The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Golden Bull Award? Xiaoyue has been at Blue Star for a year, and she has never heard of this award.

"Invitation? Have our works been selected?"

Even though two movies have been screened in a row, Xiaoyue has never really thought about winning an award. After all, such awards cannot be won without some background and connections.

Ma Li smiled and said, "Boss Cheng, you don't know yet, do you? Our movie has been nominated for several awards. You will know once you take a look."

As he said that, he pulled out a piece of paper from the bottom of the invitation letter and handed it to Xiaoyue.

Xiaoyue was surprised to see that she was shortlisted for five awards.

"Avatar" and "Phone Booth" are both on the list of best film nominees, but Xiaoyue thinks "Avatar" should be able to win this award.

Wu Hao is on the list of nominees for Best Director, and his representative works include "Phone Booth" and "Avatar".

I am actually among the candidates for Best Screenwriter, and my representative works are also nominated for "Phone Booth" and "Avatar".

Ma Teng is in the Best Cinematography category, and his representative works are "Phone Booth" and "Avatar".

Zhang Zehua is among the best actor candidates, which is normal as his acting skills are absolutely top-notch.

"You can ask Wu Hao, Ma Teng, and Zhang Zehua to go. I won't go."

Ma Li was a little surprised and said anxiously: "Boss Cheng, you are not going to such an important award? But the Golden Bull Award is only given once every two years, and it is the most prestigious award in China!"

Mr. Cheng, could this be the same old problem coming back again?

Xiao Yue sighed and said, "Don't you think it would be a bit too much if we all went? Then wouldn't Yue Xiang become a thorn in their side?"

Ma Li sighed and said, "Even if you don't go, our Yuexiang Entertainment is now the focus of others' attention."

Xiao Yue was surprised and pointed at the office building below her feet. She said, "How come our small company with more than 200 people has become the focus?"

"But we don't have many people and our company is not big, but we are famous. Our movies have long overshadowed those made by other companies. Even the current leader Tianyu can't compare with us."

"Hey, Ma Li, have you been with Wu Hao for so long that you've become arrogant? Our company currently only has one movie, but Tianyu is involved in various industries. Look at their TV series and cartoons. Compared to them, we are just a toddler."

Ma Li was speechless. She didn’t think Xiaoyue was right, but felt that President Cheng had greatly underestimated her Yuexiang Entertainment!

"Send them the invitation."

Mary walked away with a pout.

Xiaoyue quickly opened her computer and did a search. It turned out that China had established relevant award ceremonies for various industries including literature, film and television dramas, and music.

The Golden Bull Award was established since the founding of China. It is held every two years. More than 20 awards are selected for TV series and movies respectively, and special awards and honorary awards are added when necessary. Its significance lies in that it is not only one of the highest awards in the Chinese film and television industry, but also an affirmation and recognition of outstanding contributions to the development of China's film and television industry, which has greatly promoted the development of Chinese film and television.

Xiaoyue also took a look at the music awards and found out that it was the China Golden Bell Award. Like the Golden Bull Award, it is also awarded every two years. They are both national art awards.

No wonder I had never heard of it last year, Xiaoyue suddenly realized that it would be strange if I didn’t get hurt badly if I won such a big prize.

However, in terms of China's official control, Xiaoyue believes that it should be better than the Hundred Flowers and Golden Rooster in previous lives. It will be less internal and more fair and just.

Zhang Zehua was not surprised at all that Wu Hao found him.

He discovered that Mr. Cheng was good in every way except that he held a grudge.

I just played a little trick when signing the contract, and she still holds a grudge against me.

First he was the head of the Artist Department, and now he is a casting judge. He can’t bear to see himself being idle!

"Zehua, I feel like President Cheng really thinks highly of you. It's not a good idea for you to be the only one in the artist department, right? Why not take advantage of this casting to sign a few more actors?"

"Do you think President Cheng will agree?"

Zhang Zehua felt that Wu Hao was a crazy guy with deceptive ideas. Didn’t he remember the difficulties he encountered when he signed the contract?

"Now that we have an artist department, don't I, as the general manager, have the power to sign artists? Anyway, since you have already made an exception, then President Cheng will definitely not mind making a few more exceptions. Slowly, she will get used to it."

Wu Hao smiled cunningly. Zhang Zehua felt that this guy had had this idea for a long time, and this audition was also something he had planned for a long time.

