Chapter 875: The award ceremony that can't be missed

Whether it is before or after the screening, there is no publicity plan for the roadshow for this movie, so after the premiere of the movie, Xiao Yao's publicity work for this movie is basically over.

During the release of the movie, theaters and distributors naturally have various ways and means to promote the box office, but as the producer and producer, there is no other work arrangement except for the stars of the main creative team who post some relevant messages on their respective social media accounts and occasionally shout.

Since this is the first movie Sun Tingting starred in, and it is also the first cooperation between Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting in a movie, Xiao Yao is also particularly concerned about the box office and word-of-mouth after the release of the movie "Donkey Gets Water".

In the Internet era, even if it is not a producer or producer related to a movie, it is easy to understand the box office and word-of-mouth situation of a movie after its release.

In terms of box office, there will be various ticket-buying platforms, official accounts related to the movie or movie box office, and movie-related Weibo bloggers to announce the box office of the movies being released every day. In terms of word-of-mouth ratings, there are also several movie rating websites. The movie rating will be opened after the movie is released, and various long and short comment messages from ordinary viewers will soon appear.

Therefore, Xiao Yao cares about the box office and word-of-mouth of this movie, as long as he goes online more frequently to learn about this information.

The box office announcement is the box office of the previous day, and you only need to watch it once a day. In terms of rating websites, it shows the average score of all the audience participating in the scoring, and the daily changes are relatively small, no matter how much you care, you don't have to stare at it all the time. It is very simple to learn about the situation of the movie on the Internet, and it will not affect Xiao Yao to do other things.

After the release of the movie "Donkey Gets Water", Xiao Yao's next more important thing was the project of the TV series with Yin Xi. This project has been launched before the Lunar New Year, and the crew is currently in preparation.

This TV drama project is led by the Young Man Film and Television Company, co-invested by Yin Xi Studio, and the Young Man Film and Television Company is the producer and the main producer. This project was proposed by Xiao Yao, who was naturally the producer of this TV series and served as the producer. However, in this project, Xiao Yao did not serve as a director, so Xiao Yao handed over a lot of preparatory work to others.

For example, in the formation of the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew, Xiao Yao did not interfere at all. Even if it is said that TV series is the art of screenwriting, when filming, the entire crew is still the director, and you have to listen to the director. So in this area, Xiao Yao completely left it to the executive producer and director selected by the film and television company to discuss and decide.

However, if he is not a director, Xiao Yao does not have to do anything during the preparation period. The entire script idea of this TV series was provided by Xiao Yao, and the script outline and general script framework were also written by Xiao Yao, but in the later stage, two newcomer screenwriters were found from the group of newcomer screenwriters of the Shenju Literature Department who wrote the TV series of the new Shenju team to help Xiao Yao improve the various details in the script. Even with the signatures of the two rookie screenwriters, Xiao Yao is also the well-deserved first screenwriter of this TV series.

As a screenwriter, he has a certain say in the choice of actors, not to mention that Xiao Yao is also the producer and producer of this TV series. Xiao Yao has already been a director, selected actors, and experienced auditions. Therefore, the construction of the behind-the-scenes personnel of the crew is not a matter of it, but in the part of the actor audition, the director of this play strongly asked Xiao Yao to participate together.

The director of this TV series is one of the directors of the previous TV series with a new team of Shen Opera, and he is still a rookie director. The script was written by Xiao Yao, who knows every role in the play very well, is a director and actor, and is also very familiar with acting, and is indeed the most suitable candidate for an audition interviewer.

Xiao Yao opened this project for Yin Xi, naturally hoping that this TV series can be filmed as well as possible, and no matter what the scene, no one wants to meet that kind of particularly uncomfortable actor, so Xiao Yao agreed to the director of the show and will participate in the casting audition of the actors.

Due to the movie "Donkey Gets Water", the casting audition for this TV series was scheduled after the movie was released. However, Xiao Yao did not devote himself to the casting audition of the TV series immediately after the movie was released, and before that, Xiao Yao still had an event to attend. He will also attend this year's "Golden Dragon Award" ceremony.

