Chapter 608: Best Rookie Actor
When attending an awards ceremony, it is not unruly to mention your new work in an interview with the media or an outfield host, and to advertise it by the way. It's not uncommon for celebrities to do this before, but it's still relatively rare to be brought out by the boos of fans like Xiao Yao.
But in any case, for tonight's "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony, Xiao Yao's new work is a digression. The advertisement was over, and Lu Ke also brought the topic back to the topic. The so-called main topic, of course, is to ask Xiao Yao some questions related to tonight's "Golden Dragon Award", that is, his thoughts on participating in the award ceremony, being nominated and his expectations for winning the award.
For these more conventional questions, Xiao Yao answered them more decently, the former is nothing more than honor and happiness, and the latter basically maintains a similar attitude as Ye Jiaying, and has some ideas about the newcomer award, and the actor is nominated is a great honor.
After the interview on the red carpet, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao walked into the theater of the awards ceremony together, and the staff at the door immediately stepped forward to bring the two to their seats.
The two are from a crew, and they are mother and son, so the organizers naturally arranged the seats of the two together.
"Bayi, I didn't expect you to really hold that animated movie to the post-production stage without asking me and your father for help!" After the two sat down, Ye Jiaying whispered to Xiao Yao, "Is there anything else you need help from the family in the future?"
Ye Jiaying, Xiao Siqi and Xiao Chengru all knew about Xiao Yao's cooperation with a special effects company to make animated films for a long time, but they said that they would let Xiao Yao toss it himself, and they didn't know the details and progress of this animated film. Xiao Yao mentioned it on the red carpet just now, and Ye Jiaying also cared about it by the way.
"In terms of funding? There should be no problem with that. Xiao Yao smiled.
"Not only in terms of funding," Ye Jiaying said, "I can help you recommend and contact some more powerful companies and people for post-production talents, such as editors and the like, as well as the distribution company, publicity company, and the process of submitting for review." ”
"There are talents in post-production, Mr. Tong's company, except for the soundtrack, I came by myself, and the people in his company should be able to do other positions. Xiao Yao smiled, "As for the cooperative company in terms of publicity, I really don't have any alternatives." However, my requirements are quite special, and I am afraid that those companies that are used to working with you may not be able to accept them. ”
"What special requirements?" Ye Jiaying asked.
"Before and during the release of the film, I don't plan to run a roadshow!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The cooperative company in terms of publicity and distribution is to participate in the box office share." I don't run roadshows, in their opinion, it will definitely affect the box office. The more powerful the company, the greater the right to speak, so you probably won't agree with me doing this, right?"
"Why don't you run the roadshow?" Ye Jiaying said strangely, "It's hard, I didn't look very tired when we saw you during the movie roadshow last year." At that time, I felt like you were better than all of us. ”
"That's because I have better physical strength and energy than you, but that doesn't mean I like to spend my physical strength and energy on these things. Xiao Yao smiled, "Last year was your movie, and I cooperated unconditionally." This time it's my movie, and I don't want to run away if I can make my own decisions. ”
"To be honest, the roadshow can indeed play a certain role in increasing the proportion of films scheduled and increasing the box office. But in general, the biggest factor affecting the box office is the quality of the movie and the audience's reputation. Xiao Yao continued, "Also, there is a large investment in animated films, and it is difficult to make money or even return to the cost by relying on the box office alone, but there is also a source of income for peripheral derivatives." I am very confident in the quality and reputation of this animated film, and there is such a revenue channel as peripheral derivatives, and I really don't pay much attention to the part of the box office that is increased through roadshows. ”
"This, you're really..."Ye Jiaying didn't know what to say.
"It's okay, I'll talk to you when I need your help," Xiao Yao finally smiled, "You're my mother, I'm not embarrassed!"
"Well, your business, you decide. Ye Jiaying shook her head with a smile, "Don't talk about work, tell me about you and Duo'er." Where did she go to Europe this time?"
Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao's group walked the red carpet at a relatively high time. However, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao chatted, and this time passed much faster unconsciously.
At around 7:50 p.m., the lights on the stage were all darkened. At eight o'clock, the lights dimmed and the celebrity guests and the audience in the audience quieted down.
