Chapter 203 The

Wanhua Film Festival awards ceremony started at 7pm, and was broadcast live on the Sixth Princess Station. Before the live broadcast, the red carpet scene in the afternoon was replayed.

The girls in dormitory 401 came to the auditorium after dinner, around 6:40, and sat in front of the auditorium.

They thought they were going to watch a movie, but they didn't expect that the movie being shown in the auditorium today was the Wanhua Film Festival awards ceremony. The fact

that Beijing University chose to show the Wanhua Film Festival awards ceremony today instead of the "News Network" or other movies was also related to the "most popular actor" vote this time.

Because of the promotion during the winter vacation at the end of last year, basically everyone in Peking University knew that the author of the original novel of "White Snake" was a student of Peking University. The first stop of the "White Snake" crew's promotional roadshow was Peking University, and the movie was also played for free in the auditorium. Not all students in Peking University have seen this movie, but at least 70% of the students have seen it. Although they don't know that Jiang Bai is the cute brother of their Peking University alumnus, they are all impressed by Jiang Bai.

After the identity of Akihiro Moe as a Kyoto University student was exposed, many students who knew Akihiro Moe's works and those who didn't bought some of her works to read, especially liberal arts students. As for Akihiro Moe, who was so popular, they all wanted to know more about her. After buying some of her works, they also became her readers. Knowing that the TV series "King's Guard" would be aired during the National Day holiday, with two episodes a day, all the readers of "King's Guard" went to watch the TV series "King's Guard". Didn't they remember the actor who played "Ming Yue" who they had forgotten before? In addition, the two works played by Jiang Bai were all created by their Jingda students, Xi Meng. As Jingda students, they have to support Xi Meng, but not Jiang Bai?

So the students of the Jingda College of Literature spontaneously organized to vote for Jiang Bai. Many of the students who organized to vote for Jiang Bai came from a series of literary societies such as the Student Union and the May Fourth Literary Society.

The school auditorium is responsible for showing movies and TV series, which is the responsibility of the school student union.

Now, it is finally time for them to verify the results, so today, they did not show movies in the auditorium, but watched the live broadcast of the Wanhua Film Festival.

When the girls in dormitory 401 arrived, the award ceremony had not started yet, and the replay of the red carpet in the afternoon happened to be played.

They found a seat at random, five girls sat in a row, looking at the 25-inch color TV in front of them.

"Huh? No movie today? What's on TV?" Zhang Min asked curiously after sitting down, looking at the TV.

Cui Yujie, whose legs were cramping with pain but whose mouth was not limp at all, said immediately when she saw the opportunity to perform: "You don't know this, do you? This is the Wanhua Film Festival's awards ceremony. Didn't we vote for the 'most popular actor and actress awards' some time ago? We from Peking University even canvassed for votes for Jiang Bai. You don't know who Jiang Bai is, do you? He's Mingyue in last year's winter movie 'White Snake' and Gu Yunzhou in 'The Imperial Guards'. He's very famous now. Many of the votes were cast by our Peking University students. After all, Jing Meng is also our Peking University senior, so we still have to support our Peking University students."

Cui Yujie said reservedly, with a tone of pride in being at the forefront of fashion.

Zhang Min pouted: "If you don't know, you might think Jiang Bai was promoted by you!"

Although Zhang Min is not a fan, she also likes these fashionable things, and naturally knows Jiang Bai. Among those who voted for Jiang Bai, there was also a vote she contributed.

Cui Yujie said complacently: "I am a member of our literary club after all."

Although she is a science student, she is a science student who likes to write poetry. As soon as she came to Peking University, she signed up for the May Fourth Literary Society.

Speaking of the May Fourth Literary Society, when they learned that Xi Meng was a student at Peking University, they had been waiting for Xi Meng to join their literary club, but a school year has passed, and there has been no news that Xi Meng has joined the literary club, nor has she joined any other literary club. Many readers who have read Xi Meng's works are curious about who Xi Meng is in the sophomore year.

