Chapter 110 Teacher Li is still the most considerate
"Congratulations, Teacher Meng."
"Thank you, Teacher Li."
On the stage, Meng Bai took the trophy from Li Qin. They were "hypocritically" polite to each other, and then they couldn't help but smile at each other.
"Have you prepared your speech?" Li Qin asked in a low voice while handing over the trophy.
"This kind of thing still needs preparation. Isn't it enough to thank the audience, the crew and the organizer?" Meng Bai said in an experienced tone, but after speaking, he added jokingly: "Don't worry, we won't miss our teacher Li."
"Humph, just remember it."
Wanhe Tianyi also went on stage with Meng Bai and the others. They also came with a team, led by their chief planner "Beast" Yi Xiaoxing. However, their soul figure "Wang Dachui" was not seen. It seems that he didn't come today.
While the results and introductions of the two works were played on the big screen, Meng Bai weighed the trophy in his hand.
The first feeling when he got it was that it was very light. I don't know what alloy it was made of to make it hollow and then painted with a layer of gold paint on the outside. The appearance is quite good. At first glance, it looks like an Oscar statuette. I wonder if they are all imported from Yiwu.
On the base of the trophy, the words "2014 National Drama Festival Annual Most Popular Online Drama" are engraved, which is the only difference between the various awards.
Don't say it, although I joked with Wu Bai and others in the audience that this award was added by the organizer to attract attention and it has no gold content. But when I really hold this "copycat Oscar statuette" in my hand, it is a different feeling.
No matter what, my buddy really won the award.
Meng Bai sighed here, and the people from Wanhe Tianyi on the other side had already started to give their acceptance speeches. The process is similar to what Zhang Ruoyun said before, first thank, then wish, and finally ask for a familiar face.
Meng Bai was brewing what he was going to say next, and Li Qin on the side suddenly moved towards him, and whispered without moving his lips: "Your tie is crooked."
He looked down and it seemed to be a little messy. I wonder if it was touched when he walked out of the audience just now.
However, he didn't care much about such details, and just pulled it twice, just as if he had sorted it out.
Li Qin watched his operation speechlessly, but there was no time to say anything at this time. She pulled him to the side, and then raised her hand to help him sort it out quickly.
Meng Bai took a look, but in fact he didn't see any difference from before, but still whispered: "Thank you, Teacher Li, or you are the most thoughtful."
Li Qin wanted to say a few words back, but Wan He Tianyi's speech was over, and it was the turn of the "Soul Ferry" crew. She had to suppress her words in her heart, showing a standard smile, and stood behind Meng Bai with Wu Bai and others.
Standing in front of the microphone, Meng Bai looked down, and what he saw was a series of black holes and eyes full of different emotions, together with the spotlight, all focused on him.
For a moment, he even had a vague illusion that "the destiny belongs to me".
No wonder so many celebrities try their best to pursue higher popularity and heat. This feeling of being the center of attention is indeed addictive.
But for Meng Bai, who has been working behind the scenes for many years, this state of being too "attention-seeking" is a bit uncomfortable. He is not a person who likes to be in the spotlight in public.
Fortunately, he quickly collected his mind, took a deep breath, and said, "Hello everyone, I am Meng Bai, the producer and chief screenwriter of "Soul Ferry."
As soon as the self-introduction was finished, there was no reaction in the guest area on the first floor, but the fan area on the second floor was instantly noisy.
"So this is the screenwriter of 'Pendulum'!"
"The screenwriter is so handsome, I thought he was a new actor in the second season."
"The idiot screenwriter dug a hole and didn't fill it! Why is he filming a criminal investigation drama instead of focusing on 'Soul Ferry 2'?"
"..."
"Meng Bai, when will 'Soul Ferry 2' be released?"
An exceptionally loud girl's voice came from the second floor, interrupting Meng Bai who was expressing his gratitude on the stage.
"Look how anxious this girl is." Dou Wentao at the side hurriedly said: "Why don't our teacher Meng Bai give her a reply first, otherwise I'm afraid that girl will jump down from above soon."
A low laugh sounded at the scene. Meng Bai naturally would not refuse such a good opportunity to advertise, and said: "Actually, I don't really want to advertise here. After all, we are the exclusive online broadcast of Qiyi TV today. But since you asked, "Soul Ferry 2" will be officially launched in January next year, which is the middle of next month... on our Qiyi TV's 'friendly site'. Everyone is welcome to support it."
No one knows how the person in charge of Qiyi TV feels now. Fortunately, Meng Bai did not directly say the name of Leshi.com, which saved face for both parties.
After the episode, Meng Bai continued what he had not finished saying: "Thanks to our crew and all the actors for their efforts, and thanks to the organizers of the National Drama Festival for giving our web series a chance to be recognized. In addition, I would like to especially thank our "Soul Ferry" heroine, Ms. Li Qinli, for joining our "low-cost" web series project when she only saw a script at the beginning."
Listening to Meng Bai's thanks, Li Qin behind him couldn't help but recall the scene when she first met Meng Bai. At that time, he relied on a set of sweet words that she still hasn't reacted to, "tricking" herself into agreeing to his plan that sounded extremely simple and unreliable.
Unexpectedly, the decision made just to recover the loss has kept the two of them tied up for so long.
She was thinking about it in the back, and Meng Bai's speech came to an end.
According to the plan, generally after saying something like "I will continue to work hard in the future and bring more excellent works to the audience", you can bow and leave the stage.
Dou Wentao, who was standing by, heard Meng Bai's words and was about to continue the process, but he paused for a second and added another sentence.
"I just said that I am grateful to the organizer for giving our web drama an opportunity to be recognized. This is not just a polite gesture. As everyone knows, web dramas, as a new form of the film and television industry, rarely have the opportunity to appear in the mainstream media. Today's award is called 'Most Favorite Web Drama', and it is because of the support and popularity of the audience that there is such an opportunity. But I still hope that one day in the future, web dramas can also have their own true 'Best of the Year'. Thank you everyone."
After saying this, everyone at the scene was a little confused. What does "truly your own 'Best of the Year'" mean? Could it be that you want to create an independent award for web dramas?
But even if they don't understand, few people take it to heart. Anyway, the speech is over, just applaud and go off the stage to continue the rest of the process.
After stepping off the stage, Meng Bai held up the trophy in his hand and asked Yu Yi, who had won the award last year, "Brother Yi, the organizer of this trophy shouldn't recycle it, right?"
"What's there to recycle about this thing? It's only 200 yuan on Taobao."
"That's fine." Meng Bai said with peace of mind, "I'll set up an honors room in the company. This will be the starting point of Arclight Films. Let's wait and see when it can be filled up."
