China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 420 is full of details and surprises
It is too difficult to find out who is behind the scenes. Spreading rumors is the cheapest, most effective and safest way.

It's too late, and we don't have the energy to catch the rumor mongers. We have to get the awards show done first.

Since this is the first time for this award ceremony, the entire Tuanhuo culture has not yet taken a holiday, and has to wait until after the awards show.

There are many things going on. For example, Tuanhuo Culture, in collaboration with Mango TV, as well as people from Radio and Television and the Cultural Affairs Bureau, have been busy arranging the ceremony for the awards show. The venue for the award show is set to be the largest hall of the Hunan Grand Theatre, with 1500 seats. Two floors.

However, after renovation, additional seats were added to the hall, increasing its capacity to 2035 seats.

At the same time, all shortlisted film teams stayed in three hotels, namely Huatian, Tongcheng International, and Shenlong Hotel, all five-star hotels.

At that time, the courtesy cars would also depart from these three hotels and take the guests to the red carpet entrance of the Grand Theater.

Of course, in the end, due to distance reasons, Tongcheng International Hotel won the venue for the awards show. Because Tongcheng International Hotel is closest to the Hunan Grand Theater, it has a geographical advantage.

Of course, the cocktail party after the awards was also titled, and the title was still Vanity Fair.Yes, this is the naming cooperation that Zhang Qian discussed with Vanity Fair magazine.

As the host, He Fang chose He Jiu. He has been doing entertainment variety shows for a long time and has a lot of hosting experience. The most important thing is that He Jiu's English is very good.

Of course, we need to strengthen our ability to host talk shows. Although we don’t want to completely copy the Oscars, we can’t make the party scene very serious, but should be more relaxed and lively.

At the same time, the awards night was also interspersed with artistic performances from various countries.

For example, Chinese martial arts, South Korea's Girls' Generation, the island country's Arashi Group, Taiwan's Jay Chou, Hong Kong's Eason Chan, Malaysia's Fang Jiongjia, India's Shariya Ghoshal... are all super celebrities in various countries. singer.

Of course, award-giving guests also invite famous relevant professionals from various countries and are top people who have won numerous awards.

……

There are many more. It is not easy to host an international film awards show. The entire team started working half a day in advance, and the rehearsals have been held five times.

This live TV broadcast has reached cooperation with TV stations in various Asian countries, and will be broadcast live in high definition throughout Asia.Of course, it is also a global high-definition live broadcast.

So in the rehearsal on January 1, famous artists from all over the world came, and they all wanted to join in the rehearsal.

When these internationally popular singers came to Changsha, Mango TV was immediately busy interviewing these international stars who rarely get together.Of course, the happier thing is the media. There are too many celebrities. This wave of traffic can’t be eaten up. It can’t be eaten up at all. I can only swallow it in one gulp. Let’s grab it all first.

This not only attracted domestic media, but also attracted major entertainment media in Asia. There is no way, such opportunities are too few, and you have to come for traffic and food.

Therefore, these international stars have to rehearse and accept interviews from entertainment media in various countries. This has benefited the stars a lot. This is a rare occasion for them to be exposed to so many international media and show their faces in Asia. .

And those stars and directors who have not yet come to attend the awards saw that the singers who came in the early stage were so hyped, which gave them greater confidence in the Film Awards. After all, this is an all-round award in Asia. Propaganda.

It's gaining momentum, it's gaining momentum.

This momentum has excited He Fang, Mango TV and related leaders. It has also excited the domestic media and people. Who doesn’t want to hold a grand event that attracts the attention of the whole world in their own country?
Because of this turbulent momentum, He Fang was ignored by domestic media reporters and had no time to pay attention to him anymore. So many international stars suddenly felt that He Fang was not popular.

But that is only the view of domestic media, and those international media are still worth interviewing.

Therefore, He Fang had to arrange several exclusive interviews every day with mainstream media from different countries. Many of the words he said were basically repeated, because many of the questions they asked were repeated.

In short, everyone seems to be very busy at this time, so busy that they want to break themselves into several parts.

However, He Fang still went to see the rehearsal because he was most afraid that something would go wrong. Not only did he go to see it, but the leader in charge of the cultural center even came to the scene to express his concern.

Of course, this is suspected of siphoning off traffic, but it’s hard for everyone to say anything. If the leaders care about it, why don’t we allow it?
In addition to the inspection by the leaders, He Fang hosted a grand banquet on the 26th for celebrities from various countries who came to perform.

As international directors, they are willing to make friends with stars whether they are in the music scene or in film, television and singing.

Therefore, judging from the photos leaked by the media, He Fang had a very pleasant exchange with celebrities from various countries that night. Fans also looked at the photos leaked and screamed, admiring their favorite stars.

On the 29th, the awards show had its last rehearsal, and then we were waiting for the awards show on the 31st.Film crews nominated for various awards have also begun to come to Changsha upon invitation, and Changsha's Huanghua International Airport is filled with welcoming billboards.