"I don't care about signing a few more actors. I'm just a department head in a temporary position anyway. I'll ask your Ma Li to assign some management staff to the artist department. Is that okay with you?"

The goal was achieved, and Wu Hao agreed generously: "That's no problem. I'm setting up a crew recently anyway, so I'm sure I'll have to recruit a lot of people to join the company. Let's do it together."

Zhang Zehua was helpless. If President Cheng knew about this guy's ability to do things secretly, he would probably beat him up.

However, this guy is a big shot in President Cheng's eyes. Even though President Cheng sometimes criticizes Wu Hao, they actually have a very good relationship and neither of them bears grudges. They are not a family, but better than a family.

"Okay, you figure it out."

"Zehua, let me tell you, I've picked out a few students from the Film and Television University this time, and they're all good prospects..."

Just like that, Zhang Zehua served as a judge on the day of the audition, and reporters swarmed into the audition venue of "The Mermaid" crew.

At the audition venue for "Waves" next door, Director Feng's face turned blue with anger.

The assistant director sighed as he looked at the remaining reporters from small media outlets.

"Director Feng, all the reporters have gone to the next door. How about we do it a few hours later?"

"No, we're on time. Didn't you see that all the auditions are here?"

Director Feng cursed Wu Hao in his heart. This little bastard was really too insidious. The auditions were about to begin, but he only announced that Zhang Zehua would be a judge. It was too late for him to call for help now.

"Oh, if I had known earlier, I would have signed up for the audition of the crew next door. Look, there are so few media reporters here, and our chances of even showing our faces are slim."

"I did apply for the next-door crew, but was not selected. If I had known, I would have lowered my standards and applied for the waiter role."

"I heard that Director Wu is going to sign a few more actors to join Yue Xiang Entertainment."

"Fuck, is this true? Yuexiang Entertainment must have high requirements for signing actors. Didn't you see that Yuexiang only has one artist, Zhang Yingdi?"

"There's no hope for something like ours."

A group of actors who came for the audition sighed.

The actors who came to the audition site of "The Mermaid" next door were all full of energy, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

It is said that tens of thousands of people voted for Yue Xiang, but only more than 100 people came to the audition. What does that mean? The actors who came to the scene are the elite among the elite.

Besides, with so many media reporters carrying cameras and taking pictures of so many people, who wouldn’t want to perform well? Even if they don’t get elected, it would be a good thing if their photos and videos could become trending topics.

They are all very smart and intelligent.

The bustle here and the depression next door formed a sharp contrast. Some smart reporters seized on this contrast, wrote stories based on the pictures, and then posted them online.

It quickly jumped into the top ten trending searches. "The Mermaid" became popular before it was even filmed, and "Waves" followed suit.

Director Feng looked at the trending searches and was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He wanted "Waves" to be popular, but this kind of popularity was not what he wanted.

"Wu Hao, I will never forgive you."

Director Feng roared, causing the people around him to tremble in fear.

Oh my god, how much hatred and resentment does Director Feng have against Director Wu? They are sworn enemies.

The few remaining small media outlets happened to capture this scene.

What a great topic this is! Everyone posted the videos they just shot online.

The title is very thought-provoking, "On the hatred between Director Wu Hao and Director Feng", "Director Feng scolded Director Wu Hao, do they actually have an irreconcilable hatred?"

Each title is more explosive than the other. If Xiaoyue sees them, she will feel familiar with them, as they are very much like the clickbait titles from her previous life.

When Wu Yang saw the news, especially the video of Director Feng saying that, he was furious and cursed: "I want to break up with Old Feng. He is too shameless."

Old Ma laughed and said, "You're done. This time it was Wu Hao who tricked him first. Go and see the actual situation first."

Wu Yang hadn’t finished reading it just now, so he opened his phone to continue reading it, and laughed when he finished reading it.

"Hey, this guy did a great job. It was all thanks to me that I called him."

"It's unlucky for Old Feng to meet you two. He's old, but he's still so arrogant."

"What are you saying? He was the first to start it. Don't you know that on August 15th last year, his movie and Xiaohao's movie were released together during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the box office exceeded his. He kept calling me to scold me."

Lao Ma stopped talking. He and Wu Yang were now on the same page and would be future in-laws.
