Behind the stage is the backstage, but this backstage is not a pure waiting area, but also a photography area. After receiving their awards, all the winners of this award ceremony will take some photos of holding trophies for official reporting of the Golden Dragon Award ceremony. This photo session is just after receiving the award. After receiving their prizes on stage, the winners will be photographed in the backstage photo area.

After Xiao Yao and the two award presenters left the stage from the passage at the back of the stage, the two awarding guests who completed the task went back to the venue from the passage next to them, returned to their seats and continued to watch the award ceremony behind, while Xiao Yao and the other four winners went to the backstage photography area to take pictures under the guidance of the staff.

The winners of this award are four people, and the staff first took a group photo of the four people. After the photos of the four people were taken, the staff suggested that Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei take another photo separately.

Kevin Scott knew that Xiao Yao and the three of them were a team, and he was not dissatisfied with the staff's proposal, so he took the initiative to withdraw from the photo area and let Xiao Yao and the three of them take another picture.

By the time the two photos were taken and Xiao Yao and the others returned to their seats in the audience, another award had already been awarded on the stage. However, that award was not nominated by their crew, and they missed it.

After Xiao Yao and the others sat in their seats and watched the presentation of the two more awards, it was time for their crew to be nominated for the awards.

Among the awards nominated by their crew, the second appearance was the Best Editing Award. The nominees for this award are Mu Ying and editor Russell Seth.

Mu Ying is a native of China, and Russell Seth is an American, both of them are participating in the Huaxia awards ceremony for the first time and being nominated for the Huaxia Film Award for the first time, so the reaction is relatively large. Mu Ying was nervous, and Russell was a little excited, but unfortunately, it was not them who won the award in the end.

The action scenes in their parkour movie are indeed very good-looking, the editing is sharp, and it is easy to get excited, but this feeling is more obvious during the action scenes. In terms of literary drama, there is nothing outstanding in the editing of this movie, and in terms of the overall narrative, this movie does not have any outstanding features, so it is a pity that Mu Ying and Russell did not win this award, but it is not too surprising.

After the Best Editing Award was awarded, a staff member quietly came to Xiao Yao's side and informed them that they were ready to perform. The five of them got up quietly, walked quickly away from the scene under the leadership of the staff, and went to the dressing room to change clothes and prepare.

"This is Young's last gig with us, so let's do a good job later!" Dean said to everyone in the locker room after changing into his costumes.

"Do you want to say it so tragically?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I can still perform with you in the future!"

"But you've decided to quit the band, it's just that we haven't officially made it public yet. Dean said, "So, this is the last time you'll perform publicly with us as a member of the band, and when you perform in the future, you'll be working with us, so I'm not wrong!"

Xiao Yao told the people in the band the night before yesterday that he was going to officially quit the band. During rehearsals yesterday, Dean and others also asked Xiao Yao when he would officially quit and whether he would like to make a public statement or something. Xiao Yao didn't want to make too much noise, saying that he could just remove his name from the description on the band's official website and social media accounts.

The band is now owned by Keith Craig's Daydream studio, and Keith and others need to be informed at least about changes to the band's official website and social media accounts. Dean and the others wanted to go back to the United States and explain to Keith in person before doing it, but Xiao Yao certainly had no opinion on this.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Yao has not officially quit the band yet. However, Xiao Yao himself did not sign a contract with the "Daydream" studio, and Keith had no reason to disagree.

The band has no other work itinerary in China, and will return to the United States after attending this award ceremony. After Dean and others returned to the United States, the band's official website and social media account information changed, and Xiao Yao quit. It is estimated that this time will not be too long. So, if nothing else, this will indeed be the last time Xiao Yao will perform with them as a member of the band.

"Okay, you're right!" Xiao Yao nodded, "This is indeed the 'last time', then let's treat him as my farewell performance, let's perform well!"

"You~" Dean looked at Xiao Yao.

Although Dean agreed to Xiao Yao's withdrawal, he was still a little unwilling in his heart. At this time, I wanted to stimulate Xiao Yao with the "last time", but I didn't expect Xiao Yao to accept it at all, and actually took it according to his own wishes, feeling a little uncomfortable.

However, although Dean's words to Xiao Yao did not stimulate Xiao Yao and make Xiao Yao change his mind, the "last time" and "farewell performance" that Xiao Yao said successfully stimulated all the members of the band, including himself.

The band's performance track was the nominated theme song for the film "ItsMyLife". It's not the first time the five have performed the song live in public. They all performed the song together at last year's premiere of the film and at events to promote the film, such as the All-Star Celebrity Contest in the United States, but at this year's Golden Dragon Awards, the five members of the band performed exceptionally hard.

