Chapter 467: Do you want to join the presidium of the Writers' Association?
Because Duan Xiaochen's natural voice is impeccable, and her singing skills are also superb, she can still stand up in a market like Sakurajima, which attaches great importance to the effect of singers' live performances.
With the help of the Sakurajima branch of the Green Mile Miracle, Duan Xiaochen participated in a lot of variety shows, showing his singing voice on the spot, allowing Sakurajima people to see what the sound of nature is.
quickly corrected the misunderstanding that fans regarded her as an "idol" before, proving that she is a top singer.
The Sakurajima media even exclaimed "a beautiful voice that comes once in 3,000 years".
In addition, the company is taking this opportunity to build a distribution channel in Sakurajima, so that in the future, it can release its own songs in Sakurajima, and cooperate with Sakurajima's local entertainment companies to distribute movies and TV dramas......
However, there is no need to explain these to Xu Qingya in detail, she is not necessarily interested.
Xu Qingya continued to brush up on the news, and Du Caige continued to bury his head in writing...... Carry.
The award ceremony starts at 8 p.m.
The venue was at the National Centre for the Performing Arts, just over a 20-minute walk from the hotel where they were staying.
But you can't wait to go, you still have to enter early.
So they had a relatively simple dinner at the hotel at 6 o'clock, and they didn't eat too much to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort.
After eating, I changed my clothes and set off.
Du Caige was wearing a set of black high-necked short windbreakers with high cold winds that Xu Qingya picked for him, while Xu Qingya was wearing the red evening dress she bought in the magic capital, which was very bright, dignified and atmospheric.
is obviously just a 19-year-old girl, but she wears the feeling of a young lady.
Although it only takes 20 minutes to walk, Xu Qingya is wearing a thin evening dress, and now the temperature in the north has dropped to 0 degrees.
It was okay to blow the air conditioning in the hotel, but it was biting cold to come out.
So Du Caige called a car at the hotel to travel.
Because the road was congested, it took about 20 minutes, which is about the same time as walking.
The process of entering the National Center for the Performing Arts was very dull and smooth.
There was no branch plot where they were looked down upon and forced to pretend to be a slap in the face, they showed an invitation and went through strict security checks before they were allowed to enter.
Du Caige was not familiar with the people in the writers' circle, and no one came forward to talk to him.
"The security check just now was really strict, and the female security guard, who I suspected of being gay, touched the sensitive parts of my body. Xu Qingya naturally grabbed Du Caige's arm.
I don't know if it's because of her shyness or because she was blown by the air conditioner, her face was red like a ripe apple, which was particularly attractive.
"There are a couple of big names coming tonight, so the security is very strict. Du Caige directly ignored the second half of the sentence, he witnessed Xu Qingya's acceptance of the security check, it was indeed very strict, but others did not take advantage of her, it was a normal security check. She just experienced too little.
"Which big names will come? Could it be that there are still people from the House of Elders coming?" Xu Qingya joked.
"Well, there are three big names in the House of Elders coming. The largest of them is equivalent to the ancient official book. Du Caige tried to tell her in plain and easy-to-understand language.
Xu Qingya was so surprised that her mouth opened into an "O" shape and forgot to close it.
The one Du Caige said, in terms of the power sequence? Should it be one of the 20 most powerful people in Dahua? Much higher than the average feudal official.
But after a moment of surprise, she regained her composure.
Those who really engage in art – not as a tool to make money and a step to advancement – tend to be a bit of a princely underestimation? Slow Minister.
In the eyes of a true artist? Only art is eternal.
How can you be worthy of my attention as an emperor and general in the world?
Waiting for your name to be forgotten? Your bones have long since decayed, and my art is still alive in the world.
Perhaps.
Du Caige felt that he was a little nervous in front of the power at the top of the food chain.
When they enter the performance hall of the opera house? It was about 7:20.
I saw that the stage has been set up perfectly? Banners were hung.
Quite a few people had already arrived, each looking for a place to sit down.
Du Caige and Wang Mo have been contacted, and there are about 400 people attending the award ceremony tonight.
All the members of the presidium of the National Writers' Association in the north, some well-known writers and scholars? A number of well-known figures from the cultural circles and media representatives were invited to attend the ceremony.
Actually, it stands to reason? The editors of the award-winning authors are also coming.
But Du Caige's editor is Zhongyi, an online literature editor.
Internet literature, in this era, is still more discriminated against by the mainstream literary circle, and the Writers' Association has communicated with Du Caige, and will not invite Zhong to come over this time.
This kind of thing? Du Caige didn't have much to say.
It's just that he has already made up his mind that he will say something slightly prickly in his acceptance speech.
But don't dare to be too prickly...... After all, this is an occasion attended by elders and elders? If he is presumptuous here, it will definitely be banned by the whole country? Even the mutual entertainment with dreams has been suppressed, and there will be no second result.
