Chapter 500: Making friends with a rich lady brings you many opportunities!
Let’s not worry about Zhou Sheng, who is known for his weirdness, and get back to the movie itself.
Since there is no worry about box office, investment is recovered, investors make a lot of money, and the status of artists can also be improved.
What the director team and all the actors want next is nothing more than for the film to win major awards in the Chinese-language film industry.
I can also hope for some personal awards like Best Newcomer, Best Actor, or Best Actress.
At the same time, I am also praying that in the remaining two months of this year, there will not be another dark horse among the movies that have not been released.
In fact, whether a movie wins an award or not is not only determined by the quality of the movie itself, the acting skills of the actors, the quality of the script, but even the costumes, props, concept, music, and popularity.
Whether a movie can win an award depends first on whether there is enough capital to support it.
Second, it’s still two words - metaphysics.
To put it bluntly, it's just luck.
Sometimes people really can't help but sigh at their misfortunes.
It is known that the number of films released each year is within a limited range, and the evaluation and awards are also done behind closed doors to select the tallest among these dozens of films.
Fortunately, no blockbuster movie came out all year.
This award cannot be left ungranted.
In the end, they could only find a film that had the highest box office that year and looked acceptable, and force it to the top, and it won a bunch of awards in a confused manner.
This is the darkest moment for the domestic film industry. Decades ago, the winner of the annual Best Chinese Film Award - "Let's Go Today!"
A large-scale sand sculpture travel variety show with a script imported from abroad, improved and localized, and attended by many celebrities...a specially launched movie version.
That’s right, variety show, movie gold award.
Again.
Domestic entertainment pills!!!
If there happened to be a movie with decent quality, good box office, great ideas and good overall effect released that year.
Naturally, it easily beat "Let's Go Today!" and became the well-deserved gold medal winner that year.
But it just happened to be bad luck.
Or go back at least twenty years.
In that era of great conflict, no matter how good, classic, or popular your movie was, it didn’t matter.
It is almost impossible to stand out among a group of movies with equally high quality and each one getting better than the last.
What were the movies released that year?
Let’s just say that this is the seventh must-see movie on the Chinese-language film list. It makes me cry while watching it, and I am amazed by its artistry, the depth of the plot, the exquisite costumes and props, and the lofty intention. It can be called a classic masterpiece.
This masterpiece with a score of 9.7 just ran for a whole lap that year. The entire director team and all the actors sat there for an entire afternoon, but in the end they didn't even win the final prize.
Just tell me if you are angry or not!!!
If it were released now, it would be no exaggeration to say that all Chinese-language films would deserve a separate award for it.
It's just so unreasonable.
These are the glorious days that domestic entertainment can never go back to!
After the movie is over, wait for the director and actors to come on stage to express their gratitude and make the final announcement, and then the host will announce the end of the preview and ask everyone to leave in an orderly manner.
The director of the crew was still on the stage staring at Zhou Sheng in a daze.
His eyes were so burning that he wanted to rush off the stage immediately to grab Boss Zhou's hand and ask him to give him the master's contact information so that he could do more work in metaphysics.
Don’t talk about being aloof!
Just ask which director doesn’t want to win awards for making movies!
Those who haven’t taken it want to take it, and those who have taken it want more.
If you really don't care about reputation, why not just make a movie and enjoy it yourself? Why bother showing it in theaters or filling out forms and submitting film negatives to the selection committee?
It’s not shabby to say openly “I just want to win the award”!!!
Taking advantage of the movie screening opportunity to touch up his makeup backstage, Xue Ze now went on stage with the director team for the final thank-you segment.
As the traffic and box office leader of the film, he not only successfully won the C position, but also once again caused the audience to exclaim in surprise.
The guns, cannons and photographic equipment that had been put away were unpacked and displayed again.
The flickering white lights illuminated the venue as if it were daytime, making it difficult for people to open their eyes.
Xue Ze maintained his smile and started doing business again, just standing there and letting them take as many photos as they wanted.
However, his thoughts and gaze started to fish again, and according to his previous habit, he looked towards where Bai Yuan was.
Seeing this, Xue Ze stood there in a daze, with deep shock flashing in his dark eyes.
The row of six seats was now empty, with no trace of Bai Yuan and her friends.
