Yang Ruoqian took a quick look at the list.

A member of the organizing committee explained: "Mr. Yang, we have found all the domestic films that were released this year and have poor reputations."

"However, we did not include some films that are obviously entertainment in nature or have almost zero investment in the candidate list."

"If these films were included, I'm worried that some people might choose to make bad films just to win our Golden Mop Award, and then the award might become a little too boring."

"Although in order to prevent this situation, you have stipulated that the prize for the Golden Mop Award will not be too good, and all resources will be provided by the Shelter Company, but for some speculators, even the resources provided by the Shelter Company are enough to make back their investment."

"Besides, the material of your trophy is quite exquisite, and the value of the trophy itself is not low either."

“…”

Yang Ruoqian nodded as he listened, "Indeed, this kind of completely meaningless movie should not be included in the Golden Mop Award selection."

Mr. Yang’s urgency to compete with the system has weakened a lot now. Although he still has to work hard to lose money, he can’t let such shameless people get away with it.

And it doesn't make much sense to give this award to a movie that is unknown, bad and mediocre.

The Golden Mop Award is given to those companies that cannot make back their investment even if they win the award, and the audience feels the same way. It is best to be a large company with a big production.

This will not only offend the production companies, directors and actors of bad movies, but will also offend the fans of the actors in bad movies.

Isn’t the entertainment industry a circle where people give each other face and exchange resources?

Yang Ruoqian wanted to tell everyone that not only would the Kuiguang Group not be integrated into this circle, but their fig leaf would also be stripped off.

Now, they should be attacked by the whole circle, right? Will Kuiguang Group be excluded in various ways? Hearing that Mr. Yang also affirmed the idea of ​​the organizing committee, the judges were relieved. One of the boys who looked younger stood up quickly and said, "Mr. Yang, let me get you two trophies."

Yang Ruoqian nodded and continued looking at the list in his hand.

In fact, the entire selection committee is not just made up of the people here, but the other members are on rotation rather than permanent.

After all, directors and stars have too many things to do. It is impossible for them to do nothing every day and then come to the company to give scores to other movie actors.

For example, director An Zhou is also a special judge of the Academy Awards.

After filming "The Boys", he completely established his position in the entertainment industry and is now planning to shoot another TV series.

The same goes for other actors - after all, not everyone is as lucky as Xiao Shang, who can always get resources within the company.

"Hmm... the selected movies include 'Hard Boiled'. Oh, I still have some impression of this movie. It's about that guy who stole the dog, right? Then it is indeed eligible for selection, haha! In fact, many people don't know that the funniest thing about this movie is not the famous scene of him stealing the dog, but that the box office was only 700,000."

Yes, the box office of "Hard Boiled" did not even reach the million level, it was just 700,000.

With so much investment and so little return, it is another kind of wonder in the history of film.

"The second one on the list is 'Devil's Fortress'... Oh, if Yuefu Group sees that their movie is included in the list, will they be so angry that they will call me and scold me severely?"

Why you again? Why me again?

Yuefu Group has not provoked Kuiguang Group during this period...

As a result, the worst film award of the year led by Kuiguang Group still has to include Yuefu Group in it. Isn’t that a bit too disrespectful?

It can be seen from the low-key behavior of Yuefu Group during this period that their strategy towards Kuiguang Group has completely changed.

The previous proactive attacks and provocations, smear campaigns, etc., have now turned into completely playing dead.

After experiencing various problems, including legal failures, Yuefu Group has not been able to produce any outstanding works and is still relying on a few celebrities in the company to make a living.

But this year's film market was almost monopolized by the Kuiguang Group throughout the year.

The internationally award-winning "The Boys", the box office miracle-making "The Wandering Blue Planet", and the now highly anticipated "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" have all compressed the Yuefu Group's presence to an infinitely low level.

Even first-line stars need to constantly appear in the public eye to ensure their exposure, otherwise they will gradually become out of date.

