I have to teach the world a lesson

Gao Yuan really doesn't want the movie "Thunder" to participate in any overseas [Southern California International Film Awards].

If possible, he would rather stay as far away from such seemingly bluffing awards as possible.

Isn't this a joke?

As long as someone with a little knowledge can find out through some simple traces that the [Southern California International Film Awards] is a pheasant award.

Even though winning the grand prize is not a big deal, it makes colleagues laugh at me, saying that I accept any award just to put money on my face and to worship foreigners.

This is not the case with gold on his face.

but……

this circle.

Talk about favors, talk about incense, and talk about nepotism.

Gao Hui's father, named Gao Jianliang, is a manager of the film department of [Shengshi Entertainment]. He is not a core member of [Shengshi Entertainment], but he also holds a small amount of power.

Both brothers' parents died when they were young, and Gao Jianliang supported the family alone. During the most difficult period, Gao Jianliang gave up the opportunity to go to college to Gao Yuan. After Gao Yuan Yanying graduated, Gao Jianliang Liang Geng tried all kinds of connections and even broke his leg before dragging him to the [Shengshi Entertainment] system and getting him investment in his first movie "Closed Gate".

"Closed Door" was not a hit, but it was not a loss either. With the experience of this film, he was able to take over the directing rights of other films and usher in the highest point of his career with "Thunder".

Some kindness...

Just like re-creating it, it will be difficult to pay it off in this lifetime.

therefore……

When Gao Hui found him and begged him to help "Paging 1988", he couldn't refuse.

Not only could I not refuse, but I also had to think of ways to get some of my fellow films to participate in this award.

Gao Hui wants to build momentum!

But obviously, "Paging 1988" is at most a finalist for official awards such as the Golden Horse Award, the Golden Image Award, and the Golden Rooster Award, and it cannot win the award.

The food looks so ugly that these official awards are impossible to ruin the brand.

But the Pheasant Award is different!

There is a high probability that you can buy a good prize by spending over 100,000 yuan.

Moreover, even though it is a Pheasant Award, there are so many movies on the platform that this award is full of gimmicks. As soon as the news media publicizes it, it gradually begins to become "authoritative".

To put it bluntly, Gao Hui hopes to use movies such as "Thunder", "Three Kingdoms", "Wind and Cloud" to help set off "Paging 1988".

These movies are all commercial movies.

If it enters the field of literary and artistic films, it can really bring out "Paging 1988".

To put it simply...

Gao Hui wants to climb up by stepping on these movies!

"If you really want to do this, we can actually make an overseas award by ourselves and give awards to ourselves. There is no need to spend all this money..."

"Uncle...what's the point of this? Uncle, although you think this is a pheasant award, the judges in this award are extremely serious about the re-editing of my film, including their opinions...They are seriously watching my film. , and, uncle, I’m making a movie, I’m not playing for tickets, I want to win the award upright!”

"..."

Gao Yuan once reminded his nephew and even gave him advice.

But it's of no use.

Gao Hui, the nephew, was stunned.

The [Southern California International Film Awards] touched a certain point in this nephew, making him feel that "a scholar will die for his confidant."

Even if he knew it was a scam, he was still willing to be defrauded by such a "serious" scammer.

The words have reached this point.

What else could he say?

November 14th.

Gao Yuan showed off his old face and helped Gao Hui make phone calls to some of his close colleagues.

Most of these directors are Golden Horse Award-winning directors.

On the phone, he didn't explain anything clearly, he just hinted at something...

"Thunder" became a big hit in China this year, and Gao Yuan's status in this circle has naturally increased. Although some people are jealous and some are secretly stumbling behind his back, when [Shengshi Entertainment] was at its strongest, many people understood that I'm still willing to sell it to save face.

This is the unspoken rule of this industry...

"Uncle, how are you?"

"Everyone attend the screening!"

"Wow, that's great...have you signed up?"

"Signed up."

"well!"

In the office.

A breeze blew by the window, and the wind chimes made a sweet sound.

Gao Hui's face turned red with excitement.

A newly minted director...

In addition to needing a veteran director to lead, what is even more needed is honor.

The more impressive these honors are, the better!

Do your colleagues think these things are fake? It doesn't matter, some capital doesn't understand this. They only think that a series of new directors with honors are awesome.

Just when Gao Hui felt that everything was going smoothly...

Gao Yuan's registration number suddenly rang.

Gao Yuan answered the phone.

On the other side of the phone, a series of fluent English words sounded.

