Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 253 Confrontation at the Party
As Lin Li stepped down from the stage, everyone turned their attention to the stage again.

Hua Shao looked at Reba and said, "Then can Reba announce the release date of You Are My Glory?"

Reba smiled and raised the microphone: "Okay."

"You Are My Glory" will be released on January 2018, 1. Welcome everyone to watch the story of Qiao Jingjing and Yu Tu then."

“Qiao Jingjing can be seen everywhere!”

"Let's look forward to the big star Qiao Jingjing!"

"My heart is with you, and I will never leave you. No matter where you are, you are the most beautiful."

"Dilraba Dilmurat, beautiful as a flower! Pang Di Pang Di, invincible in the universe!"

"Coke needs ice, Eddie needs to be attentive!"

"I will love you forever, and I will never leave you in this life!"

"I do what I want, I am the coolest!"

The Alices at the scene finally found an opportunity to shout slogans in unison and with good training, which made the female stars present envious.

After all, there are only a handful of female stars who can achieve this level.

Reba also responded enthusiastically on the stage, raising her hands and making a heart shape, which attracted even more enthusiastic screams from the Alices.

"Okay, please ask Reba to step down and take a rest."

"At the same time, let us all look forward to Penguin Video's 2018 opening drama You Are My Glory, produced by Nanxun Culture, written by Nanxun, and performed by Reba!"

Hua Shao gave his closing speech in a very emotional voice, and this unique drama promotion came to an end.

However, this most special and grand drama promotion in history has aroused heated discussions, and it has just begun.

On the stage, two unknown male singers began to sing new songs specially composed for the Starlight Awards, and Hua Shao also delivered the final closing remarks of the ceremony while singing.

The scene was bustling, but Lin Li's mind was elsewhere.

After attending two platform award ceremonies in a row, he had a lot more thoughts in his mind.

Historically, award ceremonies spontaneously organized by video websites or fashion magazines have been suspected of "dividing the spoils", and the value of the awards has also been questioned.

The same is true for the awards presented at these two ceremonies.

Objectively speaking, these two grand ceremonies are more than grand in scale, but seem to be slightly lacking in the value of the honor.

After all, mainstream awards such as the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Image Awards are more popular and recognized among actors and audiences.

Think from the perspective of dialectical materialism and look at the problem from two perspectives.

With the advent of the Internet age, video website platforms have become a gathering place for contemporary netizens. Take Kiwi alone as an example. During its peak period, the daily click volume reached 3 million.

With the growth of users and the increase in demand, the quantity and quality of top content have changed from quantitative change to qualitative change. The status and reputation of video websites have made a qualitative leap in the industry, and the awards they present have more reference value and measurement standards.

Therefore, in a sense, compared with the authoritative professional awards in the industry that represent the voices of experts, the video websites have different criteria for setting awards in the ceremony. They represent more the voices of netizens, have more popular and mass significance, and are in line with the development trend of the Internet era.

In recent years, with the rise of top content on video sites and a significant improvement in the ability of celebrities to monetize traffic, it has become a general trend for celebrities and companies to join forces to create traffic. However, if such "self-organized by the private sector" ceremonies want to gain a real foothold in the industry and be recognized by the audience, they need to increase their persuasiveness in terms of authority and influence, rather than always leaving the audience with the impression of "dividing the pork."

At the same time, such ceremonies tend to fall into the mindset of a "self-congratulatory" annual commendation conference in terms of content and process setting, and there is still a long way to go in terms of innovation in content and form.

However, as a beneficiary of these two ceremonies, he was not in a position to comment too much.

After all, his senior brother really gave him a lot of face.

At the end of the ceremony, Wang Juan took the stage to announce that the number of online viewers of the Starlight Awards live broadcast so far has reached 6000 million, setting a new record for Penguin Video live broadcast data.

Amidst cheers from the audience, this grand star-studded awards show finally came to an end.

But Lin Li did not dare to relax at all, because the cocktail party after the grand prize was the test he was about to face!

-

Penguin was creative and held the cocktail party at the Cloud Cool Bar on the 80th floor of China World Trade Hotel, one of the most prestigious hotels in Beijing.

Lin Li was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he went to the cocktail party with Sun Zhonghuai. When they arrived at the venue, many guests were already immersed in soothing music.

They did not stop. Under the guidance of a special person, Sun Zhonghuai took Lin Li and several executives of Penguin to the deepest VIP room. They would not come out until the cocktail party was halfway through.

After all, the identities are different.

The welcome ceremony was a bit grand. As the door of the VIP room opened, the most powerful business tycoons in Beijing stopped talking and cast their attention.

"Hey, my two junior brothers, I've been waiting for you."

Liu Qiangdong spoke with a flushed face, and it was obvious that he had been drinking for a while.

"Senior Brother is here today too? I haven't heard from Senior Brother Sun about this."

Lin Li was somewhat surprised and walked forward to shake hands with Liu Qiangdong.

At a glance, a series of unfamiliar yet familiar faces appeared before him, which made him involuntarily become more serious.

