"River and Mountain Fu" tells the story of Xie Changqing, the seventh son of King Wei, from an unappreciated hostage to the First Emperor who swept across the six kingdoms and unified the world. It is the growth history of an emperor. From humbleness to honor, this is a long and thorny road. Family, love, and friendship are betrayed one after another. He stepped on countless bones and finally sat on the throne that represents the highest power in the world. I am alone, so I call myself the widower.
The drama is jointly produced by several companies including Dongchen Film and Television Media Group, Dazhou Film and Television Production Co., Ltd. and Didu Changqing Film. The team is pretty good, but the industry is not very optimistic about this project because it does not conform to the current market trend. In the era of IP popularity, the popular dramas are either fantasy or palace fighting. This kind of biographical TV series adapted from real history was quite popular a long time ago, but the market conditions have been very bad in recent years. Businessmen are profit-driven and would rather follow the trend and shoot similar hit dramas than take big risks to explore new themes.
Therefore, when "Jiang Shan Fu" was first launched, the ambition was to find first-tier traffic stars to perform, but they were rejected one by one, and finally had to retreat and look for others. There are many second-tier actors, but not just anyone can play the role. They cannot bring their own traffic, and the requirements for acting skills are relatively high. As a result, a group of people are almost getting worried about the male lead.
Now we have finally decided on the candidate. Although there is a gap with the original one, it is better than the worst plan.
After reaching an agreement, there are still a series of things to discuss, so it will not be officially announced right away. Marketing accounts in the circle don’t have to worry so much and just release the news directly.
The first one was on my biggest Weibo account, Entertainment, and then several marketing accounts released information one after another. Before that, someone in the forum broke the news that minors were fighting over resources. Although "Jiang Shan Fu" does not have a big IP with a luxurious cast, it has a strong male lead and is a TV series that is broadcast on satellite channels, so it is still a big deal for many people. Now that Jing Ling had taken a bite of the pie, naturally some people were itching with hatred.
In addition, someone claiming to be an insider in the industry revealed that Jing Ling will have a solo cover for a second-tier magazine in December.
Not long ago, some people mocked him for being a false celebrity, with no outstanding works. So although he seemed to be very popular, his resources were very limited and he had no magazine endorsements. However, not long after that, he got a starring role in a TV series with a strong investment and cast, and was featured in magazines. He was also contacted by many manufacturers, but for some reason he failed to get the endorsement. Among the many speculations in the post, the one with the highest support rate is waiting for the big fish. If I can win an award at the Bauhinia Film Festival at the end of October, my value will increase.
Everyone reviewed Jing Ling's experience since his debut and realized that his speed and achievements were like riding a rocket.
Although the starting point seems a bit low as it comes from a web drama, the fact that he plays the male lead is a different matter. Furthermore, the drama was a huge hit, directly topping the annual sales and popularity charts. Not long after that, she suddenly entered the big screen. In Director Gu's work, she played the villain whose role was second only to the heroine, instead of just playing a supporting role. After the movie was released, it was a great success in both box office and reputation, and his acting skills were also recognized. His first movie was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Bauhinia Film Festival, one of the three major awards, and he had a great chance of winning. During this period, he appeared on the news broadcast twice, once for bravely doing something righteous and once for calling for the protection of animals, both times he portrayed himself in a positive light. There were also two variety shows whose ratings set new records and remained a hot topic.
And all of this happened in just one year. He is only eighteen years old, in the prime of his youth. He has good looks and acting skills. He still has a long way to go in his acting career, and his bright future is almost foreseeable.
After this review, most people feel envy and admiration, but as for the opponents, it is heartbreaking.
Another battle is inevitable between fans and haters. However, Shen Ze no longer had the heart to pay attention to these things. Anyway, the TV show was finalized, and what really mattered now was the Bauhinia Film Awards ceremony.
On October 31, the Bauhinia Film Awards ceremony was held at Jincheng International Convention and Exhibition Center. The scene was star-studded and the flash lights never stopped from beginning to end. The huge exhibition hall was filled with audiences and judges from all over the country, and the top leaders of the Jincheng government were also present.
The lights and shadows are brilliant, and the prosperity is like a dream.
After the routine opening, the first award presented was the Best Supporting Actor Award. Amid cheers and applause from the audience, the award presenter walked onto the stage. After the self-introduction, there is a brief introduction to the nominated films.
"I am very honored to be able to present this award with Teacher Liu today!" The woman's sweet voice came out from the microphone and spread to every corner of the exhibition hall through the loudspeaker equipment.
