There are only a few awards with the highest gold content of the Peony Award.

In addition to the best actor and best actress, it is the best director and the best film and television drama.

The Best Actor has been won by "The Sea of People", and the Best Actress was successfully won by Zhu Zinan.

Of course, in addition, Chen Kang, as an official actor, also won the best supporting actor for "Mountains and Seas".

The penultimate award at this time is the Best Director award.

Xu Ji won the Best New Director before because of his late debut, so he was not shortlisted for this award.

"The 39th Best Director, the winner is ......"

""Mountains of People", Li Caiying!"

This was what everyone expected.

After all, "The Sea of People" really has no opponents at the Peony Awards this time.

The only "Mountains and Seas" that can compete with it, Xu Ji is a rookie director who failed to be shortlisted, and Li Caiying can't say it if he doesn't win the award.

Xu Ji also sincerely offered his applause at this time.

Director Li Caiying is now in his sixties, and he still insists on his position as a director.

has filmed many classic film and television dramas, and it is not an exaggeration to say that people of their age grew up watching each other's dramas.

In the other party's directorial career for so many years, not only the Peony Award, but also the other two major film and television awards.

Now it's a complete Grand Slam.

And this "People's Mountain, People's Sea" Li Caiying took more than two years from preparation to filming, although the subject matter is relatively niche and boring.

But after reading it, Xu Ji can also feel the sincerity and intentions of the other party.

also understands that after filming this drama, it is estimated that Director Li Caiying will not have any new film and television dramas to meet with you later.

......

"Next is the last award of our Peony Award this year."

"...... finalists for the Best Film and Television Drama Award"

"The Sea of People"

"Mountains and Seas"

"Winter Doesn't Come Again"

......

At this time, the Peony Award has also reached its final conclusion.

The last award, at this time, the scene also held their breath.

"The winner is ......"

""The Sea of People"!"

Hearing the words of the supporters, although it was expected, Xu Ji inevitably felt a little regretful.

However, Xu Ji didn't feel too sad.

After all, the Peony Award is held every year, and it is not so difficult for him to get it.

And the award-winning drama, Xu Ji is indeed convinced.

"The Sea of People" was really well filmed, Xu Ji had to admit it.

From the drama of Li Caiying's predecessors, he saw the love of the older generation for the land he had lived in all his life.

Xu Ji thought as he stood up and applauded Li Caiying, who was holding the trophy on the stage.

With Xu Ji taking the lead, other people at the scene also stood up, and the applause in the stadium of the Peony Award was thunderous.

"Thank you, thank you!"

......

Li Caiying, an old man in his sixties, couldn't help but moisten his eyes at this time, even if he was used to seeing all kinds of scenes.

He understands what the show means to him.

It is estimated that it will be the last finale, ending with the Peony Award winning, and it can be regarded as a farewell to his directorial work without regrets.

......

The Peony Award officially ended, but when he left, he saw Li Caiying, the director of "The Sea of People", taking the initiative to come to Xu Ji's side.

"Director Xu, "Mountains and Seas" is very well filmed!"

"I've actually taken advantage of some seniority this time."

Li Caiying did finish watching "Mountains and Seas", and her impression of Xu Ji, a young director, was originally good.

At the same time, I have a good impression of Xu Ji's behavior of taking the initiative to stand up and take the lead in applauding just now.

Xu Ji waved his hand again and again.

Li Caiying's words are actually a bit modest.

"The Sea of People" is really good, not that it is hard to win the award by relying on director Li Caiying's qualifications.

"Senior, you are too modest."

......

Li Caiying chatted with Xu Ji for a while, and when he left, he took the initiative to speak:

"Director Xu, if there is anything you need help from my old bones in the future, just say it!"

Xu Ji knew that the other party's words were not kind words.

After all, Li Caiying likes to promote the reputation of his juniors, and he is relatively famous.

Many of the current well-known film and television drama directors have been supported by each other when they were young.

And Li Caiying's connections in the film and television industry are indeed very wide.

......

On the evening of the end of the award ceremony, after the announcement of the winners of the Peony Award, it also aroused discussions among many netizens on the Internet.

""The Legend of Sword and Fairy I" is four mentions and four hits!"

""The Sea of People" has become the biggest winner of the Peony Award!"

"Zhu Zinan, the actor of the splash in "Mountains and Seas", won the Best Actress award.

""Mountains and Seas" lost "People, Mountains and Seas""

......

Various hot search entries appeared on Witt.

The most discussed dramas are naturally "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I", "Mountains and Seas" and "People and Seas".

However, seeing that "Mountains and Seas" finally failed to win the award for the best film and television drama, many people who were red before jumped out at this time.

Among them is the figure of Phoenix Entertainment, which has the fewest shortlisted awards this time.

A lot of rhythms about Xu Ji and "Mountains and Seas" suddenly appeared on the Internet.

