Guan Miao, who just graduated from university, picked up a stray kitten on the road.
She intended to send it for medical treatment, but then learned that the other party was a stray system fr...
134. Silver Lion Award
Guan Miao naturally noticed that her dance teacher and Sister Deng Ling had an unusual relationship, but no matter how she hinted at it, neither of them told the truth.
Seeing this, Guan Miao had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and learn to dance obediently.
Maybe there is something in the past between the two of them that cannot be known to outsiders.
As time passed, Shi Mingya delivered the dress that Guan Miao had picked out as promised.
However, this time, Shi Mingya was much more respectful when she saw Guan Miao. "Teacher Guan, long time no see."
"Mr. Shi, it's been a long time since we last met. I heard that Mr. Shi has been reinstated. I've been so busy that I didn't even prepare a big gift for you to celebrate."
Hearing this, Shi Mingya waved her hands repeatedly, "Teacher Guan, you're really joking. If you hadn't put aside past grudges and offered your help, I'm afraid I would have ended up being fired."
"Fired? Aren't there always n+3 fires these days?" Sun Mi asked doubtfully. "If he really is fired, Mr. Shi will definitely get a good amount of compensation based on his length of service. If he saves a little for the rest of his life, life shouldn't be difficult, right?"
Listening to Sun Mi's naive words, Ximingya smiled bitterly, "How can it be so simple?"
If it really comes to that, I'm afraid the company will use every possible means to make her resign on her own, so there's no way she would get any compensation.
Sun Mi wanted to ask more, but seeing Shi Mingya's ugly face, he shut up and went to the outer room with Deng Ling to pack clothes.
After everyone left, Guan Miao said, "I'm not entirely helping you. A large part of my motivation is selfish, so you don't have to be like this. We are just mutually beneficial."
Shi Mingya nodded, indicating that she would put herself in the right position. "By the way, Teacher Guan, I have already checked all the problematic people in Hanamiki during this period of time and have already driven away several people of lower ranks. However, there are still some high-ranking people that I cannot touch for the time being.
But I have been collecting individual shares privately, and they add up to 8%."
Guan Miao didn't really care about these data. "I said I just want Hanamiki to stand by me forever. As for how you want to become the one in power? It has nothing to do with me.
It’s just that you really want to fight for that position.”
"right."
Shi Mingya nodded without hesitation, and her originally elegant eyes now showed a hint of desire for power.
It was obvious that her ambition had been gradually developing during these days.
"I originally thought that I was a close associate of the company, but I didn't expect that they would dump me so cleanly when something went wrong. They didn't care about our years of friendship. So, I don't need to give them any face anymore.
Those who exploit others will one day become fish on someone else's chopping block."
"What a great ambition," Guan Miao clapped his hands lightly. "If you need any help, please tell me. I will do my best to help you."
"I understand."
The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
"Miaomiao, the clothes are here. Come and try them on. If there are any issues with the size, we can make changes."
When Deng Ling's voice came, Guan Miao immediately stood up and said, "I'm here."
After trying on four sets of clothes in a row, she was finally able to sit down and rest for a while, while Deng Ling was still talking about her ideas with the designer who followed her.
"Actually, I think this dress could use a brooch. Look, we've got this set of jewelry for this dress..."
Deng Ling asked Sun Mi to take out the jewelry that the Dais family had sent a long time ago to match the dress. "Do you think this is a good match? Is there anything that can be improved?"
After half an hour of conversation, the two sides finally decided which set of jewelry should be matched with each dress.
"As for makeup, we also provide stylists. I'm wondering what you guys think."
Deng Ling said directly, "We've hired a top makeup artist in the industry. We tried out the makeup yesterday and took some photos of the results. Take a look."
Guan Miao looked at herself on several PPTs, with different makeup, jewelry and hairstyles, and she almost didn't recognize herself.
Turning to look at Deng Ling, she was still so energetic and was discussing what to change with the designer and hairstylist.
After another round of trouble, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon when Shi Mingya and the others left. After seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Guan Miao picked up his bag and was about to go to the set to shoot his scenes at around 8 o'clock in the evening, but was stopped by Deng Ling.
"Miaomiaomiaomiao."
"What's wrong?"
"Have you asked Si Gui for leave? S Shiyuan, I estimate it will take at least two or three days this time. Remember to ask for leave in advance so as not to delay the crew's progress."
