So red that everything is black

Chapter 18 Light Red (Sixteen)
The next day, the stage for the awards ceremony was set up.

In the dressing room, the costume designer brought a mobile clothes rack. The black clothes rack was full of dresses for the finalists to choose from.

Wen Xinlan felt that everything on the black hanger was ordinary, so she pointed to a skirt on a gold hanger in the distance and asked, "Can I choose that one?"

The costume teacher took a breath and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I'm sorry, the next few items are D-brand high-end products. The brand only allows them to be loaned to award-winning guests. You'd better choose one from the black clothes rack in the front row!"

It turns out that not everyone is qualified to wear high-end luxury goods.

Wen Xinlan felt a little regretful and silently chose an ordinary red dress.

The backstage trial installation was completed, and after the chief director repeatedly checked the process, everything was ready.

Although it is an "award show", the program was actually recorded in the afternoon.

As soon as afternoon passed, the audience began to enter the venue one after another.

At this time, two men in suits and leather shoes came, followed by a large group of staff.

The leaders are Li Bing, the president of Wanfeng Reading, and Wei Qingkuan, the president of Menlei Culture.

Li Bing asked: "Mr. Wei, Guifu also has two unsigned works in Menglai, right? What do you plan to do with them?"

Wei Qingkuan said calmly: "The works on our website naturally need to be re-signed. What do you think, Mr. Li?"

"That's natural! But YCEC's legal department... always refuses in-depth cooperation because Guifu signed in Wenyuan Pavilion!"

"I heard that Mr. Li sent someone to buy the copyright of this future star's first movie at a low price early. He is really far-sighted!"

"Mr. Wei is joking! We Wanfeng didn't get any advantage in the end, we just kept our own copyright."

"When will the new adapted drama be released?"

"I should be able to go to school in autumn. I would like to ask Mr. Wei for more guidance then!"

"Congratulations in advance, Mr. Li! We will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future!"

"sure!"

After entering the studio, Wenyuange President Mu Gui personally greeted the two.

"Welcome Mr. Wei! Welcome Mr. Li! It's really brilliant!"

Wei Qingkuan shook hands with Mu Gui: "I heard that Mr. Mu's program was very successful. Mr. Li and I also came to watch and learn."

"Where is it? If there are any shortcomings, please give me some advice from Mr. Wei."

"Wenyuange under the leadership of Mr. Mu is an industry leader. We still need to learn more from you in areas such as code research and development and IP development!"

Li Bing agreed: "Yes, we also need to learn how to discover potential customers!"

"Don't you dare, come on, come on, Mr. Wei and Mr. Li are here, please!" Mu Gui personally sent Wei Qingkuan and Li Bing to the first row of seats.

Later, Pei Sheng, the main director of the Haicheng Writers Alliance, and his son Pei Yuan arrived and sat in the first row with Li and Wei.

The guests have almost arrived, and the contestants are waiting backstage to enter.

Wen Xinlan glanced at the group of entrepreneurs in suits and ties below the stage through the gap in the curtain.

Each of them is a powerful person in the entertainment industry and a future financial backer.

Wen Xinlan straightened her demeanor and silently encouraged herself, thinking that she must not be embarrassed and must leave a good impression on her future partners.

Under the shining lights, Mu Gui, the president of Wenyuan Pavilion, was the first to appear.

"Hello, fellow authors, fellow readers, and fellow readers! I am Mu Gui, the editor-in-chief of Wenyuan Pavilion. I am very happy to share a wonderful journey with you today and discuss the future of the development of online literature.

First of all, on behalf of Wenyuange, I would like to express my warm congratulations to the winners this time!And I would like to express my high respect to all participating writers! "

The audience applauded warmly!

"With the establishment of portals in the 90s, online literature began to sprout. After entering the year 2000, the online literature market entered a period of great change, and online literature thrived. Ten years later, the development of online literature entered a golden period, with many excellent works emerging. He even started to go abroad and go to the world.

We, Wenyuange alone, have 500 million registered writers.Including Meng Lei Culture and Wanfeng Reading who are here today, the total number of writers on our three websites exceeds [-] million.

While running at high speed, I couldn't help but stop and appreciate the scenery I missed on the roadside, and think about what we had overlooked.

For many years, we seem to have only seen the glory of top writers, but never paid attention to the hardships of writers at the bottom.

Wenyuange is a responsible enterprise.While we are operating and developing, we have not forgotten the millions of ordinary writers who write silently.

Therefore, we have opened an advanced class to enable new writers to learn writing skills as quickly as possible.We have increased the amount of perfect attendance so that ordinary writers can benefit from it.We have also modified the signing contract to allow more outstanding writers to obtain copyright and livelihood protection.We have also added care projects so that every writer can feel the warmth of Wenyuan Pavilion.

