Chapter 430: The First Red Carpet Show
"My mother is going to transform into a director?" Xiao Yao said strangely, "When did it happen? Why don't I know?"
"It shouldn't have been long since your mother had this idea. Xiao Chengru said, "When they came to see me some time ago, I heard her mention it, and said that I should help him pay attention to see if there are any good books, and you haven't had winter vacation at that time." You go to college in Shencheng and rarely go home. It's rare to come back, and your mother doesn't even have time to care about you, probably because she hasn't bothered to talk to you about herself. ”
"Before I come back, then she can also call me and tell me," Xiao Yao said, "It's been more than half a month, she can't be that she didn't want to tell me at all, right?" Is it that after "Singer", many people said that her father relied on me to win the championship, and she was afraid that others would say that her transformation into a director also relied on her son, so she deliberately didn't tell me, right?"
"That's not it, it's all a family, your father is not afraid of what others say, how can your mother care about that?" Xiao Chengru shook his head with a smile, "If she really doesn't plan to tell you, it's because she feels sorry for you! Not only are you still studying, but you also have a lot of other things on your body." Your mom wants you to have a better time and have some fun, and she doesn't want you to worry about her affairs. I think she probably didn't want you to go to the trouble of writing a book for her after you didn't want to know about it, so she didn't tell you specifically. ”
"But I seem to be in a pretty good state, and I don't feel tired at all, so I took it upon myself to mention this to you. Xiao Chengru continued, "Of course, I didn't ask you to write a book for your mother. If you have it in stock, show it to your mom. If you see a good or suitable story, or hear a suitable and interesting story, recommend it to your mother. ”
"Okay! I remember!" Xiao Yao nodded, "I don't have any movie scripts at hand now, if I see a suitable story or hear a suitable story, I will remember to recommend it to my mother." ”
Speaking of the successful case of acting and directing, the first thing Xiao Yao thought of was the "To Our Dying Youth" filmed by Zhao Wei in his previous life. With this film, Zhao Wei won a lot of awards and nominations for Best Director, Best New Director, and Best Directorial Debut. But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Yao felt that although he was also a movie queen turned into a director, the script of this movie was not suitable for being directly copied to Ye Jiaying.
First of all, there is no original work of Xin Yiwu in this world, so there is naturally a lack of some fans and some topicality. The second is that Ye Jiaying has participated in the TV series "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" as a producer and co-producer, which tells the story of young people from their student days to entering society, and then directs a movie that also sells nostalgia and feelings, it is easy to think that Ye Jiaying will only show off her feelings. In the end, Xiao Yao felt that Ye Jiaying was not Zhao Wei in her previous life after all. With different environments, different backgrounds, different network resources, and different energy, Ye Jiaying may not be suitable for the movies that Zhao Wei can make.
After passing "To Our Dying Youth" in his heart, Xiao Yao couldn't think of any other choice for the time being, so he temporarily pressed this matter down. After Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Yao did not reveal to Ye Jiaying that she already knew her plan to transform into a director, just waiting for when she remembered a good book in her heart, and after writing it, she directly took it out to surprise her.
After Chinese New Year's Eve, it is time for the Spring Festival holiday. The first few days of the first month of the New Year are the traditional time for Chinese relatives and friends to visit relatives and friends, and Xiao Yao followed his parents to walk around relatives and friends without being disturbed. Xiao Yao is a college student and has winter and summer vacations. After visiting relatives and spending the Spring Festival holiday, his vacation is not over. Xiao Yao did not return to Shanghai in advance as last year, in addition to the fact that there is no brand conference to be busy this year, it is also because the venue of this year's "Golden Saucer" Award ceremony is still in Yanjing, and the time is also in the winter vacation.
Since participating in "The Voice" that year, Xiao Yao's name has appeared on the nomination list for the "Golden Disc" Award every year. After winning several awards at the "Golden Disc" Awards as a newcomer the year before last and creating an age record for awards, at last year's "Golden Disc" Awards, Xiao Yao, who did not release an album the year before last, also gained a lot and continued a very good performance. With his performance and actions during "Singer" last year and for a period of time afterward, Xiao Yao won a bunch of nominations for the "Golden Disc" award again this year, and naturally received an invitation to attend the awards ceremony.
Xiao Yao has already refused the invitation to the "Golden Saucer" award ceremony twice, once before he was still in high school, and once to prepare for his own brand launch, although the reasons are quite sufficient, Xiao Yao also feels a little embarrassed. The date of this award ceremony is during the winter vacation, he has not yet started school, and he has no important work or things on his body, so Xiao Yao did not refuse again, and decided to attend this year's "Golden Disc" Award ceremony and present his first red carpet show.
After getting the news that Xiao Yao was sure to attend the award ceremony, the organizer of the "Golden Disc" award also announced the news on his official website for the first time. And as soon as this news was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Since the role of "Chengying" became popular, it has been more than five years since Xiao Yao officially debuted. In addition to the sophomore year in the United States, Xiao Yao has an opportunity to attend major award ceremonies every year in the "Feitian Award" in his freshman year and the "Golden Disc" award in his junior and freshman year, but he is always absent for various reasons. Now that Xiao Yao can finally be seen on the red carpet and stand on the stage to accept the award in person, fans who have been disappointed for four years are naturally overjoyed, and they are running around Weibo and Tieba and other places to tell each other.
