Bright Era of China Entertainment

Chapter 403 The light still belongs to her after all

Some guests at the scene looked at Chu Xuan on the stage and found that Chu Xuan was the award presenter, so they didn't think much about it.

They also knew from Ou Yangyang's words just now that the Goddess of Golden Eagle is to establish the image of a model actress of the younger generation, and Chu Xuan is definitely a model actor of the younger generation. It seems that there is nothing wrong with him presenting the award.

But there were also quite a few guests who looked thoughtful, intentionally or unintentionally glanced in Concubine Liu Yi's direction, and after a little thought, they raised the corners of their mouths with some understanding.

Liu Xiaoli from the auditorium on the second floor watched Chu Xuan come on stage as the award presenter, and smiled thoughtfully.

"Golden Eagle Goddess? Queen-themed dance? Chu Xuan as the award presenter? I see." She seemed to have figured out everything arranged by the Golden Eagle Awards Organizing Committee.

The audience present didn't think much about it, those with idols only hoped that their idols could get the Golden Eagle Goddess, and those who didn't follow the stars and just watched the excitement waited for the announcement of the awards with some anticipation.

And Xiaoru's eyes lit up when she saw that Chu Xuan was the award presenter, and said excitedly: "If Concubine Liu Yi wins this award, and Chu Xuan presents the award to Concubine Liu Yi, that would be great!"

Xiaohui nodded again and again, looking forward to it: "It's definitely a famous scene!"

Audience fans who like Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi also had the same thoughts as them, and they all watched the stage expectantly, waiting for Chu Xuan to reveal the final answer.

in front of the TV.

Xiaoyun from Shenghai saw Chu Xuan on TV and expressed her thoughts: "If Concubine Liu Yi wins the award, Chu Xuan will present the award to Concubine Liu Yi..."

She whispered to herself, although the words did not finish, but the more she thought about it, the more excited she became.

The same is true for Xiaoxi in Beijing. She said to herself with a sense of anticipation: "Concubine Liu Yi must win the award. My boyfriend will give me an award. This is definitely very happy."

Inside the villa, the moment Wang Jinhua saw Chu Xuan appear on the stage, her eyes flickered and she fully understood the intention of the Golden Eagle Festival organizing committee. She smiled lightly and said, "This will be a very successful marketing campaign."

Dong Zhihua on the side understood his wife's words and nodded slightly in agreement.

Dong Zijian was still young and didn't have that high-level thinking. He just watched TV with great interest.

The scene of the award ceremony.

On the stage, Chu Xuan walked up to Li Mai and opened the script.

"This year's Golden Eagle Goddess Award, the finalists are..."

As his voice fell, the picture appeared on the big screen again.

Maybe it's curiosity, maybe it's novelty, everyone at the scene and the audience in front of the TV are watching intently.

"Qiao Family Courtyard", Jiang Qinqin.

"Hitch the Wrong Car", Yin Tao.

"The Legend of Condor Heroes", Concubine Liu Yi.

"Mom in Peking", by Zhao Wei.

Seeing this list, the audience in different areas on the second floor rejoiced, and the audience fans of the four actors couldn't help shouting their names.

"Jiang Qinqin!"

"Yin Tao!"

"Concubine Liu Yi!"

"Zhao Wei!"

I don't know if it's the reason why the name Golden Eagle Goddess is so famous, or because Ou Yangyang's narration described this award as a high-end one, or because the last award should be the reason for the recognition of the final award.

For this award, the competition among the four-way audience is fiercer than that of the best actress award.

The shouts for their respective idols kept coming and going, as if they couldn't stop.

The on-site director and team members on the second floor waved their hands repeatedly, and then the sound gradually quieted down.

Jiang Qinqin was excited again in the area where the crew of "Qiao's Courtyard" was located. To be honest, she did not expect to be shortlisted for this award.

The awards selected from more than 1700 million sample papers properly represent the nationality of an actor.

If she can also win this award, then she will be the winner of the Best Actress and Golden Eagle Goddess awards. Can this influence take off?

Just when she was excited, director Hu Mei broke the cold water: "Don't think about it, among the awards of Golden Eagle, Magnolia and Feitian, it is impossible for one person to win two awards."

