Chapter 617

No pain, no gain. In the entertainment industry, as long as you work hard, the audience will always see it.

Reba's performance in Day and Night is obvious to all. It is indeed much higher than the quality of previous films, and her acting skills are not on the same level.

Apart from other things, she has worked hard to shape her appearance for the role.

She has a good figure and big breasts. The character Zhou Shutong usually wears only a base T-shirt and a jacket. If she follows her usual habits, once she puts on makeup, the audience's attention will inevitably be distracted.

This is a taboo!

Sometimes a good figure is an embellishment, but it is also a burden.

So Ding Xiu mentioned it and asked her to bind her breasts, and she did it.

She bound it tightly every day and almost couldn't breathe.

The effect is also very good, and the audience's attention is focused on the role.

The success of the two dramas has given Reba a lot of resources, which has directly raised two levels. She will also have a heroine role at the end of the year.

If she keeps up, there is hope that she will copy Yang Mi's route in the future.

Similarly, Eternal Love became a huge hit, and Yang Mi made a comeback. After the gambling agreement was completed and the pressure was not so great, she also planned to relax.

Strive to shoot more good dramas in the next two years to restore the reputation.

In August, Ding Xiu's I Am Not the God of Medicine was completed.

When the director shouted the last "cut", everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In the evening, Ding Xiu invited everyone in the crew to dinner.

During the meal, Wang Chuanjun told Ding Xiu that he had communicated with the original company to unilaterally terminate the contract and could transfer to Qin Dynasty Entertainment at any time.

Ding Xiu waved his hand and asked him to report to the company tomorrow.

Wang Chuanjun was very happy. It was worth his millions of liquidated damages.

…

In September, Ding Xiu was still in the post-editing room when Qin Gang called.

"Brother Xiu, good news. Netflix is ​​going to buy the copyright of Day and Night, and plans to release it in more than 190 countries and regions around the world."

Ding Xiu's eyes lit up: "It's really good news. I'll treat you tonight and have a drink."

"How can such a big happy event be celebrated by just the two of us? I'll have a whole banquet in two days and invite everyone to have a few drinks together and get together."

"Okay, you arrange it."

It's really good for Ding Xiu that Day and Night can be screened globally. His popularity and exposure have greatly increased, and he has officially entered the European and American markets.

In the future, his films will not only appear in domestic and Korean regions, but also in European and American regions.

"By the way, more than a dozen award ceremonies have recently notified the company that Day and Night won the award and asked you to go to receive the award. I'll send you the schedule later. You arrange your time and remember to go and receive the trophy."

Not long after hanging up the phone, Qin Gang's schedule was sent over. Ding Xiu took a look and found that most of these award ceremonies were not well-known.

Some were even the first session.

He crossed out most of them with a pen, leaving only a few with relatively high popularity.

The 4th Wenrong Award of Hengdian Film and Television Festival.

Yinchuan Internet Film Festival, Best Actor Award for Online Drama.

2017 Mr. Fashion, TV Actor of the Year Award.

2017 Most Valuable Online Drama Actor.

2017 Weibo Night Annual Hot Drama.

2017 Breakthrough Performance Award at the Youth Film Festival.

The 3rd China Online Video Academy Award, Most Popular Actor Award, Golden Spider Award.

Even though Ding Xiu had crossed out half of the awards, there were still seven or eight awards left, and he took a month to collect these trophies.

Because of his high exposure, he has dominated the hot searches recently, and netizens are urging him to release the second season of Day and Night.

"The first season is over, the trophy has been received, and you show me this for the finale?"

"I'll give you a number. In half a year, will the second season be out?"

"So who was in jail in the end, the elder brother or the younger brother?"

"It's really unfair that this drama can't win a TV drama award. I suggest that relevant departments can include online dramas in the assessment targets."

"The guy above, you are from the General Administration of Optoelectronics, right? How do you know that the General Administration of Optoelectronics held a meeting to discuss this topic last week?"

"Fuck, is it true that online dramas can also win TV drama awards?"

