Xiao Yunhai took out his mobile phone and dialed Jiang Chengdong, the person in charge of the new Hua Xia Cinemas.
"Director Xiao, congratulations on winning the Golden Goblet Best Actor and Best Director."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Thank you. Director Jiang, I'm calling you because I want you to do something for me. "
Jiang Chengdong said, "Director Xiao, just say it. I'll do my best to complete it."
Ever since the establishment of the new Hua Xia Cinemas, Xiao Yunhai had never asked Jiang Chengdong to do anything for him. Now that he finally had this opportunity, Jiang Chengdong naturally had to perform well.
A cold light flashed in Xiao Yunhai's eyes. "I want you to ban Cao Dingzhong. In the future, all his films must not be released in the new Hua Xia Cinemas. Can you do it? "
Although Jiang Chengdong didn't know what had happened, he knew that Cao Dingzhong must have offended Xiao Yunhai. Otherwise, with Xiao Yunhai's character, he wouldn't do this.
"Director Xiao, I understand. I'll give the order now. At the same time, inform the other cinemas. I believe they will give us this face. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded with satisfaction. "Very good. By the way, how's the situation in the cinemas now? "
Jiang Chengdong smiled bitterly. "It's very bad. We don't have many films left. Many cinemas in the city are showing the same film. The attendance is pitifully low. If this continues, we won't be able to make ends meet in less than three days. The other cinemas aren't any better. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "These movie companies have really steeled their hearts. What did Director Yu and Director Hu say? "
Jiang Chengdong said, "Originally, Director Yu and Director Hu were discussing and preparing to agree to the demands of those film companies. But this afternoon, they suddenly received a call saying that the officials in charge of the cultural industry from Europe and America and Asia will come to Hua Xia tomorrow for a negotiation. So, they didn't make a move for the time being. They want to wait for the results of the negotiation."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright, do as you see fit."
When he returned home, Zhao Wanqing was already asleep while Yan Piaoyun was watching TV in the living room.
These days were the most important time. Zhao Wanqing couldn't leave her side, so Yan Piaoyun had been living in the couple's villa.
Seeing Xiao Yunhai return, Yan Piaoyun went to her room to rest.
Xiao Yunhai turned on his computer and clicked on the entertainment news website. It was all about Hua Xia's Golden Bottle International Film Festival.
"Top celebrities from home and abroad have gathered in Golden Bottle. Their lineup is not inferior to the Oscars."
"Mo Kaixuan had no harvest and complained that the Golden Goblet Council was unfair."
"'Infernal Affairs' has achieved total victory. The Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Director awards have been secured in succession."
"Yun Huang has been slapped in the face. He lost the Best Screenplay Award that he was most confident in winning."
"Xiao Yunhai won the Best Actor and Best Director awards consecutively, but he was questioned by Mo Kaixuan and Cao Dingzhong.
.....
After watching the news for a while, Xiao Yunhai found the video of Mo Kaixuan and Cao Dingzhong being interviewed.
"Mr. Cao, at the awards ceremony, when Mr. Xiao won the Best Actor award, your expression didn't seem to be good. Why? Is it because you're not convinced? "
Cao Dingzhong didn't hide his thoughts at all and said, "That's right. Of course I'm not happy that he lost the title of Best Actor. I've seen Mr. Xiao's' Infernal Affairs'. Although his acting is not bad, it still seems to be a distance away from the standard of Best Actor. If his acting skills become more refined in a few years, it won't be a problem for him to win this award. It's a little too early now. "
When the reporters heard this, their eyes lit up. They crowded around each other and almost stuffed microphones into Cao Dingzhong's mouth.
"Mr. Xiao has been praised by countless Best Actors. They say that his acting skills have reached a godly level. Only Teacher Liang Hui can compete with Hua Xia. What do you think? "
Cao Dingzhong's mouth twitched slightly and said, "That's for publicity. A 25-year-old actor, no matter how talented he is, can't reach this level. "
"Then do you think your acting skills are better than Mr. Xiao's? Should the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor be given to you? "
When the reporters saw Cao Dingzhong spouting nonsense, they naturally wouldn't let go of this rare opportunity and asked very directly.
"That's right. I think the one who should win the Best Actor award is Mr. Cao Dingzhong."
Accompanied by a loud and clear voice, Mo Kaixuan appeared in front of the reporters.
"Director Mo, are you saying that the Golden Goblet Award Committee was a little unfair in choosing the Best Actor?"
Mo Kaixuan said bluntly, "That's right. Especially in the Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Film awards. I think our 'Jing Ke Assassinates Qin' should have a place. Unfortunately, we didn't get anything. If I were the judges, I would definitely choose Mr. Cao Dingzhong, who played Ying Zheng, to win the Best Actor award. "
Cao Dingzhong quickly said humbly, "Director Mo, you're too kind. In my heart, you're the real Best Director. "
After that, many reporters asked a lot of questions, and Mo Kaixuan and Cao Dingzhong answered them one by one. Their words showed that they were very dissatisfied with Xiao Yunhai's award.
