Chapter 267: Reflections
If we have to say the difference between the two, it is that one can prepare materials in advance, while the other is purely improvisation; one is still within the scope of business, while the other relies entirely on short-term brainstorming.
Help.
The collapse continued, but reason could not be absent. With all the lights and cameras focused on her, there was no trace of panic on Ren Limeng's face. She stood in front of the podium with her back straight and spoke slowly and calmly.
"What a surprise! I'm still a little dazed holding the trophy. I can't believe Brother Yue actually called out my name. Thank you everyone, and thank you to "Shan Hai." For me, "Shan Hai" is more than just a show, it's a journey full of challenges and growth. I'm grateful to every viewer. Your encouragement and support have given me the confidence to face challenges and difficulties. I'm also grateful to all my colleagues and staff on the show. Your hard work makes every performance so exciting. I'm grateful to the Orange platform and all the teachers for their training and guidance. I've benefited so much along the way. I'm grateful to my family. Their understanding and support are my greatest motivation. The "Shan Hai" journey has been a significant milestone in my life and a crucial step in my decision to become an entertainment channel host. I never expected to gain so much here, let alone receive such overwhelming love from everyone. This championship is the result of everyone's hard work, and I'm just one of them. I will continue to work hard to pass on the "Shan Hai" spirit to every hosting gig I host, and repay everyone's support with even better work..."
Ren Limeng slowly raised her eyes, her voice was clear and powerful, her eyes were soft and warm, with a hint of sincere humility. She glanced gently at the audience, smiled slightly, and her eyes revealed gratitude and warmth.
Gratitude is always the core of an acceptance speech. In addition to gratitude, she has indeed benefited a lot from the journey of "Shan Hai" and has a lot to say. Although she was nervous, Ren Limeng was not afraid to face everything in front of her. She spoke her acceptance speech steadily, and the camera only showed her calm and sincere face.
At the end of her speech, Ren Limeng's tone suddenly paused. Her gaze finally fell on a certain spot in the guest seats below the stage. Her voice was soft but firm. "I am the host, Ren Limeng. Finally, I want to say thank you again. Thank you to "Shan Hai" for allowing me to meet my first love again and continue to love him forever."
Ren Limeng tilted her head slightly, a hint of tenderness and shyness in her eyes. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and across the stage where light and shadow intertwined, across the heavy crowd, she fixed her gaze firmly on Shen Xingzhi in the audience. At this moment, the distance was far, and she could not see the expression on his face, but just knowing that she was there, her heart could be at peace, and she could not help but say some words directly.
It was not an impulsive statement, but a well-thought-out one. She wanted to tell everyone that she would continue to love him forever, as he wished.
After Ren Limeng finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted from the audience, wave after wave, as if to overturn the roof of the entire recording shed of the finals. The applause was mixed with cheers and whistles, and the audience's emotions were pushed to a climax. The online live broadcast room was also full of rapidly scrolling barrages. The number of real-time viewers had already exceeded 10 million. The number one hot search term quickly changed from "Ren Limeng Champion" which had shocked everyone just now to "Ren Limeng Chen Xingzhi".
The reappearance of the "Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi" screen-sweeping discussion was completely within Ren Limeng's expectations. In fact, the current discussions were caused by Ren Limeng alone. She was willing to share her moment of honor with Shen Xingzhi, just as he would not mind her using his fame and traffic on the show at the beginning.
Behind the glamorous entertainment industry is a vortex of interests and the game of human hearts. Here is a stage for dreams and also a battlefield for interests.
Whether actively or passively, she and Shen Xingzhi are deeply involved in it. Ren Limeng is very grateful for their love, which allows them to be sincere to each other and walk hand in hand.
After the "Mountains and Seas" program, she will encounter many more attacks, but Ren Limeng is fearless. She believes that after overcoming all temptations and challenges, she will be able to achieve her wish. But she is still grateful to Chen Xingzhi for accompanying her on the next journey and making her more determined to move forward.
Workplace work may seem difficult, but even the most challenging tasks have goals, and if you take each step carefully, you can always achieve your goals. Love, however, is too difficult, and all Ren Limeng can think of is gratitude. This, more than winning the "Shan Hai" championship, more than anything else, makes her feel fortunate for her good fortune.
Ren Limeng couldn't help but think back to the weekend when she learned about the recording of "Mountains and Seas". She was exhausted and made up her mind to accept the invitation of this entertainment variety show. She just wanted to transform and break through, open up a new career track for herself, and then go back home by the way. With the help of the recording of the Orange platform's ace program, she could prove to her parents her choice and that she was living a good life, so she would regard it as "returning home in glory."
Who would have thought that in just less than a month, she would gain so much extra from this "Mountains and Seas" journey. In addition to the championship, she found a lover, was known by more people, and let go of the past. Every word in Ren Limeng's acceptance speech was not just a formality, she sincerely thanked everyone.
Her only regret was that she forgot to thank herself.
