In the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing, the award ceremony has not yet begun.

There are many award-winning movies tonight, and the themes are very wide. The band had their instruments ready, and there were more and more people in the audience. There are also a lot of cameras around, so people are paying more attention to the meter and whispering under the stage. The hall was filled with "buzzing" human voices, but it was not loud.

Xiao Deng, a part-time secretary, took a stack of cards and returned to Gao Xu and Miaojin's side. She handed out the cards to the people around her, sat down next to Gao Xu and whispered, "There are many TV stations that broadcast live, so the ceremony was chosen in the evening, and the ratings are higher." After the ceremony, there was a cocktail party on the eighteenth floor of the Theater Hotel next to it. ”

Xiao Deng was wearing a skirt, shawl hair, and rare makeup on his face. Her cheeks were flushed, and she didn't know if she was wiping them, or if she was nervous and excited. But Gao Xu guessed that he was excited.

Because she talked more than usual, she sat next to her and said: "There are also two film awards that have great influence in the world, and there are two in China, except for the Gold Award at the Taicang Film Festival, which is the Shufei Golden Fan Award." ”

At this time, Miao Jin said quietly: "Concubine Shu, I am referring to Du Qianrui in the Wude period." ”

"Oh......" Gao Xu made a sound.

Xiao Deng immediately nodded and said, "Yes, the council at the beginning was a government-run organization, funded by the royal family and the government, so this name was chosen." ”

Gao Xu heard the word "so" and thought to himself: it should be the upper echelons who support the constitution and want to promote the legitimacy of the "Great Ming", and deliberately exaggerate the merits of the Ming Shizu era in many aspects. It was from the Wude period that the Ming Dynasty began to officially enter the era of industry and globalization, laying the cornerstone of modern civilization.

Xiao Deng's voice continued: "I also read the information. The organizer is the Literary and Art Society, which was run by the government in the last century. Later, it didn't seem to be done well, and it was handed over to well-known people in the literary and artistic circles and became a non-governmental non-profit organization. Then it gradually developed and expanded, with Jinling Art Institute, Literature and Art Museum and other institutions, and continued to hold the Shufei Golden Fan Award. This award covers drama, film, music, literature, etc., but because the film has the largest audience and attracts much attention, the most influential is the film-related award......"

Gao Xu also knew that Du Qianrui was very famous during the Wude period, because she was the imperial concubine, and people in Shilin would not talk about her publicly, but she was very famous among the people. Du Qianrui was born in the Department of Teaching Workshop, and she is very good at opera, but she can be so famous thanks to Ning Wang Zhu Quan's special script for her. And King Ning himself is a famous opera artist and a vassal king who attracts the attention of the world.

But Li Louxian, who is also very good at singing, has long been drowned in the long river of history because he does not have the blessing of celebrities. Probably only Gao Xu still remembers her now.

At this time, Miaojin's voice said: "I haven't done anything, just to accompany you." ”

Gao Xu turned his head to look at her side face: "Without Xiaowan, this movie can't be made." ”

Xiao Deng listened to the conversation between the two silently, and she should have gradually been able to guess that Miaojin was the biggest funder behind it.

All three were silent. Miao Jin turned her head to look at Gao Xu, as if she was improvising her language, before she spoke: "I am very happy that you have succeeded, and I am proud of your talent. ”

Her demeanor was a little strange, as if there was something unspeakable, and she didn't want to spoil everyone's interest.

Gao Xu listened patiently for a while, and smiled: "I won't mention your name for a while." The person who received the award came to the stage, and the lines were generally thanks to this and that, which was quite boring. ”

Sure enough, Miaojin breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled at Gao Xuyan, as if to say in her eyes: You still understand me.

Gao Xu said: "Actually, I don't want to be too famous in public, I just want to make money." ”

Xiao Deng's voice said: "After receiving this award and becoming famous, it will be easier for Mr. Liu to succeed in making movies and earn more money in the future." However, Mr. Liu has a high heart, and it may not be easy for ordinary people like me to understand. ”

Miaojin laughed, noncommittal.

Gao Xu also turned his head with a smile and said, "Xiao Deng has lost his eyes, I am really a vulgar person." ”

Xiao Deng shook his head.

"People often say that fame and fortune are combined, and it is obvious that both things can bring intuitive and simple pleasure. For example, when it comes to an occasion, when many people hear their names and see their faces, they will immediately come up and speak, and even compliment and praise. Who doesn't love compliments, doesn't like the feeling of being welcomed? This creates a sense of self-recognition. Gao Xu said casually.

Xiao Deng's voice said: "When Mr. Liu said this, there seems to be nothing wrong with chasing fame and fortune. ”

Miao Jin turned his head and smiled: "He is really a layman, but he is very honest with himself. ”

Gao Xu changed his posture and said to Xiao Deng: "However, for people who are too famous, it is difficult for the public to have an in-depth understanding, and all they get is symbolic and packaged information. Once you've been through it, you'll slowly get tired of the feeling of being in the limelight. Because what everyone likes is a symbol, not themselves. Whether it's worship or abuse, it's just a whirlpool of meaningless talk. ”

Xiao Deng was pondering.

