Chapter 750 Extra 7: Rubbing the Golden Horse, Subduing the Enemies, and the Entertainment Emperor (Update)
Of course I won’t reply to any of them!

Again, when you are faced with a multiple-choice question, either select all or leave it blank.

Although these two approaches may not necessarily be correct, they are definitely more correct and safer than selecting only one option.

What home to go back to!

The confrontation with the Golden Horse Awards has not yet ended. Chairman Wei is in charge here, reviewing the situation and observing the follow-up in order to respond accordingly.

But in fact, Boss Wei has given his all, and there is no suspense in the competition for popularity and attention in this year's Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Awards.

One is that it is a self-contained circle, and even many well-known Taiwanese stars dare not come to support it.

The other one can be said to have invited almost half of the Chinese entertainment industry. In terms of the brilliance of the stars, it was only comparable to the Olympic Games that year.

Even some Taiwanese media themselves admitted that the two sides were not on the same level at all, and some even said half-self-deprecatingly and half-sarcastically that Wei Yang was using a cannon to kill a mosquito.

Of course, as a film award, we cannot just compare popularity and attention. The winning works and fair selection are also important keys.

In this regard, the Golden Rooster Awards are also a sure win.

There was almost no suspense that Boss Wei won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor for his performance in "Dying to Survive".

Before the Golden Rooster Awards, speculation about the Best Actor award was not about whether Wei Yang would win the award, but whether he would avoid suspicion.

Putting aside Boss Wei's identity as the chairman of the Film Association, the support from the judges, the industry and the public is extremely high.

His performance in "Dying to Survive", as well as the film's influence and reputation, are all top-notch. His previous wins of the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor and other awards are the best proof of this.

Except for Wang Jingchun, who won the Berlin Film Festival Best Actor Award, the other nominees pose no threat at all.

In the end, Chairman Wei Yang was awarded the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor despite the pressure of the "shady dealings". Even the Taiwanese media who wanted to find fault did not say that it was unfair for Wei Yang to win the award.

After all, Wei Yang won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for this movie.

He is not worthy of the Golden Rooster Award, but he is worthy of the Golden Horse Award. Isn't this digging up his own roots? So in the end, he can only win the Golden Rooster Award and talk a few words about a movie that has been released for a long time.

But this was a drawback of the Golden Rooster Awards in the past. Now that it has been reformed, bringing up this topic again does not have enough destructive power.

There is nothing wrong with Boss Wei winning the Golden Rooster Best Actor award, and there is even less problem with the Golden Rooster Best Actress award, because the winner is Yongmei, the new Berlin Film Queen.

To be honest, whether it was Wang Jingchun + Yongmei who both won the Golden Rooster Awards in the previous life, or Wei Yang + Yongmei in this time and space, they all seemed to be playing it safe.

That is to say, the award is given to the person who is least likely to cause controversy, leaving you with no way to find fault.

After all, this year's awards ceremony actually carries a certain political color, which ensures that even if it is not outstanding, there must be no mistakes.

Boss Wei is the Golden Horse Award winner and has a natural ability to counterattack, while Yongmei is the Berlin Award winner with super thick armor. You say that the Golden Rooster Awards are shady, so is it possible that the Berlin Film Festival is also shady?
The status of the Big Three European companies in the film industry is self-evident, and they simply shut up those who want to cause trouble.

But then again, even if they intentionally played it safe, being able to avoid most controversies also shows that there was nothing wrong with the awarding of these two awards, and they can be considered fair and just.

In addition, [Best Film] "Dying to Survive", [Best Director] Guo Fan for "The Wandering Earth", [Best Screenwriter] the screenwriter team for "Forever Young", [Best Supporting Actor and Actress] Wang Zhifei for "Gutian Bugle"/Wu Yufang for "Send Me to the Clouds", etc.

I wouldn't say it's flawless, but I can't find any obvious flaws either.

In contrast, the Golden Horse Awards on the other side of the strait are extremely shabby because mainland films and filmmakers no longer participate.

The lack of sponsors and the poor presentation are secondary issues. The key issue is that there are few people and few movies.

As mentioned before, this year is a time of making an example of someone due to its special nature.

On the surface, the mainland has banned the Golden Horse Awards, but in fact, Hong Kong and some Taiwanese films and artists have chosen to give up the Golden Horse Awards and stay out of the spotlight for the time being.

The original chairman of the jury, Johnnie To, publicly resigned after the mainland officially announced that the mainland would not participate in the Golden Horse Awards.

Three Hong Kong-born Best Actor and Best Actress nominees, who were nominated because they were registered by the crew for their roles in Taiwanese films, simply refused to attend. Several other nominees from Taiwan also did not show up "for some reason".

So strictly speaking, this year's Golden Horse Awards cannot even be considered as a form of entertainment for the Taiwanese film industry; at best, it is a grand celebration of Taiwanese independent films.

If the Golden Rooster Awards are as dazzling as the stars, then the Golden Horse Awards are dim, no, it should be said that they are bleak.

At most, no more than two hands can be recognized by people in mainland China and Hong Kong, and most of them cannot be named, so they are just familiar to the eyes.

