Chapter 630

630 The bet

The trailer for God’s redemption alone was not enough to confirm Jiang SE’s performance in the film. The assistant was worried that he would be too confident. If God’s redemption did not get nominated, it would be a huge blow to shupeien’s reputation.

Shupeien waved his hand, his attitude firm. When a young actress could venture into Europe and America without age or status, even if a senior like him couldn’t give her any support, he couldn’t be so timid that he couldn’t even write down his true feelings after watching the movie.

His attitude left no room for negotiation. Moreover, he had great confidence in Jiang se. Left with no other choice, the assistant could only agree to his request. After checking the draft, he sent it to cui Zhangcheng uneasily. For a long time, he did not dare to refresh the page on the internet for fear of seeing many people’s mocking tone.

After cui Zhangcheng received the draft, he immediately posted it online.

In Shu Peien’s film review, he first confirmed the news sent back by Hua Xia Intel’s overseas reporter. Jiang se was indeed the female lead in ” God’s salvation ” and had a lot of scenes with Donald.

Secondly, shupeien was rather optimistic about ‘God’s redemption’. He also felt that this movie had the qualifications to be shortlisted for the’ century-old filmmaker ‘award. In a way, he was also praising Jiang se.

When a large number of Jiang SE’s fans in the country saw the news, they were naturally overjoyed. At the same time, the fans who had been anticipating the release of ” God’s salvation ” after watching the trailer were even more eager to watch the movie because of shupeien’s praise.

Of course, there were also people who thought that shupeien’s film review was unfair, just as his assistant had guessed. They thought that shupeien hadn’t finished watching the entire movie, and that such a sloppy film review on the first day itself was an unfair act.

There were also Shu Peien’s fans who argued for him. They felt that his anticipation of seeing ‘Jiang se walk on the red carpet in front of the sacred auditorium’ was just a kind of anticipation for Chinese actors. He wanted to let more foreign audiences see the acting skills of Chinese actors.

Due to the dispute, ” the salvation of God ” had almost taken over all the news in China recently. The number of people looking forward to the movie was increasing day by day even before it was released.

Schupeien, who was abroad, was not affected by the domestic reviews. After he finished writing the film review, he continued his journey of ‘centuries-old filmmaker’ with a peace of mind. For half a month, he watched almost all the movies that were posted in the sacred Great Hall.

There were some outstanding works in the middle, but compared to ” God’s redemption “, shupeien felt that there was something missing. Although the impulsive voting at the beginning was not fair and just, the ‘century of filmmakers’ event had been held for nearly a hundred years. During this period, the vivid and classic photos on the wall of ‘century of filmmakers’ had never left the shadow of Chinese actors. In reality, shupeien also wished that he could leave behind Jiang SE’s photo in the first real world that had a history of film history that spanned a hundred years so that future movie fans could see it.

Although his personal strength was limited, he had at least contributed what little he had to God’s redemption.

At this time, on the internet, ” the salvation of God ” was not very popular at the beginning, but it gradually became one of the remaining strong competitors on the rankings after the global gambling by film fans.

The news that Jiang se was the female lead of Cesare’s new movie had long since spread. The Western netizens were initially puzzled. In the end, when someone discovered that the chairman of centuries-old filmmaker had adjusted the screening room for the movie, they could sense the importance and popularity of the movie.

Even though the members who had watched the movie only said specious things and didn’t reveal much, some people had already smelled something special from the movie screening.

When ” the salvation of God ” first started screening, it was in a medium-sized theater in the Holy auditorium. But five days later, it was quickly changed to a large theater that could accommodate more than 600 people. In the next ten days, the theater had not changed.

This was a message worthy of attention. It proved that ” the salvation of God ” had always been a popular choice for members during its screening period. It was precisely because people often chose to watch it that it had a high attendance rate. Therefore, in the later stages of the movie, the chairman of ‘centuries-old filmmaker’ did not change the theater for ” the salvation of God “, but at the same time, he increased the number of screenings of ” the salvation of God ” from the initial three sessions per day to four.

The board’s actions attracted the attention of many movie fans. Some of them did not even believe it. They did not think that Jiang se was qualified to work with Donald either. This became the most controversial topic in the history of the century’s film history.

The investors of ” the salvation of God ” were naturally satisfied with this result. The movie had not even been released yet, but it had already reaped a wave of attention and gotten the results they wanted. Even if the movie did not make it to the finals, there would always be unconvinced audiences who would try to find out the reason why the movie was valued by the members of ‘century-old filmmakers’. The increase in box office sales was the data and the purpose of the producers!

In any case,’centuries-old filmmaker’ finally came to an end.

By the 15th of December, almost all of the members of ‘century of cinema’ had finished watching the movies and scoring them.

The sorted votes were escorted by heavily-armed guards to the staff who specialized in sorting the votes. The results would be sorted out within three days. Three days later, the 20 movies with the least votes among the 50 movies originally stationed in the sacred auditorium would be eliminated, leaving 30 movies to participate in the final nomination and selection.

The last two days were left to the board members who had the right to speak in the General Meeting to choose the best works and issue special rewards on the evening of the 20th.

According to the rules of the General Assembly, the staff organizing the votes would be completely isolated from the outside world for three days. Without any communication tools, they were not allowed to contact the outside world, and the details of each movie were prohibited.

The competition at this moment was no less intense than the final battle for the award. Every year, it was the International entertainment media that chased after the results of the competition.

Due to the fact that ” God’s salvation ” had become a hit this year, Jiang se, as the first Chinese female star who had the potential to become the ‘century-old filmmaker’, had also attracted a lot of attention.

‘The salvation of God’ was on the front page headlines every day in China, and the number of comments in Shu Peien’s column kept increasing.

