Genius director Huan Xu transmigrates to an interstellar era, becoming a fallen noble facing family ruin, impending bankruptcy, and massive debts. To save his crumbling company, Huan Xu decides to ret...

Chapter 102

Among the nominees for the Best Actor Award, the two leading actors of Guide Dogs are prominently listed.

As the host announced the news, information about each nominated film and the highlights of the nominated actor in the film were replayed one by one, bringing the audience back to those wonderful scenes.

As for guide dogs, the two protagonists captured scenes of Awang, played by Dahei, crossing mountains and rivers, traveling day and night with the sole purpose of returning home.

The clip that Grandpa Hu captured was his reluctant farewell to Dahei before he passed away.

Not only the audience in front of the computer screens in each live broadcast room, but also the actors and directors invited to participate in the carnival night inside and outside the Golden Hall were brought back to the night when they were watching the drama, and their hearts were once again tightened.

Previously, with his superb acting skills in The Legend of Jigong, Xinghuo's veteran artist Grandpa Hu has surpassed several other leading actors and won the Best Actor Award in the TV Series category this year with his portrayal of Jigong, who is neither a layman nor a monk, neither an ordinary person nor an immortal, and who laughs, scolds, and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

[Uncle, can you please make another move this time and win the Best Actor Award in the Film and Television category as well?]

Ah, I really hope Uncle wins an award. At the online drama awards ceremony, when he stood on stage and received his own trophy for best actor, Uncle cried. After years of hard work and perseverance, Uncle has proven with his ability that he can play a villain just as well as a protagonist.

True acting is when people forget who they are and what they've done before. In each new film, they play a new character. This is the true spirit of a veteran actor.

I want Uncle Li to win, but I also want Dahei to win. Ugh, I'm so torn.

Of course, in addition to the fans of the guide dog and Huan Xu, the other three nominated actors also have their supportive fans leaving messages, praying, and cheering in various live broadcast rooms.

The final voting channel was closed, and the latest results calculated by Haolan.com's artificial intelligence data were sealed in a golden envelope.

Under the witness of official notaries, under the gaze of countless directors and actors in the award hall, and under the expectations of actors in front of countless Samsung live broadcast screens.

The young and handsome host slowly opened the envelope.

Countless cameras were focused on the host's face, not missing any details on his expression. The moment he saw the list of winners, his slightly contracted pupils and a flash of surprise were all captured in the camera.

Although the host immediately restrained himself the moment he realized it, the audience still became more curious about the result.

[Oh my god, please tell me who it is, I'm so anxious! ]

[My hands are shaking uncontrollably, my palms are sweating. I want to kill you, I want to cut you up, I want to kill you ...

Regardless of which actor wins the Best Actor award, they are all Samsung's finest male artists. Thank you for your wonderful performances. I also wish you continued success in your acting career, leaving behind a brilliant legacy for the countless audiences of Jiu Tian Xing.

"I declare that the winner of this year's Haotian Carnival Night Film Best Actor is—"

"Congratulations to Fenghuo Entertainment for signing the artist, our special male lead, Mr. Dahei, for his portrayal of Awang, a loyal guardian who has touched our hearts."

【Ahhh, it's Daikoku-sensei. Daikoku-sensei won the award.】

【Congratulations to Mr. Daikoku. 】

[As the host said, Awang's image is so classic. I will always remember it. It embodies all the tenderness and untouchable pain.]

However, before the audience could express their expectations and excitement on the public screen, they found that things did not seem that simple, because the host's speech had not yet finished, and the music inviting the guests to come on stage to receive the awards had not yet started.

The dazzling fireworks on the big screen behind the host continued, and his voice rang out immediately:

"Congratulations to Xinghuo Entertainment for signing artist Hu Haochang. He stands tall, uncompeting for glory with the grass; he stands alone in the storm, silently becoming a monument of his own. Thank you, Grandpa Li, who is strong yet gentle, indifferent yet kind, for bringing us such a wonderful performance."

"Finally, let us once again congratulate the two leading actors of Guide Dogs, Mr. Hu and Mr. Dahei, for their well-deserved Best Actor awards."

"Let's give you two a warm round of applause and invite you to the stage to receive your awards."

