Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 159 Movie Emperor
Compared with the previous Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films, this time the rules have changed.

Audience vote.

It can be mailed or online voting. The organizers even set up fixed ballot boxes in different cities, and the audience can cast paper votes at their doorsteps.

This time it's a truly popular movie.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Some old actors stood up to protest against this method of voting for the best actor, but it was useless. The organizing committee dismissed them by saying that the popular film itself is selected by the public.

Besides, they don't give the audience the right to choose. At least before being shortlisted, all the processes are handled by professionals.

The films that can be shortlisted are all the best in the past year, either with good box office or good reputation.

This was judged by a number of industry veterans.

It's just that, after being shortlisted, the old actor is destined to run away with him.

No traffic, no matter how good the acting skills are.

A young man can crush them to death. For example, in this year, Chen Kun, Donnie Yen, and Yuan Hua were among the finalists.

Zhang Guoli in the same period is not enough to watch.

In the past, Zhang Guoli was able to beat them all, but not now.

Among the four, Yuan Hua has the most fans. Once it is activated, the others don't have to play.

On the official Weibo of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards, countless netizens cheered after the announcement of this year's new selection method.

"It should have been like this a long time ago. Most of the winners before were old people. It's really boring."

"Mass movies return to the masses. Well said, I'm going to vote now."

"The film and television industry is developing and advancing. It should not be limited to old actors. They are tired of watching those few people every year. This reform is a smart decision."

"The Hundred Flowers Award is over, let's see, this is the first of its kind, and from now on all young people will win the award."

"It used to be the number one grand prize in the mainland, but I didn't expect it to fall to where it is today. It's a pity, it's sad."

"Let's put it down. In the past, winning awards was not based on fame. Who would not give some face to those respected old artists who stood up? Dare the judges say that they didn't vote with the intention of not offending people?"

"Now that the voting method is open, everyone has the right to vote. I think this time I have lived up to the award."

"Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award, the word "popular" comes first, followed by a hundred flowers, but in the past, how could we, the public, participate in this award? To find a few people to represent the public, I want to ask, who is it representing?" public?"

The selection method has changed, not only caused a sensation on the Internet, but also the younger generation in the entertainment industry are gearing up.

In the past, even if they were shortlisted, when they met senior artists, their qualifications and reputation were not as good as others, so it was difficult to win awards.

Now it's different, the masses vote.

This proposal is awesome!
The balance of actor and actress finally favored young people.

In the celebrity group, Huang Xiaoming and others congratulated Yuan Hua.

"Hua Zi, brother, I just canvassed for you on Weibo, remember to treat me to dinner later."

"Brother, I've posted on Weibo ten times in a row, how can you thank me?"

"Congratulations in advance, this year's Best Actor has been confirmed."

"Fuck, Hua Zi, with the number of fans you have, who can do better than you, and you won't be able to win the Hundred Flowers Award for popular movies in the future."

"Don't laugh at me, I don't know how many people I will offend if the rules change."

Yuan Hua didn't expect this day to come so soon when he gave the right to vote to netizens.

It turns out that doing so does more harm than good.

As some netizens said, whoever has more fans in the future may win the best actor.

Why did the Hundred Flowers Award for popular film in the previous life become a C-level award?

You know, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers was the most prestigious award in the mainland film field decades ago.

Later, it was divided into two, and the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers separated, each with its own business.

The reputation has dropped, but the gold content is still there. Although those few people are the winners of the awards every year, the works are good works and there is no black.

Since joining the on-site voting rules for judges from different industries, the style of painting has begun to change, and the gold content is not as good as before.

Now it is even more ruthless, directly allowing netizens to participate.

In a few sessions, this award will definitely be greatly discounted.

The referendum was created by the organizing committee. Yuan Hua has no ability to correct the rules, he can only adapt to the rules.

So, that night.

"Family, if you think my dear this movie is not bad, please vote for me!!"

"Thank you, old iron, for your ticket!"

"Love you Momo Da!"

"Thank you family."

"love you!"

Whenever he had time, Yuan Hua was browsing Weibo, randomly picking a few fans to interact with. After a few days, his comment area was extremely active.

In order for him to win the Best Actor, Yang Siwei put part of the publicity resources on Tomb Raider Notes on him.

In just one week, it has been hot searched for many days.

The voting period for the Hundred Flowers Award is one month, and after one month, the lottery will be drawn and the winner will be announced.

On February [-]st, the day before New Year's Eve, the premiere of Notes on Tomb Raiders at Yunding Tiangong ended. After dinner, Yuan Hua asked a few people to visit his home.

