Chapter 81

"I am honored to be the host of this year's Wanhua Awards. My name is Ji Xuewei." As soon as she finished introducing herself, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.

Ji Xuewei smiled warmly at the camera, and the barrage of comments kept flashing "Charming woman" and "This is what a mature woman looks like."

The actor Xiao Gang next to her also continued her words: "Hello everyone, I am Xiao Gang."

The two began to talk about the TV series that were recently aired, which one was very popular and which plots were most impressive.

The live broadcast room was full of fans spamming the artists’ names and slogans.

"Next, we announce the nominees for the Best Newcomer Award: Zhao Lu, Yu Chenchen, Zhang San, Ma Feng, and Gu Rong."

After Ji Xuewei finished speaking, the camera immediately cut to the faces of these five people. The barrage of comments stirred up a bloody storm. Everyone was protecting their idol and was more nervous than the real idol.

At this time, the directors and producers sitting in the audience are looking for suitable actors to star in their new films.

Next to Mo Keyu sat an old man with a head full of silver hair. He was closing his eyes and resting, as if there was nothing around him that was worthy of his satisfaction.

Mo Keyu got this seat through connections; she just wanted a good view and didn't care who sat next to her.

[Zhao Lu, I already know. He had a crush on Yu Chenchen but he turned out to be a straight man. From then on, all the people he dated looked like Yu Chenchen.]

[For example, Gu Rong who was nominated together with them...]

The white-haired old man next to him suddenly frowned, opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the big screen on the stage.

At this point, the camera has already switched to the five nominees for the Newcomer Award.

The lady who was sitting nearby and sending work messages also stopped what she was doing and looked at the big screen.

There were scattered conversations all around, and the last thing missing at this time was people gossiping behind others' backs.

Things in the industry are no longer surprising after being in the industry for a long time, but those big directors and producers have a lot to consider. Using problematic actors will damage their reputation. If the work is illegal or disorderly, it will be directly removed from the shelves, which will be an immeasurable loss for them.

[So it's really not awkward for these three people to be on the same stage?]

[Oh, by the way, Yu Chenchen may not know this, but he has worked with Gu Rong before, and the two of them officially look alike.]

[I understand. So the current situation is that Zhao Lu likes Yu Chenchen but Yu Chenchen is a straight man, so in order to relieve his restlessness, he looks for someone who is similar to Yu Chenchen to be his boyfriend or girlfriend. It just so happens that Gu Rong looks like him.]

[Gu Rong didn't know that Zhao Lu mistook her for Yu Chenchen, and thought that it was because of her that he lost interest in her. Yu Chenchen didn't even know that his best friend who had always been by his side actually had improper thoughts about him, and always used others to satisfy her fantasies about him!]

[And then, this guy slept with his fans? He even asked his fans to send him photos... Oh my god, if I were Yu Chenchen, my back would be numb at this moment.]

[Huh? If that’s the case, it would be disastrous if this award was given to Zhao Lu!]

[What, is there anything more unhygienic?]

The directors, producers, screenwriters and several investors around couldn't help but prick up their ears.

This Zhao Lu is a new traffic star, and his ability to monetize his fans is very good. Although his acting skills are a bit lacking, in this era where traffic is king, even garbage will have fans buying into it.

Mo Keyu sighed.

[Forget it, getting sick is his karma.]

Caught a disease?

[Ah? Is there anything more outrageous?]

Is there anything worse?

There are people in the circle who have been infected with the disease, but everyone will just laugh at them behind their backs. Some will laugh at this person for being dirty, some will laugh at this person for being indecent, and some will laugh at this person for not taking proper safety measures.

[He is sick but still infects others. The main point is that he wants to be romantic even before his death.]

[Is one of them a producer?]

[Oh~ This producer himself is also a person who likes unspoken rules, and now he has suffered retribution.]

[There are bad people in every industry. People who are bad in themselves cannot become good because of a job. People who can stick to their original intentions can always stick to their bottom line even in the face of many temptations.]

[Those people should get checked out, because people like this make the most money.]

The old man next to me is a director who came from the golden age of film and television. He also made movies in his early years. At that time, you couldn't make it without some real skills.

Not only that, but it must also live up to its name, otherwise even if it achieves some success it will only be short-lived.

Some people earned more back then, but it was not as extravagant as it is now. You had to act on your own, and if an actor did not perform well, he would be criticized in various ways. You had to fight hard for every acting opportunity.

He looked around and everyone seemed to be staring at the stage in front of him. No one seemed to be talking?

"So who will win the Wanhua Newcomer Award? Ahem, Xiao Gang, I've seen the name," Ji Xuewei kept the secret in front of the camera, and the netizens in front of the screen were almost dying of anxiety, but when it came to Ji Xuewei, the netizens were relatively tolerant, "It's Zhao Lu..."

