Chapter 1157 - I’m also nervous

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Through?That Summer?and?Luoshen’s Legend?, Emperor Sky Entertainment managed to dominate both the box office and general popularity this year, reaping a bountiful harvest.

“All that’s left is Best Actor and Best Actress now…” Ye Mufan mumbled solemnly.

Upon seeing that the next award to be announced was Best Actor, even Gong Xu curbed his indifferent expression and looked at the big screen…

Excitement ran through the people sitting below the stage. The people who were getting drowsy from the long and tedious process all became wide awake and looked at the stage while whispering with their neighbors.

“The following award we’re announcing is the award everyone has their eyes on—Best Actor! Who will be the winner of this year’s Best Actor? Everyone, please look at the screen. The nominations for this year include?Luoshen’s Legend?…”

The host started introducing the five films that were nominated this year.

When the host reached the final film,?A Life and Death Struggle?, everyone subconsciously turned to curiously look at Luo Chen and Gong Xu.

“Tut tut, there’s gonna be a good show to watch!”

“Right? Gong Xu publicly announced he would livestream himself eating sh*t if he doesn’t win Best Actor and even dragged Luo Chen into it. Truly fearless, I say…”

“Look at who it is! Is there anything Gong Xu doesn’t dare to say? However, the fact that Gong Xu managed to get nominated is quite astonishing!”

“The organizers also need popularity and attention, so they’re just making a double Best Actor headline. It’s not like it’s the first time they’ve done this. Plus,?Red Lotus?just happened to be banned; otherwise, how could it be their turn to be nominated? Look at the other films—any of them could pulverize them! These two people are simply here to fill the seats…”

…

The snippet of film they showed was the tragically heroic scene of Xue Shaoyang breathing his last breath in Luo Chen’s arms.

The remnant sun was akin to blood, and streaks of tears flowed down the youth’s bloody and grimy face, instantly eliciting heavy, aching grief in the audience.

Luo Chen motionlessly stared at the scene on the big screen, sweat soaking his palms.

Gong Xu grumbled with a complaint: “How could they use my death scene, so unlucky…”

After Gong Xu said that, he glanced hopefully at Ye Wanwan. “Brother Ye…”

Ye Wanwan didn’t even glance at him as she said, “You want me to wear it? Sure. Win Best Actor.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gong Xu: “…”

So utterly heartless…

“The competition for Best Actor this year is very intense. There’s the dark horse who fiercely trampled into the finals, Han Yi; the male lead of?Assassin?, the big production that exhausted 200 million yuan, Jing Wanqing; the talented actor who’s been nominated three times in a row, Ji Wenjing; the talented heavenly king who won Best Actor twice already and is fully deserving of his title, Pei Heng; and also the two male leads of?A Life and Death Struggle?who were both nominated, Luo Chen and Gong Xu…”

The host spoke passionately and tried their best to intensify the atmosphere.

Ye Wanwan glanced at Luo Chen worriedly. Luo Chen expressed he was fine before taking a deep breath and closing his eyes.

Gong Xu saw Ye Wanwan exchanging a look with Luo Chen and pitifully mumbled, “Brother Ye, Brother Ye, I’m also nervous…”

Ye Wanwan rolled her eyes at him and originally intended to ignore him when she suddenly caught something in her periphery that startled her.

Gong Xu, had always stood and sat formlessly wherever he went, was currently stiffly sitting in his seat…

Ye Wanwan extended her arm and lightly clapped Gong Xu’s shoulders.
