Chapter 60

The two of them chatted like no one else for a long time, and the guests at this table were long overdue. Except for Zheng Yunbin, who had met before, there were also several senior industry seniors who were meeting for the first time. Jiang Liushen brought Xia Xiai politely. Greeted angrily, and after a circle, felt that network had doubled.

At 8:00 sharp, the live broadcast of the dinner officially started.

Li Luo, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared again, and sat down on the seat beside Jiang Liushen, his eyes fell on the dining table unfocused, but his heart seemed not to be here, and he looked a little lost.

Jiang Liushen was about to clean him up when he suddenly heard the host announce Duan Mingyang's name.

As one of the leaders of the organizer of the banquet, Duan Mingyang was sitting at the main table in the middle of the first row. At this moment, he was standing up to receive applause from everyone. He glanced at their table intentionally or unintentionally as he sat down.

Jiang Liushen temporarily put aside his personal grievances, patted Li Luo on the shoulder, and reassured: "It's okay, I'm here with my brother."

"Don't take advantage of me, I'm your father." Li Luo returned to his senses and scolded with a smile.

Xia Xiai didn't know about the festival between the two of them and Duan Mingyang, and there were outsiders nearby, so it was inconvenient to ask questions, so she had to temporarily suppress her doubts and listen to the host to continue the banquet process.

This dinner has ten awards to recognize the stars who have made outstanding contributions to charity this year. The performances of the guests are interspersed during the period, and the end is the theme fundraising.

Xia Xiai's performance came in third, and the content was to sing one of his ballad songs, which was arranged with piano accompaniment.

Before starting the performance, he looked down the stage and saw Jiang Liushen's encouraging gesture, and his heart was slightly warmed. Even knowing that there are countless people staring at his every move under the stage and behind the live broadcast at this moment, feel no fear.

He lifted his cuffs slightly, took a deep breath, pointed at the microphone while pressing the keys, and sang the first lyric in a clear voice.

Jiang Liushen listened intently under the stage, and beat on his legs with the rhythm. I don't know if it's because my love filter is too thick, or because Xia Xiai's hard training has really paid off. The penetrating power of this song is not a little bit higher than that at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner last year.

He took time to listen to all Xia Xiai's singles and covers, and found that most of the original songs Longxing made for him were popular songs of love and love. I've been in love, but haven't experienced the joys and sorrows of love. How can sing love songs out of soul?

In contrast, the self-selected songs that Xia Xiai sang in the draft competition were more moving.

Jiang Liushen remembered that the song he chose in the final was a ballad depicting the lives of people at the bottom. The song was like telling a story. The audience, not because of how gorgeous the skills are, but because of the endless power contained in the singing has to be impressed and admired.

However, this power was buried after the signing of Longxing. Fortunately, his potential has not been lost, and... he has become enlightened emotionally.

Jiang Liushen couldn't help but smile, a sense of accomplishment in polishing the jade.

Such a good boy will be his person from now on. But I'm still a little dissatisfied... If only he was one of his people before.

Why didn't we meet sooner.

"He's really a treasure." Li Luo's compliment pulled back his thoughts, "Even though he has suffered so many crimes, why does he still look like a young master who has been well-protected since he was a child and has never suffered a bit? "

Jiang Liushen stared at the stage and said with a smile, "I will make him more like him in the future."

After the performance of the song, the audience applauded enthusiastically. Xia Xiai stood up and bowed, returned to her seat, and asked Jiang Liushen nervously, "Can I sing well?"

"It's more than ok, it's just the sound of heaven."

"Don't brag, tell the truth."

"It's the truth. If you don't believe me, look at the online reviews." Jiang Liushen clicked on Weibo and searched for the instant content of the word "Xia Xiai".