His film review made many domestic audiences look forward to the release of ” God’s salvation “. At the same time, it also seemed to give more confidence to many domestic netizens who were paying attention to the election campaign of ” centuries-old filmmaker.

There were countless bets on which films of ‘century-old filmmaker’ would be shortlisted. In her spare time from work every day, Tao Tao would search for all kinds of film reviews about ‘God’s salvation’ on local and foreign websites. This was her biggest entertainment recently.

In the beginning, she only searched for reviews of the movie “the salvation of God” on the internet every day. One day, she found a gambling post by a netizen named ‘Nana’ on a licensed and legal gambling website.

This netizen named ‘Nana’ had started a bet in the post, and many people participated. Tao Tao clicked in because ‘Nana’ had started a vote, and ‘God’s salvation’ was also in it.

However, the most popular contender for this bet was director Moen from the United Kingdom. One of his works had once been selected for ‘century-old filmmaker’ and became an eternal classic. He was also a strong contender for the biggest award this time.

In comparison, the one with the highest odds was ” God’s salvation. among the few movies chosen by Nana, almost no one was interested in the movie with Jiang se as the main character. Almost all the netizens who participated in the bet had chosen Moen’s work without exception.

Every netizen who took part in the bet wrote down the reason why they chose other works over God’s redemption:

Nana: ” God’s salvation is chessley’s biggest failure. He abandoned Laura and chose a Chinese actress. He’s like every shrewd businessman who has compromised with the Chinese market in recent years. He’s lost his own character.

Arwen said,”if it weren’t for the fact that China has become rich in recent years, perhaps the salvation of God wouldn’t have chosen Chinese actresses at all. Chesare would understand that this is the worst decision he has ever made in his life.”

[Andrew’s time: it’s as if a Chinese girl has cast a spell on Chesare. Perhaps God’s redemption shouldn’t be called this, but the devil’s curse.]

Sometimes, censare’s movies were good, but they were still a long way from being a classic.

......

Some people laughed and some thought that ‘Nana’ might not make any money from this bet, but Nana replied, ” I didn’t make this bet to get anything. I just wanted to be a witness to chessaray’s defeat!

These words made Tao Tao both angry and sad. For many years,’century-old filmmaker’ had been set up, but no Chinese movie stars had ever been able to walk on it. This seemed to give many people the illusion that there were no Chinese actors worthy of being remembered.

Even when she wrote about the movies that Jiang se had acted in seriously, most of them were ridiculed.

Jiang SE’s representative works, which had performed well at the domestic box office and received much praise, did not seem to catch the attention of the arrogant netizens. In fact, there were even more people who ridiculed her.

Because of Tao Tao’s rebuttal, the post attracted a lot of attention. More and more people placed bets, including those who bet on God’s salvation. However, whenever such a person appeared, the people below would go crazy and mock such actions as doing ‘charity’.

In the midst of the boos on the screen, Tao Tao also placed her bet.

She had been working for several years. As her position in the studio had stabilized in recent years and she was valued by her boss, her salary in recent years had been quite good, and she had saved a sum of money in a few years.

Originally, she had planned to save up for another two years. This money might be enough to invest in a business in the capital and become the foundation of her life.

However, she did not hesitate to put all the hundreds of thousands of dollars into the bet for “God’s redemption “. It was a crazy move. After she had successfully placed her bet, she heard the message that the money had been transferred. She bit her lip and listened to the rapid heartbeat in her chest. She took a deep breath to calm her excitement.

As soon as the money was transferred, the gap between the movies that Nana and the others had bet on was immediately narrowed. Many netizens who had bet on the movie received a notification and left messages on the betting page to ask.

After Tao Tao placed her bet, she immediately closed the webpage.

She was not a wasteful girl. She had worked for many years, and even though her salary had risen again and again, she did not chase after famous brands, nor did she like jewelry or clothes, so she had saved most of her salary.

This was the craziest move she had ever made since she was born.

...

However, Tao Tao did not regret her bet. Instead, she felt as if she had vented her anger.

This feeling was really too childish. She blushed a little. Her colleagues in the office were busy, discussing gossip in low voices, or, like her, browsing the web. No one knew that in that instant, she had bet all the money she had saved up from years of work.

“Heavens!”

About ten minutes later, Su Min suddenly shouted loudly in the office, attracting the attention of her colleagues who were staring at their computers. Tao Tao licked her lips and calmed herself down before she looked up. Su Min was a little excited.

look at this British Gambling website. Someone has bet more than 500000 dollars on the ‘centuries-old filmmaker’ campaign!

The ‘century of filmmakers’ event was coming to an end, and it was an important moment for movie fans around the world to place their bets on which movies would be shortlisted and which movies would win the final prize.

Major licensed gambling websites were also one of the targets of media attention. Tao Tao had just placed her bet because the transaction amount displayed at the gambling house opened by Nana at that moment attracted a lot of attention. Since she had bet on the movie “God’s salvation “, many domestic media people discovered it immediately and quickly took screenshots.

Tao Tao didn’t say anything, but her colleagues had already begun a heated discussion, guessing the identity of the person who had placed the bet.

Three days passed by in a flash.’Century-old filmmaker’ would announce the results of this screening in the early morning of the 19th local time in the United States.

The time for the results was getting closer and closer, and fans all over the world were paying attention to this important event.

In front of the sacred Great Hall, fans of various directors and actors made different support items and walked down the street, giving them out to the passing crowd.

...

The nearby bars were packed with spectators. The audience who supported different directors were waiting for the official announcement of the 30 lucky winners of ‘century of filmmakers’. Some people were already preparing for the celebration in advance.

Looking out from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel that shupeien was staying in, he could see the cheering crowd outside holding light sticks. This was the moment that movie fans all over the world were looking forward to, the moment when movie fans reveled.
