A little detail from Magnolia Awards day.
The likely Xiao Zhan Studio account on XHS (战个地儿) shared Xiao Zhan's photos with this song:
"I don't want flowers, I don't really care
I don't need gifts, just be right there
Don't give me presents, don't make a big affair
All I want is you, just to stay right here"
#XiaoZhan #肖战 #31stMagnoliaAwards
Banan Media, a renowned media from
Chongqing, wrote an article about #XiaoZhan nominated as Best Actor at the latest Magnolia Awards.
“Today, the trending lists are abuzz with discussions surrounding the 31st Shanghai Television Festival awards ceremony. Departing from the usual focus on the awards themselves or the eventual winners, netizens have turned their gaze toward Xiao Zhan recognizing that while he did not take at home the "Best Actor" trophy, while he possesses the confidence and substance to command a long-term career. A look back at the history of the Magnolia Awards reveals a clear industry trend: the judging panel has long favored narratives rooted in contemporary realism. Over the past thirteen years, Hu Ge was the only actor to win Best Actor for a period drama—portraying Mei Changsu in *Nirvana in Fire* (2016). Since then, acclaimed performances by actors in period dramas—such as Chen Kun in *The Rise of Phoenixes*, Zhang Ruoyun in *Joy of Life*, and Mark Chao in *Eternal Love*—have stalled at the nomination stage; period dramas face an inherent, formidable barrier in the judging process. Xiao Zhan’s nomination as a top-five finalist for Best Actor for his role in Legend of Zanghai* marks a significant breakthrough—he is the first actor born in the 1990s to secure a nomination in the period drama genre in thirteen years. This nomination in itself represents a pivotal moment that challenges the industry's long-standing biases.
Throughout the awards ceremony, he maintained a composed and steady presence, never once stepping away to avoid awkwardness or revealing any signs of disappointment or loss of composure. In every moment captured by the camera, he sat upright and attentive, sincerely applauding every senior colleague and peer who took the stage; his expression was serene and open, devoid of resentment or melancholy. He conversed calmly with Hou Hongliang, arranged to exchange professional insights with Sun Li in the future, and smiled warmly at Zhang Jingyi, always interacting with others in a manner that was poised, sincere, and appropriate. Throughout the event, he neither curried favor nor engaged in comparisons, showing no trace of bitterness or frustration; instead, he embodied the principles of respecting the awards, his competitors, and his peers in every detail of his conduct. His acceptance speech for the nomination honor was particularly restrained and insightful: he viewed the nomination as a professional assessment and looked to his seniors as benchmarks for learning, focusing entirely on the commitment to solid acting and deep engagement with the craft. Free from any complaints or regrets, he clearly defined his future as an actor—viewing awards merely as milestones along the way, rather than the ultimate verdict on his acting ability or personal worth.
While some fixated on the "Best Actor" trophy that ultimately eluded him, they overlooked the fact that, throughout this Magnolia Awards cycle, Xiao Zhan held the top spot across the board: official performance clips garnered audience favor by a wide margin; online buzz, market data, and public discussions consistently ranked him first among all nominated actors; and Jury President Zhang Yongxin praised his performance for possessing both structural substance and vibrant spirit, earning him recognition from industry insiders and affection from the general public alike. The only thing he failed to secure was a single award constrained by the judges' genre preferences; in every other regard—market reputation, public attention, industry-defining impact, and on-stage professionalism—he led the field.
"Standing by Your Side" a song written by a male xfx & music/voice by AI.
He said that this song is a message for Xiao Zhan & also for his supporters.
The song is based on XZ's journey-the ups & downs & his fans always being there for him which is not an one sided chase. (+)
