The nominations for Best Picture were almost identical to those for Best Actor. Of the films nominated for Best Actor, four were also nominated for Best Picture, with the only one that failed to be nominated being "The Vanishing Murderer".
This is also considered one of the obstacles to Ji Yan winning this year's Changkong Award.
The selection criteria for the Sky Award have always been unknown, but looking at the past awards, generally speaking, if a film is nominated for Best Film, the actors have a greater chance of winning Best Actor and Best Actress.
After all, the work and the actors complement each other.
Of course, Ji Yan faces another obstacle, which may even be the biggest obstacle – his age.
The Changkong Awards have never had a Best Actor winner under the age of 30, let alone Ji Yan, who is still several years away from turning 30.
"But the fact that 'The Vanishing Murder' was not nominated for Best Film, yet Ji Yan was nominated for Best Actor, is enough to prove that the Changkong Awards favored him."
"From 'Youthful Love Poems' to 'The Vanished Murder,' Ji Yan has won the Changkong Award with two different works, truly deserving the title of the leading figure of the younger generation."
On Weibo, the hashtag "Ji Yan nominated for the Chang Kong Award" has been trending. Even viewers who don't usually care about who wins the Chang Kong Award are aware of its significance, especially since this isn't the first time Ji Yan has been nominated for the award.
With three films and three nominations, Ji Yan's success rate surpasses that of many veteran filmmakers.
Of course, this is also related to the overall decline in the development of the younger generation in the film industry.
Currently, the most influential filmmakers in the eyes of the audience are still the generation of Xi Ming. Taking Xi Ming as an example, he is a typical powerful actor who has won both box office success and awards, and his audience recognition is also very high. However, after Xi Ming, there has been no true film superstar, especially among young actors. Even though the film industry is trying its best to cultivate actors with public influence and excellent acting skills, such actors still have not emerged.
This may be because there are too many temptations in the entertainment industry. Very few actors are willing to spend time on their acting skills, and even fewer are willing to carefully study the script and seriously immerse themselves in the role. Actors prefer to participate in popular adaptations that already have fans, thereby leveraging the influence of the role itself to enhance their own recognition.
Newcomers in the film industry often have a somewhat aloof and unpopular style. Their works may not be liked by audiences, even if their acting skills are recognized by professionals.
Now, the film "The Vanishing Murder" has brought Ji Yan into the public eye with its outstanding box office performance, and his three nominations for the Chang Kong Awards have further deepened the impression of his excellent acting skills in the minds of the audience.
...
However, Ji Yan and Ye Ying remained completely calm. After all, he had experienced failure more than once. Although he was nominated again this year, in terms of competitiveness, "The Vanishing Murder" might not be stronger than "Young Love Poems".
At least "Young Love Poems" has the prestigious name of Zhu Shuguang, and the film's artistry and visuals are representative of cinematic aesthetics. In contrast, "The Vanishing Murder" cannot compare to "Young Love Poems" in terms of visuals and narrative pacing. As for the script, although Fan Cong was nominated for Best Original Screenplay, "The Vanishing Murder" is not a positive work, and it is slightly inferior in theme compared to the other nominated films.
In addition, Lu Ming's directing skills are relatively immature and not as mature as his Best Film nominees such as "The Wind Destroys the Border" and "Towards Dawn". Therefore, Ji Yan's disadvantage is still very obvious.
No matter how much the marketing accounts and various media outlets hyped him up, Ji Yan himself remained very clear-headed.
Having many nominations does not guarantee an award. In the history of the Chang Kong Award, there are many who have been nominated for several years without winning.
Therefore, when the media requested an interview with Ji Yan, DW Entertainment remained very low-key and showed no intention of using Ji Yan's nomination for marketing purposes.
"You really think there's no chance?" Fang Yu frowned. "I think you acted very well."
"Don't give up hope before the results are announced." Lu Wei gently patted Ji Yan's back. "Even if you don't win an award, just keep trying for the next movie."
Xie Mingxuan, who was focused on watching the cartoon, also took a moment to clench his fist at Ji Yan.
Old Xie was completely infected by them with his habit of watching cartoons, and now he has become a loyal viewer of "Tom and Jerry". However, he is different from Ji Yan and Fang Yu. At least Ji Yan and Fang Yu would watch action-packed comics like "Dragon Ball" and "One Piece", but Old Xie's favorite works seem to be developing into children's animation.
Of course, Ji Yan and the others also knew that Lao Xie didn't really like watching cartoons. He just relaxed when he was tired of writing songs. He would watch cartoons to relax, and he would also go through those old jokes. He would share them in the group chat with great enthusiasm, but Ji Yan and the others would always be disappointed by those jokes.
It's so cold.
"I know," Ji Yan said calmly. "I've done my best, but judging this matter isn't my responsibility."