Although it is an English song, the popularity of the song is already very high. Although the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony is a more serious occasion, this rock song is really a very burning, very able to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene, the five people with their extraordinarily hard performance, or successfully ignited the atmosphere of the scene, so that many live audiences and even celebrity guests stood up from their seats, waved their hands and roared with them.

After the band's performance, the award ceremony continued.

The film "Parkour Boys" received a total of three nominations. At present, they have won the "Best Action Design", and after the regrettable failure in the "Best Editing", the last remaining suspense is the "Best Original Soundtrack" award.

The band members changed into their dresses and returned to their seats for a short time, and soon it was time for the award for "Best Acoustic Song".

Best Soundtrack is a relatively new award in the history of the "Golden Dragon Awards". In the past Golden Dragon Awards, there was only the best film score, and there was no award for the theme song of the movie as the original soundtrack. When Xiao Yao won the Best New Actor with "127 Hours" the year before last, there was no such award at the Golden Dragon Awards.

Although the Golden Dragon Award is a relatively conservative award, it is not rigid, and the types and numbers of awards are not static. Since last year, the Golden Dragon Awards have complied with the requirements of the market and the audience, adding such an award that is not uncommon at other film festivals or film awards.

The Best Soundtrack must be a song written specifically for a movie, and even if it is not required that the song must be released after the film is released, it must at least indicate the nature of the movie's theme song or interlude at the time of release, so that the song was written for the film in order to be eligible for nomination.

During last year's Golden Dragon Awards, two songs that were originally nominated were disqualified because they were found by the organizers to be not the original soundtrack of the movie, but songs that were released a long time ago.

Xiao Yao, who was nominated for the Golden Dragon Awards last year, was an animated feature film. The theme song of an animated film can also be nominated for Best Soundtrack, but there is no soundtrack in that animated film. The theme song used in Xiao Yao's animated movie is a very popular English old song, and you don't need to check it to know that it was not made specifically for movies, so he didn't even get a nomination.

This year is the second time in the history of the Golden Dragon Awards that there is an award for "Best Original Soundtrack", and it is also the first time that Xiao Yao has been nominated.

Although it was not Xiao Yao and others who followed the "Best Original Song" after the performance, and there were two awards in between, Xiao Yao and others had to change back into their dresses before they could return to the scene after the performance. If Xiao Yao followed the award after the performance, the band didn't have time to change their clothes and go on stage to accept the award, and there were two awards in between, just so that they had time to change back into their dresses. What's more, between their performances and this award, there are no other songs performed.

In terms of the popularity and popularity of the song, not to mention it in the world, even in terms of the scope of China alone, Xiao Yao's "ItsMyLife" is also the highest among all the nominated songs, but because this song is an English song, the probability of this song winning the award is not high in the previous predictions of various media and institutions.

Xiao Yao and others didn't have much expectations for this award, and they felt that it was already a surprise to be nominated. However, with the success of winning the "Best Action Design", Xiao Yao and others brought an old beauty to the stage to accept the award, coupled with such a process arrangement by the organizer, Xiao Yao and others unconsciously had more expectations.

The guest of honor for this award is also a combination of a man and a woman. One of the male award presenters was a composer and a well-known soundtrack artist in the film industry named Cao Zhongyun. Another female award presenter is Liang Xueying, a young female singer who has sung the theme songs of many well-known movies.

Liang Xueying has cooperated with Xiao Yao a lot of times, and the good relationship between the two is also widely known. However, what few people know is that Cao Zhongyun and Xiao Yao also have a lot to do with each other.

Cao Zhongyun met Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao's father and son when he participated in the variety show "Everyday Upward" on Shonan Satellite TV. After that, he bought the rights to "Hometown Original Scenery" and "Insects Fly" from Xiao Siqi as the soundtrack and interlude of the movie. Through those two contacts, Cao Zhongyun and Xiao Siqi became very good friends, and later helped Xiao Siqi accompany him in "Singer".

Although Xiao Siqi didn't tell Cao Zhongyun that the author of the ocarina song and nursery rhyme was his son at first, but made up a mysterious friend of XY, but when Cao Zhongyun first met them, he saw Xiao Yao playing the ocarina and playing the ukulele in the show, and later watched Xiao Yao sing "Worm Fly" in "Where Are You Going, Dad", and he was also very interested in Xiao Siqi's demonic son. Cao Zhongyun and Xiao Siqi are friends, and they have been to Xiao's house many times, and their relationship with Xiao Yao is naturally very good.