Jiang Qinqin was taken aback for a moment, the excitement dissipated in an instant, and then she smiled wryly and shook her head. She was too excited and forgot the long-standing award rules.

Among most professional awards at home and abroad, a film and television drama can win multiple team awards, such as film and television drama awards, visual effects awards, soundtrack awards, editing awards, production awards, etc.

However, individual awards are different. An actor can only win one individual award in an awards ceremony.

I don't know when this rule started, but it has been like this for decades.

Those private awards ceremonies are not counted. The kind of private film and television festivals without official support are basically how capitals like to play.

Zhao Wei is also aware of the rules in the area where the crew of "Moment in Peking" is located, and she doesn't have any hope of getting the Golden Eagle Goddess.

The best actress was not shortlisted, but the Golden Eagle Goddess.

She knew very well that she was the cannon fodder who ran with her.

Jiang Qinqin has already won the Best Actress Award, so there is absolutely no hope for the Golden Eagle Goddess.

Here, Zhao Wei turned to the left to see Yin Tao who was not far away, and turned his head to the right to see Concubine Liu Yi who was not far away. The Golden Eagle Goddess should be born between the two.

Yin Tao and Zhao Wei had the same idea in the area where the crew of "Hitch the Wrong Car" was located. This award should have been created between her and Concubine Liu Yi.

According to Director Ou Yangyang, this award is entirely based on popularity.

Regarding this point, she didn't think she could compare to Concubine Liu Yi in terms of popularity.

But there are no absolutes in the world, what if?
In this regard, Yin Tao still has expectations.

The scene on the screen was still playing, and everyone at the scene was watching.

But they were watching the video, while Concubine Liu Yi was watching Chu Xuan.

Concubine Liu Yi kept staring at Chu Xuan, but Chu Xuan just didn't look at her.

Seeing Chu Xuan's state, Concubine Liu Yi smiled. The smile was beautiful, but it gave off a dangerous signal.

When she saw that Chu Xuan was an award presenter, when she saw that the crown she used to practice dancing was one of the prizes.

Even if there was a lesson from the past that her expectations were shattered, at that moment she was a little clear that the Golden Eagle Goddess was hers.

And when she saw that she was successfully shortlisted, she became more clear about this idea.

Moreover, the award presenters can get the script in advance, which means that the award presenter knows the answer to the award in advance.

Obviously, Chu Xuan already knew about the Golden Eagle Goddess, and Chu Xuan also knew who the winner of the Golden Eagle Goddess was.

If Chu Xuan wanted to present awards to others, then Chu Xuan would definitely tell her about it in advance as a joke.

But Chu Xuan wanted to hide it from her, and just now he found an excuse to go to the bathroom to prepare for the award presentation.

There is only one reason why Chu Xuan did this.

That is, she is the winner of the Golden Eagle Goddess!
Thinking of this, Concubine Liu Yi was a little angry.

Having lost the Best Actress before, she was very depressed. If Chu Xuan had told her about it in advance, how could she still be in such a mood?

"It's a big lie, it's too bad." Concubine Liu Yi gritted her teeth and murmured, her tone of voice seemed to be accusatory, but her eyes full of love towards Chu Xuan betrayed her excitement.

Said to be angry, in fact, it was just a flash.

She knew that Chu Xuan did this to surprise her.

From the loss before, to now it is almost clear that I am happy to win the award. My mood can be described as ups and downs, just like riding a roller coaster.

Surprise, she felt it.

Not only was it a surprise, but she also felt an excitement called love.

Her favorite boyfriend is going to give her an award. This is something she never imagined, but it is happening now.

She also understood now, no wonder the organizing committee wanted to arrange a dance with the theme of the Queen. It turned out that everything was being prepared for the Golden Eagle Goddess Award.

"The winner of this year's Golden Eagle Goddess Award is..." After the TV clip was played, Chu Xuan prepared to announce the answer according to the script.

"Congratulations, Concubine Liu Yi." Chu Xuan revealed the answer.

The scene was silent for a moment, and then there was a burst of applause.

"Yeah! It's great!" Xiao Ru happily jumped up from her seat.

"Chu Xuan is going to present an award to Concubine Liu Yi..." Xiaohui was full of enthusiasm, thinking that Chu Xuan was going to present an award to Concubine Liu Yi, he felt as sweet as eating honey.

