Chapter 482 I will try my best to serve my master
"Now, the winners of the 32nd Feitian Awards for TV Dramas in the category of 'Times and Struggle' are - "A Flowing River", "Emergency Doctors", "Little Joy", and "The Hidden Corner"! Congratulations to the four works!"
Hearing the invitation from the host on the stage, Meng Bai stood up and smiled to thank the invited guests who were applauding and congratulating him, and then walked onto the stage accompanied by passionate music.
Taking the golden trophy and certificate in the shape of the "Flying Goddess" from the award presenter, Meng Bai looked down and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling of mistake.
At the beginning of the year, he jointly proposed with several major video platforms and online drama production companies in the name of Arclight, asking the Feitian Awards to agree to include online drama projects in the award's registration list.
At the beginning, he always focused on the Feitian Awards.
Firstly, he initiated the nomination of online dramas, and "The Hidden Corner" happened to be a representative of the comprehensive level of domestic online dramas in the past two years;
secondly, the Feitian Award is different from other awards. It has more places in the "Excellent TV Series" category, and can issue more than a dozen in one session, so there is no shortage of one place for Arclight.
Unexpectedly, the Golden Eagle and Magnolia Awards intervened and announced that they would join the online drama selection. Then Magnolia took advantage of its early hosting time to give out the grand prize first.
And once it was given, it was directly given to several online dramas, which can be said to be a gimmick.
As we all know, the Feitian Award has always liked to slap the Magnolia Award in the face. It often happens that one award chooses someone, but the other does not choose someone.
So although there are many online dramas on the nomination list for this Feitian Award, such as "The Longest Day in Chang'an", "Suddenly This Summer", "Hello, Opponent", etc., only "The Hidden Corner" was on the final list of winners.
Meng Bai even suspected that if he had not reserved it long ago, the Feitian Awards would not be able to save face and go back on their word, not even wanting to give this only spot.
Of course, if this situation really happened, he would have to find someone to talk it over.
Perhaps considering this point, the jury finally left this spot to "The Secret Corner", saving a lot of trouble for both parties.
After delivering his acceptance speech and stepping down, Meng Bai returned to his seat, took a photo with the certificate and trophy in front of him, and posted a circle of friends.
[The Secret Corner's Grand Slam achievement: 2/3, I hope it can be made up next month. ]
The Golden Eagle Award is the last of the three major awards, and it will not be held until the end of October. "The Secret Corner" was also shortlisted for the final award.
By then, whether it can get the only "Best TV Series" or the second-class "Excellent TV Series", it can be regarded as unlocking the "Grand Slam" achievement.
"Ding~"
The phone vibrated, Meng Bai glanced at the screen, it was a WeChat message from Meng Ziyi.
Meng Ziyi: [The first to like! Uncle, praise me! 】
Meng Ziyi: [Screenshot]
Meng Ziyi: [It has to be me.jpg]
Looking at this confident expression, Meng Bai chuckled and replied: [Is there a possibility that WeChat Moments is not QQ Moments, and you can't see the likes my friends gave me. 】
This girl seemed to have been holding her phone and waiting. After the message was sent, she replied almost immediately.
Meng Ziyi: [I don't care. Anyway, I see the first one here, which means that I care the most in our common scope. 】
Meng Bai: [Wow, you are great! 】
Meng Ziyi: [(*^▽^*)]
This girl's personality has always been that no matter whether the other party is sincere or yin and yang, I will be happy if you praise me.
Meng Bai: [You seem to be very free? Did you finish work so early tonight? 】
He was a little confused. This girl was recently filming the palace drama part of "Eastern Palace" in Hengdian, and she complained about too many night scenes every day.
Meng Ziyi: [No way, I'm still on the set now, but I just happened to finish filming a scene and am resting. The director said there is an important plot, and it would be best if we can finish it all at once today. I guess we won’t be able to finish work until the second half of the night. 】
Meng Bai: [What’s the progress? Director Xie told me that the Taohuawu variety show will start recording at the end of next month. If you can’t make it, I’ll ask him to postpone it. 】
Meng Ziyi: [No, no, we only have about one-fifth of the scenes left, and we can finish shooting by mid-October. 】
Meng Bai: [Okay, then you work hard. After filming for several months, it’s just right to take a break when recording the variety show. 】
Meng Bai: [You can continue to stay up late, I’m going back to sleep after this ceremony. 】
Meng Ziyi: [(へ╬)Angry! ! 】
At the set of "Eastern Palace" in Yokodian, Meng Ziyi angrily sent an emoticon.
