Entertaining Children

After Xiao Yao and his party entered the arena, the staff who were waiting on the side led everyone to their seats. The seats for this crew are in the third row to the right. Although it is not the most popular seat, it is still very good.

When Xiao Yao and others entered the arena, the red carpet show outside was not over yet.

The award ceremony is a relatively formal occasion, and the stars are wearing formal attire, so it is not easy to walk around casually, but the award ceremony has not yet started, so it is still possible to talk and chat.

Around the seats of Xiao Yao and others are also shortlisted crew members, many of whom are stars. Even if you haven't seen it in private, you've always seen it on TV. After Xiao Yao and the others sat down, they either actively or passively greeted and greeted the stars in the front and back rows. Xiao Yao and several Chinese stars helped introduce the American members of the crew next to them, and finally gave each other some award-winning Blessings, the period leading up to the awards ceremony is basically over.

Before eight o'clock, the red carpet show ended, and all the guests attending the awards ceremony entered the arena. All the lights on the stage were extinguished, indicating that the awards ceremony was about to begin.

The Golden Dragon Award Ceremony has performances. The movie theme song sung by Xiao Yao and his band is one of the performances tonight, but their song is in English, and it was not arranged as an opening performance at the beginning stage. So Xiao Yao and the band members don't need to leave in advance to make preparations.

At 8:00 p.m., the lights above the auditorium dimmed. Everyone knew that the awards ceremony was about to begin, and the scene quickly fell silent.

The award ceremony of the Golden Dragon Awards began. The usual practice is to play posters of some of China's outstanding movies over the years, then the clips of movies nominated for this year's awards, and then, the opening performance.

"I invite the host of this awards ceremony..." After the opening performance, the narration sounded from the live speakers.

Everyone in the auditorium gave applause, and then a burst of music sounded from the speakers. Amid the sound of live music and the applause of the audience, two hosts in gowns and holding microphones walked onto the stage from the aisle behind the stage. The number of hosts for the award ceremony is not fixed. The year before last, Xiao Yao participated in three hosts. It seems that there are only two this year.

The two hosts walked to the front of the stage, the live music stopped, and the applause of the audience also fell.

"Ben is the guest host this year," Zhao Rui, who was sitting next to Xiao Yao, took Xiao Yao's elbow and lightly abducted Xiao Yao, tilting his head and whispering, "Aren't you pretty good at talking? Also go to the awards ceremony to be the host for fun?"

The two hosts on the stage are all celebrities familiar to Chinese audiences. Among them, the hostess is Tong Yishu, who works for CCTV and is a professional host. And the male host is Xu Ben, but he is a well-known actor who has won Best Actor.

"Ben is not a guest star as a host!" Xiao Yao replied in a low voice, "Ben has done a lot of jobs, from voice actor to resident singer, he has hosted many evening parties and award ceremonies. He is a film and television The all-round talent of Gejia hosting!"

"No matter how all-powerful Brother Ben is, are you all-powerful?" Zhao Rui said, "Which of the jobs he has done have you never done? No, you probably haven't done it as a waiter serving dishes, but which ones you can't do?"

Xu Ben is in his forties, and he is considered a late blooming actor. He didn't really become popular until middle age. His early life experience was very rich, and it can be said that it was quite rough. He has done many careers, and he can be regarded as an inspirational model in the Huaxia entertainment circle.

"Besides, didn't you still take the test for the host certificate?" Zhao Rui continued, "If you don't practice it, your certificate is just for fun?"

"It's just for the exam!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, then suddenly shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sit down! The camera is coming!"

Although Xiao Yao was chatting with Zhao Rui, part of his attention was always on the two hosts on the stage, listening to their speech. Although the two hosts hadn't mentioned the names of Xiao Yao or Zhao Rui, Xiao Yao knew from the meaning of their words that he would be called soon, so he immediately reminded Zhao Rui.

After the two hosts finished their regular welcome opening remarks, they began to introduce some of the guests who attended the awards ceremony tonight. When introducing a celebrity guest, the main camera on the scene will turn to take pictures of the person being introduced in the guest seat, and the big screen behind the stage will also simultaneously display the picture of the celebrity guest.

Zhao Rui knew that Xiao Yao's reaction was faster than his own, and when he heard Xiao Yao's words, he immediately sat upright, with a smile on his face.

After introducing several core figures and top celebrities in the film industry who won multiple nominations tonight, the two hosts turned their introductions to young people.

