Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

Chapter 259 The "My Love from the Star" Awards and the New Top Circle in the Chinese Entertainment Industry
Events both inside and outside the venue were always happening simultaneously.

But whether on or off the field, Ikeno is undoubtedly the most eye-catching protagonist.

At this moment, the annual Golden Eagle Awards ceremony has begun. Chi Ye is sitting firmly in the center, and during the live broadcast, his close-up shots and images are not reduced or disappeared in any way.

Many big names and industry insiders who observed this scene all had mixed feelings.

In the end, they still couldn't "bring him down".

In fact, everyone anticipated what is happening now and the outcome.

Because Ikeno's previous treatment at Yuena was indeed evident to all.

But his act of paying back taxes to Yuena shortly after leaving and making money still exceeded everyone's expectations—is he really that perfect?
How are we supposed to deal with you if you act like this?

Now things are all good. Ikeno has gained popularity, and what was once the biggest problem has been perfectly resolved. More importantly... he might even win the Best Actor award and continue to maintain his undisputed top-tier status.

Well... at this point, no one realized that Ikeno was not someone who would not fight back or talk back. The first round of "attack" had ended, but the second round of "counterattack" had just begun.

"Virtue."

From the edge of the first row, Xu Yingying glanced at Chi Ye, who was in the center of the second row, and pouted, feeling a little frustrated.

Unexpectedly, this time he was able to "escape unscathed".

Not only did she escape unscathed, but thinking about the message Peng Chen had sent her not long ago, Xu Yingying felt disgusted, as if she had tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead—she even had to pay Jiang a "hush money" because, unlike Peng Chen, who was extorted by Jiang, she had indeed been in contact with Jiang before.

Although there is no evidence, what's done is done. If we let Jiang continue to make these accusations, it won't benefit anyone.

"Congratulations to Liu Zhihuang for winning the Best Director award for 'My Love from the Star'."

On stage, the previous year's Golden Eagle Award winner for Best Director announced the winner of this year's Golden Eagle Award for Best Director.

Director Liu in the audience couldn't stop smiling. Although he had expected it, when the moment actually came, his face was still flushed, and he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

This reminded him of the first time he met Ikeno.

At the time, in order to get him to star in "My Love from the Star", Ikeno said that he would be the next Magnolia Award for Best Director. Later, after the collaboration was finalized, he sincerely said that the Magnolia Award might not be possible, but the Golden Eagle Award would definitely be.

Golden Eagles can definitely do it... Golden Eagles are pretty good too!
Director Liu truly never imagined that a single film, "My Love from the Star," could propel his career to unprecedented heights. Winning the Golden Eagle Award for Best Director and the title of Director of "My Love from the Star" signifies that he has instantly risen to become a top-tier director in the industry.

—He is no longer the photographer who was ridiculed for only being able to take pictures.

After hugging the cast and crew of "My Love from the Star," he walked onto the stage and, as usual, thanked the organizing committee. Then, after a pause, he said, "Finally, I want to thank Mr. Ikeno."

The previously noisy scene suddenly froze.

Director Liu glanced around before continuing, "Back then, he told me that as long as I took on the script for 'My Love from the Star,' I would definitely win an award... At the time, I was actually quite dismissive... But as it turns out, our boss really does have a unique eye for talent."

As soon as he finished speaking, laughter erupted in the room, and someone suddenly realized – Boss, yes, Chi Ye is still Director Liu's boss.

No… it’s not just a popular figure; it’s the boss of a top-tier director in the industry…

We recognize these characters individually, but when put together, they sound so strange…

"in addition."

On stage, Director Liu continued his speech: "Our boss did have some very painful experiences in the past, but I don't think that should be used as a 'weapon' for others to attack him... Finally, thank you Mr. Ikeno for writing such an excellent script as 'My Love from the Star,' thank you to Ikeno Studio and all the members of the 'My Love from the Star' production team, thank you everyone."

After he finished speaking, there was a pause before applause broke out.

The barrage exploded in the live broadcast room.

"Holy shit!! Liu!!"

"Director Liu is so outspoken! That's exactly how it should be!"

"Which bastards are slandering my brother? Keep slandering him!"

"Thumbs up. We can't keep using the fact that Ikeno was bullied so badly in the past to smear him, can we?"

"I still can't understand how those people who live in Yutaka and don't pay taxes have such brains."

"The widespread use of the internet has revealed how many mentally challenged and deformed individuals there are among the 14 billion people in the population."

