Chapter 171: Chapter 171 You Are Not Worthy! [Sect Leader Bowen’s Third Release]

The award ceremony has begun!

With a bunch of tedious formalities that almost put Lu Xiaobu to sleep, plus the ever-obtuse host dragging out the words...

The first winner finally emerged!

"The Best Actor of this ceremony is... Han Meng, congratulations to him!"

The host excitedly announced with a microphone in hand.

Hearing the host’s words, everyone present was flabbergasted!

What?

Han Meng?!

Are you an idiot, host?

And those so-called expert judges!

Do you all have holes in your brains?

Han Meng can be the Best Actor?

Still, despite the shock.

After all, we are all part of the same circle, and Han Meng’s brain-dead fans are famously numerous.

So, nobody dared to offend and could only clap half-heartedly!

Han Meng stood up, waving his hand proudly and casting a triumphant glance at the "A Chinese Odyssey" crew’s spot.

Meanwhile, Zhou Kunxin, who played the Supreme Treasure, was overwhelmed with disappointment.

He thought it was almost a sure bet.

But now...

At this moment, he truly felt terrible, yet he had no choice but to clap!

It was like a child’s toy being given to a relative’s kid, with the parents telling him to be indulgent!

Lu Xiaobu’s expression also darkened.

Han Meng?!

He genuinely couldn’t believe this guy could have pulled off any decent movie.

"Sister Lan, what movie did Han Meng act in?"

Lu Xiaobu asked in a low voice.

"It’s that ’Youthful Frenzy’!"

Liang Lan explained quietly.

"Turn it on for me to see."

Lu Xiaobu continued, skeptical but not one to slander without cause.

He wanted to speak with facts!

And while Lu Xiaobu was checking out "Youthful Frenzy."

Han Meng was delivering his acceptance speech.

"Thank you for your love, everything I have comes from my fans, it is their love that has landed me this award."

Han Meng showed a ’flirtatious’ smile to the camera, yes, utterly ’flirtatious.’

Instantly, the viewers watching the live broadcast exploded!

"Han Meng, we love you!"

"You’re the best!"

"One Best Actor award is too little for you; all awards tonight, including Best Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Supporting Actor should be yours!"

"..."

The brain-dead fans had lost their minds, even suggesting an actor for the Best Director award!

"Do you have anything special you want to say?

The host asked with a chuckle.

"I sure do." Han Meng cleared his throat: "Everyone’s probably aware of the Weibo spat a while ago, due to my endorsement, I was subjected to insults from the haughty and overbearing Lu Xiaobu, he even unjustifiably intercepted my ad effectiveness!"

"I held back then! Because he was right, I didn’t have any notable works at the time, but today I do!"

"So, I want to state solemnly to everyone, those words were nonsense!"

He was outright talking about Lu Xiaobu!

The host said with a laugh, "It seems that spat on Weibo really hurt Han Meng, huh!"

"Yes, I’ve never seen such a vulgar person!"

Han Meng concluded his speech with a bow, then threw another ’coquettish’ look at the camera.

This was even more direct!

He was virtually cursing him by name!

Suddenly, Han Meng’s brain-dead fans went insane!

"Lu Xiaobu, come out and face me!"

"You’re an idiot! See this? My idol Han Meng won an award!"

"Previously, my idol Han Meng didn’t bother with you, see this now?"

"You damned fool, how dare you insult my idol Han Meng?!"

"Believe it or not, we can destroy you in minutes!"

"..."

And Lu Xiaobu’s Weibo was swiftly besieged!

"F**k your mother, Lu Xiaobu!"

"You’re just an idiot with a bit of money, think you’re something special?!"

"Dare to insult Han Meng, I’ll curse you to death today!"

"..."

And at this moment...

Lu Xiaobu had just fast-forwarded uncountable times and finished watching the so-called "Youthful Frenzy"!

He had only one comment – what the hell is this?!

The blatant photo edits, dead fish eyes, and out-of-sync dialogue in "Youthful Frenzy" enraged Lu Xiaobu so much he smashed his phone!

Thinking back to the scars on Zhou Kunxin’s body!

Can this guy really be the Best Actor?

If someone says there’s no backroom deal, who would believe that!?

The host continued the announcement: "Next, we will present the Best Director award, and the winner is... Chen Feiyang!"

Chen Feiyang, after all, is a veteran in the film industry, they wouldn’t dare go too far with him!

So, this award was indeed well-deserved!

People inside the circle all sighed.

"Ah, what’s happening to this era?"

"Indeed, all these shenanigans with awards, so many people work their whole life for such honors! But look at it now! Ah!"

"It’s really freaking sad, even achieving what’s well-deserved is freaking difficult now!"

"Poor Old Chen, he was counting on making a classic, but now, alas!"

"..."

Chen Feiyang’s face was ashen. This award was humiliating to accept; he didn’t even want to go up to receive it.

But if he truly didn’t accept it, it’s likely that the whole crew would be in danger!

He could only stand up reluctantly, squeezing out a smile, preparing to accept the award.

"Sit down."

Lu Xiaobu let out a light command.

Playing behind-the-scenes tricks right under his nose?

Then you play on!

"Young Master Bu!?"

Chen Feiyang was startled, unsure of what Lu Xiaobu meant!

Lu Xiaobu stood up, dusting off his clothes: "I’ll accept this award!"

While speaking, Lu Xiaobu strode up to the stage!

"You are!?"

The host was taken aback!

This is obviously not Chen Feiyang!

What’s going on?

"I’m here to accept the award, any objections?"

Lu Xiaobu disdainfully glanced at the host!

This host isn’t any good either!

"You! You are!"

The host was getting angry!

This was an open challenge to the Golden Fire Award!

Such audacity!

"I am Lu Xiaobu, do you have a problem with that!?"

Lu Xiaobu looked at the host and sneered.

"Uh..."

The host instantly seemed as if his throat was clogged by a duck egg, utterly unable to speak!

Lu Xiaobu?

Number one on the Newcomer Rich List!?

The mastermind behind A Chinese Odyssey!?

You say he’s not qualified?

He’s the one without the qualifications to say that!

The host could only respectfully step aside and imply it was okay!

Lu Xiaobu took over the microphone and received the trophy.

He flipped the trophy in his hand and then laughed!

"This thing? I, Young Master Bu, don’t want it, and A Chinese Odyssey doesn’t need it! You’re not worthy of presenting an award to A Chinese Odyssey!"

Lu Xiaobu sneered.

He casually tossed the trophy behind him!

Bang!

Crack!

The trophy smashed heavily onto the ground!

In a flash, it broke into pieces!

The scattered fragments of the trophy, with the words ’Golden Fire Award’ on it, were glaringly obnoxious!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

They all looked at Lu Xiaobu on stage incredulously!

Smashing the trophy in front of everyone, in front of the award officials, before the microphone!?

And what did he say?

Unworthy!?

The Golden Fire Award is unworthy of presenting an award to A Chinese Odyssey?!

Lu Xiaobu, have you lost your mind?!

Publicly challenging the Golden Fire Award?!

Even if you don’t care, what about the crew of A Chinese Odyssey?!

Lu Xiaobu sneered at the looks from everyone!

This kind of sham trophy?!

To give to him?!

He doesn’t want it!

It’s humiliating!
