Chapter 1085 1185. Very successful
The Star Festival was very successful.
While everyone was still attending the celebration banquet, media reporters were already like worker ants, diligently transferring data one by one into their own articles, and then published them on the public platform for all netizens to see.
For example, more than 10 million people watched the online live broadcast of "Celebration of Stars".
For another example, the total number of interactive comments on "Star Festival" exceeded 5 million.
There are also data such as the number of clicks on related topics exceeding 50 million in three hours, the television live broadcast ratings setting a live broadcast record this year, etc. These data also prove the success of "Star Festival" from the side.
On the rating page opened by Doujiao.com, based on the statistics of 52,000 valid votes, the overall score of the first "Star Festival" was 8.5, and the four-star and five-star praise rates combined exceeded 90%.
The vast majority of netizens believe that the "Star Festival" was very successful, and some netizens even broke down several advantages and disadvantages.
First of all, the lineup of performers is very impressive. The first edition of "Star Ceremony" opened with "Starlight Shining" sung by the popular domestic female singer Jane Zhang. The theme song was also specially composed by Nie Wei for the award ceremony. The song has a majestic artistic conception. Jane Zhang The voice is also strong and powerful, and the vocals and songs are integrated into one, giving the audience an unparalleled audio-visual experience.
During the intermission, there was a one-man talk show by the host Teacher Wang, as well as song and dance performances by Huayi's groups WIN and RAINBOW. As the most popular idol groups in the country, their performances naturally attracted the support of most young people.
The most surprising thing was Alan's appearance at the end. No one expected that this little girl who held a concert for 50,000 people in Japan yesterday would come back to China this year and become the finale guest of the "Celebration of Stars" .
Alan's melodious voice, coupled with "Glory" specially composed by Nie Wei, as the closing song, moved countless people.
Although most of the performing guests are from Huayi, the lineup is indeed very sincere. Huayi has basically lined up all the leading singers. You can see Alan and Zhang Jingying on the same stage, as well as the male and female groups who debuted at the same time. , I’m afraid it’s only possible during the year-end Huayi celebration.
Therefore, many comments on the Internet said that the perfect score for this set of performers is too exaggerated, but 90% is completely worthy, especially for fans, it is really a win, both the guest lineup and the stage effect are definitely worthy. It deserves the word 'excellent'.
Next is the guest lineup.
When it comes to what to watch at award ceremonies, many people’s first answer is celebrities.
There is no doubt that everyone attends award ceremonies for celebrities, so naturally the celebrity guest lineup is very important. The reason why some domestic award ceremonies are not big is because the celebrity guest lineup is not strong enough, and a bunch of second-tier actors are hired to share the results. This Who would be willing to watch this kind of award ceremony except those celebrity fans?
But "Celebration of Stars" is different.
Almost all the top and first-tier artists in the country were gathered, as well as some of the popular new stars who are currently popular. Counting some second- and third-tier artists, there were nearly 300 celebrities present.
There were also countless great directors at the scene, such as Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Jizhong, Lu Chuan, Ning Hao, etc...
There are even many company bosses who are not well known to the public, but are absolute predators in the industry.
This is not only Huayi's "Celebrity Ceremony", it can also be said to be a big gathering of the Chinese entertainment industry.
In China, only Huayi has such appeal and can gather so many celebrity artists, directors, and bosses.
Of course, the most rare thing for the audience is that the list of winners of "Celebration of Stars" is very convincing.
Basically, few of the award-winning works or actors cause huge controversy, and there is no double-yolked egg or the intention of dividing the cake from beginning to end. Good works can win more awards, while those with insufficient quality can only win awards. Can run with you.
The seemingly ruthless selection mechanism actually endears it to the audience.
Maybe people in the industry like to share the cake. After all, everyone gets the prize together and everyone gets the glory, but as an audience, they hate sharing the cake the most.
Everyone has their favorite movies, and naturally they all hope that their favorite movies can win more awards, but if the movie they like misses out on a certain award because of dividing the cake, then even if the movie has already won many awards , and it will definitely make people feel slightly unhappy.