Cui Yujie was also very curious. After all, such a new and best-selling author was not a member of the Peking University Literary Society. It seemed that the people in these literary societies were very shameless to say that.

Some people also suspected that Xi Meng had already joined their literary society, but he was low-key and joined using his real name instead of a pen name.

The name Xi Meng was obviously a pen name, not a real name.

They also carefully calculated who Xi Meng was, and counted all the students of the 97th class who joined last year, but they still couldn't find anyone who might be Xi Meng.

Among the movie actors who appeared, some were familiar to them, and some were unfamiliar. Regardless of whether they knew them or not, they watched with gusto.

The crews of "White Snake" and "Party A and B" were among the crews that entered later. As the host announced: "The next to enter are the main creative team of "White Snake"..."

Cui Yujie and others who had voted for Jiang Bai, their eyes lit up and they all looked towards the "White Snake" crew. Walking in the front were, of course, the producer, director, and female lead, followed by the actors who played Xu Xian and Fahai, Jiang Bai, and Tong Jingang. There were quite a few people.

"Hey, hey, hey, look, isn't that Jiang Gui?" The "White Snake" crew was one of the protagonists today, so the camera gave them a lot of time. Although the main shots were on the directors and the main actors, and Jiang Gui was given very few shots, there were enough shots for the "White Snake" crew, so Jiang Gui, who was walking at the back and standing at the edge, was still scanned by the camera several times, not to mention the interview segment, where the camera was for a group photo of everyone standing together.

If they thought they were seeing Jiang Wu the first time on the red carpet, then when the camera scanned her again, they had already confirmed that it was really Jiang Wu, and Jiang Wu in the camera was stunningly beautiful. Even though she was not the protagonist of the camera, because she was so fashionable and beautiful, the camera could not help but give her several close-ups of her face and body, allowing the audience in front of the TV to see her clearly.

It also allowed Liu Yan and others in front of the TV to see Jiang Wu's face clearly.

"It's really Jiang Xi!" Zhang Min couldn't help but exclaimed, but what she cared about was: "Why is her hairstyle so good? And the suit she's wearing, girls look so good in suits!"

That look is very similar to the looks of several international superstars at a foreign film festival last year. In addition, Jiang Xi is tall enough and has her own aura. She looks no worse than the leading actress in a sparkling dress. It's very fashionable. They can't help but want to buy a suit like this to wear!

Cui Yujie stood up suddenly in shock, her legs softened in pain, and she sat back in her seat: "Why did Jiang Xi go there? Who did she go with? She she she..." She pointed at the TV and spoke incoherently, unable to believe her eyes.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Director Yu and the female lead who were being interviewed, but the girls in Dormitory 401 were all attracted by Jiang Xi who was standing at the edge.

They finally knew where Jiang Xi had gone since he hadn't returned to the dormitory in the past two days.

At first, they thought Jiang Xi knew that Cui Yujie had signed her up for many sports and deliberately avoided going back to school. Now, seeing Jiang Xi's dazzling and beautiful appearance at the film festival, they finally understood that Jiang Xi really didn't know that she was signed up.

Even if they didn't know much about film festivals, they knew that not everyone could participate in the Wanhua Film Festival. Even if they could go, they would be the same as the audience on both sides of the red carpet and could only be spectators. Those who could walk on the red carpet must have an invitation letter.

Cui Yujie suppressed her bad feeling and complained, "Why did Jiang Xi go to the Wanhua Film Festival? She even walked the red carpet with the "White Snake" crew. What is her relationship with the "White Snake" crew?"

Zhang Min guessed, "The relatives you said about Jiang Xi in Beijing, could they be from the "White Snake" crew?"

She suddenly thought of the "Most Popular Actor Award" that she voted for, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Jiang Bai! Jiang Xi! Oh my God! No way? Could it be that Jiang Bai took her there? Jiang Bai and Jiang Xi don't have any relationship, do they?"

