Xie Yifeng and Zhou Yuhe were nestled on the sofa at home, watching the premiere of "Battle of the Pinnacle".
Zhou Yuhe was lying on the five-seater leather sofa, his dark head resting on a soft and comfortable pillow, his feet lazily resting on Xie Yifeng's thighs, and his body was covered with a woolen blanket, looking very comfortable.
"Coffee." His white and thin fingertips poked out of the blanket, and a mug of the same color was handed to him.
He was about to take the mug, but suddenly another hand gently held it, gently caressing the back of his smooth and tender hand, and he couldn't move an inch.
The corner of Zhou Yuhe's mouth curled up, and he stretched out his other hand from the blanket. That big hand grabbed his empty hand as if it was a treasure. Their fingers interlocked, and the mug was sent to his mouth.
During the whole process, Zhou Yuhe's eyes didn't move at all, as if they were glued to the TV.
The TV happened to be broadcasting the first half of "Battle of the Pinnacle". After Zhou Yuhe was kidnapped, everyone was solving the plot in the villa. Xie Yifeng was busy looking for clues and didn't have time to joke with the other guests, so he had the least screen time among them.
"Hahahahaha …" Zhou Yuhe burst into laughter.
Xie Yifeng helplessly and intimately pinched the tip of his lover's nose. He He was too heartless. If he hadn't arrived in time, maybe now …
Thinking of this, she unconsciously tightened her grip on Zhou Yuhe's hand.
"I'm done watching." Zhou Yuhe stretched his body. "I can guarantee that after this episode is broadcast, the reputation of the entire variety show will be reversed."
Xie Yifeng raised his eyebrows. "You're that confident?"
Zhou Yuhe smiled, and there was a hint of certainty in his usually calm eyes. "Of course."
"Battle of the Pinnacle" was different from other episodes of "The Liar". A variety show with a script could always enhance the audience's immersion and make it easier for them to understand. The original rules of the game were difficult to understand, but after the program team suffered many losses, they moved the complicated parts from the rules to the process of the game. The reversal of the plot immediately attracted the audience's attention, and the game content was simple and easy to understand.
Such changes seemed small, but for most things, the details did indeed determine success or failure.
Once "Battle of the Pinnacle" was broadcast, coupled with the popularity of Zhou Yuhe's injury, it instantly occupied the trending headlines for three consecutive weeks, and each episode was more and more popular than the previous one. Some audience members who were interested in watching "Battle of the Pinnacle" went back to watch the previous episodes.
The miraculous thing was that the first time he saw a game that he didn't understand, after being influenced by what he saw and heard for a long time, he could actually understand it after watching it for a second time!
There were a lot of jokes, details, and reversals, and they made people feel more "I see" than the first time!
As a result, the previous episodes also became popular. By the time the last episode of "Battle of the Pinnacle" was broadcast, "The Liar" occupied the entire Internet. The anti-fans who previously looked down on this variety show and mocked Zhou Yuhe for being "good at picking scripts, but bad at picking variety shows" were all silent.
Just as everything was going in the best direction, the Chinese entertainment industry ushered in a new year's awards season.
*****
If the awards season two or three years ago was dominated by Xie Yifeng's "Xuan Tong Emperor", then this year, history repeated itself —
"The Cat and An Xue".
Everyone had high hopes for it.
And it did not disappoint them.
It had already received no less than 70 international nominations, including "Best Film", "Best Director", "Best Newcomer", "Best Editing", and many other popular awards. Not to mention the domestic awards.
It was as if if "The Cat and An Xue" was not nominated this year, it would make their own awards ceremony seem particularly worthless. Invitations flew into the mailboxes of the main cast members like snowflakes.
However, an unexpected thing happened — — -
In the beginning, there were a lot of voices on the Internet that were optimistic about "The Cat and An Xue". Not only did it break the box office record of a literary film in the history of China, but social issues such as "homeless people" and "stray pets" also attracted phenomenal attention. With such a precious social significance, many viewers hoped that it could break the award record set by "Xuan Tong Emperor".
However, half a month later.
The awards ceremony was held one after another. The "The Cat and An Xue" team attended the awards ceremony again and again —
Again and again, they failed to win the awards.
At first, director Meng Chuan still had an awkward and polite smile on his face. However, as he attended the awards ceremony many times, he could no longer suppress his arrogance. He was even absent from the awards ceremony, causing people online to line up to watch him make a fool of himself.
Originally, they thought that it would be a legend with a good reputation, box office, and awards. Who knew that things would develop so dramatically? They were almost halfway through the awards ceremony. Other than a few awards for editing, lighting, and music, they didn't win any of the prestigious awards like "Best Director," "Best Film," and "Best Actor."
After the Bai Fei International Film Festival.
