"Huh? Is Kuiguang Group going to organize an award for the entertainment industry?" The boy was a little surprised. "It feels no different from other awards, like best actor, best director, etc."
Boys tend to pay more attention to the entertainment industry and have some understanding of these types of awards.
Girls who don’t pay much attention to the entertainment industry are a little curious: “Is Kuiguang Group going to give out an award? How valuable is it? What is the status of this award in the entertainment industry?”
"The status is basically no status." The boy complained while reading this post, "If you want to give out this kind of award, it doesn't mean that you are qualified to give it out just because you made two good movies and cultivated a first-line star."
The girl was even more puzzled: "Ah? This sounds weird. If a company that makes good movies and cultivates national actresses is not eligible to give out awards, then who is eligible?"
"Well, you must have a certain reputation in the circle and a certain background, or even academic support, so that this award can be promoted and recognized by the public." The boy thought for a moment and summarized it in the simplest language, "In short, everyone must recognize you before you can recognize everyone. This is complementary."
The girl still felt very strange: "Why is the Kuiguang Group, which has produced so many good works, not recognized?"
"Well... how should I put it? Because Kuiguang Group is different from other entertainment companies, they are not really integrated into the entertainment industry." The boy thought for a while and explained. "They don't really need other people's resources, nor do they accept resource exchanges from other companies. They are relatively closed."
"Isn't this better?" The girl was even more puzzled. "They completely excluded their own films from the selection list, and they are relatively independent of other companies. Wouldn't it be more objective to select the best of the year?"
The boy choked up and said, "These entertainment awards are called awards, but in fact they are more like a large-scale allocation of resources... As long as the reputation is not extremely bad, you can create hype on the Internet and praise the director and actors, and there won't be much backlash when the awards are finally given out."
Anyway, anyone who knows a little bit about it knows that this type of award has long lost its original meaning of "reward".
"So, isn't the award from Kuiguang Group more valuable?"
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's valuable or not...it's up to the industry insiders to decide."
The girl shook her head and said, "Okay, I don't understand... But I think based on the past performance of Kuiguang Group, they definitely didn't organize such an award just to attract attention. I don't think it's necessarily like what you said."
"Tsk, the reason why Kuiguang Group can have such a reputation in the entertainment industry is because of its good performance and basically no black spots." The boy was still a little pessimistic. "If they fail once, do you believe that they will be attacked by the entire industry immediately? Even if they don't have black spots, they will find black spots?"
Just as the boy said, many people have also seen the various hidden dangers behind the prosperity of Kuiguang Group and talked about them in the comment section.
If you don't integrate into the circle, no matter how good your grades are, at most you won't be scolded, but it will be difficult to get recognition.
However, if the performance declines, or even if a film is just a mediocre one, it is likely to be attacked by everyone.
Although the girl didn't understand the entertainment industry, she did know a little about other things. She said unconvincedly, "That may not be the case. Didn't Chengyu Media come from the same background as Kuiguang Group? What effect can other people's suppression have?"
"In addition, Kuiguang Group now has a large social app of its own, with daily active users increasing all the time, and has the potential to become the third largest social platform in China... The most important thing is that they have the power to rate the app."
"So what if other companies or other media don't approve? It won't affect Kuiguang Group. Their business scope is too broad."
This is different from other social platforms which provide more abstract evaluations of a work or an actor.
The Leopard app can most intuitively reflect "public opinion" in the form of scores.
“That makes sense…” The boy nodded and continued to scroll down the news. “But we still have to wait and see what happens next… Wait, why do they have a Golden Mop Award?!”
The girl suddenly became interested when she heard this strange name: "What is this Golden Mop Award for?"
The boy was flipping through the news and slowed down his speech: "The Golden Mop Award is intended to criticize certain films in the film industry that are expensive but of very poor quality from a professional standpoint and an independent identity, in order to spur the progress of the domestic film industry. Every winner should consider it a shame to receive this award... shame, huh?!"
After reading the first half of this post, even boys who are quite familiar with the entertainment industry were stunned.
It would be fine if they gave out the best award, but they actually gave out the worst award?
Giving out the best award is already a very offensive thing, not to mention the worst award... Is this an attempt to declare war on the entire entertainment industry? A movie involves the film production company, various directors, actors, screenwriters... The word "worst" may seem light, but the number of people it hurts is hard to count! It offends a whole group of people.
“Sure, awesome.” The girl couldn’t help but put down her chopsticks and clapped her hands. “I’ve suddenly become a fan of this company, hahahaha!”
"Look, there's actually a voting session here..." The boy continued to scroll down and found another surprise, "The selection committee has sent out the preliminary list, so we can also vote for the worst of the year!"
"Boy, they are really brave."
"Let me see what's on the list... 'Hardcore', 'Fortress of Devil City', 'Hour of Love', damn, they are all heavyweights. For a moment, I don't know which one to choose."
"By the way, the theme song of 'A Little Thing Called Light' was made by Kuiguang Group, right? If they put this movie on it, won't it have a negative impact on their company's reputation?"
"This is called fairness and justice! Anyway, I voted for "Fortress of Devil" this time. This movie is not only bad, it is disgusting."
“I think “A Little Thing Called First Love” is a bit rubbish. It gives me the feeling that a bunch of immature people are playing house…”
"You know what, there are so many good movies this year, I didn't realize there were so many bad movies!"
"This is how a movie year goes. There are a lot of good movies, but there are also a lot of bad movies... Anyway, we are here to watch the fun, and watching the fun is no big deal."
“…”
…
Those who watch the fun don't mind the trouble, but those who are being watched cannot agree with this idea.
At this moment, in a meeting room of Yuefu Group, the faces of the leaders working there all looked frighteningly dark.
