Chapter 308: I was fortunate to have gained, but I lost my life
On June 12, Xu Zhen officially received an invitation letter from the Magnolia Award Organizing Committee.
He was nominated for the "Best Supporting Actor" at this year's Magnolia Awards for his role as Zhou Yu in "Three Kingdoms", so the organizing committee invited him to go to the Magic City Oriental Convention and Exhibition Center at 19:35 on the 15th of this month to participate in the award ceremony of this year's Magnolia Awards.
This is also the first time that Xu Zhen has asked for leave to go out since he entered the crew of "Langya Bang" for more than two months.
"I know you have a good memory, but try to watch it as many times as you can!"
The night before the award ceremony, in the private room of the hotel, Qiao Feng stuffed the "acceptance speech" written in advance into Xu Zhen's hand, and repeatedly advised: "What if I am too nervous and forget the words at that time?" ”
"It's always good to be prepared!"
Xu Zhen smiled helplessly, took the testimonial, and said, "Okay, I will definitely watch it a few more times tomorrow morning, Brother Qiao, don't worry." ”
After that, he put his speech aside casually and continued to look through the biography of the characters of "Langya Bang" in his hand.
Qiao Feng looked at his light and breezy appearance, and felt that he who hadn't slept well for two nights was like a mentally retarded person.
Hey, it's really that the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry!
It was such an important moment, how could he be so casual?
This makes me almost suspect that tomorrow it is not the Magnolia Award ceremony that I will attend, but the flowing water banquet where the village chief's son will get married......
"Although your call for winning the award is very high now, you still have to calm down," Qiao Feng looked blank, and he didn't know whether he was comforting Xu Zhen or comforting himself, and said, "Although the Magnolia Award is important, after all, it is only 'Best Supporting Actor', and it is not the Emperor." ”
"Your strength is here, you can win the award sooner or later, you don't have to rush."
Xu Zhen raised his head, smiled indifferently, and said, "That's right, I think so too." ”
Qiao Feng: "......"
I'm so relieved that you're in such a good old mind!
After Xu Zhen said this, he ignored Qiao Feng and continued to look down at the biography.
His mentality is really peaceful.
Being nominated for "Best Supporting Actor" for the role of Zhou Yu is the industry's recognition of himself, and he is very happy and proud.
But as for whether you can win the prize......
There is a sentence that Xu Zhen is embarrassed to say to Qiao Feng: He actually doesn't want to win this award.
The Magnolia Award is a television award organized by the General Administration of China, which aims to encourage the vigorous development of Chinese-language TV dramas, and pays the most attention to "balance".
Therefore, no matter how good a TV series is, it is impossible to sweep all the awards of the Magnolia Awards.
It is precisely because of this that for the annual fire drama, the key to winning the award is not external competition, but internal competition.
"Three Kingdoms", as last year's ratings overlord, won six nominations for Best TV Series, Best Director, and Best Actor at this year's Yulan Awards.
For each additional award, Chen Zhenghao is less likely to win the emperor.
Especially "Best Actor" and "Best Supporting Actor", it is too impulsive.
If there is a choice, Xu Zhen sincerely hopes that the other five awards of "Three Kingdoms" will not be won, and all his luck will be bet on the emperor.
As for themselves......
"Three Kingdoms" can't be obtained, and "Breaking Guandong" can't be won again, he is still young, and there is still a long way to go.
At the age of 21, the youth is just right, why worry about not getting the trophy?
……
On the day of the 15th, Qiao Feng deliberately spent a lot of money to find a top styling team to style Xu Zhen.
Since the launch conference of "Langya Bang", Xu Zhen has disappeared from the public for three months. If you don't take the opportunity of the Magnolia Award to brush up a wave of existence, the popularity that has finally soared will drop.
What made Qiao Feng a little pleased was that Joey, the stylist he had worked with last time, seemed to like Xu Zhen very much, and he tentatively contacted him, could he ask Joey to do the styling for Xu Zhen on the day of the award ceremony, but he didn't expect the other party to agree very happily.
This is not the treatment that ordinary second-tier actors can have.
6 p.m.
There was still more than an hour before the award ceremony, and the organizing committee sent a car to pick up Xu Zhen.
The red carpet of the Magnolia Awards is entered by the crew, so several nominees will travel to the venue in the same car.
"Haha, long time no see, Xiao Xu!"
When Gao Jin, the chief director of "Three Kingdoms", saw him, gave him a hug with a smile on his face, looked Xu Zhen up and down, and sighed: "More and more handsome!" ”
"And I'm calm and confident."