To put it bluntly, it's just a gathering of unknown celebrities. Not to mention the entire Chinese-speaking world, even in Taiwan, most of them are only at the third or fourth tier level.

Someone even dug up the fact that before the Golden Horse Awards, a "Best Actress" guessing contest was launched online, but only a few hundred people participated in the voting, which was quite bleak.

The Hong Kong media, which is always known for its sharp tongue, even said that if the Golden Rooster Awards and the Golden Horse Awards had not been compared on the same day, everyone would have almost forgotten the latter.

Some netizens complained that Wei Yang might as well not compete with the opponent, as this would have brought more attention to the Golden Horse Awards.

The little attention that the Golden Horse Awards receive is basically brought by the Golden Rooster Awards. Wouldn't it be better to ignore it?
Some people hold opposing views, believing that the stronger the contrast, the more one can feel the huge gap between the two sides, allowing everyone to see the misery and shabbyness of the Golden Horse Awards after their own failure.

If evil people don't suffer, doesn't that encourage them to do evil?

So how can we ignore it? We have to see it in such a horrible state that we will be happy and relieved, and when we are happy, we will even beat the dog that is down on it.

This is just a personal emotional consideration. From a broader perspective, it is also a deterrent and reminder to some people.

The huge gap between the Golden Rooster and the Golden Horse Awards, as well as the situations of both sides, can be reflected in a film award or in all aspects. Isn't this an alternative way of showing off muscles?

The great success of the Golden Rooster Awards also made Boss Wei leave a very good impression, and his influence and reputation among the public also increased rapidly.

There are also some people who are interested in busybodies who gave Boss Wei a title called "Wei Sheng".

However, Boss Wei strongly opposed this and arranged people to suppress the popularity and even report it for deletion. My goodness, this title is too big and too unlucky.

In the following years, people with this nickname were either ironic or had troubles, and he couldn’t afford to use it…

...

After the Golden Rooster Awards, Boss Wei has had some free time, and it is almost 2020.

This year we celebrate the Chinese New Year in late January, and after New Year’s Day there are only a few days left until the Spring Festival.

Since the Golden Rooster Awards, Boss Wei has rarely made any public appearances except for attending a few events such as the company's annual meeting and the Starry Night Ceremony.

In addition, Boss Wei also called Fan Xiaopang and his son, as well as Fan's father and mother, from Beijing to live in Shanghai temporarily.

After all, the mask era is approaching, and it is convenient for him to take care of her in Shanghai. Beijing is too far away, and the capital is sensitive. If something happens, he may not be able to reach her.

In fact, Wei Yang thought that since the mobility in Shanghai is high, he might as well go back to his hometown to take shelter, or send his parents back.

At this time in his previous life, he happened to go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, so he had a very deep impression that his hometown was very safe in the early days.

But later he felt that the conditions in his hometown were still a little worse. If there was anything missing in Shanghai, he could still find a way to get it, but he couldn't get it in his hometown even if he had the ability, because there was nothing at all. So, Boss Wei finally found a way to keep everyone in Shanghai and made sufficient preparations.

He was mainly worried about the early stages, as everyone was unprepared and had few response measures. There were a lot of elderly people and children at home, so he really couldn't afford to take the risk.

In the middle and late stages, as vaccines and related medical experience improve, safety will be greatly improved. Although we still need to be careful, we don't need to be so fearful.

During this period, Wei Yang would occasionally drive out to take a look around and experience the busy streets of Shanghai.

In the short term, this kind of scene will no longer be seen, and even for quite some time, everyone will be wearing masks.

While Boss Wei was enjoying the calm before the storm, there was quite a bit of excitement outside.

The Lunar New Year movie and small screen New Year seasons are in full swing, and Boss Wei didn't give any special instructions.

As for the movie industry, the situation is not too bad. This year's three big blockbuster periods, the Spring Festival, summer vacation and National Day, have already emptied the audience's wallets. Now that next year's Spring Festival is approaching, popular movies are all waiting to compete during the New Year holiday.

So even Blue Whale can only be said to be mediocre during this year's Lunar New Year holiday.

The best performing film is "The Accidental Murderer", which is expected to take in 12 to 15 billion yuan at the box office. It is co-directed by Chen Sicheng and Malaysian director Ke Wenli.

As the saying goes, gold shines wherever it is. You can say that Chen Sicheng is a scumbag, but you really can't say that he is bad.

After the "Detective Chinatown 3" film series that made him famous in his previous life was snatched away by Boss Wei, Chen Sicheng has not been idle. He has filmed two movies and a TV series in the past two years.

The TV series is "Great Expectations", which was ridiculed for being perfect without a male lead.

Although the male lead Chen Sicheng was heavily ridiculed, the TV series still performed well, and many subsequent plots and characters are still quite influential on the Internet.

Well, that’s the most difficult situation. The male and female protagonists are not popular, but a group of supporting roles are popular…

Perhaps having learned a lesson from this movie, Chen Sicheng did not act in either of the two films, but instead worked hard as a director.

