Winged Neko: Thank you @Sushu for the ko-fi ❤️❤️❤️ Finally have the third extra chapter out!

Shen Qingshu unconsciously grabbed his hand and silently said in his heart, it must be Bai Xuege, their crew must win an award!

Bai Xuege’s hands hurt from being grabbed by him, and he thought, give it to him quickly, otherwise he is afraid that even if he can bear it, their producer will not be able to bear it.

God, he really wants to go to the bathroom. Obviously, he wasn’t so nervous about the college entrance exam.

The special hosts were still joking with each other on the stage, and Shen Qingshu’s heart was already in his throat. Bai Xuege only felt like he wanted to go to the bathroom, while Han Cheng outside felt that those special hosts were too busy. Can’t they hurry up? Is it sorrow or joy? Hurry up and give him the knife ! !

In the midst of everyone’s expectations, the special host finally opened the envelope and said, “Wow, it’s him. He’s a talented person that comes out from generation to generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years. I didn’t expect that he could win such an honour at such a young age…”

Shen Qingshu suddenly opened his eyes wide, young ! ! ! Isn’t that xiao Bai? Who here is younger than him!

He immediately grasped Bai Xuege’s hand even tighter.

Bai Xuege: … QAQ it hurts.

He was sad and suffering, but suddenly heard a loud voice on the platform: “Winner of the best supporting actor of this years Golden Laurel Award – Bai Xuege!”

Bai Xuege: ! ! !

Bai Xuege looked at Shen Qingshu in disbelief and said, “It’s me! It’s me! It’s me!”

Snowflake fans wept with joy and said, [Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah it really is our didi ! ! !]

[Cao Cao Cao, it’s really our didi!]

[Didi is great ! ! ! The youngest best supporting actor at the Golden Laurel Awards ! ! !

[Wuwuwu, I’m so excited that I’m about to cry. Thanks to Shen Qingshu, thanks to “Ephemera!”]

[Thanks to Shen Qingshu, thanks to “Ephemera!”, Shen Qingshu charge ah!]

[Charge charge charge “Ephemera” crew, come on!]

[Keep going, keep going, “Ephemera!”]

Shen Qingshu was stunned for a moment before realising that their crew had an award! ! There is an award ! ! No need to hang zero anymore ! !

“Great, xiao Bai, you’re great!” He hugged Bai Xuege excitedly.

Bai Xuege immediately floated up. He said that he was so good at acting and so handsome, as long as they weren’t blind, they would definitely choose him!

He patted Shen Qingshu’s back gracefully, pushed him aside, stood up, and walked calmly towards the stage.

Hou Chaorui watched on, his heart filled with reluctance and regret.

From the beginning, he knew that Bai Xuege would be a formidable opponent, and Chen Ai had much more room to shine than him. However, he thought that his acting experience was richer than Bai Xuege and his acting skills were stronger than Bai Xuege, so he should still defeat Bai Xuege.

However, the award selection is not based on all of your works. They only look at your nominated work and only look at your role. The other roles of Bai Xuege may be very ordinary, and his acting skills are not perfect. However, his Chen Ai is outstanding for all to see. His own youthful spirit conforms to Chen Ai’s frivolity, and under the guidance of Mei Ruo, he performs Chen Ai’s complex and tragic story.

So he won the prize, which was expected and reasonable.

Hou Chaorui glanced at Shen Qingshu and sighed quietly, he missed his chance.

Bai Xuege walked onto the podium, took the trophy, and smiled at the audience.

He had already prepared his acceptance speech before coming, so he was at ease at the moment. Not even remembering that a minute ago, he wanted to go to the bathroom from nerves.

“Finally, I would like to emphatically thank Shen Qingshu, the producer and lead actor of our play. If it hadn’t been for him to invite me at the time, and if our relationship hadn’t been so good, I wouldn’t have unconditionally agreed to play the role of Chen Ai, let alone win this award. At the beginning, when I tarted this movie, there were many times when I couldn’t grasp the feeling of Chen Ai. It was he who accompanied me over and over again to analyse Chen Ai’s psychology and help me understand the feeling, helping me step by step become closer to Chen Ai. Director Mei Ruo has repeatedly corrected my shortcomings and developed my potential, letting me believe that I can also play such complex roles. So this award belongs not only to me, but also to Shen Qingshu, who brought me closer to Chen Ai, to Director Mei Ruo, who patiently guided me, and to our crew “Ephemera.”

“I will always remember last winter, remember the filming of ‘Ephemera’, and remember the days when everyone worked together. So, thank you, Shen Qingshu, for giving me such a challenging role, and thank you for allowing me to win my first film award. Thank you.”

Shen Qingshu listened to his words and unconsciously smiled.

The camera happened to catch his smile, as he looked at Bai Xuege with a pure and beautiful smile.

The QingBai CP fans instantly exploded into fireworks:

[Too sweet, too sweet, our QingBai are the sweetest ! !]

[Friendship line is really good ! ! I knew they must be good friends ! !]

[QingBai is real, QingQing and xiao Bai really have each other in their hearts!]

“Ah, ah, ah, I’m done, I’m back again, I’ve crawled back from the ChengQing pit again. QingQing, please look at our xiao Bai, he really loves you!]

Han Cheng: ? ? ? ! ! !

How can I crawl back here ? !

Don’t you know that the official pairing is ChengQin ? !

Crawl back now!

Otherwise, be careful of me coming to push you back!

Han Cheng snorted while looking at the scattered blessings on the screen, and condescendingly sent a blessing comment to Bai Xuege, thinking that Shen Qingshu might feel better now.

