Chapter 206: Award Ceremony (Part II)
Unexpectedly, as soon as I stood up, a lot of voices sounded behind me, "There are beautiful women, beautiful designers." "There are good deeds in the voice of such a coax, everyone else shouts," the beautiful designer, laugh one. Such sounds came and went, making Jialan's face "Teng" red. She couldn't have imagined that she was molested in public like this.
She naturally didn't know that although jewelry designers are in the jewelry industry, jewelry is made for women to wear, but the really well-known jewelry designers are generally men. There are occasionally a few female designers, generally around forty years old, who are really aunt-level characters. There are very few young, beautiful, and talented beauties like Jia Lan, and it's no wonder that the audience is so excited.
Jia Lan sat down and exhaled, how frightened this little heart is going to be today. The scene of her entering the backstage just now was already terrifying, and now it is even more terrifying. Where are these people like to come to see the awards, more like people who come to coax and play.
The conference moved on to the fourth agenda item, and awards were presented to the winning designers.
With the names read, several designers around Jialan came to the stage to receive the award. Jialan, the newcomer design award, is placed at the back of the list, and the winner of the previous newcomer design award presents her with an award, representing a kind of design heritage.
As soon as Jialan's name was read, the people below began to coax, "beautiful designer" and "beautiful designer" made Jialan speechless. She came to the stage with these enthusiastic voices, and her slender figure was in front of everyone at once, and the cheers were louder, mixed with a lot of whistles. Such enthusiasm frightened Jia Lan for a moment, and then relieved herself and walked to the center of the rostrum. She received the trophy from the former winner of the New Designer Award and thanked him with a smile.
Then a person stood in front of the microphone, and this awards ceremony was the same as the Film Awards, and the winners actually had to give their acceptance speeches. As soon as Jia Lan stood in front of the microphone, everyone suddenly quieted down, and everyone wanted to hear what this beautiful designer would say. Such a sudden silence made Jialan very uncomfortable all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but get nervous.
"Well," she said, clearing her throat and taking two deepest breaths as far as she could, "first of all, I would like to thank this conference for giving me a chance to present myself. I went to participate and proved that the attempt was worth it. Because I got the honor. Jia Lan raised the trophy in his hand and said to everyone. This sentence was said sincerely, and there was a burst of cheers from the audience. Because many newcomers are afraid to try because of their lack of experience, or afraid that their works will not win awards. But Jia Lan is also a newcomer, she went to try, and eventually showed that she did. Anything, before you try it, you can't retreat, only after trying it will you know the way, this sentence also reminds all the newcomers here. And the old designers who don't dare to try.
She didn't memorize the acceptance speech, and she didn't know that there was this link in Lu Dao at first, but Ruitt didn't mention it to her, but she sat down and saw that the designers who came to the stage to receive the award in front of her were going to give speeches, so she knew that Lu Dao herself was also going to speak. But it's too late to prepare. I had to catch the ducks on the shelves, and I could say whatever I wanted.
"I would like to thank a lot of people, thank you to Zhongyi for giving me a new person the opportunity to make a name for myself in the design world, and thank you to the strong support of our director of Ruiter, without his support, I would not be where I am now. And thank you to those who have helped me in the past, because of your support, I am where I am today. I would like to thank those difficulties and twists and turns in life and work, which have enriched my life and enriched my design. ”
If Jialan's previous thanks have no highlights, then the latter sentence is really unexpected. Because people only thank people and things that help them, and no one is ever openly grateful for difficulties and setbacks. But in many cases, it is precisely these difficulties and setbacks that are inspiring and motivating. I have to say that Jialan not only focused everyone's eyes on her, but now she also captured their hearts. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into warm applause.
"With this affirmation, I believe that I will continue to go on seriously and strive to design more and better works to repay everyone's affirmation of me." Jia Lan raised the trophy in her hand again and said, then she bowed to everyone, "Thank you." Then he turned to the organizing committee on the stage, bowed to them, and said, "Thank you." Then under the guidance of Miss Manners, he was ready to step down. She didn't want to say too much, so she ended it directly after the last, anyway, the testimonials are like this, some people say less, some people say more.
