Thanks to the popularity of the TV series and Qin Guan's international influence, Southeast Asian businessmen, who had been eyeing the TV series in China, found a business opportunity.
As the biggest consumer of Chinese historical dramas, Japan had a special liking for the Chinese historical dramas, which were shot with rigorous shooting and grand scenes that made the Japanese tremble with envy.
In addition, South Korea had to follow Japan's every whim. When Emperor of Han Wu was only broadcast for a week, Japan and South Korea had already sold all the rights to distribute the show to the public.
The secondary broadcasting rights of various provincial TV stations had been sold early, and many businessmen had tried their best to advertise during that period.
In just a few days, "Great Emperor of Han Wu" had already made a killing.
Just the advertising director of the Central TV Drama Channel alone had a crooked smile on his face recently. Every night, he would even wake up smiling in his sleep.
The news that he had won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor was even more shocking.
If he had only won an award, it wouldn't have been a big deal. However, the Golden Globes and the Oscars were so close together.
The Golden Globes were also known as the Oscars of academia.
Here was the problem.
Qin Guan's acting skills had won the approval of many professionals, which represented the hope of the mass media and public praise.
Why didn't the Oscars give him a chance to be nominated?
The Oscars were a combination of business, publicity and fame, so the selection of the leading actor was more complicated than the other awards.
The Data Kings immediately threw dozens of statistical reports at the Oscar judges' faces.
A few days ago, the box office of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" had reached 124.3 million in North America.
The film had been distributed to 26 countries around the world, including the mainland of China.
The box office of the children's film, which had only been released for one week, had broken the record in North America and broken the 150 million mark.
The film, which had been invested 23 million yuan, had ushered in a period of box office blowout. If this figure was not commercial enough, which of the films nominated for the Oscars this year dared to compete with it?
The director of "Brokeback Mountain", Ang Lee, had won the Best Director Award, which was a rare China newcomer at the Oscars.
Zhang Ziyi's "Memoirs of a Geisha" had perfectly embodied the exotic style of the film.
However, they couldn't stop Qin Guan from winning the award just because there were too many China faces. Otherwise, the 2006 Oscars would become a China -style farce.
However, in the selection of an award, there was no such thing as fairness.
Some radical Americans would say that Qin Guan might not win the Best Actor Award even if he was nominated for the Oscars.
But the premise was, why didn't you let him have a fair chance to compete when his acting skills were off the charts??
Or was it because the committee was afraid that Qin Guan would become a factor in the Best Actor Oscar?
All he had to do was create an atmosphere that would attract the attention of the Chinese media, the PR companies, DreamWorks and Columbia, and his millions of fans.
Both of them would become the final variable in this Oscar battle for Best Actor.
It was a pity that his name didn't appear in front of the judges. Unfortunately, the Golden Globe Award winner didn't even qualify for the Oscars. As time went by, it would become another hot topic for future generations to talk about.
In this world, there was no such thing as absolute fairness. As an actor, George Clooney had become the biggest winner of this year's Oscar for Best Actor.
Qin Guan's fans, who didn't know the truth, felt a little better.
If an unknown actor or one of the two actors in "Brokeback Mountain" won the Best Actor Award, Qin Guan would be the winner.
He reckoned that what awaited him was another round of news bombardment like a storm.
However, such a storm was enough for Qin Guan.
Because of his popularity and the addition of the title of Best Actor, the few old actors who had been hesitant finally nodded their heads and agreed to take on this small production. It was a personal investment and a role in the movie that wasn't looked upon favorably.
It was also because "Crazy Stone" was a rare film in the film industry at that time.
The dark humor style of the movie, which lasted less than two hours, had a very good grasp of the rhythm. The absurd style of the multiple threads moving at the same time was very different from the shooting methods of the current domestic directors.
They had been afraid that the film would be a flop due to the director's lack of experience, but Qin Guan's participation had made them make up their minds.
Let's do it! I'm not afraid of you!
A Best Actor Award winner with a global box office of over 100 million US dollars was right next to them. They were just a small group of actors.
They could just push Qin Guan to take the blame if other people complained about the bad film in the future.
Qin Guan had been defeated, so they couldn't blame him.
Qin Guan, who was in the eye of the storm, escaped with the excuse that he had to film.
Meanwhile, Sister Xue was holding two late invitations. She had no choice but to call them one by one.
To the crew of If Love and Letter from an Unfamiliar Woman, he expressed his deepest apologies to the two movies. She also postponed Qin Guan's work schedule indefinitely.
They didn't know when Qin Guan would finish the film.
Would he be able to attend the Hong Kong Film Awards, the Tokyo Film Festival and the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain?
Qin Guan hadn't made many films last year, but every one of them had been surprisingly good. Plus, the films that had already been screened had been fermented.
It was normal for a film to be nominated for one or two awards at a film festival.
Qin Guan had also won an award at the beginning of the year, which was a good sign for every film. When a person was in luck, they had to take advantage of him.
Therefore, the directors of the two films were very easy-going.
Everyone had the same idea. They were all waiting for Qin Guan to finish filming and attend the meeting as long as he had time.
