The entertainment media likes to use "glamour" as a gimmick. What is glamour overwhelms the whole audience, a certain actress appears at a certain event, stunning everyone, etc.

But as everyone knows, it is essentially just a drag.

However, the media used these two words in the press release tonight, and those who have watched the live broadcast nodded, thinking that it is justifiable.

The reason is simple, Jian Jing is too beautiful. I don't

know if it's because she is getting older, her eyebrows and eyes have grown, or today's makeup is particularly suitable, anyway, wherever she stands, people who are not familiar with her will ask: "Which star, why haven't you seen it before?"

Zheng Keyan was invited to the award ceremony this time, and there are many press releases about glamour overwhelm. She is considered one of the most recognized beauties in China.

Even she had to pay attention to her appearance when she came to greet Jian Jing, so as not to be looked haggard by mistake.

"Teacher Jian looks so beautiful today." Everyone started the greeting like this.

Jian Jing stroked her skirt and smiled: "I take it seriously when others compliment me, but I don't take it seriously when you compliment me like this."

Zheng Keyan smiled and said: "To be honest, can we take a photo together?"

"Okay."

The two took a photo together warmly. Cai Tong'er, who was far away, hesitated for a moment, pretending not to see it, and sat in her seat playing with her mobile phone as if nothing had happened.

After Zheng Keyan left, another heavyweight guest arrived - the actor Qi, who replaced Shao Meng as the devil in "Devil Doctor 2".

The filming of Devil May Cry 2 has been started for a while. Jian Jing has been busy recently and has not met him.

"Teacher Jian." Actor Qi shook her hand politely. "I am very happy to have the opportunity to work with you."

He is nearly 40 years old, but still handsome and tall, with a good figure and no belly. There is no trace of age on his face and body, which is pleasing to the eye.

Jian Jing was also very polite: "I should say I am honored."

Under the camera, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, so it is not good to chat too warmly, lest the scandal spreads all over the sky the next day. Actor Qi is cautious and retreats after saying hello.

Jian Jing was also tired of socializing, so she turned around, found her seat, and sat down to play with her mobile phone.

She sent a message to Jiang Baiyan: [Why don’t I see you? ]

The other party replied: [I suddenly fell ill and can't go]

She replied: [Have a good rest and drink more hot water]

The other party: [Smiley face.JPG]

"Who are you chatting with?" Kang Mucheng sat next to her and put a white cashmere shawl on her shoulders, "Put it on. It's November and it's quite cold."

The air-conditioning in the auditorium was turned on, but in such a large place, even if the central air-conditioning was working hard, the heat was almost non-existent. Who of the female stars wearing off-shoulder and backless dresses dared to say that they were not cold?

Jian Jing wrapped herself in the shawl and scanned the whole audience.

Today's guests were all invited by the organizers. Those without invitations could not enter at all, but in the backstage, the management of the staff was much more relaxed.

The stars' assistants, the writers' agents, the staff in charge of lighting, props, stage, makeup... where would he be?

The lights dimmed, indicating that the ceremony officially began.

The opening was a classical song and dance, a restored version of "Green Waist". The young ladies wore narrow-sleeved long skirts, with slender waists and dancing gracefully, which made people understand the king's absurdity.

After the dance, the host came on stage and introduced the judges of this year's Dream Pen Award. All of them were famous people in the literary world. Some were professional critics, and some were big men who had won many major awards at home and abroad. They were very important, and the attribution of the awards added a lot of persuasiveness.

After introducing the judges, some informal small awards began to be awarded.

Creative Short Story Award, Potential Novel Award, Best Art Award... Yes, the awards voted for online only give you a seat at the ceremony, not even a formal award ceremony.

Although these small awards are not very famous, they can still make an appearance and there is also a medal as a commemoration, so the gold content is actually higher.

Everyone applauded very respectfully.

Jian Jing whispered to Kang Mucheng: "Why haven't I heard of these books?"

"They are all unpopular books." He explained, "They are well written."

She nodded.

Then there was a wave of singing performances. The stage for young idols was very lively with singing and dancing.

Then, the highlight came.

Among the six categories of awards, romance, history, martial arts, science fiction, suspense, and reality, the first one to be announced was the reality category.

The five nominated books were displayed one by one on the big screen, and the host read out the comments one by one, such as "deeply revealing the living conditions of the grassroots people", "insightfully analyzing the psychological state of marginalized people", "implying the complexity and changeability of human nature with bizarre descriptions".

After a vague description, he slowly said: "The best reality novel of this year's Dream Pen Award is - "The Luxuriance of Spring".

Jian Jing has heard of this book. Although the sales volume is terrible and no one can understand it, it has been praised by many people in the literary world and is known as the domestic version of "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

She thought the author was a copy of Marquez.

However, when the author came on stage, everyone was shocked.

She was a simple working woman, with dark and cracked skin, a thin body, and a little old lady. She was also very introverted. After receiving the award, she only said in a mosquito-like voice: "Thank you."

The scene was silent, and then burst into warm applause.

No matter what she looks like or what her background is, as long as the soul of the text is genuine, it is worthy of everyone's admiration.

It was another singing program, and the song was the theme song of a martial arts novel.

So, the next award was the martial arts award.

The winner was a young teacher, who was very happy, said a lot of words of gratitude, and expressed his love for martial arts endlessly.

