Chapter 634
634 The ceremony
The award ceremony for ‘century-old filmmaker’ was at 18:00 pm. It officially started at 30 O ‘clock. People who were familiar with each other whispered in the audience, discussing topics related to the shortlisted works.
On the internet, there were countless bets on who would become the biggest winner of the ‘century-old filmmaker’ title this year. Below the grandstand, Jiang se stood in the aisle. The makeup artist was touching up her makeup. Someone from Hong Kong jewelry had also come over to replace the earrings on her ears with a pair of new Hong Kong jewelry designs that had not been released yet.
Mo Anqi squatted on the ground and took off her black stiletto and replaced it with a pair of high heels with silver straps, which matched her handbag.
For this ‘century-old filmmaker’ event, Jiang SE’s dress was also designed by Melovin as she had a high chance of working with the brand, Melovin. With Xia Chaoqun’s help, a stylist hired by Melovin was also added to Jiang SE’s personal stylist during the ‘century-old filmmaker’ event.
She had already walked down the red carpet in the cheongsam she was wearing and attracted a wave of attention.
Before ” God’s salvation ” was promoted to the ” century-old filmmaker’s ” outstanding work and had a very low chance of winning one of the ” century-old filmmaker ” awards, the team had already discussed whether Jiang se should change into a new outfit after the red carpet show to face the possibility of going on stage to receive an award. Even if the chance was slim, she should still be prepared.
But in the end, the team gave up on the idea because of the schedule of ‘centuries-old filmmaker’.
The closing ceremony of ‘century of filmmakers’ was very tight. The red carpet and the award ceremony were only half an hour apart.
As the female lead of ” God’s salvation “, Jiang se had the advantage of acting opposite Donald. The red carpet was only for the latter half of the show. After she entered the venue, she still had to touch up her makeup and change her shoes. Changing into her formal dress would be a waste of time.
In the end, Melovin’s designer suggested that they put some effort into the dress she was originally going to wear and make some subtle changes to make the dress, which had already been shown once, a new surprise for the audience.
It took a lot of time to decide on the original style, draft, and print the final design for the modified cheongsam. It took almost 300 days for the final dress to appear in front of Jiang se.
It was not a small project to modify it in a short time.
After much discussion, the team came up with a plan to come up with a bold idea of two ways to wear a piece of clothing.
After Jiang se changed into the earrings and high heels, Melovin’s designer carefully undid the collar of her cheongsam, which was covered with rhinestones. He removed the shiny accessories on it. The collar of the cheongsam, which was originally embedded with gorgeous jewels, was now plain and clean. It was shorter than before. The dangling earrings were dazzling and complemented her slender and fair neck.
In her place was a shawl that was hand-embroidered with black chiffon that Melovin’s people had taken out. The designer carefully sewed it to the back of her neck. The chiffon barely covered her snow-white shoulders. Silver diamonds were sewn into the lower hem, and she began sewing from below the calf until there were more and more embellishments, forming a Black Star pattern with a silver gradient.
It was already 18:26, four minutes before the award ceremony officially began. Mo Anqi kept looking at her watch. The designer of Melovin still had a few more stitches to finish.
The lights around them dimmed. On the big screen in the center of the venue, the three-minute scene of the classic films that had been selected in the past years was being played. Surrounded by the sound system, Jiang SE’s palms were already sweating. Xia Chaoqun did not show it on his face, but he had already controlled himself and took a few deep breaths without making a sound.
Such work could not be rushed at all. Jiang se was wearing a dress and the light around her was dim. Even if someone next to her had turned on the light on their cell phone, the designer’s hand would tremble slightly if she was rushed. There was a high chance that the needle would Pierce her neck.
However, the ceremony was about to begin. The guests who had come in earlier had all returned to their seats. The remaining female celebrities who had stayed in the corridor to touch up their makeup looked slightly anxious, silently urging the makeup artist to hurry up.
Even chessaray, who was sitting on the chair, turned his head to look at her. Mo Anqi was even more anxious.
