Chapter 212 Cultivation?
On the red carpet, facing the camera, I, Shao Yuan, once again confirmed Si Yi's position.
It was obvious that the light in Si Yi's eyes suddenly bloomed.
So, Si Yi held Shao Yuan's hand tightly.
The main reason is that when a fan said that they wanted to give birth to a baby for him, I, Shao Yuan, noticed that Si Yi seemed a little unhappy.
If you like someone, you will care about his feelings.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Si Yi is always elegant and confident.
But I, Shao Yuan, can feel that he seems to lack a sense of security.
The main thing is that Si Yi seems to have always wanted his approval.
Because, whenever we are in public, I, Shao Yuan, will explain Si Yi's identity to everyone.
Not a boyfriend, but a fiancé.
The kind that's getting married.
The female host didn't seem to expect that Shao Yuan would be so direct and announce his coming out in front of the camera.
Although the social atmosphere is open now.
Same-sex marriage is legal both abroad and in China.
However, in some big families.
In fact, people are very resistant to same-sex marriage, both in China and abroad.
The main thing is that same-sex couples definitely cannot reproduce offspring.
If there are no descendants, who will inherit the family property?
Who will continue the family's glory?
What?
You mean surrogacy?
In the past, surrogacy abroad was legal.
But now, the international community is cracking down on surrogacy.
In other words, surrogacy is illegal both abroad and at home.
Therefore, even now, in foreign countries, large families with property to inherit are opposed to same-sex marriage.
Especially those who are openly gay, they basically have no chance of becoming heirs.
Suddenly, the female host lost interest in interviewing Zhen Shao Yuan.
"I see. I wish you both happiness. Please go to the right."
The female host directly sent Zhen Shao Yuan and Si Yi away.
As for Wu Wei and others in the back, he didn't even look at them.
The contrast in attitude is really obvious.
However, this was something Wu Wei and the others had anticipated long ago.
So I don't care at all.
I just want to take a few more photos on the red carpet.
Before Shao Yuan and Si Yi even reached the backstage, Kenna couldn't wait to come up to them.
"Your Majesty, what a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here."
I, Shao Yuan, have a very good impression of Kenna, a fan of the big star.
I had a pleasant chat with Kenna at Naku Castle.
"What a coincidence." Zhen Shao Yuan nodded with a smile. "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to become the global spokesperson for CV? Did you get it?"
Kenna said with a frustrated look on her face, "No, they're still considering it."
"Can't even take you down?" This was somewhat beyond Shao Yuan's expectations.
After all, Kenna is not just a big star, she is also a super rich second-generation.
Most importantly, Kenna's mother is a shareholder of CV. Although she is only a small shareholder, she is still a shareholder.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been invited by Mrs. Jenny to attend the flower viewing party.
"They don't know that I'm Jessica's daughter. Besides, I have to rely on myself to get what I want."
Jessica is Kenna's mother and the third largest shareholder of CV.
Although the shares held are not that large.
But they also have a say.
I, Shao Yuan, admire Kenna's ambition very much.
But I'm also very curious.
Question: "Why didn't you get the endorsement? Did something go wrong?"
I, Shao Yuan, was surprised, even if I didn't reveal my identity as a shareholder's daughter.
With Kenna's current status, it shouldn't be difficult for her to become CV's global spokesperson.
Kenna sighed, "It seems CV is negotiating with Monica about endorsements."
"Monica? Is that the romantic American actress who was nominated for Best Actress tonight, Monica?"
Before I, Shao Yuan, came here, I saw the romantic American film queen, Monica, who was at the top of the international hot search list.
If Kenna is the international singing queen, then Monica is the international film queen.
The two are about the same age, but both have achieved results at a young age that others cannot achieve in their entire lives.
The most noteworthy person in this Superstar Award is Monica, who was nominated for Best Actress.
Because Monica has won the Best Actress awards at both the Starlight Awards and the Bhanu Awards.
The youngest of the former three-time Best Actress winners was 39 years old.
And Monica is only 30 years old this year.
Once she won the Best Actress Award at the tonight Superstar Awards.
