The "Golden Dragon Award" in this world is similar to the previous "Golden Rooster Award". Authoritative and most professional film awards.

It is not surprising that Xiao Yao was nominated for the best newcomer, but it is also very incredible that he was nominated for the best actor of this authoritative award for the first film he starred in. However, the list of nominations announced on the official website of the "Golden Dragon Awards" clearly stated that Xiao Yao was nominated for Best Actor in the first feature film he acted in.

Regardless of whether you win or not, being nominated is a great recognition. This also means that even the most authoritative group of film professionals in China highly recognize Xiao Yao's acting skills.

After reading this list of nominations, looking back at the fact that Xiao Yao won the championship of the first season of "Immediate Sound", it seems that it is not so incomprehensible.

After all, no matter how good the reputation of "Immediate Sound" is, it is still a variety show, and the champion is voted by the audience. When the audience votes, they are always influenced by some personal preferences.

In terms of traffic, Xiao Yao is undoubtedly better than the other seven finalists; and in terms of his own acting skills, Xiao Yao has been recognized by the "Golden Dragon Award" jury, at least it shows that he and the other seven finalists There is no level gap between them. He is much younger than the others, and it is very rare to be able to perform at the same level as the others. In addition, he is much more outstanding than other guests in various bonus items. The audience voted him a champion , which is justifiable.

With the combination of winning the first season championship of "Immersive Sound" and being nominated for two acting awards in the "Golden Dragon Award", Xiao Yao naturally became a hot topic in the entertainment media and the Internet. Adjectives such as " and "monster" were also placed on Xiao Yao's head again.

After the nomination list for the "Golden Dragon Award" was announced, Xiao Yao, who was far away in Europe, received congratulatory calls and text messages from many relatives and friends. Xiao Yao himself knew the Chinese film market last year. Xiao Yao didn't feel too surprised to be nominated for the best new actor, but he also felt a kind of unexpected joy when he was nominated as the Best Actor .

You must know that China's "Golden Dragon Award" is different from many foreign film festival awards. Although it is also a very authoritative and professional award, it is also a slightly conservative and traditional award. In the history of the "Golden Dragon Award", not only has there never been an actor and actress under the age of 30, there are even very few actors who have been nominated for an actor and actress under the age of 30. Xiao Yao was nominated for the Best Actor of the "Golden Dragon Award" at the age of less than 22 years old, and has already created a record for the youngest actor to win this award.

Xiao Yao will definitely attend the "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony. But now it's just announcing the list of nominations,

There is still some time until the awards ceremony. After learning the news, Xiao Yao did not return to Huaxia immediately, but accompanied Sun Tingting to continue her graduation trip in Europe.

The two finals of "Sound on the Scene" are equivalent to the ninth and tenth episodes. The broadcast of these two programs also means that the tenth program of another program "Singer" of Shonan Satellite TV has been broadcast. The tenth episode of "Singer" was broadcast, which meant that the recording of the twelfth episode of the show, the breakout competition, had been completed, and the list of seven singers participating in the finals had been confirmed.

Jiang Kailin from this season's "Singer" was also among the people who called to congratulate Xiao Yao for being nominated for two "Golden Dragon Awards". When Jiang Kailin called to congratulate Xiao Yao on being nominated for the "Golden Dragon Award", she also mentioned that she had successfully advanced to the finals of this season's "Singer" and told Xiao Yao that she was going to sing Xiao Yao in the first round of the finals. The song "One Plus One Theatrical Version" asked Xiao Yao about the possibility of being a live narrator when she went to the scene to help her and Li Jiawen sing this song.

The recording time of the "Singer" finals does not conflict with the time of the "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony. For Xiao Yao, it is within the scope of whether he can go or not. However, the ratings of the finals of "Singer" are very high. For Sun Tingting, who is still relatively unknown, it is a very good opportunity to show her face.

As for the problem that the string part in the original arrangement and soundtrack of this song is not brilliant, it is nothing to Xiao Yao. It's just a violin solo. Xiao Yao is the producer of the lyrics, music, arrangement and music of this song. Whether it is in terms of arrangement ability or right to speak, Xiao Yao has no problem doing so.

However, Xiao Yao did not help Sun Tingting make a decision without authorization, and did not directly agree or reject Jiang Kailin on the phone, only replied that he needed to think about it. After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yao discussed with Sun Tingting about going to the "Singer" finals as a star musician to be a supporting guest after returning to China.

