Chapter 408 Zuo Le's Ordinary and Extraordinary Day
Golden Phoenix Awards Ceremony Stage
Zuo Le took the trophy from Chen Hanzhu and hugged him very politely, which made Lao Chen a little flattered.
Although the relationship between the two parties is much closer now, they are all just acting on occasion, and they still have a grudge against each other.
For example, Chen Hanzhu has never given up the idea of suppressing Shanhe. Now it is also because Shanhe is strong. If he finds that Shanhe is weak in the future, he will not hesitate to return the Golden Phoenix Award to the beautiful era of "letting a hundred flowers bloom".
Zuo Le and Shanhe also knew Chen Hanzhu's thoughts, so they seemed to be okay with the Golden Phoenix Award organizing committee, but in fact they had a very cold attitude towards it.
But this time, Lao Chen was also sensible and made an exception as the chairman to award the award, which suddenly defined this award as a historical one and gave Zuo Le a lot of honor.
Zuo Le reciprocated the favor, and it was rare for him to appear closer to Chen Hanzhu.
Don’t underestimate this small hug. In a sense, it shows the outside world Shanhe’s friendly attitude towards the Golden Phoenix Award. At the critical moment when Zuo Le and the Golden Dragon Award were in a stalemate, this statement was very important.
Zuo Le's cooperation made Chen Hanzhu very happy. He even had the intention to give up suppressing Shanhe. The Golden Phoenix Award and Shanhe went hand in hand to suppress the Golden Dragon Award.
But in an instant, Chen Hanzhu gave up this idea.
If any award company forms a long-term monopoly, it will be a big blow to the activity and expectations of the award, and the outside world will gradually reduce its attention to the award.
If Lao Chen had some private thoughts before, now it is entirely out of the public interest of the Chairman of the Golden Phoenix Award Organizing Committee.
For long-term considerations, he must put an end to Shanhe's monopoly on half of the Golden Phoenix Awards.
As for Zuo Le and Shanhe, they will not lower the quality of TV dramas because they take into account the concerns of Chen Hanzhu and others. It is only natural that the dramas will win awards.
The performance and reputation quality of the Shanhe drama is at stake. If the Golden Phoenix Award violates fair selection, they will make a fuss and question the credibility of the Golden Phoenix Award.
Frankly speaking, both parties are not wrong. Each has its own position and completely different interests and needs, which makes them destined not to become true allies and partners.
Maintaining false harmony together is already the best way for both parties to get along...
………
After a round of acting with Lao Chen, it was time for Zuo Le to give his acceptance speech.
Having won the Best Director award five times in a row, Zuo Le had already mastered his thank-you speeches, and he said them smoothly. He also expressed his apologies to Kong Sheng and other competitors.
In the eyes of many people, Zuo Le has already won four times. He is still young and it is only a matter of time before he breaks the record. It is better to give some opportunities to the people below.
In fact, Zuo Le himself also had this thought. After all, Kong Sheng was from Shanhe, and winning the award was considered an honor from Shanhe.
Outsiders would not think that Shanhe was in decline, but would think that in the past Shanhe had only Zuo Le to carry the banner, but now that there is another Kong Sheng, Shanhe has added wings to the tiger, making it more difficult to deal with.
But sometimes life is like this, and the development of things is not based on human will.
Zuo Le had even convinced himself, but someone happened to give him a surprise.
Although I had the idea of accomplishing Kong Sheng, it does not mean that if the award is awarded to him, Zuo Le will refuse.
He has never personally interfered with the award selection. It is entirely the result of the judges' decision. The reputation and achievements of "Latent" are obvious to all, and he has a clear conscience in winning this award.
On the way to Guangdong to attend the awards ceremony, Tian Yan interviewed him. He himself hoped to win the "Best Director". In front of the camera, Zuo Le did not answer directly.
But the subtext in his heart is very clear. He will sincerely bless Kong Sheng if he wins the award, but he will also do his part if he wins the award.
Although I am happy to win the award, it is not the first time after all. To say how excited and happy Zuo Le is is somewhat exaggerated.
Even though Chen Hanzhu keeps saying that he has already matched history and created a new legend.
But Zuo Le himself may be a fan of the authorities and did not feel how sacred and glorious this moment was.
If there was some majestic and majestic BGM, he might be able to get into the drama, but just relying on his own imagination, I would forgive Zuo Le for not being so full of emotions...
………
After receiving the award and stepping off the stage, Zuo Le had just settled down and before he could say hello to the few people around him who were congratulating him, the camera of "Tian Yan Shuo" came over.
Tian Yan looked at him very excitedly: "You have tied Ma Lao's historical achievements and become the well-deserved best TV drama director in history. What do you think at this moment?"
Zuo Le lowered his head and thought about it. The program team and even the guests sitting around him were staring at him closely, preparing to listen to the inspiring speech of the new king of TV dramas.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Le raised his head, spread his hands, and said with a bit of regret: "Did I forget to promote your program on stage just now?"
