King of Rolls' China Entertainment Tour

Chapter 306 The Eighth Magnolia Tour

Yu Hao said helplessly: "Okay, I'll take people to participate, but I don't know if I can gain anything."

After all, I had criticized those film and television people so much before. If these people didn't have any ideas in their hearts, then they definitely shouldn't.

But now that I have decided to participate, I have to prepare.

Afterwards, he called Zhang Tong and others, and then called Sun Cheng, Zhou Ying and others, planning to go together.

Zhou Ying said helplessly: "Mr. Yu, our editing work is about to begin, we can't delay it."

Yu Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let everyone rest for a few days and give everyone a holiday. Get ready and come with me."

Time flies to the night of October 2000, 10.

In a hotel in Shanghai, Sun Cheng said with a smile: "Director Yu, we are several days late. We can only catch up with the final awards ceremony. I don't know why a TV festival is so high-end."

Yu Hao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. Let's prepare and join together tomorrow. Let's all gather our spirits."

The next day, Yu Hao wore a crisp suit and tidied himself up extremely cleanly. Zhang Tong walked into the venue holding Yu Hao's arm.

After stepping onto the red carpet, Zhang Tong was dressed in a white dress, with light makeup on her face and flaming red lips, which made people very excited.

They stepped onto the red carpet and walked not far before they were stopped by reporters.

Seeing the beautiful and dazzling two people, the reporters were stunned for a moment, then picked up their cameras and started taking pictures.

In other words, the most concerned person is Yu Hao himself.

A reporter came up and asked: "Director Yu, why did you come to participate in the Magnolia Award?"

Everyone looked curious. For a director of Yu Hao's stature, participating in the TV Awards was really a bit awkward.

Yu Hao smiled and said: "I'm not a big shot now, so why don't I come to participate in this top domestic TV award?"

The reporters were disappointed for a moment. What a great topic. They had already thought of the title: Shock! International director Yu Hao looks down on the Magnolia Award! ! Is he arrogant or has real ability? ! !

Another reporter asked: "Director Yu, several of your TV series last year were hits. Why did you only bring Zhang Tong this time?"

Yu Hao shrugged and said with a smile: "Because the organizer only informed me that "Winter Sonata" was shortlisted."

The reporter then asked: "Director Yu, your "Winter Sonata" has broken many ratings records and created a tourism legend in the three northeastern provinces. Are you confident about winning the award this time?"

Yu Hao thought for a while and said: "But do good deeds and don't worry about the future. I will show my best work to the audience. As long as the audience thinks it looks good, then I will be satisfied. It would be great if I can win an award."

Looking at Yu Hao in front of them, everyone sighed. In just over a year, Yu Hao has transformed from a domestic TV drama director to a major international film director.

A reporter asked: "Director Yu, I heard that your new movie cost 40 million US dollars. Is this true or false?"

Many reporters' eyes lit up when they heard this. This is definitely a good entry point.

Yu Hao shook his head and smiled: "Indeed, our company, China Film and Warner invested together."

When the reporters heard this, they immediately became energetic, but considering the time issue, they asked Zhang Tong the question:

"Zhang Tong, I heard that you were shortlisted for Best Actress this time. "Winter Sonata" is so popular, are you confident that you can win the grand prize?"

Zhang Tong said generously: "I don't think any actress doesn't care about the honor of being a queen, but I think I'm still young. Even if I don't get it this time, I will have the opportunity in the future."

…………

After entering the party venue, staff will take them to the second row. The first row is usually for leaders and award-giving personnel.

In the second row, Yu Hao saw a lot of crew members, but nothing familiar. However, when everyone saw Yu Hao, they greeted him warmly.

Almost half an hour later, the award ceremony officially began.

After the opening remarks, after the documentary awards were awarded, today's main course - the TV series awards - started.

The first thing the host started to award was the special award.

Zhang Tong asked doubtfully: "Director Yu, Magnolia is very different from other TV awards."

Yu Hao nodded and said: "Generally speaking, the technology award is awarded first, the art award is second, and finally, if there is an achievement award, there will be an achievement award. Magnolia is indeed different."

Zhang Tong said thoughtfully: "That's it."

Then the host shouted: "The next thing to be awarded is the technology award. The works shortlisted for the 8th Best Technology Award are - Railway Children..."

Another host protracted and praised: "The winner of the 8th TV Magnolia Award for Best Editing is - "Railway Children"."

Subsequently, relevant clips about "Railway Children" appeared on the big screen.

Seeing this, Yu Hao raised his eyebrows. This turned out to be a foreign TV series.

