Bright Spring

Xiao Deng's voice said: "The Academy of Arts still has several activities, and the luncheon is the day after tomorrow."

Gao Xu said: "I won't participate in the event that starts tomorrow, you guys go. Just accept an award tonight, after all, dreaming is everyone's hard work." He thought for a while and said, "The screenwriter award for a while, Xiao Deng and I Let's go up together, you can talk about the content, is it okay?"

"Is this okay?" Xiao Deng asked with a complicated expression.

Gao Xu nodded and said, "You have a thorough understanding of the content, trust yourself."

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

The grand music was played, and the ceremony finally started.Many cameras shuttled in the lobby, and there were even drones filming in mid-air.The two hosts, male and female, also came up to the stage and sang together, "Good evening, gentlemen and ladies. Welcome guests from all walks of life to participate in the awards ceremony of Concubine Shu's Golden Fan Award and domestic film awards."

There were so many people, well-dressed people, Gao Xu hardly knew each other, and there was no need to know them.

After the host finished his lavish opening remarks, he began to announce the awards, and the awards for Xunmeng were at the top.Gao Xu observed that Li Liang stuffed some pills into his mouth, which should be cough medicine.Then Li Liang raised his head to drink 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 very well, his expression was very unnatural, very nervous, and he brought a manuscript.

When Gao Xu and Xiao Deng went to receive the screenwriting award, he understood Li Liang's poor performance just now.Countless eyes are on the people on the carpet, and there are spectators behind many cameras.However, Li Liang was originally a relatively unsuccessful animation director, so he probably never had the opportunity to participate in such a grand scene.

However, Gao Xu was still calm. It was his first time to participate in a modern ceremony, but he often experienced similar big scenes before.He walked up to the stage, took a microphone from the host, looked around the hall first, and glanced over Miaojin's face.With a quiet smile on her face, she is looking this way with many viewers.

The hall fell silent, and many people in front of him were watching Gao Xu seriously, as if they were waiting to listen to the high-level speeches of successful people in the industry.

Gao Xu said, "I'm mainly a businessman. What I'm good at is watching movies and reading books. This time I just chose a script I like."

There was an uproar in the audience, some people were laughing, some people were 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 indeed very good."

The host asked: "Did Mr. Liu create the script?"

Gao Xu said: "The screenwriting team has several people, and I participated in the main creative process."

The host made a thought, "Which parts of the script do Mr. Liu particularly like?"

Gao Xu directly handed the microphone to Xiao Deng, and he stood beside him, smiling and listening to Xiao Deng's words.

Xiao Deng's performance was still very jerky, and he said something wrong several times. Fortunately, the host was an old stick, and he also made jokes and joked about Xiao Deng in the middle. At the same time, animation clips were played on the big screen, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

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

Xiao Deng was sometimes in a daze, and sometimes asked Gao Xu if she had said something wrong, and was out of shape for a long time, turning a deaf ear to what happened on stage.

Gao Xu had no choice but to turn his head and persuade: "It doesn't matter, whether it's people on stage or off stage, they are most concerned about themselves. Xiao Deng's performance is generally not bad, and he will get better after he has experience in the future."

At this moment, Boss Pan leaned across Xiaodeng and said, "Brother, I really appreciate Boss Liu's demeanor."

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

Mr. Pan frowned and pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Mr. Liu is very humble, but he seems to think highly of himself and can control everything. I admire people who pursue loftiness. When Wang Productions contacted investment, I was the first person after Mr. Liu. A funder."

"It's too serious." Gao Xu hurriedly cupped his hands.

Mr. Pan looked at Gao Xu, nodded, and sat up straight again.Gao Xu also sat back on the chair, turned to look at Miao Jin, and saw that she was looking at him with a smile.

Gradually, Director Li and Xiao Deng seemed to be able to get along with themselves, because there were more than one or two strange performances on stage to accept the award.The best performance in front of people seems to be two hosts who are not in the industry.

Chapter 36 Oud

As Xiao Deng said, after the ceremony, there will be a reception on the [-]th floor of the nearby Theater Hotel.

