From the moment she entered the venue, the cameras were practically glued to their faces.
It wasn't just the fans who enjoyed gossip; celebrities themselves were at the forefront of it.
The ceremony hadn't begun yet, and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Xia Weiliang sat on the sofa, the spotlight sweeping over her, then over her, then over her again...
She took a deep breath. Could the lighting director please not be so playful?
Xiao Yi sat beside her, exuding an invisible aura that formed a natural barrier. Those who had wanted to approach and greet them didn't dare. Su Dan Novel Network.
But there were those who weren't afraid of death, and not just one. They lined up opposite the two, like devotees paying homage to a bishop's wife. The leader announced, "Salute!"
The other four bowed in unison and greeted, "Brother Yi! Sister!"
Seeing these lovely youngsters from u11, Xia Weiliang happily waved to them, "Situ! Ruirui! It's you! Come over, come sit!"
The sofa she and Xiao Yi were sitting on was super large and comfortable. Squeezing all five of them in would definitely be no problem!
But these five children wouldn't dare sit there. The entertainment industry was a place with distinct hierarchical divisions. Given Xiao Yi's position in the circle, it was natural for him to sit in the premier seat. As juniors, they absolutely couldn't, or they'd be criticized!
The group repeatedly waved their hands. Ruirui smiled and said, "Sis, we didn't hear you were coming to this ceremony when we were filming!"
"Uh... I'm just a tool person, a professional fill-in."
Xiao Yi glanced at her, "Heh, why didn't I let anyone else fill in?"
In front of these children from u11, Xiao Yi had nothing to hide.
They all understood, chuckled softly, and then left.
Along the way, they received countless envious glances, especially from other group teams who envied their good relationships.
Ruirui was close to Xia Weiliang, Situ participated in the same variety show with her, and through Xia Weiliang, they had also established a connection with the film emperor...
Being in the same group, why were they so lucky?
Soon, another girl group lined up in front of Xia Weiliang and Xiao Yi, bowing in unison, "Teacher Xiao, Sister Wei~"
Xia Weiliang recognized them as the young beauties from m77.
When she participated in "Idol Sports Meet," she had met A Ning and Zi Xuan from m77. Later, she participated in "Courage" with A Ning, so their relationship was naturally close.
After A Ning greeted them, she went over and hugged Xia Weiliang affectionately, "Sis, I missed you so much!!!"
Turning back, she winked at the film emperor, "Brother Yi, we all watched your interview just now~"
Xiao Yi just smiled and said nothing.
As m77 returned to their seats, their manager's face bloomed like a flower. He looked at the managers of other girl groups, his tail practically wagging to the sky.
What was the most important thing in the entertainment industry?
It was connections!
Look at his artists' connections; who in the circle could compare?
Xi En and Xia Yiran were on the other end of the sofa. According to seniority, the front row seats were for the film emperor and the TV emperor. Seeing Xia Weiliang, who had few works, happily sitting there thanks to the film emperor's favor, Xia Yiran became extremely unsettled.
Xi En was chatting with a senior who was well-connected in the industry. In the interim, his peripheral vision caught sight of Xia Weiliang on the opposite side, eating the cakes and fruits on the table.
She didn't care if the cameras were on her, eating without any pretense.
At that moment, Xiao Yi took a tissue and wiped the juice from her face. Xia Weiliang instinctively leaned her face towards him. Although his movements were subtle, they were attentive and gentle.
Xi En discreetly withdrew his gaze, a faint smile on his lips, appearing uninterested in anything.
The ceremony soon began.
Anshi platform broadcasted the entire event live.
To be honest, Anshi was an old acquaintance. When she appeared on Guan Fei's interview program "Jin Fei Xi Bi" on Anshi, the host had invited Liu Wan Quan to trap her.
It was said that Guan Fei lost two programs because of this incident, and no one in the industry dared to cooperate with her. Now, she only appeared on a few fixed programs on her old employer Anshi, and her career was quite dismal.
After that, Anshi had also approached Xia Weiliang. Especially after Ye Shi became popular due to her two variety shows, they were extremely covetous.
However, Xia Weiliang had made it clear that she only wanted to cooperate with simpler platforms. Anshi was slapped in the face and became a laughingstock among peers.
Now that Xia Weiliang made a surprise appearance during the live broadcast, it alerted the platform's CEO, who immediately rushed to the ceremony venue.
The awards ceremony was star-studded, mainly honoring artists who had achieved success in the television and film industry over the past year. Compared to the awards at major film festivals, the focus now was more on individual annual overall performance.
Undoubtedly, Xiao Yi and Xi En once again became benchmarks in the film and television circle.
Xiao Yi's award was the finale, to be presented near the end. The ceremony lasted two to three hours. Xia Weiliang sat up straight, but her eyelids quickly became too heavy to lift.
Last night, she, Nuo Mi, and Song Yuan sat uniformly in the living room, each with a laptop, busy fighting online with anti-fans who were cursing Chu Qiao. The battle continued until dawn, and now she was extremely drowsy.
Despite the dazzling stage effects, she kept yawning.
During a brief moment when the stage lights dimmed, someone suddenly put an arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer, pressing her head onto his lap. "Sleep."
Xia Weiliang stared blankly, her eyes wide. This, this was at the event venue!
But Xiao Yi didn't seem to care at all. As if he could read her mind, he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "You're an unofficial guest, not a formal one. You don't need to abide by the rules."
That's right!
Xia Weiliang was successfully brainwashed and felt at ease.
She quietly took off her shoes, curled up on the sofa, and closed her eyes.
The performance on stage was by u11. The five members, with their backs to the stage, struck their poses. The lights suddenly blazed—
The five turned around, their gazes directly meeting Xiao Yi's position. Ruirui and Situ next to him exchanged a look: As expected of Sis!
At the event!
Live broadcast!
She could even fall asleep like this?!
Anshi's live broadcast platform was flooded with fans, especially Liang fans. When they heard that their empress was also at the scene, they were all filled with regret!
Why hadn't they received any notification earlier? Their empress was there alone, with no Liang fans to support her on-site!
The scene, just thinking about it, was heartbreaking!
Thus, Liang fans initiated an emergency fan public relations plan, posting the venue location. Those who could make it rushed over immediately!
The kind of presence other families had, their empress must have too!
Not just Liang fans, but also fans of Challenge, the Tie family, Courage, and even fans of Sister Hua and Brother Cheng received the emergency support order and rushed over!
Outside the venue, it was a mighty scene that startled the security guards. What was this wave of golden light like a tide?
Only when they saw the banners raised everywhere saying "I am the Empress" did they realize that these were all Xia Weiliang's fans!
To mobilize so many people in such a short time, only Yimi could rival them at the scene.
The Yimi glanced over, then turned their eyes away, giving them no acknowledgment.
The Liang fans also couldn't be bothered to deal with them. After all, the country was so big; you do your support, I do mine, each occupying half the territory, neither interfering with the other!