She thought Meng Bai was comforting herself with the previous sentence, and she felt happy in her heart, but she didn’t expect that the next sentence would "stab" her.
The little uncle is so annoying!
On the other side, Meng Bai, who had just "hurt" his little niece, was looking at WeChat with a smile on his face, and he was still at the ceremony.
The "Excellent TV Series" of the Feitian Awards is divided into three groups. Meng Bai and his team are only in the first group, and there will be some time to go.
While the second group of winners on the stage were giving their speeches, he flipped through the message in the circle of friends just now.
As a person who rarely posts on WeChat Moments, after Meng Bai sent this message, the little red dots on the message notification basically never stopped, with congratulations and congratulations.
He picked out Li Qin, Li Yitong, and close friends such as Guo Fan and Zhang Ruoyun to reply, and the rest were directly replied with an emoticon package of "thank you".
After a rough glance, he was about to exit WeChat when he suddenly saw a new message prompt. He clicked it and took a look. It was from Zhao Jinmai.
Zhao Jinmai: [Congratulations, Brother Meng Bai! You will definitely succeed in the Golden Eagle Award next month! ]
Meng Bai hesitated for a moment, but still clicked on her WeChat chat box.
Meng Bai: [Thank you, Mai Mai. Has the crew finished work? 】
At the same time, in the crew of Blue Island's "Beginning", Zhao Jinmai, who had just finished filming the last scene of the day and was waiting to return to the hotel, suddenly felt her phone vibrate.
She quickly opened the screen and looked at the reply message from "Brother Meng Bai" on the top, and couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Jinmai: [It's time to finish work. The director said that there are more scenes tomorrow and we have to go to new scenes, so we're going to finish work early today and rest. ]
Zhao Jinmai: [Brother Meng Bai, do you know where we're going to shoot tomorrow! !
] Meng Bai: [I don't know, where are we going?
] Zhao Jinmai: [Amusement park! It's written on the shooting notice that tomorrow's scene will be shot at Fantawild Park! ]
Meng Bai: [Wow, not bad. Then you guys finish shooting early tomorrow, and you can still play there. ]
On the other side, Zhao Jinmai's eyes lit up when she saw the message, and she quickly typed: : [Really, Brother Meng Bai? Can we play there? ]
Meng Bai: [Sure, there are more scenes in the daytime for tomorrow's scene, and there should be two night scenes. If the filming goes smoothly, it will be finished around eight or nine o'clock. The crew has negotiated with the park and it will be open until 12 o'clock in the evening. You can still have some fun after you finish. 】
Zhao Jinmai looked at the message sent by Meng Bai and her mood suddenly became cheerful.
She has always wanted to go to the amusement park, but because of filming in recent years, she has either been working or taking extra classes during her vacation time, so she really hasn't had much time.
It's rare that she has the opportunity to go to the amusement park because of the plot. I thought I could only look around, but I didn't expect that I could set aside a little time to play. This is really great!
But as she laughed, the expression on her face suddenly froze.
That's not right. Brother Meng Bai even knows how many scenes the crew will shoot tomorrow. How could he not know where to shoot?
Calm down and think about it again. He is the producer. All the movements of the crew must be reported to him. How could he not know the shooting arrangements for tomorrow!
Damn, so embarrassing. I even naively introduced him...
Zhao Jinmai: [Brother Meng Bai... liar! ]
Meng Bai: [Where do I start?]
Zhao Jinmai: [You clearly know the crew's schedule for tomorrow, but you lied to me and said you didn't know.]
Meng Bai: [Haha, don't worry about those details, just say whether you are happy or not.]
Zhao Jinmai: [It's... not bad.]
Meng Bai: [It happens to be your birthday tomorrow, just treat it as a small gift from the crew.]
In the plot, with the male and female protagonists' repeated explorations, they finally locked the murderer who detonated the bus. However, during the confrontation, Xiao Heyun accidentally stabbed the murderer "Auntie Guo" to death in order to save Li Shiqing.
In order to avoid being caught by the police and collect new clues as much as possible, the two "fled" everywhere and ran into the amusement park hoping to get rid of the pursuit through the complex terrain and crowds.
This plot is at the end of the whole drama, and it will take some time to shoot according to the normal shooting schedule.
It's just that the National Day is in a few days. Although the number of tourists may not be so large this year due to the flu, it will still be a peak period for the amusement park. It will be difficult to rent a venue for shooting at that time.
Therefore, Meng Bai discussed with Wu Bai and his team of directors and decided to finish filming this segment in advance before the National Day holiday.
As for negotiating with the amusement park to give more time to help the little girl celebrate her birthday, it was all a side job.
