Chapter 488 Grand Slam!
Speaking of which, there is still a lot of fun in this year's Golden Eagle Awards.
The organizer in Jiangxi completely split the actor awards into two parts: "Strength Award" and "Popularity Award". The original intention was to make up for the mistakes of the previous session and reduce the controversy of netizens.
But the results were not satisfactory. The fans of the actors nominated for the "Popularity Award" still fought with each other and voted frantically for their brothers and sisters.
It was okay for the male actors. Wang Yibo has always occupied the first place from the beginning. Although 740,000 votes were cleared later, he still won the "Audience Favorite Actor" award with a huge foundation of nearly 2.6 million votes.
In comparison, the battle situation on the actress side was too ups and downs.
At the beginning, Tan Songyun took the second place with a popularity advantage of 400,000 votes. Because the first place Zhao Liying had been elected "Golden Eagle Goddess" before, most fans and audiences thought that this year's "Goddess Throne" must belong to Tan Songyun.
Unexpectedly, at the last moment before the voting deadline, Song Qian, whose performance had been mediocre before, suddenly began to see a massive increase in votes. From more than 300,000 to more than 900,000, she "came from behind" and won the first place.
In this way, the crown of this year's "Golden Eagle Goddess" naturally fell on Song Qian's head.
Tan Songyun's fans were naturally unhappy with this result, and they complained to the organizers that their opponents had voted.
It's a pity that Tan Songyun's core fans are few in number and weak in combat effectiveness. Most of them are new fans attracted by the hit "Under the Brocade" at the beginning of the year. How could they be the opponents of the "Xiangcai Baby" (the name of Song Qian's fans) who have been fighting in Korean and domestic entertainment for many years.
According to the common development in the industry, it is difficult for such things to have any results. Even if you want to attack, there is not much heat.
But this time is a little different, because Song Qian's fans voted too hard, directly surpassing Zhao Liying, who was originally ranked first.
Now the "fireflies" (the name of Zhao Liying's fans) are not happy. We don't care if you guys compete for the "Golden Eagle Goddess". Anyway, my family can't take it again. But the problem is that according to the award selection rules, the popularity vote number determines the winner of the "Audience Favorite Actress" award.
Although they all belong to the round-faced sweet type, the fighting power of the fans of the "85 Flowers" is not as weak as that of the "90 Flowers". They all fought their way out of the bloody storm.
On the day when the "Golden Eagle Goddess" candidate was announced, the "fireflies" began to gather and attack the Golden Eagle Awards official and "coriander baby", and the momentum was extremely huge.
The Golden Eagle was already worried about the previous session, and when they saw this situation, they decisively admitted their defeat. Just after it was announced that Song Qian won the "Golden Eagle Goddess", an announcement was issued that there was vote-rigging during the voting period, which also triggered the subsequent vote dehydration.
After removing the vote-rigging data, Zhao Liying and Tan Songyun's votes increased instead of decreasing, and still maintained 800,000 and 400,000 votes.
Song Qian's data is a bit miserable. Dehydration removed more than 500,000 votes, and the actual number of votes was only 370,000 or 380,000, ranking third.
It can only be said that only after the tide recedes can we know who is swimming naked.
Zhao Liying's fans are very happy that their sister is still the first and the award is firmly in hand.
Song Qian's fans are silent on the surface, but secretly happy. Anyway, the title of "Golden Eagle Goddess" has been obtained. After three to five years, netizens will have long forgotten the disputes of this session, and the only honor they have obtained is real.
Only Tan Songyun has suffered a loss.
There is no way. The organizer has announced the candidate for "Golden Eagle Goddess", and the makeup photos and promotional posters have been posted all over the Internet. It is impossible to tell everyone now that our votes have been inflated. Let's choose again.
The Golden Eagle Award itself is also very depressed, because the "Golden Eagle Goddess" has nothing to do with them. It is just that Mango TV, the organizer, came up with it to promote the bundled Golden Eagle TV Festival.
The key is that this thing cannot be explained to the outside world. Ordinary audiences don't care whether you are an "award" or a "TV festival". Anyway, they are all named "Golden Eagle" and they can be scolded together.
The organizers can only try to minimize the impact of this incident, cancel all the promotional resources that were provided in the past few sessions, and pretend that nothing happened.
So as Meng Bai said, facing this situation, the Golden Eagle Awards really doesn't want any more trouble anywhere.
Therefore, no matter what the considerations are, it is impossible to go against the expectation of "The Bad Kids" Grand Slam, which many viewers and netizens are looking forward to.
"I announce that the winners of the 30th China TV Golden Eagle Award for 'Outstanding TV Series' are, "A Flowing River", "The Longest Day in Chang'an", "All Is Well"... and "The Bad Kids"!"
"Wow——"
Applause and noise rang out at the scene, even covering the loud music in the speakers.
Although this result was expected, when the "Grand Slam" really appeared in a web drama, it still made people feel very emotional.
Meng Bai stood up, smiled and thanked the crowd around him, and then walked onto the stage with the other award winners of the winning works.
After receiving the "Golden Eagle Cup" from the award presenter, he stood silently aside and waited for the others to give their acceptance speeches. Several people finished speaking one after another, until finally, the microphone was handed to him.
Looking at the vast number of guests and cameras below the stage, Meng Bai chuckled and spoke.
"Thanks to the Golden Eagle Awards, "The Bad Kids" won this award. Everyone should know that this trophy can be said to be one of the most important trophies we have won this year."
"From 2014 to today, online dramas have gone through seven years. In these seven years, online dramas have gotten rid of the impression of "low-cost, shoddy, and skirting the line" and have become an indispensable part of today's film and television industry."
"As an online drama practitioner, I thank the audience for their love, thank the official support, and thank more and more mainstream awards for recognizing us. I hope that in the next seven years, my colleagues and I can produce more high-quality domestic film and television works for everyone, demonstrating the country's cultural confidence. Thank you everyone!"
After the "Excellent TV Series" award ceremony, the entire ceremony only had one "Best TV Series". This award was won by the main theme "Diplomatic Storm", which can be regarded as no objection from all parties.
Unlike the previous award ceremonies, because "The Bad Kids" only had one nomination tonight, only Meng Bai was present.
"Congratulations, Mr. Meng."
Zhang Ruoyun came over with his assistant: "Your speech was well said. I almost cried when I heard it."
There was also some emotion in his tone.
When "Soul Ferry" came out, the industry directly called 2014 the "first year of online drama." This drama not only opened up Meng Bai's career, but also marked a turning point in Zhang Ruoyun's career.
"So, we have known each other for seven years." Meng Bai said: "Alas, before I knew it, you are about to have a child. I finally put my mind at ease. That's good."
"Fuck, you are taking advantage of me again!"
Zhang Ruoyun cursed with a smile, and put his arm around Meng Bai's shoulders: "Let's go. I'm hungry after sitting all night. You can treat me to a midnight snack later."
"Why?"
"You won an award!"
"Hey, your reason... is quite convincing!"
