Zhao Wei and Huang Xiaoming Showcase their Friendship as Both Win China’s Popular Film Awards

The Golden Rooster Hundred Flower Film Festival opened last weekend in Lanzhou China and this year the popular vote Hundred Flower Awards was up for grabs. It’s been yet another blockbuster year in Chinese entertainment with quite a few box office successes to crow about (har har). While the Golden Rooster Awards is the industry vote akin to the Oscars, the Hundred Flower Awards is the popular vote Golden Globes where fan favorites actually can walk home with prizes. The biggest upset of the night was Vicky Zhao Wei winning Best Director for her directorial debut film So Young starring Mark Chao and Han Geng, defeating director Wong Kar Wei and his masterpiece The Grandmaster. That movie didn’t go home empty handed as The Grandmaster won Best Picture and along with it leading lady Zhang Zi Yi took home Best Actress for the second time in a row.. Best Actor went to Zhao Wei’s real life college classmate BFF Huang Xiaoming won Best Actor for director Peter Chan‘s movie American Dreams in China.

The entertainment highlight of the night was Huang Xiaoming and Zhao Wei’s two decades long close friendship that has withstood her getting married and having a baby and him having a very steady girlfriend of his own. They arrived together to the ceremony and it was a rainy walk down the red carpet and ever the gentleman Huang Xiaoming carried the umbrella for his lady bestie the entire way. Huang Xiaoming performed a song during the show and pulled Zhao Wei in with a sultry dance followed by a for the camera smooch that caught her off guard but she gamely went along with it with her usual carefree charm. After the ceremony as the winners met the press backstage, Zhao Wei and Huang Xiaoming did their interview together. He followed behind as she walked on the stage first and then fixed the train of her dress, and at this point I’m sure a the female popular of China’s 1.3 billion people were screaming “Why don’t I have a drop-dead gorgeous male bestie like him in my life!”

  • I love her dress, her hairdo, her makeup...everything! She looks so perfect that evening! And yes, so envious of their long-time close friendship! I'd love them to romance each other, but somehow this BFF-ship contains even more magic!

  • Although unfamiliar with C-ent, their relationship from the stills above only reminds me of that of Faye Wong and Nic Tse. Seriously if the lady wasn't already married, I wouldn't be surprised the least bit that Huang would propose to her instead of Angelababy.

  • Zhao Wei's dress does not work for me, but she is charming as ever. And their two-decade friendship is sweet and really something. Not that there are no guy-girl besties in the world, but it is so rare, especially when both of them have their own partners.

    I love the friendship they share with each other now, but I am also curious if at some point, there was romantic feeling involved but they grow to stay beside each other as friends instead. Of course it is their own business, but man, that would be such a bitter-sweet story.

  • I really hope they can act in a movie or drama together bc she's already done 3 movies with her other guy bestie (chen kun) but none with hxm so I pray to the entertainment god to let them have a few future projects together n let then b the otp too plz