Audience fans who liked Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi were also very excited. As the answer was revealed, their cheers gradually rose.

"Concubine Liu Yi!"

"Concubine Liu Yi!!"

"Golden Eagle Goddess!!!"

"..."

Xiaoyun from Shenghai slapped the sofa wildly, her joy was beyond words: "Chu Xuan is going to present an award to Concubine Liu Yi, what kind of way is this unfolding! It's too sweet!"

Xiaoxi from the capital was full of smiles, clapped her hands together and put her hands together in front of her chest as a blessing gesture: "Goddess! That's great! The Golden Eagle Goddess can only get it once in a lifetime, so Chu Xuan will present this award to Concubine Liu Yi on this stage." It will be a famous scene of the century that they will never have again in their lifetime!!"

Inside the villa, Wang Jinhua watched TV with a smile on her face: "Golden Eagle Festival can play, let Sissy lose the best actress award first, and then arrange for Sissy a golden eagle goddess who seems to be infinitely radiant, which makes the audience's mood soar. Shen together, mobilized the audience's emotions, and the audience will pay more attention to and value the Golden Eagle Goddess Award."

Dong Zhihua nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Wang Jinhua also picked up the teacup from the coffee table and said, "The Golden Eagle Festival is taking advantage of Sissi's popularity to boost the reputation of the Golden Eagle Goddess Award and make it attract the attention of the people of the whole country, thereby driving the overall attention of the Golden Eagle Festival."

"In addition to the addition of Xiaoxuan as the guest of honor, because Xiaoxuan and Sissy can be called the particularity of the national couple at present, such two irreplaceable existences, the attention of this Golden Eagle Festival is destined to become Biggest winner of any award organizer this year."

"That's why I just said that this is a successful marketing campaign, and it can even be said to be a perfect marketing plan."

Dong Zhihua put down his teacup and said: "Although the organizing committee is marketing Xiaoxuan and Qianqian, I think Xiaoxuan and Qianxi are the biggest winners in terms of the Golden Eagle Festival's profits. A Shidi, a goddess, and a national couple , With the uniqueness of such a combination of actors, Xiaoxuan and Sissy's careers will go to a higher level, and they will go one step further in the ranks of super-first-line actors."

"Of course." Wang Jinhua nodded slightly: "Xiaoxuan has this Shidi, and Sissy has this goddess. In order to expand the influence of the Golden Eagle Festival, Mango Channel will definitely give them free publicity, which will also let their The popularity has once again expanded to a certain extent, there are many commercials in "I Am an Actor" that Xiaoxuan and Sissy will broadcast, and I will double the sponsorship fee in the next stage."

Dong Zhihua said in disdain: "Those sponsors are probably afraid of you when they see you."

The couple chatted for a few words and turned their attention to the TV again.

Awards ceremony scene.

Concubine Liu Yi raised her skirt and walked towards the stage amidst congratulations.

On the stage, Chu Xuan and He Jiong looked at each other with smiles in the corners of their eyes.

As early as Concubine Liu Yi was still rehearsing her dance, He Jiong told him everything about the Golden Eagle Goddess.

Since then, he has known that due to the unspoken rules of professional and authoritative awards ceremony, Concubine Liu Yi missed the best actress award.

But it doesn't matter, there will be plenty of opportunities for actor awards in the future.

Not only Golden Eagle, but Magnolia and Fei Tian also have actor awards, he and Concubine Liu Yi have a lot of opportunities in the future.

What will happen after the Golden Eagle Festival has nothing to do with him and Concubine Liu Yi.

But in the current era when the Golden Eagle Festival still pays attention to fairness and professionalism, the Golden Eagle Goddess Award is more important and meaningful than the actor award.

Under such circumstances, Concubine Liu Yi was able to win the first Golden Eagle Goddess, which he considered to be a very important honor.

He Jiong, on behalf of the organizing committee, invited him to be Concubine Liu's award presenter. He also knew very well that the organizing committee wanted to use the popularity of the two of them to maximize their popularity due to the special combination of him and Concubine Liu Yi. The purpose of marketing the Golden Eagle Goddess and even the entire Golden Eagle Festival to expand the influence of the Golden Eagle Festival.