After a brief pause, warm and even boiling applause rang out in the award hall. Some people had guessed that the guide dog would win the award, but they did not expect that the two male protagonists would win the award at the same time.

Ming An and Ning Miaomiao, who were not qualified to enter the venue this time, hugged each other excitedly. Even though they were not the winners, they were still proud of it. Guide Dogs is the work of Director Huan and also of Xinghuo Entertainment, and they are Xinghuo's artists.

They even wanted to tell the whole world: This year's double-awarded Best Actor is from our Huo family.

Double yolk egg.

【It's blasting, okay? 】

[Ahhh, Haotian official, you are always going to stir up trouble. Seeing Grandpa Li and Awang in the same frame again, tears came to my eyes.]

That’s right, on the way to the podium, the old partners Dahei and Grandpa Hu reunited, and the camera captured their figures at a 360-degree angle.

Even at this moment, the screen on the podium changed again, and the scene from the final ending of Guide Dogs, where Grandpa and Awang walked together through the wheat field in the sunset, began to play.

So many audiences clapped their hands while crying, their lips curled up, and they laughed like fools, feeling both sad and happy.

When Grandpa Li and Awang held up their Best Actor trophies on the podium, Teacher Hu couldn't help but burst into tears again, repeating, "Thank you everyone."

Teacher Hu's emotional response also caused many actors on the scene to think of their own experiences.

On the long road of being an actor, some people persist, some give up, and some choose to find another way.

But how many people can be like Teacher Hu? Even though he plays supporting roles and villains, he can still diligently study his acting skills, carefully portray each character, and discover the shining points of the character itself.

The actors couldn't help but think to themselves and came to a conclusion:

"Teacher Hu's success and awards are due not only to Director Huan's mentor and the excellence of the script itself, but also to his own persistence and perseverance."

I don’t know who started to applaud first, but then more and more applause gathered into a tide, echoing inside and outside the award hall.

The host on stage also couldn't help but applaud, saying enthusiastically, "Let us all give our applause to the award-winning guests on stage, and also to ourselves who are persisting and moving forward on our respective paths."

【The most exciting thing is coming. 】

[Director Huan, charge ahead! Tonight, the road to becoming a god begins.]

[Director Liu must win.]

[The Valkyrie Jidao is here, all outsiders please get out of the way.]

【Bruce, the pride of our Youtian! 】

The host announced the list of nominees and the best clips from the Best Films selections were played on the big screen. At the same time, Samsung viewers and fans in the barrage area were cheering for the directors they supported.

that is……

[Damn it, it seems like Director Huan showed off.]

It was the last nomination's turn. The host announced Huan Xu's name, and the classic clip of guide dogs was played on the screen again.

Has it been ten minutes since Guide Dogs was last shown on this big screen? While the excerpts are different, and even if you randomly pick out the clips from Guide Dogs, they're all classics, the familiar faces of Teacher Dahei and Teacher Hu are still there.

It's understandable to bump into each other in other places, but it's rare to see such a forced collision at the awards ceremony on Carnival Night.

[Suddenly, a thought occurred to me: if our Director Huan won both awards in a row, wouldn't three-quarters of the grand finale of the Carnival Night's highlights belong to our Director Huan?]

The picture was so beautiful that even the fan who typed this couldn't believe it, and quickly added: "It's just talk, don't pay attention to me, big guys."

He really just spoke from his heart and didn't want to bring bad things to Director Huan.

Fortunately, Huan Xu was nominated based on his own strength, and his name appeared on the big screen, which was the recognition of him by the Samsung audience. At this time, even the blind haters would not make trouble at such a star-studded moment.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Director Huan’s fans to come out, and the passers-by could drown out the black fans who are looking for trouble with just a few spit nails.

Amid the exciting background music, the host slowly opened the golden envelope and announced the winners of the Best Picture Award.

"When all is silent, only light and shadow dance lightly on the screen. What is presented to us is not only a movie, but also an invitation to the soul. In the intersection of light and shadow, on the edge of dream and reality, we find resonance."

"This film, with its unique narrative technique, slowly unfolds a long-forgotten book. Every shot is imbued with fantasy and profound meaning, capturing not only the beauty of the moment but also profound philosophy and emotion. Unhurried and unhurried, it hears thunder in silence and reveals truth in subtle details, allowing us to discover the extraordinary in the ordinary and feel the true meaning of life in the trivialities."

