Chapter 321: A Detailed Discussion of the Golden Eagle
Xu Kun arrived in Beijing at around 30: . on the th.
He first slept on the plane, then in the car, and finally in bed. When he woke up in the morning, he was still a little dazed.
However, as one of the three major directors of Huayi, although he had nothing to do with "Night Banquet", he was still picked up to the premiere early in the morning.
Wang Zhongjun, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Guofu were all busy, so Wang Zhonglei brought Xu Kun to a table with several shareholders of Huayi, which was considered a high-end party within Huayi.
Now Xu Kun is Huayi's top star besides Feng Xiaogang. His nomination for the Golden Eagle Award is a big deal, and Huayi will naturally contribute to it.
Therefore, Xu Kun did not hide it from the board of directors and told them directly that he was planning to collude with Zhang Guoli to see if he could get his support so that he could compete with Li Youbin.
As a result, after Xu Kun finished speaking, a fat and big-eared shareholder shook his head repeatedly: "It's okay to find Zhang Guoli to make a deal, but it's a bit difficult to surpass "Drawing Sword" by relying on this alone. I think the best way is to mobilize the media to dig into the roots of "Drawing Sword".
Li Yunlong, a military commander with "bandit-style personal heroism", is promoting our army or smearing our party and army? How many times has the spirit of "bright sword" promoted in the film been disobeyed? He..."
"cough~"
Wang Zhonglei quickly interrupted the "conspirator's" long speech with a dry cough, and then changed the subject abruptly.
In fact, what this person said is nothing new. Ever since "Drawing Sword" became popular last year, there have been sporadic criticisms, and some people do have reservations about it.
But the problem is that in "Assembly", which Huayi is about to invest heavily in, the male protagonist Guzidi is of a similar type, and half of the content is about "petitioning" to seek fairness for his brothers.
If "Drawing Sword" is considered to be smearing our party and our army, then shouldn't "Assembly" be criticized even more harshly?
This is not about digging up the roots of "Drawing Sword", it is clearly about digging a hole for "Assembly"!
Xu Kun was also speechless. He thought that everyone at this table was of high status, and the person who spoke first must have something profound to say. Who knew...
However, even though he is so ignorant, he can still sit firmly on the throne. He must be a person with good background.
Wang Zhonglei changed the subject and chatted with a few shareholders for a while, then he found a reason to call Xu Kun out alone.
Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered, "What you just said was all bullshit. Listen to me. We are not going to dig up the roots of "Drawing Sword". If we are going to dig up the roots, let's dig up the roots of Li Youbin. Hehe, you don't know, Li Youbin started to divorce his wife after he became famous.
He has officially divorced recently. I heard that he would rather abandon his wife and children and leave the house to be with Shi Lan Ya - if we catch a little bit and pursue him relentlessly, we will definitely be able to ruin his reputation!"
It turns out that Li Youbin has this secret in private.
Not to mention, if this matter was exposed close to the award ceremony, he might really be brought down.
but……
There is no grudge between the two parties. Just to compete for the Best Actor Award, or the Golden Eagle Award, which has the lowest gold content, they are offending the other person to death. Is this appropriate?
"There's nothing inappropriate about this."
Wang Zhonglei disagreed: "I have rarely participated in TV festivals, but I have seen a lot of film festivals. The bullshit that actors do behind the scenes to compete for the best actor and actress is endless. Don't worry about it. I will find someone to do it secretly, and I guarantee that we will not be traced!"
"No, no, no!"
Xu Kun quickly stopped him: "Second brother, let me think about it again, think about it again."
"Oh, you are just being too soft-hearted. It's Li Youbin who has the dirt on his ass. It's not us who framed him!"
"Yes, yes, I'll think about it again."
Holding down Wang Zhonglei who was eager to try, Xu Kun thought about it for a long time but still couldn't make up his mind.
Finally, I decided to talk it over with Zhang Guoli first.
