Huayu: When the director changed his major

Chapter 221: Looking for me, the director, to be the spokesperson?

"Before the Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony, the organizing committee will generally conduct a preliminary vote for the 101 public judges."

"Based on the results of the preliminary voting, the organizing committee will coordinate the work appropriately, so there will generally be a distribution of fruits."

"But who they will vote for in the final vote is not certain."

Yu Jianhong is worthy of being the director of the Management Department, and he is very clear about the ins and outs of the awards.

In order to get as many nominations as possible, Cheng Xi will certainly not sit idly by.

In addition to having the company's publicity department and Jin Xiaoluo and her team create momentum on major platforms, they also want to take the upper-level route.

So today I came to Director Yu’s office.

It has been a long time since I last visited, so Cheng Xi came over to chat.

"According to previous years' situation, there are usually three nominations and one selection."

Yu Jianhong blew on the floating tea leaves in the cup and then said.

"Director, are you familiar with the organizing committee?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xi asked tentatively.

Seeing Yu Jianhong immediately look up at him, he immediately added:
"Director, I'm not trying to use a backdoor, I just hope it's fair and that you don't take away the award that belongs to me."

When Yu Jianhong heard his favorite student from the Management Department say this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, you are now the key training target of the academy. Not to mention bullying others, at least they won't watch you being bullied."

"The organizing committee does know someone there. I'll inquire about the situation in advance."

After hearing this, Cheng Xi felt relieved.

Because he knew that his biggest competitor, Feng Kuazi, must have better connections than him.

If you say that he would just sit there and wait for the award to fall on his head, Cheng Xi would never believe it.

Maybe he was discussing the award operation with Huayi’s senior management, just like himself.

Then Cheng Xi chatted with Director Yu in his office for another half an hour.

Before leaving, Director Yu gave another instruction.

"If we divide the fruits, there are ten awards in total. Excluding the Lifetime Award, Zhang Yimou will definitely get one for 'Xinhai Revolution', at least one for 'Love Is Not Blind' and 'Du Lala', and Feng Kuazi will probably get at least two or three."

"So take a look at which awards you're most likely to win, and focus on those few tasks. It's not good to try to do too much and try to do everything."

"I see, Director. Thank you for your advice."

After coming out of Director Yu’s office, I originally wanted to look for Han Sanping from China Film Group.

After all, this movie made him a lot of money.

But when I think about "Aftershock", they directly produced, invested and distributed it.

Not closer than myself.

Going there would only give the other side the information.

Thinking about it this way, my network of contacts is indeed shallow.

That’s right, when I have time, I’m filming, and when I have nothing to do, I’m picking up girls and playing games.

I didn't even bother with the drinking and socializing.

Plus, I’m young and many people can’t get along with me.

Since this is our weakness, we can only think of ways to promote it.

After all, "Aftershock" was released in July 10, almost two years ago.

Many viewers have forgotten.

But the real events in this film are touching, and the grand narrative is very advantageous.

"Life Events" was also released in September last year, almost a year ago.

Many people can’t remember it either.

The most important thing now is to awaken everyone’s memory of “Life Events”.

So Cheng Xi rushed to the company and called Li Wentao over to arrange the next stage of work.

"First, let TFgirls cover the ending theme song 'Twinkle Twinkle Star'."

After all, Zhou Ye is the heroine.

And this time, Zhou Ye’s nomination for Best Newcomer should be the easiest.

The biggest competitors are Zhang Zifeng from "Aftershock" and Hu Ge from "The Revolution of 1911".

Hu Ge is very popular, and this is just his first time acting in a movie.

The re-recorded theme song is also accompanied by images from the movie.

Let everyone review the plot of the movie again to deepen their impression of Zhou Ye.

"Secondly, we can discuss whether it is possible to change the paid subscription for "Life Events" to a limited-time discount of two months for the broadcast of major video platforms. Our company can provide a certain subsidy."

This method is mainly to allow the largest audience to see the film.

It also allows everyone to watch the movie in the cinema twice or three times.

"Third, let's talk about the PK between me, Senior Brother Lu, and the Imperial Master for a few more days."

I'm sorry, cheap Senior Brother Lu, it's your fault for saying such irresponsible things back then. Don't blame me for holding you back.

What's more, you nominated it.

You have to help your junior brother when you are needed.

"Fourth, arrange for the publicity department to arrange for Zhu Yilong, Zhang Tianai, Zhou Ye and others to catch up on announcements or variety shows in the near future so that they can show up more."

Mr. You is not in good health, so he definitely can't run with us.

There are only a few main creators left.

Carry out publicity around these four points, which will almost cover the period before the prize draw.

Li Wentao wrote down all four points with a pen. This was the first award for the company's film, so of course he had to take it seriously.

"Wentao, the last point is to collect audience feedback on the Hundred Flowers Awards."

"For example, the Hundred Flowers Awards are all about sharing fruits, and negative news like voting is spread."

