changkong Awards red carpet, fans were frantically spamming the chat ever since Ji Yan and Ning Wei appeared. This was not only because Ning Wei and Ji Yan appeared together on the red carpet, but also because... their red carpet outfits were inexplicably a perfect match!
Ji Yan was a bit more lively on the red carpet, greeting fans on both sides, while Ning Wei was more reserved, but he walked side by side with Ji Yan the whole time, and the scene... felt very gentle.
"Am I the only one who noticed? Their designs are from the same company, even their watches are the same model!!"
"I'm in tears. After 'Leap' and 'Reverse Time', Teacher Ning and Teacher Ji are secretly giving us sweet moments again."
"The watch brand has already claimed it; they posted two Weibo posts in a row, they look really excited lol~"
"The suit is from the domestic brand Engraving. Did Engraving do the red carpet styling for the Wings Group before?"
The watch is a brand endorsed by "Yi," so fans naturally assumed that the reason Ning Wei would wear a watch from the same brand must be—
"Was it a gift from Teacher Ji?"
"Oh my god!!!"
"Right now, I wish I could be Teacher Ji myself. Seriously, is there no one else who's shipping Teacher Ning and Teacher Ji with me? Their sweetness is just too much."
"I need some explanation!"
The live chat was immediately flooded with various details of Ji Yan and Ning Wei's interactions, unearthed by fans.
They were photographed going out to see a movie, have hot pot, and stroll together.
A row of "blue" albums was accidentally revealed in a video on the official Weibo account of "Wings," tour souvenirs that Duan Yiran posted on Weibo, and guitars and violins that are the same as Ning Wei's...
Not to mention their musical collaboration, Ning Wei also covered the song "Fighting Maniac" this time.
In another interview, Duan Yiran appeared to have a chat interface between Ning Wei and Ji Yan shown in the footage.
However, fans suspect that the picture is fake. Ning Wei is known for her aloofness, so how could she have so many cute emojis?
Moreover, the group name is very suspicious. It's called "Fate Connects Us" – what an incredibly tacky name! Even their 70-year-old grandparents wouldn't bother using it.
The red carpet wasn't long, but reporters started taking pictures from the moment the couple stepped onto it and continued until they reached the end of the red carpet.
At the same time, Ji Yan and Ning Wei's names became trending topics on Weibo.
Under the official Weibo account for "Engraving," there are now countless comments from fans requesting the same watch. As for the matching watches worn by Ji Yan and Ning Wei—the brand's stock was already sold out before the two even finished walking the red carpet.
"I would call Teacher Ji and Teacher Ning the kings of live-streaming sales. The only regret is that they didn't wear jewelry this time."
"The traffic and popularity... are simply terrifying."
Ji Yan was interviewed at the end of the red carpet. The host asked him about his thoughts on being nominated, and Ji Yan exchanged a few simple pleasantries.
Ning Wei looked at him silently: "You didn't prepare an acceptance speech?"
“Because the chances of winning are too low.” Ji Yan sighed, but soon he gently patted Ning Wei’s shoulder, “When I’m confident of winning an award, I’ll definitely let you see it.”
Ning Wei's gaze fell on his fingers, and she nodded gently: "Okay."
This was Ji Yan's second time attending the Chang Kong Awards, and he was naturally no longer nervous. As one of the nominees for Best Actor, he was seated in the center with the best view, alongside the cast of "Youthful Love Poems." Ning Wei was seated next to him, and the two of them had informed the organizing committee in advance.
After sitting for a while, Zhu Shuguang, Lu Yu, and the others arrived.
Although Ning Wei's expertise differs from theirs in the entertainment industry, they are not strangers to each other. Lu Yu and Zhu Shuguang even lamented that they should have invited Ning Wei to sing the theme song back then.
"You think I don't want to invite you?" Zhu Shuguang spread his hands. "You pay for it."
Please next time.
Lu Yu was in high spirits when good things happened. After losing money for many years, he finally broke even. The feeling was like finding money on the ground.
He has worked with Zhu Shuguang for many years and has always been a walking sucker in the industry. Although he has abundant funds and has not yet gone bankrupt, others look at him with the eyes that he is about to go bankrupt.
The consequence of this is that even if he finds a popular project he is willing to invest in, the project owner will refuse, because the project owner does not want to lose money.
As for the fact that "Young Love Poems" was nominated for the Changkong Award, Lu Yu was not surprised. Zhu Shuguang's films have been nominated for the Changkong Award for several years, and "Young Love Poems" is quite outstanding in terms of quality among the nominated films.
