In the hotel suite, the lights were as bright as day, illuminating every corner clearly.
Soft sofas are arranged in an orderly manner, and there are exquisite tea sets and several kinds of fresh fruits on the coffee table. The air is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers. Everything seems so comfortable and comfortable, but there is also a hint of unusual depression.
.
Chu Xuan sat quietly on one of the sofas. He was slightly bent over, as if he was thinking about something important.
His hands rested naturally on his legs, and his slender and well-jointed fingers gently rested on his knees. His face was calm, and his eyes were deep and reserved. Only the occasional flickering of his eyes revealed that his heart may not be as it seems.
So peaceful.
Lu Tao was sitting on the sofa on the right. He seemed a little tired or irritated, leaning on the back of the sofa. The back of the sofa was slightly dented by his pressure.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring closely at the huge floor-to-ceiling window not far away.
Outside the window was a sky illuminated by colorful neon lights. The gorgeous lights twinkled and twinkled in the night sky, but Lu Tao had no intention of admiring this beautiful scenery.
He placed his right hand on his right leg and gently clenched his fist. The knuckles of the clenched fist were slightly white from the force, as if he could not help but swing it out in the next second, and he felt like he wanted to hit someone hard.
The impulse emanated from him, making the air around him seem to become tense.
Zeng Ni is sitting upright on the sofa on the left. She has an elegant posture, her hands are folded across her chest, and her posture is dignified and a bit indifferent.
She crossed her legs, and her slender calves glowed softly under the light.
She kept her eyes on the mobile phone on the coffee table with a low eyebrow, quietly waiting for the call.
Tonight was supposed to be a grand TV festival dinner. The hotel was full of well-dressed celebrities and celebrities from all walks of life, making it very lively.
But as the couple's assistants, she and Lu Tao were not qualified to attend the dinner. This was an unwritten rule in the entertainment industry that everyone had to abide by.
So when the couple dressed up and went downstairs to attend the lively dinner party, the two of them could only stay in the suite upstairs, watching TV boredly, hoping to pass the long night.
But what they never expected was that something unexpected would happen to the couple just going to a seemingly ordinary dinner party.
A female star actually deliberately threw drinks at Sissi?
This sudden news instantly broke their originally peaceful state of mind.
In the complicated fame and fortune fair of the entertainment industry, every move seems to have a hidden mystery, just like this unexpected thing happening at this moment.
The female star actually made the shocking move of throwing drinks at Sissi, but what was her purpose for doing this?
Is it because he is jealous of Sissi's rising popularity in the entertainment industry and wants to use this to embarrass her so that he can stand out?
Or is there a more complicated and obscure interest entanglement behind it, and is it being secretly instigated by someone in an attempt to achieve some ulterior purpose through such vicious means?
All of this is like a fog, shrouding everyone's minds, making it difficult to fathom, and it is still unknown.
Zeng Ni could only tell Liu Xiaoli the news and ask Liu Xiaoli to contact the group. Perhaps only with the help of the group's power, it would be possible to completely figure out the matter and uncover the truth that may be hidden behind it.
.
In this slightly dull and depressing atmosphere, a crisp cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.
The music of the ringtone was originally very beautiful, and it might make people feel happy when listening to it on weekdays, but in such a tense and solemn atmosphere at this moment, it seemed particularly harsh, like a sharp sword, instantly
It broke the already slightly cold atmosphere.
Chu Xuan and Lu Tao, who were sitting on the sofa, had their own thoughts and were immersed in their own thoughts.
Hearing the sudden ringtone, they subconsciously shifted their gazes almost at the same time, looking towards the cell phone with the bright screen.
Zeng Ni, who was sitting on the sofa on the left, was also slightly startled. Then she quickly put down her crossed legs, leaned forward, quickly bent down, stretched out her finger and tapped the phone screen accurately.
Hands-free key.
In an instant, the voice from the mobile phone echoed clearly throughout the room.
At this moment, there was a sound of gentle footsteps coming from the direction of the bathroom.
Liu Yifei had just finished taking a bath. She exuded a faint bath fragrance, and her hair was still slightly moist, hanging casually on her shoulders.
She had changed into a set of elegant and refined clothes. The elegant colors and simple design made her look like a fairy walking out of a painting.
She walked slowly towards the living room with light steps.
As soon as she approached the living room, Liu Yifei heard her mother's familiar voice clearly coming from the phone: "Xiaoxuan played well."