Gao Yuan listened and nodded at first, but when he heard the end, his face became increasingly ugly.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at the phone in disbelief.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Gao Hui asked subconsciously after seeing something wrong with Gao Yuan's expression.

"..." Gao Yuan did not answer, but turned on the computer, connected to the external network, clicked on the so-called [Southern California International Film Awards], and stared at a series of English comments in disbelief.

His expression changed greatly.

He was relatively well-behaved, but his fingers trembled when he looked at it. After looking at it for a while, his face became more and more uncertain, and finally he took a deep breath.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Gao Hui was stunned when he saw this scene.

""Thunder" was not selected...I can't even go to the screening!"

"What!"

When Gao Hui heard the news, his eyes widened and he felt a buzzing in his head.

A feeling that was both speechless and absurd arose from deep inside my heart, as if I was having a ridiculous dream.

"Thunder", a movie that grossed 250 million at the box office within one month of its release in China and had excellent reputation and market, was actually rejected?

"..."

Gao Yuan remained silent.

He didn't turn off the computer, but stared at the computer screen.

He read the reasons for losing the election over and over again.

A feeling of anger arose in his heart, but this anger could not burst out for a long time.

If it's just some nonsense and unintelligible comments, that's it.

But unfortunately, the reasons for losing the Pheasant Award look very professional.

on the screen.

I wrote about a thousand words in pure English eloquently.

In these more than a thousand words, the film "Thunder" is analyzed in terms of film framework, structure, film characters, film plot loopholes, and the film's macro value.

Many film flaws that Gao Yuan himself could not see appear in these comments.

"Thunder" was directed by him and Lu Jiansheng together. One wrote the script and the other shot the plot. Although the division of labor was clear, the two had many artistic disputes during the filming of the film.

Some of the plots and some frame details are the product of compromises after disputes, and the emotional rendering does not really achieve the meaning. From a film art perspective, even he himself is not particularly satisfied with that part of the plot.

The content mentioned in this comment happened to be a sharp criticism surrounding that part of the plot.

After reading it, he was both angry and shocked!

From a professional perspective, this comment is very vicious!

Gao Yuan even has reason to guess that the person behind the screen who wrote this comment is most likely a high-level film critic, or even a director!

This is obviously not what a pheasant award should be!

but……

Although professional, if you lose the election just because of these reasons...

This is obviously nonsense!

I don't know how long it took before Gao Yuan withdrew his gaze and then stared at Gao Hui in front of him.

"Did they help edit your movie "Paging 1988"?"

"yes!"

"I'll ask again, isn't it?"

"Yes! Uncle, as I said before, they are a group of people who watch movies very seriously... They will watch every movie seriously. Even if it is the Pheasant Award, it is a serious and professional Pheasant Award!"

"Your film "Paging 1988" was shortlisted?"

"Shortlisted for screening."

"Oh, I understand. You go back first and I'll take a look."

"good."

After Gao Hui leaves.

Gao Yuan stared at the official website of the [Southern California International Film Awards].

He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Help me investigate this award!"

After he finished the phone call, he leaned back in his chair and kept thinking of this [Southern California International Film Awards] commentator in his mind.

He suddenly wanted to meet the commentator.

This is a talent!

Time passes little by little...

In the afternoon, Gao Yuan received a call.

The other party said that this film festival is a grass-roots organization, and the official website says it is fancy, but in fact it is Brazil, and the stage is now being set up.

The person who set up the stage is [Qi's Home Furnishing], well, the owner of a third-rate furniture company...

As for the rest...

He found out that it was related to Yan Shihua, the previous [School Beauty] event.

After following the clues again, they finally found [Starlight Future]!

Then, it seems that someone deliberately concealed some key things, and they could no longer find any other information.

His pupils shrank!

Especially don’t tell me that this award was created by [Starlight Future]!

No wonder this film critic is so professional!

If that's the case, then...

Just when Gao Yuan was thinking about it carefully, his phone rang again.

The call came from his assistant.

The assistant told him...

All the works of the directors he called to greet just now were returned by the [Southern California International Film Awards]!

Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment after receiving the call...

Have they all been withdrawn?

What's up with this pheasant movie award?

Then he frowned, then opened his mailbox and saw the message sent to him by his assistant.

He stared at the messages.

His expression became increasingly weird.

Finally, he stared and felt a buzzing in his head.

A few days ago…

Among the few excellent films that gained popularity at the Golden Horse Awards, none of them entered the preliminary review of the Southern California International Film Awards!

even……

Not even qualified for any kind of screening!

completely annihilated!

What about knitting?
