Xiao He and Xiao Chen had a very pleasant time in Milan.
However, they did not linger. After celebrating with everyone, they flew directly back to Carlos Island, where they were filming, overnight.
By the time we landed, it was already past midnight.
Xiao He felt sore all over, and his bones seemed to be creaking when he moved.
Fortunately, the resort had everything they needed, and even at two or three in the morning, there were still people to serve them. Xiao He didn't stand on ceremony and asked them to send two massage therapists over to "loosen his muscles" for him and Xiao Chen.
The old master craftsman had a really strong grip; Xiao He lay on the bed, experiencing both pain and pleasure, while also reluctantly opening his system panel to check his points.
Since the release of "Law of the Jungle," his points have seen another small peak. Excluding the previous draws and guaranteed rewards he had used, he now has nearly 300,000 points.
It's a pity that so many things happened before, otherwise we might be very close to reaching a million points by now!
Xiao He was both excited and melancholy.
His physical fitness still needs improvement; I wonder when he'll be able to accumulate a million points and draw from the high-level prize pool...
If I can improve my physical fitness, I won't be as tired from traveling back and forth to these places in the future.
But then, Xiao He discovered a key point—
"Damn, wait a minute, why would I spend points to improve my physical fitness so I can continue being a beast of burden?"
Xiao He, who was about to fall asleep, suddenly sat up.
What's the difference between this and oxen and horses buying themselves coffee to boost their energy for work?!
But then, his exhausted body caused him to collapse heavily.
Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, I'm already doing enough to live on, and points are just something external now.
So sleeping is definitely more important after all...
...
In the days that followed, Xiao He continued filming on set, while Liu Rulan remained in Shanghai to handle matters related to her studio.
Before we knew it, it was the end of May.
On that day, the official website and Weibo account of the Shanghai TV Festival simultaneously released the shortlist for the film *Bai Mulan*.
And on the list, there was Xiao He's name in "Shining Stars"!
At the same time, the internet also reacted, starting a new round of hype and competition.
When Xiao He learned of this news, he had just finished filming the scene of repairing the car. He slid out from under the car and looked at Xiao Chen with some surprise.
"Yes, Brother Xiao, he's the best supporting actor!"
Xiao Chen excitedly waved her phone.
"Xiao He, congratulations!"
The actor who plays Zhu Penglin smiled and congratulated Xiao He.
Xiao He quickly waved his hand: "That's still a long way off. Thank you for your kind words, Teacher Zhu."
Coincidentally, the actor who plays Zhu Penglin also has the surname Zhu and is named Zhu Huiwen.
Zhu Huiwen is only 30 years old this year, which is relatively young among the actors in the crew. However, his popularity and fame are now far behind Xiao He's.
"Being shortlisted is already a great achievement; you should have confidence in yourself."
Zhu Huiwen gave Xiao He a thumbs up.
Judging from Xiao He's current abilities, if he can be shortlisted once, he can be shortlisted twice, three times... winning the award is probably just a matter of time.
Those who lack real talent and remain stuck in supporting roles are the ones who have no chance of ever achieving their dreams...
Zhu Huiwen became saddened.
Xiao He was unaware of Zhu Huiwen's sadness. He smiled amicably at him, then took Xiao Chen aside and began to discuss the Magnolia Award.
Who are my competitors? Do I still have a chance?
"Brother Xiao, you can't be so unambitious! You can definitely do it!"