"Coconut is a top-tier star in film, television, and music with exceptional talent, good looks, and ability, which makes many people envious."

"The Golden Eagle TV program team must be dumbfounded, haha, they didn't expect Director Liu to dare to say that."

"..."

The Golden Eagle Awards production team really made a fool of themselves.

To be precise, most of the directing team members were dumbfounded.

Backstage, a director's face was ashen: "This Director Liu, how can he say everything?! How can he say something like this during the live broadcast of the Golden Eagle Awards?!"

"..."

The director sighed, somewhat helplessly: "If he wants to talk, let him talk."

As for showing loyalty... and the storm surrounding Ikeno and the outside world is still ongoing, so... it's fine to keep quiet, but if we do talk about it... well, we'll talk about it. After all, the Golden Eagle, Magnolia, and Flying Apsaras are different... more "mainstream".

In addition... he was actually a little uneasy because he had "offended" Ikeno before.

Especially since the higher-ups haven't said anything, and they never asked him to cancel Chi Ye's red carpet closing act, so... all things considered, this Golden Eagle director is now genuinely feeling guilty.

You're the boss. If the award recipients from your company want to say something, then let them say it... as long as they don't violate the rules.

……

The idea of ​​the Golden Eagle Awards' chief director was originally just a self-deprecating expression, but he never expected that what happened at the Golden Eagle Awards would make him doubt whether his directing career was coming to an end.

—An accident, an accident, all of them were accidents.

"Congratulations to the China Golden Eagle Awards for Best Cinematography – My Love from the Star, by Wang Jie."

When the photographer from "My Love from the Star" came on stage and thanked the organizing committee as usual, he suddenly said before leaving the stage: "In addition, I would also like to thank Mr. Ikeno. He has nothing to hide. Mr. Ikeno's ability and talent are obvious to all. As someone who has worked with Mr. Ikeno, I strongly object to and resist certain groups'..."

The microphone at the back was cut off, and the host's voice replaced it: "Okay, thank you Wang Jie, congratulations Wang Jie, congratulations to 'My Love from the Star'!"

The hot-tempered and straightforward photographer glanced at the host, then at the direction of the directing team, sneered, and left the stage with the trophy.

The entire audience erupted in uproar, then fell silent.

Shang Jie's eyes widened as she sat in the second row on the right, looking left and right, then reaching out to tug at Shi Jinwei, excitedly whispering, "Weiwei, did you see that?! My god, what a spectacle!" "This time, the Golden Eagle Awards are going to go down in history! It's all car crashes!"

Shi Jinwei: "..."

Pliers Sister was also a little confused at this moment.

Because Director Liu is understandable, as he's a legitimate director signed to Chi Ye Studio, but how could Wang Jie, a top-tier cinematographer renowned in Taipei and the mainland entertainment industry, speak like that in public...?

Does he also intend to sign with Ikeno Studio?

Hmm... that's probably unlikely. Wang Jie has a notoriously bad temper. For him to say something like that, it can only mean that he was genuinely angered by the smear tactics used by certain people in the industry. Perhaps... he was also shocked and angry at what Yue Na had done to Chi Ye.

Of course, it can also be seen from the side that Ikeno is definitely not "alone" in the industry now; he is surrounded by a group of people.

"When Wang Jie was young, he was Jackie Chan's professional photographer. I heard that Jiang Kaige tried to invite him several times, but he couldn't... This time he's really angry."

"Weiwei, Weiwei, it's so beautiful! This year's Golden Eagle Awards are so beautiful!"

While Shang Jie was still talking about Qianzi Jie, Qianzi Jie had already fallen into deep thought—why does it feel like the gap between me and Chi Ye is getting bigger and bigger?
Will I really have another chance to beat him in the future?

Am I really going to be suppressed by him for the rest of my life?!
"Golden Eagle Award for Best Editing - 'My Love from the Star', Zhang Feng, congratulations to Mr. Zhang Feng."

Just then, another major award was presented: Best Editing. The winner was once again the cast and crew of "My Love from the Star".

—At this year's Golden Eagle Awards, "My Love from the Star" received more than ten nominations, which can be said to have broken the record in the Chinese entertainment industry. Moreover, of the nominations, all of them have been announced so far.

Although it was known beforehand that "My Love from the Star" would undoubtedly be a sweeping success for a gala like the Golden Eagle Awards, because its popularity meant that no one could compete with it.

—If you in the Chinese entertainment industry dare not give it, then you're not only losing face for the people of "My Love from the Star," but also for the face of the bigwigs who keep shouting about the success of "cultural export."

