CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

"Sister Gu Mei, why is it my turn to win the Best Actress award this time?"

As soon as he got in the car, Xie Zhuxin couldn't wait to ask Gu Mei.

She had a hunch that Gu Mei should know some of the ins and outs behind winning the award.

Not to mention that when the list of "Best Actress" was announced earlier, I noticed that Gu Mei didn't look very surprised.

Just now, when "Born in July" held a celebration party, the famous director Xu An also came and talked to Gu Mei privately for a long time.

Xu Anke is more than just Gu Mei’s good friend regardless of age difference.

As a famous director, she served as the chairperson of the jury for this year's Golden Bauhinia Awards.

No one knows the internal process of the entire award judging process better than her!

Even if it was for work reasons, Director Xu An would not tell Gu Mei the award results in advance.

But now that the awards have been handed out, it's only natural to share a few insider tips with good friends in private, right?

Seeing Xie Zhuxin's anxious look, Gu Mei smiled and blinked, keeping it in suspense.

"Why don't you ask me first why you lost the 'Best Newcomer' award?"

"that……"

Xie Zhuxin sighed slightly.

"Our team gave me a heads-up before the award ceremony."

She was actually mentally prepared for not being selected for the "Best Newcomer" award.

Because before the award ceremony, her own agent had quietly reminded her and informed her of some of the unspoken rules of the awards.

For example, the film industry’s awards are traditionally conservative and exclusive, and are particularly harsh on “newcomers” with high traffic.

Even if the media was excited before the prize was announced, in reality, whether it was Gu Mei's "Best New Director" or Xie Zhuxin's "Best New Actor", the chances of winning were not very high.

The huge traffic of them, while increasing their chances of winning the award, has also lowered their chances of winning to a certain extent.

After all, these two awards are to encourage and support newcomers in the industry.

Granting it to two popular female stars will certainly not be as encouraging as awarding it to two unknown people.

Therefore, it is actually more difficult than you think to stand out among a group of competitors who are not very famous but have very good works.

But "Best Actress" is another matter.

Xie Zhuxin knew the situation of the candidates for Best Actress this year. It was a big year.

All the big names gathered together, and each of them had a fighting chance, but none of them had an absolute guarantee of winning.

But there is no doubt that he is the youngest of the five candidates and has the least experience in the film industry, so his chances of winning are the smallest.

Especially since this was her first film, it was a surprise that she was even nominated, not to mention that she actually won the Best Actress award in the end.

She herself didn't expect that she would have the last laugh.

Gu Mei burst into laughter and finally stopped teasing Xie Zhuxin.

"For this award, you should first thank the other nominees, second thank Director Xu Hua, and finally don't forget to thank Director Chen Kexing."

"what?"

Xie Zhuxin's eyes widened.

The answer is a bit unexpected.

She can still understand director Xu Hua, the chairman of the Golden Bauhinia Jury.

Other candidates are at least relevant to the prize.

Why is there still this matter about director Chen Kexing?

The work related to him is "Wooden Guanyin", while the work he won the award for is "Born in July", which are totally unrelated.

Moreover, I have not heard of how close his relationship is with the Hong Kong circle. How could he have such a great influence on the Golden Bauhinia Awards, which has a Hong Kong background?

Gu Mei patiently explained from the beginning.

"It's a good year for the Best Actress award this year. But after careful analysis, those big names nominated for the award didn't do their best work, so you are not without a chance to compete.

"Everyone is evenly matched, and no one has the absolute strength to win the award. At this time, the award public relations strategy is particularly important."

Xie Zhuxin understood that perhaps her biggest advantage in winning the award this time was that the other candidates did not regard her as their number one rival, so she did have a certain advantage in the early stages of the judging.

The judging process for the Golden Bauhinia Award for Best Actress consists of three rounds.

In the first round, each judge has 3 votes (in order of ranking), and can vote for the performance of his or her favorite candidate.

The three tickets of different rankings represent different points.

After the voting, the candidate with the lowest score among the five candidates will be eliminated and enter the next round.

In the second round, the same process continues until the person with the lowest score is eliminated.

Only in the last round will everyone stop voting and choose their favorite candidate from the remaining candidates, discuss and persuade each other to reach a result that most people can accept.

These judges usually already have their favorite candidates.

Therefore, apart from the "first favorite" vote for one's favorite candidate, the other two votes are generally not cast for too strong opponents.

Xie Zhuxin's advantage lies here——

Those competitors didn't take her that seriously and wouldn't mind the judges who supported them bringing Xie Zhuxin to vote.

The six-month-long award public relations also made her a familiar face in the Hong Kong circle, and many judges had a basic good impression of her.

So she has a great chance of getting enough votes for "second favorite" and "third favorite".

