Listening to the soft singing in the large hall, Xu Le's nervous body gradually relaxed, his fingers clenching his sunglasses loosened, and he quietly wiped his sweat on his military trousers.
At this time, he was sitting in the best position in the auditorium under the stage, and all around him were celebrities who could only be seen on the TV screen in the past. Now he is not nervous because of these, but the first Attending such an occasion once, it is inevitable to feel very uncomfortable.
An officer or engineer does not fit in with this splendid world of literature and art. He has never thought of attending the Nebula Award ceremony for cultural and art awards. However, as a fighting hero deliberately promoted by the federal government, he always has to perform some role-playing incidentally. Even the arrogant and arrogant Master Shaoqing received an exclusive interview with Federal Television and was asked a lot of silly and boring questions like the relationship between music and tactical deductions.
In the interview, Du Shaoqing frowned and replied that music is just a personal hobby, and has nothing to do with life-and-death tactical deductions, and then the host was stunned for three seconds.
Xu Le is not Du Shaoqing, and he doesn't really pursue his military career, so he doesn't need to care about the rules of the game for fighting heroes. According to his character, he shouldn't come tonight at all. The Ministry of Defense clearly instructed... Thinking of Mr. President's worries in the official residence that night, he vaguely understood something, so he finally came.
The singing on the stage continued, and the simple and moving lyrics flowed into the ears of all the audience like running water. Xu Le listened carefully, secretly thinking that the seven groups of guys should have also been taken over by the Ministry of Defense, just to present the award. The ceremony site was too dark, the audience was like a sea, and he couldn't find where those guys were arranged to sit.
In the front right is Bai Zeming, who was chosen by chance for the filmmaker and producer of the Venus Documentary Factory. He became famous because of the great success of the documentary "Seven Groups" and occupies a very important position in today's federal literary and art circles. Just like his current position.
In the back right is an acquaintance, Sister Tong, whom I haven't seen for a long time, but the seat on the right is always empty. Xu Le has guessed something from these details, so Jian Shui'er appeared on the stage astonishingly. Xiansheng was not too surprised.
The song is over.
In the blue light curtain of the cosmic floodlight background, Jian Shui'er, wearing a soft linen skirt, left quietly, without greeting the guests under the stage or the audience in front of the TV light curtain, just like her voice As in the ending song, the perfect harmony enters softly, and then disappears silently, as if it had never been there.
The lights at the award ceremony were getting brighter, and Xu Le in the audience finally felt the curious and guessing gazes from the VIPs beside 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 middle-aged literary and artistic people who are self-pressured to be unique and independent will do. Even those middle-aged literary and artistic people will probably smile or calmly reveal their original appearance at such a grand award ceremony. face.
So he put on the sunglasses and attracted more people's attention. The guests beside him began to whisper, and the faces of several female stars showed excitement, and they probably guessed his identity. After all, whether it was the news or that movie In the documentary, people have only seen him wearing sunglasses, and they are very familiar with his outfit.
The appearance of the hostess of the award ceremony on the stage calmed down the commotion in the audience. After all, it was a live broadcast, and guests should always pay attention to their demeanor.
The hostess of the award ceremony was named Ke Yining, who was the best actress in the Federal Autumn Literary Awards the year before last. It was in that award that she gave a humorous speech in addition to tears, which won the hearts and minds of many audiences in the Commonwealth. The thumbs up and the admiration from the director of the Federal News Channel, who created a new late-night talk show tailored for her, successfully pushed her into the position of host.
"Everyone, I'm Ke Yining, welcome everyone to the award ceremony of the Nebula Award for Culture and Art."
"The awards ceremony is a process that excites, distresses and even tortures those of us who work in this industry. Welcome to the battlefield without the sound of guns."
There was a clear laughter from the audience.
"But it seems to me that the real gunfire tonight will probably be the biggest win."
Ke Yining was wearing a light black low-cut dress, full of charm, and said casually by flicking his hair, pointing out the biggest focus of today's awards ceremony, the documentary.
She continued to say to the audience across the Federation: "When I won the only actress award in my life, I once shouted into the air, Miss Jian Shui'er, come back quickly, because people need you."
"In the end, it seems that God heard my cry, so... she really came back." Ke Yining turned to the empty beam curtain wall behind and shrugged exaggeratedly: "It's a pity she left again."
There was laughter from the audience.
"Of course, we all know that Miss Jian 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, that is Because of a documentary that made many people laugh and cry, the director of this documentary, Mr. Bai Zeming, is sitting below."