Compared with the simple happiness of the fans, in addition to the happy report of the "Golden Disc" Award ceremony, the media also developed a certain association, thinking about the deeper reasons why Xiao Yao participated in this year's "Golden Disc" Awards.
Not to mention the "Feitian Award", at that time, he was in a closed training camp in the National Olympiad team, and he was indeed lacking in skills. However, in the absence of the two "Golden Disc" awards, Xiao Yao was not completely inseparable.
At the "Golden Disc" award ceremony the year before last, although Xiao Yao, who was still in high school, had already started school, with his ability to win the top prize in the college entrance examination, it would definitely not be a problem to take a half-day off from the school to attend the award ceremony. Last year's "Golden Disc" award ceremony was during the period when he was preparing for his personal brand press conference, but the press conference was not Xiao Yao's alone, and it was not a problem to take half a day to attend the award ceremony. Looking back now, most of the reason why he was absent in the first place was because he didn't want to go.
Many media speculated that the reason why Xiao Yao agreed to attend the "Golden Saucer" award ceremony this year is not only due to the convenience of time, but also related to the nomination he received this year and the possibility of winning the award. Judging from the list of nominees announced in advance by the organizers of the "Golden Disc" Awards, in addition to winning three creative awards and a bunch of classified works for three consecutive years, Xiao Yao also won the nomination for Best Male Singer for the first time this year.
And this year, several nominees competing for Best New Singer and Best New Singer are a few years older than Xiao Yao. If Xiao Yao can win the Best Male Singer or those three creative awards, then this year there will be a situation where the winner of the final award is younger than the winner of the same kind of newcomer award, giving people a weird feeling of "who is the newcomer". This is undoubtedly a very interesting thing, according to Xiao Yao's character, maybe witnessing the appearance of this strange phenomenon on the spot is the real reason that attracted him and made him agree to attend the award ceremony.
The results of the "Golden Disc" award will not be announced until the award ceremony, although the insider says that there will be any award, but it will basically not become the mainstream, and the media reporters with these speculations can only guess, and they dare not say conclusively that Xiao Yao can get those awards. But after those media reporters made this speculation, it attracted other media reporters and music critics to publish a lot of analysis articles about the predictions.
So far, Xiao Yao's name is indeed engraved on the "Golden Disc" trophy, and there are a total of five of them that Xiao Yao has collected at home. Five trophies in two years, this achievement is already a very good result for ordinary musicians, but on Xiao Yao, the outside world generally thinks that Xiao Yao's trophies are less.
Xiao Yaoda released his first album the year before last, won four trophies the year before last, only released a few singles the year before last, and only won one last year, which seems to be normal at first glance, but whether it is the year before or last year, there are some controversies about Xiao Yao. According to many people's opinions, the number of trophies that Xiao Yao should have won should more than double this. For example, Xiao Yao won the awards for Best Lyrics, Best Composition, and Best Arrangement in the three creative categories, not to mention that he won all of them in two years, and he should at least win four of the six. As for the awards in some other classified works, Xiao Yao should have won more.
No matter what industry it is, there are seniority and seniority that take care of the seniors and the elderly, and the music industry is no exception. The reason for the mismatch between Xiao Yao's achievements in the market and the awards is very simple, that is, his age. However, this year, Xiao Yao is very likely to break this age barrier strongly. The reason is also very simple, that is, Xiao Yao's performance last year was too bright.
In one year, he released three pure music albums, a two-disc, and an original song album with more than 20 songs. In addition to the various music charts in China, his singles and works for the band are at the top of the Billboard in the United States, and the works of Korean singers are crazy to win one place in Korean music programs. Among the network anchors, his songs are the most sung, and the public welfare songs written for the earthquake-stricken areas and the theme song and propaganda songs written for the Basketball Association are very influential. Whether it is the quantity and quality of the works, the influence of the works and the achievements achieved, there is no Chinese musician who can compare with it this year.
Of course, in addition to the work, the person's fame is also an important consideration. In this year, I can't find anyone who can compare with Xiao Yao. Not to mention the headlines that have not been broken during "Singer", plus his performance during the earthquake and the things that happened in the United States, not to mention the Chinese music scene, no one in the Chinese entertainment industry can compare with the more famous film and television actors. Such a guy, if someone still uses his age to talk about things and restrict him from winning awards, I am afraid that there will really be netizens shouting on the Internet that there is a shady scene.
With such an analysis, most music critics feel that this year's "Golden Disc" Award will be a harvest night in the true sense for Xiao Yao. There are some differences about which awards to win and how many trophies to win, but they are all optimistic that Xiao Yao will at least win more than the year before, and it is likely to create a record for the most awards in a "Golden Disc" award.