"The fans blew it so hard, but "Mountains and Seas" still failed to win the best film and television drama in the end?"

"When the shortlist was announced, I thought that "Mountains and Seas" was going to wrap up the Peony Award."

"Xu Ji is really still a newcomer, compared to old-timers like Li Caiying, it's far worse!"

......

In the face of the ridicule of these people, not only fans, but even some passers-by couldn't stand it.

"The winner of the Peony Award can only say that "The Sea of People" is too good, but it doesn't mean that "Mountains and Seas" is not good?"

"Ji Zhou's fans? That's okay, don't be sour if you haven't been shortlisted for the Peony Award. ”

"No matter how Xu Ji is, this time he can be regarded as the biggest winner of the Peony Award except for "The Sea of People", how can anyone still ridicule it?"

......

Just when netizens on the Internet were arguing hotly, they suddenly found that Li Caiying came out and posted a micro-special.

In addition to winning the Peony Award for Best Director and Best Film, he also announced that "The Sea of People" will be the last film and television drama he made.

Most importantly, Li Caiying also mentioned Xu Ji's name.

The tone was full of appreciation for Xu Ji's junior.

And under Li Caiying's micro-special, the previous rhythmic sailors gradually disappeared.

Originally, these sailors have been setting up "Mountains and Seas" and "People's Mountains and Seas" as opposites.

But after Li Caiying made a micro-special, some forces that were secretly engaged in actions realized that the relationship between Li Caiying and Xu Ji was better than they thought.

And Li Caiying's identity and status are there, if it continues, the other party will not be unaware, and it will be a troublesome thing to investigate the parties behind it.

In the end, this inexplicable rhythm came and went quickly, and the trolls disappeared quickly.

......

At this time, after the Peony Award was over, Xu Ji, who was about to return to Rongcheng, came to the guests.

"Director Xu, I finally found a chance to meet you alone."

As soon as Chen Kang entered Xu Ji's room, he was very excited.

At the scene of the Peony Award yesterday, Chen Kang, as an official actor, did not sit at the same table with Xu Ji.

Although the two met and said hello, they didn't have the opportunity to catch up too much.

Xu Ji was a little puzzled, what Chen Kang suddenly came to him for.

After letting Chen Kang sit down on the stool in the hotel room, Xu Ji asked:

"Brother Kang, why did you suddenly remember to look for me?"

Chen Kang opened his mouth and said: "What, I just won the Best Supporting Actor yesterday with "Mountains and Seas", and I can't come to you to celebrate together?" ”

In fact, Chen Kang was a little embarrassed to speak at this time.

After all, when they met for the first time, his attitude towards Xu Ji was not very good.

and also resisted starring in "Mountains and Seas".

Fortunately, after reading the script, I decisively decided to participate.

Otherwise, he would not have had much chance to win the Best Supporting Actor Award for the Peony Award this time.

Unexpectedly, after filming "Mountains and Seas", Chen Kang became more picky about the script and role.

From the beginning when Xu Ji took the initiative to find their official actors, it was Chen Kang's turn to take the initiative to ask Xu Ji about his next shooting plan.

Hopefully I can find a suitable role.

"Director Xu, I heard that the filming of your "Legend of Sword and Fairy II" has ended?"

Chen Kang asked tentatively.

Although Xu Ji didn't understand why the other party asked this, he still nodded.

"Now it's time for post-production."

After Chen Kang heard Xu Ji's words, he continued to ask with some joy:

"And what's next?"

"Is there a plan?"

"Or is it a script?"

When Xu Ji heard this, he finally understood Chen Kang's intention this time.

Said a little funny: "Brother Kang, are you planning to continue to cooperate with me?" ”

After Chen Kang heard Xu Ji's words, he scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Actually, let's see if you have a role that suits me."

Xu Ji also began to think about it at this time, after the filming of the second part of the fairy sword, he really didn't think about what to shoot next.

Seeing Xu Ji's thinking, Chen Kang was also a little disappointed at this time.

But it's normal to think about it, the second part of Xu Ji's fairy sword is still in post-production, how can he come up with the script now.

"Brother Kang, don't worry, if there is a suitable role, I don't need you to say it, I will definitely think of you first."

Chen Kang nodded happily after hearing Xu Ji's words.

At least I got the other party's promise.

However, he still added with some anxiety:

"Director Xu, you don't know, in fact, I have a very wide acting path."

"As long as it's a good role, you can let me audition."

Xu Ji smiled and agreed.

Chen Kang didn't hide it at this time.

said: "I'll tell you the truth, since I acted in "Mountains and Seas", I always feel that I can't find a good script. ”

"I haven't taken a play for months, just waiting for your new drama!"

"Why don't you go back and get some things done and write the script first?"

Speaking of this, Chen Kang also felt that what he said was equivalent to saying it in vain.

