For Mei Zihan, the vast majority of the judges of the Golden Dream Award definitely favored him and had great expectations for him.
As early as when Mei Zihan won Lily, the highest prize in the TV drama industry, the judges of the Film Association had already begun to look forward to Mei Zihan's development in the film industry.
Many judges have also watched the movie "Blood Pond", and Mei Zihan's performance in it can be regarded as remarkable. It's a pity that "Blood Pond Picture" was released at the same time as the Golden Dream Awards, so it didn't catch up with the selection, otherwise Mei Zihan would have to give Mei Zihan the Best Newcomer Award.
What the judges didn't expect was that when Mei Zihan started participating in the Golden Dream Awards, he was no longer running for the Newcomer Award, but the Best Actor nomination.
This speed really surprised and delighted the judges.
Don't look at the fact that there are still four movie kings in the circle, but they don't really have the level of movie kings. One or two are due to the dominant themes, and some are interpreted in place because of the similarities between the characters and the person. If one of the four, including Chen Juntao, was truly at the level of a movie king, it wouldn't be possible for the four of them to remain undistinguished by now.
When Chen Juntao and others were shining brightly in the film industry, the judges were still a little picky, thinking that they all had shortcomings of one kind or another, and it was a little bit reluctant to be the best actor. But they never expected that after Chen Juntao and others won the Best Actor Award, the quality of the candidates for actor in the coming years would be even worse.
Moreover, it is getting worse every year.
This is so embarrassing.
In the past, the judges still disliked Chen Jun, Tao Chu, Leqiu, this is bad, that is bad, but now it is very difficult to find an actor who is similar to them.
Fortunately, the pursuit of the best actor still has a lot of old actors to support it. Sometimes it is difficult to pull out the taller one among the short ones, but one can still be pulled out. However, such actors are often dominated by various factors such as subject matter, appearance, etc., and their status in the entertainment industry has not improved much, making it more likely that the film festival favors niche themes year by year Same.
The judges also want to call out an injustice.
It's not a niche topic, can those actors watch it? If you choose them, it will not only be a matter of losing face.
Even more depressing is the best newcomer award.
This award used to be very valuable, but it has become less and less good over the years. This is also a helpless move, because people who have made some achievements in TV dramas will all develop into the film industry, and it is naturally impossible for them to win any high-quality and high-quality awards. The Best Newcomer Award is particularly unique.
Like Qin Ling, he won the best newcomer of two film festivals.
The judges for this newcomer award barely met their wishes, because Qin Ling still has a lot of aura, but it just needs to be polished. It's just that Qin Ling developed more and more in the direction of popular stars, and occasionally took part in award-winning films. The quality of the films was really hard to praise.
After Qin Ling, the newcomer award has been completely reduced to a pork that many traffic niches have begun to covet.
Whoever is popular and not paralyzed can take it.
Mei Zihan, who appeared at this time, was particularly outstanding.
"Mei Zihan was the first male lead in the film "Shit Shovel Officer". He made a great breakthrough in it and achieved a balance between business and artistry. In terms of emotion and reason, I think his performance deserves a nomination." He is absolutely qualified." One of the judges tried hard to canvass for Mei Zihan, "On the other hand, Xiang Xia, his character has a serious profiling problem. It's not that his performance in it is not good, it's just that when compared with Mei Zihan, he looks poor. I think Xiang Xia should wait until next year."
"I think what you said is wrong." Another judge stood up, "Mei Zihan is only 29 this year, and "The Shit Shovel Officer" is only his second movie, so there is not much to see at all. "Xiang Xia's "Operation Against the Enemy" is a great attempt at the main theme of the film. It not only received good reviews, but also won the box office. Everyone knows how Mei Zihan won the award with "Sniper". It’s not like Mei Zihan can win an award for starring in the main theme TV, and Xiang Xia can’t even get a nomination for playing the main theme of the film, right?”
The meaning of this judge is obvious, that is, not to be too double-standard.
The judges were arguing non-stop, and the shortlist was about to be announced, and everyone was still arguing about the last place.
But even if it is a quarrel, the judges are happy to have this kind of quarrel every year.
It is precisely because there are so many outstanding works this year that they are arguing endlessly over a nomination. If it was different from the previous years, where everyone has so much thought, it will be fine.
"Then let's vote anonymously again." The president of the film association who was invited to be a notary suggested, "Whoever gets the most votes will be shortlisted. I just want to say something." The president looked at the judges present , "I know that these two people have a little background, and there must be many people who have said something in front of you these days. But, I hope everyone will remember what they do, and don't agree to something just for a little face. .Some things, once started, can’t be closed.”
There are only a few movie awards left that can still maintain a certain amount of gold and credibility. If even these awards start to become vassals of capital, then there is really no cure.
Many judges were a little ashamed, and always felt that the chairman's words were directed at them.
When Liu Tianyi called, he happened to be counting the votes.
"Mei Zihan." "Mei Zihan." "Xiang Xia." "Xiang Xia."
…
Of course Liu Tianyi wasn't the only one who called to inquire. Xiang Xia's manager also called several times to confirm, but they didn't get an accurate answer.
