Chapter 375: All Failed!

When Yang Huan turned around, he saw a middle-aged man wearing gentle glasses walking past him.

This man is very thin, with a pointed face and monkey-like appearance, but his tone of voice is very harsh, sarcastic, and even a little mean.

"What's 33 Days of Broken Love? It's lowbrow, it's vulgar, it's filmed like that, it's so contrived and hypocritical, it makes people want to vomit, the format is not a movie at all, it's more like a TV series"

"So what if the box office is good? We who make movies have to have some dignity and cannot compromise with business and capital. Don't make a mess of it. If all of them come in, it will destroy the art of film."

"If a movie like this wins an award, what hope is there for Chinese films?"

The person walked further and further away, but the sound continued to come.

Yang Huan frowned, "Who is this guy?"

Wang Jing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know him at all.

On the contrary, Zhang Ning thought about it and remembered it.

"He seems to be a film critic for a well-known domestic film magazine. He's quite famous."

Yang Huan was delighted when he heard this. "From the tone of his voice, he speaks as if he represents art. Does he deserve it?"

Zhang Ning was also helpless, "He has the right to vote."

"So what?" Yang Huan was unhappy. Could it be that these people who always talk about art and make accusations have become mainstream?

"It's better not to give me the chance, otherwise I will have a good argument with him to see what kind of art he represents."

Although the movie was not made by myself, it was invested by myself and can be considered as my own child.

When encountering such a thing, Yang Huan firmly supports his children.

"Yoona, I support you. Win the Best Actress award and make him mad."

After hearing this, Lin Yoona smiled sweetly but did not express her opinion.

Her competitors are quite strong this time, and this is her first time making a movie, so she is definitely not qualified to win an award.

Just at this moment, Xu Ke received a call from Chen Kexin, greeted him from a distance, and walked over.

As soon as he heard that Yang Huan wanted to invest in his movie, Xu Ke immediately agreed.

Although with his fame and status, he does not need to worry about investment matters, but everyone in the circle knows that this young master Yang Huan is famous for his generosity and will not interfere in the filming of the movie. He is definitely a model of a good Chinese boss.

As for the Ghost Blows Out the Light mentioned by Yang Huan, Xu Ke agreed immediately.

Seeing that he was so straightforward, Yang Huan gave him plenty of opportunities to express himself freely, even without setting a budget.

This time Xu Ke was really dumbfounded.

It’s already surprising enough that a movie called China’s Expeditionary Force has no budget cap, and now there’s another movie called Ghost Blows Out the Light?

But this also made everyone see that Master Huan's goals and ambitions are not in the domestic film market.

Among domestic directors, Xu Ke is well-known for his technology control. After negotiating the investment with Yang Huan, he actually asked about the virtual reality helmet, saying that he wanted to see it for himself.

"Want to see it?" Yang Huan laughed, "That's definitely no problem. We have already made the second generation of products."

"Already the second generation?" Xu Ke was shocked.

It seems that he feels that he is out of date.

"Before you, only Deng Huatao had contact with it, so you are not too late."

Yang Huan smiled and comforted him, and also talked about his company's ideas and thoughts on virtual reality helmets.

After acquiring several companies, WeChat Research Institute now has both virtual reality and augmented reality technologies, and they are both relatively mature, even cross-integrated in many fields.

But the application scenarios of the two technologies are different.

As the name suggests, virtual reality is the creation of a virtual world that is completely isolated from the real world. This technology is more used in games, movies and other fields to give the wearer an immersive feeling.

Augmented reality, on the other hand, uses virtual reality technology to create some virtual scenes and integrate them into the real world, which can be regarded as a supplement to the real world.

Although the outside world is now talking about Google Glass in a very magical way, Zhuang Zicheng and others are not optimistic about Google Glass at all.

Firstly, the effect is too poor. Secondly, it is more like a monitor hanging on the face. It can neither achieve immersive virtual reality nor integrate into the real world. It seems out of place and very inconvenient.

Currently, WeChat Research Institute is working on virtual reality helmets and augmented reality glasses.

The former has already reached the second generation and will launch a developer version this year, while the latter has also made significant progress.

After all, Yang Huan invested so much money and acquired so many companies. It would be unreasonable if there was no progress.

Since Xu Ke was interested in virtual reality technology, and Yang Huan wanted to find someone to make a demonstration film for a virtual reality helmet, Yu Cui went directly to Xu Ke.

The latter agreed on the spot and even couldn't wait to discuss the details of the presentation film with Yang Huan.

Yang Huan could understand Xu Ke's feelings. Virtual reality technology can definitely greatly enhance the viewing experience and film effects.

In his previous life, Christopher Nolan was not very interested in 3D, but he highly praised virtual reality technology.

Think this will exceed inax

While the two were chatting, melodious music sounded at the scene.

"Master Huan, let's start," Zhang Ning reminded from the side.

As soon as the music started, the originally bustling theater suddenly became quiet.

Yang Huan, Zhang Ning and Lin Yuner all found the crew of Love Is Not Blind, but unexpectedly, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang and others were also there, and the place suddenly became lively again.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Hundred Flowers Awards. The theme is to celebrate the 50th anniversary, and many domestic movie stars and singers have been invited to perform. What is different from previous film festivals is that this time the Hundred Flowers Awards has invited 101 judges from across the country to vote on the spot according to the table, and the event will be broadcast live on TV to show fairness.