"Now you are more like Zhou Yu than you were back then," Gao Zhen patted his thigh and said with regret on his face, "Alas, "Three Kingdoms" was filmed early! ”
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people around couldn't help laughing.
After picking up Xu Zhen, the group went to pick up Chen Zhenghao.
Today's Chen Zhenghao is not as casual as usual, but wears a well-cut black suit, and his hairstyle and makeup are also meticulous.
Now Xu Zhen has been in the circle for a long time, and he has a little shallow knowledge, as soon as he saw the buttons of Chen Zhenghao's suit, he had a general idea of this outfit.
- The concept is that if you accidentally get someone's clothes dirty, the cost of cleaning and care can hurt you.
When you have a drinking party for a while, you must be careful and careful......
Chen Zhenghao greeted everyone with a smile and sat quietly on the seat in the middle of the business car.
After he got in the car, the atmosphere of the "Three Kingdoms" crew suddenly calmed down, and it was no longer as relaxed as just now.
The group chatted casually on the road, and Gao Zhen saw that Chen Zhenghao had never said a word, and took the initiative to ask him what he had been doing recently.
Chen Zhenghao seemed to shake his head for a moment, and then he talked about a movie he was making recently, and the content was extremely stylized, and it sounded like he was memorizing a text.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt his nervousness, and no one deliberately poked it.
……
At 7:35 p.m., the crew of "Three Kingdoms" arrived outside the venue on time and were about to go to the award ceremony through a red carpet tens of meters long.
The organizers have sent people to maintain order near the venue, and there are more police patrols on the periphery, except for vehicles and personnel that have been registered, and no one can enter.
"Click, click, click......"
Xu Zhen got out of the car, and he was greeted by the fierce bombardment of countless long guns and short cannons.
He stepped onto the red carpet, calmly stared directly at the flashing lights around him, and politely waved to the media people on both sides of the road.
At the same time, the online live broadcast channel of the Magnolia Award ceremony has also been opened, and the crew of "Three Kingdoms", as the first team to arrive at the scene, took the lead in appearing in the live broadcast screen.
In less than half a minute, the live broadcast room was swept through by the barrage of netizens.
"Ahhh What kind of fairy live broadcast is this!! ”
"My dear mother! The phone screen is about to be licked by me!! ”
"Hey, seeing that my Ah Zhen doesn't hide from the camera on the red carpet, I feel like my own children have grown up, and I am very relieved."
"Chen Zhenghao really came again this year, and he never missed the opportunity to receive the award in person"
"It doesn't matter if you win the award or not, the important thing is to be in the same frame! Yu Liang in the same frame, dear!! ”
"Poof...... I can't help but want to laugh a little, everyone walks the red carpet with handsome guys holding beautiful women, what the hell is a group of big men here in the crew of "Three Kingdoms"? ”
"No way, "Three Kingdoms" is a purely men's drama, and female characters really can't be nominated for the Magnolia Award"
"Hahahaha when I watched Director Gao's group photo, I dodged left and right, dodged Chen Zhenghao, and finally didn't dodge Xu Zhen"
"It's so miserable, ordinary people really don't want to take pictures with artists...... Gao Dao stood next to Xu Zhen, and for the first time I understood what it meant to be 'one head and two big'"
“……”
As an annual ceremony in the TV drama industry, the live broadcast of the Magnolia Award has naturally won the attention of countless netizens.
However, this excitement Xu Zhen and others can't feel it.
After the filming outside, the crew of "Three Kingdoms" came to the venue under the guidance of the staff.
Journalists and fans are not allowed to enter the infield, so apart from the staff, the presenters and the nominees, there is only the organizer's camera team, and the surroundings are surprisingly quiet.
Xu Zhen and others sat in their seats for more than 40 minutes before all the crews finally entered.
In a dazzling light and shadow special effects and majestic background music, the host took the stage to announce the official start of the award ceremony.
Xu Zhen flipped through the handbook distributed by the staff and knew that the first awards would be international awards, and they had nothing to do with himself and others.
It wasn't until more than half an hour that the awards ceremony came to the TV drama unit.
In an instant, he clearly felt that the atmosphere around him had changed.
Many people at the scene subconsciously adjusted their sitting posture and straightened the expressions on their faces.
It's time for the big show.
