Chapter 398 You do first grade, I do fifth grade

"For the Best Actor award, the nine judges conducted four rounds of voting. In the first round, Liu Teli received four votes, Chen Pinhe received four votes, and Yan He received one vote. This is the result of the first round of voting. He Daren and Shang Yongzhou did not receive a single vote."

"At this time, Xi Weian, as the chairman of this year's jury, began to lead all the judges in a new round of discussion, saying that in this situation, everyone needs to state their reasons again to see if they can convince each other. At this time, someone suddenly mentioned that He Daren also deserves this award. Then, the results of the second round of voting, Yan He, you have one more vote, He Daren has one vote, Liu Teli and Chen Pinhe each have three votes, but the winner is still undecided."

"Seeing this, Xi Weian proposed that the three judges who did not vote for Liu Teli or Chen Pinhe in the second round vote between Liu Teli and Chen Pinhe. He thought that in this way, the three of them would definitely be able to cast a vote for the one with more votes. As a result, the judge who had been voting for you chose to abstain from voting, and the other two voted for the party they had originally supported."

Chen Ziyan had an incredible expression.

"The judge who supports you said that she insists that you are the one who deserves the award this year, because in her opinion, although Chen Pinhe's performance this time is superb, he is not worthy of winning the Feihong Award for the third time. If he had never won the Feihong Award before, then of course he deserves it, but he is no longer. Liu Teli's performance is very impressive, but his role itself is not like your role in "Late Spring", which has rich and complex literary qualities. At the age of 20, you performed a depth and height that other 20-year-old actors could not perform. For the Feihong Award, there has never been a 20-year-old male role that won the Best Actor Award. This is of great significance."

"Because she firmly refused to support anyone except you, the third round of voting still had no result. At this time, Xi Weian and the other judges were very distressed. No one could convince anyone, but they had to decide an award. In the end, Xi Weian even proposed a double yolk egg proposal, allowing Liu Teli and Chen Pinhe to win the award at the same time, but was unanimously opposed by the other judges because they felt that doing so would belittle the participating actors."

"It was at this time that Xi Weian proposed that each judge put forward two candidates, and the two candidates must be different people. In this way, the final number of votes will be calculated. No matter who the final result is, the result of the vote will be respected. Although the judges had many objections, they had no better solution, so they agreed to this approach. Then, something no one expected happened. The judges who supported Chen Pinhe and Liu Teli, because they were worried that the person they supported would not get the award, both chose He Daren. A few others chose Shang Yongzhou, and the judge who supported you also believed that in addition to you, He Daren was the actor who should be most commended by the Feihong Award. This judge seemed to attach great importance to significance. She believed that awarding He Daren was of great significance, because He Daren was the least famous of the five nominees, and had never won any film performance awards before. So, in the end, He Daren won the award."

After listening to Chen Ziyan's review of the voting process for the Best Actor award based on online revelations, Lu Yanhe had only one feeling: it was too ridiculous.

It turned out that it wasn't because the judges had a unique vision and found a hidden gem in acting, but because there were equal numbers of judges supporting Liu Teli and Chen Pinhe, and they couldn't vote for him. As a result, they inexplicably used another voting formula and selected someone that none of them had expected.

Regarding the revelations about the award judging process, all the judges remained tight-lipped and refused to respond.

The Feihong Award also stated that the organizers did not know what the voting process was like, and they only received the final results of the discussion from the judges.

But judging from the information Chen Ziyan had obtained, this revelation was very likely to be true.

Lu Yanhe was still immersed in shock and disbelief.

"Competing for awards is really full of unexpected things that you dare not imagine." Chen Ziyan said, "Fortunately, your performance in "Late Spring" was not highly anticipated in the early stages, otherwise you would be the one who faced huge disappointment with great hope."

Chen Pinhe's fans became even more angry after this revelation came out.

If they were defeated by Liu Teli in the end, or if Lu Yanhe was an upset winner, there were indeed some judges who thought they should have won. Although they were not convinced, they were not so upset.

