The female judge also said seriously, “Other than her eyes, her other emotions are also very accurate. For example, in the scene with Gao Guang, she was holding back her tears but the corners of her eyes were red. It really suited her character’s mental state at that time.”
The others also expressed their opinions, all of them acknowledging Qiao Weiyang’s acting skills.
“If there’s no problem, then it’s Qiao Weiyang,” the old judge said.
“Wait.” Huang Shitao placed the sign with Qiao Weiyang’s name on it in the middle of the table, “There’s a problem with this award.”
“What’s the problem?” the old judge asked.
“Qiao Jierou, from JR, has met me before. She wants to win this award.”
“But Qiao Jierou’s acting skills can’t be compared to Qiao Weiyang’s, right? Although her role is pretty good and her scenes can’t be said to be bad, it’ll be very hard for us to go against our conscience and say that she deserves this award more than Qiao Weiyang.” The female judge was a little agitated. “Mr. Huang, we can’t fool the audience like this, nor can we fool our conscience like this!”
BoxNovel.comThe old judge agreed with her. “If we make such a choice, where will our credibility go? How can we guarantee the value of our award? Shitao, our award has almost 50 years of history. It’s precisely because we’ve always been honest that we’ve received the recognition of so many people. Every time we give out an award, it’ll be treated like a benchmark by the industry! If we choose casually, how can our conscience be at ease?”
Huang Shitao was silent for a long time before saying, “There’s no need to talk about CL Jewelry. They just want to use us as a springboard and use celebrities as publicity to enter S Country’s market. However, they’ve given us enough sponsorship fees. This is also a win-win situation for us. There’s nothing to say. But JR…”
He stood up and said, “JR is Qiao Jierou’s business. She has communicated with me. Previously, she only planned to sponsor money, but now, she’s willing to provide ten projects to assist in the filming and development of niche movies. Ten! In the 50 years since our awards were established, we’ve never produced ten projects to help directors and actors who are dedicated to art! We don’t even have the money to do more for the industry. We need more good talents to develop the film industry! Qiao Jierou’s acting skills might not be enough, but her heart definitely makes her deserving of this award!”
Everyone fell silent. One of them said, “You’re getting these two things confused, aren’t you?”
But no one answered him.
Huang Shitao was also silent, letting everyone think.
The old judge asked, “JR wants to push someone to be the winner, but what if CL wants to do the same? What should we do? Will we have to get into a fight?”
“CL doesn’t have the intention to push anyone. It’s just a simple collaboration. However, CL’s President, Madam Celine, promised that she would invest five consecutive years of funds for us to develop our film industry! The sum is more than JR! However, it’s not a problem to get more funds to help the film industry develop, right? So, JR…”
Everyone understood what Huang Shitao meant. He wanted both sponsors.
Since CL had no demands and JR had demands, they would definitely give priority to JR even if CL offered a higher sponsorship.
Everyone fell silent. In the face of benefits, it was very difficult to make a choice. Especially since this benefit was not for themselves but to promote the development of the entire industry.
If it were for the benefit of one person, perhaps everyone would still have the courage to say, “I don’t want this money!”
However, since it was for the advancement of the industry, who could say that? This affected the nurturing of newbies. They would probably not have such an opportunity in the future!
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Huang Shitao said, “Since no one has any objections, it’s decided.”
No one had any objections, so they didn’t say anything.
Although it was a good thing, everyone’s mood could not relax. Instead, the atmosphere was a little heavy.
“Everyone, cheer up. Don’t be like this,” Huang Shitao said. “When Madam Celine comes, we must receive her well.”
“Don’t we need to receive Qiao Jierou properly?” someone asked casually.
The old judge replied on behalf of Huang Shitao, “We’ve repaid Qiao Jierou for her sponsorship. There’s no need to be so polite with her. We’re just taking what we need.”
The young man understood that respect was actually for true collaborators, not those who used tricks.
The warm-up for the award ceremony had been posted on Weibo for a long time.
Currently, the Golden Crown Film Awards was the center of attention.
The list of candidates, news of sponsors, and guesses about who would win the awards were all hot topics.
Qiao Jierou also bought many trending searches and marketing accounts to hype up her popularity.
At first glance, her popularity seemed to be comparable to Qiao Weiyang’s. They were indeed the top two female leads.
However, this was just an illusion. The real professional organizations all had accurate data.
For example, Qiao Weiyang’s fans were true fans. Behind every account was a living person. They had different personalities and thoughts. The only thing they shared was their love for Qiao Weiyang.
They might not know how to mess with data, and it might be difficult to say a few words for Qiao Weiyang, but when Qiao Weiyang really needed them, they would appear.
Behind Qiao Jierou’s fans were all the same people. They just worked behind tens of millions of accounts.
But at the end of the day, no matter how many accounts there were, they were still the same group of people. What was the point?
Therefore, Qiao Weiyang had received invitations from many luxury brands that hoped she could wear their clothes when she stepped onto the red carpet of the film awards.
Lu Mingjue’s mailbox was about to explode. Inside were new clothes sent by various designers.
There were new gowns that were two seasons ahead of schedule.
Qiao Weiyang’s real popularity was known by the big shots from these companies, who had her real data in their hands.
“Sister-in-law, these brands that provide you with clothes should have the intention to work with you in the future. Now, it depends on your own wishes,” Lu Mingjue said.
“Try your best to choose brands with good reputations that aren’t engaged in anything shady. I’ll let you deal with the rest.”
Lu Mingjue knew what to do. “Okay.”
As for Qiao Jierou, so far, there were indeed brands that had invited her.
Jiang Lin took the email and printed it out for Qiao Jierou to see.
“Why are they all C-list brands?” she asked with a frown.
