After Xiao Yao and his party entered the stadium, the staff waiting on one side led them to their respective seats. The seats of this crew are on the right of the third row, which is not the most popular position, but also very good.
When Xiao Yao and others entered, the red carpet show was not over.
The award ceremony is a more formal occasion. The stars are dressed in formal clothes and it''s not easy to walk around. However, the award ceremony has not started yet, so it''s OK to talk and chat.
Xiao Yao and others are also shortlisted crew members around their seats, including many stars. Even if I don''t see it in private, I always see it on TV. After Xiao Yao and others sat down, they either actively or passively exchanged greetings with the stars in the front and rear rows. Xiao Yao and several other Chinese stars helped to introduce the American members of the drama group next to them, and finally sent each other some blessings for winning the award. The time before the award ceremony was basically over.
Less than eight o''clock, the red carpet show ended, all the guests attending the award ceremony entered, and all the lights on the stage went out, indicating that the award ceremony was about to start.
There are performances at the golden dragon award ceremony. The theme song of Xiao Yao''s band is one of the performances tonight. However, their song is an English song and is not arranged as an opening performance at the beginning, so Xiao Yao and the band members do not need to leave in advance to prepare.
At eight o''clock in the evening, the lights above the auditorium went dark. As we all know, the award ceremony will officially start, and the scene will soon be quiet.
At the beginning of the golden dragon award ceremony, it is customary to broadcast posters of some excellent Chinese films over the years, then broadcast clips of films nominated for this year''s awards, and then the opening performance.
"Welcome to the host of this award ceremony..." At the end of the opening performance, there was a side voice in the live sound.
Everyone in the audience applauded, and then there was a burst of music in the sound. In the sound of music and applause from the audience, two hosts in formal clothes and holding microphones stepped onto the stage from the channel behind the stage. The number of presenters of the award ceremony is not fixed. The year before last, Xiao Yao attended three. It seems that this year, there are only two.
When the two hosts went to the front of the stage, the music stopped and the applause of the audience fell.
"This year is the guest host of brother Zhen," Zhao Rui, who is sitting beside Xiao Yao, gently turns Xiao Yao with his elbow, tilts his head and whispers in a low voice, "don''t you think you can say it? When are you going to be a host at the awards ceremony? "
The two hosts on the stage are stars familiar to the Chinese audience. The hostess is Tong Yishu, who works for CCTV and is a professional hostess. The male host, Xu Zhen, is a well-known actor who once won the film title.
"Being a host is not a guest star!" Xiao Yao whispered back, "brother Zhen has done many jobs, from dubbing actor to resident singer, hosting many parties and award ceremonies. They are omnipotent talents of film, TV, song and hosting! "
"If you are omnipotent, are you omnipotent?" Zhao Rui said, "what kind of career has he done that you haven''t done? No, I guess I haven''t done it as a waiter, but what can''t you do? "
Xu Zhen is in his forties. He is a late actor. He is not really big until he is middle-aged. His early life experience is very rich, which can be said to be rather bumpy. He has done a lot of jobs, is a model of inspiration in the Chinese entertainment industry.
"Besides, didn''t you take the host certificate?" Zhao Rui then said, "if you don''t practice, your certificate is just for fun?"
"It''s just a test to play!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, suddenly shrugged his shoulders and said, "sit down! Here comes the camera! "
Although Xiao Yao is chatting with Zhao Rui, part of his attention is always on the two hosts on the stage, listening to their speeches. Although the two hosts have not mentioned Xiao Yao or Zhao Rui''s name, Xiao Yao knows from their words that he will be called soon, so he immediately reminds Zhao Rui.
After their regular welcome opening remarks, the two hosts began to introduce some of the guests who attended the award ceremony tonight. When introducing a star guest, the main camera of the scene will turn to take pictures of the introduced object in the guest seat, and the large screen behind the stage will also show the image of the star guest synchronously.
Zhao Rui knows that Xiao Yao''s reaction is faster than his own. As soon as he listens to Xiao Yao''s words, he immediately sits upright and puts on a smile on his face.
After introducing several key figures of the film crew and top movie stars who won multiple nominations tonight, the two hosts turned their introductions to young people.
"I just introduced some of the predecessors and mainstays of the Chinese film industry. Now we are going to introduce some outstanding young people in the film industry." Tong Yishu said, looking at Xu Zhen and saying, "brother Zhen, speaking of the outstanding young people in the film industry, who impressed you most?"
