Typhoon "Qiangpi" hit Taiwan, causing the annual TV Golden Bell Awards Ceremony to face unprecedented challenges. Due to the suspension of classes in the two cities for two consecutive days, the program and drama awards ceremony originally scheduled to be held at the Taipei Pop Music Center on the 23rd and 24th has been officially postponed to the 25th and 26th. Chen Tingni is the host of the Drama Golden Bell Awards Ceremony. She was originally expected to fly to Japan immediately after the ceremony to attend the opening ceremony and red carpet of the Tokyo Film Festival on October 26. Now she has decided to "stay in Taipei" and give up the red carpet appearance at the Tokyo Film Festival.
She was originally going to attend an event in Tokyo for the new film "The Joy", which she co-produced with Lee Kang-sheng, Li Hongqi and others. However, as the Golden Bell Ceremony was postponed to the 26th, the two major events collided. After careful consideration and team evaluation, Chen Tingni finally decided to show her professional attitude and successfully complete the Golden Bell hosting work. Asked about your current mood? She said through her agent in a low-key manner: "Now I just need to concentrate on completing my hosting duties."
This year is not only the first time in the 61 years since the Golden Bell Awards were held that the ceremony was postponed due to a natural disaster, but the two-day Avenue of Stars was also moved indoors and was not open to the general public. The Avenue of Stars opened at 5 p.m. and the awards ceremony started at 7 p.m.
Although this annual TV event was forced to be "late", the professionalism of the team behind the scenes has not diminished at all. The staff still stayed at the Beiliu venue these days, rehearsing in the wind and rain until the last minute. Due to the postponement, the organizer team had to coordinate schedule adjustments with hundreds of finalists, guests and award-winning artists one by one, making the impossible possible and making every effort to ensure that the 61st Golden Bell Awards could end smoothly in a safe and grand manner.
