The rivers and lakes of the movie Golden Rooster Awards: Who can sit in the first row of the infield, who can sit in the real C position, who has the final say?
I saw the sails of the night sky
Why are the stars clustered around the moon
"The Sea of Stars"
On November 4, 2023, the 36th China Film Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony was successfully held at the Strait Grand Theater in Xiamen, Fujian Province.
In the end, "Fengshen Part 1: Chao Song Fengyun" won the Best Feature Film Award, Cheng Er won the Best Director Award for "No Name", He Saifei won the Best Actress Award for "Chasing the Moon", and Tony Leung won the Best Actor Award for "No Name", and became the first three-gold Grand Slam actor in Chinese film history. [Previously, Tony Leung has won 3 Golden Horse Awards for Best Actor and 5 Academy Awards. 】
Obviously, Tony Leung, who is socially fearful, was the biggest winner of the night, but perhaps the biggest highlight of the entire awards ceremony was not him.
Many experienced viewers know that the most exciting part of a film award is the final award ceremony, and the biggest expectation at the awards ceremony is naturally the announcement of these awards for the final actor and actress.
However, more of the highlights and highlights are actually in the audience seats, which should be the best seats in the audience, which are the star-studded seats.
The most interesting part of this part of the guest seat is, of course, the A1 area in the most central location, where real movie superstars and real movie bigwigs are concentrated.
The first row of the A1 area, which has the best viewing angle and is closest to the stage, has also received the most attention and shots, sitting Andy Lau , Wu Jing , Chen Daoming , Tony Leung and other real superstars and bigwigs, all the audience know that this row is a real VIP.
So, who is in the first row of the A1 area in this year's Golden Rooster Award, and what is their position? What's the point, what kind of rivers and lakes are shown behind this?
This row, from left to right, is:
Wang Likun, Tan Zhuo, Yin Tao, Zheng Kai, Qi Xi, Dapeng, Yan Ni, Deng Chao, Zhou Dongyu, Ge You, Wu Jing, Andy Lau, Chen Daoming, Tony Leung, Carina Lau, Huang Bo, Hui Yinghong, Lei Jiayin, Yuan Quan, Fei Xiang, Wan Qian, Wang Chuanjun, He Saifei, Jin Chen, Guli Nazha.
Generally, the people who sit in this row are mainly superstars, leaders and bigwigs, including award presenters and nominees for awards such as Best Actor and Actress.
There are a total of 29 seats in the first row of the A1 area (no one sits in the 4 empty seats on both sides), of which Chen Daoming sits in the 15th seat, which is the positive C seat in the VIP.
Sitting on either side of him are Andy Lau and Tony Leung, one is the number one celebrity on the whole network, and the other is the ceiling of honor for Chinese film actors.
Why is Chen Daoming in the positive C position here?
In fact, this is not the first time Chen Daoming has sat in this positive C position, and this position should be sat by him. Because the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award is sponsored by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the China Film Association, and the Xiamen Municipal People's Government, and Chen Daoming is the current chairman of the China Film Association, and finally he will serve as the guest of honor for the best feature film award, the biggest award.
Among the three major organizers, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles is more literary, and the chairman is a writer; The local government only provided venue and resource support, and the leaders did not come, so Chen Daoming, as the biggest leader in the Golden Rooster Award, is justified in sitting in this position.
Chen Daoming represents the host of the Golden Rooster Award, and the others are guests, and the final seat arrangement is naturally determined by the host's family.
Attentive viewers also found that Chen Daoming's dress was different from the previous sessions, and he was dressed quite casually. Probably because this is the last year of Chen Daoming's chairmanship, the next term should be a new person.
[The term of the Film Association is 5 years, and the current term of office starts in December 2018 and will be renewed soon. Yu Dong, Yin Li, Yin Hong, Jackie Chan, Ren Zhonglun, Su Xiaowei, Wu Jing, Zhang Hong, Zhang Hanyu, Huang Bo, and La Peikang are all vice chairmen of the current session, so who will be the next chairman? 】
Andy Lau sat next to Chen Daoming is the least surprising to the audience, because this is not the first time Andy Lau has sat in this position. As the number one star in the current Chinese film industry and even the entire entertainment industry, Andy Lau has enough qualifications and capital to sit in the first row.
