Soon, the official Golden Flower Award ceremony began—Everyone stopped focusing on the matter with Xiao He, sitting up straight and beginning to wait for the awards ceremony.
"The winner of this session's Golden Flower Award for Best Actor is—"
When the suspenseful music rang out once more, several groups of people in the venue held their breath, their gazes burning as they looked at the person on stage.
The presenter responsible for unveiling the suspense deliberately swept a teasing gaze over the people in the audience, while the camera beside them very timely focused on several of the hot nominees. Several boxes appeared on the large screen, each showing the faces of these nominees.
Xiao He's face appeared in the top right corner.
Compared to the heavy atmosphere online, Xiao He's face showed little expression; he just politely gave a slight nod towards the camera.
In the back rows of the spectator seats, Mother Xiao clenched one hand into a fist, while the other held up her phone aimed at the people below. Even though from her current position, she could only capture her own child's back, her eyes were also fixed intently in that direction.
At this moment, Mother Xiao inexplicably felt a nervousness reminiscent of checking Xiao He's college entrance exam results years ago.
No, perhaps more accurately, she hadn't been this nervous even when Xiao He's college entrance exam results came out.
Someone sat down beside her again. Mother Xiao turned her head and saw it was Xiao Liu who had returned.
Before she could even greet Liu Rulan, she heard the name called out by the person on stage—
"‘No Bait’, Shu Yuxiu, Xiao He!"
The next moment, enthusiastic applause erupted in the venue. The several boxes split on the large silver screen were instantly taken over by the young man's figure. The handsome young man, facing the gaze of the camera and everyone's eyes, smiled calmly, stood up, hugged the director and other crew members beside him, and very openly waved to everyone in the camera's view.
Finally, amidst the cheers around him, he walked towards the direction of the stage.
"Ahhh, fantastic! It's Brother Xiao! It's Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Chen below was also so excited he was about to cry. At this moment, no matter how contemptuous, mocking, resentful, or slanderous the online public opinion was, it no longer mattered as much, because everything was already decided—
Xiao He, Dual Best Actor!
Everyone's efforts had not been in vain!
Xiao He deserved to become a better actor! No one could hinder his progress!
This was also the first time Mother Xiao had participated in such a grand and solemn occasion. Her hands were shaking with excitement, and she subconsciously grabbed the Liu Rulan beside her, unusually emotional with a choked sob: "It's Xiao He! It really is my son!"
Liu Rulan paused. Although the recent developments had already let her know the result, a smile still spread across her face: "Mm, he truly is outstanding enough."
"Wonderful, just wonderful."
Mother Xiao murmured excitedly, her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the person on stage, feeling a sense of pride at finally witnessing her son's success.
On the stage, Xiao He had long prepared his speech. After accepting the Golden Flower Award trophy, he calmly looked at the people below.
In their eyes were genuine blessings, hidden resentment of unwillingness, and ambitions unwilling to be left behind.
There were people he knew, and people he didn't. There were familiar friends, and strangers he had never interacted with.
At this moment, everyone's gaze was focused on him, so scorching hot.
Yet Xiao He felt no pressure, not even much nervousness. He simply adjusted the microphone in front of him slightly, then began his speech.
"Thank you, everyone. At this moment, holding this award, a thousand words come to mind."
"First, I want to thank the ‘No Bait’ production team, thank Director Ning Jiaqi..."
And in the live stream rooms, after witnessing Xiao He winning his second Best Actor award in one go, the Little Box fans cheered excitedly.
Although they already had the first trophy as a foundation, facing the upcoming Dual Best Actor title, they were also overjoyed, immediately starting to spread the news across various platforms.
However, there was another group of people expressing different views.
The rumors preemptively spread online became reality, and everyone immediately started arguing fiercely. But this didn't affect Xiao He's smooth speech on stage in the slightest.
His performance also became evidence for many anti-fans to criticize, thinking Xiao He's side must have known in advance that he would receive the award, hence preparing the speech.
This point of criticism almost made the Little Box fans furious, and they directly threw out Xiao He's speeches from various platforms.
After finishing his speech, Xiao He smoothly walked down from the stage.
Passing by the front-row judging panel, his steps were composed. Without the slightest pause, he walked straight through the crowd and returned to his seat.
This left others and the cameras who wanted to secretly observe Xiao He's "reaction" slightly disappointed.
Fortunately, the next award segment soon began.
The ‘No Bait’ crew received nothing in the other award categories. Everyone took it normally, not too disappointed.
Only after the awards event ended, Xiao He was the first to bid farewell to the other crew members.
"I won't be participating in tonight's banquet. Everyone, eat and drink well. I'll be leaving first."
"Alright."
Ning Jiaqi looked at Xiao He with a beaming smile, then suddenly asked in a low voice, "You're joining Yang Li's production team in a while?"
Xiao He was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, a resource found during the last Bai Ming Award."
"An official project, truly good."
Ning Jiaqi said meaningfully, "But those people in the Beijing circle, they've lived too comfortably. Their little schemes are even more numerous than over on your side, and their backgrounds run deep. Keep your wits about you."
"If you really need help, come find me or Xiao Zhuang directly." He patted Xiao He. "Go for it, young man."
Xiao He frowned in thought for a moment, then relaxed, smiling as he thanked Ning Jiaqi: "I understand. Thank you, Director Ning."
Director Ning truly was an important benefactor on his acting journey.
