"Okay," Zhou Yiyang calmed down. After all, acting isn't like singing; it requires experience and learning. While being nominated for Best Actress overnight sounds great, it's still incredibly difficult. "I think newcomers will definitely get a nomination."
After a while, the four girls began to comfort the others:
"It's normal not to be nominated," Tang Yue said nonchalantly, "After all, we're a purely commercial film, and a youth campus film, the type the judges don't like."
"Besides, we're an ensemble cast," Su Yin said, having worked with Zhang Yingyuan on a film before, so she could speak the technical terms fluently. "There's not much room for improvement, so it's understandable that we didn't get nominated."
"Anyway, our business performance is very good, this is already a success." Lin Xuan'er looked at the problem from a different angle.
"Yes," Wang Xingrui nodded in agreement. "We are still young and can always be nominated in the future."
At this time, Guan Fei subconsciously pointed out the mistake: "But there is only one newcomer award, and you will not have the opportunity to be nominated in the future."
Zhou Yiyang, on the other hand, had already cheered up: "It's just a newcomer award, what's the big deal! In the future, you will each hold a Best Actress award, that would be awesome!"
As for the biggest award, Best Picture, "Moonlight" lived up to expectations and was not nominated.
Zhou Yiyang had seen the five nominated films, and he disagreed with the idea that any of them was better than Moonlight Girl. However, he had to admit that youth campus films did have inherent advantages in terms of subject matter.
Since the establishment of the Golden Rooster Awards, only one film has been nominated, and that was because the films were generally not good that year.
The five nominated films are mainly art films, which are more in line with the judges' tastes.
Although only Qiao Zishan was nominated for several important awards, no one else won any.
However, when Zhou Yiyang continued to look at the list, he unexpectedly found something surprising.
"Moonlight Girl" was nominated for two awards, Best Editing and Best Screenplay, which is a breakthrough in youth campus films.
"Hurry, hurry," Zhou Yiyang immediately ordered Guan Fei, "Have the art team quickly make a big-character poster to congratulate 'Moonlight Girl' for its nominations for Best Editing and Best Screenplay. At the end, take this opportunity to promote our variety show!"
Guan Fei immediately understood and admired Zhou Yiyang's roundabout way of saving the country.
Of course, Yue Shao and Luo Chen were nominated for the Best Interlude for "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", which was what they expected.
And compared with the other four competitors, it was no surprise that the award was theirs.
"So that's how it looks," Tang Yue and Su Yin both cheered up. While it might seem odd to win a music award at a film festival, it was a Golden Rooster after all, so they could brag about it. "We're definitely stronger in music!"
"Who said that?" Zhou Yiyang was very confident. He still had the trump card of "Yi Yi" in his hand! "Next year, our Yiyang Entertainment will definitely produce a movie that sweeps the three major awards!"
Except for Bai Yangyu, who was in the know, everyone else thought Zhou Yiyang was joking.
Only Lin Xuan'er carefully read through the entire list, and unexpectedly found a "slippery fish".
She shook Wang Xingrui's hand and excitedly said to Su Yin, "Xiao Xiao Su, your short film was also nominated?"
Everyone was stunned, and Zhou Yiyang was even more surprised: "Short film? The Golden Rooster Awards didn't have a short film award before!"
Bai Yangyu did find a related statement: "It seems that at the beginning of the year, the Golden Rooster Awards said that they wanted to enhance their international influence and connect with the world, so they created several new awards. This Best Short Film is one of them. I remember there was also a Best Foreign Language Film. Unfortunately, all the entries were from Southeast Asian countries..."
Zhou Yiyang thought this was a good thing.
Today, the most influential film festivals in Asia are the Tokyo Film Festival and the Busan Film Festival. If the three can catch up, it will be a great boost to China's cultural output.
"Not bad, not bad," Zhou Yiyang was very happy. "I have to call and congratulate Director Zhang! Xiao Xiaosu is great. I think this award is a sure thing for you."
Su Yin blushed, but judging by her joyful eyes, she was indeed happy: "Brother Yang, please thank Director Zhang for me. If it weren't for his excellent filming, I wouldn't have been nominated!"
Tang Yue tutted her words and pretended to be jealous: "Look at what you said, as if you have already won the award! Brother Yang, when are we going to shoot the new movie? I must give a good performance this time, I want to win the Best Actress award!"
Zhou Yiyang laughed, knowing Tang Yue was joking. But he could also tell that the four of them had become more ambitious after this incident.
Whether being an idol, a singer or an actor, Zhou Yiyang is very greedy and hopes that they can achieve the best.
By the evening, the hot searches were dominated by the nominations for the Golden Rooster Awards.
Even Star Media has calmed down and is honestly promoting the films and actors that have been nominated.
What is surprising is that Yi Yang Entertainment, which has five nominations, has surpassed the two major companies, Hailang Entertainment and Hongtao Entertainment, and become a dark horse in this Golden Rooster Award.
Zhang Yingyuan was quite calm about his nomination: "All the films I've made have been nominated. The competition for short films is even smaller. If I hadn't been nominated, how would I have gotten by?"
Zhou Yiyang on the other end of the phone always felt that Director Zhang was showing off, but he couldn't refute it! "Our little Su, that is, Su Yin, is also very grateful to you!"
"Thank me? No need, that's her own reputation. I didn't tell you, but when I submitted this film to a competition abroad, many well-known filmmakers came to ask me the name of this mysterious oriental girl. Xiao Zhou, you're very successful as a boss. But I still dare to suggest that you don't waste Su Yin's talent. A good actor should appear on fewer variety shows, stay away from the audience, and maintain a sense of mystery."
