All the other award presenters and Best Actor and Best Actress nominees were present regardless of whether they won the award or not, except Wen Zhang who was "in a hurry to catch a plane".
After Wei Yang found out, he didn’t know how to comment. You said he had low emotional intelligence, but at least he didn’t put himself in a difficult position. Wei Yang at least knew about the letter in advance, so he came to show his support, and he also had a few trophies, so he was in a peaceful state of mind.
Wu Moubo was previously highly regarded by the outside world and he probably even thought of his acceptance speech in private. But now he has lost the Best Actor award and doesn't even have a consolation prize, yet he still has to socialize with a smile and a glass of wine in hand.
Thinking about it this way, it is hard to say who is right and who is wrong between the two choices of Wu and Wen…
After socializing for a while, Wei Yang finally found time to get some food, ran to a corner to fill his stomach, and made a phone call to confirm tomorrow's interview and the time to return to Hengdian.
As a result, he hadn't taken a few bites when Da Mimi came over again, lifting her skirt and snatched two snacks from him.
Wei Yang had a headache: "You're eager to have a scandal, right?"
Da Mimi licked the residue on her hands and wanted to reach for the plate in Wei Yang's hand, but the latter slapped her hands and complained angrily.
"Stingy guy, I have something important to talk to you about."
Da Mimi looked around and whispered, "Someone asked me to be a lobbyist and asked you to make a movie with us as the main actors."
Wei Yang forked a piece of salad into his mouth, not showing any surprise at all: "Tiny Times?"
"How do you know?"
Da Mimi was surprised, Wei Yang smiled and said: "Little sister, you underestimate your brother. There is nothing in the film and television projects in Shanghai that I don't know."
After a little pretense, Wei Yang told the truth: "Guo Xiaosi had approached me a long time ago, but I didn't agree. I didn't expect that he would instigate you to be his lobbyist."
"You tell me whether I should answer it or not."
Da Mimi hadn't signed the contract yet. When she heard Wei Yang's refusal, she immediately became hesitant and lowered her head to ask for advice.
Wei Yang glanced at the magnificent sight when she bent over. Da Mimi seemed to sense something and she deliberately straightened her body, her voice becoming delicate.
"Boss Wei, please give me some advice."
"Speak properly and don't act like a woman."
Wei Yang handed over the almost finished plate and crossed his legs: "Go get me something to eat, less meat, not too spicy, and a glass of water."
Seeing him ordering a maid around like a master, Da Mi Mi complained angrily: "You eat so much, aren't you afraid of getting fat to death?"
"I have a good metabolism, so I won't gain weight. Hurry up, I'm watching you, don't add any condiments to me."
"snort."
Da Mimi was very angry, but she still obediently got some food. However, this time she learned her lesson and made a portion for herself as well.
"Boss Wei, please give me some pointers this time."
"No problem."
Wei Yang picked up a good-looking cake from Da Mimi's plate and said as he tasted it.
"I haven't read the script, but I know a little bit about the original work. How should I put it? It has an audience, but there are many points of criticism. Considering that the director is a newcomer, the probability of being criticized is very high..."
Da Mimi asked, "You mean I shouldn't answer it."
"I'm not finished yet."
Wei Yang took a sip of water and said, "I told you, this kind of movie has its audience. The ratings and reputation may not be high, but it still has box office success. More importantly, being scolded is also a kind of popularity. You understand this without me having to tell you."
Da Mimi nodded, she understood very well.
Although it was not her intention to become a black celebrity in the beginning, her team later went along with it and even deliberately hyped it up to increase popularity and exposure.
Otherwise, if the whole nation is really disgusted and boycotts, the correct development should be that the more people criticize, the cooler it gets, rather than the more people criticize, the hotter it gets.
“So should I take this role?”
Wei Yang did not answer directly, but asked in return: "Do you have any other choice?"
"Palace" became a huge hit, and Da Mimi wanted to break into the film industry. However, apart from the Hong Kong resources provided by Meiya, it was difficult to obtain mainland resources.
For Lu Tailang's "The Banquet", Da Mimi had already attended the opening ceremony and issued relevant press releases. However, when the filming officially started, the actor became her "good sister" Huo Siyan.
It can be said that I really experienced what it was like to be Tang Yan in "Chinese Paladin 3"...
At this stage, in addition to "Painted Skin 2" in which Huanrui participated, Da Mimi took advantage of the popularity of "Palace" and the popularity of the CP of the second male lead Feng Shaofeng to get the second female lead.
Apart from this, "Tiny Times" is almost the only significant mainland film resource that Da Mimi has come into contact with.
Da Mimi diligently forked all the sausages on her plate to Wei Yang: "Well, I heard that your company is also going to make a movie."
"You have sharp ears."
Wei Yang did not deny it, but said directly: "Either we need someone from our company, or we can hire a big star with better box office appeal. You... probably are not within our consideration range."
Da Mi Mi Cha Cai became more attentive: "I can be one of us, too."
"you?"
Wei Yang smiled: "You think one Tangren is not exciting enough, and you want to add Huanrui, right?"
Huanrui is definitely not helping Da Mimi out of charity, but is trying to bring her under its wing. If she goes to Wei Yang at this time, Huanrui will kill her.