These words made Cui Yujie feel like she was struck by lightning. These past few days, she has been running around to canvass for Jiang Bai's votes!

Shen Xinlan shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be possible. I've been to film festivals before, but I was always a spectator. Even if you are the family or friends of the director or actor, you can't just walk the red carpet with the crew."

Unless you are invited personally.

Soon it was time for the host to interview. The interview was nothing more than asking the director of "White Snake" if he was confident of winning the award, and interviewing Jiang Bo about his thoughts on him being selected as the "most popular actor among the audience."

If it were the Jiang Bo of the past, he might have said, "I don't have any thoughts."

But after just feeling the audience's love for him, he smiled shyly on his usually indifferent face and said to the audience who loved him, "Thank you for your love and votes." As he said that, he bowed slightly.

He didn't know what he had done to have so many people like him.

He just worked two summer jobs.

To him, it was just an ordinary job. Others paid him and he put in the effort. It was so simple, but it brought him the love of many people.

When he went to school this year, more people came to see him and more people came to his store to buy clothes and shoes. He felt this love.

The most direct manifestation at that time was that the daily turnover of the store was higher, but he was used to being ignored by others, so he still felt unreal.

Jiang Bo's thanks made the audience who voted for him in front of the TV feel like they were hit in the heart and were suddenly aroused.

They could sense whether a person was sincere or not. Although Jiang Bai didn't talk much, his eyes were clear and serious. Being looked at by such a young man, it was as if he was looking at them through the camera. Their hearts skipped a beat.

The same was true for Cui Yujie. She had forgotten about her leg pain at this moment. She sat in front of the TV, holding her hands on her chest, and could not help shouting, "Jiang Bai is so handsome! How can he be so handsome!"

"The main reason is that he is so well-behaved!" Zhang Min also rarely agreed with Cui Yujie's words, "Did you see his eyes? When those eyes looked over, they really looked like a big puppy looking at you sincerely. With such a look and expression, who can resist not voting for him?"

At this time, the SMS voting channel was still not closed. After all, it was a cooperation with relevant units. Every vote that the audience did not cast would go to the organizer. The SMS voting channel would not be closed until the last second before the answer was revealed. Moreover, the closer it got to this time, the more people would vote and the more intense the competition would be.

Those who had cell phones voted for Jiang Bo crazily, and those who didn't had cell phones borrowed from their parents or relatives to vote.

Zhang Min, who had been staring at the TV, suddenly said, "Don't you think Jiang Xi and Jiang Bo look a little bit alike?"

Her words seemed to have hit Cui Yujie's tail, almost making her jump up, and she immediately retorted, "How are they alike? Not at all, okay? They don't have the slightest similarity except for the surname Jiang, so don't force them together, okay?"

But even as she said this, she had a bad feeling in her heart that was getting stronger and stronger.

Originally, she wanted to put all the blame on Jiang Xi, saying that it was Jiang Xi who registered himself and then let them go, which led to the fact that their mathematics department almost had no chance of winning the sports meet.

But if Jiang Wu had received an invitation from the Wanhua Film Festival long ago and was going to attend the festival, then her lie would be exposed.

More importantly, she really didn't tell Jiang Wu that she had privately registered him for the sports meet.

How could she know that Jiang Wu would go to the Wanhua Film Festival? She thought everyone would participate in the sports meet.

Liu Yan stared at Jiang Bai who was standing next to Jiang Wu and said, "After you said that, they do look alike."

If you take Jiang Wu and Jiang Bai separately, you will definitely not think they look alike.

First of all, the two have different face shapes. Jiang Bai's face is rounder, and his chin is round but not pointed. It looks a bit like an oval face with baby fat that has not yet gone away. His eyes are also double eyelids, round, and his mouth is moist. The whole person gives people a warm and soft feeling.

Jiang Xi gives people a sense of sharpness from her face shape to her eyebrows and eyes. Whether it is the facial lines or the facial features, the feeling she gives people is not soft, but cold. When she doesn't smile, her eyes are projected towards you, as if she has a sword.