Jing Ling and Chen Ze sat in the audience. The former looked relaxed, with a smile on his face, and he didn't look nervous at all, as if the award was as close to his facial features as possible. It was Chen Ze, the emperor was not anxious but the eunuch was, he clasped his fingers together on his legs, his palms were covered with sweat. He tried hard to relax, but he was still nervous.
"Aze, don't be nervous." Jing Ling moved his lips slightly and spoke to him in a low voice.
"Shut up, I'm just nervous for you!" Shen Ze replied.
"Okay." During the entire conversation, Jing Ling's eyes were always on the podium, and even his smile did not change.
The award ceremony continues.
"The five nominated works stand out from hundreds of films, all of them are excellent, and the actors are also very talented! For example, Lin Zhisen portrayed the problem student Xu Rui in "Summer of Seventeen", and his inner struggle was vividly expressed! Wen Xuan perfectly presented the image of Fu Ruguang, an artist obsessed with music, to the public in the movie "Moonlight Sonata", and his performance was very delicate! Jing Ling played a role that was both a chess piece and a chess player in the movie "Lonely Island", and his performance was very tense and eye-catching!..."
After the award presenter introduced several nominees, movie clips began playing on the big screen behind him.
The first clip played was a clip from the movie "The Lonely Island". The bright moonlight accompanied by the rising and falling sea water, a dark shadow slowly approached the beach of the nameless deserted island. The steps seemed slow but had a unique rhythm, and the dagger in his hand flashed with cold light. Although his appearance could not be seen, he gave people a chilling feeling for no reason. The camera then turns to a dense forest, where a man in ragged clothes squats by a gurgling stream, with green trees, clear springs, and birds singing in the woods. In the seemingly beautiful scenery, the face with an intoxicated emotion and the repetitive and regular movements of the hands, although the subsequent footage has been cut, still makes people shudder.
The second one played was a clip from the movie "My Hero". The heroes here are not the omnipotent heroes who can save the world, but the heroes who stand up and do good deeds in daily life. The nominee Luo Wei plays the son of a retired police officer. He initially despised his father for having no money and power, but later he suddenly realized that his parents are no longer there to support them. He realized it too late and his father could no longer wait. The last scene is his scream, full of regret and self-blame.
Next are the movie clips of "Summer of Seventeen", "Moonlight Sonata" and "The Lost Promise".
Although the Bauhinia Film Award is slightly weaker than the other two, it is also one of the three major film awards recognized in the country. Those who are nominated are all very talented, and at least judging from the film clips, they deserve the award.
After the movie clip, the host briefly introduced the judges and explained the rules. "It's almost time to vote. Audience members and judges, are you ready? Who is the Best Supporting Actor of this year's Bauhinia Film Awards? Now, please vote!"
The screen was divided into two windows, one side showing the vote count and the other side giving a close-up of each nominee. Lin Zhisen, Luo Wei, Wen Xuan, Su Cheng… From the screen, one can clearly see their little movements, biting their lips, pursing their lips, clasping their hands, proving their inner expectations and nervousness at the moment. The last one to appear was Jing Ling, wearing a well-fitting suit, a white shirt and a black bow tie. He looked straight ahead with a faint smile on his face. The camera stayed on him, and his expression didn't change at all.
Just like when the camera accidentally turned to him during the previous lottery draw, he seemed not nervous from beginning to end.
"Fuck Qingqing, did you see that?! My idol is so great! He's so calm!" Yang Rou put her arms around her bestie's neck and shook her non-stop, "Please, please, please, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! He must be my idol!"
On another screen, the votes of the five people kept changing. Jing Ling and Wen Xuan were far ahead, and had a gap with the others, but their votes were very close, and the drama of you leading and me overtaking kept happening.
After a few seconds, the camera suddenly turned away.
Yang Rou vaguely saw that Wen Xuan was leading by one vote.
"Qingqing, I'm so scared..."
"Shut up and look at the results!" My best friend looked at the computer screen with an expressionless face.
The award ceremony was broadcast live. The host held the microphone and announced the result with a smile, "The results are out now. The winner of this year's Bauhinia Film Award for Best Supporting Actor is... Jing Ling!"
The moment the host finished speaking, the camera switched to Jing Ling. At this moment, the expression on his face finally changed a little, the corners of his mouth raised, curved into a happy arc, and he slightly turned his head to look at Shen Ze beside him. The latter did not hide the smile on his face, stood up and gave him a hug, "Congratulations, Jing Ling!"
"Thanks!"
After a brief hug, he walked onto the stage amid cheers and applause.
