At the National Grand Theater in Beijing, the award ceremony has not yet begun.
There are several films winning awards tonight, covering a wide range of topics. The band has prepared its instruments, and more and more people are entering the audience. There are many cameras around, so people are more careful about their appearance and talk quietly in the audience. The hall is filled with the "buzz" of voices, but it is not noisy.
Xiao Deng, the part-time secretary, returned to Gao Xu and Miao Jin with a stack of cards. She distributed the cards to the people around her, sat down next to Gao Xu and whispered, "Many TV stations are broadcasting live, so the ceremony was chosen in the evening, where the ratings are higher. After the ceremony, there will be a cocktail party on the 18th floor of the theater hotel next door."
Xiao Deng was wearing a skirt and shoulder-length hair, and she had makeup on, which was rare. Her cheeks were flushed, and it was unclear w
Just as Xiao Deng said, after the ceremony, there was a cocktail party on the 18th floor of the theater hotel next door.Gao Xu stood by the wall holding a glass of sweet red wine. He looked at the white woman playing a strange musical instrument for a while, then turned to Miao Jin and said, "Compared to the luncheon the day after tomorrow, I really prefer this kind of modern cocktail party."He thought for a moment and continued, "A banquet is like a traditional rural banquet with a hierarchy of presentations. The important person at the head of the table is the core of the whole place. Then, among the guests at each table, there are always one or two more prestigious and senior people who maintain the atmosphere and topics of the whole table.People are forced to repeat universal clichés because even friends, family members, and colleagues may not share the same interests. The experience is often not that good, so people call it socializing. But this kind
Mr. Pan observed Gao Xu from time to time, as if he had something to say but could not express it in words. At a certain moment, his expression showed a sense of giving up.But he finally spoke, "Mr. Liu has a very peaceful mentality, not like an arrogant person. But I always have a feeling that you seem to be used to control, like a god who can give and take..." He took a breath and frowned as if thinking, "Before making "Dream Seeker", Mr. Liu must have been very short of funds, right?"Gao Xu felt a little unhappy after hearing this. Perhaps it was not because Mr. Pan's words were unpleasant, but because Gao Xu was not used to being paid too much attention, especially by unfamiliar people.Although Mr. Pan's expression was messy, Gao Xu still captured the meaning, which is probably twofold.First, arrogant people often have a mismatch between strength and mentality. Only with an arrogant mentality can they project the corresponding words and deeds;
The light at dusk has gradually dimmed, and the street lights have not yet been turned on. On the clean, flat, and slightly narrow tarmac road, the main part of the modern building is light gray, decorated with low fences and a few evergreens, quiet and peaceful. The light yellow light from the house, the swaying figures on the kitchen window, and the floating music make people feel warm and cozy.Gao Xu received two calls, Wang Cheng and his wife and Xiao Deng were almost there. He described the specific location and route of the residence twice.Then he called Miao Jin and said, "Let's go to the door to meet them."Miao Jin stood up from the amplifier and walked over. She was wearing a dark purple dress, revealing her beautiful white shoulders, which matched the modern style of the house's decoration and furnishings very well. This was also the least conservative dress she had worn in front of others, probably because the dinner was at home.The chef
People returned to the rectangular oak dining table. The beige light from the scattered light bulbs was bright but not glaring. The solid wood speaker worth 30,000 yen was playing a beautiful but peculiar song.Various traditional oriental orchestral instruments, violin melodies, and the gentle singing of female voices interpret a range of musical styles that classical music has never had. The complex combination of instruments can produce a harmonious and delicate auditory sense. This is probably the reason why this song has become a classic.Gao Xu was sitting at the top, with Wang Cheng and his wife on his left, and Miao Jin and Xiao Deng on his right. Wang Cheng said, "This is the music from the book "The Ideal Country" during the reign of Emperor Xingzong. It was a turbulent and colorful era, like the second Hundred Schools of Thought."Gao Xu immediately responded, "One of them is "The Transformation of Pastoral". It was chosen by Xiaowan."Miao
The chef and his assistants had already left, leaving only two waiters cleaning up the kitchen.Gao Xu invited the guests to drink juice by the swimming pool in the backyard, and at the same time freed up the restaurant for the waiters to clean up. He was not very used to doing housework, and he didn't want to do it, so he felt that Miaojin should do less.He was a little drunk, but it was once again verified that people can still be relatively conscious after being drunk.A total of two bottles of liquor with over 50% alcohol content were opened, mainly consumed by Gao Xu and Wang Cheng, and Xiao Deng also drank a lot. The remaining two women mainly drank sweet red wine.Wang Cheng's characteristic was that he talked a lot when he was drunk. When a few people were sitting by the swimming pool, he started rambling, and after a while he started talking about the law. Why is this topic, probably because he is familiar with it."Mr. Liu, let me tell
The piece of paper in Xiao Deng's hand represents a huge sum of money.Two million yuan, calculated according to the grain price, is equivalent to 10 or 20 million yuan. Even in the most expensive areas of Beijing and Taicang, she can buy two or three high-rise properties. For an ordinary person, it is exaggerated to say that this amount of money has the power to change the trajectory of life."This is the compensation you deserve. It's already your personal funds." Gao Xu said calmly, "You should accept it first. We have no right to ask how you deal with it."Gao Xu suddenly wanted to know how Xiao Deng would eventually deal with her family disputes and what would happen next.He also felt that his thoughts seemed a little lacking in sympathy, but he was indeed very curious. The industrialized Ming Dynasty was different from the Ming Dynasty and any other era; but Gao Xu vaguely realized that some of the traditional intrinsic things did not seem to ha
Going there in the summer didn't seem like a good choice. Gao Xu and Miao Jin had just gotten off the plane and were waiting for a car outside Cairo Airport. He immediately felt like he was in a big steamer and sweat broke out all over his body.The person he admired most at this time was Miao Jin, who was beside him. She was dressed very tightly, wearing lace-up leather shoes, canvas trousers, a loose cotton long-sleeved shirt, a sun hat, sunglasses, and a mask, with almost no skin exposed except for her hands."Are you okay?" Gao Xu asked kindly.Miao Jin glanced sideways, facing him with sunglasses, and said weakly, "If you calm down, you will feel cooler."Gao Xu seemed to have said this many times.Finally, a Ming-made "Mountain Tiger" off-road vehicle arrived. When we contacted the hotel by phone, they said that the person picking us up at the airport was driving a Mountain Tiger off-road vehicle. Sure enough, a sign was extended from the w
There was an air-conditioned tea room next to the restaurant downstairs. Miao Jin, who was wearing long-sleeved clothes, suggested drinking some tea until dusk. Gao Xu naturally followed her wishes.They both ordered a kind of black tea that the locals loved to drink. After a while, a black girl came over with a few ceramic containers. She should be Nubian. Gao Xu was not sure, but those with darker skin were most likely Nubians.She first put a dish of white sugar on the table, and the sugar in it stood out. Gao Xu then said to Miao Jin, "It seems that people like to eat sweets.""Dang!" Suddenly there was a crisp sound, and Gao Xu turned around, only to see a teacup falling to the ground, causing pieces to scatter and tea to spill all over the floor. The black girl immediately froze on the spot, then she put the other tea cup on the table, trembling all over and knelt on the ground to pick up the pieces. Come to tears.After a while, a tall white man
