Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three What is the Actor Award?
"Tonight...tonight...let us..."
At the Golden Dragon Award Ceremony, Sha Bei read the opening remarks skillfully and emotionally, while Feng Yang stood by to cheer him up.
After all, Feng Yang is a live broadcaster and variety show star, and has never hosted similar ceremonies and evenings. He is qualified to be a host mainly because of his high popularity and related business capabilities, which are still not as good as those of his experienced seniors.
Therefore, the host of this Golden Dragon Awards is basically Sha Bei, with Feng Yang assisting.
This is also the configuration of the host in many formal occasions, with the old leading the new, or professionally allocating traffic, which not only ensures the hosting standard, but also attracts attention.
All of this requires Lin Xiaoye to pull out his brainless skills and whip the corpse. If he could be a little smarter, he wouldn't be scolded so miserably...
At this time, Zuo Le already knew that the outside world was causing a stir on the Internet because of "The Big Bang Theory", but at this time, he had no time to sort out the matter.
Putting away his cell phone, Zuo Le looked like he was not listening to what was going on outside the window and concentrated on watching the awards.
Shen Teng and the others next to him saw his actions, exchanged glances with each other, and laughed in their hearts.
They have known Zuo Le for a long time, and several of them even participated in the Golden Phoenix Awards with Zuo Le many times. They clearly knew Zuo Le's state during the Golden Phoenix Awards, and he was really calm and relaxed.
I can’t say that I don’t care at all, but I do have low mood swings. Sometimes when I see someone within the company win an award, Zuo Le will be even happier than myself.
Everyone knows that Zuo Le was so invincible at the Golden Phoenix Awards that he felt lonely.
Zuo Le has won almost all the honors he could get in Jinfengxi, and has broken countless records.
If it weren't for his lack of age, Zuo Le would have been qualified to win the Golden Phoenix Award, which has only been awarded seven times over fifty years.
So Zuo Le's perception of the Golden Phoenix Awards has long since become normal.
On the contrary, for today's Golden Dragon Award, Zuo Le is still the first candidate. He has a strong sense of freshness and his posture is somewhat different from that of the Golden Phoenix Award.
It’s not to mention nervous. After all, Zuo Le has also been a big shot in the industry for many years. Moreover, he knows in advance that he will miss some important awards, so he won’t have any entangled expectations in his heart.
But it was the first time in his life to participate in a film award. Zuo Le was very serious and focused, which vaguely meant that he participated in the Golden Phoenix Award for the first time in 2016...
Zuo Le had no idea what these people were thinking, otherwise he would have cried out that they were wronged.
He does have some yearning for the Golden Dragon Award, and he does not deny that this is part of the reason for his current posture, but more importantly, it is to give Chu Qin face.
Baba invited him here and gave him a lot of face. Due to circumstances and reasons, he also had to show respect to others.
In addition, there is another most important question. He just learned about the rumors about himself and Feng Yang on the red carpet from his mobile phone, and he only had one word in his heart.
Danger!
Danger!!
Danger Danger!!!
The Miao knife at home is not a decoration. My father-in-law helps maintain and polish it every time he comes to the house. Zuo Le once saw Tian Yan use this Miao knife to cut half an inch into a wooden pile with one stroke.
It's half an inch bigger, and it's still made of wood. This would have to be replaced by his small body...
Madam Tian, please give me a suspended death sentence.
Zuo Le felt that it was necessary for him to sit upright and not think twice. In the camera, he showed the feeling that all the beauties are just pink skeletons and I am focused on my career.
Compared with family harmony and life safety, even the Golden Dragon Award [Best Director] has to give in...
…………
While Zuo Le was working hard to perform, the Golden Dragon Award ceremony was also getting underway.
The Golden Phoenix Awards award behind-the-scenes awards first, and then the actor awards, with the small awards first and the grand awards second.
The Golden Dragon Awards are awarded in a coordinated manner, that is, a small award is awarded first, then an important award, and so on.
The good thing about this is that the ratings are evenly distributed, which can attract as many viewers as possible to watch the live broadcast.
Like the Golden Phoenix Awards, due to the routine of starting with the smaller ones and then the bigger ones, many viewers don't watch the live broadcast of the previous awards. They only watch the live broadcast of the later awards when the time is almost up.
The bad thing is that one big prize and one small prize are awarded consecutively, and the big prize can easily steal the limelight of the small prize.
For example, some unimportant behind-the-scenes awards do not attract much attention and have a weak sense of presence. Let's show up together and comfort each other.
But next to the grand prize, the limelight was completely crushed, and even this little consolation was gone.
As the saying goes, any system has two sides, it all depends on the choice.
