Chapter 190 Shen Wancheng's Publicity and Promotion Plan (2)
Li Shaojie is already somewhat famous in the United States, but he is far from being able to clear out the red carpet.
So when Li Shaojie and a foreign actress walked onto the red carpet, there were many other celebrities ahead of them posing for photos with the media as they walked.
But Li Shaojie was wearing a pure white suit today, while his female companion was wearing a rather revealing black dress. The two of them were dressed in a striking "black and white" combination, which was quite eye-catching.
As Li Shaojie walked to the middle of the red carpet and posed for photos with his female companion, some of his movements unintentionally revealed the watch on his wrist.
The dial, adorned with exquisite colored diamonds that transition from deep blue to black, reflects a dazzling light under a flash.
The watch, which was originally only occasionally visible, became quite conspicuous.
At this moment, Shen Wancheng suddenly missed the barrage comments from later generations.
With the live comments on, it's like watching TV with hundreds of thousands or even millions of other people. You can immediately see what everyone is discussing and know whether anyone noticed the watch when Li Shaojie made his first appearance wearing it, and what the reaction was.
Liang Muchao, who was watching TV and was unaware of the situation, suddenly blurted out a sentence.
"Li Shaojie's watch is so flashy, it's really stylish."
Then Liang Muchao patted Shen Yao on the shoulder and said, "Yao-mei, look at Li Shaojie, he's so old, yet he's still so immature. He must be trying to attract pretty girls. What kind of good person could he be?"
Shen Yao knocked Liang Muchao's hand away.
What they do is none of your business.
"It's none of my business. I just wanted to remind you not to get too fond of this guy. He might be surrounded by women."
Shen Yao looked at Liang Muchao and asked, "What does that have to do with me? And what does it have to do with you?"
Shen Yao's tone wasn't very pleasant, but Liang Muchao was in a great mood because of those words.
The fact that Shen Yao asked this question shows that she has absolutely no romantic feelings for Li Shaojie.
Liang Muchao said with a smile, "It's okay, it doesn't matter at all, let's keep watching."
The conversation between Liang Muchao and Shen Yao immediately put Shen Wancheng's mind at ease.
Unaware of the situation, Liang Muchao noticed the watch Li Shaojie was wearing, and other viewers in front of the television should have noticed it as well.
Once this was confirmed, Shen Wancheng's watch promotion plan had achieved its first step.
Li Shaojie certainly couldn't be the last star to enter; there were many other stars waiting to enter after him.
Shen Wancheng yawned, feeling drowsy, and told Gu Jinxing to wake her up when Li Shaojie was nominated for an award. Then she leaned against Gu Jinxing and closed her eyes to sleep.
"Ah Chao."
Gu Jinxing called Liang Muchao and gestured with his eyes for him to sit on the small sofa next to him.
After Liang Muchao sat down, Shen Yao moved aside a bit, and Gu Jinxing whispered to Shen Wancheng to let her lie down and sleep.
Shen Wancheng put her legs up on the sofa, rested her head on Gu Jinxing's lap, found a comfortable position, and fell asleep.
Aunt Liu had already gone to sleep. Shen Yao went back to her room, took out a blanket, and covered Shen Wancheng with it.
The remaining three people in the living room were also unfamiliar with foreign celebrities, so they found the show uninteresting.
Liang Muchao suggested they play cards to pass the time, but Gu Jinxing immediately picked up the documents that had been placed on the coffee table at some point and started reading them.
Liang Muchao found it boring, so he taught Shen Yao to play a finger-guessing game. The loser had to drink water, and Shen Yao seemed to enjoy it.
Two hours later, Shen Yao and Liang Muchao were both starting to doze off when it was finally time for the award ceremony to announce Li Wenjie's nomination.
Gu Jinxing woke Shen Wancheng up.
Shen Wancheng sat up, rubbed her eyes, and was still sleepy.
Gu Jinxing asked her if she wanted to wash her face to clear her head.
Shen Wancheng shook her head; she needed to continue sleeping and didn't need to wake up.
Like later film and television award ceremonies, this awards ceremony read out the nominations and then played a clip of the actors' highlights.
Li Shaojie was nominated for a supporting role he played in a Hollywood blockbuster.
This role is controversial. When the movie was released, several Hong Kong media outlets even published articles criticizing Li Shaojie for playing a role that damages the image of Hong Kong people in order to break into Hollywood.
Of course, these claims are exaggerated. In reality, Li Shaojie was just playing a pretentious nouveau riche from Hong Kong.
Shen Wancheng found it too coincidental that Li Shaojie had been nominated for this role.
To this end, Shen Wancheng also designed a reaction action for Li Shaojie if he won the award.
There are five nominees for Best Supporting Actor, and apart from Li Shaojie, they are all Hollywood stars.
It is worth mentioning that one of them is a Black actor.
This was in the 80s, when racial discrimination was still very serious in the United States. It was quite remarkable that this black man was able to get to this point.
So Shen Wancheng paid a closer look.
After the highlights of the five nominated actors were played, it was time to announce the winners.
Shen Yao, who had been sleepy, was now fully awake. She sat back down next to Shen Wancheng and nervously grabbed Shen Wancheng's hand.
"Sister, tell me quickly, Li Shaojie will definitely win the award."
Shen Wancheng was actually a little nervous. After all, she had invested ten million yuan in Li Shaojie, and it was a live TV broadcast. She had also given them advance notice, paid them, and told them what to focus on filming.
But Shen Wancheng was amused by Shen Yao's words.
“If I say he can win an award, he can win an award. If my mouth were really that accurate, I would never say that he could win an award. I would just say that I have become the richest man in Hong Kong Island, no, the richest man in Asia.”
Shen Yao blinked a few times and said seriously, "Isn't this just a matter of time?"
Um... So Shen Yao had so much confidence in her, even more than she did herself.
Shen Wancheng smiled and said, "Alright, I'll take your good wishes. Everything I say will come true. Li Shaojie will soon become the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor."
As soon as Shen Wancheng finished speaking, the sound from the television came on.
"The Oscar for Best Supporting Actor goes to the outstanding actor from Hong Kong Island, Siu Kit Li."
"Wow!"
Shen Yao jumped up from the sofa instantly, then bent down and hugged Shen Wancheng.
He exclaimed excitedly, "Sis, I knew it! Everything you say comes true, hahaha, half the credit for this award goes to what you just said!"
Shen Yao's words were obviously meant as a joke, but Shen Wancheng was still amused.
At this moment, Gu Jinxing suddenly leaned close to Shen Wancheng's ear and whispered a question.
"Honey, shouldn't you also say that our marriage is happy and will last a long time?"
Both Gu Jinxing's address and his words made Shen Wancheng's heart rate increase sharply.
The tips of her ears, touched by Gu Jinxing's lips, felt burning hot.
Shen Wancheng glared at Gu Jinxing and shoved him away.
On television, as the award presenter announced Li Shaojie's name, the live broadcast camera turned to Li Shaojie.
