Tian Jingyao thought to herself that today’s Eagle Film Awards would definitely got better than she had expected.
Tian Guang was also interested in the host’s words and was happy to cooperate with the organizers’ arrangements. He smiled and said, “I really have to thank everyone for your kindness.”
“Alright, then let’s invite our mysterious guest to the event location to personally present the award to Director Tian! Welcome!” the host said loudly.
Tian Guang and everyone else looked backstage.
All the cameras were pointed backstage. They just wanted to know what kind of influential guest this was to create such a huge scene.
Tian Guang was also wondering who this person was.
“We welcome Director Cheng Chaopin!”
Everyone at the event location was indeed very surprised by the host’s words.
Everyone knew that Director Cheng hadn’t shown his face for several years because of his illness. Those who visited him knew that he was already delirious. He couldn’t even take care of himself, let alone attend events.
What was going on now?
A trace of panic flashed across Tian Guang’s face, but it didn’t even last a second. He was relieved. Alzheimer’s was an illness that couldn’t be cured. Even if the man became a transcendent-grade martial artist, he would still be no better than a disabled man.
Someone pushed a wheelchair out of the backstage area. An old man was sitting in the wheelchair. He looked a little haggard, and his hair was full of white. From his eyes, it did not seem like his mind was present.
It was indeed a shocking sight.
He was different from his energetic appearance a few years ago. He had lost his luster.
“Welcome, Director Cheng!”
Director Cheng wore a headset. He said forcefully, “Thank you.”
Everyone was even more surprised. They did not expect his condition to improve one day. He could even answer freely.
“Hello, Director Cheng.” Tian Guang suppressed the doubts and worries in his heart, greeting him warmly.
“Tian Guang, I’m here today to give you a big gift.” Cheng Tong spoke very slowly, but every word was clear. To outsiders, his voice sounded weak, but to Tian Guang, it sounded like a thunderclap.
“The gift that Director Cheng prepared for Director Tian is a video. Everyone, please direct your attention to the big screen.”
Everyone thought to themselves that although Director Cheng had recovered a little, it was still a little difficult for him to speak. Playing a video was a good idea.
Qiao Weiyang looked at the stage indifferently with a calm expression. When her gaze met Cheng Chaopin’s, she revealed a knowing smile.
The video began to play.
Qiao Weiyang in the video.
She was as thin as a match, and she seemed to have lost 20 to 30 kilograms compared to her usual weight. Her cheeks were sunken, and her hair was sparse, but it could be seen that the Qiao Weiyang in the video was very young. She no longer looked like this.
She was standing on the stage and began to say a lot of lines. “This is an ordeal I deserve. I never complain, but why should I be blamed for something I didn’t do? Why should I be the one taking responsibility for other people’s mistakes?”
As she spoke, people began to be surprised. “Aren’t these the lines from Director Tian’s movie, Glorious Years? This character is very similar to the character played by Tian Jingyao.”
“Looking at Qiao Weiyang, this must’ve been when she was slandered for taking drugs five years ago, right?”
“So what this means is…”
“Anyway, it can’t be the recent Qiao Weiyang.”
Tian Guang’s expression changed visibly. Even though he knew that it was a live broadcast and he could not show any signs of surrender, he still could not control his expression.
After this scene, there was another scene. It was also a scene of Qiao Weiyang auditioning.
In this scene, Qiao Weiyang was not as thin. Instead, she had a little baby fat. Those who were familiar with Qiao Weiyang knew that this was before she temporarily left the industry. At that time, she was probably only 18 or 19 years old. Her face was slightly chubby, and her fans said she was very cute.
“Why is Qiao Weiyang in this scene too? Isn’t this another one of Tian Jingyao’s roles?”
“What the hell is going on?”
Qiao Weiyang sat below the stage. Her seat was originally very far back, and because the spotlight was on tonight’s award-winning guests, the spotlight was rarely on her.
But at this moment, everyone couldn’t help but turn around to look at her expression.
Qiao Weiyang calmly received the gazes from all sides and looked at the stage calmly.
The lights shone on her face, and the cameras moved in her direction. Her calm and flawless face appeared in the live-stream.
Tian Jingyao couldn’t help but turn around to look at Qiao Weiyang.
As Qiao Weiyang’s two audition scenes ended, the video ended as well.
Only then did Director Cheng say slowly, “Everyone, Tian Guang’s award-winning Glorious Years tonight and his previously praised movie, Chronicles, are all works that I created and was previously preparing for. However, I didn’t have time to film them because of my illness.”
With this sentence, all the mysteries were revealed.
There was an uproar.
“I see.”
“I don’t think Director Cheng is lying!”
“Director Cheng has been famous for many years. There’s no need to lie like this.”
“Previously, I felt that Tian Guang’s filming technique and camera handling were very similar to Director Cheng’s. I just thought that because he was once Director Cheng’s assistant, it was inevitable for him to be influenced. I didn’t expect him to be so direct in copying.”
“This is too much! Previously, Tian Guang even said that Cheng Yijia copied him.”
“No wonder. Director Cheng has been famous for many years and is known as the best director. On the other hand, Tian Guang only slowly stood out after Director Cheng fell sick.”
Tian Guang stood on the stage. The fame he enjoyed previously had turned into disdain.
“Director Cheng, don’t talk nonsense. I wrote the scripts for my movies myself, and I’m the director.” Tian Guang defended himself, but that was not what his expression said.
The host was obviously a little stunned and did not know what to say.
Director Cheng didn’t argue with Tian Guang. He said slowly, “After I got sick, I didn’t know anything. My mind wasn’t too clear. Fortunately, I was able to regain some consciousness this time. My work materials are all locked in a bank safe, so no one knows about them. When I opened the safe this time, my handwritten script, my paintings, the content of my discussion with Qiao Weiyang, and Qiao Weiyang’s audition footage were all inside. The bank can testify that my safe hasn’t been touched for five years. This content can also prove that Qiao Weiyang was slandered for taking drugs back then.”
