Not only was the red carpet outside this year's Golden Eagle Awards stingy, the venue inside was also not large. It looked more like a corporate annual meeting than the country's largest awards ceremony.
Although Wei Yang did not attend the Magnolia Awards in June this year because he was not shortlisted, he watched the live broadcast. The scale and scene were much larger than now.
Even if the Hunan Provincial Television Station doesn't have money, it should be able to afford this little bit. It can only be said that it is a bit stingy.
However, although the Magnolia Award has a larger venue, the Golden Eagle Award is far better in terms of guest lineup.
The actresses nominated and present today include Fan Xiaopang, Haiqing, Liu Shishi, Yao Dazui, Mei Ting, Yan Ni, Shuangzijie, Wang Luodan and others.
The male actors include Fan Wei, Wei Yang, Huang Haitao, Sun Honglei, Wang Baoqiang, Xia Yu, etc.
Other award presenters included Han Sanye of China Film Group, Zhang Chaoyang, the boss of Sohu.com, Wang Zhongjun, the boss of Huayi, Chen Chong, Liu Huohua, Cao Ying, Ming Dao, as well as a number of bigwigs and well-known artists from Hunan TV Station and Tianyu Entertainment Group.
Don’t think that the Golden Eagle Award declined later and even became a water award.
But for now, Feitian has been sticking to the main theme, and the Magnolia Award has only been transformed for a few years, and its influence is still accumulating. Among the three major awards for TV dramas, the Golden Eagle Award has the greatest influence and gold content, and is the well-deserved first award for TV dramas.
So let alone a company's annual meeting, even if it is turned into a rural hypermarket, no matter how much people complain, there will still be a large number of celebrities coming to support it.
After all, the venue and award ceremony are all virtual. What people value more is the trophy, as well as the honor and benefits that the trophy brings.
Before the awards ceremony, it is also a place for guests to socialize.
Wei Yang, in particular, didn't even have a chance to chat with the nearby actors before he was called away by the bosses to talk.
He exchanged a few pleasantries with Mr. Han Sanye, and then he boasted about business with Wang Zhongjun. Sohu's Lao Zhang urged him to join Sohu Weibo, and arranged two events and interviews for him. The leaders of the Hunan TV station inquired about the broadcasting rights of "Eastern Palace".
There were many actors and artists who wanted to meet him, but when they saw this scene, they didn't dare to come forward.
Some people couldn't stand it and whispered a few sarcastic words to their acquaintances.
"Is it that serious? He's just a young boy in his early twenties. You really treat him like a treasure."
"He's young, but his net worth is hundreds of millions. We've been together for so many years, how can we have even a fraction of his wealth?"
"Humph, he's just lucky. If he falls over one day, a bunch of people will trample him to death right away."
The acquaintance didn't want to care about it anymore, but he knew that the man was right.
Wei Yang is too popular right now, and countless people are staring at him. Unless he keeps moving forward bravely and builds up a sufficient base and a golden body to protect him, once he falls into a well, countless people will throw stones at him.
After chatting with the big guys, the award ceremony was about to begin, and Wei Yang returned to his seat and sat down.
The seating arrangement for this year's Golden Eagle Awards is not based on the crew, but rather one row for male actors and one row for female actors.
Next to Wei Yang were Fan Wei and Wang Baoqiang, whose already handsome and unrestrained faces were made even more handsome.
Wei Yang and Fan Wei had met each other before when filming "The Founding of a Party", so they were acquaintances, but this was the first time that Wang Baoqiang met them.
"Do you mind calling me Baoqiang? I've watched Soldier Assault many times. I almost joined the army at that time."
Seeing Wei Yang greeting him, the other party showed his signature silly smile, showing his big white teeth.
"Oh, whatever you call me is fine. The movie 'My Love from the Star' you starred in is also very good. My wife really likes you. You must get me an autograph later."
You can't just like someone blindly! Wei Yang was startled, but he knew it was just a polite remark, so he laughed it off and talked to Wang Baoqiang about other topics.
At the same time, he did not forget to observe the actress. He was also afraid that Shura would not be able to contain the fire and the two would start fighting again.
But it was obvious that Fan Xiaopang and Liu Shishi were not that impulsive. Although they hinted at each other, they maintained a good attitude on the surface.
I don’t even know whether the seats were arranged by the organizer or the two of them found them themselves, and they sat next to each other.
Since the hit drama "My Love from the Star", Fan Xiaopang's reputation has turned around and his popularity has improved. He rarely feels isolated and has a pleasant conversation with many female stars.
This woman was very good at dealing with people. While she was socializing, she also did not forget to chat with Liu Shishi next to her.
If Wei Yang were still alive, Liu Shishi might still dare to confront him in the battle between the two phoenixes, but once she encountered this kind of world of fame and fortune, she was no match for Fan Xiaopang.
Compared to the beautiful and generous Fan Xiaopang who is in full swing, the aura of Liu Shishi, who is still immature and not good at socializing, is completely suppressed and she is reduced to a "follower".
At first glance, the gap between the two is not as huge as that between a young lady and a maid, but it is a bit like an older sister leading a younger sister.
"It's over, it's over..."
Wei Yang gritted his teeth. This woman definitely did it on purpose. No matter how good-tempered Liu Shishi was, after being tricked like this, she would definitely use her long legs that had been cultivated through more than ten years of dancing skills to crush him to death…
Just when Boss Wei was feeling anxious, the award ceremony finally began.
As a large television festival, the Golden Eagle Awards award more than just TV series and actor awards.
There are cartoons, documentaries, children's channels, variety shows, evening parties, and even host awards.
