Chapter 609: Two newcomers are unique
The movie "127 Hours" tells the story of Zhan Youcheng's experience during the Wuyou County earthquake the year before last. Although it is set against the background of an earthquake and involves some plots and shots of earthquake search and rescue, on the whole, this film is not a disaster movie, but a biopic about personal experience.
What is it like to be buried in the ground for more than five days? What is it like to be in a Jedi and face the threat of death in despair? From this movie, the audience has a deep feeling.
The basement that calls the sky should not be called the earth is a hurdle in Zhan Youcheng's life, not everyone will have this extremely unlucky experience, but on the road of life, everyone will encounter all kinds of setbacks, and there are all kinds of hurdles in life. How to face it, many people have gained varying degrees of insight from this movie and Zhan Youcheng's experience.
For example, a viewer said in a comment under Tudou's movie that after watching this movie, 99% of people can see hope from despair and find a reason to live from desperate situations.
This is a movie that can inspire people's hearts and bring people hope, courage and other positive energy, and it can be played well in this regard, but Xiao Yao is not a person who likes to preach and sensationalize. After saying the sentence "I am fortunate to be able to let Mr. Zhan Youcheng's deeds be known by more and more people", Xiao Yao ended his acceptance speech and left the stage with the trophy.
After the award of the best newcomer actor, two technical awards were awarded: best costume and best special effects. In these two aspects, "127 Hours" was not shortlisted for the nomination list, and it has nothing to do with the crew.
In many award ceremonies, cabaret performances are indispensable. Although the "Golden Dragon Award" is a film award, there are also many singing and dancing performances at the awards ceremony, and there is not only the one at the beginning. After the three awards were handed out, the host did not continue to announce the name of the next award and invite the presenters, but introduced the name of the next show and the performing singer.
This performance program still has little to do with the crew of "127 Hours", but it has something to do with Xiao Yao.
It's a pity that the "Golden Dragon Award" only has the Best Soundtrack Award, not the Best Theme Song Award, otherwise, you should have at least one more nomination. Looking at the performers on the stage, Ye Jiaying whispered to Xiao Yao.
The reason why Ye Jiaying said this is because the singer who is performing on the stage at the moment is A Zi, and the song that A Zi is singing now is the song "Say Scatter" that Xiao Yao helped her write.
When it comes to the theme songs of all the movies released last year, the one with the highest quality is not necessarily, but the most popular and well-known is definitely the song "Say Scatter" written by Xiao Yao for A Zi. During the release of the movie at the end of last year, the song became popular almost all over the Internet, and even viewers who have not seen the movie rarely know about this song.
The fact that this song is so popular is actually the result of the interaction between the song itself and the movie.
First of all, the film put a lot of effort into publicity before it was released. The trailer with this song as the background music has been shown many times on major video websites in China, as well as on the big screens of some TV stations and landmark squares in some cities.
Secondly, after the release of the movie, some popular video clips related to the audience of the movie appeared on several well-known video websites and video mobile phone applications in China.
These videos show an ordinary person sitting in a theater seat or crying on the main road. The title and introduction of the video say that the reason why the protagonist in the picture is so out of shape is because the movie "Old Love, New Love" reminds those viewers of their past love experiences and ex, so they are so out of shape after watching the movie.
Whether this is a publicity strategy planned by the promoter of the movie behind the scenes, or some viewers really have these behaviors after watching this movie, these video clips have successfully attracted the attention of netizens anyway. These short videos became popular, and the movies followed suit, and they achieved a bumper harvest at the box office.
In these popular video clips, the picture is the image of ordinary viewers crying bitterly, and the background music is a passage from the song "See You or Leave". So in addition to the hot movie box office, this song has also become even more popular with the help of these video shorts.
The quality of this song is not bad, and it is so popular on the Internet. If the "Golden Dragon Award" has an award for the best theme song, it should not be a problem to get at least one nomination.
"Even if there is an award for the best theme song, the one who is nominated and accepted on stage is also a singer, and it can't fall on my head, right?" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile.
