Based on the trailer of "God's Redemption" alone, it is still impossible to be completely sure of Jiang Se's performance in the film. The assistant is worried that he is too confident. If "God's Redemption" is not nominated, it will be a big blow to Shu Peien's reputation.
Shu Payen waved his hands with a firm attitude. When a young actor cannot venture into Europe and the United States because of his age or status, then even if a senior like him cannot give her any support, he cannot be timid and even fail to write down his true feelings after watching the movie.
There was no room for negotiation with his attitude, and he had great confidence in Jiang Se. The assistant had no choice but to agree to his request. After proofreading the manuscript, he nervously sent it to Cui Zhangcheng. He did not dare to go online to refresh it for a long time, for fear of seeing many people's sarcastic tones.
After receiving the manuscript from Cui Zhangcheng, he uploaded it online immediately.
In Shu Peien's film review, he first confirmed the news reported by China News's foreign correspondent that Jiang Se is indeed the female lead in "God's Redemption" and has a lot of rival scenes with Donald.
Secondly, Shu Peien was very optimistic about "God's Redemption" and believed that this film was qualified to be nominated for the "Filmmaker of the Century", which was also an invisible compliment to Jiang Se.
A large number of Jiang Se's fans in China were naturally pleasantly surprised when they saw the news. At the same time, fans who were looking forward to the release of "God's Redemption" after watching the trailer were naturally more enthusiastic about the movie because of Shu Payen's praise.
Of course, there are also people who think that Shu Pain's film review is unfair, as Shu Pain's assistant guessed. They believe that Shu Pain did not watch the entire movie, and that it was unfair to make such a hasty review on the first day.
Some of Shu Peien's fans also defended him, saying that his expectation to see "Jiang Se walking on the red carpet in front of the sacred auditorium" was just an expectation for domestic actors, and he wanted more foreign audiences to see the acting skills of Chinese actors.
Amid the dispute, "God's Redemption" has dominated almost all the news in China recently. Even before the movie is released, the number of people looking forward to it is increasing day by day.
Shu Payen was not affected by domestic reviews abroad. After writing the film review, he continued his journey of "Century Filmmaker" with peace of mind. For half a month, he watched almost all the movies in the sacred auditorium.
There were some outstanding works in between, but compared with "God's Redemption", Shu Peien felt that something was missing. Although the impulsive voting at the beginning was unfair and unjust, the "Centennial Filmmakers" has been held for nearly a hundred years. However, during this period, the vivid and classic photos on the movie wall of "Centennial Filmmakers" have never left the figure of Chinese actors. Shu Peien actually also longed to leave Jiang Se's photo in the first real century of world film art history for future movie fans to witness.
Although his personal strength is limited, he at least contributed his only strength to "God's Salvation".
At this time on the Internet, "God's Redemption", which was not favored at the beginning, gradually became one of the strong competitors remaining on the list after global movie fans bet on it.
The news that Jiang Se is the female lead in Cesare's new movie has long been spread. European and American netizens were initially puzzled, but finally someone discovered that the chairman of "Century Filmmakers" adjusted the theaters where the movie was shown, and realized the importance and popularity of the movie.
Even though what the members who watched the film said was specious and not revealing much, judging from the film screening, someone has already smelled something special.
When "God's Redemption" was first screened, it was in the medium-sized theater of the Sacred Auditorium. However, five days later, it was quickly changed to a large theater that could accommodate more than 600 people, and the location of the theater was never changed in the following ten days.
This is a message that deserves our attention, proving that "God's Redemption" has always been a popular choice among members during its screening. It is precisely because people often choose to watch it that it has a high attendance rate. Therefore, in the later period, when the chairman of "Century Filmmakers" did not change the theater for "God's Redemption", he increased the number of screenings of "God's Redemption" from three screenings a day at the beginning to four screenings a day.
The actions of the presidium attracted the attention of many movie fans. Some people even did not believe it and did not think that Jiang Se was qualified to work with Donald. This became the most controversial topic in the 100-year history of world cinema.
The investors of "God's Redemption" are naturally satisfied with such a result. Before the movie is released, it has already attracted a wave of topics and got the result they wanted. Even if the movie ultimately fails to make it to the finals, there will always be unconvinced audiences who try to go to the cinema to find out why the movie is valued by the members of "Century Filmmakers". The increase in movie box office is data, and it is also the purpose of the film company!
No matter what, "A Century of Filmmakers" finally came to an end.
By December 15th, almost all members of "Centennial Filmmakers" had watched and rated all the films on display.
The sorted ballots will be escorted by armed guards to staff members who are responsible for sorting the votes. The results will be sorted within three days. After three days, the twenty films with the fewest votes out of the fifty films originally entered in the Sacred Auditorium will be eliminated, leaving thirty films for the final shortlist and selection.
The last two days are reserved for the presidium members who have the final say in the conference to select the best works and award special prizes on the evening of the 20th.
According to the election rules of the conference, the staff who sort the ballots will be absolutely isolated from the outside world for three days, have no communication tools, cannot contact people from the outside world, and are prohibited from leaking the voting details of each movie.
The competition at this moment is no less intense than the final fight for the award, and it is the result of the world’s entertainment media chasing and competing every year.
Because "God's Redemption" became a hit movie this year, Jiang Se, as the first Chinese actress who may become a "century filmmaker", has also attracted a lot of attention.
The daily headlines on China's front pages discuss "God's Redemption," and the number of comments under Shu Peien's column continues to increase.
His film review made many domestic audiences look forward to the release of "God's Redemption" and seemed to give more confidence to many domestic netizens who were paying attention to the "Centennial Filmmaker" campaign.