[Aaaah, it's over. The reputation of the Mangekyou Awards is going to be ruined.]

[In the past, several prestigious awards have lost their credibility because they were given to artists with bad records.]

[I didn’t expect the Flower Award to be… No!!!]

"Is it Yu Chenchen? Let us wait and see." Xiao Gang continued with the next words, and the two hosts smiled at each other.

[Phew~ I was so scared, luckily it’s not confirmed yet, the host is so cruel.]

The white-haired director still couldn't find the person who was complaining non-stop, and some people around him seemed to be looking for the source of the sound.

But their movements were very small, and the sounds came in bursts, making it difficult to understand.

"Now we can stop keeping you in suspense. Xiaogang, you go ahead and announce it." Ji Xuewei handed the trophy to Xiaogang, who read out the name loudly:

"Yu Chenchen!"

There are the same five shots, and each person has a different expression. Yu Chenchen covered his face with his hands in shock, then jumped up happily and ran to the stage excitedly.

Logically speaking, the host's words would easily raise Zhao Lu's expectations. If he didn't win in the end, he would have felt like he was fooled. However, Zhao Lu in the lower left corner of the camera did not look frustrated. Instead, he smiled, a natural, doting smile.

This scene was captured by netizens. Who cares about the previous CP? It is obvious that this one is better.

Naive netizens thought their brother was abstinent and rushed to post clips and videos of him.

[Yeah, that's great, I almost collapsed, long live the Flower Awards! ]

Mo Keyu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this was the first award that his artist participated in. If he failed, then there would be no point in participating in this award ceremony.

The people around couldn't help but look for the noisy person, but they didn't notice who was talking.

The white-haired director finally turned his head and looked at the lady next to him who was watching the stage attentively.

This lady is not on the same level as the people around her. Compared with those beautiful artists, she looks more like a rich girl.

"Okay, Chenchen has finished sharing his feelings about winning the award. Next up is the Best Actor Award."

The pace of the following segments was a bit faster, with Mo Keyu sitting there guessing the winners of each award.

[Alas, this Best Actor Award is also in danger of being a failure! ]

Suddenly, that voice rang in everyone's ears again, and everyone around became nervous.

Many people are looking for suitable actors and actresses. A failure would cause great losses to their reputation and money. This is especially true for the older generation who want to produce high-quality works.

"That Xiao Hao is not bad." A producer suddenly said, "He is handsome and has no scandals."

Some people around the director are given a lot of favors. Some people are close to the director and have a say after spending a long time with him. Some directors are

If you say nice things to others too much, some directors will listen to you.

Many people want to obtain good resources, which requires huge investment in the early stages.

There are many such people around the white-haired director.

This time he did not rush to respond to the producer's words, but waited for a voice.

[Xiao Hao, the actor, has no scandals, but...]

but?

[But he evaded taxes!]

"Huh?" The director couldn't help but frowning. The person next to him seemed to have heard it as well and his expression changed.

[Isn't tax evasion the same as being an outlaw?]

[If the Best Actor Award is given to him, then the Blooms Awards will be doomed.]

[Today's young artists all have some problems to varying degrees, it's all just a habit.]

[I understand. They are not worried at all. They still have the PR team and sponsors to clean up their messes. The Kaleidoscope Awards should be the ones sweating!]

The director waved his hand at the person next to him to indicate that he would wait and see. The producer next to him had no choice but to give up and then turned his anger towards the person who was talking nonsense.

If this deal fails, his five million will be gone. He can get five million tax-free just by talking. There is no better business to do than this. Even if the other party loses the money, it is still his.

Soon, the host announced the winner of the Best Actor Award, who was another relatively honest actor. Mo Keyu breathed a sigh of relief again, at least the reputation of this award was temporarily preserved.

"Now let's take a look at the list of Best Actresses... So who will be the Best Actress tonight?"

This time it was Ji Xuewei who won the trophy.

Originally there was a person named Tang Kerong, but something happened to Tang Kerong and she was kicked out of the list of candidates, so a new person was added.

[Wait, there’s a pit here too, there’s an actress in here…]

[This girl called Xiao Ai...huh?]

There was also a very powerful investor sitting next to Mo Keyu, and most of the actresses who received awards had worked with her.

If someone gets into trouble, she will have to pay a lot of money. The voice sounded a bit weird, like someone was gossiping or hallucinating, but it was not necessarily true. The more business people do, the more they believe this.

There can be no ambiguity about making money.

[No way, she actually poisoned me?!]

The investor looked at the camera on the side of the stage. The actress was smiling at the camera. How could she, who looked so harmless, do such a thing?

So why did she poison?
