Chapter 864 Hundred Flowers Award

Facts have proved that in this materialistic world, money is not everything.

For example, Leon originally wanted to pay a price to drive the car directly from Shanghai to Hengdian.

It was a good deal at the beginning and the price was set.

As a result, when people arrived at the garage and took a look, they didn't dare to open it.

"Brother, you let me drive a car that costs hundreds of millions. If something goes wrong, you won't be able to pay for it even if you sell it to me."

The driver said this to Leon on the phone tremblingly, as if just looking at the car made him feel scared.

In fact, the driving companies all buy insurance for them, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. Even if an ordinary luxury car is really scratched, it will be fine.

However, Luo Quan's car is beyond the scope of ordinary luxury cars, and I really don't dare to touch it at a high price.

Finally, Lyon contacted another transportation company to deliver the car on a large trailer.

It's definitely slower, but it only takes a day or two, so I'm not in a hurry to use it anyway.

"Your black card is said to be omnipotent, isn't it?" Luo Quan laughed when he found out about this.

Leon explained: "The black card side said that they can't find drivers who dare to drive for the time being. They decided to increase the remuneration and recruitment scope. I thought it was too troublesome, so I let them forget it."

There must be a brave man under a heavy reward, and one can definitely find him.

But I have to wait. I don’t know how long it will take.

Leon didn't like this feeling of waiting for the unknown.

So he directly chose another way. Even if the transportation took longer, at least he knew when it would arrive.

Luo Quan opened his mouth to say something more, but the phone rang: "Hey Director Jiang, you are such a busy man, can you give me a call when you have time?"

The caller was director Jiang Wen. He was currently preparing to film "Prisoner of War Camp Olympics" and there had been no news for quite some time.

Now I suddenly called, and I don’t know why.

"Don't you check your mailbox lately?" Jiang asked the director. His laughter was as hearty as ever, like a firecracker.

"I'm so busy that I don't have time to check my mailbox." Luo Quan's heart skipped a beat: "Did I miss something important?"

As she spoke, she opened her personal mailbox, which had been kept at 99+ for a long time.

Jiang Wen explained: "The Hundred Flowers Awards will be handed out soon. Your film has several nominations this time. The awards organizing committee sent you an email and there was no reply, so you came to me to ask what happened."

"So this is what happened, my fault, my fault." Luo Quan also saw the email in his mailbox and apologized quickly.

"Okay, I brought the message. You can prepare your acceptance speech. I have other things to be busy with."

After Jiang asked the director, he hung up the phone.

Judging from his tone, he seemed to be more confident than Luo Quan that she would win the prize this time.

The selection rules of the Hundred Flowers Awards are that the backbone of the Film Association first selects the candidate list, and then selects five nominees fifty days before the awards ceremony.

On the day of the final awards ceremony, one hundred and one audience judges voted to select the final Hundred Flowers Award winner.

As one of the three major film awards in mainland China, the Hundred Flowers Award is held every two years, and the competition is more intense than the annual Golden Rooster and Huabiao.

"Farewell My Concubine" already swept the Golden Rooster Awards last year, and this year it is finally the Hundred Flowers Awards' turn.

The outside world is still clamoring for "Farewell My Concubine" to win an award.

But there are no competitors.

"The Lake", released last October, is the biggest rival of "Farewell My Concubine".

The current status of this movie in China is not particularly different from the status of "Forrest Gump" in the United States.

It is an excellent movie that is extremely correct.

Normally, "The Lake" could easily win various domestic awards like "Forrest Gump".

Coincidentally, "Forrest Gump"'s opponent at the Oscars is "Joker", which has a darker and more serious concept.

The opponent of "The Lake" is also "Farewell My Concubine", which has a very heavy and sad atmosphere.

But the difference is that "Forrest Gump" has the upper hand in the competition, while "The Lake" is at a disadvantage.

If we only look at it from an artistic point of view, "Farewell My Concubine" not winning the Hundred Flowers Award could only be due to a shady story. There is no other explanation.

But the Hundred Flowers Award is not a purely artistic award like the three major foreign film festivals.

Writing is an award selected by public judges. In addition to art, the audience's love or feelings about family and country must also be considered.

With the same heavy historical content, "The Lake" is more tragic and generous, and is easier for young people to resonate with.

