Entertaining Children

When participating in an award ceremony, it is not illegal to mention one's new work when interviewed by the media or an off-site host, and by the way, advertise it. It's not uncommon for celebrities to do this before, but it's relatively rare for Xiao Yao to be brought out by the boos of fans.

But in any case, for tonight's "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony, Xiao Yao's new work is a digression. After the advertisement was finished, Lu Ke also brought the topic back to the main topic. The so-called main topic, of course, is to ask Xiao Yao some questions related to tonight's "Golden Dragon Award", that is, participating in the award ceremony, feelings about being nominated, and expectations for winning the award.

For these more conventional questions, Xiao Yao's answers are quite satisfactory. The former is nothing more than honor and joy, while the latter basically maintains the same attitude as Ye Jiaying. He has some ideas about the newcomer award, and the actor is nominated. It is a great honor .

After the interview on the red carpet ended, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao walked into the theater of the awards ceremony together, and the staff at the door immediately stepped forward and took the two to their seats.

The two belonged to the same crew, and they were also mother and son. The organizer naturally arranged their seats together.

"Bayi, I didn't expect that you really did not ask me and your father to help that animation film until the post-production stage!" After the two sat down, Ye Jiaying whispered to Xiao Yao, "Is there anything else that needs to be done at home?" help?"

Ye Jiaying, Xiao Siqi, and Xiao Chengru all knew for a long time that Xiao Yao was working with a special effects company to make an animated film, but they agreed to let Xiao Yao do it by himself, and they didn't know the details and progress of this animated film. Xiao Yao mentioned it on the red carpet just now, and Ye Jiaying also became concerned by the way.

"Funding? There should be no problem with this." Xiao Yao smiled.

"Not only in terms of funding," Ye Jiaying said, "Post-production talents, such as editors, but also in terms of finding cooperative distribution companies, publicity companies, and the process of submitting for review. I can help you recommend and contact some of them. Relatively strong company and people.”

"Mr. Tong's company has talents in post-production. Except for the soundtrack, the people in his company should be competent for other duties." Xiao Yao smiled, "As for the cooperation in publicity and distribution As for the company, I really don’t have any options yet. But my request is quite special, and I’m afraid the companies you’re used to working with may not be able to accept it.”

"What special request?" Ye Jiaying asked.

"Before and during the film's release, I don't plan to run a road show!" Xiao Yao laughed, "The cooperative company in the announcement and distribution will participate in the box office share. If I don't run a road show, it will definitely affect the box office in their opinion. The more A powerful big company has more power to speak, so they probably won’t agree with me to do this, right?”

"No road show? Why?" Ye Jiaying asked strangely,

"Is it too hard? It wasn't very tiring to see you during our movie road show last year. At that time, I felt that you were more comfortable than all of us."

"That's because my physical strength and energy are better than yours, but that doesn't mean I like to spend my physical strength and energy on these things." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Last year was your movie, and I cooperated unconditionally. This time it's mine. Movies, when I can make my own decisions, I don’t want to run away.”

"To be honest, the road show can indeed increase the rate of filming and increase the box office. But in general, the biggest factor affecting the box office is the quality of the movie and the audience's reputation." Xiao Yao continued, "Also, animation The investment in the movie is huge. It is very difficult to make money or even pay back the cost by box office alone. However, there are peripheral derivatives as a source of income. I am very confident in the quality and reputation of this animated film, and peripheral derivatives are such a source of income. In terms of revenue channels, I really don’t pay much attention to the part of the box office that is increased through roadshows.”

"Well, you really are..." Ye Jiaying didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, I will talk to you when I need your help," Xiao Yao finally said with a smile, "You are my mother, so I won't be embarrassed!"

"Okay, you can decide for yourself." Ye Jiaying smiled and shook her head, "Don't talk about work, tell me about you and Duo'er. Take her to Europe this time. Where did you go?"

The group of Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao walked the red carpet earlier. But Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao were chatting, and the time passed much faster without knowing it.

At about 7:50 in the evening, all the lights on the stage went dark. At eight o'clock, the lights on the scene dimmed, and the celebrities and guests in the auditorium and the audience fell silent.