It was obvious that this was actually a competition between two extremely talented actors, but inexplicably, a person who was not originally favored by the judges took advantage of the situation.

After the news broke, He Daren's name was also on the hot search list and remained on the list for a long time.

"If the revelations are true, then He Daren can only say that he was lucky, but this kind of luck makes people feel helpless." Entertainment critic Guan Suchen must not be absent from these matters and immediately made his own comments, "The result of any award should not be that the fisherman benefits while the snipe and the clam fight. I think Mr. He Daren may feel more uncomfortable than anyone else in this matter - he probably doesn't want to win the award in this way."

When Lu Yanhe heard what Guan Suchen said, he agreed with it and felt emotional.

Now, whether it is Chen Pinhe or Liu Teli, in this turmoil, at least everyone is saying that both of them are worthy, no matter who it is given to, even if it ends up being a double yolk egg, it is better than missing out on both of them.

However, everyone's impression of He Daren is——

He just got lucky, he doesn't deserve this award.

Unless the jury stands up and says, no, He Daren is the best candidate after their serious discussion. Then at least the controversy will not be about "winning the award by chance", which is something that no actor wants to face.

At this time, Longyan Films suddenly announced that "Late Spring" would be re-screened. This news did not attract much attention. It was not until the next day that "White Pearl" and "Upstairs" were announced to be re-screened that everyone realized that these film companies might have agreed to re-screen them together.

"Nine Bends of the Galaxy" followed closely and announced its re-release.
-
"This re-screening was discussed long ago. The Feihong Awards organizing committee had discussed this matter with almost all the production companies nominated for Best Picture. They also coordinated with several major theater chains. No one expected to encounter such a thing at this year's awards ceremony. However, after discussing it, everyone decided not to change the original plan."

Liu Bige told Lu Yanhe on the phone, "Awards and box office are too separate. We also hope that domestic films can be stimulated by awards to boost box office and get more people to go to the cinema to watch movies."

The re-screening began on the third day after the awards ceremony. The nine Feihong Award-nominated films were collectively re-screened, accounting for nearly 25% of the market's screenings.

This number is very high. The Feihong Award Organizing Committee must have made great efforts to obtain such a screening rate from theaters.

Thanks to the popularity of this award, these nine films surprisingly earned a total of more than 40 million daily box office on the first day of re-screening, which is quite surprising.

Among them, the ones with the highest box office are "White Pearl" and "Upstairs", which benefited from the popularity of the two male protagonists in recent days and the discussion about their acting skills. In addition, the box office of "White Pearl" was indeed not high before. This time it suddenly triggered such a large-scale discussion. Many people also wanted to see how well Chen Pinhe performed in this movie.

In contrast, "Late Spring" ranked third. On the one hand, the previous wide-ranging publicity has allowed potential audiences who are interested in this film to watch it, and on the other hand, this film did not stir up the same level of discussion as the first two films at this awards ceremony.

On the contrary, "Nine Bends of the Galaxy", which had a box office of only 72, had a box office of 113 million on the first day after its re-release, directly breaking the previous total box office record.

A spokesperson for the Feihong Award said: "We have been striving to make our Feihong Award a more influential and representative award, which can actually bring more vitality to the film industry and help filmmakers and filmmakers. This time we are also trying something new. We communicated with the theaters to get scheduling for the re-screening of the Feihong Award-nominated films, and use the influence of the award to help the films get higher box office. Judging from the current results, our idea has been initially realized. The nine films nominated for the Feihong Award earned more than 40 million yuan at the box office on the first day of re-screening, which is a remarkable number. No one expected that this re-screening would be able to get such a high box office. After all, these are movies that have just been released, which far exceeded our expectations."

He did not accept any interviews during this speech and left the stage after saying this.

Obviously, he doesn't want to answer the controversy surrounding the Best Actor award.

In fact, leaving aside the issue of the Best Actor, it can be seen from many aspects that the Feihong Awards is striving for change and trying to do more.