This is also the original intention of organizing the program "Writing Youth".

Every writer participating in this competition has writing experience of more than one million words.

Perhaps their works are relatively niche and not recognized by the mainstream.Perhaps their works are more offbeat and not favored by readers.Maybe their works are not good enough, but they never give up and keep fighting for their dreams. "Writing Youth" provides them with an opportunity to show themselves.

We hope that through this window, niche authors can find their own readers, unpopular works can innovate, and writers who are still confused can be given guidance and find their way out again.

I have been thinking about how we can do better so that we can be worthy of the millions of writers our company works with and worthy of this era.

I think we need to control the review process, promote healthy cultural trends, and avoid the corrosion of vulgar culture.Innovate management forms to open channels for more editors, writers, and readers to offer advice and suggestions.At the same time, we also learn more from the advanced experiences of our peers.

A few days ago, Mr. Wei from Meng Lei shared with me some experiences of the new writers section.My colleagues in the editorial department and I decided to launch a list of new writers in Wenyuan Pavilion.This list is only for new writers, and the purpose is to give new writers a stage to stand out.

Finally, please allow me to apologize.This event was held in a hurry. If there are any inaccuracies, please criticize and correct them.

May we have a better online world together!thank you all! "

The audience applauded warmly.

Later, the platinum goddess Guoguo presented the award to the third runner-up knife.

Wen Xinlan was a little unfamiliar with the third runner-up.

The writer named Xiaodao did not leave a deep impression on her in the show.On the contrary, several other writers felt amazing, but unfortunately they did not receive good rankings.

Xiaodao held the trophy and gave an acceptance speech.

After finishing speaking, Xiaodao shouted from the air: "I want to say something to my competitors - Guifu, I will definitely surpass you in the future!"

Wen Xinlan was confused after hearing this.

The director shouted: "Teacher Guifu accepts the challenge! We are recording the show!"

The camera turned to Wen Xinlan.

Wen Xinlan made an aiming movement by mistake, "I'm waiting for you to fight!"

More enthusiastic applause came from the audience.

Then, the ancient god will award the runner-up Qiang Gen today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

Today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I raised the microphone and said sadly: “I haven’t come out for a long time, maybe everyone has forgotten who I am.

Let me introduce myself first. My name is Today, Tomorrow and The Day After Tomorrow. I am one of the first people to try writing online articles after the Internet became available in the 90s.

After decades of prosperity and growth, online writing has developed into something I could never imagine.

But some memories seemed like just yesterday. I vaguely saw my own shadow on the wall.

I used to be as quiet as Qiangen.Every day I huddle up in front of the keyboard and silently type one word after another, 100 million words, 1000 million words...

In fact, I know that it is difficult to change my works into commercial IP, but I never give up.

I also hope that everyone will not give up.

There is still a long way to go in the future of online writing, and there is a new and bright future that we can look forward to even more!

I hope everyone will strengthen their faith and continue to work hard! "

After saying that, he handed the trophy to Qiang Gen today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and encouraged him: "Qiang Gen, you have to work hard! I'm optimistic about you!"

"Thank you!" Qiang Gen took the trophy and raised the microphone to face the audience. "Back then, I decided to become an online novel writer after reading the works of the University of Science and Technology. Unfortunately, my writing path was quite bumpy and I never got the chance to do so. Readers’ recognition. Today, I am very grateful to the program team for giving me the opportunity to show my work. I will write more stories in the future, and everyone is welcome to comment!”

The audience applauded.

Mu Gui continued to invite Pei Sheng to present the award to the champion.

Pei Sheng, wearing a modified modern Hanfu, stepped onto the stage vigorously and said into the microphone: "Hello everyone! As the main director of the Haicheng Writers Alliance, I also feel a lot of emotion today.

Those old comrades often advised me to go out more often, saying that earth-shaking changes had taken place in the field of new literature.

Yes, times have changed.

The patterns, forms, and styles of new literature have also changed.

The writing path of contemporary writers is no easier than that of our older generation.

Especially after hearing the stories of these contestants recently, I admire the persistence and perseverance of these young people even more.

The literature of every era has new ways of writing.

I hope that everyone should have a respectful heart to learn from their predecessors, and more importantly, a competitive spirit to surpass their predecessors. We should have confidence and ambition, strengthen the courage to make breakthroughs, inherit the legacy of hundreds of generations, adapt to today's changes, and move towards a broader future. creative world.

"Writing Youth" is the first program in the literary world to showcase the style of a writer.I am honored to present the award to the winner of the show, Ms. Gui Fu. I would like to invite the writer Gui Fu! "

Wen Xinlan straightened her clothes and confidently walked to the stage to receive the trophy, "Thank you, Director Pei!"