"The next thing we want to announce is the best art award in the TV drama unit," the host said with a smile on the stage, "The award presenters are, Sun Yaping, the director of the TV series "The Legend of the Martyrs", and Cao Hong, director of the Fine Arts Department of Huaxia Media and Communication College, ......"
Xu Zhen involuntarily clenched the armrests of the seat.
On the stage, the award presenters tore open the sealed card after some greetings.
"The winner of the Best Art Award is," the award presenter paused slightly, raised his head and smiled, "TV series, "Jinling Elegy"! Congratulations! ”
Hearing this name, the art director of the "Three Kingdoms" crew was slightly disappointed, and although Xu Zhen felt a little sorry, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
One, missed......
However, unfortunately, less than half a minute after his breath, the list of best cinematography was announced, and the winning play was "Three Kingdoms".
Immediately afterwards, the awards of the TV drama unit began to be announced in turn, Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best TV Series......
The crew of "Three Kingdoms" won two awards one after another: Best Cinematography and Best TV Series, and Xu Zhen's heart suddenly rose again.
"The next thing to be revealed is the Best Supporting Actor award." The moderator said with a smile on his face.
Xu Zhen frowned slightly, and couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.
Don't win, don't win, don't win......
However, at this time, I heard the host say: "The two award presenters are, the actor who won the 12th Magnolia Award for Best Actress through "Lonely City", Liang Minying, and the national first-class actor, Li Yongbin. ”
"Two award presenters, please!"
As soon as he heard these two names, in an instant, countless eyes around him shot at Xu Zhen at the same time.
The award presenters were Liang Minying and Li Yongbin......
Who will the winners be, and will they still need to be announced?
Xu Zhen looked at the eyes of the people around him, his expression was stunned, and his heart pounded.
Due to the transfer of the filming location of "Langya Bang", Teacher Liang Minying has not been with him recently.
And because the relevant personnel will sign a confidentiality agreement in advance, he really didn't know that his "father" would come to the Magnolia Award site to present the award.
And it happened to be the Best Supporting Actor award......
“…… Teacher Li and I have just collaborated on a new play called "Breaking through the Guandong" On the stage, Liang Minying was wearing a dark purple dress and delicate makeup, turned her head to look at Li Yongbin on the side, and said with a smile, "We play a couple in the play." ”
The two agreed to be the guests of the awards, obviously with a publicity task, and Li Yongbin immediately introduced the drama "Breaking through the Guandong".
After briefly playing the performance clips of the five candidates, Liang Minying opened the inscription card in his hand, and a heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"The actor who won the 'Best Supporting Actor' at this year's Magnolia Awards is," she raised her head, looked through the crowd, looked straight at Xu Zhen, and said with a smile, "The actor of Zhou Yu in "Three Kingdoms", Xu Zhen! ”
"Bang Bang ......"
In the audience, a burst of warm applause rang out, and countless people at the banquet looked at the crew of "Three Kingdoms" at the same time.
Best Supporting Actor at 21 years old!
Although Xu Zhen's voice before the ceremony was very high, when the award was really announced, everyone couldn't help but be a little shocked.
This is probably the youngest winner of "Best Supporting Actor" since the establishment of the Magnolia Awards.
The real future is limitless!
"Congratulations!"
Chen Zhenghao on the side smiled and gave him a congratulatory hug.
Immediately afterwards, the chief director Gao Jin, the director of photography Sun Jian, who had just won the Best Cinematography Award, and others left their seats and came over to hug him, with encouraging smiles in their eyes.
Xu Zhen stood in his seat in a daze, and did not move his steps for a long time.
"Go," Chen Zhenghao nudged him lightly and said with a smile, "Go on stage to receive the award." ”
Xu Zhen glanced down at Chen Zhenghao, looking a little at a loss.
Chen Zhenghao tilted his head, met this gaze, and bit his lip lightly.
He knew that the cameras in the venue were shining on them.
After more than ten years of professionalism, there is no flaw in the look in his eyes.
At this point, however, he knew it was over.
Since the establishment of the Magnolia Awards, there has never been a TV series that has won both "Best Actor" and "Best Supporting Actor" awards.
Since the "Best Supporting Actor" was given to Xu Zhen, he is destined to miss out on this year's TV Emperor.
When the dust settles, it's the same ending again.
Chen Zhenghao thought that he was very uncomfortable, but in fact, he felt a little relieved.
Seeing that Xu Zhen finally left the seat and walked to the stage step by step, the corners of Chen Zhenghao's mouth curled slightly.
He was heartily gratified.
