The Jin Ya Film Festival is about to begin.
This event is different from ordinary film festivals because ordinary film festivals determine rankings based on box office performance, while this one only considers the box office in the first three days to determine the ranking.
If only the first three days are considered, it poses a significant challenge to the fame of the film crew, so the initial publicity can be described as overwhelming.
China did not participate this time, so everyone is just watching for the fun of it. However, people can still contribute to the box office.
In two days, the participating films will be released.
Currently, five films are showing in cinemas. Three are special effects blockbusters from Western countries, and two are films from Han Country and Japanese Country.
Britain has put a lot of effort into its publicity. The film they shot is a traditional vampire theme, but there is great innovation in the plot. In the past, such themes mostly involved a war between humans and vampires, but this time, they have taken a different approach and made a love story between humans and vampires. The movie is titled "Count's Love" and stars a popular young couple from Britain.
In addition to the film, the theme song and插曲 were produced by Lauren, Britain's most renowned producer. Although Lauren lost to Ting Yu in the "Era Music King" competition, his popularity worldwide is still very high, and many people will support him.
Besides Britain, France and India are also participating, and both countries have themes with their own strong styles.
Of course, Han Country will not fall behind. This country also has a place in the global film industry. Films like "Mother's Friend," "Good Sister-in-law," and "Gorgeous Outing" are well-known globally. They are also good at zombie films, having produced many hits.
Their film this time is a human ethical drama, a genre they are very good at. The movie is titled "First Birth."
For the Jin Ya Film Festival, entertainment companies from several countries have put forth very high-quality productions, with actors being super popular and music being produced by top producers.
As the promotional advertisements from so many countries' films are released, everyone knows that this film festival is likely to produce one or two classics.
However, Chinese netizens find these promotional advertisements uninspired.
This is because Guang Nian Entertainment, the only one qualified, has not participated in such world-class events for a long time. This grand occasion has nothing to do with them.
"Guang Nian Entertainment is trash; they don't even dare to participate!"
"They only know how to cash in and don't have time to participate in these things, and they don't have the strength to participate."
"Anyway, I think domestic films are ruined by these capitalistic companies that only know how to cash in!"
"Who's to say they're not? It was the same in the music industry before, but they were lucky to have Ting Yu, who is now leading the Chinese music scene to the international stage."
"What about Jiang Nan? Jiang Nan has some reputation in the world, right?"
"Although Jiang Nan has a reputation, Xing Hui Entertainment is too new and simply doesn't have the opportunity to be exposed to such world-class events."
"Xing Hui Entertainment is still growing; everyone should give them more time. I believe that with Ting Yu and Jiang Nan, Xing Hui will surely grow!"
Now, Chinese netizens can only place their hopes on Jiang Nan.
After all, Jiang Nan is known as the "Little Ting Yu."
Since Ting Yu has already led the Chinese music scene to the world, Jiang Nan is the most promising person to lead Chinese film and television to the world.
However, Xing Hui Entertainment was just a small company two years ago. After two years of growth, although it has progressed by leaps and bounds, it is still a distance away from participating in such world-class events.
However, many people believe that with these two people, China will definitely be a part of such grand occasions in the future, given enough time!
As everyone was discussing, suddenly the trending topics on Weibo were flooded!
#Shocking! Japan's latest film is actually a work by Jiang Nan's team!#
#The theme song and插曲 of "Initial D" are both produced by Ting Yu!#
#Jiang Nan teams up with Ting Yu and Japan's Nive Entertainment for the new film "Initial D," taking you to experience a different kind of racer!#
Japan's promotion was overwhelming!
Soon, this news spread back to China.
Chinese netizens were stunned when they heard that the work participating in the Jin Ya Film Festival from Japan was actually produced by Jiang Nan's team!
When they learned that the theme song and插曲 of "Initial D" were both produced by Ting Yu, they were even more shocked!
These two had done such a big thing without anyone knowing.
It caught many Chinese netizens off guard.
"Who says our China isn't participating!"
"Hahaha, Jiang Nan secretly collaborated with Japan!"
"Don't celebrate too early. They collaborated with Japan, not China participating on its own. If they win, it's Japan that will be happy."
"Why collaborate with Japan? Why help outsiders? Isn't this traitorous behavior?"
"I think it's because Xing Hui doesn't have the qualifications to participate in such grand occasions, so they can only use Japan to participate."
"What's the use of that? If they win, it's not us who win."
"Why isn't it us winning? Aren't Jiang Nan and Ting Yu Chinese?"
However, after netizens reacted, some began to express their dissatisfaction.
Jiang Nan was helping Japan make a movie for this Jin Ya Film Festival.
In the eyes of some, this was naked treason.
But rational people could probably guess the reason. As mentioned earlier, Xing Hui's qualifications were not enough. The only domestic entertainment company that could participate in such events was Guang Nian Entertainment, and even Huang Chao Entertainment couldn't, as their main business was not in the film industry.
But Guang Nian Entertainment had no intention of participating, so Jiang Nan could only go to Japan as reinforcements.
"Even if Jiang Nan helps Japan, since China isn't participating in this event, why can you call him a traitor?"
"The domestic entertainment industry is not living up to expectations, and they don't allow people with dreams to participate?"
"No matter what, you can't help Japan!"
"Think whatever you want, I just can't accept it."
The internet erupted in arguments.
However, those trolls automatically ignored Ting Yu and focused all their attacks on Jiang Nan.
They didn't dare to attack Ting Yu, after all, Ting Yu had just secured a spot for China to host the "Era Music King."
Moreover, Ting Yu was only responsible for writing songs, while the film was Jiang Nan's responsibility. The focus of public opinion naturally shifted to Jiang Nan.
"Su Su, isn't this all water army from Guang Nian Entertainment? They didn't dare to participate, and now they've hired water army to scold you!" Lin Yan Yu said, brushing through the online comments, her pretty face turning red with anger.
"It's normal. I expected this kind of backlash long ago." When he agreed to cooperate with Morita Yui, he had already anticipated such situations.
However, this was not important. Helping the domestic film industry secure a spot in an international film festival was no less significant than helping China secure the venue for the "Era Music King."
Therefore, as long as "Initial D" won first place at the film festival, and he announced it, this public opinion would naturally disappear. And don't forget, he still had "Kami-kage" up his sleeve.
Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't help but smile: "I hope it's not Guang Nian Entertainment, otherwise, after this, they will really have a hard time recovering."
He didn't take Guang Nian Entertainment seriously at all, but this company kept targeting him and even riding his coattails, which made Su Yu a little angry.
And the price of his anger might be very high.
