The next day, Pei Wanchu opened his eyes at dawn, opened the curtains and took a look, the sky and the earth were gray, there was no sun and no snowflakes.

Another depressing cloudy day.

In the bathroom, he looked in the mirror and pulled at the hair that hadn't been cut for more than four months. It was so long, if it was photographed by the media at night, would it affect the impression?

On the one hand, he was annoyed that he hadn't thought of it earlier, and on the other hand, he took out his mobile phone, checked the neighborhood and asked Bai Hao, hoping to find a good manager and hairdresser to take care of his image.

He didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he took out the suit and shirt that he sent to be ironed yesterday, and prepared his outfit for the evening, thinking in his heart that if Bai Hao's place was unreliable, which one nearby should he try.

Bai Hao quickly sent him an address, saying that he was his family's queen hairstylist, who was good at hairstyles for both men and women, and that the address was near his home, and he had already made an appointment for him.

I'm off today, and when I heard about this, I'll come to the store at ten o'clock to take care of Pei Wanchu's style.

The red carpet started at five o'clock in the afternoon, and the awards ceremony started at seven o'clock. He estimated that it was about the same time when he entered the venue.

He contacted Lu You, and the other party said he was a little busy and came to see him at noon, so he could only go to the hairdressing salon with his admission pass.

In the early morning, there were no customers in the store except the clerk on the morning shift. After he reported his home, a tall 1.8-meter tall man with handsome features, fair skin, wearing a shirt and trousers, dark brown hair, well-groomed came out. Meticulous young man.

Looking at the temperament and image, it is indeed different from those fancy hairdressers.

Pei Wanchu felt relieved: "It's hard work for you to rest and come here, I will trouble you today."

The barber smiled: "Today is Director Pei's big day, so I must make you look radiant."

He followed the barber to the inner cubicle, and communicated in detail about the length of the hairstyle. Pei Wanchu had learned the lesson from the last time, so he didn't dare to let go and talk about his feelings, and he decided with the barber about the length of the hair...

"I think you can dye your hair. You guys in the entertainment industry still want fashion. Of course, I know you're conservative, so I won't give you too bright a color."

Is there any hair dye that is not gorgeous, dyed black?Pei Wanchu was puzzled...

"Now there is a photosensitive hair dye. Our indoor ordinary light will not show color. The stronger the outdoor sunlight, the more obvious the color. In this way, in some offices and other occasions, the hair still looks black. After all, if you have a good hair color, you will also have a good mood."

"Okay." Pei Wanchu decided to give it a try. Since he is the Queen's hairstylist of the Bai family, and even a picky person like Bai Dong can handle it, he believes that this hairstylist's level is still acceptable.

Washing hair, combing hair, applying the first color fader, and then the second color fader, Pei Wanchu never knew that doing hair can take so long...

Lunch has not yet entered the posture of the topic.

"I'm leaving at six o'clock in the afternoon?" Pei Wanchu was a little flustered...

"It's too late, it will be over after four o'clock, trust me." The barber patted him on the shoulder.

After Lu You contacted him at 12:[-], he came to the hairdressing salon.

Still carrying a backpack and a camera hanging on his chest, I saw him habitually holding up the camera.

Pei Wanchu quickly reached out to cover the camera.

"If you don't mind, if you win awards tonight, I can post a set, the daily life of the award-winning director at the World Film Festival."

Pei Wanchu immediately withdrew his hand, just treat him as a superstition: "Then you take better pictures, and then you will have more hair."

Lu You shot as soon as he said he would, and followed Pei Wanchu closely all afternoon to shoot. After four o'clock in the afternoon, the barber took off his apron.

"Okay, are you satisfied?"

Pei Wanchu looked at himself in the glasses. His hair was still black and he couldn't see the color, but he was very satisfied with the hairstyle. It was no longer a little bit of length, but had a shape, which made his facial features more three-dimensional. , the obvious contours of his face completely disappeared the trace of femininity left in his temperament by years of long hair.

Not reborn, at least radiant.

"Very satisfied, thank you."

Pei Wanchu walked out of the barbershop with Lu You wrapped in a down jacket, and Lu You pointed at his clothes: "Are you going back to change?"

"Yes, my house is nearby. Are you going to the awards ceremony now? The red carpet show starts at five o'clock, and you can go now just in time."

Lu You patted the camera: "I still want to continue filming the award-winning director's day, why don't I wait for you, you change your clothes and we go there together."

Lu You drove the car and stopped at the entrance of Pei Wanchu's community. Pei Wanchu went home and took a quick shower and changed into the suit and shirt he bought in country A. After he was discharged from the hospital, he was not busy with work, followed the doctor's advice on his diet, and finally gained a few catties , the modified size fits just right.

He moved his limbs, neither tight nor loose, quickly put on the cashmere coat he bought some time ago, and hurried out of the house.

From entering the room to leaving, he didn't take a good look in the mirror once.

It was close to six o'clock, the sky was gray and the wind was getting stronger. He gathered his clothes and got into the car.

"I think it's right for me not to walk the red carpet, it's so fucking cold..."

The live broadcast of the film festival was playing on Lu You's mobile phone. Those glamorous female stars were wearing backless and chest-length gowns. Pei Wanchu couldn't help but hugged herself tightly.

One kilometer away from the National Convention Center, the main venue of the film festival, traffic jams began. The two of them dallyed in the car and arrived at the parking lot. It was already past seven o'clock. .

Lu You held up his camera and followed Pei Wanchu all the way to take pictures. The two entered the main venue. Lu You said to go around by himself and told Pei Wanchu to leave him alone.

