"Damn it, did we win an award? It's really fake. Pinch me."

"Ouch, why are you pinching me, but to be honest, I feel like I'm dreaming."

"It's really awesome. Who would have thought that we could win the jury award. Now that we are back in China, we can add to the company's trophy room."

"Is this important? Isn't the important thing about the bonus that will be received soon?"

The crew shouted excitedly. They jumped and hugged each other. They were completely unprepared for this sudden surprise.

It was only after seeing Xu Jia's understanding look that everyone realized that this was probably the work of their boss.

After all, they know their own works well. Even if they are shortlisted and nominated, there is almost zero chance of winning the award. If they can win the award under such circumstances, it must be the boss behind the scenes.

"Did you arrange it?" Yang Mi looked at Xu Jia in surprise.

During this period, she and Xu Jia were inseparable. She knew exactly what the latter was doing. How could she not know that he had greeted the jury?

"Did you forget that when we were with the chairman of the board of directors and president of Dongho Club that day, they called them small gifts? This was the sincerity they showed us and the muscle they showed off." Xu Jia explained.

Yang Mi suddenly realized that it would be excusable if someone from Dongbao Club took action.

At this time, Diao Yinan stepped forward and gave Xu Jia a hug, saying gratefully: "Thank you, Mr. Xu."

"Don't thank me, you guys did a good job taking the photos." Xu Jia said with a smile.

Then he patted the other party on the back and said: "Go up and receive the award. It's your turn to go up. After all, you made the movie, but the trophy will have to be placed in Jiaxing."

Jiaxing has won a lot of box office titles now, but not a few serious trophies.

Even if it is just this one, going back can enrich the trophy library and make Zeng Jia happy.

With the current level of advanced communications, as soon as the award was won, the news spread to the country. Most of the audience glanced at it and passed by. It was just the Tokyo International Film Festival, not the top three in Europe or the Oscars.

What really caused a stir was within Jiaxing. They had no idea that their project would win the prize.

Before going, everyone thought it was just a formality. Even Zeng Jia just asked Hu Ge to show his face and come back so that he could issue a promotional release.

"What a great news, our "The Gathering at Southern Station" won the Grand Jury Prize at the Tokyo International Film Festival." an employee shouted.

Others looked surprised, then ecstatically said: "Really or not? Damn it, Diao Dao is so stupid, Lao Hu is so stupid."

Immediately, doubts flashed through their minds. If there was really hope, the company would not fail to prepare in advance, and they had also seen the finished film. It was possible, but compared to other overseas literary and artistic films that had deeper intentions and were more daring to make because of no restrictions, it was It doesn't look that artistic anymore, so it stands to reason that it's unlikely to win an award.

"Mr. Xu and Sister Mi are also at the film festival, as you know." Another person said mysteriously.

Now everyone's doubts were completely solved. It turned out that the boss was here, so there was nothing to think about.

In their minds, their boss is a powerful being who can even win an Oscar, let alone the Tokyo International Film Festival.

"Everyone, get ready. The crew and Mr. Xu will come back after receiving the awards. We will hold a celebration banquet in the company." Zeng Jia came out and said.

Of course, this kind of thing needs to be celebrated with great fanfare, so as to show the cohesion of the company to the outside world.

As for the Magic City, there was a period of chaos.

The draft that everyone originally prepared was just the crew going through the motions at the film festival. We never thought it would win an award, so the content naturally had to change accordingly.

"Everyone, please work hard and revise the draft. We have to buy time to spread the news as soon as possible, and strike while the iron is hot to increase the exposure of the crew and Hu Ge, so we may have to work overtime today."

Yang Tianzhen paused and could hear the wailing of the propaganda department staff. No one liked this sudden increase in workload, and then said: "Don't worry, winning this award is a blessing for the whole company. I guarantee that you will all get bonuses, even if If the company doesn’t issue it, I’ll issue it to you.”

Their morale immediately cheered up. It was easy to say that they had money. They felt a little bit happy and worked harder.

Suddenly, the news that "The Party at Southern Station" won the award spread all over the Internet.

Even if many people are not interested, they are bombarded by the news and remember that a movie starring Hu Ge won an international award.

My inner impression of Hu Ge is that of the idol school, and gradually moved closer to that of the acting school.

Don't think that the public is so professional. Most of the time, they need to be guided. What's more, acting is inherently a subjective impression.

This move by the Propaganda Department at least shortened Hu Ge's path to transforming into a movie star.

"Are you so awesome? Jiaxing is a place where both literary and commercial films are blooming. Commercial films are not so popular, but literary and artistic films are also gaining momentum."

"My impression of Hu Ge is still that of Li Xiaoyao. I didn't expect this image to change so much. It seems that his acting skills have changed."

"Thank you Jiaxing for your support and love for my brother. We will continue to support Lao Hu and accompany him to become a movie actor."

Netizens also silently remembered the movie "The Party at Southern Station" and planned to watch it if they had the chance.

However, on a commercial level, the real benefit of winning an award is that in addition to helping the resumes of the crew, a large part of it is the ability to sell copyrights. Film producers in other regions often acquire films based on their awards at major film festivals. The copyright is distributed locally. This is the way for literary films to survive.

The sixth generation of domestic directors, whose underground films are banned in China, rely on this method to survive.

But colleagues can really feel what is hidden behind this news.

Jiaxing's sphere of influence has expanded, and it can even operate in Japanese film festivals. This shows that Xu Jia's globalization strategy has achieved good results.

After all, when Xu Jia was going to produce "The Runaway Player", everyone knew his ambitions. If he hadn't been interested in the global box office market, how could he have gone to great lengths to make a big-budget science fiction movie for the world? He also specially invited Cheng Dragon participated.

Originally, they thought this was just Xu Jia's wishful thinking. Even if it was feasible, it would take time. Now it seems that this guy cannot use common sense to deal with it.

The artists' thoughts are even simpler, that is, to strive to join Jiaxing and to create opportunities even if there are no opportunities.

It's very simple. Hu Ge, a TV star, made a big name for himself when he said he wanted to make a comeback. He made a name for himself when he said he wanted to enter the film industry. Everyone can see the role of Jiaxing's resources in promoting this.

"The Party at Southern Station" and "Operation Red Sea" directly pushed Hu Ge to the position of a movie star. Who wouldn't want this kind of treatment?
