Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 778 Hundred Flowers Award (44)

TF-boys, all three members are top-tier celebrities.

The three "little ones" in the "Four Big and Three Little Ones" series are these three!
When TFBOYS debuted, China was lacking in boy groups; there was market demand but insufficient supply.

A simple, ordinary Weibo post can get hundreds of thousands of likes and even millions of reposts!
Whenever news about them appears, or their names and photos appear on someone else's Weibo, they invariably attract huge attention.

To put it simply, if you dare to say even the slightest bad thing about TFBOYS or any of its members, the "Clovers" (TFBOYS' fans) will instantly swarm you...

However, where there are fans, there are also haters…

On Baidu Tieba, there's a cartoon of three naked boys throwing poop at their fans on stage—the "taofen boys"!

We don't know why there's such malice...

To put it simply, at their peak, their Baidu Index scores were twice that of Shen Yan's!
Uh… For his solo concert, his 10th anniversary concert, 6 million people were vying for 30,000 tickets, and scalpers were offering tickets for as much as 25000!

However, the three of them will definitely have to develop their own paths...

As a top-tier celebrity with a built-in fanbase…

Ji Xiang also had his own ideas, but he knew they would be quite difficult…

Wang Junkai contacted Li Lianhua's team;

Wang Yuan signed with Fan Xiaopang... leaving only Yi Yangqianxi!

However, Yi Yangqianxi is in a pretty bad situation right now. He wasn't exactly a direct descendant of TF Entertainment. Before TFBOYS debuted, Wang Junkai and Wang Yuan had already become internet celebrities as a small group, attracting a certain number of fans. The "Boys' Academy Study Room" that directly led to TFBOYS's huge success also featured them as the main characters.

In the early days, most of the fans knew Yi Yangqianxi through them.

The main reason TF Entertainment hired him was because of his dance skills!
He left the boy band Whirlwind Youth, and then TF Entertainment signed him...

"Why don't you just sign Jackson Yee? He's perfect for playing a stubborn young man!"

"...Then I'll go talk to them!"

"Whatever..." Shen Yan was about to speak when his phone vibrated. He took it out and saw a text message from Meng Ziyi: 'Why aren't you back yet?'

Okay, Sister Meng was supposed to leave last week...

Having probably tasted the sweetness, he stubbornly stayed in Shen Yan's room!

Yan Ge doesn't care...

For him, having a girl is quite nice.

Shen Yan didn't hide anything from her and replied directly, "Your boss is here!"

Meng Ziyi: "Isn't my boss you?"

"Your big boss, Ji Xiang..." After thinking for a moment, Shen Yan asked again, "Want to come along?"

When Ji Xiang saw his reply, he couldn't help but ask, "Who is it?"

"Meng Ziyi!"

"Meng Ziyi?"

"right…"

"...She didn't go home?"

"No, it's on my side..."

“Then you guys…” Ji Xiang immediately understood: “Be careful, don’t get photographed!”

"I'm staying at the hotel where the film crew is staying, who would film me?"

At this point, Shen Yan asked curiously, "In recent years, quite a few paparazzi have followed me, but they haven't managed to take any pictures?"

Ji Xiang also looked puzzled: "Logically, it should be there, but it's not..."

"Perhaps I am morally upright?"

"What do you think?"

"That was just good luck... but I've always been very cautious!"

"...It's better to be cautious, the higher-ups are taking these things very seriously now..." Ji Xiang thought for a moment and then advised, "If it really doesn't work out, just break up with the others...we can just have a normal relationship, and no one can find fault with it!"

Shen Yan waved his hand: "Don't meddle in my private affairs..."

"...I'm just reminding you..."

"Meng Ziyi said she's coming!"

"...Huh?" "Maybe you wanted to ask about the situation with *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*..."

"Lu Yang is in charge of the preparations. He told me that filming should start around November..." Ji Xiang said, "However, if you want Meng Ziyi to play the female lead, it would be best to have her join the crew earlier and receive some martial arts training..."

"Okay, you can tell her that later!"

……

When Meng Ziyi arrived, Shen Yan was talking to Ji Xiang about the Hundred Flowers Awards…

The Hundred Flowers Awards recently awarded Best Director to Shen Yan for "The Martian".

Don't think the Hundred Flowers Awards have changed their ways; Shen Yan and Wuershan both won Best Director!
That's right, a double-yolk egg!

Shen Yan didn't go to the scene at all...

In the entire cast and crew of "The Martian," only producer Ji Xiang and lead actress Qin Hailu made an appearance...

Hearing that Shen Yan and Wuershan both won Best Director...

Ji Xiang couldn't help but sarcastically remark, "Looks like Shen Yan was right. For him, winning an Oscar is much easier... and besides, he wouldn't have to share the award with anyone else!"

Wuershan was a little embarrassed…

He wanted to refute it, but... he really couldn't. After all, Shen Yan was an Oscar-winning director and had won the Venice Golden Lion twice!

In media interviews, all he could say was, "It's the judges' recommendation..."

Shen Yan and Wuershan shared the Best Director award... Then Feng Shaofeng won Best Actor for "Wolf Totem," and Xu Qing won Best Actress for "Mr. Six."

The Hundred Flowers Awards...

Audience Award!
Even more outrageous is that Li Yifeng and Yang Tianbao later won the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress awards at the Hundred Flowers Awards!

That's right...

Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress!

Shen Yan was a little annoyed: "From now on, don't submit our films to the Hundred Flowers Awards! I'm ashamed!"

"Why not apply? Even just being nominated can bring in millions in prize money for a single film!"

"I don't care about this little bit of money..."

Ji Xiang waved his hand: "What's the big deal? The year Fan Bingbing won Best Actress was even more outrageous!"

"Best Actress? Best Leading Actress, I guess?"

"She was nominated for her role in 'Cell Phone' back then, but the Hundred Flowers Awards changed its competition rules at the last minute, changing 'Best Actress' and 'Best Supporting Actress' to 'Best Actress' and 'Outstanding Actress'. Then Fan Bingbing won Best Actress as a supporting actress... And this competition rules were changed back after only one year, clearly designed to favor certain people!"

"Holy shit..."

"The Golden Rooster Awards are a bit better, but the Hundred Flowers Awards are practically a recognition ceremony for the Beijing entertainment circle..."

"The Beijing circle? Not Huayi Brothers?"

“Huayi is just a bridgehead…” Ji Xiang paused, then sighed, “Huayi is going to collapse sooner or later… What do you think, should we set up an award? Under the name of Maoyan?”

"Forget it," Shen Yan shook his head. "Awards are inherently a small circle. Once a circle forms, it becomes exclusive... and easily leads to stagnation..."

Meng Ziyi pushed open the door and walked in: "What are you talking about?"

“…We didn’t talk about much,” Ji Xiang glanced at Meng Ziyi…

Hmm, her complexion is rosy and her eyes are sparkling; it seems she's been eating very well lately!

And she naturally sat down next to Shen Yan: "I just checked Weibo, and a lot of people are criticizing Yang Tianbao!"

Where is Li Yifeng?

"...Not many people criticize Li Yifeng..."

"This person is really lucky!"

Li Yifeng is incredibly lucky. He won the Hundred Flowers Award with Tianbao, who absorbed 80% of the criticism. He also won the Golden Eagle Award with Dilraba, who absorbed 90% of the criticism…

Furthermore, Li Yifeng admitted to using body doubles in an interview—when a reporter asked him about young male actors using "body doubles" for screenplays, he directly admitted it, saying it was to save time, and that body doubles were used for some long shots, such as in "Sparrow".

Surprisingly, there's hardly any coverage...

It's amazing!