There are endless bets on which films will be shortlisted for the "Filmmakers of the Century". After work every day, Tao Tao visits domestic and foreign websites to search for various film reviews about "God's Redemption", which is her biggest entertainment recently.
At first, she just searched for reviews of the movie "God's Redemption" on the Internet every day, until one day on a licensed legal gambling website on the Internet, she found a gambling post from a netizen named 'NANA'.
This netizen named 'NANA' initiated a bet in the post, and a lot of people participated. Tao Tao clicked on it because "God's Redemption" was also included in the vote initiated by 'NANA'.
However, the most popular candidate for this bet is British director Moen, whose works were once selected as "Filmmakers of the Century", becoming timeless classics. He is also a strong contender for the biggest award of this "Filmmakers of the Century".
In comparison, the movie with the highest odds is "Salvation of God". Among the several movies selected by 'NANA', this movie starring Jiang Se was almost ignored. Almost all the netizens who participated in the bet chose Moren's work without exception.
Every netizen who participated in the gambling wrote down the reasons why they chose other works instead of "God's Redemption" under this bet:
NANA: "Divine Redemption" may be Cesare's biggest failure. His move of abandoning Laura and choosing a Chinese actress is just like every shrewd businessman who compromised with the Chinese market in recent years and has lost his own characteristics.
Alvin: If China hadn't become rich in recent years, perhaps "God's Redemption" would not have chosen a Chinese actress at all. Cesare would understand that this was the most wrong decision he had ever made in his life.
Andrew's Time: Cesare was like being cursed by the Chinese girl. Maybe "God's Redemption" should not be called this name, but should be called "The Devil's Curse".
Sometimes: Cesare's film is good, but it's a long way from being a classic.
…
There was laughter in the room, and some thought that 'NANA' might not make any money by making this bet. However, NANA replied: I made this bet not to gain anything, but just to be a witness to Cesare's failure!
Such words made Tao Tao angry and sad. Over the years since the "Century of Filmmakers" was set up, no Chinese movie star has been able to walk on it. This seems to have given many people an illusion that there are no Chinese actors worth remembering.
Even when she carefully wrote down the movies Jiang Se had acted in under the betting post, she was mostly laughed at.
These Jiang Se's masterpieces, which performed well at the domestic box office and received praise, seemed not to be taken seriously by this group of arrogant netizens, and even more people ridiculed them.
Because of Tao Tao's rebuttal, this betting post attracted a lot of attention, and more and more people placed bets, including some who bet on "God's Redemption". But whenever such a person appeared, there would be a crazy commotion below, mocking that such an action was just "charity".
Amid the screen full of "hushes", Tao Tao also placed a bet.
She has been working for several years. As her position in the studio has become more solid in recent years, she is valued by her boss, so her salary has been quite good in recent years, and she has saved some money over the years.
She originally planned to save for another two years, and perhaps use the money to invest in a property in the imperial capital, which would become the foundation for her livelihood.
But at this moment, she did not hesitate to invest all the hundreds of thousands of dollars into the "God's Redemption" bet. Her behavior was really crazy. After the bet was successfully placed, she heard the reminder in the text message that the money had been deducted. She bit her lip, listened to the rapid heartbeat in her chest, took a deep breath, and calmed her excitement.
As soon as the money was transferred in, the gap between the films that 'NANA' and others had bet on was immediately narrowed. Many netizens who had placed bets were prompted and left messages on the betting webpage asking questions.
After Tao Tao placed her bet, she immediately closed the webpage.
She is not a wasteful girl. After working for many years, even though her salary has been increasing, she does not pursue brand names, does not like jewelry or dressing up, so most of her salary is saved.
This time she used all her money for betting, which was the craziest thing she had ever done since she was born.
But Tao Tao did not regret placing the bet. Instead, she felt a sense of relief.
This feeling was so childish that she blushed. Her colleagues in the office were all busy, discussing gossip in low voices, or browsing the web like her. No one knew that in just a moment, she had staked out all the money she had saved from working for several years.
“Oh my God!”
About ten minutes later, Su Min suddenly shouted loudly in the office, attracting the attention of colleagues who were originally staring at the computer. Tao Tao licked her lips, calmed down her inner feelings, and raised her head. Su Min was a little excited:
"Look at this British gambling website. Regarding the betting for the 'Filmmaker of the Century' election, someone invested more than half a million dollars in 'Salvation of God'!"
The recent "Centennial Filmmakers" event has come to an end. It is an important moment for movie fans around the world to place bets and guess which films will be shortlisted and which films will take home the final prize.
Major licensed gambling websites are also one of the targets of media attention. Tao Tao had just placed a bet, and the transaction amount displayed at that moment because of the bet opened by NANA attracted the attention of many people. She happened to be betting on the movie "God's Redemption", so many domestic media people discovered it at the first time and quickly took screenshots.
Tao Tao didn't say anything, but her colleagues had already started a heated discussion, guessing the identity of the person behind the bet.
Three days have passed in a flash, and "A Century of Filmmakers" will announce the results of this screening in the early morning of the 19th local time in the United States.
The time for the results to be announced is getting closer and closer, and movie fans around the world are paying attention to this important occasion.
In front of the Sacred Auditorium, fans of various directors and actors made different cheering items and walked on the street, enthusiastically distributing them to passers-by.
The nearby bars were packed with spectators, who were supporting different directors and waiting for the official announcement of the 30 lucky films that would be retained by the "Centennial Filmmakers". Some people had already begun preparing for the celebration in advance.
Looking out through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel where Shu Pain was staying, he could see the jubilant crowd holding up glow sticks. This was the moment that fans around the world had been waiting for, the moment of revelry. (To be continued)
