Chapter 113: Starlight Award
"Xiao Jia, good news! Great news! On the morning of January 17, Jia Yapeng, who had just returned to the office, learned that Dai Lao had called him more than a dozen times in a row to ask if he had come to work.
Jia Yapeng thought that something was wrong with the dynasty, so he immediately called back to ask, but he didn't expect that as soon as the phone was connected, he heard Dai Lao's excited voice.
Dai Lao's voice was so excited that Jia Yapeng couldn't hear what he was talking about, and it was only after a long time that he finally figured out that he had won the award, and he still won the Best Children's Animated Series Award at the top Starlight Awards in the country.
"Starlight Awards? Why have I never heard of this award, is this really the best in the country? Jia Yapeng said with a smile on the phone, almost not Dai Lao to death.
"Huaxia TV "Starlight Award" is a government award sponsored by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, with ideology, artistry, and ornamentation "unity of the three sexes" as the judging criteria, "Starlight Award" is one of the three national government awards alongside the Huaxia TV drama "Feitian Award" and Huaxia Film Huabiao Award, and it is the highest award of Huaxia TV art!! Dai Lao was on the phone, and he used an introduction that was obviously copied from Baidu Encyclopedia to popularize science to Jia Yapeng.
"Oh!" Jia Yapeng nodded, among the three awards, the later Feitian Award and Huabiao Award are often reported on TV and the media, but this Starlight Award is really not very famous in later generations, and it is understandable that Jia Yapeng is not clear.
"Anyway, Xiao Jia, this is the highest award that our TV animation can get in China, and we have also set a record, becoming the first Chinese animation series to win the Starlight Award for Best Children's Animated Drama Series, this is a historic breakthrough!" It can be heard that Dai Lao is indeed very excited.
"It's impossible, no animation TV has won an award before," Jia Yapeng asked in disbelief.
"Not really!" Dai Lao said with a smile, "Actually, this award was only established in 1987, and the grade is not big, and there are only 4 sessions so far, and this is the fifth session." ”
"Since 1987, although there are still some cartoons in Huaxia, they are basically some animated short films, and there are only two that can really be called animated series, namely "The Adventures of the Sloppy King" in 1987 and "Shuke and Beta" in 1989
"These two animations are very famous, and they have won more than enough awards, so why didn't they win awards?" Jia Yapeng asked in surprise.
"Because in 1987, when this award was just established, TV animated series were not considered, so "The Adventures of the Sloppy King" in 87 did not participate. Later, in eight or nine years, the award for the best TV animated series was established, but the original author of "Shuke and Beta" had a strange temper, and there were a lot of unpleasant things in the game, so he was not given it. ”
"Since then, there has never been a real TV animation series, because Shangying has been unable to pay salaries, and the animation TV industry in Huaxia is basically finished, if you don't intervene, this year's Best TV Animation Series Award will definitely be in vain!" Dai Lao said this, and couldn't help sighing.
Indeed, since 1990, Huaxia's TV animation has fallen into the darkest decade, and in the 10 years from 1990 to 2000, Huaxia has not even made a TV animation of its own.
In addition to economic reasons, the more important reason is that foreign animation, especially a large number of high-quality Fuso animations hit the domestic market, "Saint Seiya", "Dragon Ball", "Transformers", "Demon God Fighter", "Dragon Fighter" and a series of Fuso animations have been introduced into China.
The cost of introducing these animations is relatively low, and it is much more cost-effective than making their own animations in China, and even top art companies like Shangying are overwhelmed.
Although Shangying Jedi counterattacked later and made a domestic animated film like "Baolian Lantern", which has always stood at the pinnacle of domestic commerce, and in 2002, there was also a TV animation of "I'm Crazy for Song", but I didn't expect this to be the last counterattack.
After I was crazy about the song, Shangying basically entered a situation where it was about to go out of business, if it weren't for the fact that the country didn't allow this Chinese animation card to fall down, I'm afraid it would no longer exist.
Even in 2020, Shangying did not recover its vitality, let alone make one or two steps to make the Chinese audience refreshed by animation, but began to continue to eat the old book, what is the new version of the black cat sheriff, the new version of the gourd baby, I am crazy about the song or something, the godhead is completely fallen.
So for a long time, domestic TV awards don't play with domestic animation, it's not that they look down on domestic animation, but there is no domestic animation at all.
On the contrary, it is a domestic animated film, which gradually set sail and has become a legend.
So this time, the appearance of Jia Yapeng's "The Legend of the Water Margin Heroes" can be said to have saved the domestic animation, and the only domestic animation in 1991, the Starlight Award naturally fell on the head of "The Legend of the Water Margin Heroes".
And Dai Lao called Jia Yapeng this time, not only to tell him the good news, but also to make a request to let him go to the imperial capital to receive the award, and the time to receive the award is very close, just on January 25th.
Jia Yapeng was reluctant to do this, he said that he would just leave this glorious moment to Dai Lao, an old-timer, and he would not go, he still had a lot of things to do in the company.
But Dai Lao's attitude is very tough, he said that he is an old man, and he has actually looked down on these awards or something, and he has many awards on him, so it doesn't matter about these.
But he, Jia Yapeng, as a newcomer in the animation industry, must participate in this award ceremony, so that he can get acquainted with people in the industry and get a network.
And more importantly, as the boss of the dynasty, he must give the Starlight Award and the radio and television behind him this face, otherwise he will inevitably have small shoes to wear in the future.
Hearing Dai Lao say this, Jia Yapeng seriously considered Dai Lao's suggestion, and when he remembered the real estate certificate of two sacks in his house, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay Zhang Lao, I'll leave for the imperial capital this afternoon!" ”
"So early?" Dai Lao was taken aback by this answer, after all, the award ceremony was on January 25th, and it was enough for Jia Yapeng to leave on the 23rd, and now he ran over on the 16th, isn't it too early.
"Not early, not early, I still have some things to arrange!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile, then hung up the phone, and at the same time ordered Zhu Qiushui to get two tickets to the imperial capital as soon as possible, and the two of them flew directly to the imperial capital.
The reason why Jia Yapeng left so quickly was naturally not because Jia Yapeng took this Starlight Award very seriously or anything, but because he attached great importance to his two sacks of real estate certificates.
The real estate certificates of his thousands of houses in the imperial capital had been sent over as early as two months ago, and Jia Yapeng was already the owner of these thousands of properties, but because he was busy with lawsuits and four-wheel drive vehicles, Jia Yapeng had not taken care of these real estate certificates.
At this time, although the company is busy with the production and sales of four-wheel drive vehicles, in fact, everything is on the right track, and Jia Yapeng is not needed to do it himself, the factory directors below can call the shots, and Jia Yapeng actually has nothing to do.
This time, since he is going to the imperial capital to receive the award, then Jia Yapeng plans to simply dispose of these properties, these houses can't be bought and put there to be moldy, but Jia Yapeng has no intention of selling them in more than ten years, so taking them out for rent is the best choice, thousands of properties, and the rent is more than 100,000 yuan a month, which is not a small amount of money.
Therefore, Jia Yapeng took Zhu Qiushui to the imperial capital this time, planning to use this time to arrange the rental of the house properly, so that he could become a stable cash cow for himself.
