Chapter 3096 Even the Baby Buddha Can Be Ineffective

When Zhang Tan heard that "Our Summer" had won Best Film, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening. The people at the table applauded and were overjoyed.

Yao Quan and Wan Kun, two tough guys, seemed particularly happy. They had established themselves in the film industry with their tough-guy personas and had played many roles, but they had never won any prestigious awards. This time, they participated in "Our Summer" with the mindset of just having a cameo and having some fun, and ended up winning Best Film! This will be considered one of their qualifications in the future.

Xiao Bai urged, "Old man, hurry up and go up on stage to receive your award."

Liu Liu was incredibly envious. She never expected that Boss Zhang would go on stage and receive the award before her.

Xi'er seemed to see through Liuliu's thoughts and comforted her, "Liuliu, don't worry, you will definitely win an award."

The baby had finally spoken, and Liu Liu was overjoyed. But she quickly noticed the logical flaw in the baby's words and hurriedly asked, "When will I be able to win an award?"

"Tonight," Xi'er said confidently.

Liu Liu was overjoyed. This should be a sure thing now. If she still couldn't win, then someone must have sabotaged her.

Zhang Tan stood up and went on stage to accept a golden trophy. He was the only one who had to accept this award, as he was the film's producer, investor, and director.

After receiving the award, I'll say a few words in acceptance speech.

Zhang Tan, with practiced ease, said, "Thank you to the organizing committee for awarding this prize to 'Our Summer,' it's a great honor. I also want to thank the entire crew—actors, screenwriters, cinematographers, makeup artists, prop masters, and so on—everyone's hard work made this a wonderful film. Special thanks to the two leads, Xiaobai and Liuliu, whose brilliant performances brought color and vibrancy to the film. Thanks to screenwriter Chengcheng, production assistants Xiaomi, Xi'er, Dudu, and others. Robin also made a significant contribution to this film, thank you all. Thanks to Yao Quan and Wan Kun for sacrificing their screen image to play supporting roles, making a huge sacrifice for the film… And also thank you to Xiaoliu, who is the inspiration for this story…"

When Zhang Tan gave his acceptance speech on stage, Little Red Horse Academy erupted in cheers. Finally, a Mr. Zhang had arrived, someone they recognized.

Seeing familiar faces on TV was a novel experience for the children, who chattered excitedly.

Robin was especially proud because Mr. Zhang was her aunt's father, which made her aunt seem very impressive.

"Xiao Zhou, what do you think?" Robin asked Xiao Zhou, who was sitting silently in the last row.

Xiao Zhou said expressionlessly, "I can't see it, and I don't know how to see it."

Robin pressed further, "My uncle won an award."

"Oh, I heard that. Congratulations to him."

Xiao Zhou wasn't dragged to watch TV this time; he sat down on his own.

Although I can't watch it, I can listen to it.

He's really curious about what kind of movie "Our Summer" is.

Zhang Tan thanked everyone before coming down to the backstage area for a brief interview with reporters.

When he looked up, he saw two young reporters standing right in front of him: Xiao Weiwei and her protector, Dudu.

When the two men saw Zhang Tan looking over, they both smiled at her, somewhat smug, quite pleased with Zhang's surprise.

"How did you get here?" Zhang Tan was genuinely curious.

These two kids are really resourceful; they managed to sneak into the backstage interviews with the award-winning guests and even got to the front seats.

"Haha, it was Xiaobai who arranged this for us."

Xiao Weiwei laughed triumphantly. She was even happier than the award recipients today. It was a day of realizing her dream and indulging in her dream of being a reporter.

The reporters standing nearby watched the two girls with amusement, as it was the first time they had encountered an awards ceremony with junior reporters present.

Getting back to the main point, Zhang Tan gave the first question to Xiao Weiwei during the interview.

Without hesitation, little Weiwei first said to the reporters present, "Thank you, uncles and aunties!"

He then asked Zhang Tan happily, "Mr. Zhang, will you still be making movies starring children in the future?"

Zhang Tan nodded: "We'll definitely film again."

Xiao Weiwei continued the interview: "So when Xiaobai and Liuliu grow up and are no longer children, who will you invite to act in children's movies? Will you invite Leonardo DiCaprio? What about Robin?"

The reporters present burst into laughter.

Zhang was taken aback. Good heavens! This little thing asked such a sharp question. No wonder Liu Liu couldn't handle her.

Meanwhile, the awards ceremony was still underway. After the Best Film award was presented, the Best Newcomer award was next.

This award has nothing to do with "Our Summer".

Although it had nothing to do with him, Xiaobai was still very interested and wanted to see who would win the award. Zhao Xin had been nominated for the award before for her role as Maudie in "Maudie", but unfortunately she did not win it.

Suddenly, Xiaobai heard a beeping sound in her ear. She turned her head and saw Liuliu sitting upright, but she couldn't be fooled.

Xiao Bai pinched Liu Liu's cheek and looked into her mouth, only to see that she was indeed eating.

"Don't eat anything, the camera's on you," Xiaobai warned.

Liu Liu chuckled awkwardly and opened her palm, "There are only a few sunflower seeds, I'll give you one."

Get out of my way! Don't touch me!

Xiao Bai was extremely disgusted, and Liu Liu snorted coldly, giving Xi Er two melon seeds.

So even Zhang Tan, who had just returned from the interview, heard the sound of them cracking sunflower seeds.

After the Best Newcomer Award, it's time for the Best Screenplay Award.

Our Summer was not nominated for this award.

Xiaobai felt indignant on Chengcheng's behalf, thinking that the story of "Our Summer" was so good that it deserved an award, and that it was hard to understand why it hadn't even received a nomination.

"There's something fishy going on!" Xiaobai said indignantly.

Liuliu nodded and said, "Chengcheng should win an award. Xiaobai, let's see what happens next. If I don't win an award either, then there must be something fishy going on."

Xi'er said, "Liuliu, when you go to be interviewed by Xiao Weiwei later, just say there's something fishy going on."

Liu Liu isn't that stupid. It's fine to talk about it in private, but if she tells a junior reporter and it gets published, how will she survive in the entertainment industry in the future? How will she establish herself in China and go international?

After the Best Screenplay award, the Best Director award will be announced.

Zhang Tan was nominated for this award, and Xiao Bai started to get excited and looking forward to it.

However, Zhang Tan himself remained calm. Having already won Best Film, it would be too difficult for him to win Best Director as well.

If, by any chance, he actually wins Best Director, then it's safe to say that Liu Liu is just a runner-up this time.

Many people cast their gazes, not all with good intentions; jealousy and hidden malice were equally prevalent.

Xiao Bai was a little nervous and quickly asked Xi'er, "Xi'er, can your godfather win an award? Say yes!"

"Huh?" Xi'er was stunned.

"What? Don't you want your godfather to win an award?"

"I hope my godfather will win an award."

Xiao Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Since even the Buddha had spoken, her father should be able to win an award, right?

However, when the answer was revealed, it was not Zhang Tan who won the award.

Xiao Bai and Liu Liu immediately turned to look at Xi Er. It turns out that even the Buddha in the baby's eyes can be ineffective sometimes.

Xi'er quickly explained, "Hehe, I don't just say whatever I want."

Liuliu nodded: "Besides, you were forced to say it, so it's not your fault, Xier. I didn't force you to say that I could win an award. You said it voluntarily, right?"

Da Yan Yan is very nervous right now.