"Just keep it up, Teacher Ji."
"Um!"
Of course, the "Wings" group went to see "The Vanished Murderer." When they saw the ending, the others were really stunned by Ji Yan's chilling performance. They had also seen "Young Love Poems" and "I, Nameless," and the purity of the characters Ji Yan portrayed in those two films made his performance in "The Vanished Murderer" all the more frightening.
Fang Yu and the others gained a clearer understanding of Ji Yan's acting skills.
They gained a deeper understanding of just how outstanding a talent their teammate was.
Countless geniuses have emerged in the entertainment industry. Stars who live in the same era as these geniuses are often tragic figures. Under the dazzling light of geniuses, they seem to be relegated to mere supporting roles. The efforts of ordinary people seem to be no match for the flashes of brilliance of geniuses.
However, there were no self-conscious people in "Wings". They recognized Ji Yan's talent early on, whether in singing or acting. But Ji Yan's talent was not a reason for them to admit defeat. Moreover, because they were teammates, they knew better than others how hard Ji Yan worked - his hard work was also a source of motivation for them.
Moreover, the group firmly believed that even if Ji Yan missed the nomination again this time, he would eventually get it.
Ji Yan is someone who will persevere once he has a goal, whether it's music or film.
The other side never admits defeat.
...
The Changkong Awards ceremony will still be held in May. Ji Yan has handed over all the arrangements for attending the awards ceremony to Ye Ying, while he continues to work on the album "Mountains and Seas". The album cover shoot, music video shoot, and dance design are all things that the members need to do personally.
DW Entertainment also revealed the release date of "Wings'" new album to fans.
"Looking forward to the new album!!!"
"Wings are finally releasing a new album! We need a new album, a concert, and a variety show!!"
"Everyone's been so busy lately. Is Teacher Ji going to film a new movie again? The Wings Troupe has also been invited to the Sky Award this time."
Although Wings has been posting on their official Weibo account much more frequently than when the album "Mist" was released, fans still feel it's not enough. Compared to other idols who frequently appear on variety shows and commercial performances, Wings' appearances are really few. Although the achievements Wings has made since the album "Mist" are enough for fans to brag about for a long time, fans still want to see them more often and see them at events more often.
There's something amazing about "Wings"—they don't have any fan site administrators.
The term "station sister" refers to a big fan who is responsible for taking beautiful photos of their idols in various occasions or managing fan sites.
When "Yi" first debuted, they had fan site admins who were eagerly waiting for "Yi" to become popular so they could make a fortune. Unfortunately, not long after their debut, "Yi" became the target of ridicule across the internet because of Ji Yan's lack of effort, and many fans left. The number of fan site admins who diligently took beautiful pictures of them also decreased.
But back then, fan site administrators still existed.
But later, Wings made a comeback with the album "Mist" and established their status in the music scene with "At 23". Their fan site admins became fewer and fewer, and eventually disappeared. This was partly due to Wings and DW Entertainment intentionally guiding fans, and partly because Wings' activities were too infrequent.
The "wing" design seems to be trending towards "blue".
Which idol doesn't participate in variety shows all year round? Even if they do have commercial performances, they are mostly large-scale events like New Year's Eve concerts and Night galas, or cross-industry events like the Chang Kong Awards. In those kinds of occasions, even the most enthusiastic fans have to restrain themselves a bit.
Moreover, media photos from these large-scale events are usually released very quickly, and celebrities often take photos together. For example, Ji Yan and Xi Ming took a photo together at the last Changkong Awards, and "Yi" took a photo with Mi Lin and Qi Zhao at the Night Awards. Fans are quite restrained when editing photos, after all, the other party is a big shot in the industry, and they can't offend the big shots in the industry just to highlight "Yi".
Over time, the fansite admins basically lost their business.
It's no exaggeration to say that they don't even have as many photos as the paparazzi. At least the paparazzi can capture scenes of a member of "Yi" going downstairs to throw out the trash, while the fan site admins can't even get airport photos.
It's not that they didn't work hard enough, but...!
"Yi" flies an absurdly few times a year!
All I can say is that "Wing" is not friendly to those who are obsessed with appearances at all, but for those who are career-oriented, every day is a carnival!
What does the release of Wings' new album mean?
This means that from the day the album is released, they can constantly update the album's sales data and its ranking on the sales charts!
The fans are so happy for "Yi" because they can earn a little money every day.
"Tsubasa's" concerts represent the most breathtaking live performances they can hear—especially when "Tsubasa" is competing with other idols. Fans only need to post comparison photos of the two groups' performances, and that speaks for itself.
The existence of "wings" often represents a form of dimensional reduction attack.
In short, being a fan of "Wing" is incredibly satisfying, and the more you fan, the more satisfying it is.
