Chapter 921: Rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala
Unlike the Silver Rooster Award, the organizer of the “Prynne” Award was not organized by a certain company behind the scenes. The “Prynne” Award was jointly organized by several major television stations in the country. The judges consisted of 20 national professional actors and 100 public judges from all walks of life.
Be it the participation criteria or the selection criteria, they were all quite high. It was held once every five years and included all the major dramas within five years. If one really obtained this, they could dominate the domestic television industry for the rest of their lives.
Hence, even if Xia Wanyuan had only entered the circle, it was enough to attract the attention of the entertainment industry.
[This nomination is a little amazing. It can be considered the official recognition of Xia Wanyuan’s acting skills.]
[It’s probably impossible to win the award. After all, there are so many seniors around. But to be nominated, it means that Xia Wanyuan still has something.]
[ Is it that amazing? I’ve seen a lot of my friends on WeChat watching Moon as Frost. I’ll go and see if the rumors are true. ]
The Weibo post that had once caused an uproar was once again pushed up by someone.
“Is it awkward? What about the person who stepped on Xia Wanyuan’s acting skills back then? Being nominated for the Prynne Award already means that her acting skills have been recognized.”
[Hehe, it’s just a nomination and she didn’t get an award. How shameless are the fans? Don’t they often brag that Xia Wanyuan is a female CEO? Buy a nomination and see how excited your fans are.]
Lin Shiyin’s fans and Xia Wanyuan’s fans began a new round of argument. Unfortunately, Lin Shiyin’s fans were famous for being strong. Xia Wanyuan’s fans had always been docile, so they had no choice but to be mocked at the door.
From Chen Yun’s excited expression, Xia Wanyuan also knew the weight of winning this award nomination. She looked at Jun Shiling suspiciously. “You fought for me?”
Jun Shiling stopped typing. “You should be more confident in yourself.”
Unless Xia Wanyuan spoke up, Jun Shiling would not help her arrange any awards. After all, with Xia Wanyuan’s strength, there was no problem with these things.
Xia Wanyuan flipped through the script in her hand. Lin Jing had found someone to write it according to Jun Shiling’s request.
The main storyline was actually Xia Wanyuan’s growth in her previous life.
Over the past few days, Xia Wanyuan had filled in some details as she read. Now, the script was completely mature.
Thinking of entering the production team to film again, Xia Wanyuan felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation.
“I’m going to the television building to rehearse.” Xia Wanyuan put away the script and patted Jun Shiling’s shoulder. “Remember to pick me up tonight.” Then, Xia Wanyuan walked straight out of the house.
The temperature on his shoulder seemed to linger, after being patted by Xia Wanyuan. Thinking of Xia Wanyuan’s matter-of-fact tone, the corners of Jun Shiling’s lips curled up a little. Now that Xia Wanyuan was in front of him, he could really say that she was spoiled.
However, he really liked Xia Wanyuan’s spoiled appearance.
It was already the middle of December, less than a month before the world-famous Chinese New Year Gala. All the preparations had ended, and people from all over the world were working hard for this event.
Today was the first full rehearsal of the gala.
As a gala that could gather more than a billion Chinese people, every scene needed to be extremely exquisite. Every minute and second needed to be accurately calculated.
In order to maintain the mystery of the show to the greatest extent, the headquarters used the strongest confidentiality measures in history for this year’s Spring Festival Gala. They even released news at the beginning of the year that if anyone leaked the details of the Spring Festival Gala, they would receive a legal complaint from the headquarters.
At this moment, even the paparazzi in the entertainment industry did not dare to follow and report on the Spring Festival Gala. Even if they heard anything, they did not dare to spread it.
When Xia Wanyuan arrived backstage, the executive director and producer were very happy to see her.
It was too difficult to satisfy everyone of all ages and industries at the Spring Festival Gala. Over the years, the Spring Festival Gala had received more and more complaints, and the number of people watching had decreased year by year. When the executive director received this mission, he had lost a lot of hair.
Until Xia Wanyuan began to reveal her strength and her strong national appeal.
Xia Wanyuan could sing and dance. Not only was she liked by the literary world, but she was also loved by the general public. She had many fans in the entertainment industry. Outside the entertainment industry, she had reaped countless middle-aged and old viewers through two popular dramas.
Most importantly, she was young enough,
There were many old artists who were known to the entire country at the Spring Festival Gala, but as the years passed, these old artists would also leave the stage one day. Xia Wanyuan’s appearance allowed the directors to see a highlight of this year’s gala.
Xia Wanyuan had never participated in such a grand gala. Although the training was very difficult, Xia Wanyuan’s mental state had always been very good. She was very cooperative with the rehearsal of the gala. The executive director and producer nodded repeatedly as they watched from the side.
The entire gala took five hours.
The preparations for filming, the makeup and clothes of thousands of people, the adjustments of various lighting equipment, the host’s appearance, the connection of the show, and so on.
The location and time of each event were strictly fixed. The Spring Festival Gala was a live broadcast and no mistakes were allowed.
Xia Wanyuan arrived at the building at eight in the morning and only came out at eleven at night.
After working the entire day in a full state of mind, Xia Wanyuan looked a little haggard when she got into the car.
Jun Shiling’s heart ached, but he knew that Xia Wanyuan liked to participate in this gala, so in the end, he did not say anything to stop her.
The next day, Xia Wanyuan had just woken up when she received another call from Chen Yun.
Strawberry TV Station wanted to invite Xia Wanyuan to the New Year’s Eve gala.
“New Year countdown?” Xia Wanyuan actually did not quite understand the meaning of this word. After all, in her previous life, they only celebrated the Lunar New Year and did not have the modern New Year’s Eve.
However, gradually, after Chen Yun’s explanation, Xia Wanyuan understood a little.
She remembered that she had come into contact with Strawberry TV Station when she first came to the modern world.
“Okay.” Xia Wanyuan agreed.
“The television station said that you can use an original song. Which one do you want to use?”
Xia Wanyuan thought for a moment. “I’ll think about it. Can I give you an answer tomorrow?”
Chen Yun nodded decisively. “Of course.”
However, Xia Wanyuan’s consideration was actually because she wanted to “write one now.”
It had been a long time since Xia Wanyuan had released a new song. Back then, Wan Yi’s album still firmly occupied the top spot on the sales rankings, leaving the second place far behind.
Xia Wanyuan was thinking about the inspiration for her new song when the bedroom door was pushed open. Xiao Bao, wearing a thick down jacket and a little dinosaur hat, barged in. “Mommy, let’s go out and build a snowman together.”
