Chapter 384: Aging Beauties and Sister Yuanyuan Who Wants a Child

The Weibo Night is being hyped up quite a lot this year, because among the three major Weibo platforms, Sina is already the undisputed leader.

Therefore, a considerable number of industry insiders have come to show their support for this grand event.

When Wei Jin arrived at the World Trade Center with Gao Yuanyuan, the scene was already surrounded by media reporters and fans.

After a simple media interview, Wei Jin quickly pulled Gao Yuanyuan toward the venue.

One must know that it is currently the dead of winter, and the wind in Beijing cuts like a knife.

Gao Yuanyuan is wearing a high-fashion black sleeveless long dress today, paired with a pair of white high heels; it looks good, but it is not very cold-resistant.

Although she is wearing heat patches, Da Meiyuan is still frozen with her pretty face flushed red; seeing this, Wei Jin hurriedly wrapped his overcoat around her.

Fortunately, after entering the venue, warmth soon washed over them.

"Hmph, the organizers still have a bit of humanity."

As a well-known figure in the industry, as soon as Wei Jin and Gao Yuanyuan entered the venue, staff members came to guide them.

Weibo Night is a comprehensive awards ceremony for the whole of society, and the entertainment industry is only a part of it, so the various areas are clearly demarcated.

Under the guidance of the staff, Wei Jin and Gao Yuanyuan arrived at the entertainment industry guest area, and sure enough, they saw many familiar faces.

"Senior brother, you're here."

Yang Mi is wearing a white sleeveless knee-length slim-fit fringe dress today, paired with dark pink high heels; with her curves, her figure looks exceptionally alluring, and paired with her big wavy hair, the temptation is truly maxed out.

She flashed a sweet smile at Wei Jin, then looked at Gao Yuanyuan.

"Yuan Yuanjie, hello."

"Hello."

Gao Yuanyuan only replied in a lukewarm manner; a woman's intuition told her that this fierce, long-legged woman before her was definitely coveting her man, so naturally, she wouldn't give her a pleasant look.

"Mm, Mimi, congratulations in advance."

Wei Jin smiled and congratulated Yang Mi.

The awards for Weibo Night are usually selected based on comprehensive factors such as the activity and influence of Weibo users over the past year.

In the previously announced Weibo Annual Most Influential TV Actress list, Yang Mi and Yang Rong were the hot favorites for the competition.

The former became popular across the country thanks to Sword Snow Stride, while the latter sparked a viewership frenzy across the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan with Empresses in the Palace.

Both are artists signed to Starry Sky Culture; Wei Jin did not interfere with the awards, but Cao Guowei had already disclosed that Yang Mi would be the winner this time.

Wei Jin was not surprised by this result; after all, Sword Snow Stride aired earlier and had a longer fermentation time, plus the development of the game of the same name by Shanhe Technology, its popularity was truly too high.

However, upon hearing Wei Jin's words, Yang Mi was overjoyed, as she did not know who the award belonged to.

Although she really wanted to be alone with Wei Jin, seeing Gao Yuanyuan's protective stance, Yang Mi extinguished this thought; after saying a few polite words, she took her leave, as her seat was not here.

Watching Yang Mi leave with a wiggle of her hips, Gao Yuanyuan's tone was a bit sour.

"This Yang Mi's figure is actually quite good."

Wei Jin shook his head, held Da Meiyuan's small hand, and teased her.

"Eh? Whose vinegar jar has been overturned here?"

Honestly, among the women, Da Meiyuan is the most prone to jealousy, but Wei Jin just happens to like this side of her; this is also one of the joys of life.

After all, they were in a public place, and there were cameras in the venue at all times, so Gao Yuanyuan could only roll her eyes at the man to maintain her lady-like persona.

Before long, familiar artists in the industry came over to greet them, and Tang Yan, whom they had met once before, was among them.

Tang Yan is wearing a tube-top short dress today, showing off her long legs, but the semi-enclosed scarf extending from the hem of the skirt adds a touch of charm to her, making her look like a mermaid.

Coming along with Tang Yan was her Agent—Ji Jingru, who is quite famous in the industry.

This woman debuted as a Singer in Hong Kong, but unfortunately, she didn't make a name for herself and switched careers to become an Agent.

Her experience is somewhat similar to that of the mature beauty Huo Wenxi from Emperor Group.

It's just that the current Huo Wenxi is the apple of Boss Yang's eye and also the spokesperson for Emperor Group in Mainland China; she holds a wealth of resources and is someone who can chat and laugh with many big shots in the industry.

