Chapter 246: The smell of gunpowder at the award ceremony

Luoshanji is a well-known city in the United States, belonging to California, and its economic prosperity is even more prosperous than the capital Nexus, which can be said to be the economic link of the United States. @

It is home to the world's most famous center of the film and television industry, and it is also a place where great wealth and dreams are connected.

After landing, Lin Xiao and Qiao Nier walked around the Herie Jade, and had to admit that this is indeed a dream place that people yearn for, and at night, the whole Herie Jade is still brightly lit, with neon lights of various colors shining, like the brightest star in the night sky, and like a gem embedded in the earth and exuding a dense atmosphere.

I went to Disney theme park for another day, and it wasn't the first time that Joniel had come here, she acted as a tour guide, and took Lin Xiao to visit everywhere, and no matter where she went, she could make a detailed introduction, this girl's tour guide talent value was almost full.

After playing, the two returned to the hotel, this time Lin Xiao did not stay in the hotel prepared by the organizer, because they were not allowed to bring their families, so the two of them booked a hotel.

The hotel is just three blocks away from the venue, which is a 15-minute walk away, and the venue of this event is the world-famous Luoshanji Music Center.

The Loshanji Music Center consists of four parts: the Concert Hall, the Drama Theatre, the Theatre, the Music Stage, and the Disney Concert Hall. The famous Dorothy Chandler Hall, also known as the Concert Hall, is the venue for the famous Roshanji Symphony Orchestra and Opera House.

It is also the cultural center of Luoshanji, and many academic award ceremonies are held here every year. It is also the venue for the Academy Awards, the highest award in the world of cinema.

And this time, the World Mystery Fiction Association successfully won the Drama Theater as the venue for the Ellen Award and the Dillinger Award.

Until the day before the awards. Lin Xiao only received the ticket for the award ceremony in the hotel, of course, Qiao Nier didn't get it, she could only stay in the hotel honestly......

In the afternoon of the same day, Yang Jian also arrived. This time, he brought two people, one was Lin Xiao's old acquaintance Li Tianming, who came with him at the last exchange meeting, and the other was a very good-looking young man named Meng Jun. is a newcomer to the Chinese Writers Association, Lin Xiao found from Yang Jian's introduction that this Meng Jun's background must be very deep, otherwise it would be impossible to enter the Chinese Writers Association without famous works.

After Lin Xiao met with the three of them, he called Qiao Nier. Let's go to dinner together.

Five Chinese people together, of course, Chinese food is preferred, Qiao Nier took everyone to a Northeast restaurant with a pure taste, and after the five of them ate, they started chatting.

Meng Jun seemed to be very interested in Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao could see at a glance that this person was not his fan, and his interest in Lin Xiao was not that kind of love. Adoration, or intimacy, but a feeling that is not very clear. It's like the feeling of wanting to take Lin Xiao for himself.

This made Lin Xiao very uncomfortable, but Meng Jun was polite and polite to Lin Xiao everywhere, and Lin Xiao couldn't say anything wrong.

At about six o'clock in the evening, everyone went back to the hotel separately.

"How do I feel that little white face is plotting against you?" Qiao Nier and Lin Xiao walked back leisurely. As he spoke, his tone was very teasing.

Lin smiled at Qiao Nier and said, "Go, go!" Can it be a little positive? We're both men! ”

"What's wrong with the man? Isn't that all the rage now? Jonnier said with a wicked smile.

Lin Xiao frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense with you, be serious." I really feel that this Meng Jun seems to have a purpose for me. ”

"Look, you noticed that too, right? You have to stay away from him, or you'll lose your temperance! Hahaha......" Qiao Nier listened to Lin Xiao's words, and laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight.

Lin Xiao looked at Qiao Nier, who was bending over and holding the lamp pole, speechlessly, and felt a wail in her heart......

Early the next morning, Lin Xiao came directly to the door of the Luoshanji Music Center, Yang Jian and the others had already arrived, and after the four of them converged, they went directly into the music center.

A special staff member checked the tickets and led them to the Word Theater, where the awards ceremony was held.

The theater is divided into two floors, the stage is on the first floor, the audience seat is semicircular, there is a floor on the top and bottom, the people who participated in the award ceremony this time are sitting on the first floor, and the guests who came to watch the ceremony are on the second floor.

When the four of them came in, there were already a lot of people sitting inside, and there were already reporters waiting at the door, as soon as Lin Xiao and the others appeared, the flash lights immediately kept flashing, which made Lin Xiao quickly squint.

"It's Lin! Lin, who wrote "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Murder on the Nile"! After a reporter saw Lin Xiao, he immediately said to his peers.

"'Murder on the Nile' has been put on the big screen, and the box office is not bad, it is said to be more than 50 million dollars."

"Huaxia should be the first time in history to win the Ellen Award, right?"

"Lin's mystery novel is really a must, I'm really looking forward to his new work, but it's a pity that it's been almost a year, and I haven't seen any movement from him, which is really anxious."

Lin Xiao's arrival caused a commotion that was not small, in the world of mystery novels, his reputation is not small, he was in the limelight at the last exchange meeting, and he has already let people in this circle of the world know him.

Lin Xiao walked across the red carpet and saw a person in front of him waving to him, and Lin Xiao saw that it was Annie, a famous mystery novel writer in the United States.

Lin smiled and nodded, walked over with Yang Jian and the others, and sat next to Annie.

The seats for this award ceremony are made casually, and the relevant people sit in the front position, usually acquaintances sit together, chatting, and the atmosphere is very relaxed and cheerful.

"Long time no see, Lin." Anne gave Lin Xiao a hug, and Lin Xiao was a little unaccustomed to the warm way of meeting in the United States, and patted Anne's back a little embarrassedly in response.

"How? Are there any new works? Anne asked Lin with a smile.

Lin Xiao spread his hands and said, "Not yet, during this time, I have been writing about other genres." ”

"I watched your "Evil Ghost Extinguishing the Lamp", it's very good, it completely feels like a blockbuster of Heli Yu, and it is very likely to be bought by Heli Yu in the future!" Anne gave a thumbs up.

The "Evil Ghost Extinguishing the Lamp" she is talking about is "The Ghost Blows Out the Lamp", which is currently only published in China, not abroad, so Lin Xiao doesn't know where Anne got the British version...... I guess I found a translator to translate it myself.

"Thanks, what about you? Is there a new work? Lin Xiao asked back.

"Well, it's being conceived, and it's estimated that it will be completed in another month to two months." Anne replied lightly.

At this time, two groups of people came in outside, causing a commotion again, Lin Xiao and Anne looked up, only to see the three people walking in front, all of whom were from the island country, led by Haruko Cheda, the mystery novelist of the island country who had come to the previous exchange meeting, was the one who wrote "Lost", she won the fourth place in the last exchange meeting, and next to her was Momotaro, who participated with her last time and won the eighth, but the results of Momotaro last time should not be awarded, this time it may be accompanied by Haruko Cheda.

Haruko Cheda waved to the flash with a charming smile, while Momotaro had no expression on his face, walking forward one by one, only when he passed in front of Lin Xiao, he glanced at Lin Xiao, and there seemed to be a little smell of gunpowder in his eyes. (To be continued)
