My wife is in my arms

Chapter 1247 Award Ceremony (Part 9)

Leaning back on the sofa.

Singer Liu Fei was also quite helpless about Xu Di. This woman was unbearable not only for men, but sometimes even for women. She had also appeared on "The Brave Are Coming," a show that had been airing for over a decade.

At the time, she had just established herself in the music industry. Her manager saw that the show was very popular and would help boost her popularity, so she went on it. Then this woman not only kissed her, but also reached out and touched her... her breasts.

Even if she has a calm and collected personality, she can't resist a woman like this.

Later, the woman even said that she would raise her children naturally in the future. This was clearly a compliment, but it left her speechless, both amused and exasperated.

Thinking about it now... Liu Fei isn't quite sure either.

One wouldn't be a problem, but two would be different. Anyway, let's try! She's been consuming some highly nutritious foods lately.

The sun has already risen outside the window. It's 8 or 9 pm in China, but it's 8 or 9 am here, a time difference of about 12 hours.

It's only because communication is so convenient now that things are different. In previous years, even watching a replay would have taken a lot of effort. Now, we can watch domestic award ceremonies live instantly.

However, thanks to the development of communication technology, people's thinking has become more enlightened in recent years. Many people no longer simply accept whatever others say, but instead explore the underlying issues behind things.

The Golden City Awards are still ongoing.

Next up was the Best New Actor award. When Xiao Yong announced the winner's name and work, not only was Liu Fei stunned for a moment, but even the guests in the audience were taken aback.

"The Best New Actor award goes to Zhang You. Congratulations, Mr. Zhang You..."

talking.

Xiao Yong turned to Xu Di beside him and said, "Don't you feel there's something strange about how this award was given out?"

I hadn't noticed until you pointed it out.

Xu Di laughed and said, "I almost forgot that Zhang You is still a newcomer."

Upon hearing that Zhang You had won the Best New Actor award for his directorial work, "Ta Ya," Han Wei couldn't help but laugh. This guy's achievements were so great, coupled with his numerous accolades and rapid rise in popularity, that many people had forgotten he was actually a newcomer actor.

"Zhang You, you've just stepped off the stage and are back on it again. What would you most like to say to my senior?"

Xu Di joked.

"Give it to me."

Zhang You took the trophy from Xu Di's hand and said with a smile, "To be honest, this award was quite unexpected. I almost forgot I'm still a newcomer. Thanks to the judges for reminding me that I'm still completely new this year."

"Zhang You, that's a bit rude! A newcomer like you needs to listen to the guidance of your seniors. I'll give you a good talking-to after the awards ceremony."

Xu Di laughed and said, "And... don't you feel ashamed to say yours is brand new! You already have three kids. If yours is new, then what are we, just young girls?!"

"Aren't you one?!"

Zhang You countered, "In my heart, you've always been a young woman in her forties."

"Don't add the age, just the rest is fine."

Xu Di replied with a smile.

Noticing Xiao Yong giving her a look, Xu Di stopped teasing Zhang You, because each award at the ceremony had a time limit, and if they kept talking, the next award would not be able to be presented.

"Congratulations"

After Zhang You sat down, Li Zhixiu smiled and offered her congratulations. She had intended to hug him as a celebration after he stood up, but the tycoon had grabbed her hand, making it clear he wasn't interested in her. Since that was the case, Li Zhixiu decisively abandoned using her body as leverage and decided to try other methods.

Anyway, she really wanted to work with this person once.

The failure of her previous film made her desperately need a movie to salvage her fortunes, and in today's film industry, starring in a script written by this person is undoubtedly the most secure option.

Both box office success and critical acclaim are evident in the success of Shen Jiaming and Jin Kai.

Both of them had played minor supporting roles in her movies before, and frankly, she didn't need to give them a second glance. But things are different now.

The two have become famous overnight by starring in the script written by this person.

If the movies they star in can maintain high ratings, then they'll have the box office appeal, and then... who knows, their salaries might even exceed hers.

Besides Zhang You, who was a temporary guest performer, the awards ceremony also invited other guest performers. The singer on stage was a professional female singer whom Zhang You recognized. It turned out to be Zhang Xiyu, and the song she was singing was "Hollow Heart Forget Love," which Zhang You wrote for "Ta Ya."

This woman has been acting a bit excessively lately.

He served as a mentor in the second season of "The Voice of China".

She held two concerts in November and three in December, and she hasn't stopped doing commercial performances. And at the beginning of this year, her tour has already been finalized, it seems to be eighteen or twenty shows.

Ridiculously strong.

Lin Bao'er was overjoyed by her hard work. She heard that they were planning to revise her profit-sharing agreement by the end of the year, probably because they were afraid Zhang Xiyu would run away.

But it's not easy to run away if you really want to.

The termination fee is only one aspect; the main issue is the song copyright.

As long as the company doesn't budge on this front, Zhang Xiyu is helpless. The reason she signed with EE-Media was because they helped her negotiate the copyright of her songs with her original company; otherwise, she would definitely have opened her own studio.

Aside from Zhang Xiyu, even his wife wouldn't be able to sing his old songs if she left the company, unless the company allowed her to. Only Zhang You is smart enough to keep the copyrights of all the songs he created firmly in his hands.

Even the song Zhang Xiyu is currently singing is no exception.

After Zhang Xiyu finishes singing, the most prestigious award, Best Actor, will be given out.

"Jinkley from The Truman Show"

As soon as Xiao Yong finished speaking, Jin Kai, dressed in a suit, stood up excitedly from his chair. He first hugged the director next to him, and when he walked to the second row, he hugged Zhang You when he stood up to congratulate him, and then solemnly said "thank you".

You deserve it.

Zhang You reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Stepping onto the stage, Jin Kai gripped the trophy tightly in Xiao Yong's hand. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Tonight, standing here... I think everyone should thank the director, screenwriter Zhang You, and the jury, but I'm most grateful to myself. Because I believed in myself and accomplished what many said I couldn't. Along the way, many advised me to change careers because my looks aren't outstanding among the handsome men in the entertainment industry, and I'm getting older. Sometimes I'm even afraid to reveal my age. I entered this industry at twenty, and it's been twenty years now, yet I haven't achieved anything. Many people haven't even heard of me. Under these circumstances, changing careers seemed like the best option, but I didn't give up. I felt I could still do it, and so... I really did it."

In an instant, thunderous applause erupted.

Many people stood up, and Zhang You also stood up to applaud Jin Kai.

No matter what others think.

Zhang You felt that Jin Kai was right.

So-called opportunities and the help of benefactors all have one prerequisite: that you do not give up on yourself.
