First Actor [Rebirth]

At the end of the year when Lu Yang was 20 years old, two major events happened that had a profound impact on his career as an actor.

One is public, but the other is private... At least no outsiders knew about it at the time.

First of all, in mid-December, the Huaguo TV Drama Feitian Award, which is selected every two years, was grandly held in the imperial capital.

This award is the earliest TV award in China with the longest history. It used to be selected every year, but later it became an alternate selection with the Golden Eagle Award. It is a selection with a very high gold content among domestic TV drama related awards.

Although he was shooting movies throughout the second half of the year, Lu Yang was nominated for the Outstanding Actor Award for his outstanding performances in the two super popular TV series "Chasing" and "Biography of Xiuying".

He was shortlisted together with an old acquaintance - Tan Jingchuan.

Tan Jingchuan also devoted himself to filming after filming "The Chase", but before "The Chase", there was a historical TV series adapted from the memoirs of a field doctor, and there was no suspense in being shortlisted.

According to the practice of the Feitian Awards, the award ceremony is usually held by the local government where the TV drama production unit with the most awards and the greatest influence is located, so this year's award ceremony will be held in Shanghai.

The members of the jury are all accomplished TV artists and experts in related fields.They will select outstanding awards from shortlisted TV dramas of different lengths and themes.

In addition, there are various individual awards, including "Excellent Screenwriter Award", "Excellent Director Award", "Excellent Actor and Actress Award" and other awards.

Compared with Magnolia, which generally only wins awards for one episode or individual, the Feitian Awards are more like a summary and commendation conference for outstanding TV drama works of the year and outstanding individuals.

Especially in terms of excellent TV dramas, there is often not only one award-winning work under the three categories of historical themes, realistic themes, and major themes, but usually the legendary "double yolk eggs", or even multiple awards at the same time .

For example, in the Feitian Awards in 2015, nine TV dramas with realistic themes alone won awards.

"Chasing" premiered at the end of last year, and "Biography of Xiuying" was only broadcast on provincial-level local TV stations in July this year, but both in terms of ratings and network hits, compared with the TV series of the same period, they can stand out from the crowd.

Especially "The Legend of Xiuying", when it was shortlisted for the Feitian Award at the end of the year, its online hit rate had exceeded 300 billion, which properly refreshed the ranking list of TV drama online hits.

As a result, Lu Yang became the youngest nominee in the history of the Feitian Award, so he has attracted much attention.

On the eve of the award ceremony, there has been a wave of heated discussions on the Internet.

"Although Lu Yang's acting is really good, he is only 20 years old after all, so he will definitely not be able to win the award. Otherwise, what would be the face of an old actor!"

"That's not necessarily true, I feel that Lu Yang's luck is not bad... You watched the Feitian Awards last year, which was at the time of the Qing Dynasty. That year, there was a blowout of TV dramas with historical and major historical themes. All the shortlisted for the Outstanding Actor Award were As a performing artist at the national treasure level, Lu Yang will definitely be scumbag compared to them... This time there is only Teacher Hu Pei, but she is an actress and has no competition with Lu Yang."

"But with Tan Jingchuan and Feng Feng here, there is already a lot of competition to be shortlisted with the two male gods."

"To be honest, if it depends on ratings and internet clicks, it's normal for Lu Yang to win an award. After all, his ratings are guaranteed now."

"The ratings are guaranteed after only two dramas? Then our male god Jingchuan should be called the god of ratings!"

"Don't argue, Feitian is quite prone to double-yolk eggs."

"Think about it, if Tan Jingchuan and Lu Yang are on stage to accept the award, those Pathfinder CP parties will probably go crazy!"

……

Compared with the high participation rate of netizens, Lu Yang was busy with other things during this period.

"The Fei Tian Award ceremony is on December 12th, and the time to meet Director Alva is December 15th. If everything goes well in the past, you will return to Shanghai on the 12rd to participate in Zong Tian's New Year's microfilm shooting this year. There are also four recordings of New Year’s programs.”

Wang Youlan confirmed with Lu Yang the focus of her recent work: "I have more than a dozen scripts in my hand, but after selecting them, they don't feel too prominent. Rather than rushing to finalize them now, it's better to wait until the Feitian Awards Ceremony is over, and The matter of going to the United States has also been settled, and we will think about it carefully."

The opinions of the company's top executives are currently divided into two factions.

While thinking that Lu Yang's chances of winning the award are not high this time, try to sign some good scripts while it is still topical.

Otherwise, after the Fei Tian Awards ceremony is over, although Lu Yang, who has not won the award, will not be worth less, but "bargaining" when negotiating the salary is obviously not as convenient as when the award is pending.

In addition, Lu Yang's filming of "Stars" has greatly reduced his exposure. Although he has some high-quality endorsements, he has no works and is easily forgotten by the audience.

However, the senior management on the other side believes that regardless of whether Lu Yang has won an award or not, just being nominated at this age is already a success.