"Okay, just shoot it well. Tiny Times is pretty good too."
Wei Yang ate all the food that Da Mimi had just picked up, drank some water, and asked about the topic that concerned him most.
“When can I join the crew of Joy of Life?”
I'm going to fuck you! Da Mimi was a little unhappy after being hit by Wei Yang continuously. She wanted to throw this sentence in his face, but she didn't have the courage, so she could only reply in silence.
"About a week. I have a lot of activities going on here. I'll just have to finish it."
"Okay then. I'll have someone contact your team and send out a notice."
Wei Yang stood up and stretched, then looked at Da Mimi and said something teasing.
"Please help me clean up the dishes. By the way, next time netizens ask me about this, I will prove to you that your feet really don't stink."

After saying that, he ran away immediately, for fear that Da Mimi would stab him to death with her fork. Da Mimi was really mad at him and almost threw the knife and fork away.
But soon, she rolled her eyes, took out her phone and took a photo, smiling like a fox who stole grapes...
…
On the way home from the celebration banquet, Wei Fei shared with Wei Yang the news that fans from various groups were attacking Da Mimi's fans, and then showed him the Weibo post that Da Mimi had just posted.
There were three pictures, one was the Magnolia Trophy, one was a photo of her and Wei Yang holding the trophy during a backstage interview, and one was a picture of two buffet plates with similar food.
[It was a fruitful night, and I won the award with Lao Wei... We were hungry at the dinner, so we secretly went to a corner to eat. Lao Wei has a big appetite and is lazy. Next time I will run first (angry) (snickering) (love)]
“This Weibo post is quite good.”
Wei Yang praised Da Mimi for a rare occasion. What he wrote on Weibo was intimate and ambiguous but not over the line. The exposure gimmick was there, and there was still room for mediation. After all, it was normal for old friends to receive awards and have meals together.
I liked Da Mimi's post using my main account, and I actually saw some idle netizens going to his comment section to ask if it was true that Da Mimi had smelly feet.
Wei Yang was both amused and confused, but he still replied with two words [rumor]. Unexpectedly, he received a fiery response from the netizen.
[I don't believe it unless you let me smell it]
Wei Yang: “…”
Fortunately, he didn’t mention Yuzu, otherwise he would have thought he had run into a reborn colleague…
The next day, Wei Yang was interviewed by an online media and a local media in Shanghai, and talked about his feelings about winning the award. The content of the interview was nothing more than that everyone was carrying the sedan chair.
After the interview, Wei Yang flew directly back to Hengdian to film.
However, the news about the Magnolia Awards is still fermenting, and some media fans and followers are arguing about it.
The first one to be affected is the unpopularity of Best Actor. Zhang Jiayi's advantage is too small, and many people have never heard of the drama "Borrowing a Gun".
There are some differences between TV drama awards and film awards. Film awards can focus purely on artistic level, shooting techniques, acting skills, etc., without considering commercial box office, but TV dramas are popular films and TV series, and ratings and influence cannot be ignored.
Many people think that the performance of this drama is too weak, and strictly speaking, it is lucky to be nominated.
"Cell Phone", "Tea House", "You Are My Brother" and "Battle for Marriage" from the same period were all relatively good and popular works, but they failed to be shortlisted.
Many people even think that even if Wu Moubo of "Before the Dawn" does not win the award, Wen Zhang of "Snow Leopard" and Wei Yang of "Eastern Palace" have a better chance than Zhang.
In other words, Zhang Jiayi himself is a talented actor and has had a good reputation in recent years, so everyone is more targeting Bai Yulan and is relatively lenient towards him.
To be honest, the above-mentioned "You Are My Brother" was also starred by Zhang Jiayi, with Deng Chao as the dual male protagonists. The ratings, influence and actors' performances were all good.
If Zhang Jiayi had won the award for this drama, the controversy would never have been so big. It was indeed an operational error.
Regarding the controversy over the Best Actor award at the Magnolia Awards, the Beijing Evening News exposed the truth without reservation, pointing out that many of the nominated dramas and actors were related to the Magnolia Awards organizers, and that this practice of selecting the most virtuous without avoiding relatives was unfair.
Other media were not as tough as the Beijing media. Although they also raised some objections, the wording they used was relatively more tactful.
Although Best Actress Chen Su is also related to someone related to her, she is a hot favorite herself, so there is not much to say about her.
Another big news is that Da Mimi and Wei Yang will be on the same stage. As some of the most popular artists at the moment, their every move will attract countless attention.
Both the Best Actor and Best Actress awards failed, but both won the Popularity Award. They interacted on Weibo, replied to fans, and had fan wars. There was so much to report.
It is no exaggeration to say that the popularity between the two of them even overshadows the magnolia itself.
If it weren't for the controversy over Best Actor, it would have definitely been won. After all, most netizens don't care about awards, but care about gossip.
Da Mimi visited the Magnolia Awards, and although she only won the Popularity Award and was nominated for Best Actress, her personal exposure increased dramatically.
Especially after interacting with Wei Yang, the popularity was even higher than the CP hype between him and Feng Shaofeng in "Palace". It really opened Da Mimi's eyes, and she also understood why Fan Xiaopang is still flirting with Wei Yang and making scandals.
Who can resist a man who always makes himself the headline?
