Chapter 392 Misfortune (24)

This year's Golden Eagle Awards will determine the Golden Eagle Goddess entirely based on audience votes…

Shi Shi is leading by a landslide!
Second is Tang Yan, then Zheng Shuang, Yang Mi…

"Chinese Paladin", "The Vigilantes in Masks", "Lotus Pavilion", "Love Through a Millennium", and "Xuan-Yuan Sword"—five hits in a row, their popularity unmatched…

Especially since "Xuan-Yuan Sword" is still airing!

The Golden Eagle Awards, at least for now, are quite fair... they really do rely on public voting, unlike later on...

Various outrageous tactics.

By the way, Shen Yan should also win an award this year—"Lotus Pavilion," "Love Through a Millennium," and "Battle of Changsha" are all blockbusters.

This year also saw the Hundred Flowers Awards, where he was nominated for Best Actor for his role in "Our Times".

However, I vaguely remember that the award this year went to Wen Zhang…

Never mind, we'll see later!
The September film market is a battleground of titans, featuring four Hollywood blockbusters and "White Deer Plain"...

Originally, "White Deer Plain" was also intended to be released during the National Day holiday, but after looking at the other movies on the market...

Forget it!

This year's National Day film season is really crowded.

"The Assassins," "Tai Chi: From Zero to Hero," "Dangerous Liaisons," "Double Exposure," and "The Big Shot," and I heard there's also a portion of the film "Looper"...

The novel *White Deer Plain* cost over 100 million yuan to make, but it was adapted into *The Legend of Tian Xiao'e*...

The distributor lacks confidence in securing a spot in the National Day holiday film season!

Well, after *White Deer Plain*, director Wang Quan'an completely flopped…

Later, they could only rely on foreign funding to make some low-budget independent films, such as "Dinosaur Egg"...

Zhang Yuqi's attempt to steal a chicken ended up losing the rice instead!
After all, those who make independent films don't have much money.

However, she was also content—with Wang Quan'an by her side, they did everything they were supposed to do, and had a great time.

Oh, Shen Yan's previous mention of 'one billion yuan in box office revenue' has also been reported...

Many film studios were dissatisfied…

But Shen Yan never made a mistake...

He'll only underestimate the box office figures he predicts!
If he says 1 billion, then it's very possible that it could break 1 billion!

But the movie's release date has already been set, so we can't just back out, can we?
People still care about saving face...

……

After a 12-hour flight, the film crew arrived at Beijing International Airport.

Once on the bus, Shen Yan gave a brief instruction:
"Everyone, get some rest tonight, we'll continue filming tomorrow... By the way, Lu Yang, is everything ready for 'Blind Witness'?"

Lu Yang nodded: "That's about it..."

"Okay, turn it on..."

"The Big Shot will be doing promotions soon!"

"I forgot," Shen Yan said, a little embarrassed, "...Then let's start filming in mid-October..."

The casting for "Blind Witness" is complete, including Shi Shi, Hu Ge, Wang Jingchun, and Zhang Yishan!
To be honest, I didn't initially want to cast Zhang Yishan, but his audition performance was just too good...

Even Shishi was swayed...

I've decided on him!

Huang Xiaoming interjected, "Director, does your company have a new project?"

Shen Yan nodded: "Yes, our studios aren't far apart, so we'll call everyone over to discuss any creative ideas we have..."

Xiao Ming immediately replied, "I will let you know if there is a suitable role."

"Definitely," Shen Yan smiled, "Brother Xiaoming, Brother Chao, and Brother Dawei are all excellent actors, and I will definitely need to continue to trouble them in the future!"

It wasn't just polite talk.

They should continue to cooperate.

After all, everyone got along quite well after working on the show together.

However, it's unlikely that Huang Xiaoming will be cast as the lead...

His filmography is so bad that it's starting to drive away audiences...

Deng Chao is alright...

Tong Dawei…

Wow, with so many people, we could totally make a movie called "Making a Name for Themselves"!

