Chapter 625: Golden Goblet Award Winner, Young Master Wei is Born
On June 6th, the 10rd Magnolia Awards was held in Shanghai.

Yin Tao shattered Da Mimi and Tang Yan’s dreams of winning the Best Actress award, and Sun Yizhou and Wang Kai were no match for Zhang Ze.

"Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" was crowned the best actor and best actress, becoming the biggest winner of this year's Magnolia Awards!
Apart from a few complaints from fans, this selection was still recognized by the majority of people.

Boss Wei still feels a little regretful. He is still thinking about which fan is dissatisfied and cyberbullies him, and then he will take the opportunity to make trouble and retire for a few months to take care of his children at home.

The reasons for cyber violence are also ready!

For example, Da Mimi in "Ode to Joy" was the second leading actress, but she was nominated for Best Actress together with Tang Yan, the first leading actress.

Sun Yizhou couldn't even make it into the top five in "My First Half of Life", but this time he replaced the male lead and the second male lead in the nomination for Best Actor.

Boss Wei was "extremely terrified" and was ready to "apologize", but no one came to him, leaving Wei Yang feeling helpless. He even prepared a draft of his apology statement.

"It's boring!"

Bored Boss Wei could only stay at home to take care of the pregnant woman. Liu Shishi's due date was only a few days away, and she had already started preparing to go to the hospital.

Liu Shishi also felt the pressure, so Wei Yang could only stay with her every day and would hardly go out unless necessary.

After failing to win the Magnolia Award for Best Actress, Da Mimi was the one who made the least fuss. It’s not that she didn’t want to make a fuss, but that she didn’t have the time.

"Eternal Love" is now on air!

The two first-tier TV stations in Zhejiang Province and Shanghai jointly broadcast the event, and PPTV opened a separate section for it. There were also countless discussions online and offline.

Although the two "Ode to Joy" trilogy did not make Da Mimi win the Magnolia Award for Best Actress, her popularity has always remained at the top level.

In the past two years, Zhao Liying's output has been relatively low, and she has not had any new works since "Strategy of the Palace of Destiny", while Liu Shishi switched to movies and retired.

Fan Xiaopang’s “My First Half of Life” is quite popular, but after all, it is only one drama, and the focus is more on movies.

In contrast, Da Mimi has been quite active in the past two years, producing many excellent works, and has become the most popular actress in the small screen.

Especially since the beginning of 2017, Liu Shishi retired, Fan Xiaopang and Zhao Liying were busy having children, and even when she became pregnant, she turned to behind-the-scenes work.

Da Mimi first made a big splash at the beginning of the year with "Ode to Joy 2", and then took advantage of the record-breaking "Detective Chinatown 2", becoming the highest-grossing actress at the commercial box office.

Not only did his career explode, but during the period when Liu, Zhao and Fan retired, he also amassed a lot of exposure and became a huge sensation.

It’s hard to say who is the most popular female star in 2017, but if we divide it into the first half of the year, Da Mimi is second and no one dares to say she is first.

Not to mention, there is also the equally popular Dilraba Dilmurat.

Da Mimi thanked herself countless times that she had tried her best to persuade Boss Wei to let Rouba join "Eternal Love".

After the hit of "Love O2O" last year, Rouba, who was already very popular, reached a new level in his career.

Similarly, Da Mimi has benefited a lot from the resources and exposure vacated by Liu, Zhao and Fan's temporary retirement, and Dilraba Dilmurat, who is at the top of the charts, has naturally also benefited a lot.

Da Mimi is the most popular female star in the first half of this year. Rouba is slightly inferior to her, but she is also out of the top three.

It is conceivable that the momentum of "Eternal Love" led by these two people is very strong.

Of course, Rouba’s role is not that big and it is more like a guest appearance, mainly to pave the way for “Three Lives Three Worlds, The Pillow Book”.

But she is so popular that no matter how many roles she has, she can be the main focus during promotions.

The collaboration of Yang and Rou is slightly inferior to the "Ode to Joy 2" which opened at the beginning of the year. It has also attracted much expectation and attention from the outside world and is regarded as a hot candidate for the 2017 TV drama king.

And "Eternal Love" did not disappoint this expectation.

The ratings were pretty good, with both satellite TV stations exceeding 1, taking the first and second place at the same time.

Although the ratings have steadily increased since then, the data is not particularly high, and many people expect it to be around 1.5.

This result is not disappointing. Since the beginning of this year, the ratings have fallen sharply again. Online broadcast data has completely replaced the ratings and become the key and core to measuring whether a drama is popular.

The valuations of video websites such as PPTV have soared, also under this general trend.

The fact that "Eternal Love" did not have strong ratings did not affect its being regarded as a hit, because it was popular enough on the Internet.

Twenty-four hours after its launch, the number of views exceeded 5 million, and later broke PPTV's record for the fastest website to reach 10 billion views.