After the audience was quiet, the lights on the stage came on, and the audience was lit up with a faint light blue light, and the most striking thing was that the large screen on the background wall of the stage lit up.
This is an award ceremony for film awards. The large screen on the background wall on the stage is also arranged in a horizontal screen format similar to that of a movie in a theater. At the beginning of the awards ceremony, the host did not appear, and there was no narration at the scene, but posters of some excellent Chinese movies were played on the big screen.
After about 30 movie posters were played, the music began to sound. A group of dancers ran onto the stage, and the big screen was changed to play film clips from the films nominated for this year's "Golden Dragon Award".
The award ceremony began with a song and dance performance. After the dancers performed for a while, the singers of the show walked out of the dance group and stood in front of the stage and began to sing.
The guest performer at the opening ceremony of this award ceremony was a female singer in her thirties named Qian Mengyun. Xiao Yao has never worked with this female singer, and they don't know each other in private. However, although Xiao Yao didn't know the female singer, he heard from the opening music prelude that the song that the female singer was going to perform, which was the theme song of a certain movie nominated for the "Golden Dragon Award" Best Film and Best Music Award this year.
"Please host of tonight's "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony..."After a lively opening song and dance performance, the singers and dancers left the stage, and the three hosts walked onto the stage with the introduction of the narrator.
The three hosts took turns to introduce themselves, made a rather solemn and humorous opening remarks, and then announced the name of the first award that will be awarded tonight, and invited the first pair of award presenters tonight.
Many award ceremonies are accustomed to putting the New Humanity award at the top of the list. The "Golden Dragon Awards" have two new human awards: Best New Actor and Best Directorial Debut. Compared with these two awards, it is obvious that the awards for new directors are heavier, and the award for the best new actor is presented at the front. The first award presented tonight is Xiao Yao's award for the Best New Actor nomination.
Most of the award presenters are a combination of a man and a woman. The same goes for the two presenters who presented the Best Newcomer award this time. Among them, the male guest is named Chen Zhe, and the female guest is named Qin Zhiyin, both of whom are very famous movie actors. However, these two are not "old guys" in the film industry, but Mesozoic film actors in their thirties and forties.
Although from the intuitive impression, this arrangement is not as meaningful as the two old-timers Xiao Chengru and Tian Fangzhen who presented awards to newcomers in the "Feitian Awards" in the TV drama category that year, but these two Mesozoic actors have both been nominated or won awards for the "Golden Dragon Award" Best Newcomer Actor, and in a sense, there is also a sense of inheritance in it.
Neither of these two award presenters has cooperated with Xiao Yao, nor has they crossed paths with Xiao Yao, so from the selection of this award presenter, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao can't see whether Xiao Yao can win this year's Best Newcomer Actor Award.
After the two award presenters came on the stage, they chatted awkwardly, and Qin Zhiyin, who was holding the envelope, turned around and pointed to the big screen behind her and said: "The winner of the nomination for the Best Newcomer Actor in this "Golden Dragon Award" is, please look at the big screen!"
The lights on the stage dimmed, and the big screen on the background wall lit up. With the introduction of the sound next to the scene, the film clips of the nominees began to be played one by one on the big screen.
There are a total of five nominees for the Best New Actor Award this time, three actresses and two actors. Whenever a film clip of a nominated actor appears on the big screen, there is a round of applause.
The nominee's film clip was played, and the lights on the stage came back on. In a burst of more enthusiastic applause from the audience, Qin Zhiyin on the stage opened the envelope and pulled out the card with the winner's information written inside.
After the applause of the audience was a little smaller, Qin Zhiyin bent down slightly to the microphone and read: "The 53rd "Golden Dragon Awards" Best Newcomer Actor Award..."
When Qin Zhiyin was reading the winners, a line of subtitles of "Best Newcomer Actor Award" appeared at the top of the big screen at the scene, and five small windows appeared in the form of two above and three below, and in each small window, the expressions of the five nominees sitting in the audience at this time were cut.
Xiao Yao is the youngest actor in the history of the world's "Golden Dragon Award" when he was nominated for the best actor, but he was not the youngest actor when he was nominated for the Best New Actor Award. Even at this year's "Golden Dragon Award", Xiao Yao is not the youngest of the five nominees.