Tian Yan was speechless, and the surrounding guests and many staff members of "Tian Yan Shuo" could not help but collapse.
It was obvious that Zuo Le had just achieved an epic achievement and became the undoubted true king in a single field. They all felt trembling in the audience. Why wasn't Zuo Le himself excited?
Ignoring these crazy people, Zuo Le looked at Kong Sheng, who was approaching from a short distance away, handed him the trophy, and said jokingly.
"Touch it, you're so envious."
The two have known each other for several years and are both teachers and friends. A "Best Director" trophy is not enough to make the two of them have bad blood. If Zuo Le loses, he will choose to bless Kong Sheng, and the same goes for Kong Sheng.
"Congratulations."
Kong Sheng first congratulated him, then took the trophy, and held it with some nostalgia for two days. After all, he didn't hold back and let out a bit of resentment.
"The best opportunity this year didn't work out. I don't know which year or month I will get it next time."
"Why are you in a hurry? Pick a good script and fight again next year." Zuo Le comforted,
"Next year? Unless you give me the script of "Mao Liang", I won't care about next year's award."
Kong Sheng's face hurt. He had read the script of "Mao Liar". From his professional director's point of view, even if this drama didn't get a lot of ratings, it would still have an amazing reputation.
Unless there is another TV series that breaks 4 or 5 levels, he really has no confidence to compete with Zuo Le's "Mao Liar", but TV series of this level are hard to come by and cannot be obtained casually.
"Don't be discouraged. I still have a good script. It's a semi-serious drama, an imaginary historical drama. You can try it later. If you're afraid of running into "Mao Liang", just put it in the year after next."
"What drama? Why haven't I heard you talk about it?"
"Let me talk to you later. This drama has a lot of feel. It has the meaning of a historical drama, but the style is more relaxed than some historical dramas. It has a chance of good results."
Kong Sheng, who had not started a new play since the end of Mansion Gate, was aroused by Zuo Le's words and immediately said: "I will talk to you about this script when I get back."
After comforting Kong Sheng, Zuo Le turned back to look at Tian Yan and said eloquently: "The new work of the famous director Kong Sheng is another selling point. You see, I have worked so hard for your program, so I can't add any additional advertising fees."
"Jiajiajia, don't talk about money, I will give you all the people."
"Don't do this."
Zuo Lezheng waved his hand righteously: "I have a wife, and we are very loving. Your program team should not engage in such crooked ways."
Tian Yan: “…”
………
Zuo Le and Tian Yan were joking, and the "Best Actress" of this year's Golden Phoenix Awards was also presented on stage.
Not surprisingly, Gao Wa won this year's Best Actress for her role as Mistress Bai in "The Mansion". This is also the second time she has won the Golden Phoenix Award.
When Kong Sheng in the audience saw this scene, the haze in his heart dissipated a lot. Although he did not win the [Best Director], it was an achievement that his work was praised by the audience.
Kong Sheng was happy, but Xue Jun was a little disappointed.
Previously, Gao Wa was shortlisted for two TV drama nominations, and winning the award was almost certain, but no one knew for which role she won the award for her role in the two TV series "Mansion Gate" and "Detective Di Renjie".
Xue Jun is self-aware. Although the performance of "Detective Di Renjie" is good, it is only good, and cannot be compared with "Mansion Gate" and "Latent".
[Best Director] He doesn't want to think about it anymore. In the battle for the emperor, Liang Damin's chances of counterattack are not high. For several important awards, the only one that has some hope is Gao Wa's nomination.
If Gao Wa's final award-winning role is Wu Zetian in "Detective Di Renjie", then he will be the one to win the title, and it will undoubtedly be a significant addition to Xue Jun's qualifications.
It's a pity that God did not fulfill people's wishes.
Zuo Le defeated Kong Sheng, and Kong Sheng took advantage of him in a blink of an eye. Xue Jun wanted to imitate Kong Sheng and launched a counterattack, but he was powerless.
In the ensuing battle to become emperor, Chen Guo defeated Sun Lei with an extremely small advantage and was granted the title of Golden Phoenix Emperor three times.
Last year Li Youbin achieved a historical achievement. Just one year ago, he had a companion...
The male and female protagonists of "The Manor" both won the Queen's TV Drama. This is also the second time in the history of the Golden Phoenix Awards that the same work has won the Queen's TV Drama.
Kong Sheng's expression turned from cloudy to clear.
It's a blessing in disguise, but it's not a blessing. In one sense, I picked up a pair of emperors and queens. In a sense, it's even more impressive than winning him the "Best Director" award.
It's a pity that Chen Guo and Gao Wa are both veteran drama stars who have been famous for a long time. They have also won the title of Queen of the Emperor before, which slightly reduced Kong Sheng's achievements.
