Get the perfect music system at the start

Xu Fan's film "Lost and Love" is excellent in terms of script, actors, plot, and other aspects.

Even if it can't be called perfect, it must be admitted that this movie is definitely not bad.

Therefore, it seems that the award issued by the Lorenzo was somewhat intentional.

Finally, Zhao Feiyang received a text message on his phone. It was a contact number, and he dialed the number without hesitation.

Essentially, he and Xu Fan are fellow students, but on another level, he is Xu Fan's manager.

He had to handle this situation properly, so he didn't hesitate at all. Upon hearing the voice on the other end, Zhao Feiyang asked in a questioning tone, "Hello, I am Zhao Xing, the agent of Mr. Xu Fan from Superstar Studio. I request that you cancel this award application. We did not apply for the award."

Most film awards involve several stages.

For example, when it comes to award applications, some directors, after making a big movie, will apply for various awards everywhere, because having awards will enhance the movie's appeal and at least serve as a selling point to attract audiences.

Another issue is nomination. A film nomination doesn't guarantee selection, just like an application process, where nominations don't guarantee selection.

However, under normal circumstances, once an application is successful, a preliminary selection will be conducted, after which the better films will be nominated.

Because "Lost and Found" was Xu Fan's first film, Zhao Feiyang wanted to apply for awards, but Xu Fan rejected him because he felt that the film was not yet ready.

However, Warner Bros. issued the order without submitting a declaration.

The fact that there wasn't even a mention of a nomination is really infuriating.

Upon hearing Zhao Feiyang's words, the person in charge on the other end spoke in fluent Mandarin: "Sir, please trust the fairness and impartiality of our organizers and judges. Mr. Xu's film 'Lost and Found' has a very good plot, visuals, and performances. Winning the Best Director award is absolutely well-deserved. Mr. Xu Fan's acting skills are also very impressive. Therefore, the Best Actor award is a result we reached after several rounds of selection."

That sounds nice, but the key point is that it's not true.

Zhao Feiyang said coldly, "Sir, I'll say it again, please cancel this selection."

The voice on the other end said calmly, "I'm sorry, sir, it has been decided that we will make an official announcement as soon as possible."

After I finished speaking, the phone went dead.

Zhao Feiyang, with his obese body and heavy breathing, did not look too well.

This is outrageous! After thinking for a moment, he dialed another number.

For him now, the only thing to do is to try every possible way to cancel the list of winners before the awards are officially announced.

But reality is often different from what we imagine.

Just as Xu Fan returned to Zhonghai, and while Zhao Feiyang was still making phone calls trying to find a solution...

News of Xu Fan winning the Warner Music Award has spread rapidly online.

The internet exploded immediately.

This topic instantly became a trending topic on Weibo, and it even felt like someone had helped to get it trending.

In less than half an hour, the news of Xu Fan's award was trending at number one on Weibo. However, after reading the news, netizens were all amazed and incredulous.

"My God, how did Fan Ge apply for a Warner Award? That's unbelievable!"

"I can't believe it. How could such an excellent film as 'Lost and Love' be chosen by the Warner Bros. Awards organizers? Is 'Lost and Love' too bad, or has the Warner Bros. Awards raised its selection criteria?"

“Even if the standards are raised, I don’t think it’s good enough. You know, the Warner Bros. Awards are known for bad movies, so how can ‘Lost and Love’ be considered a bad movie?”

"Kris Wu's directing skills are admirable, and he is one of the most popular celebrities today. So why would he choose to expand his influence in this way? I think it's completely unnecessary."

"There's no need to add one. I just can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out."

""

Various comments emerged one after another under the Weibo topic.

However, almost all the comments follow a few similar themes, guiding netizens' responses and comments.

The first point is that Xu Fan personally applied for such a worthless award, which shows how much effort he put into making himself more famous!

The second tone is that they don't understand why Xu Fan would choose this method, and feel that it's completely unnecessary.

There's another type of person, the complete bystander. We don't make a fuss or laugh. If something happens, we just become keyboard warriors or bystanders, muttering a few words and that's it. We never think too much about it.

When Xu Fan got off the plane and rushed to his studio, he saw this topic and almost exploded with anger.

Not long after arriving at the studio, the fat man ran over and said, "That Luo Na is infuriating, he's doing it on purpose."

Xu Fan said, "I have a feeling that I've been tricked."

Zhao Feiyang said, "Fortunately, the organizers of the event haven't made any statements yet."

As he spoke, he opened Weibo and said, "Look here, holy crap, this is toxic."

Xu Fan quickly checked and found it was a complete slap in the face. Zhao Feiyang had barely finished speaking and hadn't even made a statement yet when Warner Motherboard posted a message on Weibo using its official account:

The selection process involved evaluation by several renowned directors and actors. Mr. Xu Fan's directing and acting abilities were fully demonstrated in this film, making his receipt of these two awards entirely well-deserved.

If you look at this sentence from this perspective, then there's really no problem with it; on the contrary, it seems to be a compliment to Xu Fan.

The key point is that the organizers of the Lone Award added a sentence: "Please do not be angry or over-interpret the matter, Mr. Xu. The Lone Award is fair and impartial, and has absolutely no other intentions. It is only to select the best actors and directors in the film. Therefore, if Mr. Xu does not want to see it, he can choose to close his Weibo account, and we will mail the award to you later."

This was clearly done on purpose, and Xu Fan couldn't help but post about it on Weibo.