The unanimous optimism of the media and music critics also greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of Xiao Yao's fans. The award ceremony of the "Golden Disc" Award is not an airport pick-up, the time and place are not difficult to find, and Xiao Yao is going to publicly walk the red carpet to appear, so on the evening of the "Golden Disc" Award ceremony, countless "pills" gathered outside the theater where the award ceremony was held early, waiting for Xiao Yao's appearance, ready to help the idol.
At this time, not long after the Spring Festival, the temperature in Yanjing was still very low. Although it was not as unlucky as the previous year, the fans who arrived at the advantageous position and waited outside the theater were still choked by the cold. However, no matter how low the temperature is, it can't stop the enthusiasm of fans to meet their idols and cheer for them. And at the beginning of the red carpet show, these fans who saw the star idol became excited, shouting at the top of their voices, and they didn't seem to feel so cold.
Although Xiao Yao is young, he is the musician with the most nominations this year, and his fame is no worse than those old first-line singers, so his appearance time is also arranged in a relatively low position.
It's been more than half an hour since the red carpet show started, and Xiao Yao hasn't appeared yet, which makes those "pill" fans who are looking forward to seeing Xiao Yao feel a little uncomfortable and feel a trace of pride and joy in their hearts. Generally speaking, the more people who are arranged to walk the red carpet in the back, the bigger the names. The later Xiao Yao comes out, the more attention the organizers pay to him, and at the same time, it seems to mean that Xiao Yao can win awards this year, and he can win a lot of awards?
When almost two-thirds of the red carpet show passed, Xiao Yao finally appeared.
When getting out of the courtesy car at the end of the red carpet, Xiao Yao, dressed in a black suit, immediately attracted the attention of many photojournalists and fans at the scene. Countless flashing lights lit up, and fans began to shout Xiao Yao's name at the scene. However, Xiao Yao did not rush to the red carpet, nor did he wave hello to reporters and fans, but turned around and bent down slightly, with one hand behind his back, and stretched out his hand to the car next to him with the other, and first took his partner who was sitting in the car to get out of the car.
Xiao Yao's intention was obvious, and media reporters and fans also looked at the open door. A pair of feet wearing bright silver high heels first appeared in front of everyone's eyes, because they were sitting, and a beautiful calf with smooth and tight was exposed, but as the people in the car stepped out of the door and stood up, the calf was quickly covered by the white skirt and disappeared.
When Xiao Yao's partner straightened up and stood beside Xiao Yao, everyone also saw Xiao Yao's partner's face clearly. What is a little surprising is that this partner with a good face, a white long dress, and a fairy feeling is Gong Chen, who is a contracted female singer in Xiao Yao's studio and has a close relationship with Xiao Yao the year before last, but has hardly intersected with Xiao Yao in the past year.
Walking the red carpet, it is rare to walk alone. For this year's "Golden Disc" Award, Xiao Siqi was also nominated and was also to attend. Xiao Yao originally planned to walk the red carpet with his father Xiao Siqi, so as to avoid the trouble of finding a red carpet partner again, but the organizers of the "Golden Disc" award did not agree.
Both father and son are extremely famous and interesting stars. Although it is indeed a good sight for father and son to walk on the red carpet together, this is not a performance on stage after all, and it is not a particularly rare sight for husband and wife or father and son father and daughter to walk hand in hand on the red carpet. From the perspective of attracting media reporters and fans to maintain continuous attention to the red carpet show, the organizers still suggested that the two should be separated and each with another partner who walked the red carpet.
Although the "Golden Disc" Award is a grand event in the Chinese music industry, the guests who appear are not limited to the music industry, as long as they are stars, they can be attended as guests. Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao have a lot of choices, Xiao Siqi didn't think about it, so he naturally found his wife to walk the red carpet together. Xiao Yao looked for the more famous Yin Xi or Cheng Xi, even if it was a singer in his own studio, he did not choose Fan Linxuan, but chose Gong Chen, who basically had no cooperation in the past year.
According to his words, even if he didn't write a song for Gong Chen this year, he brought her to the entertainment event of the "Golden Disc" Award to show her face and help her earn popularity, which can be regarded as a thank you for helping to accept the award last year and a compensation for not writing a song for her all year and ignoring her.
Although Xiao Yao's words were very poor, Gong Chen still agreed.
On the one hand, the red carpet show of this grand event has attracted a lot of attention, and it is a rare opportunity to show your face in front of the media and the public. Although she has also released several singles in the past year, she does not have the gimmick bonus of Xiao Yao's works, and the single results are relatively average, which cannot be compared with the scenery of the previous year, and she does need such an opportunity to make a public appearance now.
What's more, this kind of red carpet show where you can choose your red carpet partner at will is mainly at music award ceremonies. Sun Tingting is going to graduate from Chambers in the United States and return to China this year, and in the future, Xiao Yao's red carpet show partner should be exclusive to Xiao Yao's girlfriend. Gong Chen has no intention of developing in the direction of an actor, and he will not have the opportunity to walk the red carpet with the entire crew at the film and television awards ceremony. If you miss this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have the opportunity to walk the red carpet hand in hand with Xiao Yao.