At this point, the first "Star Festival" satisfied the majority of netizens.
There were no disappointing results in the whole process. Every winner showed convincing performance, and the audience was naturally willing to accept this result.
This is also the key reason why the first edition of "Star Festival" was able to score 8.5 points on Doujiao.com.
Unlike a certain gold award, a popular actress whose strength is not worthy of the award was pushed to the position of queen for the sake of eyeballs. As a result, the actress lost her popularity with the public, and a certain gold award was also unfairly labeled. It has completely lost its credibility. It only has the name of a gold medal, but it is not even as good as the 18th-tier awards. When it comes to a certain gold medal, the first labels that come to mind among netizens are all hype and doubt.
On Doujiao.com, a certain gold medal achieved a record low score of 2.0. More than 30,000 people rated it, and one-star votes accounted for as much as 99%. I believe that if there were zero votes, these netizens would definitely I would give zero votes as an option without hesitation.
Of course, the Star Awards is not without flaws in the eyes of the public. For example, it is too fair, which leads to insufficient participation of Huayi. Many netizens have left messages hoping to see more participation of Huayi's works. They cannot avoid participation because of "avoiding suspicion". In the eyes of many netizens, if there are no Huayi works in the award ceremony, it always feels incomplete.
Just like the La Liga without Real Madrid and Barcelona, no matter whether they can win the award in the end, without their participation, it feels that the competitiveness of the league has plummeted.
There are also some suggestions from netizens, which are carefully collected by Huayi's network department. When the time comes, they will be given to the company's staff in charge of the ceremony for analysis, and suggestions that are beneficial to the Star Awards will be found, and then improved, so as to strive for a better next session.
In general, the first Star Awards was very successful. It not only established credibility in the hearts of the public, but also had a good influence. The response from the participants was so good, and the participation rate of the next session will be higher. At that time, Huayi will not need to sell face and favors, and they will take the initiative to sign up.
The next step is to follow a virtuous circle, deepen the credibility of the "Starry Ceremony", expand its influence, and step by step, achieve Asian and even world-class film awards.
Both Nie Wei and Wang Zhonglei are full of confidence in this.
The news that the influence of the "Starry Ceremony" has spread quickly reached the ears of the stars and directors in the venue, so the atmosphere of the celebration dinner has been further enhanced, and there are constant laughter and joy.
After hearing Luo Kai's report, Nie Wei smiled and shook his head.
"He is not a child. He doesn't need me to teach him how to choose. I am not his life mentor. It depends on his own decision on how to go."
Nie Wei paid attention to Wang Zimu because of the second election at that time.
Wang Zimu's documentary made him feel bright and made Nie Wei remember this name.
Wang Zimu has strength, but he is also lucky. If there were more or fewer tickets for his documentary at that time, it might not have left a deep impression on Nie Wei.
It just so happened that the award ceremony happened again today, so Nie Wei was inspired by his love for talent and sent out a recruitment.
Nie Wei had actually expected something like this to happen a long time ago. Those small bosses of entertainment companies who had to beg for favors to get into the celebration party were hoping that people would be able to pick up one or two dusty pearls in such a place where stars gather.
And Wang Zimu, who was praised and recruited by Nie Wei, was the most suitable one in any way.
With Nie Wei's affirmation, Nie Wei was not surprised that Wang Zimu became a hot commodity, and Nie Wei had no intention of using skills with those small companies. Those people were simply barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. They were not afraid of being despised, let alone being suppressed by big companies.
If Huayi really suppressed them because of a director who had no contract, it would simply give those small companies exposure, and it would also be a bad face for Huayi.
Besides, Nie Wei had already given Wang Zimu the opportunity, and it was his business how he chose.
Wang Zimu's talent is not enough to make Nie Wei visit him three times. When he arrived at Huayi, Nie Wei would not give him special treatment, a million-dollar signing fee, and even less would he be allowed to come to the company as a director and lead a crew.
