The straight man in the entertainment circle

Hearing someone speaking, Lin Li turned around and looked over.

The person who spoke was none other than Leng Ying, who came to Weibo Night.

Leng Ying wore a brown windbreaker and black high heels, showing off her beautiful legs, with her hair loose and light makeup, and she was in excellent condition.

Unlike the actresses on the red carpet, Leng Ying dressed plainly.

Lin Li wanted to ask why you are here, but then he thought about it. Leng Ying must be one of the last people walking on the red carpet. It's still early. She couldn't queue up so early. It would be too much of a loss.

Thinking about it this way, what Leng Ying is wearing now may not be what she will wear on the red carpet later.

"What, you don't know me?" Leng Ying saw Lin Li didn't speak for a while and smiled.

Lin Li smiled at Leng Ying and said, "What a coincidence."

"Unfortunately, I've been looking for you."

"What are you doing with me?" Lin Li asked.

Leng Ying looked around and said, "This is not the place to talk. Can we find a place to sit down and chat?"

"Okay, it'll be fine for now anyway." Lin Li said.

Song Wenjie said: "If you two talk, I won't go."

Lin Li glanced at his mother and saw Song Wenjie winking at Lin Li, as if to say that her mother can only help you so far.

"Then... let's go." Leng Ying said to Lin Li.

Lin Li nodded and followed Leng Ying to the official lounge prepared for some big-name celebrities.

Leng Ying met many celebrities along the way. They seemed to be familiar with them, and they chatted for a few words before moving on.

Those people also greeted Lin Li who was following Leng Ying, but they looked at Lin Li a little strangely.

Apparently they had something in mind regarding Lin Li following Leng Ying.

Just when Leng Ying arrived at the lounge and was about to go in, she suddenly bumped into another person.

"Ah, beauty Leng, long time no see."

Lin Li recognized this man. His name was Wei Han. He was a male singer who debuted at the same time as Leng Ying. Although he was not as popular as Leng Ying, he was still considered a first-tier singer. Because he was of mixed race, his facial features seemed more three-dimensional and he was still very handsome.

As for the rumors about Wickhan, Lin Li had also heard some. It seemed that he was a rich second generation. Although there were many people in the entertainment industry who created characters under the banner of rich second generation, Weihan was a real rich second generation.

It is said that his grandfather opened a bank, and his grandfather was the president of a telecommunications company in Malay. The elders in the family are all presidents of major companies or banks.

This kind of handsome, rich and talented man is naturally the prince charming in the eyes of countless girls.

Leng Ying had a very good relationship with Wickham after her debut. The two also sang several duet songs and would be each other's guests at each other's concerts.

Two years ago, Wickham made entertainment headlines when he confessed to Leng Ying at his concert.

Leng Ying was a guest at Wickham's concert at that time, and was forced to go on stage to say a few words of thanks amid the screams of fans in the audience.

After that, scandals between Leng Ying and Wickham were flying all over the world. Not long after, Leng Ying clarified that the two were just friends and were not together.

Wickham later posted a clarification on Weibo, and the two seemed to have little interaction since then.

This incident was the headline at the time, so Lin Li naturally knew about it, but at that time, Lin Li never expected that he would get to know Leng Ying and meet Wei Han.

Leng Ying saw Wickham and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, we meet again."

When Wickham saw Lin Li, he was a little defensive. He forced a smile and said, "Is this Lin Li?"

"Hello, I am." Lin Li said.

"Oh, you are indeed a talented person. I have listened to your songs and they are very good. I will definitely invite you to sing next time." Wickham said with a smile.

Lin Li didn't answer, but that's what Wickhan seemed to say, his eyes still staring at Leng Ying.

"Aren't you going to walk on the red carpet?" Wickham asked.

"It's still early, I'll go there later."

Wickham looked at his watch and said, "I still have a while."

After speaking, Wickham froze in place, obviously wanting to continue chatting with Leng Ying for a while.

Leng Ying looked at Lin Li and said with some embarrassment: "Well... Lin Li and I have something to say."

Wickham's eyes were a little disappointed, and he forced a smile and said, "Oh, okay, okay, then you guys can talk."

After Wickham finished speaking, he nodded to Lin Li and walked away.

Neither Lin Li nor Leng Ying saw him. After he walked past Lin Li, his expression suddenly dropped.

Although Lin Li didn't see Wickham change his face, he could already feel his hostility towards him.

This Wickham seems to really like Leng Ying.

However, most of the love in the entertainment industry is mixed with interests, and men in the entertainment industry are often not short of women, but they just feel grudges about those who fail to succeed.

Leng Ying opened the door to the lounge and said to Lin Li, "Come in."

Lin Li walked in. The lounge was small but fairly quiet.

"You have such a wide network, you know everyone." Lin Li entered the lounge and smiled.

"It's just a joke. You don't really think I'm familiar with them, do you?"

