Entertaining Children

   Chapter 936 Two Newcomers Only One

  The film "127 Hours" is about Zhan Youcheng's experience during the earthquake in Wuyou County the previous year. Although it is based on the earthquake, it also involves some plots and scenes of earthquake search and rescue, but on the whole, this film is not a disaster film, but a biographical film about personal experiences.

What kind of experience is it like being buried in the ground for more than five days? Deep in the Jedi, what kind of experience is it to face death threats in despair? From this movie, the audience has a deep feeling.

The basement called the sky should not be called the ground is a hurdle in Zhan Youcheng's life. Not everyone will have this extremely unlucky experience, but in the road of life, everyone will encounter various setbacks. There are various hurdles in life. How to face it, many people have gained different degrees of insights from this movie and from Zhan Youcheng's experience.

For example, a certain viewer said in a comment under this movie on Tudou that after watching this movie, 99% of people can see hope in despair and find a living from despair. reason.

  This is a very motivating movie that brings people hope and courage and other positive energy. In this respect, it can be used well, but Xiao Yao is not a person who likes to preach and sensationalize. After saying "I am fortunate to let more and more people know about Mr. Zhan Youcheng's deeds", Xiao Yao ended his acceptance speech and left the stage with the trophy.

  After the best rookie actor was awarded, two technical awards were awarded for the best costume and the best special effects. On these two items, "127 Hours" is not shortlisted, and it has nothing to do with the crew.

  In many award ceremonies, singing and dancing shows are indispensable. Although the "Golden Dragon Award" is a film award, there are many singing and dancing performances at the award ceremony, not just the one at the opening. After three awards were awarded, the host did not continue to announce the name of the next award and invite the award-giving guests, but introduced the name of the next performance and the performing singer.

  This performance has nothing to do with the crew of "127 Hours", but it has something to do with Xiao Yao.

  "Unfortunately, the "Golden Dragon Award" only has the best soundtrack award, and there is no best theme song award. Otherwise, you should at least get one more nomination." Looking at the performers on the stage, Ye Jiaying whispered to Xiao Yao.

  Ye Jiaying said this because the singer who is performing on the stage at the moment is A Zi, and the song that A Zi is singing now is the song "Say and Disperse" written by Xiao Yao and Xiao Yao for her.

  Speaking of the theme songs of all the movies released last year, the one with the highest quality is not necessarily the one, but the most popular and well-known one is definitely the song "Say Disperse" written by Xiao Yao for Azi. During the film's release at the end of last year, this song almost became popular throughout the Internet. Even viewers who have not watched the movie did not know the song.

  This song will be so popular, in fact, it is also the result of the interaction between the song itself and the movie.

  First of all, a lot of effort was put into publicity before the movie was released. The trailer with this song as the background music has been shown many times on the big screens of China’s major video websites and even some TV stations and landmark squares in certain cities.

  Secondly, after the movie was released, several popular video clips related to the audience of the movie appeared on several well-known video websites and video-type mobile phone applications in China.

  These video clips are of an ordinary person sitting in a theater seat or crying and crying on the road. The title and introduction of the video say that the reason why the protagonist in the picture is so gaffe is because the movie "Old Love and New Love" reminds those audiences of their past love experiences and ex, so they do it after watching the movie. Gaffe.

  Whether this is a propaganda strategy planned by the propaganda of the film behind the scenes, or some viewers really have these behaviors after watching the film, anyway, these short videos have successfully attracted the attention of netizens. These short video clips have gone viral, and movies have also gone viral, and the box office has made a lot of money.

  In these popular video clips, the pictures are the pictures of ordinary viewers crying bitterly, and the background music uses the passages from the song "See You or Leave". So in addition to the popular movie box office, this song is also even more popular with the help of these video clips.

  The quality of this song is not bad, and it is so popular on the Internet. If the "Golden Dragon Award" has an award for the best theme song, it shouldn't be a problem to get at least one nomination.

   "Even if there is an award for the best theme song, it is a singer who is nominated and accepted on stage, right?" Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head.