"I just introduced a few seniors and mainstays in the Chinese film industry, and now we want to introduce a few outstanding young people in the film industry." Tong Yishu said, looking at Xu Ben and saying, "Brother Ben, speaking of outstanding young people in the film industry, Who impresses you the most?"

"That must be Xiao Yao!" Xu Ben said without thinking.

"Oh~" Some ordinary audience members who participated in the awards ceremony in the back row of the auditorium cheered.

"It must be? There is no hesitation at all!" Tong Yishu continued to ask with a smile, "Nowadays there are many outstanding young people in the film industry, why are you so sure that it is him?"

"He's awesome!" Xu Ben stretched out one hand and pointed at turns, "The short films he wrote, directed and acted in at the age of 18 won awards abroad, and the first feature film he starred in won the Golden Dragon Award the year before last." He was nominated for Best Newcomer and Best Actor, and won the Best Newcomer Award. The animated feature film directed and written by him won the Best Animated Feature Film at the Golden Dragon Awards last year. His film was nominated for the Golden Dragon Awards again this year. .And this year's shortlisted film, he not only starred in it, but also participated in the director, screenwriter, soundtrack and action design."

"Wow~"

"Oh~"

Following Xu Ben's introduction, there were exclamations and even louder cheers from the ordinary audience in the back row. Even among the celebrity guests in the front row, some applauded and cheered.

"There are young people in the Chinese film industry who can act, and there are also young people who can be behind the scenes," Xu Ben said as if summarizing and explaining, "But young people who are good at acting and can do so well behind the scenes, except He doesn’t seem to be able to find anyone else, right? So when it comes to outstanding young filmmakers, he is naturally the first thing I think of!”

"Well, I agree!" Tong Yishu nodded, turned to look at the audience and said, "But last year's Golden Dragon Awards, Xiao Yao was absent, I wonder if he came this year?"

"Here we come! Where is it!" Xu Ben pointed in Xiao Yao's direction.

The camera turned in the direction Xu Ben was pointing at, and on the big screen there was a picture of Xiao Yao standing up with clasped hands and bowing to Xu Ben on the stage, then smiling and waving at the camera.

After sitting down again, Xiao Yao stretched out his hands and pointed to Zhao Rui and the others beside him, making an exaggerated "behind the scenes" mouth shape. The camera at the scene also pointed the lens at Zhao Rui and Xu Fei.

"Xiao Yao seems to be reminding you that he is not the only one who can act and be behind-the-scenes!" Tong Yishu smiled at Xu Ben, "Zhao Rui and Xu Fei beside him are also very good young actors, and they are also good actors. Participated in the screenwriting and action design of the movie. In addition, Chen Xiaoting is also one of the screenwriters of the movie."

"Okay!" Xu Ben nodded with a smile, "Tonight, we really should talk about Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting together."

"Why do you say that?" Tong Yishu continued to ask.

"Because the four of them are a team," Xu Ben said, "the film they nominated tonight is based on a new extreme sport called parkour. As far as I know, the sport of parkour is the four of them It was initiated by this team, and all four of them participated in the work of the film both before and behind the scenes. So, they came as a group tonight!"

"Speaking of which, I suddenly feel that our young filmmakers in China are very powerful." Xu Ben looked at Tong Yishu and said, "Not only can filming, but also create a new extreme sport that is popular all over the world. I am grateful for such young compatriots I am proud to be with my peers!" As he said, Xu Ben gave Xiao Yao and others a thumbs up.

There was a burst of warm applause, including many cheers. The four of Xiao Yao all stood up and bowed to all directions of the audience.

"Okay!" After the four of Xiao Yao sat down and the applause stopped, Xu Ben continued, "There are only a few young people who are good at acting and behind the scenes. Let's introduce a few young actors who are particularly outstanding in acting. This year's award There are five best newcomer actors, they are Wen Li, where is Wen Li?"

The scene on the big screen cut to the young actor named Wen Li, and Xiao Yao and others relaxed a little.

After introducing the guests, the next step is the awarding process.

Among the various film awards, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture are usually the four most important awards. The four most important awards are usually placed at the end of the finale. Due to the reputation of the candidates, the awards for best male and female supporting role, best new actor, and best new director usually receive more attention than technical awards. All are gathered together, so these awards and technical awards are staggered in the order in which they are awarded.

At the awards ceremony the year before last, the first award presented was Best New Actor, and it is the same this year. But for this year's award, Xiao Yao's crew was not nominated, and it has nothing to do with them.

After the first award was presented, there was no performance in the middle, and then came the second award tonight. The second award tonight is Best Motion Design in the Technology category. Xiao Yao and the others were nominated for this award for this film, and it was related to them, so naturally some people became nervous.