"You don't even need to tell me that. I've already told Director Si. Otherwise, which scene do you think I'm going to make up for now?"
"That's fine. Since you have no problems here and everything needed for the day is ready, I'll take Shuangshuang Xue'er and the others to City S to check out the venue.
It's probably too late for you to rehearse like this, so I'll just let Shuangshuang take your place. You two are about the same size, so I'll record a video for you and you can just copy his movements.
There should be a final rehearsal the day before the awards ceremony, and you should be able to catch that rehearsal."
"Okay, no problem for me. Be careful when you go."
"Don't worry."
Deng Ling was very quick. The next afternoon, she took the dress, jewelry, and Shuangshuang to City S.
There were only four people left in the crew: Guan Miao, An Jing, Sun Mi and Uncle Li, and the hotel seemed a little empty.
Fortunately, this phenomenon is only temporary. After the award ceremony, they will return.
After Si Gui called "cut" on the set, he said into the microphone, "Miao Miao, go to the side and rest for ten minutes. Shu Yan, come here for a moment."
Shu Yan's face fell when she was called out, and she walked to the director reluctantly, "Director, what can I do for you?"
Si Gui sighed and looked at her, "Teacher Shu Yan, this scene is about you judging the second female lead. As the female lead, and the one who is judging, your aura must not be suppressed by her. Look at your performance now, your aura is completely inferior to Guan Miao's.
You are on the side of justice. How can a righteous side be defeated by evil?"
Shu Yan's face was already very ugly after being scolded by her, but seeing so many people around, she suppressed her temper and said softly, "Director Si, but the heroine is seriously ill and weak. How can she possibly compete with the second female lead?
Otherwise, you could ask Teacher Guan Miao to restrain her temperament a little, and the whole picture would be much more harmonious."
Si Gui sighed. Shu Yan clearly said, "I know I have problems, but I just don't want to change. What can you do to me?"
"Teacher Shu Yan, this IP has a huge fan base. If you can't grasp the essence of the original heroine, you'll definitely be criticized after the show airs."
Shu Yan continued to smile, "But a thousand eyes have a thousand ideas. I only played the heroine I thought of. I don't think there is anything wrong with my performance.
And I think that although the heroine is a little noisy, she is still a kind person at the end of the day, so she will definitely not be aggressive. "
Si Gui took a deep breath and was about to argue with her. But then Shu Yan's assistant suddenly ran over and said apologetically, "Director Si, Shu Yan has an urgent call. Can we wait until she finishes the call?"
The driver waved his hand impatiently, "Go ahead and take it."
After saying that, she turned to look at Guan Miao who was reading a script on the side, and after thinking for a moment, she walked to Guan Miao's side.
"Teacher Guan Miao, can you tone down your aura a bit in this scene later? Don't be too eye-catching. After all, the heroine is still here."
Guan Miao looked at Director Si speechlessly, "Director Si, do you think I'm dooming the show?"
"How could that be? You acted so well, so well."
"If it's already in place, why should I change it? Whoever has the problem should make the changes."
In this scene, any discerning person can see that the problem is not with her, but that Shu Yan's understanding of the character's personality is deviated. So why should she humble herself and change the personality of the second female lead to maintain Shu Yan's role as the female lead?
Seeing Shu Yan still concentrating on her phone call, she whispered, "I'm a demon cultivator, the kind who kills without blinking an eye. I'm weak, so who would believe me if I told anyone I'm a demon cultivator?"
Si Gui scratched her head. How could she not know who was at fault in this scene? But she couldn't say it out loud.
After all, Shu Yan's traffic is there, and she has also attracted a lot of investment. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing.
Moreover, Shu Yan's previous scenes were all quite normal, but now that she has more scenes with Guan Miao, it is obvious that her understanding of the role is very superficial.
The heroine has this quirky image, but Shu Yan seems to think she is stupid.
These two words may sound similar at first glance, but their actual interpretations are worlds apart.
What should I do now?
When the ten minutes were up, we reshot the scene, but we still failed.
After filming four or five times in a row, Si Gui grew impatient. Seeing that Shu Yan showed no intention of changing her ways, he simply used the original version.
Didn't you say that the heroine should be weak? Then let her do what she wants.
Guan Miao did not notice the change in the director's mentality and was still immersed in the joy of finally being able to get off work.