In addition to being tall and thin, the two of them really have different facial features and face shapes, and they are not similar at all.

But when the two stand together, they look alike, and the more you look at them, the more they look alike.

This is the feeling of Zhang Min and Liu Yan in front of the TV at this moment. The more you look at them, the more they look alike!

Cui Yujie suddenly said, "When Jiang Xi comes back tonight, don't tell her that I will run for her at the sports meeting."

She pretended to be calm, but Liu Yan and the others all looked at her with knowing smiles in their eyes, and then looked at each other.

If they had only guessed that Cui Yujie had secretly signed Jiang Xi up for many long-distance running events without her consent, Cui Yujie's words were a confirmation.

Seeing the excitement, Zhang Min turned around and said with a smile: "Cui Yujie, you are so brave that you dared to secretly mess with Jiang Wei. I don't even dare to joke with her in private, but you dared to do such a thing." She pointed at Cui Yujie with her index finger and said gloatingly: "Haha, you are in trouble."

Cui Yujie was a person who was afraid in her heart but not afraid in her mouth. She rolled her eyes when she heard it: "Why am I in trouble? Am I afraid of her? What can she do to me?"

Shen Xinlan looked down on Cui Yujie's appearance of harming others and not benefiting herself. When she heard it, the sweet smile on her face disappeared, and she said in a cold tone: "Let's not talk about whether you are afraid of her or not. You registered people for so many sports without their consent. Shouldn't you apologize?"

Liu Yan and Cui Yujie sat next to each other and said to her, "When Jiang Xi comes back, you should apologize to her first. After all, you did something unkind. It's okay if she doesn't know about it now. If the counselor finds her later and she finds out, you will be criticized. Once you are criticized, the selection of honorary titles, scholarships, and joining the party will all be affected."

Liu Yan spoke the truth.

People of this generation still care about honorary titles, especially Cui Yujie. Otherwise, why would she run for class monitor, join clubs, apply to join the student union, and run desperately? Isn't it to win honor?

Even if she hadn't been criticized, her behavior was still very bad. If they put themselves in Jiang Xi's shoes, they would be disgusted by such means, let alone Jiang Xi?

The school paid more attention to Jiang Xi than to them, okay?

Cui Yujie, who already felt guilty, became even more afraid after hearing their constant criticism. However, she pretended to be calm and said, "I didn't! I didn't sign it up! Don't talk nonsense! I just... I just..." She said anxiously, "And didn't I give all her projects to her?"

She almost cried when she said this, and her voice became softer, "And...and if you didn't tell her, how would she know?"

Liu Min sneered and said, "If we don't tell her, the class monitor won't tell her? The sports committee member won't tell her? The counselor won't tell her? Besides, why should we keep it a secret for you? You can do the thing, but we can't tell it?" The

more Zhang Min talked, the more Cui Yujie breathed shortness, "It shouldn't be that serious, right? It's just a small matter..."

"It's not a small matter, so you don't have the final say!" Liu Yan said, "No matter whether it's serious or not, and whether it has caused any consequences, your behavior itself is very bad, and Jiang Xi didn't do anything to you. I remember that you also had conflicts with your sister. She gave us lectures in the evening when she was free. Although you didn't come to listen, it was because you didn't want to come down to listen, not because she didn't want to lecture. She and we have no conflict of interest. We are all in the same dormitory, and we know each other well. I don't quite understand why you do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit yourself."

Zhang Min smiled and added, "You even picked up a stone and hit yourself in the foot."

Cui Yujie's face turned even darker.

Everyone in dormitory 401 has silently decided to stay away from Cui Yujie in the future. Even Liu Yan, who originally thought it was not good to isolate Cui Yujie, thinks that she should stay away from her in the future. Jiang Qi, who usually has no conflicts with her, is bullying her behind her back. What's more, those of them who go to class, eat and go home with her every day may be stabbed in the back by her one day. Although it is not a big deal, she is a disgusting person who doesn't bite even if the toad crawls onto the back of her foot.

