The annual Veteran Actor Award had been successfully registered.
Those invited to review the entries were all elite professors from the most prestigious film academies, along with many veteran actors who had been awarded the title of National First-Class Actor.
Moreover, Huayi was extremely generous. Every award was made of pure gold, unlike other awards, which were generally only gold-plated.
Even the Oscar Awards were gold-plated. After all, pure gold was too expensive—a pure-gold award would cost over three million.
Even a pure-silver one would cost hundreds of thousands.
Over a hundred awards were handed out every year. If they were all made of pure gold or silver, the organizers would have to spend tens of millions more than they earned each year just on the trophies.
No organizer could afford that. After all, they did not make much money from holding such award ceremonies; they mainly relied on broadcasting and advertising fees.
The better ones, such as Hong Kong's Golden Statue Awards, could charge high broadcasting fees because more people watched and paid attention to them.
But awards like the White Flower Award were held at a loss just to gain publicity. Advertising and broadcasting revenue were both tight, making it even less possible to create pure-gold or pure-silver awards.
But for Huayi, this was not a problem at all. For Jiang Siming, it was even less of one.
What he lacked least was gold and silver. No one knew how much gold he had in his underground vault. He could simply take out a few pieces and melt them down, and there would be enough for an entire ceremony.
Jiang Siming's underground vault held roughly three million taels of gold and six million taels of silver.
Converted using modern measurements, that amounted to nearly 200,000 kilograms of gold