In the lounge, Sun Mishang was helping her remove her makeup while saying, "Just three more days of filming and we'll be able to reunite with Sister Deng Ling and the others. We're still a little excited."
"Who isn't?" Guan Miao showed a sly smile in his eyes, "I'm looking forward to it too!"
If I really win the award, it will be considered as achieving one of my extremely ambitious goals.
Three days later, Si Gui let her out of the crew as promised. As soon as she left the crew, she saw Qu Bo running out, calling her name, "Guan Miao."
"Teacher Qu Bo, is there something that brought you here specifically?"
But she didn't expect Qu Bo to say to her with a confident look on his face: "Miao Miao, you will definitely win the Best Actress award this year. I'll wait for you to come back to the crew."
“…”
Guan Miao was confused. She didn't understand where Qu Bo got the confidence to say that. She didn't even have the confidence!
"Haha," she laughed dryly twice, expressed her gratitude to Qu Bo, and quickly ran away with her suitcase.
Help, who are these people!
As they boarded the plane to S City, they took a photo of Guan Miao and the cotton doll she was holding, and after carefully editing it, they posted it on their account with the caption [See you in S City.]
Soon after it was released, it received a lot of comments and attention from fans.
[See you in S City, looking forward to your fan benefits!]
[Hey, who got the Silver Lion ticket? It's me!]
[Hey, although I didn’t buy a ticket, I can go to the offline event. I’m really looking forward to seeing the real Miaomiao.]
Most of the fans' words were about celebrating the fact that they could meet Guan Miao offline at the Silver Lion Awards, and they talked too much about winning the award, probably because they didn't want to put pressure on Guan Miao.
Looking at the comments below, Guan Miao felt warm in his heart.
After arriving in City S, she immediately took various promotional photos in order to promote the award ceremony well on the day.
After much anticipation, April 12th has finally arrived.
In the backstage lounge, Guan Biao looked at herself in the mirror. She had changed into a light yellow dress, paired with light green jewelry, projecting a lively and energetic image.
I still remember the last time I attended such a large event was at the Best Newcomer Awards. I didn't expect to be in a similar situation again. I was already competing for Best Actress.
These three years have passed so quickly like a dream.
An Jing beside her seemed to notice her nervousness and gave her a gentle smile.
"It's okay. No matter what the result is, you have already made your best effort. Don't make a wish, don't pray. If you don't wish, nothing will go unfulfilled."
Guan Miao was initially somewhat moved. But upon hearing the last sentence, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "An Jing, how can you be so comforting?"
An Jing raised an eyebrow. "Look, isn't the effect very good now? You don't look so sad anymore."
"Too."
[Sister Deng Ling, there are three more guests before Teacher Guan Miao appears. You can get ready.]
"Okay, thank you."
After seeing off the staff, Guan Miao took a deep breath and prepared to go on stage alone, holding up her skirt.
After the familiar red carpet segment, Guan Miao finally took his seat in the backstage.
The Best Actress award was obviously much more prestigious than the Best Newcomer award, and her seat was arranged in the first row this time.
On the right are the nominees for Best Actor, and on the left are the nominees for Best Actress.
After she found her seat and sat down, she took the initiative to whisper hello to several senior entertainers next to her.
The actor sitting on her left is already in his 40s, and the look in his eyes when he looks at her is full of the care and love of an elder for a younger person.
"Guan Miao, I know you. The drama you starred in is very good. My granddaughter likes you very much now. I wonder if you can leave me an autograph later."
Guan Miao was flattered and agreed immediately, "Of course. It's my honor."
With this actor taking the lead, several other seniors around her also threw topics to her, and for a while everyone chatted quite harmoniously.
The party went on as planned. After watching various singing and dancing competitions, Guan Miao was obviously a little sleepy.
When will it be the turn of the Best Screenwriter, Best Director and Best Actress awards?
"The First Lesson" was nominated for the Best Director Award, and "Eternal Night" was nominated for the Best Screenplay Award in addition to her Best Actress award.
Watching the VCR of Yongzhui playing on the big screen, Guan Miao thought that Jing Qing would be very happy if Yongzhui could win the Best Screenplay Award.
"The winner of this year's Best Screenwriter Award is Jing Qing from 'Eternal Night'. Let us invite Director Jing Qing to the stage."
"You're welcome."
