Chapter 82

The stars are shining.

Before reaching the red carpet, Bai Gaoxing felt these four words from Li Pu.

The time he spent watching at home just now was too short. Now that he was in the car, he realized that the man was already ready.

He was wearing a well-tailored dark grey suit, with his hair pulled back to shape. The water droplets that had not yet dried up reflected the warm light inside the car, and his calm eyes seemed to be smiling.

The lights were just coming on, and the light from outside was reflected in the car window, casting shadows, making the already handsome eyebrows, eyes and nose even deeper.

The man slowly adjusted his cufflinks, revealing a watch on his wrist, which was probably more expensive than the one he wore when they first met. He was wearing a silver brooch on his chest, but the pattern couldn't be seen clearly because it was too bright. His long legs were bent in the relatively spacious space, and his back was slightly relaxed leaning on the seat. His whole body exuded an aura of dignity and elegance.

Coupled with the other party's inadvertent glance at him...

Bai Gaoxing felt that he was being attacked.

Still a critical hit.

"I really don't know what Director Sun was thinking. He even let Dabai attend the award ceremony. You and the organizers agreed to it."

Lei Li sat on the other side, pointed at the bird bag with her fingertips, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, we don't have to let it walk the red carpet."

The agent was also dressed up today, with her long curly hair neatly tied up and a bright red lip, looking very cool.

"Director Sun mentioned it before," Li Pu said calmly, "and I refused."

"Yes, the scene is too chaotic."

The glaring bright lights, the noisy crowds, and the loud noises are unbearable for any white-collar worker. It would be terrible if they were startled and flew away.

"Then, let Xiaomei take Dabai to stay in their seats." Lei Li said.

Mei Youshu who was standing in front heard it and agreed with a smile, “Okay”.

The simple and luxurious interior accessories, the fresh and elegant fragrance, and the slow-tempo music seem to be designed to kill the boring time on the journey.

Standing in the bird bag, Bai Gaoxing looked at Lei Li, then at Li Pu, then at Assistant Mei who was driving in the front, and Assistant Lin who was sitting quietly in the passenger seat. He couldn't help but look forward to what kind of big scene would happen next.

Although it’s a pity that he couldn’t walk the red carpet with Li Pho, as an actor parrot, he was already ahead of the times by being able to participate in this awards ceremony!

The Golden Tung Awards ceremony was held in a splendid and magnificent venue. From a distance, countless flashing lights and cameras were gathered and arranged. Reporters were squatting in various positions with long guns and short cannons and microphones, taking pictures of the stars who had already entered the venue.

Li Pu and Lei Li went to the red carpet entrance, while Bai Gaoxing was brought by two assistants to the seats reserved for "The Long Song Show".

The nominated actors from the crew of "The Long Ballad" were preparing to walk the red carpet together, so there were not many people here at the moment. Bai Gaoxing was held in Lin Shi's arms with his bag, and he could just see the entire red carpet.

There were people all around and it was very lively. I saw two people coming with a bag and looked at them curiously.

I wonder if they saw that there was a bird inside, Bai Gaoxing thought to himself jokingly.

The crew members walking the red carpet passed by one by one, and Bai Gaoxing found that they had no intention of letting him out - but he could have guessed it, except that the sound quality was a bit bad because of the bag.

Vaguely, he heard the host say, "The next crew..."

There was thunderous applause and deafening cheers, and the enthusiasm was even higher than before.

It should be Li Pho’s crew!

really.

The sound of shutter clicks came one after another, and dazzling flash lights suddenly merged into one. The crew of "The Long Song" led by Director Sun walked to the center of the red carpet.

On the red carpet, Li Pho was wearing a dark grey haute couture suit. The tightly buttoned and white lining gave him an air of coolness and abstinence. In addition, the live broadcast camera stayed on his handsome face for a long time, causing people who knew him to shout excitedly.

The same goes for people watching the live broadcast online.

Even when the luxury car stopped at the door and a long leg stepped out from the door, everyone started screaming.

