Chronicles of the Modern Empress Dowager

Chapter 221: Lonely pear blossoms are white

Views:

In the eleventh year of Xikang, the first month. For the three girls of Shangshu Mansion, they are not yet fourteen years old, which is the season of cardamom. If she is just a junior high school student in this era, the future has been decided for the third girl of Shangshu Mansion.

My cousin, who is the Queen, is seriously ill and her time is running out. He couldn't even wait for her to have hair extensions, so he took her into the palace as soon as the sedan chair was carried.

The Lantern Festival in the eleventh year of the reign of Emperor Xikang was the last reunion between Li Wei and the sisters in the mansion, and it was also the last joy in those years. Crowded men and women, a river dotted with lanterns. Strange fire-breathing performances and noisy fireworks. There are also lotus lanterns made by the second sister, and there is a wonderful game between the fifth sister and the sixth sister with no winner.

That night on the cruise ship, she picked up a flute next to her and played the song "Moon Over the Mountain". The song is not over yet, but the membrane of the flute is broken and can no longer be played. At this time, the sound of a whimpering flute came from nowhere, and the second half of the song was completed.

Neon lights flash and tall buildings stand tall.

She had just sipped a glass of red wine but she was already tipsy, recalling all the past events. After flowing through the long river of history, it has been a hundred years since we looked back.

Li Wei frowned, and Xing Fang explained: "Sister Li, nine times out of ten, life is not what you want it to be. Only when you can let go can you be truly open-minded."

Li Weiwei was surprised: "Okay, why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"

"Because it's been almost twenty minutes, and Sister Li hasn't said a word, and her brows are furrowed. I think you don't seem to be in a good mood."

She had been immersed in the harem for several years, and she had developed the ability to keep her emotions and anger invisible. But when she came here, the environment changed drastically. She took off her armor, but the young sister opposite saw through her thoughts at a glance.

"The sun sets behind the screen window, and no one can see the traces of tears in the golden house. Spring is late in the lonely empty courtyard, and the pear blossoms are all over the ground and the door is closed." Facing the bright moon in the sky, Li Wei suddenly murmured a song.

Xing Fang looked at her blankly, feeling that the Li Wei in front of her was very different from the capable and neat woman at work. The bright woman in front of her had a touch of sadness, but she didn't know where this sadness came from. .

In his dream that night, Li Wei dreamed of the sisters in Shangshu Mansion. They were all sitting under the pear tree, talking and laughing. When Li Wei woke up, he suddenly felt sad. However, after a few years, all the beauty was dispersed and the prosperity was gone.

Li Wei rested the next morning, but she didn't go anywhere. She stayed in the hotel until eleven o'clock and there was a red carpet show at two o'clock in the afternoon. She had to rush to prepare for the interview.

Still wearing the same dress as last night, she went to the hotel's hair salon to get a new hairstyle. The hairstylist sprayed a lot of styling gel to stabilize the hair.

After tidying up, she called the restaurant to have food delivered, and she and Xing Fang ate in the room. After lunch, we had to rush to the scene to prepare for the report.

This TV festival brings together all kinds of excellent films from home and abroad, and the film and television stars invited include some popular overseas idols. The fans who came to support the event were also very vocal, and fans from their respective camps outside the venue also secretly competed with each other. Always eye-catching.

Zhao Qian appeared holding Chu Shanshan's arm, although he was also accompanied by the director and screenwriter of the "Long Sunset" crew. Chu Shanshan wore a sky blue off-shoulder satin skirt and a carefully styled chic hairstyle. Slim, youthful and beautiful. Her pretty face and fresh temperament made her very popular among young women, and she attracted a lot of screams as soon as she appeared on the stage.

Even Xing Fang couldn't sit still. Li Wei whispered to Xing Fang: "You will go over for the interview later and I will ask the cameraman to give you a few more shots."

Xing Fang was extremely happy.

There will be a short break after the red carpet, and the awards show will not take place until 7 p.m.

Li Wei and his team of five people also attended the awards night as representatives of the TV station.

"We should be able to go home with an award this time. The leaders have high hopes. How much manpower and material resources were spent on making this documentary. The tracking and filming in Africa alone took more than a year. It was really too time-consuming. It’s so energetic. It’s rare for a film to be so sincere, and it would be unreasonable if it doesn’t win.”

Li Wei had the same feeling in his heart when he listened to the cameraman's words. A few years ago, she was sitting at the bottom waiting for the awards to be decided. At that time, Zhao Qian was still nominated. This time, he was just an audience like himself.

Along with the interspersed performances of song and dance programs, awards are also decided. When the Best Documentary Award was finally aired, the first clip to be released was "Visiting the Survival Status of African Wildlife" selected by their TV station. The distant African grasslands under the lens look a bit desolate, with running leopards, lions, and herds of elephants... appearing under the lens from various angles. They are the protagonists of this film.

After showing clips from several nominated films, the award-winning guests were invited. Li Wei had never been so nervous. She didn't even dare to look up. She understood how much effort the TV station had put into this documentary and how much manpower and material resources it had consumed.

"The winner of the first prize for Best Documentary is..."Visiting the Survival Status of African Wildlife" produced by XX TV Station"

This short sentence made all five people stand up, and everyone hugged each other, excited.

The five people took the stage to receive the award as representatives of the TV station, and Li Wei was elected by his colleagues as the representative to deliver the acceptance speech. When the host handed the microphone to Li Wei, Li Wei saw a pair of sharp eyes in the vast sea of people under the stage. She replied with a smile: "Thank you to the organizing committee for awarding this award to us. Although this documentary is only 45 minutes long, it took a full two years from shooting to production. It united my colleagues All your hard work. Thank you, and please pay attention to the survival status of wild animals, protect endangered species, and hope that humans can live in harmony with nature.”

Watching Li Wei calmly deliver his speech, Zhao Qian, who was sitting in the audience, kept looking at the woman under the spotlight on the stage. Although her appearance was different, she was still the same person.

Successfully won the award, and it was also the first prize. Li Wei didn't have much expectations for what would follow. Next came a dance performance, a huge full moon appeared on the big screen, and the sound of sobbing gradually began. A group of dancers in red dresses appeared on the stage.

There is a man wearing a robe and tied hair in the back. The effect of light and shadow makes the audience look like the man is under the moon.

The man lowered his head and blew the flute in his hand.

As the familiar voice came, Li Wei was excited, and she suddenly understood. It's him! In the eleventh year of Xi Kang's reign, he was the one who completed the second half of the song for her.
