Chapter 29
Yan Ze's assistant, Secretary Gao, was promoted to the leader of the third fan group because of his strong business ability. At this moment, he was delivering a very inflammatory pre-war mobilization speech in the group. At the same time, he once again thanked his boss in his heart for not having to work overtime, so that he and his girlfriend could fight for Director Huan together. It was great!
Little did they know that Yan Ze had also opened the voting channel when he returned home.
Although I am not a fan of people who only talk about the quality of works, I still care about Jinse's preliminary ranking. Yanze has also watched other works with high rankings. Speaking objectively, even the works of gold medal directors lack novelty.
Take the work of Director Jin, who was signed by Crown Entertainment next door, as an example. There are many musical elements in the film, and each song is of good quality. However, the quality of the music is mainly due to the music producer.
It was said that in order to secure first place, they had specially invited a veteran producer from the same company's music department to produce the album. Yan Ze could even see that the other party not only wanted to win the Cold Label Award, but was also preparing for the annual Blue Award that would be held at the end of the year.
The film has some overlap with Jinse in terms of elements, abandoning the traditional special effects blockbusters, and the historical background is set in the special period when humans migrated to their home planet.
In a slightly sensitive environment with heavy implications, the researcher and the male protagonist who is a spacecraft pilot dedicate themselves to humanity, with an implicit and restrained love, and their love ends in tragedy.
During the transfer process, the female researcher was forced to work under extreme conditions to salvage precious data due to an accident. In the end, the data was successfully brought aboard the spacecraft, but the female researcher was left forever in the data room flooded by sea water and on the destroyed mother planet.
The male pilot was in great grief, but he kept his duty in mind. He endured the pain, put on his pilot's suit and sat back in the captain's seat. He was responsible for the lives of his fellow comrades on the spacecraft, and he had to drive the Luoshen to take his compatriots to their new home. At the same time, he had to protect the precious information that his wife had guarded with her life.
The play ends with a mixture of passion in sadness and perseverance in confusion, like the background music of human vitality.
This tear-jerking literary musical also takes advantage of the popularity of the mother planet culture that has been gradually rising in recent times.
There is no harm without comparison.
In Jinse, music serves as a hidden thread running through the main plot, from "Ten Sides of Ambush" to "Jinse" and then to the last song "High Mountains and Flowing Water". The emotional transitions expressed are rich and varied, which elevates the theme.
Apparently, the director of Goodbye Blue Planet also referred to the shooting style of Yang Tianxing's music video.
When everyone was united, all the members sang uplifting music that made the audience's heart surge.
When the hero and heroine said goodbye at the end, strings of bubbles and colorful fish poured in as the heroine opened her voice and surrounded them. Occasionally, white sharks and other sea overlords flashed outside the laboratory, creating a sense of contrast between beauty and the beast.
The pictures are beautiful, and the high notes of the male and female protagonists are like the heavenly music of dolphins.
In terms of image creation, the director performed stably, but compared with the smooth and seamless flow of Jinse, the details of Goodbye Blue Star seemed rough. Looking at the whole play, some parts of the combination of music and plot seemed a bit forced.
In Yan Ze's heart, Jinse's score is higher than Goodbye Blue Star.
Good works should naturally be seen by more audiences. Looking at Jinse, who is currently ranked seventh, Yanze frowned and cast his vote for Jinse.
I don't know if it's because although Huan Xu's fans are few in number, they are all very talented, or because Jinse herself is too good, but after the last night of voting, the final number of votes actually doubled.
The audience of Cang Tianxing who were paying attention to the voting results watched as Jinse's votes dropped from seventh to sixth, and ten minutes before the voting channel closed, it overwhelmed the work of the veteran director of Silver, who was originally in fifth place, and snatched the other party's position.
The moment the voting channel ended, fans in each group cheered as if they had won a battle.
"I actually made it into the top five. My Jinse is amazing."
"Don't be proud. Keep up the good work. All my generals, obey my command and aim for the throne!"
"I might be overthinking this, but a soldier who doesn't want to be a general isn't a good soldier. Go, go, go!"
Gu Chen, who was constantly keeping an eye on the vote count, also immediately sent a message to Huan Xu. The child suppressed his excitement, but his face still had a blush that had not yet faded: "Fifth place, did you see it?"