"Come, come, Mahjong."

Jing Tian took out the mahjong that he had prepared a long time ago, and brought Tang Yan and Yang Mi to the table.

Besides Tang Yan, Yang Mi, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying also came.

Yuan Hua and Huang Xiaoming didn't fight, and gave up their seats to a few girls, and they smoked on the balcony.

At the poker table, the girls chatted non-stop.

"Senior sister, do you have any dramas this year? Jing Tian asked Yang Mi casually.

"Yes, I'm very busy. I only have time to rest for a few days during the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, I will start work."

"I envy you. Unlike me, I have nothing to do every day. I'm afraid I will have to stay at home in the next few months."

Hearing Tang Yan's words, Yang Mi was surprised, "Why are you idle, offending Mr. Cai?"

After the spread of Paladin, Tang Yan became very popular, and the second female number one was as popular as her first female number one, and her career was at its peak.

In the same level, female artists are better than male artists in terms of drama and endorsement. Tang Yan is the top artist among third-tier artists, and his ability to make money is no worse than ordinary second-tier male artists.

For such a cash cow, the president of Sugar Man would let her stop working only if she was insane.

Sighing, Tang Yan said: "There are so many people in the company, and there are only so few resources. If others eat more, you will eat less. I have a straight temper, and I can't please the boss."

Among the company's female artists, she and Liu Sisi are the most popular.

Boss Cai and Liu Sisi are best friends, and she can't compare to where all kinds of resources are piled up.

"It's not wise to offend the boss in the workplace." Yang Ying smiled and punched out a tube.

Jing Tian asked concerned: "Then what will you do in the future?"

Tang Yan smiled wryly: "What else can I do, I'm weak, my arms can't twist my thighs, Mimi, give me an idea."

"Run if you can't stay, and stop when you stop. Sugar Man's resources are all placed on Hu Ge, and your presence there is not a long-term solution."

"With your reputation, you can set up a studio after you come out, and you can earn a lot of money, and you don't have to be controlled by others."

"But my contract hasn't expired."

"Then you can only lose money. If they unilaterally terminate the contract on the grounds that they did not give you the corresponding resources as agreed in the contract, you will probably still have to lose money, but you can pay less..."

The balcony was not far from the living room, and the voices of several people were loud, and Yuan Hua and Huang Xiaoming could hear them clearly.

"Three women in one play, it's true, this is what motivates them to quit."

Leaning his back against the balcony guardrail, Huang Xiaoming said.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Yuan Hua said calmly, "If Tang Yan doesn't want to leave, it's useless for anyone to force him."

It's true that sugar people's resources are more inclined to Liu Sisi, but Tang Yan's situation is not as miserable as she said. Didn't she play the strange hero Yizhimei a few months ago, and she deserves to be the number one female.

Nine times out of ten, he is popular, and he doesn't want to stay under others for a long time, so he wants to leave.

Of course, resource conflicts are not ruled out. After all, Liu Sisi and Tang Yan have similar acting styles, and there will inevitably be conflicts in a company. As she said, there are only so many resources. If others eat more, you have to eat less.

"That's right, don't talk about her anymore, you're about to win Best Actor, how do you feel?"

"I dare not think!"

The voting period is one month, starting on January 15th and ending on February [-]th, with the NO.[-] awards ceremony.

How could he know if he could win until the last moment, and now he is swearing, in case of a slap in the face.

"I think so, you can take it." Huang Xiaoming seriously analyzed: "I know Chen Kun well. He is in the same class. First of all, his popularity is not as good as yours. The company's publicity works hard, but the popularity is there, and publicity cannot make up for it."

Chen Kun is also a second-tier actor, young and handsome, and became popular early, but his development has not been very good in the past few years, and he is only in the middle of the second-tier actors.

Yuan Hua's dramas are more popular than each other, and music, film and television have developed in three places. If Hua Yi hadn't stepped in last year, he would have been the king of ghost blowing lights.

With the status bonus of a singer, he is obviously a second-tier player, but his popularity is no less than that of the first-tier player.

This is recognized by the market.

"Let's talk about Donnie Yen, the Hong Kong actor is not acclimatized, obviously he came to accompany him. Whoever knows him in the mainland audience, you won the award every minute."

Huang Xiaoming didn't say that Zhang Guoli has more fans than Yuan Huaneng, and that Yuan Huaneng can beat Lao Zhang by eight blocks.

"I believe you, Ip Man, let's not talk about acting skills, their movies are released in Europe and America, and they are released all over the world."

