This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 453 I don't like coming either!
Sheng Xie is notorious in the industry. He has acted in a large number of dramas, and some of his dramas were plagiarized, which ended with a court ruling that the plagiarism was committed.

Prior to this, he had insisted that he had not plagiarized, and finally reluctantly issued an apology on Weibo.

Sheng Xie's favorite thing to do is to engage in various forms of online marketing and he is considered a relatively active director on the internet.

At this moment, Sheng Xie was toasting and drinking at the table.

This is their private gathering after the awards ceremony.

At the dinner table, both the female and male leads of "A Dream of Qiongxiao" were present, playing the role of decorative figures.

In addition, renowned director Xu Gaomin is also here.

"Director Sheng, the netizens' criticism is very strong."

"Can Director Sheng hold on?"

People seem to care, but in reality, they are all indifferent.

Netizens are criticizing?
Who here hasn't been criticized by netizens?

This is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning. It doesn't matter whether netizens criticize it or not. The key is whether you can handle interpersonal relationships well and manage these celebrities well. There's plenty of money to be made.

Sheng Xie, who was fair-skinned and wore glasses, said with a smile, "Isn't this all within our expectations? What's the big deal? Could Lu Ran really overturn the Golden Tripod Award?"

The audience burst into laughter.

Lu Ran exposed the Huaqu Awards because the Huaqu Awards themselves were no longer good.

With so many investors behind the Golden Tripod Award, it would be difficult for Lu Ran to even lift one of them off the ground.

Sheng Xie continued, "It's a good opportunity to promote my new drama as well."

Sheng Xie took out his phone and edited a Weibo post.

"Thank you to netizens for your attention to 'A Dream of Qiongxiao,' and thank you to the Golden Tripod Awards jury for awarding us the Best Web Series Award. This is an affirmation of the artistic pursuits of the entire production team. Regarding some of the criticisms, I would like to clarify:"
The script for "A Dream of Qiongxiao" was polished over three years, and the filming took place in multiple locations. Our goal is to integrate traditional fantasy aesthetics with modern values, rather than relying on shortcuts from a single scene.

The Golden Tripod Awards are jointly overseen by the China Television Drama Association, four major television networks, and a professional judging panel. Their criteria not only consider data but also the cultural significance and industrial sophistication of the works. It is understandable that some short-sighted projects may find this difficult to grasp.

Viewers have the right to express their preferences, but it is the thinking that harms creative freedom if they deny the selection of industry authorities because of their personal preferences.

Finally, I'd like to share a line from the drama, spoken by the young immortal: "It's better to look up and build a magnificent palace in the heavens than to bow down and listen to the clamor of ants." Please pay close attention to my new drama, "Three Yangs Bring Prosperity."

Sheng Xie wrote the entire Weibo post in one go, and immediately clicked send after editing it.

He excels at writing microblogs.

This buzz is a good thing; it can also be a good opportunity to promote the new drama.

This is Shengxie's usual tactic.

This time, Xu Gaomin wanted to target Lu Ran and remove the award from "The Beginning," and Sheng Xie immediately volunteered to take the blame.

That's exactly the kind of buzz we're after.

On Weibo, netizens felt so angry after seeing Sheng Xie's post that they felt like their breasts and prostates were about to burst.

"This person is shameless!"

"What do you mean by a single scenario, or quick and easy? Isn't this just talking about the beginning?"

"Don't you know how garbage your own dramas are?"

"I'm so angry! I want to yell at you, but I'm afraid of giving you more attention!"

"Everyone, stop cursing him. He's just deliberately asking for it."

Seeing Sheng Xie's nonchalant attitude, netizens were completely at a loss.

Everyone rushed towards Lu Ran's side.

"Director Lu is in your hands now. Unleash your superpowers! I want to see Sheng Xie kicked out of the entertainment industry!"

"Director Lu, I didn't mean to cause trouble, but can you really tolerate this?"

"This isn't a matter of whether you can tolerate it or not, Director Lu. Watching these people frolicking in the entertainment industry, how can you face your beliefs? Are you still a member of the people's cultural corps?"