"Yes," Ye Jiaying nodded lightly, and continued, "Speaking of which, you wrote such a good movie theme song for others, but you didn't write a song for our own movie." This is your first time acting in a movie, and it's also the first time you've played the leading role, and I didn't force you, but in my next movie, you can't stand by anymore, I'll leave it all to you for the theme song interlude or something, it's best for you to sing it yourself. The "Golden Dragon Award" does not have an award for Best Theme Song, but there are many other awards for Best Movie Song or Best Theme Song. β
Before the filming of this movie started, Ye Jiaying once proposed to let Xiao Yao participate in the creation of the script, but Xiao Yao did not agree. Xiao Yao also directly told Ye Jiaying the reason at that time, that is, this is the first movie directed by Ye Jiaying, and Xiao Yao has been a director and made short films, and he doesn't want the movie to be seen as a joint work of the two of them after it is made, so not only the script writing in the early stage, but also the editing, soundtrack, theme song, interlude, and ending song of the later parts are not involved.
Although Ye Jiaying felt that Xiao Yao's idea was very awkward, she did not force Xiao Yao. Now that Ye Jiaying has been nominated for Best Directorial Debut, whether she wins the award or not, it is equivalent to gaining professional recognition in her new identity as a director.
"No problem," Xiao Yao immediately agreed, "Whether it's acting or writing songs, as long as time permits, I'm sure I'll have nothing to say." β
"It probably doesn't take you too much time and energy to write songs, but if you act?" Ye Jiaying smiled, "You have become a director yourself, will you still have time to act in my movies in the future?"
"No," Xiao Yao said, "Learning to be a director is just an interest, I don't plan to be a director and not an actor in the future, and I don't plan to direct and act in every movie in the future, or I will act in other directors' plays, as long as the director's ability is strong enough and the script is good enough." Of course, I recognize your directing ability, so as long as you find a good script, I will definitely be willing to act. β
"Okay, that's what you said. Ye Jiaying smiled and continued, "But you don't have to worry about me filming with you recently." Even if I transformed, I wasn't a prolific director, and after the filming, I found that I still had a lot to learn. The next movie will not start until a few years later. β
The two chatted here, and Ah Zi on the stage also just ended the performance and bowed for a curtain call. The two ended the topic and gave Ah Zi a round of applause.
After Ah Zi's performance, the next award was an award for a genre film, the Best Drama Film Award. This type of film is unique to China, and this award is also unique to the "Golden Dragon Award". Of course, this award has little to do with Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying.
After the best drama film, two more technical awards were awarded, and then the Best Directorial Debut Award related to Ye Jiaying. When they heard the host announce the next award, Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying unconsciously sat up straight.
The presenters of this award are also a man and a woman, the male is called Xing Wenbin, and the female is called Yue Hong, both of whom are senior directors in the Chinese film industry. After the two award presenters came on the stage, they also chatted briefly, and then guided the audience to look at the list of nominees played on the big screen.
There are a total of six works nominated for Best Directorial Debut Film, which means that there are six directors competing for this award, which means Best New Director, which is more fierce than Xiao Yao's Best New Actor.
Although Ye Jiaying has won the queen of the film and the queen of the movie, has experienced many award ceremonies and seen many big scenes, after all, it is the first time to participate in the competition for awards as a director. For the first time in life, the meaning is always a little different, and some tension is inevitable.
When the movie clip of the nominee began to be played on the big screen at the scene, Xiao Yao obviously felt Ye Jiaying's nervousness beside him, so he quietly stretched out his left hand and held her right hand on his knee.
Ye Jiaying felt that her right hand was suddenly being held, she first glanced down, and then turned her head to look at Xiao Yao at her side. Xiao Yao also smiled at Ye Jiaying at this time. It seemed that she got strength from Xiao Yao's movements and eyes, and when Ye Jiaying turned her head, her whole body relaxed a lot, and her smile became a lot more natural.
After the list of nominees on the big screen was played, Yue Hong, who was holding the envelope, opened the envelope, pulled out the card inside, and lowered his head slightly into the microphone and read: "The winner of the 53rd "Golden Dragon Award" Best Director Debut Award is..."
Xiao Yao obviously felt that Ye Jiaying's hand holding him had increased some strength, and he also added some force to shake it back.
