Chapter 44 A Little Tempted
Although I don’t understand why, because I have returned to the award ceremony and it is not suitable to have a private conversation, Lin Xingyuan still sat upright, faced the stage, silently followed everyone to applaud, waiting for the announcement of one award after another.
As the prize weight increased, the atmosphere in the audience naturally gradually soared to the highest level.
Soon, the second of the two most important awards in the entire award ceremony, namely the most popular actors and actresses, will be given an answer soon.
There were already whispers in the guest seat, and everyone was talking about it, guessing who the flowers were falling. Of course, the most popular among them was naturally Tang Yi. Compared with the fierce fighting between male actors, the actresses are the only ones, and there is basically no suspense. The other four candidate actresses are either low-qualified or not famous enough, and it is impossible to make a fuss.
The most important thing is that the investor behind the Huaying Festival is Wei Ran.
In the past few years, there has been a lot of gossip about Wei Ran and Tang Yi, but they have never responded positively. In addition, the paparazzi have never taken photos of them together, and there seems to be no evidence to fully prove their relationship.
Having said that, some people who know the inside story are not ignorant, so everyone knows that Tang Yi will definitely win the grand prize tonight.
However, she won so many actresses, not many of them, and not many of them. Everyone was actually a little puzzled about her attending the Chinese Film Festival. After all, this is just a fashionable award in China, and it is incomparable to those old award ceremony.
Rong Tian didn't know anyone anyway, so she clapped and smiled as she watched the fun, just waiting to see the appearance of Chong Tiange.
Finally, the words "Most Popular Actress" came from the big screen, and the vigorous and intense music sounded.
The award presenter was Chong Tiange. Logically speaking, it should be a man and a woman. However, he refused the organizer's kindness and did not go on stage with a certain actress, but walked out from behind alone.
Rong Tian was sweating, staring at his legs without blinking, for fear that Chong Tiange would accidentally have any accidents while walking.
Realizing her nervousness, Lin Xingyuan turned slightly and comforted her softly: "It's okay, he won't have anything to do. He should be able to walk slowly."
"Um."
She could only think so, responded softly, and nodded slowly.
As Lin Xingyuan said, Chong Tiange walked a little slowly.
However, in this kind of occasion, the award presenter walks slower and speaks slower, which can increase suspense, making the guests present more curious about who will eventually win.
Rong Tian stared at Chong Tiange, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he finally walked to the microphone safely.
Only then did she realize that her palms were actually sweaty.
Yes, deep down, she still cared about him, although she refused to admit it.
Chong Tiange stood in front of the wheat rack, and did not rush to speak, but looked around the audience with a smile. He knew that his appearance tonight was very important because this was the first time he appeared in public after Tian Chong Group encountered this major crisis.
Before this, there were already many rumors that were not conducive to the Tianpeng Group. In addition, Tianpeng disappeared from the public eye many days, and some people even fabricated rumors in private that he had fled abroad with huge sums of money.
Regarding these false news, I believe that the appearance of Chong Tiange tonight is enough to explain everything.
"Thank you for inviting me to draw the prize, and thank you for your patience to listen to me here. Originally, I prepared a lot of words, but when I thought about it, you must be like me, and you can't wait to appreciate the beauty. Too much nonsense will definitely cause annoying. So, let's look at the big screen together."
Chong Tiange's jokes attracted everyone's laughter, and everyone clapped and looked at the candidate on the screen.
After the five short films were played, Chong Tiange picked up the red envelope in his hand and prepared to announce the list of winners.
In the eyes of everyone, he opened the envelope and saw the name on it.
"It's an old friend of mine, let's congratulate Miss Tang Yi."
There is almost no suspense, and the winner was the actress Tang Yi.
In less than ten months since last year, she has released three movies in total, with the total box office of three movies reaching 2 billion yuan, and each department is well received and popular. She herself won the championship of four best actresses with the wonderful performances of the three heroines in these three movies.
It can be said that it would be strange if she hadn't won the award tonight.
Not to mention, the organizer tried his best to invite her. If Tang Yi returned empty-handed, it would be too offensive.
Amid the congratulations and applause from everyone, Tang Yi, wearing a golden long-tail dress, slowly walked onto the stage, took the trophy from Chong Tiange, and then stood in front of the wheat rack.