In addition to the cultural events and the Lunar New Year approaching soon, the lively and festive atmosphere immediately soared, as if this year's New Year was even more festive.

Of course, on this day, light snow also fell in the sky in Changsha, and the trees on the roadside and in the park were wrapped in white silver gauze, which was very beautiful and flavorful.Dozens of foreign film crews came to Changsha to participate in the awards night this time. The total number of film crew award-winners, entourage members, and media people exceeded a thousand people, which put high demands on the crew's reception work.

At the airport exit of Huanghua Airport, there were dozens of teams of receptionists from the Fengyun Awards Organizing Committee holding signs to pick them up, and the parking lot outside Huanghua Airport was filled with Hongqi H7, the courtesy car for the film awards.
Of course, there were also many reporters gathered around the airport exit. Every time a crew came out, they kept clicking and then chased after them for interviews.

It is precisely because of this that many movie fans and tourists came to watch and ask for autographs. This lively scene gave the crew the feeling of walking on the red carpet as soon as they got off the plane, which further increased their favorability and honor for this film award. feel.

Which film award would give such courtesy to the crew participating in the awards as soon as they get off the plane?No.

Although the limousine you are sitting in is not an international luxury brand, the Hongqi H7 is designed to compete with cars of the Audi A6L level, so the appearance and interior are very high-end.

Some celebrities were surprised when they got in, and some even took a photo with the car after getting out of the car and posted it on Twitter or Facebook.

After seeing this, people from FAW Company said that this sponsorship was worth it.

Of course, not only the cars, but also Changsha’s street scenes, hotels, food, and many other elements were checked in by the celebrities who came before and were given personal media accounts.

In particular, everyone who came to attend the awards placed a gift bag with the organizing committee's LOGO in the room. This gift bag contained a set of twenty celebrity photos of Hunan scenery, each containing 50 ml. A set of bottles of Hunan specialty liquor, which mainly include Jiugui Liquor, Liuyang River Liquor, Kaixiao Liquor, etc.

Of course, there is also a Hunan specialty package, which is basically Hunan’s cooked food.For example, small fish larvae, dried tofu, Linwu duck, Anhua black tea, etc. are all in a small bag.

There is also a set of coupons for Changsha’s famous Huogong, Yuloudong and other food experiences, which are sponsored by several restaurants and allow international celebrities to experience them for free.

Then there are commemorative medals, commemorative scarves, commemorative hats and other items in the gift bag, which is a full bag.

When all the celebrities who stayed there saw the full bag, they were so excited that they quickly took photos and showed off their gift bags online.

Fans of these celebrities have been shouting in the online comment area, saying that the Fengyun Awards organizing committee is very attentive and good at publicity.

Especially when I see the delicious food posted by celebrities, my mouth is watering in the comment section.

When I saw 20 celebrity photos of Hunan scenery, I said I never thought there were so many beautiful places in the central province of China.

And there are photos of celebrities going to the food city to experience delicious food, and the pedestrian streets crowded with people...

Whether or not you win an award is secondary. This is a great trip.

The entire domestic media and officials gave full praise to the organizing committee's arrangements, saying that the event was done very well.

The image improvement of an entire country from an international event is immeasurable, and it is worth it.

He Fang also specially summoned Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang and other famous domestic directors and actors, and then received and welcomed them in various hotels.

On the evening of January 1, He Fang held another welcome dinner at the Huatian Hotel to congratulate all the nominated films and wish them the glory that belongs to them at tomorrow's awards night.

The reception dinner was in the form of a buffet. Everyone ate freely and chatted happily. With so many international crew sitting together, a lot of new ideas and collaborations came out.

He Fang was the one who was particularly toasted, and everyone hoped to have the opportunity to work together.

After that, He Fang was pulled aside by Director Cai, Chairman Wu, La Dong and others and gave He Fang a thumbs up.

"Director He, you really put a lot of effort into organizing this film award this time. If it were someone else, it would definitely not be as lively and there won't be so many surprises." Director Cai praised.

"Ha, Director Cai is so complimentary. This is the result of everyone's hard work. I actually didn't participate much." He Fang waved his hand modestly.

"But I heard that these processes and links are all the guidance given by you. I didn't expect you to have such experience, Director He. I really admire you. I will ask you for advice at the next Filmmakers Association event." President Wu admired him. said.

"President Wu, please don't praise me. The association has also contributed a lot this time. This is the result of our work together, not the result of me alone, nor the result of Tuanhuo Culture as a company."

"Well, Director He, your layout and method are really worth learning from. Why can you get to the front of everything? When you did it, we all suddenly realized that we can still do this. In fact, these things are not complicated. The key is to think and do it. At this point, I admit that we are really not as flexible as your private companies."

La Dong sighed.
