399: Chapter 399 Golden Feather Award Formula

...

The Golden Feather Awards had indeed reached the number one spot on the trending list.

The original number one trend was "the knockout cast reunion," but it quickly changed to "Golden Feather dark screen."

Besides these two, there were other trending topics related to various awards, such as "Golden Feather Best Actor Young Actor Qi Ye" and "a moment of romance zero awards."

Upon clicking in, Young Actor Qi Ye's fans were already hyping him up: "Such a young Golden Feather Best Actor, dope, it's just too dope."

Unfortunately, the general public was cursing, and the insults were as harsh as they could be.

However, the question arose: Was the Golden Feather Awards afraid of being cursed?

One could only say that they had long anticipated this situation; the only difference was whether the cursing would last for one day or three.

Besides, even after the cursing, wouldn't things continue the same way next year? So, since the deed was done, it was done.

As for Lin Chuyan, he also made it onto the trending list.

"Lin Chuyan laughed"

The director had unfortunately given him a close-up, capturing him with a cold face one second, only to suddenly laugh in relief the next second when they announced, "Young Actor Qi Ye wins Best Actor."

Consequently, it was turned into a meme featuring the two contrasting expressions, which was spread everywhere.

There was no other purpose than to mock the Golden Feather Awards.

The Golden Feather Awards ceremony continued.

"Teacher, this Golden Feather Awards has something fishy going on..."

Lin Chuyan didn't wait for Li Mujian to reply and continued: "It was they who struck first, so I can't be blamed."

Li Mujian, as the person involved, had originally seen that Lin Chuyan's expression wasn't right and wanted to offer some guidance, but he didn't expect to turn his head and see him laughing.

It was good that he laughed.

He knew how sharp his disciple's mind was. Once he laughed, it would be others who would be crying.

Li Mujian nodded and spoke, his words surprising Lin Chuyan: "Do you think I'm not angry? It's not easy for an old man like me to come all this way. And what's the result? The show started at 5 o'clock, and I haven't even really eaten dinner! It's not that I must win this award, but look at who they gave it to; cursing them is completely justified."

Lin Chuyan laughed even more heartily: "Exactly, exactly. Let's go get something to eat together in a bit."

...

The subsequent proceedings were uninteresting. Since the Best Actor award had already been presented, what else was there to watch?

After it ended, some media outlets started pulling people over for questions, but none of the three master and disciples gave them any kind words.

Li Mujian smiled: "I hope the Golden Feather Awards can be fair and just. I won't say more; I'm hungry and need to go eat. Eating is more important."

Zhang Wentang was very serious: "Many thanks to the organizers for the invitation. I hope the next Golden Feather Awards can be run well."

Lin Chuyan was the most direct: "I feel like I came here for nothing!"

He spoke his mind, not caring who it offended.

The three master and disciples each gave remarks that were brief, but they expressed their meaning clearly and basically gave the Golden Feather Awards no face.

However, this was just the beginning. After the event dispersed, Lin Chuyan started posting on Weibo.

He didn't escalate the conflict—after all, for the two awards given to Zhou Shiyun and Director Mu Sheng, it was reasonable enough no matter who received them.

He focused on the "Best Supporting Actor" and "Best Actor" awards, as those were the ones that couldn't convince the public no matter what.

"Thoughts on watching the Golden Feather Awards: 《XXX is going to win an award》 《XXX is awesome》 《XXX isn't bad either》 《Holy crap, XX》!"

Everyone knew that after Lin Chuyan uttered that exclamation of "coming here for nothing," he definitely had more to say, and many people were waiting for it.

Sure enough, Lin Chuyan never disappointed.

Also, where was the essence? It lay in the fact that the previous parts were "XXX," but the last sentence became "XX."

Netizens with sharp eyes quickly discovered this point.

"Laughing to death, I'm here to finish the fill-in-the-blanks: Li Mujian is going to win an award》 Zhang Wentang is awesome》 Lin Chuyan isn't bad either》 《Holy crap, Young Actor Qi Ye!"

Other netizens carried forward this phrasing, only needing to follow the basic format.

"Li Mujian is definitely the strongest》 《Giving it to Uncle Da is also well-deserved》 Dong Peng's Crying Scene also shows great acting skills》 《Holy crap, Young Actor Qi Ye"

The sentence-making continued.

Everyone quickly realized the power of this formula. It wasn't just for movies; it could be used in all other aspects of life.

It was useful, truly useful.

With the setup laid out, the final sentence was mockery turned up to the max.

