Chapter 587 Exposed! 【1st update】
The IFF Awards not only represents that Chuguang Media can officially gain a foothold in the international arena, but also represents a new milestone in the Chinese film industry.
It is of great significance.
This is also the result of the joint efforts of the entire company.
But it was wiped out so easily.
The female secretary frowned: "Boss, even if they bribed the judges, we have no evidence. This kind of award without public selection and voting is not absolutely fair."
The judges also have their own preferences.
In the last IFF Awards, there were two films that had the potential to win the awards, but in the end the judges preferred the first film.
At this point, the female secretary hesitated: "Maybe they didn't bribe them, and this is the result."
Ying Zijin didn't raise his head, his tone remained calm: "You'll know after you take a look."
The female secretary was stunned.
have a look?
What do you think?
Ying Zijin called up a box on her phone and was about to enter the program when a WeChat message came first.
【Fu Yunshen】：[video.mov]
【Fu Yunshen】：[recording.mp3]
[Fu Yunshen]: I give it to you.
Fu Yunshen's computer skills have never been weaker than Qin Lingyan, the boss of the hacker alliance.
Otherwise, with IBI's ability to attract hatred, the firewall would have been breached long ago.
Ying Zijin opened the video and recording, and after watching them, his eyes turned slightly cold.
It doesn’t matter even if the judges voted for “Lost Memories.”
But now, it is clearly a direct change.
At this time, news about Fu Yunshen came again.
This time it's voice.
The voice was gentle and slow, with a smile.
"Shh, for a moment, look at the screen."
Ying Zijin raised his eyebrows slightly and returned his gaze to the stage.
Now, the awards ceremony has come to the Best Director award.
"The winner of the Best Director Award is Dinah Pazzi, the director of Lost Memories!" the host said, "Congratulations to our Miss Dinah. It's her first time directing a movie, and she has achieved such a high level of success. It's amazing."
Dinah lifted her skirt and walked gracefully onto the stage to receive the award.
"Oh, the last award is the much anticipated Best Film Award. The movie that won the Best Film Award this time is——"
"'Lost Memories'! Congratulations!" The host was the first to applaud. "The Best Film Award will be presented by our chief judge, Mr. David."
David straightened his clothes and smiled: "It is my honor to stand here on behalf of the jury and say a few words to everyone."
He held the microphone and said: "After so many years at IFF, this is my first time to serve as the chief jury. I have watched many films, and I have to admit that none of the films selected this time are bad, they are all very good."
“If there are ten first prizes, you all should be selected.”
"Finally, after some discussion, we chose Lost Memories," David said. "Some people may ask why New Life didn't even win a first prize."
"It's like this. We discussed it and felt that in 'New Life', the male lead's acting was a little too strong when he played three different roles, and it was inferior to the others. And..."
[Oh, never mind. It’s enough to win a Best Screenplay Award. At least it’s the first award for China. 】
[Brother, don’t be discouraged, let’s fight again next year!] 】
What does this chief judge mean? Isn't this encouragement or complete derogation? ? ? 】
[So, you guys praise Shang Yaozhi's acting skills every day, but he is still ridiculed internationally and cannot leave the country. Hahahaha, you deserve it. 】
While David was still praising "Lost Memories" and suppressing "Rebirth", the picture on the big screen changed.
The audience was stunned.
The judges in the judges' booth also sat up straight, staring at the big screen in astonishment.
Isn't this in their meeting room?
The surveillance video starts playing.
A formal conversation between a judge and David.
——But didn’t you say before that “New Life” was great?
——Yes, it is amazing, but look at who filmed “Lost Memories”? Dinah Pazzi, who among us has the guts to offend the Pazzi family? Don’t you want to live?
——What award is there nowadays that doesn’t involve shady dealings? That’s it.
There was silence in the audience, and the only voice in the entire venue was David's.
One sentence, clearly heard by everyone -
"And if we don't tell anyone, who will know?"
The agent looked up suddenly: "Yaozhi!"
It turned out that there was no problem with Shang Yaozhi's acting skills, but that the selection was unfair in the first place.
David gave the award that originally belonged to Shang Yaozhi and "New Life" to "Lost Memories"!
Shang Yaozhi's eyes darkened, but he slowly let out a sigh of relief. He smiled again: "This is pretty good. I have confidence in myself again."
The agent moved his lips and said, "Yaozhi, you have always been very good. Don't lose confidence in yourself."
It would be difficult for anyone to have a positive attitude if they were belittled like this in public at such an international awards ceremony.
Shang Yaozhi smiled.
There is only one person who can and dares to do such a thing, right?
Shang Yaozhi looked at the girl sitting in the VIP seat and fell into deep thought.
On the stage, David was stunned and couldn't believe it.
How come the surveillance video from their conference room appeared here?
And, this is not the end.
After the video is played, it is followed by an audio recording.
As soon as David heard it, he knew it was the same phone call he had made with Dina yesterday, and cold sweat broke out on his body.
At the side, Dina's face suddenly darkened.
Between winning an award and having face, the latter is naturally more important.
Of course, it’s best to have both.
Dina had never considered that her deal with David would be exposed.
Who would know such a thing?
Moreover, who could have hacked into her phone and stolen her call information and recordings after knowing this?
It's simply like risking one's life.
More and more eyes were gathered here, especially the many noble ladies at the scene, all from the upper class society of Europe.
They were whispering, their eyes fixed on Dinah.
Dina's face turned pale and extreme embarrassment surged into her heart.
She stood up immediately, turned around and walked outside.
I don't want to stay even a second longer.
