507 Competition
Han Fei carried the auntie into the ambulance and she was sent to the emergency room. The doctor started emergency rescue on Auntie Lee. Han Fei was stopped outside the door. Han Fei tried to call the auntie’s son but the auntie’s phone was locked and Han Fei couldn’t get in. “O well, I guess I’ll stay at the hospital, I have nothing better to do anyway.”
Han Fei didn’t sleep much that night, so he crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest. The high-end gaming hub could relax the body but sleep was required to make up for the mental exhaustion. Lethargy consumed his brain and Han Fei leaned against the back of the chair and slept.
Dawn arrived and the sunlight filtered into the corridor. The hospital in the morning was rather deserted. When the occasional people passed by Han Fei who was sleeping outside the emergency room, they would slow down lest they interrupted him.
“That man looks familiar.”
“Is it him?”
“I think it is, but will celebrity be so casually dressed? And why is he sleeping at the hospital?”
“I heard it was because he carried an auntie here. The auntie fainted and she had wounds on her arms.”
“He really didn’t look like an actor. When the auntie was sent here, her arms were bandaged. The technique was more professional than most interns.”
“I want his autograph.”
“Don’t disturb his rest.”
“How about I just take a picture? He is so handsome.”
The passing nurses used their phones to record this moment. They wanted to say something more when they heard a cough from behind them. The two nurses turned around and a doctor exited the emergency room. “Don’t you two need to work?”
After chasing away the two nurses, the doctor walked towards Han Fei. “Wake up, you’ll catch a cold sleeping here.” Han Fei was actually awake, but since it was no danger, so he didn’t react. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the doctor. “How is Auntie Lee?”
“She is out of the fatal zone. She has a long mental history. She suffers from panasthetia, I believe she ran into some kind of trauma recently and it caused her to go into shock. Thankfully you found her in time, if you were a few hours later, she would be slumbering permanently.” The doctor sighed. “By the way, what is your relationship to her? Can you reach her other family?”
“We’re teammates.”
“What do you mean?” The doctor couldn’t understand how a young man could be in a team with an auntie.
“I guess we are friends. Auntie Lee’s only family is her son but he is working in another city. He’s the manager for Deep Space Tech’s company branch. I have no way of contacting him.” Han Fei shared everything he knew.
“Then we’ll have to wait for her to wake up.” The doctor wanted to ask who’d be paying but Han Fei didn’t look like he was that rich. “There are hot water and towels at the nurse station. If you need them, you can go get them.” The doctor then left. Han Fei stood up to walk into Auntie’s ward. Before he walked in, his phone vibrated.
“Han Fei, Thriller Novelist will be released officially at midnight tomorrow. There is one last event this afternoon, Director Zhang hopes that everyone will be there. Are you free?” Director Zhang’s assistant said on the phone. “This is your first circuit movie, it is meaningful to you. After the event in the afternoon, we will have a gathering to wait for the premiere at midnight.” Han Fei had to be home before midnight but if he rejected everything, he would feel so bad. After all, Director Zhang, Bai Xian, and the rest had taken such good care of him.
“How about this? I’ll attend the event in the afternoon but I’ll have to excuse myself from the event at night. I just discovered the trace of a criminal on the run, I need to cooperate with the police to capture him.” Han Fei pulled an excuse.
“How can I say no to that?” The assistant chuckled helplessly. “Remember to wear formal attire for the afternoon event. Consider it as a rehearsal for the movie festival the day after tomorrow.”
“Movie festival?” If the assistant didn’t bring it up, Han Fei would have forgotten all about it. He couldn’t care less about the awards and stuff.
“You could have easily won best supporting actor and best new actor if this was another year but this year would be quite difficult.” The assistant sounded pessimistic.
“The competition is very tough this year?”
“For the best supporting actor, you’re up against 2 veteran actors and 1 b-list rising star actor. The veterans are very good actors and the rising star has many fans. In just internet voting, he has won the rest of you by a lot.” The assistant sighed, “We actually didn’t anticipate you’d win the best supporting actor because the competition will be tough. Director Zhang actually wanted you to win the best new actor. This award is very important for young actors. Initially, the award should be in your bag but suddenly 2 new actors entered the scene.”
Han Fei had only accepted the best new actor in his dream. Before he entered the cryptic world, he imagined several times walking onto the stage, raising the award above his head and enjoying everyone’s applause. But now, he didn’t have that wish anymore. After his foray into the cryptic world, his dreams were filled with ghosts and monsters.
“Who are the two new actors?”
“You should know of them. The first is Xu Junchi. He is among the leading pack for C-list actors, he is almost 30 so this is his last time participating in the race for best new actor. I guess you can save he has to win this. His recent movies have quite good reviews.” The assistant was shocked when he said these things. How could Han Fei don’t even know his competition?
“The other is a new actor like you. His name is Bai Cha. The man is impressive. He is the latest star from Deep Space Entertainment. Deep Space Entertainment is backed by Deep Space Tech, their new talent is always popular. Bai Cha is a very hardworking person too. He has a great acting skill, is very professional on set, and garners many fans in a short amount of time.”
“Bai Cha? This is my first time hearing that name,” Han Fei was confused.
“For real? Brother, have you not seen the recent movie presale ranking? Thriller Novelist is ranked second and 1/3 Comedy which is ranked first features Bai Cha!” Director Zhang’s assistant realized Han Fei really didn’t care about much other than solving cases.
Han Fei logged into the internet to take a quick glance. Bai Cha was indeed very popular. Due to Deep Space Entertainment, he had so many resources. He would be trending every few days. However, he got on trending due to the smallest things, like having a new CP, bruising his ankle during dance practice, losing weight from filming, or being accidentally injured by props during filming.
In contrast, Han Fei’s reasons for trending were rather special. He helped the police solve the human jigsaw case, the human freezer case, he was chased by a murderer on set and caused the murderer to commit suicide.
“He is on trending more often than I do. Looks like I’ve found my match.”
