Chapter 360 Calculation

Zhang Guoli's unique proposal immediately aroused warm applause from the audience.

If you can go on stage to receive the awards at the Feitian Awards ceremony, regardless of whether you are invited by the organizing committee or not, it is a rare opportunity for exposure, and you may be noticed by a director or producer in the audience.

"I originally planned to choose one of the six nominees to come on stage and announce the prize with me. But then I thought, if she is not the winner in the end, that scene would be a bit cruel."

The director appropriately swept the camera over the six nominees for the Outstanding Actress Award: Hai Qing, Jiang Wenli, Chi Peng, Yan Bingyan, Cao Xiwen, and Chen Jin.

Zhang Guoli spoke eloquently: "According to convention, I should invite a respected senior to the stage because they represent professionalism and authority.

But today, I want to invite a young actor because they symbolize the future and hope of the industry."

These words aroused the curiosity of the audience, but there were also smart people who, after hearing some rumors in the circle, already had the answer in their minds.

"Speaking of young actors, we have to mention a group full of youthful vitality in the film and television industry recently, the 85 Flowers!"

Zhang Guoli cleverly introduced the topic, "They are all outstanding actresses of the new generation and have a bright future.

Judging from their ages, the 85 flowers are the successors of several nominees. Perhaps in a few years, they will take over the baton and stand on the podium of the Feitian Awards. "

As soon as the 85 flowers came out, everyone at the scene understood what Zhang Guoli meant. They knew who Zhang Guoli wanted to invite to draw the prize.

There are currently five people recognized as being among the top 85 in the entertainment industry, namely Liu Yifei, Liu Shishi, Yang Mi, Wang Luodan, and Lv Yi, who became very popular in the first half of the year for starring in "The Temptation to Go Home".

At the Feitian Awards ceremony tonight, only two 85 flowers, Liu Shishi and Wang Luodan, were present. The audience could guess with their imagination that Zhang Guoli would definitely invite Liu Shishi to the stage.

As expected, Zhang Guoli smiled and called out to her affectionately, "Shishi, my wife Deng Jie loves to watch "Startling by Each Step" and is a loyal fan of yours. You have to give me some face today and come on stage to open the prize with me."

Facing the camera, Liu Shishi smiled shyly and waved her hand gently, politely declining Zhang Guoli's kindness.

Zhang Guoli was enthusiastic and invited sincerely: "Shishi is a little shy, let's applaud and cheer for the young people. As the traffic queen with 30 million fans on Weibo, you can't be stage-frightened."

There was thunderous applause at the scene!

At this time, the two Outstanding Director Award winners sitting in the first row, Liu Jiang, the director of "The Good Times of Daughter-in-law", leaned slightly and talked in a low voice with Guan Hu, the director of "Yimeng".

Since both of them graduated from the Beijing Film Academy and are directors, they have a good relationship.

"Zhang Guoli is too attentive to Liu Shishi." General Liu was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Guoli's behavior. Even if Tengda was rich, he should be careful in such occasions.

Guan Hu curled his lips and snorted: "The entertainment industry is booming now. Zhang Guoli wants to be the capital but doesn't want to take risks. He is fickle-minded. How can such a good thing happen!"

"There are rumors in the industry that Huayi is going to invest in his Changsheng Films. Is this true?"

Guan Hu nodded slightly, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes, and introduced to Liu Jiang: "Huayi is ready to invest in Changsheng Film and Television at a valuation of 360 million yuan, a premium of 35 times!"

General Liu took a deep breath, his face full of disbelief: "360 million, this is the price! There is no such thing as a free lunch. Zhang Guoli will definitely pay a huge price!"

"That's right!" Guan Hu explained, "Changsheng Film and Television needs to achieve a net profit after tax of no less than 30 million for five consecutive years starting from 2013, and the profit must increase by 10% every year.

If the target is not met, Zhang Guoli will have to pay the difference in cash out of his own pocket. But if the target is met, Changsheng Films will be ready to go public by then!"

"It's not so easy to meet the target under this bet." After some calculations, General Liu understood the huge performance pressure that Zhang Guoli would face after Huayi's investment.

"Yes!" Guan Hu looked at the stage meaningfully, "Zhang Guoli also knows that the pressure is great, but he doesn't want to give up the opportunity to become a capital. So he thought about shopping around and maybe he could find an investor with more favorable conditions than Huayi."

"Tengda! So this is what he was planning." General Liu suddenly realized that the only one who could be more powerful than Huayi, the first private film and television company, was Tenda Culture!

Compared with turning one's life around and becoming capital, saying a few flattering words and trying to please the wife of the richest man is nothing.

Guan Hu shook his head: "Tengda's money is not that easy to get! Last month, Jiang Wenli's group in the Northwest Circle planned to set up a company and also wanted to ask Tengda Culture for strategic investment.