Although these votes are not as valuable as the "first favorite" score, they add up to a lot and are likely to help her advance to the third round of final review and become one of the final three!

However, according to the team's analysis, my good luck probably ends here.

Because in this round, she no longer has a voting advantage.

When the judges began to discuss and recommend freely, no matter which two competitors Xie Zhuxin faced, she had little chance of winning.

In fact, this is also the case.

Xie Zhuxin faced two strong opponents in the third round.

One is the veteran actress Wang Meiling, who has a rich experience and won the Best Actress award when she was young and made a comeback after retiring from the screen for more than ten years.

There is another acting star who has been vying for the prize for many years and was very high-profile before the draw this time, determined to win.

No one thought that the fledgling Xie Zhuxin had a chance of winning against these two people.

Everyone automatically ignored Xie Zhuxin and started arguing with the other two candidates.

Both sides held their own opinions and were evenly matched. After arguing for a long time, no conclusion was reached.

Until Director Xu Hua, the chairman of the jury who had been silent, spoke up.

“Why not give it to two people at the same time?”

Best Actress for two people?

The best actress with double yolk?

Everyone at the judging panel fell silent.

This is a rare situation for the Golden Bauhinia Award.

Because of the style of this award, there is rarely any balancing act.

Especially in the early years, no matter how fierce the competition was among the big-name stars, no matter how unpopular the final result was, this award was very strong.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit.

Therefore, every year's award ceremony is full of highlights, attracting enough attention, and gradually building up the reputation of the Golden Bauhinia Award as one of the three major awards in the country.

In recent years, although the Golden Bauhinia Award has become less popular and has gradually become a game for a small circle, it is still extremely rare to win a double yolk of the award.

So Director Xu Hua created such a rare double Best Actress award with just one sentence?

But why was I the one being taken along?

"So I say, you should thank director Chen Kexing in the end. The film 'Wooden Guanyin' he shot was the last key point to secure your victory."

Gu Mei was full of emotion.

"Golden Bauhinia now has her own difficulties to overcome~"

In the era when Gu Mei just debuted, the Golden Bauhinia Award was naturally the final word and very powerful.

You can give out awards however you want.

No matter how big a star you are, if you don't catch the eyes of the judges, it will be all in vain even if you strive for awards your whole life.

However, with the rise of the Internet era, the appeal of the Golden Bauhinia Awards to ordinary audiences has been declining year by year, even to the point of being in jeopardy.

Without attention, advertisers will not buy in and the award will become less and less successful.

So in recent years, the organizers of each award have been trying their best to find topics.

Especially when the advantages are not much different, unexpected results are often announced to create highlights and attract the audience's attention.

"So Jin Zijing thinks that us, 'mother and daughter', receiving awards together on the same stage can attract more traffic and attention?"

Xie Zhuxin suddenly realized.

"The Wooden Goddess of Mercy", the box office champion of the just-concluded Spring Festival, has become the object of Golden Bauhinia Awards because of the topic of "mother and daughter both winning the award"?

No wonder Gu Mei said she wanted to thank director Chen Kexing herself!

If he had not chosen me and Wang Meiling to play the roles of mother and daughter, and made such a box office hit and touching movie, how could the organizers have considered this?

I'm afraid he would just let Wang Meiling and that acting giant fight it out, and would never think of bringing along a newcomer in the film industry like himself, right?

Xie Zhuxin leaned back in his chair with his head tilted back and let out a long breath.

Finally figured out all the confusion~

At this time, the car turned into an alley and stopped in front of a very low-key pub.

That was the celebration party held by the film company.

And this is a private party held to celebrate Xie Zhuxin's winning of the Golden Bauhinia Best Actress award.

As soon as the winning results came out in the evening, Uncle Lou, who was far away in Beijing, called and made arrangements for her, so she had to show up.

Xie Zhuxin hugged Gu Mei, thanked her sincerely, and prepared to say goodbye and get off the car.

When he turned around for the last time, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of an expression of wanting to say something but stopping himself from saying it on Gu Mei's face.

"Sister Gu Mei, do you want to say something?"

Gu Mei smiled and her complexion quickly returned to normal.

"Nothing, just enjoy your rare wonderful night~"

……

The next day, Xie Zhuxin slept until noon.

We partied almost the entire night before.

The "Chicken Blood" effect of the system card on her body has now expired. She just feels sore all over and doesn't want to get up at all.

Rubbing his sore temples and turning over in bed with difficulty, Xie Zhuxin simply opened the "Brilliant Clothing Life" system in his mind, ready to check the system's gains from last night.

As soon as the thought came to my mind, I couldn't help but exclaim "Huh".

The system...why has it changed so much?
