Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 723 Formal Prelude
Six o'clock in the evening.

As night fell, the Weibo Night event venue was decorated with dazzling lights, like a dreamy star kingdom.

As the long-awaited moment finally arrived, the atmosphere on the scene reached a boiling point, and the audience's heartbeats seemed to be beating in sync with the rhythmic background music.

Amidst warm applause and cheers, the lights on both sides of the stage suddenly went out, and the entire venue fell into a brief darkness, leaving only a circle of soft spotlights on the stage.

Immediately afterwards, passionate music sounded, and a golden light split from the center of the stage. The hosts Hua Shao and Li Ai appeared hand in hand in the light and walked slowly to the front of the stage together.

Hua Shao wore a finely tailored dark suit with a unique brooch on his collar, showing his elegant demeanor.

Li Ai appeared in a beautiful dress with the hem of her skirt blooming like flowers, and her every move exuded the intellectual charm of a feminine woman.

The two stood at the front of the stage, facing the enthusiastic crowd, with appropriate smiles on their faces.

"Dear friends, welcome to the 2018 Weibo Night event!"

Hua Shao's voice was loud and magnetic, echoing in the air. "Tonight, elites from all walks of life will gather here to witness this exciting moment together."

“Not only will we see many stars make stunning appearances, but we will also share the heart-touching stories of the past year.”

……

The two of them cooperated with each other seamlessly and delivered the opening remarks in tacit understanding.

"Dear audience friends and guests, please take your seats as soon as possible. Our event will begin soon. Thank you."

“Next, we would like to invite the popular group NINE PERCENT to bring us the opening performance, “Innovators!”.

"welcome!"

With the brief and wonderful opening remarks by Hua Shao and Li Ai, the first performance stage of Weibo Night came and this grand ceremony officially kicked off.

Hua Shao and Li Ai slowly walked to the side of the stage, and a burst of expectant applause immediately broke out from the audience.

You can hear many voices shouting "Cai Xukun" and "NINE PERCENT", among which there are obviously more voices shouting Cai Xukun, as if he alone represents the entire group.

The Weibo Night event site, shrouded in darkness, was like a starry galaxy, with countless glow sticks shining brightly, making the entire scene seem like a dream.

In an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement, the lights on the stage suddenly went out, leaving only a strong beam of light shining directly into the sky, indicating that the NINE PERCENT group was about to appear on stage.

As a burst of exciting electronic music sounded, the ground began to shake, as if the heartbeat of the earth also accelerated. Nine members dressed in futuristic performance costumes slowly rose from all sides of the stage, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the audience.

Their clothing designs combine technological elements with fashion trends, and every detail shows their unique personality.

“This is our moment!”

As the captain, Cai Xukun's voice spread to every corner of the venue through the sound system. As soon as he finished speaking, the powerful background music of the song "Innovator" resounded throughout the venue.

The music rhythm is strong and infectious. Along with the melody, the members of NINE PERCENT began their carefully choreographed dance performance.

Every movement is precise and every wave is full of power.

As for the singing...

Lin Li, who was sitting in the front row of the guest area, and Jack Ma, who was sitting next to him, smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

Ok……

Just listen to the rhythm.

In the audience, fans’ screams resounded through the sky, cell phone flashes were like stars, and waving arms formed a sea of ​​passion.

Young men and women swayed gently to the beat of the music, constantly shouting the names of their idols, and were completely immersed in the warm atmosphere.

Some calm audience members were also infected by the atmosphere. Although they couldn't hear the lyrics clearly, they couldn't help but nod along with the rhythm.

The guest seats were equally lively. The celebrity guests stopped talking and watched the performance on the stage intently.

Of course, the main reason was that it was difficult to hear what was being said due to the noise at the scene.

Some guests who love fun were quite excited and took out their mobile phones to start recording.

Some guests were infected by the atmosphere and hummed or beat the rhythm to the music.

For example, Rocket Girls and the girls in Hanoi.

Bai Lu and Cheng Xiao were also swaying their bodies gently to the rhythm. They both know how to dance. Cheng Xiao is also the dance instructor for Cai Xukun and others on the stage.

