Chapter 315 The Best TV Drama Director in Chinese History
The last award of the Golden Phoenix Award is the top ten TV series of the year. Chen Hanzhu, the chairman of the organizing committee, opened the letter in his hand and looked at Zuo Le in the audience with complicated eyes.
“The winners of the 51st Golden Phoenix Awards’ Top Ten TV Dramas of the Year are——
"Bright Sword"
"Lotus Lantern"
"Seven Swords 2"
"Big Dyeing Workshop"
"The Miracle Doctor's Joy"
"..."
Five out of ten, one out of two.
In an instant, all the eyes and cameras in the venue were focused on Zuo Le. The venue was quiet for three or four seconds before thunderous applause broke out.
Zuo Le personally led the team, and the three major directors Kong Sheng, Gao Xinjian, and Xue Junshanhe followed suit. The four of them stood on the stage, each holding a trophy in their hands, and Gao Xinjian held two.
Lao Gao is very happy. He has become the fourth director after Zuo Le to win two top ten films in the same year.
The only pity is that Zuo Le has achieved this achievement four times before, making this record a bit worthless.
But even so, Gao Xinjian was very satisfied, especially when he saw that his rival Kong Sheng only had one trophy in his hand.
He even began to wonder if he would fight a few more times in the future. If Kong Sheng was more capable than him, he would be able to make up for his shortcomings with diligence and win with quantity.
In addition, it is also worth mentioning that Zuo Le won the annual top ten awards this year, which is the tenth time he has won this award.
This also means that Zuo Le has surpassed Mr. Ma Jin, who tied with him nine times, and holds the historical record of having the most number of Golden Phoenix Awards won by one person in the top ten most influential TV dramas.
Truly unprecedented.
What's even more terrifying is that Zuo Le is just in his early 30s this year and is in the golden period of his career.
With his strength, there is a high chance that he will still be a regular in the top ten events of the year in the future. By then, he will not only be unprecedented, but may also achieve a legendary record that will make future generations despair.
Ten of the top ten TV dramas of the year.
Four times Best Director.
Four times annual ratings champion.
Become famous in 2016, become a god in 2020,
This year 2021, Zuo Le has become a living legend in the field of TV dramas.
The industry no longer knows how to evaluate him. All they can do is worship him.
After this year's Golden Phoenix Awards ceremony, all major media outlets made rainbow farts about Zuo Le. Chen Xi, the former chairman of the Golden Phoenix Awards who had not been around for a long time, rarely came out for interviews.
The old man said that Zuo Le has already conquered the stage of the Golden Phoenix Awards. He will not be surprised if Zuo Le achieves any amazing achievements at the Golden Phoenix Awards in the future. Zuo Le deserves to be the best director in the history of Chinese TV dramas.
Mr. Chen's wild praise even shocked Zuo Le and called him to ask if Yan Kui was sending gifts to the old man behind his back.
After getting a negative answer, Zuo Le also speculated that Chen Hanzhu was behind the scenes and invited the old man to kill him.
However, Zuo Le quickly refuted this idea. Although he and the old man were not familiar with each other, they still had some communication. With the old man's character, he would never disdain to use these evil ways.
Besides, he and the old man have no grudges. Last time Chen Hanzhu caused trouble, he even invited the old man to come out and seek justice.
Could it be that the old man was impressed by my upright character and graceful appearance, so he said these heartfelt words and cheered for me?
Zuo Le thought for a long time, and this was the only reason that could explain the old man's behavior.

…………
However, no matter what the reasons are behind Mr. Chen, he has been in charge of the Golden Phoenix Awards for decades and is a leading figure in the television industry, with terrifying prestige.
He called Zuo Le the best TV drama director in Chinese history, which immediately received responses from many people.
Of course, where there is praise, there is also denigration. Zuo Le is not money, so there are many people who are dissatisfied and hate him.
So this group of people found a bunch of evidence to prove that Zuo Le is still far from the best TV drama director in Chinese history.