"It's expected. Don't you think about how influential online dramas are now? Tomb Raiders Notes, Mao Pian, Go Princess Go, Soul Ferry, Yu Zui, River God, Day and Night, Soul-Calming, Qin Ming, Wu Xin: The Master of None…”

“It is obvious that the quality of online dramas is getting better and better, and the cast is getting bigger and bigger. Compared with TV dramas, online dramas are really just broadcast on different platforms, and are no longer synonymous with low quality. ”

“Even professional actors such as Ding Xiu, Zhang Ruoyun, Li Yifeng, Tang Yan, Zhang Zhiyao, and Reba are acting in online dramas, which shows that this is the next outlet.”

It is said that there are many experts among the people, and there are many rumors. Some netizens have reported that the State Administration of Optoelectronics is considering including online dramas in the field of TV drama awards.

At first, Ding Xiu did not take it seriously, thinking it was bragging.

Although the online drama market is indeed good now, even if Day and Night has 4 billion views, high standards and high quality.

It is difficult to break everyone’s previous image of online dramas.

Including it in the field of TV drama awards is a bit exaggerated.

To Ding Xiu's surprise, just after the National Day, and before the National Day movie season ended, the State Administration of Optoelectronics notified that online dramas would be officially included in the TV drama awards.

In other words, online dramas will be able to compete for the Best Actor award just like TV dramas.

But maybe the award is a bit trendy. So far, among the three major awards for TV series, only the Feitian Award notifies that online dramas can be selected.

Qin Gang did not sleep all night after receiving the news.

Because October is about to pass, it is the time for the Feitian Award to be selected. The shortlisted films will be reviewed after the beginning of the year and the awards will be presented in January.

The next day, early in the morning, Qin Gang reported Day and Night.

The next step is to wait silently.

Qin Gang waited, but Ding Xiu did not wait. He was still working on the post-production of I Am Not the God of Medicine, arranging actors to come back for recording from time to time, and selecting suitable soundtracks.

This movie has to be completed by the end of this year, and the pressure is still quite high.

With his overtime work every day, the post-production of the movie was completed in mid-December. The subsequent publicity, distribution, and scheduling are Qin Gang's work and have nothing to do with him.

January 1, 2018.

The new year has arrived.

The list of nominees for the 31st Feitian Award is out.

There are 50 dramas shortlisted for the Outstanding TV Drama Award.

These include In the Name of Life, Feathers Flying to the Sky, Young Marshal, My First Half of Life, Advisors Alliance, Anju, White Deer Plain, etc.

Five were nominated for the Outstanding Screenwriter Award, Feathers Flying to the Sky, Advisors Alliance, A Little Farewell, White Deer Plain, and The Last Guard.

Eight were nominated for the Outstanding Director, five were nominated for the Outstanding Actor, and five were nominated for the Outstanding Actress.

Day and Night Chase was not nominated for the Outstanding TV Series, Outstanding Screenwriter, or Outstanding Director.

Only one was nominated, Outstanding Actor, and the nominee was Ding Xiu.

Looking at it, the name that appeared most in the shortlist was Zhang Yi, and the chicken feathers flying to the sky starring him were nominated for the Outstanding TV Series, Outstanding Screenwriter Award, and Outstanding Actor Award.

On January 6, Ding Xiu came to attend the opening ceremony of the Feitian Awards.

From a distance, Zhang Yi trotted over to say hello.

"Brother Xiu, good morning."

"You are so impressive now." Ding Xiu shook hands with Zhang Yi and said with a smile.

Zhang Yi couldn't stop laughing: "No, it's all because of the good training of the company."

This is his first time to be nominated for Best Actor, so he has finally made it.

"If you can't do it, no one can train you. Work hard. I believe in you. How is The Climbers?"

He recommended Zhang Yi to Wu Jing before, and Wu Jing later used him as the male No. 2.

"Not bad, Brother Jing takes good care of me."

"Not bad, keep working hard."

Ding Xiu patted Zhang Yi on the shoulder. This kid has been really fierce in the past two years.

Acting schools like them are all trained through hard work, and generally become late bloomers.

He always thinks Zhang Yi has the appearance of Huang Bo.

"Do you feel any pressure when you are nominated for Best Actor this time?"

"Yes." Zhang Yi smiled and said, "My pressure is not you, Brother Xiu."

