"Eight out of ten nominations, "Tulip Beauty" becomes the biggest winner..."

"Box office doesn't equal awards? 'The Queen's Dog' topped the Spring Festival box office but didn't win the Ark Award..."

"'Tulip Beauty' dominates the Ark Awards. Did you understand this movie?"

"'The Queen's Dog' was a complete failure, and director Shi Jing actually said this in public..."

Bai Moxuan sneered and turned off his computer. These people were just a bunch of hindsighters who were just trying to get attention. Ever since "The Queen's Dog" failed to win any awards last week, the Internet has been filled with these news and film reviews.

So what if it didn't win an award? In terms of box office, "The Queen's Dog" beat "The Tulip Beauty".

So far, the total box office of "The Queen's Dog" has exceeded 5 billion, and it is only a matter of time before it exceeds 10 billion. What about "Tulip Beauty"? It has only a mere 20 to 30 billion box office now. This box office is just the box office of an ordinary romance movie, and there is no potential for a big hit.

To be honest, he was a little surprised that "The Queen's Dog" failed to win any awards.

In his critical eyes, "The Queen's Dog" is a very profound movie.

Although "The Queen's Dog" is based on ancient Earth culture, its core is modern spirit. The protagonist Wu Zetian's resistance to the patriarchal society was defeated but still glorious, and her spirit will live forever.

"The Queen's Dog" received seven nominations for the Ark Awards, three fewer than "The Tulip Beauty". However, the missing nominations were all technical awards, which were not very important.

This year is a weak year for the Ark Awards. Except for "Tulip Beauty", other participating films are mediocre. In his opinion, "Tulip Beauty", the only film that may be competitive, is extremely politically incorrect and has no chance of winning the award.

So in his opinion, it was a foregone conclusion that "The Queen's Dog" would win the main awards of the Ark Awards. Not to mention other awards, at least the Best Actress, Best Director and Best Film were in the palm of the hand of "The Queen's Dog".

But who would have known that the least likely award-winning work, "Tulip Beauty", would win the award.

This result made Bai Moxuan feel alarmed.

As the world's top film award, the Ark Award itself has strong political significance. The works that win the Ark Award may not have outstanding content, but at least they are politically correct.

Now, "Tulip Beauty", which is considered "politically incorrect" by Bai Moxuan, has won the Ark Award, which represents "political correctness". Who would believe that there is no trick in this?

Bai Moxuan frowned. His excellent business sense made him aware of some bad signs. It seemed that some hidden danger was brewing deep under the water.

As the head of the group, it has become his instinct to prepare for the worst when things happen.

But this time, he instinctively didn't want to think of the worst guess.

He sat quietly for a long time, then said to the AI butler, "Ask Director Liu from the Marketing Department to come to me."

"Master, yes."

After a while, the voice of the smart housekeeper sounded: "Master, Minister Liu Hui is outside the door."

Bai Moxuan came to his senses, his expression normal: "Come in."

"Boss Bai, you're looking for me?"

Bai Moxuan nodded and asked in a deep voice, "What is the overall online reputation of "The Queen's Dog" now?"

Liu Hui: "Although there were some malicious comments, overall there was sympathy and support prevailed."

Bai Moxuan was a little surprised. "I thought that after "Tulip Beauty" won the award, "The Queen's Dog" would be in an unfavorable public opinion environment."

Liu Hui smiled and said, "In the end, the work speaks for itself. The audience voted with their feet. The overall box office of The Queen's Dog was twice that of The Tulip Beauty, so this time The Queen's Dog was a surprise and failed to win any prizes. Naturally, many fans online were dissatisfied with this."

Bai Moxuan felt somewhat relieved.

The number of votes can be manipulated, but people’s hearts cannot be manipulated.

Bai Moxuan asked again: "Do you have any idea about the next marketing focus?"

Liu Hui showed a confident smile and talked about her plans one by one.

Simply put, they were elevating The Queen's Dog by disparaging The Tulip Beauty, which is often called dragging down. Then they used the fact that The Queen's Dog did not win the award as a topic to aggravate its tragedy, thereby questioning the award criteria and professionalism of the Ark Awards.

Finally, Liu Hui smiled and said, "The audience is not stupid. They knew something was wrong when The Queen's Dog failed to make any money. Some people online have already started to think that this is a conspiracy. Maybe the box office of The Queen's Dog will see a second blowout next time."

Bai Moxuan pondered for a few seconds and nodded, "Of course, I can." He considered it for a few seconds and said, "Regarding the dark side of the Ark Prize..." He stopped again.

Liu Hui didn't understand, but she waited patiently.

Bai Moxuan waved his hand, "Forget it, go down, and do as you think."

After Liu Hui left, Bai Moxuan fell into deep thought.

