[Tan Jingdi congratulates Qin Xi for winning the Best Actress Award]
[Di Shen Reappears You Are My Goddess]
[Tan Jing and Qin Xi's second film]
"This Qin Xi is really in the limelight~"
Yue Ying put down the entertainment front page with a giant photo of Qin Xi wearing an evening gown attending the "Feige Award" ceremony, and sighed softly.
"She is so lucky. This Biography of Yan Qing is enough to support her for the rest of her life."
Yue Ying's agent, Tang Xin, who is also a partner of Yue Ying Company, spared no effort in mocking her.
"Oh, but she is just a little girl who started out as an idol drama actress, and she picked up the old rice that you didn't want to eat and finally made a comeback. If you hadn't been unable to make it and put it off, how could [The Legend of Yan Qing] have fallen into her hands? Now she's still hanging around in crappy ancient idol films!"
“Well, never mind her background, with the Fei Ge Best Actress award, her worth is no longer what it used to be…” Yue Ying shook her head slightly.
"It's my fault. When I first received the script for [The Biography of Yan Qing], I liked the story, but I was not in good health at that time. The filming time for TV series is long and the schedule is fast, and it's hard to shoot ancient costumes. Han Ku's new movie happened to come to me, so after weighing the pros and cons, I missed this opportunity. Qin Xi, this little girl, knows how to seize opportunities. She is quite talented and her acting is really good."
"Tsk!" Tang Xin said disdainfully, "She has talent? She's just the tallest among the short ones. The young actresses in this batch are all just pretty girls who can't act. That's why she's still outstanding. Put her in your youth, when there were many big stars competing for beauty, what's a fart for her, Qin Xi? You're the youngest Golden Horse Award winner in history. In terms of talent, how can she compare to you? At that time, there were so many actresses in their twenties who won Best Actress awards that you couldn't count them on one hand. How can she, a 25-year-old actress, be so outstanding?"
Yue Ying was quite pleased with herself when Tang Xin flattered her. "Yan Qing is indeed a rare and good role. If I were to interpret it, I would certainly be able to play it better than Qin Xi. After all, I haven't been working for nothing all these years!"
As he spoke, he glanced at the display cabinet behind him that was already filled with various trophies, and couldn't help but sigh.
"I have been focusing on making movies these years, and I have won all the major film awards. But I have indeed been less involved in TV dramas, and they are not perfect after all. I think the momentum of [The Biography of Yan Qing] is not only likely to win the 'Feige Award', but also this year's 'Honghu Award'. Alas, what a pity!"
Although Yue Ying looked noble on the surface, when she handed the Best Actress trophy to Qin Xi with a smile, it would be a lie to say that she was not jealous! Thinking about the fact that Qin Xi was very likely to sweep all the major awards in the field of TV dramas with [The Legend of Yan Qing], she felt even more painful. If [The Legend of Yan Qing] was her work, wouldn't she be the first person in the domestic entertainment industry to win all the awards for domestic movies and TV dramas? Yue Ying now regretted that she had made a mistake and gave up such a great opportunity.
"Hey, Xiaoying, what's so sad about a TV drama award? You're a top movie star, you've long been accustomed to the best of the best, and now you're suddenly asked to eat fast food, how can you adapt? Your starting point is the end point for people like Qin Xi!"
Tang Xin expressed her confusion, "I really don't understand. Isn't she just an award-winning actress? Now not only is the media praising her to the highest level, but so are those celebrities. Tan Jingdi is a well-known figure in the industry, but they are rushing to flatter her. Even Xi Zan posted a message on Weibo to congratulate her. Have these people been cursed by Qin Xi?"
Yue Ying pondered for a moment, "You may also say it was when I was young. I entered the industry at the age of 16, and it has been almost 20 years now. Times have changed. Back then it was the era of movies, and actors were proud to be movie actors. The influence of the film industry is unparalleled, and the audience is willing to pay for it.
But who among today's young people didn't grow up with TV? After watching dozens of soap operas, they have long been accustomed to such expressions and easily lose interest in artistic expressions that are too highbrow. Instead of Western food, they prefer fast food. Instead of spending money to stay in the cinema for two hours, they prefer to stay in bed and watch TV series for a day.
Times have changed, demands have changed, how can the entertainment industry not change? You say that today's young actresses are just vases, that's true! But look at the young actresses who are well-known now, how many of them came from filming movies? Aren't they all popular because of idol dramas, filming one after another, where do they have the time and energy to hone their acting skills? The vicious cycle continues, and the little bit of aura that they just started out with is also worn out. Expecting them to win awards, no matter whether it's for movies or TV series, even if they are given another ten years, that's just wishful thinking!
It is really unfair to judge them by our achievements. But among these young actresses, Qin Xi is indeed a special one. She also started out in idol dramas and has a pure and beautiful face, but her acting skills can easily handle serious dramas, at least in the field of TV dramas. She is already a leader of the younger generation for winning the "Feige Best Actress" award.
Not only that, I've read her Weibo, and it's very individual, as if many colors that originally contradict each other can blend together without any disobedience in her. She is likely to have her own unique personality, as she can make so many celebrities speak for her at the same time.
In this Internet age, what could be more attractive than being pretty, having works, having a strong personality, and being a good person? It’s no surprise that Qin Xi has become a top star.”
There is one more thing Yue Ying didn't say. She has the status she has today and has reaped the benefits of the times. If she were in the same era as Qin Xi, she doesn't think she has the ability to win over Qin Xi. Yue Ying, who has been in the industry for nearly 20 years and is regarded as an idol by countless stars, unexpectedly felt threatened by a junior who is 10 years younger than her one day. Yue Ying herself felt that she might be too sensitive!
After listening to Yue Ying's grand speech, Tang Xin couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. Wasn't she denouncing Qin Xi? Why did she praise him in the middle of her speech?
"What do you mean by top streamer? Isn't it just having a lot of fans? Is having a lot of fans so great? People's hearts are really changing, and the world is going downhill. Just because she has a lot of fans and a lot of traffic, can she be on par with you?"
Yue Ying was shocked, "What do you mean?"
"Maybe you don't know yet, after Qin Xi won the 'Feige Best Actress' award, the president of Chanel Asia Pacific has applied to the headquarters to upgrade Qin Xi's brand ambassador to a brand spokesperson. Doesn't that make her equal to you?
"Xiaoying, you are the winner of the three major awards and have lifted so many trophies. Even so, it took you several years to get the endorsement of Chanel. Qin Xi just won a mere Best Actress award, and she was able to get it effortlessly? Just because she is lucky? She stole your role? She stole your trophy, and now she wants to steal your endorsement?!"
Yue Ying's eyes flashed with a light. Her intuition was right. Qin Xi was promoted too quickly. If she went up, there would naturally be people above her who would be pulled down by her.
If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. It is indeed time to take precautions before they happen!
