Chapter 103 Awards
Yang Lan, the host who partnered with Cao Kefan, looked at the suddenly falling into a quiet venue and immediately filled the loophole in Cao Kefan's speech: "Last year, Yu Wei and Mao Dou Dou, a young couple on the screen, won the laughter and tears of the audience across the country. Today, their actors came to the award ceremony for the Magic City TV Festival again. Let us give warm applause, please invite the award presenters Xu Rong and Hai Qing."
Extremely warm applause came from the scene. I don’t know whether to welcome Xu Rong and Hai Qing or cheer for Yang Lan’s on-site response.
Cao Kefan smiled politely but awkwardly. Compared with the more serious award ceremony in the north represented by the Feitian Awards, Magnolia's is more free and open, and relatively speaking, it also has the element of entertaining the public.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were almost entirely focused on Xu Rong's back as he stood up and walked towards the stage.
Xu Rong was the guest of the two finale awards?
Last year at the Magic City TV Festival, Xu Rong, the male lead of "The Beautiful Era of Wife", and the female lead of Hai Qing, all accompanied him. Instead, Bai Han, who played Yu Wei's mother Cao Xinmei, finally won the honor of being the best.
Xu Rong ran with him, no one felt that there was any surprise. If the gap between competitors was not so great that it was difficult to block the public, the major awards would generally try their best to avoid individual actors being the best in the audience and the best in the audience.
However, since the Magnolia Awards were defeated last year, Xu Rong has been singing and advancing in the field of TV dramas, like a strong dragon over the river. First, he reversed the strange ratings of "Ming Dynasty 1566" by himself, and then starring "Before Dawn" and "Snow Leopard" successively swept all TV dramas released at the same time, especially "Before Dawn". The ratings and reputation exploded, and it is known as another peak in the field of spy warfare after "Luxing".
However, today, Xu Rong, as one of the shortlisted actors at this year's Magnolia Awards and is a popular actress, stepped onto the podium as an award presenter.
This means that before the award was announced, he had lost the qualification to compete.
The practitioners and viewers of the TV drama industry present, looking at the back of a straight suit, were very curious about the true thoughts in Xu Rong's heart and what expressions he would make after he turned around.
Xu Rong doesn't care. He is a veteran and the Grand Slam Emperor. He has long stopped taking a mere Magnolia trophy seriously.
Moreover, when the organizer invited him as the award presenter, he also explained why the Magnolia Award could not be awarded to him again.
There are too many scenes of smoking and drinking in "Before Dawn". The main actors, whether they are positive or negative characters, want to keep smoking. The Liu Xinjie he portrayed not only smokes, but also drinks like life.
If the Magnolia Award is awarded to him, it will create extremely bad directions for the teenagers.
In fact, Xu Rong knew better that these were just relatively euphemistic statements. The real reason was that he was crowned with spy war two years ago. The second Magnolia trophy could never be the spy war he was best at. This is the convention of the Magnolia Award.
The two of them came to the center of the stage and stood in front of the microphone. Haiqing tilted her head slightly according to the lines he had rehearsed before, looked at Xu Rong and said with a smile: "Xu Rong, at the important moment when the best actor and actress is about to be announced, are you very sorry for you to come on stage as an awards guest?"
Xu Rong immediately "strikes" back: "You are also an award presenter, I'm afraid you're even more regretful than me. I've won the award once."
"Hahaha."
After the two of them came on stage, they opened their mouths and revealed each other's old secrets, which immediately made the stagnant atmosphere slightly loosened.
After saying "suffering" Hai Qing, Xu Rong turned his head and looked at the audience, saying, "This year is my third time being shortlisted for the Magnolia Award. It is really a bit self-deception to say that I don't want to win it. A month ago, when I was invited by the organizer as the award presenter, I was actually quite surprised. Because of my own feelings, I was shortlisted for two dramas. Even if I comforted me, I had to comfort me with a trophy, right?"
The colleagues from the audience looked at Xu Rong with a smile on the stage. Their emotions were quite complicated, but they still showed a smile on their face.
"Just as Haiqing said, it's really a pity to stand here today as an award presenter, but not for myself, but for the judges of the Magnolia Award. Because most of my energy will be devoted to dramas and movies in the next few days. There are two TV series that have not been broadcast at the moment. "The Indelible Number" is in post-production and is expected to be released before the New Year. Another drama is not sure when it will start. In the future, I should say goodbye to the TV series industry temporarily. Today, I want to borrow a sentence that the commentator of a certain sports often says to confess to the Magnolia Award's jury."