"Teacher Cheng Xiao, what do you think of their performance?"

Bai Lu shouted to Cheng Xiao amid the lively background music. Her eyes were full of smiles, and she had obviously watched Idol Producer.

“Not enough practice!”

Cheng Xiao rolled his eyes at her, then responded loudly, starting with his own joke.

"Hahaha……"

The egret immediately opened its mouth and showed its signature smile.

That bloody mouth, which didn't care about its image at all, seemed to be able to swallow a person's fist in one gulp.

Cheng Xiao covered his mouth when he saw this, and bent over with laughter.

Bai Lu of course refused and raised his hand to hold her waist again, and the two of them soon started to quarrel again.

On the stage, the performances of Cai Xukun and others are still going on.

When the last note fell, the lights on the stage gradually dimmed, but the warm atmosphere on the scene did not diminish at all. The NINE PERCENT group brought a good opening show to the ceremony.

The nine people bowed together, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause and cheers.

Lin Li and Jack Ma also clapped their hands gently in front of the camera, expressing their small intention.

Soon, the nine people walked off the stage one after another through the sides, and Hua Shao and Li Ai walked to the center of the stage again.

"Thank you! Please applaud and cheer for NINE PERCENT. Thank you. Please take your seats and continue watching the ceremony. Thank you for your hard work."

Holding the microphone, Hua Shao first expressed his gratitude to Cai Xukun and others who had just performed.

"Good evening, friends at the event and friends watching the live broadcast. Welcome to Weibo Night 2018."

"Here, I would like to first thank the event's title sponsor OPPO camera phone, special sponsor Biostime with French quality certification, and Weibo's strategic cooperation platform Miaopai for their strong support for this event."

Hua Shao is indeed a quick-talker. After thanking Cai Xukun and others, he started to talk quickly again, thanking the sponsors without taking a breath.

"Hello everyone, I am today's host Li Ai. Welcome all the guests. At the same time, I would like to thank the official live broadcast platforms - Yizhibo, Penguin Video, Kiwi, Pants and Migu Video for their strong support for this event."

Li Ai then expressed her gratitude to several joint online live broadcast platforms.

Next, the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, praising the impact of Weibo on the Internet over the past 20 years. They also played a VCR video, which made Lin Li in the audience drowsy. After about ten minutes, the ceremony finally got to the point.

In fact, it was not just Lin Li, the entire guest audience couldn't stand this kind of long-winded formality, but they were afraid of being scanned by the live camera, so they could only force themselves to keep smiling.

"First, we will announce the 2018 "Weibo's Most Influential Event of the Year". Please watch the VCR!"

With Li Ai's introduction, tonight's award ceremony officially began.

After a VCR video played, Li Ai turned her gaze to the audience.

"Next, let us welcome the honorary representatives to the stage with warm applause. They are Lin Yu, Director of the Publicity Division of the Publicity and Education Department of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment."

"Zhao Shiyu, deputy director of the Chengdu Big Data and E-Government Management Office, Huang Guibin, director of the Publicity Department of the Yangcheng Transportation Committee, and Wang Quanjun, staff officer of the Publicity Department of the Fire and Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management, please welcome everyone."

"At the same time, please invite the President of the Intellectual Property Tribunal, Mr. Song Xiaoming, and the Senior Vice President of Sina.com, Mr. Deng Qingxu, to come on stage to present this honor. Please come on stage."

Li Ai looked at the faces in the front row of the guest area and put on her most appropriate smile.

"Welcome, both of you. Please invite the two honorees to our stage."

Hua Shao followed closely and repeated it to the two award presenters in the audience.

As their voices fell, several figures in the front row of the guest area stood up one after another.

The audience reacted lukewarmly, but the guest area responded enthusiastically, with many applauding.

Lin Li and Ma Yun also clapped their hands gently and looked at them with smiles.

These people are representatives of various parties, so they still have to do some superficial work.

Subsequently, two more rounds of similar awards were given out.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

After most of the people in the front row of the guest area had received their honors, the celebrity guests at the scene finally became excited.

Next, it is the entertainment industry’s home ground.
