Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 524 Ambassador
These few words show how much disdain Liu Tianxian has for the Golden Horse Awards. I am too lazy to comment on it. The main reason is that no one knows how disappointed Liu Tianxian is with the Golden Horse Awards. Only those who have experienced it know.

Full of anticipation and enthusiasm, no matter how many times I am nominated or how busy I am, I will participate tirelessly.

Just because she is an actor and has a unique passion for this profession, she is in awe of such awards ceremonies.

As long as she can go and there are no restrictions on her, she will participate.

Unexpectedly, this award brought her such a big bonus.

It's because I don't have enough experience. Those big directors have long seen through the nature of the Golden Horse Awards, and none of them came.

Fans are also making all kinds of memes under Liu Tianxian’s Weibo.

"Haha, I advise you to be kind!"

"Haha, the Golden Horse hurt Xixi too badly. If we don't give it to Gong Huang, we won't give it to her even if we give it to an unknown person."

“To put it bluntly, it’s local protectionism.”

"Nominated five times, failed five times, and still protecting his own people, who understands?"

"Support Sissi, the principal, protect our Sissi!"

Even if netizens don't say anything, Fang Hong will protect Liu Tianxian. The Golden Horse Awards are nothing in his eyes.

He can only make waves in Taiwan, but not at all in the mainland. Even Taiwanese filmmakers would give him a wide berth when they see the principal.

This incident can be said to be a huge blow to the reputation of the Golden Horse Awards.

No one remembers that Chen Jianbin won three Golden Horse Awards. They only remember that Liu Tianxian and Gong Huang angrily criticized the Golden Horse Awards, and all the traffic was sucked away by these two.

The Golden Horse Awards' credibility was hit once before. In 2010, Feng Kuzi's "Aftershock" received three nominations, including Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress and Best Visual Effects, but she did not win the last award.

Feng Kuazi was so angry that "Aftershock" won nothing at the Golden Horse Awards that he made a scene at the awards ceremony and never came again.

The blow that time was not big. After all, Feng Kuzi could not compare with Gong Huang in terms of authority, but of course he was stronger than Liu Tianxian.

This time, first Gong Huang angrily criticized the Golden Horse Awards for being unprofessional and an amateur award; then Liu Tianxian said "hehe", which dealt a big blow to the reputation of the Golden Horse Awards.

Needless to say, Gong Huang is an authority in the entire world film industry and a figure who will go down in film history.

There is no need to say anything about Liu Tianxian, the principal was standing behind her.

As long as she wants, half of the new generation of actors and directors in the domestic entertainment industry, such as Chen Sicheng, Wen Muye, Lu Yang, Deng Chao, etc., will not dare to go to the Golden Horse Awards. The reason is that they are afraid of the principal.

In addition, big directors and some mainstream well-known actors, such as Chen Daoming, Tang Guoqiang, Wang Zhiwen, etc. will not go either.

In fact, the current Golden Horse Awards are partly supported by Hong Kong artistes and directors. It’s just that the Hong Kong Film Awards are not competitive and like to play on their own. Otherwise, there would be no Golden Horse Awards.

What does Formosa have? Its film industry is basically dead. Its actors are not as good as those in Hong Kong, its film history is not as glorious as that in Hong Kong, and its film influence is even worse.

Moreover, Hong Kong has an advantageous position.

There is no comparison between the two places, it’s just that the people there are too arrogant. Those who understand will understand.

Public opinion is also constantly hyping this matter.

"Gong Li blasted the Golden Horse Awards for being unfair and unprofessional: I will not participate in the future if people look down on me. Netizens praised Gong Li for her criticism!"

"Liu Tianxian is 'hahaha', dissatisfied with the Golden Horse results!"

"Emperor Gong missed the Golden Horse Award by one vote!"

"Shocking! Two actresses openly tearing apart the Golden Horse Awards. Unprecedented!"

Such self-media headlines are everywhere, and the noise is so rampant that it will not stop for at least a month.

This is naturally caused by someone behind the scenes fanning the flames.

The reason is to attack the Golden Horse Awards and make a comparison with the Macau Film Festival, so that people can know who is more professional.

Unexpectedly, someone sent me a pillow.

Fang Hong called Gong Huang and asked her to attend the Macau Film Festival. As long as this person could come to participate, the authority could be said to be greatly enhanced.

"I'm sorry, Principal. I'm a straightforward person. I'm very tired recently and not very interested in this kind of film festival." Gong Huang said.

What she meant was that she was heartbroken and was afraid that her name would be used again to hype up the film festival and increase its popularity.

In her impression, Macau is just a small film festival.

"Do you have any concerns? Tell me." Fang Hong said.

"I'm not worried about anything, but I don't want to be a pawn of others to increase the publicity of the film festival." Gong Huang did not shy away from speaking his mind!
If I go to the Macau Film Festival, it will definitely be hyped up.

"Well, you come to participate in the Macau Film Festival, but just keep it a secret before that. Before the film festival opens, if you see any news about your participation in the Macau Film Festival, you don't have to come." Fang Hong was straightforward.

"Then what is your purpose in looking for me?" Gong Huang was very confused.

I think the principal approached her just to raise the profile of the film festival. How can it be raised without using her to hype it up?

“Of course, it is to enhance the authority of the film festival.”

