Chapter 292
Magnolia: Please make peace with the emperor
Silence is the Magnolia Awards Ceremony tonight.
There has never been such an embarrassing moment since the establishment of this award. When the winner of the Best Actress award was announced, the camera in the live broadcast room could only focus on the award presenters and the audience, and not even one candidate could be shown.
As for who the winner is, it is no longer the thing that netizens care about the most. From the moment all the candidates were absent, this award became a hot potato and also the most ridiculous joke in the domestic entertainment industry in recent years.
Among the candidates there are seniors and those with high traffic. The seniors did not respond, but there are always those who are absent from the awards ceremony every year. There is nothing to say about this. The same goes for the high traffic, but their fans will emphasize in the hot searches that they really did not go because of their busy schedules and there is absolutely no other reason.
Well... netizens can only say that it is really a coincidence.
Although Ling Suisui is not on the nomination list, in some ways, her presence is stronger than if she were there in person.
Whether these actresses are truly busy or simply don’t want to be the center of attention tonight, their avoidance attitude speaks volumes.
Look at what happened to the Magnolia Awards - the nomination list put together by the organizers showed that even the candidates themselves were wavering in their attitudes. Who can be convinced by this? Now, everyone is unhappy.
Now that the coincidence has happened and no one cares about the Best Actress candidate, the question is, netizens want to know, what should Bai Yulan do now to reconcile with Ling Suisui?
Someone suggested that Ling Sui should be awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award. This would provide a reason not only for this session but also for every session in the future.
This proposal received a lot of likes, but unfortunately it can only be thought about. After all, there is a strict procedure for judging and awarding the Magnolia Awards, and it is not something that the organizers can add on at will.
This matter has been hotly discussed online, and many people are eager to add fuel to the discussion. Netizens thought that she was just joking, but Bai Yulan really found Ling Sui in private.
Of course, it was definitely not a straightforward communication like "Emperor Sui, please make peace", but Magnolia asked her to shoot a promotional video.
The awards have already been given out, so it would be weird to shoot a promotional video at this time. When Ling Sui asked, he found out that it was the commemorative event for the xxth anniversary.
Cooperation means sending a signal of reconciliation. Ling Sui was still using her secondary account to watch the show a few days ago, but she didn't expect that it would be her turn to be troubled so soon.
The truth behind many things is not as exaggerated as what is spread online. At least she and Bai Yulan did not reach the point of "never seeing each other again until death." She won't offend a large group of people just for a Best Actress nomination. It's not worth it.
If she was free and Bai Yulan took the initiative to invite her, Ling Suisui would be willing to show that they had reconciled in public, but the problem was that she was not free.
It is now the end of June, and "Beauty and the Beast" will be released in less than a week, so she has to run around to promote it; "Like a Dream" is scheduled to start shooting in August, and she also has to participate in the script reading and early preparations.
This is just about the work, but the itinerary of an international superstar is more than that. She also had to shoot commercials and magazines, attend several parties and charity events, and she didn't even have time to go home, let alone find time to shoot a promotional video for Magnolia.
What they want is not a 30-second congratulatory video that can be shot with a mobile phone, but a concept promotional video similar to a micro-film.
Ling Sui considered it over and over again and politely declined, but it was Tong Xiaoman who replied personally.
Although Ling Suisui didn't mind doing Bai Yulan a favor, if it affected her work, then there would be no room for negotiation. After all, they were in the wrong first, so she wouldn't rush to ask for it.
She was working according to the original schedule, but Bai Yulan was getting anxious. Although the Magnolia Award judging process does not require public participation, if the public does not approve and public opinion is generally negative, then what is the point of awarding this award?
This kind of disappointment of audience expectations actually happens frequently in various award shows, but the Magnolia Awards are held every year, and Ling Sui-sui was denied the Best Actress award for two consecutive years, which has caused heated discussions on the Internet.
The organizers were quite regretful, but given Ling Suisui's current status, the most they could do was not bring her along, and it was difficult for them to come up with any strong bargaining chips. Although they look like a large group of people with great momentum, they actually all have their own plans.
Therefore, the organizer asked a few people to help pass the message, and after several layers of interest relationships and personal connections, Ling Suisui finally agreed to set aside two days next month to cooperate with the shooting of the promotional video.
Tong Xiaoman also joked: "I feel like you can reserve the Magnolia Lifetime Achievement Award for next year."
"No, no, no, there's no such award at the Magnolia Awards. Besides, I'm still young and I don't plan to retire."
If you ask Ling Suisui whether she wants to win this kind of award, the answer is yes, of course she does, but she doesn’t think it’s time now.
She is a woman who once said, "The final evaluation of a career can only be found on an epitaph." How could she be in such a hurry to achieve lifelong success? Judging from the name, it feels like it will become "history" after you take it.
A marketing account released the news that Ling Suisui would be participating in the filming of the Magnolia Awards promotional video, and some rumors about the two sides being in a mess and various conspiracy theories were self-defeating. Netizens guessed that this matter would definitely have a decent ending, and the actresses who were nominated this year, especially those who won the awards, also breathed a sigh of relief.
The only ones who were broken down were probably Ling Suisui's black fans, or those who were led by the black fans' leader and truly believed that Ling Suisui had offended the industry and would be banned in the country.
