This man knows how to hype

Chapter 320 Feitian Award

Talk about it.

Anyone who is seriously engaged in the cultural industry should want their works to be exported and achieve good results abroad.

But the problem is that some things are just jokes, just like "sports has nothing to do with politics" and "Switzerland is a neutral country".

Therefore, he sighed and said, "Mr. Hu, I can consider the international market for my work, that's fine. But the problem is that the anti-us sentiment abroad is so high now, can our work be exported?"

"Someone has to do it. If you don't do it, I don't do it, and no one does it, then there will never be any hope."

"Excuse me, but what does this foreign country refer to?"

"To be precise, they are France, Serbia, Russia, Hungary, Southeast Asia and some African countries." Hu Ningtian directly pointed out several countries.

Hearing this, Xu Xiyu nodded thoughtfully.

Except for France, which is a little difficult to deal with, the other countries have always had a good relationship with China. But it's still okay, because the cultural influence of the United States is too great.

To put it bluntly, the world environment now is one of comprehensive competition between China and the United States.

However, the right to speak in public opinion is in the hands of others, and the situation of Chinese works abroad is much more difficult than before.

However, Xu Xiyu still agreed with Hu Ningtian's words. If you don't do it, I don't do it, and no one does it, then it will never be done.

Sometimes, you have to have fun even if it's just for yourself.

Because only when the economy is booming can the domestic market support some excellent companies, and only when these companies survive can there be a possibility of development.

If you can't even get excited yourself, there's no way you can expect others to be excited by the atmosphere.

Academician Ding Zhongli said it well: "Are Chinese people human beings?"

If it were people, how could something supported by 14 billion people not be considered mainstream?

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said, "We have approved three films this time. Except for the comedy targeting the mainland, which may not achieve the expected effect due to cultural differences, the other two can be sent abroad."

The copyright of "Infernal Affairs" was bought by Hollywood and won an Oscar, so foreigners should be able to feel the charm of its story.

And "The Intouchables" is simply a French movie, so there will be no problem in giving it away.

Of course, this is definitely not enough.

However, Xu Xiyu does not plan to add any more film projects in the short term as he is simply too busy to handle them all.

Therefore, he added: "I will try to come up with a TV series that has our core story and can be understood by foreign audiences."

"That's great, but I'm just giving you a suggestion. It's up to you to decide how to proceed. Don't let my words disrupt your rhythm.

We must not rush, this is a protracted war, and we will definitely not see results in one or two years. Now, we still have to give priority to taking care of domestic audiences. "Hu Ningtian reminded.

"For me, no matter now or in the future, domestic audiences will always come first. This is the foundation." Xu Xiyu smiled cheerfully.

"Hahahaha, okay, as long as you know it." Hu Ningtian laughed.

After talking about this matter, the two chatted about something else, and then Hu Ningtian left.

Come to think of it, he had originally wanted to have dinner with Xu Xiyu and invite his sister along.

But after seeing Xu Xiyu in person, he instantly gave up the idea.

He had always thought that the camera made Xu Xiyu look handsome. But today he discovered that this guy was not photogenic at all and was much more handsome in person than on the screen.

It’s better to let my sister have less contact with him in the future.

Xu Xiyu naturally didn't know that Hu Ningtian had the idea of ​​"preventing yellow-haired people" in his mind again.

In fact, he hadn't met Hu Ningwei for a long time. They usually just chatted on WeChat, and they were still several steps away from having an affair.

Just like that, more than 10 minutes after Hu Ningtian left, Yang Xueqing knocked on the door and came in.

After entering, she closed the door and went directly behind Xu Xiyu. While massaging his shoulders, she said in a tender voice, "You are not satisfied with several scripts, but we can't just sit there doing nothing, right?"

"It's not a question of whether you're free or not. The sign for Xuejian TV Series has just been half-put up. You can't tear it down, can you?" Xu Xiyu closed his eyes.

Yang Xueqing wants to start a new TV drama project, and Xu Xiyu has been writing the scripts for "The Richest Man in Xihong City", "Infernal Affairs" and "The Intouchables" some time ago.

So, let her get the script herself and come over to take a look.

After all, Xu Xiyu is not so arrogant as to think that all the screenwriters on Blue Star are rubbish. Maybe he will receive gold?
But what she never expected was that Yang Xueqing gave Xu Xiyu a solid and vivid lesson.

Although it is impossible that all the screenwriters on Blue Star are garbage, Yang Xueqing seems to be standing on a garbage dump. The scripts she received are so disgusting.

"What should I do? Should I continue collecting?" Yang Xueqing said as she hugged Xu Xiyu's neck.

Moreover, he kept bumping into people with the ball, which made Xu Xiyu unable to help but say, "This is an office, please be careful about the impact, okay?"

"It doesn't matter what the impact is. Xinbao is guarding outside and no one will come in." Yang Xueqing said, her hands starting to get naughty.

This month, Xu Xiyu has been so busy that Yang Xueqing is really frustrated.

But Xu Xiyu's mind is full of things right now, how could he be in the mood for this?
He grabbed Yang Xueqing's mischievous hand and said, "Hey, is the Feitian Award about to start?"

"Yes, 'Storm' has already been submitted for review, and it will take about half a month."

“Do you have hope?”

"Me? There's definitely no hope. Not only me, but Zhang Wenyan also probably has no hope." Yang Xueqing shook her head.