How can a script be written so quickly?

Of course, he didn't know that after Duan Shengyu arranged a gift drama task for Xu Ji and others, Xu Ji came up with the script of "Mountains and Seas" in about a week.

At this moment, Xu Ji's mobile phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Xu Ji looked at Chen Kang.

"Elder Duan called."

Xu Ji picked up the phone.

......

"Old Duan."

"If you have time, you won't be busy."

"Okay, then I'll go over now."

......

Seeing Xu Ji hang up the phone, Chen Kang hurriedly asked:

"Director Xu, is Old Duan looking for you for next year's gift drama?"

When Xu Ji heard this, he shook his head and said:

"How is it possible, only now."

"Old Duan didn't say anything, he just asked me to go over and find him."

Chen Kang immediately said: "I'll go with you!" ”

Duan Shengyu looked for Xu Ji, and in Chen Kang's opinion, it was very likely that he would definitely be asked to take on a new project.

Although I don't know what it is for the time being, it means that Xu Ji's next drama has eyebrows.

Naturally, he had to follow as soon as possible, and it was best to settle the role first.

Even if Xu Ji's script was not written, after "Mountains and Seas", Chen Kang already trusted Xu Ji very much.

He believes that as long as it is a script written by Xu Ji, it is unlikely to be bad.

......

Speaking of which, Duan Shengyu was looking for Xu Ji at the right time this time, and the Peony Award was presented in the capital, otherwise Xu Ji would have to come to the capital.

Because he was going to meet Duan Shengyu, Xu Ji also changed his plane ticket for today.

After telling Pang Er, let him and Ji Yiyang and the others go back early.

In the car, Chen Kang was still telling Xu Ji his guesses.

"Old Duan shouldn't let you go over if it's okay."

"Although tomorrow's tribute drama is a bit early, it is not impossible to set it in advance."

"Anyway, there must be a shooting mission."

Xu Ji was noncommittal.

It just so happens that Xu Ji has not yet decided on the next drama, and if the official representative of Duan Shengyu has a relevant invitation, Xu Ji does not mind the next step.

......

The distance between the hotel where Xu Ji and the others lived and the Television and Radio Bureau where Duan Shengyu was located was not far.

And in the case of Chen Kang, a native of the capital, driving a car, Xu Ji thought that he would be able to arrive soon.

But he seems to have underestimated the transportation in the capital.

It took more than ten minutes to arrive, and it took an hour to arrive.

......

"Old chief, who is the director who introduced me this time?"

"Can you tell us a little bit about that?"

"First of all, we attach great importance to this promotional video."

At this time, in Duan Shengyu's office, a middle-aged man in a military uniform spoke.

Duan Shengyu replied while drinking tea:

"The person I chose, aren't you still at ease?"

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"The man has arrived!"

Duan Shengyu put down the tea he hadn't drunk yet and spoke.

As soon as Xu Ji and Chen Kang came in, they subconsciously looked at the middle-aged soldiers beside Duan Shengyu.

Both of them knew that Duan Shengyu had joined the army.

And the identity of the people around the other party naturally doesn't need to be said.

......

"Tell me about it."

"Our official actor, Chen Kang."

"There is also the director of the previous collaboration on the tribute drama project, Xu Ji."

"This is Minister Hu of the Propaganda Department of our Northern Military Region."

Xu Ji and Chen Kang were taken aback after hearing Duan Shengyu's introduction.

After the two sat down, Duan Shengyu said to Minister Hu:

"That's the director I recommend to you."

Hu Lan was actually a little surprised when she saw Xu Ji, and the other party was so young.

If it weren't for Duan Shengyu's previous praise, he would probably feel that such a young director would be a little unreliable.

But he still won't question Duan Shengyu's vision, this young man named Xu Ji must have something outstanding to make his old chief so respected.

And it's quite pleasing to the eye.

looks very handsome, and doesn't look like the boys who look a little feminine now, but there is a little heroism between the eyebrows.

Hu Lan shook hands with the two briefly, and then said, "Let's sit down and talk." ”

After Xu Ji and Chen Kang agreed, they sat down on the sofa.

Although Duan Shengyu also has the temperament of a soldier, after all, he has been away from the army for a long time, and he is also old, so it is not very obvious.

There is no pressure on Hu Lan, who is in the prime of life in front of him.

"Director Xu, in fact, the trouble for the old chief to find you this time is mainly because I want to ask you for a favor."

Hu Lan is still very polite, Xu Ji is not his own soldier after all.

And it's not even an official director, so he still has a request for help in this matter.

Xu Ji naturally didn't dare to put on a show, and hurriedly said:

"Minister Hu, if there is anything I can help with, just say."

"I'll definitely cooperate here!"

Hu Lan handed the information in his hand to Xu Ji.