After watching the video, Xiao Yunhai sneered and said, "Neither of them is good. They're both jackals of the same tribe. For the Golden Goblet Award, they actually dared to talk nonsense in front of the reporters. Do they really think I'm a Bodhisattva in the temple who won't get angry? "
When he clicked on his homepage, there were already countless posts congratulating him on winning the award in the comment section.
"Congratulations to Yun Huang. Congratulations to Yun Huang for winning the Best Actor and Best Director awards at the Golden Goblet Awards."
"Yun Huang deserves the award."
"If you ask me, the Golden Goblet Awards are too unfair. The Best Film and Best Screenplay awards should be given to Yun Huang."
"I think so too. It's intolerable that 'Infernal Affairs' didn't win the Best Film award. "
"Could it be that the Cloud Emperor was balanced out?"
"It's very possible. After all, this is the first International Golden Goblet Film Festival. If all the awards are given to Yun Huang, people will gossip. "
"Everyone, don't be so indignant. With Yun Huang's identity and status, does he still need these awards to set him off? He doesn't need them at all. "
"The person above is right. I'll give you a thumbs up."
Apart from these, many fans expressed their dissatisfaction with Mo Kaixuan and Cao Dingzhong.
"Who is Cao Dingzhong? Can his role as Emperor Qin be compared to Yun Huang's Chen Yongren?"
"He's already in his forties and only knows how to shoot his mouth. I admit that his role as the Emperor of Qin is not bad, but compared to Yun Huang, there's obviously a gap, okay? Does he really think that we movie fans are blind? "
"The person above must understand that 'Jing Ke Assassinates Qin' did not receive a single award at the awards ceremony tonight. If they don't release a sensational piece of news, where will they put their face?"
"But they can't fire at our Yun Huang. Mo Kaixuan is known as the Nation's Preceptor. His bearing is really disappointing. "
"Compared to Yun Huang, Mo Kaixuan is already old. After resting for five years, it's obvious that he can't keep up with the times. If he doesn't say something, I'm afraid everyone will forget about him. "
"Both of them are narrow-minded people. They've lived for forty to fifty years in vain."
"If they want to win an award, they have to rely on their own abilities. What's the use of just talking nonsense there? "
Xiao Yunhai saw that everyone was speaking up for him on the Internet, and the anger in his heart dissipated by more than half. After reading the comments for a while more, he went to his room to rest.
In a private room in a tavern in Beijing, Mo Kaixuan and Cao Dingzhong were drinking.
The two of them had obviously drunk a lot, and their faces were already red.
Cao Dingzhong said, "Director Mo, why do you think the Golden Goblet Film Festival favors Xiao Yunhai so much? I admit that his acting is not bad, but we're not bad either. He's just a twenty-five-year-old young man. In terms of seniority, it's not his turn. "
Mo Kaixuan snorted and said, "Dingzhong, do you think there's nothing fishy about this award ceremony? Even the Oscars can't avoid the unspoken rules, much less the Golden Goblet Film Festival. Xiao Yunhai's status in the entertainment industry is far higher than ordinary directors and actors. The Golden Goblet Film Festival's organizing committee naturally favors him. Now that we've offended him, I'm worried that he'll take action against us. "
Cao Dingzhong widened his eyes and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Do you think he'll dare to ban us? You're an Imperial Preceptor. You're famous internationally. He wouldn't dare even if you gave him ten guts. "
Just as he said that, Cao Dingzhong's manager suddenly rushed in from outside.
Cao Dingzhong slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table and said angrily, "Little Zhang, do you have any manners?"
Mo Kaixuan saw Little Zhang's anxious look and said, "Little Zhang, is there something urgent?"
Little Zhang nodded and said, "Director Mo, Teacher Cao, bad news. Yun Huang, ah no, Xiao Yunhai, has ordered the new Hua Xia cinema chain to completely ban Teacher Cao. In the future, any film that Teacher Cao shoots will never be able to enter the new Hua Xia cinema. The company is dying of anxiety. They're currently discussing countermeasures. "
"What?" When Cao Dingzhong heard this news, his face turned ugly to the extreme. He slammed the table and said furiously, "Just based on him, a young man who's still wet behind the ears, he dares to ban me? How preposterous!"
Mo Kaixuan frowned and asked, "Little Zhang, how did you know about this?"
Xiao Zhang said, "It was CEO Shen who called me personally. Perhaps Teacher Cao's phone ran out of battery, so he called me. CEO Shen wants you to return to the company immediately. "
