spokesperson for heaven

Ji Fan wronged Lin Jing, this time really no one messed with him.

It is true that he said no public relations, because he just does not want public relations.

However, under the operation of Jiao Hongwen, it is impossible for "Laughing" not to have public relations, so there is a lot of suspense about the awards, especially the best actor.

Lin Jing didn't believe that the Golden Screen Awards dared not give him the best picture, but he was really not sure about the best actor.

This year's Golden Screen Best Actor has become a special competition between Lin Jing and Han Duo.

The two of them knew very well that in these two plays, Lin Jing's acting skills were more layered and more difficult, while Han Duo was slightly inferior.But the audience can't see it.As long as the audience can't see it, the organizing committee dares to mess around.

When the list of nominations was announced, the movie hadn't actually been released yet, and the topic of Xu You's murder was still on the cusp. Lin Jing was planning to take a rest after finishing his work, but found that he couldn't rest at all.

The first thing that bears the brunt is that there are more dinners, and all kinds of people try to make friends with him through acquaintances.

There are even some well-known directors and big bosses who will "by the way" call him over through their acquaintances when they are having dinner with someone.

He told Han Duo about this, and the latter said, "Oh, I was actually negligent. With the commercial value you've shown now, it's time to stand in line."

Lin Jing: "Stand in line?"

Han Duo didn't expect that such a transparent person would not understand this, "It's the division of factions in the film industry, such as the southern circle and the northern circle, the Beijing circle and the Hong Kong circle."

Due to some interests or personal reasons, the top group of people in the Chinese film industry basically divides the scope of activities according to "circles". The directors and artists in the same circle are all cooperative and share resources.

Lin Jing also had such a circle in his previous life, but in his impression, it was a kind of healthy competition.He didn't expect that something like a gathering of friends could lead to the idea of ​​standing in a team.

Han Duo thought for a while, and then said: "Entering the circle is the dream of many artists. A few years ago, there was a popular traffic, in order to squeeze into the Hong Kong circle, he did not hesitate to marry the daughter of a big boss, and even revealed the news of the marriage , use all kinds of show operations to wash fans, and want to take the opportunity to change the structure of fans, so as to seek transformation."

Lin Jing said: "Could it be that if I make friends with one circle, I can't participate in the projects of another circle?"

"In theory, of course," Han Duo said, "but such things are rare. Directors in the southern circle usually don't take the initiative to invite actors from the northern circle."

Lin Jing looked at Han Duo's serious expression, and felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, as if the other party had done something bad, but if he pointed it out clearly, he would appear to be hypocritical.

He turned around and turned his back to Han Duo. After doing this, he thought belatedly, this is really fucking hypocritical.

After a while, Han Duo seemed to realize that he was a little awkward, squeezed to the side of the sofa, clasped his shoulders with both hands, and said behind his ear: "Why don't you ask which circle I am from? ?”

Lin Jing: "Which circle are you from?"

"I don't have a circle."

Lin Jing turned around: "Why are you such an exception?"

Han Duo looked at him, blinked, and touched the button of his shirt with both hands.

Lin Jing moved back an inch inexplicably, watching him unbutton his shirt one by one, revealing his flexible and powerful muscles.

Han Duo took off his shirt halfway, hung it between his upper arms and propped it up with his elbows, and pointed to the number of scars on his body to Lin Jingting: "This is the first arrest operation just after graduation, left by gangsters with knives. yes……"

Finally, he pointed to the injury closest to his chest, "This was three years ago, a large-scale transnational arrest operation, and it was also the last time I was injured. Wrist injuries and waist injuries were all caused at that time. Since then I have changed careers, if I continue to go to the front line regardless of my health, I will be holding back my colleagues.”

"I went to school early and graduated from the police academy at the age of 20. Thinking about that time, I was really young." After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Jing intentionally or unintentionally, "Now I am 28, and it is very difficult to find a wife."

He didn't hide his injury at all, and he wasn't afraid of Lin Jing's distress.It's good to feel bad.

He continued: "When I changed careers, my boss asked me where I wanted to go. I had no idea at that time, so he suggested that I break into the entertainment industry."

"This old leader knows the director of CCTV, and he also has connections with the Ministry of Radio and Television and the Ministry of Culture. Almost all the high-level officials in the Ministry of Culture know that I have military merits, so the first drama I debuted was the leading man of CCTV. This is called real 'There are people above', those messy circles don't know the details and dare not touch me."

It was the first time Lin Jing heard of this way of debut, "So that's it. You don't have any special missions when you enter the circle?"