"Lin Chuyan's best album is basically set》 Ruan Xingyu's work is also superb》 Sun Yiyi might just break through the encirclement》 《Holy crap, Feng Liqian!"

"《Yao Ming is going to win MVP》 《O'Neal is a beast under the basket》 《James's fast break is awesome》 《Hey, what are you doing》!"

"《Mao Dun Literature Prize hot works are sure to win》 《Classic literature authors' new works have high acclaim》 《Internet literature top ten list leader expected to be an upset》 《Holy crap, my washed-up idol dating a diva is quite reasonable》!"

What was the most brazen part? Lin Chuyan didn't even mention anyone's name on Weibo, using only a few "XXX"s to stir up public opinion.

Moreover, originally Li Mujian and Uncle Da were competing for "Best Supporting Actor," which had nothing to do with Young Actor Qi Ye's "Best Actor" award, but now? Who cared what the award was! Everyone was putting Young Actor Qi Ye in the last sentence of the formula to whip his corpse.

Just like that, following #Golden Feather Best Actor Young Actor Qi Ye#, the guy got another trending topic.

#Holy crap Young Actor Qi Ye#

Things began to head in the direction that the Golden Feather Awards, Director Deng Yu, and the others least wanted to see.

Lin Chuyan gripped the steering wheel and slammed his foot on the gas pedal; no one was getting off tonight.

He posted on Weibo again.

"Guess the name: Pre-made meal + Best Actor = ?"

He was just playing around.

It was just that direct.

Lin Chuyan didn't say it, but once he did, everyone realized that the film for which Young Actor Qi Ye won Best Actor seemed to be a pre-made meal as well.

If "the play" followed the path of a wildly popular original youth romance novel adaptation + Valentine's Day release.

Then Young Actor Qi Ye's film this time was a copy of a previous summer box office champion that focused on terminally ill patients.

The film was copied quite well, they admitted that; but was the acting good enough to win a Golden Feather Best Actor? Far from it.

"I know how to solve this problem! Pre-made meal + Best Actor = Young Actor Qi Ye!"

"Pre-made meal Best Actor, well-deserved."

"No, where did this Young Actor Qi Ye pop out from? How come there are so many pre-made meals?"

"Is someone backing him? So this Best Actor was rigged for him this time?"

"The big boss behind him is awesome, forcing a trophy into someone's mouth."

"Young Actor Qi Ye is with Molan, Molan is with Producer Zhang Nuo, Producer Zhang Nuo is Director Deng Yu's wife."

"It matches up, it all matches up."

Young Actor Qi Ye's fans naturally hated Lin Chuyan to the core and flocked to leave comments.

Lin Chuyan replied to them one by one; he hadn't played with this crowd in a long time and his hands were a bit itchy.

"You don't even have a nomination yourself, how dare you bark here?"

Reply: "Why would I need a nomination? I only need a microwave to evaluate a pre-made meal."

"You are really vile, jealousy has made you unrecognizable."

Lin Chuyan directly replied with the meme of himself laughing in relief at the awards ceremony: "So this is what jealousy looks like."

"If 'a moment of romance' couldn't win an award, I suggest you look for the reasons within yourself."

Reply: "'a moment of romance' has an 8.4 on Douban, over 5 billion in global box office, it has both critical acclaim and box office success. Still look for reasons within myself? Get lost, don't try to make me have an internal conflict."

Director Deng Yu had been watching Weibo for a long time. Although he had previously promised Producer Zhang Nuo to endure...

But with Lin Chuyan acting like this, how could he endure it?

He couldn't endure it.

Producer Zhang Nuo was watching him from the side and pressed down on her husband's hand as he wanted to post on Weibo: "Endure it."

Director Deng Yu widened his eyes: "If I endure any longer, public opinion will all be on his side."

Producer Zhang Nuo was clear-headed: "Posting on Weibo won't win back public opinion; everyone is already on his side. Listen to me, things are already being prepared."

Fine, listen to the wife.

Director Deng Yu put down his phone.

However, while he wanted to let Lin Chuyan off, the latter did not want to let him off.

Lin Chuyan had contacted Zheng Hai and was preparing to bring "double blades" directly to the table.

He was currently posting his third Weibo.

"Sometimes, when you see a part of a patient's body that has completely rotted away, the best approach is not to bandage it up, cover it, and put a bow on top, but to quickly take a knife and cut away the rotten flesh.

'In front of the double blades, my murderous intent does not turn,'

'double blades,' what it cuts is you rotten flesh."
