At 6:30, the makeup artist arranged by the TV station knocked on the door on time. Fang Yang opened the door and saw a man and a woman carrying a small suitcase. The man was still knocking when he saw Fang Yang open the door. He quickly introduced himself, "Hello, Mr. Fang, I am Tony, the makeup artist who is here to do your makeup. It is an honor to serve you."
Fang Yang nodded, "Tony, thank you for your help. Just keep it simple, don't make it too complicated. Just make sure it doesn't distort under the lights."
Tony helped Fang Yang sit down in a chair and carefully examined him for a while. "Mr. Fang, your skin is amazing, even better than most girls' skin. You don't need much makeup. Just a little foundation, paired with your buzz cut, makes you look so sharp. As for clothing, I suggest a solid-colored suit, shirt, and tie. No need for any other accessories. What do you think?"
Seeing that Tony's suggestion was quite reasonable, Fang Yang smiled and said, "Let's do it your way, I have no objection."
Tony took out scissors and trimmed Fang Yang's hair a bit before applying foundation to Fang Yang's face. He then looked at Fang Yang with satisfaction and said, "President Fang has such a great foundation. He was born to be on stage. I feel like my makeup skills are going to be out of a job!"
Fang Yang stood up to see Tony and his colleague off, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Tony. Hurry up and do the makeup for the others; you'll probably be very busy today."
Tony knocked on Wang Jialiang's door. "Then I won't bother you any longer, Mr. Fang. You go about your business. A staff member will come to call you in a bit. Please wait patiently."
Before closing the door, Fang Yang glanced at Zhou Xin's room. There was no sound from inside; she was probably putting on makeup or changing clothes. It wasn't a good time to disturb her.
I went back to my room and changed into a gray suit, shirt, and tie. I also pulled out a pair of leather shoes I'd never worn before and put them on. I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror and felt like I was being a bit too formal, but there was nothing I could do. Awards ceremonies usually require men to wear suits and ties and women to wear evening gowns; it's a rather formal occasion, so I couldn't be too casual about what I was wearing.
With some time still left, Fang Yang stood by the window, gazing at the surging crowd at the entrance of the club. Many fans, holding up cheering signs, were forming their own groups under the organization of their fan leaders. Although chaotic, the groups were gradually becoming orderly.
Fang Yang, an artist under Yuewen Entertainment Media, is prohibited from organizing fan activities, so you will never see fans picking him up at the airport or organizing fan groups to cheer him on in most places, and you can forget about fan culture.
However, everyone is different, and people's hearts are unpredictable. The second male lead, who became famous overnight after filming "Loser Men and Women" under Fu Ming's direction, repeatedly violated the rules by engaging in fan culture activities. After Fang Yang found out, he was directly dismissed as a warning to others. Now, no artist under Yuewen Entertainment Media dares to cross this red line.
Bringing the topic back, among the fans, there were also a large number of reporters holding microphones and cameras, each occupying a good position. Almost the entire afternoon had passed, and these people did not show the slightest sign of fatigue. On the contrary, they were all in high spirits, their mouths opening and closing, seemingly saying something unintelligible.
A dozen minutes later, staff members began to take their positions at the entrance. In the best spot at the entrance, the cameras from Hunan TV were already in place, and two hosts in red suits were holding microphones and starting to warm up the audience.
Fang Yang checked the time; it was already 6:50. It seemed that celebrities would be entering soon. There were only 40 minutes left before the awards ceremony officially started, which was the perfect time for some minor celebrities to enter. Otherwise, if everyone crowded in at the same time, wouldn't it be chaotic?
At seven o'clock, the first van arrived at the door. The five people inside got out of the van, straightened their clothes, and then stepped onto the red carpet. They slowly walked, giving the reporters plenty of time to take pictures. Fang Yang was very anxious from a distance because he didn't recognize any of them!
Just as they reached the middle, the second van arrived. The van was full of tough guys, dressed in suits and sunglasses, looking like bodyguards. But they weren't. The five of them strode across the red carpet and quickly overtook the first group. Under the flashing lights, they signed their names, answered a brief question from the host, and then disappeared into the convention center!
The five-person group, who were dawdling and trying to get on camera, felt extremely awkward when they saw that the second group had already entered. They quickened their pace slightly, but the third group's van had already arrived. This group was even faster and had overtaken the first group in the blink of an eye. After signing their names, they entered the convention center.
Fang Yang couldn't help but laugh out loud. Where did this weirdo come from? To try and get screen time like this is something that happens only once in ten years.
Just as they were laughing, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Zhou Xin's call, "Fang Yang, open the door quickly, we're leaving."
When Fang Yang opened the door, Zhou Xin, dressed in an evening gown, stood gracefully in the doorway. Her hair was styled in a high bun, revealing her swan-like neck, delicate face, and a sparkling diamond necklace beneath her deep cleavage. For a moment, Fang Yang was momentarily stunned.
Zhou Xinying smiled and took Fang Yang's arm, "Hurry up and let's go, Zhou Yi and the others are still waiting downstairs."
Fang Yang closed the door behind him. "Didn't they say a staff member would come to call me? I didn't see any staff member knocking."
"I told them to go down and wait. Let's go, it should be our turn to wait for the bus to enter soon."
After entering the elevator and pressing the button for the second basement level, Fang Yang asked, "Have all the company personnel gone down? What procedure did we follow to enter the site?"
"Of course we'll enter as part of the film crew. Our group consists of the four main actors plus you."
"Didn't Director Huang and the others invite you?"
"No, I don't think so. I didn't see him. Maybe he came in with another group."
As soon as the elevator doors opened, Zhou Yi, Zhu Qi, and the other two were waiting not far from the elevator doors. The three of them were telling jokes from time to time. When they saw Fang Yang and Zhou Xin coming over, they looked at each other and then came over to greet them.
"Mr. Fang, it's been a long time! You've gotten even more handsome!"
"Hello, Mr. Fang, hello, Ms. Zhou, you two look so well-matched today."
······
Fang Yang stopped the three of them from showering him with compliments, "Didn't you say there would be staff to guide us? Where are they?"
Zhu Qi pointed to a girl directing the nanny vans, "Isn't that her? She's probably arranging for our vans to come over. She just said there were only a few groups left."
Following Zhu Qi's finger, Fang Yang saw a slightly chubby girl directing the vehicles. There were three other people with her, one of whom was getting into a van that had just arrived. Judging from this, there should be about three more groups.
Just as Fang Yang was observing, a few more girls walked past, apparently the group was on their way. Fang Yang turned around and saw that it was Wang Jialiang and his group. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "Director Wang, I thought you had all left."
Wang Jialiang rushed over, "President Fang, you're still here? I only knew that Fu Ming and the others had already gone over. I was just knocking on your door, but I didn't expect you to be downstairs already."
Fang Yang waved his hand, "Time is tight, most people should have gone. I didn't see Zhu Laosan and the others either, so I guess they've gone too."