Even his immediate boss had left his seat at some point and his whereabouts were unknown.
"You left after watching the movie?"
As Xue Ze speculated secretly, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
After waiting for so many days, I finally have the chance to see you again.
Before he had the chance to talk to Miss Bai, she had already left.
See you next time, I don’t know when that will be.
Xue Ze's fingertips moved slightly, unconsciously touching the mobile phone in his trouser pocket.
He also has some new music he's thought of and would like to find an opportunity to discuss it with Ms. Bai.
During the closing ceremony of the second half, Xue Ze became visibly depressed.
Everyone just thought that he was exhausted from the business in recent days and was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief now that it was finally coming to an end.
I didn’t think too much about it.
After the closing ceremony, a listless Xue Ze, led by the staff, walked through the backstage corridor, greeted the seniors he met along the way, went to his dressing room, packed his luggage and prepared to leave in the nanny car with his agent who was waiting backstage.
When he reached the door of his lounge, he paused when he saw the familiar figure standing outside.
A flame in Xue Ze's dark eyes reignited and lit up again.
The next second, without any hesitation, he suppressed the corners of his mouth that were difficult to control and strode straight towards the other party.
"Ms. Bai!!! Why don't you come in......"
There is no longer the constraint of being forced to work in front of the media and the audience.
Xue Ze released his talkative nature that had been suppressed for a long time, and couldn't wait to pour out everything in his mind to Bai Yuan.
However, when he just started to speak, Bai Yuan raised her hand to signal and interrupted him, then stepped aside to make way for him to look inside.
Xue Ze's heart was pounding as he thought Bai Yuan had prepared some surprise for him to celebrate the successful preview, and he looked inside the door expectantly.
When he looked up, he saw one, two or three girls who had just sat next to Bai Yuan. They were looking at him with burning eyes, like chicks looking for their mother, with the same expectant and hungry eyes.
Xue Ze: "......"
Bai Yuan: "They are my classmates and also your fans. If it is convenient, please take a photo with them and get their autographs."
These words sounded polite and courteous, but they were said by Bai Yuan in a calm tone with no option to refuse.
It's essentially a notification, not an inquiry.
As the largest capital of Haiqi City, it is not difficult to help friends get autographs from their favorite artists.
Since Bai Yuan had spoken personally, it was impossible for Xue Ze to refuse or shirk his responsibility.
Although he felt sorry that Bai Yuan did not give him a gift or surprise as he had expected.
But after thinking about it, he felt that Bai Yuan did not leave without saying goodbye after watching the movie, but was thinking of bringing his friends to the backstage to find him.
I felt a lot more relieved.
When facing his fans, Xue Ze switched back to business mode in a second.
He nodded slightly to Bai Yuan to indicate that there was no problem.
Then he very professionally stepped forward and asked several people what equipment they wanted to use to take pictures.
He also asked his assistant to help him take out the Polaroid camera he carried with him so that he could sign on the photo with others.
When interacting with fans offline, Xue Ze was very careful to hide his true nature.
He put aside his talkative nature when he was with Bai Yuan, and only showed his usual cold and aloof image on the screen.
Based on the principle of saying more, more mistakes; saying less, fewer mistakes; saying nothing, no mistakes.
He replaced verbal communication with gentlemanly behavior and actively cooperated without complaint no matter what requests the fans made.
In this way, he shows another layer of his personality, which is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, gentle and easy to talk to.
There is still a mask under the mask.
Therefore, Xue Ze has always been confident in his acting skills, so much so that he did not hesitate to start developing in the direction of a powerful film actor.
If he didn't have good acting skills, he wouldn't have been able to fool his huge fan base for so many years.
After all, who would have thought that underneath the mask of a cool idol, there is actually a chatty person who is very familiar with others, has a bit of a mysterious look, likes to be abstract, and can talk to anyone?
Before the transformation, the top idol was still positioned according to the image assigned to him by the company.
As a qualified idol, you naturally have to learn to satisfy the fans' fantasies about your idol.
When Zhao Jiajia and others first met Xue Ze, they were still a little hesitant.
When your favorite idol is standing right in front of you, it is normal for fans to be so excited and nervous that they become speechless.
The question is, who doesn’t want to show their best posture and appearance in front of their idol and leave a deep impression on him?
