Fanning the flames? Go with the flow?

Taking advantage of the fire? Borrowing arrows from straw boats?

Maybe they are all, maybe they are not, but what is certain is that Blue Whale Pictures is not going to follow the rules step by step, they want the right to speak.

This is an ambition, but is it beyond the current capabilities of Blue Whale Films?

Ambition may achieve great things, but it may also devour the soul. The most important thing is the strength to match the ambition. So is Blue Whale Pictures "swallowing elephants"?

Russily, all eyes fell on Lu Qian.

Ji Xu spread his hands, showing a helpless expression, and looked at Lu Qian respectfully, "I tried my best, but everyone knows who the real devil is."

The corner of Lu Qian's mouth raised, and he gave a chuckle, and he was still in the mood to joke, "I'm not an alien, so there's no need to use such eyes to investigate."

"Hehe, it's not funny at all." Chen Mu mercilessly tore down the stage.

Lu Qian didn't mind either, and looked at Chen Mu, "Thank you, you are the only one who responded, and you didn't leave me alone."

Chen Mu: ...

Lu Qian continued unhurriedly, "Now everyone knows that the awards season has its own rules, and award ceremonies like the Golden Sparrow Awards have the right to speak, and the entire awards season has formed a routine. Then, Has anyone ever wondered how these rules came about?"

"...Isn't there from the very beginning..." Su Ziyi stopped at the beginning of the words, because he himself knew that it was impossible.

When the Golden Book Award was first established, it was an award for self-entertainment in the industry. The results of the first fifteen years of awards were not authoritative.

When the Golden Sparrow Award was first established, it was a song and dance party chanting "entertainment first", and its influence and awareness in the first thirty years were very limited.

As for the other awards of the Film Critics Association, they are basically the awards selected by the local film critics themselves. They have not formed a force in the world, and they are not directly related to the Golden Book Award, the Golden Sparrow Award, etc. Among them There is no shortage of young associations between ten and twenty years old.

In short, the concept of awards season was not formed from the beginning.

"To be precise, the awards season centered around the Golden Book Awards has gradually emerged more than 30 years ago, because the Golden Book Awards have become more and more influential around the world and have become a benchmark in the industry. There is no other awards show that can call on more than 6,000 people in the industry to select an award, which makes the Golden Book Awards stand out."

"So, everyone is eager to win the Golden Book Award, after all, this is the affirmation of colleagues in the industry."

"Naturally, the public relations and publicity around the Golden Book Awards will slowly rise. Even the smell of wine needs to be shouted, which is normal."

"However, someone saw the thread hidden under the surface: compared to the award itself, compared to the quality and talent itself, compared to the movie itself, this is actually a public relations game. As long as enough judges can be persuaded to win enough votes, the Being able to control the movement of awards.”

"An award selection by industry peers has become a public relations campaign."

When the words came to this point, everyone understood——

Exactly twenty years ago, two years after Ma Da and Zhang Benqing turned out to win the Golden Book Award for Best Screenplay, a producer, Wei Wei, seized the opportunity.

Relying on the running and appeal of the Longquan Gang, Ma Da and Zhang Benqing, two fledgling social freshmen, made it to the top of the Golden Book Awards unexpectedly, and broke the stereotyped concept of screenwriters in the entire industry. Also, the importance of PR and publicity.

Undoubtedly, this event inspired Vevey.

Then, Wei Wei formulated a public relations strategy systematically, starting with public opinion leaders, relying on the two-pronged approach of private parties and publicity to create momentum, and finally brewed the biggest upset in history at the Golden Book Awards ceremony—

From box office to word-of-mouth to artistic value, "Writing About My Love", which performed mediocrely, beat the box office and word-of-mouth, commercial and artistic both detonated the market "Thunder Rescue", not only won the Best Actress Award, but also reached the top Best Picture.

Twenty years have passed, and the upset of "Write My Love" is still considered a shameful stroke in the history of the Golden Book Awards.

Moreover, after the precipitation of time, "Rescue Soldiers" is considered to be one of the best war movies in the past two decades, but "Write My Love" has long been forgotten in the corner of history.

Great credit to Wei Wei.

However, people turn their anger into anger, and their anger into anger, but they have to admit that Wei Wei is indeed a master at manipulating people's hearts and making propaganda.

"The concept of awards season started with Wei Wei, and it has flourished in Wei Wei's hands."

"The awards season rules and public relations strategies we are familiar with all come from Wei Wei. This gentleman is still the most successful producer in the history of the Golden Book Awards."

It is no exaggeration to say that even if Wei Wei cannot cover the sky with one hand during the awards season, he can indeed call the wind and rain.

Over the past 20 years, Wei Wei's works as a producer have received more than 300 nominations at the Golden Book Awards Ceremony, and the number of final awards has easily exceeded 50 - the exact number cannot even be calculated, because it is true There are too many, and his figure can be seen in every corner.

"Now in Lanchuan, does everyone like Wei Wei?"

"No, of course not. In fact, among the seven major film companies and the five major brokerage companies, there are quite a few people who are gnashing their teeth at Wei Wei, but no one dares to challenge Wei Wei."

"Too big to fail~www.novelmt.com~Because Wei Wei maintains too many connections and too many interests, even if people want to eat his flesh and drink his blood, things are not that simple."

In the living room, there was silence. What Lu Qian said were facts, and they were no strangers to them, but they never connected things—

The "symbiotic relationship" between the awards season and Wei Wei, does this mean that Wei Wei has the right to speak in the awards season?

But is it possible?

A producer has the right to speak for the entire awards season? It sounds too ridiculous and exaggerated, after all, Wei Wei has not reached the level of covering the sky with one hand.

However, when I think about it carefully, when the awards season comes every year, it is not the seven major film companies that come to people’s minds, but Wei Wei. Unknowingly, Wei Wei has become the "signature" of the awards season, just like Same this year.

Works such as "The Price of Salt", "Decoding the Game", and "The Mop Queen" have been nominated for the Golden Sparrow Awards, from Best Film to Best Actor, to Best Actress Best Adapted Screenplay for Supporting Actors, they can be seen in all sub-categories.

And these works have one thing in common, all of them have Wei Wei's name in the list of producers.

Perhaps, Wei Wei did not have the right to speak in the awards season, but the reality is that the fate of Wei Wei and the awards season has been closely entangled.

Wei Wei, a man on top of the pyramid.

But more importantly, why did Lu Qian mention Wei Wei at this moment?

Things went around and around, but no one could keep up with Lu Qian's train of thought. Instead, there were more and more question marks. Could it be that...Previous chapter catalog bookmarkNext chapter
