This star’s style is wrong

After Ark Culture invested in Wandou Video and became the second largest shareholder, the valuations of both companies in the investment industry have significantly increased.

The valuation calculated by the investment industry is the overall strength of a company.

Before listing, the valuation is equivalent to the investment industry's tendency to invest in this company.

After investing in Wandou Video, Ark Culture’s valuation increased by 30% from the original 10 billion to 13 billion.

The growth rate of Wandou Video is not low, from 12 billion to 14 billion.

This means that the investment industry believes that after these two companies join forces, the effect is 1+1\u003e2.

"White Night" dominated the entire late November and December. After "Lone Suspect" was broadcast, no TV series dared to compete with "White Night".

After all, it has a score of 8.4 and an average of 120 million views. Even "The Lonely Suspect", which is the leading drama of Shidi, has been taken away. No film and television company dares to say that the drama it produces can guarantee a score of 8.4.

Major video platforms and film and television companies don't even dare to play "Lone Suspect", let alone "White Night".

"White Night" has been a hit all the way to the finale, making Ark Culture and Wandou Video join forces, becoming a classic example in the industry.

Li Xueying, vice president of Penguin Video, actually hopes to have strategic cooperation with Ark Culture.

However, her location determines that this kind of cooperation is impossible to achieve.

Because this is a difference in development strategy, there is no way to reconcile it.

Ark Culture wants to develop a video website, while the entertainment industry organized by Penguin Video is promoted through acquisitions and will not accept other companies to invest in its subsidiaries.

To put it simply, any company that cooperates with Penguin Group must become a subsidiary of Penguin Group.

And Ark Culture began to layout the online video industry, with the goal of becoming a big boss, rather than being a subordinate to the Penguin Group.

This is a disagreement in the direction of development, which is doomed to fail to deepen cooperation.

Of course, in business, there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends.

Ark Culture has invested in Wandou Video, but that doesn’t mean it has become an enemy of Penguin Video.

Compete when you compete, and cooperate when you cooperate. These are the rules of this business game.

Therefore, Li Xueying still has a harmonious relationship with Fang Xing and the top management of Ark Culture, and will not become hostile just because Ark Culture has invested in Wandou Video.

If you count carefully, Penguin Group holds shares in dozens or hundreds of companies in the entertainment industry, covering everything from online reading, to videos, to comics, to movies, and games.

If these companies are included, going full circle, there is also indirect cooperation between Penguin Group and Wandou Video.

Moreover.

Ark Culture invested in Wandou Video, not sold to Wandou Video.

Ark Culture has a certain say in Wandou Video, but Wandou Video cannot interfere in the management of Ark Culture.

From now on, Ark Culture's dramas will still maximize their profits. It is impossible to give up the profits of other websites just because they bought shares in Wandou Video.

Of course, Wandou Video still has the advantage of being close to the water.

The popularity of "White Night" has also made several supporting actors famous.

Although Fang Xing plays two roles, which is the most exciting point of the whole drama, Fang Xing has already won the Flying Eagle Award and swept the three major Golden Melody Awards. His popularity has reached its peak, and there is no room for him to become more popular.

The supporting roles in the drama are different. Several have become famous thanks to this drama.

In particular, Wang Zhenglong, who plays the role of the criminal police captain "Zhou Xun", has good acting skills, but lacks the opportunity to stand out. Now he has seized the opportunity, and his popularity has soared.

Halfway through "White Night", he received many scripts, including many for the male lead.

However, he is picky about scripts.

In the early years, he would rather keep wandering than concentrate on filming, which is not the kind of character that wastes money.

Now I want to focus on filming, but the script is very demanding.

Since he has never played a popular male lead and has become famous through supporting roles, the quality of scripts written by him to play the male lead will be slightly lower.

Therefore, although he has many scripts to choose from, he has not made a decision.

In addition to scripts, there are also many endorsements.

This is the case in domestic entertainment. As long as celebrities can become famous, they are not afraid of not making money.

…

However, the one who reaped the most dividends from this wave of Mist Theater was actually not Wang Zhenglong, but Guo Sanjin.

After all, Guo Sanjin plays the male lead in "Dark Man".

Although "White Night" is more popular and has higher ratings, even reaching 9 points, the supporting characters are definitely not as popular as the protagonist.

Moreover, "The Dark One" is also a hit drama with a score of 8.2. There are even rumors on the Internet that there will be a sequel to "The Dark One".

This means that Guo Sanjin will have at least one S-level male protagonist drama in the next two years, and his fame and popularity will only increase.