"Zhong Huai invited me to come over and sit with him. I thought I had nothing else to do, so I came over to join in the fun."

"Speaking of which, last time I asked you to come over to my place when you were free, you never came."

Liu Qiangdong began to demand accountability.

"It's my fault, you know that, but I have to take care of my studies and company matters, so it's hard for me to be there. I'll definitely come and bother you when I have time."

Lin Li explained sincerely, even though he knew Liu Qiangdong was just joking, he still had to put on a show of sincerity.

"Haha, I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously, Junior Brother."

"Come, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Li from Baidu..."

Liu Qiangdong smiled heartily, put his arm around Lin Li's shoulders and began to introduce the bigwigs in the room to him one by one.

-

When Chen Duling arrived at the scene, most of the guests had already arrived and were chatting in twos and threes. When they saw Chen Duling enter, many of them brightened up.

After tonight, everyone realized that she and Lin Li had a close relationship. Perhaps, they could try the pillow talk route.

Chen Duling glanced at the scene and didn't see Lin Li, so he spotted an empty space near the corner and walked over.

The design style of Yunku Bar adopts elements of space. When you look up, you will see the starry sky, which is deep and mysterious, and you really feel like you are in the vast universe.

The main materials used for the decoration are stainless steel bars and glass. Under the flickering lights of the bar, it looks particularly decadent.

Chen Duling had just sat down when she heard a crisp greeting coming from the front.

She looked up and saw Dilraba Dilmurat with a beautiful smile.

"Hello Reba."

Chen Duling didn't seem surprised at all and smiled with curved eyebrows.

"Is it convenient to sit down?"

Reba's eyes moved and she pointed to the empty seat next to her.

"of course."

Chen Duling made a gesture of invitation.

Reba smiled slightly, moved and sat in the empty seat opposite Chen Duling, adjusting the hem of her skirt.

Not far away, Tian Xiwei, Zhang Ruonan and others glanced over from time to time, watching silently.

"I've been seeing a lot of news about you lately. Your box office is 26 billion. I'm really envious."

Reba looked at Chen Duling opposite her and started a conversation.

"It's all thanks to Ali's good photography. I just took a ride."

Chen Duling's eyebrows were slightly curved, with a hint of smile in the corners of her eyes.

Reba narrowed her eyes. This title? Was he claiming sovereignty over her?

Reba raised her eyelids slightly, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.

"Ali's ability is beyond doubt. You are very lucky to know him and become the heroine of his movie."

"It's just that luck doesn't always come!"

She didn't think about wasting time and went straight to the point.

Chen Duling kept smiling and looked at Reba in front of her calmly.

If it was a year ago, she might have been at a loss when facing Reba, the new top-tier star.

But, it's different now.

"Luck may not always be there, but having him is enough, even if I no longer have any luck in the future."

Chen Duling had a blank expression and a calm tone.

"You seem very confident. Do you think you have his heart?"

"Perhaps, you are just a small part of his heart."

Reba's gaze was full of aggression under the colorful lights of the bar.

Chen Duling glanced at her, picked up the champagne in front of him and took a sip, and his voice returned to his usual cold voice.

"Maybe I am just a piece of his heart, but even if it is just a piece, it is definitely the biggest piece."

"Are you so confident?"

"We can verify this."

"How to verify?"

"For example... as long as I ask, he will definitely accompany me home today."

"you……!"

Reba was choked and speechless, her glass-like eyes filled with resentment.

"I don't know what the situation is between you and him, and of course, I don't want to know."

"If you have the power to take him away from me, that's your charm."

"Of course, I don't mind him having a treat once in a while."

The last light words made Reba's face change completely.

"Are you so confident that you can always firmly occupy the place in his heart?"

Reba was already confused and was making her final struggle.

"You still don't know him well enough. If you think that you can make him focus on you just by relying on your fame and looks, then I advise you to give up as soon as possible."

"Besides, I've already met his parents."

Chen Duling spoke in a calm tone and completed the final kill.

Reba's face had a complicated expression, which changed for a while before returning to normal.

She exhaled lightly, raised her eyes and looked directly at Chen Duling across from her: "You just knew him earlier. No one can predict what will happen in the future. Let's wait and see."

"and……"

Reba glanced at Tian Xiwei, Zhang Ruonan and others not far away.

"Are you sure you can hold them?"

Chen Duling followed her gaze and glanced at her, her expression indifferent: "Don't bother with that."

"I won't give up on him. We'll have to wait and see who will stand by his side in the end."

Reba looked at Chen Duling deeply, then stood up and walked away swayingly.

She didn't expect that this girl, who was one year younger than her, could have such a calm aura.

Perhaps, it was Lin Li who gave her the confidence?
Many people around had been paying attention to what the two were doing. When they saw Reba walking away, everyone started gossiping about what the two had talked about.

Tian Xiwei's eyes flickered. Seeing Reba walking away, she took a deep breath and went straight to Chen Duling.

She also wants to verify something!
