"Warm Light in the Palm" - Who Will Redeem the Entertainment Godmother (Twenty...)
That's impossible, of course.
The main reason the Huo family pulled this stunt was a very insidious maneuver: to flatter someone to their detriment.
The purpose of praising someone to death is to kill them, not to praise them. How could you possibly give your opponent an award? That would be insane.
So although the four nominations plunged "Ouyang Tu and the Moon Shadow Girl" into an unprecedented crisis, none of them would actually be nominated.
As for learning from Huo's methods, that's a simple question of crossing a river by feeling for a horse: is the same water level the same for different people?
It doesn't matter if Huo's business flops for a few years. The newly released "6+6" series, if it flops a few dramas, will crush them. Haha.
So on the day of the banquet, everyone in the Huo family was in high spirits.
What goes around comes around. The Huo family was previously heavily criticized, but now public opinion has reversed.
The drama that Cheng Yanxi participated in before, although the broadcast effect was not ideal, unexpectedly maintained the quality of the drama.
That's not quite right either. The production team for that drama was very strong, and the production quality was indeed excellent. Cheng Yanxi took the role because of the production team, in order to change her image and win awards.
Unexpectedly, just as she was transitioning to a new career path, she encountered the unexpectedly popular "Ouyang Tu and the Moon Shadow Girl," which was even produced by a rival production company, making her the target of widespread criticism and ridicule.
He faced another contract termination incident, which led to questions about his character and, consequently, his acting skills.
Once the audience's biases were removed, they wanted to dig back into the past and find out what really happened in the drama he filmed with Sun Manli. They thought Sun Manli wasn't so bad after all, and that she acted very well.
An archaeological look reveals that the male lead has more problems than the female lead. Apart from the few widely circulated and memorable scenes, the male lead's acting is really wooden.
His understanding of emotions was so shallow that he would just look at the female lead with a melancholy expression, sometimes not even looking at her, his gaze wandering somewhere, lost in his own melancholy.
Netizens commented: "She's like a self-pitying, self-loving daffodil. No wonder the male lead's fans say their idol is uniquely beautiful. Indeed, he's always been uniquely beautiful."
Sometimes, the female lead's intense emotions, when portrayed by the character, seem almost like a lunatic. This was a common point of ridicule surrounding Sun Manli, who was accused of overacting in her performances.
Looking back now, it was terrible. Her co-stars wouldn't even take her roles, which made it seem like she overdid it with just a little effort.
She performed diligently according to the acting lessons taught at school, but then someone just randomly came along and kicked her aside, saying that such a spontaneous performance was more natural. It turns out that hard work can't compare to talent.
Sun Manli: ...
Public opinion shifts in waves; people always need someone to mock. Before, they mocked Sun Manli, and now they're mocking Cheng Yanxi.
Some of his confusing performance moments were dug up. Because the public had been praising his acting skills, after the mishap, he was ridiculed even more severely. Cheng's fans finally reached the painful moment of following their idol.
I initially got hooked because of his looks, but now, in pursuit of art, Cheng Yanxi has become unconventional, adopting a realistic approach to clothing and styling, to the point that you have to choose the right angle to make it look good.
With such a huge sacrifice, yet no results and no reputation, even a goddess would get tired of watching her for four or five years.
Many of them no longer appreciate Cheng Yanxi's current looks; they're only kept going by the brainwashing of the "brother only has me" sentiment. And then this is what they get for doing.
A little bit of torture is fine, but too much torture is harmful. The fans are really about to be driven crazy by the torture.
Fortunately, the Huo family was very helpful. They not only quickly reversed public opinion, but also secured a leading actor nomination for Cheng Yanxi. If he is lucky enough to be elected as the Best Actor, all the grievances he suffered in the past will not have been in vain!
While Cheng's fans were happy for their idol, they also didn't forget to kick him while he was down.
Comparison videos of the nominated dramas have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Of course, they want the best scenes of their own brother, and they just cut out any random scene of Sun Manli.
Of course, even if fans don't pull any tricks, it's hard for the audience not to be puzzled when someone suddenly appears with a toy gun "biubiubiu" amidst a bunch of performances filled with national hatred, personal vendettas, and heart-wrenching shouts.
For a time, "Ouyang Tu and the Moon Shadow Girl" saved everyone at the Golden Osmanthus Awards. With it, all the nominated dramas seemed so strong.
Everyone in the Huo family was happy, but some were not.
