Chapter 180: Strange direction of public opinion
The selection scope of the Magnolia Award is all eligible star dramas and online dramas that have obtained broadcasting licenses from March last year to April this year.
Undoubtedly, this year can definitely be regarded as a big year for TV drama awards. In addition to the popular online drama "Peeping" at the beginning of the year, there are also many well-produced classic dramas emerging in the star drama sector.
Realistic themes like "Land", which tells the story of the changing times from the 1950s to the 1980s, or the Republican drama "Tavern" starring veteran TV star Chen Guodong, and the female-themed "Spring Tide" which has become very popular in recent years.
Moreover, in the second half of last year, there was an online drama that received as much attention as this year's "Peeping", called "The Sun Sets in the River".
Although this costume drama is an online drama, the investment in both the docility and the cast is much greater than that of ordinary star dramas.
Moreover, the second male lead is a member of a top-rated traffic team who is making his first TV series after going solo.
Although this top star is only 18 years old, in terms of national popularity and the number of fans, Ding Zhi, who has only improved this year, is actually not as good as others.
The most important thing is that his performance in the first electrocution after his solo career was quite good, which naturally added a lot of discussion to this drama.
Unlike "Peeping", which was aimed at online broadcast platforms from the beginning, that drama was said to be broadcast on stars from the beginning. Later, for unknown reasons, it was temporarily changed to be broadcast exclusively on Aiyou Video.
So to a certain extent, this drama is more popular than "Peeping". There are a total of 12 nominations in the TV series category. "Peeping" won 4 nominations, which is enough to exaggerate, and "The Sun Sets on the River" even more
Nominated for six awards including Best Actor and Best TV Series.
Therefore, "Peeping" is also an online drama, so it is difficult for the public to compare it with "The Sun Sets on the River".
After comparison, "Sunset on the Long River" overwhelms "Peeping" with a slight advantage in public opinion. After all, it is better than "Peeping" in terms of better production, better traffic, and "Champion Look".

"Dear leaders and distinguished guests. Ladies and gentlemen, good evening."
The male and female hosts are both hosts from the local TV station in Magic City. They are indeed much better than the two hosts with excellent chatting skills outside. However, in this kind of official awards ceremony, both the speech and the hosting are outstanding.
A cliche.
First, I introduced the leaders and guests who attended the award ceremony, from the Guangxi Bureau to the deputy director of the Standing Committee and deputy mayor of Magic City, and then thanked the strategic partners and several cooperative brands.
Then I talked about the glorious history of the award, watched a short video, and then looked forward to the future.
"Hey!"
Zou Yutong next to him used his toes as covertly as possible to slap Ding Zhi, who had gradually become dead-eyed.
Ding Zhi looked over subconsciously.
"Don't look at me! The Magnolia Awards are live! Do you want to be trending by falling asleep on the Magnolia Awards?"
Miss Zou didn't even look at Ding Zhi. Her little mouth didn't move at all, but she reminded him with a voice like a mosquito's chirp.
Zou Yutong has not been too close to Ding Zhi from the moment he entered the show until now. After all, the two had just finished the scandal not long ago.
Ding Zhi really didn't expect his girlfriend to have such an unusual skill as ventriloquism.
Soon enough, just when Ding Zhi was a little stunned, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that the camera seemed to be moving this way.
Ding Zhi's expression changed, and he immediately put on a handsome smiling face. After the camera passed, he instantly put on a smiling face.
He really didn't expect that the awards ceremony could be more boring than the red carpet.
The speeches of the host and leader on the stage took Ding Zhimeng back to the classroom of his math teacher in his previous life.
One thing to say, although the Hong Kong Golden Elephant Awards next door, or the Golden Bull Awards that were revitalized after the return of Wanwan, are somewhat regional protectionism, their award ceremonies are much more interesting.
It's not like now, no one is joking, they speak seriously, as if they are endorsing something, no one is cheering, and there are only a few applauses.
The soothing and hypnotic light music on the stage seemed to be cooperating with the "hypnosis" on stage, so that Ding Zhi was not the only one in the audience who fell into a trance.
It took a long time for everyone to get excited when the official awards were announced, but they found that they were all awards for documentaries and best communication, which they had no interest in.