"That must be Xiao Yao!" Xu Zhen''s way without thinking.
"Oh ~" in the back row of the auditorium, some ordinary audiences attending the award ceremony gave a burst of cheers.
"Certainly? No hesitation at all Tong Yishu continued to ask with a smile, "now there are many outstanding young people in the film industry. Why do you say it''s him so sure?""It''s a cow Xu Zhen stretched out one hand and bent his fingers in turn, and said, "when I was 18 years old, I wrote, directed and acted in a short film. I won the award abroad. My first feature film won the Best Newcomer Award and the best actor award at the golden dragon award the year before last. The director''s and screenwriter''s animated feature film won the best animated feature film at last year''s Golden Dragon Award. This year''s Golden Dragon Award, he won the Best Newcomer Award I''m in the shortlist again. And this year''s shortlisted film, he not only starred, but also participated in the director, screenwriter, soundtrack and action design. "
"Wow ~"
"Oh ~"
with the introduction of Xu Zhen, the ordinary audience in the back row rang out the cry of surprise and even greater cheers. Even some of the star guests in the front row applauded and cheered.
"There are young people who can act in the Chinese film world, and there are also young people who can do behind the scenes," Xu said, as if summarizing and explaining. "But young people who have good acting skills and do so well behind the scenes can''t find anyone else except him, can they? So when it comes to excellent young filmmakers, the first thing I think of is him! "
"Well, I agree!" Tong Yishu nodded, turned his head to the stage and said, "but last year''s Golden Dragon Award, Xiao Yao didn''t come, I don''t know if he came this year?"
"Here it is! There it is Xu Zhen pointed to Xiao Yao.
The camera followed Xu''s direction. On the big screen, Xiao Yao stood up and bowed to Xu on the stage, then waved to the camera with a smile.
After sitting down again, Xiao Yao reaches out his hands and points to Zhao Rui and others beside him, exaggerating to make a "behind the scenes" mouth. The cameras on the scene also aimed at Zhao Rui and Xu Fei.
"Xiao Yao seems to be reminding you that he is not the only one who can act and act behind the scenes!" Tong Yishu said with a smile to Xu Zhen, "Zhao Rui and Xu Fei around him are also very good young actors, and they are also involved in the screenwriting and action design of the film. In addition, Chen Xiaoting is also one of the screenwriters of the film. "
"All right!" Xu Zhen nodded with a smile, "tonight, we really should put Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting together."
"Why do you say that?" Tong Yishu continued to ask.
"Because the four of them are a team," Xu said. "The movie they are nominated for tonight is about a new extreme sport called Parkour. As far as I know, parkour movement was initiated by their four member team, and all four members of their team participated in the work in front of and behind the scenes of the film at the same time. So, they''re in a group tonight! "
"In this way, I suddenly feel that our young Chinese filmmakers are very powerful." Looking at Tong Yishu, Xu Zhen said, "you can not only film, but also invent a new extreme sport that is popular all over the world. I am proud to have such young compatriots and colleagues With that, Xu Zhen also gave a thumbs up to Xiao Yao and others.
There was a lot of applause and cheers. All four of Xiao Yao stood up and bowed to all directions of the audience.
"All right!" When Xiao Yao sat down and the applause stopped, Xu said, "there are only a few young people who are good at acting and behind the scenes. Let''s introduce some outstanding young actors. There are five best new actors this year. They are Wen Li. Where is Wen Li? "
The scene of the big screen cut to the young actor named Wenli, Xiao Yao and others just relaxed a little.
After introducing the guests, the next step is the awarding process.
Among all kinds of film awards, the best actor, the best actress, the best director and the best film are usually the four heavyweights. The four most important awards are usually put at the end. Due to the fame of the candidates, the awards of best male and female partner, best new actor and best new director are usually more concerned than the awards of technology. However, it is impossible for the award ceremony to gather all the awards of high concern together, so the order of awarding these awards and the awards of technology is staggered.
At the award ceremony the year before last, the first award was the best new actor, and so is this year. However, this year''s award, Xiao Yao''s crew has no nomination, which has nothing to do with them.