After the audience was all quiet, the lights on the stage were turned on, and a weaker light blue light was lit on the auditorium. The most striking thing was that the big screen on the background wall on the stage lit up.

This is an award ceremony for film awards. The large screen on the background wall on the stage is also arranged in a horizontal screen mode similar to a movie playing in a theater. At the beginning of the awards ceremony, the host did not appear on stage, and there was no narration sounded at the scene. Instead, posters of some excellent Chinese movies were played on the big screen.

After the movie posters of more than 30 movies were played, the music sounded on the scene. A group of dancers ran onto the stage, and the big screen at the scene was changed to play the movie clips of the films nominated for this year's "Golden Dragon Award".

The opening of the awards ceremony was a song and dance performance. After the dancers performed for a while, the singer of this performance came out from the dance group, stood in front of the stage and began to sing.

The guest performer at the opening of the awards ceremony was a female singer in her thirties named Qian Mengyun. Xiao Yao has never collaborated with this female singer, nor does he know her personally. However, although Xiao Yao didn't know the female singer, he heard the song that the female singer was going to perform from the opening music prelude. It was a movie that was nominated for the "Golden Dragon Award" Best Film and Best Music Awards this year. 's theme song.

"I would like to invite the hosts of the "Golden Dragon Awards" ceremony tonight..." After a lively opening song and dance performance, the singers and dancers left the stage, and the three hosts walked onto the stage amidst the introduction of the narration.

The three hosts took turns to introduce themselves, and then gave a rather solemn and humorous opening speech, and then announced the name of the first award to be awarded tonight, and invited the first award winner tonight. To the award presenters.

Many awards ceremonies are accustomed to placing the awards for new humans in a relatively high position. The "Golden Dragon Award" has two awards for newcomers, Best Newcomer Actor and Best Director's Debut. Comparing these two awards, it is obvious that the awards given to rookie directors are more important, and the award for the best rookie actor is given out at the front. The first award to be presented tonight is the award for the best new actor that Xiao Yao was nominated for.

Most of the award presenters are a combination of a man and a woman. The same is true for the two presenters who presented the best newcomer award this time. Among them, the male guest is named Chen Zhe, and the female guest is named Qin Zhiyin, both of whom are very famous movie actors. However, these two are not "old guys" in the film industry, but Mesozoic film actors in their thirties and forties.

Although from an intuitive impression, such an arrangement is not as meaningful as the two old seniors Xiao Chengru and Tian Fangzhen presenting awards to newcomers in the "Flying Awards" of TV dramas, but these two Mesozoic actors have won Those who have been nominated or won the "Golden Dragon Award" for best new actor, in a sense, also have such a sense of inheritance in it.

Neither of these two award presenters had ever cooperated with Xiao Yao, nor had they had any interaction with Xiao Yao, so from the selection of this award presenter alone, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao couldn't tell whether Xiao Yao could get this year's award. Best New Actor Award.

After the two award presenters entered the stage, they chatted awkwardly, and Qin Zhiyin, who was holding the envelope, turned around and pointed to the big screen at the back, saying, "The one who has been nominated for the best newcomer actor of this "Golden Dragon Award" is, please watch the big screen!"

The lights on the stage were dimmed, and the big screen on the background wall was lit up. With the introduction of the voice next to the scene, the film clips of the nominees began to be played on the big screen one by one.

There are a total of five nominees for the Best New Actor Award this time, three actresses and two actors. Every time a clip of a nominated actor's film appeared on the big screen, there was a burst of applause.

The stage lights came back on as the nominees' clips finished playing. Amid even more enthusiastic applause from the audience, Qin Zhiyin on the stage opened the envelope and pulled out the card with the winner's information inside.

After the audience's applause died down a bit, Qin Zhiyin slightly bent over to the microphone and read: "The 53rd "Golden Dragon Award" Best New Actor Award..."

When Qin Zhiyin was thinking about the winners, a line of "Best Newcomer Actor Award" subtitles appeared on the top of the big screen at the scene, and five small windows appeared below in the form of two up and down three, and in each small window was a cut It showed the expressions of the five nominees sitting in the auditorium at this time.

