Chapter 101 Authoritative Awards
"In our line of work, sometimes we still have to understand that there are some things that we really can't do anything about." Chang Mengyu suddenly said.
The assistant director's face didn't look good, but he didn't say anything.
After all, the people who pay the most are the ones who make the most money.
It’s just that this kind of sticking to conventions in the entertainment industry makes people feel uncomfortable.
How many truly good things have been buried because of momentary selfishness.
Chen Ying was young, and she was unhappy after all: "Is Shen Shijing an idiot? He really can't appreciate good things!"
"Stop talking." Ning Baicha patted the back of her hand gently and lowered his voice, "Don't worry, since we've started the live broadcast, even if we don't get any awards, the good things have already been seen. The trophy is just one of the recognitions for us. For performers like us, the most important thing is to be recognized by the audience."
Indeed it is.
These words calmed Chen Ying's irritability. Although she was still a little unwilling in her heart, she nodded with red eyes and said in a muffled voice: "You are right."
"Yeah." The assistant director also sighed, "Although it's frustrating to lose, no matter what, we were seen, and that's enough."
On the field, the vote counting has been completed.
Yimeng is far ahead in the number of votes.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The host came on stage, holding the script and reading the lines: "Now we can all see that Yimeng is far ahead in the votes. First of all, let us congratulate Yimeng Drama Troupe, they are very likely to be the winner of this year's Golden Elephant Award!"
The camera turned to Yimeng's crew.
Everyone immediately sat up straight, smiled and nodded at the camera.
[I saw the actress who played the female lead stuffing popcorn into her mouth in two or three bites! ]
[Chang Mengyu!! Ahhh! I said I hadn’t heard from Chang Mengyu for a while, but she’s actually here.]
[The female lead is good, Chang Mengyu's acting is good, and those who love to take advantage of others should get lost! ]
[I want to vomit when I see Ning Baicha's face, really! ]
[Ning Baicha is really a mistress, and she even has the nerve to play a mistress in a drama. Does she really think she is so beautiful that all men in the world have to love her? ]
【Ningbai tea is boiling! 】
[Let Ning Baicha get out of the entertainment industry! ]
Suddenly, the comments in the live broadcast room were filled with hatred for Ning Baicha.
But Ning Baicha herself was completely unaware of this. She was staring intently at the stage at this moment.
"The results of our online voting are out, so let's take a look at the judges' votes next." The host calmly controlled the situation and smiled calmly, "I believe everyone has already recognized the judges present, but in order to deepen the audience's impression, I still need to introduce the judges."
"The first one is Pei Yongqing, the director of drama from Qingdao University's Drama Academy. This is the fifth time that Mr. Pei has sat on our jury since the Golden Elephant Awards were held. He is definitely an authoritative representative."
The camera turned to a thin man on the judges' panel. He looked to be in his late thirties or early forties, very thin, wearing a denim blue shirt that was washed almost white, and gold-rimmed glasses on his nose. At first glance, he looked like an educated person.
【!!! One minute, I want all the information about this man.】
[I found out Pei Yongqing is already 45 years old, but look at him, does he look like he is 45 years old? ]
[I met a very cultured director at school. He didn’t manage us by yelling. He was very good. By the way, he was a single father with a daughter. His wife died of illness a few years ago.]
Ning Baicha also glanced at Pei Yongqing. In the original text, Pei Yongqing was a key figure.
However, it is not known how critical this key is.
The camera turns to the second person.
"The second judge is Professor Cai Ji from Naruto University. This is Professor Cai's first time judging our Golden Elephant Awards, but in previous Golden Elephant Awards, Professor Cai has always been a loyal fan of ours." The host laughed a few times, "Similarly, Professor Cai also personally guided his students in rehearsing a blockbuster drama, which won the fifth Golden Elephant Award."
The host on the stage was still introducing, and Chang Mengyu was whispering to Ning Baicha.
"Professor Cai and Teacher Pei are both professionals after all. So how should he introduce Shen Shijing later? Besides, Shen Shijing is the youngest among these people."
Ning Baicha straightened himself up slightly, still forcing a stiff smile from the corners of his mouth: "Who knows."
There was a chuckle from the side.
Ning Baicha frowned slightly and turned to look at Chang Mengyu.
"I thought that given your relationship with Shen Shijing..."
Ning Baicha inadvertently cared about what others were saying about her and Shen Shijing, but she didn't mind as long as it wasn't publicized.
To be honest, this kind of thing is close to gossip. Unless there is some substantial evidence, it is all hearsay.
"My relationship with him is very simple." Ning Baicha blinked innocently and looked at Chang Mengyu with a smile.
Chang Mengyu was speechless and choked with emotion.
That’s right, it’s just a simple relationship between a financial sponsor and his kept lover.
"Very good." Chang Mengyu didn't know what to say.
On the stage, the host had already introduced the other two judges, and it was Shen Shijing's turn to be introduced.
"The next person, I believe everyone present knows him, Shen Shijing. He is the president of Shen Group and a big shot in the investment world. Of course, being a big shot in the investment world is not enough to be a judge of our Golden Elephant Awards. After all, to be our judge, one must have a high level of artistic attainments."
The host was still talking.
But Ning Baicha didn't pay much attention to what was said specifically. She already knew everything about Shen Shijing by heart.
After all, the original text is all about how Shen Shijing and Ning Baixuan fall in love.
It's a pretty brainless little sweet story. If you ignore the problem that the other supporting characters are too flat, and just read it as entertainment, the story is still acceptable.
The author loves Shen Shijing very much and gives him a halo for everything.
"As a drama lover and one of the major investors in this year's Golden Elephant Awards, Mr. Shen also participated in the rehearsal of a drama during his college years, and his original work won first place during the competition. Therefore, the issue that everyone is worried about, that Shen Shijing is completely unauthoritative, is not a problem at all."
It can be seen that this host is trying very hard to save his reputation.
Unfortunately, the attempt to save face was very unsuccessful.
How old is Shen Shijing now? It’s been too many years since his college days. What’s more, it’s just an award-winning work, and it’s not an authoritative award.
