Why Chen Hanwei doesn’t think a Will Smith moment will ever happen to him at the Star Awards
Chen Hanwei is known for having won multiple Star Awards for his acting talent and popularity, including the coveted All Time Favourite Artiste trophy. But just when you think there was no higher Star Awards echelon for him to ascend to, he goes and takes on the mammoth challenge of hosting the live show – solo.
เข้าเล่นสล็อตxo is an online game with a wide variety of game genres, various themes. There are many styles to choose from because there are top game camps that produce the game.
The annual ceremony is usually hosted by a pair of experienced comperes, but on Sunday (Apr 24), Chen will be commanding the stage all on his own, without so much as a shadow of Quan Yi Fong by his side. That means there won’t be anyone to help him out if he should draw a blank.
If that sounds like an intimidating thought, well, it scared Chen, too. The producers actually hatched a sneaky plan to get him to agree to do it.
“They lied to me, saying they wanted to me to attend a meeting to discuss the second season of (variety show) Away With My BFF,” he told CNA Lifestyle. “I wore a T-shirt and shorts to that meeting. And when I entered the room, there were four or five cameras there.” Unbeknownst to him, they were getting ready to film his reaction when they popped the question.
“I said, ‘How’s that possible?” he recalled. “In my 30 years in the industry, I’ve never hosted a live show. I don’t know how to hold cue cards or microphones on stage.
“They had to spend almost two hours persuading me to do it. In the end, I said yes, but I felt very conflicted because I wasn’t confident about how I was going to pull it off.”
The team even produced a contract for him to sign so that he couldn’t back out of the agreement, he laughed. “I said, ‘Okay, I’ll just sign ‘Chen’, so that if I change my mind, I can write ‘Chen Shu Cheng’ or something instead.”
He revealed that the production team said they’d picked him because they knew he had a good rapport with many of the other artistes. “They felt it would be like a big family party. They said they liked my style because it was quite real. And maybe they felt that, with my 30 years in the industry, I would be able to energise the other artistes.”