"I have said a lot of thanks, but I still want to thank you again tonight. Thank you to every filmmaker who has put his own efforts and youth into Chinese films, thank you to every colleague who has worked with, thank you to my company, thank you to my family and friends, and thank you to myself. Thank you everyone, I love you!"
Tang Yi has experienced this kind of scene many times. She has long been used to it and is familiar with it easily and will not make any mistakes at all.
"Congratulations to Miss Tang, please stay, please stay."
Seeing Tang Yi finishing her award speech, she was about to walk off the stage with her skirt in her arms. Chong Tiange, who had been smiling, suddenly spoke up and tried to keep her.
Tang Yi was stunned, but immediately smiled and stopped.
Although she didn't know what Chong Tiange was going to do, under countless shots, she still maintained her usual elegance without any panic.
"I know, all my friends are very interested in Miss Tang's personal life. Is this true?"
Chong Tiange changed his subject and suddenly stopped following the routine and shifted the topic to gossip.
Not only that, he also took off the microphone and held it at the guests, asking the guests in the front row to answer loudly.
When they saw that there seemed to be a good show to be staged, everyone who was already a little tired suddenly became excited and shouted: "Yes!"
Chong Tiange took back the microphone and looked at Tang Yi.
It was obvious that Tang Yi was also a little inadequate to the sudden mention of this question. He did not answer immediately for a while. He just stood there and tried hard to keep a smile. There was a hint of embarrassment in his smile.
Even Rong Tian, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but wonder: What is Chong Tiange doing? He is just a award presentation. The award has been awarded and it's enough to come down. Why bother embarrassing others in public?
You should know that female artists in the entertainment industry rarely proactively announce their relationship unless their partner is also an artist. The two can take the opportunity to moderately hype through love and bind them to market together. In addition, many female artists who choose to combine with outsiders are very low-key and try to expose as little as possible to maintain an already difficult love and marriage.
"This is...a bit strange. Did he tell you?"
Lin Xingyuan was also a little confused and couldn't help asking Rong Tian next to him.
"I have no idea."
To be honest, Rong Tian was also a little nervous. She even felt that Chong Tiange and this Tang Yi were very good. In addition, when she just searched for Tang Yi, she also saw that she seemed to be very close to Chong Tiange a few years ago, and was once considered his real girlfriend. This made Rong Tian feel a little uncomfortable, as if there was a thorn, and it was always stuck.
"Don't think about it all, he is not the kind of person who can do it randomly. Wait, maybe there is something good about it."
Seeing her uneasiness, Lin Xingyuan frowned slightly and said softly.
Rong Tian nodded and felt relieved. Yes, why did she have no confidence in herself? The man on the stage would definitely not be the kind of person who would change his mind because of a young and beautiful woman. Moreover, Tang Yi is very beautiful and she is not ugly.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt relieved.
Chong Tiange and others calmed down and said again: "Ms. Tang Yi is not only beautiful, but also has first-class acting skills, so naturally there are countless admirers. Just so happen that one of your loyal fans entrusted me to keep you before the award presentation. He wanted to sing a song in front of you, dedicated to you. I hope you can stay on stage and listen to him sing. I wonder if Miss Tang can give me a face and give this loyal fan a chance to express his love in person?"
After saying this, not only Tang Yi was stunned, but even the director on the scene was stunned. He hurriedly lowered his head and looked through the program list in his hand, wanting to confirm whether there was any such link.
The director of the live broadcast room, the dispatcher in the auditorium, the emcee in the backstage and other people were really panicked.
Tang Yi's agent, assistant and others, who were standing in the audience, were also a little anxious. I don't know whether to let her stay on the stage or to get her down immediately.
"Okay, I believe in my old friend."
After a brief hesitation, Tang Yi picked up the microphone and nodded in agreement.
Chong Tiange smiled and made a gesture into the air.
The next second, the lights in the audience instantly went out.
Everyone exclaimed.
Just when everyone was a little scared, the lights lit up from all directions little by little, not much light, very mysterious and soft, arranged in a circle, and the entire auditorium was like a small boat floating on the vast sea.
A series of whispers of amazement rang around.
The prelude came, an old song from more than 20 years ago.
Everyone quickly recognized that this song was "A little touched" - a classic chorus of men and women.
There was a moment of blankness in Tang Yi's mind.
How could she not know this song?
She rarely sings, and she doesn't sing the popular songs nowadays, just occasionally listening to some old songs on the road.