For example, Mr. He, the host of Hunan Satellite TV who was in charge of hosting the show today, took the time to receive the best host award during his hosting.
Including TV drama awards and behind-the-scenes awards, the Golden Eagle Awards have three types of actor awards:
[The audience’s favorite TV actor/actress], also known as the Golden Cup by many people.
[Best Performing Arts Actor/Actress] Crystal Cup Award.
[Most Popular Actor/Actress] Live audience voting, Crystal Cup Award.
There have been different opinions about which of these three awards is more valuable and which one will be considered the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor or Best Actress.
The main reason is that the ranking of the Golden Eagle Awards is too messy, especially since Hunan Province obtained the hosting rights and reorganized the Golden Eagle Festival. The awards were revised frequently, making it very difficult to distinguish them and it is difficult to have a completely unified concept.
[Audience Favorite] The Gold Cup Award is a comprehensive selection by judges, media, and audiences. It is also the only Gold Cup award. Logically, it should have the highest gold content, but because too many trophies are given out, there are only eight trophies for men and women in one session, which seems a bit watered down.
[Best Performing Arts] The Crystal Cup is selected by the judges and mainly focuses on the performance. Both the leading and supporting actors can win the award. Many times it is too unpopular and does not fit the audience-oriented tone of the Golden Eagle Awards.
The Most Popular Award, the Crystal Cup, is voted for by the audience at the event and the audience watching on TV using their mobile phones. It is also the finale of every Golden Eagle Awards.
However, this kind of award is entirely based on the popularity of the actors, which often results in fans botching the votes, and talented actors suffer a lot, and sometimes inevitably appear to be unworthy of the position.

Therefore, the three awards each have their own advantages and strengths. It is difficult for any of them to prove that they have the highest value, nor can they fully represent the Golden Eagle Award.
Especially the fans, because of the gold cup and the crystal cup, they kept arguing and talking at the same time, which made the situation even more chaotic.
However, there are experts who have conducted statistical research. After their calculations, they have come up with the most objective method for selecting the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor and Best Actress:
See who gets more awards!
Having won all three awards, he is undoubtedly the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor and Best Actress.
For example, Li Baotian for "The Miraculous Doctor Xilaile" in 2003 and Jiang Wenli for "Golden Wedding" in 2008, both won three awards without any controversy.
The second is to win two awards, that is, one gold cup and one crystal cup, which generally refer to [Audience Favorite] and [Most Popular Award]. Occasionally there are also [Audience Favorite] and [Best Performing Arts Award]. This is the case for Wang Baoqiang, Li Youbin, Sun Li, and Jiang Qinqin in previous sessions.
Winning all three awards or one gold and one crystal is basically the standard for this year's Best Actor and Best Actress. If not, then the title will be vacant.
For example, at the 2016 Golden Eagle Awards, Hu Ge won one gold and one crystal, while Liu Tao only won the [Most Popular Award] Crystal Award. On the official Weibo of the Golden Eagle Awards, there was a bracket behind Hu Ge's name saying "Best Actor", while Liu Tao had nothing.
This is also the reason why Xiao Zhao won the gold cup and Da Mimi won the crystal cup, but they were criticized by fans of other companies for not recognizing them as the best actress.
Of course, to be honest, people who don’t know much about the entertainment industry won’t be able to make that clear distinction.
Basically, many people assume that the Gold Cup is a minimum award. If you win the Gold Cup, you will be recognized as the Best Actress or Best Actor, and a marketing campaign can be justified. Some statistics will also be calculated based on the Gold Cup, while the single Crystal Cup will not be counted.
Wei Yang was quite confident about the crystal cup for the [Most Popular Award]. He had the fan base and Blue Whale had also done some organization. As long as it wasn't some shady operation, it would be almost a sure thing for him.
But he is not so confident about winning the gold cup of the Audience Favorite Award.
After all, "My Love from the Star" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Star" are both idol dramas, which puts them at a disadvantage in the award selection. He also has little foundation, so who knows if there will be any accidents.
While he was muttering to himself, Fan Wei next to him won the first gold cup, and soon after, Sun Honglei from "The Disguiser" also won it successfully.
Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief, as his biggest competitor this year was Sun Honglei from "The Disguiser".
The latter is almost certain to win a gold cup, both because of the subject matter and its own strength. The sooner Sun wins the award, the greater his chances of winning the remaining two.
However, before Wei Yang was called, he heard the award presenter Chen Chong calling out Fan Xiaopang's name.
As the most popular artist today, Fan Xiaopang's name immediately aroused warm cheers from the audience.
The latter stood up, holding his collar and bowed slightly to everyone around him. Instead of going directly on stage, he ran to Wei Yang and hugged him.
The guests and audience at the scene cheered and booed. Wei Yang had a bright smile on his face but cursed in his heart.
He finally realized that this woman was planning to kill him tonight...
After coming on stage, Fan Xiaopang hugged the guests to express his gratitude, took the trophy, gave a speech, and mentioned Wei Yang again.
“…Thanks to the crew, thanks to the director…Thanks to our Professor Gu who did not return to the planet but stayed on Earth, and thanks to Wei Yang for letting me play the role of “myself” that I like and strive to become…”
Fan Xiaopang once again cued "My Love from the Star", making countless viewers dream back to the hot winter of last year.
She was radiant on the stage, and he was waving and smiling below. People are in the play, and the play is like life.
The audience, especially the CP fans of [Wei Fan], screamed like crazy and wished they could knock each other to death.
Wei Yang had a smile on his face, but his heart was devastated. He didn't even hear what Fan Xiaopang said later or Wang Baoqiang's joke. He only had one thought in his mind.
It's completely over...