As a result, Liu Rong, who was newly transferred from the Southern Cinema Line, flatly refused. With the previous experience as a lesson, Zhang Guoli wanted to find an introducer, probably hoping to get in touch with Liu Shishi. "

"But as far as I know, Master Liu never interferes in Tengda's affairs. I'm afraid Zhang Guoli's efforts this time will be in vain."

Guan Hu disagreed: "It would be best if it can be accomplished, but if it can't be accomplished, there is no loss. If I can establish a relationship with the wife of the richest man, why not do it?"

Over there, Liu Shishi couldn't refuse the hospitality and walked onto the stage amid the applause of Zhang Guoli and the audience.

The first sister was wearing an elegant cheongsam, graceful and smiling: "Good evening, everyone. I am Liu Shishi. I am honored to be invited by Teacher Zhang Guoli to participate in the award ceremony of the Outstanding Actress Award!"

Zhang Guoli smiled brightly: "Shishi, I wonder if you have seen the works of these six nominees?"

"I have watched the Golden Wedding starring you and Teacher Wen Li. Teacher Wen Li's performance was exceptional and she is my role model."

Zhang Guoli laughed and said jokingly, "Then I have to thank you on behalf of my wife! Wenli, you see, the representatives of young actors like your performance so much.

We must continue to work hard and strive to produce more excellent works in the future. Wenli, my wife, where are you sitting? Stand up and let me see you?"

In the first row of the audience, Jiang Wenli slowly stood up, clasped her hands together, and looked like she was begging for mercy, which made the whole audience laugh.

The host Dong Qing cleverly interrupted to liven up the atmosphere: "Teacher Guo Li, you still think that you and Teacher Wen Li are in a 50-year golden wedding relationship.

The person I love in the nominated work "Happiness Knocks on the Door" is Sun Chun, and Teacher Sun Chun is also here tonight."

Zhang Guoli gestured exaggeratedly and joked, "Sun Chun is the third party."

The party scene suddenly became a sea of ​​joy. When the laughter and applause gradually died down, Zhang Guoli continued to ask: "Shishi, besides Wenli's play, have you seen the works of other people?"

The first sister shook her head slightly, her frankness was surprising.

Zhang Guoli was slightly surprised: "You've only watched the TV series starring Wen Li?"

The eldest sister nodded slightly, her straightforwardness was admirable.

"It seems that Shishi is a loyal fan of Wenli." Zhang Guoli hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "The acting industry is very busy. Sometimes we have to get up early and work late to shoot a movie, so it's really hard to have time to sit in front of the TV and watch TV dramas."

Then she changed the subject, "Everyone knows that Shishi's husband, Mr. Song, is a famous writer and screenwriter. I'm just curious and ask one more question.

I wonder if someone with such high artistic attainments as Mr. Song would look at the works of several nominees?"

Liu Shishi smiled and said, "To be honest, my husband has never liked watching TV dramas since he was a child."

Zhang Guoli was stunned for a moment, then he took a breath and asked, "Then Mr. Song doesn't watch TV dramas on weekdays? Doesn't he watch his own scripts?"

Sister Yi explained with a smile: "It's not that he didn't watch any of them, but he has watched only a few. As far as I remember, he has only watched "Old Three Kingdoms".

Another one is "The Ming Dynasty 1566" starring Chen Baoguo and Huang Zhizhong. My husband likes this drama very much."

Coincidentally, the winners of this year's Feitian Awards for Outstanding Actor are Chen Baoguo and Huang Zhizhong.

Zhang Guoli was skeptical because the drama "The Ming Dynasty 1566" was not very well-known and had very low ratings when it was broadcast that year.

"Shishi, you didn't say that on purpose just to please the two TV Kings, did you? That's not acceptable."

Speaking of her beloved husband, Liu Shishi's pretty face was filled with happiness as she said: "My husband really likes this drama, praising it as the pinnacle of political and historical dramas, and he has watched the entire drama at least five times.

I especially watched the three dragons judging Hai Rui and the scene where Emperor Jiajing discussed the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers dozens of times. I also watched it many times as well.”

The richest man liked "The Ming Dynasty 1566" so much that everyone on the scene was eager to see what was so wonderful about this TV series that made the richest man so obsessed.

Even Chen Baoguo and Huang Zhizhong were surprised. They didn't expect Song Ci to praise their work, which had long since failed, so highly.

Seeing that Liu Shishi's expression did not seem to be false, Zhang Guoli had no choice but to follow her words and say, "I can't help but go back to take a look at this work that Mr. Song is obsessed with.

Now let’s get back to the topic. The Outstanding Actress Award will be announced soon.”

The two turned around and their eyes fell on the electronic screen.

"Teacher Guo Li, I'll take care of the first part, and you can take care of the prize-giving part later."

As Liu Shishi spoke, she reached out and tapped the screen. The picture changed, and two golden envelopes appeared in front of everyone, shining brightly.

"Okay! It's a double yolk egg for sure. Shishi, you can open the prize. It's better not to bother two people with one thing." Zhang Guoli stretched out his hand, motioning Liu Shishi to continue opening the prize.