Then she will become the youngest actress in history to win three Best Actress awards.
This is a real bomb.
If Monica really wins three Best Actress awards, her status will definitely be higher than Kenna's.
It seems reasonable that CV would choose Monica.
However, I, Shao Yuan, suddenly remembered that when I went to CV to buy a dress tonight, I seemed to have added the CV manager as a friend.
Previously, Monica helped Shao Yuan promote himself on social media.
This is why I, Shao Yuan, have been able to sell so many new energy electric vehicles abroad.
This made Shao Yuan, who had spent a lot of money abroad, gain a lot of foreign fans.
This favor is quite significant.
I, Shao Yuanzheng, want to see if there is a chance to repay her favor.
Alright, now's the chance.
The two of them didn't talk for a few words before Kenna's agent came and took Kenna away.
When leaving, Kenna was reluctant to leave.
The way he looks at me, Shao Yuan, is enough to make me tear.
Unexpectedly, Si Yi suddenly stood in front of me, Shao Yuan.
It completely blocked Kenna's view.
Although Si Yi had a blank expression on his face, I, Shao Yuan, could still see the grievance in his eyes.
"Alright." Zhen Shao Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled Si Yi's cheek with amusement, "You jealous bastard, she's just a fan. Don't worry, I only like you. So, there's no need to care about an outsider."
"outsider?"
If Kenna is an outsider, then he must be an insider.
When Si Yi heard this name, he felt comfortable instantly.
However, he suddenly thought of something.
Said to Shao Yuan: "Young Master, are you planning to help Miss Kenna get a global endorsement?"
"As expected, Siyi, you understand me best." Zhen Shao Yuan said, "Our sweet journey will be recorded and broadcasted in a few days. Since we are already abroad, we need a famous guest abroad to liven up the event. What do you think of Kenna?"
What I, Shao Yuan, said really exceeded Si Yi's expectations.
"Master, are you trying to kill two birds with one stone?"
I, Shao Yuan, smiled and said, "Of course."
In the past, Si Yi always felt that I, Shao Yuan, was still very simple.
Need to grow.
But now he realized that he was completely overthinking it.
This is not a little sheep at all, it's a little fox.
If I, Shao Yuan, can really help Kenna get the CV endorsement, it will not only repay Kenna's favor.
You can also add some traffic passwords to your sweet journey.
This is a win-win situation.
Si Yi asked, "How can the young master help Miss Kenna win the global endorsement? Miss Monica has a much greater advantage than Miss Kenna."
Zhen Shao Yuan blinked, "What's so difficult about this? You and I have no fate, it's all thanks to my money. Now, for me, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it's not a problem."
Not long ago, I, Shao Yuan, received shares of Carona Company worth 30 billion from Mrs. Jenny.
In addition to shares in Carona Company, he also owns shares in Shadow Chip Company and Zhao Pictures.
The shares of these companies alone are enough for him to squander for several lifetimes.
Not to mention, he has the Betachianta family, a wealthy family to inherit.
Money has really become just a number to me, Shao Yuan, now.
So, now that I, Shao Yuan, don’t have to worry about money anymore, I can do whatever makes me happy.
My seat, Shao Yuan, is next to Wu Wei and others.
However, it took less than three seconds for me, Shao Yuangang, and Si Yi to sit down.
The staff of the organizer came directly to him.
I respectfully invited Shao Yuan and Si Yi to sit in the first row, in the middle, at the C position.
Just when I, Shao Yuan, was confused, Si Yi leaned close to my ear.
He whispered to him, "The sponsors of this event are all from Betachianta."
I, Shao Yuan, suddenly understood.
It turned out to be sponsored by my own family.
Then it's okay.
I, Shao Yuan, was already eye-catching enough when I walked on the red carpet.
Now, my seat, Shao Yuan, was originally in the middle back position.
However, the staff invited him to sit in the first row, in the center position.
This made many people drop their jaws.
"What's going on? Why are those two Han people sitting in the first row?"
"Even Monica and Kenna can only sit in the second row, why should they sit in the first row?"