And his idea is very simple, on the stage where Concubine Liu Yi can only get this honor in her life, as Concubine Liu Yi's boyfriend, being able to personally present awards to Concubine Liu Yi and wear the crown for her personally will be something they will never forget in their entire lives. Great memories to remember.

The goals of the two parties were not on the same channel, but Chu Xuan happily agreed with his good thoughts.

However, he has been hiding it from Concubine Liu Yi, and now Concubine Liu Yi must have figured everything out.

When Concubine Liu Yi stepped onto the stage and looked at him with a full face, Chu Xuan was the same as before, as if he had done something wrong and did not dare to look at Concubine Liu Yi.

Seeing this scene, He Jiong slightly lowered his head and suppressed a smile.

Seeing this situation, the guests on the first floor watched with great interest.

The audience on the second floor and the audience in front of the TV have not yet started the award presentation, but seeing these two people in the same frame on the stage, they can already feel that the sweetness is gradually increasing.

Liu Xiaoli looked relieved and kind. Because of her special status, she was able to bring the camera in. Right now, she is picking up the camera and adjusting the focus, ready to shoot famous scenes for the two children at any time.

At this time, Concubine Liu Yi had come to Li Mai beside Chu Xuan, looking at Chu Xuan with a smile.

Chu Xuan glanced at her softly, without saying a word, took out the trophy and certificate from the tray in the hands of Miss Etiquette, and handed them to Concubine Liu Yi.

Concubine Liu Yi didn't pick up at the first time, but she bowed slightly to Chu Xuan in a dignified way to express her gratitude.

"Hahaha, it's so fun." Yang Rui couldn't hold back and laughed.

If Concubine Liu Yi bows to others, it is normal, every actor will do this when receiving an award, to express their gratitude to the award presenter.

But Concubine Liu Yi bowed to Chu Xuan, this scene seemed very interesting to her.

Xiaoyun from Shenghai also found it very interesting, so she hurriedly picked up the mobile phone to call up the shooting function, and rushed to the TV to shoot.

Xiaoxi in Beijing also took out her mobile phone and happily took pictures of the TV screen.

The audience fans on the second floor watched excitedly, and Xiaoru hurriedly said: "This is the first famous scene!"

on the stage.

Chu Xuan couldn't help laughing, seeing the sly look in Concubine Liu Yi's eyes, he knew that she did it on purpose.

After Concubine Liu Yi received the trophy and certificate, Chu Xuan picked up the final prize, a crown, and prepared to put it on Concubine Liu Yi.

Unexpectedly, He Jiong interjected at the right time: "Chu Xuan, how do you feel at this moment?"

Chu Xuan was startled, the winner is Concubine Liu Yi, why don't you ask her questions to ask me?
Chu Xuan couldn't laugh or cry, He Jiong obviously did it on purpose.

But this question also aroused the interest of the audience and the audience in front of the TV, with more or less smiles on their faces.

Concubine Liu Yi looked at him charmingly, waiting for his answer.

Chu Xuan turned his head to the microphone, without hesitation: "I am honored to be able to personally wear this crown for Concubine Liu Yi on the stage of honor that is only once in her life."

Concubine Liu Yi looked at him affectionately. Chu Xuan's words gave her an extra feeling. Apart from the surprise and excitement she had just had, she felt it was very romantic.

"It's so romantic!" Xiao Ru covered her mouth, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and the sweetness she felt from Chu Xuan's words rose rapidly.

Yes, at a moment of glory that a girl is destined to only have once in a lifetime, having a boyfriend who loves you personally crowning you on the throne will be the ultimate romantic moment.

For some reason, Xiao Ru couldn't restrain the emotions in her heart all of a sudden, she shed tears.

The same is true of many female audience fans. Sweetness, touch and other emotions are mixed in their hearts, allowing them to witness a beautiful moment. At the same time, Chu Xuan's words also gave them a new definition of the word "romantic".

Romance often only appears in everyday life.

But Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei told them that there is also romance in career struggle, and it is more extreme.

At this time, on the stage.

Concubine Liu Yi bent slightly again under the attention of the audience watching TV all over the country, and Chu Xuan put the golden crown on Concubine Liu Yi's head with both hands.

"Today you are the queen." Chu Xuan whispered.