The Golden Phoenix Award is relatively more focused on the feelings of the winners, while the method of the Golden Dragon Award is of great help to the overall live broadcast ratings. Even Zuo Le himself cannot objectively evaluate who is good and who is bad.
But speaking from the selfish point of view of a film and television worker, he appreciates the approach of the Golden Phoenix Awards more...
The first group of awards of the Golden Dragon Awards are [Best Film Music] and [Best Newcomer].
For these two awards, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has been shortlisted.
The Golden and Silver Dragon Award for "Best Film Music" and the Golden Phoenix Award for "Best Soundtrack" are not much different, except that the former focuses more on theme songs and interludes, while the latter is more focused on interludes and soundtracks.
When it comes to the music of the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the most famous one is "Calories", which became an Internet celebrity after the movie was released and is still popular on major short video platforms.
Unfortunately, this song was cheerful and lively, but lacked some depth. In the end, the "Best Film Music" award was won by a Hong Kong movie.
This movie is the work of a famous Hong Kong boss. Several top musicians from Hong Kong and Taiwan were invited to compose the lyrics and music. The piano accompanist is the number one pianist in the country. The singer is Zhang Geshen. The lineup is luxurious.
The song is also quite good, the melody is sad and ethereal, and it was played when the male protagonist died, making it extremely tear-jerking.
Zuo Le dared not say that he was convinced of his defeat, but he had no objection to the award.
Afterwards, Duan Long did not face any decent opponents in the [Best Newcomer] award and won easily.
As expected by many, Duan Long performed well in "Dumpling Detective" and was also the most famous of the five finalists for "Best Newcomer".
To put it bluntly, awards like this [Best Newcomer Award], which is of an encouraging nature, often select the person with the greatest reputation or the person with the highest voice.
The reason is to avoid disputes.
Awarded to the person with the greatest voice or reputation. The others are not powerful enough to cause trouble.
But if the award is given to someone below him and the person below him refuses to accept it, it might cause controversy.
Therefore, some unspoken rules gradually came into being. Anyway, it was just a small or medium-sized encouragement award, which was almost enough, so why bother causing trouble.
Of course, if there is a dark horse that performs particularly amazingly and is enough to overwhelm all external factors, then that is a different story.
At the same time, this rule only applies to newcomer awards that are of an encouraging nature. Awards such as [Best Supporting Actor] and [Best Actress] will not work.
Those who can be shortlisted have certain foundations, and those who are not good candidates are not good. If they are chosen based on fame and popularity, others will definitely not accept it, so they must be compared based on their true abilities.
Although the Golden Dragon Award and the Golden Phoenix Award, the two highest awards in the industry, are not subjective, they will inevitably have some influence.
They are also willing to avoid some trouble if the conditions are right.
For example, Duan Long, or Zuo Le, who was nominated for "Best New Director".
When the host asked the award presenter to present the award, everyone present looked at Zuo Le, and the live camera kept slapping him in the face, and the other four words were already ready to applaud and bless him.
This award is the least suspenseful award at this year's Golden Dragon Awards. From the moment the nomination list appears, the ending has been spoiled.
Sure enough, as the word "Zuo Le" came out of the mouth of the award-winning guest, the venue burst into thunderous applause. Zuo Le stood up, clasped his hands together, greeted left and right, and then went on stage.
After shaking hands with the host and the award-presenting guests, Zuo Le took the trophy and delivered his acceptance speech.
"To be honest, this award is a bit hard to win. As a seasoned chef who has been in the industry for so many years, I feel a little ashamed to be competing with a group of queens.
But at the same time, I really want to thank all the judges of this year’s Golden Dragon Awards jury for allowing me to stand on the stage of this award ceremony in an upright manner and fulfilling my dream of becoming a film director.
At the same time... I also let out the bad energy I had been building up for several years!"
bang bang bang
Zuo Le's words caused the venue to burst into excitement. There were constant applause, screams and boos. No one expected that Zuo Le would mention it again, causing a lot of trouble.
It’s so exciting!
However, Zuo Le did not go as they expected. He made a complaint and immediately ignored it. He delivered a standard speech in a serious manner, which was probably all kinds of thanks. Then he talked about his feelings during the production of the film and then left the stage obediently.
Zuo Le's "duty" made Chu Qin and others backstage heave a long sigh of relief. They were afraid that this person would get too excited and make everyone unable to get off the stage.
Fortunately, Zuo Le only mentioned it briefly, and also pointed the finger at Lin Xiaoye, and even praised them a few times, so everyone's face was not damaged.
Moreover, Zuo Le, the person involved, expressed his position in public, which to a certain extent accelerated the turn of events in this matter.
