Chapter 598: Chapter 598

Many stars participating in "World" had come to Berlin with the crew, so there was no lack of handsome men and beautiful women, but among all the actors, Sheng Yan was the most conspicuous.

In Huaxia, some netizens were staying up all night to watch the Berlin live-stream and naturally, they saw Sheng Yan.

The imagination of the netizens was indeed endless.

It was unknown which talented netizen thought that Sheng Yan’s and He Jinxia’s outfits matched well, so they used technology to crop their faces and clothes and put them against a red background.

Then a stamp was applied to this background, and the photo was placed into another album. In less than ten minutes, a marriage certificate came out clanging!

Old-time Warmth: [I’ve always been secretly obsessed with the ’Emperor Sheng and Fat Emperor’ CP, but unfortunately, the two of them rarely collaborate on movies. It’s been hard to find new material, and I didn’t expect that their joint appearance at the Berlin Film Festival would be such a pleasant surprise. They truly match perfectly!]

Under this Weibo post, the blogger also specifically posted the processed marriage photo of "Emperor Sheng X Fat Emperor," and intentionally commented:

[Keep the cuteness within our circle, please do not randomly share the picture, as it may cause discomfort to others.]

Unfortunately, her words were as if she hadn’t spoken at all since everyone else chose to ignore them.

Because "Old-time Warmth" has been a fan of Fat Emperor since his debut, even when he gained weight in his singing group, she never gave up. You could say she’s one of the veteran fans, so her Weibo still attracts a lot of Timekeeper’s attention.

As soon as the "marriage photo" was released, it was immediately captured by the netizens staying up late. Among them were Timekeepers and fans of other celebrities, and even those secretly shipping the Sheng Yan and He Jinxia CP!

As a result, the netizens who scrolled to the message were all boiling with excitement! Follow current novels on novel·fiɾe·net

Netizens were forwarding, commenting, and spreading... In just under half an hour, it attracted the attention of marketing accounts.

Large-scale marketing accounts, not wanting to miss out on viral news, have personnel monitoring the news at night. Unlike the fans who were overjoyed, the personnel faced a real dilemma upon seeing the nearly "authentic-looking" marriage photo of the two stars.

If it were other celebrities with He Jinxia in such marriage photos, they’d be more than willing to post and tease about it. But when it involved Sheng Yan, it was a different story entirely.

At the level of a star like Sheng Yan, what he represents isn’t just the Huaxia Entertainment Industry, but the entire Huaxia, one might say he is one of the faces of Huaxia’s image promoted internationally!

Not to mention, in the circle, Sheng Yan’s identity isn’t a secret; besides being a star, he is also the president of an entertainment company. If they were to publish these messages and anger Sheng Yan, it could mean instant shutdown for them.

To post, or not to post, that was the question.

Some marketing accounts, having a good personal relationship with Zhang Ming, didn’t want to miss what seemed like the potential next hot topic, so they contacted Zhang Ming.

At the Berlin Film Festival, the host first announced some lesser important awards, such as Best Original Score, Best Costume Design, Best Voice Acting, and so forth.

After these less significant awards were announced, they started to present sectional awards, including the "New Generation Special Showcase Crystal Bear" for which "Eighteen Years Old Sky" was nominated, slotted in the middle of the sectional awards.

Amidst the host’s jests and jokes, the sectional awards were gradually unveiled.

It was then that Zhang Ming received a phone call.

The venue was noisy, making it inconvenient to take calls. Unless it was an important call from the company, Zhang Ming would choose not to answer it, so he didn’t hesitate to hang up.

Shortly after, his phone vibrated again with a message. Zhang Ming looked down, opened the photo, and his eyes bulged, nearly scared to death!

Damn, the moment he saw the picture, he really had the illusion that He Jinxia and Sheng Yan had already gotten their marriage certificate!!

In Huaxia, there are two ways of taking wedding photos: one is with modern attire, and the other is with ancient attire.

As a great nation that reveres ancient culture, every aspect of people’s lives exudes an air of antiquity.

He Jinxia and Sheng Yan’s ancient costumes were almost too fitting, scaring Zhang Ming into almost thinking the two had secretly gotten their marriage licenses behind his back. Luckily, he had read the news before opening the photo and knew that it was edited by netizens.

Gossip media maven Zhao Yixin: "Brother Zhang, can we release this wedding photo?"

Gossip media maven Zhao Yixin: "Brother Zhang, this photo has a lot of hot spots, releasing it could boost the popularity of both stars!"

Gossip media maven Zhao Yixin: "Brother Zhang, as long as the content is well written, everyone is just looking for something fresh to gawk at, they won’t think too much, wow!"

Zhang Ming felt like he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood on his phone screen!

They won’t overthink, they won’t overthink my ass!

Rather than wanting to publish this marriage photo to attract traffic, it seemed more like the person in charge of this marketing account was using the situation to gauge his reaction, to see if He Jinxia had a very good relationship with Sheng Yan, so she wouldn’t mind being gossiped about.

Or perhaps to see if their relationship was just so-so, thus staving off any gossip.

Or even, through this issue, to cautiously probe whether Sheng Yan or He Jinxia already had other halves, making it impossible to release such a photo.

Either way, Zhang Ming decided that this "wedding photo" absolutely could not be released.

Zhang Ming: "Can’t release [eyeroll]"

Gossip media maven Zhao Yixin: "Does Emperor Sheng disagree?"

Zhang Ming chose to ignore this question.

Gossip media maven Zhao Yixin: "Is there an issue on He Jinxia’s side?"

Zhang Ming had already blacked out his phone, looking up at the big screen at the venue.

The phone kept buzzing non-stop. During the break, the music and dance performance began, and Zhang Ming moved slightly in rhythm with the music and the vibration of the phone—

Hey, not bad, this pairing works!

After the music and dance performance, it was time to present the Crystal Bear Award for the New Generation Special Exhibition Unit!

Male host: "Last year was indeed a year full of talent, giving birth to many talented new directors."

Female host: "In Huaxia, there’s a saying, ’For every era, there are new talents who excel’, and the new directors from last year were all excellent. The future of the film industry needs their hard work, continuous innovation and reform!

New and old concepts clash and ignite to give birth to one astounding idea after another!"

The male host said with fervor, "I am honored to live in this era, to witness so many directors’ incredible works, and I’m also honored to award these new generation directors.

Let me see, wow! I must say, this batch of new generation actors is the largest in Berlin in nearly a decade, with six works nominated!"
