1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 587 We must seize the opportunity today!
"To be honest, I am completely stunned standing here. As a newcomer in the entertainment industry, I never thought that I would..."

On the podium, Zhu Shimao was holding the trophy and stammering.

"Lao Mao, this typhoon still needs practice!"

Thinking about Lao Mao who performed freely with Chen Peisi on the Spring Festival Gala in the future, Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin with a smile.

Zhu Lin rolled her eyes at him and said, "After all, it's my first time winning an award, and it's a Golden Rooster Award. I'm definitely nervous. I'd be nervous too if I went up there!"

"There's nothing to be nervous about. Once you're on stage, just pretend there's nothing below you. Just thank the organizing committee for their recognition, thank the crew for their support, and finally thank the school for their training. Then, say that you'll continue to work hard in the future and strive to produce better works, and then you can leave the stage."

"It's all clichés. There's nothing to be nervous about."

Li Changhe smiled and said, anyway, this kind of award will definitely end with some high-sounding words of praise, there is no need for anything else.

Zhu Lin originally wanted to refute, but then she changed her mind and thought that it was just like that. Just say thank you more and that's it. There was no need to say too much.

At this moment, Lao Mao on the stage had finished his speech, received warm applause, and then left the stage.

"How is it? Are you nervous?"

Zhang Yimou on the side asked Zhu Shimao with a smile.

"Don't mention it, the back is soaked with sweat. Although I have performed on stage before, it feels really different to stand on it after winning an award."

"The winner of this year's Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress is Zhang Yu for "Lush Mountain Love""

At this moment, the audience burst into applause again, and Zhang Yu, who was sitting next to him, walked up with a smile on her face.

"Look how proud she is!"

"How is our Xiaoxue's performance worse than hers? It's just that she's not as bold as her!"

"We must film a drama with Xiaoxue as the heroine in the second half of the year, and suppress her next year!"

Zhu Lin said this quite indignantly at this time, but in fact it was also a disguised way of comforting Gong Xue.

Gong Xue, who was standing by, felt a lot less sad when she heard this.

"Sister Linlin, it's okay."

"Well, you can take a look in the second half of the year. You are a senior now, so you don't have academic pressure anymore. You can make another one."

Li Changhe smiled and nodded.

Zhang Yu on the stage quickly finished her speech and left the stage.

"Next, we have the winner of the Best Screenwriter Award. This time the winner is Ye Nan for "Night Rain in Bashan Mountain". Let us congratulate Comrade Ye Nan."

At this time, there was warm applause from the audience again, but Zhu Lin, Gong Xue, and Zhang Yimou all looked at Li Changhe in surprise.

The Best Screenwriter award was not given to Li Changhe?

This is a bit far-fetched!

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not participating in the selection."

"I've already told Lao Xia that I won't participate in the selection process, so I won't get this award."

Li Changhe seemed to know their mentality and explained with a smile.

He really had no interest in winning the Best Screenwriter award, and he would not go on stage to receive the award, so he had already told Xia Yan early on that he would not be considered for the Best Screenwriter award.

Otherwise, with the performance of "The Horse Herder", he would have surely won the title of best screenwriter.

Because whether it is "Legend of Tianyun Mountain" or "Night Rain in Bashan", the core is actually that Lao You is the protagonist, and this template is now ranked behind "The Shepherd".

The Horse Wrangler was a pioneer.

"I see. That's what I was saying. It would be so unfair without you."

Zhang Yimou on the side said with emotion.

"Next, it's our Best Director. The winner of this Golden Rooster Award is."

On the stage, the host paused, then looked towards the crew of "The Horse Shepherd".

"Zhu Lin's "Horse Herder"

"Let us congratulate Comrade Zhu Lin!"

Following the host's announcement, the audience burst into warm applause.

Then Zhu Lin, wearing an exquisite long dress and small leather shoes, walked up slowly.

After receiving the trophy from the chairman of the jury, Zhang Junxiang, Zhu Lin stood in front of the microphone holding the trophy. She then let out a breath and spoke.

"Just now, I was very nervous down there. I was thinking, what should I say if I win the prize?"

"Then someone gave me an idea, saying that I should thank everyone from the judging panel to the school, and finally give some self-motivation, and then I could leave the stage."

"I actually think this method is also very good. I thought of the lines before going on stage, but when I stood here, I suddenly forgot all the lines."

"Hahahaha"

When the audience heard Zhu Lin's words, there was a burst of joyful laughter, accompanied by warm applause.