Concubine Liu Yi replied in a pretty voice: "I will be the same in the future."

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi smiled at each other, with encouragement, encouragement and love in their eyes.

Seeing the crown that Chu Xuan personally put on Concubine Liu Yi, the audience was extremely excited.

"Concubine Liu Yi!"

"Concubine Liu Yi!!"

"Golden Eagle Goddess!!!"

"..."

When Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei turned their sides to Limai and the audience, the audience's voices gradually dissipated.

According to the procedure of the script, Chu Xuan entered the interview session.

"Concubine Liu Yi, won the Golden Eagle Goddess Award, how do you feel as the first Golden Eagle Goddess?" he asked.

It was the first time that she was interviewed by her boyfriend, and it was also a very novel thing, so Concubine Liu Yi didn't know how to answer for a while.

The audience watched happily, this scene was really too interesting.

Concubine Liu Yi thought for a while, and said, "Someone lied to me, so I had no idea that I would win this award, so now I am very happy, very excited, and very surprised."

Someone lied to me? ...The audience at the scene and in front of the TV were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Chu Xuan with great interest. Who else could be the one who lied to Concubine Liu Yi besides Chu Xuan?These two are so interesting.

Chu Xuan didn't expect Concubine Liu Yi to point him out publicly on the stage, and there was a sense of confrontation between the two sides in the sweetness.

Chu Xuan looked at the script and continued to ask the next question.

But what he didn't expect was that Concubine Liu Yi turned against the guest: "I have won the Golden Eagle Goddess, how do you feel?"

The people present were stunned for a moment, and then burst into silent laughter.

What is this operation?
Can the recipient of the award ask questions?
Concubine Liu Yi doesn't play by the rules.

But seeing that the other party was Chu Xuan, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with asking this question.

Inside the villa, Wang Jinhua clapped her hands and said happily, "These two are really fun."

On the stage, Chu Xuan was dumbfounded.

Concubine Liu Yi's move caught him off guard. Is this the price he has to pay for concealing her?

Chu Xuan shook his head helplessly in his heart, and said directly: Demon girl!

Concubine Liu Yi blinked at him, motioning for him to answer quickly.

Chu Xuan thought about it for a while, and said, "There are also disappointments and joys."

"I won the award, why are you disappointed?" Concubine Liu Yi was slightly surprised.

Chu Xuan glanced at her, opened his mouth, and paused for a while before saying, "I'm interviewing you."

There was a "puff" sound from every corner of the scene, and Liu Xiaoli, who was sitting in the auditorium, covered her mouth and looked overjoyed with many audience members.

He Jiong lowered his head and smiled slightly beside Chu Xuan. These two people are so interesting.

Concubine Liu Yi said "Oh" and nodded, "Go ahead and do the interview."

Chu Xuan had dark hair, seeing Concubine Liu Yi's eyes full of jokes, he felt that he had failed as an award presenter for the first time, and that he had met someone who he couldn't handle but was picked up instead.

But facing Concubine Liu Yi's question, he still replied: "The loss is because, why is there only the Golden Eagle Goddess and no Golden Eagle male god?"

After getting this answer, Concubine Liu Yi and the audience at the scene were a little happy.

He Jiong looked at a leader in the audience: "Leader, why don't you answer this question?"

The leader smiled, waved his hand and said, "I will consider it."

After a brief interview, Concubine Liu Yi delivered her acceptance speech, and the award process was over.

This also means that this Golden Eagle Festival is coming to an end.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi walked down the stage side by side. The steps were a bit steep. It was inconvenient for Concubine Liu Yi to wear skirts and high heels. down.

The audience felt like eating dog food again after seeing this scene.

Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi had just walked a few steps, and before the two of them had time to speak, a staff member rushed over: "Concubine Liu Yi, I'm going backstage to get ready, and put this crown on."

Concubine Liu Yi nodded, and handed the prize to Chu Xuan: "I'll go first."

"Go." Chu Xuan took the trophy and certificate.

Watching Concubine Liu Yi and the staff disappear behind the door leading to the back stage, Chu Xuan walked towards his seat with a hand.

"It was a large-scale "dog killing" scene just now." Yang Rui made a summary jokingly.

