Volume 3: Xilin's Journey Chapter 229: Nebula Award (Medium)

、、、、、、、

Listening to the light singing in the wide arena, Xu Le's nervous body gradually relaxed, and the fingers holding the sunglasses were released, and he quietly wiped the sweat on his military pants.

At this time, he was sitting in the best position in the audience under the stage, and all the celebrities around him were celebrities who could only be seen on the TV light screen.

An officer or engineer does not fit in with this splendid literary and artistic world, and he has never thought of attending the Nebula Award for cultural and artistic awards, but as a combat hero deliberately promoted by the federal political axe, there is always some role play incidental, even the cold and arrogant Shaoqing division commander also accepted an exclusive interview with federal television, and was asked a lot of similar questions about the relationship between music and tactical deduction...... Such stupid and boring questions.

In the interview, Du Shaoqing frowned and replied that music is just a personal hobby, and it has nothing to do with life-and-death tactical deduction, and then the host was stunned for three full seconds.

Xu Le is not Du Shaoqing, and he doesn't have too much pursuit of his military career, so he doesn't have to care about the rules of the game for combat heroes to develop, according to his surname, he shouldn't have come tonight at all, but Director Brin of the President's official residence called in person, and the Ministry of Defense clearly instructed ...... Thinking of the hidden worries of Mr. President in the official residence that night, he vaguely understood something, so he finally came.

The singing on the stage continued, and those simple and touching lyrics flowed into the ears of all the audience like flowing water, Xu Le listened carefully, and secretly thought that the seven groups of those guys should also be taken over by the Ministry of Defense, but the award ceremony was too dim, and the audience was like a sea, and he couldn't find where those guys were arranged.

In the front right is Bai Zeming, the director and producer of the Venus Documentary Studio, who became famous for the success of the documentary "Seven Groups", and occupies an extremely important position in today's federal literary and artistic circles, just like his position at this time.

Behind the right is an acquaintance, Sister Tong, who has not been seen for a long time, and the seat on the right has always been empty, Xu Le has already guessed something from these details, so he is not too surprised that Jian Shui'er surprisingly appeared on the stage to give a voice.

It's just a song.

Like in the blue light curtain of the cosmic floodlight background, Jian Shui'er, who was wearing a soft hemp floor dress, left quietly, without greeting the audience in front of the light curtain of the TV set of the guests in the audience, just like the feeling of her voice in the ending song, entering in perfect harmony and gentleness, and then silently disappearing, as if it had never appeared.

The lights at the award ceremony gradually brightened, and Xu Le in the audience finally felt the curious and suspicious eyes of the VIPs around him, and lowered his head slightly and put the pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

Wearing sunglasses indoors is something that only those literary middle-aged who need to be maverick will do it if they put pressure on themselves, and even those literary middle-aged people will probably smile or calmly show their true colors at such a grand award ceremony.

So he put on sunglasses to attract more people's attention, the guests next to him began to whisper, and several female stars showed excitement on their faces, probably guessing his identity, after all, whether it was in the news or in the documentary, people have only seen him wearing sunglasses, and he is very familiar with his outfit.

The appearance of the hostess of the award ceremony on the stage calmed down the excitement in the audience, after all, it was a live broadcast, and the guests always had to pay attention to their demeanor.

The hostess of the awards ceremony is called Ke Yining, the best actress at the Federal Autumn Literary Awards the year before last, and it was in that award that she was excited and tearful but still did not lose her humorous speech, which won the praise and love of many viewers in the Federation, and also won the appreciation of the director of the Federal News Channel, and the news channel tailored a new late-night talk program for her, which successfully pushed her to the position of host.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Ke Yining, and welcome to the presentation ceremony of the Nebula Award for Culture and Art. ”

"The awards ceremony is a process that excites, frustrates and even torments for those of us in the industry. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the battlefield where there are no guns. ”

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"But it seems to me that the real gunfire tonight will probably win the biggest victory. ”

Ke Yining was wearing a light black low-cut dress, full of charm, and said unintentionally with a flick of his hair, pointing out the biggest focus of today's awards ceremony, the documentary.

She went on to say to the audience throughout the Federation: "When I won the only actress award in my life, I used to shout into the air, Miss Jane Shui'er, come back quickly, because people need you. ”

As a result, it seems that the heavens heard my cry, so ...... She did come back. Ke Yining turned to the empty beamwave curtain wall behind him and shrugged exaggeratedly: "It's a pity that she left again." ”

The audience burst into laughter.

