Chapter 745 Best Supporting Actor Award
Shao Yun stood behind the box, observing the stalemate through the gap. He knew very well that now was the best time for him to make his debut.
He stepped out from behind the box carefully without making any sound.
Shao Yun slowly reached into his waist, took out John's cowboy revolver, and then pointed the gun at Veronica's back.
"There are two guns pointed at you now, young lady."
When Veronica heard the voice, her body shook violently. She turned her head and looked at Shao Yun who suddenly appeared behind her, with a surprised expression on her face.
"Mr. Shao Yun...I was wondering why I didn't see you at the venue just now!" Veronica obviously didn't expect Shao Yun to appear at this time.
Shao Yun did not answer, and the gun in his hand remained aimed.
Veronica looked at the gun in Shao Yun's hand, then looked at the weapon in her own hand, and then looked at Xia Wole. She knew that she had no chance of winning.
Faced with the threat of two guns, she had no choice but to put down the gun and surrender.
Xia Wole was very satisfied with Shao Yun's performance.
When Shao Yun tied Veronica up, Xia Wole stepped forward and praised, "Mr. Shao Yun, I knew that inviting you here would be an extra safeguard."
After Shao Yun tied Veronica's hands, he stood up, waved his hand, and said casually: "Remember to transfer the money to Ying's account in the Adventurer's Association."
After hearing what Shao Yun said, Xia Wole shrugged helplessly and responded, "Can you offset it for my hard work for the crew?"
Shao Yun didn't originally want to get Mora, he just wanted to liven up the atmosphere. Of course, it was impossible for him to really ask for Mora.
"Don't take it too seriously. I just said it casually to liven up the atmosphere."
However, Veronica, who was tied up with her hands behind her back, looked at Shao Yun unwillingly and asked, "Why did you stop me from taking revenge?"
"A scum like him doesn't deserve to live in this world! Why can't I end his life with my own hands like in Yingying?"
When Shao Yun saw that Veronica actually used Yingying as an example, he decided to tell her a very normal truth.
"Movies are for people to watch, not to imitate. You have to face reality, little girl."
Veronica was stunned when she heard Shao Yun's words, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
"But..." Veronica wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back.
"You're right, reflections are just reflections after all, and reality is reality..." Veronica finally realized her misunderstanding and muttered to herself.
At this time, Xiawolei had already tied up Morris.
She walked up to Veronika and said to her, "Veronika, come with me."
Veronica glanced at Shao Yun silently, then nodded slowly.
Then Xia Wo Lei said to Xiao Gong and Paimeng who were still confused, and Shao Yun who didn't care:
"I'm going to send the two of them to Mello Petersburg. Shao Yun, Xiao Gong, and Paimeng, please help me explain this to everyone."
Shao Yun nodded and agreed, "I understand."
After Xia Wulei took the tied-up Morris and Veronica out of the warehouse, Shen He came over supporting the pregnant Ying.
Ying asked, "What happened? Why did I hear gunshots?"
Shao Yun calmly pointed at Xia Wole who was escorting Morris and Veronica not far away, and explained: "It's nothing, Morris and prop master Veronica were captured by Xia Wole."
Afterwards, Shao Yun briefly explained the situation to everyone in the crew, and then everyone went about eating and drinking as usual.
The celebration banquet was not affected by this small incident.
……
Two days after the celebration banquet, the sun was shining brightly and the square of the Vasari Corridor was bustling with activity. Today, the film selection event of the Thousand Spirits Film Festival was being held here.
Shao Yun, Ying, Paimeng and Shen He arrived at the scene early in the morning, and there were only a few people in the venue at that time.
As for Yuanshang, he was currently studying the parenting encyclopedia and had no intention of participating in this event.
(Of course, even if he wanted to come, Shao Yun would not let him come. Under Villette's nose, he still had to respect him.)
Paimon looked at the venue and said excitedly, "Wow! Today is the day when the judging results will be announced. I'm so looking forward to it!"
Just when Paimon was getting excited, she suddenly saw Charlotte, who had been sitting in her seat for a long time, waving at them and calling out enthusiastically: "Paimon, over here, over here!"
Seeing this, Paimon quickly responded: "Charlotte, you're here really early!"
Charlotte nodded with a smile and said, "Of course. In addition to getting exclusive interview rights, the Thousand Spirits Film Festival awards ceremony itself is also a great material!"
Paimon looked at Charlotte, who was more excited than himself, and couldn't help feeling helpless.
"We haven't even received the award yet, and you're already eyeing the exclusive interview rights?"
Charlotte pointed to her head and said firmly, "Trust my instinct as a reporter. If we don't win the 'Funina' Award, who will?"
……
After more than an hour, the venue gradually became lively, and all the participating crews of the Qianli Film Festival arrived one after another.