If it was to be a supporting guest for Xiao Yao, Sun Tingting would definitely agree without hesitation. But Sun Tingting doesn't have much interest in being a musician to help others. In the three years in the United States, Sun Tingting not only met Xiao Yao very rarely, but also stayed with her parents less often. Sun Tingting's original plan was to complete this graduation trip with Xiao Yao and return to China, to live at home for a while, to accompany her parents, and then to pass the driver's license test by the way, and then to consider career development. After a while, Sun Tingting still refused.

Sun Tingting didn't want to be a supporting musician for Jiang Kailin, and Xiao Yao certainly wouldn't force it. Although Xiao Yao didn't have any particularly urgent matters after returning to China, it wasn't that he had nothing to do. Since Sun Tingting did not go to the "Singer" finals, Xiao Yao lost interest in going. He also called Jiang Kailin and declined Jiang Kailin's invitation on the grounds of work.

Before Xiao Yao came to the United States, he helped Jiang Kailin record the official versions of the three versions of this song, and also recorded the audio file of the narration for Jiang Kailin to use in the "Singer" finals, just in case something happened. In the final, Jiang Kailin had to sing this song and Xiao Yao couldn't go to the scene to speak the narration. For such a situation, Jiang Kailin was mentally prepared, so after Xiao Yao refused, Jiang Kailin didn't say anything, and didn't continue to fight through Wu You, but accepted it calmly after expressing some regrets.

Britain, Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting spent more than ten days in Europe and returned to China after visiting seven countries.

Since the period from the NBA Masters to Sun Tingting's graduation recital was during the Lunar New Year in China, it was the first time that Xiao Yao did not spend the Spring Festival at home this year. When the two returned to China, it was almost the time of the Lantern Festival in the lunar calendar.

When the two returned to Huaxia, they flew directly back to Yanjing. After returning to China, Sun Tingting went home to accompany her parents. Xiao Yao also stayed with his parents at Yanjing's home for two days, and then went to visit his grandfather Xiao Chengru. Finally, the family of four spent the Lantern Festival together before Xiao Yao returned to Shanghai.

After the Lantern Festival, colleges and universities in Huaxia also started school one after another. It is relatively easy for Xiao Yao just to go to school for class. At this time, there are still a few days before the "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony, and it happened that Tong Luo began to urge Xiao Yao to work on post-production matters such as the dubbing and soundtrack of "Robot Wall-E", so Xiao Yao focused on this film. Post-production of animated films.

The first thing to solve is the dubbing. There are not many characters in this movie, and the main characters are only Wall-E, Eva and the captain. There are basically no more than ten other voiced characters, and they either don't speak much or are not difficult.

Of course, Xiao Yao came by himself to dub the role of Wall-E.

Xiao Yao plans to invite He Ying to dub Eva. He Ying has dubbed the voices of many animation characters, and she has rich experience. Although she is in her thirties, her voice does not seem to violate the slightest sense of disobedience when paired with girls. It has been fully demonstrated in "Environment", and it is very suitable to play the role of Eva.

Xiao Yao is going to let Huang Shi do the dubbing of the captain. Although Huang Shi has never voiced an animated character before, that doesn't mean he can't do it. In terms of his voice quality, Xiao Yao thinks he is quite suitable for the role of captain.

He Ying graduated from the Acting Department of Shenxi Opera, and she is considered to be Xiao Yao's fellow teacher. In the final of "Immersive Sound", she also offered to dub Xiao Yao's animated film in front of other finalists. Although Huang Shi has no relationship with Xiao Yao, he has collaborated with Xiao Yao twice, and he is already the actor who has collaborated with Xiao Yao the most times. The personal relationship between the two is very good. Huang Shi also acted in a short film directed by Xiao Yao. As for dubbing Xiao Yao's animated film, as long as time permits, he must have nothing to say.

The two of them happened to have not taken on the show recently, and the time was relatively free. As soon as Xiao Yao contacted the two, they agreed without saying a word. After the dubbing candidates for the two main characters were finalized, Xiao Yao didn't put much effort into selecting the dubbing candidates for the remaining characters. He directly asked He Ying, who is familiar with China's domestic animation dubbing industry, to recommend some candidates for him.

For the dubbing candidates for these other roles, Xiao Yao only has two requirements: professionalism and good spoken English, and he does not need to be a star or how popular he is. Xiao Yao's animation film is planned to be released overseas, and it will be dubbed in both Chinese and English versions. However, Xiao Yao did not intend to have two sets of dubbing actors, and planned to use the same set of dubbing actors to dub the Chinese and English versions of the same characters.

It is definitely no problem for He Ying to ask He Ying to recommend candidates for voice actors, but before recommending candidates to Xiao Yao, He Ying has to watch the video of this animated film first. Only after watching the video and getting to know the plot and the characters in it, can He Ying choose who she thinks is suitable.