"This needs to be kept secret. We don't spread rumors. We're only responsible for forwarding and fanning the flames."

Li Wentao heard the boss's four points, which he considered to be relatively routine operations. If it were him, he might have thought of it too.

But the last point is to arouse public opinion and force you to stop playing tricks or play less tricks.

Block the retreat route in advance.

Try to return the power of awarding to the audience.

I have to say it's very wonderful.

Because the Hundred Flowers Awards is also called the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards, it is considered to be the most important film award that attaches the most importance to public opinion.

Therefore, this move will make the organizing committees feel a little apprehensive.

If he really lost to Feng Kuazi fairly, Cheng Xi would have no complaints.

Deep city.

Penguin Interactive Entertainment Department, League of Legends Group.

It has been five years since Qi Weijun graduated from a 985 university and is now working as a marketing specialist in the Penguin League of Legends team.

This job is very suitable for him who likes to read novels and play games.

Because I have to go to work at 9 o'clock in the day, I can play LOL for an hour before starting work.

You can even play a few 5V5 games with your colleagues before leaving get off work in the evening.

Of course, this is all permitted by the company.

The first is to familiarize yourself with the game, the second is to find bugs, and the third is to contact players and see their recent feedback.

The salary is also very high.

13th salary plus bonus at the end of the year.

Currently, the League of Legends group is the most important project in the interactive entertainment department.

In just over two years, the number of global players of this game has exceeded 1500 million.

It surpassed the top game at the time, World of Warcraft.

There is obviously great potential for the national server.

He was working and searching for information, and in the lower right corner was a novel interface the size of a tofu block.

He was reading the hottest novel "The Hidden Corner" with his right eye, and just happened to see his supervisor coming over with his left eye.

So I immediately pressed the F11 key to hide the novel interface.

While thinking:
"I usually work overtime because I'm busy at work. Now that there's not much to do, it's normal for me to catch some fish."

Supervisor: "The marketing department is here for a quick meeting."

So, all the people at their workstations came to the meeting room.

Supervisor: "The Chinese server will update to the new S11 season in November. At that time, the ladder points will be changed to rank points, and a series of game activities will be held."

"The project boss asked us to submit five suitable celebrity candidates to be the spokespersons for this update. They are required to have a certain level of gaming proficiency."

"Well, let's all discuss and come up with a list and submit it. Xiao Zhong, you're more familiar with the entertainment industry, so you go first."

Xiao Zhong distributed a portion of the materials in his hand to each person.

It was obvious that the supervisor had already discussed this with Xiao Zhong.

Xiao Zhong: "This is the list of celebrities who can play League of Legends that I have collected so far."

"The more famous ones include Chen He, Xue Zhiqian, Lin Gengxin, and the host Zhu Zhen."

When you look at this list of artists, except for the four that Xiao Zhong just mentioned, the rest are indeed Xiao Karami.

I'm afraid he's not qualified enough to be the spokesperson for a large-scale game.

So someone started to discuss:
"Xue Zhiqian has become a bit obscure since 'Serious Snow'. I guess many people don't know him now?"

"I do know Zhu Zhen, a host, but his influence is clearly not enough, and he's also quite old."

"Chen He is the most well-known, but his cheesy image doesn't quite fit the description of a hero."

"Lin Gengxin became famous last year after starring in 'Scarlet Heart'. I heard he recently collaborated with Mr. Zui Bai on 'Diamond Lover', but it hasn't aired yet."

After this discussion, both the supervisor and Xiao Zhong felt a little nervous.

In other words, none of these four people quite meet the criteria, but there are only so many samples to choose from.

You can't invite a star who can't play games to perform, because by then he or she won't be able to play at all.

Wouldn't that be counterproductive and ruin the place?
"I think it's fine to invite the artists on this list to play in our All-Star Game, but they're not going to be great as spokespersons."

"Can we not play games? We'd have more samples if we didn't ask for this. We have enough funding anyway."

At this time, Qi Weijun looked at the list and suddenly thought of someone.

I was just slacking off on the computer and reading his book.

So he looked at Xiao Zhong first, then at the supervisor, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Because it was obvious that this list was discussed between the two of them.

But the candidate he proposed was not on the list.

The supervisor saw that Qi Weijun wanted to speak, so he said:

"Xiao Qi, you haven't expressed your opinion yet, do you have any suggestions?"

"Uh, Director, I have a candidate in mind, but he's not on the list and isn't even considered an artist."

"Not an artist? Wang Sicong? He does play games, and I heard he often plays duo with Lin Gengxin."

"But they won't come. It doesn't fit the image."

Qi Weijun:
"Supervisor, not Wang Sicong."

"I wonder if you've been following Weibo lately."

"The teacher Zuibai we just talked about, he also plays League of Legends. Judging from the screenshots, his performance is pretty good."

The supervisor was suddenly shocked and said, "That's right."

I also saw Teacher Zuibai’s Weibo at that time.

But he is not an entertainer, he is a director and online writer.

Would he be willing to accept our endorsement?
