Chapter 45 Magnolia Scene (Please collect and recommend)

The Magnolia Award, whose full name is the Magic City TV Festival Magnolia Award, is officially hosted and founded in 1986. It is one of the three major TV drama awards.

The other two are the Golden Eagle Award and the Feitian Award.

Faced with Jiang Wei's invitation, Qi Hui thought about it and decided to go.

I said hello to Director Lin and asked for leave, which caused jealousy among my colleagues.

Especially Lei Jiayin, he is from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, but after several years in Shanghai, he has never been to the Magnolia Awards.

He didn't care in the past, but didn't Qi Hui go in front of him?
His own failure was painful, but his brother's success was even more painful.

There was no other way, he could only comfort himself that Qi Hui would only be a runner-up if he went, and winning a prize? That was impossible!

The last person to win a major award as soon as she debuted was Li Xiaolu.

But Li Xiaolu's grandfather was the production director of Beijing Film Studio, and her father Li Daning was also from Beijing Film Studio and was a director. Li Xiaolu's mother Zhang Weixin was a famous actress of Changchun Film Studio.

She learned acting from her surroundings since she was young, got roles in dramas, and it was not surprising that she won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress as soon as she debuted.

However, Qi Hui is not Li Xiaolu, so it is impossible for him to win a big prize as soon as he debuts.

Right, that is it!

However, no matter how Lei Jiayin complained, Qi Hui still went, with everyone's envious gazes.

If you want to meet Qi Hui, you can watch him on the live broadcast of Oriental Satellite TV. If you look carefully, you might be able to find him.

……

According to the message sent by Director Jiang, Qi Hui was waiting for the "Disguiser" crew members at the destination.

The filming location of "The Temptation to Go Home" is just outside of Shanghai, so he is very close to it.

Although he was the last to know, Qi Hui was the first to arrive.

Time passed little by little, and soon, the actors from the same group appeared one by one.

Jiang Wei, Feng Enhe, Zu Feng, Wu Gang, Zhu Jie, Fan Yulin, and Shen Aojun.

Qi Hui had never seen the last two. When he joined the crew, these two had already finished filming.

What’s interesting is that Yao Chen, the leading female actress, did not come.

When Shen Aojun asked about this matter, Jiang Wei said that he had contacted Yao Chen, but the other party ignored him.

In fact, Jiang Wei did not submit her for the award because due to an injury, part of her role was performed by a body double.

In the era of young and popular actors, this would be considered an achievement and proof of hard work in filming, but unfortunately, that era has not yet arrived, so Yao Chen does not meet the criteria for the award.

Moreover, when Yao Chen learned that she was not nominated for the award but Qi Hui was, she became even more depressed. She didn't even say goodbye and directly hung up Jiang Wei's phone, which made Jiang Wei look ugly for a while.

The last one to come was Sun Honglei, but his look was a bit unique, with his right hand wrapped tightly with gauze bandages.
It looks like he was seriously injured.

"Hey? Teacher Sun, how come you are injured like this?" Zu Feng asked in surprise.

"Ahahaha...I got hurt while filming." Sun Honglei smiled awkwardly: "Zhang Yimou's play, movie."

As soon as these words came out, Zu Feng fell silent.

He also wants to act in Zhang Yimou’s movie!

The most popular director in China right now is Zhang Yimou.

The reason is simple: he directed the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Qi Hui was immediately surprised. Zhang Yimou, Sun Honglei...could it be "Three Guns"?

A... well, a bad movie. Qi Hui's only impression of this play is Mr. Benshan's cross-eyed ancient costume.

He remembered that there was a rumor before he traveled through time, which seemed to say that Xiao Shenyang had a fight with Liu Huaqiang and was injured... Could it be because of this?
Qi Hui glanced at Sun Honglei's right hand wrapped in gauze and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Looking at the people around him, Director Jiang took a deep breath and seemed to be more confident and reassured.