However, the best animated film among them was won by "Assassin Wu Liuyi", which gave Ding Zhi, who almost fell into "sleep" state, a little refreshment.
He had watched this movie in his spare time and it was indeed a good anime.
After a lot of hard work, we finally got to the TV series section, which finally cheered everyone up.
The first award was given to the Best Supporting Actress. Ding Zhi was still very relaxed among the crowd.
In fact, Li Wenfeng reported Zou Yutong's name, but unfortunately he still failed to make the shortlist.
Highlight clips of the nominated actors in the play were played on the screen in sequence. In the end, this award was won by the second female lead in the female-themed "Spring Tide".
The second female lead is an actress in her late 30s who has acting skills but is still not well-known. She participated in "Spring Tide" and won an award. She is considered to be the best. With red eyes, she thanked the organizer, director, and crew.
After that, he carefully held the trophy and walked off the stage.
The applause at this moment was much louder than before. Maybe it was because most of the people in the field were actors and they all felt the same way.
After the Best Supporting Actress award, the Photography Award and the Music Award were next.
Among them, Wang Qianyuan unfortunately missed out on the Best Supporting Actor award and was won by the villain in the period drama "The Land".
The Best Actress award was still won by "Spring Tide".
This is not surprising, because except for this drama, the other shortlisted dramas are mainly male groups. In fact, everyone had expected that "Spring Tide" won all the female awards.
Soon, it was time to award the award for Best Actor.
The host on stage is deliberately creating suspense.
"Are you nervous?"
Li Wenfeng suddenly looked at Ding Zhi.
He asked whether Ding Zhi was nervous, but in fact it was his eyes that told Ding Zhi that he was actually more nervous.
Ding Zhi shook his head.
"Why? Don't pretend!"
Li Wenfeng didn't believe it. He had participated in the competition several times, but at the end of the day, when he might be able to win his first director award in his life, he still felt nervous. Why shouldn't Ding Zhi be nervous?
"You know, the competition for Best Actor this year is fierce!"
Indeed, whether it is Chen Guodong, who is a professional in Shidi, or Liaida, the male lead in "The Sun Sets on the River," they are opponents who cannot be underestimated.
Especially Chen Guodong, basically as long as he has participated in awards, there are very few that he cannot win.
Ding Zhi smiled and said, "I'm really not nervous. If I can't get it, I won't be surprised. But if I get it, I'll be a little surprised."
He is naturally confident in his acting skills in "Peeping", but he also knows that as a new star who has just started to rise this year, official awards such as the Magnolia Award will directly award the trophy for Best Actor to him. In fact,
The possibility is not too great.
At this time, the VCR was put on the screen.
After a while, Chen Guodong from "The Land" appeared, kneeling on the ground and grabbing a handful of dry soil with his cracked hands. His dull face suddenly became lively, and after a while he looked like he was bursting with tears.
After a while, Radar from "The Sun Sets on the Long River" appeared wearing military armor, using an iron sword to support his seriously injured body. Under his feet were the corpses of his colleagues, and then he faced the setting sun and headed towards thousands of troops.
The enemy troops accelerated step by step and launched the final charge!
Finally, Ding Zhi from "Peeping" appeared, holding a mobile phone in his hand and calling the police with a trembling and fearful voice. The camera turned and when he hung up the phone, he saw the expression on Ding Zhi's face.
Extremely relaxed and comfortable, I accidentally looked down and saw that my feet seemed to be stained with some blood, as if they were rubbing some dirt on the corner of the wall, rubbing it casually on the corpse under my feet. The huge contrast made people shudder...
...
After the broadcast was over, the two hosts talked nonsense for a while and finally...
"Okay, enough chatter, the most important moment is here." The male host glanced around the seats in the audience and said mysteriously.
The female host began to read the card: "Who won the Magnolia Award for Best Actor...?"
Finally, I took another trip.
The two of them shouted together: "That's...Ding Zhi!"
!!!!
The whole place fell silent.
This is undoubtedly a big upset!
Ding Zhi, who had just been talking to Li Wenfeng, was suddenly stunned.
The camera captured his somewhat surprised expression at just the right time.
Damn it!
"Fuck!"
Chapter completed!
