The party wasn't very fun; a group of celebrities sat together with tough steaks and greasy foie gras in front of them.
Female celebrities only dare to drink water, afraid that their eating movements will be too exaggerated and make a big fuss in the media.
The annual gala is also an awards ceremony, where fans vote for the most popular actor of the year, but the awards don't really have any real value.
Since his debut, Yi Mu has acted in only two TV series, both of which were low-budget idol dramas with little to offer, and both were a year ago.
So he didn't have any works broadcast this year. Inviting him here today is just to use his popularity to gain some clicks.
He disliked these kinds of occasions the most, where he had to smile at everyone he met, and everyone was being insincere, making his face almost stiff from smiling.
Leng Jia won the Most Popular Actress Award this year for her role in a historical drama with a strong female lead.
After she finished her acceptance speech, the host, as if he had been hit on the head by a donkey hoof, suddenly called on Yimu.
"Leng Jia's new drama seems to be co-starring with Yi Mu, right? Do you two have any scenes together?"
Most people present knew that Yi Mu and Leng Jia had recently had a falling out over a talent show.
In an effort to generate buzz, the organizers deliberately placed the two of them next to each other.
Fortunately, Bei Zhu and her assistant arrived early and negotiated with others to change their seats.
The host's question clearly indicated an intention to capitalize on the hype.
Yi Mu sat below, a perfectly timed smile on his face, impeccable.
Leng Jia originally didn't want to come to accept this award today, as she had to rush back to the film set to shoot. However, her agent felt that it would be beneficial for her to be more exposed in public, so she negotiated with Lao Liu and managed to get half a day off.
The host's question was rather boring, and Leng Jia answered indifferently, "We don't have many scenes together."
Her answer left everyone speechless, but the host, eager to make a splash, kept trying to steer the conversation, his eyes fixed on Yi Mu below.
"Did the two of you have any interesting interactions on set? Fans are very curious. Since the two of you are here together today, Yi Mu, if it's convenient for you, why don't you come up on stage together?"
Normally, when receiving this award, all the attention should have been on Leng Jia.
But this dim-witted host kept steering the conversation toward other people, which made Leng Jia very unhappy.
She turned cold and watched as Yi Mu came up on stage.
As soon as Yi Mu picked up the microphone, he smiled at the host.
"If Director Liu had watched tonight's gala, he would have been very grateful to you for giving the film so much free publicity. Leng Ji, don't you think so?"
Leng Jia knew he was implying that the host lacked professionalism. She twitched the corners of her mouth and echoed, "Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen such an enthusiastic host."
The host's expression froze instantly. She had originally intended to help the website drive traffic, but she had unexpectedly shot herself in the foot.
The producer on set looked even uglier.
We finally managed to invite two of the most popular people in the industry right now, hoping to gain some attention for the website, but now this brainless host has ruined it all.
The website may receive a lot of attention in the short term, but its reputation will definitely decline because it is too unprofessional.
With a single, effortless remark, Yi Mu put the host in an awkward position, forcing them to awkwardly ask two more trivial questions before finally asking them to leave the stage.
After that night, Leng Jia's attitude towards Yi Mu changed a bit. She originally thought Yi Mu was a good-for-nothing, but she didn't expect him to be so quick-witted.
Yi Mu didn't take it to heart at all; he had to go audition for Director Liu's film.