Dinah was a lady from the Pazzi family, and the reporters didn't dare to stop her.
"Turn it off!" David held the intercom and yelled to the backstage, "Turn it off! How do you do things?"
The staff in the background were sweating and panicking: "Sorry, Mr. David, this is no longer under our control. We can't turn it off."
The sound continues.
“Yes, Miss Dina, don’t worry, Chuguang Media is just a small company. They dare not say anything, and they will not think of me giving their award to you.”
This time, the audience watching the scene were completely blown away.
Netizens in China were also furious about the live broadcast.
[That’s it! How dare you belittle Shang Yaozhi’s acting skills? Ning worthy? 】
[Awesome, awesome! Chuguang Media is just a small workshop, so you can bully it at will, right? If the movie "The New Life" was produced by Universal Pictures, the IFF jury would not dare to say a word [smile]. 】
[The Pazzi family is great and has such a long reach, but I'm sorry, you can't interfere in China's affairs. 】
[I remember that IFF was invested by the Laurent family, right? Could it be that these big families in Continent O are all in the same group and like to bully others so much? 】
Few people in the outside world know that the Pazzi family and the Laurent family are enemies.
After all, ever since Caesar Laurent awakened, the Laurent family has been focusing on development and, on the surface, has kept its distance from the Pazzi family.
Those who have studied that period of history in Europe have never connected the situation of several centuries ago with the present situation.
The audience below was talking about it, and reporters from various countries were holding cameras and pressing the shutter button continuously.
David's embarrassment, helplessness and rage were all captured in the photo.
This is a really big headline.
The news of the fraud in the IFF Awards spread throughout the international film and television industry that very evening, not even the next day.
This is a well-known award, and even people who don’t pay attention to movies have heard of it.
David was sweating profusely.
He roared and asked the backstage to cut off the power, and the picture on the big screen finally disappeared.
Before David could breathe a sigh of relief, someone walked up to the podium.
The reporters were able to recognize that this was the Chinese actress, Xie Manyu, who had just received the Best Actress Award.
Xie Manyu is also the first Chinese to win the award.
However, the film was produced by Universal Pictures and is not counted as Chinese films.
"Sorry, I don't accept this award." Xie Manyu stuffed the trophy directly into David's arms and smiled slightly, "Because I doubt your fairness. I'm afraid that this award is also written on my name because you are afraid of Universal Pictures."
"If I accept it, my behavior will also be inappropriate. I hope it is really my acting skills that deserve this award."
This sentence made the judges in the judges' seats unable to sit still.
One of the judges stood up and took two steps forward: "Ms. Xie, we can all guarantee that your award is absolutely legitimate. We have carefully discussed the role you are playing."
In comparison, Matt Bilic is embarrassing.
He was still holding the Academy Award trophy in his hand. When he turned around, his eyes met Shang Yaozhi's.
Shang Yaozhi just sat there quietly without any complaints.
This award is very popular with Matt Bilic.
Xie Manyu ignored the judges, walked off the stage, and walked to the girl: "Boss."
Ying Zijin looked at her and said, "That prize is yours."
"It's okay. I don't want it." Xie Manyu shrugged. "I came from Chuguang Media. We all rise and fall together. Anyway, I don't care much about awards."
As she spoke, she bent down and said, "Boss, you saved my life. In this kind of thing, I will only stand on your side."
Ying Zijin's expression paused.
Xie Manyu turned around and said, "Xiao Shang, you are still young. It doesn't matter if you don't win the Academy Award this year."
Shang Yaozhi also smiled: "Teacher Xie is right."
At least now he could be sure that there was nothing wrong with his acting.
I can let it go.
It really doesn’t matter whether you win the award or not.
The scene was in complete chaos.
A few brave reporters had already run onto the stage carrying their equipment, and the microphones were handed to David.
"Mr. David, you cheated openly. Are you such a person who is afraid of power?"
"Mr. David, IFF has lost its original impartiality. What will happen if no film companies send films to IFF in the future?"
David's face looked so ugly that water seemed to drip out of it, and his teeth were chattering.
The IFF Awards has a history of more than 100 years and is held annually for more than 100 times.
There have been shady dealings in the past, and the judges were all aware of it.
That's why when David took office this time, he gave all the important awards of "The New Life" to "Lost Memories".
But this was the only time that the truth was revealed before the award ceremony was over.
How did it break out?
Who has the courage? !
David still hasn't figured it out.
But no matter what, the 123rd IFF Awards has become a joke.
The audience had already dispersed.
The trophy that Xie Manyu placed with the judges seemed to be mocking something.
Claire was still slumped in the ottoman.
He looked up blankly, looking at the girl's cold face, his complexion turning paler little by little.
Times Media has trained many international film actors and actresses. Although these people have left Times Media to start their own businesses, they will come back to help if the company has any problems.
But this time, Times Media also offended the movie stars it had cultivated.
If the IFF Awards can be faked, once it is exposed, it will be ridiculed by the public. Who would dare to star in a Time Media movie again?
But how did it break out?
Ying Zijin raised her eyes and said calmly: "I told you, this is just the beginning."
Originally, she had a more detailed plan for Times Media.
It's not useful now.
David finally got rid of the reporters.
He quickly stepped off the stage, looked at the girl, and sneered, "Don't even think about leaving Florence safely!"
A Chinese entertainment company has so openly embarrassed the Laurent family. Can the Laurent family let them go?
Today is March 24th, Emperor Ying’s birthday.
I wanted to hold an event, but I got sick and I don't even have the strength to walk anymore.
I wish my third daughter a happy birthday OvO
Those who have tickets, please vote for Ying Huang~~
