I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 225, The Grand Ceremony of the Storm!
The word "uncle" evokes endless imagination.
"By the way, didn't you recognize that Mr. Xiang as your godfather?"

At this moment, Lin Zhiying looked at Huang Xiaoming beside her.

Huang Xiaoming's wine glass trembled.

Yeah, even if I lose my dignity, I'll still have a godfather, and Xiang Zuo is still my brother.

So he called Li Xuan "Uncle"?

Is there something wrong with this generational ranking?
Who exactly is this Li Xuan?
"uncle"

Liu Lili also heard Xiang Zuo address Li Xuan as "Uncle," which startled her. Did this mean that he and Xiang Huaqiang were brothers?

Nope.
These things had already made Liu Lili a little confused. She didn't even hear what the Sony president next to her was chattering about. She hadn't expected anything from Li Xuan at all.
What is his relationship with Charles Heung?
"This kid is interesting."

Chen Jingfei then joked, "It's actually the 'Uncle' who's facing left."

"I don't know."

"uh-huh."

Indeed, this was quite interesting for Chen Jingfei. He had never heard of Xiang Huaqiang having such a young brother—though, judging by the habits of old Hong Kong money-lover.

Calling each other brothers and forming sworn brotherhoods is not a particularly strange thing.
However, this habit of theirs is not a random one, but rather a result of finding common ground after weighing the pros and cons.

Perhaps it was for mutual benefit, or something else, that led them to become sworn brothers.

There must be something about Li Xuan that Xiang Huaqiang values ​​in order to make him his 'brother'.

interesting
This classmate of Liu Yifei is quite interesting.

"Next, at the grand ceremony, our Sisi will get to make an appearance."

Chen Jingfei then brought up the topic of the upcoming grand ceremony.

This is the first award that a young person just starting out can get their hands on—and it's even a pretty good one. As a businessman, Chen Jingfei thinks it's definitely not low in terms of prestige. He quantifies the viewership ratings and search rates on online search engines during this period. These are the coldest, most raw data that cannot be changed by personal will, and they are actually quite trustworthy.

"Just showing your face?"

"Well, it's just a cameo appearance. With 'Moment in Peking' coming out this year, it'll be hard for our kid to get any good treatment."

Chen Jingfei also had to admit one thing: Zhao Yanzi is absolutely dominant among the new generation of actresses.

The statement that it has absolute dominance in the TV drama field is absolutely no exaggeration.

Perhaps next year, she will step into the film industry. The speed of her development is very fast.

She also has great ambitions. She wants to become an international star like Zhang Ziyi.

She wants to become a female superstar.

This year's awards ceremony wasn't because Zhao Yanzi needed the award, but because the award needed Zhao Yanzi to prove its value.

It's impossible to do without "Moment in Peking" and Zhao Yanzi.

"This kid really keeps surprising me."

After watching Xiang Zuo call Li Xuan "Uncle" and leave in front of everyone, Zhang Jizhong even felt a secret sense of satisfaction.

Let those who look down on you see what "purity" really means.
Looking at his male protagonist, Yang Guo, the Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, his mindset was somewhat unbalanced at this moment, and his face did not look very good—regarding the matter of recognizing a godfather.

If he is your godfather, then what is Li Xuan to you?
Well, it's best not to think about these things too much. If you do, you might just want to laugh out loud.

But Zhang Jizhong maintained his nonchalant attitude.

"I heard that Huang Xiaoming, do you think there might be a name that surprises you at the upcoming TV drama awards ceremony?"
"Um, I think it should be Zhao Yanzi this year. As for the male actor, I'm not sure."

Huang Xiaoming then came to his senses and said...

Huang Xiaoming was named the most popular male actor in mainland China at last year's TV Awards.

The most popular period drama is "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".

They all received honors in this award.

