Xiao Yunhai celebrated with the crowd for a bit, then with a smile on his face, he walked briskly onto the stage.
He wanted to take the certificate from Lauryn, but Pippen said, "Xiao, it's not easy to get the certificate and trophy. Lauryn has always wanted to take revenge on you. Since he has such a good opportunity today, he will definitely not let it go. Isn't that right? Lauryn. "
Lauryn smiled and said, "Of course. Xiao, when your movie 'Valiant Heroes' defeated my movie 'Doomsday Game', I was very indignant. "
Xiao Yunhai asked calmly, "Then what do you want?"
Lauryn crossed his fingers and his bones made cracking sounds. He said, "How about we compete in hand strength first?"
After saying that, Lauryn took the lead and stretched out his hand with a confident look.
The stars and fans below the stage saw that Lauryn was looking for trouble and started to clamor.
Such things were common in American awards ceremonies, mainly to liven up the atmosphere. Of course, if you lost, it would be very embarrassing.
Xiao Yunhai turned to look at the host, Richard, and said, "Is this okay?"
Richard shrugged and said, "Of course. However, you can refuse the challenge and the trophy and certificate will still be given to you. "
Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "I'm mainly afraid that Mr. Lauryn won't be able to take it."
Laurent said confidently, "Xiao, it's useless to talk. Let's see who's the real deal."
"As you wish."
Lauryn was 1.95 meters tall and had muscles all over his body, giving people a feeling that he was full of strength.
Xiao Yunhai, on the other hand, was only 1.80 meters tall. His figure was thin compared to Hua Xia's peers, let alone Lauryn.
Seeing the obvious difference in size between Xiao Yunhai and his opponent, some kind-hearted fans broke out in a cold sweat for him.
Hui Lin said worriedly, "Will Director Xiao be okay?"
Luo Tianxiong chuckled and said, "You should be worried about Lauryn. Not to mention him alone, even if another one comes, they can forget about winning against Yunhai. "
On the stage, Xiao Yunhai slowly reached out his right hand and shook hands with Lauryn.
Lauryn suddenly exerted force and said, "Xiao, if you can't stand it, just shout. Don't force yourself. I don't want to hurt you. "
Xiao Yunhai's expression didn't change at all. He smiled and said, "Lauryn, can you use a little more strength? Don't tell me you didn't eat this afternoon? Your strength is really too weak. "
"Hahaha."
The audience below the stage burst into laughter.
Lauryn's eyes widened in anger. The muscles on his right arm bulged and the blood vessels on the back of his hand bulged. He said, "I'm going to use all my strength. I think it's better for you to admit defeat. This isn't something to be embarrassed about."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and shook his head. He calmly reached out his left hand and patted him on the shoulder. He said, "Lauryn, stop talking. If you continue, you'll lose your temper. I think the audience should cheer you on. "
The fans below the stage heard and immediately shouted.
"Lauryn, go for it."
"Defeat Chen Zhen and you'll be the world's number one."
"Lauryn, use more strength."
"Go for it."
Lauryn's face turned red in the midst of the crowd's cheers. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He gritted his teeth and used all his strength.
However, Xiao Yunhai's expression didn't change at all.
Lauryn felt as if he was holding a piece of pig iron in his hand. It didn't have the slightest bit of flesh or elasticity.
Xiao Yunhai sighed softly. "Mr. Lauryn, give up. Even if you use both your hands, you won't be able to beat me, let alone one hand."
Lauryn was already at his limit. When he heard Xiao Yunhai's words, his eyes lit up. He said, "That's what you said. I'm going to use both my hands. If I lose, don't say that I won with an unfair advantage. "
Without waiting for Xiao Yunhai's reply, Lauryn placed his left hand on Xiao Yunhai's hand.
When the audience saw Lauryn using both his hands to fight against Xiao Yunhai's one hand, they couldn't help but whisper.
"Lauryn is too much. Isn't he clearly bullying him?"