Huo Yueze certainly cannot miss this occasion, and if he does, the whole truth will be exposed.
Huo Yueze doesn't care about anyone else, but he does care about Qiu Tianyi.
He had been pretending to be "Fu Ze" to contact her, but now his true identity is about to be exposed.
The thought of facing the anger that was redeeming him from his childhood filled him with anguish.
"What are you thinking about? You seem so distracted," Huo Yu's cold voice came through.
The previous incident caused the Huo family immense trouble. When they had the enemy by the throat, Huo Yu naturally wanted to witness it personally.
Huo Yueze looked up at Huo Yu and immediately said, "It's nothing, Dad."
Huo Yu looked at him and gave a soft snort.
Although he never showed it, Huo Yueze's mother was probably the woman who left the deepest mark on his heart.
Over the years, Huo Yu has only had one son, Huo Yueze. Only those who don't understand the situation would think that he doesn't value this son.
However, the Huo family's love is always inexpressible. Huo Yu turned to Huo Yueze and said indifferently, "Let's go."
The already highly anticipated Golden Osmanthus Award has become even more popular due to the involvement of the Huo family.
Even when the public was criticizing the Huo family the most, they never criticized Huo Yu, who was a legendary movie star who led an era and was a childhood memory for countless people.
The news of his secret marriage and child broke the hearts of all his fans, but the fact that his son looks exactly like him when he was young brought them comfort. Such excellent genes should indeed be passed down!
Huo Yueze and everyone from the Huo family followed behind Huo Yu, with flashes of light coming from all directions. Huo Yueze appeared calm and composed, but inwardly he was starting to feel nervous.
Will Xiaoya come? Knowing this is a trap, can she not come?
How could Qiu Yi not come? It's an awards ceremony, how could she not come?
After the Huo family members were seated, Qiu Tianyi arrived with Liu Jia Liu and his entourage.
It's already autumn, and it's getting a bit chilly outside. None of the actresses from the "Six Plus Six" group are wearing revealing evening gowns. If they don't wear them, then Qiu Yi certainly can't wear one either.
He still had that signature silver-gray hair, a punk-style short jacket, wide-leg pants, and chunky shoes, looking like someone who was doing postmodern performance art.
The people behind her looked much more composed; Xu Jia was dressed in a casual suit and appeared very relaxed.
Saying she's not good-looking doesn't mean she's ugly; it just means her appearance doesn't conform to mainstream aesthetics. It doesn't mean she's strangely shaped.
With her modern makeup and styling that embraces a wide range of looks, her confident demeanor and tall figure make her very photogenic. Before she became famous, she even worked part-time as a print model for an online clothing store.
Liu Banqing is a typical performer in the entertainment industry. She is the shortest among the group, but her body proportions are so good that you can't tell at all. Her face is also exquisite at first glance.
At the same time, she has a natural sense of aesthetics and doesn't need a stylist to work hard on her look. She can pick and match clothes herself and make her personal style fashionable.
Her understated luxury attire, combined with her quiet demeanor, made her seem like a midnight epiphyllum blooming in a corner—not striking at first glance, but captivating at second.
Of all the people, the most eye-catching was undoubtedly Sun Manli.
She's the kind of person who's aggressively beautiful to the point that people question the technology behind her looks; otherwise, she couldn't have fought so hard in that environment to get close to the top tier.
But this time she didn't wear any of those glamorous gowns. Instead, she wore a simple white shirt and a wolf tail. Because she needed to lift weights for filming, she had a composed and imposing presence. When facing the camera, her pressure was almost palpable.
The viewers watching the live stream were too realistic; they were mocking everything before the person even arrived.
After the person arrived, they fell silent.
How can someone be so handsome! They haven't killed anyone with that face, so what's wrong with it!
Sun fans and newcomers to the fandom are also feeling quite sad lately, as they've just gotten into the hobby and are now being ridiculed by the public.
Now that the four members of 6+6 have made a strong appearance, their fans have instantly come back to life. As long as they have the face, they'll be in the game!
Online trolls tried to stir up trouble at every opportunity, but fans were already losing their minds over the sister's beauty. CP fans were shipping them like crazy, it was like a state banquet!
Those filming inside the studio, who knew the topic best, started frequently shooting in this direction.
Huo Yueze worried for a long time, but when he arrived at the scene, it was of no use at all.
Qiu Yi glanced at the Huo family as she entered, gave them a smile, turned around and sat down, as if she hadn't seen them at all.
