In the expectation of the Oscar organizing committee, as well as the disgust and curiosity of the global media, the award ceremony of the first Daqian International Film Golden Dragon Awards, which is destined to go down in film history, kicked off.
According to incomplete statistics, at the beginning of the ceremony, more than 500 million viewers around the world were watching the live broadcast.
Of course, among the 500 million people, 450 million are probably for the crown princess, and the other 500 million are all for the sake of this award ceremony.
Anyway, among these 500 million people, few are well-intentioned.
But no matter what, the award ceremony began, and the first thing that caught the eyes of all the audience was a huge golden dragon winding on a vermilion pillar.
And this is the Golden Dragon Trophy of the Daqian International Film Golden Dragon Award, which is different from the trophies of the world's major film awards, the trophy of the Golden Dragon Award, that is, a genuine Chinese Golden Dragon, the overall shape is the Golden Dragon hovering on the pillar, which is extremely cool in terms of shape, completely killing all the previous movie trophies, so that many audiences can't wait to hold this trophy in the palm of their hands when they see this trophy.
"Ridiculous!" Seeing this trophy, the chairman of the Oscar organizing committee said disdainfully, "Film is people-oriented art, and all films are to show people, the main body, and all kinds of thinking and art." The trophy of the movie should naturally be in the form of a human, but he made a dragon out, this guy is completely a bastard who doesn't understand movies! ”
"Not bad!"
"That's it!" The other committee members expressed their stance one after another, saying that they very much agreed with the chairman's views and something.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the award ceremony of the Global Film Golden Dragon Award at our Imperial Capital International Film Festival, I am Jia Yapeng, today's host!"
That's right, the host who appeared on the stage at this time was actually our Boss Jia, a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions, who had become the host of the awards ceremony, which was unexpected by everyone and unprecedented.
Of course, after waiting for a few more years, in the United States, there will also be a billionaire who will become the host of a show, and people will even go to the fighting arena to fight, and even fight with the referee or something.
"Sensationalism! No identity at all! The Oscar chairman complained again.
"Not bad!"
"That's it!"
"Throughout 1997, practitioners in the film industry around the world presented one classic drama after another to audiences around the world. And we, the staff of the Imperial Capital International Film Festival, have also worked hard to select the best films and authors in the world throughout the year last year! ”
"I'm sure you've noticed that in the last year, there have been many movie theaters around the world that have undergone unusual changes, and behind their seats, a small ballot, a small pen, and a small ballot box have appeared."
"Countless audiences gathered their opinions and choices about the movie on every small ballot, and finally put it into the ballot box......"
Along with Boss Jia's explanation, on the curtain behind him, the promotional video that had been prepared for a long time also began to play.
This is a 10-minute promotional film, and it is also a documentary that records how the staff of Daqian Film painstakingly negotiated with various movie theaters around the world, and how they put ballot papers and ballot boxes into the cinema screening room.
How hard to collect votes, what kind of votes, etc., among them, there are some of the audience's voting process, as well as their own mental journeys and so on.
Anyway, this 10-minute documentary completely recorded the voting session of the entire movie, and then told all the audiences on the scene and in front of the TV.
And this documentary also shows the great difficulties, and how the staff of Daqian Film overcame them to collect a large number of votes.
In a documentary, it was actually shot by the world's top documentary director, the kind that won the Oscar for Best Documentary, the shooting was quite perfect, and it was very empathetic, so that many viewers were infected by the staff in the documentary, and were moved by the hard work they endured, and some people with low tears even couldn't help shedding tears.
Anyway, after the broadcast of such a documentary, all the viewers understood the entire vote collection process of the Golden Dragon Awards, and knew that this was indeed the result of collecting votes from the hands of every real movie audience, not the result of the so-called expert jury.
This made many audiences who originally came to see the crown princess, or to see the film festival, couldn't help but be moved, moved that there is really a film festival in the world that is established by collecting the votes of all movie audiences.
At the same time, they began to be curious about the final outcome of this ballot.
Especially now that the Oscars have ended, and there is an answer to the attribution of the various awards, but this is the answer given by the so-called expert judges, and the audience is very interested in knowing which answer will be given by all the viewers around the world in the end.
Among the 500 million spectators, at least 200 million people have changed from the original interest in the crown princess and the embarrassment to the huge interest in the announcement of the results of the award ceremony.
"In the end, we will ship all the ballots to Huaxia, and then 1,000 voters in Huaxia will manually count them and get the final results!" This is the last sentence of the documentary, and then the documentary ends, and the camera of the live TV is re-focused on our boss Jia on the stage.
"Thank you to the audience for their trust and votes in our films over the past year, starting from March 1997 to December 31, 1997, our Daqian films have collected a total of 372,866,132 votes in 5,632 cinemas around the world, of which 1,326,072 votes cannot be identified because of unclear traces, and can only be disposed of as invalid votes."
"The final number of valid ballots is: 371,540,060 votes!" Boss Jia finally announced the number of votes, and such a huge number also made the audience speechless.
With nearly 400 million votes cast in the world, what will be the result of so many voters?
And this result must be the most just, the most unquestionable, and the most in line with the choice of the people! All the audience couldn't help but sigh.
"Look behind me, everybody!" Just when everyone sighed in their hearts, Boss Jia suddenly said, the scene is the same as the audience of the TV, isn't there a big screen behind you? What's there to see?
At this time, the big screen behind Boss Jia slowly pulled away, revealing a pitch-black, hollow night.
"What's going on?" Before the audience had time to ask questions, the next second, countless lights bloomed instantly, these lights were very strong, and they belonged to the kind of lights that could shoot through the night.
This is the light from at least 100 searchlights, and along with the searchlights, they finally sent down that behind Boss Jia, there is actually a huge stadium!
At this time, everyone remembered that the place where they were sitting was the Olympic Stadium in the imperial capital.
It's just that because Daqian spent a sum of money, a huge temporary auditorium was built in the gymnasium, and everyone entered the stadium and directly entered the temporary auditorium through the passage, which gave people the feeling that they were holding an award ceremony in the theater.
But in fact, everyone is sitting on the pitch of the stadium.
As the projection screen behind Boss Jia was slowly turned on, the searchlights of the gymnasium gradually converged at a point, and everyone was surprised to find that behind Boss Jia, there was a huge glass box with a square of about 5 meters in length, width and height, and this box was full of small pieces of paper.
"What are these things?" The audience muttered to themselves curiously, and then the camera lens kept zooming in, and finally everyone finally saw clearly that the small pieces of paper that were placed in the box were small ballot papers.
"The 371,540,060 votes cast by moviegoers around the world in another year are all here, all behind us!" Boss Jia said in a loud voice.
The number of these votes is more than double the total number of votes that are the largest in the history of the United States general election.
And when these ballots were all packed in a glass box and appeared in front of everyone, everyone, including the members of the Oscar organizing committee, was completely shocked.
"This guy...... Half of the wins have already been made...... "muttered the chairman of the organizing committee. He suddenly found that even if no one received an award on the spot, this Golden Dragon Award might have been successful.
Although no one from the crew came, more than 300 million votes came, which was enough!