What he wanted to say was that the press releases about the shady dealings of the Ark Awards should not be too exaggerated, and it would be better to focus all the attention on the movie "Tulip Beauty" itself and just gloss over the shady dealings behind it to avoid getting into trouble.

But in the end he didn't say that.

Let's take this opportunity to find out the truth.

I wonder if I can get the person behind this to come down?

…

Luo Bao was a little surprised.

He originally thought that "The Queen's Dog" did not win the award, and now there would definitely be a lot of ridicule on major social media platforms.

In fact, some netizens did express sarcasm about this at the beginning, but the wind direction soon changed.

At first, it was a Kuaiyin influencer with tens of millions of fans who posted a video to denounce the Ark Awards and question its unfairness.

The person who posted this video is a Kuaiyin blogger with millions of followers. The video is not long, only four or five minutes, but it has received millions of likes, hundreds of thousands of reposts, and hundreds of thousands of comments.

This short video of a few minutes quickly climbed to the top of the website's popularity list, was forwarded by netizens to major social platforms, and was widely circulated on the Internet.

The up-loader Xiao Nengjun has always been famous for complaining about current affairs and making silly jokes. Today, the topic of his complaints is the Ark Prize.

“Hello everyone, I’m Xiao Nengjun, and the theme of today’s video is - On the collapse of the Ark Prize and the rise of the bastards.

Are you still worshipping and praising the Ark Awards? Are you still considering the Ark Awards as the highest film award in the world? Now I want to tell you that you have all been deceived. The Ark Awards are over!

Recently, "The Queen's Dog", which had been a box office success, won nothing in the award season, while "The Tulip Beauty", whose main ideology is extremely politically incorrect, won eight out of ten nominations and became the only winner of this year's Ark Awards. Such blatant behind-the-scenes manipulation is truly astonishing, and it also stripped off the last fig leaf of the Ark Awards.

…

"The Tulip Beauty" is not terrible. What is terrible is the public's tacit approval of the potential extreme ideas it spreads, and the public's indifference to the ideological bow!

If this kind of movie that speaks for the Zerg and whitewashes the Zerg can be accepted by mainstream public opinion and can be recognized by the Ark Awards, then I can tell you for sure here - we humans are finished! We humans are going to be extinct! Do you know what will survive from now on? It's a hybrid! It's a hybrid born after being raped by the Zerg culture bow woman!

………”

The person who posted the video is a well-known internet celebrity. The content of the video is explosive enough, and the words used by the up-host are fierce and extreme. Naturally, such a video will attract a lot of heated discussion once it is released.

Xiao Nengjun was just the beginning. Next, bigwigs from various fields in China came out one after another to support "The Queen's Royal Dog" in various ways.

Zhong Liangning, a celebrity in the Xingbo history circle, said: "History is the root of mankind. Forgetting history is like betraying our ancestors!"

Xingbo Finance Circle Big V: "Analyzing what it means to vote with your feet from "The Queen's Dog"..."

Bai Moxuan, the head of Bai Energy: "At least, "The Queen's Dog" lacks justice."

Song Minghan, program planner of CCTV Documentary Channel: "The flames of war have been ignited. We cannot take a step back in this war in the cultural field!"

Xu Donghan, Chairman of Qijiang Video Network: "Every purchase you make, every ticket you buy, every penny you spend, even every click and every comment you make, is a vote, and the result of the vote determines what kind of world your children live in."

Cao Desheng, Chairman of the China Film Association: "From the very beginning, film has been a political art form, and it has played a certain role in propaganda and brainwashing. Now our enemies are sharpening their knives, but our people still lack the necessary vigilance and armament."

An Yun, Best Director of the Ark Awards: "The Ark Awards is no longer the Ark Awards we know. It has lost its original intention and has become a mouthpiece for certain forces."

………

If it had happened in the past, there would have been different voices on the Internet responding, but the strange thing is that this time the Internet received almost unanimous support. The few voices in support of "Tulip Beauty" were like a candle in the wind, swaying and then quickly extinguished.

Netizens expressed their support for Shi Jing, and many people also questioned the shady dealings of the Ark Awards this time.

On the forum, netizens kept posting to call on people to book out the entire cinema to show their support for "The Queen's Dog". There were even wealthy people who spent a fortune to book out the entire cinema at their own expense to invite people to watch "The Queen's Dog".

"We are not afraid of not winning the Ark Award. We will vote with our feet and send "The Queen's Dog" into the top ten box office in film history!"

"The Ark Awards are unfair. Let's give "The Queen's Dog" a fair evaluation!"

"In time, people in the future will forget the award-winning "Tulip Beauty", but they will never forget "The Queen's Dog" which did not win this year!"