Now what Lu Yang needs is quality, not weight, so within a certain period of time, he is allowed to rest temporarily and "wait" for the script.

As for the movie, "The Stars" will be released in one to two years. Whether Lu Yang has box office appeal is still unclear. After all, some very powerful actors may become top box office hits.

Lu Yang's advantage is that he is young, he has time to hone his skills slowly, and there is no need to prematurely overdraw his popularity with the audience.

Of course, Boya executives didn't know that Lu Yang was going to audition for the movie "The King" directed by Alva.

In fact, even the agent Wang Youlan was instructed by Boya boss Wei Bo himself, and he will not announce it until the audition is successful.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

On the night of the Feitian Awards Ceremony, Lu Yang, as the leading actor in "The Legend of Xiuying", walked the red carpet with Chen Yuan, who played the heroine.

Chen Yuan is older than Yang Si, but standing next to the "little fresh meat" Lu Yang, she doesn't look too mature. She is wearing a dark one-shoulder dress, and her fair skin seems to be shining under the light.

Coupled with Lu Yang's prosperous beauty, the two of them are like a golden boy and a jade girl, and they attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared on the stage.

The organizing committee is very thoughtful, and all the nominated individuals have prepared an exquisite gift, and will conduct individual interviews with them after walking the red carpet and signing autographs.

The entire interview process is also broadcast live, which is a test for the host, but it is even more a test for the interviewed stars.

There are naturally audiences when there is a red carpet, but most of the people around the signature board are media people and reporters.

There weren't many seats left for fans on the red carpet, but when Lu Yang came out, his cashmere yelled out dozens of people, and immediately compared other fans.

Lu Yang smiled at them and waved his hands. Then he walked into the venue with Chen Yuan and was interviewed in the break room prepared by the organizer.

Because Chen Yuan was wearing high-heeled shoes, Lu Yang kindly asked her to hold his hand. When walking inside, Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Seeing me holding your arm, your cashmere is going to spit fire, isn't it?"

Lu Yang heard the other party's joke, and immediately responded: "Then sister Yuan's orange juice should also breathe fire."

"Orange Juice" is a fan of Chen Yuan, and just now held an LED sign next to it to support Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan smiled even brighter when she heard this: "Because Sisi was on the set, she was always talking and organizing activities, so I didn't think you were lively, but now I know how amazing you are!"

That's why Lu Yang felt a little embarrassed. Just at this time, the staff brought them to the interview room. The interviewer was a well-known mouthpiece from Shencheng TV.

The interviewees before Lu Yang and the others happened to be Yang Si and Tan Jingchuan.

Seeing them, Yang Si immediately walked (run) this way on high heels, and when he came to Lu Yang, he looked left and right, and Chen Yuan looked strange: "What are you looking at?"

Yang Si replied: "I'm watching, my son is just growing up... Before we walked the red carpet as a family of three, we were so happy, but not long after, Lu Yangyang took the girl to walk the red carpet alone."

Lu Yang and Chen Yuan looked at each other, thinking of what Chen Yuan said just now, "she is always talking", and immediately smiled at each other.

Yang Si noticed something, and immediately asked: "What were you laughing at?"

Just when they were about to be overwhelmed, Tan Jingchuan came out to rescue the two of them: "Let them go for an interview first. After the awards ceremony is over, someday we have time to have dinner together. I'll treat them."

Yang Si's attention was immediately attracted: "You are the favorite to win the award, you must treat me!"

Tan Jingchuan smiled, and patted Lu Yang's arm again: "Let's go to the venue first, and we will contact you later."

……

When Tan Jingchuan and Yang Si were about to enter the venue, Yang Si suddenly sighed: "I really have the feeling that Lu Yang has grown up all of a sudden... Oh no, I can't say that..."

"Then what should I say?" Tan Jingchuan looked at Yang Si, seeming very interested in what she said.

"Actually, the first time I met Lu Yang, he was already an adult... It's just that I was deceived by his appearance, and I always thought he was still a boy."

Tan Jingchuan was silent for a few seconds before responding: "That's why he can bring people so many surprises."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

At the awards ceremony that night, there were indeed several "double yellow" awards.

Seventeen of the 49 shortlisted TV dramas won the Excellent TV Drama Award. Director Lu Wenlue and screenwriter Liu Yi won the best director and best screenwriter respectively for "Chasing".

The Outstanding Actor and Outstanding Actress are both awarded in pairs.

After Tan Jingchuan won the audience's favorite actor award at the Golden Eagle Festival, he became the emperor again and became the well-deserved king among actors of the same age in the TV circle.

And Tan Jingchuan was shortlisted together, and Lu Yang, who worked with him in "Chasing" and played the leading role in the TV series "Xiuying Biography", which was the most-watched TV series in the country that year, was also included.

In the end, at the age of [-], Lu Yang also won the honor of being the emperor!
