168: Lin Pei won the Best Supporting Actor award, but upon going on stage, he slapped the host.
Stephen Chow rolled his eyes.
Damn it.
What's wrong with this guy? Does he want to die? He keeps poking at his sore spots.
Ge You next to him pressed him down firmly, preventing him from rushing onto the stage to hit someone.
"Oh, Star Lord, listen to my advice."
"This guy is crazy, but if you go up and beat him now, it will damage your image."
"Let's beat him after the awards ceremony ends."
Stephen Chow calmed his breathing, feeling that Ge You's words made sense.
So he rolled his eyes at Wu Xiubo and stayed in his seat, not moving.
But damn it, he really wanted to slap that guy right then and there.
At this moment, Deng Chao sat a little further away in the same row, seemingly helpless, but in fact, his eyes were smiling, with a hint of subtle pride shining through.
Who told the organizers to temporarily replace him and find someone else to host?
As a result, they found such a person, and now the scene is so awkward, go ahead and regret it!
On stage.
Shen Teng's teeth were aching, feeling a bit resigned to life.
He couldn't quite handle a chaotic scene of this difficulty, so he could only pretend that Wu Xiubo had just farted and abruptly pulled the conversation back.
"Everyone, next, let's present the Best Supporting Actor award."
"Please welcome our presenters to the stage to present the award."
As the music played, the atmosphere returned to normal.
However, the 'knives' in the live stream hadn't finished floating by.
"I just don't understand, wasn't my Brother Chao hosting quite well? Why was he replaced by someone surnamed Wu this year? The key is this person's emotional intelligence, good heavens, any show could turn into a disaster scene."
"Exactly, just now he said Brother Lin was pretentious, slandered Chinese medicine, and now he's confronting Star Lord. Did he eat explosives before coming on stage?"
"In a live broadcast like this, even if he ate explosives, he shouldn't detonate them. Why is he venting his emotions at the guests?"
"Because of the organizing committee changing hosts, Brother Chao was a little depressed, but as soon as this guy surnamed Wu opened his mouth, Brother Chao's confidence couldn't be hidden at all."
"The most miserable is Brother Teng, a comedian looking grim all night, indeed feeling pain everywhere, haha, so pitiful."
"That guy surnamed Wu really deserves a slap. If it weren't for Grandpa Ge stopping him just now, Star Lord would have gone up and slapped him."
"In this kind of occasion, actors all care about their image. Although it sounds satisfying, I guess no one would dare to go up and hit someone directly."
"...
At this moment, there was a moment of silence.
Because the big screen had just shown clips of the nominated actors in their films, and the final winner was about to be announced.
Of course, the performances of the nominated actors were all very good.
But Lin Pei's segment in operation red sea, especially his gaze at the end, mourning his fallen comrades, made everyone's noses tingle and tears well up.
Some actresses even wiped away tears.
"Who is this actor? Why does he look so familiar? His ability to evoke emotion is too strong, he made me cry."
"The famous 'father of the national football team,' the new God of Gamblers, Lin Pei, haven't you heard of him? But his main profession is acting."
"Now that you mention it, I remember. Is he that handsome guy who can throw a Flying Dagger and open a safe in one second?"
"I just found out too, it seems to be all him... He was also the one who took everyone's pulse just now. No wonder Brother Teng said he was an eighteen-skill all-rounder artist; he really is all-around."
"The key is that his acting skills are too good. With that look in his eyes, it feels like even Teacher Zhang Ze couldn't match it."
"Indeed, only professional actors from a proper drama school know how amazing he really is."
"After watching this clip, I want to go watch the movie right away."
"...
The emotionally sensitive Guo Jingming couldn't hold back either for a moment, wiping away tears with a tissue.
"Ah, this is too touching..."
Most actors are emotionally rich and have good empathy, not to mention Lin Pei's performance was too infectious.
However, the so-called top-tier actors beside Guo Jingming swallowed their tears.
They looked at Guo Jingming with a hint of disappointment.
"Hmph, why is Director Guo crying? His acting was just average."
"Hmm? Why am I sniffling and my eyes are red? Ahem... maybe I have a cold."
...On stage, all the short films had been played.
Presenters Yan Ni and Zhang Jiayi began to announce the winning actor.
Zhang Jiayi thoughtfully helped Yan Ni open the card, letting Yan Ni read it.
"The winner of this Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor is..."
Seeing the name on the card, Yan Ni covered her face with her arm and chuckled twice.
"Oh, this person is amazing. The Young Man is not only handsome but also skilled in Chinese medicine."
"The winner, Lin Pei!"
Everyone in the audience looked at Lin Pei in tacit understanding, offering applause, feeling that the award was well-deserved.
After hugging and shaking hands with the seniors who congratulated him in the front row, Lin Pei walked onto the stage to receive the award.
The live stream erupted.
"Wow, Brother Lin is so handsome, his legs must be 1.4 meters long."
"There's no suspense about Brother Lin winning this award. When I went to the cinema to watch the movie, it made me cry so much. Brother Lin acted too well."
"Congratulations, Brother Lin, a true actor."
"Oh, Brother Lin is so calm even when receiving an award. I feel more excited than him."
"...
After all, it was his first Golden Rooster Award, and Lin Pei was actually very excited, he was just reining in his emotions.
After going on stage, he was about to walk directly to Yan Ni to receive the award, but he suddenly saw the host Wu Xiubo on the side roll his eyes at him.
Lin Pei then stopped beside him.
"Teacher Wu Xiubo?"
Wu Xiubo didn't expect Lin Pei to walk directly in front of him, and his expression, though seemingly blank, made people's hearts pound, quite frightening.
His voice trembled.
"Wh-what's wrong?"
The audience and the netizens in the live stream didn't understand what was happening.
"What's going on? Shouldn't the actor go directly to receive the award?"
"Perhaps the host is advising the actor about something? They're not using mics, so we can't hear them."
"No, didn't you see Wu Xiubo just rolled his eyes at Brother Lin? The atmosphere between them clearly isn't right."
"No, this Wu Xiubo just confronted Star Lord, and Star Lord and Brother Lin are good friends, I heard they even became sworn brothers. Is Brother Lin going to teach him a lesson on stage for Star Lord?"
"No way, this is a live broadcast of an awards ceremony, and it's on stage. Although I really want to see Brother Lin beat him up, this occasion isn't appropriate..."
"...
While everyone was discussing animatedly, unanimously believing that Lin Pei wouldn't hit someone in public, a crisp "slap" suddenly echoed from the stage.
The sound was so loud that it was picked up by Shen Teng's microphone nearby.
It took a while for everyone to react and understand what had just happened.
Lin Pei actually slapped Wu Xiubo directly across the face!
