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

Chapter 1087: "The Dragon" - The crew bids farewell: See you back home!

Zhuang Hongyi only managed to come to his senses when he stood on the stage.

The host smiled and gestured for him to pick up the trophy, while Xiao He and the other two members of the Anti-Metaphysics Team applauded as they went on stage together.

At this moment, Zhuang Hongyi finally adjusted his state, holding the trophy in one hand and the microphone in the other, sharing his joy and complex emotions with the audience.

However, the joy of those on stage did not extend to those in the audience.

Manager El crossed his arms, chuckled coldly, and decisively stood up and left.

The other actors in the shield looked at each other, but in the end, they didn't dare to get up and leave to express their dissatisfaction like Manager El. They just sat in their seats, each looking down at their phones, whether chatting or trying to distract themselves, no one knew.

The thank-you speech on stage was limited to one minute, so Xiao He and the others quickly came down from the stage again.

As he passed by, Xiao He whistled softly: "Hey, isn't Manager El here?"

The other actors in the shield curtain kept their heads down, pretending not to hear.

However, some with bad tempers simply raised their heads and glared at Xiao He.

Xiao He shrugged innocently: "What? Is your eye twitching? Or are you also dissatisfied with Manager El?"

One of them tried to stand up abruptly and walk straight up to Xiao He to show off, but his movement was quickly stopped by another person next to him. "Calm down, calm down!"

No matter what, they can't just attack Xiao He directly here!

That would really mean being kicked out of the venue by the organizers!

So, in short—patience!

Xiao He raised an eyebrow, put one hand in his pocket, and looked at the most hot-tempered shield screen actor as he sat back down in his seat with great disappointment: "Sigh, it turns out it was all bark and no bite."

If the other party dares to rush up and attack him, he can give them an over-the-shoulder throw as a sign of respect.

Is that all?

"Ahem, alright, Xiao He."

Zhuang Hongyi successfully led the crew to win an award. Although it wasn't a big prize, he was still quite happy. He couldn't suppress his smile. But when he saw Xiao He provoking the people at the shield screen again, he found it both funny and speechless. Finally, as if he had a change of heart, he pulled Xiao He's arm and said, "Keep a low profile. I don't want to get a sack on my way back."

Xiao He wasn't like this before. He was quite peaceful in his dealings with people and things, and he liked to keep a low profile, which was completely different from his aggressive appearance.

When he arrived in Cannes this time, he was completely different.

They've provoked them several times already!

The principle of "things shouldn't happen more than three times" should still be followed.

Zhuang Hongyi was afraid that on their way back from receiving the award, the actors from the shield screen would put sacks on them.

Oh right, there's an even bigger boss behind them, Mecariler.

I wonder how this person will react when they find out that their film crew has won both major and minor awards.

"Okay, I'll stop teasing them. It's pointless anyway." Xiao He turned back and replied to Director Zhuang with a smile, "The only interesting one, Manager El, is gone too. Sigh."

And so the group walked past the shield-screen actors with remarkable grace and efficiency.

After everyone left, the hot-tempered shield curtain actor finally couldn't hold back his anger and said, "No, I really can't imagine how there could be such a person!"

"Are you all dead? People are provoking us to our very faces, and you're still sitting there."

"What can we do then?"

Another person whispered.

“The shield screen made arrangements, but they still won two awards, didn’t they? Winning both Best Actor and the Jury Prize at the same time is an exception in the entire award ceremony record.”

This industry-accepted unspoken rule of equally distributing awards was broken by the crew of "Long," even under pressure from Shield Screen's prior notice. Clearly, the judging panel didn't buy into Hollywood's ways, so what could these Shield Screen's little karaokes say?

We can't possibly bypass Manager El and Young Master Mecaril!

After hearing his words, the hot-tempered actor calmed down.

He's just impulsive, but he's definitely not stupid.

"Why do you think Young Master Mecaril has stayed here for so many days without going back?"

Given the typical behavior of these important figures, they would definitely leave by plane within seven days of arriving at this place.

Unexpectedly, young Master Mekkaller was truly possessed, staying here for more than ten days without going on vacation. He spent his days moving between the hotel and the conference venue, as if he really had come here to work.

Aside from deliberately causing trouble at the screening of "Long" on the day of its release, the two sides remained at peace with each other.

"have no idea."

The others shook their heads.

"However, I did see it today."

One of them suddenly raised his palm and said in a low voice.

"Talila was supposed to come with us today, but she received some news and turned back."

"Hey? You saw her before you left?"

Everyone else was surprised. "Really? I thought she was deliberately not coming, making us wait for so long."

"It's true, I'm sure it was her. But I noticed she didn't look well at the time. I was going to go up and talk to her, but she turned around and ran away. I don't know what happened to her."

"Why didn't you say that when Manager El asked you about it earlier?"

"Hehe, Manager El was obviously angry and wanted to take advantage of the situation. When I said that, I just walked right into the line of fire. He doesn't dare to cause trouble for Talila, and he doesn't dare to say anything about Talila, but it would be easy for him to curse me."

Everyone fell silent.

That seems to be true.

"Then let's just pretend we don't know. Anyway, Talira isn't coming to tonight's event, so what does it have to do with us?"

The others nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes, yes."

...

After the One Choice Awards are presented, it's time for the final One Choice Award.

The award-winning film is a local production, and it is of very good quality. Compared to "Long", it is more artistic and stream-of-consciousness, but most people can still understand it. It does not have that feeling of melodramatic whining. It is a very good art film, and it is also one of the few works by Xiao He that I have watched live at Cannes.

However, judging solely by the quality of the work and the overall feedback, it's not necessarily true that this work is better than "Long".

However, it is a good thing that it was able to surpass "Long" to win the grand prize. Only in this way would the jury split the big and small awards into two for their film crew, so that "Long" would not seem to have suffered a loss in this award competition, and it would not seem that their own art film won the award undeservedly.

So, it turns out they were looking after their own people.

That's quite normal. In fact, the official side is quite considerate, making everyone feel satisfied—except for the people from Shield Curtain and Mecaril.

So the crew of "Long" no longer regretted the matter. Instead, they applauded sincerely and showed expressions of approval when other cameras looked over, which can be regarded as following and acknowledging the official approach.

Everyone was very respectable.

After the film crew went on stage to accept the award, the awards ceremony was about to come to an end.

All the winners and teams can go back on stage for a group photo as a final memento of their award.

Meanwhile, Zhuang Hongyi had already started instructing the logistics team to pack up, as they would catch a flight back to China that evening.

Xiao He glanced at it and told Zhou Junhao and the rest of the "Long" team to go back to the hotel ahead of time.

Zhou Junhao, acting as the assistant, hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Xiao He: "Okay."

"Director Zhuang, you guys go first, be careful on the road."

Xiao He said to Zhuang Hongyi.

Zhuang Hongyi looked at Song Zhe and the other bodyguards behind Xiao He. Thinking of what Xiao He had said to him before the event ended, he remained silent for a moment and then nodded: "Okay, you be careful too."

"at last--"

He hugged Xiao He, offering himself encouragement and support.

"See you in China."

Xiao He chuckled and hugged him tightly: "Okay, see you back home."
