Chapter 1
It also had a very strict selection process for the participating works. Unlike the selection method of the French Film Festival, where the qualification of the film nomination was held in the hands of a few people, the qualification of the world’s 100-year history of film Arts was held in the hands of most people.
The initial film selection in the history of film art was based on the intention of the members.
Among all the prestigious film festivals in the world, it was extremely influential and had a perfect election system. It was recognized as the most perfect organization by filmmakers all over the world.
The world’s century-old history of film and art had a huge member institution. The membership system was based on volunteer application, which included all the world’s well-known figures who were comparable to the film industry.
They were either movie lovers or people who worked in an industry. They had very strict requirements on the volunteers ‘life, cultivation, knowledge, and style of speech. After joining the Association, they would become members of the history of film. For every film that was selected, the members would have priority in dressing up and choosing.
At present, there were nearly 50000 members in the history of the world’s 100-year history of film and art. Each member had a unique identity symbol and was an elite in the industry.
After a strict selection process, the film would be officially played in the sacred theater. The invited members would enter the theater to watch it and vote without counting their names.
The results of the voting were monitored throughout the process and broadcasted live on its official website, so that everyone interested in the voting process could clearly monitor the results of the voting.
15 days later, the votes would be tabulated to determine the film that would be shortlisted. After a round of voting by film authorities made up of core members, combined with the member votes, the winners of the major awards would be finally decided.
It could be said that the history of film art had a great influence on the film industry since its establishment 96 years ago. The awards ceremony held every three years was a National Film Carnival.
On the last day of the award ceremony, more than 150 countries around the world would broadcast the grand event live on television. The impact was indescribable.
For people in the film industry, the history of a century’s worth of film art was a grand festival. If a work was finally selected and entered into the database, it would be forever engraved in the classics and be admired by future generations.
If ‘the salvation of God’ could make it into the final nomination, the movie would naturally have a lot of fame. However, the problem was whether ‘the salvation of God’ could make it into the final nomination.
There was no doubt that ” God’s salvation ” directed by Chesare was quite excellent.
However, this kind of Film Festival was held once every three years, so there was more demand than supply. The world-famous master director had long set his eyes on this grand event. Every three years, the film competition venue was full of swords and blades.
The works that could appear here were all amazing works, but it was not a big deal to be able to squeeze into the theater in the early stages. The real influence was the live broadcast on the day of the award ceremony.
Chesare was a talented director. Almost all of the movies he directed had good box office sales and reputations. He had a large number of loyal fans, and many Film Critics had good reviews for his movies.
However, all of his movies were not bad, which led to him not having any representative works that were worth mentioning. This caused him to always be one step away from being a world-class director.
If the salvation of God could not make it to the final nomination, all of chessaray’s plans would be for naught. At the same time, it would disrupt the investors ‘pre-screening activities. If the time was delayed, the investors’ scheduled movie would be released in North America on December 26th, and the pace of worldwide simultaneous release would be disrupted three days later.
The important thing was not only that the final box office results were hard to predict, but if Chesare did not get nominated, it would be a big blow to Chesare’s prestige. God’s salvation “had not been released yet, and it was very likely to attract ridicule from the public.
In addition, the movie made an exception to use a Chinese female star as the female lead, which would cause some radical people to boycott it. Once the reputation collapsed, the box office would naturally suffer a defeat.
Compared to Cesare’s passion, the investors were relatively conservative. There was also a dispute over the release method of the film.
Chesare was very stubborn about his own opinion. When he was shooting, he had a contract with the investors. Because he directed the “Lost City” trio, he had a lot of say in “the salvation of God.
In addition, he had been in the industry for many years and had a deep network. He also had a good relationship with Borgia and the senior shareholders of ring Island. In the end, he reached an agreement with the senior management to give up on premiering “God’s salvation” and signed up for the qualification to compete in the century-old film art.
