When the last group finished walking the red carpet, the chatter outside the venue gradually died down, but the atmosphere inside the venue was getting more and more tense.
The last group of people to finish walking the red carpet let out a long sigh of relief. It was the first time for one of them to walk the red carpet. He was so nervous that his back was soaked in sweat. He felt that walking this short distance was more tiring than acting in a drama.
The vast majority of the nominees were from the "Founding Era" cast and crew. Even if they weren't familiar with each other, they knew each other. When they entered the venue, they couldn't help but glance over at Fang Zhao. Fang Zhao seemed rather calm. Whether or not he was faking it, it was still worth learning from.
Thus, those who had been nervous also pretended to be indifferent. But their hidden hands were clenched into fists. Their palms were sweaty, and they wondered if they could win.
The "Golden TV Series Gala" started very quickly. Compared to the Galaxy Awards ceremony, which was more serious and formal, the "Golden TV Series Gala" was more casual and lively. From the start, the host made the atmosphere very relaxed. He talked, sang, and joked. Every now and then, he would make a few jokes, triggering waves of laughter.
In front of the cameras, celebrities and various film and television workers laughed very easily. Even if they couldn't laugh, they still had to act. What if they were caught on camera? This was a live broadcast! Who knew what the online audience would say? The moral integrity of the entertainment reporters looking at the pictures was even more touching. Therefore, acting had to be everywhere.
At the start, the awards for the comedy categories were given out. The atmosphere was relatively relaxed, but when the awards for the first few categories were given out, the atmosphere became less lively. The smiles of the younger actors became awkward.
The Best Child Star Award was a turning point, because it was followed by the awards for the drama series.
At the beginning, the Corale Film Festival didn't have a Best Child Star Award. Later, to encourage outstanding child actors, it was added. Lu Aotian had been nominated for this award, and he had the highest chance of winning it.
Sure enough, when the honored guest read out Lu Aotian's name, no one was surprised.
Lu Aotian's parents stood up and clapped excitedly the moment they heard his name.
As for Lu Aotian, after getting up from his seat, he jogged onto the stage and did a forward somersault and a few somersaults until he reached the honored guest, eliciting a burst of good-natured laughter from many of the older actors.
"Haha! This kid! "
"This little fella is very excited."
"Look at the strength of that somersault. Not bad. He must have practiced it many times in private."
"Of course. Before filming 'Founding Era,' he even practiced shooting, and his hands still had calluses. Therefore, in the film he shot, there were no irregularities. He is indeed a hardworking little fellow. "
On the stage, Lu Aotian did not even bother to wipe off the sweat on his forehead. He was grinning so widely that all his teeth were showing. Actually, he had already started to lose his teeth during the filming of "Founding Era." At that time, in order to make the filming look more realistic, the lead director did not let him wear dentures. Now, for the award ceremony, he wore custom-made dentures in advance. Otherwise, if people found out that he had lost his front teeth, how embarrassing would that be? He would take off his dentures after the Film and Television Festival, so he was not afraid to show his teeth at all. Not only did he have to smile, he had to smile brilliantly! This was the first major award that he had won with his own abilities. His father had not even been nominated this time!
Holding the trophy, Lu Aotian was about to give an acceptance speech when he realized that he had forgotten what to say.
He had clearly memorized it before coming, but now that he was too excited, it was like fireworks had gone off in his head. He could not remember anything else.
When the honored guest presenter saw this, he understood and was in no hurry to get off the stage. Instead, he asked Lu Aotian, "Are you surprised to receive the award? Are you happy?"
Lu Aotian immediately replied, "Not surprised! Very happy! After all, my performance in the series was so good! "
"This little friend is very confident. Who did you like the most during filming? "another honored guest asked.
Lu Aotian replied loudly, "I liked Fang Zhao the most!"
The live broadcast even gave Father Lu a close-up.
Father Lu had a flawless smile. In his heart, he was thinking about how he would deal with this little brat when he got home. He was so happy that he had even forgotten his father. Shouldn't you mention your father's name at times like this?!
After the camera cut, someone sitting beside Father Lu joked, "Why don't you go and have a fight with Fang Zhao after this ends?"
"Nope," Father Lu said decisively.
"Why?"
"Do you know how many sandbags he smashed while filming 'Founding Era'?"
At this point, Lu Aotian also remembered the acceptance speech he had memorized. He thanked his parents for nurturing him. Without the environment and conditions of his family, he would not have been able to reach such heights at this age. He also thanked the director and all the brothers, sisters, uncles, and aunties in the cast and crew.
However, many online viewers no longer cared about what Lu Aotian had to say. What they were more interested in was why the first person Lu Aotian mentioned was Fang Zhao.
Because of this, many netizens dug up stills of Lu Aotian sitting on Fang Zhao's shoulders, as well as historical photos of General Wu Yan sitting on Fang Zhao's shoulders as a child. This once again sparked a wave of discussion.
In a residential house on Corale Island.
The exploding fireworks reminded people that another award was about to be handed out.
A young man who had just finished a game asked a friend watching the live broadcast, "What was the award just given out?"
"The Best Child Star Award. The winner is that kid Lu Aotian. He acted as the main character in the Yanzhou chapter of 'Founding Era' when he was young. Look at this very popular online stills and compare it to historical photos. Don't they look very similar?"
"Looks like his acting was pretty good. When the time comes, I haven't watched the Yanzhou chapter of 'Founding Era' yet."