At this time, the six nominated directors were also cut out on the big screen at the scene. However, since one of them did not come to the scene tonight, it was replaced with a photo of him. Judging from the expressions of the five nominees sitting in the audience, Ye Jiaying's expressions still seemed relatively natural, and she couldn't see that her and Xiao Yao's hands were "competing" in places that the camera couldn't shoot.
"127 Hours, Ye Jiaying!" Yue Hong did not put the card between the two like the previous award presenters, but directly announced loudly.
"Congratulations to Ye Jiaying!" Xing Wenbin said with a smile.
βYES!β Xiao Yao pulled Ye Jiaying to jump up, and cheered happily.
The celebrity guests with nominations are seated in the front row of the audience, not far from the stage. Yue Hong, who was on the stage, looked at Xiao Yao, who was excited in the audience, and couldn't help but laugh and joke: "Ye Jiaying won the award, I think Xiao Yao seems to be happier than he won the award himself!"
"It's not like," Xing Wenbin said with a smile, "Xiao Yao has already won the award just now! He is indeed more excited now than when he won the award just now!"
However, when Jia Ying won the award just now, she was also happier than when she won the award now. It's normal for people to be a family!" Yue Hong continued with a smile, "A mother and son won awards together at the same "Golden Dragon Award", this is a rare sight, very rare!"
"What's even more rare is that these two won the best newcomer, one is the best newcomer director, and the other is the best newcomer actor," Xing Wenbin said with a smile, "Don't talk about Huaxia, I'm afraid this is the only one in the world film industry." β
When the two award presenters on the stage went from ridicule to emotion, Ye Jiaying in the audience also completed the hug and interaction with Xiao Yao and the rest of the crew next to her, and walked onto the stage.
When the two award presenters saw that Ye Jiaying had come to the stage, they also stopped sighing and stepped forward to hug and shake hands with Ye Jiaying. After Ye Jiaying and Yue Hong embraced, Xing Wenbin picked up the trophy from the tray held by the hostess behind him and handed it to Ye Jiaying, and then took a step back with Yue Hong.
Ye Jiaying, who was holding the golden dragon on the trophy with one hand and standing in front of the microphone with the base of the trophy with the other hand to deliver an acceptance speech, still looked a little excited, her voice trembled a little when she spoke, and her eyes were a little red. However, after experiencing many big scenes, Ye Jiaying is not so excited that she is incoherent, and when she says her acceptance speech, she is still very clear in her organization and words.
Ye Jiaying's acceptance speech did not have too much special features, the most was thanks, thanks to the judges, the organizers, the crew, the fans, the audience, and the family, and finally expressed some thoughts and experiences about transforming into a director, and said that he would continue to learn on the road of directing and would always persevere.
In the applause of the audience, Ye Jiaying, who finished her acceptance speech, left the stage, and the host began to introduce the next awards and award presenters.
The film "127 Hours" received a total of five nominations at this year's "Golden Dragon Awards", in addition to Xiao Yao's Best New Actor, Best Actor and Ye Jiaying's Best Directorial Debut, the other two nominations were Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing. However, judging from the analysis and prediction articles published by some media and experts before, among the five nominations, only the two newcomer award nominations of Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying have a chance to win the award, and the other three nominations are basically a fate of accompanying the runner.
The accuracy of these analytical prediction articles has also been proven.
Later, one award after another was awarded, and the crew of "127 Hours" no longer received any awards. The film's screenwriter didn't win Best Adapted Screenplay, and the editor missed out on Best Editing. Xiao Yao, who is in his early twenties, can be nominated for the best actor, which is already a miracle in the eyes of some people, and winning the award is a miracle among miracles. This miracle in a miracle did not happen, and this year's "Golden Dragon Award" actor was finally won by a middle-aged actor in his forties.
Judging from the performance of the actor who won the actor in the movie, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao were convinced that he won the actor, so when the results were announced, the two who had been mentally prepared did not show too much disappointment, and they both stood up and applauded the actor from the bottom of their hearts.
The actor and actress belong to the four most watched awards, and they are generally arranged to be awarded at a later time. In these two awards, the film is generally awarded first, and then the actor, and after the actor, the best director and the best film are awarded.
"127 Hours" was not nominated for Best Director or Best Picture, and the last two awards had nothing to do with them, so they spent the last period of the awards ceremony in a completely relaxed mood.
