AI-generated summary
The Golden Bell Awards, an annual film and television event in Taiwan, have been postponed for the first time in 61 years due to the impact of Typhoon Qiangpi.
Typhoon "Qiangpi" is heading towards Taiwan, causing the annual Golden Bell Awards ceremony to face unprecedented challenges. It has even been postponed for the first time in its 61 years. Tonight, Taipei announced that the suspension of work and classes will be reached on the 24th, and the entire city will suspend work and classes. The program and drama award ceremonies originally scheduled to be held at the Taipei Pop Music Center on the 23rd and 24th have been officially postponed to the 25th and 26th due to various safety considerations and trade-offs. The Avenue of Stars will start at 5 pm and the awards ceremony will be held at 7 pm. After all, there will be no vacancies in the venue for the next year. Although the ceremony was forced to be "late", the hard-working staff still insisted on rehearsing at the venue until the last minute in the past few years even though they knew it was postponed.
The organizer Sanli also mentioned that the final voting for the Most Popular Variety Show Award has ended at 17:00 on 10/23 (Friday), and the final voting for the Most Popular Drama Program Award has also closed at 17:00 on 10/24 (Saturday). The final voting results will be announced in two ceremonies. The announcement also reminded once again that the Avenue of Stars event will be held in the Taipei Pop Music Center Performance Hall. The general public is not open to the ceremony. People without ceremony tickets are not allowed to go. Everyone is welcome to lock in the 61st Golden Bell Awards through the official broadcast.
Faced with the threat of wind and rain, the organizer Sanli TV worked hard. Since learning that the typhoon may pose a threat, the team has been intensively studying the indoor red carpet and other preparations. It also needs to start a huge "time tug-of-war" in a short period of time to communicate with the hundreds of artists, guests and teams who are shortlisted, attending the ceremony and awarding the awards one by one to adjust the schedule. For example, Yang Guimei, who was shortlisted for the Golden Bell drama, was stuck at the Kaohsiung Film Festival due to the postponement of the ceremony, and is still trying to communicate in the hope of attending the Golden Bell Awards. After Xie Yingxuan, who is currently filming, was shortlisted for the miniseries, her agent was also coordinating the schedule and said helplessly that "she might not be able to walk on the red carpet."
Although there are some regrets during the process, Kaoru Kobayashi, the actor from the Japanese drama "Midnight Diner" who was originally scheduled to serve as the award guest, is still being coordinated. However, Lien Ping-fa, who won the Drama King last year, has already arrived in Taiwan and even met the wild Tony Leung Chiu-wai by chance in a hotel. Lien Ping-fa has mixed feelings this time when he will present the Drama Actor Award. Xie Zhangying and Chen Zeyao have collaborated with him on "The Doctor". As an F4 fan, he couldn't hide his excitement and shouted: "Zai Zai is the childhood idol of our generation! Oh my god, if he wins the award in the end, do I actually have to give the award to him with my own hands? It's incredible to think about it!"