If the other party really thinks it is better to go to another company, Nie Wei will accept it. As for the fact that he made the other party rise to prominence because of his words, Nie Wei does not think he suffered any loss. Anyone with a conscience will remember this kind of good fate, and may even remember it more deeply because of the choice.
So for Nie Wei, it is not a matter of a word, no matter what, he will not suffer any loss.
Nie Wei does not care about things, but Wang Zimu is extremely entangled. On the one hand, he is joining a super entertainment company like Huayi, and on the other hand, he is faced with a million-dollar signing fee and becoming a director with his own crew.
What shook him the most was the words said by the boss of a certain film company before leaving, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.
Wang Zimu, who has been on the edge of the entertainment industry for more than two years, also deeply understands that it is a rare opportunity to be the chief director of a drama group. If you miss this opportunity, you may never have it again.
Wang Zimu also knows that he will definitely not have such an opportunity and conditions when he arrives at Huayi.
But the environment, background and colleagues of Huayi are all top in the circle. Is it true that the tail of a phoenix is not as good as the head of a chicken?
Both sides make him excited. Wang Zimu is very entangled in his heart. It is difficult to make a decision for a while. In the end, he had to look to Liu Yi for help.
"Brother Liu, which one do you think I should choose?" Wang Zimu told his entanglement and then gave the right to choose to Liu Yi.
If he starts from his own interests, Liu Yi hopes that Wang Zimu will agree to those who poach him, because Wang Zimu can become a director as soon as possible, and he may join Wang Zimu's crew as soon as possible. With Wang Zimu's trust in him, as long as his acting skills are good and the role is suitable, he will not worry about the problem of the role.
But Liu Yi met Wang Zimu's eyes, and seeing the trust and expectation in his eyes, Liu Yi fell silent.
After a while, until Wang Zimu was anxious and urged again, Liu Yi slowly spoke.
"What is there to choose? Of course, I will choose Huayi." When Liu Yi said this, he felt bitter in his mouth, but felt relieved in his heart.
"But 'it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix', isn't it?" Thinking of the crew and the millions of signing fees, Wang Zimu raised his question in a low voice.
"Bullshit!" Liu Yi glared at Wang Zimu, worried about the IQ of his new stupid brother.
"That's all lies. Phoenix, no matter the head or the tail, how can it be compared with a chicken? You see those small companies offer good conditions, but what do you think they can offer?"
"They say you can shoot any type of commercial film and they will be responsible for investment, but don't you think that they are just drawing big cakes for you? They give you a lot of promises without even a script. Can this be reliable?"
"Okay, even if these small companies really give you millions in the end and let you tinker with the movie, but you are a rookie who has never been involved in commercial movies. Do you think that with the support of such a small company, the work you shoot can really become a hit?"
"I think the probability of failure is definitely greater than the probability of success. Don't show an unconvinced expression. Think about it carefully. Think about the consequences of your first commercial film failing. I think your senior Wang Mo is the best example." Liu Yi looked at Wang Zimu's unconvinced look and said directly.
Wang Mo, who had just approached and was about to listen to what Wang Zimu and Liu Yi were talking about, heard Liu Yi's last words and felt that a 40-meter-long knife had stabbed his heart, which hurt a lot.
Wang Mo, who left sadly, did not attract the attention of Liu Yi and Wang Zimu.
Liu Yi was very moved by his rare integrity, while Wang Zimu was lost in thought after being scolded by Liu Yi.
At the following celebration banquet, Wang Zimu was absent-minded, and Liu Yi seemed to have lost interest in socializing. He stayed by Wang Zimu's side. The two occasionally exchanged a few words, but spent more time in silence.
It was not until the end of the banquet that Liu Yi patted Wang Zimu on the shoulder.
"Brother, sometimes don't just look at the present, but look further ahead."
"Brother Liu, thank you." Wang Zimu thanked sincerely. He could feel that Liu Yi's words just now were completely from the heart, and the thinking during this period also made Wang Zimu gradually determine his choice in his heart.
The next morning before five o'clock, Wang Zimu's figure was welcomed at the gate of Huayi Company.
