From traffic to movie star

Chapter 96 Rejection
Whenever it comes to the year-end awards season, it is the most lively time in the film industry.

The focus of this year's film awards is on the Shanghai Film Festival.

The Beijing Film Festival is usually held one year staggered from the Shanghai Film Festival, and the Flower Market Film Festival happened to be the same year as the Beijing Film Festival last year, so this year's film awards, only the Shanghai Film Festival is left.

Compared with the Beijing Film Festival, which is the most authoritative of the Huaxia Film Awards, the Shanghai Film Festival's initial selection is actually based on public votes.

The popular vote, in other words, is the popularity of celebrities.

So when the Shanghai Film Festival just started voting in September this year, Wei Xun's fans had already locked in the award for Best Supporting Actor.

In the film "Forensic Medicine Chronicle", Chen Zixing, played by Wei Xun, successfully interprets the two personalities of innocence and jealousy. In retrospect, many people still praise Chen Zixing's 3-minute long shot highlight scene in the operating room.

Although "Wuwen Xidong" participated in the selection of the Shanghai Film Festival, this film has not yet been released, so it does not participate in the public vote, and the judges directly review the shortlist.

As for Wei Xun, the only one left to participate in the selection is Chen Zixing, the supporting actor.

From March to now in November, in just over half a year, Wei Xun completed a reversal of his reputation on the Internet and won the favor of the public.

But favorability is often false.

Not to mention that since winning the court trial with Tianguang in August, Wei Xun has been filming with peace of mind, and there is no news that he is looking for a new owner.

Wei Xun's fans are also secretly worried about their idol.

If at this time, Wei Xun can achieve something in the Shanghai Film Festival, then with this movie trophy, Wei Xun can completely remove the label of traffic, not only to prove his own strength, but if he finds a new owner next, Holding this award will also give me more confidence.

Therefore, Miss Lavender attaches great importance to this Best Supporting Actor.

The day before the Shanghai Film Festival announced its nominations, the number of votes for Best Supporting Actor Chen Zixing reached an astonishing nearly 2000 million, more than five times the number of votes for Supporting Actor No.2.

Not only for the supporting actor, but also for the entire Shanghai Film Festival, Wei Xun's number of votes can be said to be the best, firmly occupying the first place in the total number of votes.

Seeing the results of this vote, netizens are feeling Wei Xun's popularity.

"As expected of Wei Xun, I have nothing to say about his popularity."

"If Wei Xun can win the best supporting actor this time, it's actually not bad. Chen Zixing's performance is really good."

"Yes, and this year is a small year for movies, the competition for supporting actors is not fierce, maybe Wei Xun can really win an award this time."

"Am I going to witness Wei Xun's rapid transformation from traffic to power within a year?"

"Inexplicably looking forward to it."

On the Internet, there are many voices about Wei Xun's ability to win the male supporting role in the Shanghai Film Festival.

After all, as netizens said, this year is a small year for movies, and there are not many outstanding movie supporting actors, and Wei Xun himself is very popular, so for the Shanghai Film Festival, which is initially shortlisted for awards based on popularity , at least the nomination is very stable.

There is a saying, nomination is affirmation.

With nominations, maybe the next step will be an award.

Wei Xun's house.

"Brother Xun, what did you say?"

Mao Bin looked at Wei Xun with a face full of surprise, and asked, "Do you want me to appease the fans in advance? We obviously got the highest votes."

No wonder Mao Bin was surprised.

Seeing that this morning, the list of nominations for the Shanghai Film Festival will be announced, but Wei Xun just told Mao Bin that he should ask Mao Bin to appease the fans in advance and prepare for not being nominated for awards.

"If everything has to be voted on, then the rules in this circle are too simple." Wei Xun shook his head and said, "Go, say hello to a few big fans first, and come out." As a result, fans who rebounded will be restrained in the future.”

Mao Bin was a little reluctant when he heard the words, but he still went to say hello to Wei Xun's big fans in advance.

Artist teams and fans are actually connected.

After Wei Xun fell out with Tianguang Media, his manager Mao Bin negotiated with the fans.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, after the Shanghai Film Festival opened for voting, Wei Xun asked Mao Bin to greet fans in advance, so that he didn't have to work hard to vote.

But Wei Xun's big fans are all stubborn little girls, who gritted their teeth and led the fans to vote day and night, and finally a terrifying 2000 million votes were cast.

The idea of ​​fans is very simple, they just want to give the best glory to their idols.

But as Wei Xun said, this rule is based on the Shanghai Film Festival where nominations can be obtained by voting. Sometimes it is not that you can be nominated if you vote first.

It sounds contradictory, but it is what it is.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the nominations for the Shanghai Film Festival were released on the express platform.

Among them, the most eye-catching movie is "Wuwen Xidong", which won five nominations for Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Cinematography. Other films.

The nomination for Best Actress is Wang Jiamin played by Zhai Qing, and the nomination for Best Actor is Zhang Guoguo played by Jiang Duzhou.

It is worth mentioning that Jiang Duzhou won two nominations for Best Actor in this film festival.

Another best male lead comes from Song Yi in "Forensic Chronicle".

And Shao Bing won the best director nomination for "Forensic Chronicle".

Because Wei Xun ranked first in the vote this time, netizens also paid close attention to his nomination, but everyone was surprised to find that from the beginning to the end, the nomination of this Shanghai Film Festival perfectly avoided Wei Xun.

Because Wei Xun's name did not appear in the nomination list.

Netizens were very surprised, while Wei Xun's fans were devastated.

"We don't want to cause trouble, but the organizers should at least give us an explanation, the number one vote but no nomination?"

"Isn't the rule of the Shanghai Film Festival based on popularity voting to determine the selection, and finally the judges decide the winners? My family dare not expect to win an award, but why are no nominations given?"

"Wei Xun's performance can't be said to be very good, at least it's up to the criteria for being shortlisted, and our number of votes is still number one."

"It's so sad, why is it like this."

Fans were still expecting Wei Xun to win the award, but they did not expect such a result.

Obviously, Wei Xun was rejected by the Shanghai Film Festival.

Fortunately, Mao Bin communicated with the big fans in advance, and the big fans came forward to appease the fans. Although the fans felt depressed, there was no trouble.

"Brother Xun, it has been calmed down for the time being."

After communicating with the fans, Mao Bin came to the living room a little tired, with anger and confusion in his eyes: "The fans want to ask me for a reason, but who should we ask for a reason?"

"Reason? Binzi, since I decided not to join any entertainment film company and prepare to go it alone, there is no reason for any unfair treatment we encounter in the future."

Wei Xun was sitting on the sofa watching the list of winners of the Shanghai Film Festival announced by the newsletter. Hearing Mao Bin's words, he raised his head and said calmly: "This is where we are going. The road ahead will only become more and more difficult."