In fact, the conventional thanks from the people before had made everyone a little bored. Now Zhu Lin suddenly started a daily conversation, which was really novel and also stirred up everyone's originally boring emotions.

"I know that normally I should thank the judging panel, my colleagues in the crew, the school that trained me, and many other people first, but standing here at this moment, there is only one person I want to thank first."

"It is my beloved Comrade Li Changhe. It can be said that from the time I chose the major of directing to now standing on this stage, it was he who pushed me forward and protected me all the way."

"He wrote the script, he formed the crew, and even the acting skills of the male and female leads were guided by him, so I felt unworthy of this award."

"But now I have figured it out. In fact, I don't need to feel guilty at all. After all, he is my lover. So when I say this, I don't want to thank him anymore."

"I think we should just go through the normal process and thank the jury."

Zhu Lin thanked everyone with a smile, then walked down gracefully.

After Zhu Lin stepped down from the stage, there was warm applause from the audience again.

Even many older directors who were originally dissatisfied with Zhu Lin winning the Best Director award couldn't help but shake their heads at this time.

The girl said it all so openly, it was all thanks to her lover, and they are a couple, so what else can they say?

And now they have figured it out. They didn't lose to Zhu Lin, but to Li Changhe.

Considering Li Changhe's fame and works in recent years, these old seniors don't think it's a big deal.

He is the young star of the Writers Association, a leader of the younger generation, an extremely talented young writer, and a top student at Peking University. With such a halo, it is normal for him to have such an achievement.

After Zhu Lin stepped down from the stage, she came to Li Changhe holding the Golden Rooster Trophy and Certificate of Honor, and stuffed them into his arms.

"Hey, hold it for me."

Li Changhe didn't care. He took the Golden Rooster trophy and then opened the certificate.

"(Zhu Lin) showed it through the lens with great talent."

"It's quite professionally written. I'm reviewing it for you."

Li Changhe commented on the comments on her Best Director award certificate and said with a smile.

"Really? I didn't even have time to see it. Let me take a look!"

Zhu Lin took the certificate out of curiosity and smiled happily after reading the comments on it. She thought Li Changhe would comment on her acceptance speech after she got off the stage, but unexpectedly, Li Changhe didn't ask a single question.

After a while, Zhu Lin couldn't help it anymore.

"Hey, don't you have anything to say?"

"say what?"

"My acceptance speech just now!"

Zhu Lin said dissatisfiedly.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "You said it very well. This kind of daily conversation seems very sincere. In fact, if I were not the person involved, I would have the same feeling!"

"What does it feel like?"

Zhu Lin asked subconsciously at this time.

"This couple is showing off their love on the podium!"

"But unfortunately, I am the person involved, so my feeling now is that we just love to show off, and you can only listen!"

Li Changhe chuckled as he finished speaking, and Zhu Lin couldn't help laughing as well.

In fact, she didn't really have the same idea as Li Changhe. She just went on stage and said it involuntarily, and then she felt that there was no need to be so pretentious, after all, Li Changhe was her lover.

But now thinking back, it really seems like they were just showing off their affection!

"Next, the winner of the Best Picture is The Wrangler. Let us congratulate the crew of The Wrangler!"

"Go ahead and claim your prize!"

Li Changhe urged Zhu Lin at this time.

Zhu Lin nodded, then stood up and walked up again.

Li Changhe looked at Zhu Lin going up and smiled slightly.

The person who presented the award to Zhu Lin on the stage this time was Xia Yan.

In fact, Xia Yan revealed a lot of inside information to him, for example, three films were selected for the Best Picture award this time, but "Lush Mountain Love" was not included.

The three movies are actually all movies with Lao You as the protagonist, namely "The Shepherd", "Night Rain in Bashan" and "Legend of Tianyun Mountain". All three works are very exciting. Later, "Legend of Tianyun Mountain" was eliminated first, leaving "The Shepherd" and "Night Rain in Bashan".

The jury actually argued endlessly at the beginning, because the group portrait of "Night Rain in Bashan" is very wonderful, each person has vivid characteristics of the times, and each person has his or her own story.

Because of this, "Night Rain in Bashan" won the Best Supporting Actor and Actress awards. Not just one person, but six people from the entire crew won the award.

But in the end, in the final few selections, "The Shepherd" was slightly better, because according to Xia Yan and others, Xu Lingjun's attitude was superior to other movies.