"Yeah, I just saw it." Huan Xu, who had experienced many ups and downs, was quite satisfied with the result, but he was not as happy as Gu Chen and Gu's father to the point of almost losing his composure.
Huan Xu acted so calmly that Gu Chen calmed down a little. He thought Huan Xu felt that Jinse's ranking was too low.
Gu Chen actually felt that his ranking was low, but at this moment, he pursed his lips and said comfortingly, like a proud child, "With a strong recommendation tomorrow, the number of votes will increase again."
There is no need to even wait until tomorrow. Many people need to work during the day and have no interest in sifting through the crowd during their rest time. They are accustomed to only watching high-quality film and television dramas based on various official lists and rankings to avoid stepping on landmines.
The bronze medal behind Jinse's director is really eye-catching against the backdrop of two gold medals and two silver medals. In addition, her high-end record of meeting and killing gods along the way, winning a gold medal and several silver medals to rank fifth, has also attracted the attention of some curious viewers. Even those who were not interested in Jinse's difficult-to-pronounce title still clicked the watch button out of curiosity.
They originally had a lot of thoughts in mind, so they would just look at it for a few minutes, and if it didn’t work out, they would leave. If it was good, they would add it to their favorites and slowly catch up on it while slacking off at work.
As a result, a few minutes later, two little figures appeared in their minds. The little figure in white clothes said, "It's late. It's time to go to bed. We still have to move bricks tomorrow. We'll see tomorrow night."
The black-clad villain nodded and replied perfunctorily, "Okay, I'll go to sleep right away. One more look, and that'll be a billion."
I watched the whole show until I finished it, but I couldn't calm down at all. With trembling hands, I typed the following line of comments: [Love, absolutely love, woo woo woo.]
Dense real-time comments filled the screen. The next day, countless curious people woke up early to find that their eyes were red and swollen, and there were dark circles under their eyes. They had to wear sunglasses to cover their eyes on the way to work.
Because there were too many people wearing sunglasses on the road, some elderly people who didn't know what was going on thought that the young people were doing some weird team-building activity.
On the second day of the second round of voting, Jinse made another comeback, moving from fifth to fourth place.
On the fifth day of the second round of voting, Jinse officially entered the finals and competed with the works of two directors Jin for the top three places.
Because of the dark horse Huan Xu, the outcome of the entire competition became confusing. Everyone was curious whether Huan Xu would bring about another miracle.
Some people actually already had guesses in their minds. With the recommendation of Canglan.com, countless people flocked in and countless people clicked to watch. Even though Jinse was at a disadvantage in the first round of voting and her number of fans could not be compared with Director Jin, the public's eyes were sharp. After watching several films in turn, they naturally made their choices in their hearts.
In the face of the huge traffic of Canglan.com, the number of Director Jin's fans is no longer an advantage.
Like a snowball, as more and more viewers clicked to watch, Jinse's votes increased.
The situation of the newcomer list appeared again. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the dark horse Jinse really had the opportunity to continue to create miracles. The question was, in the remaining two days, could he overtake one of the old predecessors, or suppress both of them and reach the top?
At this moment, the first and second Director Jin were also on the phone. They were old rivals for many years, one belonged to Crown and the other to Dingsheng.
Director Ding Sheng, who came in second, was known for his positive attitude. After the call was connected, he sighed to his old rival, "A lot of talented young people have been coming to the industry lately. It's getting more and more lively."
The gold medal director of the Crown across from him was already in a bad mood, and now he got a call from his old rival, which made him even more impatient. He directly mocked him, "You are too old to be able to do it, so you let a young man who just entered the industry crush you. Aren't you ashamed?"
Director Ding Shengjin wasn't in a hurry. He took a leisurely sip of tea before chuckling, "Who hasn't made a fool of themselves? The most important thing in life is to take everything lightly. Besides, even if I become a laughing stock, I still have an old friend like you to keep me company. I'm not alone, right? Hahaha."
Amidst Dingsheng Director Jin's laughter, Huangguan Director Jin angrily hung up the phone and angrily swept everything on the office desk to the floor: "What the hell!"