Xu Rong's face slowly became serious, and his eyes swept across the judges and organizers' seats below the stage, saying, "There are not many opportunities left for you!"
"Hahaha."
Accompanied by the audience's loud laughter, there were thunderous applause.
Haiqing listened to the peers who were applauding vigorously in the audience, and the corners of his mouth were uncontrollably grinning: "Xu Rong, have you noticed that if you don't win the prize, you're more enthusiastic than when you win the prize."
"Maybe, Xu Rong has been suffering for a long time, right?"
"Hahaha."
The applause from the audience surged to the peak. Xu Rong's popularity in recent years is obvious to all inside and outside the industry. Not only did he completely represent the 80s generation, but even 70, 60, or even 50s, he was all beaten up in the three major awards by his high-quality and high-quality works.
Moreover, Xu Rong's words not only sent a signal that he had withdrawn from the competition for this Magnolia Award in advance, but also revealed a more important message that he would not participate in the competition for the TV series awards in the next few years.
It is also very likely that he will not participate in TV series again in the future!
For most film and television workers, especially male actors, it is a blessing from heaven.
As the applause gradually fell, Xu Rong remembered the organizer's explanation and said: "The Magnolia Award is a great honor and recognition for every film and television practitioner. I was fortunate to win the Magnolia Best Actor Award, and today I can be invited as the award presenter. It is the Magnolia Award, and the audience's recognition and recognition of me."
"In our industry, good actors are emerging every year, and many good shows are emerging every year. I have been affirmed and should leave opportunities to more young people."
As Xu Rong said, the camera shook halfway and suddenly stopped, as if the director was hesitating.
The scene and in front of the TV were stunned for a moment about the accident that happened at this time, but then, it seemed that the director had figured it out and the camera cut into the audience, giving the other three actors who were nominated for the Best Actor Award this year.
Li Xuejian, Li Yaoxiang, and Zhang Jiayi.
"Hahaha."
After a moment of silence, a loud laugh broke out. The "young man" that Xu Rong mentioned was really too "young".
Xu Rong also smiled and said, "I hope that every colleague who has won the honor can contribute more and better works to the audience in the future. I also hope that many actors who have not won the honor will be ashamed and brave as me, and strive to do it again next year."
Haiqing took the conversation and said, "Then let's announce the last two final prizes of this year?"
“The Best Actress Award for the 17th Magic City TV Festival is…”
"Wang Luodan, "Du Lala's Promotion Record!"
Wang Luodan was wearing a long skirt, holding her goose neck high, confident and calm, and she also had the capital to be confident. Compared with the other three, her career has just started, but she has already taken too much lead. Perhaps in two or three years, she will become an actress "Xu Rong" and a representative figure of the 1980s generation.
"Yang Mi in "The Palace"!"
Yang Mi smiled sweetly, but looking at Xu Rong on the stage, who was sure that she would not win the prize, she still felt under a lot of pressure.
Because before coming, she did not receive a notice from the organizer asking her to prepare her acceptance speech.
"Deng Cuiwen of "The Legend of the Sea of Righteousness"!"
"Chen Shu in "Iron Pear Blossom"!"
Chen Shu was very complicated at this time. After filming "New Shanghai Bund" five years ago, she quickly forgot about the number one person like Xu Rong.
Since her operation achieved unprecedented success, she has never lacked suitors around her and her career has been going well. However, at this moment, looking at Xu Rong on the stage, the young man who used to be vaguely appeared in front of her.
She is a Chinese dialect actor and knows more than others. Xu Rong's achievements are not only the number one in the film and television field, but also the deputy captain of the Actors Team of the People's Art Theater, deputy director of the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, and visiting professor of Beijing Film Academy. Any of these honors and titles, which are unbearable to put on a 80-person peer.
She was a little puzzled. Why did the young man who had been nervous about speaking in just five or six years, who had reached the height he was today?
However, Xu Rong ignored the thoughts of several shortlisted personnel and then recited: "My Children, My Home" Sarina!"
Sari smiled, like Xu Rong, she had won the Magnolia Award once, but thirteen years have passed, but in comparison, she was much more relaxed.
She looked at Xu Rong on the stage, surprised and felt that he was a veritable "playing madman". It is not difficult to understand what he has achieved today in this industry.