Moreover, Guo Sanjin is a drama actor. Apart from not being handsome, he has no choice in acting skills.

Therefore, there are more film and television projects looking for Guo Sanjin, many of which are male leads.

In addition to film and television projects, there are also agencies that want to sign him.

Guo Sanjin originally acted in dramas and had an agent, but he did not sign with an agency.

Since "Dark One" has sequel plans in the future, Qiao Yinghong personally went to Guo Sanjin to negotiate a management contract.

Not only Guo Sanjin, Qiao Yinghong plans to sign all the actors of "Dark Man".

Of course, some of the actors have agencies, so naturally they cannot be signed, but those who are not signed by a big company can be considered.

After the broadcast of "White Night" and "Dark Man", the results are obvious to all.

So far, all the dramas produced by Ark Culture have been hit dramas.

This has made Ark Culture a golden brand in the film and television industry.

Therefore, when Guo Sanjin heard that he could sign with Ark Culture, he was naturally excited.

Signing into Ark Culture not only means that the sequel to "Dark One" is guaranteed, but there will definitely be more opportunities in the future.

Moreover, Qiao Yinghong even agreed to him bringing his agent into the company.

Before Guo Sanjin starred in "The Dark One", he was not well-known. He found a friend to be his manager, and the two of them discussed everything.

Now that "Dark Ones" is a hit, his work has exploded.

Even if you don't sign with a brokerage company, you still need to open a studio and recruit a brokerage team.

His agent was equally excited when he heard that he could join Ark Culture together.

After all, there is a lot of room for development in Ark Culture.

Therefore, Qiao Yinghong signed all the leading actors of "Dark Man" to the company to avoid the embarrassing situation of substitutions in the sequel of "Dark Man".

This is actually what Fang Xing meant.

For a sequel to a TV series to satisfy the audience, the most basic requirement is for the original cast to star.

…

After New Year's Day, it's time to announce the shortlist for the much-anticipated Gladiolus Awards.

The Gladiolus Award is one of the three major TV drama awards, along with the Flying Eagle Award and the Golden Eyebrow Award.

In fact, the three major TV drama awards also have their own preferences.

For example, the Eagle Awards tend to favor serious dramas and are more academic.

The Gladiolus Award pays more attention to the story structure of the TV series and is more entertainment-oriented than the Eagle Award.

The Golden Eyebrow Award is somewhere in between, more comprehensive.

Therefore, TV dramas that win the Eagle Award may not necessarily be very popular dramas.

For example, some high-quality dramas may not necessarily have high ratings and broadcast volume, but they still have a chance to win the Eagle Award.

Relatively speaking, the Gladiolus Awards require more audience base, and award-winning TV series need to have a certain popularity base.

Before announcing the shortlist, the Gladiolus Awards officially released a trailer.

As soon as the trailer came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens, speculating which TV series would be shortlisted.

[No need to think about it, "White Night" has to be nominated anyway. 】

【Are you so unconfident? There's no way "White Nights" could only get one nomination. 】

[In terms of popularity, "White Night" performed better than "Lone Suspect". However, if they are all nominated for the Gladiolus Award, it’s hard to say who will win more awards. 】

[It’s true that “White Night” is really good to watch, but when it comes to winning awards, “Lone Suspect” is also very strong. 】

[Indeed, I think Wu Zhikang in "The Lone Suspect" has a chance to use Gladiolus as the emperor. 】

[Wu Zhikang’s acting skills have always been good, but in fact he has never won the leading actor in the three major TV series awards, which is a pity. 】

[When it comes to the leading actor award, I still vote for Fang Xing. He played two roles, and his performance was so vivid. 】

[I vote for Wu Zhikang. In terms of qualifications, acting skills, and the thickness of his works, Wu Zhikang cannot lose to Fang Xing. 】

[Indeed, Wu Zhikang has been acting in TV dramas for 30 years, and he won the Jinpeng TV Emperor, but he has not won the three major TV drama awards for the leading actor, and has not won the Flying Eagle Award for the supporting actor. If you can't get Gladiolus Vision Emperor this time, it will be increasingly difficult to get it in the future. 】

[It’s really a pity that Wu Zhikang has acted in many dramas and his acting skills are also online, but he just doesn’t have good luck. It seems that the only thing missing is that it cannot enter the three major TV drama awards. 】

[I think "The Dark One" should also have a nomination. 】

["Feng Linchao" should have a name anyway. 】

["The End of Hardship" should be nominated. This drama is not a big hit, but its quality and reputation are very good. 】

In addition to ordinary netizens, there are also many fans of traffic stars who are discussing and fighting for opportunities for their idols:

[With his outstanding acting skills and good looks, it would be unreasonable not to win the award. 】

[Support my brother, as long as I win the prize, I will fund the big screen in Times Square! 】

[The judges look at our family, Yiting. The second male lead in "The Lonely Suspect" took the initiative to give up more scenes to others. This seriousness is definitely worthy of a supporting actor trophy. 】

Among the comments of these fans, some netizens also complained below:

[Have you ever thought that if Zhu Yiting didn't give more scenes to Wu Zhikang, "Lonely Suspect" might be able to hit grandma's house. 】

[There is a saying. When I watched "Lone Suspect" for the first time, I watched the whole drama. When I watched it for the second time, I just skipped the part about someone. 】

[Fans have a saying that is right. Zhu Yiting is the better actor among popular actors, but don’t get mixed up with actors. 】

[I feel that Zhu Yiting should be nominated. Among the three major TV drama awards, the Gladiolus Award pays more attention to entertainment, so some popular stars will be nominated. This approach can actually increase the popularity of the award ceremony, but if you want to win the award, you have to rely on your strength. 】

For major award ceremonies, it is also necessary to maintain the popularity.

The three major TV drama awards are also competitive with other award ceremonies.

One is word of mouth and the other is popularity.

If word-of-mouth and popularity cannot be maintained, there is a possibility of falling behind.

Therefore, the organizers of the award ceremony also need to find ways to increase the popularity of the award ceremony.

The way to increase popularity is of course to be closer to the mainstream preferences of the audience.

To put it simply, it means sending nominations and invitations to popular celebrities.

Of course, if for the sake of popularity, the award ceremony gives awards to some popular celebrities with poor acting skills, then the reputation will plummet and the gold content of the awards will also be reduced.

Therefore, award ceremonies not only need to be popular, but also need to maintain reputation.

This means that when the nominations are sent out, popular celebrities can be given, but in the end, the winners can only rely on their strength, not their popularity.

Of course, if the shortlisted traffic stars really have outstanding acting skills, there is no chance of winning the award.

It's up to you to see whose performance can conquer the judges more.

…

Amid the discussion among netizens and fans, the 31st Gladiolus Awards officially announced the shortlist.

Among the TV series nominated for the most awards, they are "White Night" and "The Lonely Suspect", as well as the period drama "The End of Hardship" broadcast by CCTV.

and the S+ heroine drama "Feng Lin Chao" invested by Penguin Video.

It can be said that this time the Gladiolus Awards is a showdown between the four major drama kings. All four TV dramas were nominated for four or five awards.

"Dark Ones" received two nominations in a battle between four drama kings.

Among the four major drama kings, "The End of Hardships" is not a big hit on the Internet. After all, it is a story about the struggles of the previous generation. The plot is a bit bitter and it is not an idol drama that young people like nowadays.

However, "The End of Hardship" is broadcast by China Central Television, and its ratings are definitely at the level of drama kings.

TV viewers like to watch it, but today's young people don't like to discuss such period dramas.

Therefore, although "The End of Hardship" did not become a hit online, it had high ratings and was shortlisted for four awards, becoming one of the four TV dramas nominated for the Gladiolus Awards.

If many netizens expected the same.

As the male lead in "White Night", Fang Xing played two roles. His acting skills were fully utilized, and as expected, he was nominated for Best Actor.

The same goes for "The Lonely Suspect". Wu Zhikang is responsible for the drama, and the audience score of 8.4 points already illustrates the success of this drama.

Therefore, as expected, Wu Zhikang received the nomination for Best Actor.

In terms of Best Supporting Actor.

Wang Zhenglong was nominated for his role as "Zhou Xun" in "White Night".

Also nominated is Zhu Yiting, the new top star on the cusp of the limelight.

Before "The Lonely Suspect" aired, Zhu Yiting could only be considered a second-tier streamer. However, "The Lonely Suspect" became a hit, and his agency spent money on marketing, which directly pushed him to the top.

Now that it has been nominated for the Gladiolus Award, it can already be predicted that it will become a hot search.

For Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, "Feng Lin Chao" and "The End of Hardship" are mainly competing.

After all, among the four major drama kings, the female character with the most roles in "White Night" is a newly graduated police rookie, played by An Xiaoran.

In "The Lonely Suspect", Wu Zhikang is the one who carries the drama, and Zhu Yiting plays the second most roles. It is also a man's drama, and there are not many female characters.

Therefore, the heroine drama "Feng Lin Chao" and the period drama "The End of Hardship" have become the main contenders for the best actress. (End of chapter)