"Exactly. Why do they have the right? They are just two anchors from the Han Kingdom."
"But they seem to have come here by Hertz. They must be wealthy people."
"What's wrong with being rich? Everyone here is rich. Why are the organizers so partial to them?"
"People from our Romantic Country can't even sit in the first row, so how can Han people sit in the first row?"
…
In addition to some people who were invited by the organizers, there were also some who bought tickets directly.
Therefore, they didn't know and only saw that the two Han people, Shao Yuan and Si Yi, were sitting in the first row.
But I don’t understand what being able to sit in the first row means.
Instead, only those celebrities and actors who truly understand the three major awards, or who often attend the award red carpet, understand the meaning of the first row.
So, when they saw Zhen Shaoyuan and Si Yi being invited to the first row, they were also surprised.
However, when I thought about how I, Shao Yuan, came here on Hertz, I understood it instantly.
When they heard the voices of those people talking behind them, they couldn't help but laugh at their ignorance in their hearts.
You know, those who can sit in the first row are all sponsors of the Superstar Award.
Moreover, the sponsorship price is no less than eight figures.
No one except sponsors is allowed to sit in the first row.
Even a nominated actress like Monica could only sit in the second row.
Now, Zhen and Shao Yuan were directly arranged in the C position in the first row.
The meaning of that is self-evident.
Coincidentally, Kenna's position is right behind me, Shao Yuanhe.
Kenna was very happy to see Shao Yuan sitting in front of her.
Of course, I, Shao Yuan, also saw her and nodded slightly at her.
Monica, who was sitting next to Kenna and dressed in a cool and charming manner, saw their interaction. Seeing Kenna staring at Zhen Shao Yuan with a crazy look on her face, Monica frowned.
The reason why the Superstar Award invited singer Kenna was just to invite her to attend the awards ceremony as a guest singer.
There were rumors that Kenna had a financial sponsor behind her, which was why she was able to obtain so many resources and reach her current position.
Kenna is talented though.
However, she is not the only talented person. Why did she become famous in her teens and reach the peak in her twenties?
If you say that there is no capital manipulation and support behind this, many people will not believe it.
Monica had only suspected it before.
But now seeing Kenna looking at Shao Yuan with an infatuated look, she seemed to have a definite answer in her mind.
In Monica's opinion, the person behind Kenna must be this Han Chinese.
This Han Chinese man already has a fiancé, yet Kenna is still so crazy about him.
In her opinion, it must be the Han man who abandoned Kenna, but Kenna herself was unwilling to give up.
As soon as this Han man appeared, he started to harass him in various ways.
Monica felt extremely contemptuous about this.
Most of the people sitting in the first row are elderly and have big bellies.
Shao Yuan and Si Yi, two young men with extraordinary looks, sat among a group of middle-aged and elderly people. No matter how you looked at them, they stood out.
Nature has also become the most dazzling existence.
They saw two young men suddenly appear among the group of people.
The people sitting around Zhen Shao Yuan and Si Yi couldn't help it.
The first person to speak was a middle-aged foreign man with half-white hair sitting next to Zhen Shao Yuan.
He said to Shao Yuan in Chinese: "Hello, I'm Mike. Which family are you from in the Han Kingdom?"
I, Shao Yuan, was stunned and looked at him briefly.
The Chinese spoken by this foreigner is quite authentic.
Moreover, it seemed to have a bit of a northern Han accent.
"My name is Zhen Shao Yuan. Have you ever lived in our Han country?" Zhen Shao Yuan asked instead of answering.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Yes, I lived in Han Country for a while. I like Han Country's culture, so after returning to Romantic Country, I often travel to Han Country with my wife and children."
I, Shao Yuan, nodded and said, "Many places in our Han Kingdom are quite interesting."
"Mr. Zhen is young and promising. Which family in the Han Kingdom is he from?" The middle-aged man looked at Zhen Shao Yuan carefully.
Anyone who can ride on Hertz and be invited by the organizer to sit in the center of the first row must be from the top family in the Han Kingdom.
However, there are only a few top families in the Han Kingdom.
He's seen almost all of them.
