The Golden Luan Awards was one of the two major domestic TV awards. In terms of scale and influence, in the past decade, the Golden Luan Awards had surpassed the older Yulan Awards to become the number one domestic TV awards.
Unlike the Yulan Awards, which was heavily influenced by the government, the Golden Luan Awards were the only national TV awards that were approved by the relevant government departments and voted on by the audience. To a large extent, they represented the direction and trends of the TV industry in the past year.
As last year's number one urban TV series, it was inconceivable that Full House of Romance would not be nominated for the Golden Luan Awards. This made Lu Chen, who didn't pay much attention to the Golden Luan Awards, angry and confused. He carefully read through the entertainment news.
The content of the news was very long. First, it mentioned that the biennial Golden Luan Awards would be announced at the end of the month, but the name of last year's popular TV series, Full House of Romance, was not on the list.
Based on this insider information, the reporters analyzed and guessed that the reason why "Full House of Romance" had not been nominated for the Golden Luan Awards was the same as why "Autumn in My Heart" had only received two nominations for the Yulan Awards last year.
The basic purpose of the two major TV awards was that domestic TV series should follow the direction of positive energy. They needed to promote social justice, promote the values of the new era, and increase national confidence and cohesion. They should not judge the quality and value of a work based on the ratings!
It wasn't just Autumn and Full House of Romance. Other urban TV series, idol dramas, comedies, and so on, which had good ratings, did not have much success in the two awards.
In the end, the reporter expressed his regret that Full House of Romance did not get nominated for the Golden Luan Awards. He hoped that the final results would change so that romantic idol dramas could also get on the stage.
The article had only been published for a little over an hour, but there were already over 5000 comments.
"What's the Golden Luan Awards? Never heard of it. "— This comment received over 1000 likes and was at the top of the list.
"I've been represented again!" — 789 likes and was at the second place.
"It's understandable that the Yulan Awards didn't talk about the ratings. After all, it's a government award. If the Golden Luan Awards followed suit, then what's the point of having the audience vote? Why not just decide on the award? "
"Haha, the person above makes it sound like the Golden Luan Awards isn't decided."
"It doesn't matter if it wins or not. It's enough as long as the ratings are high. What's the point?"
"There are so many jealous people. I think this is the right way!"
"Holy sh * t, last time it was the Yulan Awards, and this time it's the Golden Luan Awards. Lu Chen is really being suppressed!"
"It's hard to say if it's suppression, but it's true that it's boring."
"I don't care, I don't pay attention …"
Among these comments, most of them were dissatisfied with the Golden Luan Awards. There were also some who felt that it was unfair for Full of Romance. There were also a few who were probably Lu Chen's fans who were so indignant that they directly scolded the awards.
Lu Chen didn't finish reading the long comment section. After a few minutes, he closed the webpage.
He asked Lu Xi, "What do you think?"
Lu Xi shook her head and said, "I haven't heard anything yet, so I can't confirm the authenticity of the news."
"Actually, even if it's true, it doesn't matter. We don't need this award!"
When Lu Xi first saw this news, she also felt very angry. It was a clear rule that urban idol dramas didn't have any competition in the two awards. It was normal for them to not be liked by the judges, but it didn't even get a nomination. That was really too much.
Full of Romance's ratings in 2016 could be said to be superior to its peers, and it even won first place in the ratings in Korea. The Golden Luan Awards committee ignored the results of this drama. Weren't they afraid of being scolded?
But then again, among the domestic pop music, television drama, and movie awards, the Yulan Awards and the Golden Luan Awards had the least influence. In the past, the two awards had a lot of dirty secrets, such as pre-determined awards, voting fraud, and so on. There had always been a lot of controversy in the industry.
It might not be a bad thing for Full of Romance not to get involved in this mess.
In addition, whether this news was true or not still needed to be verified, so there was no need to get angry over it.
His sister was afraid that Lu Chen would be depressed and angry, so she comforted him a few more words.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "If there's nothing, then there's nothing. We have enough things to do, there's no need to …"
* Ring ring ring *
Before he finished speaking, the phone on his desk rang.
Lu Xi gestured to Lu Chen and then picked up the phone. "Hello, Chenfei Media."
"Well, yes, what's the matter?"
"Ah, I haven't heard of this matter yet. I don't know the situation, so I can't comment."
"I'm really sorry, it's not convenient for us to accept interviews for the time being."
"Thank you, goodbye!"
After talking for a while, Lu Xi put down the phone and said, "It's a reporter from Entertainment Express. It's about the Golden Luan Awards."
"He wanted to interview you, but I refused."
Lu Chen nodded.
At first, he was also very angry, but after reading the online report, his mood calmed down. Whether or not Full of Romance could get a nomination for the Golden Luan Awards in the end, it would not affect the status of this TV series in the industry.
Not to mention anything else, Xiangjiang Satellite TV and ATV had offered a very high price for this TV series. They would not care about the Golden Luan Awards or the Yulan Awards. In the end, it was the results that spoke.
Whether it was being suppressed or being ignored, maintaining a normal mind could go further in the film and television industry.
It was also right not to accept interviews from reporters. Those reporters who wanted to see the world in chaos hoped that the two sides would fight because of this and make up news like "Lu Chen bombards the Golden Luan Awards" to attract attention.
It was too stupid to expect them to report fairly and impartially. Entertainment reporters were best at taking things out of context and even fabricating news, and they were very willing to go to court — it was so disgusting that it could disgust you to death!
* Ring ring *
The phone on the desk rang again. Not only that, but two of Lu Xi's mobile phones rang at the same time. For a time, the general manager's office was constantly ringing, and it became extremely noisy.
There was no doubt that those entertainment reporters must have called after getting the news. Lu Xi was probably annoyed.
Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Go on with your work. I'm going back to work. I haven't finished the script!"
After saying that, he hurriedly slipped away, leaving his sister in the office overwhelmed and battered.
Returning to his office, Lu Chen asked his assistant to bring him a cup of coffee.
Although the script of "You from the Star" had been completed, there were still many contents that needed to be revised and corrected.
He quickly put the matter of the Golden Luan Awards behind him.
However, things were not that simple.
