Qi Hui curled his lip; these two countries that fought each other to the death were certainly united when it came to being arrogant and rude!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just those foreigners; the people from Hong Kong were the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the host introduce her, she merely stood up, expressionless, and sat back down without moving a muscle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui shook his head. It was quite good; this wasn't the spineless Hong Kong of a few years later that would mobilize the entire territory to find a stolen shared bike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keep it up, keep it going.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bored to the point of discomfort, Qi Hui took out his phone to play, first logging into QQ to check messages, then preparing to play Snake and Tetris.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Current mobile phones could access the internet, but data was expensive and the web pages were difficult to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having long been accustomed to smartphones, he couldn't use this, so he simply didn't look for trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snake and Tetris were still more suitable for Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, Senior Brother, I see you.\" Jing Tian, holding her computer, sent a message to Qi Hui, along with a screenshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a fleeting shot, somewhat blurry, but Qi Hui was visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience seating at the Magnolia Awards venue was dim, but a beam of light shone upward from below Qi Hui, making him look a bit like a villain in a horror movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the brightest person in the entire venue, plus the fact that Jing Tian was looking for him on purpose, she quickly captured this image.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, Qi Hui's feature phone couldn't view images.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more unfortunately, the production team seemed to have discovered Qi Hui's anomaly, and the camera never swept that way again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really? The lighting is so bad, and you can still see me?\" Qi Hui asked in surprise, replying immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know he had already been exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because you're playing on your phone ┏(゜ω゜)=☞\" Jing Tian replied, adding an emoticon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the awards site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy crap, she really could see... Qi Hui looked left and right. Jing Tian's words gave him the feeling of being watched, and he got goosebumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Qi Hui soon realized the reason; it must have been the phone's light, which made it easy to attract others' attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he didn't intend to change it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, he was just part of the atmosphere group; the awards had nothing to do with him, so what else was he supposed to do if not play on his phone?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have such good eyes to be able to spot me like that...\" Qi Hui remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not at all, it's just that the computer screen is clear!\" Jing Tian replied immediately: \"Foreign-made high-tech products are much better than domestic ones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui was greatly shocked: \"Which company's product is this good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that the 4090ti came out early?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know, I don't pay attention to these things,\" Jing Tian replied: \"Do you want one? I can give you one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need...\" Qi Hui's mouth twitched. The sudden generosity made him feel somewhat uncomfortable: \"Don't be like this, people will say I'm being kept by a rich woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Tian blushed: \"Pah, what rich woman, that sounds terrible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Qi Hui and Jing Tian were chatting heatedly, the awards activities on stage were also proceeding heatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the awards for the animation category were presented, with several foreign animations winning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next were the awards for the documentary category, and another string of unheard-of documentaries won, two of which were foreign documentaries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, let alone Qi Hui, even Jiang Wei, Sun Honglei, and the others felt so bored they were getting sleepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only because it was a live broadcast that they weren't already yawning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, after the documentary category ended, it was finally time for the film and television awards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The many producers, actors, and directors who were feeling sleepy were suddenly energized and no longer tired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among so many television dramas, I think what the audience is very concerned about must be the television series *Lurk*.\" On stage, the female host mentioned *Lurk* as soon as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh, I remember that *Lurk* viewers have this kind of aftereffect,\" the male host took over the conversation and continued: \"That is, whenever they see a chicken coop, they want to reach in...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Offstage, Kang Honglei, Duan Yihong, and other members of *My Chief and My Regiment* crew had their expressions change slightly; a bad feeling emerged in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, they're pointing at *Lurk* right from the start?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suddenly I don't have any expectations; *Lurk* will likely win.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bullshit, *Chief* is so powerful, how could it not have a fighting chance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the internet, the live broadcast comments were rampant, with supporters from both sides engaging in high-intensity arguments, neither able to convince the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, who said *Lurk* is guaranteed to win? *Wang Gui and Anna* hasn't even made a move yet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is that? How dare you bark here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that trash from Teng Huatao even worth bringing out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pah! Trash!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blind *Wang Gui and Anna* instantly drew fire from *Lurk* and *Chief*, and was suppressed into silence in a few moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, a bunch of trash, so what if you argue? The result is already out, you just don't know it yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person left a vicious comment and then went silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he said, the results were already out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One award after another was revealed: Best Screenwriter, Best Television Drama Gold Award, and Best Actor—all went to *Lurk*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Best Director was not Jiang Wei, but Teng Huatao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Wei and Sun Honglei went up to receive awards one after another, and then the entire group went up together to receive the Best Television Drama Gold Award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for *My Chief and My Regiment*, it had few gains in these heavyweight awards, only winning a few in the audience-voted categories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this award was being presented, Qi Hui looked up twice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't because he was thinking \"I can replace him,\" but because the presenter was Gao Yuanyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, she was dressed in a black dress with short hair, looking quite a bit like a widow... *cough cough*, Qi Hui couldn't help but take a few extra looks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On stage, Sun Honglei was giving his acceptance speech: \"Actually... hahaha, my eyes really aren't that small...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bigger than Duan Yihong's, right?\" The female host kept stoking the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most powerful competitors for the Best Actor award were Sun Honglei and Duan Yihong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the female host's provocation, Sun Honglei couldn't control the smile on his face, but he didn't lose his mind; he asked for a microphone and chatted about his and Duan Yihong's time in school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them came out of the Central Academy of Drama; Duan Yihong was the senior, and Sun Honglei was the junior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, the junior had beaten the senior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Honglei held it together, but not entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The joy on his face was impossible to control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hui looked for a moment, then went back to chatting with Jing Tian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human joys and sorrows are not connected; he only felt they were noisy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The awards ceremony continued and soon entered its final stages. Qi Hui counted the time, looking forward to the moment the gala ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing was like a school leader's speech—extremely boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The next award is also an audience-voted award: Most Potential Actor Award.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's take a look at which works' actors are on the list.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the big screen, the images changed, and scene after scene appeared: Zu Feng from *Lurk*, Wang Dazhi from *My Chief and My Regiment*, Huang Zongze from *Jewel's Splendor*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the last one: Qi Hui from *Lurk*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let us reveal the answer: The winner of the Most Potential Actor Award is: *Jewel's Splendor*'s Huang Zongze...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And, *Lurk*'s Qi Hui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the voice fell, the lights came on, and beams of light hit both Huang Zongze and Qi Hui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having been prepared, Huang Zongze smiled and nodded, gentle and refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Qi Hui was holding his phone, completely stunned, looking up blankly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's going on here?\u003C\u002Fp>",1526,"2026-06-21T03:10:06.472Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3a892d7c9d19c2aa6ec873f2b1306d48858e448adcfa695647daee751d39c4c3","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-47","starting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-chapter-45",202,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-from-hong-shixian-a-chinese-entertainme-cover.jpg"]