The popularity of Hualuo.com exceeded 10,000 on the first day, and it won the daily and weekly championships for many consecutive days. It is very likely that it will also win the monthly championship.

The topic on Weibo easily broke through the 100 million mark, and in just a few days, all the actors in the crew gained nearly 10 million fans in total.

Among them, the one who gained the most fans is Zhang Binbin, an artist under Mixing Entertainment and also the male lead of "Eternal Love".

Da Mimi in this time and space is even more popular, and has Boss Wei as the financial sponsor, and also invited the popular Dilraba Dilmurat to make a guest appearance and cooperate in publicity.

There is no need to invite Taiwanese male stars to be the male lead. It would be better to support more newcomers.

Zhang Binbin himself is no ordinary newcomer. He played Zhang Qiling in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and is considered a popular young actor.

The real newcomers should be artists such as Gao Weiguang, Zhang Yunlong, Dai Si, Huang Mengying, Zhu Xudan from Mixing Entertainment, who play supporting roles in the drama.

I have to say that Da Mimi’s two partners are average at filming dramas, but they have a good eye for selecting people.

This group of people later on more or less made a name for themselves, and the best ones even started to play the leading roles in mainstream projects and firmly occupied the second line.

Before Zhang Binbin in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", there was another Zhang Ruoyun. In "Eternal Love", he is the well-deserved male lead. In addition, it is an ancient idol drama that attracts the most fans. His popularity has skyrocketed and his number of fans on Weibo changes every day.

This made Da Mimi even happier than her own fan gain. If this company could really create a top male star, Mixing Entertainment would make a fortune.

Gao Weiguang and others have also received a lot of exposure to varying degrees, and their fame is rising at an astonishing rate.

A role in a hit drama can change an actor's career. There are too many examples in the circle of a drama becoming extremely popular.

As for the people of Jiaxing in the previous life, they basically became famous because of "Eternal Love".

Even Zhu Xudan, who didn't make it big later on, went from being an 18th-tier actress to playing the role of Zhou Zhiruo in the new version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" after this drama.

The Jin Yong dramas of this era were indeed lagging, but no matter how good they were, they were still first-tier productions, and countless artists were scrambling to get them.

Just like Wei Yang had said to Da Mimi before, the most important thing for her about Eternal Love is not how much fame and exposure she gains personally, nor how much money she makes, but the progress of the entire company.

The explosive popularity of "Eternal Love" and the popularity of the artist group directly contributed to the market and capital's favor for Mixing.

Wei Yang has received news that someone is ready to invest in Mixing, with a guaranteed valuation of more than 20 billion. But Wei Yang asked Da Mimi to hold back.

In the last time and space, Jiaxing's valuation skyrocketed by nearly 20 times due to "Eternal Love". However, whether Jiaxing is stronger or weaker than the Jiaxing in the previous life, it is a fact that Jiaxing Entertainment has not yet fully tapped its potential.

At least after the broadcast of "Eternal Love" is finished and some of the dividends are digested, it will be the best time to negotiate.

In addition, Mihang is currently making good profits and has the financial backer Boss Wei behind it, so it is not short of money, so financing pays more attention to resources and channels.

Boss Wei also has these, but he definitely gives priority to his own companies. Besides, who would complain about having few resources and channels when starting a company?

It would be good for Da Mimi and Mixing to be able to obtain some conflict-free resources and channels outside the Blue Whale system.

...

June 6th, Closing Ceremony of Shanghai Film Festival
Wei Yang, who has not appeared in public since the Magnolia Awards, appeared at the award ceremony, wearing a close-fitting royal blue dark-patterned slim-fit suit, and he was still as handsome as ever.

What is surprising is that compared to the past, Wei Yang has a beard this time.

The stubble is not long, but slightly noticeable, concentrated on the upper lip and chin, adding a bit of mature charm.

Boss Wei rarely grew a beard in the past. Many people's impression of his appearance is more like the clean-cut boy in school uniform in his early years, or the young and vigorous official in "Joy of Life".

In fact, Boss Wei is almost 30 years old this year and is about to enter the golden age for men.

Maybe not old, but not young either.

For Boss Wei himself, he is about to enter a new stage and become the father of several children. Growing a beard is also a reminder to himself.

Stop wasting time and earn money to buy milk powder!
"This is the current jury president, Cristian Mungiu, a Romanian. He directed the Cannes Palme d'Or-winning film 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days."

Xu Qing, who is also a judge this year, introduced him to Wei Yang. Wei Yang nodded and said, "I know him. He won the Best Director Award at Cannes last year."

Then he switched to English: "Mr. Mengji, your film "Graduation Examination" is very exciting."

“Wei, your performance in ‘Wushuang’ is excellent. I am surprised that you are the screenwriter of this movie and you are so young.”