"The director skillfully constructs a world that is both real and fantastical. In this world, the characters' emotions are infinitely magnified, and their joys, sorrows, loves, hates, and vengeances are all so vivid and lifelike. In this process, the protagonist gradually examines and understands himself. The film delves into issues at multiple levels, such as human nature, society, and culture, and prompts us to think deeply about life and existence."

"Similarly, the actors, relying on their own understanding of the characters, accurately interpreted the inner world of the characters and integrated perfectly with the characters. Every smile, every tear, every struggle and fight of theirs was so real and touching that we felt as if we were breathing and sharing the fate of the characters."

"In addition, the film's score, photography, editing, and other aspects are all first-rate. They complement the film's theme and atmosphere, creating an artistic space that is both dreamy and real. In this space, we feel the power of beauty, the warmth of love, and the immortality and eternity of life."

"Let us congratulate Bruce, the director of the film "The Dream Stealer", for winning the Best Picture Award this year."

"We would like to express our highest respect and warmest congratulations to the entire creative team of 'The Dream Stealer'! We hope that you will continue to maintain this passion and pursuit for art in your future creations and bring us more touching and outstanding works."

[Wow, it's not Director Huan. What a pity.]

Seeing that the winner was not Huan Xu, some fans could not help but spread the news in the fan group while wiping away tears. It was not because they were dissatisfied, but just a little unwilling to accept it.

The administrator came out immediately to comfort everyone and ease their emotions.

I've also seen Inception; it's a good film, and its award-winning performance is understandable. It's also the Haotian family's favorite literary and artistic sci-fi film. Compared to Director Huan's nominated films, it has a much greater audience and potential for winning awards. Director Huan himself applauded the Dream Maker. As fans of Director Huan, we should also show our generosity and not bring shame to Director Huan.

[We must not bring bad things to the best director Huan.]

[It's okay, there's still one last grand prize.]

[And don't forget, this is only our Huandao's first year. To have achieved such an achievement is already quite remarkable.]

We should be happy if we won an award, but we shouldn't be too self-deprecating if we didn't. I believe it won't be long, perhaps on the next planet's carnival night, or perhaps next year, when Director Huan will definitely win a trophy for us. It will be the best gift for our fans.

As for Huan Xu himself, he actually said the same thing as his fans. He was certainly happy to win the award, but he would also sincerely applaud and congratulate even if he didn't win.

The Dream Stealer is a fantastic film directed by a man of many talents. It is an art film with interstellar characteristics that is the result of the collision of art and technology. Many shots in the play are also cleverly shot. The director's control over the plot design and rhythm as well as the exploration of human nature are also very profound. Huan Xu also thinks and learns along with the director in many aspects.

He never stops learning and hopes that interstellar people can accept new cultures. Similarly, as an ancient person who traveled from his home planet, he himself also has a learning attitude and absorbs the culture developed by Jiutian that belongs to them.

The best state is to find each other's splendid existence in the collision of new and old cultures and shoot the best films.

Best Director Award, same process, same suspense.

Even after what Jiaying said, Huan's fans have regained their composure and are ready to have Director Huan accompany them.

The group owners have even changed the announcements of each group as soon as possible. To quote our ancestors, that is - water does not compete for the lead, but for the continuous flow.

Faced with Huan Xu's calm smile, the Huan family members also regained their Buddhist and calm attitude.

They even started leaving messages saying [Participation is the most important thing.]

Other netizens: ...

What we mean is that this group of fans really have the calm demeanor of our ancestors.

But, do you want to listen carefully to what the host on the stage is saying?

And classic movie clips played on the big screen behind the host.

[Hey, does this look familiar?]

Huan fans:?! Ovo looks a little familiar.

[What is the situation now?]

Can't stand this bunch of naive and stupid Black Crow fans anymore? They gritted their teeth and typed a line of comments together.

[He won the award, but why didn't he arrange a fireworks display for him?]

Why do we have to let these black fans help arrange the appearance?

Forget it, forget it, considering that these Huan family members are useless, and considering that they have been fighting wits and courage with a certain Huan for so long.