This is of course a very reasonable request for Xiao Yao, so after He Ying and Huang Shi came to Shanghai, Xiao Yao organized a pre-screening meeting.

This movie was produced through the cooperation between Xiao Yao and Tong Luo's special effects company, and no formal film and television company participated in the production. Tong Luo's special effects company does not have its own screening room, and it is even more impossible for Xiao Yao to have one, so this viewing session was held in a remodeled practice room in the recording studio located in Yin Xi's studio.

In the perception of Huang Shi and He Ying, an animated film that intends to be released in theaters must be played by a powerful company that can afford the money.

Although Xiao Yao said in "Sound on the Scene" that he invested two years of income in this movie, they didn't know how much Xiao Yao's income in the two years was. In their thinking, Xiao Yao was only one of the investors in this animation film, and he was definitely not the big one. The reason why Xiao Yao came forward to invite them to do the dubbing was probably because the production company wanted to use his connections in the industry, and it would be better for him to come forward to hire people.

But just seeing the place where the movie will be watched, the two of them felt very surprised. Although they have never been to this recording studio, they also know that the recording studio in Yin Xi's studio is Xiao Yao's place. Shouldn't the movie screenings be arranged in the professional screening rooms of those companies? How could it be arranged in such a place?

Suppressing the doubts in their hearts, Huang Shi and He Ying, led by Xiao Yao, entered the room where the film material was screened. In the room, Tong Luo, who came first, was waiting for them.

Xiao Yao first introduced Tong Luo, Huang Shi, and He Ying to each other. When introducing Tong Luo, Xiao Yao not only said that Tong Luo is the owner of a special effects animation production company, but also the producer and producer of the film. one of the people.

When He Ying graduated from Shenxi, Tong Luo had just graduated from university not long ago, and hadn't been teaching in Shenxi yet. Neither He Ying nor Huang Shi had heard of Tong Luo's company, nor him, so they didn't know him at all. But hearing that he is the producer and producer, the two of them exchanged greetings with him very politely.

"Can we start?" Xiao Yao asked Huang Shi and He Ying after the three of them exchanged greetings.

"We are fine, but you just said that Mr. Tong is one of the producers, so you don't wait for other producers? And the director, even if the other producers don't come, the director will be there anyway?" He Ying said .

Generally speaking, both the producer and the director will be present at the internal viewing meeting. When Xiao Yao experienced the screening of "Youth Vigilante" in the United States, the producer and director were both present.

"The producer and producer of this movie are Xiao Yao and I, and the director is Xiao Yao. They are already here." Tong Luo laughed.

"What? You are the director of this animated film?" Huang Shi and He Ying were both surprised.

"It's not just the director, he's also the screenwriter!" Tong Luo continued, "I don't know if you guys have watched the video of Xiao Yaoshen's acting test. In the second physical test, Xiao Yao did a dance that made the examiner cry. Yes. He said at the time that the dance came from the script of a sci-fi animated movie he created, and it was adapted from the plot in the movie script. Now what we want to watch is that sci-fi animated movie.”

Huang Shi had cooperated with Xiao Yao when Xiao Yao was in junior high school, and knew Xiao Yao, and He Ying graduated from Shenxi. Back then, there was a lot of noise about Xiao Yao taking the top two places in the Shenxi Art Examination. For the first time, Shenxi released the video of Xiao Yao's art examination on the official website, and both of them had watched it. Although they don't remember the details of Xiao Yao's dance, they all know about it. When Tong Luo said this, they immediately remembered it.

"So, you wrote, directed, and acted yourself again this time? Is it the same as that short movie, and you also have to make your own soundtrack?" After reacting, Huang Shi patted Xiao Yao's shoulder and smiled, " Short movies are played like this, and animated feature films are also played like this?"

Xiao Yao had already told the two of them in advance that he would also dub the characters in this animated film. For animated films, Xiao Yao is in a sense equivalent to writing, directing and acting himself.

"Not only that," Tong Luo said with a smile, "he is not only a director, screenwriter and voice actor, he is also responsible for the soundtrack, and the images of the characters in it are also designed by him, plus an artist. If it’s an analogy to a live-action movie, he’s also done the work of a costumer, stylist, and makeup artist, and maybe an art director has to be added?”

"I'm going, you kid is not only versatile in music, but also in film and television production?" Huang Shi said in surprise, "Can't you play nine roles by yourself? You can play alone! When the time comes subtitles The last big picture is full of your name, how awesome it looks!"
