All-rounder Artist-Chapter 671 - 637: I Strike Hard in Music, I Bow and Scrape in Filmmaking_1

Soon after Sun Yaohuo and others left, Gu Dong appeared in Lin Yuan’s office:

"The Shenlong Awards ceremony has begun this year. Your movie ’Spiderman’ that you made last year has been nominated for the Best Costume Award. Do you want to watch the live broadcast? Maybe we can win the award this time!"

The Shenlong Awards.

The top movie award in Blue Star.

Lin Yuan had once won the Best Music for the Shenlong Awards one year with the movie "The Tuner".

Thereafter.

Every movie Lin Yuan made was nominated for one or several awards, but he never won again!

This includes his most critically acclaimed movie "Hachiko".

This shows how high the threshold for this award is.

This time for the Shenlong Awards, Lin Yuan was nominated again for "Spiderman". The award he was nominated for was Best Costume.

It has to do with Spiderman’s battle suit.

This is the battle suit Lin Yuan designed for the male lead, Jian Yi, which once started a trend that led to the hot sale of Spiderman battle suit peripherals. Being nominated for the Best Costume Design at the Shenlong Awards was not unexpected.

In fact, Lin Yuan has been following the Shenlong Awards in recent years.

He really wanted to win the Shenlong Award again, but he has been disappointed in recent years.

The main reason he cared was not about saving face, but about the additional value the System would give to the award.

First, the Prestige Value bonus of the Shenlong Awards is terrifying!

Second, Lin Yuan has a system task related to the Shenlong Awards!

[Get recognition from the Shenlong Awards, and you can get a random treasure chest provided by the system!]

Random treasure chests are very enigmatic.

What if you randomly get a silver or even a Gold Treasure Chest?

Although Lin Yuan was aware that this dog system would most likely play a pseudo-randomness with him.

But there’s always a chance.

Moreover, even if a rubbish treasure chest is randomly chosen, the Prestige brought by the award is at least very substantial!

When "The Tuner" won the Best Music back in the day, Lin Yuan’s Prestige skyrocketed.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said:

"Let me watch then."

He turned on his computer and logged into Penguin Video.

The Shenlong Awards ceremony is considered an annual event in the entertainment industry, and every video website has a live broadcast.

Yes.

Now Han Continent has also joined in.

So at this year’s Shenlong Awards, the top film people from the Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han - almost half of the entertainment world - will attend. The audience appeal can be imagined.

Moreover, basically, after the Shenlong Awards every year, it will trigger a nationwide discussion.

Lin Yuan had just opened the live broadcast of the Shenlong Awards and saw the densely packed barrage:

"This year’s Shenlong Awards has five continents participating, which is equivalent to half of Blue Star witnessing it together!"

"It seems like it’s another year where Qi Continent’s movies dominate."

"Every year at the Shenlong Awards, although Qi Continent’s movies win the most awards, new continents have been joining, and now the Shenlong Awards are blooming."

"I predict White Night will be the best screenwriter this year."

"Cheng Nuo has the biggest hope of being the best director!"

"The competition for the best actor is red-hot this year. The performances of all the nominated actors are top-tier!"

"The competition for the best actress is also intense. But I’m rooting for Song Yuzhi."

"..."

The thing that the audience cares most about are always the best picture, best screenplay, best director, and best actor and actress.

No one discusses the best costume.

Compared with these awards, the best costume is actually a very unremarkable award.

Best Music is a much stronger award than Best Costume.

At this time.

Lin Yuan suddenly saw some comments related to him:

"As expected, Xian Yu didn’t attend the Shenlong Awards ceremony."

"If you’re always a runner-up, you definitely wouldn’t want to attend."

"Haha, Xian Yu seems to have been a runner-up for several years now. Every movie he made was nominated for the Shenlong Awards, but every time he left empty-handed."

"Didn’t he win the Best Music once?"

"It’s normal for Xian Yu to win the Best Music. Music is his main profession after all, but he never actually won an award that is really related to the movie itself."

"Let’s see if Xian Yu can win an award this time."

"Did Xian Yu get nominated?"

"He was nominated. Didn’t you see the nomination list? ’Spiderman’ was nominated for the Best Costume Award."

"Does the Shenlong Awards have this award?"

"It’s a minor award, but it’s given by the Shenlong Awards, so it should have some weight."

"Not that interesting."

"..."

Lin Yuan sighed.

Don’t treat the village chief like some negligible administrative position!

What happened to the Best Costume?

It’s still an award from the God Dragon level!

Alright then.

Lin Yuan felt unusually sour.

If only he could have won a bigger award, imagine the prestige boost!

Before Lin Yuan could even continue his lamenting,

The official award ceremony began.

It was genuinely lively on-site.

The stage was even more beautiful than "The Masked Singer". You can imagine how much it cost to host such a live event.

The barrage of comments was even more lively.

Every time the camera focused on a group of top film and television stars, it would provoke a climax from the audience.

Soon.

Lin Yuan saw a familiar film, "Dragonman".

This film, in the same period as "Spiderman", had been brutally overshadowed.

But at the God Dragon Awards, this film won Best Visual Effects.

As the live broadcast continued, the host quickly announced the recipient of the Best Costume.

"The movie that won this year’s God Dragon Award for Best Costume is…"

Lin Yuan eagerly watched.

Gu Dong, sitting next to him, also leaned over, somewhat nervous.

"Congratulations to the film ’The Queen’ for winning the Best Costume Award this time!"

Lin Yuan’s face sunk.

It appears that he’s once again just a runner-up.

Gu Dong sighed and comforted Lin Yuan, "It’s okay, Mr. Lin, we’ll try again next year!"

At this moment.

The barrage of comments started swarming in:

"Hahaha, Xian Yu is running again!"

"Every year he’s nominated, every year he runs!"

"Can’t even manage to snag small awards like the Best Costume, whereas ’Dragonman’, the film that was overshadowed by box office next door, grabbed the Best Visual Effects!"

"It seems that Xian Yu is better at making music than making films."

"Fish Papa cries in the bathroom."

"The female Spiderman’s battle suit can’t even win Best Costume? Oh, it’s not from the original movie? Never mind then."

"Here’s a joke: the only award Fish Papa won from making films is Best Music."

"Xian Yu: I hit hard in music, but I nod my head in films."

"Xian Yu: Nobody can beat me in songwriting! Nobody can beat me in filmmaking either!"

"..."

Gu Dong quickly turned off the comments.

All of a sudden, Lin Yuan was disgruntled, "Why isn’t ’Life of Pi’ done with post-production yet?"

"..."

Gu Dong weakly replied, "That film’s special effects demands are too high, but ’The Truman Show’ is ready."

Lin Yuan was somewhat furious, "Then why hasn’t it premiered? What are you waiting for?"

Gu Dong: "Huh?"

Lin Yuan realized his anger got the best of him, so he toned down a bit:

"This one works, tell Director Zhou to schedule ’The Truman Show’ to premiere this month."

He is bothered.

Lin Yuan is really bothered.

Three long years!

Ever since "The Tuner" won Best Music, Lin Yuan has been nothing but a runner-up for the entire three years!

Do you know how I made it through these three years?

I can’t believe it!

Is it just an award?

Can the Gods Dragon Awards dare to let "The Truman Show" go unnoticed next year?

And "Life of Pi"!

I may not attend next year’s God Dragon Awards!

But I must win an award!

No laughing allowed!

I will show you what cruelty truly is!