Fireworks display! Non-stop tonight!

It’s hard to meet and hard to part—Untitled;

The white bones and blue ashes are all mine—Chi Ling;

High mountain streams meet a kindred spirit—Jinse;

Waiting to start over, clean up the old mountains and rivers, facing the sky - the river is full of red;

A puppy's love is forever - a guide dog;

Strange and supernatural things, all things have spirits - the Master does not speak;

A solitary lamp casts shadows, while hundreds of ghosts roam the night – Yin hour;

We are all players in the game – perfumers;

As well as the wonderful reversal in the famous detective, a promotional documentary that is more exciting and atmospheric than a war movie, hello, interstellar people.

The medley of wonderful scenes allows the audience to recall the happiness and sadness that Director Huan brought them.

Finally, amidst the majestic and ancient background music of "Hello, Starman", the host's voice rang out in a high-pitched voice:

"I am honored to stand here tonight and present an award to an outstanding director who uses his camera as his pen, stories as his soul, and his works as his language to explore the world with us."

“His works are not only a visual feast, but also a spiritual touch. Every time I watch a movie, it is a profound dialogue with my soul.”

"He excels at using unique narrative techniques to skillfully blend complex character emotions with social realities, creating unforgettable characters and plots. When the melodious sound of opera begins, one dreams of a troubled time and savors the eulogy of a parting love."

"A narrative trick that sets a precedent for interstellar suspense!"

"He is also good at using the lens and stories to take us into the palace of art. Awang, the guide dog, is a name and a story about commitment and waiting."

"Web series, variety shows, documentaries, we don't know how many surprises he has yet to show us."

"He is not only a storyteller, but also an emotional guide, making us laugh out loud and cry uncontrollably in his works."

"What's even more commendable is that he has always maintained a love and awe for art, constantly challenging himself and daring to innovate, bringing surprises and touching moments to the audience time and time again. His works have not only won wide acclaim in the industry, but have also deeply touched the hearts of countless audiences."

"I declare that the winner of the final award of Haotian Carnival Night, the Best Director Award, is—Huan Xu, Director Huan!"

"Let us give our warmest applause to Director Huan, this talented and adventurous artist."

"Director Huan, please come up on stage and take back the honor that belongs only to you."

"Your talent and hard work have injected new vitality and possibilities into the art of film. Your works will be forever engraved in the annals of film history and become a model for future generations to learn from and admire."

"I also hope that Director Huan will continue to maintain this love and pursuit of art in his future creations, and bring us more touching and outstanding works. Congratulations again to Director Huan on the award. You are the brightest star of this era!"

The award ceremony of Haotian Carnival Night has just ended, and the three major networks and star networks are flooded with hot search terms about Carnival Night.

Especially in the first year of the merger, the Best Director Award, one of the two major awards at the Haotian Carnival Night, was won by a director from another planet. Although it had been expected that the merger of the nine stars would have some impact in various aspects, no one expected the impact on the entertainment industry to come so quickly and violently.

Of course, the local audiences of Haotian were also convinced that Huan Xu, the Cheng Yaojin who fought his way out of poverty, won the grand prize. Most of them even cast their precious votes for Director Huan during the voting stage. Director Huan's award was also won by them one by one.

Art knows no boundaries.

Besides, if Director Huan is willing, they, Haotian, will always open their arms to welcome Director Huan.

To this the people of Cangtian said: You Haotian are thinking about peaches.

In Huan Xu's various fan groups, fans all looked dazed and could not believe it until they woke up the next day.

My idol won an award so soon?

"Director Huan really won the award, right? I didn't dream last night, did I?"

"Best Director, a genuine little gold trophy, all the major entries are still hanging on Starblog."

"So, Director Huan has already reached the lower standard, right?"

What low standard? Of course, it’s the first medal that opens the Star Guide’s path to godhood.

"I thought Huan Dao would definitely embark on the path to becoming a god, but I didn't expect that day to come so soon."

"My eyes watered. Director Huan was really worried that we'd wait too long."

"Oh my god, when I saw Director Huan win the award at the last moment of the ceremony, I was so excited that I wanted to tell everyone in the world: This is my idol, such an outstanding person!"