For Huang Xiaoming, the TV Drama Awards Ceremony was his first award and recognition, and it was very prestigious. Starting from the awards ceremony, he earned the title of "Four Little Fresh Meat" and was known as one of the four little fresh meats in mainland China, along with Yin Xiaotian, Nie Yuan, and Tong Dangwei.

The days of relying on the "Three Musketeers of Beijing Film Academy" to ride on the coattails of Zhao Yanzi and Chen Kun are over.

It can be said that the Fengyun Grand Ceremony is an important milestone in Huang Xiaoming's career, thanks to the "Emperor of Han Dynasty" series.

The young emperor, Liu Che! That was a role he could be proud of.

The role of Yang Guo in the upcoming TV series "The Return of the Condor Heroes" is his second major ambition. This time, he's not aiming for the TV Drama Awards, but rather for nominations in the three major awards.

"Actor, do you think there's any possibility that Li Xuan could be involved?"

"impossible."

Huang Xiaoming instinctively said that was impossible.

He himself achieved his success because of the role of Liu Che.

Li Xuan, a junior in college, is that even possible?

"He should have no problem getting a nomination, but winning is absolutely impossible. Absolutely impossible."

Huang Xiaoming wasn't saying this to Zhang Jizhong; he was saying it to himself.
I'm convincing myself.

The awards ceremony was an honor he received last year. He remembers the feeling of standing on the podium with the spotlight shining on him.

That feeling, that you can't get rid of.

That was the feeling I pursued when I was an actor.

It is a 'name'.

That feeling was truly wonderful.

If someone you don't really respect, but who exudes a sense of superiority, were to be too close to you in your pursuit of them...

He will be very uncomfortable.

Anyone can.

He can't.

On the second day.

Li Xuan treated Liu Yifei to a meal once again. This time, there was no one else but Li Xuan, Jiang Yan, and their classmates, all gathered together.

A big cake
Half of it is used for eating, and the other half is used for throwing away.

Liu Yifei's smile is genuinely happy and radiant, not a formulaic or overly formal ladylike smile.

It was a genuine, hearty laugh, especially when the cake was thrown at Li Xuan's face. That radiant, joyful smile was one that hadn't been seen at yesterday's grand coming-of-age ceremony.

A girl's genuine smile is truly healing.
Li Xuan also smiled happily.

You look much better than yesterday.

A shirt and jeans—compared to yesterday's princess dress—the princess dress is definitely prettier.

However, considering the surroundings, Liu Yifei's face looks more natural and beautiful today.
"Thank you, Brother Li. It's so good to have met you."

At this moment, Liu Yifei looked at Li Xuan with a very gentle gaze.

That phrase, "It's so good to have met you."

"I also."

Before he could finish speaking, a piece of cake was smashed onto Li Xuan's head.

This caused a burst of laughter.

"You damn Zhu Yawen, you have no sportsmanship! You actually dodged it!"

"I didn't know the boss was behind me."

"You guys..."

Li Xuan also joined the fray. A small portion of the huge cake was used for playful tossing around... Of course, most of it wasn't wasted.

"You boys are so childish." Jiang Yan was speechless as she watched the boys throwing cake around. When her head was covered in cream, she joined in the fray without hesitation.

Liu Yifei was laughing heartily beside her.

This is what my eighteenth year was like.

Although at the beginning, it became a stage for adults to pursue fame and fortune.

But today
I'm so happy.

I wish I could freeze time at this moment.

I really want to.

Of course, time cannot stand still, and the farce of the birthday party will eventually end. Someone has to clean up the mess after the cake party—otherwise, when the professor comes tomorrow, he will inevitably be furious for doing something like this in the classroom!
Don't do it again next time.

Yes, you'll do it again next time!

Finally, after tidying up, only Liu Yifei and Li Xuan remained in the classroom.

The two just looked at each other like that.
Li Xuan sensed their reluctance.
"Are you worried that after this one, there won't be any more?"

