Chapter 334, Part 32

334:

However, before director Zhou Chuan's script was handed to Mu Shaowu, in December, the nominees for the Golden Osmanthus Award were announced, and Ye Qingxi, Mu Shaowu, Feng Que, Qi Yi, and the film "Summer" were among them.

As the most prestigious film award in China, the Golden Osmanthus Awards' nomination list has delighted fans of Mu Shaowu, Feng Que, and Ye Qingxi.

[Ahhh, this is great! We have "Summer" again!]

[Go Shao Wu! Win Best Actor this time!]

[Go, Xiaoxi! Win another trophy!]

[Director Na Feng and Qi Yi, let's go! Our entire "Summer" crew, let's go!]

Mu Shaowu: ...

Mu Shaowu thought their idea was quite wishful thinking.

However, he was still very happy inside.

It wasn't for any other reason than that he had never attended an awards ceremony so frequently before.

Of course, there is also a regret, namely that his supporting role in "The Killing" was not nominated for the Golden Osmanthus Award for Best Supporting Actor.

However, Mu Shaowu has always been humble in his film career.

He is well aware that he is far from being able to win an award, so he is already very happy to be nominated for one award and does not need both roles to be nominated.

Ye Qingxi, on the other hand, was rather sullen.

"Dad, you acted very well in 'The Killing' too, so how come Uncle Luo Xiao was nominated for Best Actor but you weren't nominated for Best Supporting Actor?"

"Of course, Uncle Luo Xiao acted better."

Ye Qingxi pouted, thinking that her father wasn't bad either.

Director Xu Hong even made a special phone call to comfort Mu Shaowu.

He had worked with Mu Shaowu once and had a good impression of him, so he didn't want him to be too upset about this.

Fortunately, Mu Shaowu was not sad, and Director Xu Hong said with relief, "That's good."

"Next time, I'll ask you to be the male lead."

Mu Shaowu smiled and said, "A male supporting role is also acceptable."

As long as the script is good and the character has depth, Mu Shaowu doesn't necessarily have to play the male lead.

Upon hearing this, director Xu Hong felt that he didn't have any of the common problems of today's popular celebrities. After hanging up the phone, he praised him to his friend.

In February, the Golden Osmanthus Award ceremony was held as scheduled the week before the New Year.

Ye Qingxi wore a small blazer that was provided to him by the luxury brand that Mu Shaowu endorses, and it was very similar to Mu Shaowu's suit.

He walked calmly and gracefully at the Golden Osmanthus Awards ceremony, with Mu Shaowu, Feng Que, and Qi Yi walking beside him.

This time, Ye Qingxi was nominated for two awards: Best Newcomer and Best Supporting Actor.

However, Mu Shaowu had analyzed the situation with him before and felt that his chances of winning Best Supporting Actor were slim. He would either remain Best Newcomer or probably not win either.

Ye Qingxi thought so too.

So when the awards were announced, the image of the Best Newcomer Award was frozen on Qiao Tian's face, and when the award presenter called out "Ye Qingxi", Ye Qingxi was not surprised at all.

He calmly stood up, walked to the podium, and after receiving the trophy, delivered his acceptance speech.

As expected, the Best Supporting Actor award was later given to someone else.

Surprisingly, Feng Que won the Best Director award this time.

He formally thanked the organizers and judges on stage, and then said, "Of course, I would also like to thank the actors in our crew, especially Mu Shaowu. As we all know, the success or failure of a film depends not only on the director, but also on the screenwriter and the actors. I wrote this story, and Mu Shaowu acted in it. He is the lead actor in this story, and he acted very well and very realistically, which is why this story is so moving. I am very grateful to him, and I truly think he is an excellent actor."

Mu Shaowu was taken aback by his words and was momentarily stunned.

Ye Qingxi, on the other hand, clapped excitedly.

After Feng Que finished speaking, he stepped down from the stage.

He sat back down next to Mu Shaowu, who seemed somewhat at a loss.

He wanted to say something to Feng Que, but didn't know how, so he simply said, "Thank you."

“You’re welcome,” Feng Que said. “This is my personal award, so I won’t give you the trophy.”

Mu Shaowu found his words somewhat amusing, "It's as if I want your trophy."

“Of course you don’t want it,” Feng Que said. “But actually I really want to give it to you, but you wouldn’t accept it now, and it wouldn’t make any sense.”

"So, when you win an award later, I'll give you mine and you'll give me yours, and we can exchange trophies."

Mu Shaowu: ...

Hearing his confident words, Mu Shaowu asked softly, "Are you sure I can get it?"

“Of course,” Feng Que said. “I have a good eye for people. Mu Shaowu, you can definitely do it.”

Mu Shaowu couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't really understand where Feng Que got such confidence, but how to put it, it was really good to feel like someone was always believing in and encouraging him.

It's as if one day he could actually win the Best Actor award.

"Then I will try my best," Mu Shaowu said.

“I’ll go with you.” Feng Que’s tone was gentle.

Unsurprisingly, Mu Shaowu did not win the Best Actor award at the Golden Osmanthus Awards.

It wasn't Luo Xiao either.

He is a veteran actor with consistently solid acting skills.

Later, the Best Actress award was given to an actress who made a significant breakthrough in film this year.

Mu Shaowu and Qi Yi were prepared for this and were not too disappointed.

On the contrary, Ye Qingxi held Mu Shaowu's hand and said, "Dad, you acted really well. You are the best actor in my heart."