Yang Huan had never heard of this segment before and was a little surprised.

No wonder that guy just now said that he would rather die than vote for "33 Days of Broken Love".

That's what it said.

As soon as the opening performance ended, two hosts, a man and a woman, came up.

The first award presented was the Best Newcomer Award.

There are quite a few nominated, including the actor who played the child Fang Deng in Aftershock, and the second-in-command in Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate directed by Xu Ke.

Yang Huan was not very familiar with these people.

But it seems that many of them are not the protagonists, not even supporting roles.

"It seems that Yoona has definitely won this award"

At least, Yoona is the heroine, right?

"It hasn't been decided yet." Zhang Ning gave Yang Huan a displeased look.

This is not yet certain, who knows?

"Don't tell me, it must be Yoona"

Yang Huan thought, it's impossible that the award is not given to the protagonist, but to some minor roles instead?

"Yun'er, when you go upstairs later, remember to say what I say. This is a popular thing in our country."

After hearing this, Lin Yuner nodded seriously.

"Thank you CC, thank you Hundred Flowers Awards organizers and judges, thank you Young Master Huan, thank you Sister Zhang Ning, thank you..."

Before Yang Huan finished speaking, people around him burst into laughter.

Isn’t this too funny?

Is this necessary?

It was even funnier when I saw Lin Yuna listening so seriously.

Wait, if she really says this when she goes on stage to receive the award, wouldn't the whole audience burst into laughter?

"How about this, Master Huan? If we win the Best Picture award, you will go up to receive the award. What do you think?"

Deng Huatao, who was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, started to make a fuss.

When Yang Huan heard this, he was dumbfounded.

But before he expressed his opinion, everyone else started to make a fuss.

“I think it’s OK”

"I think so too. Aren't there investors who will receive the Best Picture award?"

"Okay, let's do this. If we win the Best Picture award, Young Master Huan will go and claim it."

“Yes, that’s what we decided.”

Yang Huan was stunned. "Hey, you bastards, what the hell did you decide? Did you ask me?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

"But, think about it carefully. Just now, there was a guy who said he wouldn't vote for us. If we really win the Best Picture, I would go up and scold him."

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter again.

It's not easy to win the Best Picture award.

The Best Picture nominees are packed with strong contenders.

Including films like Du Lala, The Revolution of 1911, The Founding of a Party, Aftershock, etc., Love Is Not Blind has no chance.

Of course, the Hundred Flowers Award is an award for audience reputation, and Love Is Not Blind has a pretty good audience reputation.

In other words, there is a chance

"Okay, if it really wins the Best Picture, I'll go up and accept the award."

Yang Huan Yucui also risked his life to win the most important award

Isn't it just about showing your face?

We are a handsome young man, are you afraid of being on camera?

But the problem is that there are many people who want to go on stage to receive the award, but there is only one winner.

When the voting results for the Best Newcomer Award came out, Yang Huan and others were dumbfounded.

It's not Lin Yuna

Instead, the Best Newcomer Award was given to Fang Deng from Aftershock

This time, not only Yoona was disappointed, but even Yang Huan was disappointed.

Lim Yoona was nominated for two awards, Best Newcomer and Best Actress.

She is Korean and has little hope of winning the Best Actress award, so everyone is confident that she will win the Best Newcomer award.

But now, I didn't get it.

“It’s not fair. It’s so unfair.”

"Isn't it? Yoona's performance was so wonderful, is it not as good as Xiao Fangdeng?"

“This award is too biased.”

But something even more difficult for everyone to accept happened.

In addition to not winning the Best Newcomer Award, the crew of Love Is Not Blind also missed out on the Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Screenwriter awards, which made everyone in the crew feel depressed.

Strictly speaking, among all the nominated awards, the most secure one is the Best Screenplay Award.

Love Is Not Blind won its reputation with its excellent script. Before the award ceremony, everyone thought that the Best Screenplay Award should be a sure win, but who would have thought that it didn't win it.

The Best Screenplay Award went to Aftershock.

Could it be that the judges really disliked Love Is Not Blind?

Yang Huan also felt very depressed.

With such high box office and good reputation, why is it that no one appreciates it?

Isn’t it said that the selection is based on the audience’s reputation?

Originally, Love Is Not Blind was a low-budget movie with low investment and low expectations for awards.

After all, the competitors are too strong.

Therefore, before the award ceremony, everyone set their sights on the most promising newcomer award and screenwriter award.

But who could have thought that they all failed

"It's over. It looks like this time we're going to make a lot of noise but get little results, or even return empty-handed."

"What a tragedy. I used to see this kind of tragedy every time I watched an award ceremony. I never thought it would happen to us too."

"Who says it's not?"

"These judges, in my opinion, are biased against us"

It can be heard that everyone in the crew has strong opinions.

"Forget it. We may not win this time, but we'll have another chance in the future. Don't take it to heart. Who knows, we might win the Best Picture award soon?"

Director Deng Huatao forced himself to cheer up and made jokes.

But this joke is not funny at all.

How can it win the Best Picture award when it hasn’t won any other awards?

Even Deng Huatao himself sounded a little unwilling.

But the awards ceremony must go on.

The next award is Best Actress.