From the red carpet segment that each media can broadcast live on its own, to adjustments to the award ceremony, to the collective re-screening of the shortlisted films.

The Feihong Award is not only committed to maintaining its own status, but also striving to innovate.

Lu Yanhe was very impressed by this.
-
However, there have been countless facts that have proven that no matter how high the heat is, it will slowly cool down over time.

Without exception.

The revelations were revelations, but after that, no one came out to respond to whether the revelations were true or not. No matter how much the Internet was buzzing, because there was no new information, it gradually lost its initial heat.

Lu Yanhe thought that the matter had come to an end.

At most, it will become material for every inventory in the future.

At this time, Yemai.com suddenly announced something.

——Yemai.com will launch a new e-magazine "Star!" and invite the famous writer/screenwriter Yu Jiang to be the editor-in-chief.

Then, Yu Jiang forwarded the message and said, "In the first issue, we invited Mr. Ho Daren, who has been embroiled in a lot of controversy recently, to be interviewed by us about the Feihong Award, acting, and the belief in being an actor. In this interview, we seriously talk about fame, fortune, and art."

The popularity that had finally disappeared has come back again.

What did David Ho respond?
What does he think about winning the award?

The newly-launched e-magazine "Star!" quickly became a hot topic thanks to the help of Yemai.com.

"Star!" also opened for pre-order immediately - just like "Jump Up" did at the beginning.
-
"Have you heard about the situation before?"

"No."

"Yemai.com has suddenly launched another magazine. It's really... forget it. We don't plan to continue publishing on Yemai.com anyway. They do their thing. We only have the last two issues." Chen Siqi said.

Lu Yanhe: "I asked Sister Zixing, and she didn't know about this matter. She was not aware of it at all, but I guess she was also very passive. After all, she was about to leave Yemai.com. Yemai.com must have known some news, so she kept it from us and published another magazine."

"The key is that they actually chose Yu Jiang to be the editor-in-chief!" Chen Siqi finally couldn't hold back her anger and complained.

What is more annoying than the fact that Yemai.com had launched a new magazine without telling them is that this matter is related to Yu Jiang.

I don’t know how many times Chen Siqi and Yu Jiang have had a fight over the past two years.

At present, "Jump Up" has not announced that it will end its cooperation with Yemai.com.

Chen Siqi said: "When will we announce to everyone that we have ended our cooperation with Yemai.com?"

Lu Yanhe thought about it and said, "This is fine, what do you think?"

"I wish I could announce it today, but if I do, it will be too smoky, so forget it," Chen Siqi said. "I don't want to put our "Jump Up" at the center of public opinion just for the sake of a momentary impulse. However, I am also thinking about one thing. Do you think we should continue to cooperate with other platforms for "Jump Up" or release it exclusively on our own media?"

Lu Yanhe said, "I think we should proceed step by step. You have always been under pressure from insufficient manpower. We put "Jump Up" on our own media for exclusive release. It is not just a matter of content transplantation. You must keep up with a lot of supporting things. Just the payment issue is very complicated. We used the Yemai.com system before, and we didn't need to worry about many things. Now we have to worry about it ourselves."

Chen Siqi said: "You are right, but when we make the Jumping APP in the future, the exclusive release must be put on the APP."

“You want your APP to be a comprehensive media, right?”

"Yes." Chen Siqi said, "At present, we are involved in many sections, including literary creation, character interviews, and film and television reviews. When our content sections increase and we have enough basic accumulation, I will start to do this. Of course, the most important thing for me at present is to compile "Jump Up" into different collections and publish them overseas."

Lu Yanhe asked: "This is not easy, it takes a lot of effort just to translate it."

"Yes, but we have to do it even if it's difficult." Chen Siqi said, "Since we are already the best-selling literary magazine in China, the next step is of course to go overseas. There is another important reason. I don't just want to be a media that is influential only in China."

If a junior student said something like this, others would probably think she was talking nonsense.

