Qiu Zhenze, thinking that since he had started, might as well share all his thoughts, continued: "Those top-tier celebrities have a solid standing. Occasionally taking on a crappy film wouldn’t have too much impact, so they can afford to gamble.
But your situation is critical. One wrong move could an failing to advance, so you must think carefully about this film."
Yu Yanyu, hearing this, also expressed concern: "Yeah... since the third one has such poor reviews and we haven’t even seen the script for the fourth one, the risk is so huge... maybe you should just not do it!"
He clapped his hands and his eyes brightened: "With your current popularity, you can directly apply for an assessnt from the Global Star Celebrities List headquarters to beco a top-tier celebrity. You should be able to make it without any risk."
For a top-tier celebrity, promotion must be recognized by the Global Star Celebrities List headquarters to secure their position at the top.
The assessnt isn’t exactly hard, nor is it particularly easy. According to the publicly available process, there are mainly two assessnts: one dostic and one international.
The assessnt weighs various factors like the celebrity’s popularity, standing, ability, and reputation, but the specific weight of each item isn’t clear. More detailed procedures and rules are known only to insiders.
And they say the standards for the assessnt change every year, so even knowing last year’s standards won’t help; you can’t focus on acing one particular area.
If you not only beco famous dostically but also gain so recognition overseas, promotion naturally becos a bit easier, but this is quite challenging for most celebrities.
Take Huaxia for example, many top-tier celebrities advance without the overseas assessnt because they have no recognition abroad and rely solely on the dostic market.
He Jinxia furrowed her brows and pondered deeply.
She didn’t know much about the top-tier promotion assessnt, only that there would be a voting phase requiring votes from other top-tier dostic celebrities.
If they believe you can step into the top tier, they’ll vote for you.
If they think your skills and level haven’t reached the mark, they’ll vote against you.
He Jinxia had faith in the fairness of the voting because the headquarters isn’t foolish.
She heard that if many other top-tier celebrities vote against, but the celebrity is hugely popular dostically and completely contradicts such a claim, those celebrities will receive warning notices.
Accumulating two warning notices will result in these celebrities being removed from the annually published Star Celebrities List.
So essentially, each celebrity has only one chance to make a public mistake.
The Global Star Celebrities List is recognized globally as the fairest and most impartial list. If a star is not recognized by the list, then even the people will believe that star isn’t deserving, and gradually, those removed stars’ influence will wane, becoming second-tier celebrities.
It’s a different form of blacklisting.
Backstage, Qin Siqin thought for a mont and suggested, "I think it’s too one-sided to assu the fourth one is trash just because we haven’t seen the script, especially since it’s from a renowned international director.
Since the third one flopped, the director Stanlanca hasn’t released a new movie in two years. Maybe he spent those two years working on the fourth one?
A script that takes two years to refine probably won’t be that bad. If you seize this opportunity, you’ll beco even more famous, not just advancing to a top-tier, but possibly becoming a pillar among them. It’s hard to let go of this chance, though—"
Qin Siqin shifted her tone to seriousness: "But we also can’t disregard the possibility of the film being a flop. I lean towards Yanyu’s approach. With the popularity you’ve accumulated in the past year, you’re already quite famous. This year, you can fully undergo the top-tier celebrity evaluation.
I was just pulled in to make up the numbers for this event. It’s clear you guys are building montum for Xiao Xiangyu’s Many Sorrows. If it becos a hit, you’ll be more famous than so top-tier celebs.
To be honest, you are already endorsing the luxury watch brand Vanks, aligning with top-tier endorsents, and your popularity is there; you’re just lacking a standout work."
Qiu Zhenze agreed with her viewpoint, "Previously, the films you starred in either had good reviews or good box office, but never both, and hardly any where you played the lead role.
What you’re missing is a hugely successful film where you are the main lead. Think carefully about whether Xiao Xiangyu’s Many Sorrows can deliver.
If you think it can, then start the evaluation. The evaluation could take anywhere from half a year to a year. By the end of the year, the Global Star Celebrities List ranking will be out, and everything will beco clear."
Hearing her analysis, everyone else seed enlightened, and Yu Yanyu nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, you could start the evaluation early, as long as you shine this year, it’ll all be docunted!"
He Jinxia’s face showed a hint of gratitude, "Thank you all."
Yu Yanyu shrugged: "You’re going to be my sister-in-law soon. If I don’t treat you well, who will I treat well?"
He Jinxia suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, softly saying, "Ahem, that can’t be certain. Although the plan is this year, it could also be next year, so... don’t feel pressured, guys."
Being called sister-in-law was quite embarrassing.
Ren Xiao sensed Jinxia’s embarrassnt, quickly dragged Yu Yanyu away to prevent him from blurting out sothing that would make people uncomfortable.
With Ren Xiao pulling him away, Yu Yanyu’s attention shifted, and he began bickering with Ren Xiao. This kid really lacked tact sotis.
Qin Siqin and Qiu Zhenze watched them with helpless expressions, but both were older than the rest and more composed.
Qin Siqin teased, "The advice I gave wasn’t for you; it was for the male god to quickly win the beauty. If you want to go public, you ought to at least beco top-tier first. Until then, you have to keep it under wraps, isn’t that pitiful?"
He Jinxia laughed gently, "Yes, it’s quite pitiful. I feel like I’m a big bad person myself."
Qin Siqin shivered a little and moved aside a few steps. Clearly, she wasn’t single anymore, yet why did she feel like she was getting sunburned?
In her eyes, He Jinxia was radiating an aura of love.
Qiu Zhenze was much more direct, saying, "I wonder when I can et God Sheng in person, have a al. As a junior, I’ve always admired him greatly."
He Jinxia pondered for a mont: "Last ti was a bit rushed. I’ll relay your thoughts to him; he does admire you too."
A rare blush appeared on Qiu Zhenze’s usually serious face as he stamred, "Re-really?"
Just as He Jinxia was about to say sothing, Yu Yanyu’s voice ca from nowhere, "Uncle Qiu, stop idolizing. Sheng Yan is actually younger than you; if anyone should idolize, it’s him idolizing you!"
Qiu Zhenze’s face darkened. He accepted being called old.
But to so rcilessly reveal soone’s sore spot... he felt his hands itching slightly.
Yu Yanyu, that kid definitely needed so disciplining!