【Ahhhhhh my god! Photographer plus chicken legs! 】

[As expected of Teacher Li, she always dazzles everyone on the red carpet!!]

[It was amazing at that stop. Teacher Li was supposed to be a foil for the actress, but she ended up being the one that stood out! ]

Palace dramas are, of course, mostly female actors, such as Huang Shaqing and Pei Jue. Li Pu stood beside several bright beauties, like a green dot among thousands of flowers, tall and reserved, which made him look particularly handsome.

Not to mention how obvious the comparison is to other male actors.

[Every time Mr. Li walks on the red carpet, men don’t want to stand next to him 2333]

[Our teacher Li looks even more handsome in comparison... Of course, other brothers are also very good! But I really don’t like Teacher Li’s looks...]

[Have you seen Teacher Li’s brooch? It’s a big white cat! ]

Bai Gaoxing was also infected by this atmosphere and couldn't help but cheer twice in his bag. However, he was discovered by Assistant Kobayashi, who thought he was not feeling well and asked him about his health.

"How does it feel to stand here again?" The host passed the microphone to Director Sun, "Can you guess how many of these outstanding actors behind you will win awards?"

Director Sun was already familiar with this kind of question. Of course, he couldn't just say something random. He smiled and said, "You also said that they are all excellent actors. They are all excellent. The actors in other crews are also excellent. It's hard to guess. As for the final winner, of course it depends on the judges."

The surrounding media laughed, and the live audience also exclaimed, "This wave of pressure has been directly transferred!"

Then, the host interviewed everyone one by one. Bai Gaoxing could clearly feel that when it came to Li Pu, the mood on the scene reached its peak.

The flash was blinding him.

Bai Gaoxing squinted his eyes for a while, and looked at the red carpet again after the surrounding light returned to normal.

Magnesium lights shone in all directions, like a dazzling light showering down, but among this group of people, only Li Pho made him feel extremely dazzling and shining.

Bai Gaoxing was unconsciously immersed in this atmosphere and was a little distracted for a moment, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a sneer coming from somewhere.

And a familiar word.

Was it an illusion? Or did I hear it wrong?

Bai Gaoxing looked around and finally saw a male star who was also attending the award ceremony sitting not far away.

He has slightly curly hair, a high nose and deep eyes, and has a mixed-race appearance.

The man faced them sideways, his eyes fixed on the stage, his expression unclear.

Then, Mei Youshu, who was sitting diagonally in front of Lin Shi, also glanced in that direction, frowned inadvertently, and quickly returned to his original calm expression.

It didn't seem to be his illusion.

Bai Gaoxing looked at the man in front of him, wondering unconsciously, could it be that he has a grudge against Li Pu?

Before he could observe further, another round of applause broke out, and the new crew walked onto the red carpet, while Li Pho and his group walked down from the other side and returned to their seats.

"Teacher Li, you really brought Dabai here!"

As soon as Huang Shaqing sat down, she noticed the bird bag in the hand of the young girl at the neighboring table, and the snow-white and familiar bird face in the bag!

After hearing this, Pei Jue immediately turned around and started looking, "Where is it? Where is it?!"

Li Pu had no choice but to take the bird bag from Lin Shi and said, "Here."

Looking at the beautiful face he hadn't seen for a long time, Bai Gaoxing raised his paw in his bag and greeted her: "Long time no see!"

"Ahhh, you're still so adorable!" Huang Shaqing almost clung to Bird Bag, her heart softening, "How about this, Dabai, come home with me and don't follow Teacher Li anymore."

"That's a nice thought." Pei Jue said with a smile.

Tian Xin, who was sitting at the table next to her, also leaned over to look at the parrot. "I'm really at a loss! Who would have thought that when I was on set, I didn't even have time to look at Dabai more!"

Someone on the side said: "Who told you to give too many notices, King of Rolls——"

Listening to the noisy crowd, Bai Gaoxing excitedly shook his wings and came up with the idea of ​​coming out to take a look - he tried to hook the zipper open with his claws, but unfortunately he was discovered by Li Pu before he could act, and the zipper was fixed with his hands.

