Jiang Yinglan was filled with sorrow and grief, while Yang Du also sighed.
He is looking at the results of "Big Fish".
As the year draws to a close, the promotion and distribution of films for the Spring Festival season have already begun.
Six big-budget films were released during this year's Spring Festival. Among them, the animated film "The Sea" directed by Liang Shi has gained considerable popularity due to its exquisite art style, mysterious oriental fantasy theme, and concept song "Big Fish".
The production company released the first trailer on December 8th, which unfortunately coincided with the clash between Tao Cheng and Du Li, a veteran and new generation of actors.
Currently ranked third on the charts, with Tao Cheng's "Swallowtail Butterfly" taking first place and Du Li's "The Reason for Sincerity" in second.
Fortunately, the reviews were good, which somewhat made up for the disappointment.
The song "Big Fish" is so ethereal! I really envy singers with such a beautiful, otherworldly voice. The last time I was so amazed was by Jiang Yan's "Painting Heart"!
—"Emm—Although, the singer is a man."
— "???"
—"Completely baffled. What do you mean the singer is male? I clearly heard a female voice (horrified)."
"No, didn't you guys watch when Century Music and the film crew of 'The Sea' officially announced their collaboration? Xia Mingchen is definitely a boy, he's the champion of 'The Voice of Tomorrow 2', okay?"
"I'm dumbfounded—I've been listening to 'Big Fish' on repeat dozens of times, imagining a graceful, ethereal young lady, but it turns out to be a young man."
[At any time, "Big Fish" had the potential to top the charts, but it unfortunately ran into its half-brother "Swallowtail Butterfly" and was forced to settle for third place.]
"Don't even mention it, it's like the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, we were rubbed into the ground by the old lady."
—"Hoping that the film's quality will give it another boost after its release, just like how 'Painting Heart' regained its top spot for two weeks after its release."
Just as Yang Du was about to browse through the other comments, Yuan Xiuqing arrived and handed him several sheets of A4 paper.
"What's this?" Yang Du looked at it and thought, "An acceptance speech?"
"Yes, there were four acceptance speeches, corresponding to the four awards."
Yuan Xiuqing said, "The Feitian Award is different from other awards. Not only will industry veterans be sitting in the audience, but leaders at all levels will also be present. Therefore, a proper acceptance speech is essential."
"In such situations, even a single misspoken word could be interpreted in a different way afterward, potentially triggering public opinion risks."
"Hmm—for example?" Yang Du said.
"For example, forgetting to thank the school leaders." Yuan Xiuqing gave an example: "President Yang, you are still a student at Beijing Conservatory of Music. If you really won the award on December 29th, but didn't mention Beijing Conservatory of Music at all when giving your acceptance speech, the marketing accounts would have a lot to write about."
After a moment's thought, many sensational headlines immediately popped into Yang Du's mind.
Hiss—fear.
"Right? You know the online atmosphere. Often, the public doesn't care about right or wrong, but rather whether it gets attention and traffic. So, it's best to avoid making mistakes in your acceptance speech if possible."
"Okay, let's consider this preparation." Yang Du put away the four acceptance speeches. "Hopefully, I'll have the opportunity to go on stage sometime."
From the real world to the online world, most people are pessimistic about whether Yang Du will ultimately win the award.
On Weibo, Yang Du's super topic is now dedicated to him, and there are two of them. His fans have already started giving each other warnings.
[I suggest everyone relax and understand the nature of the Feitian Award; it's a typical institutional award. A few days ago, the vice chairman of the Music Association confidently stated in an interview that it doesn't consider seniority; just take that with a grain of salt and don't take it seriously.]
Yes, don't you all know Old Zhong's traditions? Personal connections and seniority always come first.
To put it bluntly, Yang Du's biggest advantage and disadvantage right now are his age and experience. The fact that he secured four nominations is already an official recognition of his abilities.
Regarding the final award, Yang Du will definitely have to give way to the veteran artists. Look at the other nominees alongside Yang Du; many are seasoned artists who have worked within the system for over a decade or two. Some of these veterans have probably been waiting for the Feitian Award for many years.
[The person upstairs is right. When the judges were voting, they definitely thought about how hard it is for older comrades; they're getting on in years, and if they don't give them a chance this time, they might not have another. Yang Du is only 21 years old; he has a long life ahead of him and plenty of opportunities to win. This one year won't make a difference.]
Yuan Xiuqing responded quite frankly: "Then I'll start by memorizing my acceptance speech for 'Today is Your Birthday.' Oh, and one more thing, the outfit you're wearing to the Feitian Awards ceremony on the 29th has been arranged. Three luxury menswear brands have contacted us to sponsor it."
Yang Du was genuinely surprised: "Clothing sponsorship? If I remember correctly, the Feitian Awards don't have a red carpet."
"The Feitian Awards do not have a red carpet, but there is an entrance ceremony that lasts about an hour and a half. All the nominated guests, leaders, and veteran artists will enter through a special passage, which can be considered half a red carpet."
"Furthermore, because of you this year, the number of discussions under the Feitian Awards hashtag on Weibo has exceeded 30 million, compared to less than 10 million in previous years. Whether it's your personal image, works, achievements, or popularity, you are the type of artist that brands are most willing to sponsor."
In the entertainment industry, when brands sponsor artists' expensive clothing and jewelry, it's certainly not charity.
A red carpet segment at an awards ceremony can last anywhere from one to two or three hours. During this time, in addition to official media live broadcasts, countless entertainment accounts, marketing accounts, and fashion bloggers follow up, sharing photos, texts, or clips.
After the ceremony, topics such as the best red carpet outfits and unedited photos of male and female celebrities continued to generate buzz.
Every step and every stage is a huge exposure for the brand, and it would be even better if the sponsored celebrity won an award at the awards ceremony.
Therefore, when a celebrity receives sponsorship from a luxury brand, it is an excellent publicity opportunity, signifying that the celebrity has gained status and prestige, and has begun to enter the brand's field of vision, gaining favor in the fashion industry. Of course, the brand may not necessarily want to see such a topic that damages its image.
"OK, that means I don't need to prepare my own clothes on the 29th."
"Yes, a suit, plus a tie, cufflinks, pocket square, and dress shoes—a complete set. The brand will prepare everything in advance, and you'll also have a personal stylist to take care of your look on the day."
"Okay, is there anything extra I can do?"
"There is one," Yuan Xiuqing said. "Wearing clothing sponsored by them to the Feitian Awards, and if they win, adding a thank you to the brand in their acceptance speech."
"???"
The last sentence was a joke.
"—I'll deduct 100 yuan from your salary."
"Haha, okay."
