Chapter 222 The Organizing Committee of the Golden Phoenix Awards
Golden Phoenix Award Ceremony Site
The camera moved over, and the standard smile on Zuo Le's face disappeared instantly, and Tian Yan, who was sitting next to him, also frowned slightly.
The awards ceremony had started for nearly half an hour, and all the behind-the-scenes awards had been awarded except for one for Best Director. However, among them, only the crew of "Enter Guandong" won the Best Soundtrack award for Shanhe, and the rest of the nominations were lost.
You know, there are six crews coming to Shanhe today, and they have been nominated for nearly 10 behind-the-scenes awards, many of which are absolutely popular.
For example, "Magic Phone" was nominated for the best visual effects. Many people thought it was a sure thing beforehand, but it ended up being lost to a fantasy drama.
This TV series adapted from a popular Internet article has poor ratings and word-of-mouth ratings. It only has one special effect, which is barely exciting.
But even so, the level of special effects performance is only on par with "Magic Phone", or even slightly inferior.
Due to the setting of the world view, the special effects scenes are very grand and seemingly gorgeous, but the details are still open to question.
What's more, this drama's performance was a hit, while "Magic Phone" had a rating of 3 and a reputation as a masterpiece. No matter how you looked at it, "Magic Phone" should have won the award, but unexpectedly it was counterattacked and killed.
There is also the best screenwriter, with two of the five spots occupied by Shanhe, Shang Qianwu from "Family with Children 3" and Zuo Le from "Guandong", Shanhe Screenwriting Department.
Not to mention Shang Qianwu's "Family with Children 3", after all, it is always difficult for sitcoms to compete for behind-the-scenes creative awards. The Golden Phoenix Awards have been established for so many years, and only last year Zuo Le won the best screenwriter for "Wulin Gaiden".
However, Zuo Le's shortlisted "Crossing Guandong" actually lost to "After the Final Battle", which simply exceeded everyone's expectations.
As the most popular TV series this year, in terms of ratings, "Enter Guandong" is the well-deserved annual ratings champion; in terms of word-of-mouth rating, Douhua scored 9.3 points and is the highest-rated TV series this year; in terms of the depth of the script, "Enter Guandong" explores the history and humanities of the two provinces and is full of family and country.
Righteousness, the main theme is no worse than the political prisoner labor camp plot in "After the Battle".
However, "Crossing Guandong" failed, and it failed without any basis.
The barrage in the live broadcast room ridiculed Zuo Le for not being compatible with the best screenwriter. He was shortlisted five times and only won the award once.
But Zuo Le himself knows that things are not that simple. The Golden Phoenix Award seems to be deliberately suppressing him...
However, Zuo Le turned around and overturned this idea. If the Golden Phoenix Awards wanted to suppress themselves, they should not do this.
The strength of "Crossing Guandong" and Shanhe Drama are on display here. They are known as the favorites of this year, and they must win some awards no matter what.
If you don’t give behind-the-scenes awards, then you have to give awards to actors. Otherwise, if you really let Shanhe run away empty-handed and provoke Zuo Le’s criticism, you are making a joke on the credibility of the Golden Phoenix Award.
The Golden Phoenix Award Organizing Committee would never dare to play this way. Even if there are one or two people who are crazy, others will not agree.
However, the problem arises again. From the perspective of the attention and even importance of the awards, the Actor Award is higher than the Behind the Scenes Award.
If the Golden Phoenix Awards organizing committee wants to suppress Shan He, it should first silence Shan He's behind-the-scenes award, and then manipulate the actor award.
In the end, Shanhe failed to win important awards, and only won a bunch of useless awards. It seemed like a huge gain, but in fact it didn't bring much benefit. Zuo Le was full of resentment and had no way to express it.
To be smarter, the behind-the-scenes award and the actor award should be awarded to Shan He in a proportional and balanced manner. A small and subtle suppression would achieve the goal, but it would not necessarily arouse Zuo Le's resistance and hostility.
However, as it is now, the behind-the-scenes award continues to be controversial, and the Golden Phoenix Award has simply pushed itself into a dead end.
If you continue to refuse to award Shan He the Actor Award, then the doubts after the ceremony will drown them out.
