Chapter 484 The affirmation from the boss(1/2)
In the conference room, everyone's expressions became uglier than the last, especially the four members of this year's jury, Chen Chong, Guan Jinpeng, Chen Bowen, and Huang Wenyin.
As soon as the awards were announced, some candidates left the scene, and then there was an uproar of 16 nominees from the three major production groups abstaining.
One by one, one by one, they are all deliberate slaps in the face.
What's even more horrifying is that the incident actually triggered dissatisfaction among the entire domestic entertainment industry, and celebrity artist groups came forward to speak out.
It’s gone!
In the conference room, these four words appeared in the minds of all the executive members at the same time.
boom..
Just when everyone was about to break the silence and think of ways to make amends, a harsh sound suddenly sounded in the conference room.
Everyone looked around after hearing the sound, and saw Li Hang, director of the Film Foundation, sitting in the center seat, slapping his palm on the conference table and angrily cursing: "How brave, who do they think they are, a few mainland stars?" , several crew members dare not take it seriously!"
"They still want to ban us. It must be Hengyu Media. It's ridiculous. How can an entertainment company have the capital to be so arrogant?"
Li Hang became angrier and more excited as he spoke, and finally stood up, waving his arms and shouting: "As the most noble film award in the Chinese film industry, we will never be threatened by anyone.
Since they want to ban us from the Golden Horse Awards, well, let’s see who bans whom first and let me know. All celebrities who speak out in this incident will be included in the Golden Horse Awards blacklist from now on and will not be invited. List.
In addition, contact the major luxury brands that are close to our Taiwanese entertainment industry and ban some of the most popular celebrity advertising endorsements."
Li Hang's words made the eyes of everyone present jump.
Some people agreed and showed excitement, while others were silent, silently complaining about idiots in their hearts.
A more consistent and flattering voice said: "Director Li is right, just compete with them to see who has more energy. Let's ban these celebrities first, starting with the movies and TV series produced by artists under Hengyu Media."
The one who spoke was Chen Bowen, who spoke with bared teeth and claws.
As early as September, this year's Golden Horse Decision Jury let out a rumor and asked someone to send a message to Hengyu Media, inviting "I'm Not the God of Medicine" to participate in this year's Golden Horse Awards, and vaguely revealed that it would definitely win the award.
The results were good, more than a month had passed, and until the end of October when the Golden Horse Awards announced the award nominations, they had not seen "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Fang Ziheng refused to go and did not participate in "I'm Not the God of Medicine", which led to the failure of the Golden Horse Awards' popularity plan.
In desperation, the jury decided to focus on "Xiu Chun Knife 2". The combined reputations of Hao Yi, Deng Chao and Huang Xiaoming are also very high.
Later, the jury felt that it was not safe to select only one movie, so they focused on Gong Huang.
That’s right, the Golden Horse Awards didn’t consider casting Gong Huang before. After all, the director of “The Return” is Lao Mouzi!
"Return", a literary film filmed by Lao Mouzi while he was preparing for "Warring States", was mainly used to ease the relationship between him and Emperor Gong.
Lao Mouzi is an absolute star in the film industry. No matter how proud the Golden Horse Award is, you still have to consider the consequences of offending him.
The strange thing is that, be it "Return" or "Warring States", not a single Taiwanese artist starred in either movie.
When I look at the Golden Horse Awards, since you, Lao Mouzi, didn’t give me face first, don’t blame them for being rude.
But Gong Huang has not won the Golden Horse Award for many years, and he has always been dissatisfied with the behavior of some people in Taiwan.
This time, the main reason was that the Golden Horse Awards said they would give her a Best Actress Award.
Gong Huang thought that if she really could win the award, she would be able to increase the popularity of "Warring States". After all, she was the leading female lead in "Warring States".
Da Tiantian is the second female lead.
So after discussing with Lao Mouzi, Gong Huang flew to Taiwan Province to show off the style of an international superstar on the red carpet of the Golden Horse Awards.
In the media reports in the past two days, Gong Huang was the most talked about, and he was the best candidate to be the best actress.
Fang Ziheng did not know these details and had no need to know the inside story.
Just do it and it’s done!
In fact, since the establishment of Hengyu Media, due to his indifferent attitude, almost none of its artists have gone to Taiwan, and they have rarely participated in film and television productions invested by capital from Taiwan.
Only the variety show department will invite artists from Taiwan to participate in the recording of the variety shows produced every year from time to time.
Usually only female stars are invited, such as Running Man, and Sister Zhilin, Guo Caini, Zhang Junning and others are allowed to crawl around in the mire in cool clothes. It is a very eye-catching scene.
In "Extreme Challenge", Luo Pao was not invited in this life, but Sha Yi was asked to take over.
Generally speaking, Hengyu Media's approach of sending Taiwan Entertainment to Taiwan Entertainment has been noticed by Taiwan Entertainment including the Golden Horse Awards.
The fact that Emperor Gong was tricked was just a trigger. Even if this incident hadn't happened, Fang Ziheng would have found another opportunity to clean up Taiwan Entertainment.
With his current status, it is no problem to open fire in the entertainment industry and serve as one of the arbiters.
