Huayu's rise from top star to best actor

Chapter 626: Even the nominations have to be pretentious

The nominee recognition ceremony is actually a small award ceremony, but it is not as grand and solemn as the formal award ceremony.

There was a red carpet, but it wasn't very grand either.

At the recognition ceremony, each award nominee will receive a crystal cup and certificate.

In this regard, the Golden Rooster Awards is generous. Other awards in the mainland usually do not prepare so many things.

The Golden Horse Awards also give out certificates, but no trophies. Today, the Golden Horse Awards have become completely unpopular and are not as effective as the Hong Kong Film Awards in blessing actors.

The awards will be presented one by one and are expected to end around 10:30 pm.

Ni Ni ate her fruit plate and looked at Xu Yien and said, "Have you thought about your speech?"

"Isn't this something that comes out of your mouth?"

"That's easy to say, but sometimes I get so nervous that I can easily slip up."

"Are you talking about Brother Long?" Xu Yien pointed at Zhu Yilong.

"Hmm? Me?" Zhu Yilong pointed at himself.

"Yeah, be careful not to make a slip of the tongue later."

"Probably not."

Ni Ni's eyes were filled with scrutiny and teasing, and she chuckled as she said, "Yilong really needs to be careful with his words. After all, you're too nervous right now."

"How do you know that?"

"You're biting your fingers, clenching your fists, and your expression is very nervous. Isn't it obvious at a glance?"

Allen Chu smiled and said a little embarrassedly: “Oh oh oh, I’m used to it.”

That's what real tension is.

The false nervousness and surprise are just like Reba at the Golden Eagle Awards. Why is she always the one who gets whipped? Because Xu Yien loves Reba deeply.

"Hey, Mr. Miao, do you know what's written in the nomination certificate?" Xu Yien asked curiously.

"How should I know? I've never won a Golden Rooster."

Seeing that she was also confused, Xu Yien turned to look at Zhu Yilong.

Zhu Yilong quickly shook his head: "Don't look at me, I haven't taken it either. Don't be curious, you will know later. Once you get it, you can see it, right?"

Xu Yien laughed, "Okay."

After saying that, he picked up the fork and started eating the fruit plate. This portion was for Zhu Yilong, and he gave his portion to Ni Ni.

Xu Yien jokingly complained: "It doesn't feel sweet."

Ni Ni said, "It's probably not in season. It's okay if it's not sweet. The sugar content isn't that high. I'm a little hungry."

Xu Yien said: "Let's go eat hot pot after the event, just bear with it."

Zhu Yilong glanced at the fruit plate, swallowed slightly, unscrewed the mineral water bottle and took a sip.

The mineral water for the Golden Rooster Awards all had their labels torn off. I don’t know what brand it was. Maybe they were just a random batch of mineral water. After all, if the labels were not torn off, the organizer would still have to make some sponsorship fees.

Not feeling satisfied with just drinking mineral water, Zhu Yilong waved to his assistant to come over, took the thermos and started drinking.

The warm tea in the thermos is more flavorful than mineral water.

Zhu Yawen would often come over to chat, and even if they were not familiar with each other, they would become familiar with each other over time.

This time he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor for "Changjin Lake", which can be regarded as a new addition to his resume. After all, he is the actor who allowed Li Xian to play the second role, and he is doing well in the film industry.

Time passes like this bit by bit.

Finally, the nominations and commendations for Best Actress have come to an end.

Compared to the awkward situation where only Xu Yien and Zhu Yilong were present for the Best Actor award, all five nominees for Best Actress were present.

Standing on the stage, they shared their nomination speeches one by one, and received warm applause from the audience.

After the Best Actress award ceremony, it was time for the Best Actor award.

Solemn music sounded, and the announcer introduced the five nominees, who finally went on stage to receive their awards.

All five female protagonists are here, and the only male protagonists are Zhu Yilong and Xu Yien.

"Please invite the nominated teachers to come to the stage."

Xu Yien and Zhu Yilong stood up, hugged each other gently, and then went on stage together.

The award presenter took the trophy and certificate from the etiquette lady and presented them to Xu Yien and Zhu Yilong.

After receiving this heavy honor, the two took a group photo with the award presenters.

After the award presenter left the stage, the host cue Zhu Yilong to give his acceptance speech first.

Zhu Yilong held the microphone he received from the etiquette lady and was not surprisingly nervous. "That... is... thank you very much!"

The host laughed and said, "You really get nervous easily. Take it easy and think about it."

"No one compares to you, so don't be nervous."

Zhu Yilong paused, then smiled and said, "Thank you to the Film Association, thank you to all the judges, uh, thank you to everyone who likes life events, and then..."

He is the kind of person who gets nervous and stutters easily on stage. Xu Yien is right.

"Thank you to Lianrui, thank you to producer Han Yan, and thank you to director Liu Jiangjiang." After thanking a large number of partners, he said sincerely: "I still have a long way to go, I will take it slowly, thank you all."

After bowing, he handed the microphone to Xu Yien.

Xu Yien was in no hurry to speak because the host was still cueing Zhu Yilong's nervousness.

After the host called her, Xu Yien spoke about her feelings: "Hello everyone, I am actor Xu Yien. I would like to thank the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the China Film Association and all the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards for giving me this honor.