The comments section in Lu Ran's backend is in an uproar again.

He never had any hope for the Golden Tripod Award.

If the Chinese Music Awards have fallen to such a state, what conscience can we expect from the Golden Tripod Awards?
This award has been criticized for more than just this year.

The company also handled the application for the Golden Tripod Award; the idea was just to give it a try.

Lu Ran also did not attend the awards ceremony.

He scrolled through Weibo and saw what Sheng Xie had just posted. Sheng Xie's Weibo post had also been reposted by a group of directors and producers in the industry.

"Support Director Sheng!"

"There's no need to question the Golden Tripod Award!"

"Don't let the voices of fans hijack professional awards."

Following these reposts, people from Shengxie's side also started arguing with netizens.

In addition to being a director, Sheng Xie is also the owner of Huaxia Jingrui Entertainment, which manages many artists.

After these popular celebrities take sides, their fans follow suit.

Looking at these Weibo posts, Lu Ran finally understood.

This group of people doesn't care at all about the audience's insults.

Not awarding "The Beginning" is clearly a way for Xu Gaomin and his circle to exclude him.

Public opinion and audience reviews are irrelevant to them.

Once the hype dies down, the songs will still be released, the dances will still be performed, and people will still buy tickets for the new dramas.

"This industry is completely rotten."

Upon seeing this, Lu Ran immediately called Li Quan.

"Brother Quan, can we please stop submitting our dramas to the Golden Tripod Awards from now on?"

Li Quan hesitated.

The biggest difference between film and television dramas and songs lies in the creative team.

To put it simply, a song can be created, produced, and finally released by one person.

However, film and television dramas are inevitably the result of a team effort, not something that one person can handle alone.

If you don't participate in the selection, it doesn't matter to you as the boss, but what about the other actors and the rest of the crew?

They want the award, don't they?
"You can choose not to participate in the Golden Tripod Awards, but in the future, some actors who want to win awards may not be willing to act in our dramas."

Li Quan explained the pros and cons involved.

It's not just the director who wants to win the award; it's the whole group of people behind him.

"okay, I get it."

Lu Ran called Meng Yichuan again, and talked about the same thing.

Meng Yichuan cursed as soon as Lu Ran finished speaking: "Damn it, fine if you don't want to run for office, then don't run! I got a real lesson from these people at the ceremony today, they were so dirty!"

Meng Yichuan was furious.

This award doesn't really have any impact on him at the moment.

It depends on whether you want the approval of the award jury or the approval of the audience.

Meng Yichuan wanted the latter.

Afterwards, Lu Ran called Liu Dayong again.

Liu Dayong laughed and said, "Why would I participate in the Golden Tripod Awards? My plays are submitted to national awards, so you don't need to worry about it. If you don't want to go to the Golden Tripod Awards, you don't have to. I understand how you feel."

After communicating with these people, Lu Ran understood what was going on in his mind.

What he wants is the audience's approval.

I'd rather not have this award!
Lu Ran opened Weibo, edited a message, and posted it.

"The north wind is biting, and the fog is thick. The withered grass is wild and tangled, making it hard to distinguish between roadside inns and pavilions."

Plum blossoms, like cut flowers, exude a desolate beauty beyond the wall. The icy sky is like a jade masonry, the silver branches like powdered jade. Pushing aside the brocade quilt, I tread upon the white snow, opening my eyes to a wider world, no longer feigning innocence. Having traversed rivers and mountains, I return on my donkey, and even after composing poetry and drinking wine, the world still feels too small.

The wind rustles through the bamboo at dawn, and the moon casts shadows on the jade steps as it moves among the flowers.

A sense of tranquility fills my heart, yet I sigh that life is but a fleeting illusion, consumed by fame and fortune. I'll open my drunken eyes slightly, and let your rise and fall, your success and failure, remain untouched.

At the end of this Weibo post, Lu Ran added one more sentence.

"Starting today, all films and television dramas I have participated in producing will no longer be eligible for the Golden Tripod Award!"

I'm not playing with you guys anymore, you can't afford to play!