"Can anyone tell me what this means?!"
"Worst of the year? Golden Mop? We're on the list?"
"No, what does Kuiguang Group mean? We haven't provoked them for a while, right? Why are they still holding on to us?"
"If you really think we are soft persimmons that can be easily bullied, then wait for our counterattack."
"You just made two good movies. You don't really think you are the boss of the entertainment industry, do you?"
"He's so arrogant that he even dares to select the best and the worst... Yang Ruoqian is so high-ranking that he has the right to make the evaluation."
In the conference room, almost everyone started to curse Kui Guang and even Yang Ruoqian himself.
On the one hand, the two sides have deep-seated grievances, and on the other hand... "The Fortress of the Demon City" is indeed a pain that the Yuefu Group never wants to mention.
Now that the matter is almost over, people are about to completely forget about this rubbish movie, but Kuiguang Group took advantage of the situation and organized some kind of worst film award, putting "Fortress of Devil City" under the spotlight again to be whipped.
When "Fortress of Devil City" was released before, although it was also criticized by a lot of people, most of the criticism came from various ups, film critics, etc. in the society.
No celebrity or company came out and pointed fingers at Yuefu Group and said that the film they made was garbage.
After all, although Yuefu has not been doing well in recent years and has not produced any hit products, it is still a giant in the entertainment industry.
With so many resources at hand, who knows if there will be a time to cooperate with each other or even ask others to do things for you in the future? Save some face so that we can meet again in the future.
If we jump out and curse directly, it will be equivalent to cutting off all the resources of Yuefu Group, and there will be no possibility of cooperation between the two parties.
This is equivalent to going against money - after all, Yuefu did not force others to express their opinions and must praise how well "The Fortress of Demon City" was filmed.
Just keep silent and let things cool down and pass quickly.
The leader sitting at the head of the conference table sneered: "So, all you can do is curse here. Can you come up with something practical?"
"Sue them and say they violated our reputation."
"Going to court? Do you think it will be of any practical use?" Another leader turned his head away with a smile, "Even if we win the lawsuit, wouldn't it be like telling the whole world that we care about this Golden Mop Award? Have we admitted that this Golden Mop Award will have a great impact on us?"
"And this is the case where we won the lawsuit... If we lose, won't we become a laughing stock in the entire entertainment industry?"
"So what should we do? Should we just accept it?"
"If we admit it this time, next time the Kuiguang Group will dare to jump directly on our heads and shit on us, and even ask us for toilet paper. Do you believe it?!"
"It's as if the Kuiguang Group didn't shit on our heads..."
"Stop making sarcastic remarks and think about the solution. Our ban will definitely not work on them."
"I think... why don't we just give in and find a way to reconcile with them? There's really no need to keep fighting like this. It won't benefit us at all."
"Give in? If we give in this time, will anyone take our words seriously in the future?"
"After we surrender to the Kuiguang Group, shouldn't we just deal with a few of the other disobedient people right away? I still don't understand why our relationship with them has become so strained."
"If the good-for-nothings at that time had been like Chengyu Media and had cooperated well with Kuiguang Group when it was still weak, we would be the ones making a lot of money today. Instead of being like we are now, embarrassed and unable to make money, and even being put on the worst list and still feeling incompetent and furious."
"I agree. Let's send a signal over there and ask Kuiguang Group to take our movie off the list. They want investment, they want resources... everything is easy to talk about. We are all in the same circle making money, so it's better to resolve a feud than to create one."
"Is it too late to say this now? Haven't you seen the public opinion out there? How many people are saying that they will surpass us in a few years and take over our position in the entertainment industry."
Upon hearing this, a leader immediately retorted, "Who said we really reconciled with them? We are just trying to avoid the spotlight for now, understand? The Kuiguang Group is very popular right now, and there is nothing to discredit. It is irrational to fight hard and it is easy to be drowned by public opinion. But can they guarantee that they will not make a mistake once? As long as they make a mistake once, it is our chance to counterattack."
"That's right... Then let them show off for a while."
"Then it's decided. I'll send someone to call them now to discuss the next steps of cooperation and conditions."
…
"Boss Yang, there is something that you need to decide personally."
In the president's office of Kuiguang Group, Qi Mu hurried over and knocked on the door of Yang Ruoqian's office.
Yang Ruoqian was participating in the scoring on the Leopard platform at this time, and asked casually: "What's the matter?"
Qi Mu walked into the office, put a shorthand notebook on Yang Ruoqian's desk, and said, "Boss Yang, we just received a call from Yuefu Group. They want to resolve the conflict with us."
"To resolve the conflict?" Mr. Yang, who had just cast a precious vote for "Fortress of the Magic City", looked at the secretary with amusement, "You just want us to take their movie off the Golden Mop Award nomination list, right?"
Yang Ruoqian no longer had any expectations for Yuefu Group - he only knew one thing, that it would be right to go against whatever Yuefu Group proposed.
Qi Mu nodded: "They said that if we can remove "Magic City Fortress" from the list, they are willing to exchange a lot of resources in the entertainment industry with us... They are willing to give Shang Qianyu a starring role in the new movie, and they are even willing to help us with the promotion of "The Richest Man in Jinhai City."
Mr. Yang, who was on high alert, was furious: "That's Yuefu Group, people are so evil! Their new movie must be terrible, and they want to use it to discredit Xiaoshang! Their publicity must be weird, and they want to discredit our movie!"
"No, I won't agree to this. Our Kuiguang Group is not easy to bully!"
"If he dares to promote our movie, we will sue them for copyright infringement!"
Qi Mu, who was about to elaborate on the sincerity of Yuefu Group, swallowed all his words and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Yang... I will reject them right away."