They could film it in any big villa. Deng Chao would play Li Jiahui, Huang Xiaoming would play Qi Leshan, and Tong Dawei would play Zheng Qianli…

Chen Xiaoda, Guan Jingnian, Lu Ziye, Dahai…

Wu Jing, Wu Mengda…

Lu Ziye then looked for... Chen Baoguo or Zhang Guoli.

He can handle the ocean himself!

As for Su Mengdie…

Shi Shi has two dramas on hand, "Blind Witness" and "Northeast Lover," so she probably won't have time to film this one!

Then let Nini play the role…

However, it's not easy to get them to make another one, since their schedule has already been booked!

Forget it, let's finish filming "American Dreams in China" first...

……

At the hotel, Shen Yan checked Weibo...

Good heavens, Yang Mi and Shi Shi's fans are almost at each other's throats!
After all, the Golden Eagle Goddess and the Most Popular Actress awards still depend on voting.

Fans also know that when it comes to acting skills, the two of them are not even worthy of being called contestants.

Therefore, the Most Popular Actress award, also known as the Golden Eagle Award, depends on the quality of the works produced.

Last year's winners were Hai Qing, Yan Ni, Yao Chen...

Hai Qing won the Crystal Cup!
Generally, the crystal glass and the gold glass are held by the same person...

Anyway, the crystal glasses were eventually discontinued!

The award is only for actresses who are most popular with the audience.

In the original timeline, Yang Mi's year was a bit special. In previous years, four actresses would win the Golden Eagle Award each year, and then one of them would be chosen to receive the Crystal Cup, which was the Best Actress award. However, Yang Mi's year was an exception; she didn't win the Golden Cup, but only the Crystal Cup.

Later, the Golden Eagle Award only had one gold cup!

Returning to Weibo, neither Shi Shi nor Yang Mi have received any formal television drama awards since their debut…

Both of them have a chance to win an award at this year's Golden Eagle Awards...

The fans will definitely start a fight!
In the original timeline, the conflict was even more intense, spreading directly from Baidu Tieba to Weibo…

Seeing that she had no chance of winning the Golden Eagle Goddess award, Yang Mi decided to stir up trouble and campaign for her best friend Tang Yan...

Unfortunately, they still lost to the little lion!
Shishi's fans are mainly concentrated in Tieba—she claims to have a million loyal fans, more than three million followers, and over one hundred million posts!

The Golden Eagle Goddess title is practically guaranteed!

As for the Best Actress award…

It'll probably still go to Yang Mi.

As for Tang Yan…

It's definitely at the bottom of the list. Although it has "Scarlet Heart", it has too many bad dramas and doesn't air on Hunan TV much.

Most importantly... "Xuan-Yuan Sword" tricked her.

The promised female lead has pitifully little screen time!
After this drama, Tang Yan never worked with Tangren Media again.

I was browsing Weibo when Shishi walked in looking gloomy…

Shen Yan: "What's wrong?"

"The novel *Ballad of the Desert* failed to pass censorship..."

"I told you long ago, Cai Yinong doesn't listen to me at all!"

"Stop making sarcastic remarks, Old Cai is almost frantic with worry!"

Shen Yan asked in confusion, "Tangren is out of money?"

“Yes,” Shi Shi nodded, “The production of ‘Ballad of the Desert’ cost tens of millions of yuan. It was originally agreed that it would be sold to Hunan TV… but now it won’t pass the review, so it can’t be sold to any other channel!”

After a pause, Shi Shi added, "I heard that the investors have a lot of opinions about Lao Cai!"

"Nonsense, why choose to film 'Ballad of the Desert' when there are so many other IPs available? Fine, film it if you want, but why try to get on the train first and buy the ticket later... Kenton will be made an example of!"

Oh, in the original timeline, Tangren Media produced "Scarlet Heart 2" in two months, but it was rejected by Hunan TV because of its poor quality and sold to Zhejiang TV instead...

The signboard is missing!
The key issue is that even after "Ballad of the Desert" was renamed "The Legend of the Wind," it didn't do very well on air...

They were unable to create another hit product after that.

Completely Flop…
