Fang Yang, a struggling bar singer, soul-transferred into a parallel universe where he inherited a dying website and a music academy, graduating from a student who lost both parents. He revived th...
In the following period, several more rounds of awards were presented, almost all of which were related to television stations. Even if film and television companies had works, they were still cooperating with television stations, and the television stations were still in control.
Around this time, a video of Fang Yang singing "The Lone Warrior" live secretly appeared online. It was very clear, and it didn't seem like it was secretly filmed. It was more likely that the organizer released it.
It was nighttime, a peak time for online activity, and the video quickly went viral. Meanwhile, discussions about Fang Yang writing a song for the hero on the spot began to heat up. In just over an hour, several posts made it into the top 20 trending topics. At the same time, the video of Fang Yang singing on the spot was also shared on WeChat Moments, Douyin, Bilibili, and other platforms.
Fang Yang brings his own fanbase, and coupled with the high popularity of the Golden Eagle TV Festival, the video quickly went viral online, even topping the trending searches. Many netizens who were initially unaware of or uninterested in the awards ceremony followed the link to the live stream. In just one hour, the live stream gained over 20 million viewers, and the number continued to rise.
The person most pleased with the increase in traffic to the live stream was Tan Yang, the director of the awards ceremony. The video was originally edited by Tan Yang on a whim, with the aim of increasing traffic.
After so many years, the Golden Eagle TV Art Festival has lost some of its appeal. The same few people win the awards every year, and the audience has become immune to it. In addition, the Golden Eagle TV Art Festival takes about a week to arrive, and even the best patience will eventually wear out. An awards ceremony without any new ideas will eventually lose its luster.
The reason for agreeing to let Fang Yang sing on stage was also for this reason. The entire TV drama industry is like the setting sun, and the speed at which new talents emerge is too slow. This has resulted in familiar faces dominating major awards and reigning supreme for a few years, like a stagnant pool.
Even Wang Jialiang's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" only used some famous veteran actors. Even if their acting skills were superb, it didn't have any special significance for the organizers of the Golden Eagle TV Art Festival. Without the emergence of new talents and the competition among a hundred flowers, it didn't matter who won the award. It had no meaning for the ratings.
In short, the market lacks enthusiasm, the organizers and TV stations have no viewership or traffic, and ultimately it all boils down to not making money!
As the audience surged, the Best Screenplay Award was being announced on stage. Fang Yang and his team had won nothing in the recently concluded awards ceremony. The awards ceremony was now reaching its climax, and everyone was serious. The real show was about to begin.
Ya Ya's words were as witty as ever: "This time, the Best Screenplay Award is given to 'The Emperor of Han Dynasty,' an era that produced many talented people and a time when heroes vied for supremacy. 'The Emperor of Han Dynasty' depicts the legendary and extraordinary life of Emperor Wu of Han. The TV series has a grand and magnificent scale, and vividly portrays the historical characteristics of that era."
He Jiu then introduced, "Also included in the shortlist is 'Our Lost Youth.' Youth, what a beautiful word. Time is a knife, cutting people old with each stroke. Only when we can only reminisce do we realize that we are truly old. The touching story of several generations of a family striving for their ideals in the drama leads us into the era of youth. Although it will eventually pass, as long as we have fought hard, youth will be without regrets."
"In addition, there is 'The Trivial Matters in the Compound,' which, though ordinary and mundane, is the true essence of our lives. Not everyone is born a protagonist, nor is everyone born into luxury. Most people are just ordinary, living in compounds of varying sizes, struggling to make a living, and repeating the same mundane work day after day for the elderly and children. But it is precisely because of these ordinary lives that the most solid and massive foundation of the entire society is formed."
"Of course, there's also 'Police Story.' As guardians of urban social safety, they are busy every day, dealing with trivial matters or matters of life and death. But no matter how big or small the matter is, they are conscientious and strive to solve it, because in their view, safety is no small matter!"
"The last two TV series are both produced by the same person, so I'll introduce them together here. They are Fang Yang's 'Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty' and 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes.' Since the martial arts TV series had been dormant, Mr. Fang's two TV series have revitalized the industry, and both of them have become hits this year, which is truly amazing. In particular, 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' conveys the message that 'the greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people,' which has pointed the way for martial arts practitioners today. Practicing martial arts is not only about physical exercise, but also has special social significance in certain situations!"
Every time He Jiu and Ya Ya introduced a TV series, a clip from that series would be played on the big screen. When they got to "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the live broadcast room became especially lively. The tens of millions of viewers who came later were originally there for Fang Yang. At this time, Fang Yang had two TV series nominated, and he was overjoyed.
Some people have watched the first four TV series, while others haven't. However, most people have watched Fang Yang's two TV series. Even if they don't have time to watch them on TV, they will find time to watch them online. These two TV series are so popular that you would be embarrassed to discuss them with others if you haven't watched them, as that would make you seem out of touch.
"Alright, all six TV series have been introduced. All six of them have received very positive reviews from viewers. They have all performed exceptionally well in terms of scriptwriting, cinematography, sound recording, and editing, and their viewership ratings are all very high."
"However, it has been said since ancient times that you can't have your cake and eat it too. If we have to choose the best, then we can only choose the best of the best. So, what is the best?"
Ya Ya took the envelope from backstage, opened it, and looked surprised. "Wow, it's him! This is really unexpected, Teacher He. Look at this, it's such a surprise!"
He Jiu took the origami and chuckled, "This is quite unexpected. Ladies and gentlemen, do you know who he is?"
A commotion erupted from the audience. It was the same old routine again. This He Jiu, he had one trick after another, it was so frustrating it made you want to punch someone.
He Jiu smiled and said, "The truth is about to be revealed. To find out who it is, please watch the results five minutes after the commercial break. Viewers at home and netizens in the live broadcast room, please don't go away, the answer is about to be revealed."
Viewers at home and online viewers in the live stream were all speechless. For the sake of their sponsor, even He Jiu couldn't resist the urge to abruptly end the story at crucial moments. Many readers who had suffered from the frequent interruptions in Fang Yang's novels cursed him, calling him a shameful character who cut off chapters. They wanted to walk away, but they were also eager to know who the ultimate winner would be and who would receive the Best Screenplay award!