These straightforward and somewhat angry words made Liu Yifei burst into laughter.
Her smile immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Chu Xuan, Lu Tao and Zeng Ni all turned their heads to look at her involuntarily, their eyes more or less filled with pleasure that had eased from the cold atmosphere.
Liu Yifei walked slowly, walked gently to Chu Xuan, then slowly sat down, and said to the mobile phone: "Mom, how can you support him beating people."
There was a bit of anger in her tone, but also the intimacy that a daughter has for her mother.
Hearing her daughter's voice, Liu Xiaoli on the other end of the phone quickly asked: "Are you okay?"
Her voice was full of concern, as if anything wrong with her daughter would make her anxious.
"It's okay, just a little drink, what's going to happen?" Liu Yifei showed a nonchalant look. She waved her hand gently, trying to stop her mother from worrying too much.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In her opinion, this was just a small accident. Although the female star's behavior was indeed a bit excessive, it would not make her make a fuss about it.
Hearing what her daughter said, Liu Xiaoli felt a little relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief and answered her daughter's question: "It's wrong to hit someone. It depends on the situation. That female star is deliberately trying to mess with you.
Isn’t this asking for a beating?”
On this point, she and Chu Xuan had the same idea. They deliberately caused trouble in front of each other. This was really asking for a beating.
"Okay." Liu Yifei didn't want to discuss this issue too much with her mother, so she changed the subject and asked: "So what is the situation now? Is there any news from the company?"
"Sister Hua, they told me several things." Liu Xiaoli's steady voice came clearly through the mobile phone.
Suddenly, Chu Xuan, Zeng Ni and Lu Tao, who were already nervous because of this unexpected incident, couldn't help but listen more carefully.
Liu Yifei also stopped wiping her hair at this time, and her eyes were equally focused on the phone screen.
"That female star's name is Kim Nam-joo. She is not an unknown person. She is the heroine of the Korean drama "The Helpful Queen"."
"And she is also one of the finalists for Best Actress in a Drama Series at the Baeksang Arts Awards, and is Sissi's competitor."
Liu Xiaoli introduced the situation in a leisurely manner. In just two sentences, it caused quite a stir in everyone's hearts.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and it could be seen from each other's eyes that they had some understanding from Liu Xiaoli's words.
"Before "Legend of Red Flame" was not shortlisted, her voice was quite high, as if she had already booked the Best Actress Award."
"In South Korea's public opinion field, everyone feels that this award must be hers. Various media are reporting on it, and the popularity is very high."
"After "Legend of Red Flame" was shortlisted, the situation changed."
"All the voices of the crowd have been transferred to you, Sissi. It means that you have taken away her original halo in one fell swoop."
Everyone looked at Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei's eyes were sighing, as if she understood what was going on.
Chu Xuan gave Liu Yifei a thumbs up, as if to say: "Great job."
When Lu Tao and Zeng Ni saw this scene, their originally depressed mood turned into joy.
"Especially there is another point, which is different from our country's awards."
"Relatively speaking, people in our country don't pay much attention to these film and television awards. Winning an award is basically a matter of personal honor and does not have much impact on personal commercial value."
"But the awards in South Korea are different. This country's entertainment industry is the backbone of their economy. Think about it, how much South Korean people pay attention to the entertainment industry."
"Almost people across the country are keen to pay attention to the dynamics of the entertainment industry. Every award competition and every star's movement can become a topic of discussion for everyone after dinner."
Liu Xiaoli explained the differences between the two countries in detail so that everyone can understand the background of the matter more clearly.
Everyone nodded after hearing this. They indeed understood the situation. After all, the name "Entertainment to Death" is not for nothing.
In South Korea, the popularity and influence of the entertainment industry are indeed beyond imagination, otherwise the "Princess Nihuang" feminist incident would not have happened.
"The Baeksang Arts Awards is the largest art festival in South Korea. At this art festival, the commercial value of the winners will soar."
"So, Sissi, you blocked Jin Nanzhu's way, just like the saying blocking people's way of making money is like killing their parents."
"Although this sentence is very exaggerated, it is very vivid in the South Korean entertainment industry."
"For an award and to increase their commercial value, it is normal for some celebrities to do whatever it takes."
"Their entertainment industry is very strange and crazy. If Jin Nanzhu came to target you because of this matter, it would be justified."
