My Animation Era

As the president, Gu Miao has a strong voice within the Animation Association.

But this does not mean that he can act arbitrarily without holding meetings to discuss important matters such as the establishment of annual awards for the association.

The meeting still has to be held...

Considering the number of Wanbao members within the association, Gu Miao's proposal has a high chance of passing.

as expected.

In an internal meeting held two days later, the proposal put forward by the current president Gu Miao, namely to establish an annual commendation award for outstanding animation works and practitioners within the association, was unanimously approved.

Because it is an internal commendation of the association.

Therefore, in establishing this award, there is no need to seek opinions from outside parties or superior departments.

At the same time, nominated works and personnel can only be selected from within the association. Non-members of the Chinese Animation and Animation Association cannot be nominated or even win awards.

"Isn't it too petty to only give awards to your own people?"

As the vice president, Huang Kun actually did not agree with the threshold set by Gu Miao.

He believes that this is too narrow, and the nomination criteria should be broadened to the entire industry instead of being limited to within the association.

"This is actually an unspoken rule."

"Do you know the art of language? If a person or a certain animation work is really outstanding, then he can also be nominated and win the award."

Gu Miao said with a smile: "From the moment he was nominated, he automatically joined the Chinese Animation Association."

This is an old routine.

Many internal awards issued by associations, once received by someone outside the association, will be accompanied by an "honorary membership card" in addition to a trophy and certificate.

for example.

Before Gu Miao traveled through time, she filmed a pet documentary on Boring. Then this documentary won the "Best Documentary Short Award" from a documentary association.

According to the award rules, this award can only be awarded to internal members of the association.

At that time, Gu Miao, as a third-rate TV drama director, did not join this so-called documentary association. Logically speaking, he is not eligible to be nominated or win the award.

But he still won the award!

Because the moment he was nominated for the award, he had already received honorary membership of the Documentary Society.

So from this perspective, Huang Kun's worries and considerations are completely unnecessary. It has long been a social consensus to award awards to non-members with honorary membership.

"No, I don't understand."

Huang Kun scratched his head and asked with confusion: "If this is the case, then why not explain from the beginning that this award is not an internal award, but a public award for the entire industry?"

"Escape supervision!"

"The association's internal awards will not be interfered by external factors. If it is a public award, the association will not have so much decision-making power and say."

Having said this, Gu Miao couldn't help showing a bad smile and asked: "Let me ask you, is the Oscar an internal award or a public award?"

"Of course it's male... uh!"

Huang Kun, who originally wanted to win the Public Award, suddenly thought of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. This may not sound very famous, but it is indeed a huge organization.

Oscar is an internal award of the Academy!

They only award awards to internal members of the academy and do not award awards to outsiders.

It’s just that those who are nominated for an Oscar will automatically gain membership of the Academy. So over time, everyone has forgotten the fact that the Oscar is actually an internal recognition award within the academy.

"Fine."

Since this was a recognized unspoken rule, Huang Kun nodded and did not continue to object.

That's pretty good too.

After establishing the award nomination rules and threshold standards, the next thing to be discussed is the design and name of the trophy.

Gu Miao suggested using pandas.

On the one hand, the panda is a national treasure with strong Chinese characteristics. Designing the trophy in the shape of a panda meets all standards.

on the other hand.

The panda itself is a cute and charming creature that is loved by everyone. This biological characteristic is very consistent with the image of works such as "animation" in people's minds.

Just as everyone was having a heated discussion about "gold panda" or "silver panda", "giant panda" or "red panda", and even got into a heated argument, Gu Miao's cell phone buzzed in her pocket.

Gu Miao frowned.

When he got up and walked out of the conference room and went to the corridor outside to answer the phone, he suddenly heard Lao Gu's excited voice.

"Coco is pregnant?"

"Which hospital is it at? Dad, go and keep an eye on it first. I'll be back soon!"

Gu Miao was extremely excited when she learned that her girlfriend went to the hospital for a check-up due to delayed menstruation and found out that she was two weeks pregnant.

Damn it!

What kind of meeting is this?

What nonsense are gold pandas, silver pandas, giant pandas and red pandas, they are all just a cloud in front of his unborn child.

Without enough time to announce the breakup of the meeting, Gu Miao sent a message to Huang Kun. After explaining the reason, she rushed to the hospital impatiently.

…

When arriving at the hospital.

Jiang Keke has just finished her examination and is listening to the doctor's advice on nursing care during pregnancy.

Father Jiang, Mother Jiang, Aunt Chen and Lao Gu, the four old people were like primary school students in class, holding paper and pens and taking notes carefully.

"Really pregnant?"

"Um!"

The moment he saw Gu Miao, Jiang Keke couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm two weeks pregnant!"

"Okay, okay..."

"I'm a dad! I'm a dad!"

The excited Gu Miao walked around in circles and was about to give Coco a passionate hug, but was kicked away by Lao Gu.

"Say what you have to say and don't touch me. What if you hurt the child?"

As soon as Lao Gu finished speaking, Father Jiang nodded quickly and said: "Yes, I warned you to stay away from my daughter, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"

Gu Miao: "???"

what! Can't you even hug me?

Didn't you say that you are only two weeks pregnant? Your belly is not pregnant yet, so you can't be so fragile, right?

Anyway.

The old people were really overjoyed. They were all like old hens protecting their food, protecting the pregnant Coco as airtight as possible.

Gu Miao wanted to go over and whisper a few words, but when he found that the four old people were staring at him as if they were guarding against thieves, he gave up immediately.

After returning home from the hospital.

Gu Miao, who was looking for an opportunity to whisper a few words to his girlfriend, was suddenly dragged into the study room by Lao Gu and Jiang's father for an interrogation.

"Tell me, what are your plans?"

Lao Gu handed the prospective in-laws a cigarette, and then asked his son: "You two have been dating for so many years, and the marriage has been postponed since last year, so it's time to get the certificate, right?"

"Kind it! Knot it right away."

Gu Miao said without hesitation: "Dad, Uncle Jiang, don't worry, I will go get the certificate in two days."

"As for the wedding, do you have to choose a good day? I don't understand that!"

"It's okay, let's pick a date."

Lao Gu waved his hand and said: "About the wedding, your father-in-law and I are here! Just pay for it and leave the rest to us."

That's good!

After learning that Lao Gu and Lao Jiang were willing to handle these matters for her, Gu Miao was relieved.

He is most afraid of trouble.

If someone is willing to take care of it for him, it will definitely save him a lot of worry.
