Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1042 Audience Vote
"Mr. Lin, long time no see."

One week before the Golden Statue Awards, Lin Daoqiu invited Ma Shaoqiang, the boss of Oriental Daily, out for tea.

In order to reform the Golden Image Awards this year, Lin Daoqiu chose the model of audience voting for the first time, and the object of cooperation is "Oriental Daily".

In the award selection of the second Academy Awards, the judges accounted for [-]%, and directors, screenwriters, and actors will be invited to be judges.

The industry insiders and the audience each account for [-]% of the votes to determine the final award.

After the announcement of all the nominees for the Golden Image Awards, "Oriental Daily" launched a movie-related magazine in conjunction with the Golden Image Awards.

After purchasing the magazine, viewers can cut out the ballots on the last page and send them back to Oriental Daily.

As for whether there will be fakes, it is entirely possible to buy a large number of votes in magazines and vote for a certain person or a certain movie.

Fortunately, the votes of the audience only account for [-]% of the proportion. Unless there will be a very even situation, otherwise it is generally difficult to determine the ownership of the award.

And allowing the audience to participate in the Golden Statue Awards is also a kind of publicity for the Golden Statue Awards, making citizens interested in the Golden Statue Awards, thereby increasing the status of the Golden Statue Awards in the hearts of the general public.

"The magazine sold [-] copies within a month, and received a total of [-] valid votes. These votes were sent to the preparatory committee for the Academy Awards."

Ma Shaoqiang did Lin Daoqiu a great favor this time, but the sales volume of each issue of this magazine is around [-] copies, which can be regarded as a small contribution to "Oriental Daily".

"Without Mr. Ma's help, it would have been really difficult for the audience to vote for the Academy Awards this time."

Lin Daoqiu's words are polite. It doesn't matter if "Oriental Daily" doesn't help. Lin Daoqiu can think of other ways.

However, in comparison, he is still more used to cooperating with acquaintances, at least Ma Shaoqiang and himself are quite compatible.

The last time Liao Bing imitated them, he wanted to use the "Oriental Daily" to take the lead in making himself bad.

Ma Shaoqiang is a smart person. Although he was hindered by his elders, he still informed himself, which was considered as the utmost benevolence for Lin Daoqiu.

So after the Golden Statue Awards last year, Lin Daoqiu asked Ma Shaoqiang for help, and the other party immediately agreed.

Running one more magazine is not difficult for Ma Shaoqiang at all.

And he can also let Lin Daoqiu owe him a favor, how could Ma Shaoqiang not do such a good thing.

"Mr. Lin is too polite, it's just a little effort."

Ma Shaoqiang smiled and shook his hand.

Although Ma Shaoqiang didn't care about it, Lin Daoqiu couldn't help but accept the other party's love.

Fortunately, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" also made "Oriental Daily" a lot of money before, otherwise Ma Shaoqiang would not have put in so much effort to help him.

Everyone is mutually beneficial. If there is any novel in the future, it can be regarded as repaying Ma Shaoqiang's favor by getting it to cooperate in the "Oriental Daily".

"Mr. Lin, the serialization of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is about to end. I wonder if you have another work?"

For "Oriental Daily", the novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has greatly increased the sales of "Oriental Daily".

Now that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is coming to an end, if the serialization ends, if there is no novel of the same level and influence, the sales of the newspaper will definitely drop.

But in Xiangjiang, there are only a few famous writers, and it is impossible for Jin Yong to get his book serialized in Oriental Daily.

As for Ni Kuang, he is a very suitable candidate, but his "Wesley" series obviously cannot compare with Lin Daoqiu's "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Looking left and right, the best way now is to ask Lin Daoqiu to write a novel, so that the sales of "Oriental Daily" can be maintained.

Regarding this matter, Lin Daoqiu had never even thought about it before.

Because even "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he asked Huang Ying to serialize it, and he only provided a plot outline.

If he were to publish a novel now, then Lin Daoqiu might have to seriously think about what to write.

"Boss Ma, to tell you the truth, I haven't actually thought about writing a novel until now. After all, I'm really busy with film work, so I don't have time to write novels at all."

Lin Daoqiu was not fooling Ma Shaoqiang, but he was really busy.

And even if he had time, Lin Daoqiu would not spend his time writing novels.

After all, he is not short of money now, and Lin Daoqiu doesn't like the money he earns from novels. Instead of spending time on writing novels, it's better to make more movies.

In fact, before coming here, Ma Shaoqiang had expected that it would be difficult for him to get the novel from Lin Daoqiu this time.

But he couldn't help but want to give it a try, and the result naturally disappointed him.

"Actually, I also know that Mr. Lin is very busy, so let's put the novel aside for now."

Since Lin Daoqiu couldn't write, Ma Shaoqiang had to find a way to stabilize the sales of "Oriental Daily".

All he can think of now is to get Ni Kuang's new book to be serialized in "Oriental Daily". Even if the sales volume doesn't increase, at least it won't drop too much.

After all, Ni Kuang is considered a very famous author in Xiangjiang. Although he is not as good as Jin Gu, he is still considered a best-selling author.

Lin Daoqiu didn't know what Ma Shaoqiang was thinking at this time, but even if he knew, he wouldn't have too many thoughts.

After all, "Oriental Daily" invited Ni Kuang to publish the book for the sake of the newspaper's sales. Although he didn't like Ni Kuang very much, he would never say anything about this matter.

…………

The annual Golden Statue Awards will be held soon. Compared with the last one, everyone has begun to pay more attention to the Hong Kong Film Festival created by Lin Daoqiu.

But the power of the Academy Awards has not yet been revealed, so even though the attention is much higher than last year, everyone's attention is still focused on which stars will participate in the awards ceremony this year.

After all, last year was unprecedentedly grand, Xiangjiang was almost famous, and almost all the stars who are currently active in the film industry came to participate.

If anyone was absent this year, it would be tantamount to not giving Lin Daoqiu face.

On the side of Baocheng Cinemas, whether to participate in the Academy Awards this year has become a question.

"Lin Daoqiu will definitely instruct the judges to award all the awards to their people. We are just sitting on the sidelines to join in the fun."

Shi Tian felt that going to participate in the Academy Awards would be a cold shoulder, and it would be better not to go.

"If you don't go, you can't. Mr. Pan has already explained that anyone who can go must go."

Although Cen Jianxun couldn't figure out why Pan Disheng supported the Academy Awards, but this was what he meant, and Cen Jianxun couldn't ask any more questions.

Except for Shi Tian, ​​the attitude of the others was quite casual, it didn't matter to join in the fun anyway, but they didn't have any hope of winning the prize.