As the trailer on the big screen stopped, Hai Qing's eyes swept across the audience, looked at the four colleagues whose expressions on their faces were gradually losing control, and said slowly: "The one who won the Best Actress of the 17th Magic City TV Festival is Chen Shu in "Iron Pear Blossoms".
Chen Shu didn't seem surprised. He slowly pulled the floor-drag skirt to the stage, shook hands with the two, walked to the microphone, and said, "Today's award is really surprising to me. Thanks to the judges for their recognition of me, awarding such a high honor to me, and thanks to the audience for their love for me. Without you, there would be no today. I would also like to thank my family for supporting me and accompanying me. I also like to thank the director team of "Iron Pear Blossoms" and all the staff. Thank you."
"Okay, thank you Chen Shu, please return to the audience."
When Chen Shu stepped down, Xu Rong walked to the microphone and said, "I wasn't very happy when I heard Chen Shu thank me."
Haiqing couldn't hold back her laughter and asked, "Why?"
Xu Rong pursued Chen Shu’s past in his early years, but it was no longer news. Just like the earth-shaking fall of the crew of "Bright Sword" back then, he and Chen Shu died in vain. Now, if you have something to do, you are all media to use it to make fun of it: I know my aunt is good when I was young.
The topic was raised, and Xu Rong took the initiative to raise it during rehearsal, which was also considered a response to the media's response to Chen Shu.
Xu Rong looked at Chen Shu who had already sat down and said, "Because Chen Shu and I have worked together before!"
"Hahaha."
While the audience burst into laughter, Chen Shu also smiled. She understood that Xu Rong had already seen the young man Mu Ai, just as he could talk about his parents who had abandoned him with a smile.
After a short break, Xu Rong and Haiqing came on stage again and announced another finale award.
"Then the last grand prize today, the Best Actor Award."
"The Best Actor Award for the 17th Magic City TV Festival is shortlisted."
"Father's Love Like a Mountain" Li Xuejian!"
"Before Dawn, Xu Rong, "Snow Leopard"!"
"Li Yaoxiang in "The Legend of the Sea of Righteousness"!"
"Zhang Jiayi in "Borrowing a Gun"!"
"Then, the one who won the Best Actor Award at the 17th Magic City TV Festival is..." Xu Rong looked at Zhang Jiayi in the audience, "Zhang Jiayi in "Borrowing the Gun."
Cao Kefan immediately said: "Let us congratulate young people, the winner of Best Actor, Zhang Jiayi."
"Hahaha."
After Xu Rong delivered the trophy to Zhang Jiayi, Yang Lan said: "I invite our award presenter Xu Rong and Hai Qing to return to the audience."
"Thank you, especially for the audience who likes me and supports me, and thanks even more for..." After a regular cliché, Zhang Jiayi changed his tone and turned his gaze to Xu Rong. "Actually, compared to Xu Rong, I am not young. He is smarter than me, and the suffering he has experienced is richer than me. From this perspective, I should be young. I agree with a sentence he said in the past. When the audience does not think that I am an actor, I may be considered a good actor. I hope that one day, I can become such a good actor."
Xu Rong smiled and understood the root cause of Zhang Jiayi's showing good deeds today.
Because of the preparations for "Beiping", in the eyes of his colleagues from outside, he is no longer a pure actor.
Especially when the entire industry is making "Beiping" amazing, although the casting has not yet begun, it has attracted the attention of the entire industry.
Because in addition to a large number of movie heroes and TV emperors joining, "Beiping" claims to invest 200 million!
It is far better than the "Three Kingdoms" that has been with you almost the whole journey today.
After the final gold medal in the TV series was won by "Before Dawn", Xu Rong realized that something was wrong when he looked at Liu Jiang's expression on the stage.
The organizer of Magnolia is a bit too unkind to do things.
The winners of Best Actor and Actress Zhang Jiayi and Chen Shu are both artists under the organizer Modu Culture Radio and Television Group Co., Ltd. Although they are obviously suspected of favoritism, the quality of their works is still high and they are still reasonable.
But the best director actually fell on Liu Jiang, which is really incredible.
Because he was not given the Best Actor Award, Liu Jiang, as the "newcomer" in spy war and the director of "Before Dawn", lost to Yang Wenjun, the director of "Happy Past of the Old Ma Family", which is also a magical city. It is simply unreasonable.
The Magnolia Award has caused the entire northern crew to be wiped out this time. By tomorrow, I am afraid that it will be attacked by the media from the entire northern system.
Chapter completed!