Be it movies, TV series, or variety shows...

Apart from the fact that Kuiguang Group is not very interested in TV dramas, the other two important means of exposure have been monopolized by Kuiguang Group this year.

More importantly, countless new actors have officially entered the public eye because of Kuiguang Group’s movies, and Feng Luo, who was beginning to show signs of becoming outdated, has also returned to the peak of his career through Kuiguang Group’s variety shows.

What a huge temptation this is for celebrities.

According to some gossip, Feng Luo's relationship with Kuiguang Group was not so good before, and the two parties failed to reach a cooperation due to contract issues.

But even so, Kuiguang Group still gave Feng Luo and Shang Qianyu the opportunity to form a team, and still did not target her too much in the variety show. She even got a good result of second place in the end.

Therefore, many artists in Yuefu Group will receive such a signal - even if they were once from Yuefu, Kui Guang will not refuse to cooperate because of this identity.

The centrifugal force was instantly maxed out.

There are rumors online now that Yuefu Group is going to be ruined and Kuiguang Group is about to become half of the entertainment industry, so they can't afford to do anything wrong again.

Yang Ruoqian shook his head and said with a smile, "But they will definitely not admit defeat... Yuefu Group is probably just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for me to make a movie with a bad reputation, and then try their best to discredit me."

But unfortunately, they don't know that the reason why Kuiguang Group is still so weak and has not been able to sweep Yuefu Group into the garbage dump of history is because there are too many successful works! While thinking this, the young male judge and a staff member had carefully moved the two trophies over.

"Boss Yang, these two trophies are for Best Director and Worst Actor. Would you like to take a look?"

Yang Ruoqian turned his chair and looked towards the table.

The trophy representing the Best Director Award is not symmetrical, but instead has a design aesthetic similar to that of the World Cup Trophy.

The entire trophy is nearly 20 cm high. The cup body is made of pure gold, platinum and various high-grade gemstones. The round crystal cup base gives people a sense of stability and elegance.

The overall style of the trophy is modern and high-end...you can tell at a glance that it is worth a lot of money.

It just looks very heavy at first glance, and holding this thing to take photos may be a big burden for the award recipient.

"This trophy is really beautiful." Yang Ruoqian was very satisfied and took out his mobile phone, "Let me take a picture..."

After taking the photo, Yang Ruoqian turned his gaze to the place not far from the trophy.

What is displayed there is, of course, the Worst Actor Award in the "Golden Mop Award".

Unlike the high-end Academy Award Cornerstone Award trophy, the plastic cup alone is full of irony.

Not to mention the little red flower used to connect the cup body and the cup base, which gives people a sense of ridiculousness and childishness.

One can feel the irony just by looking at it.

"Good! This design is really great." Yang Ruoqian was very satisfied with the trophy. "The designer must have spent a lot of time on it. We can't let the designer's hard work go to waste. We must make sure that this trophy falls into the hands of the person who is most qualified to receive it."

Will the winner really come to receive the award? The organizing committee collectively complained in their hearts.

This award is obviously a mocking one, so coming here to claim it would be a bit of a humiliation to yourself.

The only way to object is to simply ignore it and show contempt for the award.

Neither accepting it nor cursing is the best way to deal with it.

It goes without saying that it is easy to receive, but if you overreact, it will be understood as a breach of defense.

The best way to deal with it is to act as if you don't care, or even pretend you haven't heard of it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Therefore, the organizing committee does not attach much importance to this award.

"Um... Boss, let me ask a question." Shang Qianyu, who had been sitting on the side watching the show, suddenly raised his hand, "What should we do if the winner doesn't come to receive the award?"

"It doesn't matter. If you don't want to claim it, then don't claim it." Yang Ruoqian was always generous about this kind of thing. "If no one wants it, just register a Xianyu account with the company's account and list the trophy at cost price. Whoever wants it can buy it."

Upon hearing Mr. Yang’s genius decision, the entire organizing committee was stunned.