[My mother, Xia Xiai, turned out to be the voice of heaven! ! ! ! I thought the fans were just kidding! ! ! ]

[#xiaxiai# The cub finally sings again woo woo woo how is it so good and even better than before! ! ! ! ]

[This is the beloved Xia Xiai during the draft that year! Don't take the traffic route again, please! ! ! ]

[Is this song adapted by Xia Xiai herself? ? Impressed! Road to powder! ]

Xia Xiai looked at his Weibo, which was full of praise, and felt a little more at ease, but he didn't dare to be too complacent: "There was a place where the tone was half a beat, but I'm still not skilled enough. I'll go back and practice again tonight."

"Okay, I'll accompany you." Jiang Liu said with a deep smile, "With such a diligent and motivated artist as you, my boss really makes a lot of money."

Xia Xiai glared at him and continued to perform with other guests in the stands.

The seventh award was awarded, the Annual Charity Rising Star Award. As usual, the host invited the presenters to the stage first. This time, it was Duan Mingyang's turn. He is dressed in a pure black and wide luxury suit, tall and dignified, with stern features, and his appearance is not inferior to the male stars under the stage. Xia Xiai heard a lot of people around him whispering, and Zheng Yunbin, who had a little understanding of the business world at the same table, also gossip:

"I heard that this guy on stage is very powerful. Not long after he returned to China, he pushed the eldest son of the Duan family out. Now he is about to become the leader of the Duan clan. He is still so young, and he looks like the same character."

Jiang Liushen snorted coldly: "But this is the reality, no, those who can squeeze Duan Xingye down are absolutely ruthless."

Xia Xiai was just about to ask for a clearer question when she suddenly heard Duan Mingyang's low and cold voice calling out his name.

"The winner of the Annual Charity Rising Star Award is - Xia Xiai."

Jiang Liushen's face darkened in an instant: "Don't go up, I'll go for you, just say your stomach hurts."

"..."

Of course, Xia Xiai couldn't let him be willful. Before Jiang Liushen could catch him, he strode onto the stage and made Jiang Liushen's teeth itch with anger.

Although the weight of this award is not as heavy as the music award, Xia Xiai is still very happy to be recognized in charity. The award-winning vcr broadcasted his construction of roads for his hometown in the past two years and explained the content and funds of hometown construction.

"Thank you to the judges for this award." He held the trophy and said, "Ashamed to say, I did this for my personal reasons at first, not like those true philanthropists, who are saviours in their arms. I will try my best to be worthy of this award in the future.”

The host asked: "Can you share with us the personal reasons?"

"Well, it's actually because of my parents." Xia Xiai looked at Shangjiang Liushen, and had the courage to recall the past, "I was born in the countryside. When I was very young, my parents came back late because they worked in the mountains. It was too dark, and I accidentally fell down... From then on, it was just me and my grandfather."

"Not only my parents, but every year there are accidents in the village because of the bumpy mountain roads, so I always hope to build a road for my hometown."

"After more than a year of hard work, a flat stone road was finally built on the mountain. But it's not enough. The plan for this year and next year is to add guardrails to the steeper and dangerous areas, and build a road from the village to the town. , so that the economy of my hometown can develop faster."

"So, I think I need to make some more money."

He made a rare joke, and after he finished speaking, the audience was silent.

Is the joke too cold... Xia Xiai thought nervously. Even Jiang Liushen, who had always cheered, didn't respond.

Two sounds of "pop" came from the side, and Duan Mingyang, who was on the side, took the lead in applauding.

Immediately afterwards, the guests under the stage came back to their senses, and the applause sounded, ranging from sparse to dense, and lasted for a long time.

Xia Xiai turned her head in the warm applause and thanked Duan Mingyang. Duan Mingyang nodded slightly and said, "You deserve this award."

Xia Xiai was slightly startled.

Duan Mingyang really doesn't look like a bad person... Why does Jiang Liushen hate him so much?

After returning to their seats, several people from other tables came over to comfort him. Most people in the entertainment industry wear masks of hypocrisy. It is rare to see such a simple and kind person. It is inevitable that they are a little moved, and even some people who are not very familiar come to encourage them.

Xia Xiai thanked them one by one, but turned around and found that Jiang Liushen's face was not very good-looking.

"What's wrong?"

"I actually let that Duan applaud first." Jiang Liu was deeply troubled. "He definitely didn't listen to what you said. I just listened too deeply and didn't react for a while."

Xia Xiai was amused and helpless: "How old are you? You still care about this."

"No matter how old I am, I will care about who is the first to applaud you. Even if we are in our 70s and 80s, we go to the square dance. When the music ends, I will be the first to applaud your beautiful dance. !"

"..."

Jiang Liushen's "golden sentences" always make Xia Xiai speechless.

The dinner was lively and lively to the last round of charity fundraising. This year's theme is "Charity Creates the Future". Some of the guests made on-site donations, while others took to the stage to announce future charitable plans.

Xia Xiai didn't expect Jiang Liushen to come to the stage, and he was stunned for a second when the host announced his name.

Jiang Liushen has plans to announce? Why didn't he know any news in advance?

"A little surprise for you." Jiang Liushen blinked and stepped onto the stage under his astonished gaze.

As soon as Jiang Liushen took the stage, the originally noisy audience immediately became quiet, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen carefully.

"Xiai just shared his past, and I also have a past to share." Jiang Liushen put away his usual sloppy attitude and said sternly, "Every friend here may know that my last movie "Flying" has drama."

Xia Xiai's heart froze, and Li Luo also looked surprised, apparently not expecting Jiang Liushen to suddenly say this in public.

"In the movie, I played a depressed patient. In the process of trying to figure out the character's psychology, I was more or less affected by the character's emotions, and I once wondered if I also had depression."

"But it turns out that I'm just mediocre. People who are really suffering from depression are in a much worse situation than me."

Jiang Liushen's eyes met Xia Xiai's nervous eyes, and said slowly:

"Like one of my fans."

"He was killed by this disease. I had the opportunity to save him, but because I didn't know enough about depression, I didn't realize the seriousness of his condition, and I missed the opportunity. I have always felt guilty about it."

"The deceased is gone, and no matter how hard I try, I can't change the past, but I think, maybe I can do something to change the future."

The big screen on the stage lit up, and a huge title was put out: Fenghua Zhengmao Foundation.

"For each of my future films, 50% of the income will be invested in the foundation to help patients with depression. Here, I also call on everyone to actively participate and make the world a better place, thank you. "

Jiang Liushen finished his statement briefly and neatly, took a step back, bent down, and bowed 90 degrees.

When did the people in the audience see Prince Jiang bow so respectfully, some people almost wanted to stand up and say, "Don't you ask us to donate?"

With his call, the foundation's funds in recent years probably don't need to worry about it. However, his original intention was only to announce the news, and he appealed by the way. With his personal income, he can fully support the operation of the foundation.

Jiang Liushen stepped off the stage in applause, and threw a smug look at Xia Xiai: "Is the big boss handsome and lavish?"

Xia Xiai frowned: "Will 50% be too much... Will it affect your quality of life? Otherwise, you give 30% and I give 30%?"

"Not much at all." Jiang Liushen leaned closer and lowered his voice, "You think I just make money by making movies? Don't worry, even if you donate 100%, your boyfriend can still support you."

Xia Xiai pushed him away: "Who wants you to support..."

"That's fine, you support me. Boss Xia, I'm handsome, tall and mighty. I promise to serve you comfortably in every way. Will you give me a bite to eat?"

Xia Xiai ignored the ambiguous information in his words and turned his head expressionlessly, but the tips of his ears were quietly red.

Jiang Liushen relentlessly asked: "What? Boss Xia is not satisfied with me? Did I just behave well enough? I don't want to reward me for a bite of food?"

"You don't need my meal."

Xia Xi'ai recalled Jiang Liushen who had just stood on the stage, and had to admit that this man's serious appearance was indeed very charming. Obviously, the stage was not a spotlight, but there was a sense of focus that all the light in the whole venue was converging on him.

Jiang Liushen was born to be a superstar, and God is willing to reward him for food, where can he be rewarded?