This is the youth and memory of a generation.

Kang Mucheng couldn't help but sigh: "Martial arts are declining." Jian Jing

nodded silently. That's right, although martial arts still have a place in serious literary awards, the best-selling books in bookstores now are fantasy.

There are no online literature websites here, but new themes are still emerging in an endless stream. Because there are too many volumes, it is painful to rely on selling books. In recent years, the book rental business has been getting better and better.

After martial arts, it is science fiction.

The result is not controversial. It was the champion of a science fiction novel competition last year, and it was published in a collection this year.

The next one is suspense.

The host began to announce the nominated works: "House of Shadows", "Murder Before Notice", "The Woman Who Died Three Times", "Crossing the River", "Rose, Gold, and the Killer".

Then he gave comments.

"House of Shadows" was described as "exquisite and meticulous, seamless", "Murder Before Notice" was described as "constantly twisted and interlocking", "The Woman Who Died Three Times" was described as "full of suspense, twists and turns", and "Crossing the River" was described as "weird and unique".

Of course, the longest piece was "Rose, Gold, and the Killer".

The host said: "This is a unique suspense novel. It is contrary to the gloomy and thrilling style of suspense and mystery novels. It does not focus on depicting the heaviness and pain of hatred, but tells a story of self-salvation. The writing is timeless and beautiful, and the words are like the fragrance of spring, making people realize that adventures have an end and bloody cases will end, but love is an everlasting rose that lights up the long life in the future..."

As the sound echoed, he looked around and announced in front of the audience's expectant eyes: "The winner of this year's Dream Pen Award for Best Suspense Novel is - "Rose, Gold and Killer"! Congratulations to Jian Jing!"

The lights and cameras came on at the same time, and for a moment, everyone's eyes were on it.

Kang Mucheng couldn't hide his joy, and he didn't bother to hide it. He lowered his head happily and said with a smile, "Go quickly." Jian Jing

stood up slowly, and the roses piled on the snow-white veil fell down, lifelike.

The moment she stepped onto the stage, she turned on the charm card that she had turned off.

The lights on the stage were so hot, like the bright sun in summer, her cheeks suddenly became hot, and naturally flushed a bright red.

The host was slightly stunned, but fortunately he was one of the best hosts in the entertainment industry. He had seen at least a dozen beautiful women, if not hundreds of them. He immediately calmed down and handed the microphone to her.

"Thank you for the judges' affirmation." Jian Jing held the microphone, her face facing the camera, her eyes bright and amazing, "Thank you to all the readers for their love of my work, I feel very honored and very happy..."

She recited the speech reviewed by Kang Mucheng, her words were clear and her tone was steady. Outsiders felt that she was open and generous.

Kang Mucheng was even more moved.

He recalled the surprise when he first saw "White Cat Detective", and his shock and hesitation when he got "The Kids Playing Hide and Seek". He couldn't help but think of the turmoil when "The Devil Doctor" was first published... Many years passed in a blink of an eye, and she was like a butterfly, finally ushering in the transformation.

A strange feeling that cannot be described and cannot be expressed in words filled his heart.

It was like satisfaction, but more intense than satisfaction; it was like joy, but more complicated than joy. However, there was one thought that was beyond doubt and extremely clear.

That was - this was just the beginning. It was

just the beginning of her soaring.

In the future, she would definitely go higher and farther.

And he would definitely be the one to witness it.

"Thank you, everyone." Jian Jing finished reciting the speech under the spotlight and took the trophy from the judges.

The crystal-polished brush was engraved with a gilded name, which was a unique commemoration.

The applause was thunderous and swarmed in.

Jian Jing smiled and bowed to the stage.

The performance was over, and the real battlefield was about to begin.

She pressed the cold trophy against her cheek and thought, I'm ready, where are you?

History and love are the two most fiercely contested awards in recent years, but Kang Mucheng has lost interest.

He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

President Tao was sweating nervously, waiting for the announcement of the love awards. Public opinion on the Internet applauded Jian Jing, and the guests around him were all normal, talking and laughing.

At first, he thought it was the sequelae of the Paris incident that made him uncomfortable in places where people gathered. But he reacted quickly.

No, it's not a psychological shadow, it's more like... like an intuition.

His eyes fell to his hand, with a white cashmere shawl draped over the armrest.

A quarter of an hour ago, Jian Jing said she was going to the bathroom, leaving behind her trophy and shawl, and said to him, "Mr. Kang, I'll be back soon, don't worry."

At the time, he thought she was joking with him and didn't take it seriously, but now he broke out in a cold sweat.

Kang Mucheng controlled his emotions and immediately got up and left.

People were coming and going outside the auditorium, and it was very busy.

"I'm sorry." He stopped a female employee, "Can you help me call someone in the women's restroom?"

The female employee agreed and walked into the nearest bathroom.

A moment later, a sharp scream broke out from inside.

Kang Mucheng's heart "thumped" and twitched heavily, almost jumping out of his throat. He didn't want to be rude, so he rushed in: "Jing Jing?!"

Blood, he saw the whole mirror was dripping with blood, the strong smell of blood almost made his brain go crazy.

The wash basin was full of bright red rose petals.

And, there was a snow-white envelope hidden.

He walked over, took out the envelope and opened it.

The ribbon fell out, embroidered with red roses, it was a simple and quiet necklace.