"Yes, eighteen years old, it only happens once in a lifetime," Liu Yifei said softly. "Every minute spent with everyone is one minute less."

This time, playing the female lead in "Chinese Paladin" and preparing to play Xiaolongnu in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" also means one thing: she is gradually moving further and further away from the place called school.

The days of campus life are gradually fading away for her.

It's gradually becoming blurry.

Gradually, it became something outside of memory.

So she opened her eyes wide, wanting to remember this scene deeply and firmly in her mind, to recall this time on campus, this youthful period.

Can not forget.

Can't forget.

"Don't worry, we're all still here. There's no need to dwell on the past; let's cover up the old memories with new ones."

At this moment, Li Xuan smiled slightly.

"As long as there are enough new memories, constantly adding to the mix, you won't feel sad about losing them."

"Will you stay by my side the whole time?"

"Ah."

At this moment, Liu Yifei was looking at Li Xuan, with a piece of cake on her shoulder.

These are all traces left behind by those goods.

At this moment, Liu Yifei smiled slyly.

"I haven't made a wish yet."

"Didn't you make a wish yesterday?"

"Then you should make two wishes for each of your two birthday parties!"

"What a scoundrel!"

"uh-huh!"

At this moment, Liu Yifei stood in front of Li Xuan, this "cake," with her hands clasped together, her eyes closed, making a wish. The warm breath of the young girl blew onto Li Xuan's chest.

There was a five-second silence.

Then Liu Yifei opened her eyes and flicked the cream from beside Li Xuan's ear with her fingertip.

Then put it in your mouth.

"What wish did you make?"

"If you say your wish, it won't work."

"Television Awards Ceremony"

"You think I have no hope?"

"Theoretically, there is hope, but the broadcast of our series is too chaotic. The ratings of various TV stations are fluctuating, and we don't know whether they should be counted. Even if they are counted together, we probably won't get any."

Wang Jing is self-aware of his own work.

The three works, "The World's Number One", "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws" and "The Eight Heroes", were broadcast in the same year.

It can be said that they have extremely high ambitions.

Actually, he still favors the number one in the world the most.

This work was also the original work to which the most resources were poured, but due to the chaos of internal management, the ratings and such could not be counted at all.

It's quite a pity.

Moreover, this work is not without flaws.

For example, the protagonists' perspectives are confused.

Furthermore, the inconsistent style and irregular arrangement of scenes and perspectives, while the highlights of the character portrayals are indeed very rich and interesting, can be considered minor flaws that outweigh the merits, but it is still far from being perfect.

If you have to say it.

The most complete work should be "The Little Fish and the Flower Without Flaws".

A clear and mature main perspective, and even more mature actors.
I'm not targeting you, Li Yapeng, but you and Gui Haiyidao are practically the same. You might be able to please a few minor viewers, but if you want to please the majority or even win an award, you're way off.

Idols shouldn't think about these trivial things; isn't it better to just focus on making money?

"It's still a bit of a pity."

Deng Yancheng also felt it was a pity. "The World's Number One" is such a good original work. It's really not worth it to have to go up and be a runner-up.

Although I have little confidence in being the best in the world.

But Wang Jing still had some confidence in Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque.

Thinking about it carefully, it's a bit of a pity.

Such a good guy as Li Xuan has been wasted.

This is what Wang Jing finds most regrettable.

If this guy were also in "Little Fish and Flower Without Flaws," my chances would be even more secure.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

of course.

Wang Jing was also slightly curious.

Will Li Xuan be nominated for this year's TV Drama Awards?

For Zhu Wushi

Getting a nomination is about enough.

Then Deng Yancheng, who was standing next to him, pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Hey Fatty Wang, haven't you been watching any popular TV dramas lately?"

"I don't have that much time to watch dramas."

"You haven't had any filming assignments lately."

"I recently went to Macau and Thailand."

Fatty Wang's eyes flickered.

A trip to Macau and Thailand.