"Yes," Ye Jiaying nodded slightly, and then continued, "Speaking of which, you wrote such a good movie theme song for someone else, but you didn't write a song for our own movie. This time you are your number one. Acting in a movie for the first time, and for the first time to act as a protagonist, I did not force you, but in my next movie, you can’t stand idly by. I will leave it all to you for the theme song, preferably yourself. Come sing. The "Golden Dragon Award" does not have the best theme song, but there are many other awards for the best movie song or the best theme song."

  Before the filming of the film started, Ye Jiaying once proposed to let Xiao Yao participate in the script creation, but Xiao Yao did not agree. Xiao Yao also directly told Ye Jiaying the reason at the time, that is, this was the first film directed by Ye Jiaying, and Xiao Yao had been a director and made a short film. He did not want to be regarded as the two of them after the film was made. A common work, so not only the writing of the script in the early stage, but also the editing, the soundtrack, and the ending song of the theme song are not involved.

  Although Ye Jiaying found Xiao Yao's idea very awkward, she did not force Xiao Yao. Now Ye Jiaying has been nominated for the best director’s debut, regardless of whether she wins the final award or not, it is equivalent to gaining professional recognition in the new identity of director. In future movies, no one should think she is reliable anymore. The help of others is a joint work with others.

   "No problem," Xiao Yao immediately agreed, "Whether it's acting or writing songs, as long as time permits, I am sure I have nothing to say."

"It doesn't take you too much time and energy to write songs, but if you can act?" Ye Jiaying smiled, "You have become a director yourself. Will you have time to play my movies in the future? I'm afraid you won't be able to invite you. Right?"

"No," Xiao Yao said. "Learning to be a director is just hobby. I have no plans to be a director and not an actor in the future, nor do I plan to direct and act in every future film, or I will play other directors' plays. , As long as the director’s ability is strong enough and the script is good enough. Of course I recognize your director ability, so as long as you find a good script, I am definitely willing to act."

"Okay, that's what you said." Ye Jiaying smiled, then continued, "But you don't have to worry about me looking for you to film recently. Even if I transform, I am not a prolific director, and the filming of this film is finished. After that, I found that I still had a lot to learn. The next film will not be prepared until a few years later."

  The two talked here, and Ah Zi on the stage just finished the performance and bowed to the curtain call. The two also ended the topic and gave Azi a round of applause.

  After Azi’s performance, the next award given is a genre film award, the best opera film award. This type of film is unique to China, and this award is also unique to the "Golden Dragon Award". Of course, this award has nothing to do with Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying.

After   Best Chinese Opera, two more technical awards were awarded, and then the award for best directorial debut related to Ye Jiaying. When the host announced the next award of this award, Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying unconsciously sat upright.

  The award-giving guests of this award are also composed of a male and a female. The male is named Xing Wenbin and the female is named Yue Hong, both of whom are senior directors in the Chinese film industry. After the two award-presenting guests came on stage, they also briefly talked a few words, and then directed the audience to the list of nominations broadcast on the big screen.

  There are a total of six works nominated for the best director debut, which means that there are six directors competing for the best new director award, which is even more fierce than Xiao Yao's best new actor competition.

  Although Ye Jiaying has taken the post-camera and film post, has experienced many awards ceremonies, and has seen many big scenes, it is the first time to participate in the award competition as a director. For the first time in life, the meaning is always somewhat different, and some tension is inevitable.

  When the movie clips of the nominees started to be played on the big screen, Xiao Yao obviously felt the tension of Ye Jiaying beside him, so he stretched out his left hand calmly and held her right hand on her knees.

  Ye Jiaying felt that her right hand was suddenly being held by someone. She lowered her head and glanced, then turned her head to look at Xiao Yao beside her. Xiao Yao smiled and looked at Ye Jiaying at this time. It seemed that she had gained strength from Xiao Yao's movements and eyes. When Ye Jiaying turned her head back, her whole body relaxed a lot, and her smile became a lot more natural.

After the nomination list was played on the big screen, Yue Hong, who was holding the envelope, opened the envelope, pulled out the card inside, and slightly lowered his head and said into the microphone: "The Fifty-third Golden Dragon Award for Best Director Debut The winner of the award is..."

   Xiao Yao obviously felt that Ye Jiaying's hand holding her had increased some strength, and also added some strength to hold it back.