Once it was confirmed that the movie was going to participate in such a campaign, the funds for publicity and distribution in the later stages could no longer be saved. Borgia and huandao company had invested a lot of money and started to release the promotional film of God’s salvation in the middle of October to increase its influence.
As long as there were no mistakes in the quality of “God’s salvation “, with Chesare’s directing ability, it would definitely be qualified to be aired in the Holy Grand Theater. The difficult part was whether it would be shortlisted.
In the early days, the screening of films was based on membership.
On the other hand, members with a history of a hundred years of film art were the leaders of all walks of life. The more publicity funds were invested in the early shortlisted films, the more famous they were, and the easier it was to attract people’s attention.
Once more people were watching, the chances of getting votes would increase greatly.
As long as there were enough votes, the film would be nominated, and the two major consortiums would achieve their goal. On the day of global broadcast, even if the title of “God’s salvation” was only released for a few seconds, it would be transmitted to every TV audience around the world. After being certified as a member of the history of film Arts, the box office sales would no longer be a concern.
When Xia Chaoqun found out that “God’s salvation” had signed up to participate in a century-old history of film and art, he had already made preparations for Jiang SE’s trip to America.
Regardless of whether the film was nominated or not, the dress had to be prepared in advance.
if Sese can be nominated, she can walk the red carpet. That would be a classic. With this departure, it would be difficult for China to produce another celebrity who could shake Jiang SE’s position for at least twenty years.
If “God’s salvation” was really nominated, Jiang SE’s international reputation would far surpass Tao cen’s.
The Grand ceremony for the history of 100 years of film art would only be held in December. However, mo Anqi was already excited. The team of stylists and makeup artists were discussing how to make her look when she went abroad to promote her new film.
Chapter 2
Xia Chaoqun was busy as well. Jiang SE’s dress for the promotional event for God’s salvation had already been offered by various fashion brands at the beginning of the year.
The jewelry sponsored by Hong Kong Hua was also ready, and it was escorted to the capital by a special person.
Every set of jewelry and the casual clothes and gowns that she would wear every day had to be matched in advance and adjusted repeatedly. Jiang se would be going abroad in November until the film art Festival ended. She would only rush back to China to attend the premiere of ” God’s salvation ” after it was screened in North America.
Mo Anqi was fiddling with her schedule, which was filled with her activities overseas. It meant that her leisure time from a few days ago was over.
“Sese, look.” Mo Anqi wished she had two more hands. While she was working, she was also distracted by chatting with Jiang se. “This is the dress that sister Xia ordered from Melovin’s family for you.” She opened a picture and showed it to Jiang se. this time, when ‘the salvation of God’ was nominated, sister Xia said that you won’t only be able to get a spot for Melovin’s skincare products but also become the spokesperson for their haute couture collection.
Melovin’s clothes were elegant and light. The gowns that Xia Chaoqun had custom-made for her were all very ethereal. Every dress was designed for Jiang SE’s temperament and figure. The style was unique. If she had the chance to walk on the red carpet in front of the sacred Grand Theater, she would definitely attract a lot of attention.
At this time, Tao cen was still in France. Song Yi was almost done with the endorsement deal for Carolus shampoo. When she received a call from Zhou Sheng in the capital, it was only in the evening.
She had an appointment with one of the higher-ups of Carolus to watch the show after dinner. Song Yi picked up the phone and gave her a look.
Tao cen first revealed an apologetic smile to his dining companions. He picked up a napkin and wiped his lips. When he came out, his smile had already disappeared.
It was not easy for her to get Carolus’s endorsement, and she could not allow any mistakes.
If it wasn’t something important, Song Yi wouldn’t have bothered her at this time. He should have solved it himself.
Song Yi clearly knew her personality. He handed over the phone and whispered,”It’s Zhou Sheng. He said it’s important news and he had to tell you personally.” He was also a little helpless. He knew how important Tao cen’s meal was. If possible, he did not want to disturb her while she was having a meal with the higher-ups of Carolus. However, Zhou Sheng insisted on telling Tao cen personally. He also said that the situation was urgent, so he could not do anything about it.
