Abstract Art Award Winner

People think Zhou Le is abstract because he always does things that are unexpected.

Even Yu Shuxin didn't expect Zhou Le to take her shoes and put them up for sale on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace app).

If it's actually hung up, then there's no way to explain it.

"Brother Le, I really know I was wrong. I'll never play abstract games with you again."

Tian Xiwei, Zhou Ye, and Meng Ziyi, who were standing to the side, were laughing so hard they couldn't straighten up.

"What's there to be afraid of? I'll share half of the profits with you. These shoes should easily fetch tens of thousands of yuan at auction."

"No, Brother Le, they'll use it for bad things."

"What bad news? Is it top-grade lung cancer?"

Yu Shuxin begged for mercy for a long time before Zhou Le finally returned the shoes.

"In short, we should take the Star Awards tonight seriously. Since we're back at our parents' home, let's not let others outdo us. You should all be more generous."

"Don't worry, we four little divas will definitely dazzle them," Meng Ziyi said confidently.

But after putting on her shoes, Yu Shuxin quickly realized: "Brother Le, you keep saying we should be more generous, but what about you? You're the top star at Tencent Pictures now. Although Teacher Zhang Ruoyun is also very capable, his achievements aren't as impressive as yours, Brother Le."

"I don't really care about being number one, but after receiving the award today, I'll probably offend some people and get scolded for a few more days. I just hope these haters will quiet down a bit before the end of the year."

"It's okay, Brother Le. We'll keep an eye on the internet for you. If any of your fans are criticizing you, go and take a picture with them. You can't let them get away with their insults for nothing. You have to make them feel bad."

Zhou Ye offered his suggestion.

"That's a good idea. I'll leave it to you then and wait for your reply."

They continued like this until the afternoon, after changing their clothes and putting on makeup, and then took a car arranged by Tencent to the venue.

As the largest video platform in China, Tencent, backed by the unshakeable positions of the social networking and gaming industries, naturally has the financial resources to do whatever it wants.

Tencent Video, having emerged as a top performer from among numerous video platforms, now commands the vast majority of domestic traffic.

iQiyi and Bilibili can only be placed in the back for now.

Although Douyin is currently the dominant short video platform and is showing signs of rising in popularity, for long videos and various movie and TV series resources, Tencent is still the better choice.

Therefore, the annual Star Awards is naturally a grand affair.

As soon as Zhou Le and his group arrived, staff members came up to make arrangements.

"Brother Le, could you please let these teachers go in first? The leader would like you to go in a little later, but you can bring a female companion."

After she finished speaking, Yu Shuxin, Zhou Ye, and the others looked at each other.

"Then the three of us will go in first. Xiao Tian, ​​you can go with Brother Le later."

Tian Xiwei naturally knew that it was these older sisters who wanted to give this opportunity to her.

"Then we'll change the player next time."

“Okay, we’ll have plenty of opportunities anyway, there’s no need to fight over these. Compared to us, you need this opportunity to appear on camera more.”

Meng Ziyi said very generously.

In their small group, Tian Xiwei was always the one who received the most care, and she was also always the one who wanted to do the most.

Therefore, the relationship between the four members is currently very strong.

Even if their fans talk about sisters, they will take the initiative to explain and restrain their fans from making irresponsible remarks.

After they finished speaking, the three of them got into the car and went inside, while Tian Xiwei and Zhou Le stood outside for a while.

I chatted with some acquaintances who came to attend for a while, and waited for everyone to go in one by one. Finally, it was almost time for the grand finale.

Even Dilraba Dilmurat and Yang Mi went in before the staff told Zhou Le that he could leave.

"Brother Le, please forgive me. You are the second to last to enter. The last one is Teacher Zhao Liying. There's really nothing I can do about it."

"It's alright. I'm already honored to be able to get in before Sister Ying. We're good friends, so let's not talk about these things. Actually, I don't really care about these things."

"No, no, Brother Le, you should still receive the treatment you deserve. This is our own backyard, so we should pay even more attention to it."

Zhou Le could understand; Zhao Liying's position in the entertainment industry was basically unshakeable at the moment.

When no more senior performers arrive, Zhao Liying is the most suitable person to be the final performer.

Although Yang Mi is also very tall, Zhao Liying still surpasses Yang Mi in terms of works, popularity, and national recognition.