But if awards are given normally, Shanhe artists will have a high chance of winning multiple awards, so what’s the point of the behind-the-scenes award playing this trick before?
Is it simply disgusting?
Zuo Le really couldn't figure it out, and at the same time he was very dissatisfied with the result of the behind-the-scenes award.
No matter what the Golden Phoenix Award organizing committee thinks, Shan He, who won the Best Screenplay and Best Visual Effects awards, was indeed treated unfairly, especially the former, which can be called a shady case.
The Golden Phoenix Award Organizing Committee did not give him a satisfactory explanation afterwards, and they really thought that Zuo Le was easy to bully...
…………
Just when Zuo Le was sulking, the ceremony began to award actor awards, the first one being Best Newcomer.
A shot of five candidates appeared on the big screen, three of which were Shanhe. The guests in the venue couldn't help but marvel when they saw it.
Since Zuo Le's debut, Shanhe artists or actors in his films have appeared at the Golden Phoenix Awards every year. Especially in the past three years, there have been particularly many actors showing up.
The year before last, "Seven Swords" had strong momentum. Gu Xiaoge won four awards alone, and the male and female protagonists Yuan Ye and Shui Miaomiao were both shortlisted for the Queen of Television Awards.
Last year, "Wulin Gaiden" became a hit all over the country. It was shortlisted for all six acting awards, and finally won three, with Yan Ni taking the top spot and being crowned the winner.
This year is even more exaggerated. In addition to Zuo Le's two works, other directors from Shanhe have also put in their efforts. Except for Best Actress, all other actor awards have been shortlisted, and most of them are competing against each other.
With such a strong performance, it is hard not to be frightened. Some actors who are not very successful even have the idea of hopping to join the country.
The three best newcomers are Shen Teng, Chu Yuan and Zhang Ze. Among them, Shen Teng and Zhang Ze have the greatest chance.
Chu Yuan is still young and his acting skills are immature. Being nominated is somewhat due to the return of overseas Chinese. Otherwise, with his level, he may not be able to impress the Golden Phoenix Awards judges.
In addition, there is a girl actor who played a nurse and heroine in "After the Battle", who is considered a strong opponent of Shen Teng and Zhang Ze.
Those sitting there were pretty much aware of it, and most of their eyes were looking at the three people on the big screen. For a moment, the three people became the center of the venue.
Although Shen Teng is a newcomer in the TV industry, he has participated in similar awards in the drama industry and is still relatively calm. Zhang Ze is a soldier and has a strong psychological quality and can hold his own.
On the other hand, that girl didn't seem to have graduated from college yet. "After the Battle" was her first drama and it was about the Golden Phoenix Award. Her face was pale and her nervousness was palpable.
The presenter for the Best Newcomer Award was a veteran actor. He was relatively taciturn and went straight to the point without saying a few words: "The Best Newcomer at this year's Golden Phoenix Awards is - Shen Teng."
Zuo Le smiled and applauded. Shen Teng stood up and hugged and apologized to his colleagues Zhang Ze and Chu Yuan who were not far away. He then made a special detour to the front to hug Zuo Le. He also wanted to hug the boss lady, but Zuo Le stopped him, which attracted the kindness of the people next to him.
Laughter.
Shen Teng has a humorous personality and showed no stage fright on stage. He delivered a speech with witty remarks and even made fun of his boss, which received bursts of applause from the audience.
Seeing this, the proprietress Tian Yan couldn't help but suggest to Zuo Le: "I think this guy's words are quite interesting and he is very suitable for variety shows. You can consider developing in this area."
Zuo Le was noncommittal. Among the newcomers in Shanhe, he was most optimistic about Shen Teng. It was not impossible to participate in variety shows, but it was best to wait until he had established a firm foothold in the film and television industry.
Just like Sha Yi, Zuo Le also let him become active in the variety show industry after seeing him promoted to the front line.
Shen Teng hasn't gained momentum yet, so instead of being distracted by two things, he might as well specialize in one thing and focus on getting famous first.
After he becomes popular and famous, should he walk on the two legs of "actor + variety show", or should he remain unwavering in his career as an actor? Whatever he chooses, the company will not interfere at will.
After Shen Teng stepped down, the next award was for Best Supporting Actor. What made everyone in the audience shine was that the award ceremony was held by an acquaintance of them.