Among the five nominated actors, the oldest is 28 years old, and the youngest is only 18 years old. Xiao Yao is neither the youngest nor the oldest, but judging from the big screen at the scene, Xiao Yao is the most calm one. Even the twenty-eight-year-old actor Bai Yuteng, who has already acted in more than a dozen TV series, has a more nervous expression on his face at this time than Xiao Yao.
"The winner is~" Reading this, Qin Zhiyin held the card between her and Chen Zhe, and gave him another look.
Chen Zhe understood, glanced down at the card, and then raised his head to meet Qin Zhiyin's eyes, and the two of them smiled and announced loudly: "Xiao Yao!"
"Wow~" There was a round of warm applause at the scene.
Xiao Yao, who was sitting in the front row of the audience, first smiled and hugged Ye Jiaying beside him, and after getting up, he bent down and high-fived several crew colleagues farther away, accepted their congratulations, and then puffed up his chest and walked to the stage.
The award ceremony of the "Golden Dragon Award" is an award with a serious atmosphere in China, which can be seen from the fact that there are not many fanatical fans in the audience, and there are more applause during the award ceremony, and there are few cheers and screams.
At a serious awards ceremony, the two award presenters on the stage were not particularly familiar, so Xiao Yao didn't hug the two of them after he walked on the stage, but just bent down very politely and politely to shake hands with the two seniors.
After shaking hands, Qin Zhiyin picked up the trophy of the "Golden Dragon Award" from the tray held by the hostess behind her, and handed it to Xiao Yao with both hands. After Xiao Yao took the trophy with both hands, Qin Zhiyin stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation, took a step back with Chen Zhe, and gave the stage to Xiao Yao to say the acceptance speech.
Xiao Yao, who stood in front of the microphone with the trophy, did not rush to speak, first looked down at the trophy in his hand, as if he was taking advantage of this time to organize the language, and then leaned in front of the microphone and smiled: "Thank you!"
"It is a pleasure and an honor to receive this award. Xiao Yao continued, "Thank you to the judges, thank you to the organizers, thank you to everyone who walked into the cinema to watch the movie "127 Hours", and thank you to all the staff in front of and behind the scenes of the crew of "127 Hours"!"
"The group is thankful, and I would like to thank some individuals who are very special to me. Xiao Yao paused and continued, "Thank you to my parents, you will always be my strong backing and dependence, I love you." Thank you to my grandfather, because you took me to the crew when I was very young, I became interested in film and television, and acting. And what you taught me when I was a child is the foundation on which I am able to stand here today. ”
"I also want to give special thanks to Mr. Sun Zhihao!" Xiao Yao said in an accentuated tone, "Although my grandfather was the one who guided me to become interested in acting, he was not my enlightenment teacher in acting. My enlightenment teacher in acting is Mr. Sun Zhihao, so I would like to thank him very much. Definitely not because he's my girlfriend's dad, I'm here to take this opportunity to please him!"
"Haha~"
When he said the last sentence of this paragraph, Xiao Yao changed to a solemn and serious expression that was obviously a serious performance, and the audience also burst into laughter because of this.
"In addition to thanks, I want to praise someone!" The audience laughed, Xiao Yao couldn't hold back the serious expression on his face, and continued with a smile, "Our movie is based on the real experience of Mr. Zhan Youcheng. When preparing for this movie, the party Mr. Zhan Youcheng put forward a condition to director Ye Jiaying, that is, the actor of this movie, that is, his role, must be starred by me~"
Speaking of this, Xiao Yao raised the trophy in his hand, and then gave the thumbs up of his other hand and continued with a smile, "It turns out that Brother Cheng, you are really discerning!"
"Ha~"
"Phew~"
Listening to Xiao Yao's words, the audience burst into laughter again. In the midst of this laughter, there were some boos.
"Finally," after the laughter and boos, Xiao Yao became really serious and said seriously, "I am very honored to participate in the performance of the movie "127 Hours". Not because I won the award for this role in this movie, but because I was fortunate to be able to let Mr. Zhan Youcheng's deeds be known to more and more people..."