Say it’s non-toxic!
Zuo Le, the victim, has said that it has passed, and there is no need for outsiders to keep pressing the matter. From this point of view, Zuo Le has also helped the Golden Dragon Award.
"Zuo Dao Renyi."
Chu Qin, who worked happily with Zuo Le, became more and more puzzled about Lin Xiaoye's brain circuit. For such a kind person, why did he have to make others anxious.
The longer Chu Qin took charge of the Golden Dragon Award, the more shocked and speechless he became at the various actions of the previous Lin University Chairman.
He even suspected that if Lin Xiaoye could become the chairman of the Golden Dragon Award Jury, it was either because he was bewitched when he took office, or he was bewitched after he became the chairman.
In short, there must be someone with a brain problem here...
………
After Duan Long and Zuo Le achieved success one after another, Wu Jing's [Best Action Director] hit a wall.
This is not surprising. "Dumpling Detective" itself is a comedy movie. Although there are some action scenes, the scope is not large, and due to the subject matter, many of the actions are based on reality, so it is not very exciting.
In contrast, some martial arts or ancient costume stories have flying swords and ethereal figures, so the fight scenes are naturally good-looking and extra points. It is normal for Wu Jing to lose.
Even Wu Jing himself had expected this. He didn't come to the awards ceremony at all this time and was on a certain crew to attend a scene.
Later, Zuo Le also expected to lose the "Best Director" award, but he paid special attention to the Golden Dragon Award "Best Director" trophy.
It is similar to the [Best New Director] Demon King in his hand, but the overall volume is larger and the color is darker. It is said that the material and weight have also changed.
Zuo Le wanted to touch it with his own hands. He felt that it would be more comfortable to hold the trophy than his own...
After [Best Director], the remaining awards for Shanhe Films are [Best Picture], [Best Supporting Actor] and Best Actor [Best Actor].
[Best Picture] As mentioned before, no comedy film has ever won the award, so there is basically no hope.
[Best Actor] It's hard to say. Shen Teng is popular enough, his acting skills are okay, and he can barely pass the threshold for a celebrity status. However, the fact that "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is a comedy movie is his biggest weakness.
Comedy movies are at a huge disadvantage in the competition for awards. Although the competition for best actor is not as fierce as the two awards of "Best Director" and "Best Picture", there are still very few winners.
Fifty-two years ago, there were only three pure comedy films that won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Actor and one for Best Actress. The difficulty of winning the award was very high, and it was at the forefront among many themes.
Although Shen Teng is now very popular in the film industry, in the final analysis he is just a newcomer who has just entered the industry. It is too difficult to create miracles.
Not to mention that none of his four competitors are ordinary people. If you pick one at random, they are all well-known figures in the entertainment industry.
Shen Teng's chances of winning the prize are not even in the top three.
Even Zuo Le, who wanted to prove himself for comedy movies, had to admit it when he saw this scene.
Nowadays, the strength of comedy movies lies in commercial box office, not awards competition.
For Shen Teng, being nominated for the Golden Dragon Award for a comedy film has already proven his strength.
To be a human being, you need to be content, and you can't take everything.
Shen Teng's two movies, "Charlotte Troubles" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", were box office hits and became the fastest person to earn 5 billion in box office.
Now, Shen Teng is one of the hottest actors in the film industry. Countless movie scripts are waiting for him to act in it. I don’t know how many movie actors are envious and jealous of him.
If he continues to worry about his failure to win Best Actor, if he goes out for a walk at night, someone might beat him with a sack.
[Best Picture] is hopeless, and [Best Actor] has a low chance. However, for the remaining [Best Supporting Actor], Zuo Le and Sha Yi are both shortlisted, so they have a good chance of winning.
Although Sha Yi has focused his career on variety shows in recent years and has also started a catering side business, he has not lost his career as an actor and produces new works every year.
The Golden Dragon Award [Best Supporting Actor] is a pretty good honor for an actor.
Speaking of which, Sha Yi has received many nominations for his Shanhe drama, including the Golden Phoenix Awards for "Best Actor", "Best Supporting Actor", "Most Popular Character of the Year", "Best Newcomer", etc. He has been shortlisted for all awards.
Unfortunately, I don’t know whether it’s due to poor luck or shallow luck, but I haven’t been able to get what I wanted. With this Golden Dragon Award, Sha Yi hopes to make a strong mark on his resume as an actor.
Not to mention Zuo Le.
He has won countless awards for work, screenwriting, and director, but this is the first time he has won the actor award.
As a serious stamp collector, he would like to experience what it feels like to win an actor award...
