Chapter 509: Pit
The host's lines on the stage were humorous and witty, and he controlled the entire program very well, but Ye Qian still felt drowsy while listening to it.
Sitting in her seat, her head nodding, her eyes hazy and blurred, she was woken up several times by He Jun. He Jun couldn't help but pinch Ye Qian, which made her sober up a little.
"You should sit still and wake up. The climax is almost here. I wonder if we will be there." He Jun said in a low voice.
It was quiet, but the chairs around were so close, how could anyone not hear or see it?
Everyone felt that Ye Qian's mentality was pretty good. You said you came here just to see if you had a chance to win the prize. Now that you are sitting here, how could you have the mind to sleep? But Ye Qian did it, dozing off one after another.
Ye Qian explained, "I've been racking my brains for the new movie. I need a good rest."
Hearing what Ye Qian said, the people sitting around shuddered, sat up straight and leaned forward hoping to hear some useful information. What if, what if they could play a supporting role? The supporting roles in Ye Qian's films could also become popular.
"I've been thinking about it for so long and still can't come up with anything. I told you to have a good rest yesterday but you didn't listen. You look so tired today, what are you going to do if you get filmed later?"
"Ah, why are you filming me?"
"What if I took a picture of you while I was taking a picture of me? Wake up quickly." He Jun said.
Ye Qian looked helpless: "Okay, okay."
The two were chatting when the awards ceremony came to Best Actress and Best Actor. Ye Qian looked at the stage, waiting for the results to be announced. After a round of exciting music, the Best Actress was announced and Yan Ying won the award.
The company will be prepared in advance and have a lot of cheat sheets. You just need to memorize them in advance and speak out what you remember when you go on stage.
Yan Ying was obviously very excited. After all, she won this award only a few years after her debut. She was incoherent when she gave her speech. However, during the speech, she thanked Ye Qian for giving her the opportunity and so on. The camera really turned to Ye Qian. Fortunately, she woke up in advance, otherwise it would be hard to explain the blurred look in her eyes.
Ye Qian's big face was projected onto the big screen, so she could only nod and smile awkwardly, hoping to quickly turn the camera back.
After the Best Actress and Best Actor awards were presented, the next was Best Actor and Best Actress. Ye Qian thought that He Jun and Du Yongfei were not interested, but she was still very nervous because the results were not out.
He Jun sat next to her and held her hand until it turned white, which showed how tightly he was holding it.
Then there was another round of exciting music, and the first candidate for Best Actor was announced. It was undoubtedly Du Yongfei.
Du Yongfei is stable, and He Jun should be fine. Ye Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the result of Best Actress came out, He Jun.
The two walked onto the stage and almost cried.
But what no one expected was that there was actually another person who also won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards. The host was playing it by ear and didn't say it clearly, and everyone below was guessing who it was.
The first person in Ye Qian’s mind was Yan Ying. If she won two such big awards today, she wouldn’t have to worry about her future career at all.
The host finally let out the suspense and announced the result: Yan Ying.
The director caused a huge uproar. There had never been two Best Actresses before. They actually witnessed such an exciting moment with their own eyes, and Yan Ying won two awards at once. In an instant, everyone's attention was attracted by the three people on the stage.
Yan Ying had already burst into tears, and He Jun also had tears in her eyes. Du Yongfei was still able to keep his composure. Seeing the two of them in such a state of emotion, he thought he would calm down for a while, and he was the first to go on stage to give a thank you speech.
Next is He Jun, and finally Yan Ying.
These words of thanks are undoubtedly those, thank you to the organizers, thank you to the fans for their continued support, and most importantly, thank you to Director Ye for giving us this opportunity and so on.
It all came down to the same few sentences, and Ye Qian could recite them all.
The reason why all three of them won awards was undoubtedly because of the movie Going Home. In the end, Ye Qian won the Best Director Award and Best Screenplay Award for this movie.
These awards are undoubtedly another recognition of her. Not only He Jun, Yan Ying and Du Yongfei, but after today, the commercial value of the four of them including her will become completely different from before.
The award ceremony was finally over, and their company became the biggest winner. Naturally, they could not refuse the cocktail party hosted by the organizer in the evening. At this time, the agent and Wang Qiong would be together, so helping to persuade people to drink and find opportunities to slip away would be very helpful.
After a round of toasts, Ye Qian slipped away first. As a middle-aged and elderly person, she would not drink with these young people. What if she got drunk and got herself sick?
She didn't know what happened next, but when she returned to the company the next day, the door was almost broken open by people who were all looking for cooperation, not only the three of them, but also Ye Qian.
But she rejected them all. Fame is fleeting and will soon fade away without works to support it. Don't adjust your mentality at this time and don't get carried away, otherwise you will blame others when your popularity cools down.
After reminding herself and Ban Hei, she continued to do her work as before.
Huanxi's stock rebounded, and the previous impact seemed to have disappeared overnight. Business was as booming as before. Fortunately, a lot of people were hired, which stabilized the business.
Business was picking up, and Ye Qian unceremoniously doubled the year-end bonus for the old employees to thank them for their loyalty. Those who stayed were honest, hardworking and did a good job. Ye Qian was also generous in giving everyone promotions and salary increases, and they celebrated another New Year happily.
However, Ye Qian did not participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala. Firstly, she did not have time, and secondly, the director did not allow her to do it, so she was left alone.
The ratings of the Spring Festival Gala are still very high, but it is not like last year where every program makes people remember it for a long time. The director's idea is still the same, but the choice is not as good as Ye Qian. The ratings are maintained, but the reputation is really not that good.
Ye Qian is not bragging. She has been baptized by the Spring Festival Gala for decades and naturally knows the audience's taste. If the show has been held for a few more sessions, it would be fine for the director to imitate it, but if you want to imitate it yourself after only holding one session, the essence of it is really not something that everyone can imitate.
After all, these are the results of decades of hard work by later generations, so how can they be imitated by people overnight?
Ye Qian doesn't mind being a director or not. She is happy with the quietness. To be honest, she has been lazy lately and she may not be able to adapt to being busy all of a sudden.
Except for Ye Qian who was lazy, Wang Qiong and Li Manyu were never idle for a single day. At the beginning, Wang Qiong told her that Ye Qian was a trap, but she didn't believe it. After working for so long, she finally realized that Ye Qian was indeed a trap.
Is it too late for her to resign now?