However, Melovin’s designer remained unhurried. This ‘centuries-old filmmaker’ award ceremony was not only about whether Jiang SE’s ” God’s salvation ” would win the award, but it was also a test for her by Melovin’s brand. They wanted to see if she could create an absolute topic.
Tonight, Jiang SE’s stunning red carpet walk had attracted a certain amount of attention. However, to Melovin, it was far from enough for Melovin’s brand to easily make Jiang se their spokesperson for their custom-made ready-to-wear clothes. Jiang SE’s ability to wear Melovin’s gown and instantly become a classic was enough to become a case that would be remembered in Melovin’s history in the future. Her cooperation with Melovin would earn more enthusiasm from Melovin.
Xia Chaoqun was obviously aware of this situation as well. Hence, even though she knew that time was ticking by and the celebrities who were reapplying their makeup were leaving one after another, she still did not rush them.
Jiang se understood that as well. Hence, when meloovin’s designer was sewing the shawl for her, she was still memorizing the script to divert her attention.
The emcee was already in place at the center of the stage. It was already 18:00 pm. At 29 points, Melovin’s designer finally finished the last stitch. After carefully hiding the thread, he did a simple finishing touch. He helped Jiang se adjust her shawl and could not help but sigh.
“It’s perfect,”
It was too late. Chesare’s assistant had come over to give silent reminders. The moment the live broadcast officially began, the live camera in the sacred Great Hall would quickly sweep the entire venue, so that the audience watching the TV around the world could get a glimpse of the venue of this year’s ‘centuries-old filmmaker’.
When she walked down the aisle, she might become the center of attention, and many audience members who were dissatisfied with the use of Chinese actresses in ” the salvation of God ” and replaced Laura would use this as a point of attack.
Mo Anqi held onto her dress and strode back to her seat.
Strong music played in the venue. Xia Chaoqun pursed his lips and lowered his head to look at the time. It was 18: It had been 29 minutes and 36 seconds, but Jiang SE’s steps were still steady in the dark.
She was not flustered by the lack of time. She knew that the more she messed up, the more mistakes she would make. Therefore, even though she knew that there was not enough time, she still kept her back straight and her expression calm. Mo Anqi held her cloak and ran after her in small steps.
She covered the 20-meter distance very quickly and sat down in the seat reserved for her. She even turned to chessaray and flashed him a smile. She was extremely calm. No one would have guessed that Jiang SE’s heart was beating so fast that it was like a drum. Her palms were already drenched in sweat.
Mo Anqi bent her back and was only halfway back when a countdown suddenly appeared on the huge screen in the center of the venue. The stadium’s holographic voice began to count down, ”
“Three ... Two ...”
His voice surrounded the venue and instantly ignited the guests ‘excited emotions. They couldn’t help but count along with him, ”
“One!”
Tao Tao was also among the people who were counting down. Before she came to United States, she had made a lot of preparations overnight. She had read the guides written by many industry insiders about the ‘century-old filmmaker’ award ceremony at the sacred auditorium, so she naturally did not miss this special countdown.
This was a special custom of ‘century-old filmmaker’. The audience who had been lucky enough to be there in person had excitedly described this scene with gorgeous words. Tao Tao had also tried to imagine the scene through text records, but her imagination was far less than one-ten-thousandth of what she had seen with her own eyes.
At that moment, when the audience was counting down, Tao Tao felt as if she had become one with the ‘centuries-old filmmaker’.
Even though she had arrived in the United States two days ago and had come to the sacred auditorium early in the morning to shoot, at this moment, she really felt like she was witnessing a ‘miracle’ and participating in this solemn closing ceremony of the film.
Mo Anqi returned to Xia Chaoqun’s side. As soon as she stopped shouting, the lights in the venue were switched on. On stage, Catherine had already walked to the center of the stage with a smile on her face. The three bright spotlights on the stage shone on her, allowing the audience to see this beautiful woman in the spotlight clearly.
Thunderous applause rang out in the venue, and then the camera turned, clearly showing every corner of the venue.
The camera even stopped for a short close-up on several of the most popular directors who had won the ‘century-old filmmaker’ award this year. The direction where Chesare was also one of the lucky ones.