If this is the first time for the two of them to be crowned emperor and queen, then Kong Sheng will be really famous and will become the favorite of all actors in the future.
You know, Zuo Le is so fierce, but he has only been promoted three times to watch the emperor's eyes, Yan Ni (1) and Li Youbin (2).
But even so, Kong Sheng's status is rapidly rising in the hearts of many actors, and he has become one of the directors they most want to work with.
That is to say, this year Zuo Leda has achieved the unprecedented achievement of five consecutive kills for [Best Director], otherwise he would have to beat Kong.
As of now, these are the two crews that have received the most attention at this year’s Golden Phoenix Awards.
"Mansion Gate" won [Best Actor], [Best Actress], [Best Supporting Actor], [Best Screenplay] and [Best Score].
"Insidious" won [Best Director], [Best Supporting Actress] and two behind-the-scenes awards.
In addition, two TV series are firmly listed in the "Top Ten Most Popular TV Series of the Year".
"House Gate" won a total of 6 awards, while "Insidious" only won 5. On the surface, the number seems to be about the same, but "House Gate" won more important awards, and in the end it was better.
This is also the first time that Zuo Le failed in the Golden Phoenix Award selection after dominating the Golden Phoenix Awards for four consecutive years in 2018 with "Seven Swords", 2019 with "Wulin Gaiden", 20 years with "Enter Guandong", and 2021 with "Bright Sword".
halberd.
Although he has always said that he is honored and no longer obsessed with the Golden Phoenix Award, Zuo Le feels a little uncomfortable when he really sees being surpassed by others.
Next year, just next year, I will give "Mao Liar" one last try, and then I will no longer care about the rights and wrongs of the Golden Phoenix Awards...
Zuo Le silently made a vow "for the last time" in his heart, and then went on stage with Kong Sheng and others to receive the award [Top Ten TV Dramas of the Year].
Last year at the Golden Phoenix Awards, [Top Ten TV Dramas of the Year] Shanhe Drama won five places.
"Bright Sword", "Lotus Lantern", "Seven Swords", "Da Ranfang" and "Miracle Doctor Xilaile", when Zuo Le and others stood in front of the stage holding five trophies, the saying that Shanhe accounted for half of the Golden Phoenix Awards won them all
people's approval.
But this year, half of the country is no longer enough to meet the needs of Shanhe.
"Latent"
"Mansion Gate"
"Serious Case Group 6 3"
"Detective Di Renjie"
"Prequel to the Lotus Lantern"
"College Student's Story 3"
Six out of ten may seem a bit exaggerated, but the data does not lie.
Of these six Shanhe dramas, one broke 4, two broke 3, and the remaining three all had ratings above 2.5, and none of the Douhua ratings were lower than 8.5.
Pick out a movie at random and you won’t be able to fault it in terms of ratings, word-of-mouth ratings, and online influence.
For God's sake, if Chen Hanzhu had some way to pick someone who could fight from the TV series broadcast this year, even if he was pushed to the top and caused controversy from the outside world, he would admit it with gritted teeth.
It's a pity that these bad dramas are not good enough. Chen Hanzhu spent a long time choosing. Except for the four dramas that have already won awards, the rest are really just mud and cannot hold up the wall.
Forcibly promoting one's own awards is not a matter of controversy, but a matter of throwing dirty water on one's own awards...
So Chairman Chen finally pinched his nose and admitted it.
The Golden Phoenix Awards presentation stage has directly become half of the Shanhe director show.
When Zuo Le, Kong Sheng, Xue Jun, Gao Xinjian and Wang Qian stood on the stage holding six trophies, everyone in the audience had only one voice in their hearts.
The mountains and rivers are awesome!!!!
………
After returning from the Golden Phoenix Awards ceremony, Zuo Le and Tian Yan found a Cantonese restaurant to have dinner while recording the final interview.
The previous hot spots have almost been accumulated, and the interview stage is more about talking about the private lives of celebrities, which is a topic that the audience likes more.
What do you like to eat, what are your hobbies, which celebrity you like, what sports activities you like, which actor you are most looking forward to working with, your favorite movie, whether you have plans for a second child, who your idol is, and so on...
Zuo Le didn't hide anything. He said everything he could answer. He likes to eat meat, likes watching dramas and filming movies and sleeping in. He likes football and looks forward to working with all outstanding actors. His favorite movies are "Wulin Gaiden" and "Charlotte".
"Trouble", there are no plans for a second child at the moment, and the idol is a teacher...
After recording these, the material for the first special episode of "Tian Yan Shuo" was considered enough. Tian Yan also asked Zuo Le to give this special episode a name.
Zuo Le looked at the topic [Zuo Le, the best in history] that had reached the top five on the hot search list on his mobile phone, and suddenly he had an idea.
"Why don't we just call Zuo Le an ordinary yet extraordinary day? I like to be low-key..."
