"This award is the most mainstream award I am most likely to win." Huang Baiyou is hopeful.

Why move closer to the mainstream? Huang Baiyou thinks from the perspective of profit-making. Major directors select actors based on their own perceptions on the one hand, and the rest are recommendations from friends and mainstream award winners.

The reason is simple. When looking for an actor who needs acting skills, it is better to look for it from mainstream awards than to find a needle in a haystack.

There are currently four major film festivals in China. Huang Baiyou has participated in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival and the Xidu Film Festival, both as a companion.

The remaining two are the Magic City Film Festival, known as the first film festival in China, and today Huang Baiyou wants to participate in the Beijing College Student Film Festival.

Its purpose is “run by college students, viewed by college students, photographed by college students, and evaluated by college students”. Two-thirds of the judges are students.

Student evaluations are more intuitive, so you can often see many commercial films that other film awards avoid.

But the standards are not low at all. The weight of the co-organizers such as Beijing Normal University, the General Administration, Six Princesses, China Film Newspaper, Beijing TV, etc. even exceeds that of most awards.

In a sense, specifications determine gold content.

The awards ceremony took place at the Beijing Normal University Student Activity Center. There were hundreds of spectators present, most of whom were students. However, those sitting in the fourth and fifth rows were leaders of the departments that co-organized the event, as well as school leaders.

The first two rows are for nominated actors or directors, so they can easily go on stage to receive the awards during the awards ceremony.

"The winner of the Best Newcomer Award at the 29th Beijing University Student Film Festival is Huang Baiyou in "The Guns Go Back". Hu Fusheng, played by Huang Baiyou, looks like a comedian on the surface, but he is far more than a comedian. If Hu Fusheng Fu Sheng is a comedy that will be a problem for this society."

"Huang Baiyou's performance is thick and impactful. What's even more valuable is the literary nature of the character. Congratulations on winning." The award-winning guest read the comments from the jury.

Won an award!

There was a round of polite applause from the audience. In the past, it was the boss of the crew who watched the show win the award, but today it was his turn.

Huang Baiyou stood up and went on stage, "Thank you. Winning this award is a stage of encouragement for my acting career. I will continue to perform better roles, thank you."

He holds a trophy in his hand, which is shaped like an ancient tiger-shaped military talisman, so the film festival is also called the "Flying Tiger Cup". It feels heavy in his hand.

"You're not out of character, are you?" Huang Baiyou asked Dong Gong next to him.

"Not at all, sway freely." Dong Gong whispered.

Dong Gong added: "Since the organizing committee defines you as a newcomer, then don't even think about being the best actor."

"It would be good to win the best newcomer." Huang Baiyou said.

"Many times I feel that you are at a bit of a disadvantage. You are an idol and not very popular, but you still have this negative identity." Dong Gong said.

Huang Baiyou said: "Brother understand, that's the end of the story. I would have been quite happy if you didn't mention this."

"Blame me, blame me, I will punish myself with three cups of wine in a moment." Dong Gong said.

"Three cups won't do. We have to drink a lot tonight." Huang Baiyou said.

The surprises tonight are not over yet. Huang Baiyou not only won the Best Newcomer Award, but also the Most Popular Actor Award among College Students, becoming the big winner of the night!

This award is more pure. All male actors in the participating movies are nominated and voted by students. The one with the most votes wins.

Huang Baiyou won the award with a margin of 34 votes.

The most popular actress award among college students was won by Li Menglu. It is rare in the history of the student film festival to win the popular award for both men and women.

The Panic Gun crew made three out of five mentions, and Huang Baiyou is treating us tonight.

Even though the Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director have nothing to do with "Gunshot", that's not what the media at the College Student Film Festival paid attention to.

Take a look at the official media reports——

China Youth Daily: "The 29th College Student Film Festival, the Night of Youth has come to an end. Which actors are popular?" 》

Beijing Daily: "College Student Film Festival concluded successfully, Huang Baiyou won the most popular actor of the year"

China News Network: "[Entertainment Morning News] College Student Film Festival Awards, Huang Baiyou and Li Menglu won the Most Popular Actor and Actor Awards"

…

What is a lineup? It is difficult for other film festivals to have this kind of media lineup.

Jinyi Film and Television immediately started publicity. Their publicity channels are not as good as Tianyu Media, but they also have fewer artists, so they can concentrate resources on big things.

"The first step was a solid one." Huang Baiyou knew he was on the right path.

The actor circle has established a foothold, second-tier actors, first-tier actors, actors with influence in Asia, actors with global influence, first-tier actors in the world, and currently second-tier actors are on their way to the top.

Of course, there is definitely no accurate and obvious standard division of lines in the world, otherwise it would be too nonsense.

A drama can be directly on the front line, or even famous in Asia. The above classification is a rough classification made by Huang Baiyou when he walked out of the company a few days ago.

"In terms of popularity, I'm just short of a hit drama and one similar to 'The Guns'. I just need one of the two."

"In terms of awards, set a small goal, win the Magnolia Award for Best Actor, or the Golden Rooster Best Actor." Huang Baiyou thought about it, but he didn't stop and used Dianping to group buy dinner.

Not many people came to the award ceremony this time, only seven people including Zhou Xiaochun, Li Menglu, Dong Gong, and Hong Zijian.

"Li Menglu seems to like eating Western food, right?" Huang Baiyou needs to balance everyone's preferences, not to say that everyone likes to eat, but also not to run into a minefield.

While Huang Baiyou was choosing a restaurant, he talked about the two awards he mentioned just now. There are three awards for TV series and three awards for movies. Let’s make a simple summary.

Official Awards: Huabiao Award (movie), Feitian Award (TV series)

Audience Award: Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award, Golden Eagle Award

Jury Awards: Film Golden Rooster Award, Magnolia Award

Many people feel that the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards are very watery. Don’t confuse the Golden Rooster Awards with the Hundred Flowers Awards. The Golden Rooster Awards for best actors and actresses are really valuable.

There are still many people who feel that the Golden Eagle Award is very watery... That is indeed true, because the Golden Eagle Award itself is an audience award. Acting only occupies a small part of the judging criteria, which also includes market value and commercial influence. Even if a popular star has no acting skills, he or she will be judged later. Two items are strong enough to win awards.

The official award will definitely focus on acting skills, but the subject matter is greater than acting skills. To sum up, Huang Baiyou's goal is quite vertical.

We had dinner at eight o'clock in the evening and chose a private restaurant. You can't ask for a full meal when eating out, just eat in an atmosphere.

After dinner, Huang Baiyou returned to the small apartment and placed the two trophies on the top row of the bookshelf. He looked at them from a distance and found that they would fall easily, so he placed them in the middle.

After thinking for a moment, he placed it at the bottom.

So the question is, "What kind of mentality do the above actions reflect Huang Baiyou?"

In the following days, Huang Baiyou entered the promotion period, offline promotion before the broadcast of "Qi Ge Me".

After all, this is his first drama as a male protagonist, and Huang Baiyou still works hard.
