The much-anticipated, star-studded annual Chinese TV drama ceremony, is it really as simple as an awards ceremony?
In this era of entertainment to death, film and television works have long become an important part of the consumption of ordinary mass culture.
The output of TV dramas is directly related to the spiritual food of thousands of households.
So, in China, a land full of imagination and creativity, how will the achievements of TV drama creators in the past year bloom on this grand stage?
In January 2024, the 2nd Annual Chinese TV Drama Ceremony was held at a large-scale performance venue in Beijing.
As an annual top event in the Chinese TV circle, as we all know, those who can stand on this stage are representatives of powerful actors and excellent works.
This is mainly due to the rapid development of the TV drama industry in the mainland, which is increasingly close to the film industry in terms of investment scale, creative level and expression methods, and even more popular in terms of subject matter.
Take the popular online dramas in recent years, many of which have not only gained high popularity in China, but also are highly sought after overseas, which is such a great encouragement to an industry with long-term inferiority.
It is foreseeable that in the future, Chinese TV dramas will flourish and further expand their influence in cultural export.
Then, this year, the actors who have swayed freely on the screen will show their talents on this much-anticipated stage.
What works and performances have they made it to the door of the festival over the past year?
And how will it bring a hot scene to fans on this cold winter day?
Let's take a look at some of the film and television people who came to the event announced by the organizers.
Xiao Zhan, Wang Ziwen, Hu Ge, Tang Yan and other popular and powerful actors were all present, and I believe that their performances full of tension will bring an audio-visual feast to the audience.
With so many big names gathered together, just hearing the names makes people's blood boil, not to mention their wonderful acting skills.
So in this era of entertainment to death, as the elite of the film and television industry, what kind of high-level works and superb acting skills will they present to the audience?
This fills us with infinite reverie.
leading the trend of national dramas and composing a contemporary chapter", this is the best commentary on Xiao Zhan and Wang Ziwen.
In the past year, Xiao Zhan has set off a "drama chasing frenzy" in China with the vulgar and slightly slightly vulgar costume drama "Flowers", and the current Xiaosheng representative Wang Ziwen is also in the same frame.
As a popular and powerful actor at the actor level, Xiao Zhan brought infinite attention to this grand ceremony with fame and fortune.
Wang Ziwen, who has worked with him countless times, as a cutting-edge actor, also shines in "Flowers".
In fact, many actors do not achieve such high popularity and popularity overnight.
For example, in the early days of Xiao Zhan's debut, he played a supporting role in many works, and he has not improved much after many years of deep cultivation.
It wasn't until 2017 that the role of Wei Wuxian with the romance idol drama "Chen Qingling" really became popular.
And Wang Ziwen has also experienced the transformation from a dragon set to a small supporting role to a leading actor, and finally found his own positioning and acting style in the interaction with Xiao Zhan and other big-name stars.
So, what makes these stars stand out and become the objects of public affection? Of course, there are elements of the right time, place and people.
But more importantly, it is the actors' persistent pursuit of acting skills and their unremitting efforts for the development of the film and television industry.
Whether it is Xiao Zhan or Wang Ziwen, we have seen the respect and love for the profession of actors from their works.
This also allows them to retain their approachable side even after reaching the pinnacle of life.
The two stepped on the red carpet with the hottest crew, and the audience must have flocked to it, and the strong lineup made people addicted to watch.
So at this moment of reunion, what kind of surprises and interactions will they bring to fans? Let's wait and see.
Hu Ge and Tang Yan, the "old husband and wife", can be said to be evergreens in the national drama circle.
Since their debut, they have all faced the previous era, and witnessed the transformation and tempering of Chinese TV dramas, and finally blossomed and bore fruit.
As a first-line powerful actor, whether it is an ancient costume or a modern drama, their stable and excellent acting skills and exquisite and unique appearance have been deeply imprinted in the hearts of millions of audiences.
Take Hu Ge as an example, as early as more than ten years ago, he became famous with the martial arts drama "The Condor Heroes" and was deeply loved by the audience.
From a trainee to a popular student, the process can be described as thrilling.
Although he also suffered a low point later, he has always adhered to his acting path and has shone in recent plays.
Whether it is in the "Painted Skin" series or the new version of "Dragon Babu", we have seen the rich and three-dimensional acting skills of this "eccentric" actor break the audience's imagination.
Similarly, Tang Yan's transformation from a youth role to a mature woman is also both internal and external, and it is amazing.
As an actress, it is really commendable to keep your style from being buried in this highly consuming film and television industry.
So, in the days to come, what kind of surprising works will they bring to everyone? We'll see.
In addition to these dazzling stars, tonight's gala will also gather many outstanding actors.
Ma Yili, Xin Zhilei, Mao Xiaotong, Wang Yang, Jiang Xin, etc., are all powerful actors that everyone likes to see.
Although they are not as well-known as the first-line celebrities, their rich character creation ability and excellent acting skills also make everyone's eyes shine.
In the case of Xin Zhilei and Mao Xiaotong, although they have played many protagonists in the past, what really makes them top in the hearts of the audience are those exquisite supporting roles.
For example, Mao Xiaotong's image of the little fan girl in "Dear, Loved" is still impressive; Xin Zhilei's interpretation of the role of the village woman in "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin" is also eye-catching.
In fact, many actors find their own position from these colorful supporting roles, gradually polish their acting skills, and finally grow into a powerful faction in their own right.
Then, at this high-profile moment, seeing them once again perfectly interpret the acting skills and charm of various characters will surely become the expectation of every drama fan.
We are also looking forward to their wonderful performances.
When it comes to the biggest attraction of this festival, it must be the host Sa Beining.
Sa Beining, the host with a high reputation and love from the public, believes that as long as he stands on the stage, he can drive the atmosphere of the audience and let all the stars focus on it.
As the "commander-in-chief" in terms of award setting and procedural effects, Sa Beining's hosting style and witty words will be the "finishing touch" of the whole ceremony.
So, what kind of surprise and wonderful performances will this host, known as the "national comedy artist", present us with a wonderful performance? Which celebrities will he interact more with?
What hilarious humor will it bring us? All of this is amazing.
Echoing the light of the host, the cast present this year is also better.
Zhao Youting, Liu Lin, Wang Renjun and other popular actors with both box office strength and acting skills were all present.
Hot Engine Project It is not difficult to see that the organizer's arrangement of the cast can be described as well-intentioned, with the blend of three generations of actors, including the integration of old, middle and young actors, as well as a wide range of different genres and styles, so that the audience can enjoy the blossoming of Chinese TV drama actors on this night.
When all the stars gathered together and the flowers applauded, we had to admit that at this moment, the TV series was the pride of the sky surrounded by stars.
It records the pulse of this era, and all the glory today proves that the Chinese TV drama industry is vigorous and full of hope.
However, under this seemingly glamorous appearance, it also contains the internal motivation of TV drama practitioners to challenge themselves and forge ahead countless times.
We often say that the role in front of the screen is shaped by the external appearance of the actor, but in fact, many actors are also gradually improving their inner world, which is a gradual process.
So, all the awards of the party will be displayed, and in the end, those lucky film and television dramas and actors can become the biggest winners?
In this expectation, there is reluctance and regret, because this night also represents the end of another glorious year for Chinese TV dramas.
But the journey without an end is the most beautiful, and it remains to be seen whether they can continue to break through after experiencing the baptism of spring breeze and rain.