Deng Yancheng suddenly realized why he said he had been seriously ill when he came back, saying that his body was too weak.

It turns out he was just playing a trick on himself.

"It's important to balance work and rest. Otherwise, filming every day would be so boring. Occasionally, we need to find inspiration from other places."

At this point, Fatty Wang waved his hand.

"On the other hand, I think there's still a tiny chance for Li Xuan."

Deng Yancheng then recalled.

The two works he watched were "Chinese Paladin" and "Legend of the White Snake".

Each one is better than the last.

Each mountain is higher than the other.

Maybe it really is true.
Which film crew will you be working on for this year's awards ceremony?

At this moment, Wei Ming asked Li Xuan a question that would make people jealous.

Which production team will you be representing?

From "The World's Finest" to "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Chinese Paladin," all have received nominations.

Then the problem is coming.

As someone who appears in all of these dramas, which production team does Li Xuan represent?
I am indeed a bit conflicted.

Fortunately, I won't have to worry about it anymore soon.

Wang Jing did send an invitation, but he went on behalf of the producer of "The Legendary Siblings".

The Legend of the White Snake didn't invite Li Xuan at all. Their male lead, Pan Yueming, wasn't there either; they were all on the set of Moment in Peking.

The male lead is not there.

The only one who formally invited Li Xuan was Cai Yulong from the Legend of Sword and Fairy.

This female CEO, born in the 80s, even made a personal phone call to Li Xuan, which seemed to show her sincerity, while Wei Mian didn't seem to be trying to win him over.

His eagerness for Xuan was written all over his face.

Li Xuan, of course, had no intention of refusing her.

Let's go with the cast and crew of Chinese Paladin this time.

At this moment, Li Xuan remembered the small cake that Liu Yifei ate that night.

Then I couldn't help but chuckle.

Tianqiao Theater in Beiping.

A gala themed "Chinese Drama, Chinese Creation".

Television awards hosted by Guangying Media.

authority.

A highly prestigious award.

His authority lies in the fact that most of his awards are based on data; there are no professional judges, only professional hosts and the most ruthless data analysis.

Only awards such as the Most Promising Newcomer Award require the judges to make a decision.

At this moment, Li Xuan also arrived at the scene of this grand ceremony.

I saw quite a few familiar faces.

Some of these are big shots in the industry who are just coasting along, like Han Ping and some people from the Beijing circle.

There were also familiar faces.

Zhao Yanzi, Huang Yi, Sun Li, Bai Jie, Liu Tao.

Deng Chao, Tong Dangwei, Chen Kun, and even Huang Xiaoming were there.

Theoretically speaking, Tong Dangwei, Chen Kun, and Huang Xiaoming are all among the guests. They haven't had any works released in the past two years, but because of their popularity, they are also eligible to be nominated for the Most Popular Actor award. However, without any works, even if they are nominated, they cannot win the award.

This is a rule; the works must be from recent years.

The three of them were sitting in one seat.

Somewhat detached.

It seems to represent this generation.

The male protagonists of this generation.

Chen Kun was standing at the very front.

He holds the highest and most transcendent position, while Huang Xiaoming and Tong Dangwei lag behind by half a step.

Their distinct social classes are clearly visible.

"So who do you think is most likely to win the Most Popular Actor award this time?"

At this moment, Chen Kun stood beside him and asked with a smile.

"I think it should be Hu Qu."

He is very popular.

Moreover, Chen Kun is very optimistic about this young actor's future.

That's an unparalleled advantage in appearance; they're looking for handsome men with a youthful vibe.

"Can not guess."

Tong Dangwei also shook his head at this moment.

The main reason is that he only pays attention to the dramas "Moment in Peking" and "Bright Sword".

Pan Yueming, the male lead in "Moment in Peking," is a good actor. Zhao Yanzi has an explosive ability to boost viewership, but the male lead is a bit lacking. Apart from being lovable, he doesn't seem to have any other outstanding features.

