Chapter 138
Although Xie Xichao has been traveling for the past half month, it does not mean that he is isolated from the world.
Fang Qingqing informed him of his double nominations as soon as possible. She stressed the peacefulness of public opinion, and her words expressed her relief at having won the jackpot, which made Jie Xichao want to laugh.
Considering that his journey had been full of ups and downs, all thanks to the other party's hard work, Xie Xichao comforted his agent with a few words.
But at the same time, he also said directly: "Sister Qing, there is nothing to be surprised about."
"Huh?"
Xie Xichao paused for two seconds and reminded her: "Tao Xia just finished airing not long ago."
Why is public opinion good?
Ultimately, it’s because of the works.
The audience will not have a good impression of an excellent actor based on how many fans he has. But a good character will definitely produce infinite filters.
This is what is often said, an actor speaks through his works.
With works that are strong enough to support him and characters that are likable enough, no matter how unexpected the honors are, even if the rhythm changes a lot, the audience's first reaction will not be "he doesn't deserve it". What's more, this is just a nomination, not the final list of awards.
Therefore, Xie Xichao was not surprised at all when the nomination was revealed to have received all positive reviews.
In comparison, Xie Xichao found the two nominations given to him by Xing Shuo more interesting.
After getting off the plane, Xie Xichao returned to the hotel. The first thing I did was not to rest, but to open Baidu Encyclopedia and start looking up the judges of the Star Award and the previous winning works and roles.
This is a big project. Because what Xie Xichao meant by "watching" was to actually click on the movies and watch them one by one.
As the evening drew to a close, he closed his notebook thoughtfully.
Then, he sent a message to Fang Qingqing: Sister, if we encounter a hot event with a relatively large rhythm, how much extra money will it cost to hire a professional public relations company?
-
When Fang Qingqing rushed over from City A with her styling team, the culprit was already sitting in the living room of the hotel suite eating dinner.
Different from other extravagant and licentious young stars, he remained consistently simple before and after he became famous. In addition to the need to manage my body, I prefer unhealthy foods such as braised chicken, spicy hot pot, and hot pot. As for clothes, I don’t like to wear suits, uniforms or haute couture. I would love to travel around the world with just one T-shirt.
It’s a pity that ideals are full and reality is very skinny. As the only spokesperson for the top luxury brand in the domestic entertainment industry, the clothes he wore to attend the award ceremony were still high-end couture clothes of the previous season, paired with a full set of high-end jewelry. From earrings to rings, all are endorsed products of various companies. Directly divided up all the parts of his body that could be decorated.
Thinking of this, Jie Xichao felt a little painful, and the fried noodles in the plate seemed tasteless.
It was at this moment that Fang Qingqing rushed in, her eyes piercing, and she said to him:
"Are you in love?"
Xie Xichao was putting some fried noodles into his mouth:
“…”
He had no choice but to put down his fork and immediately responded to Fang Qingqing: "No."
Fang Qingqing didn't give him a chance to pick up the fried noodles again, and continued to ask: "So you are making an appointment... Never mind, I don't think you would do this. Is there something wrong with your family or friends?"
She spoke cautiously, then thought of something and looked horrified, "Xi Zhao, you don't want to become a monk, do you?!"
Xie Xichao:? ? ?
He tried to explain: "That Sister Qing..."
"I knew it." Fang Qingqing paced back and forth anxiously. "I knew that promoting that crew and script was superstitious would be a double torture to people's body and mind. No, listen to me, Xi Chao. There are still many things in this world worth cherishing. We can't..."
Xie Xichao could no longer bear it: "Stop."
The world became quiet.
Xie Xichao looked into Fang Qingqing's eyes and said earnestly and sincerely, "I'm not in love, and I don't want to become a nun. Sister, I have nothing."
He added somewhat guiltily, "I'm just asking."
Fang Qingqing looked at him for three seconds and breathed a sigh of relief.
"You scared me to death." She complained, "Why are you asking this?"
Jie Xichen looked up at the sky.
He hesitated to speak, and in the end said nothing, and silently finished the plate of fried noodles in his hand.
On the other hand, Fang Qingqing and the styling team had already prepared the clothes he was going to wear.
Everything was ready, and Fang Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief. Relieved, "Okay, very handsome."
She patted Jie Xichao on the shoulder and said, "Don't think too much. Xingshuo's award ceremony is the most important thing for you in the near future. Let's go well and try to outshine the domestic entertainment industry again. I hope that by then the event will be big enough for us to spend money to hire a PR company."
