Chapter 209: Fierce Competition for Awards (3/3)
In the end, Zuo Le still agreed to Han Zhong's invitation.
In addition to Han Zhong's affirmation of Zuo Le's acting skills, he was a little embarrassed to refuse.
Another important reason is that Han Zhong asked him to play the role, relatively speaking, there is no concern that he will not be able to play well and tarnish the sages.
This character doesn't have many scenes, almost all of them are in Qing palace scenes.
Don't get me wrong, Zuo Le is not playing Pu Yi or Zaifeng, but the last eunuch chief of the Qing Dynasty - Xiao Dezhang.
To be honest, if it weren't for someone above Lao Han, Zuo Le really wanted to call the company's security guard to block the door, and then drag the old man's neck and collar to ask.
Lao Tzu is like a eunuch!!
Let's not say how handsome he looks, at least he is dignified, a great man can't act, he can always play a warlord, what old Feng, old Duan, old Li, old Cao, Lao Wu, how to say it, he is also a big man.
No matter how bad it is, it's better to be a cannon fodder than a eunuch.........
It's a pity to inquire, the warlords and bigwigs are all domestic acting schools, and they are almost all set, Zuo Le can't top it, the batch of great people and students is filmed in the later stage, Zuo Le was going to shoot a new drama at that time, and he just hit the schedule.
As for the cannon fodder role that shows his face, Zuo Le is willing to play it, but Han Zhong quit, Zuo Le is now very popular, it would be a pity for him to play a role that shows his face and dies.
In the end, Han Zhong gave Zuo Le two roles to choose from.
One is Xiao Dezhang, who has a two-minute clip of the proclamation of the Qing Emperor's abdication, and the frontal shot is as long as forty or fifty seconds.
In addition, Zhang Xun was restored, Pu Yi was kicked out of the palace, and he also had a few minutes of play, although part of it existed as a background wall, but this performance duration can be regarded as upstream in the star-studded "A Red Boat in South Lake".
The other character is Kang Shengren, who doesn't have many lines, but shows a lot of faces, and the length of the scene is above average.
These two roles, Zuo Le finally decided to choose Xiao Dezhang after deliberation, not because he fancied that Xiao Dezhang had more plays, but because he was purely resistant to another role.
Although playing a eunuch is not good, it is better than playing a scumbag.........
.........
Han Zhong is gone, Zuo Le's role will be filmed in January, and the specific time has not yet been determined, and the crew of "A Red Boat in Nanhu" will notify him in advance.
After this incident, Zuo Le focused on "Magic Mobile", which was related to the impact of the Golden Phoenix Award at the end of the year, so he couldn't be careless.
It's already mid-November, and the Golden Phoenix Awards are still a month away, and the competitors are basically on the table.
For an award of this level as the Golden Phoenix Award, the judges of the organizing committee voted for scores, but they did not come casually.
People have to go through three processes: audition, primary selection, and re-selection, select a batch of excellent dramas, and then comprehensively consider multiple parties to select five shortlisted places, and then finally determine the attribution of the award.
This process can take a week at the earliest, and it will take more than a month to take it slowly.
Therefore, the TV series that will be broadcast in late November, if you don't say anything else, it is too late to just go through the process, and only the kind of TV series that has gone against the sky can be made by the judges to make an exception to cut the queue.
However, due to the launch of the new drama, the fermentation time is too short and the influence is limited, even if it is lucky enough to be shortlisted, it is rare to beat a group of strong opponents to win the award.
Coincidentally, in previous years, the number of high-quality dramas was limited, and Zuo Le's works achieved excellent results, so they naturally hit the ground running.
And this year, mountains and rivers suddenly broke out, and the competition for the top ten TV series of the Golden Phoenix Award has become unprecedentedly fierce.
Gao Xinjian's "Family with Children 3" broke a record rating of 2.43 and a Douhua score of 8.3, which is very promising to win the second top ten in the "Family with Children" series.
Kong Sheng's "Six Groups of Serious Cases" and "Don't Talk to Strangers" are also among the favorites, especially the latter, with an audience rating of 2.31 and a Douhua score of 9.0.
Although the Golden Phoenix Award is known as a comprehensive consideration of all aspects, it is a selection award after all, so the proportion of word-of-mouth scores is the highest in all aspects.
A word-of-mouth masterpiece like "Don't Talk to Strangers" has a good rating, and it almost won a place.
In the same way, the ratings of "Breaking the Guandong" broke 4, and the Douhua score of 9.3 also won a place, and the mountains and rivers occupied the two top ten at once, and then wanted to compete for the remaining places, the difficulty will be greatly enhanced.
Nowadays, most of the "Magic Mobile" is broadcast, and the number of scorers is huge, and the Douhua score is basically set at about 8.4~8.5, and the ratings of "Magic Mobile" are currently 2.87, which is almost a certainty in the past.
But this year's situation is special, and Zuo Le doesn't dare to guarantee whether the Phoenix Award judges will deliberately find an opportunity to squeeze out "Magic Mobile".
After all, if Zuo Le occupies two places as a single director for three consecutive years, it will really have too much impact, and it is likely that he will become a god in the field of TV dramas at a young age.
And this is something that many people don't want to see.
This is not Zuo Le's random speculation, he has already heard the news, and someone wants to take the opportunity to make a wave.
The specific method is to bribe and influence the judges of the Golden Phoenix Award, let them get rid of "Magic Mobile", and then let "Family with Children 3" or "Six Groups of Serious Cases" take the position.
slapped a sweet date, Zuo Le couldn't find a reason to turn his face angrily.
It's not fair?
The top ten TV series account for three of the TV series produced by your mountains and rivers, is this still unfair?
is a little more insidious, put a hat of jealousy and jealousy on Zuo Le, saying that he only wants to win the award himself, and if he doesn't think about his subordinates, Shanhe can't unite on his side.
............
Of course, at present, the truth of this news is uncertain, but there is no big mistake in being careful, since there is this rumor, then Zuo Le feels that he should prepare early.
The first preparation is to increase publicity efforts to help "Magic Mobile" build momentum, so that its ratings will continue to rise, and the better the ratings, the lighter the minds of those who want to do it.
The judges of the Golden Phoenix Award are not said to be bought, they are not stupid, only if the results are about the same, there will be room for manipulation, and even if Zuo Le and the audience are dissatisfied, it is difficult to question the fairness.
After all, the judges have different tastes, and it is normal to have biases, and in the case of similar results, which drama is on top for good reasons, it is difficult to say that this is shady,
If you lose, you can only say that you are "unlucky".
However, if the results of "Magic Mobile" are extraordinarily outstanding, causing everyone to think that it must be selected, so destiny, as long as the judges of the Golden Phoenix Award do not want to lose their reputation, they will not dare to risk the disapproval.
The second preparation is to brighten the muscles.
Zuo Le is not a little minion who can handle it casually, he also belongs to a big man in the circle, and there is the backer of the Dongshan Government behind him.
Some people want to calculate him, but they also have to see if they can withstand Zuo Le's counterattack.
The third preparation, he is going to find the former chairman of the Golden Phoenix Award Organizing Committee, Chen Xichen.
Although the old man has retired now, his prestige is not inferior to usual, and he is an upright person, and he hates the existence of the Golden Phoenix Award the most.
If you can invite the old man and let him beat the judges, no one will dare to think crookedly, and ensure the fairness of this year's Golden Phoenix Award to the greatest extent possible.
And as long as no one makes a stumbling block and competes fairly, with the current results of "Magic Mobile", Zuo Le is really not afraid of who he will lose.........