So, don’t look at the Internet saying that this time “Farewell My Concubine” can continue last year’s performance at the Golden Rooster Awards and continue the killing spree.

But in fact, Luo Quan felt very unsure.

After all, judging from the box office, "Farewell My Concubine" was less than 2 billion, while "The Lake" exceeded 7 billion, second only to Wolf Warrior II's 10 billion box office.

The number of viewers is not at the same level. Compared with another nominated movie "Hello Mother" with a box office of 5 billion, it may be more competitive.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the movie "Hello Mother" has almost no ability to compete for the best movie. The final winner will only be born in "The Lake" and "Farewell My Concubine".

With many things on his mind, Luo Quan put down his phone.

At this time, Leon curiously asked who called, and Luo Quan told her that he was going to attend the Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony.

Leon, who has always liked liveliness, immediately became energetic: "Can you bring the guests to this ceremony? I want to go too."

If it were any other award, such as Weibo Night, if the Oscar winner was willing to come, he would definitely welcome it with both hands.

But the Hundred Flowers Award cannot do that, because since its inception, there have been very few foreign guests participating in the Hundred Flowers Award, and in recent years there have been none.

So even if Leon wants to go, the reply he will probably get is a polite refusal.

"I'm afraid I can't go. You should just stay at home and watch the Six Princesses." Luo Quan immediately poured a basin of cold water on his brother.

"Why?" Leon looked stunned.

"The Hundred Flowers Award generally does not invite foreigners, only Chinese people can participate." Although Luo Quan doesn't know why this is the case, since the rules are like this, no one can violate it.

"Really? I'll search for it." Leon obviously still didn't believe it, and immediately searched on Baidu for "Are there foreigners participating in the Hundred Flowers Award?"

The answer was no.

There are foreigners who have participated in the award competition, but I have never seen them participate as guests.

"Not really." Leon muttered, but he soon discovered Hua Dian.

"That's not right. I see that these celebrity guests all have Singapore, France, and Switzerland behind their names. Does this mean they have acquired other nationalities? In that case, they are technically foreigners."

Luo Quan glanced at it: "Oh, you said this, they were not foreigners when they participated, but they later became nationals of other countries."

"That's it." Leon understood now, and then muttered: "China is very good, why do you want to go abroad?"

Luo Quan couldn't answer this answer, and it would be disrespectful to say any more.

The Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony is approaching, and domestic entertainment has become extremely lively.

Celebrities confirmed to have been nominated have already begun buying up notices to promote the event.

And the opponents of these celebrities also arranged for the navy to smear their negative information and start to suppress them.

"You deserve it too" has become a hot word on Weibo these days.

In short, not many of these nominated stars are worthy in the comment section.

There are also those who want to fish in troubled waters and want to black Luoquan.

Several celebrities who were named by others are arguing with each other for credit, but there is someone here who doesn't even say a word to Luo Quan. Why are you arguing?

As soon as these words came out, they seemed so offensive.

The key point is that Luo Quan herself was not nominated. After all, she had no Chinese-language film starring herself released last year.

But these gangsters just wanted to drag her over to attract gangsters. This kind of behavior that looked pink but was actually gangster was not easy to control. Luo Quan thought about it but was too lazy to say anything.

If she comes out and says a few words every time one or two black men set the rhythm, then why not tire her to death?

We can only hope that netizens will keep their eyes peeled and not be angered by these sunspots.

"Boss, what should we wear to the ceremony?" Lin Ruoli asked Luo Quan in the hotel room.

In the past, for any ceremony, the company would help her borrow a dress from a certain big brand, but the quality varied.

Now that I'm at Quanshui Entertainment, the treatment should be even better.

"Choose for yourself." Luo Quan threw a tablet on the bed, "Click on my wardrobe and pick out any clothes in it."

The "My Wardrobe" software icon was a big CH. After Lin Ruoli clicked on it, she found that there were more than thirty pages of dresses inside, with forty photos on each page.

A dazzling array of items, everything you need.

"What is this? What is this?" Lin Ruoli opened her mouth wide in surprise. She was really shocked.