If Jiang Xi had not been away from school these two days, but had gone to participate in the Wanhua Film Festival, she

would have been in school and her name had been reported. If she did not run, even if everyone knew that it was excusable, it would still give people a feeling of not being united with the group and not caring about the overall situation. When the time came, under the moral kidnapping, would Jiang Xi run or not? It was really uncomfortable to run, and it was also uncomfortable not to run.

After the red carpet, it was the award ceremony. This year's Wanhua Film Festival awards were basically divided equally between "White Snake" and "Party A and Party B".

Jiang Bo won the "Most Popular Actor" award, and the male lead of "Party A and Party B" won the Best Actor award.

"Party A and Party B" won the Best Actress Award, and the crew of "White Snake" won the Best Film of the Year Award.

Unfortunately, although Jiang Bo was nominated for the "Best Supporting Actor" award, he did not win the award. The winner of the "Best Supporting Actor" award was a well-known veteran actor, who also deserved the award.

Even so, the movie "White Snake" can be regarded as a full return at this Wanhua Film Festival, especially for Jiang Bo.

Jiang Bo was also very surprised when he won the "Most Popular Actor" award with his super high popularity. He never thought that he would be loved by so many people.

Even though he is no longer invisible, the experience of being invisible and ignored since childhood has left a deep mark on his mind. In his heart, he is still the ordinary, common person who is struggling for his future life, the most inconspicuous speck of dust in the world.

Incomparably small.

He never thought that one day he would stand under the spotlight, with countless flashes aimed at him, countless lights shining on him, and countless microphones waiting for his answer, as if he was the focus of the crowd and the protagonist of the day.

It turns out that one day, he can also become the protagonist in people's eyes.

Jiang Bai's eyes suddenly became moist and he choked up.

He held the certificate and trophy presented to him by the award presenters. Even though Director Zhang and his team said he might win an award and asked him to prepare a speech in advance, he didn't feel much at the time. He didn't think he would win an award.

How could he win an award? The most popular actor? How could so many people like him? For too long, no one could see him.

He was used to being an invisible person who could turn himself invisibly.

He suddenly covered his eyes with his sleeves, but at the moment when he was about to wipe his eyes, he suddenly remembered that this suit was more expensive than his publicity fee for this trip. He suppressed the pain in his nose and put down his sleeves. Then the camera lens clearly captured the smiling face of the young man on the stage and the uncontrollable tears in his eyes.

He slowed down his voice and finally managed to calm himself down and said, "Thank you, my sister." He choked up again and it took him a while to calm himself down and said, "Thank you Director Yu for giving me the opportunity to work during the summer vacation. Without Director Yu, there would be no such award. Thank you to all the staff behind the scenes, thank you to the organizers of the Wanhua Film Festival, and thank you to all the audiences who like me and voted for me."

Three years ago, he was a person who felt dizzy and had leg cramps every day because of hunger. He only wanted to graduate quickly, get his diploma, and go out to work to earn money to eat. Who would have thought that one day he would be standing on such a beautiful and gorgeous award podium.

He looked at the brightly lit award ceremony hall, which seemed as unreal as a dream. He

looked at the audience and smiled again. His eyes looked even brighter because of the water color. He held up the trophy in his hand, looked at it with great care, and smiled shyly at the camera: "Thank you for liking me." He bowed deeply, and his eyes were filled with passion again: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you grandpa, thank you my sister."

He knew who was responsible for the change in his life.

Jiang Bai said "thank you my sister" twice, and the audience in front of the TV were very curious about who his sister was and why he had to thank his sister for winning the award.

But the girls in the 401 dormitory knew Jiang Xi better because they had close contact with her. Zhang Min looked at Jiang Xi who was occasionally caught by the camera sitting in the audience, and suddenly a flash of light flashed through her mind, and she exclaimed: "Fuck! Jiang Xi is not Xiao Meng, right?"