"No, I'm here to make money." Han Duo paused, "There are people like this who avoid the circle with privileges, but very few. Don't worry, I will help you find a way."

-

The thing is actually quite simple.

For the sake of profit and development, various circles in the film industry will constantly absorb newcomers. Lin Jing's brains and commercial value, the characteristics of both traffic and strength, and the extremely high popularity of the people in a series of incidents have made him Qualified to contact this level.

For Lin Jing, a rising star with a blank background, the circles are naturally interested and want to win over.

Lin Jing participated in a few wine tables, and almost made excuses to leave early.He can't drink too much, and the other side keeps trying to persuade him to drink, it's really terrible.

As time went by, everyone knew about his urinating nature, so they didn't invite him much.They are all bigwigs in the circle, and it's not that they can't do without Lin Jing, and it's fine if they can't be recruited.

Just like that, Lin Jing was free again, staying at home and concentrating on choosing scripts. After "Countdown" exploded, his film contracts came pouring in like snowflakes, almost blowing up the team's mailbox.

He had to read these scripts himself.As far as acting is concerned, he no longer sticks to the superficial quality of the script. A real actor with creative ability can turn a role full of loopholes into a wonderful one by virtue of his performance.So he picks scenes as he pleases, and even Ji Fan can't figure out what his standards are.

When Ji Fan came over, he picked out two notebooks and handed them to her.

One cannot be rejected, and the other is quite interesting.

Ji Fan opened the first book and said, "Just accept it if you want to. I'm really afraid that you'll be rebellious, so I'll reject this one too..."

In the middle of her speech, she suddenly stared, "The role they invited you to audition for is the male third! The one you marked in red is a small supporting role in some corner! Brother, do you know what the male third in "Road to a Great Country" means? ???"

Lin Jing spread his hands: "The role of the third male role is so important, and I can't play it. And that role is very difficult to get, and the competition is likely to be great. It's not the same for a small supporting role that only shows a few faces. .”

Ji Fan paused, and when he remembered that he was actually a sick child, he became a little weaker, "...Forget it, I will try my best to help you talk about it."

Then she turned to the second script, this time she hadn't opened it yet, and after reading the introduction, she began to shake her fingers, "You, you... My son's rebellion broke my heart..."

Lin Jing: "Huh?"

Ji Fan: "No, boss, there are so many good books, it's not impossible to play one that cannot be screened."

She has a heart attack.The second script that Lin Jing chose was an LGBT theme!

The protagonist of this play is a transgender person, and the whole play is about her process of changing from male to female.The character design is quite brilliant. If it is well acted, it must be able to become a classic work.

The issue is! LGBT theme!It cannot be released in mainland China!

"It's not a drama from the mainland." Lin Jing said, "Why do I feel that your work ability has declined recently? Look at the director column."

Ji Fan looked down and saw the name of a famous Chinese director in Hollywood written there.

She: "...I'm ashamed and ashamed. I lack trust in you, boss. So this movie will be released in North America?"

"It will definitely be released overseas, and the box office and word-of-mouth can't hold much hope." Lin Jing shook his head, "This drama is quite boring. I don't like the story very much, but the characters have room to play."

Ji Fan turned to the end of the book, and found that this was only an invitation for an audition, Lin Jing had to go to an audition if he wanted to get the role.This is normal, this director can be regarded as an international celebrity.

"I'll try it first. If it passes, you can talk about working hours."

"Okay..." Ji Fan glanced at the two notebooks, and suddenly said, "And the previous notice, have you read it, how should we deal with it?"

She rummaged through a pile of notebooks and pulled out a piece of paper on which was written "100 Years of Light, Shadow and Peace·Notice of International Film Centennial Awards"

When Ji Fan took this piece of paper, his attitude was very correct.

Because this is an extremely grand and grand event that has never been seen in the history of film.

From the words "international" and "hundred years", we can fully see how large the space and time dimension it has crossed, and we can also fully imagine how crowded the scene will be when it is actually held. Bright, brilliant and dazzling.

It is not an ordinary international film festival (the kind that can be organized casually once the film guilds of several small countries unite), the reason why it is so special and so valued is that the organizer of the event , is UNESCO.

The theme of the film festival is "Light, Shadow and Peace", which aims to explore the international peace situation and human cultural exchanges in the past century.

To some extent, this film festival is a political event, so in addition to the appreciation of centuries-old films, it also has a competition unit.Each participating country can choose to send two films to participate in the selection, the theme is peace and development.

Although the theme looks harmonious, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a good opportunity to promote the country's prestige. The films selected by various countries must be national image promotional films.

Competition or not is not important, what is important is to promote the country's image and deepen overseas recognition.