Of course, the strongest nominated film this year is still "One Me". The film has high box office and sufficient recognition among the public. In addition, Xi Ming's outstanding performance makes "One Me" undoubtedly a hot favorite for this year's Changkong Awards, even though the award winners have not yet been determined.
...
After the awards ceremony began, Ji Yan and Ning Wei would occasionally lower their heads and whisper to each other.
Ji Yan was mainly worried that Ning Wei would be bored.
The atmosphere at the Changkong Awards was quite serious. Of course, the celebrities would chat, but only occasionally. Today, Ji Yan, the youngest nominee, was already the focus of the cameras, and now with Ning Wei added to the mix, he received even more attention from the cameras.
"Why are you all sitting together? Something's not right!"
"These two teachers are being a bit too oblivious to others; it's going too far."
"...It's all because the internet is so developed. I'm 1,500 kilometers away from City A, but I still got a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection)."
"Ahem, watch out, Mr. Xi Ming in the front row has been watching you two several times."
Ji Yan and Xi Ming were no strangers. Ji Yan had been introduced to Xi Ming by Li Xiang during the previous Changkong Award. When Xi Ming looked over, Ji Yan greeted him. Xi Ming smiled and nodded to Ning Wei from afar.
Ji Yan discovered that Ning Wei's social circle was actually much wider than he had imagined; being bad at socializing did not mean that she did not know anyone.
...
The first awards presented at the Chang Kong Awards were still for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. The Best Supporting Actress award was presented by Zhang Jingyi, the winner of last year's Best Supporting Actor award. The winner was a highly respected senior figure in the industry who had received the Chang Kong Awards' Lifetime Achievement Award a few years ago. Despite being over 80 years old, he is still active on the film stage.
The Best Supporting Actor award went to Zhong Heng for his role in "One Me," where he delivered a series of brilliant performances alongside Xi Ming.
Ji Yan hadn't seen many of the films nominated for the Long Sky Award. He doesn't usually go out much, and "Wing" has always been very busy. However, when he saw the movie clips playing on the big screen, Ji Yan couldn't help but sigh that there are indeed many actors with great acting skills.
He learned a lot of filming experience and skills on the set of "The Long Song of Lament", but... the performance in the movie is undoubtedly more delicate and subtle than that in the TV series. Zhong Heng's performance in "One Me" was almost seamless.
When filming "Young Love Poems", Ji Yan felt that He Qing's acting skills were already quite impressive. The crew also nominated He Qing for Best Supporting Actor, but He Qing was not nominated. One reason for this was that he had few scenes. The competition for Best Supporting Actor at this year's Chang Kong Awards was quite fierce. Several films with two male leads chose to nominate one of them for Best Actor and the other for Best Supporting Actor.
On the other hand, his competitors were too formidable.
After the awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress were presented, the atmosphere at the event was no longer as tense as it had been at the beginning. The audience paid little attention to the technical awards that followed. To make the awards ceremony less boring, the Changkong Awards organizing committee specially arranged a few interesting segments.
Ji Yan was caught on camera and asked to sing a song on the spot.
Ji Yan sang the theme song for "Young Love Poems".
"Hehehe, I was actually looking forward to Da Ning singing 'Healing,' but unfortunately he didn't appear in the performance segment."
"Teacher Ning is busy chatting, please don't mention it."
"Right now, I really want to sit next to them and listen to what they're talking about."
In fact, the content of their conversation was far less sophisticated than fans imagined.
Ji Yan said, "I should have brought the cookies with me. I could have just taken a bite when the cameras weren't looking."
Ning Wei started feeling around in her pockets, and after feeling half of them, she told him, "There's no candy in this dress."
"I'm so hungry."
"I'm hungry too."
"The organizing committee should provide meals."
Lu Yu overheard their conversation: "You should eat more before you come over."
"Because we're growing."
Lu Yu: "..."
He didn't want to talk anymore.
Young people are really annoying.
Tsk.
...
The awards ceremony continued for a while, and finally the Best Original Film Song award was to be presented.
The nominated songs included "Walking Alone," the theme song for the film "One Me," and "Blindly Following," the theme song for a rock documentary sung by Qi Zhao. Although "Healing" was nominated, the award ultimately went to "Walking Alone."
This is partly because "Blue" had already won the Sky Award once before, and partly because the film "My Beloved" had a very low profile. In terms of the film's competitiveness, "My Beloved" cannot be compared with "One Me".
Ji Yan patted Ning Wei on the shoulder to comfort her: "Teacher Ning, come sing the theme song for my award-winning film next time, and you'll win an award too."
“Okay.” Ning Wei extended her hand, hooking her little finger together. “It’s settled.”
Ji Yan hooked his finger around his: "It's a deal."
