Chapter 156
The various awards mainly rely on sponsorship, tickets and other means to make money. Xu Qingye and his friends bought seats in the front row, and it was quite lively with the whole family sitting together.
Xu Qingye sat between Shen Mu and Dai Qingyue, but his eyes were not on the stage. Instead, he was concentrating on his mobile phone.
Xu Qingye was following the news online when his phone was suddenly snatched away. He looked up in annoyance and immediately felt deflated when he saw the face of Dai Qingyue.
"Since you're already sitting here, stop playing with your phone and relax."
Dai Qingyue knew what he was thinking. He had read all the Weibo posts posted by Xu Qingye. In fact, he felt that all of Xu Qingye's analyses were quite pertinent. This was the answer in his heart, and he felt that this was enough.
As for what the actual outcome will be, it is not something Xu Qingye can decide alone.
"Aren't you the one who has the most confidence in my brother? Why are you so nervous this time?"
Shen Mu looked at Xu Qingye with some confusion. Usually he always said that Shen Que was a genius and that Shen Que was blessed by his ancestors. After listening to him so many times, Shen Mu almost thought so.
"They were just small fights before, but this time he's the Best Actor. Shen Que's debut time is still a bit short, so it's normal for me to be a little worried."
Shen Que glanced at Shen Mu. Shen Mu had been chasing stars for so many years and was familiar with the twists and turns involved. When she heard what Xu Qingye said, she could only smile helplessly.
Xu Qingye held the mineral water bottle tightly in his hand. He had visited everyone he needed to visit, and he had done everything he could. What happened next was all he could do.
The award ceremony was very long, lasting five or six hours and was broadcast live. The artists were sitting in the audience the entire time and had to maintain basic demeanor, which was actually not an easy task.
Some artists leave early after winning the award, and those behind them can only continue to wait.
The Best Actor and Actress awards were the finale awards, and almost at the end, Xu Qingye was already feeling drowsy.
The audience is luckier than the actors. They don’t have to sit all the time. They can lean back in their chairs to rest or go to the lounge outside to eat something and rest for a while.
Xu Qingye drank his third cup of coffee tonight, and Shen Que's parents were a little tired. At this moment, the award for Best Actress was finally presented.
Xu Qingye listened to the nominations nervously. When the host read out Liu Xiao's name for "Night Spread", Xu Qingye breathed a sigh of relief.
At least she was nominated, and the most respect-saving thing fans said was "nomination is recognition."
Since Liu Xiao was nominated, there is no problem with the predictions he wrote.
Liu Xiao was equally excited when she heard her own name. She reached out to hug the director, but when she was about to hug Chen Que, she stopped and excitedly shook hands instead.
Xu Hong was also shortlisted. A clip of her performing on stage with a group of like-minded people was played on the big screen, and Xu Qingye's heart suddenly settled down.
"The winner this time is definitely Liu Xiao."
"Congratulations to Liu Xiao, the winner of this year's Golden Sparrow Award for Best Actress in 'Night Drifters'."
Xu Qingye's voice and the host's voice sounded almost at the same time, and at the same time, warm applause rang out from the audience. Liu Xiao walked onto the stage excitedly amid the applause.
At the same time, the hot search for "Acting Queen Liu Xiao" also rose rapidly, followed closely by the name of "The No. 1 Gossip King in the Entertainment Industry."
Liu Xiao's selection as Best Actress was a surprise, as many were more optimistic about Xu Hong and Zhuang Xinya. After all, both of them have won Best Actress awards many times and possess both strength and popularity.
Although Liu Xiao has been a golden supporting role for many years, to many people she is too ordinary and unknown. She is like any other middle-aged woman you can see everywhere, and there is no trace of a star in her.
The melon-eating giant: Damn, the prediction really came true. The character of this whistleblower is really stable. The next one will be the best actor. Can it be more accurate?
Flowers Bloom and Fall: I didn’t expect that the Best Actress would be such a surprise. I searched Liu Xiao’s data and found that she is quite talented.
Xianyu: Wow, if the best actress guessed right, how could the best actor be wrong? It's time to pop the champagne! Yes, best actor, yes!
······
The discussion on the Internet was heated. Liu Xiao had already finished her acceptance speech. She bowed and left the stage. Her eye makeup was smudged by her tears, but her steps were full of joy. She excitedly waved to everyone who passed by.
Back in his seat, Liu Xiao was so excited that he couldn't speak while holding the trophy.
The host began to announce the nominations for Best Actor, and video clips of the five works began to rotate on the big screen.
Everyone held their breath. If Shen Que won the Best Actor award again, the crew of "Night Spread" would become the biggest winner of this year's Golden Sparrow Awards.
“My brother!”
Shen Mu looked at the picture on the display screen. She became excited before the host announced the winner.
"Don't get excited yet, calm down."
Xu Qingye grabbed Chen Mu and asked her to sit down quickly, but Xu Qingye's hands were shaking violently, and it was obvious that he was more nervous than Chen Mu.
The host looked at the list in his hand with a surprised expression on his face, and kept the answer in suspense.
The emotions of the people in the audience were aroused, the scrolling images on the large display screen stopped, and Shen Que's name was magnified to the maximum.
