Chapter 242. Golden dragon movie awards (3)
"The fight has again started."
Ren sighed as he looked at the screen of his phone. The screen displayed the view of an online forum.
An hour ago, someone had made a post titled 'Who do you think will win the best actor award between Xin Ren and Xiao Yunhai?'
The post had quickly garnered interest. As it was an entertainment forum, there were many fans of Ren and Xiao Yunhai in it.
The result of it was simple.
A war of words had started between the fans of Ren and Xiao Yunhai. It was still ongoing.
"We can't do anything about it. It's good that the fight is happening on a forum and the media is not trying to spice it up."
The fight will eventually stop once the winner will be announced.
One side will bow down in defeat while the other will celebrate their victory. It was the future Ren can already foresee.
"Do you think I will win the award?"
Ren suddenly asked, glancing at White bear who was driving the van. Their destination was of course the venue of the Golden dragon movie awards.
"I want you to win but it's not like I can be sure of it. The competition is fierce and other nominees had good performances too."
White bear said in a composed manner.
'He's trying to stay composed.'
One of the traits of White bear was that he would become more nervous than Ren when something major will happen.
There was no way he would be composed when Ren can get the best actor award today.
Although Ren noticed his acting, he didn't say anything about it. Instead, he asked another question which surprised White bear.
"Do you think Xiao Yunhai will win the best actor award?"
It was a strange question for White bear.
"What type of question is that?"
"You just have to answer honestly."
White bear thought for a while before answering. He took his time because it was a complicated question.
Xiao Yunhai was nominated for his role as a popular writer who was told that he didn't have much time left to live.
The movie was called «The last book».
In the movie, the character of Xiao Yunhai would go through inner turmoil when he would receive the news that his life expectancy was short.
He had everything in his life. From fame to beauty as his girlfriend but everything will come crashing down once he finds out about his illness and the short amount of time he has left to live.
It was a really emotional story because the audience was able to relate with the character of Xiao Yunhai.
In the movie, the character of Xiao Yunhai will then go to his hometown to spend his last days.
There, he would start to write the last book of his career as he wanted people to remember him by this book.
It was also the reason why the movie was called «The last book».
The movie will take a turn when he meets a high school girl with a dark past.
'I remember crying after seeing the movie.'
Although White doesn't like Xiao Yunhai much, he has to acknowledge his capabilities as an actor and his talent to capture a character.
«The last book» was a big hit on the box office and it was critically acclaimed as the best movie of the year.
Although the box office records of «A born star» were much higher than «The last book», the latter was more appreciated by the critics.
Many people still remember the last scene of «The last book» which had already become an iconic scene.
The character of Xiao Yunhai would publish a book before his death and it would become a worldwide sensation and he would be nominated for an award.
But before he can receive the award, he would die.
In the last scene, the high school girl would be seen placing the award at his grave.
«The last book» was one of the best movies to come in recent years. It was not just a movie but a journey of a man.
White bear have to admit that the competition between Xiao Yunhai and Ren would be fierce.
After thinking it through, White bear just gave a simple reply to Ren's question.
"I don't know."
This was the honest conclusion he had reached. He doesn't know who will win between the two of them.
Actually, he doesn't want to think of the answer. It was too much for his small brain. He felt like his brain would malfunction if he tried to think about it.
Ren didn't get disheartened by White bear's answer. Instead, he smiled as he looked at his previous life memories.
'In my previous life, Xiao Yunhai had won the best actor award.'
It was something he remembered because «The last book» had received many awards at the Golden dragon movie awards, including the best film award.
Among them, the best actor award was given to Xiao Yunhai and there was no one who could compete with him that year.
But this time, Ren and «A born star» had been nominated too, something which hadn't happened in his previous life.
The future can change too because of that.
'I wonder who will win the award this year.'
Ren thought as he stared outside the window. Cold winds were blowing outside the van.

Outside the venue of the Golden dragon movie awards
Reporters were furiously taking photos of celebrities and their families. There were many fans around the red carpet area too.
Many celebrities will stop and give autographs to their fans or have a quick interview with a reporter.
The reports were already notified not to ask any sensitive questions here.
So, they will ask simple questions like 'How do you feel being here today?' or 'Do you think you will win the award?'.
The Golden dragon movie awards would be broadcasted live by SKB public network.
"Look!! It's Xiao Yunhai."
One of the reporters shouted and started clicking photos rapidly. The other reporters also increased their hand speed as camera flashes covered the body of Xiao Yunhai.
"You are nominated for the best actor award. Do you think you will win it?"
"I can't say but I will know about it shortly."
He replied with the image of a cool, refined guy.
"There is a high chance that «The last book» would be chosen as the best movie of the year. What are your thoughts on that?"
"I will tell you my thoughts if it really won the award."
Xiao Yunhai began to walk away after that but he stopped in his tracks when he heard a question.
"People are saying that you and Xin Ren are the biggest contenders to win the award. What do you think about that?"
Xiao Yunhai turned back and amidst the flashing lights, he answered.
"I will just wish him good luck."
He walked away after that and the reporter who had asked the question sighed.
It was not the answer he was expecting.
At that moment, one of the reporters again shouted.
"Xin Ren is here!!"