No, it’s said that the arm cannot twist the thigh. 208 is nothing in front of mainstream awards? Why didn't Magnolia Brand "punish" Ling Suisui who was stirring up trouble, but instead eagerly invited her to shoot a promotional video?
Fortunately, the updates posted by these black fans were quickly covered up by fans and passers-by in Ling Sui's real-time square, otherwise, who knows how the fans would laugh when they saw the above remarks.
Even if the haters are about to lose their defense, it is really not worth it just for such a small matter as the Magnolia Awards promotional video. Ling Suisui will be in a new movie next week and will be shooting a magazine cover in a few days. In another two months, it won’t be too late to be upset when you see the cover of the American edition of Vogue.
Kim September, American version of Vogue, single cover, and magazine invitation, brand bidding, these keywords strung together, must be driving haters crazy. Princess Dilande is here, get out of the way!
Before the release of "Beauty and the Beast", Ling Sui was so busy running around that his flying time was almost longer than his landing time.
To be honest, although the movies she starred in before also achieved good box office results after being sold overseas, the distribution treatment of those films certainly cannot be compared with that of DiLand's "own daughter".
On the plane, Ling Suisui discovered that he had a pimple under the corner of his mouth.
She has always been self-disciplined in her diet, so the possibility of getting a sore throat was ruled out. She rarely stays up late, so it's just that she's under too much pressure.
Ling Sui thought she was not that nervous and anxious, but she didn't expect that her body's reaction was more honest than her brain.
She put on the acne patch handed to her by her assistant and originally wanted to wear an eye mask to sleep. However, when she realized that she was a little anxious and wanted to relax her body, she couldn't fall asleep.
Ling Suisui did not force himself to sleep, but thought about something else to divert his attention.
For example, she opened the app and used the administrator's account to check the progress of "Ru Meng Ling" online.
The actors for the first twenty parts have basically been confirmed, and there are also several special appearances, special guest appearances, and friendly appearances. The character list is full. All the roles that Ling Suisui has some impression of after reading the script have already found actors.
Since Ling Sui is solely responsible for the investment and traffic of this drama, the only thing to consider when casting other characters is the suitability. If any platform or co-producer wants to squeeze someone in, there are a few guest appearance spots available, but forget about it if you want to have a lot of roles.
Do you think your artist can be the protagonist? Let’s first take a look at the list of leading actors in “Ru Meng Ling” - the top eight actors each won a mainstream acting award, and the top four actors won at least two. If you don't have a trophy to show off, don't even think about it.
You say the leading role isn't okay, but a supporting role is okay? Even top stars like Li Mingxu and Xu Shiling, and people with strong connections like Ying Nian, have to go through the audition process honestly and wait for several rounds of notifications. I missed the audition some time ago, and now it’s harder than climbing Mount Everest to jump the queue.
Before auditioning, some actors fantasized about playing an outstanding role and being taken to the sky by the Emperor. However, after communicating with their agents and the crew, they found out that even the competition ratio for eunuchs is 1:5, and this is still the role with the least competition among roles of the same level!
Not to mention the actors, even Ling Suisui was shocked.
She knows that her play is in great demand, but is it too much to say? There are really so many male actors willing to play eunuchs!
Feng Yang analyzed it for her and many people might think that this was the best and most likely opportunity to cooperate with Ling Suisui in the next few years.
They are really worried that she will go to Hollywood to make movies in the future and no longer return to the domestic entertainment industry, or that she will focus on art films in order to win awards. Then the threshold will be too high for these actors who want to curry favor with her, and the expected returns will be very low.
After all, not everyone can take the path of Ling Suisui, which is both well-received and commercially successful. Most people are already very impressive if they can manage one thing well.
Therefore, domestic entertainment actors have shown unprecedented enthusiasm for "Ru Meng Ling". And because this is a drama about power struggles and a lot of actors are needed, everyone thought the chances were great, so they all came.
But I didn’t expect that many people thought so... When the marketing account broke the news, it used “domestic entertainment has its own successful landing” to describe the intensity of the auditions, and predicted that this drama has been put on hold, and it will either become a household name or flop spectacularly, in any case it will be very lively.
Thinking of this, Ling Sui suddenly felt more pressured.
She shifted her attention again - "Ru Meng Ling" was produced by Fengshou Media, and it has not yet been decided which platform to sell it to. The three companies are bidding frantically. Ling Suisui has no preference on this matter. It is hard to say whether it is good or bad. Let them show their sincerity with money.
Of course, she only sells the copyright in mainland China. There are many overseas streaming media that want it, and that’s a different price.
Ling Suisui took a deep breath and let her consciousness enter the system space. She decided to watch a few movies in it.
As of the day before its release, the pre-sale box office of "Beauty and the Beast" in mainland China had exceeded 200 million yuan, breaking the highest pre-sale record for this year's Spring Festival.
With such a strong commercial film leading the summer vacation, competitors are a little trembling with fear.
Two hundred million pre-sale! Many movies are not sure whether they can make 200 million after this summer vacation! Don't think that breaking 100 million is an easy thing.
It seems that the powerful combination of Ling Suisui and Princess Dilande's IP is going to create a box office frenzy in the mainland.