Mengji is not tall, has a square face, and his hairstyle and appearance are a bit like Jack Ma, which makes Boss Wei always want to laugh when talking to him.

Xu Qing and Meng Ji came over, not only to chat with him, but also to implicitly congratulate him on his winning and to curry favor with him.

In fact, there was no need for the two of them to inform Wei Yang. Boss Wei knew a long time ago that he would most likely win an award at the Shanghai Film Festival.

After all, this is considered the base camp of the Shanghai circle, and Mr. Wei, the boss of the organizing committee, basically knows most of the people behind it.

It was also because of this that Wei Yang came to attend the award ceremony when Liu Shishi might give birth at any time.

In fact, they had already reached a tacit understanding in advance. Now that people were giving out awards and preparing to praise Boss Wei, the stage was already set up, but Wei Yang didn't come. That would be really disrespectful.

He was chatting with the judges and even acquaintances and friends, but those who were familiar with Wei Yang knew that he was a little absent-minded.

There was no way, he was still thinking about Liu Shishi and the child.

Fortunately, childbirth is not something that can be done overnight. From labor to successful delivery, it normally takes at least ten hours, so Wei Yang has enough time to return to the hospital.

While waiting for the award ceremony to begin, Wei Yang would look down at his phone whenever he had free time, for fear of missing any information.

Even when he went on stage to receive the award, his speech was relatively brief, and he returned to his seat to check his phone for messages.

As for the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor in his hand, which was also his first authoritative film actor award, it became an unimportant piece of junk at this moment.

Just because Boss Wei doesn't have time to care doesn't mean others can ignore the trophy.

Although the Shanghai Film Festival is not as influential in China as the Golden Rooster, Golden Horse and Golden Image Awards, it is also a serious international A-class film festival.

Theoretically, it is on the same level as the three major European film festivals: Cannes, Venice and Berlin.

Of course, although the theories are at the same level, the value is far different.

But no matter what, International Class A is Class A, and it is definitely not some fake award that popped out from some corner.

In any case, Wei Yang's supporters highly recognize this award, and the fans' emotions are simple and direct.

The award that Wei Yang didn't win was just a useless rubbish award!
The award Wei Yang won is an unpopular treasure award that beats the three major gold awards, surpasses the three major European awards, and is comparable to the Oscars. You are ignorant because you didn't hear about it before.

So it’s unreasonable for Boss Wei to complain about other popular stars sometimes, as his own fans are not much better.

Weibo, Zhihu, Douban, and Bilibili are all filled with Boss Wei’s fans praising and admiring him. The news that Wei Yang was named Best Actor has become a hot topic on all major platforms.

He alone even raised the popularity of the Shanghai Film Festival and the Golden Goblet Award.

It also made an Iranian actress named Sari Bayat famous, who won the Best Actress award at this year's Shanghai Film Festival.

The fans are very rigorous. After praising the Best Actor, they will also praise the Best Actress. The better the actor is, the more it highlights Boss Wei who also won an award.

It is said that it also prompted a certain platform to plan to purchase and import the award-winning Iranian film.

The fans' excitement and the topic of winning the award that went viral on the entire Internet did not attract Boss Wei's attention. As soon as he returned to the hospital, before he could share the joy of winning the award, Liu Shishi took action.

Wei Yang no longer had time to care about this matter. He was either comforting and accompanying Liu Shishi, or anxiously waiting outside the delivery room for the baby to be born.

After more than ten hours of agony, on the morning of June 6, Young Master Wei, whose full name was Wei Yi and whose nickname was Shanshan, was finally born.

Looking at the small and ugly "red meat ball" on the bed, Boss Wei's heart melted.

He always thought that he liked his daughter more, but now looking at his eldest son, his face no longer had the strategic planning and calmness of the past. His mouth was grinning and he couldn't close it. He looked silly. If he changed his clothes, people would believe he was the village's idiot.

Liu Shishi, who was still a little weak, couldn't help but took out her cell phone to take a secret photo, and then made it into an emoticon to mock Boss Wei.

The child is born, mother and child are safe!
The excited Boss Wei gave out red envelopes everywhere. The doctors, nurses and accompanying staff each received a big red envelope. He even asked people who were unaware of the truth and congratulated him on winning the award via WeChat to send him a red envelope of 888. He joined any work group, friend group or chat group and gave out red envelopes to every person he met.

There were rumors outside that Boss Wei was almost going crazy with joy after winning the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor.

If he hadn't calmed down later, Boss Wei would have almost held a big lucky draw on Weibo, but even so, he still posted a Weibo to express his good mood.

Even the haters couldn't stand it anymore, and the famous Wei hater Pang Yidian posted a mocking post on Weibo.

[That's the way it is. Getting a second-rate actor award is like giving birth to a son.]