Xiao Yao is the youngest actor in the history of the world's "Golden Dragon Awards" when he was nominated for Best Actor, but he was not the youngest actor when he was nominated for the Best New Actor Award. Even at this year's "Golden Dragon Awards", Xiao Yao was not the youngest among the five nominees.

Among the five nominated actors, the oldest is twenty-eight years old, and the youngest is eighteen. Xiao Yao is neither the youngest nor the oldest, but judging from the big screen at the scene, Xiao Yao is the calmest one. Even the 28-year-old actor Bai Yuteng, who has acted in more than a dozen TV dramas, now has a more nervous expression on his face than Xiao Yao.

"The winner is~" After reading this, Qin Zhiyin held the card between her and Chen Zhe, and gave him another look.

Chen Zhe understood, looked down at the card, then raised his head and met Qin Zhiyin's eyes, and the two announced with a smile, "Xiao Yao! "127 Hours"!"

"Wow~" There was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

Xiao Yao, who was sitting in the front row of the auditorium, first smiled and hugged Ye Jiaying beside him, then bent down and high-fived several crew members who were farther away, accepted their congratulations, and then puffed up his chest and walked towards stage.

The award ceremony of the "Golden Dragon Award" is regarded as an award with a serious atmosphere in China. This is due to the fact that there are not many fanatical fans in the auditorium. During the award ceremony, there are mostly applause, and there are few cheers and screams. It can also be seen.

At a serious awards ceremony, the two award presenters on the stage were not very familiar with each other, so Xiao Yao didn't hug the two of them after he stepped onto the stage, but bent down very politely and politely to shake hands with the two seniors. shook hands.

After shaking hands, Qin Zhiyin picked up the "Golden Dragon Award" trophy from the tray held by the Miss Etiquette behind her, and handed her hands to Xiao Yao. After Xiao Yao took the trophy with both hands, Qin Zhiyin stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation, and took a step back with Chen Zhe, giving the stage to Xiao Yao to give his acceptance speech.

Xiao Yao, who was standing in front of the microphone with the trophy, was not in a hurry to speak. He looked down at the trophy in his hand, as if taking advantage of this time to organize his words, and then he leaned in front of the microphone and smiled, "Thank you!"

"I am very happy and honored to receive this award." Xiao Yao continued, "Thank you to the judges, thank you to the organizer, thank you to every audience who walked into the cinema to watch the movie "127 Hours", and thank you to all the crew of "127 Hours" The crew in front of and behind the scenes!"

"The thanks of the group are over, and I would like to thank some individuals who are very special to me." Xiao Yao paused and continued, "Thank you to my parents, you will always be my strong backing and support, I love you. Thank you Grandpa, because you took me to the crew when I was very young, I became interested in film and television and acting. And the teaching you taught me when I was young is the foundation for me to be able to stand here today."

"I would also like to thank Teacher Sun Zhihao!" Xiao Yao said with an emphasis, "Although my grandfather was the one who led me to become interested in acting, he was not my first teacher in acting. My first teacher in acting , it’s Teacher Sun Zhihao, so I want to thank him especially here. It’s definitely not because he is my girlfriend’s father, I’m here to take this opportunity to curry favor with him!”

"Haha~"

When he said the last sentence of this paragraph, Xiao Yao put on a solemn and serious expression that was obviously from the performance, and some laughter erupted from the audience because of this.

"In addition to thanking, I have to praise someone!" The audience smiled, Xiao Yao couldn't hold back the serious expression on his face, and continued with a smile, "Our movie is based on Mr. Zhan Youcheng's real experience. Yes. When preparing for this movie, the person involved, Mr. Zhan Youcheng, put forward a condition to Director Ye Jiaying, that is, the hero of this movie, that is, his role, must be played by me~"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yao raised the trophy in his hand, then put up the thumb of the other hand and continued with a smile, "Facts have proved, Brother Cheng, you are really discerning!"

"Ha~"

"Woo~"

After hearing Xiao Yao's words, the audience burst into laughter again. There were some hisses mixed in with the laughter.

"Finally," after the laughter and boos, Xiao Yao became really serious and said seriously, "I am very honored to be able to participate in the performance of the movie "127 Hours". It is not because of my role in this movie I won the award, but because I was fortunate enough to let more and more people know the deeds of Mr. Zhan Youcheng..."