"If you don't want movies like 'Tulip Beauty' to be popular in cinemas in the future, please contribute to the box office of 'The Queen's Dog'!"

"Fuck the Ark Awards, I only watch "The Queen's Dog", "Tulip Beauty" is only liked by brain-dead elementary school kids!"

Luo Bao felt warm in his heart. It turned out that the people had sharp eyes.

He immediately called on several of his fan groups with thousands of members to organize and book theaters to support "The Queen's Dog". Many people responded to this. Soon, several large-scale fan groups booked theaters to watch the movie offline.

While being moved by the enthusiasm of fans, Luo Bao was also surprised by the unanimous support online.

He remembered that "Tulip Beauty" also had many fans, so why didn't they jump out to oppose it this time?

I'm afraid only Le Jing can answer Luo Bao's questions.

The reason why there are no fans of "Tulip Beauty" fighting back on the Internet is very simple, and it can be summed up in four words: your account is gone.

Those who support "Tulip Beauty", whether they are real fans or fake fans, have all been banned by the system.

Of course, Le Jing didn't do this, he doesn't have that much ability.

Of course, only the state can do this.

It is the state that sends people to guide and control public opinion.

"The Queen's Dog" is just an inducement. The country's real goal is to seize the high ground of public opinion and conduct anti-brainwashing against the Zerg's cultural invasion.

Le Jing didn't expect that he would be recruited by the country just because he made a few movies.

Among them, we have to thank Mr. Cao Desheng for his strong recommendation, and also thank the Zerg for their aggressive and ruthless approach.

Le Jing was now in the safe house prepared for him by the country. He leaned back in his chair, thinking about what happened in the past few days, and couldn't help but thank his keen sixth sense.

He was a little frustrated that he didn't win any Ark Prize, but he wasn't completely discouraged.

It was rare that his competitive spirit was aroused. Since the Ark Award did not recognize me, then I would let the people recognize me.

He is only 25 years old this year and his career has just begun. He still has a long time to make more and better works. Awards are not the only criteria to measure his works. The people's love and the audience's support are the only criteria.

So he quickly put aside the loss of the Ark Prize and started making arrangements for moving.

The house he had asked Sister Zhang to find for him was finally found. It was located in an upscale residential area with good security, which met Le Jing's requirements for privacy.

He had already moved in before the Ark Awards ceremony, but there were still some things in the rented house that had not been moved in. Le Jing hired a moving company to help move the things.

The moving robot drove the aircraft and came to move the luggage as promised. Logically, Le Jing should also take the aircraft to the new home.

But the moment he boarded the aircraft, he felt inexplicably nervous, and his back felt cold when he met the robot's cold and inorganic eyes.

He decided to trust his instincts.

At the last moment, he rushed down from the aircraft and ran forward a few steps without looking back.

Then, there was a loud "bang" and a cloud of black smoke came out of the entire aircraft. The violent shock wave caused Le Jing to fly forward several meters, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

Le Jing turned over dizzy and barely stood up. It took him a few seconds to focus his blurred vision and finally see what was in front of him clearly - the aircraft exploded into countless pieces like firecrackers, and the wreckage was now burning.

Broken armor plates and parts were scattered everywhere, and Le Jing realized belatedly that there was a burning pain in his back.

He reached back and saw blood on his hand.

Then he fainted and lost all consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was in the hospital and all his injuries had healed. He heard what happened next from the nurse.

I heard that the moving robot was infected with a malicious virus and activated its self-destruct program, which caused the explosion of the aircraft. The lucky guy Le Jing escaped death.

He had not been lying in bed for long when several people who were allegedly from the national security department came and said that Le Jing had been selected for the country's special talent protection program and that they would be responsible for providing close protection for Le Jing.

Then, Le Jing finally learned the truth from them.

——It was an assassination by the Zerg.

When he knew the reason, Le Jing even had the urge to laugh. He and assassination really had a special affinity.

What to say? He has a unique skill in avoiding assassinations?

At that time, the security department said: "Mr. Shi, in order to avoid the Zerg's subsequent retaliation, please move with us to a safe place."

Le Jing sat up from the bed, his eyes calm but burning with an uncompromising light: "I am a director, my job is to make movies. If I have to hide for the rest of my life for the sake of my so-called life safety, then there is no need for me to cherish my life."

The staff member smiled and said, "Of course you can continue to make films. It should be said that the country protects you so that you can continue to make films."

"As long as you are in the same camp as us, the country will support you in making any film you want to make."

Le Jing was silent for a moment, with an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes: "...Next I want to shoot a story about a country that perished due to peaceful evolution."

The staff member's eyes lit up and he gave a strange smile: "This must be an interesting story. Perhaps you can tell it to our leader?"