"Chu Xuan, it's very meaningful to present this award to Sissi as an award presenter, and it will be worth remembering in the future." Meng Guangmei was somewhat envious of Chu Xuan and Concubine Liu Yi being able to have such a scene.

"This situation will be unforgettable for a lifetime." Wang Luoyong said.

Chu Xuan smiled, accepted the kindness from all parties, and sat down on the sofa.

According to He Jiong's procedure, there are three performances in the closing stage.

When the first singing performance and the second opera performance were over, there was a "wow-" at the scene, and Concubine Liu Yi appeared on the stage wearing a crown, shining golden dress and fifty female dancers.

"It's so beautiful!"

"Beautiful!"

"A goddess is a goddess, worthy of the name!"

Whether it's the audience in front of the TV or the audience fans on the second floor, seeing Concubine Liu Yi's makeup, they all feel amazing.

When Concubine Liu Yi stepped onto the high circular prop seat in the center of the stage, her temperament and condescending state, a sense of ultimate dignity arose spontaneously in their hearts.

The soft but passionate soundtrack sounded, Concubine Liu Yi began to dance, and fifty backup dancers followed her dancing, as if the queen was giving orders.

Concubine Liu Yi's body movements are very slow, seemingly gentle, but combined with her light smile but solemn expression, every movement of her is full of majesty.

She kept dancing, looking down at the backup dancers off stage, and then down on the audience under the stage.

In a moment, she has long since lost the embarrassment she imagined before. With the blessing of the Golden Eagle Goddess, she has a sense of accomplishment. With Chu Xuan personally crowning her and Chu Xuan's encouragement to her in the past, she feels that she is now Queen.

In the capital, in the villa, Wang Jinhua was admiring Concubine Liu Yi's dance, looking at the high-profile dancing posture, and seeing the solemn expression, as if she saw Concubine Liu Yi and Chu Xuan's state of operating entertainment industry resources in the future.

It smells like a lady boss.

Wang Jinhua thought jokingly in her heart, and said again: "Such a big stage, such a gorgeous makeup, this is the highlight moment arranged for Sissi by the Golden Eagle Festival, and the audience will definitely remember it fresh."

As she spoke, she shook her head again: "With such an arrangement, and Xiaoxuan's blessing, one thing is doomed. The Golden Eagle Goddess Association will not be as good as the next one. It depends on whether the organizing committee can control it in the future."

Dong Zhihua said: "Unless the future Golden Eagle Goddess also has a super popular boyfriend to give her an award."

Wang Jinhua smiled: "Then you think too much, the experience of Xiaoxuan and Qianxi is too special, which makes the audience support their relationship, and their route cannot be copied. If other female stars or male stars open their relationship , it will most likely collapse the house.”

After chatting for a few words, the couple watched the TV.

Awards ceremony scene.

With a piece of golden light falling, under the exclamation of the audience.

Concubine Liu Yi's golden dress was clearly not too big or too small, but it was not fully unfolded by fifty female dancers.

It's hard to imagine that a normal-looking skirt, like a golden silk umbrella, stretches five or six meters wide in a circle after being unfolded.

"Wow—" The audience was completely amazed.

Fifty female dancers stopped after taking their positions, holding the corners of their skirts with both hands, and holding up the oversized skirts. The 50 dancers presented a circular posture facing the audience, surrounding Concubine Liu Yi.

The skirt covered the base on which Concubine Liu Yi was standing, and for a moment it looked as if Concubine Liu Yi was floating in mid-air.

Under the golden light, Concubine Liu Yi stretched her hands and raised her head slightly, as if she was embracing the sun. This is also the movement of the statuette of the Golden Eagle Goddess Trophy.

Fifty female dancers followed the ending rhythm of the music. Although they held the corners of their skirts with their hands, they also showed the gesture of raising their hands to embrace the sun.

Fifty female dancers are in the low position, and Concubine Liu Yi is in the high position.

This shocking scene made Concubine Liu Yi in the center look like a queen.

This year Concubine Liu Yi's Golden Eagle Goddess is destined to be remembered for a long time.

Chu Xuan, who was sitting under the stage, saw Concubine Liu Yi as if she was being hit by the sun, and he looked at it tenderly and with extreme admiration.

No matter how dazzling the light is, it still belongs to her after all.
