Fang Yang naturally had no idea that a chance creation would lead his future mother-in-law to label him a sly little devil. Even if he did know, Fang Yang wouldn't change his mind. As a genius director, Wang Jialiang was unmatched in the filming of martial arts films. Fang Yang planned to hand over all martial arts films to Wang Jialiang in the future, making the best use of everyone's talents!
Zhou Xin gave a brief but enthusiastic acceptance speech on stage, then accepted the trophy from the presenter Zhou Yue. She walked down happily and boasted to Fang Yang, "Look, I've already won a Best Actress award for my first film! I'm sure I'll be able to win Best Actress in the future!"
Fang Yang gave a thumbs up, "You're amazing! You're a true role model for us all. Thumbs up!"
Zhou Xin was a little unhappy when she saw Fang Yang's obviously perfunctory expression. She put the trophy on the table. Fang Yang didn't care about the Best Newcomer Award, but Zhou Yi and the other two were very curious. When they saw Zhou Xin put the trophy on the table, they hurriedly picked it up and carefully admired it, and even took pictures of each other.
At this moment, He Jiu was already on stage introducing the nominees for Best New Actor. Neither of the two male leads in "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" were newcomers, so they were naturally ineligible for this award. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" didn't use any newcomers at all, so Fang Yang didn't pay attention to this award either.
On the contrary, Fu Ming's "Loser Men and Women" used a lot of newcomers. Unfortunately, "Loser Men and Women" is not a serious drama, so it will not be included in the award selection. Fu Ming's male actors are destined to be disappointed.
After the Best Newcomer Award, there are a few smaller awards. Although they are considered smaller awards, they still have value in this niche industry because they are backed by the Golden Eagle Award!
Just like Jin Dahai, who was standing on the podium at this moment, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He stammered for a long time before gradually regaining his composure with He Jiu's encouragement. "To achieve what I have today, I would first like to thank my boss, Mr. Fang Yang!"
Jin Dahai focused his gaze on Fang Yang, and the cameraman also turned the camera on him, projecting Fang Yang's image onto the big screen. This time, Fang Yang finally made his first appearance among his television colleagues, no longer just someone whose name was known but whose face was never seen.
"Wow, he's so young and incredibly handsome, the kind of handsome that exudes a sunny charm. Just like what's said online, he's a young man who graduated only a year ago. I never expected him to achieve such great success, especially considering he has no connections or funds. He started from scratch and built his success entirely on his talent. He's probably a once-in-a-century young talent!"
The people at the scene were mostly looking to get to know Fang Yang. Putting aside everything else, if they could get some of the adaptation rights to Fang Yang's novels, they could expand them infinitely and make more TV series and movies. This is something every successful director wants.
People at the scene wanted to get to know him, and those watching on TV and the live broadcast wanted to know him even more. Fang Yang was famous, but the opportunities for exposure were very few, so most people's knowledge of Fang Yang was still superficial. Opportunities like today were rare!
"Oh my, I can finally see the God of the Sea in person! He really is someone who can beat most actors. If the God of the Sea were to star in a movie, I would definitely cast him two or three times. He's someone who can easily outshine an entire film crew."
"Stop dreaming. Fang Yang has never studied acting. Aren't you asking him to do something he shouldn't?"
"Does one have to have studied acting to be able to act? The foreign actor hasn't studied acting, but he's already acted in two movies, and each one is better than the last. How do you explain that?"
"Filming and directing are two different things. If you can't direct well, there's the assistant director and the entire crew. It's not the work of one person."
"A badass life needs no reason. Gods are omnipotent. How can you, a mere mortal, possibly understand everything about gods?"
"Ugh, they're all brainless fans, completely unreasonable, I'm outta here!"
At this moment, Jin Dahai's voice reached the ears of everyone present and was also broadcast across the country on television: "As everyone knows, our Jinhai Animation Company was once a nationally renowned animation production company, but in recent years it has been declining. Why? It's not that our production level has declined, but that our thinking has reached a dead end. Without innovative thinking, we will eventually die!"
"But thankfully, just when our company was on the verge of bankruptcy, Mr. Fang came and pulled us out of the abyss. You may not know this, but Mr. Fang is also a master cartoonist, at least our company is one that everyone can match, haha."
"Later, following Mr. Fang's instructions, we produced two animated TV series, 'Calabash Brothers' and 'Tom and Jerry,' as well as the animated film 'Frozen.' In fact, all the creative ideas and designs for these three animated films came from Mr. Fang. So, without Mr. Fang, we wouldn't have everything we have today. Thank you, Mr. Fang, for making my biggest dream come true!"
At this moment, He Jiu, microphone in hand, stood in the center of the stage and addressed the audience in a low voice: "After a period of prosperity, domestic animation has fallen into a trough in the past few years. This is due to both the shortcomings of those of us in the animation industry and the influence of the broader environment. The reason for adding the Best Animated Feature award this year is because the country needs such excellent works to create a better growth environment for countless future generations. Children are the flowers of the motherland, the future of the motherland, and the successors we need to protect."
"We also need more gardeners like Mr. Jin and Mr. Fang to nurture and guide the future of our nation's flowers, and to make the animation industry bigger and stronger. As everyone has seen, Frozen has grossed over six billion dollars worldwide, which shows that this market is not lacking, but rather has unlimited potential. Here, we hope that through this award, more animation practitioners can focus on creating better animations, which can then go abroad and reach the world!"
Amidst enthusiastic applause, He Jiu solemnly presented the trophy to Jin Dahai. This was the first award for animation at the Golden Eagle TV Art Festival, marking the beginning of the nation's focus on animation and perhaps the first year of a new era for Chinese animation—a truly significant event!
Fang Yang didn't expect He Jiu to speak so solemnly. Perhaps there was a new policy from above. It turned out that because the market was bad, animation production companies couldn't make any money from the animations they produced. After a year of hard work, they might not even be able to keep their salaries. In the end, they could only rely on a little government subsidy to get by.
Fang Yang understood this perfectly well. Just like the two animated series "Calabash Brothers" and "Tom and Jerry," the price that Shanghai TV purchased them for didn't even cover the production costs of the two animated series. However, Fang Yang insisted on producing them because he didn't make money from selling the animated series at all. His real goal was to make money from merchandise!
However, not all animation production companies have such vision. Even though Fang Yang made a fortune from these three animations, the vast majority of animation production companies still suffered huge losses and struggled to survive!