The two separated.

Pei Wanchu stooped to find his seat. The opening performance had just started, and their seats were near the front row. He looked at the three people beside him. Bai Hao was wearing a milky white suit, Gu Xiaosu was wearing a royal blue suit, and Lu Zhi was wearing a black suit. Very formal.

The Jincui Film Festival awarded many awards, so there were not too many performances interspersed. Bai Hao applied for eight projects and was shortlisted for four.

"Our chances of winning the prize are quite high, I count..."

"Xiaobai, I remember when you were in college, you weren't that bad at math, right? How did you do the math?" Pei Wanchu laughed, 6 films were nominated for each award, how did Bai Hao figure out that the chances of winning the prize were high.

"I... I asked the master to calculate it, the one who calculated the boot time for us last time."

The risk of the master being smashed has increased by a few percent...

"The next thing we are about to announce is the Best Screenplay Award. Allow me to be a little selfish. One of the six nominated films is a completely domestic film. We put him in the first place." The host's tone was passionate, triggering There was a new round of applause.

Amid the applause, the headlights in the venue dimmed, and the sound of children reading aloud resounded.

"Ao can't be long. Desire can't be followed. Aspirations can't be fulfilled. Joy can't be extreme. A sage loves and respects him. Fears him and loves him. Loves him and knows his evil. He who hates him knows his good. Accumulates and then he dissipates. Peace and security makes him move. When facing wealth, don’t try to get it. When facing difficulty, don’t try to avoid it. When it’s very difficult, don’t seek victory. When you divide, don’t seek more. When in doubt, don’t ask for quality.

When the camera backs up, the classrooms made of cement bricks become smaller, and nearby dilapidated cottages, desolate mountains, and dusty dirt roads come into view.

"It's very poor here, and the most expensive car I've ever seen is a small bread for delivery. The express delivery here is not fast, and the expressway is blocked, but I still stay here without hesitation. Because these pairs of pure eyes are full of longing and longing. I hope that my stop and stay can bring more children out of the mountains."

Gu Xiaosu's clean and clear voice formed a strong contrast with the dilapidated scene on the screen.

This is a film that is different from the previous award-winning films with flying special effects and shocking sound effects.There is no soundtrack, and the scene is dilapidated and old, with mottled classrooms and ragged children. The scene is getting quieter and quieter. This quietness was not broken until the third nominated sci-fi movie was broadcast.

After the six nominated clips were broadcast, Bai Hao and Pei Wanchu held hands together, sweat intertwined in their palms.

The host held the golden envelope in his hand but didn't rush to open it, but raised it in the air.

"Tell me out loud who you want to win."

There was a neat voice in the venue: "Pei Wanchu."

At this time, all discord and jealousy can be put aside for the time being. At this moment, what they hope is a film made and created in their own country, which will go out of the country and go to the world...

"Okay, let's see if we can do it."

The host opened the envelope halfway and stuffed it back. She held up the microphone and said softly, "I saw a letter that wasn't P..."

There was a sigh of regret in the venue, and Bai Hao grabbed Pei Wanchu's hand. Pei Wanchu has lived abroad for many years and has a formal English name, not Chinese pinyin, so it's not that P can't mean that he was defeated, but it's like the host's suspicion.

The host drew out the answer and raised one hand above his head.

"The best screenwriter award at the Jincui Film Festival is "Mountain" Pei Wanchu."

The audience applauded thunderously, and the live barrage was crazy. At this moment, Pei Wanchu was not the director of the unspoken actor, he was not the mistress of the beneficiary, and he was not an unknown person who overestimated his abilities and wanted to compete with the top entertainment circle.

He is the director who won the first screenwriting award at the World Film Festival.

The live camera focused on their seats, Pei Wanchu still sat there in a daze and couldn't believe his ears, Bai Hao stood up and hugged him excitedly, Lu Zhi and Gu Xiaosuqi started to pull his coat.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Pei Wanchu tugged at his collar.

"Brother, take off your clothes and go on stage to accept the award!"

The applause continued, and Pei Wanchu strode towards the stage while the audience was watching.

The spotlight hit him, and the silver-gray suit shone like a suit of armor.

He walked onto the stage non-stop, entering the high-brightness stage from the dark, and unconsciously raised his hand to block the glare of the light.

"Ou~" The host exclaimed.

Everyone in the audience, including Bai Hao, was taken aback when they saw Pei Wanchu's hair.

The live barrage was dominated by the word "hair"...

"Fuck me, what does this mean, Director Pei?"

"How dare he!"

"6666, I'm calling you a good guy."

……

Standing on the stage, Pei Wanchu, who was dazzled by the nervousness and surprise, knew nothing about the words in the audience and on the Internet.

He took the trophy mechanically, and kept saying thank you to everyone, until the hostess, the hostess of the awards, left the stage, and the host guided him to the stage and handed him the microphone. He was still in a state of ignorance.

"Sorry, I didn't prepare my acceptance speech, it was too much of a surprise for me, even a little frightened like a dream."

The author has something to say:

"Ao can't be long. Desire can't be followed. Aspirations can't be fulfilled. Joy can't be extreme. A sage loves and respects him. Fears him and loves him. Loves him and knows his evil. He who hates him knows his good. Accumulates and then he dissipates. Peace and security makes him move. When faced with wealth, don’t try to get it. When faced with difficulty, don’t try to avoid it. When it’s very difficult, don’t seek victory. When you divide, don’t seek more. When in doubt, don’t ask for quality. Don’t have it when it’s straight.”