The super long camera jib began to move around the venue, showing the stars in the photo one by one on the big screen. When it moved in front of Li Pho, it also captured the parrot beside him.

[Hey guys, that's Dabai? ? ]

【Teacher Li actually brought Dabai in as well!!! That’s fine too!】

[Calm down, don't forget that Dabai is also an actor in "The Long Ballad". 】

[I remember Director Sun said on Weibo that he thought Dabai was an excellent animal actor and was fully qualified to participate in the awards ceremony.]

The audience watching the live broadcast were very surprised when the big white parrot suddenly appeared in the camera.

【I suggest that Dabai win the Best Actor award (funny).】

【agree!】

【Agree 2! 】

[Where do you put Teacher Li! I suggest you just buy him a double yellow (happy)]

Most of the stars present were trying hard to manage their expressions in front of the camera and show their best side, but Bai Gaoxing noticed that the man in front of him had a worried look on his face and was holding his phone tightly.

With the intuition of a small animal, he couldn't help but feel a little wary of this man.

But soon, Bai Gaoxing's attention was diverted.

The award ceremony officially begins.

There are many Golden Tung Awards, from the Newcomer Award to various technical awards, which heated up the atmosphere until the Best TV Series Award was announced, when a sense of tension appeared in the air.

"Next, the winner of the Best TV Series Award is——"

Everyone in the audience held their breath.

"The Long Song! Congratulations!"

The people present applauded, and cheers broke out online.

Then, "The Long Ballad" lived up to expectations and won several awards including Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, and Best Art Direction.

At this time, the Best Director Award has been presented.

In the camera, Director Sun smiled easily, but the flickering light in his eyes showed that he was not calm inside.

The host once again whetted people's appetite and spoke, and two words appeared on the screen:

grandson mentor.

On site and online, there was a festive atmosphere.

[I am both happy and surprised. After all, the efforts of Director Sun Da are obvious to all the fans! ]

[Are you referring to the efforts of Mr. Sun to cast the parrot actor? ]

[Hahaha, of course that counts! This is called striving for excellence! The attitude wins.]

Only Bai Gaoxing is stupid.

He stared at the huge electronic screen, analyzing it carefully to make sure that the names of the people who appeared in each award were their full names.

I'll go.

His real name is Director Sun!

It is not the honorific that most people recognize by default, but the surname is Sun and the given name is Dao! ?

Bai Gaoxing shook his head.

Huang Shaqing laughed loudly, "Every time I see Director Sun's name at award ceremonies, I feel that the entire TV drama industry respects him very much."

Other directors are called by their full names, but he is called Director ×.

"Anyway, when Director Sun was young and just entered the industry, his seniors felt that his name was very advantageous..." someone added.

Fortunately, Director Sun is not picky and said that it’s ok to just call him normal, otherwise everyone would have to call him “Director Sun” now.

The following Best Actor and Best Actress awards are the biggest highlights of today.

Although "The Long Ballad" won many awards today, it cannot be said that the Best Actor and Best Actress awards are secure, because in addition to it, there is another popular drama competing with it.

"A Trip to the Imperial Palace".

The drama starring last year's TV King Park Jiahui was also a palace drama, and the excellent script received rave reviews online.

It can be said that he and Li Piao are the two most popular candidates for the Best Actor award this year.

[Teacher Li was not involved in the last term, otherwise maybe Teacher Li could have been re-elected for two terms? ]

[I’m not a fan, I think Mr. Park’s acting is much better than Li Pho’s, haha. ]

[Uh uh uh, I don’t want to watch you fighting at this time, just shut up and watch the live broadcast. 】

The most exciting moment has arrived.

Screenshots of the two dramas were played on the big screen at the award ceremony, and the flashing magnesium lights illuminated the entire venue as bright as day.

Bai Gaoxing couldn't help but raise his head, his claws tightly grasping the prickly ash wood he was using to stand on.

The host took the freshly opened card and read out the awards in a soothing tone, pausing at the last second.

"The Long Song, by Li Pu."