Therefore, when I first started taking photos, my smile was stiff, my posture was rigid, and the photos I took were not really satisfactory.
Facing Xue Ze, several people were too embarrassed to ask for a reshoot.
I had originally planned to take the precious photos that I had finally obtained and slowly edit them.
After Xue Ze realized that the photos were not taken well, he took the initiative to take a few more pictures until he got a photo that satisfied everyone.
The reservedness and nervousness of Zhao Jiajia and others gradually faded away due to Xue Ze's perfect and thoughtful service.
After a short time together, I found that Xue Ze was actually very easy to talk to and didn't show any impatience at all.
You can even have the guts to ask him for various TO visa requirements.
Of course, those overly straightforward fan confessions are just something you can think about in your mind, but no one would dare to say them out loud in front of real people.
In the end, all that was left were some good wishes such as "I wish you success in the postgraduate entrance examination", "I wish you make a fortune", and "I wish you become more and more beautiful".
About twenty minutes later, Xue Ze finally finished taking a group photo with Bai Yuan's roommates and completed the task assigned by Bai Yuan.
While a few people were holding the group photo signature and turning it over and over to admire it curiously.
Xue Ze approached Bai Yuan who was standing at the door without leaving any trace, and whispered in her ear:
"Miss Bai, would you like to take a photo as well?"
Bai Yuan raised her eyes to look at Xue Ze who was standing nearby, her sight falling on the other's face which had been remade with makeup and had sharp angles and a full three-dimensional feel.
I could smell something between my nose, I wasn't sure if it was makeup or perfume.
The carefully groomed hair was dotted with shiny glitter.
Those black eyes seemed to be illuminated from behind. They were brighter than anything seen before, with a layer of faint light rippling inside.
Bai Yuan's own figure seemed to be trapped and appeared in the center of the aperture.
Bai Yuan looked away, smiled politely, and said calmly:
"Thank you for your hard work. The movie is well made. I wish you a big box office success in advance."
As soon as he finished speaking, the light circle in Xue Ze's eyes seemed to have come into contact with flammable material, and ignited a layer of scorching flames on the outermost layer.
His mind moved slightly, he looked at Bai Yuan in front of him steadily, and said: "Miss Bai, I——"
Bai Yuan had already turned his head to look at his roommates who were still exchanging photos and sharing their joy behind him. He walked past Xue Ze and asked loudly:
"Okay? Anything else?"
Bai Yuan has not studied the circle of star-chasing girls in detail, and is not clear about the procedures when they meet their idols.
The only things she knew about the group photo and the signature were from her cousin Jiang Ran two years ago. Anything more would be beyond her knowledge.
Zhao Jiajia and others were still immersed in the joy of getting the group photo and the autograph, and didn't care about anything else.
Besides, taking the photo took Xue Ze too much of his time, so he would feel embarrassed to ask for more.
So he quickly replied:
"That's all! A photo and a TO autograph are enough!"
Even this is something that many fans dream of and want day and night but cannot get.
It was also thanks to Bai Yuan that I was able to use the back door to get the opportunity to get close to my idol.
Sure enough, being roommates with a rich woman brings many opportunities!
The better days are yet to come!
Thinking of this, he silently looked at the photo in his hand.
I originally wanted to post on WeChat Moments and Weibo to show off and satisfy the vanity of a star-chasing girl.
But then I thought about it carefully and gave up the idea.
There is no other reason, the fan base is just too crazy.
If it was through normal channels, such as encountering someone in a shopping mall, being picked up at the airport, or getting an autograph by chance during fan support, then it would be fine.
But now the photo in my hand clearly shows that this was obtained through a backdoor connection, although the background of the lounge has been concealed by a clever angle.
But what the Internet lacks the least is microscope girls.
If you pay attention, you can even find clues from the reflections of the lenses and eyeballs.
In their eyes, no secret can hide, they can see it clearly!
They were worried that if they posted a photo with Xue Ze and the to signature, it would be washed away by the toxic fans.
It would be a waste of time if extreme fans opened the box and followed the Internet cable to find the item offline.
This is a great thing, so you should save it in your phone and enjoy it when you get home.
The things promised to his roommates have been done. Seeing that they have no other requests, Bai Yuan nodded and said, "Then go back."