It's okay to say a few words of sarcasm? But you have to get it right.
Du Caige took Xu Qingya around for a while? Pry about? A man who was short in stature, but looked very energetic and powerful, greeted him and said with a smile: "Brother Hemingway, hello, I am Wang Mo when we meet for the first time." ”
He held out his hand as he spoke.
"Chairman Wang, it's a pleasure, it's a pleasure. Du Caige shook hands with him, very surprised.
As for the National Writers' Association, it is not an administrative unit, but a non-governmental organization.
But this kind of private organization, and the "Golden Melody Award" kind of private organization, is not the same concept.
Can the "Golden Melody Award" invite elders to come?
No kidding.
Even if he is a city-level chief, attending the "Golden Melody Awards" is a drop in price and smearing himself.
The National Writers' Association, nominally a private organization, but it is concerned by the Elders' House, although there is no administrative level, but the chairman of the Writers' Association can also be regarded as a high authority.
If Wang Mo goes to the place, it will be absolutely no problem to talk and laugh with the provincial-level feudal officials.
Both sides will feel more equal.
It is indeed surprising that such a big man did not sit well in the first row and ran over to greet him.
Even if you want to give face to these new "Poplar Literature Award" winners, it is not for the co-chair to come in person.
Wang Mo held Du Caige's hand with both hands and refused to let go.
After nodding and greeting Xu Qingya, he pulled Du Caige and said a bunch of nonsense. Then he pulled Du Caige aside and said that he was "to get to know each other well".
"Your award this time is full of twists and turns. ”
Seeing that no one was passing by, Wang Mo smiled and whispered.
"Because Master Lu Wu doesn't like me. Du Caige spoke very directly.
"That's part of the reason. Have you noticed that this year I am not the chairman of the award committee? ”
Du Caige had noticed it a long time ago, and he really felt strange. However, in this magical land, nothing should be surprising. "The director of this year's award committee seems to be the honorary chairman of the Writers' Association, Master Li Kun. I originally thought he wanted to compete with you for power, but when I inquired later, he was almost 80 years old, so what was there to fight for?"
The corners of Wang Mo's mouth twitched, obviously not used to Du Caige's direct way of speaking.
Then he smiled, couldn't see his inner fluctuations, patted Du Caige's shoulder and said, "Brother, you have been a member of the Writers' Association for a while. This time, I won the Poplar Literary Award, which is also the highest award in our country's literary circle. Have you considered joining the presidium of the Writers' Association?"
Du Caige refused on the spot: "I'm sorry, Chairman Wang, I really don't have time." ”
"Yes, yes, you are still young and promising, and it is time to make a work. In fact, a large part of the reason why you won the award this time was full of twists and turns, and even caused us to have a difficult birth in the award, and it was delayed for more than half a month compared with the previous years before the results of the award were announced, because you were engaged in the Internet, engaged in music, and did not focus on serious literature. ”
Du Caige just wanted to answer, Wang Mo said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this first, celebrate first today, celebrate well." You leave a phone call for me, come out tomorrow and sit down, and I'll introduce you to a few friends. ”
Du Caige exchanged phone numbers with him.
When Wang Mo walked away, when Du Caige came to Xu Qingya's side, he was still thinking about what Wang Mo meant, and he was talking in a fog.
Soon a hostess guided Du Caige to the winner's seat, and Du Caige nodded to Xu Qingya: "You find a place to sit by yourself, and we will go to the party together after the ceremony." ”
Xu Qingya responded with a smile: "Uncle, don't be nervous when you say your acceptance speech! If you forget the words, remember to read the inscription book I made for you." ”
Du Caige smiled helplessly: "The acceptance speech, I say it more times than the average person says 'I love you' to his wife." I can speak an acceptance speech fluently even without thinking, don't worry. ”
Xu Qingya gave him a blank look: Uncle, you are pretending to beep again!
The next step is to go through the process, and at eight o'clock, the host announces the start of the award ceremony and announces the ceremony process.
Then it was supposed to be the chairman of the Writers' Association who spoke, but because the chairman of the Writers' Association did not join the award committee this year, Li Kun, a famous writer, honorary chairman of the Writers' Association, and director of the award committee, gave a speech.
Li Kun trembled on the stage and said some big words, seeing that although he was not in good spirits, his mind was still sober and his words were clear.
He methodically paid tribute and congratulated the six award-winning authors (3 long and 3 short), and also said a more beautiful sentence, "These six books will not disappoint the precious trust of the people, each of them is like a bright lamp, illuminating the scenery of the future of Dahua literature, each of which embodies the writer's profound experience and exquisite skills, tempered in the long time and lonely labor, they expand the spiritual space of Chinese literature, and mark the brilliant achievements of Dahua creation from 2005 to 2008." ......”
Balabala.
Then he thanked the judges for their hard work and the enthusiastic participation of the readers, saying that "great readers make great writers and works ......"