On the crew side, Zhao Jinmai felt warm in her heart when she saw the message sent by Meng Bai.
It turned out that Brother Meng Bai cared so much about his birthday that he specially moved the amusement park scene to his birthday. This not only gave a gift, but also would not make other people in the crew feel that they were too special.
The little girl pursed her lips, her big eyes reflecting the light of the screen, flashing an inexplicable brilliance in the dark night.
"What are you laughing at?"
Mother Zhao, who had just come to pick up Zhao Jinmai from work, asked curiously as she saw her daughter's face full of smiles that she couldn't hide.
"Ah, mom, you're here!"
Zhao Jinmai, who was awakened from the inner atmosphere, blinked her eyes and quickly closed WeChat with her hand: "Nothing, I just saw a short video that was quite interesting."
"Really? What was it?"
"It's just a funny joke, I can't find it after refreshing."
"Oh."
Zhao's mother responded, she just asked casually: "Go back to the hotel and rest, you have to get up early tomorrow morning."
"Okay."
Zhao Jinmai responded obediently and left with her mother. When she was in the car, she took advantage of her inattention and secretly sent a message to Meng Bai to explain and say good night. After
sending it, she thought about whether she should ask him again if he could come back tomorrow. But after thinking about it, she was worried that this would disturb the other party's work. She hesitated for a while holding the phone, and finally gave up.
It's okay, just know that Brother Meng Bai cares about me, it doesn't matter whether I can come back or not.
It was already eleven o'clock when I returned to the hotel. After washing and getting ready and lying on the bed, Zhao Jinmai tossed and turned and couldn't sleep because she had something on her mind.
Time passed by little by little. Seeing the time on her phone change from 11:59 to 00:00, she stared at the screen without blinking.
"Ding~"
The WeChat notification sounded. She nervously clicked on the small green square, and saw a "Happy Birthday" message in the top chat.
"Huh——"
Zhao Jinmai turned off the screen contentedly, then hugged the phone and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Tomorrow, no, today is my birthday, and I will definitely have a good dream tonight.
——After
the ceremony, there was an interview. After the interview, Meng Bai took Hua Yan and the others who were accompanying him to have a midnight snack together, and did not return to the hotel to rest until the early morning. When he woke up in the morning, it was already morning. He
took the phone and took a look, and found that he had sent a birthday blessing to Mai Mai at midnight last night.
Oh, yes, I asked Xiaoyi to write down the date and send the blessing automatically, so as not to forget it.
"Xiaoyi."
"I'm here!"
"Good job."
"Thank you for the compliment, I will try my best to serve the master."
He ordered the hotel to deliver the food and asked them to deliver it in an hour and a half. Meng Bai put on a sports vest and went to the hotel gym.
After his birthday at the beginning of the year, he officially turned 30. In order to ensure that he is energetic, he must stick to daily fitness and exercise.
There is no way. The inspiration fragments only work on the mind, not the body. Only by honing his body can he always keep suppressing Teacher Li and the others.
Fortunately, as a boss, Meng Bai doesn't even need to work from nine to five, and has a lot of free time, so it is not difficult to stick to it.
This is why many rich people seem to have a good figure - professional personal training guidance, sufficient rest time, carefully matched diet ratios, and a stress-free daily atmosphere...
With so many buffs, any normal person will have a good effect.
So instead of saying "self-discipline gives people freedom", it is better to say "freedom can make people self-disciplined."
After the gym, I went back to the room to wash up. When I came out, the hotel just delivered the meal.
I came with my assistant.
"Have you eaten?"
Meng Bai sat down at the table and asked casually, "If not, let's eat together."
Hua Yan looked at the sumptuous brunch on the table and swallowed her saliva: "I have eaten, but since you asked, I can't not give you face... Then eat a little more?"
Her tone was still questioning, but her body had already honestly sat down opposite, and she didn't know where she found the tableware.
"Do you have any schedule later?"
"Gurgle... There are several invitations to industry conferences in the afternoon, and several interview invitations about the Feitian Award..."
Hua Yan swallowed the food in her mouth while reporting the itinerary invitations familiarly.
"The industry will pick the ones with more people. As for the interviews, you can choose two and turn down the others."
"Okay."
The assistant agreed immediately.
If it was a celebrity, then basically all these interviews and activities would have to be done. But my boss is not one of them, so there is nothing wrong with turning them down directly.
Besides, even if only two or three activities are left, the afternoon time is almost full, and it is impossible to schedule them.
Hua Yan muttered to herself while eating, it seems that I can't go back to Blue Island today.