Thank you to myself for persisting along the way, and thank you to myself for continuing to stride forward with determination.
Ren Limeng stood in the center of the stage, with the joyful voice of host Wu Yue in her ears. She stared at the countless golden ribbons slowly falling on the stage for her. She was inexplicably dazed for a moment, and her eyes unconsciously turned slightly red. She raised her head and blinked, trying hard to hide all the emotions that she didn't want to show in front of others, and also to hide the heavy memories of the past.
She calmly looked at the camera again, showing a perfect host smile, which was graceful, calm and confident enough.
After the host Wu Yue's passionate words "See you next season", the countless cameras that had accompanied everyone for four weeks finally left the crowd, and the grand "Shan Hai" finals slowly came to an end with a large group photo full of people.
Even though the live broadcast recording had ended, Ren Limeng, who was standing in the center of the group photo, was still being watched by too many people. As the individual champion of the "Mountains and Seas" program, she suddenly received too many kind greetings from people she knew or didn't know. Ren Limeng smiled and nodded to thank all the guests and staff who came to congratulate her. After looking around, she finally locked eyes, silently quickened her pace, and walked towards Shen Xingzhi, who had retreated to the edge of the stage at some point, and at the same time met his deep gaze that had been looking at her.
As the distance got closer, Ren Limeng couldn't help but put away her smile, pursed her lips, and looked back at Shen Xingzhi quietly with her bright eyes. In the still extremely noisy scene, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.
"Mengmeng, congratulations."
Chen Xingzhi's eyes followed Ren Limeng's every move. He curled his lips slightly, and his gentle gaze was brighter and more dazzling than the colorful ribbons in the sky. He smiled and walked towards Ren Limeng as well. The distance between the two suddenly became close enough and intimate enough.
"Brother Xingzhi...you already knew this...right?"
Feeling the genuine joy of the people around her, Ren Limeng took a deep breath, and the feeling of depression in her heart became more obvious. She finally asked slowly.
Ren Limeng tightened the trophy in her hand, and the question without a beginning or an end was thrown out by her directly. Chen Xingzhi instantly understood Ren Limeng's doubt. He took Ren Limeng's other hand, nodded slightly, and then slowly shook his head.
"Well, this championship belongs to you."
"Wrong logic."
Ren Limeng ignored Shen Xingzhi's refusal and handed her trophy to Shen Xingzhi in a huff. The two of them walked hand in hand to the backstage while chatting.
Although the "Mountains and Seas" program has ended, Ren Limeng and Shen Xingzhi still have a lot of finishing work to do before leaving, especially Ren Limeng who just won the championship. There are still many things that need to be greeted and greeted, but Ren Limeng couldn't help it and came to Shen Xingzhi as soon as possible.
"Surprised?"
Hearing Ren Limeng's almost scolding complaint, the smile on Chen Xingzhi's lips became even more intense.
He understood the hidden meaning behind Ren Limeng's words. She felt unfair for him, but she was the beneficiary of this injustice. This complex and intertwined emotion made her even feel an indescribable grievance, mixed with some helplessness. After she finally left the focus of the camera, her true feelings were revealed to him.
Surrounded by the staff coming and going, Ren Limeng couldn't speak directly, but Chen Xingzhi immediately understood Ren Limeng's thoughts. He glanced at the trophy that Ren Limeng had forced into his hands, smiled indifferently, and said in a light tone, "Mengmeng, you deserve this championship. From obscurity to shining, "Shanhai" and you have achieved each other."
Shen Xingzhi's tone was very calm, full of joy. When the champion was just announced, he noticed the vague glances from all sides looking at him, but his expression was always calm, maintaining his usual cold and indifferent expression.
He was not pretending to be calm and indifferent, but he really didn't care. It was just a champion of a variety show. Even if the winner was not Ren Limeng, he would not feel unwilling. To him, this was not an important matter.
Of course, some things are important.
Because "Shan Hai" finally awarded the championship to Ren Limeng, he decided to post on all social media platforms to congratulate Ren Limeng, and attached a nine-square grid picture of Ren Limeng that he had just carefully taken, to boost the discussion of the "Shan Hai" program team, and to do some marketing at his own expense, striving to break the historical record of attention to the program and let more people notice Ren Limeng.
Shen Xingzhi was very satisfied with this result, even more satisfied than winning the award himself.
Who made his girlfriend confess her love to him during her acceptance speech?! There were tens of thousands of people in the audience at the finals, and tens of millions of people watching the live broadcast. Meng Meng openly confessed her love to him and even responded to his official Weibo announcement. At that moment, Chen Xingzhi smiled so happily and contentedly. When he debuted with a huge gap in first place on "Idol Signal", he had to suppress his emotions and never smiled this brightly.
These days, he has already gained far more important things than winning the show championship. Shen Xingzhi's eyes have always been on Ren Limeng, and his heart is filled with only satisfaction and gratitude.