At last year's Golden Rooster Awards, Andy Lau and Ning Jing jointly presented the Best Actor Award as guests.
Tony Leung is this year's Best Actor nominee, and with his own achievements in the film industry, he is definitely qualified to sit next to Chen Daoming. Carina Lau beside him, in addition to being Tony Leung's wife, is also the queen of the Golden Rooster Award in 2007, so it is also reasonable to sit here.
Ge You is the actor of the Golden Rooster Award in 1993, and he is also China's first Cannes international actor, he will be the guest of honor for the Best Actor Award that night, and Tony Leung is also the Cannes International actor, so this position must be his.
Needless to say, Wu Jing is not only the king of the box office in the Chinese film industry, but also the vice chairman of the Film Association. [In recent years, Wu Jing's Golden Rooster Award attendance rate is extremely high, and the next chairman is likely to be him, and he will be replaced by the C position. 】
Among the guests in the first row, Huang Bo is also the vice chairman of the Film Association, and he was also nominated for the Best Actor Award.
In addition, Zhou Dongyu is the Best Actress at the 2020 Golden Rooster Awards, and the youngest Queen of the Three Golden Films, and served as the guest of honor for the Best Actor Award this time;
Deng Chao is the Best Actor at the 2017 Golden Rooster Awards, and he is also the host of many Golden Rooster Awards, and he was nominated for the Best Director Award this time;
Tan Zhuo served as the guest of honor for the Best Sound Recording Award;
Qi Xi and Dapeng were the presenters for Best Supporting Actress;
Wang Likun served as the guest of honor for the Best Opera Film Award;
Wang Chuanjun and Yan Bingyan served as the presenters of the Best Directorial Debut Award;
He Saifei, Yan Ni, Hui Yinghong, and Yin Tao are the nominees for Best Actress;
Lei Jiayin was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, Wan Qian and Yuan Quan were nominated for Best Supporting Actress;
Fei Xiang, as the leading actor of the popular movie "Fengshen Part 1: Chao Song Fengyun", plus he and Carina Lau will be the award presenters for the best foreign language film, so he has nothing to say in this position.
Wait a minute.
It can be said that there are no idlers in the entire first row.
But if you take a closer look, the seats of the entire Golden Rooster Awards ceremony are still full of surprises and puzzles.
For example, Li Xuejian, who won the Best Supporting Actor Award, is not only the Golden Rooster Award actor, but also the last chairman of the Film Association, and has enough seniority, but he can only sit in the second row.
Hu Jun, who was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor, seems to have more weight than Lei Jiayin, Wan Qian, etc., but he can only sit in the most corner of the second row; Of course, compared to Huang Yao, the best actress nominee in the back row, the film director Feng Xiaogang, and the film company boss Yu Dong, this is already very good.
Tang Guoqiang and Liu Xiaoqing, who served as the guests of the Best Actress award, have high qualifications and achievements, but they can't sit in the first row.
Wait a minute.
Of course, a more attentive audience, or an audience who enters the scene to watch, may see more information outside the camera, and then there will be a deeper understanding and awareness. For example, when an award is announced, who cheers and applauds him, and who just watches quietly.
Here, some people see circles one by one, which is actually the so-called movie rivers and lakes. If you understand these, you will naturally understand the ranking rules of the Golden Rooster Award ceremony.
Who can come to the Golden Rooster Award and what position can you sit in, in addition to seeing whether you are popular enough and whether you are good enough for a coffee position, it also depends on your position in this river and lake.
To do not favor one over the other, and perfectly balance the interests of various circles, it is definitely a ruthless job that tests skills and experience.
If you were asked to be the organizer of the Golden Rooster Awards, how would you arrange the final seats?