She paused and said to herself, "Oh, of course, it would be even more exciting if you won the award. But let's not dream about this for now. It's better to do something practical."
She left in a hurry with her styling team. Jie Xichao stayed where he was, smiled after a moment, and sighed helplessly.
He picked up his phone, flipped through the business Weibo posts he had posted in the afternoon, and casually browsed through various major apps, when he came across a post like this one.
[So, what are the chances that the baby will actually get to eat the biscuits sooner or later? Not exaggerating or slandering, this is a Li Tao post qaq]
*
It's you again, LZ. I'm already familiar with you. Your persistent nickname + the hope and optimism in your posts, you really love him.
1L
The key is that the last time I really got the cake, is this the law of attraction? I was shocked
2L
If I saw this kind of post title half a month ago, I would have come in and said it was a dream, but now I am not sure, what if
After the double nominations, I really feel like anything is possible
3L
LZ loves it so much, Xingshuo loves it too, this wave is a two-way rush
4L
Are you guys really serious? I feel like you guys are playing me... Can a normal person come and say something earthly? I'm not sure, Xie Xichao is not going to really win an award, is he? This is his first year acting, and he's only acted in two dramas?
5L
What's wrong with the first year, or two dramas? Although I'm a fun-loving person and don't care, I think your unspoken rules are quite strange. What does this have to do with age and seniority? The youngest TV King winner of Xingshuo was only 27 years old. Is there a big difference between 27 and 24?
And forget about Amaterasu and Qingyang. Xingshuo is famous for being unconventional. He never cares about veteran actors, veteran directors, personal connections, or public opinion. He just gives it to anyone he likes. I thought Xie Xichao's double nomination was enough of a slap in the face.
6L
...Whose face are you slapping? Is there anyone here who is a genuine anti-fan of his? No one cares whether he wins an award or not. Can you please say this kind of rhetoric in the real-name zone? :)
7L
Ouch, why are they arguing? The LZ has already mentioned Li Tao's post. The LZ is quite cute. You can see that he is a very simple and innocent little fan who loves Chao very much. As an old fan, I am so relieved. Hahaha. I hope there will be more people in Chao who simply love him instead of his title.
Let me answer the passerby on the 5th floor. It's not that I'm acting. The main reason is that the fact that Chaoyang got two nominations is really surprising. Just like what sister 3L said, there is a feeling that everything is possible, but as a fan, I don't dare to hold too high expectations. I'll just go with the flow. If I really get one, I'll be very happy. If not, it's also expected. After all, there are many amazing seniors participating in the competition this time. Anyway... well, it's just like rolling the dice. Any result now is acceptable. Hahaha
8L
Throwing dice is such an accurate description, hahaha, I understand, you are worthy of being called Random Number Sister
Indeed, from the moment I got the double nomination, I felt that it was very mysterious.
But personally, I can accept it if it really wins the award. I really like Tao Yanbao and her acting is really good. There are several looks that made me want to suggest that the actor really go see a psychiatrist. Bushi
If they really get it, the pace will probably be very high.
9L
Well, you can tell from the previous few people who used age and qualifications to make excuses. I just want to say that the Qing Dynasty is gone, my family members...
10L
It's annoying, why are you always so malicious towards him?
Just because he has always done well, his fans are very strict with him, and passers-by like to nitpick. Ask yourself, is there anyone in the domestic entertainment industry who is more dedicated and hardworking than him? Why is it that someone with such poor professional ability still has fans doting on him, and when it comes to him, he is led by the rhythm at the slightest disturbance?
I'm rebelling. I want to make a lot of money, win awards, and ascend to heaven in glory, to piss off my haters
11L
Hug sister, don't be angry, I think the expectations are too high. I feel that everyone has witnessed Chao's growth from an amateur, so they will be more strict.
12L
From then on, it was all words of comfort.
Xie Xichao did not have any special feelings about the so-called strict remarks against him. After all, compared to drawing energy from the words of the outside world, he is more accustomed to growing through self-reflection and self-examination.
Therefore, he is grateful to his fans but does not rely on them, and will not cause internal friction because of some remarks. So he didn't look any further.
His original intention of reading this post was for other reasons. This post confirms his thoughts:
That is, the public is actually in a state of confusion and uncertainty about whether he can win the award.
That's enough.
Jie Xichao turned off the screen. Turn off the lights and go to bed.
Xie Xichao got up on time, and the styling team arrived at his room on time to put on makeup for him and take care of everything. After getting dressed up in a rare and grand manner, he got on the car to the venue.