By comparison, Ji Jingru is far inferior.

Therefore, when facing Wei Jin, Ji Jingru's attitude was exceptionally respectful; after exchanging greetings, she took Tang Yan and left.

"Sister Ji, why didn't we stay a little longer?"

Tang Yan was a bit puzzled; it was a rare opportunity to meet Wei Jin, wasn't it agreed that they would try to get close to him?

"Tangtang, if you want to talk about business, you have to find a suitable place, right? And bringing it up like that would seem very abrupt; we haven't had any interaction with Shanhe Media."

"Interaction?"

Two figures appeared in Tang Yan's mind, and she became thoughtful.

The process of Weibo Night is very simple; it is purely an awards ceremony.

Although it was simple, with a total of more than thirty awards, plus a small number of interspersed performances, three hours passed by the end of the ceremony.

Wei Jin sat at the scene yawning repeatedly; he really regretted it a bit, but fortunately, the results were satisfying to him.

This year's Weibo Night, Shanhe Media was undoubtedly the biggest winner.

Not only did they bag the Weibo Annual Most Popular Film Brand, but Wei Jin also took home the Weibo Annual Most Influential Director.

In addition, the Weibo Annual Most Popular Film was also won by Love is Not Blind.

It has to be said that this low-budget film is truly popular; although the film has already finished its theatrical run, classic breakup quotes from the movie can still be seen everywhere on Weibo.

This is also the reason why Love is Not Blind was able to defeat hot competitors including Thieves and Mojin: The Lost Legend to win the big prize; after all, it wasn't competing on box office, but on popularity on Weibo.

The remaining Weibo King and Weibo Queen were all artists from Starry Sky Culture; the former was taken by Qiao Zhenyu, and the latter by Yang Mi.

Two major awards in a row made Yang Mi so happy she almost fainted; as soon as the event ended, she posted on Weibo.

"Grateful to the company, grateful for everything; in the future, I will continue to work hard and keep bringing new works to film fans and followers."

The image attached to this Weibo post was of the two trophies; afterwards, Yang Mi seemed to feel it wasn't enough and posted another Weibo, this time for promotion.

"Beijing Meets Seattle is about to start filming; I will head to Seattle in three days. I believe this film's box office will definitely surpass the 518 million of Love is Not Blind. Please continue to support me, thank you!"

As an artist of Starry Sky Culture, Zhang Xu naturally wouldn't miss such a thing; he directly used the company account to post a congratulatory message, and all the artists under the banner followed suit, with quite a fast speed.

"Little Jin, the company's artists are quite harmonious, aren't they? Is there no competition?"

Back at home, Gao Yuanyuan flipped through Weibo on her phone and clicked her tongue in wonder.

One had to know, the entertainment industry did not raise kind-hearted people; the original battle between the top actress and top actor at Huayi had truly opened the eyes of the industry.

Other talent agencies were, more or less, filled with factions, their internal relationships incomparably complex; it was not uncommon for artists in the same company to drag each other down. It was truly rare to see one as harmonious and friendly as Starry Sky Culture.

"How could there be no competition? I can only say that the company's resources are still quite abundant right now, so everyone is maintaining a superficial harmony."

Wei Jin explained the situation; where there are people, there is a world of conflict. Competition for resources was unavoidable, but as long as it was kept within a reasonable range, he couldn't be bothered to care.

This was also the reason why he had intentionally controlled artist management all these years.

Without the resources to promote people, the more artists one signed, the more serious the internal conflicts would become.

"I see. By the way..."

Just as Gao Yuanyuan was about to say something, Wei Jin's phone rang, so she stopped speaking.

Looking at the caller ID on his phone, Wei Jin was a bit surprised. After all, the contract was supposed to be signed in a few days; could there be some new trouble at this moment? "Hello, Director Zhang?"

"President Wei, there is a matter..."

Listening to Zhang Yimou's account, Wei Jin basically understood.

To tell the truth, when it came to coaching actresses, Zhang Yimou was truly formidable; every actress who had passed through his hands had her own shining points.

But the so-called success brought by a halo is also the failure brought by a halo; the identity of a "Mou Girl" was, in a sense, also a shackle for these actresses.

Even Gong Li had spent many years before she successfully tore off the "Mou Girl" label and evolved into Gong Huang.

Even Zhang Ziyi had not been able to completely shake off the "Mou Girl" label to this day.

Therefore, purely from the perspective of artist management, accepting the artists from New Picture was not a very good choice.

After all, these few had great fame and high starting points; once signed, the company would have to provide matching resources, which was far less cost-effective than cultivating newcomers.