Ever since Tao Tao entered the venue, she had been looking for Jiang se. However, due to the massive size of the venue, she could only see a dense crowd of guests as far as the eye could see. Under the illumination of the starry lights around her, it was difficult for her to see Jiang se when she first entered.
After the lights were turned off, she could not find Jiang se at all. It was only when the cameras in the venue started rolling and she stared at the big screen that she saw Jiang SE’s reflection.
Even if it was just a glimpse, it was enough to stun her.
The live broadcast of ‘century of cinema’ on China’s television stations had already reached an extremely ridiculous figure in the online viewership ratings. Among the figures sent to China’s television stations by radio and television audience research institutes, it was a double net breaking seven.
After mobile phones, computers, and the Internet had dispersed people’s enthusiasm for watching TV shows, it was very rare for viewership ratings to reach this number in recent years.
In the past,’century-old filmmaker’ had also caused a sensation and attention, but the situation was different from this year. In the past, the Chinese people had held the attitude of watching the release of ‘century-old filmmaker’ without concern.
However, due to Jiang SE’s participation in the red carpet event this year, the enthusiasm of the Chinese citizens was ignited, and the viewership ratings shot up in no time.
On the Chinese television station’s official website, the instant Jiang se appeared, netizens who were quick to react took screenshots of her and captured her image.
She didn’t seem to realize that she had been photographed. Like the thousands of guests and audience, she was clapping to welcome the arrival of ‘centuries-old filmmaker’.
Even though it was just a random part of the picture, her beauty was not affected in the slightest. When she smiled, her eyes seemed to be filled with Starlight.
...
A long memory-my goddess changed into a gown!
“You’re even cuter today than you were yesterday. Jiang se is so beautiful!”
[ inflated: the first Chinese actress to become a ‘century-old filmmaker’ with her work. Jiang se [ flying kiss ] [ flying kiss ]!
[ China’s descendant, Jiang se, has appeared! Jiang se has just appeared! ]
......
The comments came one after another, and the netizens who were watching the live broadcast could not suppress their excitement.
On the ‘century-old filmmaker’ stage, the camera zoomed in from top to bottom, capturing the entire venue. Ackerman had already walked to the front of the stage and greeted the audience. The cheers became more intense.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to our world film history of 100 years award ceremony.
This rose from England had a cold and charming style on the stage. Her voice was a little hoarse, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she received a thunderous applause from the audience.
She smiled and paused for about three seconds before she continued, ”
after three years of separation from the previous century-old history of film art, the arts and excellent directors have brought us together again.
...
Ever since the establishment of ‘century-old filmmaker’, there had been different topics that had been combined with the birth of the film. They focused on charity, Environmental Protection, human rights, and so on. Every time, they would be combined with the theme of the film with the host’s opening speech.
ninety-six years ago, when Mr. Locke came up with the idea of ‘centuries-old filmmaker’, you might not have expected that his idea at that time would leave us with such a precious thing. Catherine paused and smiled as she raised her head to look into the distance. on our stage, countless directors and the best works from different countries have appeared. We treat everyone equally.
When chessaray heard this, he turned to look at Jiang se while clapping with the audience.
tonight’s theme seems to be equality.
The moment he finished speaking, Jiang se was stunned.
Chesare’s words had a deep meaning, but he was not the only one who understood the meaning behind the rose of Britain’s words.
In the venue, as a very famous film critic in the circle, schupien was also an invited guest for the closing ceremony of ‘centuries-old filmmaker’. His seat was a little far from the stage, but thanks to the panoramic sound, every word Catherine said was clearly transmitted into his ears.
“Could tonight’s theme be equality?”
He and Chesare were separated by almost half the venue, but they said the same thing at the same time.
Everyone knew that the century-old filmmaker had an unspoken rule. The closer the ideas of the film were to the theme of the conference, the more beneficial it was for the film participating in the election.
In ” God’s salvation “, Jiang se was from China. Before this, there were rumors that Jiang se would bring down the entire movie’s outlook.