It is worth mentioning that because the three shareholders of Hengyu, Tengxun, and Alibaba increased their holdings in Weibo in advance, it further weakened Taiwan Entertainment’s right to speak on Weibo, resulting in the deletion of a celebrity in the past few days. The situation of vocalization.
Unlike in the previous life, Taiwan Entertainment's power on Weibo was so bold that it even dared to delete Ziguangge and Tuantuan's Weibo.
Cao Guowei, chairman of Weibo, is very clear about his positioning and maintains fairness and openness, making Weibo the largest and most harmonious social platform and online publicity platform in China.
In the conference room, Hong Kong directors Chen Kexin and Feng Delun were watching the movie and quietly complained about another decision judge, Guo Tianwang.
King Guo Tianwang did not attend today's meeting because he had something to do!
Soon, the Golden Horse Awards Executive Committee made a decision and solemnly issued a notice to the big stars in domestic entertainment.
Within a three-day period, everyone will still be friends if they delete their Weibo posts. Any celebrity who refuses to delete their posts will be blacklisted in the future.
Hengyu Media was not mentioned in the notice, but Hengyu's artists Liu Qianqian, Damimi, Jiang Shuying, and Wang Ou all received news of contract termination from certain Taiwanese-owned labels.
This means that they have been removed from advertising and endorsements by these brands.
Sanqingshan Film and Television Base.
Fang Ziheng was browsing the topics discussed by netizens, wondering whether he would really block the Golden Horse Awards.
Or are you just pretending to say a few words?
Buzz buzz...
The phone rang, it was a call from the brokerage company Chang Jihong.
"Chairman, the Golden Horse Awards are about to start!"
"It's pretty fast. An artist from our group won the bid and was withdrawn from endorsement by a Taiwanese label!"
"Yes, Chairman, you are really amazing."
On the other end of the phone, Chang Jihong, who was a little panicked at first, felt relieved when he heard this and flattered him.
"It's okay. Netizens are forgetful, and so are these labels. Now that the Golden Horse Awards have spoken, Taiwanese labels like them have to give some respect. If they don't seek endorsements from our artists this year, they can do so next year!"
Fang Ziheng said with a leisurely smile, not worried at all about the group's artists being blocked by so-called endorsements.
how to say!
Many of the Greater China executives of Taiwan-funded labels and international brands are from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they can indeed influence the endorsements of celebrity artists.
But so what, domestic entertainment has long been on the rise, and the popularity of mainland artists has long ceased to belong to those outdated Taiwanese and Hong Kong artists.
Especially in the mainland market, mainland artists are the real entertainment ceiling!
Liu Qianqian, Sister Fan Bing, Damimi, Song Yi, and Da Tiantian are all well-known female artists with huge commercial value. Which one has not snatched endorsements from Taiwanese and Hong Kong artists?
For example, Sister Fan Bing, known as the queen of the red carpet, is loved by major brands around the world. She has a lot of luxury endorsements, two-thirds of which are snatched away.
Taiwanese-owned labels are not fools. It is one thing to give the Golden Horse Awards face. They will never abandon popular domestic entertainment artists for a long time and choose outdated Taiwanese artists as spokespersons.
Of course!
Just because you don't take it seriously doesn't mean you won't fight back!
After hanging up the phone, Fang Ziheng called Zhong Lifang and gave him a few words of advice.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Just after the Golden Horse Awards Executive Committee issued a message, the official blog of Hengyu Media immediately sent a message of confidence.
"Starting from today: All the film works of the group and all the artists under contract will not participate in the Golden Horse Awards selection!
All movies, TV series, and variety shows produced by the group will strengthen the review and invitation of Taiwanese artists!"
Hard steel, see hard steel again!
This time, the scope is wider, not only Fang Ziheng's own movies, but also all movies produced by Hengyu Media from now on.
Including re-signed Lao Mouzi, Wu Jing, Wen Muye, Su Lun, Hao Yi, Lin Chaoxian, Yu Feihong, Guo Fan, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, Wu Ershan 11 film directors
Although Xu Zheng and Ning Hao did not directly sign a directing contract, their company was funded by Hengyu Media, and the films directed by the group usually accounted for the largest investment, so they were also included.
Another one, Ning Hao was the first director to speak out against the Golden Horse Awards. Together with Lao Deng and Hao Yi, netizens jokingly called him the "Three Musketeers" who supported Emperor Gong!
The three of them were praised by netizens, who said they must buy tickets to watch their next movie.
The three of them were blown away by the netizen's rainbow fart, especially Lao Dengtou, which was so happy.
This guy called Fang Ziheng that day and promised to launch a second movie. He boasted that the script had been refined three times and had a potential of over one billion.
Fang Ziheng was speechless and asked Mr. Deng to send the script over and review it himself. If it passed, the project would be approved.
Hengyu Media's hard steel once again caused an uproar, especially the review and invitation of Taiwanese artists the next day.
As far as I know, no Taiwanese artist has ever participated in a movie or TV series produced by Hengyu Media, but this is the first time that he has shown his courage and spoken out!
In the past, the domestic entertainment and film industry had a tacit understanding, and there was never any direct competition.