If Mr. Zhang was unwilling to compromise, even if he suppressed Li Youbin's popularity with public opinion, he might not be able to take the TV King award. Xu Kun was now quite familiar with Zhang Guoli. After he finished greeting the people from Huayi at the entrance of the red carpet, he called him "Uncle Zhang" and invited him to the reception room.
When Xu Kun told the story, Zhang Guoli laughed first: "Kun'er, if I were you, I would calm down. You will be the best actor anyway, so there is no need to compete with Li Youbin for this."
"Clam?"
Xu Kun was confused. How could he be guaranteed to win the Best Actor award?
Zhang Guoli smiled and explained, "This is your first time attending the Golden Eagle Awards, so you don't know much about it. Before 92, the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor referred to the 'Outstanding Actor Award', and from 93 to 99, it referred to the 'Best Actor Award'. There was no controversy during these two periods.
But since the show was handed over to Hunan Satellite TV in 2000, the 'Best Actor' award has been cancelled and replaced by the 'Audience Favorite Actor and Actress Award' and the 'Most Popular Actor and Actress Award'.
The former is actually the orthodox inheritance of the Best Actor title, with a trophy certificate issued by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Television Association. However, because there are too many people, five people win it at the same time each time, so the value is greatly reduced.
The 'Most Popular Actor Award' is an award given by Hunan Satellite TV. It does not comply with the official recognition process and is not endorsed by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles or the Television Association.
However, Hunan TV is smart in that they always choose one man and one woman from the former to present the 'Most Popular Actor and Actress Awards', and they present them at the very end.
The purpose is to make Hunan Satellite TV's award the only standard for the Golden Eagle Award.
However, the Golden Eagle Awards have been held 17 times before, and the authority of Hunan Satellite TV is obviously not as good as that of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Television Association, so this award has been controversial since its inception.
Many people even think that the five who have been certified by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the TV Association should be called the Golden Eagle Award winners. "
Isn't this too messy?!
Xu Kun was confused for a while, then he remembered the TV King award he was competing for, and asked hurriedly, "What about the 'Best Performing Arts Award'? The organizing committee clearly said that this is the TV King award!"
Zhang Guoli is indeed a big name in the television industry, and he can easily come up with allusions: "This award was launched by Hunan Satellite TV in 03, with the aim of solving the problem of insufficient recognition of the 'Most Popular Actor Award'.
After all, ordinary people's impression of the Best Actor and Best Actress is that they are actors with outstanding acting skills, and the title of "most popular" always makes people feel that it is not legitimate enough.
Therefore, Hunan Satellite TV and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Television Association discussed and came up with the "Best Performing Arts" award, which, like the "Most Popular" award, is also a unique award.
The idea is good, but the problem is that it keeps changing, making people confused.
After three years of holding the 'Most Popular Award', everyone had almost gotten used to it, but now they suddenly have to make major changes, and they are reluctant to get rid of the 'Most Popular Award'.
As a result, the two Hunan Satellite TV awards were competing with each other, leaving everyone at a loss as to what to do.
As a result, in the 03 and 04 Golden Eagle Awards, there were 6 double winners of Best Actor and Best Actress. It was really a mess, with everyone having their own reasons. "
"Shouldn't it be 8? Why 6 doubles?"
"Because in 03, Li Baotian won three awards at the same time, so he was the only one without any controversy."
"This is too... No wonder the Golden Eagle Awards ranked last among the three major TV festivals!" Xu Kun was completely speechless. According to this statement, didn't he get three nominations for 'Best Actor' at once? !
"That's not necessarily the case."
Zhang Guoli shook his head and said, "If we only talk about this year, the Magnolia Awards are at the bottom. Shanghai has gone too far in its pursuit of internationalization. This year's Magnolia Awards included a bunch of foreign TV series, but they didn't recognize their leadership, and neither did we. In the end, it was a mess."
Well, it turns out that there is always someone stronger than you.
But in this case, wouldn't it be very embarrassing for him to come to Zhang Guoli for negotiation and voluntarily give up the title of "the most popular male actor"?
