Chapter 46
The Golden Carp Awards are held annually, with prizes announced on December 20th of each year. It is considered the most important and influential film award in China.
This time, "The Painter" received a total of seven nominations, including the Best Actor nomination for Ye Yuze, the Best Supporting Actor nomination for He Tong, and the Best Newcomer nomination for He Tong.
The fans cheered again.
[Just asking, what's the probability of Master Ze winning Best Actor?]
Raise your hands if you've seen all five Best Actor nominees. I think that's a big deal. I don't know if it's just because I'm a fanboy. [+1 above. It's not that the acting of the others was bad, I just felt it wasn't as impactful. It could also be that the plot distracted me while watching. Anyway, I cried the most during "The Painter." [Art films like "The Painter" are incredibly award-winning.]
So, what about Tongtong? He doesn't have any awards yet. He was ridiculed when the public welfare TV series was officially announced. Honestly, I think Tongtong deserves Best Supporting Actor. But I don't think he'll win. If Zezi wins Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor definitely won't go to Tongzi. We have to even things out. Well, unless Best Actor goes to someone else.
[My palms and backs are both fleshy, I feel so caught up in the dilemma qaq.]
[Think positively, two awards are better than one. Tongtong should at least get Best Newcomer.] [The competition for newcomers this year is also very fierce, and there are two other nominees who are also very talented.] [But I feel like there's still a gap between them and Tongzai. Tongzai's character is a bit disadvantaged... Let's see what the judges think.] Just as everyone was discussing this heatedly, someone suddenly came back with a Weibo post.
[Girls, go check out the official Sidi Sai Weibo! Oh my god, December must be our lucky month!] [Sidi Sai? What is that?]
[Back to the above thread, an internationally renowned, established jewelry company… OK, I saw it, I'm stunned.] Fans in the group quickly rushed to Weibo and searched for the homepage of Xidesi Jewelry.
I saw a new blog post pinned to the top of the homepage.
@西德塞器材V: #西德塞器材120th Anniversary of the Establishment of Xide Jewelry Company# One hundred and twenty years, the original intention remains unchanged and remains consistent.
Below is a 120th anniversary poster.
The poster features a grassland against a blue sky, with vibrantly colored buildings visible in the distance. In the lower half of the image, two men, presumably dressed in local attire, ride horses, holding hands. The upper half features a close-up of faces superimposed against the sky, revealing both men in modern clothing. Their foreheads rest against each other, one holding the other's face with their hand, while the other's hand rests on the back of the other's. On the ring fingers of each hand, they wear a pair of rings, clearly a pair of wedding rings.
Of course, these two men were He Tong and Ye Yuze, who had recently swept up a large wave of traffic.
The first hot comment below is the blogger's explanation
@西德塞器材V: This is a commemorative wedding ring for our 120th anniversary. Designed by world-renowned jewelry designer Reese Lauer, the design was inspired by the two Chinese people in the poster, so we specially invited them to showcase this pair of rings. P.S. This is not an endorsement. The entire floor was filled with well-intentioned "hahahahaha" comments from netizens.
When the fans of Tongze saw this poster, their blood tanks were instantly empty. They paused for a long time, saved the picture and continued to scroll down, but unexpectedly, they were hit by another critical hit.
@西德塞器材V: #西德塞器材120th Anniversary of the Establishment of Xide Jewelry Company# One hundred and twenty years later, we meet again, know each other, fall in love with each other, and stay together.
The second Weibo post is an eight-minute video that tells the complete story of a fairy-tale love story of reincarnation.
Tongze fans used up their last bit of restraint and posted a lot of "Thanks to Xidesai Jewelry" under this Weibo post, then turned around and rushed back to the group to scream.
【I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m dead, I’m dead! 】
I actually saw them wearing wedding rings in my lifetime. I'm so happy. This person is dead, so I need to burn paper.jpg] [They've been in love for two lifetimes, so they'll definitely be happy in this life too! Let me dream, don't wake me up.jpg] [Sure enough, the official website is the biggest producer. Fans can't even come up with an MV like this.] [What kind of amazing brand is Sidse! If I weren't broke, I'd definitely order one to support them!] [Forget it. I checked the official website, and those wedding rings are a special commemorative edition. They don't even put a price on them, so they must be custom-made. [laughing and crying]] [My heart is still pounding! Did you see that kiss in the video?] [I saw it! I wanted to shake the director and yell, "Why don't you shoot a close-up!"] [I shouted, "I hope to see them star in a happy ending romance!" [They've even starred in an MV like this. If there's a good script, maybe they'll actually take it.] [Pray! I'll go to the Yue Lao Temple and burn some incense tomorrow!] Our matchmaker here is very powerful! 】【Really? Then add me a pillar and I'll transfer the money to you. 】
Me too!
[Raise your hand!]
He Tong, who was secretly peeking at the screen, laughed and took a screenshot, then showed it to Ye Yuze.
"The fans really care about us. How about we actually take on a romantic film to give back?"
"That also requires a good book."
Ye Yuze didn't object, but good romance scripts, especially those about same-sex relationships, were not easy to find.
He Tong put the matter aside.
However, I didn't expect that this idea would soon come to fruition. I don't know if it was the result of the fans praying to Yue Lao.
On December 20, He Tong and Ye Yuze met up with Yu Zheng, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, and attended the Golden Carp Awards ceremony together.