“I’m tao cen.” Tao cen’s heart sank when he heard Zhou Sheng’s call. He had a bad feeling about this.
Zhou Sheng was her ‘confidant’ in the Galaxy of the century. If he called her at this time and even told her in person, it was most likely related to Jiang se.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Sheng said, ” “Sister Tao,” the salvation of God “is going to participate in the election for a 100-year history of art.”
This news was like a blow to his head, instantly stunning Tao cen.
She had once guessed that since the salvation of God was scheduled to be released in North America in December and would be released in China on January 1st, there would definitely be a big promotion for this heavily-invested film.
However, Tao cen did not expect that Cesare would take “God’s salvation” to the selection for the history of 100 years of film art.
For Chinese directors, Cesare was at the top of the pyramid. However, to be honest, his previous works were far from being as touching, classic, and everlasting as those of the best directors.
It was not difficult for him to Take ” God’s salvation ” to the ‘centuries-old filmmaker’ event. It was not difficult for it to be shown in the sacred theater, but it would be a little difficult for it to stand out among the outstanding works and be nominated.
Moreover, there was a Chinese face in God’s salvation. The initial members of centuries-old filmmaker were mostly elites from Europe and America, so they had a certain instinctive sense of rejection toward Asian female stars.
Wasn’t chessley afraid that he wouldn’t be able to get a nomination after screening and would be humiliated?
Or was it because he thought highly of Jiang SE’s acting skills and had great confidence in her that he had chosen to use God’s redemption for the selection?
Regardless of whether ” God’s redemption ” was nominated for the ” century-old filmmaker’s ” award, Jiang SE’s name would follow the name of ” censaray girl “. Just participating in the ” century-old filmmaker ” award was already a great thing for her.
She had gained all the benefits. If this matter were to spread in China, Jiang SE’s status and reputation would skyrocket.
Xia Chaoqun, Jiang se, and Tao cen were all well aware of this.
At that moment, she was holding her phone. She was filled with questions, but she could not say a word. She heard Zhou Sheng talking about this in a low voice. He said that the higher-ups in the company had received the news. Luo Yin had personally called for a meeting. For the time being, it was decided that the company’s resources would be Jiang SE’s priority in the next few years.
As one of Tao cen’s supporters, Zhou Sheng was deeply worried when he heard the news.
After Jiang se gained the upper hand, her ‘trusted aides’ who were on Tao cen’s side would naturally be affected. As the behemoth with the title of China’s number one management company, century Galaxy’s internal competition was not small either.
Tao cen’s side had lost, but her followers were bound together for good or bad.
The more glorious she was, the more authority Zhou Sheng and the others would have in century Galaxy. The higher their status, the more information and resources they would be able to obtain immediately. This would also be beneficial for Tao cen’s development.
This was the competition mode that Luo Yin had tacitly agreed to, but now he wanted to break it with his own hands.
“Sister Tao, you have to think of something quickly.” With Jiang SE’s success, the number of shareholders who were close to Xia Chaoqun and supported Jiang se increased. Those who sided with Tao cen had a hard time.
Zhou Sheng could not help but feel a little anxious. After revealing the news, Tao cen took a long time before he regained his ability to speak. He took a deep breath and said,
“Why did Chesare make such a decision?”
After ” the suspect ” had finished filming, she had gone abroad to get the endorsement deal for Carolus shampoo and had met with the senior management of huandao company. She had asked about the film ” God’s salvation ” through their conversation and knew that the senior management of the investors were still worried about the future of the film.
In order to guarantee box office sales, after half a year of discussion, they should have considered promoting the movie slowly by pre-screening.
This scene was exactly what Tao cen had imagined. How had things become like this in just a few months?
Borgia and the huandao company would not agree to this.
She was still in disbelief. Zhou Sheng felt helpless and emphasized, ”
“It’s true, sister Tao.”