The "Golden Dragon Award" is the most authoritative and important film award in the world. The time of the "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony is not necessarily the same every year, but it is arranged in February or March at the beginning of the lunar year. This year's "Golden Dragon Award" ceremony was scheduled for early March, less than a week after the release of the movie "Donkey Gets Water".

Xiao Yao has never been a blanket star. Generally, Xiao Yao will not go to any award ceremony without being nominated, even if he is nominated, Xiao Yao will not necessarily go. However, if it is a more important award, in the case of being nominated, Xiao Yao will generally try his best to go.

The "Golden Dragon Award" is a relatively important award in Xiao Yao's heart. At last year's "Golden Dragon Award", Xiao Yao and Tong Luo's animated film "Wall-E" was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film and finally won this award. Xiao Yao originally wanted to go, but because he had to accept the appointment of a goodwill ambassador from the United Nations Environment Programme and participate in the World Youth Forum, Xiao Yao was finally absent.

In this year's "Golden Dragon Award", Xiao Yao was nominated again, and if time permits, Xiao Yao is not ready to be absent this time.

This time, Xiao Yao was nominated for the "Golden Dragon Award" from the parkour movie "Parkour Boy" filmed with Zhao Rui and others.

The "Golden Dragon Award" is held once a year to award and commend films that have been publicly released in China in the past year. Although the "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony is held at the beginning of the lunar calendar every year, in February and March of the Gregorian calendar, the scope of the "Golden Dragon Award" is not calculated according to the lunar year or the time between the two "Golden Dragon Awards", but from the first day of January to December 31st of the Gregorian calendar of the previous year.

The parkour movie made by Xiao Yao and others was released during the Spring Festival last year. Although the release time of the film was before the last "Golden Dragon Awards" ceremony, it did not participate in the last Golden Dragon Awards, but within the scope of this year's awards. This award does not need to be actively applied for selection like film festivals, as long as it has been screened in theaters in China, it will automatically be considered according to the time of the screening.

According to the usual practice, the shortlist or nominee list of each award will be announced some time in advance before the award ceremony, and the "Golden Dragon Award" is no exception. In February, the "Golden Dragon Award" announced the list of nominees for each award on its official website. After this list came out, it also caused some small controversy on the Internet.

After the announcement of the nominees for each award, there will be some discussions, and some controversy is inevitable. However, this time, the list of nominees for the "Golden Dragon Award" made netizens talk about the most, which was a little surprising. Because what everyone is talking about is not whether the nominated film is good enough in terms of winning the nominated award, but whether the whole movie is eligible for the "Golden Dragon Award".

The movie that everyone is talking about is the "Parkour Boy" shot by Xiao Yao and others.

The "Golden Dragon Award" is a film award in China, and the object of the award is Huaxia films. And the "Parkour Boy" filmed by Xiao Yao and others is not a Chinese movie in everyone's eyes, or at least not a pure Chinese movie.

Xiao Yao: Part of the funding for their parkour movie came from crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is done on foreign websites, so crowdfunding basically comes from abroad. The movie was made in the United States, and many of the staff in front of and behind the scenes were foreigners. Whether it is in terms of funding sources or the composition of the production team, this film is not a pure Chinese film, it should be regarded as a joint venture or co-production.

Are joint venture films eligible to participate in the selection of the "Golden Dragon Award"? Of course there is!

The object of the "Golden Dragon" Award is indeed Huaxia films, but joint venture films and co-productions are also within the scope of the awards. The object of the "Golden Dragon" award does not have to be the investment of Huaxia Capital and the production team of Huaxia staff, as long as there is Huaxia's capital investment, Huaxia's film and television companies participate in the production, or the production team of Huaxia staff occupies a certain proportion of the qualification.

The production cost of "Parkour Boy" was 8 million US dollars, Xiao Yao and others personally contributed 6 million, and the crowdfunding part only accounted for a quarter. Xiao Yao and others are from Huaxia, and the bulk of this capital is naturally from Huaxia.

In terms of the production team, the behind-the-scenes staff are indeed mainly foreigners, but that is because the filming location is in a foreign country. In recent years, it is not uncommon for Chinese films to go abroad to shoot, and they will basically find local staff abroad.

