Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 1086: Both Awards, Who Can Compete?!

"This year's Un Certain Regard award for Best Actor goes to Xiao He for his role in 'The Dragon'!"

As the host spoke, the Chinese names of "Lang" and Xiao He were pronounced clearly and distinctly, instantly igniting enthusiastic cheers from the audience.

At the same time, the poster for "Long" appeared on the big screen on the stage, just in time for the occasion. Zhou Zhiyi was holding a peach wood sword with his back to the crowd, while in front of him, a strange monster composed of the character "Long" was hiding in the shadows, as if it had opened its bloody mouth, bringing death, disaster and fear.

At that moment, that figure became the most reassuring presence in everyone's eyes.

Those who go against the tide are heroes.

"To die is to die, but it's not worth dying in vain."

After the poster fades away, you see Xiao He, who plays Zhou Zhiyi, leaning against a stone wall, looking up and smiling.

In his hand was a peach wood sword that had long since broken in two. The blade was dark and incomplete, and the engravings on it were no longer visible. It was as if it had completed its mission and become a piece of rotten wood.

Zhou Zhiyi's hands, which held the broken sword, were also covered in blood, but it was impossible to tell whether it was the monster's blood or his own.

His face showed no sign of impending death. Although he was pale and his cheeks were bloodied, his eyes were brighter than ever before, as if the fire in his heart had been ignited at this moment. He was determined to sacrifice everything he had.

—What kind of look was that?

Looking back at previous works, many outstanding Best Actor winners have been selected, but that look in their eyes was something many people were seeing for the first time.

It is yellow skin and black hair—the kind of look that can only be seen when the martyrdom spirit passed down through generations of Chinese people bursts forth.

It is perseverance, composure, a willingness to die, a relentless spirit, and a deep commitment to the country and its people that give rise to a miracle of extraordinary vitality on the face of a dying man.

At that moment, Zhou Zhiyi was no longer Zhou Zhiyi. Countless predecessors who had struggled in the past and countless people who were trapped in the research institute were crowded into the same body like real souls, and they bravely supported this broken body, allowing him to face the other monsters once again. His tall body was like a wall, thus isolating all the strange and terrifying things in front of him.

At that moment, everyone was moved.

Some people even felt their minds tremble.

It seems I finally understand what kind of country China is, what kind of indomitable spirit the Chinese people possess, and how China's history has forged such resolute heroes and past deeds.

It's clearly a niche film, a work that wasn't well-regarded by many.

However, Zhuang Hongyi's ideas and Xiao He's performance happened to coincide at this moment, creating such a character and story.

Even before this scene appeared, many of them had forgotten one fact—

Xiao He is still very young.

His acting skills are enough to make him surpass countless others and reach the pinnacle.

It's just because he's still young.

How stunning!

How astonishing!

So when Zhou Zhiyi on the big screen and Xiao He in the audience stood up together upon hearing their names called to receive their awards, the applause from the audience was genuine and never stopped.

Zhuang Hongyi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, it seems this operation was successful.

"The Dragon" couldn't be broadcast in China, so the award was just a title for him. But Xiao He genuinely won the Best Actor award. Even if "The Dragon" wasn't recognized domestically, no one would question Xiao He's Best Actor honor.

He also stood up with a smile and hugged Xiao He along with the others.

Lü Dun and Cheng Jingyu knew long ago that they °• N ?? v ?? l i g h t •° had no chance of winning any awards by coming along, but that didn't stop them from giving Xiao He sincere smiles.

As Xiao He hugged Zhuang Hongyi, Zhuang Hongyi lowered his voice and whispered with a smile in Xiao He's ear, "Don't forget in the future, you owe me a big prize. I'm still hoping to surpass my teacher's achievement in the future."

Xiao He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled frankly, hugged Director Zhuang, and stared into Zhuang Hongyi's eyes with an unprecedented seriousness and solemnity: "Okay, Director Zhuang, I will definitely remember."

Zhuang Hongyi's film "The Dragon" gave up a major award in order to promote his Best Actor award, a fact he absolutely acknowledges.

Moreover, after such a long collaboration, they are no longer just ordinary directors and actors, but friends and confidants.

Zhuang Hongyi is still very young, and so is he.

And they all had ambition burning in their eyes.

Therefore, Xiao He believed that they would still come here in the future, still stand in the highest place, hold the highest award, and say that one sentence to everyone—

"Hello everyone, we are from China."

-

"Hello everyone, I am Xiao He, a Chinese actor."

After stepping onto the stage, Xiao He first expressed his gratitude in Chinese.

"Thank you to the judges, thank you to my crew, and thank you to the millennia-old culture of this land, for it is this land that gave birth to this story..."

Xiao He didn't have much time to speak on stage. After saying a few more words in English, he stepped down from the stage again.

Coincidentally, from this position he had to pass by the Shield Screen seating area.

Xiao He raised an eyebrow and waved the trophy in his hand at Manager El in a very provocative manner: "Manager El, thank you for your care these past few days. It's a real pity that I couldn't see Mr. Mecariler today!"

This was the second time Xiao He had mentioned Wilnion.

It's like dancing wildly in a minefield, not even bothering to pretend anymore, just blatant mockery.

Manager El clenched his fist, forced a smile, and said politely, "Haha, congratulations! It's a real pity you didn't win the grand prize this time. Doesn't your crew mind?"

Xiao He shrugged, looking quite nonchalant, waving the trophy in one hand and hooking his elbow with the other, almost like he was using the trophy as a baseball bat: "That is indeed a bit of a pity, but I am still young, and our main creative team is also very young, with unlimited potential for future development."

But by then, the shield was "very old," and it was uncertain whether it would still be able to continue to be a witness for him from the audience.

Manager El gritted his teeth.

-

What surprised everyone was that when the host presented the Jury Prize for Special Attention, the name "尨" appeared again!

This time, Manager El was no longer smiling.

He stared at the large screen in front of him, dumbfounded, completely stunned.

"The Jury Prize was awarded to 'Long' as an exception? What are those guys doing? Where do they put our Shield Curtain? How dare they give it to us?"

The Jury Prize can be roughly understood as the second place in this category.

Coincidentally, "No Bait" also finished second in the main competition that year.

However, this time "Long" is focused on the competition section.

In a way, the fates of this master and his apprentice can be considered predestined.

Zhuang Hongyi sat in the audience, not reacting for a moment.

Xiao He laughed genuinely this time.

He turned his head to look at Zhuang Hongyi, then stood up, opened his arms, and said in a teasing tone, "It seems that Director Zhuang really needs to work harder next time."

Can we break the curse of second place?

Zhuang Hongyi himself hadn't expected them to win an award, and was somewhat taken aback, instinctively hugging Xiao He back.

On the stage behind them, the poster for "Lang" was displayed once again, letting all the audience know their work and where they came from.

The crowd erupted in even more enthusiastic applause and cheers!

After realizing what Xiao He meant, Zhuang Hongyi couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Looks like we really have something to say, Xiao He, next time for sure!"

The story may end, but their lives still hold promise!

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time!"

Xiao He responded with a smile.

Let's go! Everyone, together!

Everyone else stood up too; the entire creative team behind "Long" were full of high spirits!

Winning both big and small prizes in one go, who else can do that!

Their song "Mang" is destined to be the most dazzling center of the world tonight!