But fortunately, Zhang Yimou did not give Wei Jin a hard time; only Ni Ni needed to have her contract terminated.

In this way, the mere tens of millions in breach-of-contract fees could basically be recouped through Ni Ni's subsequent development, so there wouldn't be much of a loss.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Jin gave his answer.

"Director Zhang, leave this matter to me."

"Then, thank you, President Wei. I have really caused you trouble."

Zhang Yimou's voice carried gratitude; after all, the original agreement did not include these messy affairs.

"Director Zhang is too polite. In a few days, we will be one family. Don't worry, I will handle it well."

Just after hanging up the phone, Wei Jin saw Da Meiyuan cast a scrutinizing gaze at him.

"Little Jin, are you going to 'ransom' that Ni Ni?"

Facing Da Meiyuan's inquiry, Wei Jin did not panic at all; he pulled her to sit on his lap and began to take control of the situation.

"Ni Ni can only be considered a bonus for signing with Director Zhang; her subsequent development will still depend on herself."

Wei Jin was telling the truth; even if he bought out Ni Ni's contract, he did not intend to give her special training. He would just let her compete freely with the rest of the company's artists. As for whether Zhang Yimou would look after her, that was a different matter.

But Gao Yuanyuan's focus was not there; her beautiful eyes scanned the man's face suspiciously, as if trying to judge the truth.

"But what if she wants to take a shortcut? Such a charming and seductive woman, aren't you tempted?"

"..."

This was a question Wei Jin really found hard to answer.

Without a doubt, Ni Ni's appearance still fit his aesthetic. If this girl really wanted to pursue "progress," could he refuse? Of course not!

But could such things be said in front of Gao Yuanyuan?

Of course not! So Wei Jin's hands began to wander restlessly; at times like this, shifting the focus was the best policy.

"Yuan Yuanjie, your skin is truly beautiful..."

Some things do not need explanation; action can solve all troubles.

In order to make Gao Yuanyuan completely forget about this matter, Wei Jin used twelve points of effort.

After more than an hour, Da Meiyuan was limp and listless, lying lazily in Wei Jin's arms.

In control of the situation, Wei Jin was very proud; if a woman is disobedient, just "spanking" her a few more times will fix it.

"By the way, Yuan Yuanjie, what was it you wanted to say earlier?"

Gao Yuanyuan, who seemed to have just come back to her senses, snuggled against Wei Jin's body, then raised her head to look at the man, her tone filled with emotion.

"Little Jin, do you think that one day when I am old, you will still love me like this?"

Although Da Meiyuan's train of thought gave him a headache, Wei Jin still reached out to stroke the beauty's pretty face and said sincerely: "Of course, I will love you forever. But Yuan Yuanjie, being with me, you will always stay this young."

Wei Jin was telling the truth; over these years, under his tireless irrigation, the women around him were all well-nourished. Gao Yuanyuan's worry was truly a bit redundant; at least for the next twenty years, she wouldn't need to consider this problem.

The man's sweet words were very effective on Gao Yuanyuan; she hugged Wei Jin's neck even tighter, but her anxiety about aging was not so easily dispelled.

"Little Jin, do you know? I felt so sad tonight when I saw Lin Qingxia."

Hearing this, Wei Jin was stunned for a moment; so that was the crux of the matter.

At tonight's Weibo Night, Lin Qingxia had won the Most Favored Crossover Figure of the Year award.

It was just that the beauty who was once peerlessly elegant was now a middle-aged woman, making one unable to help but sigh that youth passes easily and beauty fades quickly.

Da Meiyuan was likely speaking from her own feelings, right? Wei Jin immediately hugged the beauty tighter, as if to give her strength.

"Yuan Yuanjie, birth, aging, sickness, and death are the unchanging themes. The only thing I can do is to always stay by your side; we will never be separated..."

The man's sincere promise was like a hot spring, making Gao Yuanyuan feel incomparably warm. The matter she had been hesitating about for a long time was decided at this moment.

"Little Jin, let's have a child."

Wei Jin looked down at the beauty in his arms, feeling a bit uncertain.

"Yuan Yuanjie, are you serious?"

"Mm."

Having spent two years with Dudu, Gao Yuanyuan discovered that she still liked children very much; since she had already decided to join hands with Wei Jin for the rest of her life, and she was already nearly 33 years old, it was time to have a child.

"Alright, Yuan Yuanjie, then let's start from tonight."

Since the beauty had decided, Wei Jin naturally had no objections, and immediately turned over to press down on her.

"But I am on my safe... mmm."
