Chapter 474: Chapter 475 Eating Melons Eating Melons

Sheng Yan glanced at Zhang Ming again, his gaze even colder than before.

Zhang Ming muttered under his breath, "It’s really not my fault, I also didn’t expect you to suddenly decide to attend the Baihua State Awards. When you called me there were only two hours left before the award ceremony started. How was I supposed to prepare?

"All the judges of Baihua State Awards are the CEOs of major entertainment companies. What will other people think if you go there?"

At this thought, Zhang Ming had a sudden inspiration and said, "Right, isn’t He Jinxia also nominated for the Golden Eagle Audience’s Favorite Supporting Actress? How about I arrange for you to present the award to her?"

The more he thought about it, the better Zhang Ming felt about his plan. Being a Golden Eagle award presenter also roughly matched Sheng Yan’s status. After all, the Golden Eagle is a major event in the country, and it’s very popular, even if netizens always mock it as the "Water Eagle."

"Do you want to walk the red carpet with He Jinxia? But the difference in status between you two is too great; it’s impossible for you to walk the red carpet together, and it’s not possible for you to sit together at the ceremony either. The most likely scenario right now is for you to present her with the award. What do you think? Is my suggestion good?"

"How many times in life can one win the ’Audience’s Favorite Supporting Actress’ award? I feel like He Jinxia will only win this once. With her current popularity, she can only take on leading roles or special appearances, not supporting roles anymore. You should really consider it."

Zhang Ming spoke until he was out of breath, feeling that he was very considerate. In order to allow Sheng Yan and He Jinxia to make a ’legitimate’ public appearance together, he had racked his brain. Even a military strategist couldn’t have been as meticulous as him!

Just as Zhang Ming was about to continue speaking with his persuasive tongue, Sheng Yan casually said two words: "It’s possible."

***

He Jinxia was one of the few well-known actresses attending the Baihua State Awards today, so the crew arranged for her to walk the red carpet at a much later time.

The later a star appears, the more important they are.

Her arrival immediately excited the bored journalists waiting at the red carpet, who started snapping pictures non-stop.

"My God, He Jinxia actually came to the Baihua State Awards? Aren’t these awards supposed to be pretty trashy?"

"Luck can’t be stopped when it comes, haha, I actually got a shot of He Jinxia. Does He Paopao not want to make a comeback in Itinerant World?"

"Quick, take more photos. I remember the JY girl group is also here in Baihua State, and they’re attending as performance guests. I’m really looking forward to seeing some sparks fly between them!"

Facing the excited wave of shouts from numerous reporters, He Jinxia walked the red carpet and arrived at the signature wall to sign her name.

An opportunistic host came over to interview her, asking for her thoughts.

He Jinxia smoothly said some nice words, expressing hope that Baihua State would continue to improve, and just then, another female star who had walked the red carpet arrived.

It was a female singer who had been in the second tier for a long time, the type whose songs were famous but not the person.

The singer’s company wanted to transform her into a fashion queen and had been working hard on her image transformation for a year. Therefore, the singer’s appearance at the Baihua State Awards was especially exaggerated today.

Her hair was dyed purple and styled into standing spikes, her eyes were heavily done with black smoky makeup, and her face was painted somewhat pale to match the photography.

He Jinxia was also wearing heavy makeup, but not as exaggerated as the singer’s. Seeing someone come over, she turned to leave and make space, but in the next second, the singer quickly approached her and warmly greeted her:

"Jinxia, long time no see!"

He Jinxia blinked, a moment of bewilderment crossing her face. Could she say that she didn’t even know the name of the person in front of her?

The female singer’s hand feebly supported He Jinxia, as she smiled and said, "How have you been recently?"

He Jinxia gave a light cough, nodded with a smile toward her, but didn’t answer.

Some reporters called for the two of them to take a photo together, so He Jinxia ended up posing for a few pictures with the female singer.

After the photo session, another celebrity was about to walk over from the red carpet, so He Jinxia took the opportunity to head toward the exit, while the female singer stayed in place to let the reporters take a few more shots.

A few minutes later, multiple marketing accounts started a richly illustrated live broadcast of the Baihua State awards ceremony, which included the scoop on He Jinxia and the female singer Du Meixin.

[This year’s Baihua State awards ceremony is rife with "accidents" even before the official start, bringing a wave of juicy gossip.

First up, the third actress to appear, Xia Jiatong, made a stunning entrance in a floor-length red gown, her complexion paler than snow, accented with classic red lips [Image].

Xia Jiatong, halfway down the red carpet, appeared to have trouble with her high heels, which seemed unsuitable, as she stumbled. Her shoe caught on the tail of her red dress, and as she continued to walk, the gown almost got pulled down! The delicate scenery of her chest was almost revealed, with both nipple covers slipping into view, leading to immense embarrassment! [Animated.gif]

During the interlude, JY entered the scene, stopping at the signing area for an interview. Wen Ningning, having had the microphone snatched away by another member of her girl group, rolled her eyes discreetly, a moment which the camera caught, making for a lively image. [Animated.gif]

The red carpet event was nearing its end when a heavyweight figure appeared. As a budding artist who’s recently been in the limelight in Berlin, He Jinxia also attended the Baihua State awards ceremony. She had expected to enter quietly, but ended up exchanging pleasantries with the singer Du Meixin.

PS: The two haven’t publicly announced they were friends, so what’s Du Meixin up to~ The relationships between celebrities are too complicated; the circle is indeed chaotic!

PS2: Below is a shared photo of the two together, big enough to be a featured image. They say clothes make the person, beauty is enhanced by a good outfit, but in the editor’s opinion, beauty can only stand out when people are compared with each other. Lastly, I want to comment: Du Meixin, did you come to walk the red carpet or to perform in a magic blockbuster? [Image]]

A small award like Baihua State can still be the one thing that turns a star’s fortunes around, such as Xia Jiatong, who began tripping and exposing herself at the beginning. As soon as her press release went out, her team started paying for trending searches.

Because it was such a sensational topic, it climbed the hot search rankings quickly, rocketing to the top ten in no time, and other interesting news items from the Baihua awards also gained attention from netizens.

Specially, Wen Ningning’s eye-rolling gif caught fire later on, and its popularity nearly matched that of Xia Jiatong, with #WenNingningEyeRoll climbing into the top ten trending searches.

The comparison photo of He Jinxia and Du Meixin was lukewarm, garnering average interest, and netizens only glanced at it in passing as they digested the drama.

[This year’s Baihua Award has quite a bit of gossip...]

[Speaking of the history of Baihua Awards, it has been around even longer than the Golden Eagle Awards, but it’s always been considered a second-rate event, mostly giving awards to second and third-tier stars, and in recent years to many small-time celebrities just to pad their resumes.]

[That Xia Jiatong must have done it on purpose, so embarrassing. Think back to five years ago when she was so famous, and now, fallen from grace, she actually resorts to such news to attract attention.]

[I feel He Jinxia’s stature really doesn’t match this award.]
