Chapter 56: Chapter 55: Playing is Playing, Joking is Joking (Vote for Monthly Tickets)_2

"Creating scandals isn’t exactly the right path; only truly making money is what matters most. Besides, think about it, if one day you’re more famous than Qi Hao, not just gossip, even an actual romantic relationship with him wouldn’t be out of the question."

Jia started managing Yang Mi back in 2005.

She knew Yang Mi’s little thoughts inside and out.

Yang Mi insisted on creating gossip with Qi Hao, not just because of the lingering dissatisfaction from the time on "The Return of the Condor Heroes" set, but also because a part of her heart truly harbored an expectant longing.

"Thank you, sister Jia." Yang Mi stared blankly at the news on the webpage.

Tang Yan repeatedly kissed Qi Hao, suspected relationship exposed!

Tang Yan crazily NGing kiss scenes, suspected to have fallen for Qi Hao!

Qi Hao surrounded by beauties, living it up on set!

Qi Hao and Tang Yan share a jar of pickles, suspected to fall in love due to the play!

That’s not right.

Qi Hao and Tang Yan eating pickles should have been a long time ago, why is it making headlines now?

It seems, not only did Liu Shishi betray her,

Even Tang Yan, who usually seemed trustworthy, also no longer stood with her.

What happened to being lifelong sisters?

It’s all damn lies.

It turns out Jia is the only reliable one.

Yesterday’s media coverage naturally wasn’t solely focused on ending the gossip between Yang Mi and Qi Hao.

In reality, as the saying goes, out with the old, in with the new.

The media isn’t really concerned about the gossip between Yang Mi and Qi Hao dying down.

It was dull gossip from the start, without any intimate photos or rumors of them being in a hotel or in a shaking car together for hours.

Switching to Tang Yan is just as good for them.

At least Tang Yan and Qi Hao are an on-screen couple, and the media captured their kiss scenes—though just lightly touching—they created a beautiful picture.

What’s more, the media gradually received some related submissions.

For example, Qi Hao and Tang Yan chatting happily while eating pickles, made by Tang Yan’s mom as a loving gesture.

And crew members revealed that Tang Yan frequently NG’s during filming, while Qi Hao patiently and graciously waits for her.

Their interactions on set are particularly affectionate.

Yang Mi?

Who’s Yang Mi, we prefer watching Qi Hao and Tang Yan.

Additionally, Qi Hao has recently developed a passion for learning, becoming a hot topic.

People already liked him, and naturally, the aunties and sisters praised him, wishing their sons and brothers were as proactive as Qi Hao.

He’s not only proactive but also humble and eager to learn.

Despite having won the Best Actor title, achieving a milestone many stars strive their whole lives for, he never becomes arrogant.

He even personally spent money to hire an acting tutor for private lessons.

Alas, he’s someone else’s child.

"Next, we’ll present a very important award..."

Host Zhu Jun brought the award ceremony back on track after a performance.

"That’s right," fellow host Liu Fangfei took over, speaking enthusiastically, "Please welcome teachers Ge Cunzhuang and He Qing to present the Most Popular Male Actor award, please!"

Ge Cunzhuang was recently one of the gossip subjects involving Qi Hao.

He is Mr. Ge Ge You’s father.

Unaffected by the scandal, he walked up to the stage smiling.

He Qing caught up in a few steps, then assisted him by holding his arm.

If an elderly man like him fell, Ge You would be furious.

Many have difficulty telling He Qing and Xu Qing apart.

But in reality, their appearances aren’t quite similar, Xu Qing can be considered sexy, but her looks pale compared to He Qing.

He Qing fits the classical Chinese beauty ideal, divine and graceful with bright eyes and neat teeth.

She is the only actress to have performed in adaptations of all four great classical novels.

The roles she’s played are hard for others to surpass; trying so would only bring humiliation.

In "Love Sword Mountain River," she played the second female lead Empress Zhou, whose beauty overshadowed the lead Little Empress Zhou, making viewers doubt the men’s judgment in the show.

Perhaps that’s love.

Regarding love, belief makes it real; disbelief conjures it from nothing.

In truth, Li Yanshan, who played Little Empress Zhou, was once ATV’s first-ever Miss Asia, a beauty in her own right, but was mocked as a mere maid once encountering He Qing.

In 1989, while filming "Women’s Special Team," He Qing fell in love with actor Liu Wei, proclaiming their split five years later.

In 1995, during the filming of the TV drama "Wind Lotus Grudge," she bonded with Xu Yajun, gave birth to a son in 2001, and divorced in 2003.

According to netizens, these two somewhat lacked foresight.

"Shame that I can’t act anymore, or else I’d really compete for the Most Popular Male Actor award... it represents recognition from college students."

Ge Cunzhuang, aged, spoke with a slightly muffled voice, yet his thoughts remained clear.

Recently, he was told by his son to avoid reading the news.

Seemingly intending to conceal something.

He never really probed further, just didn’t look if told not to.

Later, he learned from Jiang Wen’s father that he had unknowingly been entangled in absurd gossip.

To claim he wasn’t angry would be a lie.

Yet it wasn’t to the extent his son expected.

Having witnessed many dirt-slinging affairs, such matters were child’s play for the old man—if you don’t care, there’s nothing they can do.

"Right now, you’re the Most Popular Male Actor!" He Qing courteously complimented the senior.

"And you’re the Most Popular Female Actor."

"Thank you, your words make me happier than if I won an actual award."

After exchanging a few words, they proceeded with the award presentation, Ge Cunzhuang opened the envelope, remarkably exclaimed,

"Wow, I know this one, Qi Hao, congratulations!"

"Congratulations Qi Hao, please come to the stage!"

It was Qi Hao’s first time receiving the Beijing College Student Film Festival Most Popular Male Actor award.

Previously, he hadn’t received it due

to being looked down upon by college students because of his low academic background.

Recently, his antics have been quite noteworthy.

Attempting for Deng Zhao to hit him with a car, endorsing spicy snacks, performing in bars...

Strangely enough, his reputation didn’t collapse; it actually improved.

Viewers discovered aloofness was merely Qi Hao’s disguise and that quirkiness was his signature move.

They began finding him intriguing.

Plus, Qi Hao became an emperor by sheer talent, earning respect wherever capable people go.

This time, college students voted him Most Popular Male Actor, he beat out other competitors for the award.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Qi Hao accepted the trophy, shaking hands with the award presenters.

Ge Cunzhuang patted Qi Hao’s arm, embraced him lightly, saying, "You’re great, looking forward to seeing you take over in this entertainment circle in the future."

Unfortunately, his son doesn’t have children.

As he and his wife are aging and their daughter abroad, when all these loved ones are gone, how lonely will his son be.

Which is why seeing outstanding young people brings reddened eyes.

"Thank you, sir, I will work even harder!"

While Qi Hao didn’t know Ge Cunzhuang’s thoughts, such evident goodwill was clear to him.

When around He Qing, he intended just a handshake.

Yet unexpectedly, she also opened her arms, evidently willing to hug him.

Without hesitation, Qi Hao slightly bent down to embrace her.

Feeling deeply touched momentarily, the sister in his arms was a childhood goddess to him.

Watching Three Kingdoms in youth left him envious of Zhou Yu.

Alas, time is ruthless.

The desire to buy osmanthus and carry wine together, no longer resembles youthful adventures.

Beauty fading, generals aging, the harshest worldly challenge faced by both; is there truly an undefeated beauty through the years?