Miaojin's voice said, "Sense of concealment." ”

Miaojin is right in the word. Gao Xu didn't want to be too famous, he didn't want to be noticed by too many people, maybe it was just because he instinctively wanted to protect some kind of secret hidden in his heart.

Xiao Deng's voice said: "There are several activities in the Literature and Art Society, among which the luncheon is the day after tomorrow. ”

Gao Xu said: "I won't participate in the activities that start tomorrow, you can go." Just accept the award tonight, after all, "Dreaming" is everyone's hard work. He thought for a while and said, "For the screenwriter award in a while, Xiao Deng will go up with me, and you will talk about the topic of content, no problem, right?" ”

"Is that good?" Xiao Deng asked with a complicated expression.

Gao Xu nodded and said, "You understand the content very thoroughly, and you believe in yourself." ”

At this moment, director Li Liang, producer Wang Siqi, consultant Wang Cheng, investor Mr. Pan and others all came all the way. Gao Xu shook hands with them, and then sat back down.

The grand music played, and the ceremony finally began. Many cameras weave around the halls, and there are even drones filming in mid-air. The two hosts, male and female, also came to the front stage, singing and harmonizing, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." Welcome guests from all walks of life to participate in the award ceremony of the Shufei Golden Fan Award and domestic film awards. ”

There are a lot of people, people are well-dressed, Gao Xu almost doesn't know him, and there is no need to know him.

After the host read the gorgeous opening remarks, he began to announce the awards, and the awards of "Dream Hunting" were at the top. Gao Xu observed that Li Liang put some pills into his mouth, which were supposed to be cough medicines. Then Li Liang raised his head and drank the bottled water, and then took a deep breath. When the host read his name, Li Liang walked from the gorgeous carpet to the stage, he didn't behave well, his expression was very unnatural, he was very nervous, and he brought a script.

When Gao Xu and Xiao Deng went to accept the screenwriting award, he understood Li Liang's poor performance just now. Countless eyes are on the people on the carpet, as well as many viewers behind the cameras. And Li Liang turned out to be a relatively failed animation director, and it is estimated that he has never had the opportunity to participate in such a grand scene.

However, Gao Xu was still very calm, and it was his first time attending a modern ceremony, but he had often experienced similar big scenes before. He walked up to the stage, took a microphone from the host, and looked around the hall first, his gaze sweeping over Miaojin's face. With a calm smile on her face, she watched with many spectators.

The hall fell silent, and many people in front of them were looking at Gao Xu seriously, as if they were waiting to listen to the opinions of successful people in the industry.

Gao Xu said: "I am mainly a businessman, and what I am best at is watching movies and reading books, but this time I just chose a script that I like." ”

There was an uproar in the audience, some laughing, some talking. However, Gao Xu was very calm, smiled at the people, and said, "A successful work is mainly due to the team. Our animation team is truly fantastic. ”

The host asked, "Was the script created by Mr. Liu?" ”

Gao Xu said: "There are several people in the screenwriting team, and I was involved in the main creative process. ”

The host pondered, "What are the places in the script that Mr. Liu particularly likes?" ”

Gao Xu handed the microphone directly to Xiao Deng, and he stood next to him, smiling and listening to Xiao Deng.

Xiao Deng's play is still very jerky, and he said the wrong thing several times, but fortunately, the host is an old fritter, and there are gags in the middle, making jokes about Xiao Deng, and at the same time, the animation clips are played on the big screen, and the atmosphere is quite active.

After receiving the award, Gao Xu took Xiao Deng back to the audience, and then watched the performance later. People's attention was quickly attracted by new topics, which made Gao Xu's feelings gradually settle down.

Xiao Deng was sometimes in a daze, sometimes asking Gao Xu if she had said something wrong, he had not been in the state for a long time, and he turned a deaf ear to the things on stage.

Gao Xu had to turn his head and persuade with good words: "It's okay, whether it is people on or off the stage, they pay the most attention to themselves." Xiao Deng's performance is generally okay, and he will get better after he has experience in the future. ”

At this moment, Mr. Pan, who was separated by Xiao Deng, bowed and said, "Brother, I especially appreciate Mr. Liu's bearing. ”

"Oh?" Gao Xu was stunned for a moment.

Mr. Pan frowned and pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Liu is very modest, but he seems to think very highly of himself and can control everything, I admire people who pursue the noble." When Wang made contact investment, I was the first investor after Mr. Liu. ”

"That's a big deal." Gao Xu hurriedly arched his hand.

Mr. Pan's eyes looked at Gao Xu, nodded his head, and sat up straight. Gao Xu also sat back in his chair, turned his head to look at Miaojin, and saw that she was smiling and looking at herself.

Gradually, Director Li and Xiao Deng seem to be able to get along with themselves, because the people who came to the stage to receive the award performed more than one or two. It seems that the best performers in front of people are two hosts who are not in the industry.