Not to mention, as an actor he was criticized for being greasy and artificial, and his popularity with the audience was extremely poor, but as a director, his movies were still liked by many audiences.

A youth romance movie and a suspense movie.

Although the box office of both films are not as brilliant as the previous life's "Detective Chinatown 10", and both films have not even exceeded 6 billion, one is over 9 million and the other is over million.

But considering the cost, these two movies made money, and not a small amount.

Together with the movie version of Chen's previous film debut "Beijing Love Story", all three films are profitable, and each one has a higher box office than the previous one. Just this alone, I don't know how many directors are far ahead of him.

So even though Chen Sicheng hasn't had any hit films yet, he has always been considered by many in the industry as a rising star in commercial film directing.

Liu Haoran, who became famous in the "Detective Chinatown" series in the original time and space, was also made popular again by Chen Sicheng, but his fame and status were far inferior to those in his previous life.

The movie "The Accidental Murderer" was originally snatched by Blue Whale, but it has never been filmed.

Chen Sicheng also took a fancy to this project and tried his best to get it.

Although Boss Wei was unhappy with Chen Sicheng because he was a scumbag, it was just his personal opinion. The two sides did not have any grudges, so there was no deliberate targeting.

From a purely commercial perspective, the relevant person in charge of Blue Whale believed that Chen had good abilities, so he participated in the "The Accidental Detective" project in the form of copyright + investment.

Today, although "The Accidental Murderer" cannot be said to be a huge hit, it still performed well.

Chen Sicheng felt proud, and Boss Wei also made a lot of money, although he might not care about it.

As I said, as Boss Wei's status becomes higher and higher, he becomes more open-minded about many things.

There is no need to dwell on personal opinions and petty grudges. Even someone as petty as Boss Wei feels that it is meaningless to hold on to them.

The dead girl had been enemies with Boss Wei before, and Boss Wei didn't like Han Han either before, but now he is still being used as a money-making tool by Boss Wei.

There is also Zheng Kai. Not long ago, a PPTV variety show planned to cooperate with him. He was not sure what Boss Wei was thinking, so he asked through Zhao Liying.

When Zhao Liying asked about Wei Yang and Zheng Kai's past, Boss Wei was stunned for a long time before he remembered what was going on.

Boss Wei couldn't tell whether it was just a small conflict caused by youthful impatience or he simply didn't like the other person.

Later, he thought about it and decided to call the program and tell the director clearly.

Whether to use Zheng Kai depends on the program team’s own ideas and needs. There is no need to consider him. There is no subtext, just the obvious meaning.

This also means that the Blue Whale system and even the Shanghai circle’s soft ban on Zheng Kai for more than ten years has been loosened or abolished.

Li Jiahang said that it was rare for Boss Wei to be so generous, but Boss Wei felt that it was more like a kind of reconciliation with him.

Back then, Boss Wei worked hard and finally gained power in the entertainment industry. He was full of energy and anger. He believed that anyone who went against him would die. If I was unhappy with you, I would punish you. If I punished you once, it would not be enough. I would chase you and ban and exclude you.

But now that he has truly become the biggest overlord in the entertainment industry, his mentality has become much more tolerant and gentle.

Maybe if small conflicts can be resolved, then just resolve them, giving people a way to survive and a chance, and accumulating some good karma for yourself.

Of course, Boss Wei can’t understand everyone. Some things can be overcome, but some things cannot.

For example, regarding Lin Gengxin and Feng Kuzi, perhaps in a dozen years Boss Wei will be able to come to terms with it, but now he has no intention of reconciliation at all.

There are also people like Feng Shaofeng, Wu Qilong, Liu Kaiwei, Luo Jin, Da Hei Niu, Zhang Han and others.

For reasons that are well known to all, he may not target anyone, but he can forget about cooperation. It would be best if everyone never had anything to do with each other again.

During the Lunar New Year holiday, Chen Sicheng finally clung to Boss Wei's thigh, and during PPTV's New Year holiday, Huanrui also announced its surrender to Boss Wei.

Even though "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and "Zhu Xian" series are jointly produced by Huanrui and Boss Wei, these are collaborations that Huanrui was forced to launch.

Da Mimi was intercepted, copyright was forced to be shared, and many works were beaten by Blue Whale at the same time...

When it comes to Blue Whale, Huanrui is filled with grievances and tears.

When it comes to the enemies of Boss Wei and Blue Whale, Huanrui is definitely on the list, and ranks at the top.

But maybe he became numb from being beaten so many times and felt powerless to compete with the Blue Whale, so he simply surrendered.

Or maybe it's because the cooperation with other platforms was not going well, but they tasted enough sweetness from "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" and "Zhu Xian" due to the interests.

In short, at the beginning of this year, Huanrui's independently produced "Under the Power" officially landed on PPTV.

Boss Wei has one less enemy, and the so-called "Emperor of China's Entertainment Industry" by foreign media is still gaining more and more credibility.

Watching this scene, Boss Wei felt that he was getting closer and closer to the anti-monopoly talks. He would most likely bear the biggest blame for the "end of domestic entertainment" in the future...