But Lu Yanhe understood Chen Siqi's thoughts, knew what she meant, and understood her ambitions - and Lu Yanhe also had such ambitions.
-
Xin Zixing's resignation report was placed on Liu Qiao's desk in advance.

She wrote in her resignation letter: "Over the past year, I have gradually discovered that the direction of my efforts is inconsistent with the company's key strategic direction, and that they are drifting further and further apart. After the company openly hyped up my private affairs with Huang Kairen, I clearly expressed my hope that the company would make an official response to the matter, but I have not received this response so far. When I tried my best to keep the electronic version of "Jump Up" on Yemai.com and brought a large and stable number of users to Yemai.com through it, the company also set up a competing magazine without telling me, and invited Yu Jiang as the editor-in-chief - as we all know, she had an extremely unpleasant past with Lu Yanhe, an artist who has worked closely with our Yemai.com. All the things I have experienced this year have made it impossible for me to continue working in the company with trust and a happy mood."

After the meeting, Liu Qiao returned to the office and saw a resignation letter on the table. Especially after reading this paragraph, he felt as if he had fallen into a deep well.

Liu Qiao had already prepared for Xin Zixing's departure. But he didn't expect that Xin Zixing would directly put a letter of resignation on his desk and refused to talk to him face to face.

In Xin Zixing's resignation letter, all she wrote about was the drifting apart between her and the company, but in Liu Qiao's eyes, it was about the drifting apart between him and her.

When did it start?
Why did it become like this?
Liu Qiao picked up the phone, paused for half a second, and put it back.

The call was never made.
-
The magazine "Star!" was to be established, and the first issue interviewed a popular figure like David Ho, which could be said to be a strong momentum.

However, at this time no one thought that "Jump Up" would leave Yemai.com.

On the contrary, many people think that Yemai.com has tasted the sweetness of "Jump Up" and wants to launch another e-magazine.

This news even made many portal websites wonder whether they should also develop an e-magazine?
Anyway, this thing has low cost, but once it is done, it can be completely self-sustaining or even make a small profit. The most important thing is that having such a stable magazine means being able to bring in stable readers.

In fact, many of today's self-media are the evolution of magazines.

Whether it is a public account or other text-based media, the essence is to continuously and steadily launch text content of a certain style. However, many portal websites have calculated that the return rate of e-magazines is too low, and it is better to use such energy to develop other products.

Forget it.
-
After Xin Zixing submitted her resignation letter, she immediately told Lu Yanhe and Chen Siqi about the matter.

Chen Siqi didn't expect Xin Zixing to leave early.

Originally, Xin Zixiong had agreed to stay with "Jump Up" until the December issue was published before leaving.

It can be said that it has a beginning and an end - if it weren't for Xin Zixiong, "Jump Up" would not have been released in electronic version on Yemai.com.

Chen Siqi said, "Sister Zixing, didn't they tell you anything when you resigned?"

"I don't think they will say anything to me. They probably already know that I'm leaving. If they really want to do something, they would have come to me a long time ago." Xin Zixing said, "Besides, I think there should be a lot of people in the company who want me to leave. After all, if I leave, I won't be a threat to them."

When Xin Zixing said this, she felt a little disappointed.

Maybe she still hoped that someone from Yemai.com would try to keep her there. Even if she had made up her mind to leave, it would be useless no matter who tried to keep her there. Well, she had been at Yemai.com for a long time and had made so many contributions, so she couldn't help but feel a little sad. She wanted to leave, but she left because she couldn't stay at Yemai.com any longer. She didn't want to leave on her own initiative.

And in this situation, no one came to keep her.

It seems that it was really an illusion in the past - she held "City Travels" and "Jump Up" in her hands, and was the most crucial person in these two jobs. After working for a long time, she couldn't help but have an idea that if it weren't for her, these two jobs might not be taken over by anyone for a while. Facts have proved that, at least in the leaf vein network, this is not the case.

She took a deep breath, opened the car door, got out and walked towards the restaurant.

