After Yue Shao and the other three came on stage, they walked directly to Liu Xihe without much hesitation.
"Hey, why do you feel distracted?"
Su Yin glanced at Liu Xihe and expressed great concern about her condition.
"Really?" Liu Xihe laughed with difficulty, then touched his nose embarrassedly: "I'm just a little too sleepy. But congratulations, you won another award."
Gao Yanyan glanced at them and was a little surprised to find that these five girls kept a certain distance from her.
After all, when he went to other occasions, it was these female artists who took the initiative to lean towards him.
Zhou Yiyang looked at the two male artists sitting next to him and joked, "Do you feel a little regretful for not being selected?"
Luo Chen shook his head, very self-aware of his own popularity: "In terms of voting, I've never beaten him. Anyway, I comfort myself that winning this award won't change anything, so I feel at ease."
Ling Hu did show a hint of disappointment: "Don't call me boring, but I actually went to watch the real-time voting when I had nothing to do."
"That's quite boring." Zhou Yiyang said directly.
"At the beginning, the vote counts between the three of us were pretty close," Ling Hu glanced at the bewildered Luo Chen and continued, "But then his vote count suddenly skyrocketed, and the gap gradually widened. I guess the fans realized the gap was too big, so their enthusiasm for voting dropped a lot."
Dong Yinyin, who was sitting next to them, smiled and said, "Ticket rigging? That's normal. But for an event like this, ticket rigging is necessary. The idol image is too heavy. Chen Bing spent a lot of money on him."
Her voice was not loud, and in the noisy hall, only a few people nearby could hear it.
But the information revealed by Dong Yinyin surprised Luo Chen and Ling Hu a little.
Zhou Yiyang looked calm. He had heard similar rumors from other people before and was not surprised.
But Dong Yinyin seemed to have revealed more.
"Chen Bing, is he his agent?" Zhou Yiyang asked softly. "He doesn't seem to have brought out any other artists. I always thought Gao Yanyan's huge success had little to do with his agent."
"Mr. Zhou," Dong Yinyin said tactfully, "There are some things I'm not comfortable discussing. But Chen Bing is definitely more than he appears. Gao Yanyan has secured so many high-end endorsements, isn't that just the image Chen Bing has created for him as the entertainment industry's top star?"
Luo Chen and Ling Hu were stunned. They seemed to know nothing about their competitor who had been their rival since their debut.
Zhou Yiyang nodded and said nonchalantly, "I usually don't meddle with other people's affairs. But hearing one more piece of gossip is interesting."
The host presented the very extravagant-looking trophies to the three groups of artists on the stage before starting the next round of performances.
After returning to her seat, Wang Xingrui was still worried about Liu Xihe's condition: "Don't you think she's been acting strangely today?"
"Who?" Zhou Yiyang turned around and asked. His first reaction was that it was Gao Yanyan, probably because this person had a strong presence tonight.
"Liu Xihe," Lin Xuan'er whispered, "Brother Yang, you don't know, but after we went on stage just now, Liu Xihe was absent-minded, as if something was bothering her. We were all very worried."
"Really?" Zhou Yiyang glanced behind him. Liu Xihe was sitting in the row behind them, far right. She was chatting and laughing with the person next to her, looking quite normal. "Maybe she found the party too boring. If you're worried, you can ask her on WeChat."
Wen Yuan happily said to Dong Yinyin, "See? The four of them get along very well with other artists. They never become enemies just because they are in competition with them."
"That's really good," Dong Yinyin said awkwardly, "but unfortunately I'm not that broad-minded, so I can't do that."
The next person to perform on stage was Liu Xihe.
She also sang in a chorus this time, and the person she sang with was a middle-aged male actor whose popularity has soared recently.
"How did he become so famous?" Wen Yuan, who didn't watch many TV dramas, asked curiously.
"I know that," Tang Yue, familiar with all the gossip in the industry, immediately said, "He starred in a low-budget web drama, and who knew that the drama would become a minor hit? As a result, the male and female leads in the drama didn't become famous, but he, the villain in the concert, became famous instead."
Liu Xihe on the stage was still very normal, and his singing level was as stable as ever.
The male actor next to him was not much better, and everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard it.
Ling Hu was completely relieved at this time. He had never expected that there would be many people who sang as well as him tonight, no, even worse than him.
"Sister Wen," Ling Hu said with some pride, "Singing with me is still better than many others."
"Yeah," Wen Yuan nodded. "But it doesn't matter who I sing with. After all, everyone is listening to me sing!"
After getting familiar with them, Wen Yuan would also joke with them, making everyone laugh.
Soon, it was time for Wen Yuan and Ling Hu to perform.
When the two came on stage, the cheers from the audience were quite enthusiastic.
Zhou Yiyang even heard someone jokingly say, "Finally, I can wash my ears!"
He sighed, "Although actors have more traffic now, evening parties should still invite more singers."
Dong Yinyin shared the same sentiment: "That's true. I was obviously more famous a few years ago, but not many parties invited me. It's not like now. Turn on any channel and all the singers are actors. Only your party, President Zhou, has not forgotten its original intention."
Gao Yanyan lowered her head and said to Chen Bing beside her, "Why is Ling Hu hooking up with Wen Yuan?"
"This must be Zhou Yiyang's connections." Chen Bing didn't seem to care much about it. "You're the soloist, and he's the chorus, so you're definitely treated better."
"After he joined Yiyang Entertainment, his resources have improved a lot." Gao Yanyan snorted coldly: "Didn't you swear before that he was just trying to trick you and would compete with Luo Chen for resources?"
"That's true for most people," Chen Bing said helplessly. "But Mr. Zhou is different. He completely builds his own cake and provides resources tailored to the artists. We can't compare to him in this respect."
"Their popularity is growing," Gao Yanyan said with a fake smile. "And Moonlight Girl, the most popular girl of our generation. Are the various pretensions you created for me almost gone?"
Chen Bing frowned. "Why are you worrying so much? At least whenever you attend an event, you're always the last one to appear, and you always take center stage in group photos."
After Wen Yuan picked up the microphone, everyone immediately shut up.