Does being cute count? If so, then this is considered a trait of the male protagonist.

As for the other one, "Bright Sword".

That's a top-tier serious drama. People usually go to places like the Magnolia Awards, Golden Eagle Awards, and Huabiao Awards for fun. Coming here is just icing on the cake. Besides, this award is more geared towards young people and focuses on things on the internet.

Most of the audience for "Bright Sword" may not even know how to use the internet.

That's why the TV drama awards ceremony only awarded second-tier prizes.

He belongs to the "young people".

But this world is not entirely made up of young people.

However, the potential of the Fengyun Grand Ceremony is enormous.

This world belongs to the young.

"I also think it's Hu Qu."

Huang Xiaoming also supported Hu Qu without hesitation.

He's more like one of our own.

They have capital, appearance, resume, and everything else.

He was more like a perfect newcomer.

Unlike that rebellious guy.

A perfect newcomer.

This photo shows someone who has walked up the mountain by their own steps.

He is the one who deserves this award.

At this moment, Chen Kun spoke.

"Your judgment has always been very accurate."

"Indeed, my judgment has always been very accurate."

At this time, Huang Xiaoming said lightly.

At this moment, Zhang Guoli and Zhang Mo also arrived.

This time, I'm playing a completely supporting role.

Stand like a minion.

None of the dramas her son filmed this year received any nominations.

But Zhang Guoli doesn't care anymore.

When numbness reaches a certain point.

Some trivial things.

It doesn't matter anymore.

"Dad, who do you think will be the best drama at this year's annual awards ceremony?"

"It should be the two major dramas, 'Moment in Peking' and 'Bright Sword'."

Zhang Guoli guessed the same thing.

Zhao Yanzi's immense appeal.

The production of "Bright Sword" is a top-tier production, with a completely different team, investment, and expectations. Compared to scripts written by younger actors, it's simply insignificant.

Both are heavyweight contenders.

Zhao Yanzi is probably the most rapidly rising newcomer in the TV drama field in recent years.

This once again fully demonstrates her ability to attract viewers.

It is undoubtedly the king of ratings dramas.

From the middle of last year to the middle of this year.

Undoubtedly number one.

"What about the male and female actors?"

"The actress should be Zhao Yanzi; the others are just there to make up the numbers. As for the actor," Zhang Mo said reluctantly, "Li Xuan should be a possibility."

feeling bad.

But Zhang Guoli was also suffering.

This is consuming its own resources.

He's the one who should be crying loudly!
However, even in defeat, a gentleman should behave like a gentleman in defeat; what kind of skill is it to whine and cry?

“I think Li Xuan has a chance. Putting aside the resources I’ve provided for him, he has a chance purely on his own.”

Its purity is frighteningly high.

Zhang Mo neither confirmed nor denied this.

All I can do is complain.

Why haven't Tong Dangwei, Huang Xiaoming, and Chen Kun filmed any TV dramas in the past two years? If they had, Li Xuan would definitely have had no chance.

Of course, there is another erhu tune that exudes youthful energy.

His chances of winning are actually higher, since the character of Li Xiaoyao was designed from head to toe to appeal to young people.

Zhang Mo didn't know where his contradiction lay.

They both hoped Li Xuan would succeed and hoped he would fail.

Damn it.

Han Ping arrived at this moment.

Most of the bigwigs in the industry who came with him were probably more concerned about what to eat for lunch.

At this moment, Han Ping quietly watched the stage being prepared.

Next to him is the producer of "To Live," a person from the Northwest circle.

"In the future, this award will definitely have the potential to be no less than the three major awards. When the Internet era truly begins, it will probably become the fourth award."

This is Han Ping's evaluation of the Fengyun Grand Ceremony.

It has already become a second-tier award after only one year. Its prestige is already at a peak that others can never catch up to in a lifetime.

This potential is absolutely unquestionable.