It seemed as if he had never seen the young man in front of him before.
I, Shao Yuan, replied, "I'm not from any family. I'm just an ordinary broadcaster in the Han Kingdom."
"Ordinary anchor?"
Of course the middle-aged man couldn't believe it.
However, since the Han man in front of him didn't want to say anything, he didn't ask any further questions.
I just chatted with Shao Yuan for a few minutes and then stopped.
Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of Shao Yuan, the others wanted to get some information about Shao Yuan from Si Yi.
As a result, Si Yi's mouth is more important than mine, Shao Yuan's.
No matter what was asked, Si Yi would not give a direct answer, but would cleverly pass on the question.
Several people were unable to get any useful information from the two people, and finally had no choice but to give up.
They didn't expect that although Shao Yuan and Si Yi looked young, they spoke so maturely.
Not long after, the staff from the organizer came again.
This time, I, Shao Yuan, and Si Yi will not change seats again.
Instead, he wanted Zhen Shao Yuan to be the award presenter for Best Supporting Actor.
After hearing this request, I, Shao Yuan, immediately turned around and looked at Wu Wei who was sitting next to me.
Among a group of foreign faces, Wu Wei and others were very conspicuous even though they were sitting far away.
The award presenters were all decided in advance.
Unless there is a problem with the award presenter, there will be no temporary changes.
Now the organizer actually asked him to be the award presenter. Besides being meant to please him, this also gave him an answer to his recent supporting role.
"Okay." I, Shao Yuan, agreed readily.
"Okay, thank you very much for your support, Mr. Zhen." The staff member thanked him and left.
Shao Yuan, Si Yi and the others actually arrived quite late. Not long after they sat down, the award ceremony began.
Kenna was invited to be the guest singer at the opening and closing of the awards ceremony.
The opening song is a powerful one.
It instantly ignited the enthusiasm of everyone present.
Therefore, there were a total of four people nominated from the Han State.
Among them, the one that attracted the most attention was of course Wu Wei, the best supporting actor.
The first three awards did not fall into the hands of Han people.
Naturally, all the enthusiasm and expectations faded.
The Han people who were watching the award ceremony were indignant when they saw that all three awards passed by the Han side.
"Although, that Best Prop Award is a small award. It doesn't really matter whether I win it or not. But the props in our Han country's movie are clearly better, so why did this award go to India?"
"Exactly. The props in that Indian movie are no match for the props in our Han movies. Could it be that the Superstar Award has also begun to decline, and the judges have been bribed?"
"Come on, stop bragging. Although the props in our Han films are indeed more exquisite, the awards aren't based on the appearance of the props. What matters most is whether the props function effectively. Besides, if they're cheating for such a small award, then the organizers of the Superstar Award must have been kicked in the head by a donkey."
"What the above person said makes a lot of sense. There's not much difference between having or not having awards like costumes and props. The most important thing is Wu Wei's Best Supporting Actor award at the end."
"Come on, if you can't even win three small awards, how can you expect a bigger supporting actor award?"
"Although Wu Wei's acting is indeed good, his competitors are also very strong. One of them is a Best Actor. Wu Wei has only won the Best Actor award in China at most. This guy has won an international award. How can we compete with him?"
"I say, you're really just trying to boost others' ambitions and undermine your own prestige. What's wrong with being an international film emperor? They judge based on acting skills, not on who has won more or bigger awards."
"Actually, I also think Wu Wei's chances of winning are really slim. But as a fellow Han Chinese, I still support him. I hope there's a miracle."
…
Not many people think that Wu Wei can win the Best Supporting Actor award.
This is mainly because the Chinese entertainment industry is now dominated by those traffic stars.
No matter how good an actor's acting is, if the acting of other actors is not good, he will not be able to bring out his own acting skills.
Furthermore, all the Chinese people who have won such international awards are well-known.
Apart from a female actress who won the Banu Award for Best Actress, no one from Han country has won those three important international awards.
There wasn't even any Best Supporting Actress or Best Supporting Actor awards.
This is why so many people are not optimistic about Wu Wei.
