Chapter 991 -919: Tribe’s Revenge
Major media outlets reported the results of the Dragon Awards.
Online discussions about this edition of the Dragon Awards were everywhere.
Xian Yu’s blog comments section was flooded with countless messages from fans and netizens:
“Oh, it’s finally our time to shine!”
“Congrats to Fish Papa for winning so many awards. I thought it’d be another runner-up situation, but Fish Papa didn’t participate in the Dragon Awards, did he? Is it because of previous disappointments?”
“This time, he finally proved himself with awards!”
“I must say, ‘The Truman Show’ truly deserved it!”
“Pity Fish Papa didn’t get Best Screenwriter; that went to Qi Continent’s film.”
“There’s not much to say about that; Qi Continent’s film had official backing, after all.”
“Personally, I think ‘Life of Pi’ had a more fascinating script. The study of human and animal nature really suited my tastes—so many metaphors, the deeper you dig, the more terrifying the implications!”
“Am I the only one who wishes Fish Papa would make more commercial films?”
“I also love the commercial films Fish Papa makes; ‘Spiderman’ really hit the spot for me!”
…
Indeed, Lin Yuan didn’t win Best Screenwriter.
That award ultimately went to a film from Qi Continent.
There wasn’t much public discussion about this result.
Because the film that took Best Screenwriter was very special: it was released close to the end of the year and had an official backing, the shooting subject was very mainstream, and the reception wasn’t bad either, so giving it Best Screenwriter was somewhat justifiable and uncontroversial.
As some people in the industry said:
Xian Yu got ganked by the officials again.
In fact, many had experienced similar situations.
Lin Yuan wasn’t particularly frustrated; he had enjoyed official benefits before, like during the Bluelympics, and knew such situations were the least reasonable.
Besides, he did win Best Film.
In terms of prestige, this award was even higher than Best Screenwriter because the Best Screenplay award was a personal honor, but Best Picture was recognition of every aspect of a film.
He didn’t dwell on the matter too much.
After breakfast, Lin Yuan went to the company.
At the office, Lin Yuan met Ol’ Zhou who had come to see him:
“Last year’s two films we shot made quite the splash at yesterday’s Dragon Awards, so the company is thinking of capitalizing on this momentum by releasing your new movie ‘Resident Evil’ at the end of this month, what do you think?”
Lin Yuan had heard about this from Xia Fan.
‘Resident Evil’ was ready for release, and the company had been considering when to release it. Following Starlight’s achievements at the Dragon Awards, Ol’ Zhou felt the time was right, so he made this arrangement.
“Sure.”
Lin Yuan had no objections.
Ol’ Zhou smiled, “Since that’s settled, I’ll go ahead and get the publicity department started on the movie promotion. Just coordinate from your end.”
“Publicity…”
Lin Yuan’s gaze flickered.
After Ol’ Zhou left, he made a phone call.
…
That very night.
The promotion for ‘Resident Evil’ was released by Starlight.
Soon after, Lin Yuan was the first to share the promotional content from Xian Yu’s account.
Sure enough.
Thanks to the hot discussions from today’s Dragon Awards, news of Lin Yuan’s new film sparked massive attention.
“A new movie? Resident Evil? Humans turning into zombies?”
“Not only is it a commercial film, but it seems to be a horror film too.”
“Support Fish Papa’s new movie, who would have thought that a man with Fish Papa’s style would also make a horror film?”
“I really didn’t expect Xian Yu to make a horror film. If you replaced the screenwriter’s name with Chu Kuang, it wouldn’t feel out of place. However, zombies have too low a horror element; they move slow and have weak defense. I could teach a zombie how to behave with just a sliding tackle.”
“So you’re saying you’re quite brave?”
“Kidding, I’m super brave!”
“This film by Xian Yu is very different from his previous style. Not only does it have horror elements, but it also features a female lead for the first time. Is he planning to set up Xia Fan for a prominent leading lady role?”
“I remember the Tribe had a film with a leading lady too.”
“Are you talking about ‘Blade Lady’? That film should also be finished. I wonder when it will be released.”
…
Meanwhile,
the entertainment industry also saw the news of Xian Yu’s new movie.
Once upon a time, Xian Yu was just a newcomer to the film industry.
No matter how successful he was in music, whether he could succeed in filmmaking was another matter.
However, with the great success of several of Xian Yu’s films, his peers no longer dared to underestimate him, and many kept an eye on this film. Upon seeing it, many in the industry laughed:
“A leading lady?”
“Starlight is taking on the Tribe head-on, aren’t they? The Tribe also made ‘Blade Lady,’ also with a leading lady. Do you think they might use that seven billion investment film to counter Starlight?”
“Hard to say.”
“The Tribe’s martial arts drama was completely dominated by Starlight. With Xian Yu this time, they might be feeling nervous.”
“That Fish is really something.”
“But I feel the Tribe’s film can definitely suppress Starlight. Xian Yu’s film choosing zombies as a focal point isn’t enough in terms of horror elements. But if it’s not a horror film, why bother with the zombie gimmick?”
“Probably wants to go down the gore route without ghostly spirits.”
“That kind of route isn’t popular, too niche, and the content could easily be restricted. The Tribe should know what to do next if they do their research. This is a great chance for them to seek revenge.”
…
At the Tribe,
The assistant looked at the latest news about Starlight, his eyes filled with excitement, “Director, our chance for revenge has come!”
“Revenge?”
Ling Kong furrowed his brows.
Seeing the news about Starlight’s female lead film, Ling Kong was naturally interested.
He had a film, ‘Blade Lady,’ that had already been completed with an investment of a whopping seven billion!
From any angle, this film seemed to have more market competitiveness than whatever ‘Resident Evil’ that Starlight was shooting.
And Ling Kong knew the lead actress in that ‘Resident Evil.’
The originally intended lead actress for ‘Blade Lady,’ whom he had ordered to be kicked out of the cast.
Such an opponent, by logic, ‘Blade Lady’ should easily be able to make a clear distinction.
But for some reason, Ling Kong didn’t know why, his eyelids kept twitching, feeling an inexplicable unease.
This made him somewhat unsteady as if he lacked the usual immediate confidence to strike at the opponent.
Was I frightened by the Three Bros?
Feeling somewhat stifled, Ling Kong suddenly bit his lip:
“Then let’s prepare to set a release date. We’ll use ‘Blade Lady’ to strike at Starlight and commence our revenge plan. They dared to provoke with a TV drama; we’ll win back the face we lost in the TV circle with a movie!”
The next day.
The Tribe’s new film ‘Blade Lady’ started its promotion and was also set to release at the end of this month!
