"What happened to your hand?" Shi Xi asked, noticing the faint bandage marks on Chu Yuan's wrist. "Are you injured?"
"I got a minor scratch from the explosions the crew used on set," Chu Yuan said casually, pulling his sleeve down a little.
Shi Xi admired him, saying, "Be careful when filming. Explosions and such can be done with special effects in post-production."
Chu Yuan: "It's nothing, just a minor injury."
Shi Xi's appreciation deepened.
When faced with dangerous scenes, many actors request post-production special effects or use stunt doubles.
Chu Yuan, with such a high level of fame, actually went on to act in an explosion scene himself.
He deserves to be famous!
Amidst the casual conversation, the XunTeng Time Awards ceremony officially began.
The gala invited many well-known artists from the entertainment industry. It wasn't until the awards ceremony that Shi Xi realized that so many stars had actually starred in web dramas.
Fans watching the live stream were frantically spamming the chat with comments, hoping to make their idols known to more people.
The host went on stage and announced the award-winning celebrities one by one.
The awards are numerous, including Best New Artist, Best New Singer, Best Supporting Actor of the Year, Best Web Series of the Year, etc.
Each winner achieved some small success in the online drama industry that year.
As the applause continued, the host began announcing the winner of the Annual Web Series Newcomer Award.
"The nominated new actors are: Shi Xi, Yan Xueluo, Mu Zhaozhao, and Yue Xinyi."
The camera focused on the four people, projecting their reactions onto a large screen.
Shi Xi was surprised to receive a nomination.
Even though it's just the Best Newcomer Award for a web series, it's still pretty impressive!
With so many actors filming web dramas every year, and newcomers being as numerous as stars, how could she possibly be nominated?
Not bad, not bad.
The host continued, "Please welcome our special guest, Best Actor Chu Yuan, to announce the Best Newcomer of the Year and present the award!"
Chu Yuan was a special guest invited by the organizers. He hasn't filmed web series for a long time, only taking on movies and TV dramas broadcast on satellite channels.
Even if you come to participate in the Time Awards, you won't win an award.
He's here to present an award.
Fans watching the live stream were screaming, "My husband is so handsome!"
"Is my brother Chu just here to present an award? Hahaha, he's like a god descending to earth."
"I saw the bandage on your wrist. Brother Chu, please take good care of yourself on set and don't get hurt!"
"If you're injured, don't come to announcements. Is the studio dead? Instead of letting Chu Yuan recover properly, they're making him come out to earn money?"
[Hilarious! Such a minor injury and the fans are so worried. Anyone who didn't know better would think his arm was broken.]
[This is some serious fan-torture! Chu Yuan, as expected of a former top-tier celebrity, knows exactly how to manipulate fans.]
Chu Yuan's high popularity and large number of fans also mean that he has a lot of haters.
The live stream chat erupted into another argument.
Chu Yuan stood up, straightened his back, and strode onto the stage to accept the envelope.
The camera focused on Chu Yuan's hand.
The man's slender, fair hands, with clearly defined knuckles, slowly opened the envelope.
Upon seeing the name in the letter, Chu Yuanqing's handsome face lit up with a smile, and he announced:
The winner of the Best Newcomer Award for Web Series of the Year is—
Shi Xi.
The stage was brightly lit, and the camera was focused on Shi Xi.
The girl's pretty face was filled with surprise, like a fawn that had suddenly found water, joyful, lively, and adorable.
Shi Xi stood up and winked at the camera.
The Shi Xi fans in the live chat didn't care about the battle between Chu Yuan's fans and haters; they all showered him with congratulations.
"Wow, my daughter has really made something of herself! My beautiful daughter has finally become a dazzling superstar under the spotlight!"