Therefore, "My Love from the Star" is destined to be the biggest winner at the Golden Eagle Awards tonight. If it weren't for those off-stage issues, perhaps they would have remained more "calm," but now...

"Both teachers thanked Mr. Ikeno just now, and I would like to thank Mr. Ikeno as well."

The editing team for "My Love from the Star" was Liu's original team, Chi Ye Studio, which he signed with along with Liu. Before that, he was actually a complete newcomer.

He was not particularly noticeable in Director Liu's team.

But after "My Love from the Star", he became a top-tier editor in the industry and one of the most outstanding figures in idol dramas.

And the drama "My Love from the Star" created countless people like this.

Many people who don't pay attention to behind-the-scenes work may not have understood the significance of this, but only now do they realize that "My Love from the Star" is far more than just making Chi Ye and Jin Xia famous. It represents a symbol, a circle, a newly emerging top-tier "circle" in the Chinese entertainment industry that no one can ignore.

Zhang Feng was undoubtedly grateful to Chi Ye; his gratitude towards Chi Ye even exceeded that towards his mentor, Director Liu.

He was deeply grateful for the kindness of being recognized and mentored, and even during the editing process, many scenes were discussed with him personally by Ikeno, demonstrating his gratitude for being "taught."

So, despite his nervousness, Zhang Feng finally said, "I hope this industry can be more fair and friendly, and less deliberately targeted and smeared... Otherwise, many young people who are new to the industry will be very disappointed."

After he finished speaking, the audience didn't remain silent for long this time. There was some stiff applause, but also some genuine applause.

Zhang Feng nervously stepped off the stage. Chi Ye looked at him and teased, "You're a tech geek, and you always stutter when you speak. Why make things difficult for yourself?"

"It's different, it's different."

Zhang Feng blushed and shook his head, saying, "President Chi, things are different now than usual. I was very surprised to receive this award, but I also know that this award was given to me by 'My Love from the Star'."

Chino glanced at him: "Ah, why don't you just say it was from me?"

Zhang Feng was stunned.

Ikeno Raku: "Haha, alright, go back now. Don't say that again, it's easy to offend people."

"...So what if we offend them? We don't rely on them for a living anyway."

Zhang Feng is quite tough.

After experiencing the triumph of the three heroes from "My Love from the Star," the atmosphere at the Golden Eagle Awards can be described as a stark contrast of ice and fire.

The trending topics and bullet comments outside the venue were frenzied, while the many big names and participants inside the venue were silent and "suppressed".

Because—"My Love from the Star," "My Love from the Star," it's all "My Love from the Star."

Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Supporting Actor, Best Music...

The China TV Golden Eagle Awards should just be renamed the "China TV Star You Awards"!
The Golden Eagle Awards and Hunan TV are being ridiculously sycophantic!

In addition, perhaps because the three main characters of "My Love from the Star" were so fierce, the members of the "My Love from the Star" team who won awards later, whether sincerely or not, all mentioned Ikeno and thanked "Mr. Ikeno".

The bolder ones might make a few sarcastic remarks about off-stage matters, while the less timid ones would quietly say something like, "I hope there will be less suspicion in the industry."

In short, by the end, the Golden Eagle Awards audience was completely numb.

The production team and directors were completely baffled.

Chu Hanzhou, sitting in the audience, cursed, "Damn it, there's no such thing as being this pretentious."

"..."

Ning Mo, who happened to be in the row in front of him, heard the voice and turned around to look at him.

"Uh……"

Chu Hanzhou blinked, a little guilty: "What's wrong, Sister Ning...?"

"It's alright." Ning Mo thought for a moment before smiling and reminding him, "Don't swear in this kind of situation."

Chu Hanzhou was stunned—but he quickly came to his senses.

Ning Mo is indeed recognized in the industry as a "polite actress," a typical person who never swears or does anything dirty.

Rumors in the industry say that she has had a severe case of mysophobia since childhood, and is somewhat intolerant of imperfections... She is not very likable, but unfortunately, she is a big star and few people can "control" her.

"Oh, this next award... well... it should be said to be one of the most coveted awards for every male artist and actor throughout their lives..."

At this moment, the veteran actor known for playing the loser on stage, the previous Golden Eagle Award winner, was already holding his cue cards and began presenting the award—one of the most prestigious awards of the day, and arguably the most talked-about.

Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor, Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor.

It's a Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor that everyone already knows will be given to someone even before the awards are presented.