Fang Hong did not hide it and said again: "My purpose is just to have a fair, just and professional film exhibition for ourselves, there is no other purpose."

This made Gong Huang somewhat hesitant. He didn't expect that the principal was a person with great ideals and feelings.

This was a bit beyond her perception. In her eyes, the principal was a very hot-tempered person who would attack anyone if they disagreed with him, so she was usually indifferent to him.

I have a better impression of Liu Tianxian. That girl is quite nice.

But she didn't know whether what this person said was true or not.

"I cooperate with Macau because there are not too many political entanglements and ideological issues here, and we can maintain fairness and justice to the greatest extent possible." Fang Hong said again. Macau does not have these problems very often.

"If I go, will you give me the Best Actress Award?" Gong Huang asked.

"It's not me who judges the awards. It's the jury that judges the awards. I can't interfere with who wins and who doesn't," said Fang Hong.

"I don't even know if I can win the prize, so what's the point of me going?"

Emperor Gong asked, and then said: "If it's like the Golden Horse Awards again, I will lose all my face."

"Sister, do you want me to tell you the Best Actress result? Then what's the difference between our award and those water-cooler awards?" Fang Hong asked back.

These words made Gong Huang stunned for a moment, and he felt that it made sense.

If the principal revealed the winners of the film festival to her in advance, it would be no different from an insider information.

"Our winners are kept confidential. I don't know whether you will win the prize or not. I dare not make such a guarantee. I can only say that if you come, we will guarantee your reputation and will not use you for hype or anything." Fang Hong said.

This made Gong Huang a little interested, and he wanted to see what the film festival organized by the principal was like.

"Okay, if nothing happens by then, I'll go take a look." Gong Huang agreed.

Anyway, if she is used for hype, she won't go and will also criticize the other party. Then the Macau Film Festival will probably be a failure even if it doesn't get any success.

The Macau Film Festival is not like the Golden Horse Awards, which have authority that can be consumed. The Macau Film Festival needs to rebuild its authority. If it is attacked by Emperor Gong, it will be difficult for this award to establish its authority.

Because Gong Huang is the representative of this kind of authority.

After the two of them finished talking on the phone, they hung up. Liu Tianxian asked from the side: "How is it? Did she agree?"

"I basically agree, but it's a pity that we can't use her for hype. If we can use her for hype, she will get more attention." Fang Hong said with regret.

But he has been hurt before, so you have to be careful.

The two have returned to Beijing and came back the day after the Golden Horse Film Festival.

"Hey, don't always think about taking shortcuts. It's not something that can be achieved overnight. You need to do it slowly." Liu Tianxian comforted.

A film festival is not like anything else. It needs to slowly build up its authority. This cannot be bought with money; it takes time.

The Golden Horse Awards have only achieved their glory after being held for more than 50 years.

"Madam is right." Fang Hong pinched her little nose.

Liu Tianxian smiled and hit him: "Hey, then I'll go to Macau some other day?"

"Go ahead, and call me when you get there." Fang Hong said.

The Macau Film Festival opens on December 12 this year, the day before New Year's Day.

Liu Tianxian will serve as the image ambassador to shoot some promotional videos for the Macau Film Festival, as well as promotional videos of Macau street scenes.

This is for image enhancement and promotion purposes.

Of course, this also requires remuneration, and tens of millions will be enough according to the market value.

Macau is also vomiting blood. These two are too good at playing. The budget is 100 million, but they took one-tenth of it home.

The more I think about it, the more I shouldn't have agreed to pay half. I should have fixed it at 10 or 20 million.

But there is no way, what has been agreed cannot be changed.

The Golden Horse Awards are still being criticized by netizens and the media, and a piece of news was also revealed online.

"Liu Tianxian joins the Macau Film Festival and serves as the image ambassador of the Macau Film Festival!"

It is accompanied by a fairy-like picture of a woman wearing a light blue long dress and a floor-length cape, with the city street scene of Macau and a fountain behind her.

The whole picture looks fresh and beautiful, gentle and sweet, and also has a sense of fashion and grandeur.

There is only one photo, the follow-up photos have not been taken yet.

Liu Tianxian also posted this promotional photo of the image ambassador on Weibo, which attracted countless fans to lick the screen: "Sister is so beautiful!"

"Come on, sister, defeat the Golden Horse!"

It will take some time to shoot the promotional photos and videos, and we will also have to do some interviews to build up momentum for the Macau Film Festival.

This has never happened before. There was no image ambassador for the Macau Film Festival before.

The relevant tourism departments in Macau will later post these posters and videos on the streets of Macau and play them on outdoor large screens for Macau residents and tourists to watch.

These were the resources that Macau was going to invest in the initial collaboration.

Apart from people in the industry, outside netizens are still unaware that this film festival has the participation of Yutu and Chang'e, and that it still uses the government's brand.

This was agreed upon at the beginning, Yutu and Chang'e were just co-organizers.

The work of the Macau Film Festival is progressing step by step, and Fang Hong has also invited some people to participate in the film festival.

I made an invitation letter and sent it to Chen Daoming, Fan Xiaopang, Li Bailian, Deng Chao, Zhang Ziyi and others.

Those who can come can come, and those who can’t come can forget it.

There is no such thing as nominations at this Macau Film Festival. As long as the films are shortlisted, they can participate in this film festival.

This is to avoid the habit of some people who come only if there are rewards and don't come if there are no rewards.