  At this time, pictures of six nominated directors were also cut out on the big screen. However, since one of them did not come to the scene tonight, he replaced it with his photo. Judging from the expressions of the five nominees sitting in the audience, Ye Jiaying's expressions still seemed relatively natural, and she could not see that she and Xiao Yao's hands were "competing" in places that the camera couldn't take.

   ""127 Hours", Ye Jiaying!" Yue Hong did not put the card between the two of them like the previous award-giving guests, but directly announced loudly.

   "Congratulations to Ye Jiaying!" Xing Wenbin said with a smile.

   "YES!" Xiao Yao pulled Ye Jiaying to her feet and cheered happily.

  The nominated star guests are all sitting in the front row of the audience, not far from the stage. On the stage, Yue Hong looked at Xiao Yao who was excited in the audience, and couldn't help but laugh and joked: "Ye Jiaying won the prize. I think Xiao Yao seems happier than he won the prize himself!"

   "It's not like," Xing Wenbin continued with a smile, "Xiao Yao has already won the prize just now! He is indeed more excited than when he won the prize just now!"

"However, Jiaying was happier when Xiao Yao won the prize just now than when she won the prize by herself. They are a family, this is normal too!" Yue Hong continued with a smile, "A pair of mother and child are in the same session." "Golden Dragon Award" together to win awards, this is a rare sight, very rare!"

"What's more rare is that these two took the best newcomers, one is the best newcomer director, and the other is the best newcomer actor," Xing Wenbin said with a smile, "Don't talk about China, this is in the world. On the altar, I am afraid they are all unique."

  When the two award-giving guests went from ridicule to emotion on the stage, Ye Jiaying in the audience also completed the embrace and interaction with Xiao Yao and other people in the crew, and stepped onto the stage.

  The two award-giving guests saw that Ye Jiaying had already taken the stage, and stopped feeling emotional, and walked forward to hug and shook hands with Ye Jiaying. After Ye Jiaying hugged Yue Hong, Xing Wenbin took the trophy from the tray held by the lady of etiquette behind him and handed it to Ye Jiaying, and then took a step back with Yue Hong.

   Holding the golden dragon on the trophy with one hand, Ye Jiaying, who stood in front of the microphone with the trophy base in the other, looked a little agitated. When she spoke, her voice trembled and her eyes were a little red. However, after experiencing many big scenes, Ye Jiaying has not been excited to the point of incoherent speech. When she said the acceptance speech, her organization and utterance were still very clear.

Ye Jiaying’s acceptance speech is not too special, the most is thanks to the judges, the organizer, the crew, the fans and the audience, and the family. Finally, he expresses some thoughts and thoughts about the transition to becoming a director, and Said that he would continue to learn on this path of the director, and would continue to stick to it.

  In the applause of the audience, Ye Jiaying, who had finished speaking about the award, left the stage, and the host began to introduce the next award and the award-giving guests.

The movie "127 Hours" won a total of five nominations at this year's "Golden Dragon Awards". In addition to Xiao Yao's best new actor, best actor and Ye Jiaying's best directorial debut, the other two nominations were the best Adapted screenplay and best editing. However, judging from the analysis and prediction articles published by some media and experts before, among the five nominations, only the two newcomer nominations of Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying have the chance to win prizes. The other three nominations are basically fate of escort.

  Facts also proved the accuracy of these analysis and prediction articles.

  The following awards were awarded one after another, and the crew of "127 Hours" did not receive any awards. The screenwriter of this film failed to get the best adapted screenplay, and the editor also missed the award for best editing. Xiao Yao, who was in his early twenties, was nominated for the actor as a miracle in the eyes of some people, and winning the prize was a miracle among miracles. The miracle in this miracle did not happen. The winner of this "Golden Dragon Award" was finally taken into the bag by a middle-aged opera bone in his forties.

Judging from the performance in the movie by the actor who got the actor, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao were convinced that he took the actor, so when the results were announced, the two who had been mentally prepared did not be too disappointed. They all stood up heartily and applauded the actor.

  The actor and actress are among the four most watched awards, and they are generally arranged at a later time. In these two awards, the film is generally awarded first and then the actor, and the awards behind the actor are the best director and best film with the heaviest weight.

  "127 Hours" did not get nominations for Best Director and Best Picture, the last two awards had nothing to do with them, so they spent the final period of the awards ceremony in a completely relaxed mood.