Luo Quan replied with a smile: "This is a small software I asked the programmers from Blizzard Studio to develop. It takes short videos of all the clothes in my wardrobe and organizes them into a list. If you need it, you can click on it to choose."

Lin Ruoli sighed: "Boss, these are all yours? That's so cool. There are more dresses than I have ever worn in my life."

"Actually, I haven't worn a few. Most of them are from Chanel, and the others are dresses from other brands that my grandfather bought me. The quality is good, but some dresses are more avant-garde in style, and I'm afraid people today can't appreciate them. "

Luo Quan said, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

There are so many dresses that she can't wear all by herself.

The key is that she can't sell the questions that can't be worn.

Because after they are sold, these dresses will immediately be labeled - Luo Quan's dresses.

If it changes hands, it will probably be sold at a high price again.

If you can’t sell it, you can’t donate it.

Ordinary clothes can also be donated to children in impoverished mountainous areas so that they can wear warm clothes in winter.

But what are these dresses for?

Quite a few of them are deep V, and each piece of fabric is less and less. If these were donated, it would probably become a joke.

Therefore, Luo Quan could only put these endless dresses in the closet to collect dust.

Fortunately, the number of artists in the company is gradually increasing. From now on, each person will have a suit, and they will not have to worry about not having a good dress to wear for a long time.

Soon, Lin Ruoli chose a dark green dress: "Boss, I have chosen it. I will wear this one."

"So soon, don't you want to look at it again?" Luo Quan looked over.

The style of this dress is quite good, but the color is not her favorite.

In comparison, she prefers more gorgeous colors such as gold and silver.

"Low-key yet connotative, I like this." Lin Ruoli gave her reason, and she and Luo Quan could argue with each other.

After choosing the clothes, someone will deliver them to you soon.

Luo Quan looked at the date and location of the Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony and prepared to make arrangements.

Fortunately, the Hundred Flowers Award will be held this year in Hangzhou, the capital of Jiangnan Province, in three days, so it is not particularly urgent.

In the past three days, Luo Quan didn't do anything to build momentum for himself like other celebrities. It would be best if he could get it, but it didn't matter if he couldn't get it.

Speaking of which, Lin Ruoli was also on the list of candidates for Best Actress this time, but it was a pity that she could not go further.

This is her only literary film in several years, and she made it with the aim of winning awards.

However, these heroines this year are all very strong, and she really can't compete.

As for the male protagonist, it was even more bloody.

"Farewell My Concubine" star Zhao Xilin sent a WeChat message saying that he felt that winning the award was unstable. It was said that he was related to a related client.

Luo Quan looked at the list and couldn't recognize who the relevant person was, so he could only comfort him: "Just keep a normal mind, at least you have been nominated for the Best Actor at Cannes, and you are not afraid that Baihua will not be nominated for the Best Actor again.

You are still young and have plenty of opportunities. "

If it was Zhao Xilin's previous temper, he would definitely talk about it online.

At the very least, he would be angry with the person he was related to.

But now, after nearly two years in the entertainment industry, he has gradually been assimilated into the industry.

It's not that they are complicit, but more diplomatic.

In the past, when I was young and frivolous, I still wanted to pursue fairness even if I got into trouble.

As for now, even if you encounter something unfair, you have to calculate the pros and cons to see if it is worth getting angry for it.

You can say that he is timid, or you can say that he has matured and knows how to take the overall situation into consideration.

However, Zhao Xilin himself didn't know if he was doing the right thing.

Luo Quan could not comment because she had not encountered a similar situation.

In all the award selections she has gone through, she has never been intercepted by anyone related to her.

So I can't feel the same way as Zhao Xilin.

But if she encounters this situation herself, she will definitely not swallow her anger. Even if she is banned, she will have to post it online to seek an explanation.

If Zhao Xilin were an employee of her company, she would do the same.

However, Zhao Xilin rejected his invitation at the beginning, so now he would be helpless if anything happened.

As for whether Zhao Xilin regrets it now, she doesn't know.

But you only have one chance to buy a ticket and get on the train, and it's too late to change your ticket now.

Therefore, after Zhao Xilin talked with Luo Quan again, he did not get any substantial results.

On Weibo, the competition for award nominees is still ongoing.

Praising and slanderous articles are everywhere.

In comparison, Luoquan can almost be called a pure land.