——He is not only an actor, but also a producer, so what he cares about is not only whether he has won a prize, but also whether their crew has won a prize. Now that Bai Xuege has won the prize, his crew has finally won their first award, so Shen Qingshu’s heart as a producer should be relieved.

All that remains is his personal award.

The host has announced the best film soundtrack award and best picture award, now it was time for the Best editing award.

Shen Qingshu held his breath, but the award was not given to their crew, but to another literary and artistic film.

This is very normal. Their film is not a pure literary film, and the award ceremony always prefers literary films.

The bullet screen became dissatisfied again and claimed, [Shouldn’t this be given to “Ephemera”?]

[Although “Ephemera” is not a purely literary film, the editing of “Ephemera” is clearly no worse than the award-winning film!]

[If “Ephemera” loses, it should be because of the 5 billion box office explosion. He is too successful in business, so the organisers will definitely suppress some of their awards, otherwise it would be like letting him stand alone.]

[It must be because it’s not a literary film. If it were a literary film, it would definitely win several more awards.]

[Now is there only one best actor left for “Ephemera”, Shen Qingshu?]

[Just pass this one, it is impossible to get it. The organisers are suppressing “Ephemera”, they are unwilling to give film awards, let alone individual awards.]

[Yes, especially since Bai Xuege has already won the best supporting actor, it’s impossible for the male lead and supporting male lead of the same movie to win, so it’s definitely impossible for Shen Qingshu.]

[Wah, I cried so loudly. Obviously, Shen Qingshu acted so well. Su Qing is my favourite character in these two years!]

[Although I think both Bai Xuege and Shen Qingshu should win, I really haven’t seen a best actor and a best supporting actor appear in a movie. so now that Bai Xuege has won his, Shen Qingshu really… it’s almost impossible.]

[Especially against Meng Zhi, who was shortlisted for the best actor, it’s a pity that Meng Zhi didn’t win last year. This year, he will definitely win.]

[I don’t want to watch anymore, it’s too heartrending. I’m retiring my sisters, and this award ceremony is too painful to watch.]

[When I think about how Shen Qingshu can’t win the best actor award, I don’t have the desire to watch it anymore. Even if he was young and had just entered the movie industry, even if “Ephemera” had a high box office, acting well is acting well. Why can’t he win the award?]

[If I keep watching, will there be a miracle?]

Yes, yes! Han Cheng looked at the bullet screen and shouted in his heart, there must be, there must be! Forget other roles, Shen Qingshu is playing Su Qing. He created Su Qing based on himself. Is there anyone in this world who can play him better?

[Other actors just played the role in the script, but Shen Qingshu was that role, so how could he not win an award! If he doesn’t win the award, the judges are blind! There must be something shady!

Han Cheng nervously took a sip of hot water and felt even more agitated. “Don’t you have ice water? Lower the temperature for me!”

Xiao Li immediately opened the small refrigerator in the car and brought out a bottle for him. “Han Shao, don’t be nervous. We need to trust Shen ge and believe in his ability.”

“I don’t believe him? I don’t believe in the organisers!” Han Cheng unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, feeling a bit calmer.

“Here, take your phone back, I’m afraid I will impulsively throw it later.” He handed Xiao Li the phone that was still playing the live video.

Xiao Li took it trembling and felt like he wanted to go to the bathroom.

Shen Qingshu was already very calm at this time, and his most tense moment had passed. As he watched the award ceremony approaching the end, their cast only had his best actor yet to be announced. He also basically acquiesced that their cast should only receive Bai Xuege’s award this year.

“It’s already very good, at least we won a best supporting actor. When someone mentions this movie in the future, it can be considered as having both box office and awards.”

After all, his initial expectation for “Ephemera” was just to be able to shoot it successfully, as long as everyone was satisfied.

At that time, their requirements for the box office were as good as long as it didn’t flop, and their requirements for awards were none existent.

Even at the beginning, he didn’t even think about making “Ephemera” into a movie, and nearly sold it to a small company that wanted to shoot it at a low cost.

So he is very satisfied with the achievement of “Ephemera” today.

Shen Qingshu turned his head and looked at Bai Xuege, saying, “Not bad, I’m really proud.”

Bai Xuege handed him the trophy and said, “Here, you have a look.”

Shen Qingshu took it and looked down. The design of the trophy for the Golden Laurel Award was very beautiful, with golden and tender bay leaves, representing praise and victory.

“Plucking a branch of osmanthus from the Toad Palace ¹ is the hope of every filmmaker. It just seems that he has to wait for next year, but fortunately, his film took the lead and has already won a Golden Laurel.

Shen Qingshu handed back the trophy and said, “Please treat me to dinner another day.”

“Treat, treat, treat, that’s a must.” Bai Xuege laughed.

He took Shen Qingshu’s hand and whispered, “This trophy is for you. I don’t want it anymore. Take it as a souvenir for the shooting of “Ephemera.”

Hearing his childish words, Shen Qingshu knew that he was trying to comfort him.

“What nonsense? This is your award, not mine.”

“He placed the trophy in Bai Xuege’s arms and said, ‘No need to give it to me as a souvenir. You winning this trophy is already the best souvenir for “Ephemera.”

Bai Xuege is still worried about him. Shen Qingshu has put too much effort into “Ephemera”, but now, in the “Ephemera” crew only he has won an award. The upcoming best actor award, Shen Qingshu is likely to lose to Meng Zhi. In that case, wouldn’t he have to return empty-handed?

Bai Xuege couldn’t bear for him to go back like this, so he wanted to give him his trophy. After all, if it weren’t for “Ephemera,” he wouldn’t have won the best supporting actor. This trophy itself belongs to “Ephemera,” and belongs to its creator, Shen Qingshu.