Glancing at the student next to him, Panstad was furious and angrily chased him away, saying, "It's all your fault! I'm so embarrassed. Get out, get out. I'm annoyed by the sight of you."
The young man was the new director that Crown was about to launch on the New List. But who would have thought that Huan Xu would suddenly appear and the limelight of the entire New List would be snatched away by a small company.
Compared with Fenghuo and Dingsheng, Crown's style of doing things has always been criticized. To put it nicely, it will not suffer any losses, but to put it bluntly, it is arrogant and domineering.
Look, the younger one was beaten. When they heard that Huan Xu was going to participate in the competition, Crown directly sent out the "old one" just to dampen Huan Xu's fighting spirit and vent their anger.
According to the usual routine, after they get out, they may use both rewards and punishments, coercion and inducement. Many small companies with potential that are targeted by Crown will eventually be swallowed up and absorbed.
Therefore, based on the music label, they asked Pansda to come up with a new proposition, which was related to the mother planet. If they wanted to dampen the enthusiasm of the young people, they must crush them in the areas they are good at, so as to smooth out the edges of the young people and wait for their recruitment in the future.
Pansda was forced to do this, but fortunately his level was there. Although time was tight and it was not his area of expertise, he still managed to produce a first-class work. There were some problems, but the merits outweighed the flaws. Pansda was quite satisfied with the finished film. As for Huan Xu, a junior, he didn't take him seriously at all.
No one expected that they would almost fail miserably. It was at this time that Pansda clicked on Huan Xu's work for the first time, and then his face hurt even more.
Director Pan, who is very concerned about his reputation, is unwilling to admit that his skills are inferior to others. So the question is, who is the culprit who caused him to become the control group of young people in the non-professional field? The top management of Crown must be blamed, but Pan cannot challenge the top management of Crown. If we push the blame further, he will be regarded as an incompetent disciple.
If this student hadn't lost, there would be no trouble for him later.
Outside the office, the young man snorted. Why blame him? Thinking of the number of votes for Jinse he had seen earlier, the young man thought maliciously: They were both slapped in the face, so who is more noble? Maybe she can't hold out as long as he does.
The older you get, the wiser you become. Director Pan persisted a little longer than his students, but he didn't have the last laugh.
In the early morning of the seventh day, the number of votes for "Jinse" surpassed Dingsheng's "Summer Concert".
Originally, the difference in ticket sales between the Summer Concert and Goodbye Blue Star was small, but due to Crown's unyielding nature, they preferred to increase costs and deployed a higher level of publicity in the last two days.
However, even so, Jinse kept chasing. At 11 o'clock in the evening of the seventh day, one hour before the voting channel closed, under the attention of everyone, "Jinse" finally reached the top!
However, less than ten minutes after reaching the summit, they were overtaken by Goodbye Blue Star again. Before the Crown staff could breathe a sigh of relief, a few minutes later, Jinse overtook Goodbye Blue Star again.
Huan Xu's major fan groups and Crown's data department were all staring at the real-time data. At this moment, all the votes in their hands and those of their friends and family had been squeezed dry. In the end, who would win or lose was really all up to fate.
In the last hour, Zaijian Lanxing and Jinse took turns to reach the top, and the intense battle situation was obvious.
Finally, at 12:00 on Blue Star time, the voting channel closed.
The team leader in charge of the third department of Crown Data had a grim expression on his face, and the team members were all sighing as they had lost their bonus for this month. However, under the official posts of Huan Xu and Xinghuo, everything was going smoothly.
"Great, my Huan."
"Jinse is awesome, like the everlasting mountains and flowing water, a forever friendship between gentlemen!"
“No.1, hahahahahaha.”
Jinse finally won the first place in this work collection activity with a difference of more than ten votes!
"The chart race is over. I've been pulling all-nighters these past few days, and I can finally have a good rest."
"No, family, this is not the end, it's just the beginning." Behind the screen, Secretary Gao pushed the frame of his glasses, and the lenses reflected a ray of light.
