Chapter 643: Chapter 641: Sweeping the Awards [3rd Update]

Under Lu Xiaobu’s strong suppression, the most stifling Blue Brand Awards began.

Lu Xiaobu, of course, was sitting in the front row, which was totally expected!

The first award.

First, the official staff of the Blue Brand Awards went up to give their speeches.

Well, it was just the same old rhetoric.

"In the new year, with the efforts of our actors and directors..."

Blah blah blah, a bunch of officialese, a bunch of clichés.

Lu Xiaobu suspected they didn’t even need to write a new speech, just change the year on last year’s script and keep on reading!

So, Lu Xiaobu was fed up with listening!

As a result!

Lu Xiaobu, brandishing the Green Dragon Crescent Blade, somehow produced a cleaning rag and began pretentiously wiping the blade!

This one move.

Instantly, the jury member who was speaking on stage had all his hair stand on end!

Damn your grandpa!

Lu Xiaobu, what are you doing?!

Bringing a knife was already intimidating enough, and now you’re actually sharpening it?!

Who are you planning to chop?!

Do you know what?

Standing at the podium and watching Lu Xiaobu busily sharpening his knife below, he felt like a pig on the chopping block!

Scared to death!

So!

"Ahem, the awards ceremony will now officially begin!"

The jury member, not even sure where he left off, abruptly ended his speech.

Whoever loves staying up there can stay, but he’s definitely not staying!

"Gua gua gua!"

Suddenly, the entire venue burst into applause!

Yes, genuine applause.

Some people even discussed it.

"Why was this speech so short?"

"Yeah, did they also realize we don’t like to listen?"

"They actually had a conscience, not easy!"

"Yes! Yes!"

"..."

The faces of the Blue Brand Award officials turned green!

Motherfuckers, you’re all too much!

What do you mean, conscience?!

Your grandpa’s conscience!

...

No matter what, the award presentations have officially begun!

The host stood on the stage and went straight to the point, announcing:

"The ’Most Popular TV Drama Male Actor Award’ goes to — Qiao Kong for his portrayal of Li Yunlong in ’Bright Sword’!"

"He has fully embodied Li Yunlong, a grassroots revolutionary hero, performing the role to perfection, and has truly conveyed the spirit of ’Bright Sword’ to everyone!"

"Let’s give a round of applause to welcome Qiao Kong to the stage to accept his award!"

As soon as the words fell, thunderous applause filled the entire venue.

Including the bigwigs of the film and television industry, no exceptions!

Ah, there goes Lu Xiaobu, sharpening his knife again!

Damn it, Lu Xiaobu, can you dare to put down the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in your hand and then speak?!

Who are you trying to scare?

Do you really think we’re afraid of you?

"Cough, cough!"

Lu Xiaobu coughed and picked up a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and sprayed it on the blade!

"Whoosh!"

The applause grew even louder!

What? You say we’re scared?!

Nonsense! We’re not scared!

We’re just admiring Qiao Kong’s talent!

Right! We’re simply admiring the talent of Qiao Kong, whom we had blacklisted... Damn, can’t make this up anymore!

Regardless, amidst the enthusiastic applause, Qiao Kong went up to the stage to receive the award.

At the moment he held the trophy, he truly was overwhelmed with tears!

Once upon a time, he had such great expectations for this trophy!

Once upon a time, due to a ban, he had given up on this trophy!

But half a month ago, Young Master Bu found him and made him an actor again!

And today, it got him this trophy!

Young Master Bu, long live!

"Mr. Qiao, please say a few words."

The host reminded Qiao Kong who was visibly moved.

"Oh, oh! Sure!"

Qiao Kong quickly composed himself and stood in front of the podium!

"Here, I only want to thank one person, and that’s Young Master Bu! To be audacious, Young Master Bu’s talent is two times that of everyone else’s here combined!"

With these words, he had seriously invited the wrath of the crowd!

Everyone at the scene was glaring angrily at Qiao Kong!

Are you too arrogant, old man?!

We don’t provoke Lu Xiaobu, but you, do you think you have the right to say that?!

Trying to curry favor with Lu Xiaobu?!

You don’t even recognize where this is!

As it turned out!

Qiao Kong said again, "I know my words will offend many people, and even a lot of people are cursing me in their hearts right now, but I don’t care! Anyway, I’ve decided to stick with Young Master Bu’s company for the rest of my life! As for you all, do whatever you like!"

Qiao Kong is not someone with a kind temperament, after all, if he were really a pushover, he could never fully portray the character of Li Yunlong!

So, this time he let loose!

He had nothing to lose anymore!

He would loyally follow Young Master Bu for the rest of his life!

Hearing Qiao Kong’s words, people below were grinding their teeth in anger!

F*ck, clearly one of Lu Xiaobu’s men, just showing their true colors!

"Cough cough cough!"

A frantic coughing sound came from backstage.

This was a reminder to the host—don’t let him speak any longer; if he continues, will this event still go on?!

Hearing this, the host quickly said, "Thank you for your speech, Mr. Qiao!"

Qiao Kong shrugged and stepped down from the stage!

Seeing Qiao Kong didn’t make more trouble, the host took a deep breath and hurriedly continued the announcements!

"The ’Most Popular TV Actress Award’ goes to—Zhang Mei, who played the role of Li Yunlong in ’Bright Sword’!"

"She played the role of Xiu Xin. Though not frequently on screen, she profoundly demonstrated the fearless spirit of serving the country and the people with her military family roots!"

"Let’s give her a round of applause!"

The role of Xiu Xin, although not having as much screen time as the character Xiaotian later on, clearly left a deeper impression!

She was a remarkable woman who married into the revolution with blood and fire!

The line "Fire the cannon" not only made Li Yunlong but also made Xiu Xin legendary!

"Applause!"

Another round of applause!

Damn it, Lu Xiaobu, can you sit down?

We can see the knife in your hand; there’s no need to flaunt it!

Zhang Mei, after all, is a woman and didn’t make a fuss like Qiao Kong, simply accepting the award was all.

However, she shared one thing in common with Qiao Kong.

That is, only thanking Lu Xiaobu and not mentioning anyone else!

The award ceremony continues!

However, the faces of those big shots were getting uglier and uglier!

Because!

The Best Female Performance in Arts Award—Qi Fengyu from ’Bright Sword’ who played Xiaotian!

The Audience’s Favorite TV Actor Award—Qiao Kong from the ’Bright Sword’ crew!

The Audience’s Favorite TV Actress Award—Zhang Mei from the ’Bright Sword’ crew!

The Most Popular Actor Award—Qiao Kong from the ’Bright Sword’ crew!

One after another, all these awards startlingly went to the ’Bright Sword’ crew, other dramas didn’t get a single one!

Especially the actors and directors from ’Youth Never Falls Behind’, awaiting with great anticipation, were turning green!

What does this mean?!

Is the Brand Blue Award aiming to let ’Bright Sword’ sweep all the categories?!

The big shots were all looking even more displeased!

"Quick, get in touch immediately, ask what is going on!"