After walking down the red carpet and entering the venue, Yu Zheng gave them something while waiting for the show to begin.
"A friend of mine wants to make a gay-themed film and asked me to get your opinion on whether you'd be willing to take on such a film."
"Oh?" He Tong immediately perked up. "What exactly is the content? It's not going to be another tragedy, is it?"
Yu Zheng shook his head, indicating he wasn't sure. "The script is still being polished, but from what he said, the tone should be quite positive."
He Tong looked at him distrustfully: "Director Yu, the tone of your 'Painter' is quite positive. How many tons of razor blades did you collect in the end?"
Yu Zheng laughed heartily. "I'm not kidding. It's only two years until the tenth anniversary of the passage of the same-sex marriage law, so he wants to make a film to win awards. He's won Best Picture several times, but he's never won Best Director. He's holding back this time."
Ye Yuze also became interested: "Who is it?"
"You must know, Ou Jing."
He Tong touched his chin and said, "Most of Director Ou's famous films are comedies, so it's really not easy for him to compete for the Best Director award with the judges."
Yu Zheng nodded. "So he wanted to find actors he had never worked with before, because he didn't want them to be influenced by his previous style."
"Okay." He Tong agreed straightforwardly, "As long as the script is suitable, we'll take it."
The three of them had just finished their conversation when the award ceremony began.
The result was no surprise, just as previously speculated.
In the end, "The Painter" won four awards: the Best Actor Award for Ye Yuze, the Newcomer Award for He Tong, the Directorial Debut Award for Yu Zheng, and the Best Picture Award, which was a great success.
He Tong posted a photo on Weibo of the two of them hugging their respective Golden Carp trophies head to head.
@贺同V: Bringing home two little golden carps will definitely bring you good luck in the coming year.
Fans immediately rushed to the rescue – forward these two little golden carps and you will surely have good luck in the coming year!
Ye Yuze watched He Tong place the two golden carp statues neatly on the table and laughed at him, "You're not going to hold them while sleeping this time?"
He Tong touched his nose, pretending that he didn't remember anything, and went over to hug his brother Ye: "I'll hug a big one, it's warm, soft and fragrant~"
Ye Yuze bent his index finger and tapped He Tong's forehead lightly: "Slippery tongue."
"That's right, not only is it slick, it's also very agile. Let me show you~"
He Tong lowered his head and kissed her without saying anything.
After clinging to him for quite a while, He Tong was finally ushered into the bathroom to take a shower. After all, he had to catch a flight back to the set early tomorrow morning, so he couldn't stay up too late today.
After He Tong came out, Ye Yuze came in. He leaned against the head of the bed, browsing his phone while waiting for someone.
There are already some golden carp jokes and fan art in the Yu Zi Tong Ze super topic, but the most popular one at the moment is the mysterious rich fan "Today is Tuesday" who posted another blog about giving away money after nearly a year.
Driven by this lucky draw, other fans also posted lucky draw blogs to celebrate. The richer ones won some light luxury goods, and the hands-on ones won homemade peripherals. This super topic quickly gained popularity.
He Tong flipped through it and saw that the fans' raffle prizes didn't have any special prizes, so he just let them have fun. He then exited Weibo and opened his work WeChat, replying to everyone who had sent him congratulations.
At this time, Feng Yingjun, who had previously added each other politely in the "Tian Yao" crew, suddenly sent several messages.
He Tong looked at the continuously increasing red numbers and clicked on them curiously.
Feng Yingjun: Hello, Teacher He. I'm Yingjun's boyfriend. Congratulations to you and Teacher Ye on winning the award.
Feng Yingjun: A few days ago, I attended a gathering in the circle and vaguely heard something. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but now I think about it, it seems to have something to do with you.
Feng Yingjun: Someone said that they received an inquiry asking how to report a popular star in the entertainment industry who had committed a crime many years ago in order to ruin his reputation.
Feng Yingjun: That person was vague in his words, only saying that the celebrity mentioned had a powerful background and was related to the chairman of a large group company.
Feng Yingjun: But that person also said that the consultation there was something that basically could not be verified, so we didn’t contact each other again afterwards.
Feng Yingjun: This is just speculation, and I'm not sure if it's related to you, but I just wanted to give you a heads-up. I hope I haven't ruined your good mood for receiving the award.
He Tong frowned as he read it and typed a reply.
He Tong: Thank you for your reminder. Best wishes.
Ye Yuze came out of the shower and saw He Tong frowning slightly, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
He Tong briefly recounted the situation, then added, "Fame brings gossip. I guess it's someone who feels their role has been snatched away and wants to stir up trouble to discredit us. Anyway, we're not afraid of evil if we don't do anything wrong. We'll just fight back. Come here, I'll blow dry your hair."
Ye Yuze didn't care and sat down on the edge of the bed to enjoy He Tong's hair-drying service.
However, no one expected that this accusation would be so sinister.
A few days later, a newly registered account posted a Weibo
@Give My Sister Justice: As shown in the video, I am reporting Star artist @贺同V for raping my sister four years ago. This kind of criminal artist shouldn't be seen in public; he should be in jail!
The accompanying video shows a young man accusing He Tong of crimes in a harsh voice. Viewers who click on the video can feel his raging anger through the screen.
The author has something to say: Thank you to the little angel "Fanhualuojin" for the nutrient solution~~