"This kid is really interesting. He did a somersault on stage. When the host asked him who he liked the most in the cast and crew, he said Fang Zhao. Hahaha! The live broadcast even gave his dad a shot! "
"Fang Zhao? That Fang Zhao who was rather popular a while ago? I think I saw him in the nomination list. "
"Right! He was nominated for best newcomer and best supporting actor, but I don't know if he will win... Hey, next up is best newcomer! "
After best child star was the best newcomer award. The honored guest opened the envelope and looked at the name written on it.
"Fang Zhao!"
Music and applause rang out. Spotlights shone on Fang Zhao.
Under the camera, Fang Zhao got up and bowed to his seniors in the entertainment circle. He revealed some emotions of excitement, nervousness, and excitement. This was the reaction that a person his age should have.
Watching the live broadcast, Zuo Yu, Yan Biao, and Nanfeng: "..." Our boss is acting again.
Although Silver Wing was happy that Fang Zhao had won this award, they were still a little disappointed.
On this stage, at the Corale Film Festival's Golden TV Series Gala, the best supporting actor award was a little more valuable than the newcomer award. Like best child star, in the early years of the Golden TV Series Gala, there had been no best newcomer award. It had been added later to encourage young actors and actresses to work hard on their careers. It could be said that the newcomer award was a competition between new actors and actresses of the same generation, while the best supporting actor award was a more comprehensive competition. It was a competition with the seniors in the entertainment circle.
"Founding Era" director Nova Roman's smile faded slightly when he saw the results. In his heart, between the newcomer award and the best supporting actor award, he had hoped that Fang Zhao would win the best supporting actor award. That way, he would be able to affirm that Fang Zhao's ability wouldn't lose to the other seniors in the entertainment circle.
In Roman's heart, in the many chapters of "Founding Era," Fang Zhao had acted the best supporting actor. Although Fang Zhao was young and his acting path was rather narrow, this couldn't negate his perfect performance in "Founding Era."
However, the judges' final voting still placed Fang Zhao in the best newcomer category. Roman had voted for Fang Zhao in the best supporting actor category, but others didn't think the same way. This was no longer the "Founding Era" project team. Roman's words weren't the only thing that mattered.
An actor's acting skills were important, but there were other factors as well. After all, the judges were also human. They had their own selfish motives and biases, and they would also consider an actor's personal history. Compared to Fang Zhao, the judges were more satisfied with the others.
Although there were no written rules, everyone understood that Fang Zhao could forget about winning the best supporting actor award. This made the other actors who had been nominated for the best supporting actor award heave a sigh of relief. Fang Zhao was indeed a very strong competitor. Everyone had seen his performance in the film for themselves.
The others sitting beside Roman noticed the slight change in his expression and understood that Roman wasn't satisfied. But this was the result. There was no point in having any objections.
When the best newcomer award was handed out, Corale Island was once again set off another round of fireworks and light shows. Those who weren't watching the live broadcast were informed that another award was being handed out.
"Sure enough, it's Fang Zhao. Just as I expected."
"Getting such an achievement on his first acting day is already pretty good. Many people have been stuck in the newcomer stage for over 10 years and still haven't made any progress. Some time ago, there was some film award in some state, and the winner of the newcomer award was an actor who had debuted five or six years ago but was still a nobody."
"This time, Fang Zhao has been in the limelight at the" Golden TV Series Gala ". That's enough. His red carpet show and now his award on stage. He has struck it rich. Many people find it hard to show their faces here. This is a global live broadcast!"
In the venue, Fang Zhao held his trophy. After his acceptance speech, he returned to the stage. He had just sat down when he received a text notification. When he had entered the venue, Fang Zhao had muted all notifications except for those he paid special attention to.
When he opened it, the sender was Mo Lang, and it wasn't a congratulatory message like the others.
Fang Zhao raised his eyebrows when he saw the contents of the short message. A camera swept over him. Fang Zhao composed himself and continued to watch the following awards ceremony.
The next award was the Best Screenplay Award. As expected, the award went to the writing team of "Founding Era." Two screenwriter representatives went on stage to receive the award.
After thanking a few important people, the two screenwriters also praised the workers of the "Founding Era" cast.
"... The cast of 'Founding Era' is an excellent production team. During the filming process, everyone suffered unimaginable hardships. Also, it wasn't easy for the actors to step out of their roles. In addition, I would like to thank the consultant team. Without them, we would not have been able to perfect the script. For example, Prof. Mante, Prof. Reedman, Prof. Besser, Prof. Jason, and Yanzhou's Fang Zhao, etc. They all gave very pertinent suggestions. This is the result of everyone's hard work! Thank you! "
The ears of the people watching the live broadcast pricked up.
"What? Did I hear wrong? I think I heard Fang Zhao's name again! "
"They just said Fang Zhao's name, right?"
"Rewind the progress bar and confirm that they just mentioned Fang Zhao!"
"How many people in the consultant team are called Fang Zhao?"
"According to a well-known figure, Fang Zhao has indeed been invited to join the consultant team for 'Founding Era.' There is only one person called Fang Zhao in the consultant team. That scriptwriter was indeed talking about him."
"Fang Zhao's name was written in the end credits of the Yanzhou chapter, but many people did not pay attention."
Audiences did not understand, but the frequency of Fang Zhao's name appearing was too high. The public was also sensitive to this name. In the past, only a small portion of Yanzhou people knew that Fang Zhao had joined the consultant team. Now, many audiences around the world knew.
"F * ck! Fang Zhao is actually a member of the consultant team for 'Founding Era'! Isn't he a composer? Why is he mixing around with that bunch of historians? Is he also studying history? "