Then the Best Actress Award began to be awarded. Yu Hao saw Zhang Tong was very nervous. Yu Hao smiled and said: "Your performance in the TV series is not bad, and you have a high chance of winning."

Zhang Tong said somewhat unconfidently: "But the other shortlisted works are not bad either."

While the two were chatting, they heard the award presenter shouting: "The winner of the 8th Best Actress Award is..."

Then, under the expectant eyes of everyone in the audience, he whispered something playfully, and then said: "Yes -, if not, you can tell me."

After saying that, he handed the card to another person. Seeing this scene, many people in the audience were anxious, and Yu Hao even wanted to rush up and beat Ya.

Another old lady took one look and said with a smile: "The winner of the 8th Magnolia Award for Best Actress is Zhang Tong in "Winter Love Song". Let us welcome Zhang Tong to the stage with warm applause to receive the award."

Hearing the words Zhang Tong, everyone in the audience nodded secretly, without much surprise in their hearts.

Although the Magnolia Awards are somewhat different from the Golden Eagle Awards in that they are about art, but the TV series "Winter Sonata" has good ratings, so is the art bad?

Not to mention the shortlisted directors, even those big directors who have been famous for a long time can't be much better than Yu Hao.

When Yu Hao heard Zhang Tong's name, he was stunned for a moment, and then said to Zhang Tong: "Why are you so stunned? Why don't you go up to receive the award?"

Before Zhang Tong could react, he stood up in a daze and said, "Director Yu, did I really win the award? Didn't I hallucinate?"

Yu Hao chuckled: "No, you did win the award."

Zhang Tong breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw this, then bit his lip and said shyly: "Mr. Yu, can I give you a hug?"

Seeing her expectant look, Yu Hao stretched out his arms and hugged Zhang Tong tightly.

However, many people at the scene were excited, and some even blew civilized whistles excitedly.

Suddenly, applause, whistles, cheers, and music played a perfect and beautiful movement.

Afterwards, Zhang Tong walked up to Zhou Ying and shook hands with others one by one, and then walked up to the stage with elegant steps to receive the award. After Zhang Tong took the stage, looking at the trophy and certificate so close at hand, he was still a little unbelievable that he had also won the award.

He humbly took the trophy and certificate from the award-presenting guest, put the two things in front of the microphone, and tidied his clothes.

Then he covered his chest with one hand and put his other hand on his waist, and bowed solemnly to the audience.

Then he said: "Thank you everyone, it's my first time standing on this stage, I..."

It seemed that Zhang Tong was at a loss for words for a moment because he was too excited.

Seeing this, Yu Hao took the lead in applauding, and then others started to applaud as well.

After hearing the encouragement from the applause, Zhang Tong said in a choked voice: "Thank you everyone. Here, I want to thank all the viewers who like "Winter Sonata". Thank you.

Thank you to all the people behind the scenes of "Winter Sonata". Thank you. I know there are many things I did not do well enough. You wasted a lot of time because of me.

I am very happy to have spent two or three months with you all. Thank you for your infinite tolerance for me. Thank you. Thank you to my alma mater - China National Drama.

Thank you to my parents for your support and encouragement. Countless nights, I would tell my mother what happened during the shooting. You gave me great encouragement. Thank you,

Finally, I would like to thank one person in particular - that is director Yu Hao. The main reason why I won the award is because of Director Yu's serious request, so that everyone can see an excellent TV series.

Director Yu has very strict requirements for everyone on the set, and he is no exception. Just like when he fell out of a helicopter to shoot that scene, just to capture the beauty of that moment,

When I first started filming, I was still a little resentful. After all, I was just a TV actor, and this drama was also an idol drama. But after the filming was completed and it started airing, I understood his original intention.

Because of him, he changed all the bad habits I had developed in the past, reshaped my entire life, and reshaped my belief in being an actor. Director Yu, thank you, thank you all. "

After saying that, I couldn't hold back the tears of excitement, and finally I covered my face and cried, but the expression on my face was very happy.

Everyone in the audience had expressions of emotion on their faces, but they did not stop moving their hands and gave warm applause.

After Zhang Tong stepped down from the stage, he gave the trophy to Yu Hao, and then said with a smile: "Director Yu, I have not betrayed your trust."

Yu Hao returned the trophy to her and said with a smile: "No need to be modest, it's all your own efforts."

While the two were chatting, the Best Actor and Best Screenplay awards were presented, and then the host shouted: "Next we are going to award the Best Director and Best Screenplay awards.