Tonight she made an appointment with several core members of the "City Travel" team to have dinner together.

Photographers: Chen Liang, Tian Baihe, photography assistant: Xu Chao, artist: Zhou Fang, assistant: Xiao Mei.

These were the people who had been with her from the very beginning when she was making City Travel Notes. When she had the idea of ​​leaving, she had already discussed it with them, and they all expressed their willingness to go with her, which was what comforted her the most.

No matter what, the team she built up is still willing to follow her. Being willing to follow her at this time is the greatest trust and support for her.

Before going in, Xin Zixiong took a deep breath and adjusted herself. She didn't want to let her affected emotions show. At this time, she couldn't let everyone see her depressed side, as it would be a big blow to morale.

Just as she was about to go in, Xin Zixiong's cell phone suddenly vibrated.

She picked it up and took a look with some surprise, and it turned out to be a message from Tian Baihe: Zixing, I'm sorry, I can't go tonight.

Xin Zixing was stunned. When she was about to reply to the message to ask what was going on, Tian Baihe sent a second message: Mr. Liu came to me. He promised to let me be the director of "City Travel Notes" as long as I stay.

Xin Zixing stood in the dusk as the sun was setting, and was dazed for a moment.

The door was suddenly opened from the inside. "Ah, Sister Zixing?! Why are you standing at the door and not going in?"

The person who opened the door was Xiao Mei.

This assistant, who usually acts delicately and looks like a vase but is actually very trustworthy, looked at Xin Zixing in surprise.

Xin Zixing came back to her senses and said with a smile: "I was just checking the messages. Tian Baihe just sent me a message saying that he couldn't come."

Xiao Mei frowned immediately, "What's wrong with him? He said it was fine two hours ago. No, I'll give him a call. How could this guy stand us up? I want to see which little girl has seduced him again."

"Xiao Mei." Xin Zixing held Xiao Mei, "No need."

Xiao Mei was stunned, "Ah?"

Xin Zixing said: "He won't go with us."

Xiao Mei was confused for two seconds, then came to her senses.

"What?!" Her face immediately turned angry, "This traitor!"

"It's okay. Everyone has their own choice." Xin Zixing patted Xiao Mei's shoulder and asked, "Are all the others here? Let's go in first."

"Ah, Zhou Fang hasn't come yet." Xiao Mei said, "He just told me that he's on his way."

Xin Zixiong agreed.

She also reminded: "Don't talk about Tian Baihe's matter when we have dinner tonight. Just say that he suddenly has something and can't come. Don't let him spoil everyone's fun."

Xiao Mei nodded and hummed.

Suddenly, at this moment, Xiao Mei's cell phone rang.

"Zhou Fang called me." Xiao Mei said, "I'll answer it first, Sister Zixing."

"it is good."

Xiao Mei answered the phone, and after two seconds, her face suddenly turned ugly.

"Just go if he wants you to go. Who did you make the appointment with first?" Xiao Mei questioned dissatisfiedly, "I'm telling you, Zhou Fang, you can't let Tian Baihe lead you by the nose. He usually likes to order you around and treats you like a follower. Can you please pay less attention to him?"

When Xin Zixing heard what Xiao Mei said, her heart skipped a beat.

It turned out that Liu Qiao did not fail to take action, but his actions were not used on her.

Xin Zixing couldn't help laughing.

I laughed out of relief.

Why bother to care about the retention of someone who is not worth caring about?
Since you have decided to leave, don't linger, don't look back, just move forward.

At this moment, Xin Zixing felt a sense of determination in her heart.

Let's wait and see whether it's because she can't do well without Yemai.com, or whether "City Travel Notes" starts to go downhill without her.

Xin Zixiong has never wanted to achieve something more than now.

