Huayu Entertainment: The Birth of a Succubus Top Star

Scene from the Golden Eagle Awards ceremony.

Gu Zhiyan had just sat down when someone tugged at her from behind.

He turned his head and almost bumped into a small face.

Guan Xiaotong looked at him with a curious expression: "Brother Xiaoyan, someone said Tang Yan is pregnant. Do you know if it's true or not?"

"How would I know?" Gu Zhiyan said irritably. "Big sister, why are you getting so close? We almost came to blows just now."

If they really go head-to-head, things will get really interesting. The media will immediately set up a love triangle involving Gu Zhiyan, Guan Xiaotong, and Lu Han.

"Well, we didn't manage to argue back. Besides, even if we had, it wouldn't have been intentional."

Guan Xiaotong actually looked regretful.

Gu Zhiyan was speechless: "You really won't care about anything else just for gossip."

"That's all I'm good at," Guan Xiaotong chuckled. "You and Tang Yan are such good friends, don't you know anything about this?"

"I don't know." Gu Zhiyan shook her head decisively.

"Brother Xiaoyan, some people are saying that if Tang Yan is really pregnant, the child is most likely yours. You must know something, so tell me. I'm very tight-lipped and I definitely won't say anything." Guan Xiaotong whispered.

"Okay, come closer and I'll tell you."

Upon hearing this, Guan Xiaotong's eyes lit up, and she leaned her head forward even more.

Gu Zhiyan lowered his voice: "Let me tell you, Tang Yan is indeed pregnant, and the child is mine. Also, I have some other news for you: Liu Shishi is also pregnant, and the child is mine too."

When Guan Xiaotong heard Gu Zhiyan mention Tang Yan, her eyes widened immediately.

However, when she heard Gu Zhiyan mention Liu Shishi, she immediately felt fooled: "Brother Yan, are you kidding me?"

Liu Shishi has been married for several years and has children with Longrich. If Guan Xiaotong believes this, she's really stupid.

Gu Zhiyan: Sigh, no one believes me when I tell the truth, it's so frustrating!

It was indeed just teasing the kids; in Gu Zhiyan's eyes, Guan Xiaotong was still the "national daughter" from the TV screen.

He truly had absolutely no desire for the child.

"Are you so concerned about whether other people have children? If you like children, have one with Lu Han yourself," Gu Zhiyan continued.

"Brother Xiaoyan, I'm still young." Guan Xiaotong blushed.

Gu Zhiyan shook his head: "You're twenty-one this year, not young anymore. In the countryside, many people your age already have children who can run around."

"Brother Xiaoyan, what are you saying? I'm ignoring you."

Guan Xiaotong immediately backed down and dared not continue talking to Gu Zhiyan.

Gu Zhiyan's ears were immediately at peace, and she couldn't help but think of Lu Han.

Back then, when Lu Han was at the peak of his career, his official announcement of his relationship caused a huge sensation, crashing Weibo's servers. Everyone who saw him couldn't help but say, "Brother Lu is a real man!"

Unfortunately, it was all for naught.

At this moment, Reba arrived, and she sat next to Gu Zhiyan.

The two chatted for a short while, and then the awards ceremony began with Wu Sanshi, Guan Xiaotong, Lin Yun and others singing "Applause Rings Out".

Technical awards, such as Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction, were then presented.

After recognizing several outstanding TV dramas, the gala reached its first minor climax with the presentation of the "Audience's Favorite Actor Award."

Dilraba visibly tensed up.

Even if the company tells you in advance to prepare for the award, there are still variables until everything is settled.

"Don't be nervous, relax." Gu Zhiyan patted Reba's hand.

"Mmm." Dilraba nodded.

Hearing Xiaoyan's words, her tense mood eased a lot.

When Li Yifeng was announced as the "Most Popular Actor" award, Gu Zhiyan noticed that the expressions of the other nominated actors were quite interesting.

Some looked dejected, some were expressionless, and some wore fake smiles...

Whether a celebrity's award is rigged or not can be determined by looking at the reactions of their peers in the audience!

At this point, netizens watching the live stream began to discuss it animatedly.

"It's unbelievable that Li Yifeng's expressionless acting could win an award."

"Look at his competitors, He Bing, Zhang Jiayi, Liu Yunlong... Every one of them has acting skills that are miles ahead of his. What makes him deserving of the award?"

"What the hell is the Golden Eagle Awards doing? It's utterly ridiculous."

"Is the Golden Eagle Awards also bowing to popularity? Then why don't you give the award to Gu Zhiyan? Not only does he have more popularity than Li Yifeng, but his acting skills are also several levels better than Li Yifeng's."

"Haha, that's right. It's reasonable to award it to Gu Zhiyan. Li Yifeng? That's a joke."

"Don't even think about it. It's impossible to give it to Gu Zhiyan. He hasn't had any TV dramas airing in the past two years, only movies. This is a TV drama award."

"The Golden Eagle Awards have truly declined!"

……

After giving his acceptance speech, Li Yifeng did not leave the stage. He will announce the winner of the "Most Popular Actress" award together with Xi Mengyao as the award presenter.

"The winner of the 29th China TV Golden Eagle Award for 'Most Popular Actress' is... Dilireba for 'Pretty Li Huizhen'!"

……

When Dilraba heard her name called, she stood up with a look of surprise and gave Gu Zhiyan a big hug.

This scene instantly attracted all the cameras.

It didn't cause too much of a stir. Rumors about these two have been circulating for years, and Dilraba even seemed to be throwing herself at him.

If she didn't pull this stunt, people would feel something was off.

Gu Zhiyan patted Dilraba on the shoulder: "Go up on stage to receive your award, good luck."

Dilraba went on stage to accept the award.

The viewers watching the live stream immediately went wild.

"Just as we got a 'Water Emperor,' now we have a 'Water Queen,' huh?"

"A remake can win the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress? And Dilraba actually beat Yuan Quan, Sun Li, Yin Tao, Liu Tao... This is just too damn unbelievable."

"The Golden Eagle Awards should just be renamed the Water Eagle Awards!"

"Although I really like Dilraba, I also feel that she doesn't deserve her."

"Haha, Yan Ni's eyes widened in disbelief! She must find it incredible too!"

"Who exactly did Dilireba offend? They even held a Golden Eagle Awards just to make her the target of ridicule."

"Holy crap, that angle upstairs is really unique."

……

After Dilraba stepped off the stage with the trophy, she was no longer as excited as she had been at the beginning, because she found that the expressions of the guests on the scene were all quite intriguing.

"Don't worry too much about what others think. Getting an award is always a good thing," Gu Zhiyan said, trying to comfort Reba, who looked a little disappointed.

"Brother Xiaoyan, I...I'll listen to you."

Dilraba said that, but her expression betrayed her true feelings.

The young lady still hadn't figured it out.

Gu Zhiyan had no choice but to use her trump card: "You don't have any engagements these days, right? I'll stay and keep you company."

"Ah, no...no announcements." Dilraba said hurriedly, looking pleasantly surprised.

What announcement?

The answer is no!

What about the reactions of other people?

None of that matters!

The online ridicule?

Casual!

Reba forgot all her worries and was only happy that Xiao Yan wanted to stay with her!