His girlfriend, who had brought him into the game and had become closer to him because of their shared pursuit of their idol, was also watching him. Secretary Gao pushed his glasses up again, and the silver handmade dial on his wrist flashed by. Looking at the date on it, Secretary Gao explained to his girlfriend and the rest of his family who were fighting so hard:
"The real battle has just begun. It's almost the middle of the year, and in a few days, the Blue Awards will also open voting channels. The cold label awards are just an appetizer. Family members, I propose that we work together to vote for Director Huan to the podium of the Blue Carnival Night!"
"Hiss, isn't this progress a bit too fast?"
"Everyone should always have dreams, it's exciting! Follow it, all in."
"It's reasonable to suspect that Director Huan was so diligent before, most likely because he wanted to make a big push in the middle of the year. If he loses, he won't lose anything, and if he wins, he'll make a lot of money."
Although I am worried that the consecutive trilogies will drain Director Huan's inspiration and lead to a lack of dramas in the second half of the year, but in Jinse, what did Lao Zhuang say?
I will serve you to pick up the glory, and I will not hesitate to take this life lightly. (Note)
No matter what happens next year, let’s go crazy this year.
Looking at the comments under Xingbo, some smart people had already guessed that he was aiming for the Canglan Award. Huan Xu smiled.
"I will serve you and bring you glory, and I will not hesitate to live my life lightly." Fans treat him warmly, and all he can do is to repay this expectation with more works.
"Ding" a message reminder appeared on the light computer screen. Huan Xu clicked on the dialog box. In the Xinghuo employee group, the message had already been read 99+ times. Jinse was at the top, and all the employees of Xinghuo were crazy with joy.
An officially recognized award is a valuable reassurance for everyone at Xinghuo. Although Director Feng has left forever and another director named Yin has also jumped ship, they still have Director Feng's son, Huan Xu, and that is enough for Xinghuo.
They also don't have to worry about the company going bankrupt one day and losing their jobs, especially for some of the old employees in the company. Many of them joined Xinghuo when it was still a studio and Feng Manman was still Director Yin.
Later, Feng was gradually promoted to Director Jin, and Spark Studio was upgraded to Spark Entertainment.
There is affection, and even many old employees have some scattered shares of Xinghuo. Whether from the perspective of affection or from the perspective of interests, the better Xinghuo is, the happier they are!
Although the conventional rule is that an entertainment company must have at least one Gold Director to maintain its reputation, Director Huan snatched the first place from the hands of three Gold Directors and more than ten Silver Directors. Isn't such strength enough to prove it?
In front of geniuses, star rating is just a symbol. As long as they are willing, after a few works come out, they can be promoted to silver or gold in minutes!
It was even one level higher than the company founder, Director Feng's Gold rank. He was the undisputed king below the Star Director, and the equally rare Platinum rank...
Qin Dongxiao clenched his palms, exhaled slowly, and decided to adjust his time again. No matter how busy he was, he had to increase his input in acting classes and be ready at all times to keep up with Director Huan.
The actors who work with Director Platinum are not necessarily the best actors or actresses, but if you want to become one, you must prove yourself by starring in Director Platinum’s works!
Whether for Director Huan's appreciation of his kindness or for his own future, he must follow Director Huan's footsteps.
Qin Dongxiao narrowed his eyes, thought of something, and wrote another item on the memo: I also need to study the history course of the mother planet.
Director Huan knows so much about the culture of his home planet, it must be because he loves it, and he also wants to share the same love and topics with Director Huan!
Qin Dongxiao, who had signed up for some cultural courses on his home planet, smiled and quietly tried his best to crush others, hehe.
After the plan ended, Qin Dongxiao switched back to the company group and sent messages with everyone.
Dong Xiao: Congratulations to Director Huan for winning first place.
Qin Dongxiao, who came from a well-off family and had made a lot of money acting recently, simply waved his hand in the group and sent out a big red envelope of 6666, which was randomly distributed according to the number of people in the group.
No matter when, the lucky red envelope event is always an activity that everyone participates in enthusiastically.
Wu Qianying: Thank you Brother Dong, hehe.
Lin Yi: Thank you, Brother Dong. I grabbed 300. This should be my best luck ever, hehe.
Compared with his peers who are selling in double digits, Lin Yi’s 300 is a conspicuous bag.
Ji Xiaowan: It should be stable now.
Bai Yi: +1.