Li Changhe's inspirational presentation elevated Xu Lingjun's image, so "The Shepherd" not only reflects the tragedy of the times, but also elevates the ideological realm of a generation.

This is also the reason why "The Shepherd" is better than "Night Rain in Bashan".

Of course, these inside stories were just what Xia Yan told Li Changhe in casual conversation, and Li Changhe only knew some of the inside stories of the selection.

At this time, Zhu Lin, holding the trophy and certificate, stood on the podium again.

"Well, I didn't expect that he would come up again just after I finished speaking. I don't know what to say this time. After all, I have already thanked those who need to be thanked."

"So I think I'll make it short this time. Thank you everyone. I will continue to work hard in the future!"

After saying that, Zhu Lin turned and walked off the stage.

The people below were all stunned at this moment. My goodness, you have made your story too short.

The host stood there in a daze. He didn't expect Comrade Zhu Lin to do something completely out of the ordinary.

"Hahaha, he is indeed our young director. He is not slow at all and is full of youthful vigor."

"That's fine. I think everyone is tired of sitting here. After all, this award ceremony has been going on for most of the day."

"Comrade Zhu Lin, to make it short, I'm afraid you just want to move on to the next step as soon as possible."

"Then let's move to the big restaurant. The Oriental Film and Television Group has prepared a sumptuous banquet for us to celebrate the successful holding of our first Golden Rooster Awards. Tonight, everyone can drink to their heart's content and celebrate tonight."

At this time, Xia Yan took the microphone and spoke to everyone with a smile.

In fact, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles had not originally planned to hold such a large-scale dinner because there would be too many people and the consumption would be too high, especially in terms of raising supplies. Originally, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles only wanted to hold a small banquet for the award-winning members.

However, after Li Changhe found out about it, he felt that the film and television city could come forward to organize it. After all, the first Golden Rooster Awards could not be too shabby. He also felt that this could become a tradition in the future and could also be considered as publicity for the film and television city.

The Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Ministry of Culture discussed it later and decided that it was worth a try. After all, the Golden Rooster Awards will most likely be tied to Oriental Film and Television City in the future, so this kind of cooperation could be tried.

However, this item was not written in the award ceremony process, so Xia Yan announced it at the podium at the end. It was also a pleasant surprise for the participants tonight.

"Nuo, Xiaoxue, please help Linlin get it. You guys will definitely be interviewed when you go out later. I'm leaving first!"

At this time, Li Changhe put the trophy and certificate in Gong Xue's hands, and then said to Zhu Lin and Gong Xue.

"Well, where do you go from here?"

Zhu Lin knew that Li Changhe didn't want to be interviewed, and even more so didn't want to be photographed by reporters, so she definitely couldn't go out through the front door with them.

"I'll go to the back to chat with Xia Yan and the others, and then I'll go out later."

Li Changhe had already made arrangements, so there was no need to rush.

And that evening, naturally, all the crews were toasting each other, and even different crews were toasting and communicating with each other, after all, they were all in the same industry.

Li Changhe was naturally drinking with Xia Yan and the others in a separate private room. Most of the people there were bigwigs from the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Ministry of Culture, including some of the selection committee members, and Xu Sangchu and others from the Shanghai Film Studio.

Anyway, there was a long table with twenty or thirty people. After going around, even Li Changhe, who had an amazing alcohol tolerance, couldn't hold it anymore.

Li Changhe persisted to the end, watching the secretaries of these big guys help them out one by one before he walked out of the room.

Unfortunately, there is no one to serve him here.

Strolling alone, he returned to the hotel from the restaurant. As the breeze blew gently, Li Changhe's drunkenness dissipated a little.

But when he returned to the room, he saw two beauties lying quietly on his and Zhu Lin's bed.

Not only did he drink too much, in fact, Zhu Lin and Gong Xue also drank quite a bit tonight. After all, they were the crew that won the most awards, and they had produced a well-deserved work like "The Shepherd".

After all, those who were jealous were a minority. Most of them were people from other film studios who still greeted and communicated with them enthusiastically.

Although the two of them only had a brief taste each time, they couldn't stand the crowds.

So in a daze, both of them lay here.

Seeing this, Li Changhe felt something in his heart.

As the saying goes, once you lose an opportunity, it will never come back!

At this time, Li Changhe no longer wants to pretend to be a gentleman!

We must seize the opportunity today.

Afterwards, Li Changhe slowly lay down beside Zhu Lin and leaned against her gently.

This time, he planned to attack from one side first.