The two films selected by Huaxia have already decided on one, which is "Road to a Great Country", which is popular and special when it hears the name.

As for the other one, the bosses decided to select from the industry.The Ministry of Culture has issued a series of support policies for films with patriotism and pacifism themes. Before the opening of the Centennial Film Festival, everyone has the opportunity to participate in the competition.

Bian Changxiao and Ji Fan are ready to move.

"The main reason is that patriotic movies are really making money." Ji Fan snapped his fingers, "In the past few years, every year a blockbuster hits, and all of them make a lot of money. This theme has a tendency to become popular, boss. Even if it doesn't For the sake of honor, we also want to rush ducks for small money!"

Lin Jing pinched the time under the notification and pressed it on Ji Fan's face, "The People's Film Festival will be held two years later, and now I just give you an advance notice, so why are you so excited? And patriotic movies and this theme cost half a dime Does it matter?"

"It doesn't matter, you can still make it up. Boss, if you want to shoot, you have to hurry up!" Ji Fan said, "If it is a big scene war scene, two years of production time is considered a rush."

"Then hurry up and find the script, find the script and ask me for instructions."

"You, don't you have a script at hand...or an idea? Just an idea will do."

"..." Lin Jing said, "Do you really think I'm omnipotent?"

Okay, classmate Ji Fan walked away disappointed.

-

The award ceremony of the 88th Golden Screen Awards was more grand than last year, but in Lin Jing's eyes, there was always a sense of vain bluff.

Lin Jing walked the red carpet with the crew of "Countdown". It just so happened that the person walking in front was also an acquaintance, Fan Qianya.

After entering the arena, Lin Jing wanted to find his seat, but Fan Qianya pulled his arm.

The latter looked around, but no one noticed here, so he whispered to him: "I heard that you have rejected many dinners recently?"

"It was only at the beginning," Lin Jing said with a smile, "but then they didn't invite me anymore. What's the matter, sister?"

Fan Qianya was a witness to Lin Jing's half-year counterattack. Watching him go from acting badly in idol dramas to skyrocketing popularity with a movie, I always felt a vague sense of responsibility for him.

She carefully pointed out: "You don't know the key here. Now that you have climbed to this height, there are already forks in front of you, and you have to choose one of several forks. Otherwise, you will not make a single step, understand? "

She couldn't speak very clearly, but Lin Jing was not stupid.

Because of various entanglements such as interests and favors, the big names make friends with each other and form a circle, which is a relatively long-term and strong cooperation alliance.

If Lin Jing didn't join, the bosses would not have leaked resources to him. In the long run, he could only hang out with mid-level and high-level resources, and he would never be able to touch top-level resources.He will never be able to cross the threshold of the door.

In fact, making alliances is a kind of healthy competition if both parties are calm and magnanimous.But the circle culture in this world has reached the level of "standing in line" and is about to become vicious.

Among those engaged in culture, there are many who compare themselves to literati by being businessmen. They have both the philistinism of businessmen and the sourness of literati.

Fan Qianya was afraid that Lin Jing would meet such a person.Now everyone lacks him, and they don't like to talk to him. He is not afraid of lacking resources and forgetting about it.But if you meet someone who is serious, think he is out of place and dislikes, and plan to punish him... that would be bad.

She finally said: "If you think about it clearly, you must seize the opportunity for tonight's behind-the-scenes dinner. If you miss this one, you will change from being drawn to one seeking to enter the circle, and your status will be completely different. "

Lin Jing nodded his thanks, and the two separated as if nothing had happened, and took their seats.

This year's China Film Golden Screen Awards, "Countdown" received a total of eight nominations, but until the winner of the finale project was announced, only two awards were actually won--Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing.

Zhang San's long-awaited best director was awarded to "Laughing".

Obviously, this year's awards have become a cake for you and me.Countdown has a lot to offer, but because the audience couldn't see it, the association awarded the award to other films.There are only two aspects of script and editing, which can be seen with eyes and cannot be avoided.

At this point, there are still two awards pending-Best Actor and Best Picture.

There is no suspense for the best picture, it can only be "Countdown".

As for Best Actor... Everyone knows that this year's Golden Screen Awards is essentially a cake, and they also know that the judges of the Golden Screen Awards hate Lin Jing.Professionally speaking, Lin Jing is better, but Han Duo is more likely to win the award.

On the stage, the award presenter read: "Then, the actor who won the Best Actor in this year's China Film Golden Screen Awards is—"

The guest looked at the card in his hand, paused for a long time, and then said, "Laugh out loud, Han Duo!"