Seeing that the red envelopes were about to be cleared out, the Spark Group was now bustling with activity, almost everyone was there, even Gu Mingrui and Uncle Wang joined in the fun to grab the red envelopes. It seemed that Lin Yi had the best luck.
Unexpectedly, at the very end, Huan Xu, who had just entered the crowd, saw the red envelope and clicked it. The amount was 660, and there was a small crown with the best luck hanging behind it.
Huan Xu raised his eyebrows and sent a message: Thank you, I'm lucky.
The group was quiet for a moment, and then became more lively with the arrival of the protagonist Huan Xu.
Qin Dongxiao was a little annoyed. He had already edited the message, but his screen partner got there first before he could send it.
Wu Qianying: Congratulations to Director Huan for winning the title, 6666, fireworks.
While Qin Dongxiao was sighing, congratulations had already filled the screen. Gu Mingrui, President Wang, all the actors and other employees all rushed to send their congratulations, as if they were afraid that Huan Xu would not see them if they were late.
Huan Xu continued speaking only after the rate of message refresh slowed down: Congratulations to everyone.
Mr. Gu: Xiao Xu is right, congratulations to everyone!
Mr. Wang: When will Xiao Xu come back? How was your field trip? Have you got any new inspiration? Your fans have been urging you to update more, so much so that they have even left a message on my Weibo account, hahahaha.
Huan Xu's fans cast a wide net, and the account of Xinghuo shareholder Wang Shu was also dug out, asking him, the director, to urge Huan Xu to keep up the good work.
Huan Xu set out this time on the pretext of field research, which is also a common situation for most directors. Generally, when they are not in the company, no matter what they are doing, they will be accused of field research.
Uncle Wang was just joking, but Huan Xu thought about it and slowly replied, "There are some clues."
Mr. Tang has agreed to meet tomorrow afternoon, so we have made some progress. Everyone is happy now, so we can make them even happier.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Huan Xu's message, the entire Spark Group fell into silence for half a minute.
Huan Xu looked puzzled: "? He was the one who ended the topic."
As for the others, they had complicated expressions at the moment. Of course they were happy, but they were more frightened than surprised. They were really shocked by Huan Xu's speed.
The two veteran directors were even more doubting their lives, feeling that they had lived in vain for so many years. At this rate, Director Huan might have shot more works in a few years than they had accumulated in their entire lives.
Where can I find justice in this matter?
Fortunately, they are teammates.
The two bronze conductors thought so.
Qin Dongxiao, who had reacted at this time, also tested him in a joking tone: Director Huan, I don’t know what type of film this time is, who the male lead will be, and whether I still have a chance?
Huan Xu: If everything goes well, yes.
Can?
Qin Dongxiao suspected that he had seen it wrong and rubbed his eyes hard, but there was no change.
Qin Dongxiao typed the next line with trembling hands: Is that what I meant? At a loss.jpg.
Huan Xu: Yes, you can play the leading role.
Qin Dongxiao raised his hand and pinched his philtrum, otherwise he was afraid that he would faint from excitement.
Wu Qianying: Director Huan, God Huan, do I still have a chance to work with you and Lao Qin? I don’t need a female lead, just a role will do. Sincere big eyes.Jpg.
She is not greedy, really. Of course, it would be better if she had more roles.
Huan Xu: Come and play the leading role.
Wu Qianying also started pinching her Ren Zhong point, and her face accidentally touched the virtual keyboard in the air, typing down a string of garbled characters.
Wu Qianying:?! @#￥%……
No one expected that this time Huan Xu didn't even need an audition and directly decided on the company's actors to be the male and female protagonists.
A step late, the male and female protagonists were separated, which was a bit regrettable. Fortunately, there were still the second male and female protagonists. After breathing a sigh of relief, Wu Qianying quickly pulled her little sister Ji Xiaowan and urged: "Wanwan, hurry up."
The other actors were also quickly editing their self-introduction quotes. Huan Xu had guessed everyone's reaction at this moment, so he simply stopped keeping them in suspense and said directly in the group:
"Don't worry, everyone can act. We need nine male and female protagonists in total, and we have already prepared the remaining supporting roles for our own families. But please don't spread the news for now. If everything goes well, we will start filming in a low-key manner after a while."
The author has something to say:
