<h4>Chapter 343: Proud</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>Henyee Trantions <strong>Editor: </strong>Henyee Trantions
The “Echoing Program” was an event for non-profitable filmmakers, one that was held every year as a donation party in Asia.
Apart from making donations, the filmmakers present would also ask their fans to donate as well.
Then they would use the funds to help people who were deaf and mute have their hearing or speaking ability restored.
After Fu Shiyi received Fu Hanzheng’s text that she should leave after the donation section, the program formally started.
After a sentimental speech, the founder said, with a mysterious smile, “This year, our event is lucky to have invited Ms. Ling Yan, the lead actress of Dream of a Long Life to be present. She is the pride and the legend of our filmmakers and the miracle of life.”
“Today, I expect that Ms. Ling Yan would be able to help give voice to more people’s miracles.”
....
Apuse arose on the site and many people even gave her a standing ovation.
Ling Yan went up to the podium as the apuse arose and chitchatted with the founder for a short while.
Ling Yan took over the microphone and smiled gently and shyly, as she sized up the filmmakers below the podium.
“Many people say that Dream of a Long Life is a legend of the film industry but as a matter of fact, I did not think much about it when I was shooting the movie because I already had a dream of being an actress and I had expected to realize this dream, before my life ended. I had thought that Dream of a Long Life would be thest film I made before I said goodbye to the world.”
When the words came to this pause, some of the audience started to feel that they may cry.
“But someone gave me a miracle so I lived on, so that I am able to stand on this stage and have more time and a longer life to realize all of my dreams.” Ling Yan sobbed yet then said with a firmer tone, “In order to thank that friend who is far away in heaven and who has given me this miracle, I will make a sequel to Dream of a Long Life next year.”
The filmmakers present apuded her again.
Gu Weiwei gave a barely there apuse, yet looked rather cold.
She did not give her the miracle. It was Ling Yan who had put the drugs into her badly-injured body, so that she was dered brain dead.
Through these methods she stole her heart, and now she had the arrogance to say that she had to thank her...
Alright then, wait and see how she was going to pay back her so-called gratitude.
Fu Shiyi rolled his eyes as he sat next to her.
“She talks about this matter all the time, as if someone really gave her their heart. Feeling thankful? This is just a show for fans. I believe that the person who gave her their heart, must be feeling horrible after hearing what she said from heaven.”
Gu Weiwei, who had been feeling a bit gloomy, felt likeughing when she heard hisining.
“Everyone is tearful, be serious!”
“I just can’t stand the fact that someone is even prouder than I am.”
Fu Shiyi crossed his long legs, leaned himself against the chair and yawned.
They were justining with each other when the founder said, “Normally, we have a tradition for our program. Two filmmakers are going to have a minor activity and make a donation online with concealed names.”
The founder, Ms. Bai, looked at Ling Yan next to her and said with a smile, “It seems that everyone understands who one of the filmmakers would be this year.”
Obviously, it was going to be Ling Yan who was already on the podium with her.
“One of them is our legendary Movie Queen, Ling Yan.” the Founder said and pointed at the screen where names were rolling by. “And the other participant will be selected by Ms. Ling Yan, randomly, from every present female participant.”
Ling Yan smiled to the audience, as names of all the female stars started to appear on screen rapidly, one after another.
Then she said with a soft voice through the microphone, “Stop!”
The rolling names on the big screen stopped and the remaining name... was Mu Weiwei.