Silence, followed by thunderous applause.

Perhaps only the actors from "The Long Song" crew had normal expressions at the scene. For some reason, they never thought that the award would go to anyone else.

Bai Gaoxing couldn't help it and jumped around in the bag several times, causing the bag to shake.

Having been in the crew for such a long time, he can be said to have watched Li Pho filming. This feeling of honor is simply indescribable!

The audience watching the live broadcast were equally excited.

[I was so moved that I cried, as expected! As expected of Li Pho! 】

[Ahhhhhh, this feeling of the dust settling and my body being filled up... I feel good.]

Li Pho went up to the stage to receive the award, and others helped put the bird bag on the table, which made the viewing angle much higher.

Bai Gaoxing saw the man in front of him looking back. After a moment of silence, he smiled, stood up, and came to him when Li Pu finished his speech and came down with the trophy.

"Teacher Li, congratulations."

The man raised the corners of his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Thank you." Li Pu replied politely but distantly.

As the Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Supporting Actor awards were announced one by one, the entire award ceremony came to an end.

However, the host still had an envelope in his hand.

"We also have a special award, which will be awarded to a special actor present here after consultation by the Golden Tung Awards Organizing Committee."

At this point, almost everyone realized what this meant.

Of all the nominated TV series, only one had a special actor.

"The Long Song", Dabai.

When Bai Gaoxing heard the host say his name, he was stunned for a long while before he let out a bird's cry in surprise.

Does he have it too!?

"Ahhhhhhhh! How do I get this prize?" Huang Shaqing said excitedly.

Li Pho stood up for the second time and walked onto the award-winning platform on the red carpet.

"Dabai was able to win the Golden Tong Award. As Dabai's owner, Mr. Li, what do you think?" The host handed the microphone to him.

Li Pu thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Da Bai must want to receive this award in person."

Ah! He knew him so well!

Bai Gaoxing nodded frantically. He really thought so.

The host was amused by Li Pu's humor and said, "Next time we have the chance, we must let Dabai come and pick it up in person."

Li Pho slightly suppressed his smile and began to speak formally about his acceptance speech:

"In fact, it was Director Sun who saw Dabai's ability in the beginning."

"Dabai has used his talent in the crew... He seems to like acting very much..."

"In the future, I hope Baymax will have more opportunities to try."

Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu under the light, and felt a warm and soft touch in his heart.

…

By the time the ceremony was over, it was already very late.

The red carpet was still as fiery in color, but the seats were scattered on the ground, waiting to be cleared by the staff.

With fewer people around, Bai Gaoxing was given the long-lost right to move freely. Carrying the flying rope on his back, he followed Li Pho through the long and quiet corridor.

The main light of the corridor has been turned off, and the whole place seems extremely dark. However, the road is not far away, and the occasional car passing by and the sound of horns can make this road seem less gloomy.

Just as they were about to reach the exit, a figure ran into them head-on.

Li Pu turned around and dodged.

"Merde."

After a while, the other party uttered a word.

Bai Gaoxing's eyes widened slightly.

"T\'es pas le coussin de roi."

The man walked out of the darkness, smiling slightly, holding a notebook in his hand.

"I'm sorry, I was so absorbed in reciting my lines that I didn't notice you. Teacher Li, do you mind?"

“…”

Seeing that Li Pu did not answer, he shook the notebook in his hand again and said, "I heard that you also signed up for the audition for this movie, so we are competitors. But I happen to be very familiar with this foreign language, so I may have an advantage."

Bai Gaoxing was in a bad mood.

He understood what the man just said, after all, that was what he studied professionally.

The other party was using the so-called rhetoric to curse him.

But Li Pho seemed unaware of this?

Bai Gaoxing looked at Li Pu's expressionless face and found that he could not get any clues from his face.

The man with a malicious smile nodded to Li Pu and passed by him.

Bai Gaoxing couldn't help but look back, his eyes were always glued to the other person.

When the other person's back was about to merge into the darkness on the other side, he spoke coldly:

"Tu es un des perdants."