I would also like to thank all the staff and senior actors of "Sniper". Finally, I would like to thank Director Zhang Yimou and Director Zhang Mo for their help in the film and beyond. I will continue to work hard. Thank you all."

After the award ceremony, Xu Yien and Zhu Yilong left the stage together. The first thing they did when they returned to their seats was

Open it openly and see what is written in the certificate.

This certificate is quite large and looks very important.

The first page mainly consists of four lines of text.

Xu Yien:

He was nominated for the Best Actor at the 35th China Film Golden Rooster Awards for his artistic creation of playing Liu Wenwu in the feature film "Sniper".

This certificate is specially issued as an encouragement.

There are two official seals at the bottom, and the second side is the seal of the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards Selection Committee.

I finally saw it. If I had known this earlier, I would have looked at Coconut’s Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress certificate, otherwise I wouldn’t be so curious.

Getting my own certificate feels even more different, and I feel a little proud.

"Congratulations." Ni Ni clasped her fists exaggeratedly.

Xu Yien also returned the gift, "Let's have fun together."

Then Xu Yien, Zhu Yilong and Zhu Yawen congratulated each other.

Everyone received a nomination certificate and a trophy, and everyone has a bright future.

After the commendation ceremony, they accepted interviews from various media outlets.

After the interview, we went to eat hotpot together.

Zhu Yilong eats the most among the three.

All the saliva I swallowed when looking at the fruit plate just now is now used to digest the beef.

Delicious, love to eat, eat more.

The main dish is tomato hotpot, as the spicy beef hotpot is too high in calories.

After eating hot pot, we went back to our hotel rooms to sleep.

Tonight, Miao and I tacitly agreed not to sleep in separate beds. We need to stay energetic for tomorrow's grand Golden Rooster Awards ceremony. Even if we don't win any awards, we can still show off.

You have to have a sense of aloofness and arrogance. Nomination is also an achievement, which is written in the performance list of big stars. Although they have awards, nomination is also an honor.

Nominations are definitely a blessing to the actors themselves, except for the trivial awards.

Some people have started conspiracy theories on the Internet again.

Only Xu Yien and Zhu Yilong were present at the Golden Rooster Awards this year. Could it be that the choice was between them? Wu Jing and the others were not present.

[Yi Yang Qianxi didn't come, and Shen Teng didn't come either. Should we choose between them?]

[This is bullshit. Si Zi didn't come last year either. Wu Jing came but didn't attend the ceremony. Stop the conspiracy theories about an insider appointment.]

【Is Wu Jing really here? 】

[Here I come, my dear brother, I have all the news.]

Beyond these conspiracy theories, there are many other discussions.

It's normal that Ugly Four didn't come. He doesn't want to be a runner-up. Instead of participating in the competition when he's old and not winning any awards, he might as well settle down and make more movies.

I don’t know why Shen Teng was not there.

The reason why Xu Zheng doesn't appear is because his reputation is too bad, which is incomparable to before. There have been a lot of things happening recently, and the Internet is full of voices of boycott.

The main reason is that Wu Jing is here this time, while Xu Yien and Zhu Yilong are both nominated for the first time, so their chances of winning are not high, so everyone is betting on Wu Jing to win.

Please, that’s "The Battle at Lake Changjin", do we need to talk about its box office and influence?
Zhu Yilong's winning of the award was a surprise.

Good acting though.

But it is easy to understand why the first nomination was passed by the spectators.

As for Xu Yien?
The spectators didn't even bet on Xu Yien to win the award.

If you really get it, you will become the real Water Emperor.

Liu Wenwu is at most the second male lead in "Sniper". His role and character development are not as good as Dayong's. It is a pleasant surprise that he can be nominated. He just takes advantage of the first role.

Actually this is normal.

The first male lead in "Nameless" is Mr. Ye, but the male lead role was given to Tony Leung Chiu-wai, and the supporting male role was given to Wang Yi-bo. The same is true for "Sniper".

The first male lead mainly cares about the status, while the second male lead is the role setting.

Although Liu Wenwu's role and character development line are not as good as Dayong's, his character arc is not bad.

If you pair the first male lead with the second male lead, it won't be a big deal if you insist on saying he's the male lead.

When Xu Yien took on the role of Liu Wenwu, he just wanted to work with Zhang Yimou. It is a very happy thing to be able to work with a great director.

Not to mention the first role in "Sniper", it's not impossible to play a supporting role of the fourth or fifth in "Man Jiang Hong".

But Xu Yien has no fate with "Man Jiang Hong", and probably no fate with "Article 20" either. There is no suitable role for him, so let's put his second collaboration with Zhang Yimou on hold for the time being.

There are also many analyses online about who will win the awards.

The order is roughly like this:

Best Actor: Wu Jing, Zhu Yilong, Shen Teng, and Xu Yien each with 25%, while Jackson Yee has no hope.
Best Actress: Xi Meijuan 80%
Supporting Actor: Zhu Yawen 50%, Chen Minghao 50%
Supporting Actress: Wu Yue 40%, Qi Xi 60%
Anyway...

Even if you don’t win an award, you still have to keep pretending to be cool.

Others can go to Cannes to act in scenes even though their films aren't participating in the exhibition. Why can't Xu Yien show off just because he got nominated?
