Chapter 107 National Drama Festival
December 17, Beijing North, Central Communication University Ceremony Hall.
The double-layer auditorium that can accommodate thousands of people is overcrowded today, with a large number of students and fans crowding the second floor. Looking around, there are colorful light signs with the names of stars everywhere.
Although it is not as authoritative as the Golden Eagle and Feitian Awards, the popularity and heat of the National Drama Festival is still quite high because many popular big stars are invited every year.
"Dear teachers, here is our seating diagram for today. Everyone can take a seat according to the instructions above." At the entrance of the auditorium, a volunteer student wearing a cheongsam etiquette dress looked at Meng Bai with starry eyes and introduced him enthusiastically.
Behind him, Wu Bai touched his forehead and said angrily to Yu Yi beside him: "Look at what I said, if we walk next to him, the girl won't even look at us."
Yu Yi pursed his lips and held back his laughter.
Brother, let's be realistic. Even if Meng Bai is not here, the girl won't look at you.
Previously, Liu Jun told Meng Bai that Soul Ferry was awarded the "Most Popular Online Drama" award by the National Drama Festival, and asked him to accept the award on behalf of the crew.
Meng Bai thought that coming alone seemed a bit "weak", so he sent invitations to Wu Bai and the three leading actors, and asked them to come if they had time.
Unexpectedly, after asking, he found out that Li Qin and Zhang Ruoyun also had awards or nominations, and had received invitations a long time ago. It's just that they represented other crews.
"If I hadn't received the invitation, I wouldn't know that our male and female protagonists had left the team." Meng Bai complained in the WeChat group.
So today, the few people in their "Spiritual Pendulum" were divided into three groups. Li Qin and Zhang Ruoyun were on a single team, and Meng Bai brought Wu Bai and Yu Yi together.
Looking at the seating chart on the sidelines, Meng Bai found that the popularity of the National Drama Festival was not in vain. Look at the guest list - Zhou Xun, Hu Ge, Huo Jianhua, and Liu Shishi from the "Swords of Immortal" group, Chen Weiting, Li Feng, and Qiao Zhenyu from the hit drama "Ancient Swordsman", Zhao Liying, the new "85 Flower", and Zhong Hanliang who occupied half of the light boards on the scene...
"Where are we?" Wu Bai saw Meng Bai staring at the seating chart for a long time and couldn't wait to come over and ask.
Meng Bai stretched out his hand and gestured: "In the middle right."
Not to mention it's quite a coincidence that they are next to the crew of "No War in Peking". Meng Bai turned around and looked in that direction, and sure enough, he saw Hou Hongliang, Kong Sheng, Li Xue, and Wang Jinsong, Ni Dahong, and Zu Feng from a distance.
Looking at the seating chart again, Meng Bai found the seats of Li Qin and Zhang Ruoyun. Unfortunately, they are quite far apart.
However, the seats for this kind of event are generally scattered, with many empty seats. If you are alone, it doesn't matter if you change to an empty seat.
Several people came to their own area. Meng Bai didn't rush to find Li Qin, but greeted Hou Hongliang and the others first.
"Congratulations, Mr. Hou." Meng Bai bowed and congratulated: "I heard that our "All Quiet in Peking" crew had a great harvest tonight."
"Congratulations, don't you also have a harvest?" Hou Hongliang said with a smile: "This seems to be the first time that a web drama has won an award. This is a breakthrough event, and it is a cause for celebration."
The two of them exchanged a wave of "commercial praise", while Li Xue next to them introduced Meng Bai's identity to Liu Heping and several leading actors.
Strictly speaking, Meng Bai is actually a member of the "All Quiet in Peking" crew. But at that time he was just a small screenwriter for each episode, and he didn't even know the big guys in these crews, let alone know them.
But now it is different. Although online dramas are still a bit inferior to TV dramas, they are more for actors. Behind-the-scenes producers and company bosses like Meng Bai are not that different from traditional film and television companies.
After chatting with Hou Hongliang and Kong Sheng, Meng Bai briefly greeted several senior leading actors next to him. Although these people are just actors, their qualifications and achievements are there, so it’s okay to be polite.
Everyone was quite polite to Meng Bai, a young man, and they all stood up and chatted with a smile.
This shows the difference between the actors and stars on stage and the creative bosses behind the scenes. If it were those traffic stars, no matter how popular they were, these senior-level old actors would only respond twice, and they would not care at all in their hearts. No matter
how popular you are, it has nothing to do with me. Who cares how many fans and traffic you have.
But behind-the-scenes creators like Meng Bai are different. Although they are also young newcomers, they are taking the top route. With two hit dramas in hand, no one can say how the future development will be.
To put it in the most realistic way, as an actor, no one can say when they will find someone and contact them for a role or something. Make a good relationship in advance, so that at least they can have a relationship.
No one said much, they just sat together anyway, and there would be plenty of time to chat after the ceremony started.
Meng Bai had already seen Li Qin sitting on the other side, and asked Wu Bai and Yu Yi, but they were too lazy to move, so he went there alone.
Li Qin came alone, and after entering the venue, she looked around and saw Meng Bai chatting with others.
Seeing that the guy finally finished chatting and looked over at her, she was immediately happy and waved at him.
Looking at Meng Bai walking towards her, Li Qin suddenly realized that she was a little too enthusiastic just now. Thinking of this, she quickly restrained the expression on her face, sat back in her seat, and tried to maintain a faint smile.
Watching the other person approaching little by little from the corner of her eye, just when Li Qin calculated the distance between them and was about to stand up naturally, she saw Meng Bai suddenly stop, looked around, and then started chatting with a short-haired girl not far away with a surprised smile.
Li Qin's originally joyful mood suddenly stagnated. She pursed her lips and snorted in her heart.
This person is really a girl he knows wherever he goes.
Because she was sitting at the back, she couldn't see who the girl was. But from Meng Bai's expression, the two people should be quite familiar with each other.
Haha, still laughing, and laughing quite happily!
On the other side, Meng Bai naturally didn't know the complicated inner thoughts of Li Qin.
He was just walking towards this side, and suddenly heard someone next to him calling "Meng Bai". Turning his head, he saw a baby-faced woman with short hair looking at him with a smile.
"I felt like you when you came in just now, but I didn't dare to recognize you. I didn't expect it to be you." The woman said enthusiastically: "Why, you don't recognize me? I'm Zhang Jianing."
"How could I not recognize you." Meng Bai smiled and greeted: "It's been many years since we last met, Senior Sister, you really haven't changed at all."