"Of course, we all know that Miss Jane Shui'er can't stand on the stage again because she heard my call. Ke Yining turned to the bottom of the stage and said with a smile: "We all know why she appeared tonight, it is because of a documentary that made many people laugh and cry, and the director of this documentary, Mr. Bai Zeming, sat below." ”

"Mr. Bai Zeming, you don't need to stand up and greet everyone at this time, because I believe you need to thank you a lot tonight, and I am worried that you will finish your thank you speech too early, and then stand on the stage speechless, so that the precious speaking time of the news channel will be wasted. ”

Ke Yining looked at the bottom of the stage seriously and said, which naturally attracted a knowing laughter.

"The opening sentence seems a little too long, but the director of the news channel has given me less freedom than you might think. The amiable and funny hostess shrugged her shoulders and said: "Actually, I talked about Miss Jane Shui'er and about the documentary "Group Seven" because I want to announce the winner of the Best Film and Television Song Award today. ”

"The winner is...... Well, this song doesn't seem to have an official name, it's the ending song of ...... "Seven Groups"! Lyrics and singers: Miss Jian Shui'er!"

There was a little silence in the venue, as if I didn't expect the climax of the award ceremony to appear from the beginning, and then a thunderous burst of applause, this applause was given to the legendary Jian Shui'er, who has withdrawn from this world, and it is also given to this documentary, which has won countless praises.

............ "Nebula Award for Best Cinematography in the Culture and Art Category: "Group 7", photographer Huang Taiheng!"

"Best Score: "Seven Groups", Federal Venus Orchestra, Composer: Zheng Erze!"

"Best Documentary: "Group Seven". ”

"Best Editing ......"

As everyone expected, but still shocking everyone, the documentary "Group Seven" swept all the awards it was shortlisted for.

Although the number of awards shortlisted for "Group 7" has not set a historical record, if it can win the final two grand prizes, then the number of awards will surpass "Full Metal Mania", which was born a few years ago, and write a glory that is difficult to replicate in the history of the Nebula Awards.

And looking at the previous awards, who would doubt the final result? Before this amazing momentum, the outstanding actors and superstars who won the acting awards lost all their lustre.

"Best Director, Akira Shirasawa!"

The award ceremony resounded with the warmest applause since the opening, and thousands of people looked at the man who ran briskly towards the stage, appreciating it from the bottom of their hearts. Documentaries are not easy to make, and it is even more difficult to shoot war documentaries, Bai Zeming and his team, under heavy artillery fire, have suffered on the difficult front line for such a long time, which is really respectable, and this war documentary does not fall into the inherent routine of tragedy or heroism.

"I was really nervous. Bai Zeming lowered his head with difficulty, pointed at the upright microphone and said: "Even more nervous than when I first entered the seventh group at that time, and I was almost beaten into a meatloaf by Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le." ”

He was not telling a joke, he was telling the truth, but the guests at the award ceremony and the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV curtain laughed.

"This is the fourth time I've come up today, although I value the award of Best Director the most, but the previous editing and dubbing awards, as the host said, have consumed all my gratitude list, I have already disturbed my heavenly father, and it is impossible to disturb my father's father, and even eighteen generations of ancestors. ”

Bai Zeming became excited after being nervous, and said tremblingly: "So I'm just going to briefly talk about the reasons and feelings for filming this documentary." ”

Holding the trophy high in his right hand, he said to the blackened guests in the audience, "I asked them, why are you fighting?" they said, because the enemy is there. When I was asked why I was filming at the risk of the hostility and incomprehension that the seven groups had at the beginning, I replied that it was because ...... Soldiers who fought bloodily so that each of us can live peacefully and happily in the Federation, there they are!"

Hearing Bai Zeming's sincere and excited words, the award ceremony became quiet, and a solemn atmosphere enveloped the audience, and people were moved.

At this moment, a sour voice disturbed the atmosphere, and in an inconspicuous corner of the audience, someone shouted angrily: "You steal my lines! I will say it again when I am about to go on stage!"

There was an uproar in the room, and the guests looked for the source of the sound in surprise, and some people with urgent surnames even stood up from their seats.

The director of the news channel quickly deployed the lights to light up the dark corner, where dozens of federal officers and soldiers sat neatly, wearing dark blue formal military uniforms, with a variegated medal marked with the number of the 17th Mechanic of the First Military Region of the Federation hanging on their chests, and their postures were tall and heroic, but the expressions of the crowd were obviously a little embarrassed by the shouting of a certain companion just now.

"Seven groups!

"So they really came to the scene!"

Thousands of guests looked at the soldiers in the corner in surprise, chatting excitedly, and then they didn't know who raised their heads, and the applause rang out like a sudden rain, mixed with the exciting whistle of cheerful laughter, and for a time the whole venue rioted.
