Chapter 51
On the night of the Golden Swallow Awards ceremony, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The weather was very good. Celebrities posted various Reuters on social media early in the morning. However, the hottest topic about the Golden Swallow Awards was still that screenwriter Lu Zhiwen had recently used his big account to vote for his shortlisted works. With just a tap of his finger, it became the hottest topic.
Xu Qingye looked at Lu Zhiwen's name on the trending search and said to Cao Muan beside him, "He's a master. Learn more from him."
Xu Qingye has always felt that Editor Lu is not simple. The various labels and topics attached to him seem unintentional, but in fact they are carefully designed. He is also a person who understands the rules of the Internet very well.
Xu Qingye searched for today's Reuters, but didn't find anything accurate. Logically speaking, Huihuang Film and Television is a big company, so it shouldn't be so unprepared.
He sent a message to Chen Que, but waited for a long time without a reply. It seemed that he was very busy. Chen Que didn't reply, but Xu Qingye didn't care. He packed up his equipment and asked Yi He to drive them to the venue.
Yi He was driving Xu Qingye's car. If he had driven the Ghost, it might have been the three of them who made the headlines.
The entrance to the venue was crowded with people early in the morning, half of them were entertainment reporters and half of them were fans. Many security guards set up cordons to keep people out. Xu Qingye and the other two were soon squeezed in the middle of the crowd.
Cao Muan had been looking forward to this day for a long time and had specially changed into new clothes today. But now, she was squeezed by the crowd and her good mood was gone.
"Where's Bao Jin as promised? What's the situation now?"
Cao Muan couldn't stand it anymore. The noise outside the venue formed a sharp contrast with the liveliness inside. Cao Muan wanted to be one of the people inside instead of being squeezed here.
"I've already contacted you. Wait a moment."
Xu Qingye called Brother Huang, but the line was always busy. He suddenly felt a little guilty. Is Brother Huang really capable?
After about an hour, Xu Qingye made several calls and finally got through. Brother Huang just asked him to wait and hung up without asking any further questions. Xu Qingye had no choice but to squeeze in with the two of them.
"Believe me, you can really get in."
Xu Qingye emphasized it again, and now Shen Que replied.
Chen Que: I didn’t take any photos. I just arrived at the venue after a busy day. What about you? Have you come in?
Xu Qingye and Shen Que said that they wanted to see him standing on the stage with their own eyes, but Shen Que had already looked around the venue several times and did not see Xu Qingye at all.
Xu Qingye held up his phone and reluctantly typed a line of words in reply.
Xu Qingye: I’ll be right in.
After Xu Qingye sent the message, Brother Huang finally showed his head from behind the security guard. He said a few words to the security guard, and the security guard let the three people in. Brother Huang took out three work badges and gave them to the three people.
"What took so long?"
Xu Qingye couldn't help but complain. Why didn't they just hand over the work badge to him earlier? Why did they make them squeeze outside for so long?
"I wanted to get you two sets of security uniforms, but I couldn't get them. And now three of my colleagues have diarrhea and can't come, so I'm bringing you your work permits."
Brother Huang said it casually, but his words sounded a little weird to the three people. Three people having diarrhea at the same time, it's not such a coincidence even in a novel.
"You guys can handle it yourselves. I'm going to go do my work first. Don't make trouble and don't wander around where you shouldn't be."
Brother Huang sent three people away and quickly ran into the crowd. His fat body was surprisingly flexible.
Yi He glanced down at his work ID, then turned to look at Xu Qingye and asked uncertainly, "Is this ID from a clean source? It's not stained with blood, is it?"
"At most, I got a little laxative. Stop talking nonsense and find a place to stand and take pictures on the red carpet."
The media and entertainment reporters who were able to enter had a special area to take pictures, and were not allowed to run around in other places. When the three of them arrived, Xu Qingye sent a message to Shen Que.
On the crew of "A Summer Named After You", Lu Zhiwen frowned slightly as he looked at Chen Que and Zhuang Yang. Both of them were newcomers, and their clothes were too ordinary for their first red carpet walk.
The other leading actors were all wearing various high-end couture tops, and their crew seemed a bit too casual. Lu Zhiwen had a way to get a dress, but firstly, time was tight, and secondly, whatever he wore would seem to be compared with others. After all, the two of them had no fashion resources at all, and at most they could only buy some ready-made clothes, and could not borrow high-end couture at all.
Lu Zhiwen thought about it for a while and made a phone call to have two sets of school uniforms from the play sent over.
What's important when walking on the red carpet is the topic. Instead of wearing a dress that's not up to standard and being laughed at, it's better to give up vanity and return to nature. This will not only fit the character image, but also increase the topic, killing two birds with one stone.
Chen Que and Zhuang Yang had no objection to wearing school uniforms on the red carpet. They were just going through the motions and it was not time for them to experience the blood and gore of the red carpet.
During various activities, entertainment reporters are the busiest. They almost shoot and edit the photos at the same time, and update them in real time. In order to keep up with the trend, they can produce hundreds of photos in one night.
It was Xu Qingye's first time to participate in such an activity. Seeing the combat readiness of his colleagues, he couldn't help but get excited.
"Work hard and strive to have a prosperous new year."