“When he stood on the podium, he really sparkled.”

"Anyway, congratulations to Director Huan for starting the path to becoming a god."

"I wonder where Director Huan will go next? We, the Huan fans, will always follow him."

"Actually, we should already have the answer. The next stop is definitely Youtianxing. Director Huan should be waiting to take our Xinghuo generals to Youtianxing to prepare for the prize, right? Doghead."

Yes, Huan fans almost forgot that there is still a Youtian Carnival Night that has not started yet.

Director Youtian Xing Huan has also been nominated for two major awards. What else is there to prepare? Everything that needs to be prepared has already been prepared. The preparations have been completed. All that is left is the results.

Even compared to Haotianxing, Huan fans are more confident that Youtianxing will win the award.

"After all, don't the Youtian people keep saying that Huan Dao loves them? They love Huan Dao too. Isn't it a two-way street? If they don't vote actively, they won't have the nerve to compete with Cang Tian and Hao Tian for Huan Dao in the future. Wait, why did Hao Tian barge in?"

"Well, that's not important. What's important is being nominated for a perfumer for the Grand Prix. This is a milestone, a groundbreaking achievement, personally recognized by the authorities. Do you understand the value of these words? Don't ask, it's all about the appearance."

"My palms are sweating with excitement again. Oh my god, is Huan really going to create a miracle?"

Huan fans didn't dare to say too much and continued to keep a low profile. Before other fans could come and mock them, they were already down.

The most important thing for a person is to be content.

Be content and you will always be happy.

Director Huan's harvest this year is already rich enough. No matter how many awards Youtianxing wins, it will be icing on the cake. Even if he doesn't win anything, relying on Haotianxing's harvest, it will be enough for Huan fans to have a fruitful new year.

"Don't forget we still have many trophies from before the merger."

"Ohhhh, so many trophies, so many honors, I'm so happy."

Other fans and viewers: "...Okay, you're Huan fans, as expected. You can't inspire us to fight at all, so just lie down! You're just like fake fans, can't you have a little faith in Director Huan? Other fans and passers-by have even more faith than you Huan fans."

"Stand up, ah hey!"

Just as fans had guessed, Huan Xu and the Xinghuo crew had already set sail again, boarding a flying ship and heading for Youtian Star.

Because the two Star Carnival Nights were too close together, there was not much time left for everyone to rest.

Because the time was so short, artists like Ji Xiaowan, who were participating in the carnival night for the first time, had no time to reminisce, feel sentimental, or reminisce about the past. They just continued to busily prepare for a new round of red carpet.

As the popularity of Haotian Carnival Night continued to grow, the Dunhuang style brought by Huan Xu once again became popular in the interstellar world.

As promised, the official website of Xinghuo released two sets of photo albums for male and female artists, one each of flying makeup and secular makeup.

On the red carpet of Carnival Night, the female artists from Starfire stunned the world with their exotic flying costumes adorned with gold and silver.

When the "bare-chested" flying costumes of the male artists of Xinghuo were released, it once again stirred up a bloody storm.

Director Huan was also once again nicknamed by people in the fashion circle as: the man who leads the fashion trend.

Master Fei, who had tailored Dunhuang costumes for Huan Xu and Yan Ze, also received custom orders from all walks of life. They all had only one request: a pair of stunning Dunhuang-style dresses like those worn by Director Huan and President Yan, no matter the price.

Master Fei: ...This requirement itself is problematic. Yan Ze and Huan Xu look good in their clothes, but is it the clothes that are the problem? It's the people. Okay, a bunch of uncles with beer bellies trying to be as respectful as young people. Isn't that really putting a hardship on a designer like him?

No matter how high the price offered by the bosses on the other side, Master Fei canceled all similar orders. Ahem, of course, it was not a problem of body shape, but the two clothes customized for Yan Ze and Huan Xu, with two outstanding models, Master Fei felt that he had produced the best and most satisfactory work in the use of this material.

Even if ten or a hundred more pieces are made in the future, similar or different customizations will never surpass the two pieces customized for Huan Xu and Yan Ze. In this case, why should we make unsatisfactory replicas by hand? There is no need.

Master Fei even had another realization and began to retreat.

The author has something to say:
