Chapter 422 Golden Eagle Award, Golden Eagle Goddess Jing Tian!

Military barracks, film set

Here at the army aviation camp, numerous helicopters are parked around—some for transport, some for armed missions, and some for general use.

This is a genuine military restricted area; entry is only permitted with permission.
In the "Wolf Warrior" crew, only Qi Hui, Wu Jing, and one cinematographer were allowed to enter the filming area.

The scene is actually quite simple: the protagonist, Leng Feng, is hoisted by a helicopter, taken to Wolf Warrior territory, joins the team, and there's the part where he argues with the vice-captain.
Wu Jing had a clever idea: instead of putting people in the cabin of a transport helicopter, he suspended them directly below and carried them out the whole way.
"Qi Hui, cheer up and try to pass it in one go!" Wu Jing clapped his hands and said solemnly.

A helicopter flight consumes a lot of aviation kerosene!

The military didn't ask him for the money, but it was precisely because the military didn't ask him for the money that he was so serious.

If it were about money, he wouldn't have done this even if there were mistakes or retakes.
Qi Hui nodded, naturally understanding.
He immediately straightened his military uniform and, with the help of military personnel, fastened his seatbelt.

Under Wu Jing's direction, the photographer took pictures as required, and with everything ready, the helicopter took off, carrying Qi Hui into the sky.
Wu Jing and the photographer also boarded another helicopter to photograph Qi Hui from the air.

However, there was one more NG (no good) in the air, but fortunately, it didn't require landing. The pilot just had to circle around, and then Qi Hui could try again.
More than ten minutes later, at the film set in the wilderness, at the landing site
Qi Hui landed, and Wu Jing and the photographer from the other plane also landed.
Of course, there were also two officers from the military; they wanted to see what they had filmed.

The footage can only be returned to the production team after confirming that it contains no classified information.
Half a day later, at the film crew's residence
The two officers returned the materials, signaled to Wu Jing that it was done, and turned to leave.

Wu Jing stood up, looked at the crew members around him, clapped his hands, picked up a megaphone and shouted:

"Everyone, we've wrapped up filming!"

With a shout, cheers erupted immediately.
After working so hard for so long, we've finally wrapped up filming!

"Get some rest! We've got a barbecue tonight, all the best food and drinks!" Wu Jing continued, eliciting another round of cheers.

Finally, I can relax and enjoy a big meal!

On the other side, Qi Hui also smiled; it was finally over.
Unfortunately, the guys in charge of weapons at the military base had already gone back, so they couldn't join the wrap party.
At night, the lights inside the film crew's residence were brightly lit. The professional lighting technicians' arrangements ensured that every part of the residence received bright yet non-glaring lighting.

In the open space, smoke billowed from the grills, mingling with the enticing aromas of oil and cumin, while crates of ice-cold beer were delivered along with them.
Industrial light beer, you can drink as much as you want without getting drunk, so drink with confidence!
……

The next day

"Leaving so soon?" Wu Jing drank water, rinsing his mouth from time to time. He had drunk a bit too much last night... actually, he had vomited a bit too much.

"The Golden Eagle Awards the day after tomorrow," Qi Hui said with a shrug.

The Golden Eagle Goddess has been confirmed; it will be Jing Tian.

In the past two weeks, Jing Tian has made several trips to the rehearsals for Hunan TV.

Upon hearing this, Wu Jing also remembered, and immediately gasped, filled with envy.
The Golden Eagle Award is the least prestigious of the three major awards for television dramas.

Even if it's the least prestigious, it's still one of the three major awards!
Wu Jing was extremely envious.
Although he hasn't filmed any TV dramas since "Special Forces: Sharp Blade", he still wants to win awards!
He has acted in many TV series before, but he has never won an award for any of them!
"What kind of award did this bring?" Wu Jing asked sourly.

"Best Actor in an Art Award." Qi Hui shrugged and said casually:
"Actually, that's not the point. The point is that my Jing Tian has been crowned the Golden Eagle Goddess."