"It was Xiao who said that. Lauryn only listened to him."
"But in my opinion, even if Lauryn uses both his hands, he doesn't seem to be Xiao's match."
"Look, Xiao's face is still smiling, but Lauryn's face is already red."
When Xiao Yunhai saw that it was about time, he said, "Mr. Lauryn, let go. You can't do it."
Lauryn gritted his teeth and said, "What? Are you admitting defeat? "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "I just want to tell you that I haven't used any strength yet."
When Lauryn heard that, he said, "Then let's do it. Let me feel your strength. "
Xiao Yunhai sighed and said, "In that case, I'm sorry."
With that said, Xiao Yunhai gently exerted force with his right arm. Lauryn felt as though his hand was clamped by an iron clamp. His bones hurt so much that he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
Xiao Yunhai didn't plan on embarrassing Lauryn. After struggling free of his hand, he smiled and said, "Mr. Lauryn, are you alright?"
Lauryn looked at his trembling hand and said with a bitter smile, "I'm fine. I just can't exert any strength."
Xiao Yunhai said, "You used too much strength just now. You'll be fine in a while."
Upon seeing Xiao Yunhai easily defeat Lauryn, who was known as the King of Strength in Hollywood, be it the celebrities or fans present, they all applauded Xiao Yunhai.
"Xiao is really amazing."
"Heavens, to be able to defeat Laurent so cleanly with one hand, Xiao's strength is simply too great."
"Xiao is worthy of being my idol. In the future, I must learn Hua Xia kung fu well and become as powerful as Xiao in the future. "
… … ….
On the stage, Xiao Yunhai came to Pippen and said with a smile, "Mr. Pippen, can I get my things now?"
Pippen smiled bitterly and said, "Of course. Xiao, you're really amazing. "
Xiao Yunhai took the certificate and trophy from Pippen, stood in front of the microphone and said, "Mr. Pippen and Mr. Lauryn, thank you very much for the surprise you brought me. However, I still hope that there will be fewer such surprises."
"Pfft."
"Hahaha."
Xiao Yunhai's first sentence amused all the audience.
Pippen and Lauryn looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Yunhai continued, "However, I really have to thank the Oscar committee for this huge surprise that 'Valiant Heroes' was able to win the Best Foreign Film Award. If you can continue to surprise me at the Best Director Award, I think I will consider treating you to the most delicious Hua Xia dishes. "
"Hahaha."
"I didn't expect Xiao to be so humorous."
"That's my idol."
The audience below the stage gave Xiao Yunhai a warm round of applause without holding back.
Xiao Yunhai said, "I remember the first time I came to America. It gave me a sense of freedom. All kinds of cultures are intertwined to form a very special American culture. I think this cultural atmosphere is one of the most important reasons why Hollywood can become the world's entertainment center. "
"As a director from Hua Xia, standing on this podium facing the whole world, I have to promote my motherland. Because on the first day it entered the 21st century, it opened the door of the entire entertainment circle and opened its arms to excellent filmmakers from all over the world. "
"In this country with 5,000 years of history and a quarter of the world's population, there is no doubt about the potential of film. The guests here are all the best in Hollywood. I sincerely hope that you can go to Hua Xia and have a look. You will find that it is very suitable for filming. Whether it is mountains, rivers, hills, or mountains, Hua Xia has everything. "
"Well, that's all for now. I am afraid that if I say too much, the committee will ask me for advertising fees. I guess the cost of such an occasion may not be low. If I can't afford it, I will be in trouble. "
"Hahaha."
In the end, Xiao Yunhai raised the trophy in his hand and said, "Thank you to the Oscar committee for giving me this award. Thank you to all the main cast of 'Valiant Heroes' for their efforts. Also, thank you to the fans of 'Valiant Heroes'. Without your support, I would not be standing here. Thank you, thank you. In my heart, you are the best. "
"Woo."
Xiao Yunhai's words made the fans scream crazily.