This is evident in various events. In previous years, at iQiyi Scream Night, Tencent Video All Star Awards, and on other platforms, whenever the two appeared, Zhao Liying would always be closer to the center position than Yang Mi.

As for Zhou Le, he knew that he was simply placed in this position as the face of the family.

Tian Xiwei stood to the side, not daring to say a word.

Although Tian Xiwei has a lot of fans based on this year's works, she was still a little nervous as the second to last to appear.

"Corporal Xiaoda!"

"arrive."

"I order you to follow me for the entire journey, and you must keep smiling."

"Received! General Da Le!"

"Set off."

Sure enough, everyone's eyes lit up the moment Tian Xiwei and Zhou Le appeared.

What a perfect couple! Zhou Le's suit today has some subtle shimmering embellishments, making him look very young. Paired with just the right amount of makeup, he exudes a youthful spirit that shines through his maturity.

At this age, he already has such influence, and not only is he highly capable and good at handling things, but he has also never suffered a defeat in the investment field.

Then look at Tian Xiwei, she has been with Zhou Le almost since her debut, and all the resources she has participated in can be described as good.

Yet, even now, she still exudes a youthful charm. She has no scandals, doesn't create any on-screen couple rumors while filming, and focuses on her career.

"This is just right."

"The two of them have personalities that are very compatible, they look good together, and they can help each other in their acting careers."

All the camera lights were flashing for a moment.

Tian Xiwei walked as lively as ever, while Zhou Le walked very steadily.

Everyone present unconsciously wore a maternal smile.

Only after they went inside did Zhou Le release Tian Xiwei's hand.

"You don't seem nervous at all; you seem to be enjoying it quite a bit."

"No, not at all. I'm actually super nervous, but I'm not so scared when I'm with you, Brother Le." "Alright, let's go inside. I bet most people are already seated."

After they went inside, they each found their seats. Zhou Le was immediately seated in the first row, with the leader in the very center.

The seat next to her had Zhao Liying's name on it.

Zhao Liying is positioned to the left of Zhou Le, a placement that clearly demonstrates the importance Tencent, the organizer, places on Zhou Le.

On the other side, Yang Mi was in the center position among the female artists, followed by Huang Xiaoming. The remaining artists, such as Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, were positioned on both sides, but there were female artists separating them.

Before it even started, the boss sitting in the middle bent down and chatted with Zhou Le. However, Zhao Liying was also sitting in the middle. After chatting for a few minutes, Zhou Le pulled Zhao Liying in as well. Otherwise, if the photos came out tomorrow and he said that he bypassed Zhao Liying to talk to the leader, who knows how many people would think he was too scheming.

Moreover, Zhou Le had a very good impression of Zhao Liying, but it wasn't romantic; it was simply because they were very good friends.

Naturally, you should bring whatever you can.

After all, we all come from humble beginnings and have climbed our way up to where we are now.

Soon the Star Awards began, with awards arranged according to different categories and importance.

They immediately named him a potential TV drama actor of the year.

Meng Ziyi's name was called during this performance.

Moreover, when arranging the order, Meng Ziyi was ahead of Li Gengxi, and then the others were behind her. After Meng Ziyi went up, she chatted with Zhu Xudan for a few words. Although it is unknown what they talked about, it can be seen that the two had a good relationship.

But the awards presented later were for programs produced by Tencent Video in the past year or two.

When the awards were being presented, Zhou Le deliberately turned his head to catch a glimpse of Cai Xukun.

Those standing on the stage now can all be considered Cai Xukun's junior brothers and sisters.

"Kun Kun has also made a name for himself and is now able to play the role of senior brother. On the other hand, among the other members of that group, it seems that only Fan Chengcheng has been able to stir up any trouble so far."

Next up are Huang Minghao and Xiao Gui, but compared to Cai Xukun, they all pale in comparison!

Whether in personal business or in internet communication, no one can compare to Kun Kun!

When it comes to Xiao Gui, most people's impression is that he didn't make it big on The Rap of China, and then he got a debut spot on Idol Producer.

So far, Fan Chengcheng's most prominent role is that of Fan Binbin's younger brother.

But Kun Kun is different.

The founder of singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball; the fashion leader of center-parted overalls; a trendsetter who single-handedly changed the original meaning of the character "Kun"; and the strongest force representing the rise of new generation emojis.