The award ceremony officially opened. After the opening remarks, the host stood in the center of the stage, holding the list of winners, and announced: "Next, let us jointly announce the Best Actress Award for this year's Qianling Yingying Festival!"
The audience suddenly quieted down, holding their breath, waiting for this important moment to arrive.
The host paused for a moment, then shouted, "The winners of the Best Actress Award are Tulipe and Iris from The Two Gunslingers! They are played by Xia Wulei and Kamisato Ayaka!"
When Kamisato Ayaka heard her own name, she covered her mouth in surprise.
"Why is there a Best Actress award? When was it added? I remember there was only the 'Funina' award before?" She looked at Xiawolei with suspicion, a little overwhelmed by this sudden award.
Xia Volei stood up and said to Kamisato Ayaka with a smile: "Anyway, since there is a trophy to be collected, let's go on stage quickly."
So, the two of them walked onto the stage together and accepted the honor that belonged to them.
There was warm applause and cheers from the audience, expressing high recognition of their acting skills.
After the Best Actress award ceremony, there are many other awards waiting to be announced, such as the Best Original Score Award, Best Sound Effects Award, etc.
These awards are set up, on the one hand, to recognize professionals who have performed outstandingly in film production.
On the other hand, it is also to comfort those participating crews who did not win the "Funina" Award, so that they can feel that their efforts have not been in vain, and not feel frustrated by returning empty-handed, thus reducing their enthusiasm for participating in the event.
After all, the Qianli Film Festival is an event that requires long-term persistence and investment, and every participant has made hard efforts for this event. It is worthy of recognition.
Of course, there is another reason. If no one signs up next year, wouldn’t this event become a clown?
……
Afterwards, the Best Photography Award was given to Charlotte.
The Best Director Award was given to Funina.
The Best Costume Design Award was given to Chiori.
The Best Stunt Design Award was given to Clorinde.
Originally, Shao Yun thought that he had nothing to do with it. After all, he felt that his acting was not good enough.
But what happened next was beyond his expectations.
The host on the stage looked at the next winner on the award list and said in a long voice: "The winner of Best Supporting Actor is..."
Then the host announced, "The Two Gunslingers, Landon Ricketts. Played by Mr. Tacitus Kilgore!"
Shao Yun didn't expect that he could win the award. Why was his name on the adventure certificate?
"What?" Shao Yun said in disbelief.
Ying cheered for Shao Yun and said, "I'm calling you, go and receive your award!"
Shao Yun pointed at himself in disbelief. Listening to everyone's cheers for him, he said in surprise: "No, why is it me? And why did they use the name on my adventure certificate?"
Xavier explained, "Because, Mr. Shao Yun, your official certificate (Adventure Certificate) says 'Tacitus Kilgore'. In order to avoid mistakes, I reported it this way."
Shao Yun was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. He still couldn't understand why the Best Supporting Actor award went to him.
"But why am I the Best Supporting Actor? I don't think my performance was that great."
Seeing Shao Yun reluctant to go on stage, Ying hurriedly urged him, "Wait until you come back before you sigh. Go up on stage and receive the award first!"
Shao Yun then woke up from his dream and walked onto the stage.
When he received the glittering golden trophy from the host, he still felt that it was all unreal.
"Thank you." Shao Yun politely thanked the host, then turned around and prepared to leave the stage.
Just as he took a step forward, the host suddenly reminded him, "Aren't you going to give a speech to express your gratitude for the award?"
Shao Yun was stunned. He had never thought of this link.
He looked at the host at a loss and asked doubtfully, "What are you saying about the acceptance speech?"
The host smiled and nodded, explaining, "Is there anything you want to say to everyone attending the conference?"
Shao Yun thought for a moment, and suddenly the words that Veronica had said to him a few days ago emerged in his mind.
Shao Yun faced the audience and said, "Well, reflections are for viewing, not for imitation. But reality is even more magical than reflections. Okay, that's all."
After saying that, Shao Yun turned around and prepared to leave the stage.
Upon seeing this, the host quickly applauded him and praised him, "Very good! A very skillful speech. Let's give a warm round of applause to the best supporting actor!"
……
After Shao Yun returned to his seat in the audience, Ying smiled as she watched Shao Yun walk over.
When he sat down, Ying clapped her hands softly and said, "Not bad, my husband has become a big star now! Let me, your star wife, see your trophy."
Shao Yun showed a gentle smile. He handed the trophy in his hand to Ying and said jokingly, "Okay, stop making fun of me. Here, it's for you."
Ying took the trophy and looked at it carefully. The trophy was glowing faintly under the light, and Shao Yun's name and winning information were engraved on it.
"Wow, this trophy is quite impressive. I think you have done something unique besides killing people and cooking."
Shao Yun didn't get angry after hearing what Ying said. Instead, he smiled and said, "Haha, you're exaggerating. But if we can really open a ranch in the future, you'll find that I can do a lot of things."
The two smiled at each other.