The names of the two award presenters who presented the best action design were just read out by the host. Before they got on the stage, Xu Fei quietly pulled Zhao Rui's arm, and asked in a nervous whisper: "The two of them are presenting the award, are we?" Isn't it out of play?"

Most of the award presenters are a combination of a man and a woman. Tonight's Golden Dragon Awards Best Action Design Award presenters are not only a man and a woman, but also one in front of the scene and one behind the scene.

The male award presenter is Zhou Nian'an, in his 40s, who was once a member of Zhou Jiaban, the royal martial arts team of Zhou Hu, the internationally renowned Kung Fu superstar in Hong Kong Island. Now he is a senior martial arts instructor and action director in the industry, and he is also a director Made action movies.

The female award presenter is Tian Xinhui, an actor. Tian Xinhui was originally a professional taekwondo athlete and had won the championship in official competitions. After retiring, he transformed into an actor, and the roles he played were mainly action dramas, basically an action actor. She transformed into an actor for nearly ten years, and is currently one of the most famous "beating girls" in the Chinese film industry.

Both award presenters are known for their "fighting scenes", while Xiao Yao's "Parkour Boys" is characterized by "running". There are very few scenes of actual fighting, which is the most "fighting" among the five shortlisted films. The fewest elements. That's why Xu Fei felt a little unconfident when he heard that these two were the award presenters.

"Calm down!" Zhao Rui smiled, "Didn't you say that a nomination is a victory, and it doesn't matter if you win an award or not?"

"Just saying that, how can it be indifferent!" Xu Fei said, "Everyone is here, who doesn't want to win an award?"

"I want to win an award, but it's not up to us!" Zhao Rui comforted, "Besides, they are famous for their fight scenes, but those who are really famous for sports and other action movies How many are there, basically all of them are famous for acting? Who do you think is the right one to present awards to us? Don’t be so unconfident just because of a name!”

On the stage, after the two award presenters greeted the audience, introduced themselves, and greeted each other, Tian Xinhui smiled and asked Zhou Nian'an: "Director Zhou, I am now labeled as an action actor by the audience, and some people call me Hitting girls, then I would like to ask, are female action actors just hitting girls?"

"Of course not!" Zhou Nian'an smiled and shook his head. "Action scenes include fighting scenes, but they are definitely not limited to fighting scenes. Action scenes such as running, chasing, and even jumping off buildings and cars that can be classified as stunts are all action scenes. ..."

"There's a show!" Xu Fei from the audience said happily.

"However," Zhou Nian'an continued, "Among all the action scenes, I think the action scenes are the most difficult to shoot. Because he not only requires beautiful and difficult movements, but also needs the cooperation between the actors in the opponent scene, so that the filming can be done well. .So I think you are called a hit girl, but it actually means that you are a very good action actor."

"Alas~" Xu Fei sighed in disappointment again.

"Expression management!" Zhao Rui reminded in a low voice.

"Yeah!" Xu Fei straightened his face immediately.

"Thank you director!" Tian Xinhui on the stage smiled, "I feel very happy when you say that."

"Okay, since you are happy, let's not waste any time, let's present the awards!" Zhou Nian'an said with a smile.

"The shortlist for the Best Action Design Award at the 55th Golden Dragon Awards is, please look at the big screen!" Tian Xinhui finished reading according to the cover of the envelope in his hand, and turned around with Zhou Nian'an to look at the big screen behind him.

The big screen at the scene played the featured action clips of the five shortlisted films in sequence, and marked the name of the action designer/director below, and there were bursts of applause at the scene.

After the clips of the five shortlisted films were played, Zhou Nian'an took the envelope from Tian Xinhui and opened it, and read seriously: "The winner of the 55th Golden Dragon Award for Best Action Design is..."

After reading this, Zhou Nian'an stopped, handed the envelope to Tian Xinhui, and motioned for her to read.

Tian Xinhui took a look at the envelope, then smiled and continued: "Although there are not many fighting scenes in this movie, I know that at least one person in this movie is very, very good at fighting! The winner is "Parkour "Youth", Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei, Kevin Scott!"

When Tian Xinhui said that there were not many fighting scenes, Xu Fei clenched his fists excitedly. When Tian Xinhui read the name of the movie, the audience burst into applause. Xu Fei also happily patted Zhao Rui on the shoulder beside him, Hug.

"Congratulations to the four of you! Please come to the stage to accept the award!" said the host Tong Yishu standing on the side of the stage.