The five outstanding male protagonists are Ding Xiu's Day and Night Chase, his Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky, Yu Hewei's Military Advisors Alliance, Zhang Tong's Desperate Guard, and Sun Weimin's Haitang Yijiu.

This year's list is very outstanding, and the candidates are generally younger.

He and Yu Hewei were born in the 1970s, while Ding Xiu and Zhang Tong were born in the 1980s.

Zhang Tong is the youngest, two years younger than Ding Xiu. His most famous role before was Wei Heshang in The Sword of the Dragon.

It seems that de-aging is not only in the workplace, but also in the entertainment industry.

If nothing unexpected happens, the best actor of this Feitian Award will be one of the four of them.

The biggest threat is Ding Xiu. In "Day and Night", one person plays two roles, which is a great test of acting skills. Guan Hongfeng and Guan Hongyu were exhausted by Ding Xiu's performance.

Who wouldn't be scared after watching it?

Before, he was only in the online drama circle, and everyone just praised him with a mentality of watching the fun. Who knew that online dramas would suddenly be included in the field of TV drama awards?

Now Ding Xiu is coming in full force, who wouldn't be scared after watching it?

His fame and strength are all here.

"Day and Night" has 4 billion views, a Douban score of 9.0, and Netflix has bought the copyright. It will be screened in more than 190 countries around the world.

The resume of the male lead Ding Xiu is even more amazing.

What can everyone do to compete with him?

"Don't worry, I'm just going through the motions this time." Ding Xiu comforted Zhang Yi: "When have you ever seen an online drama win an award?"

"That's because you didn't come!" Zhang Yi rolled his eyes.

He didn't believe a single punctuation mark in Ding Xiu's words.

In short, this year's award is a failure. It's not easy to come here once, and you have to compete with the boss.

"Hi, Brother Xiu!" Not far away, Liu Tao, who was in a dress, saw Ding Xiu and waved to say hello.

"Isn't this my sister Tao? Are you nominated again?" Ding Xiu walked over with a smile and said, "You're there every year."

This year, Liu Tao was nominated for Best Actress, and the nominated work was Ode to Joy.

It is worth mentioning that she is also the female lead of the Advisors Alliance.

"No, no, I'm just going through the motions." Liu Tao pretended to be exactly the same as Ding Xiu just now.

But she was much more sincere than Ding Xiu.

This year's Best Actress competition was much more lively than Best Actor, Sun Li, Qin Hailu, Yin Tao, Jiang Xin.

Except Jiang Xin, the other three are not easy to deal with.

Especially Sun Li and Yin Tao, Yin Tao is famous for winning multiple Best Actress awards, and she is very strong among the actresses in their thirties.

Sun Li needs no introduction, she is famous, has a large traffic, and is strong. Her representative works include Jade Guanyin, Huo Yuanjia, The Legend of Zhen Huan, Hot Mom, and The Legend of Miyue, and she has won many awards.

These two are younger than Liu Tao, but their achievements in the film and television industry are much greater than hers. I have little confidence in competing with them.

Ding Xiu continued to speak politely: "I think your success rate is quite high. This year's Best Actress must be you."

Everyone likes to hear good words, and it is better to praise someone for winning an award than to say that someone failed the exam.

Liu Tao said that it was just a formality, and anyone who took it seriously would lose.

"What a man's mouth." Sun Li's voice came from behind: "Someone just told me that I am the winner this time."

"Really?" Liu Tao blinked.

Ding Xiu took out his pocket calmly and took out his mobile phone: "I'll take a call, Zhang Yi, you accompany the two beauties for me."

After saying that, he turned around and left, disappearing in the vast crowd in a few seconds.

Zhang Yi said awkwardly: "Our boss is like this, everyone just gets used to it."

Sun Li laughed: "I am used to it."

She and Ding Xiu had known each other for a long time. The two had worked together in Shanghai in their early years. She played Feng Chengcheng and Ding Xiu played Ding Li.

She knew what kind of temper this person had, and she was not angry.

Suddenly, Zhang Yi glanced and looked in the direction where Ding Xiu was walking. There was Yin Tao.

"Oh my god, don't let him say the same thing again."