Leng Ying brought two small stools and handed one to Lin Li. She sat down and put her feet up.

"Not familiar with Wickham?" Lin Li asked.

Leng Ying was a little sad and said: "We were quite familiar once."

Lin Li didn't want to pry into Leng Ying's privacy. Seeing her like this, he stopped asking and sat down silently.

To be honest, Lin Li felt that he was not very familiar with her. The two had only collaborated with each other once and had almost no personal communication.

Seeing that Lin Li was silent, Leng Ying smiled and said, "Sister Hua told me that there are only interests and no friends in the entertainment industry."

Lin Li was stunned. The person who said such words had obviously seen through the nature of the entertainment industry. Only Sister Hua would feel this way after seeing many examples in the entertainment industry where people parted ways or even fought against each other because of interests. .

But it seems too pessimistic.

"Fortunately, I have it," Lin Li said.

"Huh? Are you talking about me?" Leng Ying looked at Lin Li with interest.

Lin Li shook his head and said, "No, I'm talking about Wu Rubing."

Leng Ying's eyes stagnated and she complained: "Let me tell you, how could you do this? It turns out that I thought too much. Why wouldn't you just follow my words and say that I am one of them?"

"If I say that, I'm just teasing you."

After Lin Li finished speaking, Leng Ying was unable to refute and was stunned.

"Okay, let's get down to business. Tell us what you know. Is there something wrong with the number of votes on our Weibo night?" Lin Li changed to the topic.

Leng Ying said: "To tell you the truth, the Weibo Music Newcomer of the Year award has long been decided on Bai Jingyu. No matter how many votes you have, it will be useless."

Hearing what Leng Ying said, Lin Li understood immediately, but was not much shocked or angry.

Lin Li was just curious. Bai Jingyu and she were the same agent, and they were both signed by Sister Hua. Bai Jingyu decided the award internally, which was not glorious. Leng Ying didn't need to tell herself this.

"Why are you telling me this?" Lin Li asked after a pause for a few seconds.

"Actually, Sister Hua asked me to find you, and this is what she asked me to tell you." Leng Ying said with a smile.

Lin Li was stunned. He never expected this to be the case, but he understood why Leng Ying brought him here to talk. It was really not convenient to talk about these things outside.

"Why does Sister Hua want you to tell me this?"

Leng Ying said: "Sister Hua said, I hope you can realize the importance of connections in the entertainment industry. With your current popularity, you will definitely be among the last group of people to walk on the red carpet, but because of your agent and The company doesn’t have enough connections, so you will be placed in such a high position.”

Lin Li smiled and said, "You have to leave first and then later. I don't care that much."

Leng Ying smiled and said, "I brought the words. Sister Hua said that she can give you a better future."

Lin Li didn't expect that Sister Hua was still obsessed with him and asked Leng Ying to tell him the secret.

Lin Li did not respond, but instead asked: "Have all the awards been decided already?"

"That's not true. There are very few agents with Sister Hua's reputation in the entertainment industry. Counting companies, there are not many. There are so many awards on Weibo night, only a few are qualified, and most of them are still undecided." Leng Ying said.

“Where’s the Weibo Person of the Year?”

"As far as I know...there seems to be no internal decision on this."

"Then why did Satan clearly have the top four votes, but he was told that the votes were abnormal and invalid?"

Leng Ying said: "Who is Satan?"

"He is an e-sports broadcaster."

"Oh, that's no wonder." Leng Ying said with a clear look.

"What's the wonder?"

"E-sports anchors, these stars are looked down upon. Not to mention e-sports anchors, just ordinary second-tier stars come. Some people will complain in private. That e-sports anchor is coming. Some people will think this party is too low. With E-sports anchors lose their value when they are on the same stage.”

What Leng Ying said was very true, but Lin Li was very angry after hearing it. The contempt chain in the entertainment industry is indeed so ruthless.

"If you look down on him, why should you include him on the list?" Lin Li said angrily.

"The e-sports crowd didn't pay much attention to this Weibo night. I guess Zhalang hopes to use his popularity in the circle to promote it. I don't think they expected that there are so many e-sports players and they put him in the top four. This It was explained that the number of votes was abnormal."

Lin Li gritted his teeth, Zha Lang's operation was too dirty!

Leng Ying saw Lin Li's expression was bad and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Lin Li said.

"Don't act recklessly. I should have known better."

Leng Ying knew Lin Li's temper and regretted saying so much. Sister Hua asked her to tell Lin Li what Bai Jingyu had decided, but it was Leng Ying who told Lin Li the inside story about Satan.

"I won't mess around, don't worry." Lin Li said.

Leng Ying was still not at ease when she heard what Lin Li said. Lin Li was different from normal people. It was his normal operation to quarrel with people. He said he wouldn't mess around, but it was scarier than he said he would mess around.

