In fact, not winning the prize was within Xia Siyu's expectation.
She and the senior were already close to each other, but in terms of acting skills at the time of "The Tempest", she couldn't compare to the senior. But this was her breakthrough as a film actress. The audience found it fresh, and she had Bo Yan and Shang Fei'er to co-star, so the effect was particularly good and the box office was good.
If there had been no mountain disaster, even if Huixing was not operating, her chances of being selected would have been between 50 and 50. It all depends on the judges’ preferences. Those who like extravagant acting will probably especially like her way of acting, and she doesn't just do extravagant acting, she also does a good job with the details. If you like life-style acting, maybe that senior will impress them.
She was convinced when she lost to her senior and would never say no.
However, what Xia Siyu never expected was that the Golden Olympics Best Actress Award would be won by a 22-year-old junior who was nominated for the first time and acted in a campus youth film.
When the result was announced, Xia Siyu was indeed a little confused, and the smile instantly froze on her face. But she wasn't angry, she just felt a little unbelievable. She turned slightly and asked the person next to her: "What? Who is it?"
The person sitting next to her was Wang Zhi. With his connections, he had actually received some news beforehand, especially about the first round of voting. It's hard to choose between Xia Siyu and that senior brother.
Generally, voting is divided into two rounds, and more than 50% of the people voting can be decided. But both Xia Siyu and the senior were around 30%, and Xia Siyu had a slight advantage. But this number of votes obviously cannot pass the second round.
If at this time, Xia Siyu's company has a background or some connections, it might not be a bad idea to fight for it. After all, he has the upper hand in the first round of voting.
But Xia Siyu didn't go, and the senior wasn't a popular person, so he didn't go because he wasn't highly praised.
Unexpectedly, it was the newcomer who went to public relations.
The newcomer was highly praised by the film company. Although there was no one from the company on the jury, the chairman of the jury was married to a certain director of the company.
Anyway, no one stood out in the first round of voting, and the newcomer got about 20% of the vote. Several people argued endlessly about who would win, Xia Siyu or the senior. The chairman of the judges simply suggested that since there was no conclusion, it would be better to choose the newest newcomer to give the newcomer some encouragement.
If we have to talk about performance, this female artist would have no problem winning the Newcomer Award. She is very spirited and quite talented. But when the final result was announced, Xia Siyu was surprised at first. Later, she ignored her sadness and turned her head to look in the direction of the female senior.
The female senior also looked at her, with both of them looking a little shocked. But since everyone is a scene person and the scene person talks about the scene, no one will make a bad face public on the scene.
However, it was still a bit unpleasant to watch the newcomer cry with joy and burst into tears while holding the trophy, thanking his relatives, friends, and the agency.
Of course, except for the heroine herself, all other viewers, including those in front of the TV or mobile phones, looked shocked.
Although this heroine won the award on the front foot, the back foot was hotly searched and bought. But the people who left the comments behind were all: "How can you win an award just by yourself? You are a worse actor than Xia Siyu!"