At this moment, all media have already been on high alert.
*
Whether it is Xingshuo, Amaterasu or Qingyang, the grandness of the award ceremony is no less than that of major brands and year-end ceremonies.
The award ceremony was naturally broadcast live. The traffic and popularity remain high every year, so regardless of whether they win an award or not, this is a very good exposure for all the artists who can attend.
Xie Xichao walked the red carpet this time with the crew of "Tao Yan's Summer". In addition to him, the main creative team also includes Xuan Yang, Ji Yan and Zhuang Yinyin.
Xuan Yang originally thought that except for Li Xichao, the others were just there to make up the numbers. Unexpectedly, when they came out, the response was unexpectedly enthusiastic. During the media interview, he was caught and asked several questions, and he was so nervous that his tongue almost got tied.
Of course, the moment they appeared, everyone's attention was first focused on Xichao.
On the red carpet, appearance is the primary productive force.
Ever since Xie Xichao walked the red carpet for the first time, he has been nicknamed the "red carpet killer." The so-called killer is one who indiscriminately attacks anyone within three meters of him.
His skin and bones are top-notch. Over the years, she has become more and more popular, and has lost her original slightly elegant temperament. She is more like a rich flower immersed in a world of material desires, and her every move is calm and composed.
The moment he raised his eyes, even the camera seemed to freeze for a moment, and then a large number of heart-wrenching screams floated across the barrage.
[Ahhhhhhh Chao Chao! elder brother! Brother, you look so handsome today! ! 】
[It’s so beautiful and amazing… It’s so handsome that it drives me crazy… Jie Xichao is amazing in the domestic entertainment industry]
[How did he do that? He is so pure in the drama, but such a big devil outside of it. I love him so much.]
Very directly, the number of viewers soared, reaching the highest point since the show started airing.
Inside the venue, after Xie Xichao finished the interview, he followed the main creative team into the backstage.
He entered the venue almost at the end of the day. Almost moments after he sat down in his seat, the award ceremony began, which was the highlight of the day.
-
One minute before the start, Xuan Yang said, "Xi Zhao, I'm so nervous."
When he said this, his eyes were empty. It really looks like an out-of-body experience.
Jie Xichao remained calm and threw him a mint candy when the camera was not pointed at them.
Proclaim: "..."
Zhuang Yinyin, who witnessed all this, said: "..."
Ji Yan, whose DNA was moved: "..."
Zhuang Yinyin and Ji Yan were not nominated, so they came here just to walk the red carpet. I feel much more relaxed now. Zhuang Yinyin lowered her voice and encouraged Xuan Yang who was eating mint candy stiffly: "Xuan Yang! You can do it! Believe in yourself!"
Xie Xichao said: "Teacher Zhuang, your tone sounds a bit like you are involved in pyramid schemes."
Zhuang Yinyin: “…”
What a loss.
The next moment, the camera was pointed at them, and Zhuang Yinyin quickly put on a dignified smile. The sugar solidified halfway through eating.
The barrage floated by for a while, hahahaha.
【Promotion is so cute】
[I saw that the DPRK government has been promoting the use of sugar in its propaganda. Our DPRK’s method of comforting people has not changed for several years. When we are in doubt, we just use sugar in our propaganda.]
[Hahaha, I remember the backstage footage of the fan meeting]
[The relationship among the crew of "Tao Xia" is really good, and there is no generation gap among the young people hahaha. I hope the crew can have a good harvest today! 】
And the facts did not disappoint the audience's expectations.
"Tao Xia" was nominated for a total of four related awards. One for best actor, one for best director, one for best TV series, and one for best screenwriter.
This is a very impressive achievement for a TV series, especially a web series. It’s just because Jie Xichao was too foul-minded that no one paid attention to it.
At this moment, nominations appeared one after another, and the barrage came back to its senses.
At this time, except for the Best Actor, the rest of the results have come out.
"Tao Xia" missed the Best TV Series award, but Xuan Yang won the Best Director award.
He was still a little dazed when he went on stage, but the mint taste lingering in his mouth brought him back to his senses.
He bit his tongue hard before finding his voice again: "Thank you to the judges, thank you everyone."
The young man's somewhat dull and introverted voice floated in the conference hall. Let everyone be quiet.
Xuan Yang said a lot. He had prepared a speech to accept the award, but he forgot everything the moment he stepped on the stage. So it sounds quite incoherent. But he was also very sincere. He talked about some of the difficulties during the filming process and his own dreams when he was young. Just before leaving the stage, he remembered something and said, "...Special thanks to my leading actor, Jie Xichao."
