Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 188 Golden Horse Awards

……

……

—To Xiamen Airport,

Is it swollen?

"Boss, it looks a little swollen."

How swollen?

"It's more swollen than the last time we went to the beach."

Zhao Ya covered her mouth and laughed, "Little Ears has learned bad habits."

“I’ve gone astray too, and it’s not just her.”

"Neither take the initiative nor refuse."

Gu Qing closed the mirror, handed it to Zhao Ya, and said self-deprecatingly, "Just like a scumbag."

It seems that the longer I stay in this industry, the more 'accustomed' I become to physical contact.

He's almost become numb to the fact that every time they meet, it's a hug or a cheek kiss.

"Boss, how could that be?"

Zhao Ya disagreed: "If you're a scumbag, then there are no good people in the entertainment industry."

"When actors film kissing scenes, even older actors from decades ago do it this way. If you avoid it, the audience will criticize you for being shameful. This is doing your job properly."

"Moreover, there are far too many examples in the industry of scenes where people have to do several hours of retakes or film kissing scenes for several days in a row, including those kinds of things..."

"Boss, you're already very clean. No normal person, male or female, can resist this kind of physiological reaction when faced with handsome men and beautiful women."

Zhao Ya spoke up in defense, saying, "Besides, boss, you were taken advantage of, but they're the ones who're happy. Some male actors can even secretly stick out their tongues while filming these kinds of scenes. Did you do that?"

"I do not have."

Gu Qing shook his head. He didn't reach out, but... someone couldn't resist.

"Let's change the subject. Is there any work to do next?"

"Boss, we have a lot of backlogs in the schedule."

Zhao Ya opened her phone and looked for the schedule sent by the company. "There are many important events, such as the year-end galas."

"Because of the huge success of 'The Journey of Flower,' Huangguo TV invited you, boss, to participate in this year's New Year's Eve gala. You need to rehearse the song 'Rings of Time' as soon as possible."

"It's worth mentioning that while Chris Wu is on Jiangsu TV, Lu Han has announced that he will be joining 'Running Man' next year, having received an invitation from Jiangsu TV for their New Year's Eve special."

The three top celebrities basically never meet.

Each person owns a satellite TV channel, and the competition is all about viewership ratings.

However, it is clear that Gu Qing still has the advantage.

Huangguo TV is a large and powerful network, and its New Year's Eve gala has consistently ranked first in viewership among all satellite TV channels.

Until last year,

They were defeated by the wildly popular Running Man cast, breaking their undefeated streak.

It is worth mentioning that,
14 years ago,
Each local TV station can also host its own local Spring Festival Gala program.

Young viewers who are tired of making dumplings
This caused CCTV's ratings to plummet to rock bottom, prompting them to quickly introduce new policies.

This is why no television station can broadcast more than three galas at the same time.

Furthermore, each TV station can only choose one of the following to host: the New Year's Day Gala, the New Year's Eve Gala, or the Spring Festival Gala.

The New Year's Eve gala became the only way for powerful local TV stations to compete.

"What's the order of appearance?"

"Boss, they haven't revealed anything yet, but it's impossible for their numbers to be higher than yours."

Zhao Ya said with great enthusiasm, "Huangguotai values ​​us very much. They gave us the third to last place, which is second only to the finale. It's considered the ceiling for all young artists right now."

To be able to offer such good treatment,
This is also inseparable from several factors related to Gu Qing.

First, the traffic and fame must be large enough to withstand the pressure.

Secondly, they have works.
The phenomenal success of "The Journey of Flower"
There's also an unreleased drama called "Legend of Nine Tails Fox," which Huangguo TV is hoping will become the next hit series.

in addition,

He recorded an episode of Happy Camp, which was very successful, and he also got along very well with He Jiong.

As the host of the annual gala, he wields considerable influence; a few kind words from him can have a significant impact.

Furthermore,
Gu Qing parted ways with Running Man again.

This is a precious treasure for the enemy station. Doesn't the TV station have any traitors like Cao Cao?
Other people's tastes better!
In every aspect,

This led Huang Guotai to give an extremely exaggerated order of appearance.

"Who will be the final performer at Mango TV this year?" Gu Qing asked curiously. "Which superstar will it be? I'd like to get their autograph."

"It's Brother Chun!" Zhao Ya exclaimed excitedly.

"Who?" Gu Qing asked blankly.

