People all over the world were shocked by the Daqian Group.
They spent an astonishing 1.7 billion US dollars in one night. One billion US dollars was given to the Crown Princess for charity, while the other 700 million US dollars was given out as a prize.
In fact, compared to the Crown Princess, the Golden Dragon Award was the most popular.
First, it was the shock brought about by the huge sum of money. After the shock, everyone's gaze naturally fell on the Golden Dragon Award and they began to analyze what exactly it was.
The result was unknown before the analysis, but after the analysis, people were shocked. The Golden Dragon Award was an award that was decided by public votes. Although there were many film awards in the world that were decided by public votes, the public had no sense of participation at all. The so-called votes were only cast by people who participated in the film festival.
Not to mention the unfairness of the votes, the number of votes was very pitiful. There were only a few thousand votes in total.
The votes for the Golden Dragon Award were completely obtained from the votes of ordinary people who watched the movie in the cinema. The 300 million votes alone were enough to prove the fairness of the award.
The voting was very simple. All they had to do was go to a cinema with a voting function.
At this moment, many of the audience members who had voted realized that the votes they had cast for fun back when they were watching the movie had actually been counted. They had voted for the Golden Dragon Award.
All of a sudden, the 5% of cinemas with voting functions were almost full, while the other cinemas were empty.
A few days later, applications for cinemas that wanted to vote for the Golden Dragon Award were sent to the Daqian Group's mailbox like snowflakes. However, the Daqian Group did not even look at the applications.
5% of cinemas were enough. If there were too many of them, it would be easy to fake the votes.
Most importantly, the final results of the Golden Dragon Award were approved by all the ordinary people. After all, the results were personally voted by them.
However, the results did not seem to be approved by the media. For example, the Los Angeles Times and the Washington Daily, two media outlets that were famous for reading the articles of film critics, published many articles that criticized the results of the Golden Dragon Award the next day.
"For example, the Best Original Film Music Award was not sung by a human, but by an electronic synthesizer. This kind of music is not worthy of an award!"
"And Best Actor, Rowan Atkinson, this guy who only knows how to act crazy and stare at others, is actually worthy?"
"And 'Independence Day', which has won the most Golden Dragon Awards this time, is even worse. It's just a piece of garbage piled up with special effects. It's a disgrace to the film industry for such a movie to win an award!"
"In short, all the results of the Golden Dragon Award are bullsh * t. They should be nailed onto the pillar of shame in history!" Faced with the doubts of the film critics, some people refuted. For example, the crew of "The Fifth Element" stated that their music was not completely synthesized electronic music.
The female part was actually sung by a human, while the male part was synthesized.
In addition, the Golden Dragon Award awarded the Best Original Film Music Award, not the Best Original Voice Award. Therefore, as long as it was a piece of electronic music, it was qualified to win this award.
Some people directly ignored it, such as the Daqian Group. After that, they did not publish any rebuttals, as if these film critics did not exist at all. This made the film critics very unhappy.
Later, at a film critics' gathering, several famous film critics said that the biggest injustice of the Golden Dragon Award was that there was no "Best Film Review Column" award. As long as they could correct this mistake and arrange a prize of 10 million US dollars for this award, the Golden Dragon Award would be extremely exciting and authoritative for all film critics!
However, although the Daqian Group did not refute, some people refuted on behalf of the Daqian Group. The first to speak were actually many famous actors in the film industry.
They said that the Golden Dragon Award was very fair, and they were very supportive and recognized it. They believed that the Golden Dragon Award was a huge breakthrough in the film industry.
Most of these actors who spoke up did not participate in the Golden Dragon Award. There were even actors who won the award but did not receive the prize money. For example, Will Smith directly used an hour in an interview to defend the Daqian Group, and at the same time praised the Golden Dragon Award as the greatest film award in the world.
The reason was very simple. It was because all actors wanted to win the award. Regardless of whether the Golden Dragon Award was fair or not, the prize money was real. For the prize money of the Golden Dragon Award, they would definitely flatter the Daqian Group. Otherwise, when the Daqian Group won't give them an award next year, what would they do?
After all, although the Daqian Group said that the voting was very fair, in fact, the votes were counted and calculated by the Daqian Group. Outsiders had no way to participate at all. In fact, the Daqian Group had the final say on who would win the award.
Although it was unlikely that the Daqian Group would put up some works with a huge gap, if the average score of a work was only 0.1 to 0.3 points, then the Daqian Group could decide according to their own preferences. As for those actors who offended the Daqian Group, they would probably never win an award in their lifetime.
Among them, the most cowardly one was Will Smith. He had won the most awards yesterday, but he was also the one who had offended the Da Qian Corporation the most. Of course, he had to praise the Da Qian Corporation and make a good impression on them.
In the face of these actors' rebuttals, the film critics were preparing to write articles to refute them. However, in the next second, they received rejection letters from the chief editors of various newspapers. They did not want to read these rebuttals.
The film critics were anxious and hurriedly asked why. Then, their chief editors helplessly said that the investors behind the various media companies had said that there was no need to publish such articles.
These film critics were scared silly on the spot. They immediately took back the articles they had written and did not mention it again. Some thick-skinned people even rewrote an article praising the Golden Dragon Award on the spot and published it in an instant.
This made the film critics extremely afraid of the Daqian's financial power. From then on, they were very obedient and did not take the initiative to poke the Daqian Group.
However, these film critics were wrong. The Daqian Group had no intention of stopping them from publishing rebuttals from beginning to end. The ones who really stopped them were the six major Hollywood companies.
As for why, of course, it was because the six major companies all wanted to go to the Golden Dragon Award. Any award could earn them tens of millions of dollars in prize money. How could such a good thing not move the film companies? They had to participate in it next year no matter what.
Since they were going to participate, then the Golden Dragon Award could not be stale. Otherwise, their award would be stale too. On the contrary, they had to let the Daqian Group see their sincerity. Therefore, the six major companies took the initiative to help the Daqian Group.
In fact, there was another reason why the six major companies took the initiative to help. That was, the six major companies were very positive and liked the Golden Dragon Award very much.
Because the six major companies were companies that specialized in producing commercial films, including the Oscars, all the film festivals hated commercial films and especially liked artistic films.
Therefore, the six major companies were actually very unhappy with the Oscars and other awards. On the contrary, the Golden Dragon Award, which was completely based on audience voting, was more in line with the interests of the six major companies.
If one looked at the list of winners of the first awards, they would know that almost all of the winners were commercial films. Among them, there was only a small number of artistic films. This award was simply given to the six major Hollywood companies.
Finally, and also the most important thing for the six major companies, the Golden Dragon Award was the result of audience voting. It represented the recognition and evaluation of a film from the widest range of audiences all over the world.
If they could get their hands on the data and do some calculations and evaluations, they could use the data to draw the faces of the movies that the audience liked. It would be a great help for their future movies in terms of themes, scripts, and actors.
Now, almost all the six major companies had applied to the Daqian Group. They requested the Daqian Group to release the detailed voting data and the scores of different films in various aspects, so as to draw the faces of the audience.
All in all, the six major Hollywood companies were relying on Boss Jia. Of course, they had to take the initiative to help the Boss Jia solve the problem.