Good man, if no one comes to receive the award, they just sell the trophy at a bargain price in the name of the official, and on Xianyu? This is simply making the hype too much, and it is the kind that hurts others and does not benefit themselves.

"What a loss..."

"Okay." The humble and polite Mr. Yang couldn't stand such praise, and his face became a little serious. "We can talk about these trivial matters later. We still have important things to do now."

The organizing committee, who almost couldn't help laughing, immediately returned to work: "Boss Yang, I'm sorry, please tell me the task."

"First of all, awarding an award requires not only prizes, but also a gorgeous award ceremony." Yang Ruoqian said, "Otherwise it's like using a urinal to hold good wine."

Shang Qianyu immediately responded: "Boss, that's a good analogy."

Yang Ruoqian continued, "I will move out an entire floor of the company and allocate a sum of money to you. You must make the award ceremony luxurious and high-end according to the top international standards. If you have any difficulties, you must tell the company... This is our first award ceremony. No matter what the inside is like, it must be acceptable on the surface."

The organizing committee, which was responsible for the reputation of the Kuiguang Group, looked even more serious: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, everything is guaranteed to satisfy you."

Finally, Yang Ruoqian pointed to the "Golden Red Flower" trophy on the table and said, "Then you can choose the worst movie of the year based on the nominations on this list, and explain to me why it is Yuefu Group's "Devil's Fortress", is there any problem?"

Judges: “…”

"Okay, Mr. Yang."

…

A university campus, noon.

A boy and a girl were eating in the school cafeteria.

They were the young couple who stayed up all night to watch "The Room".

"Aaaah! The long vacation is over just like that."

"Why, haven't you had enough fun yet?" The boy took a bite of the food on the plate and sighed with satisfaction, "You weren't in this state when you just came out of the secret room."

In order to take better care of the customer experience, tickets to the secret room can be purchased in groups of two at most, but similarly, if you want to refund the tickets, you must refund two tickets together.

After the two went to Jinhai City, they would wait for the ticket purchasing app every day to grab tickets, and luckily they got the last batch of tickets for the long holiday.

At that time, there were already several waves of tourists visiting the escape room, and many of them provided strategies.

In the end, all players reached a consensus - the best strategy is not to look at the strategy at all.

The degree of insanity of this secret room has exceeded everyone's imagination.

When the first group of people entered, the theme of the chamber was still a school supernatural story; when the next group of people entered, the entire chamber had seamlessly switched to a large hospital...

Those who refused to believe and insisted on memorizing the guide were dumbfounded.

The girl rolled her eyes: "That was just the feeling at the time, okay? Thinking back on it now, it's really interesting."

"It's a pity that neither of us has completed the game." The boy felt a little sad. "Oh, I really want to see the whole story."

"We just missed out on two or three hours of gameplay, which isn't that much." The girl didn't mind. "Later I asked the people who played with us and caught up on the plot. It turned out we didn't miss much, so it was OK."

"I won't be able to play it anymore, alas... I heard that those who got the tickets will no longer have the right to buy tickets within three months."

"It's good to be able to play it once, and I think Kuiguang Group is a more progressive company." The girl opened her phone and took a look. "Maybe they will launch more interesting projects in the future?"

They are willing to undertake even thankless, capital-intensive and low-return projects like large escape rooms, which is completely different from many other companies.

Thinking that Kuiguang Group might launch more interesting activities than this giant escape room, the boy couldn't help but look forward to it: "That's true... I have to follow their account to avoid missing out on any important information."

As he said this, he put down his chopsticks and took out his cell phone from his pocket.

“Follow all the accounts on Baopu, Weibo, Douyin, Bilibili… and check out what they are posting.”

After taking a look, the boy was stunned for a moment.

"On December 28, the Best Series of the Year at the Academy Awards will be announced, as will... uh, the Worst Series of the Year at the Academy Awards?"

"The whole thing is live, welcome to watch?!" (End of this chapter)