"My heart is beating so fast, please be considerate of me, or you can draw the prize yourself."

"It's not my turn to consider you, that has to be Mr. Song. Don't hesitate, start!" After saying that, Zhang Guoli took a step back and asked Sister Yi to complete the much-anticipated lottery opening session.

Seeing this, Liu Shishi stopped refusing, took a deep breath, and opened the first e-mail.

"Congratulations Haiqing! Congratulations!"

Hai Qing in the audience was delighted. He slowly stood up, turned around and bowed to the audience to express his gratitude.

Li Yong said in a loud voice with full energy: "There is still one spot left, let's wait and see."

Liu Shishi stretched out her slender finger again and tapped the screen: "It's Teacher Wenli!"

Dong Qing congratulated in her unique gentle voice: "Congratulations to Jiang Wenli! Congratulations to Hai Qing! We would also like to thank the prize-giving guests Zhang Guoli and Liu Shishi."

Amid the sound of passionate music, the two best actresses came on stage, hugged Zhang Guoli and Liu Shishi warmly, took over the golden Flying Goddess trophy, and then gave their acceptance speeches.

Liu Shishi retired after accomplishing her mission, returned to her seat and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now she was suddenly invited to go on stage without any preparation beforehand. She was very nervous when she was on stage and her palms were full of sweat.

"Master, was my performance okay? Was there anything inappropriate?"

"It's OK. After all, it's understandable that they were forced to go on stage in a hurry. But you should still be more tactful. You said you've only seen Jiang Wenli's plays, which will make the other nominees very embarrassed. It seems that none of them are as famous as Jiang Wenli."

Liu Shishi grumbled aggrievedly, "But if I'm just making it up, what if Zhang Guoli asks me about the details of the TV series and I can't answer, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?"

Li Xuejian chuckled: "Zhang Guoli is an old hand, he knows when to stop. I'll practice more and gain more experience later."

After Hai Qing and Jiang Wenli gave their acceptance speeches, there was singing and dancing on the stage. The 28th Feitian Awards Ceremony officially came to an end and the audience slowly left.

In the backstage, Liu Shishi was avoiding the reporters and was about to leave quietly, but was stopped by Zhang Guoli.

"Shishi, let me introduce you. This is my son Zhang Mo." Zhang Guoli enthusiastically introduced a young man next to him.

"Hello, Brother Zhang Mo." Sister Yi looked at Tong Yao's ex-boyfriend calmly and felt that there was a deep sense of fatigue in the depths of his eyes, and his face was slightly pale.

Zhang Mo responded indifferently: "Hello, Teacher Liu."

Seeing that Zhang Mo was acting nonchalantly, Zhang Guoli glared at his son implicitly, signaling him to be careful with his words and attitude. Then he smiled at Yijie, with a hint of flattery.

"Shishi, this brat of mine has a special connection with Tengda Culture. He has participated in two movies produced by Tengda Culture, Love Is Not Blind and Let the Bullets Fly."

Liu Shishi didn't understand why Zhang Guoli mentioned Tengda Culture, so she could only politely say, "These two movies are both box office hits and well-received. Brother Zhang Mo must have great acting skills to be able to participate in such a big production."

"Amo is really serious and hardworking in his work." Zhang Guoli praised his son and then asked kindly, "Shishi, what do you think of Amo signing with Tengda Culture?"

The first sister immediately understood that Zhang Guoli had been talking around for a long time just to pave the way for his son: "Teacher Guoli, I never interfere in the affairs of Tengda Culture. Senior Brother Zhang Mo wants to sign a contract with Tengda. You can contact Liu Rong."

"This!" Zhang Guoli didn't expect Liu Shishi to refuse so straightforwardly. In his opinion, it was just a matter of one word from her, the chairman's wife.

His son Zhang Mo is now somewhat famous, and with the support of his father, it is a win-win situation for him to join Tengda.

At this moment, Zhang Guoli was a little embarrassed. His expression was no longer as gentle as before. He replied stiffly, "Excuse me."

"Teacher Guoli, it is really inconvenient for me to interfere in Tengda's affairs. My husband is superstitious about this matter. I can give you Liu Rong's contact information, and you can have a good talk with her." Seeing that Zhang Guoli looked annoyed, Liu Shishi threw the blame on her husband.

Zhang Guoli's expression eased a little: "I am thoughtful."

After Liu Shishi left, Zhang Mo sneered, "Dad, what's the point of asking Hua Ping to do things for you? She probably has no say in the Song family. We still need her to give us Liu Rong's number."

Zhang Guoli immediately reprimanded, "Shut your stinky mouth. Can't you tell that this is her excuse? But as long as she has this attitude, it's fine. Once she sends me Liu Rong's contact information, I can use this opportunity to talk to Liu Rong."

Zhang Mo was not stupid. He understood his father's intention immediately and gave him a thumbs up: "Dad, that's smart!"