The loudest cheers in the audience erupted from where Xu Qingye was, and the live camera couldn't help but turn towards them.
The whole family jumped up excitedly and hugged each other to celebrate, but Shen Que was the calmest one.
He walked onto the stage and the host congratulated him.
"There's a group of people in the audience who are particularly excited. They seem to be your acquaintances. Would you like to say hello to them?"
The supporter smiled and chatted with Shen Que. The director's camera cut to the audience seats. Shen Que took a look and the smile on his face finally grew.
"They are all my family. Being able to stand here today means I have lived up to their expectations of me."
Shen Que waved in the direction of the audience, and the heroine Luo Baozhu responded most enthusiastically, and at the same time grabbed Shen Que's father's hand and waved it.
Looking at the good-looking family on the big screen, the host couldn't help but praise them a few words.
Shen Que accepted the award calmly, but ended up taking the microphone to give his acceptance speech.
Shen Que had given his acceptance speeches many times, but this time, while standing on the stage, his eyes were always looking towards the audience.
"It's my first time standing on the Golden Sparrow Award podium, and I'm incredibly excited. There are so many people I want to thank along the way, but the one I want to thank most is my best friend, Ono-nii. I'm grateful for his guidance and companionship along the way; half of this award belongs to him."
Xu Qingye didn't expect that Shen Que would mention his name so openly and call him Brother Xiaoye in such a cheesy way. Xu Qingye felt his face burning so much that he even wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
After Chen Que flirted so openly, he walked off the stage with the trophy. The audience was talking about it and was very curious about the Ono brother that Chen Que mentioned.
At this moment, a certain group has gone completely crazy!
I won’t ship it if it’s not a weird CP: Damn, what’s the difference between this and the official announcement? When the camera swept across the audience, did you see that Ono was also in the audience? Although he only flashed by, he was still quite handsome.
The most affectionate person in City A: He’s younger, he’s younger, girls!!! Ono-ge, little brother, I’m crazy!
It is indeed true: good friends are our best cover, let alone best friends, ahhhh, who understands! Steamed and sugared is so delicious!
The most affectionate person in City A: I took a screenshot, it’s really handsome, but the quality of the live broadcast is too poor, it’s still a little hard to see.
I won’t support them unless it’s a weird couple: they took a photo together a long time ago, have you lost your memory, the concert [photo], it seems like they have been together for a long time, they have been together before Shen Que debuted, which makes it even more appealing.
Shen Que’s calf hair: Hahahahahahaha, it’s really Xu Qingye, but he has changed a lot over the years. When this photo of three people became popular, my attention was only on Shen Que and his sister, and I didn’t pay much attention to Xu Qingye standing next to them.
I won’t ship them unless they’re a weird couple: Hahaha, Ono-brother wasn’t ugly before, he was just a little rustic. Now he’s become fashionable, hahahaha.
······
The group chat was lively, and Xu Qingye was almost smoking from typing on his phone.
Xu Qingye: What are you doing, what are you doing, what are you doing!!! Brother Xiaoye’s entry has become a trending search, how am I going to live my life in the future!
Xu Qingye: Damn, I’m really impressed. How dare you say anything?
Xu Qingye: Mr. Shen, you didn’t drink the Chinese medicine, did you?
Xu Qingye was furious. He even put on a mask, fearing that reporters might come to block them soon.
The important awards had been presented and many artists had left early. Shen Que sat in his seat without looking at his phone, but just felt the crazy vibration of his phone in his pocket. He knew who had sent him the message without even looking.
As the newly crowned Best Actor and Best Actress, Shen Que and Liu Xiao still had some backstage interviews and photo sessions to attend, so they left much later than the others.
The elders were too old to bear it any longer and went back first. Xu Qingye and Shen Mu stayed behind to prepare to go to the celebration banquet together.
Backstage, the host was still conducting an interview. In addition to movie-related topics, he couldn't help but talk about some personal issues.
Liu Xiao had already married and had children, so there was nothing special to talk about, so the focus of the interview naturally fell on Shen Que.
"I noticed that Shen Que was wearing a rather unusual ring on his hand. So, is Shen Que in love?"
The host looked at the ring on Shen Que's hand. Shen Que raised his hand generously and took a look. The ruby looked very dazzling under the light.
"We are indeed in love, and the relationship is very stable."
Chen Que nodded and answered very frankly. The host was a little surprised. He didn't expect Chen Que to be so cooperative. Many artists would hesitate when it came to personal issues. It was rare to see someone answer directly like Chen Que.
"When the time is right, will you consider making your relationship public?" the host continued to ask. If there was such a cooperative artist, she would have to seize the opportunity to ask more questions.
"Relationships are very private matters, so I don't intend to make them public."
"What if a photo is taken?" the host continued to ask.
"If I were photographed, I would probably neither admit nor deny it, and just let it slide."
After a pleasant chat, Shen Que and Liu Xiao officially got off work. As usual, the crew went to celebrate together, but as soon as they arrived at the door, they were surrounded by a large group of reporters. It took a lot of effort for them to break free from the reporters.
When Xu Qingye saw Chen Que, he wanted to have a big quarrel with him and then have a good talk with him, but his body was very honest and gave him a big hug first.