After a while, she turned to look at Qi Yi and said, "Sister Qi Yi, you acted really well, really. You played both roles so well. You will definitely win an award next time."

Qi Yi was amused by him, "Aren't you busy? You just comforted your dad and now you're comforting me."

Ye Qingxi: ...That is indeed quite busy, after all, these two awards are back-to-back.

"But thank you, Xiaoxi. I'll treat you to dinner next time I win an award."

"Yes," Ye Qingxi replied, "I'm sure I'll get to eat this meal."

Qi Yi laughed even more happily, thinking that he really knew how to talk.

When Ye Qingxi and Mu Shaowu returned home, they were greeted with ribbons and cheers as soon as they entered the house.

Mu Shaoting spoke first, "Xiao Xi, you're amazing!"

Mu Shaoyan also said, "Let me see your trophy."

Mu Zheng patted Ye Qingxi's head, a smile in his eyes.

Qin Luan asked with concern, "Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"

Qin Cheng happily said to Ye Qingxi, "Congratulations."

Mu Feng just looked at them without saying anything.

It was already quite late, so everyone stopped making a fuss for too long. After expressing their blessings and joy, they went to their bedrooms.

Ye Qingxi changed her clothes, told Mu Shaowu, and then picked up the trophy to go find Mu Feng.

Mu Feng was about to go to sleep when he heard the knock on the door. He said calmly, "Come in."

The next second, Ye Qingxi poked her little head in and walked in.

At the same time, Mu Shaowu also heard a knock on the door.

He went outside and saw Mu Zheng standing at the door.

"Here." Mu Zheng handed him the car keys. "New year, new look. I'll get you a new car."

Mu Shaowu was surprised, "Why are you suddenly changing my car?"

"To comfort you," Mu Zheng said frankly.

Mu Shaowu smiled and said, "I won't say anything nice to comfort you."

Mu Zheng placed the car keys in his hand and said sincerely, "One day, you will definitely get your own trophy."

Mu Shaowu was just teasing him, but he didn't expect him to actually comfort him, which touched him a little.

"Isn't she quite good at talking? How come she was like that with my sister-in-law back then..."

Mu Zheng: ...

Mu Zheng looked at him, "Who's the one who can't speak now?"

Mu Shaowu smiled and waved the car keys in his hand, "Thanks~"

Mu Zheng was finally satisfied and turned to leave his door.

Mu Shaowu returned to his room, placed his car keys on the coffee table, and picked up his phone, which was also on the coffee table. He then saw four unread messages on his phone.

Mu Shaoting: [Actually, I think you acted really well, bro. I don't know what those judges were thinking, maybe they were blind. Don't worry about it, bro. Here, take these two tickets. You can go to a hot spring with Xiaoxi to relax.]

Mu Shaoting: [Image]

The other two are Mu Shaoyan.

Mu Shaoyan: [[Image][Image][Image][Image]]

Mu Shaowu: [Which of these watches do you like? I've earned a lot of money this year, so you can choose one you like as a gift.]

Mu Shaowu smiled and thought his younger brother and sister were quite cute at times.

Mu Feng looked at Ye Qingxi, who had suddenly appeared, and said gently, "Didn't you say you were going back to sleep?"

"I'm going to sleep now," Ye Qingxi said.

He approached Mu Feng and handed the trophy he had hidden behind his back to Mu Feng, saying, "We agreed before that I would give it to you when I win another award."

Mu Feng looked at the golden laurel leaf trophy in his hand.

He didn't expect Ye Qingxi's second trophy to come so quickly.

He never expected that Ye Qingxi would be so eager to deliver it to him.

Yet it seems perfectly normal.

Everything about him cannot be measured by the standards of an ordinary child.

He always walked very fast, far ahead of his peers.

And they were always looking around, afraid that they hadn't taken care of anyone.

Mu Feng looked at him gently and silently.

He slowly took the trophy from Ye Qingxi's hand.

The golden laurel leaves shimmered and sparkled under the crystal chandelier, looking so beautiful and dazzling.

Just like the child in front of him.

Just as he hoped for his future.

"Thank you." Mu Feng smiled. "I like it very much."

Ye Qingxi laughed too.

"Then I'll go back now, Grandpa, you should go to sleep early."

"You should go to bed early too."

"Um."

After agreeing, Ye Qingxi turned and walked out, waving to Mu Feng as she left.

Mu Feng raised his hand and waved at him.

Ye Qingxi then closed the door and turned to walk back.

Mu Feng looked at the trophy in his hand, placed it on the bedside table, thought for a moment, then stood up and placed it in the display case in his study.

This place contains many trophies.

There were certificates Mu Zheng received when he was in school, certificates Mu Shaoting received when he attended extracurricular tutoring classes, certificates Mu Shaowu received in elementary school, and little red flowers from Mu Shaoyan's kindergarten.

These were all collected and organized by his former wife.

Later, she left, and Mu Feng took over the cleaning of the display case year after year.

He placed Ye Qingxi's trophy next to Mu Shaowu's certificate.

"I heard from them that this is a very prestigious award. It's a pity you're no longer here, otherwise you would be so happy to see it."

"Just like if you saw him, you would definitely like him too."

The bright moon hangs high outside the window.

The photo of Shao Xian on the desk shows her gentle and quiet demeanor.

Mu Feng thought to himself that he seemed to miss his lover.
