The host on stage had clearly been given a heads-up, and during the Best Director award ceremony, he deliberately chatted with director Yang Li for a while longer to prolong the time.
Yang Li is a seasoned director, so he naturally understood the host's meaning and didn't mind spending more time getting screen time. So, he stood on the stage happily, holding the trophy, and gave his acceptance speech.
Seeing that a considerable amount of time had passed and there was still no notification from the director in the host's earpiece, he glanced at the empty seats in the distance and the bored expressions of the audience. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Yang Li to leave the stage, and then slowly began to move forward with the schedule.
"Thank you so much, Director Yang Li, for your speech! Now, the most exciting moment has finally arrived—"
The host raised his hand, his gaze falling on the audience. He exchanged a knowing look with the stage assistant director below and turned to show the large screen in the distance behind him.
"There is a group of people who use their acting skills to create souls, their roles to move audiences, and their strength to write legends—let's focus on the most compelling male figures on the big screen and take a look at the outstanding achievements of this year's Best Actor nominees at the Baiming Awards—"
The next moment, the large screen behind them began playing a pre-prepared VCR, which showed performance clips of the six Best Actor nominees in turn.
This serves as a simple introduction, making it easier for people to understand who is who and to get a general impression of the candidates' faces.
When it came to the scene featuring the male lead in "No Bait," the scene chosen was the one where the male lead, Seo Yu-soo, stood in front of his lover's grave, weeping bitterly, but then quickly wiped away his tears.
At this moment, Shu Yuxiu, as a husband who deeply loves his wife, earnestly displays his pain and despair in front of his beloved's grave, his eyes filled with tears and deep love for his wife.
His body was slightly hunched, and he stood in front of the grave for a long time, tears streaming down his face.
Seeing this scene, no one doubts his love and loyalty to his wife.
Until the last tear fell, Shu Yuxiu calmly turned around, his face no longer showing any sorrow or pain, and even the love in his eyes had completely disappeared.
The man, who had initially looked somewhat disheveled, slowly straightened his back, as if he had shed some heavy shackles and been reborn.
Even though there was no scene change or camera angle shift, just a slight upward glance sent chills down everyone's spine.
It was only at this moment that they suddenly realized that everything that had just happened was nothing more than a hypocritical performance by the man.
The existence of women, perhaps in another sense, is a shackle, a cage, a check and balance on men and families.
But at this moment, none of that matters anymore.
Shu Yuxiu has no heart.
He will eventually get everything he wants—
-
It must be said that Xiao He's Shu Yuxiu is truly outstanding among this group of nominees.
First, because he is young; second, because of his acting skills; and third, because of his on-screen presence.
As expected of director Ning Jiaqi.
Even during the Best Actor nomination presentation, Ning Jiaqi's long take transitions were incredibly smooth. This scene not only brought Xiao He's acting skills to life but also perfectly showcased the aesthetics of a great director's camera work, achieving multiple goals at once.
The only regret is that, at such a high-profile moment, when the camera focused on the actor's position, there was only an empty chair.
The actor himself was not present.
Those who witnessed the scene already knew about the situation.
