Chapter 216 - The Youngest Movie Queen in History
Chapter 216: The Youngest Movie Queen in History
While they were eating, Mu Jingzhe was a little distracted and couldn’t muster up any energy. Thinking that they had frightened Mu Jingzhe, the five kids transformed into considerate little darlings, showing great concern for her and looking extremely obedient.
Shao Qihai looked at the few of them, who were completely different from how they had been at noon, and thought that they were deliberately pranking him because they were angry with him. Unexpectedly, when the five kids saw Mu Jingzhe looking listless, they secretly decided that they had to speed up.
However, just as Shao Xi had said previously, sometimes it was impossible to stop being outstanding. It was as if the heavens were opposing them. It wasn’t easy for them to score against Shao Qihai, and they were about to continue implementing their mischievous plan. However, good news kept coming one after another. Their sparkle couldn’t be hidden no matter how hard they tried.
Firstly, Little Xi’s book would be officially launched on the market after New Year’s. Before it was published, a few copies were sent to Shao Xi. The teachers and principal of the school had long known about this. After they received the books, they organized an activity that involved the entire school learning together.
Everyone in the village knew that Shao Xi didn’t just publish articles in magazines and newspapers. He also published books. He was incredible and he was thus praised everywhere.
Meanwhile, the show Shao Nan had participated in was still broadcasting. It was even broadcast until the end when he started to show his might. The name Shao Nan was now known by many people. Seeing that it was a good show and Shao Nan was really inspirational, not only did the principal become an avid viewer of the show when it was broadcast at night, but he even moved the television to the school. When it was replayed in the day, he would watch it with the teachers and students, letting everyone learn from Shao Nan.
He even let Shao Nan share his insights into becoming so knowledgeable. Seeing that Shao Nan knew a lot, the villagers would ask him if they had any questions. Sometimes, they would just ask casually, and other times, they would seriously consult him, especially regarding legal issues.
Shao Nan’s answer actually helped a person in the village get back his salary. The boss had originally bullied him because he was illiterate and ignorant. He had even wanted to delay payment, but because of Shao Nan, he didn’t dare to.
That person brought something over to thank Shao Nan. Everyone in the village said that Shao Nan was the most promising boy.
Shao Nan and Shao Xi were very glad and proud, but they were also extremely annoyed. However, there was more good news to come.
Director Lu had sent over internal information that Little Bei’s movie had a high chance of winning an award at the Film Festival and she was very likely to become the youngest six-year-old movie queen in the history of the country. Although she hadn’t won the award overseas, Little Bei had attracted a lot of attention because of her age.
The name Little Bei instantly became the focus of attention in the industry. She was already astounding enough, but who knew that Xiao Wu would be even more shocking.
Xiao Wu was also rapidly gaining popularity. He first became popular overseas. Although the movie didn’t win an award overseas, his soundtrack was praised and hailed as a stunning piece of music.
A globally-renowned director and a world-famous musician publicly praised Xiao Wu’s music. They said that it had made them cry and also made them laugh. It had been many years since they had come across such a stunning piece of music, so they really wanted to get in touch with him and collaborate with him. When they contacted Xiao Wu, they accidentally learned how old he was.
Xiao Wu was only four years old, while he had only been three years old when he had composed that piece of music. What kind of concept was that?
Director Lu had kept Xiao Wu’s age under wraps and shocked the musician and director in an unexpected way, causing Xiao Wu to become even more popular overseas.
Both Little Bei and Xiao Wu shot to fame, especially after people found out that he was Little Bei’s younger brother. This made the media fight to report the news.
Although Xiao Wu and Little Bei didn’t win an award, they successfully made a name for themselves and garnered widespread attention.
Meanwhile, the local media fought to report the storm caused by Xiao Wu overseas. When the news spread to their country, it was coincidentally time for Xiao Wu and Little Bei to attend the award ceremony.