Cao Zhongyun is mainly behind the scenes, Xiao Siqi is a singer, and the public cooperation between the two on the stage is only "Singer", and there are not many people who know that Cao Zhongyun and Xiao Siqi have a good relationship, and even fewer know that Cao Zhongyun and Xiao Yao have a relationship. However, as a little friend who grew up together, Zhao Rui is clear about the relationship between Cao Zhongyun and Xiao Yao.

Seeing that the award presenters were Cao Zhongyun and Liang Xueying, Zhao Rui whispered to other people around him, and the crew had a little more confidence in Xiao Yao and them winning this award.

After the two award presenters came to the stage, they first greeted each other as usual, and then chatted briefly.

One of the two award presenters is a composer and film score, the other is a singer, and their professions are all related to music, and they naturally talk about the role of the theme song of a movie on a movie. What the two said did not have much new meaning for most film practitioners, and it did not have much attraction to the star guests and audiences at the scene, but Liang Xueying glanced in the direction of Xiao Yao intentionally or unintentionally in the process of chatting with another award presenter, which was even more attention-grabbing.

However, Liang Xueying and Cao Zhongyun did not mention Xiao Yao's name, nor did they mention the language of the song, so it is difficult to judge whether this award will end up on the band composed of Xiao Yao and four foreign teenagers.

After a brief chat, Liang Xueying read out the name of the award according to the cover of the envelope, and then guided everyone to look at the clip of the nominee list playing on the big screen behind the stage.

Because Xiao Yao's band's performance just now was very good, when the movie clip of Xiao Yao's song was played, the applause at the scene was also the largest.

After the nomination clip was played, Cao Zhongyun opened the envelope, read the beginning of the award, then stopped at the name of the winner and handed the envelope to Liang Xueying.

Liang Xueying took the envelope and glanced at it, and subconsciously glanced at the direction where Xiao Yao was sitting, before she lowered her head and read the information of the award-winning song.

After the nomination clip was played, the big screen on the scene cut to a close-up of the two award presenters on the stage. Although Xiao Yao was sitting at a certain distance from the stage, he could clearly see the expressions of the two award presenters from the big screen at the scene.

When Xiao Yao saw Liang Xueying's expression on the big screen at the scene looking in his direction, he knew that this award should still be missing him.

Sure enough, the award-winning song read by Liang Xueying was not Xiao Yao's "ItsMyLife".

In the end, it was a Chinese song from the nomination list that won this award.

Of the five songs nominated for this award, except for Xiao Yao's "ItsMyLife", the other four songs are all Chinese songs. Among the other four nominated Chinese songs, the winning song was not the most nominated for their film, but the highest grossing film and the most popular song itself. In addition, it is also the most likely to win the award in the previous media predictions.

When the media analyzed and predicted the final attribution of each award, when mentioning this award, it was analyzed that whether it is the artistry of the song itself, its popularity, or its role in the theme of the movie, Xiao Yao's song is the most deserving award in the list of nominees, and the only problem is the language of the song. It does not mean that English songs must not win awards in Chinese awards, but compared with Chinese songs, this is a disadvantage that cannot be ignored. In addition, the identity of the singer is also a big problem.

The "Best Action Design" award may be large, because the nominees for this award are three Chinese and one American, and Chinese people make up the vast majority. And the core of this nominee is obviously Xiao Yao, their parkour team composed entirely of Chinese people. And the singer of "Best Acoustic Song" is a band. Although Xiao Yao is a member of the band, there are four Americans and one Chinese in the band, not to mention that even if Xiao Yao is the core of the band, this band is signed by an American studio, mainly developed in the United States, and it is still an American band at all.

Judging from this result, it seems to confirm the previous media's prediction and analysis. The Golden Dragon Award is still a relatively conservative award, and it will not be easily awarded to foreigners or nominees who include foreigners.

From this point of view, Xiao Yao should not be surprised that they did not win the "Best Original Soundtrack", but they should be glad that they won the "Best Action Design". After all, the other nominees are all Chinese!

After "Best Original Soundtrack", the next awards are basically the highlight.

Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress, Best Actor and Heroine, Best Director, Best Film, each of them is a very heavy award, but these awards have nothing to do with Xiao Yao. Not only has nothing to do with the crew, but it also has nothing to do with them.

Xiao Yao's elders are not young, although they don't want to fade out of the film and television industry, but the number and speed of their works have decreased a lot. This year, not only Xiao Yao and their films were not nominated for the Golden Dragon Awards, but Ye Jiaying, Zhao Tao and their elders did not have any film works released last year, and they did not receive any nominations this year, and they did not come to attend the awards ceremony.

Some of the later awards are purely for them.