"Hiss hiss hiss—!" Wu Jing gasped, filled with envy.
The Golden Eagle Goddess title is no small feat; it represents a woman's popularity and commercial value, and is typically filled by a rising star who is young, beautiful, and highly popular.
The first Golden Eagle Goddess was the famous Liu Yifei.
Later, there were Li Xiaolu, Wang Luodan, Liu Sisi, Tang Yan, and others.
It is said that Yang Mi asked for the Golden Eagle Goddess title several times but was unsuccessful.

But her close friends, such as Liu Sisi and Tang Yan, have been awarded titles one after another.
Even Dilraba Dilmurat, an artist in her company, later received this honor.
Hmm... I wonder what Yang Mi thinks. She probably isn't in a very good mood.

After finishing his business, Qi Hui quickly packed his things, shouldered his military backpack, and headed to the airport.
He also stole a military backpack!

...Airport VIP Lounge

With some time still before boarding, Qi Hui pulled out his notebook and continued working on the storyboards and panel layouts for "The Vanished Woman".
The production team, led by Xiao Yang, is already in the initial stages of preparation, and the lead actor, Qi Hui, has been confirmed.

Qi Hui contacted Hainan Province, and they were willing to provide some policy support.

The relevant venue fees can be reduced to a certain extent.

that's nice!

It's not too late for Qi Hui to seek investment after the Golden Eagle Awards.

Compared to the original, Qi Hui's "The Vanished She" had a lower budget; it was simply a suspense film.
The original Chen Sicheng version lacked animal metaphors, red and blue lighting effects, and intense action scenes and car chases.

This is a pure suspense film that emphasizes the sweet and happy love story, the kind of movie that will leave you with a sweet dream.
Well, yes, that’s it!
About half an hour later, it was time to board. Qi Hui boarded the plane and headed towards Hunan Province.
In Changsha, Jing Tian has arrived and is currently undergoing final rehearsals.
In addition to the Golden Eagle Goddess award, Qi Hui, on Director Wang's advice, also nominated her for the Best Popular Actress award, hoping she would win.

……

Imperial Capital
After packing her luggage and putting on makeup, Yang Mi transformed back into the glamorous and popular internet celebrity she always was.

She's also going to participate in the Golden Eagle Awards.

As for the children, my mother and the nanny will have to take care of them.
Despite having given birth, Yang Mi's figure hasn't changed; she's slightly fuller, but it doesn't affect her appearance.

Compared to the mischievous and clever girl she used to be, this has given her a more mature and elegant charm.
"Mimi, you're married with children now, there's no need to work so hard, is there?" Yang's mother frowned slightly and couldn't help but say.

She knew her daughter was career-oriented, but now that she was married, it was time for a change.
"You don't understand," Yang Mi shook her head and said, "In the entertainment industry, if you don't move forward, you fall behind. If you don't work hard, you'll never be the best."

She didn't want to be just an actress like before, at the mercy of those company executives.
She longed to be like Qi Hui, able to engage in equal dialogue with those company executives.
Without control of the means of production, one will always be exploited by capitalists.
With that, Yang Mi and her assistant pushed open the door and left, while simultaneously calling Liu Kaiwei, who was working out of town.

Upon hearing this news, Liu Kaiwei was somewhat upset. He was a bit of a chauvinist and didn't want Yang Mi to appear in public.

But... unfortunately, his career wasn't as successful as Yang Mi's, so he wasn't in a position to advise her to stay home and be a wife and mother.
……

Hunan Province, Changsha

Hotels
Jing Tian, ​​her assistant, and makeup artist returned to their hotel room after rehearsals.

The makeup artist helped her remove her makeup little by little, mainly removing the Golden Eagle Goddess costume.

This crown and this dress certainly look beautiful, but they're not exactly comfortable to wear.
Qi Hui knocked on the door and slowly walked in.

The assistant and makeup artist both knew about Qi Hui and Jing Tian's relationship, but they kept quiet and acted as if nothing had happened.

"Is it pretty?" Jing Tian waved her hand and greeted her.
"Ah, how beautiful!" Qi Hui's first words were in the elegant Tang Dynasty style:

"This hairstyle is so trendy!"

"Hahaha..." Jing Tian was amused by him; his Shaanxi dialect had a certain charm about it.

My book doesn't have a harem element. I do consider your suggestions, but I'm very cautious about changes to the outline or direction.