Xiao Mei hung up the phone. "Zhou Fang, this idiot. Tian Baihe asked him to come back to the company and said he had something to tell him. He didn't dare to refuse Tian Baihe. Usually, Tian Baihe treated Zhou Fang as his follower. I taught Zhou Fang a lesson and told him that Tian Baihe was no longer our kind of person. Only then did he dare to say that he would ignore Tian Baihe. He came here immediately and confirmed with me, asking Tian Baihe if he really didn't want to leave with us in the future. What a coward."

Xin Zixing didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard Xiao Mei's complaints.

"Is Zhou Fang usually bullied by Tian Baihe?"

"It's not really bullying. It's just that Tian Baihe knows that Zhou Fang is a soft-hearted person who is easy to talk to and won't refuse anyone, so he always throws the dirty work to him."

Xin Zixing couldn't help but frown, "Is this phenomenon serious? How come I have never had any impression of it?"

Xiao Mei said: "Tian Baihe is always very servile in front of you, so he won't let you know. The main thing is that he didn't do anything beyond the principle, so it's not easy for us to complain."

Xin Zixing nodded and understood.

The phone rang again at this time.

Xin Zixing took a look and saw an unexpected name.

Liu Yaliang.

Strictly speaking, the original trio of "City Travels" was her, Chen Liang and Liu Yaliang.

But later, because Xin Zixiong focused on this area, there was no one in the fashion section that she was originally responsible for, so Xin Zixiong recommended Liu Yajing over there, and Liu Yajing took over her original job and thus withdrew from "City Travel Notes".

Liu Yaliang is a second-generation rich person with plenty of money. She is usually very interested in these things. After taking this job, she has been very successful. In May this year, she even became the editor-in-chief of the fashion section.

Xin Zixing and Liu Yaliang usually make appointments quite frequently, and the little girl likes to have dinner with her very much.

This time she was leaving, and to keep it secret, she didn't tell anyone except the "City Travel" team who wanted to take her away.

She answered the phone suspiciously and asked, "Yaliang?"

Liu Yaliang said angrily: "Sister Zixing, you don't consider me a friend at all, do you? You are taking people away from Yemai.com, but you didn't even tell me? Do you still consider me as your own? Why did you take others away without even thinking of taking me with you?"

Liu Yaliang's questioning made Xin Zixing stand there in a daze, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

After a long while, she finally laughed and said, "I'm sorry, Yaliang, I was wrong."

"Are you free now? I'll send you an address. Can you come and have dinner with us?"

"That's better." Liu Yaliang said, then hung up the phone with a snort.

That night, Xin Zixing updated a status on her social media platform, saying: I submitted my resignation letter today and left Yemai.com. From today on, I will no longer be responsible for the documentary "City Travel Notes" and the electronic version of "Jump Up" magazine on Yemai.com. I have worked here for many years and was fortunate to have produced two projects that everyone likes. I have been working hard in the past few years and want to achieve good results. Now I have the opportunity to take a break. I want to give myself a vacation and leave for a trip tomorrow. When I come back, we will continue.

Xin Zixiong's update was like a bolt from the blue, leaving her fans stunned, shocked and unexpected.

Before this, Xin Zixing showed no sign of leaving the leaf vein network.

Why did you leave suddenly?
No one expected that an hour later, the official Weibo account of "Jump Up" posted: Thanks to the matchmaking of Ms. Xin Zixing, we "Jump Up" began to publish the electronic version on Yemai.com. In nearly two and a half years, nearly thirty issues of magazines, we have met many readers. Now I must apologize to everyone and say that the December issue of "Jump Up" this year is the last issue published on Yemai.com. Starting next year, "Jump Up" will no longer cooperate with Yemai.com for electronic reading. Thank you all for your attention and love.

If Xin Zixiong's update only attracted the attention of a small number of people, then the statement from the official Weibo of "Jump Up" directly shocked many people who were still awake.

As a magazine with a stable monthly sales volume of over 300,000 and an estimated readership of one million, its influence cannot be underestimated.

Many people’s first reaction is, where can they watch “Jump Up” in the future?
Many readers do not buy physical books, they only read electronic versions. (End of this chapter)