Gao Xu stood by the wall holding a glass of sweet red wine, looked at the Caucasian woman who was playing a strange musical instrument for a while, then turned to Miao Jin next to him and said, "Compared with the luncheon the day after tomorrow, I really prefer Such a modern reception."

He thought for a while, and then said: "The banquet is like the relationship between the top and bottom of a traditional country drink. The important person at the head is the core of the audience; and the guests at each table, there are always one or two more famous and senior people." Tall people maintain the atmosphere and topic of the whole table.

People are forced to repeat common clichés because even relatives, friends and colleagues do not necessarily share the same interests.The experience is often not so good, so everyone calls it entertainment.And this kind of reception is different, I can at least talk to you, so as not to be bored or confused. "

"Oud." Miao Jin said with a smile.

Gao Xu didn't recover for a while: "What?"

Miao Jin glanced at the Caucasian woman who was playing, "The instrument she plays is called the oud, and the pipa you like evolved from the oud. It originated in Persia, and evolved into a pipa in the east, and a guitar in the west. "

"So that's it, I've been taught." Gao Xu said and took a sip of his wine.

"If you express something complicated, you can speak it so fluently, no wonder I like listening to you." Miao Jin added.

Gao Xu smiled and said, "I'm glad that in your eyes, I'm not Wang Zao."

Miao Jin smiled knowingly, then turned her head to look at the bandstand, "That Persian woman is very beautiful, don't deliberately ignore her."

Gao Xu said, "I just had a look."

"Am I not allowing you to see?" Miao Jin asked with a half-smile.

Gao Xu observed her. She was wearing a skirt with modern design elements. She had a beautiful and slightly childish face. Her skin was white and smooth, and she had a youthful aura, but her charming and bright eyes were not consistent with her appearance. .

Because the song at this time has the rhythm of traditional western music, Gao Xu naturally thought of adjectives such as the face of an angel and the figure of a devil.And Gao Xu couldn't see the emotion in Miaojin's eyes at this moment.

Miao Jin's expression was slightly aggrieved, but her eyes were smiling, "Am I a jealous woman?"

Gao Xu said helplessly: "This is a term that doesn't fit the times."

Miao Jin stared at him with a very serious look: "You don't have to worry too much, I don't care about these women around. Because I know you well, I'm sure you can find that they all have... characteristics that you find difficult to accept."

"Shortcomings?" Gao Xu pondered.

Miao Jin shook her head and said, "I'm a little hungry, go get something to eat."

Gao Xu nodded, looked back at Miaojin's back, then continued to stand by the wall to enjoy the Persian woman's performance with the wine glass in hand.The Persian woman wore an intricately decorated, glittering evening gown.Like the female guests here, in addition to traditional dresses, there are also many women wearing modern fashions.

Under the soothing melody, the people around just feel the melody atmosphere of the music subconsciously. They gather in twos and threes to talk and walk around, and seize the time to get acquainted with capable and helpful people, or people with different surnames who are pleasing to the eye.There are almost no people like Gao Xu who specially appreciate playing.

The Persian woman also noticed Gao Xu in the corner, casting her gaze here and there from time to time.Persian women have deep eye sockets, and their eyes are unique.This Gao Xu had already realized it.

But what he didn't expect was that the Persian woman came straight to Gao Xu as soon as people changed on the bandstand.Gao Xu was a little embarrassed, just like what he said to Miao Jin, he just wanted to see it.

The Persian woman saw Gao Xu turning her head to look at something, she came up and asked, "Are you looking for the female companion just now?"

Gao Xu didn't deny it: "I see if she's back." Out of politeness, Gao Xu added, "The piece you played on the oud is so beautiful and elegant, it makes people mesmerized."

The Persian woman suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Mr. is really well-informed, and he recognized the oud at a glance."

Gao Xu smiled and said, "My girlfriend just told me."

The Persian woman suddenly felt a little resentful, "She must be a lady."

After Gao Xu hinted, he didn't hesitate to praise: "What's the name of that wonderful song just now?"

"Pure white roses." The Persian woman said.

Gao Xu thought for a while: "Maybe I'm wrong, please forgive me, the title of the song comes from Dante's "Divine Comedy"?"