After the first award was awarded, there was no performance in the middle, and then came the second award tonight. The second prize tonight is the best action design in the technical category. Xiao Yao and his film have been nominated for this award. It''s related to them. Naturally, some people are nervous.
As soon as the names of the two awarding guests who presented the best action design were read out by the host, Xu Fei quietly pulled Zhao Rui''s arm and asked in a nervous whisper, "are they two awarding? Are we out of business?"
Most of the awarding guests are a combination of a man and a woman. Tonight''s Golden Dragon Award for best action design is presented not only by a man and a woman, but also by a person in front of and behind the scenes.
The male award winner is Zhou nianan, in his 40s. He was once a member of the Zhou family class of the martial arts team of Zhou Hu, an internationally renowned Hong Kong island martial arts superstar. Now he is a senior martial arts director and action director in the industry. He has also made action movies as a director.The female award winner is Tian Xinhui, an actor. Tian Xinhui was originally a professional taekwondo athlete, but also won the formal competition champion. After retiring, he turned to be an actor. His main role is to play a play, and he is basically an action actor. She has been an actress for nearly ten years, and is one of the most famous "hit girls" in Chinese film circles.
Both of the two award winners are famous for shooting "fighting", while Xiao Yao''s "Parkour boy" is characterized by "running", and the real fighting scenes are very few, which is the least element of "fighting" in the five shortlisted films. This is also the reason why Xu Fei was not confident when he heard that they were the two award winners.
"Calm down!" Zhao Rui said with a smile, "don''t you say that nomination is victory, it doesn''t matter whether you win or not?"
"It doesn''t matter if you say that!" Xu Fei way, "come all come, who don''t want to win a prize?"
"I want to win the prize, but it''s not up to us!" Zhao Rui comforted him, "what''s more, they are famous for making movies. But how many people are really famous for making action movies like sports? Are they not all famous for making movies? Who do you think is right to give us the award? Don''t just listen to a name and have no confidence! "
On the stage, after two prize awarding guests said hello to the audience, introduced themselves and exchanged greetings with each other, Tian Xinhui asked Zhou nianan with a smile, "director Zhou, I am now labeled as an action actor by the audience, and some people call me a spaniel. So I would like to ask if a female actor is a spaniel?"
"Of course not!" Zhou nianan shook his head with a smile and said, "action drama includes fighting drama, but it''s definitely not only fighting drama. For example, running, chasing, even jumping from a building, jumping from a car, which can be classified as stunts, are all action scenes... "
"There''s a play!" Xu Fei said happily.
"However," Zhou nianan continued, "among all the action plays, I think playing is the most difficult. Because he not only requires beautiful and difficult movements, but also requires the cooperation between the actors in the opponent''s play, so as to shoot well. That''s why I think you''re called a Spaniard. In fact, you''re a very good action actor
"Ah ~" Xu Fei sighed with disappointment.
"Expression management!" Zhao Rui warned in a low voice.
"Well!" Xu Fei immediately corrected his face.
"Thank you, director!" Tian Xinhui on the stage said with a smile, "I feel very happy when you say that."
"Well, now that you''re happy, we won''t waste any time. Let''s give awards!" Zhou nianan said with a smile.
"The shortlist of the 55th Golden Dragon Award for best action design is, please look at the big screen!" Tian Xinhui finished reading the envelope cover on his hand and looked back at the big screen behind him with Zhou nianan.
The big screen showed the characteristic action clips of five shortlisted films in turn, and the name of the action design director was marked at the bottom, and there were bursts of applause at the scene.
After the clips of the five shortlisted films were broadcast, Zhou nianan took the envelope from Tian Xinhui, opened it, and read seriously: "the winner of the best action design award of the 55th Golden Dragon Award is..."
Read here, Zhou nianan stopped, handed the envelope to Tian Xinhui, motioned for her to read.
Tian Xinhui took a look at the envelope, then continued with a smile: "although there are not many fighting scenes in this movie, I know that at least one person in this movie is very, very capable of fighting! The winners are Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and Kevin Scott
When Tian Xinhui said that there were not many fighting scenes, Xu Fei clenched his fists excitedly. When Tian Xinhui read out the name of the movie, there was a round of applause under the stage. Xu Fei also happily patted Zhao Rui''s shoulder and hugged him.
"Congratulations to you four! Please come on stage to receive the prize Tong Yishu, the host standing on one side of the stage, said.