More importantly, in terms of the main creator, among the two directors, Xiao Yao needless to say, although Mu Ying has been developing in the United States for a long time, he is still a Chinese and a Chinese. The screenwriter is Xiao Yao and several of their parkour veterans, all of whom are Chinese. In terms of actors, the protagonists and supporting roles are all Chinese. The seven-member team of the protagonist has three Chinese, one Chinese-American, and only three pure foreigners. Even if it is a small half, this proportion is not low.

In this way, on the whole, this film is definitely dominated by Huaxia funds and Huaxia staff, and fully meets the award conditions of the "Golden Dragon" Award.

As some netizens carried out voluntary science popularization of the relevant rules of the "Golden Dragon Award" on the Internet, these controversies were quickly quelled. Because netizens mainly questioned the composition of the movie, and everyone basically had no objection to the award nomination for this movie.

The rating of this movie on the Huaxia movie rating website is also good, but among all the film and television works starring Xiao Yao, the rating of this movie is not very high. But the awards nominated for this film are not heavyweight awards such as Best Actor and Actress, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Picture, etc., but more technical awards.

The film received three nominations, namely "Best Action Design", "Best Editing", and "Best Soundtrack".

This is a parkour movie, in which the parkour action is the biggest feature of the movie, and many people really understand and like this emerging extreme sport from this movie. With this kind of sports bonus, everyone felt that it was a matter of course that the film was nominated for "Best Action Design".

It's a burning action movie. Although there are not many fighting scenes in it, the running scenes that are mixed with parkour action can definitely make people's blood boil. To make the audience feel this way when watching the movie, the excellent editing and background music definitely contribute to it. With no problem with the qualifications, it is already surprising that the film did not receive nominations for "Best Music" and "Best Sound", and it would be surprising if it did not even have a nomination for "Best Editing".

The film did not get a nomination for "Best Music", and many people analyzed that it was because the jury nominated for "Best Movie Soundtrack" to this film.

Xiao Yao participated in the production of the soundtrack of this movie, and Xiao Yao's name is also in the soundtrack of the movie, but it is behind the name of an American soundtrack. The American soundtrack artist only has a certain reputation in the United States, and is not particularly famous in China and even internationally, so when the jury gave the nomination for this award, it was more about Xiao Yao's factors.

Although Xiao Yao is now thriving in the music world, and his influence is not inferior to that of the long-famous king and queen, there is still a certain distance from the titles of music master and soundtrack master. Xiao Yao himself is a singer-songwriter, and he also mixes the pop music industry, and the nomination of "Best Original Soundtrack" to him, and the nomination of "Best Music" to others, to a certain extent, is also a balance.

This movie has two original songs, both of which are Xiao Yao's works, and they have also won very good results on various foreign music charts. However, if you compare it carefully, whether it is the results or word-of-mouth evaluation, the song "It's MyLife" is better, so the song "It's MyLife" was also nominated.

However, although the song has a good result, high evaluation, and great influence, the industry is generally not optimistic that this song will win awards. For no other reason, this is a Chinese award, and this song is an English song, and the singer is also Xiao Yao and a young foreign band. Basically, getting a nomination is already the limit, and winning a prize is basically unlikely.

Compared with the slim hope of winning the "Best Original Soundtrack", the two nominations of "Best Editing" and "Best Action Design" are not small.

Xiao Yao didn't have anything to do with the editing, although Xiao Yao was also involved in the later stage, but it was mainly done by another director, Mu Ying, and the editor of the movie, and the final signature was only the two of them. In terms of action design, it is mainly Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, and Xu Fei. In the signature of the action design, the names of Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei are relatively high, and the action directors invited by the crew are behind.

If this film can win the "Best Action Design" award, then the three young people Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei will be able to stand on the stage at the same time to receive the award. For their parkour team, that kind of scene is of extraordinary significance, and Xiao Yao must not miss it. So don't say that there is nothing to do during this time, even if there is an opportunity to go to the United Nations like last year, Xiao Yao will not hesitate to turn down the opportunity to go to the United Nations and go to the "Golden Dragon" award ceremony with Zhao Rui and Xu Fei.

If "Wall-E" misses the award, it will be missed, and the animated film can be made again in the future, and there is still a chance to win the award. But from forming a team, starting a campaign, to working together to create a movie, and finally the whole team can collectively go on stage to accept the award, such a situation is basically impossible again.
