thus, she wasn’t very adept at enlivening the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, this responsibility fell upon Bai Ze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, on the other hand, stood there with ease most of the time, occasionally making a few incisive remarks that drew a round of applause.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was praising Yan Weiyang for her high EQ and cultivation; she didn’t talk much but always hit the nail on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The award ceremony was being broadcast live, and at that moment, the streaming platform was already flooded with messages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my God, my Goddess Weiyang is so beautiful!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And she speaks so gracefully, just like a lady from a noble family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, such a talented woman, her words are always so meaningful…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Social media my Sister Yan, beautiful and not overly talkative…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Weiyang’s fame was indeed too great; as long as she was present, everyone else was eclipsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Bai Ze, who was also the host, seemed quite inconsequential by comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, however, it was he who was the most energetic in livening up the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the ambiance was almost at its peak, they started to move into the award presentation segment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first category was for Best Screenplay nominations, comprising five films: “Republic of China Graceful Hero,” “Despair,” “War Machine,” “Three Kingdoms Chaos,” and “Bodyguard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main clips from these five films appeared on the big screen, accompanied by a narrator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Weibao’s mind was somewhat scattered and didn’t pay much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t until Yan Weiyang announced that this year’s Golden Ying for Best Screenplay was “Despair,” and Xu Jiayang hugged her, that she came back to her senses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she went to embrace the other crew members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The award for Best Screenplay was to be received by the screenwriter;