Huo Yueze's mind was in turmoil. Had Qiu Tianyi not seen him, or was she pretending not to care but already getting angry inside?
Of course not. Qiu Yi was almost tired of playing the "I don't know you" game herself. Could Huo Yueze have been completely oblivious? No way.
After realizing she couldn't get anything out of Huo Yueze, Qiu Tianyi stopped contacting him much, feeling she might have been exposed.
What's more terrifying than the enemy being in the open while you are in the dark is thinking you're in the dark when you're actually in the open.
Huo Yueze's naive behavior had already frightened her, and she simply couldn't believe it.
If she couldn't gain any advantage secretly, she would fight openly. Qiu Tianyi no longer wanted to have any pretense with the Huo family.
The fierce competition in the entertainment industry is hidden beneath the clinking of glasses and the exchange of toasts. Who would have thought that an awards ceremony could become a battleground?
Although the Golden Osmanthus Award judging committee can be manipulated by certain organizations with immense financial resources, they may engage in questionable practices in pursuit of online traffic.
But it's impossible for them to have no stance at all, otherwise the authority of their award would be lost. If an award has no authority, who will care about it in the future? No one will play along with them, and the award will die.
So a lot of work was done in the early stages, but when it came to actually winning the award, everyone was still unsure.
The fans of Cheng Yanxi and Liu Jia Liu were the most interested in this award.
Cheng Yanxi's acting skills were previously ridiculed, and fans are eager for something to change the public's impression of him.
The drama that Cheng Yan reported to the West, despite its production quality, didn't become popular. Upon closer examination, there must have been some problems.
But because its appearance is so impressive, no one bothers to expose its flaws. You can just tell people that the lower-tier market doesn't appreciate it and still win the award.
Once I win the award, I'll have the confidence to fight with other fans. I can say whatever I want after that. With the award in hand, I can laugh at the crazy dogs.
The fans of the group "Six Plus Six" have a similar mentality. They get angry when others criticize them, but since they've already been criticized, they might as well just accept one.
A group of people were blindly following the trend and criticizing, but in their opinion, the entire staff of "Ouyang Tu and the Moon Shadow Girl" had much better acting skills than those outsiders.
Everyone acted very naturally, even the random behind-the-scenes actors had great acting skills. They managed to make such a cheesy storyline work without making the audience lose immersion. Isn't that a testament to their talent?
Do they think they can only showcase their acting skills by acting in serious dramas? What's wrong with young people liking to watch cheesy fantasy stories? Does only the art of old men count as art?
The audience attracted by "Ouyang Tu and the Moon Shadow Girl" is a group of people who are used to questioning authority. It is impossible to make them obey the old ways, so they also get angry.
Go win the prize! Go and bring it back! Let's teach those old fogies a lesson!
The fans are all more daring than the idol; they only care about venting their own anger and don't care whether the idol lives or dies.
Huo's public opinion department was not surprised by this.
But one should have self-awareness. Cheng Yanxi really deserves the award; no one else can do six plus six.
Full of confidence, they awaited the gala's proceedings, knowing that once the night ended, Huo's public opinion department would instantly launch the next phase of their attack.
All eyes are on the screen. The Golden Osmanthus Awards mainly rely on the acting awards for their viewership. The Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress awards will be announced last, and the director awards, which receive little attention, will be announced first.
No director has the same level of popularity as Qiu Tianyi. No one pays attention to the official director awards; everyone's attention is focused on the new director projects.
"The winner of this year's Best New Director award is—new director Qiu Tianyi!"
The entire room fell silent instantly.
Someone who isn't famous in the entertainment industry yet, but is destined to be, sat next to Qiu Tianyi and asked nervously, "Am I late?"
Qiu Tianyi turned to look at her and smiled, "No, Miss Pang, you've come at just the right time."
Pang Yuzhu happily sat down next to her and clapped enthusiastically to congratulate her on winning the award.
Speaking of Pang Yuzhu, few people may know about her acting career, but everyone knows who her older sister is.
The phone that Qiu Tianyi, the head of the national technology brand Xinyi New Technology, used when she filmed the story for Shouji was from their brand, and all kinds of shooting and editing equipment were also from their brand.
Qiu Yi once took on the promotion of their new phone. During the Shouji era, Xinyi Technology was a continuous sponsor of 6+6.
The Huo family is indeed all-powerful in the entertainment industry, but sometimes there is a strange phenomenon.
That is, when you are on high alert and competing with your peers, what often defeats you is not your peers, but those from other fields.