Let’s take a look at the nominees for Best Director first – Daniel Alfredson’s “Death Call”, Yu Hao’s “Winter Sonata”…”

Hearing Yu Hao's name, Zhang Tong almost jumped up with excitement, even happier than she was when she won the award.

Yu Hao was confused and confused that he could be shortlisted for this award. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be.

Could it be that these people have such big hearts?

Zhang Tong nervously grabbed Yu Hao's hand, looking forward to whether Yu Hao would win the award next.

Feeling the sweat on her palms, Yu Hao couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't be nervous, we can just run with you. I guess the probability of winning is not high, and I don't have much expectations."

The faces of the people around Yu Hao were also a little nervous. Although everyone had already started to enter Hollywood, who didn’t want to get more awards?

Then, I heard the award presenter holding a card and saying with a smile: "The winner of the 8th Magnolia TV Best Director Award is——Yu Hao for "Winter Sonata"."

On Yu Hao's side, Zhang Tong jumped up after hearing that Yu Hao had won the award.

He shook Yu Hao's shoulders excitedly with both hands, and shouted with excitement: "Director Yu, you won the award, you won the award."

Yu Hao also recovered from his daze. He didn't expect that he would win the award. He thought that the dust had settled. Who would have thought that there would be a reversal, which was somewhat beyond his expectation.

Seeing Zhang Tong like this, Yu Hao stood up and hugged her, then whispered in her ear: "Don't be so excited next time, pay attention to the impact."

Zhang Tong said after realizing it: "I know, I won't do it anymore. Today it's mainly you who won the award. I'm so excited."

Yu Hao scraped her nose affectionately and said, "You should also pay attention to that."

After Yu Hao and Dou Daxian shook hands and hugged each other, they slowly walked onto the stage amidst warm applause.

Zhang Tong's heart was beating wildly, and Yu Hao scratched her nose.

After Yu Hao came on stage, he saw the award-winning guest saying with a smile:

"Director Yu should be the youngest winner of the Magnolia Award for Best Director since our Magnolia Awards were held. Let us once again invite him to give his acceptance speech with warm applause."

Then, the audience burst into thunderous applause again, and Yu Hao also recovered from his previous doubts.

He came to the microphone, straightened his clothes, bowed, and then said, "I'm sorry, it's my first time to receive this award. I was so excited that I didn't react."

During Yu Hao's self-mockery, good-natured laughter also sounded from the audience.

Yu Hao said with a serious face: "Thank you to the judges and teachers for awarding this award to me. To be honest, I am a little surprised. Whether it is the depth or breadth of the TV series, many works are better than mine.

"Winter Sonata" is the best one among my several TV series. Whether it is art or content, I am very happy to win the award. This means that I have made progress.

On behalf of all our crew, I am here to thank all the judges and teachers, thank you all. "

Hearing Yu Hao's words, everyone smiled with satisfaction.

Yu Hao's "Winter Sonata" can win the award, and they understand it somewhat.

Yu Hao's current achievements alone can make all award ceremonies in the country kneel down. After all, people do have such achievements.

Besides, this TV series is very good in all aspects. It can sell 1.6 million yuan. It is not unreasonable to popularize tourism in the three eastern provinces in East Asia.

Coupled with the huge ratings, if Yu Hao doesn't win this award, or if the award organizer doesn't award this award to Yu Hao, their peers will think there's something wrong, let alone the audience.

At this moment, an award-giving guest on the stage smiled and said: "Director Yu, as a leader of Chinese directors, I think you are too humble. Your strength is obvious to all.

Everyone can see your achievements today, not to mention your efforts for the TV series, which is worth learning from everyone. "

Yu Hao shook his head and smiled: "That's just good luck. I don't recommend that you study. If something happens, you can come to my house for dinner."

Everyone laughed.

The presenting guest smiled and said: "Director Yu, as the youngest winner of the Magnolia Award for Best Director, what do you want to say to everyone?"

Yu Hao thought for a while and said: "As a newcomer, you shouldn't say this, but since you said it, I will tell you what I think.

TV dramas, even idol dramas, can be produced like "Winter Sonata". Any subject matter is worthy of everyone's exploration. I believe the result will not disappoint everyone.

I won’t go into those clichés. I’ll talk about something that you may not care about, which is the audience’s expectations. Now is no longer the time to be forced to accept a certain drama. Everyone should work hard in this aspect.

Thank you to my alma mater, Nortel, for training me. Thank you to all the crew. It is the concerted efforts of everyone that led to my achievements. Finally, thank you to my parents, thank you for your support, thank you. "

Many people in the audience were thoughtful. As film and television people, they all understood what Yu Hao meant. Perhaps it was time for them to step out of their comfort zone.
