Peng Heqi, who had just been gloating, was stunned, frozen in his seat as if struck by lightning, his face filled with disbelief.

The winning entry was "Night Is Coming," not my own "Confession of Youth"—are you kidding me?!

Peng Heqi could not accept this result.

What did my father do?

Not only him, but Peng Heqi's father, who was sitting in the first row, was also surprised.

That's not right. He had already bribed the judges, and they gave him face by agreeing to award the Best New Director prize to his son.

How come the Best New Director award has now been replaced by something like "The Night Is Coming"? What kind of garbage is "The Night Is Coming"? How could they take away their own son's award?!

Peng Heqi's father was furious.

On the scene, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. They had successfully won the first prize they were competing for, and his challenge was considered complete.

Not bad, not bad.

Moreover, this is only the first award I've received, not the last.

"Please welcome the film crew of 'The Night Is Coming' to the stage to receive their award."

The guest was invited.

Ye Chen and the others from the film and television company stood up and went on stage together to receive the award.

After going on stage and saying a few words, Ye Chen and his men left the stage.

It's just an ordinary award for best new director, nothing to say too much about. They'll be coming up several more times later.

I'll talk too much now; I'll have to wait until I'm on stage to say something.

"snort."

Peng Heqi remained unconvinced even as Ye Chen stepped down from the stage.

He and Ye Chen each have an award now, so they're evenly matched. Next up is the Best Visual Effects award, which will definitely be his.

Peng Heqi was confident because his father had personally assured him of it.

Just as Peng Heqi had predicted, the next award to be presented was for Best Visual Effects, with Ye Chen's "The Night Is Coming" and Peng Heqi's "Confession of Youth" both nominated.

In addition, there are several other strong films competing with it, and these films should not be underestimated.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the award presenter on stage slowly opened the final list of winners.

Everyone strained their ears, wondering who would win the Best Visual Effects award this time!
