As soon as the voice sounded, Xu Le knew that Lan Xiaolong was talking weird again, and after a slight stun, he did not look back to find the seats of his companions, but lowered his head and kept rubbing his brows.
This action is not used to cover up his inner embarrassment, or to pretend not to know this person as often described in novels to avoid embarrassment, but he is thinking about something interesting.
Major Lan Xiaolong's acerbic and mocking tone was a tone that Xu Le and the seventh group of members were already familiar with. Even if they appeared at the biggest awards ceremony in the Federation, it would not be surprising. But he made a sudden speech at this time, attracting the attention of the audience and the camera lens, and pushing the seven groups into the spotlight, naturally and skillfully making the guests and TV audiences difficult to feel abruptly resentful...
Xu Le always felt that apart from the character of this guy, there was some interest behind the shout - this was a very skilled means of propaganda. Back then, the Ministry of Defense transferred Lan Xiaolong into the seventh group to rebuild the new seventeenth group. The teacher is preparing, it seems that this time the ministry has given him a new task
The audience was jubilant, and only he who was wearing sunglasses was thinking about this issue quietly. After a long time, a smile appeared on his face, and he found with some mixed emotions that he, an orphan of Donglin, had been floating in the capital star circle for several years, and it turned out that he was no longer as simple as he used to be.
On the stage, Bai Zeming, who was in high spirits and was moved to tears, shouted with Major Lan Xiaolong off the stage, causing laughter from time to time in the large hall, and the awarding process could not continue until the host reminded him.
When Xu Le raised his head, the honorees of the grand finale, the dean of the Federal Academy of Arts and Letters and the president of the Federal Television Station, had already stood on the stage, on the huge light curtain occupying the entire building wall, and began to introduce the list of finalists.
The stage was extremely quiet. Hundreds of millions of people on and off the TV were waiting excitedly. The white-haired president of the Federal Academy of Arts and Letters smiled and said nothing more, and began to slowly read the award speech he had just drawn up an hour ago.
After the award ceremony, the news media in the Federation knew that the last award speech that impressed many people was actually from the editor-in-chief of the Capital District Daily and the famous independent reporter of the Federation, Mr. Bob.
"This is a great era in which a vast fleet expeditions into the splendid universe, countless heroic warriors follow each other, strong survival and glorious sacrifices complement each other, which makes it look extremely magnificent."
"Behind the big era, the price of protein meat has risen again, the uncle next door is unemployed, the business of the underground casino has deteriorated, the number of yawns of the doorman has increased, the aunt next door has increased his salary, and the daughter is worried about the poor grades in the spring exam and worried about the reduction of pocket money. day."
"Whether it's a big era or a small day, it is actually full of brave people and cowardly people. They will be happy because of victory, sad because of failure, and angry because of many things. The only difference between the two is facing difficulties. Attitude when it comes to power."
"When the brave person is angry, he casts a sharp sword with his own flesh and blood, and draws it out to the stronger; when the cowardly person is angry, he builds a black brick of his emotions and sneaks behind him to the weaker."
“In a hopeless society, there must be many heroes who stare at children who grow up staring at other children, and then hold the black brick behind them.” (Note )
"The selection committee chose this film with great courage because it tells us how lucky we are that this society is not hopeless, because there are many truly brave like these warriors around us. Angry."
"Both the filmmakers and the actors were truly brave. Some people may think that these warriors are not actors, but I insist that life is a drama in itself in a sense, and we need to do It’s about playing your part and living your life with care and courage.”
"The drama of life cannot be rehearsed, so there must be no regrets."
After reading the award speech, Mr. Dean closed the speech, looked at the quiet crowd below the stage with a smile, and said, "I didn't write the award speech, but I don't think I need to open the envelope. Let's give the warmest applause to The documentary "Seven Groups", and the Union soldiers fighting for the peace of the Union."
From the middle of the award speech, everyone in the venue and the audience in front of the TV knew the final result. No one was surprised, and while a documentary winning the most important film award should come as a surprise in itself, everything has been submerged in some kind of social collective conscious expectation.
The sound of the seats tilting in the hall of the building sounded, and thousands of guests gave a standing ovation like a tidal wave, and the applause also hit the ceiling like a tidal wave. The warm applause continued until the co-producers of "Group Seven", the top executives of the Jinxing Documentary Factory and the Federal News Channel took the stage.
When they and the three producers Bai Zeming read their testimonials excitedly, they did not step down immediately, but retreated to the back with a smile. All of the thousands of guests who stood up to show their respect did not sit down. The applause that had just stopped rang out again, and countless pairs of eyes looked somewhere.
The hostess Ke Yining looked at the position of the seven groups of players in the audience, and excitedly issued an invitation to come on stage. The TV station's camera quickly aimed at that place, and showed those dozens of people who had a peculiar expression in their resolute expressions. The faces of federal officers and soldiers were captured and sent to the various star regions of the Federation.
The members of the seven groups sat motionless in their seats, seemingly unmoved by the applause beside them. In fact, people who knew the characters of these guys would definitely be able to see that they were extremely satisfied with their vanity at this time, and could see them even more clearly. It's just that they are a little nervous under the eyes of hundreds of millions of viewers in the Federation, and they don't dare to move. Maybe they can't think of the no regrets mentioned by Editor-in-Chief Bob, and they simply don't want to be embarrassed.
The host smiled and said nothing. The increasingly exciting background music matched with the increasingly rhythmic and drum-like applause of the guests, sending out invitations and pressure of kindness to the team members. Gradually, the standing guests even began to stamp their feet. , pushed the popularity of the scene to the highest point.
Bai Zeming walked up to the hostess and waved to the team members, only to find that these rogue guys who had been with each other for a long time had become a little ignorant of him, with standard military posture and strict discipline, as if they had become the subordinates of Master Du Shaoqing...
After a slight start, he finally thought of one thing, laughed and looked at Xu Le's seat, waving his arms desperately.
Xu Le didn't want to play a famous ice and snow general like Master Du Shaoqing by wearing sunglasses. In this situation, he was already mentally prepared to take the stage, but the thickest nerve in his body was caught by the female stars and celebrities around him. His fiery eyes were about to burn out, so his movements were so slow that he seemed to be incapable of doing things...
In these real eyes and deafening applause, he finally stood up with difficulty, and finally took off his sunglasses in public for the first time.
Seeing the familiar back of the leader appearing in front, the members of the seven groups who had been holding on for a long time breathed a sigh of relief, stood up collectively with a bang, and began to line up on the stage.
There is a quiet and luxurious special ward at the end of the corridor of the Army General Hospital. If the glass window is opened, you can see the same deep spring forest shoots as in previous years. Every spring, those trees will give birth to almost the same green grass. , and finally turned into a familiar forest, no change at all, and no spectator can detect their old age.
Magnolia glanced out of the corner of the window at the dense foliage lit by the street lamps, and looked back at her parents who had been sleeping on the hospital bed for many years. His parents were poisoned by a leak many years ago and have been in a coma, never woken up, nothing changed, like a tree outside the window.
Usually, when Magnolia came to the hospital to protect her parents, her mood was always a little gloomy, but today he was in a good mood, and the pictures on the TV screen made his lips smile from time to time.
Of course, it would be better if the uninvited guest in front of him could leave earlier.
"Mr. Magnolia, I would like to know why you refused the long-term critical illness assistance provided by the Airway Medical Foundation. It seems that your parents need these assistance very much." A slightly fat middle-aged man wiped his face. With sweat on his forehead, he asked with a smile.
"The Tai family has a lot of foundations."
Magnolia took out a cigarette and lit it, used her thumb to pick out the fine hair in front of her forehead, and said softly, "Since you are used to speaking in this obscure way, then I can explain it again."
"I'm rich now."
He raised his head, looked at the man with a blank face, and said, "The first time the boss saw me, he gave me 20 million. Although I spent a lot of money, the boss didn't spend much money, but after two years , there are more than 10 million left, and it should be enough to save it later."
The slightly fat middle-aged man's eyes were slightly cold, and he immediately smiled and said: "It is indeed a big deal, but I still have the authority to issue numbers of this level. You must know that I am responsible for the issuance of accounts and directly serve the secretary of Shen. You always I'm under a lot of pressure if I refuse to sign for this account."
"Can you tell me who your boss is?"
From the beginning to the end, the agent of the Foundation did not have any threats in words or strong behavior, but in his understated words, it revealed that the forces he served were absolutely transcendent and powerful in the Federation.
Bai Yulan raised her eyebrows slightly, smoke filled her face, and asked with a smile, "A newcomer, right?"
The slightly fat middle-aged man was taken aback.
"The lieutenant colonel hiding behind the crowd is my boss."
Magnolia pointed to the screen of the awards ceremony on TV and said, "My personnel relationship is in the Seventeenth Division, which is the previous Seventh Division."
The ward was quiet, only the dense leaves outside the window rustled by the night wind. The fund agent took out the silk handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and said in a hoarse voice, "Sorry, I just took over the business last month. There may be some error on the working connection."
"excuse me."
The person walked neatly to the door of the ward and said politely when he was about to go out: "I don't have enough authority to handle your business, and it may be handled by Secretary Shen in person."
Magnolia ignored him, turned her head to look out the window, and flicked the ash on the thick green leaves that stretched out to the window sill.
