On the 20th, Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei landed in Jinguancheng, Sichuan Province, to participate in this year's China Original Music Popular Chart Award Ceremony.
Zhang Yuanjun won the Best Album (Mainland) Award, and together with Liu Yifei won the My Favorite Popular Idol (Mainland) Award.
When Zhang Yuanjun took Liu Yifei to the stage to receive the award, the fans in the audience screamed wildly.
Have you never seen a male guest holding a female guest’s hand on stage together?
After receiving the award, the two of them sat back down the stage. Zhang Yuanjun smiled bitterly and said, "I can't explain clearly this time."
"Can't explain what?" Liu Yifei asked, tilting her head.
"My career has just started. It would be very bad if it were revealed that I was in love at this time." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
"You are so shameless. You are afraid of scandals, but am I not afraid?" Liu Yifei said.
"So, let's keep a distance between us from now on." Zhang Yuanjun said.
"Fuck you." Liu Yifei rolled her eyes.
Finally, Zhang Yuanjun's "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and Liu Yifei's "Little Lucky" were selected as the mainland's golden songs.
On the 25th, the two went to Shanghai to attend the 13th Annual Awards Ceremony of the Global Chinese Music Chart.
"I really can't explain clearly this time." This time it was Liu Yifei who mentioned it first.
Zhang Yuanjun was annoyed: "It's over, it's over, my great career has just begun, and it's about to fall into your hands. I should have known I wouldn't have sang "Little Luck" and "The World Is Unparalleled"."
Especially "The World is Unparalleled". It was the first time I sang this song in front of her. Now it seems that it is really too ambiguous.
Liu Yifei didn't tell Zhang Yuanjun, but she lurked in Zhang Yuanjun's forum. In the past few days, she saw many netizens discussing her so-called "romance" with Zhang Yuanjun.
It’s so lively.
Judging from the discussions on Tieba, most of Zhang Yuanjun's fans are not opposed to him being together with Liu Yifei.
Maybe it's because Liu Yifei became famous earlier than him, is slightly more famous than him, and has much better audience popularity than Zhang Yuanjun, so it makes people think that Zhang Yuanjun is "higher" than Liu Yifei.
Furthermore, the vast majority of Zhang Yuanjun's fans know that these two are classmates. They had a good relationship when they were in school. Now that they have graduated and are in the same capital, it is normal for them to be closer.
Of course, some fans still don't accept that idols are not allowed to fall in love, and there are many such fans in Zhang Yuanjun's forum.
However, this is not the case when the same thing happens to Yifei Xianju and Liu Yifei.
Fans of Liu Yifei hate the scandal between Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei - they think it was deliberately caused by Zhang Yuanjun.
"Students should also pay attention to the scale, not to mention that he is also an artist himself. He should know the impact that speculation about this kind of scandal will have on Yifei."
Liu Yifei even shared the posts she saw in Xianju with Zhang Yuanjun at the awards ceremony.
"They said you're a toad who wants to eat swan meat. Hahahahaha!" Liu Yifei sometimes speaks out of her mind and says such very offensive things.
Zhang Yuanjun sneered: "I'm good-looking, I must be a swan."
Liu Yifei immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing and said softly: "I'm sorry."
Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said: "Then who do you think is the toad?"
"Anyway, I'm not, and neither are you, and I don't know who is." Liu Yifei covered it up with a haha.
The awards ceremony continued. The Best Male Singer (Mainland) was not awarded to Zhang Yuanjun, but to a young man named Zhang Jingxuan. Zhang Yuanjun defeated the popular Chen Kun and won the Most Popular Male Singer (Mainland).
Liu Yifei's "Little Lucky" won the Popular Song of the Year Award (Mainland). This song and Zhang Yuanjun's "Young and Promising" were jointly ranked among the Best Songs of the Year (Mainland).
At the awards ceremony, both Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei performed on stage to meet the audience's expectations.
The ceremony lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening. Liu Yifei took the nearest flight back to the capital, while Zhang Yuanjun chose to stay one night in Jinguancheng and returned to the capital at noon the next day during Laba.
On the first working day after Laba Festival, the rough cut of "Animal World" passed the review of the General Administration and obtained a release permit. It is scheduled to be released on September 29 this year during the National Day.
At the same time, news of a striking blockbuster also leaked out - "Double J Project".
This film is in the hands of Huayi. Wang Zhonglei repeatedly emphasized this film at various industry conferences at the end of the year:
"'Double J Project', as the name suggests, is a movie where Jackie and Jet join forces!"
"This movie is the highest-invested movie in the history of Chinese-language movies!"
"Jackie Chan and Li Lianlian have been finalized."
"Of course it's produced in Hollywood and distributed worldwide!"
Those who know know that you are Huayi, but I don’t know that you think you are Warner!
If you get a movie, you dare to brag about it.
However, what Wang Zhonglei boasted is really effective, and now the industry is following this trick, otherwise Zhang Yuanjun would not have been able to get more than 7 million US dollars of investment from China Film and Huayi with a US$2.2 million "Buried Alive".
Many actors and investors in the industry truly believe that "Double J Project" is Huayi's project.
"That's bullshit!" Zhang Yuanjun told his colleagues during a morning meeting in the studio. "It's true that he invested in it, and he also distributed it domestically, but it's nonsense to say that this movie is his. The biggest investment in "Double J Project" Fang is Hollywood's Relativity Media, which takes money from Wall Street. The producer is Casey Silve, a subsidiary of Universal, and Lionsgate is also involved in the production. If you take a stake and say the movie is his, then you will believe it.
"But if you look at what he boasted, he never said that he was the main controller from beginning to end. He just said that Huayi teamed up with Hollywood to invest 70 million US dollars, but he didn't say how much he invested. So it seems that what he boasted can't be said, so it's wrong."
Zhang Yuanjun especially understands this kind of marketing rhetoric.
"Just wait and see, Huayi is going to use this film to recruit actresses."
"What's the meaning?"
"Both J's are confirmed to be in the role, and none of the female characters have been mentioned. You can guess what Huayi will do next." Zhang Yuanjun said with confidence.
"Don't Huayi have two soldiers? There are also Zhou Xun and other actresses. There aren't enough for him to choose from?"
"If the roles are assigned internally, how can he gain popularity? "Double J Project" will be like the bearded man who promoted Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu, constantly recruiting actors from all walks of life."
Zhang Yuanjun said: "However, according to Hollywood's usual style, Huayi should only have the right to recommend and not decide on casting. In the next few months, there will be good shows for this film."
After talking about other people’s gossip, Zhang Yuanjun listened to some of his studio’s plans:
"That's all the things happened before the New Year. Please do your best. I will give you a big red envelope during the New Year."
"Didn't you say you wanted to get a big office for us before? You said you wanted to rent out this whole row." But someone remembered Zhang Yuanjun's boast.
"I haven't forgotten," Zhang Yuanjun really remembered this matter. "When the accounts of "Famous" come down after the year and there is money in the account, I will take action. I have already inquired with the property management company. There are two companies next door to us. We won’t rent it next year. Then we will rent it for him, decorate it, and give everyone a better environment.”
"Isn't it an independent office building?"
"You must not let me take my time. Even if I am a donkey, you must let me rest." Zhang Yuanjun said, "Okay, today's meeting will be like this first. Let's break up."
