"This bastard, idiot, he actually gave the voting rights to the commoners. How could those guys who only like sh * t understand the nobility and art of movies?" When they learned that Boss Jia had announced the creation of the Beijing International Film Festival, although the members of the Supreme Council despised Jia Yapeng, they immediately turned on the TV and watched the live broadcast.
After all, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated!
Then, they were angered by Boss Jia's obvious sarcasm throughout the whole process, but that was nothing. Finally, when Boss Jia announced the voting method, these committee members were really anxious.
First of all, they knew very well that Boss Jia's voting method was far more credible than their elite voting method.
After all, one was chosen by the people themselves, and the other was not played with them at all. Who do you think the people would believe in the election results?
Of course, among the elite class, the Oscars were definitely more credible, but the problem was that the elite class was in the minority after all, and it would be very troublesome if it did not get the support and recognition of the people.
It was easy for other elite industries, after all, the ordinary people could not participate, and it did not matter whether they recognized it or not.
But the film industry was different. All movie stars were actors, and they were acting for the people. What they wanted was fans. The more fans they had, the higher their income and the greater their reputation. Therefore, these awards needed to be recognized by the people. Otherwise, it would be just duckweed in the rain.
Originally, all the film festivals in the world were voted by the judges, and everyone was the same, so it would not cause any problems.
But with the addition of the Beijing International Film Festival, which was voted by the people, the other film festivals paled in comparison.
Maybe it would not be a big deal in one or two years, but if it was really given ten years, as long as the Daqian did not make any mistakes and did not create any scandals, the credibility of the Oscars might be worse than that of the Beijing International Film Festival.
Therefore, many of the committee members who were watching the live broadcast began to jump crazily. If this film festival was really held, they would be in big trouble.
Shouldn't Jia Yapeng, the Hua Xia, be as stupid as pigs? How could Jia Yapeng be such a monster?
"Everyone, it seems that we can't underestimate our opponents!" The director took a deep breath and said, "We can't let this so-called Beijing International Film Festival grow. Otherwise, our foundation will be questioned!"
Everyone nodded. Those who could sit here were not fools. Although they looked down on Boss Jia and Hua Xia from the bottom of their hearts, they all understood that the national election was a great blow to the film industry.
"But don't worry too much. It's actually very easy to deal with this so-called film festival!" The group leader suddenly laughed. "The most important part of the selection plan that he announced is to place the ballot box in the screening room of the theater."
"We can't make the theaters give up on their interests and give up on the Daqian movie, but it's very easy to make them give up on a ballot box that doesn't bring any profit!"
"Not bad!" Everyone nodded. Indeed, generally speaking, if there were no interests involved in a matter, then the rest would depend on face. The Supreme Board had the largest influence in the film industry.
"But what if the Daqian really spends money to install ballot boxes in every theater? What should we do?" someone asked worriedly.
"It doesn't matter. We still have an absolute trump card in our hands!" The director smiled slightly. "No matter how popular the film festival is, if no one goes on stage to receive the award, then it's nothing!"
"And they chose to hold the film festival before us. We just have to spread the word that any film that participates in the film festival will not be able to win an Oscar!"
"And not only that, but all the actors and staff in the film will also lose the opportunity to win an Oscar. Let's see if any film dares to participate in their film festival!"
"When the time comes, their award will only be given to the Daqian's own film. Then, this so-called Beijing International Film Festival will become a complete joke!" The director's words made everyone laugh.
That was right. This was the biggest advantage of their Oscar. Who would refuse an Oscar and participate in the damn Beijing International Film Festival?
— — —
A few days later, although there was no public announcement, everyone in the film industry knew that the Supreme Board of the Oscars had said that whoever dared to participate in the Daqian's Beijing International Film Festival would be completely cut off from the Oscars for the rest of their lives.
This made everyone in the film industry silent. Although many people felt that the Daqian's film festival was more fair and could better reflect the value of a film, the Oscars were the dream of countless filmmakers. This was the supreme glory that they could not give up. At most, they could only sigh.
However, unlike the previous tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides, the Daqian did not fight back after learning about the new Oscar ban, as if they had never known about this ban.
However, this was a very normal thing. After all, the Oscars were too big, and the Beijing International Film Festival was just established. It was too weak.
Even if this film festival had a promising future, it had no credibility at present, and it could not attract the attention of the global audience. Normal people would make the right choice. It was completely impossible for Boss Jia to fight back.
Although the Daqian did not respond to the Oscar ban, they soon began to plan for the film festival. Since March, many Daqian staff members had appeared at the doors of major cinemas in the United States, trying to negotiate with the owners of these cinemas to put the ballot boxes in the screening room. At the same time, they hoped that the staff of the cinemas could take on the task of distributing voting forms to the audience.
Unfortunately, the whole process did not go well.
"I'm very sorry, our cinemas are very small, can't fit the ballot boxes? We don't have extra staff to distribute voting forms to you! "This was the polite reply of the cinemas. They politely refused the Daqian's request.
"Get out of my cinemas! Why should we install ballot boxes for you!" This was the grumpy owner of the cinemas.
Anyway, after a few days, the installation of the ballot boxes did not go well. Almost all cinemas in the United States were very resistant to the Daqian ballot boxes.
After all, the Supreme Board of the Oscars was still quite prestigious.