"Let's go." He was indeed a little unsure because of the competition with "The Disguiser" were Gao Xixi's "Glimpses of Life" and Teng Huatao's "Wang Gui and Anna".

In addition, there is a heavyweight opponent: Kang Honglei's "My Captain, My Regiment"

"Lost" is indeed not bad, but facing these opponents, the pressure is still very great.

There were quite a lot of people at the Magnolia Awards venue, but apart from some of the nominees and judges, most of the others were artists who were invited by the organizers to come and show their support.

This is actually also a stage for socializing. Big shots that are hard to see in daily life may appear. If you are lucky, you may be able to establish a relationship with them and take your career to the next level.

Qi Hui and his group did not walk the red carpet, but showed their faces in front of the camera and were then led in by Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei is a somewhat old-fashioned person and is not interested in fancy things like red carpets and autographs.

It’s actually very easy to understand. He majored in history in college, so it would be strange if he wasn’t old-fashioned.

Qi Hui looked around and found that no school leaders were present for such an important event, such as the round-faced old man Lao Wang, or other school leaders.

But it makes sense when you think about it, they are from Beijing Film Academy, and this is Shanghai.

Although it is not said explicitly, there is still some competition between the two sides in secret.

Even if the Magnolia Awards wants to invite people, they should invite leaders from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. Why invite leaders from the Beijing Film Academy for no reason?
"Huh?" Zu Feng suddenly asked in surprise, "Isn't that Zheng Xiaolong?"

"Who is it?" Qi Hui followed his gaze and found that it was a middle-aged man. He was still tall and straight, but looked a little old.

"The big boss in the Beijing circle, Zheng Xiaolong." Zu Feng explained.

Qi Hui took a look, thought for a moment, and soon knew who he was: the director of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

This is his very famous work, but in his early years, he was a big shot in the Beijing circle.

As for how big he is...that depends on his background.

He was born in a compound, and it was the compound of the General Logistics Department. His father was the Minister of the Propaganda Department of the General Logistics Department. Later, Zheng Xiaolong retired from the army and became the deputy director of the Capital Television Art Center.

The reason why Xiao Gangpao and Wang Shuo got to know each other was because he was the one who pulled the strings and built the bridge.

In the 1980s, Zheng Xiaolong, Wang Shuo and others, together with Ye Daying, Ma Weidu and others, set up the Seahorse Dance Hall, which was quite impressive.

But then... he was hit by the iron fist of justice.

Wang Shuo went to the United States and went to New York, and Zheng Xiaolong also fell into silence.

The leading figures of the Beijing circle became Feng Xiaogang and Zhao Baogang, two children of commoners.

As for those young men from big courtyards, they could only rank below these two.

Zheng Xiaolong is a big shot in the Beijing circle. The fact that he can appear here speaks volumes. Either he is so awesome that everyone respects him, or he is so unskilled that no one cares about him.

Obviously, Zheng Xiaolong now belongs to the latter.

However, by the time "The Legend of Zhen Huan" comes out, he may not be the same as he is now.

Although the pigtail scene is a bit unpleasant, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is indeed a phenomenal TV series.

For a period of time, Heilongjiang Province TV broadcast the show almost 24 hours a day, and was once ridiculed as Zhen Huan TV. This alone shows the popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
This play also allowed Zheng Xiaolong to regain his former glory. He proved that he was not a remnant of the old era and that there was still a ship in the new era that could carry him.

Qi Hui looked around the ceremony venue and saw many familiar people, including Huang Shengyi, Song Dandan, Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi...

Of course, there are also some people I don’t know, such as foreigners...oh no, they should be called foreign friends.

Although Qi Hui was a little confused as to why there were foreigners in the Magnolia Awards, one of the three major television awards in mainland China, he did see foreigners here.

At 7pm, the guests took their seats and the music started.

A team of dancers in white came slowly, holding the Magnolia trophy in their hands, and performed their dance moves on the stage.

The award ceremony officially started.