Xu Qingye first sent a big red envelope in the work group. As the saying goes, "Food comes before troops move." Xu Qingye was not responsible for buying it, so he just gave the red envelope as a token of his appreciation.
There were many colleagues around, and Xu Qingye and the other two were not conspicuous in one place. He handed the computer to Yi He and assigned him some work.
"We two will take the photo, and you can edit it."
"Should I fix it by myself? My hands will get broken. Boss, could you please be less stingy and hire a few more people?"
When Yi He heard that he was working alone, he immediately felt a little depressed. He hadn't done anything yet, so why did he feel tired already?
"Yeah, if you work hard, you'll definitely be able to hire people when you make money."
Xu Qingye didn't even look at Yi He, just agreed casually and continued to take out the camera to debug. He listened carefully to the opinions of his employees. As for when to implement them, that was a matter for the future.
The red carpet is a battlefield for female stars, where they compete with each other in terms of appearance, makeup and fashion resources. There are always countless topics on the red carpet.
The most popular person this time is Su Wen. The drama "Good Men and Good Women" she collaborated with Lu Bian is the most talked-about drama this year. Her performance in the drama is remarkable and she is a popular candidate for the award.
In addition, several veteran artists are also the focus of attention. After Xu Qingye debugged the equipment, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket. On the note was the ratings of the shortlisted works and the recent popularity statistics of each artist that he had compiled.
"Man, you're so professional."
As soon as Xu Qingye unfolded the note, the people nearby saw it and came over to take a look curiously. Looking at the dense data, they couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
"Just some statistics. I like to collect statistics."
Xu Qingye answered casually and handed the note to Cao Muan. He colored the notes in different colors according to popularity, and made special notes on the favorites who needed more photos to win the award.
Xu Qingye put several stars in front of Shen Que's name.
"Boss, you are so selfish. You drew the most stars in front of Chen Que."
Cao Muan looked at the list and clicked his tongue twice.
"Show some respect to our spiritual shareholder. He will definitely win the award tonight."
Xu Qingye spoke in a firm tone. Cao Muan didn't know where his confidence came from, but he nodded very seriously. Respecting the boss is a must for a good employee.
Besides, she was really addicted to Shen Que's drama, and she couldn't help but want to become a fan. Many of her good sisters who were also fans of the drama had already fallen in love with it. She didn't dare to say that she knew Shen Que, but every time she saw them talking about Shen Que, she couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
The party started and people came in one after another. The flash lights in the media area were as bright as fireworks, and the sound of shutters was endless. Xu Qingye held up the camera and pressed the shutter quickly. He mainly took multiple photos, and he could always choose good photos by taking more.
This was the first time Yi He had seen this. Seeing his buddy frantically editing the photos, he quickly sped up his movements.
The Golden Swallow Award has enjoyed a good reputation over the years. The awards given out each year are well-deserved, and there are rarely any voices of doubt, which greatly increases the value of the Golden Swallow Award.
The big-name artists were the last to appear, and the ones before them were relatively ordinary. Xu Qingye took pictures for a while and then asked Cao Muan to keep an eye on them. Just as he was about to take a break, he heard an exclamation not far away, followed by more frequent shutter sounds. Xu Qingye listened to the noise and looked over.
Not far away, a group of people were walking slowly forward. The two in the middle were wearing classic blue and white high school uniforms, while the others were dressed in elegant suits and ties.
Two people in high school uniforms were surrounded. They were a boy and a girl who had strayed into the world of fame and fortune. They still had childishness on their faces. They looked around and seemed curious about everything.
Xu Qingye looked at Chen Que in the crowd. Chen Que was wearing a school uniform and looked indifferent.
Zhuang Yang was still a little nervous, and his smile became stiff when he looked at the camera facing him.
Shen Que was much more relaxed. He followed the team forward, as if he had accidentally walked into the red carpet on his way home from school.
Because of her stunning appearance, she still attracted countless cameras even when wearing a school uniform.
Shen Que searched the crowd with his eyes and saw a smile on Xu Qingye's originally indifferent face. He stretched out his hand and waved to Xu Qingye, then walked to the sign-in wall and signed his name.
Xu Qingye's camera accurately captured Shen Que's signature. Each stroke was very neat, making it particularly conspicuous among the many flamboyant signatures. Then, next to his neat signature, there was another even neater signature.
Zhuang Yang.
Xu Qingye laughed. Not only did she walk the red carpet in school uniform, but she was also so serious when signing autographs. This was probably the most unique red carpet outfit in recent years.
"Whoever came up with the idea of having the male and female protagonists walk the red carpet in school uniforms must be a genius."
After Xu Qingye finished taking the photo, he turned his head and said something to Cao Muan, who nodded vigorously in agreement. Just now, when Shen Que came over and waved to him, he felt like he was about to fall in love.
"Yeah, it's both topical and fitting for the character. It's very memorable and has beaten many big names. Let's recruit the person who came up with this idea to our company."
"Well, I'm afraid I can't afford it. Please try harder so that I can earn more."
Xu Qingye sent a message to Shen Que, asking him who came up with the idea for tonight's performance, and he quickly got a reply.
Shen Que: Lu edited.
When Xu Qingye saw the news, he felt that it was as he expected. Editor Lu was not a simple person, and it was proven once again.
