Chapter 395: The Competition Begins

Although the organizers are reluctant to admit it, anyone with a discerning eye knows that with the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers and even the Huabiao Awards continue to produce double and even more yolk eggs, the credibility and influence of the major film awards in the mainland are indeed declining.

Coupled with the customary principle of 'no two emperors and queens' in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, many actors who are obviously good enough to perform cannot get the praise they deserve, and this kind of thing also highlights the rigidity and inappropriateness of the evaluation system of the two major awards in the mainland on the other hand.

But in any case, as a film award that has been founded since 1981 and has continued to this day, the Golden Rooster Award has accumulated enough influence in the minds of industry insiders and audiences for more than 30 years......

With the opening of the red carpet, people in the big tent walked on the red carpet leading to the infield of the awards ceremony according to the guidance of the organizer.

As the favorite to win the award, "1942" won a total of eight awards this time, including Best Feature Film, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay, which can be called the biggest favorite at today's awards ceremony.

Although "Chinese Partner" is not as good as "1942" in terms of the number of awards, it also won six nominations, including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Cinematography......

If you add the two films "Breakup Master" and "Get Out, Tumor", the films produced by Molong even surpass the Wang Group in terms of the number of nominations.

The most important thing is that compared with the importance and apprehension of the Wang Group and Feng Gang himself about "1942", although Molong Media is also very nervous, this tension is more buried in Zong Shuai and Li Mo, who are specifically responsible for planning and operating the whole thing.

…… At least Wang Kai, Wan Qian and Liu Yifei, who came to attend the award ceremony today, are directly candidates for the award, but they don't look like they are under pressure.

God knows if it was Li Mo who let them give their acceptance speeches in advance.

What's more, the red carpet is an area for actors and actresses, even if Li Mo once played the role of Xiao Xia in "Get Out, Tumor", he has always only regarded appearing as an actor as his sideline.

Unless the company really doesn't have a suitable candidate, he will never overstep his bounds.

As usual, after Li Mo walked on the red carpet, he just waved to the fan area, and then passed the red carpet at a normal walking speed called 'fast', and after entering the interview area and saying a few casual words, he walked into the infield, and then met with Zong Shuai who entered from another entrance, under the guidance of the staff, the two quickly found their seats, sat down and waited for the award ceremony to begin.

Different from previous award ceremonies, this time, because there was a link where the actors and actresses nominated for the actor and actress would be arranged to sit in the front row, the organizers simply broke the usual practice of dividing seats in the form of a crew, and instead communicated with the organizers of the conference in advance by various companies or participating groups, and then arranged seats.

The position where Li Mo and the others are now sitting is the seating area belonging to Molong Media, except for Li Mo, Zong Shuai and some members of the production team, the actors are still waiting for the notice in the big tent.

Compared with Li Mo, they need exposure more......

…………

After waiting for a while, as the actors walked into the venue through the red carpet in turn, the atmosphere in the huge cultural convention and exhibition center gradually began to be solemn.

After all, no matter how much they say, 'you must keep a peaceful mentality if you don't win the award', and 'I'm here to learn from the seniors in the industry', but the candidates who can attend in person must still have more or less expectations for the award in their hearts.

Before the ceremony began, Fat Di quietly patted Li Mo's arm, leaned next to him and asked in a low voice, "Senior brother, can we win the award this time?"

Li Mo first secretly glanced at Wan Qian and Wang Kai who were sitting a little farther away, although these two seemed to be looking at the stage in front of them with interest, but their eyes looking in the direction of Li Mo from time to time still exposed the tension in their hearts.

After all, these two are in their early thirties this year, and if they can get a convincing award, it will definitely help their future acting career.

Li Mo smiled slightly, then also leaned into Fat Di's ear, blew into her ear, and then said: "What's the matter? You didn't get the nomination, why are you so nervous?"

"I hate it!" Fat Di twisted his body uncomfortably, pouted and replied in a low voice: "I didn't ask for myself, Sister Qian and Brother Kai have been fidgeting, so they want to ask, if you don't say it, forget it." ”

"How can this kind of thing be said to be sure of victory," like the previous two days, Li Mo still didn't say anything to death, "But if nothing else, Sister Qian and Wang Kai's best supporting actor and actress should have a certainty of about seventy or eighty." ”

"It's not 100 percent......" Fat Di's tone was still a little disappointed.

I don't know if Li Mo has always impressed her too much, which made her have an illusion, as if as long as Li Mo makes a move, there is nothing he can't do.

"Seventy or eighty percent is not low......"

Just when Li Mo wanted to continue to explain the doorway to Fat Di, the music on the stage suddenly sounded, everyone looked ahead, and then clapped their palms together with the others, and the 29th Tianchao Film Golden Rooster Award Ceremony officially kicked off.

I don't know if it is the past few Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award ceremonies spent a lot of money but did not receive good feedback because, this year's Golden Rooster Award, it is said that under the suppression of the principle of advocating frugality, from the initial budget of more than 9 million yuan all the way down the cliff, and finally the organizing committee announced the cost of only about 300,000 yuan......

Regarding this kind of unreliable figure, Li Mo said that he didn't believe it at all.

Not to mention the red carpet outside and the huge tent in the waiting area, even the daily security costs from the opening of the film festival to the present add up to more than that, right?

It is estimated that the figure announced by the organizers is only the budget for this evening's awards ceremony.

After the fifteen-minute Jiangcheng promotional video ended, as one of the shortlisted candidates for the male and female leads, Wang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei were invited by the organizer to sit in the front row of the venue.

What Li Mo didn't expect was that I don't know if the organizers of this time planned to create the principle of openness and transparency of the Golden Rooster Awards, and actually pulled all the participating members, including the director of the jury, to the stage.

Although Li Mo does not know these well-known predecessors in the industry, according to Zong Shuai, at least 75% of the people or his friends have had contact with Molong Media.

Seeing this, Li Mo finally knows why in his previous life since 2014, the credibility of the awards ceremony has declined year by year - it turns out that the judges are hidden behind the scenes, and those who are qualified for public relations must be large companies that are deeply rooted in the industry.

But soon, Li Mo didn't care about complaining about the organizer's brain-dead moves.

Because the first award tonight is being presented immediately - Best Supporting Actress.

Whether Molong Media can make a good start this time depends on this wave.
