The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

"Director Chen, if I were shooting the film I have on hand, and our films were competing in the same year, you might not necessarily win the award, so don't be so sure." Director Zhang of Friendship Brothers Film and Television also expressed confidence after reading his film script "Request in the Rain".

The others also took a look at the movie title on the sealed bag on Director Zhang's desk.

"Director Zhang, how about we make a bet?" Director Chen of Yidaguang Media said excitedly.

"What are you betting on?" Director Zhang was not willing to be left behind.

"Let's bet one hundred thousand dollars, do you dare?" Director Chen started to argue.

"Oh, it seems you are full of confidence." Director Chen looked at the script in his hand again, thought about it seriously, and then said seriously: "Let's bet!"

Others looked sideways, and everyone stared at the script in their hands and read it carefully.

The director who came with President Dong smiled and said, "You two, please don't let me win the Best Picture award. That would be embarrassing."

"In that case, let's include my Darabona Film and Television. I have confidence in the script in my hand and Director Peng. I will invest all my efforts in this script!" President Dong also spoke.

Director Peng, who accompanied President Dong, said with a smile: "President Dong, with your words, we dare to go on stage. If such a good script doesn't win an award, it's our ability."

Director Peng is also full of confidence.

Mr. Ke also had a brief exchange with the director who accompanied him, "We're also betting, not only on winning the award, but also on the box office. I firmly believe that if I can produce the script well, it will not only win the award, but the box office will not be less than 20 billion!"

"Mr. Ke, you are too conservative. If you let me make this film, the minimum budget will be 4 billion! There is no upper limit." Director Peng said confidently.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, and I'll invest my full money in it! The hottest movie next year will definitely be this "My Sassy Girl" we have on hand."

"You are all big guys. It's not that I don't have confidence in my script, but our Hong Kong films don't have inherent advantages in the mainland, so I didn't join." The Hong Kong director said sourly.

Although Xia Haoyang couldn't speak Cantonese, he could still understand it roughly, so he patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.

The Hong Kong director said: You are all big guys. It’s not that I don’t have confidence in my script, but the movies produced in Hong Kong do not have an advantage at the box office if they are released in mainland China, so I will not participate in your bet.

"Then let's make a bet! President Xia will be the notary!"

"Let's gamble! If you're a man, don't be afraid. Just do it!"

Except for the director from Hong Kong who shrugged his shoulders and expressed helplessness, the representatives from other companies were all very excited and passionate.

There was no written agreement, just a verbal bet, but 100,000 yuan was not a big deal for several directors, especially Mr. Ke and Mr. Dong. They also forced themselves to polish the films at hand more carefully. For Xia Haoyang, each company paid more attention to the scripts he wrote, so why not try to make the movies better? This can also be regarded as a fan benefit.

After everyone was happy with the script selection, Xia Haoyang invited representatives from the five companies to have a meal at a nearby restaurant, and then everyone left.

On the way back to the company after dinner, Zhao Yishen patted Xia Haoyang on the shoulder and said, "There's one more film left. It's called 'The Fate of the Next Life', right? Let's do it ourselves?"

"Yes, it's okay for us to do this film ourselves, and we can design the songs and dances more perfectly. And it would be best if we could invite 30-40 big stars to make guest appearances in this film. I'm worried that other companies are unwilling to do this, but if it's ours, then it doesn't matter. We can call all the actors we've worked with before and have a good relationship with, and ask them to make guest appearances." Xia Haoyang said seriously.

"Fuck, there's no need to be so cruel. We didn't join the gambling." Zhao Yishen was greatly shocked.

"If the script of "Fate in the Next Life" is well-made, the audience will like the story, the songs and dances in it, and will talk about the guest appearances of celebrities in the plot with great relish, but it is really difficult to win an award." Xia Haoyang smiled.

"Then why are you so generous and planning to invite thirty or forty celebrities to guest star? It shouldn't be that necessary. Just three or five celebrities will be enough. If you invite so many celebrities, how many scenes can each of them get?"

"Each star only has a few seconds of screen time, but believe me, this film is worth it!"

"You once invited more than 20 people including Xiaoming and Bo to guest star in Tara's music video, but that was an event of Yancheng Film Academy, and everyone was together. It's not easy to find so many celebrities to guest star in your movie this time."

"Make an appointment in advance and let Director Liu Chang handle this matter. It all depends on his appeal."

"Haha, you really know how to cause trouble for Director Liu. Let's see how he scolds you. It's still unknown whether he is willing to take this job."

"Director Liu will definitely accept it. I have no doubt about it."

The next day, news was made public online that several companies had obtained Xia Haoyang's new script, and several directors openly called for a bet on which film would win the Best Film of the Year award, but the prize money for the bet was not made public online.

This has also aroused the interest of netizens, because the plot of the movie in the bet is still unknown, but the titles of the four movies in the bet have been made public. There is also a website that has made a ranking and asked everyone to vote, which of the four movies do you think will win the final Best Picture Award?

A: "Introduction to Architecture" B: "My Sassy Girl" C: "Request in the Rain" D: "If Love Has Destiny"

As a result, more than half of the audience voted for "Introduction to Architecture"; then "Request in the Rain" ranked second, "If You Are the One" ranked third; and "My Sassy Girl" ranked fourth.

One netizen's opinion was: "My Sassy Girl" sounds like a comedy, and this is the type of movie that is least likely to win an award. What the hell is "Introduction to Architecture"? I didn't go to college, so don't lie to me about my lack of education. I chose this because this title is the most mysterious.

Some netizens hold different opinions. If it wants to win an award, the movie must be "Request in the Rain" judging from the name. It is obvious that the movie is good enough to win an award. If the movie is more sensational, more clichéd, and the plot is more profound, then it will win an award.

Anyway, ever since the four companies announced the news of the bet to win the prize, netizens have been expressing their opinions one after another, and it has been very lively.

The benefit of doing this is that the stocks of the four companies, including Xia Haoyang's Fat Cat Studio, soared, and even the stocks of all companies in the entire entertainment sector were rising.

This is also the reason why several companies deliberately publicize such things on the Internet, cooperating with each other to hype up the films that their own companies are about to shoot, preparing for better box office results when the films are released in the future, and directly increasing the attention of the entire entertainment industry.

As for the 100,000 yuan bet? This wave of advertising traffic is really good!