"Zhang Wenyan also has no role, why? Wasn't his acting good enough?" Xu Xiyu was a little surprised, and instinctively began to think about whether Zhang Songwen had won any awards, but he really couldn't remember. "It has nothing to do with how well he acted, his acting style is not right. How do you want the award speech to be written? Write about his vivid interpretation of a gangster's legendary and regretful life?
Awards like the Feitian Award and the Magnolia Award are somewhat special in nature. If he really wants to win, he has to go to the National Drama Awards or something like Weibo Night. "Yang Xueqing explained.

The acting style she talks about is not a question of whether she is a villain or not.

There are many actors who have won awards for playing villains, but the character of Gao Qiqiang was indeed not right. Even though Xu Xiyu made some changes, it was still not right.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said, "What about Dong Xiaojiang? He should be able to win it, and he also acted well. There should be no problem with the role of An Xin."

Hearing this, Yang Xueqing smiled and said, "If Dong Xiaojiang can get it, then you can get it too, and it's two awards, one for best screenwriter and one for best TV series.

If he doesn’t get it, then you certainly won’t get it either, which proves that the judges have other considerations and feel that the subject matter and model of “The Sturm und Drang” cannot be encouraged.”

After hearing this, Xu Xiyu couldn't help scratching his head.

He didn't think that Yang Xueqing was talking nonsense. She was also an "old hand in the entertainment industry" and knew some things very well.

In matters like this, it makes more sense to trust her judgment than to refer to experience on Earth.

This is Blue Star after all, and the market preferences are similar, but there must be differences in the rules of certain things.

However, Xu Xiyu was not too disappointed.

For him, success in the market has already achieved his expected goal. It would be best if he could win an award, but there is nothing he can do if he can't.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiyu said, "So should I go for this Feitian Award or not?"

"They will announce the list of nominees in advance, and it seems to be today. If you don't have any nominations, then you really don't have to go. However, actors are still better off going, walking the red carpet is a good thing."

Xu Xiyu nodded when he heard this, and then asked casually: "Do you want to win the award?"

"You're asking that question. Who among actors doesn't want to?" Yang Xueqing said coquettishly, "Why, you want to get one for me? If so, I'll do whatever you want~~"

"Oh my god, I have goose bumps. Please speak carefully." Xu Xiyu looked like he was constipated.

Yang Xueqing looked up and laughed: "Hahahaha, actually I don't care. For me, my pursuit is to make the TV series sell well and become a big boss in the industry."

She really doesn't care about awards as much as Lu Qinyao. Lu Qinyao wants to be a famous actor and singer; she wants to be capital.

Therefore, she got back to the point and said, "Boss, financial sponsor, major shareholder! Have you finished writing the movie script? Can you write a TV series for me? I want to press on with my success!"

"It's almost done. Give me some time to think about it carefully." After communicating with Hu Ningtian just now, Xu Xiyu felt that he needed to think about it carefully.

"Make a movie that sells well and wins awards."

"You just open your mouth and say that. Besides, didn't you just say that you don't care about the award?" Xu Xiyu was amused.

"I don't care, but a lot of actors under our management do care. If we promote them, the profits of the agency sector will be high." Yang Xueqing said as a matter of course.

"Makes sense."

"Also, the male and female protagonists need to be younger. 'Rampage' is good in every way except that it lacks young actors."

"Young actors, do you have any favorites?"

"Yes, there is one. He is from our company, Li Qiyang, who just turned 20. He is from Beijing Film Academy and is a junior. Although he is not as handsome as you, he is not bad either, and his acting skills are also OK.

Also, the one called Gulixiati, her father is Uyghur and her mother is Han. She has some Uyghur features, but they are not obvious, and the lines on her face are very soft, which makes her look very versatile.

Her image is even better, with long legs, a good waist-to-hip ratio, fair skin, and a curvy figure. Most importantly, she is only 19 years old, a freshman at the Central Academy of Drama, and has a 10-year contract.

"Pfft~~Hahahaha, no, can you explain to me what do you mean by hook and dip?" Xu Xiyu really couldn't hold it anymore.

"I don't understand either. I always hear them say that. Anyway, it means it's beautiful. Really, you should have seen it."

"I have indeed seen her. I saw her in Xinyi last year." Xu Xiyu recalled that Gulixiati was indeed very beautiful.

"Oh~~ I knew you would let go of such a beautiful girl." Yang Xueqing glanced at him, and then came up to hug Xu Xiyu and said, "But you can't forget your old love just because you have a new one."

"You have some serious stuff in your head. I haven't even said anything to her. What new love or old love?"

"I do not believe."

"Believe it or not." Xu Xiyu was too lazy to argue with her and changed the subject. "But I think what you said makes sense. We should promote new talents. Besides, one TV series is not enough."

As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Xueqing became visibly excited.

She knew that she had made a movie called "Storm" from last year to now, which was just a test of the waters.

Now that the water test is over, it’s time to really start exerting our strength.

Thinking of this, she was about to speak when she heard a knock on the door.

Following Xu Xiyu's "Come in", Shan Xinbao pushed the door open and said, "Boss, the Feitian Awards Organizing Committee called and invited you and the other creators of "Kuang Biu" to attend the Feitian Awards together."

"Is the list of nominees out?"

"Yes." Shan Xinbao nodded.

"How many nominations did we get?" Xu Xiyu asked curiously.

"8."

"How many?!" Yang Xueqing asked in surprise, "No, there are only five Feitian Awards, where do the eight nominations come from?"
