Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore Chapter 284: “And the Best Supporting Actor Goes To—”

"Best Supporting Actor goes to—"

"Teacher Qin is a senior, a role model worth learning from, of course I know Teacher Qin."

Xiao He responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"If Teacher Qin has nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

With that, Xiao He turned to leave.

"Don't you want to know in advance who won this award?"

Xiao He stopped in his tracks.

He glanced at Qin Yuezhang and asked with a half-smile, "Oh? Teacher Qin actually has such great influence to know the award results in advance?"

Qin Yuezhang flicked the ash from his cigarette without answering Xiao He's question, instead saying, "So people shouldn't be too arrogant. Haven't you heard that there's always soone better, and skies beyond skies?"

"You've reached where you are today mainly through luck, but luck is worthless in the face of absolute strength."

"Teacher Qin is saying I'm lucky?" Xiao He chuckled, "That's true, I do think I'm quite fortunate to receive so many people's affection, to continuously improve, and even have the opportunity to be nominated for the White Magnolia Awards, competing on the sa stage with impressive seniors. Regardless of the final outco, I believe I've already surpassed many people. Thank you for the complint, Teacher Qin."

Playing dumb? Who couldn't do that?

Qin Yuezhang choked on his words.

"If Teacher Qin stopped just to complint , then I'll be going now. Goodbye, Teacher Qin."

Xiao He had nothing more to say to this person.

"This year's Best Supporting Actor isn't you."

Qin Yuezhang's voice ca again.

Xiao He's expression remained unchanged, his deanor completely composed, showing no disappointnt or embarrassnt upon hearing this news: "Oh."

"This is just a warning. Next ti, don't randomly take things that don't belong to you."

As he spoke, Qin Yuezhang threw his cigarette to the ground, then crushed it with his pointed leather shoes.

"So, Teacher Qin manipulated the results behind the scenes?"

Xiao He directly pursued the question.

Qin Yuezhang naturally wasn't foolish enough to answer such a question. He glanced at Xiao He without replying, rely curling the corner of his mouth as he raised his hand to pat Xiao He's shoulder, his tone sinister: "Young man, keep working hard."

Then he directly left the balcony.

Xiao He watched this person's retreating back and sneered, spitting out two words:

"—Pretentious fraud."

If he were an ordinary actor, he might have been intimidated by Qin Yuezhang's warning by now, believing that Qin Yuezhang truly had such great power to take away his Best Supporting Actor award.

But unfortunately, Xiao He wasn't an ordinary actor, nor was he a newcor who knew nothing about Qin Yuezhang.

People do indeed fear and dread the unknown, but Xiao He already fully understood Qin Yuezhang's background and family circumstances, clearly knowing what cards Qin Yuezhang held.

The ability to manipulate things through high-level connections, making capital intervene to change award recipients—such situations might indeed exist, especially given the rumors in previous years that don't arise without cause.

But with Qin Yuezhang's current state?

Their own ss wasn't even cleaned up yet, their heads heated with anxiety—where would they find the hands to reach into the judges' panel here?

Xiao He found it laughable.

This Qin Yuezhang truly lived up to being the "Crown Prince" who rose through "Xingchen Film Industry"—his skill with manipulative rhetoric was truly exceptional.

Clearly already knowing from the judges' panel that he wouldn't win the award this ti, he still deliberately said ambiguous things to him before the results were announced, making it seem as if his original failure was due to Qin Yuezhang's deliberate intervention.

With just a few words, he instantly elevated his own status and thods while threatening and warning Xiao He—this ability was truly impressive.

Tsk tsk, too bad he didn't know that Xiao He had already "stripped him bare."

The current Xiao He didn't take him seriously in the slightest.

...

The red carpet ceremony in the front venue officially ended, and the awards ceremony in the main venue was about to begin.

Xiao He followed the production team mbers and sat in a middle-front position according to the seating arrangent for the "Starry Radiance" crew.

Next to him was Zhang Mo.

Zhang Mo twitched his nostrils, slling the cigarette smoke on Xiao He, and teased him: "Went for a smoke without calling ?"

Many actors were heavy smokers, though they never exposed this in front of caras, and Zhang Mo was no exception.

But Zhang Mo couldn't quite rember whether Xiao He used to smoke or not.

It seed that back during filming, when several smoking buddies gathered to puff away, they never saw Xiao He.

"Wasn't ."

Xiao He curled his lips, wanting to say "it was a pretentious fraud," but stopped himself in ti and changed the subject: "Teacher Zhang, nervous?"

Zhang Mo chuckled lightly: "I've already won once before, what's there to be nervous about—you're the one who's nervous, right?"

Xiao He smiled without speaking.

He had been sowhat nervous before, but now that he knew the outco, he wasn't too nervous anymore.

The awards ceremony opening began with singing again, with a group of sowhat familiar actors performing on stage.

Then the host ca on stage and began delivering an uplifting speech, promoting the organizers' concepts and original intentions, before finally shifting focus to the formal White Magnolia Awards presentation.

The first awards presented were for behind-the-scenes personnel, including Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Screenwriting, and so on.

In this segnt, "Starry Radiance" screenwriter Tan Yuan successfully won the Best Original Screenplay Project Award.

Instead, director Wen Hongyuan missed out on the Best Director Award.

For such awards, it's generally impossible for the sa production team to simultaneously win both Best Director and Best Screenplay, and since Wen Hongyuan and Tan Yuan were a married couple, whoever won made everyone happy. So when this result ca out, Wen Hongyuan was genuinely happy, hugging his beloved tightly in front of the caras.

This couple had weathered storms together for so many years, winning no shortage of awards. Yet whether failing or succeeding, they always remained by each other's side, quietly doing their work behind the scenes, never publicly marketing their marital relationship, yet they were one of the rare truly loving couples in the industry.

Xiao He also applauded excitedly, genuinely happy for them.

After this segnt ended, it was ti for the performance category awards.

The first to co was the Best Supporting Actor Award.

Although he already knew the answer in his heart, when the host built suspense and various caras deliberately focused on the several nominees, Xiao He still clenched his palms.

The host glanced at the card in hand, slowly scanned the audience, then said with a smiling face and clear voice—

"The winner of the 31st Shanghai Television Festival Best Supporting Actor is—"

"Luo Jiashi!"

When he heard this na, Xiao He finally exhaled, feeling like the shoe that had been hanging overhead had finally dropped.

But Xiao He felt no disappointnt or regret.

He raised his hands and applauded with a smile for this actor nad Luo Jiashi.

Actually, Luo Jiashi was also quite young, only thirty-six this year, with unremarkable looks that could only be called proper. He wasn't one of the currently popular traffic actors. The television drama he participated in was a cri investigation the, where he played a young police officer confronting drug lords to the end. In the plot, when this character was about to be tortured to death, Luo Jiashi indeed delivered impressively morable acting, comparable to Xiao He's performance in ng Zetian's death scene.

The only difference was that Xiao He played a villain, while Luo Jiashi played a hero.
