| Zhou Ye, Wang Yuwen and Chen Xingxu’s Candid Moment Breaks Tencent All-Star Night (Photo: Weibo) |
One of the most unexpectedly funny moments at Tencent Video All-Star Night 2025 didn’t come from the stage — it happened right in the audience.
On 21 December in Haikou, Zhou Ye and Wang Yuwen were caught mid-conversation at Wuyuan River Sports Centre, leaning forward and chatting animatedly across Chen Xingxu, who was seated between them. The twist? They only realised after a while that Chen Xingxu could hear every word.
That delayed realisation sparked instant laughter from all three, with Chen Xingxu glancing left and right before fully clocking what was going on.

Instead of looking awkward, he leaned straight into it — smiling, laughing along, and even offering to switch seats so the two actresses could continue their chat more comfortably.
When Chen Xingxu stood up and stepped aside, Zhou Ye casually slid into his seat, sealing the moment that would soon explode online.

Within hours, the clip was everywhere, with fans lovingly dubbing Chen Xingxu the “accidental third wheel” who heard all the gossip but said absolutely nothing.
One fan summed it up perfectly:
“I mean he (Chen) enjoying being thirdwheel hahaha.”
And honestly? The internet agreed.
C-netz speculated that the two actresses were discussing a moment they had witnessed outside the venue that they found almost unbelievable. This assumption came purely from reading Zhou Ye’s lip movements in the viral clip, with no confirmed details or specific topic ever revealed.
Why This Year’s Moment Hit Harder Than Last Year’s
Long-time viewers were quick to point out that this wasn’t the first time Zhou Ye had gone viral for candid awards-night chatter. Last year, she was famously spotted gossiping with Wang Churan — but 2025 added a whole new layer by placing Chen Xingxu right in the middle.

Instead of interrupting, reacting loudly, or trying to steal attention, Chen Xingxu did the opposite. He listened. He smiled. He became furniture — something fans found oddly charming.
Many netizens commented that Chen Xingxu gives off an “easygoing” and “comfortable” presence, especially around female co-stars. The way he handled the situation — relaxed, amused, and totally unbothered — only reinforced that impression.

Ironically, the viral moment briefly overshadowed several major wins of the night.
Zhou Ye took home Most Notable Artist of the Year for her role as He Yan in Legend of the Female General, while Wang Yuwen was awarded Rising Artist of the Year, sharing the honour with Cheng Lei and Li Landi. Still, it was the off-stage laughter, not the trophies, that people kept replaying.
Backstage Photos Keep the Joke Alive
The story didn’t end in the audience.
Shortly after the event, Wang Yuwen posted a backstage photo with Zhou Ye and Chen Xingxu on Weibo, recreating the now-famous seating arrangement. She joked that they barely talked during filming, so they headed back to the lounge to properly catch up.
The comment section turned into a continuation of the comedy.
Zhou Ye teased that she’d listen to Wang Yuwen first and then Chen Xingxu. Wang Yuwen fired back that it was meant to be a three-person conversation — yet Chen Xingxu never managed to get a word in.

In another playful exchange, Wang Yueen warned Chen Xingxu that if they didn’t move together backstage, he’d end up becoming the topic again. Zhou Ye immediately agreed.
Chen Xingxu’s response? Silence. Very on brand.
Later, he jokingly commented that it was his first time “cosplaying a table”, admitting that everyone else got the fresh gossip while he simply existed in the middle.
Fans loved it even more.
The trio’s easy chemistry didn’t come out of nowhere.
Wang Yuwen and Chen Xingxu are currently paired in the Tencent romance drama A Sudden Love, while Zhou Ye and Wang Yuwen previously worked together in In Spite of the Strong Wind back in 2022.

Zhou Ye and Chen Xingxu, however, haven’t officially collaborated on any project yet — something fans have already started manifesting after this moment.
Some viewers even admitted they were unexpectedly drawn to the subtle chemistry between Zhou Ye and Chen Xingxu, purely based on this light-hearted interaction.