If you randomly pick ten young people on the street and ask them to start with the word "chicken," the second one will definitely be you.

To put it bluntly, if Fan Chengcheng hadn't inherited the legacy from his sister, he probably wouldn't have reached this position, and even if he had, it would have been extremely difficult.

Even after the Kunkun meme came along, very few people on Bilibili started using the Wu Yifan meme anymore.

It's worth noting that Wu Yifan's electric eel meme was quite popular before this.

Zhou Le was interested in these gossips, but three other people present were concerned about whether they could outshine Zhou Le at this year's Star Awards.

Although Chen Feiyu also had his own hopes, he knew that this was Zhou Le's home turf, and that it was already quite an achievement for him to win an award.

As for Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo, they still held onto a glimmer of hope, especially Xiao Zhan, whose company, New Classics Media, is also under Tencent, so this place can be considered his home turf.

The conflict with Zhou Le is a historical one, but right now they are locked in a fierce battle over meetings and works, and since they are in the same field, the competition is the fiercest.

When the names of the two actors were announced at the same time for the Most Popular TV Drama Actor of the Year, they went on stage to accept the award. They appeared quite close, but Zhou Le could tell that it was just an act.

The immense popularity of "The Untamed" was an opportunity for them, but it wasn't exactly a glorious one.

Especially after that, they both deliberately engaged in personal marketing to avoid CP fans associating the two of them together.

But this can only be done with a little effort, because fans who like the BL (Boys' Love) pairings will fill in the blanks themselves.

“They’re both quite handsome, Le’er, are you feeling any pressure?” Zhang Liying asked with a smile.

"Pressure? I haven't known what pressure is since I graduated from university. The only thing that can give me pressure is studying," Zhou Le said confidently.

"Haha, you're really going to be a top student to the very end."

"I wouldn't call myself that. The image of a top student is secondary for me. The main thing is that it's an abstract concept. Actually, I've never understood why people always have this misunderstanding about me."

Zhao Liying let out a long sigh: "Is this a misunderstanding? You're clearly very abstract, aren't you?"

"Sis, even you think I'm that kind of person, then I'm so heartbroken."

"Are you sad? I can't tell at all. I think you're the kind of person who will still have a bright smile even if you're really hurt."

"Sis, that's a very poetic way of putting it."

However, Zhou Le felt no pressure at all about the two going on stage to receive the award. After all, "The Untamed" is already a topic that people can't avoid. It rose to the top in just half a year, so it's no exaggeration to say that they won the award for popular actors.

To Zhou Le's surprise, Chen Feiyu's award was related to film, not television.

A little while later, the annual quality TV series award came up. Actor Zhang Ruoyun won the award for his outstanding performance, while actress Tian Xiwei was called out.

"Le'er, you've really brought Xiao Tian out of the woodwork." Zhao Liying was also a little surprised. They were all in the TV drama industry, and she knew about Tian Xiwei's works.

"It was mainly her own hard work; I just helped her find some opportunities."

Although Zhou Le said that, Zhao Liying understood perfectly well.

"A Little Reunion" was produced by Wang Jun, and "Story of Yanxi Palace" was produced by Yu Zheng. If it weren't for Zhou Le, these two dramas probably wouldn't have received investment from Tencent.

Without Tencent Pictures' investment, Tian Xiwei wouldn't be standing on this stage today.

When Xiaotian went to iQiyi before, he also won an award, but it wasn't as significant as this one.

Zhao Liying sat quietly the whole time, because she knew her award would be at the very end.

During this period, Mao Buyi won the Singer of the Year award, and after Mao Buyi, Zhou Le directly won the Film Actor of the Year award.

"Congratulations! This is already considered the most prestigious award related to film in the Star Awards."

"Thank you, sister." Zhou Le thanked the people around her repeatedly.

When Xiao Zhan saw that Zhou Le had actually won such an award, he sighed inwardly, knowing that a TV series award with a prefix was definitely not as prestigious as a film award without a prefix.

As for Wang Yibo, he was relieved. It would actually be beneficial for him if the other party could go further, since he and Zhou Le didn't have any conflicts.

On the contrary, he himself likes racing and some extreme sports.

He couldn't make it last time, so he plans to try again this time.

Maybe we can arrange a meal together and get to know each other. (End of Chapter)
