There were thousands of people on site and millions watching the live stream. At this moment, everyone was shocked by what Qin Wei said.
Qiao Sixiao was also stunned. After looking at her for a long time, she finally smiled:
"Yes, it's mine. I earned it through my own efforts. This is the recognition from the judges and the audience for me and Jing Yao. I'm not ashamed to accept it, I deserve it!"
There was a round of applause from the audience.
"Let's go," said Qin Wei as she pulled Qiao Sixiao along.
"The award has been collected and the speech has been made. It's time to get off work and I'm hungry."
Qiao Sixiao followed her backstage while saying to her:
"To celebrate tonight, having dumplings is an exception. Don't think this opens the gate of sin and you can indulge yourself every day!"
"I know, don't affect my appetite..." said Qin Wei.
Qiao Sixiao handed the trophy to her and said:
"Where do you think I should put this trophy? How about putting it in your bedroom? When I get back, I'll customize a display case so that when you wake up every morning, you can see it. Seeing it first thing in the morning, you can sigh that having me as a roommate is so great."
Qin Wei didn't interrupt her performance and kept nodding to show her agreement:
"The base of the display case must be pure gold and the rest must be crystal to match your trophy... Hurry up, I just want to eat dumplings..."
...
Qin Wei: "..."
Reporter: "..."
Qiao Sixiao: "..."
Reporter: "..."
They were going to leave happily, but who would have thought there were so many reporters lying in ambush backstage, so many that the backstage lobby was full and many more lined up outside.
Once every two years, all entertainment reporters squatted here to interrogate various celebrities and artists with all kinds of tricky, bizarre questions. They swore not to let people go until they were satisfied.
Not only the staff passage, but also the front and back doors were the same.
This was the annual KPI.
The two of them were chatting and laughing just now. But when they saw these reporters, they frowned involuntarily.
The dumpling restaurant closed at 11:30 p.m.
"Congratulations Qiao on winning the award!"
The reporters first sent their blessings. Qiao Sixiao could only smile and say words of thanks.
Reporter: "What does Qiao most want to do after winning the award?"
With the reporter starting to ask questions, the flashing lights in front kept flashing. Qin Wei wanted to hide to the side, but there were too many people and nowhere to retreat, she could only be forced to frame with her.
"Go eat dinner, after working all day, I'm very hungry now," said Qiao Sixiao.
The subtext was——
[I'm hungry, I want to go eat first]
The articulate reporter immediately flattered:
"Not surprisingly from the top viewer! Her mentality is so stable!"
Reporter: "What are your next plans? It is said that the movie Cross Fire is casting. Does Qiao have any intention to venture into the film industry?"
Cross Fire?
Qiao Sixiao unconsciously glanced at Qin Wei before answering:
"It depends on the company's arrangements, but personally I don't have such plans for the moment."
Reporter: "Some netizens said Qiao was not humble at all when she said 'I'm not ashamed to accept it' just now. Qin Wei, what do you think?"
"Hmm?"
Qin Wei was wandering when the reporter suddenly called out her name, so she came back to her senses and looked at him.
The reporter said, "That is, netizens feel that what Qiao said just now was not humble enough, too arrogant. What do you think?"
"Not arrogant enough?" asked Qin Wei with a nod. "I also think she is too modest. Top Viewer is not something anyone can get. The criteria for judging are so complex - need to be in the top three TV ratings of the year, need the support rate of the judging panel to exceed a certain percentage, need almost unanimous recognition from the public review, and also layers of screening...
In the end, she doesn't boast about herself a little more, it's really a waste."
Many reporters looked at Qin Wei in bewilderment. Does this child have problems understanding? How is what she said different from what they thought?
Reporter: "Don't you think humility is a good quality?"
Qin Wei replied: "Yes, humility is a good quality. You should be humble during filming, daily life and study to make progress.
But you've already ranked first in the exam, and the college has sent you the admission notice. If you still say you don't deserve it, it should be someone else's, isn't that hypocritical?
It takes at least two months to film a TV series, up to a year, working day and night tirelessly shooting over and over again. Isn't it all in order to gain recognition from the public? Now that you've got it, you have to be proud!"
The reporters were even more unexpected of this answer, so someone took the opportunity to ask her:
"There are rumors that Qin Wei, you are going to act in a movie, is it to compete for the Best Actress award?"
This already had a provocative meaning. Qiao Sixiao was afraid that Qin Wei would say something outrageous again and was about to answer for her when she heard Qin Wei say:
"Well, if not to compete for the last place award?"
Qiao Sixiao: "..."
So arrogant!!
Seeing her so daring, the reporter's questions became more and more blunt:
"Then netizens ask, is this your ambition? Is it good to utter your ambition so bluntly? And if it's not realized, won't you feel very embarrassed to have said such things?"
Qin Wei rolled her eyes at him:
"Stop always saying 'netizens ask', have some backbone, okay?
Just say you asked. My answer to you is the same.
What's wrong with having ambition? I don't think this word is derogatory. Before I was 16, I said I wanted to be a singing and dancing idol. In my first year of high school I also said I wanted to be admitted to the top domestic university. So what if I didn't achieve those?
I worked hard for them, and I also got something in return. Best Actress and Top Viewer are goals. We run towards them, so why can't we show our ambition? There's nothing shameful about it."
Qiao Sixiao stuffed the trophy into her hand and clapped for her with both hands freed up.
Other reporters who agreed with her words also applauded.
Ambition is not an absolute pejorative term. Your talent and ambition are the power for you to break through the "glass ceiling".
...
I thought it would be over after saying this, but the reporters still did not give up:
"How does Qiao feel about Qin Wei winning the award? Will you feel regret for not winning the award yourself?"
Qin Wei: "No, it feels like my child has won an award. I feel proud."
Reporter: "!"
Reporter: "What exactly is your relationship? Netizens... No, I, I'm curious about this."
Qin Wei had already started massaging her temples.
Qiao Sixiao had no choice but to answer: "We are partners and very good friends..."
Reporter: "No romance at all?"
Qin Wei: "Do you want us to kiss and hug in front of the camera?"
Her tone was no longer properly answering questions, but snarling at reporters.
Many reporters also restrained a lot and just took selfies without asking questions.
The staff began to clear the way to allow artists who still had schedules to leave as soon as possible.
Qin Wei left quickly without much thought of waiting for Qiao Sixiao.
Qiao Sixiao could only walk while telling the reporters:
"She's too tired today. You've asked all the questions you wanted to ask. Please go easy on her and don't write nonsense, so we can see each other happily next time."
After saying that, Qiao Sixiao also walked away quickly, ignoring whatever other questions people kept asking, only smiling without any more responses.
After getting into the car and leaving first, Li Yao in the passenger seat looked very unhappy seeing Qin Wei get in the car, so he said to her:
"I'm really sorry that I didn't come to rescue you. Mainly because..."
there were too many people and I got squeezed out so I couldn't get in...
But before Li Yao could finish, he heard a supercar honking behind them. Li Yao told Little Tang to stop at the roadside, then said to Qin Wei:
"You provoked those media people today. It's done. I know I can't persuade you.
"As for whether you'll get flamed for it, it's mystical. When people dislike you, being humble and tolerant makes you a hypocrite. When people like you, provoking heaven and earth makes you straightforward.
"The TV series will open points on Dou Pod tomorrow. There will be a live stream beforehand, time not quite confirmed but we'll notify you in advance.
"It's just the leading creators video conferencing online kind of thing, in the hotel room is fine. If you need us to come over, we'll rush over immediately. If you..."
"No need," said Qin Wei, cutting him off.
"Oh..." said Li Yao.
