Fang Yang was puzzled when he didn't see Jin Dahai at first, but after Jin Dahai stepped down from the stage and took his seat, he realized that the distance between them was quite far, so it was not surprising that he hadn't seen him.
After Best Animation, there's the Best Sitcom award, which is a relatively new award that has emerged in recent years.
The origins of sitcoms can be traced back to American soap operas. They are a form of television drama primarily used in a lighthearted and humorous way to pass the time. Sitcoms generally appear in theatrical form, and the plots are often based on relatable and familiar topics from everyday life.
In China, since a group of graduates from the United States introduced this concept, it has enjoyed more than 20 years of popularity. However, in recent years, it has declined and fallen into a creative slump. But the lighthearted and humorous creative style of sitcoms is what workers under the heavy pressure of modern society need. Therefore, the last Golden Eagle Awards proposed this award to encourage film and television companies to pay attention to it.
Like animated films, sitcoms are in a rather awkward position. They don't make much money, so people aren't very interested in investing in them. At most, they're just a way for new directors to practice, so the quality varies greatly.
However, stress relief is something the country encourages, so the introduction of this award is also for this purpose. It aims to draw the attention of film and television companies, encourage them to follow the trend, and as more people make films, some excellent works will naturally stand out!
As expected, Fu Ming won the crown with "Loser Men and Women". At this moment, Fang Yang and his Yuewen Entertainment Media received the attention of everyone present, in front of the TV station, and on the live broadcast website.
To date, Yuewen Entertainment Media has won three out of just four trophies, and this domineering attitude has stunned everyone.
"No way, no way, is Yuewen Entertainment Media going to sweep most of the awards tonight?"
"That's impossible. These are all small awards now. Logically speaking, small awards are just for consolation, and you'll almost certainly miss out on the big prizes later on."
"What do you mean by 'no chance'? With the record-breaking ratings of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' you think it'll miss out on the big awards? You'll be rolling on your head tomorrow!"
"Damn, you're absolutely right. And those eight songs, how could we forget about the best song, the best lyrics, and the best composition? That's a divine album that can crush everything!"
"The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes. So, who else besides Guo Jing and Huang Rong can compete with them for the Best Actor and Best Actress awards?"
"Director Wang is definitely a worthy winner as well!"
"I saw the original members of the Black Panther band. I heard they've joined Yuewen Entertainment Media now, so does that mean they've been nominated for the accompanying music category as well?"
"It's not a nomination, it's a sure thing that I've secured the prize!"
"Hey, if you calculate it this way, more than half of the awards are already in Yuewen Entertainment Media's pocket. Isn't this Golden Eagle Awards just for Yuewen Entertainment Media?"
"Damn, thinking about it this way is really terrifying. This is a film and television company that's dominating the whole country. If this continues, what will happen if people don't come to award ceremonies in the future? They'll just be sparring partners anyway, just like the Olympics now, in the table tennis event?"
"That's true, but does that mean we can't allow others to produce better TV dramas? It's a race to the top. Only with a sense of shame can we strive to improve and produce better TV dramas. Look at what we've produced in recent years; it's embarrassing to watch. If such TV dramas were to win awards, it would be a tragedy for China!"
"Wow, the person upstairs is really talented! I'm so excited listening to this. I wish I could star in a TV series tomorrow. It's much better than those zombie-faced characters, right?"
"Haha, what you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless."
"To borrow a line from 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' meeting Fang Yang can ruin one's life. I wonder if any of you in the audience feel the same way about the saying 'Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?'"
"Wow, the person upstairs is truly talented! I'm speechless!"

Fang Yang missed out on several subsequent awards, such as Best TV Program Host and Outstanding TV Program Host, which were awarded to internal TV station hosts and had no place in Fang Yang's heart. Not to mention TV Documentary Awards, TV Documentary Special Prize, Best TV Documentary Award, and TV Documentary Individual Awards.
Fang Yang was happy to remain on the sidelines and watch from the sidelines. He naturally understood the principle that the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. If you give me everything, the game loses its meaning. Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone; this is an age-old truth!
As the awards were presented, the atmosphere in the audience became lively. The winners were beaming with joy, while those who didn't win weren't discouraged. The opportunities were there, and as long as it was fair and just, they could try again next time if they lost.
Knowing that there was little chance tonight, Zhou Xin put her mind at ease and chatted with Zhou Yi, Zhu Qi, and Liu Kexin about what had happened since they last met. After working together on "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty," all three of them had found new opportunities. Zhou Yi was now playing the male lead in a period drama, and his scenes were almost finished. He had taken a few days off to come here.
Although she knew there wouldn't be any awards, just being able to walk the red carpet and gain exposure in such a grand setting would still greatly benefit her popularity. Therefore, her agent was very supportive and had to plead with the director for a long time before getting approval.
Zhu Qi is doing just as well, currently starring as a male lead. Liu Kexin is slightly less successful, having just landed a supporting role, but her situation is much better than before.
It's fair to say that the popularity of "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" made the lead and supporting actors famous. Now, if they just focus on starring in a few more excellent TV series, they're sure to become famous in the television industry. So the three of them are extremely grateful to Fang Yang!
Speaking of Huang Xiaoping, Fang Yang realized that Huang Xiaoping was not having an easy time. After directing "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", Huang Xiaoping's rank rose thanks to the show's popularity. However, he later directed another TV series on his own, which did not receive a good response. In addition, Shanghai TV changed its leadership, and Huang Xiaoping's current position is in an awkward position.
Fang Yang understood. Huang Xiaoping was not an isolated case. When Ouyang Ming was in power, Huang Xiaoping was highly valued and naturally achieved good results with the support of resources. However, now that a new emperor has brought a new court, there is no support of resources or the power to choose scripts. With multiple checks and balances, it is not so easy to achieve the same results as before.
Moreover, the best job for working in a TV station is to direct large-scale variety shows. Now that Huang Xiaoping has lost power and has no large-scale variety shows under his control, as well as no well-received TV dramas, his status has naturally plummeted.
You see, TV stations have a shortage of everything except directors. With so many program teams at Shanghai TV station, each with its own director, and after years of directing, their skill levels are all fairly even.