"I know you can't tolerate disdain in your eyes, but you have to act according to your ability. This is quite normal in the industry. Don't feel that you are wronged. You are in the entertainment industry. Who hasn't ordered it yet?" It’s a grievance, and you’re still an e-sports anchor, so you don’t have to stand up for others.”

Lin Lidao: "I'm not feeling aggrieved for myself, but I feel sorry for those who worked so hard to vote!"

Leng Ying suddenly fell silent. Lin Li was right, but no one in the entertainment industry actually cared about whether those people's votes were worth it. They were all thinking about how to get them to vote, even though their votes would not affect the final outcome at all. As a result, whether it is a platform or an individual, as long as you earn this attention, you will win!

"You are really different from others." Leng Ying said with a bitter smile.

Lin Li was a little embarrassed about Leng Ying's compliment. He looked at the time and said, "Are you ready to go?"

Although it was still a while before the red carpet ended, Leng Ying still had to put on makeup and prepare.

Leng Ying looked at Lin Li and said, "Okay, I'll go get ready. I brought Sister Hua's message to you. If you change your mind, please contact me at any time."

Lin Li smiled but didn't answer. Leng Ying also knew that he probably wouldn't change his mind, so she stood up, smiled at him, and left.

The Weibo Night red carpet came to an end soon, and Lin Li discovered something very interesting, that is, the last few people who were arranged to walk on the red carpet were all big names and very popular celebrities, and none of these people walked on the red carpet according to the procedures.

In order to walk on the red carpet for the finale, the last few people did not arrive for a long time, but Leng Ying was allowed to leave first.

The red carpet process, which was originally scheduled to end at 17:30, was forced to end at 17:45 by the organizer.

This resulted in several celebrities not walking on the red carpet, but it was their own fault.

After walking the red carpet, people entered the venue early in the morning, found their seats and sat down. At 18 o'clock, the party officially started!

The party host is different from the red carpet host. The red carpet host is the head host of Youku.com, while the party host is obviously much more famous.

The male host is Ning Yuchao from CCTV. He originally hosted legal programs and gave people the impression of being a very serious person. Later, with the rise of online programs, he hosted several online variety shows. Everyone found that he was actually very humorous, serious and funny. It can be seamlessly connected and is loved by everyone. He is also a senior host who has hosted several Spring Festival Galas. Although he cannot be said to be a pillar of CCTV, he is definitely the most popular among CCTV hosts.

The female host turned out to be Qiu Tian from Mango Channel.

First, there is a long video summarizing the ten years of Weibo, including the number of users, influence, charity actions, celebrity users, people’s topics, etc. Weibo is already great, and the video is even more impressive with its praise. .

The opening dance was from a boy group that formed the top nine groups in last year's talent show. In Lin Li's opinion, this group of people danced ugly and lip-synched. Moreover, Lin Li also found that the members of this boy group were simply the male version of the SG girl group. She has a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, a pale face, heavy makeup and eye shadow, and a girly manner.

But don't mention it, after this group of people appeared, there was still a lot of screaming.

Lin Li considers himself a young man, and most of the star-chasers are about the same age as him, but why are their aesthetics so different?

Lin Li still likes the stars of the 1990s. The stars at that time were all natural. Some of them were heroic, some were charming, some were domineering, some were as gentle as jade, and they had various styles. , each has its own characteristics and charm, which people can remember at once.

As for the members of the men's team and the SG women's team, Lin Li's memory was so short that he couldn't tell who was who. It could be said that apart from the fact that they all looked similar, Lin Li had no other feelings for them.

But these people seem to be very popular.

Lin Li couldn't help but wonder, could it be that his straight male aesthetics really couldn't keep up with the times?

After the opening dance, a low and magnetic male voice introduced the host.

Ning Yuchao: "Hello everyone, welcome to Weibo Night. I am Ning Yuchao. I am very happy to be here to meet you!"

Qiu Tian: "Hello everyone, I am Qiu Tian, ​​the host tonight."

Lin Li could tell that something was wrong with Qiu Tian's voice.

Sure enough, Ning Yuchao immediately asked: "Qiu Tian, ​​do you have a cold?"

Qiu Tian said aggrievedly: "Yes, you heard it, but I can do it!"

Qiu Tian was wearing an off-the-shoulder long dress. She looked nice, but it was still a little cold, especially since she rushed from Fulan to Kyoto all at once, and the temperature difference was quite big.

Other celebrities can show their arms and legs for a few minutes on stage, and then put on a coat after coming off the stage, but Qiu Tian will be hosting for more than three hours, and she will definitely not be able to stand wearing this all the time, not to mention she has a cold.

Many people at the scene applauded Qiu Tian's professionalism.

It could be seen that Ning Yuchao was a little worried, but in order not to delay the party, he said nothing more.

The two hosts talked about sponsors and partners before getting into the topic of tonight.