"The next award to be presented is our Superstar Award for Best Supporting Actor."
"This time, we are honored to invite Mr. Zhen Shaoyuan from the Han Kingdom as the guest of honor. Let us welcome Mr. Zhen with warm applause."
The audience heard that the award presenter was actually the Han Chinese who stole the spotlight.
There was an uproar at the scene.
Because whether it is the Superstar Award or the other two major awards, there has never been a Han Chinese serving as the award presenter for such important awards.
Besides, wasn't the Best Supporting Actor award presenter already announced long ago? Wasn't it the chairman of Gatley?
How did he suddenly become a Han Chinese?
Thinking of this, many people turned their eyes to the chairman of Gatley who was sitting in the middle of the first row.
Facing the gazes of the people around him, the chairman of Gatley looked calm.
I was already gnashing my teeth inwardly.
Because he had just found out that his role as award presenter had been changed.
This Superstar Award is getting more and more outrageous. They can even do something like changing the award presenter at the last minute.
Isn't this just embarrassing for him?
What kind of identity is this "Zhan Shao Yuan" that the organizers are willing to embarrass him and give him the title of award presenter?
Not to mention that the people at the scene were surprised.
The Han people who were watching the live broadcast were also dumbfounded when they heard that the award presenter was actually Shao Yuan.
"Am I hallucinating? I seem to hear His Majesty's name."
"Brother, you're not hallucinating, because I heard it too."
"Oh my god, is it really His Majesty? Your Majesty is going to be the guest presenter of the Superstar Awards?"
"Your Majesty's appearance on the red carpet of the Superstar Awards is already surprising enough. Now he's even serving as the guest of honor? This is too unreal."
"It's too fantastical. What do you think? Could it be that the Best Supporting Actor award is really Wu Wei, and that's why His Majesty is going to be the guest presenter?"
"How is that possible? Even though Your Majesty is rich, he can't bribe so many judges for the Superstar Awards, right?"
…
Wu Wei and others in the audience were also very surprised when they saw that the award presenter was Shao Yuan.
He Feng, a popular young actor standing nearby, said to Wu Wei, "Brother Dawei, the guest presenter is His Majesty. So, could the Best Supporting Actor award be you?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Although Wu Wei also hoped that he would be the best supporting actor.
But he also knew that his competitors were very strong.
My hope of snatching the Best Supporting Actor award from them is not very high.
Unless, I, Shao Yuan, bribe the judges of the Superstar Award.
When Zhen Shao Yuan walked towards the stage, he took the list of winners for the Best Supporting Actor Award from the etiquette lady.
After opening it and reading it, I smiled slightly.
It turned out to be just as he had guessed.
When I, Shao Yuan, called out Wu Wei's name in Chinese.
Wu Wei was confused.
The Han fans in front of the screen were also confused.
Then, they couldn't help but have an idea pop up in their minds.
Your Majesty is awesome.
Not only did he become the presenter of the Superstar Award, he also bribed the judges and won the Best Supporting Actor Award for Wu Wei.
"Your Majesty is awesome..."
"This is incredible! Your Majesty's wealth and power have actually been used to benefit foreign countries?"
"I won't even lean on the wall, I will just obey Your Majesty."
"You actually managed to bribe the judges of the Superstar Award. Your Majesty, you are simply defying the will of heaven."
"I say, enough is enough. How can you say that His Majesty bribed the judges? Couldn't Wu Wei have won the trophy by his own acting skills and won over the judges?"
"The guy above, when you said this, did you ask Wu Wei if he believed it?"
Wu Wei said that he himself did not believe it.
Wu Wei stood up amid applause.
After hugging the director beside him, he walked towards the stage.
During this short distance of more than ten meters, Wu Wei felt complicated and his mood was full of ups and downs!
When he came, he came with the mentality of being a runner-up.
I never thought I would win the award.
Now that the award is really his, Wu Wei feels it is a bit magical and doesn't seem real.
When I walked onto the podium, it felt like I was stepping on clouds.
It feels light and airy, without any sense of reality.
After receiving the trophy from Zhen Shao Yuan, he thanked Zhen Shao Yuan with mixed feelings.
