The Huabiao Award has a terrifying rating, and it is highly anticipated every year, while pheasant awards such as the People's Choice Award are far from comparable.

Even though resources and connections were used, there were not many media that attended the interview that night, and there were only a handful of mainstream media, and they could count them. The promised full-time live broadcast was ultimately not implemented on the TV station's simultaneous broadcast, and they could only conduct full-time live broadcast on the emerging live broadcast platform, such as Origin Live.

But although the popularity was not very high at that time, the unique award content with great explosive points set off a small craze in subsequent reports.

"...The unique award selection is jaw-dropping. It is reported that this film award, called the People's Choice Award, is contrary to the tradition of other film awards in terms of professionalism, technology, connotation, etc. All awards are linked to the number of votes. The so-called votes are from the sales of post-production discs of the movies. Each disc contains a voting coupon... It can be said that all the awards of the People's Choice Award are piled up with money. Traditional selection standards such as technical difficulty, professional level, and depth of thought have been abandoned here..."

This is what many media reported on the awards themselves, but more of them were the opinions of all parties that emerged in the next few days.

"...The well-known film critic Qin Songnian said that the People's Choice Award, which is just a money theory, is a disaster for the film industry. He believes that the award form of this film award is disrespect for the entire film industry and disrespect for all those engaged in this industry. Such a form is absolutely impossible to give birth to excellent filmmakers..."

"...When the well-known director Hou Qingwu was asked about his opinion on the People's Choice Award, which has recently broken the hottest, he laughed and said that he also wanted to participate in the competition for the award, but based on the shortlisted amount of the award this year, he laughed and said that he still needs to work hard. At the same time, he also said that the film market is full of chaos and hopes that some new investors will focus on some practical things, and don't always think about sensationalism to attract people's attention..."

"...When the reporter mentioned the award, Qin Lang, a famous and hot-tempered old artist, seemed indignant and denounced that some people nowadays not focused on their business, 'Such people should get out of the film and television industry, and such awards should get out of the film and television industry', and said that he would never participate in the selection of any awards of the People's Choice Award in his life..."

"... Mr. Feng called on young people in the industry not to be affected by this unhealthy trend, and to make solid efforts to perform and shoot the show well. Mr. Feng also revealed that a joint committee that resists the People's Choice Award is being established, and the initiators are mainly the older generation of old artists..."

It is said that it is the viewpoint of all parties, but in fact it depends on how all parties try to despise and boycott the people's choice award.

The People's Choice Award, a film award full of copper smell, is really shocking. It is gradually known under the media reports. It has now become a striking target in the circle. Many unknown or outdated stars rushed up as if they had seen a life-saving straw, stomping them through, on the one hand, they proved their noble character and correct values. On the other hand, they finally finally felt a sense of existence, and everyone spoke out, like a feast.

However, some truly top figures in the circle, such as Zhang Yi and Liu Dehua, are silent at this time. Even if they are asked about this matter in an interview, they are not concerned about it and are stubborn. Anyway, they don’t need to get involved in this matter to show their presence.

So in the short period of the Spring Festival approaching, the entertainment industry has sparked a wave of heat.

And as the initiator of this incident, Duane welcomed a rare guest in his villa in Nanyang.

"It's logical that I should have been to greet you for a New Year, but you came to your house, which really made me panic."

Duan smiled at the old man in front of him and handed over the tea he had made in his hand, "Old Jie, drink tea." After that, he sat down on the sofa, took the cup in his hand and took a sip. "Well, although I am not good at craftsmanship, this silver needle is really good."

Xie Jin, who was sitting opposite him, turned his fingers around the cup, looked at Du An and said, "I feel uncomfortable all day at home, so I can go out for a walk."

His tone was slow, his voice was low, and he sounded quite weak.

After all, I'm old and I'm really not good at it.

Xie Jin turned around and looked around the Du An’s reception room and sighed: “Your house is good. Over the years, people in this industry have been getting better and better living conditions, which is different from ours before…”

Duane knew that this was just the old man's habitual sigh, but just smiled and didn't answer.

Xie Jin glanced at him, seemed to have thought about it, and said, "You did that people's choice award?"

Du An raised his eyebrows and refused to comment, so Xie Jin smiled and became more certain, "I just knew... look at those movies that were running for election. If you want to say that this award has nothing to do with you, I really don't believe it."

"Today I'm here to celebrate your early years. In addition, I also want to tell you, don't be afraid. If you want to do things, you will definitely be told by others, but no matter what others say, do what you want, don't be afraid of being told. Anyway, I think you're doing this well..."

Du An put it in a word, "But aren't they all saying that this award is just a mess?"

Xie Jin scoffed at this.

"Breaking a fool? I think they are making fun of it!"

The old man seemed to be dead, but his temper was quite a bit serious.

"I'm watching how Chinese movies have come through over the years. I still remember the Chairman said that art is the art of the people and it must serve the people, but what have they been doing over the years? The awards and film festivals have been held many times, but they are all getting higher and higher, and farther away from the people. It's all this circle of people who are busy themselves, and the people can only watch them perform. What's the matter with the people? Your award is down-to-earth, I think it's good. Art that is separated from the people will only destroy itself..."

Du An didn't curse with Xie Jin, just smiled and talked with him.

"...You'd better not be so angry, it's important to take care of yourself."

Xie Jin shook his head, "I know my body. I am so old, have you not lived enough yet? I am free to use my remaining energy and burn the last bit of my vitality. If I can make some contribution to this industry, it will be perfect."

"I'm here today, I want to say something to you, don't care what others say, I'm on your side. Although I'm old, I still have some connections over the years. I will use my way to help you. You must hold on and not be afraid of the public opinion voices from the outside world..."

Du An understood it. It turned out that the old man saw that the public opinion was not right and was afraid that he would not be able to withstand it, so he ran to Nanyang to cheer him up and wave the flag and shout.

"Chinese movies still need to change. Although I don't understand what kind of results you can achieve in this way, it's better to change than to wait for death. The future belongs to you young people..."

Mr. Xie Jin tossed and turned around on Du An’s side for the whole afternoon to affirm his work and made him firmly not to shake his New Year. Du An’s ears were almost calloused.

After finally finishing a family dinner, he sent the old man out to take the bus, but Xie Jin stopped when he was about to enter the bus. He grabbed the car door with one hand, stopped for a while, and then slowly turned around and said his last words to him.

"Do it well, this is the old man I have been working for the rest of my life, and it can be considered a career. I definitely hope it will be better... Do it well, carry forward our industry and not let it go..."

The old man's words were full of sighs.

Du An responded ummy and hummed, took the old man into the car, then stood at the door, watching the special car gradually fading away, and finally no longer seeing it, and his last words echoed in his heart.

He never understood why Xie Jin could maintain such a lofty sense of responsibility for Chinese films, but today he vaguely understood.

This is not because the old man is born a saint with noble personality and takes the world as his responsibility, but simply because he devoted his whole life to this industry. His youth, his spirit, his joy, his sorrow, his lifelong memories and emotions have all been integrated with this industry. Chinese films have become another continuation of the old man's life, so he cares about Chinese films as much as his own life.