"After all, in the face of interests, some people don't care about morality and grace."
"This is the first guess made by you, Sister Hua, and others."
After Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, the living room fell into a brief silence. Everyone was carefully reviewing what she said and thinking about how this matter might develop next.
Also, Liu Xiaoli just said that this is just the first guess, so there must be follow-up guesses.
"Mom, what else happened?" Chu Xuan asked.
"Other situations are more complicated." Liu Xiaoli said.
It’s complicated. When they heard this, everyone couldn’t help but frown.
"For the Baeksang Arts Awards, only South Korean film and television works are shortlisted. This is the first time that a foreign work has been shortlisted since the establishment of this art festival."
"Ah?" Liu Yifei blinked cutely.
If her mother hadn't told her, she really wouldn't have known this was the case.
Chu Xuan glanced at Zeng Ni, who shook her head and said she didn't know. They didn't know this either.
Whichever award their works are shortlisted for, they just have to go and check it out as appropriate.
For them, they don’t have the time and energy to understand the background of a foreign art festival.
"This year's Baeksang Arts Awards, the organizing committee has broken this tradition. It seems to you, Sister Hua, that the purpose is obvious, which is to use Sissi's influence in South Korea to gain more public attention."
"Think about it, if 'Princess Nihuang' won the award, do the women in South Korea have a great impression of the 'Baeksang Arts Awards'?"
Everyone nodded, and they had guessed this purpose from Liu Xiaoli's previous words.
"However, some people support breaking tradition to pursue profits, while others do not support breaking tradition to pursue profits."
"In other words, the organizing committee is not monolithic, and there are too many interests behind it."
"Those who do not support the nominees for "Legend of Red Flame" will naturally cause trouble."
"The direction of trouble is to suppress the title of 'Princess Nihuang'."
"Therefore, they sent Jin Nanzhu to pour wine and try to make you look embarrassed, Sissi, so as to shift public opinion to you and Jin Nanzhu, Sissi, and regain Jin Nanzhu's power."
Kim Nam Joo's current popularity is almost completely suppressed by Liu Yi Fei, so after this incident triggered public opinion, whether it is black or red, Kim Nam Joo's popularity is definitely there.
They know the truth of the matter, but the masses do not know the truth.
As long as the media distorts the facts and reports, regardless of whether Liu Yifei will be affected, at least Kim Nam Joo's popularity will increase.
This is just trying to gain popularity, but the method of doing so is very clumsy, deliberately throwing drinks at someone in an attempt to get involved with Liu Yifei.
"This is your second guess, Sister Hua. It's just that Xiaoxuan's backhand slap was an accident. I guess the other party didn't expect it at all."
"However, although I just said that you fought well, your slap will trigger the better result that the other party wants, and you should also understand."
Originally, it was just Kim Nam-joo who deliberately poured wine, and it was not easy to spread rumors about the media intentionally.
But Chu Xuan's slap will give the media the opportunity to create rumors.
Then, following this second guess, it would be more convenient for the forces behind it to use Chu Xuan as an excuse to suppress the media methods of "Princess Nihuang".
After all, Chu Xuan is the husband of "Princess Nihuang".
"Hey." Liu Yifei sighed: "It's just a prize, why do you make things so complicated? I'm speechless."
Hearing what her daughter said, Liu Xiaoli's voice came: "Who told you to be so popular in South Korea?"
"The majority of people hope that you will win the award because of your glorious image as "Princess Nihuang"."
"Some people in the organizing committee don't want you to win the award because "Legend of Red Flame" broke their tradition."
"The audience market has its reasons to support you, and the organizing committee also has its own reasons to protect the tradition."
"This is the contradiction between the lower market and the upper market, and your shortlisting is just the trigger."
Liu Yifei also understood, but she just didn't think much about going through these complicated things.
She raised her arms and put her arms around Chu Xuan's neck, lying on Chu Xuan's shoulders, muttering: "I don't care, I'm just here for my honeymoon, it doesn't matter if I win or not, I don't want to arrange any interviews for me.
To clarify or something, it affects my mood."
"You." Liu Xiaoli said helplessly.
Chu Xuan, Zeng Ni and Lu Tao smiled slightly.
"Let's watch it first. If public opinion breaks out, don't show up in public. Just stay in the hotel and go out on the day of the award ceremony." Liu Xiaoli said.
"Okay." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded in agreement.