Then he delivered his prepared acceptance speech in Chinese.
However, the more he spoke, the more guilty he felt.
Because he also felt in his heart that he was able to win this award entirely because of me, Shao Yuan.
So much so that, in the final thank you list.
He directly added my name Shao Yuan.
When his name was added, I, Shao Yuan, was confused.
This made the fans of Han Guo even more excited.
"Look, look, I told you, it must be His Majesty who used the money ability. Otherwise, why would Wu Wei thank His Majesty?"
"The truth is out. Your Majesty really did use his money power."
"Dawei, I never thought you would fall into depravity. You've even become part of His Majesty's corrupt ways."
"Your Majesty is so majestic! How much money must have been used!"
"Enough, how can you say it's just about money? What nonsense are you talking about? It's obviously because our Dawei's acting is good, and it's inseparable from His Majesty's training. That's why Dawei is grateful to His Majesty."
"Yes, yes, 'cultivation'. Your Majesty focused on 'cultivating' Dawei. It doesn't involve any money or ability, understand?"
"Wow, so it's 'cultivation'! No wonder I thought Dawei's acting was superb when I watched the movie!"
"They were all trained by His Majesty, I understand."
"When can I be trained by His Majesty? I think my acting skills are pretty good too."
"I'm not afraid of being laughed at, but my dream since childhood has been to become a famous director. Do you think His Majesty would be interested in me and give me some training?"
"Come on, I still want Your Majesty to train me to be a painter!"
…
Some people originally thought that Wu Wei won the award based on his acting skills.
Good man, I was instantly led astray by what others said.
They also started to "cultivate" it one by one.
It even went off topic in the end. It doesn't matter whether Wu Wei won the award through "cultivation" or his own strength.
The important thing is that they also want to be "trained" by me, Shao Yuan.
When I, Shao Yuan, heard Wu Wei thanking me, I was a little confused at first.
But later on he thought about it and thought that Wu Wei thanked him because he bought him a dress.
So, I accepted it calmly.
However, when he saw Wu Wei winning the award, he didn't seem very happy.
Instead, he seemed a little depressed.
I, Shao Yuan, am very surprised.
Shouldn't it be a happy thing to win an award?
Why do you still look so depressed?
Moreover, why did Wu Wei look at him as if he wanted to say something but hesitated?
After the award ceremony, Wu Wei held the trophy, looked at him with embarrassment, and told him that in fact, he had to spend money to get this award.
It’s better not to have it.
After hearing Wu Wei's words, I, Shao Yuan, was confused.
"Award bought with money? What are you talking about? When did I ever buy you an award with money?"
"Isn't this it?" Wu Wei pointed to the trophy in his arms.
Zhen Shao Yuan's mind was full of questions. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm fine, why would I buy you a prize? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would buy a prize?"
Wu Wei just looked at Shao Yuan quietly without saying a word.
The look in his eyes says it all.
I, Shao Yuan, held my forehead helplessly: "I really didn't buy the prize."
Wu Wei asked: "Then why did you suddenly become the award presenter?"
Zhen Shao Yuan: "Maybe it's because the organizers think I'm handsome?"
Wu Wei: “…”
"Okay, I was just kidding."
I, Shao Yuan, said, "You truly won this award based on your own strength. Don't you even believe in yourself?"
Buying a prize? How could he possibly do something so boring?
"I originally believed it, but after hearing what your fans said, Your Majesty, I no longer believe it."
As he spoke, Wu Wei opened the video of the Superstar Awards ceremony and showed Shao Yuan what his fans said during the live broadcast.
When I, Shao Yuan, saw clearly what those fans said about "cultivation", my head was full of black lines.
What kind of fans are these? They must be black fans.
But what the hell is this?
The reason why Wu Wei was able to win the award was because of his ability to "cultivate" money.
What is this "cultivation" of money ability? Isn't this equivalent to saying in disguise that he paid for Wu Wei to buy the award?
No wonder Wu Wei doubted his ability to win the award.
The relationship is all caused by this group of unreliable fans.