She didn't expect the audience below to burst into a burst of warm applause, which startled her, and her footsteps paused again before she pretended to walk naturally to the stage, exhaling as she walked. I didn't feel it when I came on stage just now, and I didn't feel it when I spoke, but once the matter was over, I realized that Lu Dao had used too much strength to control himself just now, and now he suddenly relaxed, and he felt that his whole body was soft and very weak. The hands and legs are shaking, which is a nervous lag reaction. Luckily, she had already walked to her seat and sat down.
Such a grand event is really not something that people can participate in, it is really too testing. It's really a big test for her, a young girl who hasn't experienced any big scenes. Thankfully, everything was over, and Jia Lan exhaled again.
"That's a good job." The designer next to her actually stretched out his thumb to her, and Jia Lan smiled at him, only to realize that his face was actually stiff. Poor thing.
Then it's time to present their award-winning works, with large slides showcasing beautiful designs with illustrations. Feast everyone's eyes. For Jialan's previous design "Cloud and Fish" work, it was also displayed, indicating that this is a special work of the conference, but it did not add the name of Jialan. Jia Lan looked at the finalists for both of her works, although she didn't say it was her own, but her face was also bright.
What Jia Lan didn't say in her acceptance speech just now was shown in her works, and she claimed to design "jewelry with a story", which was recognized by many people. When jewelry design reaches a certain stage of development, it often enters a bottleneck, which requires the addition of fresh blood to give it a new concept, a new idea, and bring it out of the bottleneck. And the concept of Jialan is a new breakthrough.
After the meeting, several award-winning designers shook hands with those well-known designers and said a few words. Then a bunch of people poured up to ask for the designer's signature, and Jia Lan saw that there was nothing to do with herself, so she was ready to withdraw. Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around and was about to leave from the VIP passage, she was surrounded by several spectators.
"Beautiful designer, sign us."
"Beautiful designer, take a picture with us."
Jialan didn't expect to have her own affairs at all, she was stunned for a moment, stretched out her hand not to hit the smiling people, and it was not easy to refuse them, so she had to sign them with a smile and take a group photo. As a result, a group of people kept coming over and asking to take pictures with her. She almost fainted, but she didn't dare to frown, so she had to smile at them. She doesn't like to take pictures with people casually, and she doesn't like to expose her portrait rights so casually.
She's not a celebrity, she doesn't need her photos to be posted all over the street, and she doesn't need her name photos to appear in the newspaper news. She doesn't like to expose herself to the public eye. But she couldn't act unhappy, so she was embarrassed. Fortunately, a staff member came over at this time, apologized to the audience surrounding Jialan, and then escorted Jialan to the VIP passage, which made Jialan breathe a sigh of relief. This kind of enthusiasm and treatment like a star is something she can't afford.
"Thank you." Jia Lan said to the staff who brought her out.
"No thanks, it was Commissioner Rhett who asked me to bring you out." The other party said. It turned out to be Rhett's help again, how did he know that he was impatient to entertain those people and didn't like to take pictures with people he didn't know. Looks like she's going to have to thank him again.
Jia Lan walked into the big conference room backstage, and unexpectedly saw Jason and Jia Qian inside. She was stunned for a moment. Because she didn't expect them to be here. She swept her seat just now, but she didn't see the two of them, although she could watch the audience when she came to the stage to receive the award, but unfortunately all the attention at that time was focused on receiving the award and the speech, and she really didn't dare to look at the audience. So she didn't see the two of them at all, and intuitively thought that they had something at home and didn't come to participate.
Now it happened so suddenly, it really caught her off guard. They were chatting with one of the judges of the organizing committee, especially Jia Qian, who was handling it appropriately and was chatting warmly with the senior judge. Jason stood to the side, patiently listening to their chat.
Jia Lan's heart was like a knife all of a sudden. While Jia Qian didn't qualify for VIP access, Jason did, as he was the back-of-house sponsor of the tournament. Jia Lan thought that he brought Jia Qian in to meet these heavyweight designers, which was to pave the way for Jia Qian's future. Sure enough, it's better to be a fiancée. He actually worked so hard to help her. Jia Lan really didn't feel good in her heart. Especially Jason, who obviously saw her, just nodded to her and continued to listen to them carefully. This reaction made Jialan's heart gloomy for a while.
Men really like the new and hate the old, they had a hot fight with themselves some time ago, but now they are standing next to another woman and planning for her. Do you think she'll still be happy? I thought that her relationship with Jason was already very stable, at least that's what she felt. But now it seems that this is just her wishful thinking, how could she think of her when she is surrounded by beautiful people.