Then he gave one to Chen Kang by the way.

Duan Shengyu was actually a little puzzled, why did Chen Kang come with him.

But I didn't ask too much.

After Xu Ji finished reading all the information, he asked with some doubts: "Recruitment propaganda video?" ”

Hu Lan nodded.

"Yes, I don't know if Director Xu can take this task."

Duan Shengyu also looked at Xu Ji at this time.

As for Chen Kang, his expression was a little disappointed.

Originally, he thought that Xu Ji would take over the filming.

Maybe Xu Ji can have a role that suits him.

If it's a promotional video, it seems like a trip in vain.

Xu Ji thought for a while and then said:

"No problem!"

Hu Lan heard Xu Ji's promise so decisively, but opened his mouth to remind:

"I'm very demanding."

Xu Ji nodded.

"I'm also very demanding of myself."

"Minister Hu rest assured, it will definitely not be perfunctory!"

Duan Shengyu also added at this time:

"Xu Ji's words, I'm still very relieved."

"It's just a recruitment propaganda film, it's not a big deal."

Duan Shengyu has trusted Xu Ji very much since the "Mountains and Seas" of the gift drama project came out.

As for how efficient Xu Ji was, he still remembered it vividly at this time.

"Then it's settled!"

"Since it's the person recommended by the old chief, I don't have anything to worry about!"

Hu Lan said very decisively, dragging mud and water is not his style.

And he has always been suspicious of people and has an attitude of not doubting people.

Xu Ji was still thinking about something at this time.

When he and Chen Kang stood up and prepared to leave, Xu Ji spoke:

"Elder Duan, Minister Hu, I'll take out the script within this week."

Looking at the back of Xu Ji leaving, the two suddenly felt a little puzzled.

The script of a promotional video, this week is inevitably too long, right?

And Duan Shengyu didn't think much about it, and took the initiative to explain: "Anyway, it's not in a hurry, it's always good to keep improving." ”

Hu Lan nodded.

"I share the old chief's opinion."

......

After leaving the Television and Radio Bureau, Xu Ji took the initiative to say to Chen Kang: "Brother Kang, if you can, the schedule will be temporarily vacated first." ”

"I should have a role for you."

Chen Kang suddenly became excited when he heard Xu Ji's words.

"Really?!

”

"Can you tell us about the subject?"

Xu Ji nodded.

"That's the task that Minister Hu gave just now."

Chen Kang, who was originally very excited, was a little disappointed when he heard Xu Ji's words.

It turns out that Xu Ji is talking about a promotional video.

How long can the promotional video be, it is estimated that he doesn't have a few lines.

However, Chen Kang did not refuse and agreed.

"Just contact me then."

......

At the same time, in a large studio in the capital, rehearsals for the National Day Gala were underway at this time.

Sha Yetong arrived in the capital today, although he and Xu Ji are in the same city, but the two obviously can't take time to meet.

Xu Ji's participation in the Peony Award was only busy on the night of the award, but Sha Yetong participated in the rehearsal of the National Day Gala, but he needed to stay at the rehearsal site for several days.

didn't come ahead of schedule with Xu Ji, also because Sha Yetong continued to practice singing in Rongcheng for a few days.

The importance of the National Day Gala is self-evident, and Sha Yetong naturally attaches great importance to it.

"This show can also be finalized."

"But I need to talk to them about it, even the kind of small mistakes in rehearsals can't be made again."

......

Duan Suxin said with a serious face, while the assistant on the side was recording it in his notebook.

"What's next?"

Duan Suxin asked.

"Solo, the singer is Sha Yetong."

Hearing Sha Yetong's name, Duan Suxin relaxed a lot.

If it's Sha Yetong, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Many of the songs Xu Ji wrote to Sha Yetong are quite suitable for the party.

And after the Spring Festival Gala, she also knew that Sha Yetong belonged to the kind of singer with a big heart.

The bigger the stage, the less likely the opponent will make mistakes, and the better they will play.

"Director Duan, it's just Sha Yetong's song this time, it's a new song."

Duan Suxin was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Then the expression returned to normal.

"It's okay, the song written by Xu Ji shouldn't be too bad."

......

Although he has experienced the Spring Festival Gala, Sha Yetong is still a little nervous about the first audition of the rehearsal program of the National Day Gala at this time.

The people who participated in the party this time were basically some old-timers.

Official singers are in the majority, and there are only a few unofficial singers like her.

However, Sha Yetong is also different from when he participated in the Spring Festival Gala at that time, and now he has a lot of stage experience, although he is nervous, he can still maintain a stable performance.

After singing the song, Sha Yetong breathed a sigh of relief.

The performance is quite satisfying.

But when she looked at director Duan Suxin, she found that the other party was still looking at the lyrics on the table intently at this time.

"Can you sing it again?"

Sha Yetong was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

......