Just then, Zhao Feiyang, who was standing next to him, started laughing. Xu Fan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Zhao Feiyang said, "It's beneficial to maintain a good relationship with Tencent. Tencent sued them for disrupting the market and deliberately manipulating public opinion."

Xu Fan asked curiously, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with Tencent, does it?"

Zhao Feiyang said, "As long as we find a suitable excuse, there is no tough nut for Tencent's lawyers to crack. Jianfeng Investigation has always been a strength of Tencent's legal team."

Then Zhao Feiyang said, "Just stay put and I think this matter will be resolved soon."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Then what do we do?"

Zhao Feiyang said, "Superstar Studio and Starry Sky Pictures Group jointly boycotted the award's eligibility and guided public opinion through Weibo. I'm a professional at these things."

Xu Fan watched as Zhao Feiyang quickly logged into 278 QQ accounts and began posting a jumbled mess of messages, his aim being to guide Xu Fan's fans to resist this wave of hype.

As all of this began to take place, more opinions started to emerge online, most of which were in support of Xu Fan.

Of course, many people are questioning why Xu Fan was nominated.

In essence, the escalation of this matter has nothing to do with Tencent.

But the actions of the organizers of the event are truly infuriating.

Of course, from a businessman's perspective, Tencent still has no obligation or reason to assist Xu Fan.

However, when this happened, Tencent quickly assembled an excellent legal team and seized on certain pretexts to launch a counterattack, which was a good thing for Xu Fan.

What happened next made Xu Fan finally realize that he was no longer the naive young man he once was in the eyes of most netizens.

Even though he has only made one film so far, the film "Lost and Love" holds a different weight in everyone's hearts, no matter how you look at it.

Xu Fan can understand that when netizens watch this movie from his perspective, they will not only discuss whether the movie is good or bad in essence, but also the value and significance it brings to society.

The storyline of "Lost and Found" inherently represents something special, making it even more touching. In addition, after the release of the film, Fanxing Pictures launched the "Baby Come Home" column for "Lost and Found," which helped countless lost children.

It has also given a glimmer of hope to many more trafficked children, or their parents.

Regardless of the outcome of the story, it is clear that this story is truly touching.

In addition, Xu Fan went to great lengths to catch human traffickers and rescued many abducted women and children.

Professional film critics may have certain preferences or even demanding requirements regarding a film's techniques and cinematography, but most netizens are more emotional and will notice more details when commenting on a film's quality.

They pay particular attention to emotional expression.

Xu Fan's superb acting skills and the director's vision, Andy Lau's ruthlessness in making the film, and Xiao Zihan's serious attitude towards filmmaking.

These are things that cannot be directly experienced in movies, but most netizens have learned about them through various means.

Therefore, the online discussion quickly became one-sided.

This is especially true on domestic internet platforms. Of course, Zhao Feiyang deserves credit for this, as he controls a large portion of Xu Fan's real die-hard fans, whose love for Xu Fan is extremely strong.

Faced with an award as insulting as the Nobel Prize, netizens' anger is self-evident.

The entire internet is outraged and is boycotting the movement.

At first, the organizers behind Luo Na remained arrogant and overbearing, constantly appearing on the internet in a way that said, "Giving you this award is a recognition of you," directly confronting Xu Fan.

However, the emergence of Tencent and the overwhelmingly negative comments from netizens did not tarnish Xu Fan's reputation; instead, they prompted many people to rewatch "Lost and Found."

As a result, the number of views for "Lost and Love" on movie streaming platforms surged.

One scenario is the emergence of novelty.

Whether people had seen the film or not, they all had their own subjective judgments when this incident broke out, so many people began to flock to the internet to watch the movie.

At the same time, all sorts of self-media bloggers also took advantage of this trend to frantically generate buzz.

Various short videos and self-media articles have begun to appear on major platforms.

All of these posts share a common thread: regardless of the form in which they generate buzz, they ultimately praise the film for its touching aspects.

Besides viral content, making people cry and being moved is also the simplest and most effective way to make someone remember you.

The movie "Lost and Love" is inherently very tear-jerking. Whether it's the scene where Andy Lau is beaten or the scene where Xu Fan wants to see his mother but is stopped by Andy Lau, it's all very tear-jerking.

On this day, the entire internet was speaking out in support of Xu Fan.

In this way, the outcome no longer seems so important, just like what Zhao Feiyang said at this critical juncture.

He said, "Netizens have proven for you that this result is much better than any Nobel Prize. At least in my opinion, whether or not that award is given to you, the audience has already recognized you."

Xu Fan agreed with this, noting that both Tencent and netizens showed a consistent attitude on this matter, making him realize that he had unknowingly appeared in front of the public.

At least, he's no longer the dispensable teenager he once was.

When this matter came to an end and many real-world problems were gradually easing up, Zhao Feiyang called Xu Fan and said, "Now it seems that this matter was actually a good thing."

Xu Fan didn't seem to care much about it, and said, "It doesn't matter. How's the editing of the movie going?"

Zhao Feiyang shook his head and said, "I haven't asked about Fanxing Pictures yet. I'll ask about it later. I came to see you because I have something to tell you."

Xu Fan nodded and said, "Speak."

Without hesitation, Zhao Feiyang said with a single word, "The impact of this matter is beneficial to you, so my suggestion is, why don't you do a simple live stream and sing a song for your online audience?"

Xu Fan said, "No problem, there's nothing else to do anyway."