When Ip Man was released at the end of last year, it was extremely popular. With this movie, Donnie Yen ushered in a second spring in his career, suppressing his dear box office and becoming the top box office of the year.

Because the performance was so good, it was screened in Europe and America.

"Damn it, it's called global release now." Huang Xiaoming laughed: "A martial arts movie won't win an award, but you know it better than anyone else, right?"

Martial arts movies have a good box office and a good reputation, but few of them win awards, and the awards are for martial arts instructors and the like.

The point of view of martial arts movies is martial arts, there are not many literary dramas, and they are purely commercial movies. It is difficult to compete with my dear movies.

Dear one, it is aimed at winning prizes.

Judging from the previous award-winning records, this kind of film has won the most awards.

Taking advantage of the time and people, if Yuan Hua doesn't get the award, it can be said that he is unlucky.

"I know what, I'm actually not interested in winning prizes!!"

Hearing Yuan Hua's pretentious words, Huang Xiaoming couldn't help giving him a middle finger.

As an actor, who doesn't want to win an award, and it's bragging to say that he doesn't want to. If he wins an award, his net worth will double, and there are many benefits.

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Tomb Raiders Notes: Genting Tiangong was released.

Early in the morning, audiences bought tickets to enter the cinema.

Li Yifeng, newcomer, Yang Yang, newcomer, Jing Tian, ​​um, half new.

Not a single celebrity.

In the past, 90.00% of such movies would hit the street.

But this year is different. Notes on Tomb Raiders is a big IP, and there are many fans of the original work. Fans of the original work alone can contribute a lot of box office revenue.

Li Yifeng and Jing Tian have filmed two online dramas before, and their reputation has already been established. Judging from the audience's reaction and the market, at least they are good.

Just like Xi Yangyang and Big Big Wolf, there are big movies every year, and the audience is only that group, with a box office of more than [-] million every year, which is a stable group.

It can be seen that as long as IP is developed, follow-up income is indispensable.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Yuan Hua was dragged by Jing Tian to watch the drama, saying that he was watching the drama, but Jing Tian was actually waiting for the box office results.

She is the number one female, and the box office of Tomb Raiders Notes is still very important to her.

He wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep. Yang Yang and Li Yifeng had suffered from insomnia since the premiere, waiting for news on their phones.

At 12:30, the box office results of various places were calculated.

100 million on the first day.

Jing Tian hugged Yuan Hua and poked him twice, and was so excited that he pinned him on the sofa, saying that he wanted to use him for fun.

A week later, Tomb Notes had a cumulative box office of 8000 million.

At this point, the final box office can be guessed, and it will definitely not exceed [-] million, probably between [-] million and [-] million.

Take an intermediate value, [-] million.

Yuan Hua can almost get 30.00% of the box office.

About sixty-three million.

After deducting the cost of 4000 million, the profit is 300 million. The profit is not too much but not too little.

The main reason is that the investment is a bit too much. If Yuan Hua reduces the cost and invests 3000 million, he can earn nearly 3000 million this time.

But there are no ifs in the world, and Yuan Hua has no time to think about these ifs.

On February NO.15, the Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony officially began.

The number of votes was counted five days ago, a total of more than 700 million votes, and no one knows how many of them are for whom.

At eight o'clock in the evening, it will be broadcast on TV and the Internet at the same time.

Yang Siwei didn't go to the scene, but sat in the company, and all the employees were working overtime tonight.

She has seventeen manuscripts in her hands, all about Yuan Hua, and thousands of marketing accounts are on standby at any time, and she has also contacted six trending searches on Weibo.

Just waiting for Yuan Hua to win the best actor, the hot search will be arranged immediately, and the seventeen manuscripts will be handed over to the marketing account and sent out simultaneously.

In addition, there are seven or eight endorsements and several scripts on her desk.

This is still under discussion without signing.

If Yuan Hua wins Best Actor, all these endorsements and script remuneration will increase in price.

"Guests and friends, netizens, good evening everyone, I am the host..."

The Best Actor and Actor were awarded at the end of the session. The best directors, supporting roles, etc. were awarded earlier. Unfortunately, Chen Kexin did not win the award for Best Director.

"Director Chen, you have to hold on, everyone is welcome." Yuan Hua comforted Chen Kexin in a joking way.

"You boy, what is this? I have too many best director trophies in my family. It doesn't matter if I lose one, but you, don't cry for a while."

Lao Chen is free and unrestrained. He has won numerous awards over the decades since his debut. It is really not a big problem for him to lose one best director.
