Chapter 424: Jealousy and Rivalry—Xu Can, Who Are You Choosing?!

The host on stage was introducing some other minor, unimportant awards.

Nobody paid much attention either; whoever won would only get a participation award anyway.

But soon it was time for the Best Picture award!

When the nominations appeared on the big screen, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Can in unison.

This wasn't something just anyone could witness.

"All three of his films actually got nominated—that proves he really has the ability. This time, one way or another, they'll have to give him an award to take home!"

"Oscar awards aren't handed out that casually. You can't just pick him because he has more nominations. Haven't you seen how much buzz the other films have on this stage tonight?"

"I'm rooting for another one!"

No matter what they said, Xu Can kept his composure. He knew the final result would be understood. Why the host had cast him a puzzled look was probably because he couldn't understand why all the awards had landed in his hands!

"Let's congratulate 'The Blind Side' on winning the final Best Picture award!"

"Please come up to the stage to accept the award, Director Xu Can!"

Stone Sister was clapping wildly beside him, her gaze completely ignoring everyone else's feelings, fixed on him with an adoring look!

If she cared about other people, she wouldn't be Stone Sister. Now no one could stop her from following in Xu Can's footsteps. Such an outstanding man—she had to hold on tight to him, while he hadn't yet confirmed anyone else's identity.

Although Taylor Swift was his girlfriend now, she wasn't truly his other half yet, so she wasn't going to give up.

Taylor Swift, meanwhile, was trying her best to act like a proper lady, quietly watching the man shining on stage.

"May I ask our Director Xu Can—you've only just emerged in our film circle, yet you've already won an Oscar for Best Picture that others might never get in their entire lives. Do you have any thoughts you'd like to share with everyone here?"

Xu Can nodded and stepped closer to the microphone.

"All of this is what I deserve. I understand some people are unconvinced, but my title as the God of Cinema isn't called that for nothing!"

"Thank you, everyone!"

After saying that, he walked off the stage. He didn't need to waste so much time up there.

This left the host beside him dumbfounded, not knowing how to respond. Never had anyone faced the audience with such an attitude on stage—anyone would at least show a little humility.

Some people who liked this kind of personality clapped wildly.

"That's the spirit! This is what we deserve—no need to thank anyone!"

"At this moment I suddenly felt his personal charm. Otherwise, I'd go ask him for a business card—maybe in the future when he has another film, he could bring me along. The guy just started filming and already won the Oscar for Best Picture. Looks like he's a rare talent!"

Xu Can saw the looks from the people beside him but paid them no mind.

"The Best Director award is coming up next. I wonder whose hands it'll fall into this time!"

The other nominated directors immediately straightened their clothes. They all felt it would be them—especially seeing that Xu Can has already taken the Best Picture award, they actually felt even more hopeful.

Taylor Swift beside him was also extremely nervous.

Stone Sister was just about to put her hand on Xu Can to comfort him when she discovered Taylor Swift has already grasped Xu Can's hand.

She smoothly grabbed the other hand. Now both soft hands were clutching his. Xu Can could only smile helplessly.

At this solemn awards ceremony, everyone else was incredibly tense—only he himself was still enjoying himself in a gentle haven.

The host's gaze went straight to Xu Can. Now the cameramen were a bit confused too—they had to flexibly judge which shot to cut to on the scene. If it was Xu Can again this time, everyone should be going wild!

"Best Director award—once again, congratulations to our Director Xu Can. 'Interstellar' is truly an excellent work. I've been watching it too, and I've already rewatched it many times!"

Those directors instantly deflated, turning their heads to look at Xu Can in disbelief.

This was simply the biggest joke in the world—how could they not get a single nomination, while everything went to Xu Can?

Before they could even recover, the host stopped Xu Can, who was about to step down.

"How about you don't go down after all—the next award is coming right up: our Best Actor award!"

Now the others couldn't sit still anymore. Don't tell them this was Xu Can's award again!

Taylor Swift clenched her fists, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at the stage.

That was her man—such a dazzling and outstanding man.

The first person to win Best Actor three times in a row and take home three awards at the same Oscar ceremony!

"That's impossible—no one should ever dare break that record!"

"Producing one excellent work in a year is already impressive enough. He even managed to sweep three top awards—that's something others can't reach. In this lifetime, they might never reach the pinnacle!"

Xu Can calmly took two steps back.