The formal evening wear that Mu Jingzhe had tailored was finally put to use. Just as they had agreed, the family went to the award ceremony, each of them dressed up smartly.
Shao Qihai, who had returned unexpectedly, also attended the event shamelessly. He then witnessed Little Bei and Xiao Wu’s love confession.
Little Bei really went on to win the award and became the youngest movie queen ever. When she stood on the podium to receive the award, even the emcee cooperatively squatted down to interview her. The entire audience felt proud of Little Bei.
However, Little Bei only had eyes for Mu Jingzhe and kept looking in her direction. When the emcee asked her how she could convincingly portray a hearing disorder at such a young age, Little Bei answered seriously.
“It’s because my ears were almost damaged by a fever. Fortunately, Mommy discovered it in time and rushed me to the hospital overnight. I’m fine now, but I remember how flustered Mommy was at the time.”
Little Bei made it sound like she hadn’t ignored Mu Jingzhe back then. Mu Jingzhe laughed when she heard that, but Little Bei took this opportunity to confess. “Mommy, I love you!”
Mu Jingzhe had formed all sorts of hearts with her fingers for the five kids when she had nothing to do. As everyone laughed, Little Bei asked the emcee to take the trophy and then formed a series of hearts with her fingers, gesturing at Mu Jingzhe.
Who could resist Little Bei? Everyone present smiled maternally. Mu Jingzhe was so thrilled that she wished she could jump up and scream maniacally from below, “Little Bei, I love you too!”
At the end of her acceptance speech, Little Bei said, “I only managed to achieve all this today because of Mommy. I hope I can be with Mommy forever.”
For the time being, Little Bei didn’t know what creating momentum was, but she used the most sincere words to express her feelings.
After getting off the stage, Little Bei ran over on her short legs and threw herself into Mu Jingzhe’s arms. She gave the trophy to Mu Jingzhe, and this scene was captured like crazy by the reporters.
After Little Bei was crowned the youngest movie queen, Xiao Wu also went on stage. Because he was too young, Director Lu led him up.
The emcee squatted down again and praised the siblings for being incredible. Xiao Wu was embarrassed. “It’s all because Mommy is good. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to do it. She asked me to learn it.”
“It seems that our Shao Bei and Shao Zhong both like Mommy very much.” The emcee praised them, using this merely as a passing remark. The emcee was about to continue the interview, but Xiao Wu suddenly nodded and added, “Yes, yes. Mommy is the most amazing and beautiful. I like Mommy the most.”
At the mention of Mu Jingzhe, shy Xiao Wu wasn’t afraid to speak anymore. He took the initiative to lean over and say into the microphone, “The best person in the world is Mommy. If it wasn’t for Mommy, I might not even have known how to speak. I love Mommy!”
Then, he started to form hearts with his fingers like crazy. He even pouted and mimicked a kiss. With his short legs and arms, he looked way too adorable.
The emcee smiled helplessly. Children tended to lose control when they went on stage. He had made many preparations, but he hadn’t expected the two children to lose control and confess their love for their mother instead of running around, screaming, or spouting nonsense.
After Xiao Wu finished his unbridled confession, he buried his head in Director Lu’s arms in embarrassment and whispered that he wanted to get off the stage.
Director Lu laughed and told the emcee in jest, “This child is insisting on going down. I suspect that he came up just to praise his mommy and tell her that he loves her.”
Director Lu was really just joking. He hadn’t expected Xiao Wu to nod obediently in his arms. The emcee and Director Lu were helpless. They shrugged and said that they had tried their best to salvage the situation and there was nothing they could do now.
Mu Jingzhe’s heart almost melted from Xiao Wu’s cuteness. After Xiao Wu got out, he jumped into Mu Jingzhe’s arms and also gave Mu Jingzhe the trophy, which he could only carry with both hands.
Mu Jingzhe raised him up, then plopped him down on her right and Little Bei on her left. Besides them, there were also Shao Dong, Shao Xi, and Shao Nan. She was very much looking like a winner in life.