The person who answered the phone also felt very painful, okay
They have to answer the phone in front of the notary, and they can't say anything, and they have to open the phone.
"Don't be too anxious, even if you are not shortlisted for the Golden Dream Award, there is still the next Golden Goat Award." Xiang Xia was not worried, but felt a little funny looking at the manager's appearance.
This is strange, when did Xiang Xia become so talkative
The agent felt something was wrong.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"Well, I just think there is nothing wrong with giving this opportunity to Mei Zihan." Xiang Xia said while holding his chin, "Elizabeth's performance is indeed better than mine."
"...hehe." If someone else said this, the manager believed it, and Xiang Xia said this, wouldn't he feel ashamed and panic
It's not that there were no people who performed better than Xiang Xia in the past, but where have they all gone now
"Do you think Mei Zihan likes men or women?" Xiang Xia asked suddenly.
"...don't act recklessly, this is not a place for you to run wild." The manager was sweating profusely, "If you like other 18th-line starlets, young models and so on, it's fine. Mei Zihan is now His popularity is higher than yours, and his background is no worse than yours."
God hurry up and send down a few thunderbolts to kill this playboy!
The agent was about to break his heart for Xiang Xia.
Xiang Xia has a righteous face, and it is easy to give people the impression of being safe and reliable when he pursues people, so he always has no disadvantages.
Although the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan has declined, there are still three catties of nails in the bad boat! The first time Xiang Xia caught the public's attention was when he hooked up with a well-known Xiaohua in the Hong Kong circle, and took advantage of the woman's popularity to directly skyrocket to the top.
Of course, in the end the relationship broke up because of the woman's "derailment". Xiang Xia not only gained the reputation of a good man, but also stepped on his ex-girlfriend to a higher level.
However, the agent at that time was not the one he is now, and it is hard for the agent to say whether there is Xiang Xia's handwriting in it.
But now if Xiang Xia wants to attack Mei Zihan's ideas, he will not agree to death.
It would be fine if Mei Zihan was a girl, but the other party is not!
"I know, so I'm going to try it with my heart." Xiang Xia smiled.
"... You've only met him a few times, so he didn't pay attention to you at all." The manager couldn't help complaining, "If something comes out of you, you won't be alone."
Besides, Xiang Xia has a fart sincerity.
"Don't you think he's very interesting?" Xiang Xia exclaimed, "A person with such an emotional intelligence can still make a name for himself in the entertainment circle, and he's getting more and more popular? When I didn't see him, I thought such a person must be arrogant, but Mei Zihan made me feel like a little white rabbit."
It would be a good thing if Mei Zihan was really a little white rabbit.
After all, he is indeed the most anticipated niche in the mainland.
He must have a lot of resources, background and connections.
In the entertainment circle, there are very few pure straight men and straight women.
After all, people are visual animals, and under the excellent appearance, the boundaries between men and women are not so clear. Besides, even if it is a male and female combination, breaking up is still commonplace.
"Even if it's a little white rabbit, Liu Tianyi beside him is not." The manager said angrily, "He may not like you. Besides, even if he really likes men, he is much safer s Choice."
"That's true." Xiang Xia sighed slightly, "However, it's better to find out what kind of person Mei Zihan is first."
Looking at Xiang Xia's smiling face, the manager trembled for no reason.
Nine o'clock the next morning.
The shortlist for the Golden Dream Award is about to come out.
Mei Zihan slept soundly with Jiang Ying in his arms, without any nervousness at all.
Hehe, he is now "no desires, no desires", he is about to become a fairy, and it is just a nomination. If he can't do it this time, there will be a next time.
Jiang Ying sighed silently, put down Mei Zihan's paw, and walked out lightly.
As soon as Liu Tian looked up, he saw Jiang Ying, and his eyelids twitched, "He's still sleeping? You're too spoiled with him. It's time for him to get up and exercise."
"He was a little enthusiastic yesterday." Jiang Ying coughed, "It's okay, he can sleep more. Soon, you will all join the group of "The Great Devil."
At that time, even if she wanted to sleep, Mei Zihan would not have much chance to sleep.
"Big Devil" is also one of Mei Zihan's confidence.
If Elizabeth can't get nominated for Best Actor, then the theme of "Big Devil" can always be nominated.
Their goal is the best actor, but not the nomination of the best actor, what does it matter once or twice
You know, the contract between Mei Zihan and Liu Tianyi has been signed for twenty years!
How long has it been since now? No rush, no rush.
"... But apart from "The Great Devil", I haven't seen many good books in the future."
"Isn't there still going to be "Black and White Detective" and "Star Barrister" this year? The second season of "Fu Shen" is also very popular, and the third season will only be better, and there are still some leftovers." Jiang Ying reassured ,"Time is up."
Liu Tianyi's phone rang right on time.
Jiang Ying opened Weibo and posted the list of the best actor nominees for the Golden Dream Awards.
"Operation Against the Enemy" - Xiang Xia.
"Shit Shovel Officer" - Mei Zihan.
Double nomination?