Jie Xichao raised his eyes and looked at him from a distance.
At that moment, they seemed to have returned to that moonlit night.
The two were covered in dust and dirt. Xie Xichao said to Xuan Yang, "I hope your talent can be seen by everyone."
Resolve evening and morning thoughts. Maybe the moon heard their wishes.
-
This statement brought the barrage to a new climax. The drama fan and the film review fan, who were originally in tears, almost held back the tears and were too tired to complain.
[I said this man... okay]
[This world doesn’t understand how Xi Chao works, it’s so funny, and it reminds me that the crew turned the interview into a meeting to praise Xi Chao]
[Why is no one brushing? I’ll go first, brother and sister-in-law 99! This time szd! 】
Xuan Yang walked off the stage with a dazed look on his face. He sat next to Xie Xichao, who lowered his voice and said, "Congratulations, director."
Xuan Yang laughed twice.
Jie Xichao smiled and continued to look at the stage.
After the Best Director award, several other awards were presented. Soon, it was the turn of the Best Supporting Actor.
Almost instantly, the atmosphere of the barrage became tense.
*
Although most people felt that the award was well-deserved, when his name was actually announced, many of Xie Xichao's fans realized one thing at the same time:
That's the best actor award, maybe no more.
It's rare for a show to win multiple awards unless it's a real hit. This is of course inertial thinking, but "Tao Xia" is too special.
First of all, it is a web drama. Secondly, it is a low-budget niche film. The director is even a newcomer.
Finally, this is Xingshuo.
The popularity of "Tao Yan's Summer" has remained high in the past half month, and emotionally, fans of the show of course hope that the crew can win as many awards as possible. But their conscience told them that this should be difficult.
Loss is inevitable. Many fans have also prepared themselves mentally and are cheering each other on the super topic.
"It's okay, baby Jingyin is still here."
"But there's a veteran actor in the supporting role this year... I feel like that role is also really good, ahhhh"
"Jingyin Jingyin, you must take it! Please!"
--But.
No.
When the nominations for Best Supporting Actor came out, there was an uproar at the scene and in the comments. But in the end, the name that was called out was not Jie Xichao's.
The applause at the scene was as warm as usual. The senior came on stage to give a speech of thanks. Jie Xichao's fans frantically reminded everyone in the barrage to respect their seniors. The situation was barely under control, but the super topic had already fainted from crying.
【Ahhhh my Kei-on TT】
[Although, but, ahhhhhh! 】
[Come on, I want to hug you... Baby Chao Chao, you are so beautiful today, Mommy loves you qaq]
The results are out, miracles won't happen again.
The most likely award goes to him. It was not until this moment that all the fans realized that even though they knew it was impossible, they were still looking forward to it in their hearts.
Expect good returns for your efforts.
They hope that their idols, who have worked diligently and put countless efforts into their roles, can get what they want.
expect……
A miracle happened.
Some people were trying to comfort him, but no one dared to encourage him anymore, saying things like the best actor was still there. The super topic is overwhelming. I don’t know if the camera was causing trouble, but it cut to Xichao for a long time.
-
He is still very calm and beautiful. He is in exceptionally good shape today. Every frame can be used as a wallpaper and every animated picture is going viral on the Internet.
He is a loser in everyone's eyes, even though this failure is still glorious. He clapped his opponent earnestly. Everyone saw the sincere congratulations in his eyes.
And at this moment, even his most sincere hater actually felt a little pity for such a beautiful and sincere face.
The award ceremony was still going on, and the name "Jie Xichao" had already become a hot search. Fang Qingqing was crying in the car while frantically sending instructions to the public relations department on her phone. The principle I uphold is: "Even if I lose, I have to lose in the most beautiful way! Fill the entry square with pictures for me! Go all out!"
——And the award for Best Actor came at this time.
No expectations, no foreshadowing. The Internet is already mourning the loss of Jie Xichao’s award, but due to the delay in the picture, the result has not yet been heard in the comments. There was only silence in the venue, and everyone heard the name following the Best Actor award. They turned their heads stiffly and saw that a young man with a slender figure like a bamboo and a gentle and elegant demeanor had stood up in the middle row of seats.
The big screen began playing clips of the Best Actor nominees.
On the screen, under the paulownia tree, next to the handsome boy is an orange and white cat.
The result is decided.
This year's Best Actor Award winners:
Tao Yan-Xie Xichao.