Unfortunately, Zuo Le's record is too amazing.
Not many TV drama directors themselves are famous, and many directors immediately go to the film industry to develop their careers after becoming famous.
This has led to many of the country's top famous directors, although they are strong and have high status, but because they have not deeply cultivated in the field of TV dramas, their performance cannot be compared with Zuo Le, and they have been beaten down in various ways.
After all, the review is about the best TV drama director in Chinese history. No matter how high the film's achievements are, it doesn't count.
After much competition, Mr. Ma Jin, who had retired for many years, was finally moved out.
This was also the undisputed king of domestic TV dramas before Zuo Le made his debut, and only he could compete with the current one who is so popular.
A data geek opened a special data post on Zhihu, trying to analyze this battle between left and horse.
First of all, in terms of ratings: Mr. Ma is definitely better than Zuo Le.
It is common for his works to exceed 10%, and only to be considered a hit drama if it exceeds 30%. The most popular one even reached a 69%. At that time, the streets were empty, and the whole country was following the drama.
However, the respondent also pointed out that when the old man became famous, the domestic film and television industry had just started, and few TV series were produced in a year. As long as the quality was acceptable, it was easy to kill everyone.
In contrast, now that the Internet is developed and entertainment has already diversified, TV platforms are gradually becoming less popular.
It was even more difficult for Zuo Le to achieve a ratings of over 6% under such circumstances than when the old man achieved 69%.
Then there is the word-of-mouth rating: Zuo Le almost achieved an overwhelming victory on this point.
Zuo Le's works are all rated above 8 points, while Mr. Ma's works are generally rated at 6 or 7 points. Very few of them can be rated as high-quality products, and there are only two works with a score of 9 or above.
Regarding this item, the respondent also specifically stated that the low rating of Mr. Ma’s works was mainly due to the limitations of the times.
The era when Mr. Ma made TV dramas was too far away from now. Many of the plot and character settings in his TV dramas may have seemed trendy and interesting at the time, but when viewed by future generations, most of them cannot be said to be outstanding.
Douhua users, many of whom are young users, look at the TV series at that time with today's perspective. Except for some handed down classics that are not bound by the times, the rest of the works have low scores, which is normal.
Then there are the awards: the two are almost tied.
Zuo Le's ten top ten awards were better than Ma Lao's nine, and Ma Lao's five Best Director wins were better than Zuo Le's four.
If it comes to other awards, Zuo Le has more awards, but the main reason is that the Golden Phoenix Awards did not have so many awards back then. At that time, the Golden Phoenix Awards only had the best director, screenwriter, and the top ten awards.
As for the miscellaneous awards such as best supporting actor and actress, photography, soundtrack, etc., they were added one after another later.
At the same time, Zuo Le only presented two Emperors and one Queen, while Mr. Ma held out seven or eight Emperors and Queens in total.
But again, at that time, the domestic film and television industry was just starting out, and there were fewer wolves and more meat. The value of "Emperor and Queen" at that time was not the same as it is now.
So both sides have their own advantages in terms of awards, so it’s barely a 50-50 split.
Finally, in terms of influence: Mr. Ma is stronger.
This is actually a hidden disadvantage for Zuo Le. He became famous in 2016 and has only been popular for five or six years now.
Mr. Ma is over 90 this year. Even though he is a low-key person and doesn't like to show up in public, his decades of accumulation is no joke.
Finally, the respondent came to the conclusion that judging from the current results, Mr. Ma still has a slight advantage over Zuo Le. Dan Zuo Le is still young, and it will be a matter of time before he overtakes him.
This respondent's post has been approved by many people, but also many people are dissatisfied.
There is no winner in this battle between left and horse.
But what is certain is that under the background of Mr. Ma's retirement, everyone has acquiesced in the fact that Zuo Le is infinitely close to the best TV drama director in Chinese history.
He is only one or two years away from becoming the new king without any controversy...