"Mr. Bai Zeming, you don't need to stand up to greet everyone at this time, because I believe you need to thank you a lot tonight. I'm very worried that you finish your thank you speech too early, and then stand on the stage speechless. Valuable speaking time on the news channels is wasted."
Ke Yining looked at the bottom of the stage seriously and said, which naturally attracted a knowing laughter.
"The opening remarks seem to be a bit too long, but the supervisor of the news channel has actually allowed me less freedom than you think." The amiable and funny hostess shrugged and said: "In fact, I talk about When it comes to Miss Jian Shui'er, when it comes to the documentary "Seven Groups", it's because I want to announce the winner of the Best Film and Television Song Award today."
"The winner is... um, this song doesn't seem to have an official name, it's... the ending song of "Seven Groups"! Lyricist and singer: Miss Jian Shui'er!"
The venue was quiet for a while, and it seemed that the climax of the award ceremony had not occurred from the beginning, and then a thunderous applause broke out. This applause was given to the legendary Jian Shuier who had already retired from this world, and it was also given to this film. A documentary that has won countless compliments.
"Best Photography Award in the Nebula Award for Culture and Art: "Seven Groups", photographer Huang Taiheng!"
"Best Score: "Seven Groups", Federation Venus Letian, Composer: Zheng Erze!"
"Best Documentary: "Seven Groups."
"Best Editing..."
As everyone expected, but still shocking everyone, the documentary "Seven Groups" swept all the awards it was shortlisted for.
Although the number of awards shortlisted for "Seven Groups" has not set a historical record, if it can win the last two grand prizes, then the number of awards will surpass that of "Full Metal Frenzy" which was born a few years ago. The history of the Nebula Awards is written with brilliance that is difficult to replicate.
And looking at the awarding of the previous awards, who would doubt the final result? In the face of this amazing momentum, the outstanding actors and superstars who won performance awards have lost all their brilliance.
"Best Director, Bai Zeming!"
There was the warmest round of applause since the beginning of the award ceremony. Thousands of people watched the man who ran quickly to the stage, expressing their appreciation from the bottom of their hearts.
Documentaries are not easy to shoot, and it is even more difficult to shoot battlefield documentaries. Bai Zeming and his team endured such a long period of hardship on the front line under fierce fire, which is really respectable, and this battlefield documentary did not fall into tragedy. Or the inherent routine of heroism, the countless seemingly ordinary details of life in the military camp and the capture angles of those unique picture materials constitute the unique charm of this documentary, which has poured over all sentient beings in the Federation.
"I'm really nervous." Bai Zeming lowered his head with difficulty, pointed at the upright microphone and said tremblingly, "Even more nervous than when he was almost beaten into meat patties by Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le when he entered the seventh group."
What he said was not a joke, but the truth. However, the guests at the awards ceremony and the hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV screen burst into laughter.
"This is the fourth time I have come up today. Although I value the award for best director the most, the previous editing and dubbing awards, as the host said, have consumed all my thank you lists. I have already disturbed. Heavenly father, it is impossible to disturb my father's father, or even the eighteenth generation ancestors."
After being nervous, Bai Zeming became excited and said tremblingly, "So I'm just going to briefly talk about the reasons and feelings for filming this documentary."
He held the trophy in his right hand and said to the dark guests under the stage: "I asked them, why are you fighting? They said, because the enemy is there. Filming with hostility and incomprehension, my answer is, because... Soldiers who fought bloody battles for each of us to live peacefully and happily in the Commonwealth, are there!"
Hearing Bai Zeming's heartfelt words, the award ceremony became quiet, a solemn atmosphere enveloped the audience, and people were moved.
At this moment, a sour voice disturbed the atmosphere at this time. In an inconspicuous corner of the auditorium, someone shouted angrily: "You steal my lines! Say it again when I am about to go on stage. !"
There was a big uproar in the room, and the guests were surprised to find the source of the sound, and some impatient people even stood up from their seats.
The director of the news channel quickly deployed the lights to follow, and illuminated the dark corner, where dozens of federal officers and soldiers were sitting neatly. They were wearing dark blue official military uniforms, and hanging on their chests were the tenth of the first federal military region. The variegated medal of honor with the designation of the seventh mechanic is tall and straight, but the expressions of the crowd are obviously a little embarrassing because of the shouting of a certain companion just now.
"Seven groups! Seven groups!"
"It turns out that they really came to the scene!"
Thousands of guests looked at the soldiers in the corner in surprise and kept discussing excitedly. Then, whoever started, the applause sounded like a sudden rain, mixed with the exciting whistles of cheerful laughter. For a while, the whole venue was boiling.