"Brother Chun, boss, the one who debuted from Super Girl!"

"Oh, it's her..."

Gu Qing suddenly remembered and couldn't contain her curiosity any longer, "How come she's such a big star?"

In the shows he used to watch,

Without exception, all of them are featured in the center position.
He attends major ceremonies, including those in the prestigious fashion industry, and is a prominent figure in the field.

In terms of status,
Even the Four Dan and Two Bing can't compare to her.

This has sparked a lot of complaints and dissatisfaction from viewers.

"Boss, it's because of Brother Chun (Chris Lee)!"

Zhao Ya, looking like a devoted fan, helped him answer his questions.

The 05 Super Girl competition was an absolute phenomenon.

Back then,
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the streets were deserted.

In an era before the internet was widespread, Li Yuchun's number one ranking was truly earned through the votes of the audience.
She won with an astonishing 352 million votes, which means she has a very high level of popularity among the people.

Back then, families that could afford to vote with their mobile phones were considered well-off.

Its commercial value is naturally terrifyingly high.

In terms of its explosive influence,
It even spread to South Korea.

This caught the eye of SM Entertainment's CEO, Lee Soo-man, who then generously offered his services.
Launch: Second-generation girl group 'FX'
One of the members (Amber) embodies Chris Lee's personal style.

Another well-known Chinese female member is: 'Song Qian'.

This can be considered as pioneering the 'androgynous style' track.

After Zhao Ya finished explaining with great enthusiasm, she continued her report.

"Boss, besides the New Year's Eve gala, there are also one music extravaganza after another at the end of the year."

Zhao Ya's voice carried a hint of excitement, "Several songs you released this year, from the earliest 'Just Met You,' 'Puppet Show,' 'Watching from the Wall,' to 'Rings of Time,' have all received nominations and awards."

You've basically been nominated for all the major award ceremonies like the 'Music Billboard Awards,' 'Top Chinese Music Awards,' and 'Global Chinese Music Awards.'
And it's not just one award; he's also nominated for Best Male Singer, Song of the Year, Most Popular Male Singer, and more!

I reckon I'll have to go to several events to collect trophies.

She paused, then turned to the next page of the schedule: "Also, we need to shoot commercials for the newly secured endorsements as soon as possible. There are three luxury brand endorsement contracts waiting to be signed."
Two are popular food brands with high national recognition, and the other is Clear Men's Shampoo.
The advertising script and shooting schedule have been tentatively finalized; we're just waiting for your confirmation of availability.

Gu Qing leaned back in her chair, listening to a long list of work assignments, feeling a dull ache in her temples.

Sure enough, filming is the easiest thing.

"Too much."

He rubbed his temples and said decisively, "For music ceremonies, pick two or three with the biggest influence and the highest exposure."

For other things, try to postpone them if possible, or have the company send someone to collect them on your behalf. Try to schedule endorsement shoots within a single timeframe, avoiding spreading them out too much.

Zhao Ya quickly wrote down: "Okay, boss, I understand. I will coordinate with the company to prioritize important schedules and your rest time."

She swiped her finger down again, and when she saw the last item, her expression became more serious: "Oh right, boss, there are two important film awards as well."

It refers to the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Awards mentioned before.
You were nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Rooster Awards, and at the Golden Horse Awards, the entire film crew was nominated for Best Film and Best Costume Design.

Both award nominations are significant.
The Golden Horse Awards are one of the three major awards in the Chinese-language film industry, with a long history and influence that extends throughout the Chinese-speaking world.

The Golden Rooster Awards are becoming increasingly authoritative film awards in mainland China.

"I have no chance of winning the Golden Rooster Award, so why would I go there and embarrass myself? I might even get ridiculed."

Gu Qing glanced at the street scenes rushing past the car window: "Let's go to Jinma."

Zhao Ya was not surprised by this decision.

The Golden Horse Awards have a greater platform and influence, especially in expanding into Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas markets, than the Golden Rooster Awards, and are more in line with Gu Qing's current development plan.

"Okay, I will make sure to prioritize the Golden Horse Awards schedule."

Zhao Ya nodded, "We may need to politely decline the Golden Rooster Award or coordinate depending on the situation, since there might be a time conflict."

Gu Qing hummed in agreement.

The car drove smoothly, and the conversation inside came to a temporary halt.

After what seemed like an eternity, the car finally slowed down and gradually merged into the traffic flow at the airport departure level…
