This top guy only treats celebrities as his job

Chapter 295 Three major film festivals, becoming a mentor? (asking for monthly ticket)

""For Whom the Bell Tolls" was basically shortlisted for 8 nominations..."

Ding Chunling said to Lin Xing: "Because Magnolia can be nominated for a double male lead, "Death Knell" is nominated for you and Liang Yi, but Liang Yi was not nominated..."

Speaking of this, Ding Chunling smiled and said: "Actually, the crew must also know that Liang Yi does not have this ability, but after all, he still has to take his face into consideration."

Time does pass quickly.

Lin Xing really didn't expect Magnolia to start again.

Another year.

Magnolia had already started the registration process when Lin Xing lost contact, and the shortlist for the TV series was announced just a few days ago.

Next, Magnolia will successively announce the shortlists for the four major categories of overseas dramas, documentaries, cartoons, and variety shows.

This time "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has a total of six shortlisted entries.

Very angry.

In other words, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has already left Chu Chen far behind.

This plot is written in an online article so that readers can send it to them.

There are two finalists for Best Actress, Ling Jing and Qiao Lina.

The reason is also very simple, that is, Chu Chen will no longer have any influence on Lin Xing.

The industry is not surprised. How could Chu Chen be shortlisted for Magnolia with his acting skills? ?
It would be okay if he was shortlisted for dividing the pork. No matter how the Magnolia divides the pork, the prerequisite is that you have to have the ingredients for this pig.

"If you can get Magnolia TV Series this time, we will have more freedom in selecting dramas in the future."

As for Ren Yi, he was shortlisted for Best Actor.

Now Lin Xing is soaring on the road of acting.

Precisely because of this, the ratings naturally soared, even reaching the highest point higher than that of "The Big Show".

how to say?

Of course, Chu Chen's fans don't think so.

As a result, the three dramas are currently being produced while Magnolia is on.

But the audience of the TV series does not think it is a problem.

Best director.

Best Actor.

Obviously the reason for the plot.

Ding Chunling finally told such a piece of gossip with a smile.

"Now Chu Chen's fans are scolding Chu Chen's studio and the show "Eternal Life" at the same time."

Even a good person will be criticized and even criticized by others if he thinks about himself even a little bit, but a heartless person can be forgiven and saved if he just thinks about himself a little bit.

After all, as a supporting actor, it was better that Niu Xiang was not nominated for Best Supporting Actor, but Chu Chen in "Eternal Life" was a little happy that he was not nominated.

Because everyone feels that this plot has a typical three-dimensional perspective. Although it is better than the original "The Marriage of the Mother", basically everyone recognizes the actors' acting skills and thinks that the plot has negative energy.

This time, "Love in the World" has a total of 9 shortlisted entries.

Best supporting actor.

Currently, there are quite a lot of discussions on Weibo.

Although many people complained about the plot of "Love in the World", the heroine is relatively green tea, and the male protagonist is too unlucky. In the end, all the good guys in the show got sick and died, but the bad guys became famous one by one, and it was over with a light apology in the end.

Ding Chunling said with some imagination.

Of course, I just said it for fun.

Also shortlisted for Best Actor is Hou Jianlai, who was nominated for "The Power".

Best Screenplay.

Yes.

But because it is a serious drama, and it is all drama, the ratings are naturally quite high. As for Douban, the rating is only 6 points.

However, this time Magnolia’s most popular actress was Xiang Ying. Although the drama “Darkness Before Dawn” suffered from a ratings hit, Xiang Ying was still nominated for Best Actress.

As a phenomenon-level work in 2025, to be honest, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has been shortlisted for 6 categories.

Best Supporting Actress.

The phenomenal work in 2024, apart from "Anti-Gangster", is "Love in the World".

At the beginning of this year, three dramas - "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "The Dark Before Dawn", and "The King of Powers" - competed so hard that they almost lost their minds.

Because this time Magnolia has the most nominations for last year's period drama "Love in the World". This drama was also broadcast on CCTV. It is a standard drama and the actors are all talented.

You see, this is unfortunate.

Of course, fans of Chu Chen and Niu Xiang are still quite angry.

Best TV series.

Lin Xing didn't have much hope for this.

Which of the people currently shortlisted by Magnolia Emperor is not better than him? ? ?
Again.

The key is participation.

In the evening, the cast of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" had a small gathering.

"Axing, I finally see you."

"Yes, Brother Xing, your scene is too big."

"Ah Xing, when I heard that your agent couldn't contact you, I really thought it was a joke."

……

It was said to be a small gathering of the crew, but besides Dong Deng, Liang Yi, Ren Shuai, Wu Qifeng, An Yifeng, Wei Fei, Wang Lu and others were all there.

It can be said that the leading actors are all here.

This time "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is a double nominee for Best Supporting Actress.

Yes.

You may not be surprised if there are two nominees for Best Actress, but no one would have thought that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" would have two nominees for Best Supporting Actress.

One is An Yifeng and the other is Wei Fei.

These two people are the two most outstanding female characters in "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Compared with Wu Jingyi played by Wang Lu, Chen Xuewu and Lin Diewu are more influential.

In particular, An Yifeng returned to the TV drama circle with the role of Lin Diewu.

The double nomination for Best Supporting Actress is a hotly debated point.

In addition, the Best Supporting Actor in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" went to Wu Qifeng.

Not even Ren Shuai has any opinion on this.

In fact, Liu Haotian played by Wu Qifeng is really good, and he really gave a crazy performance.

But Liu Haotian’s crazy criticism was for the sake of the war of resistance.

At first, everyone really felt that Liu Haotian was too ruthless and perverted. For the Deathstroke Plan, he even killed his own people at will.

As a result, it was discovered at the end that Liu Haotian sounded the death knell with a death knell.

He had no intention of living in the first place.

Even after five months, there are still a lot of discussions and editing about Liu Haotian on Station B.

Everyone is still touched by the prelude and implementation of the Death Knell Plan, especially the Dead Spy Plan.

After all, this is the power of a drama.

Really good dramas are still popular even after so long.

This year is considered a lucky year for Wu Qifeng, or in other words, Wu Qifeng has become popular since the launch of "The Hidden Lurker" last year.

Think about it, he played military commanders in "The Hidden Man" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

The only difference is that Feng Sen, played by Wu Qifeng, is a selfish person who only seeks personal gain, while Liu Haotian is a loyal anti-Japanese fighter with deep love and loyalty to the country.

But the role of Liu Haotian is more complicated.

Because Liu Haotian's character can be described as paranoid, he is willing to sacrifice everyone, including himself, in order to complete his mission.

The same reason why Chen Xuewen said he was a lunatic was because of this.

Because of the role of Feng Sen, Wu Qifeng has received more scripts, but because of the role of Liu Haotian, Wu Qifeng has now been exposed to some scripts for male leads.

If Wu Qifeng can really win the Best Supporting Actor in Magnolia, then with the additional awards, Wu Qifeng can really go one step further. Because of this, Wu Qifeng also thanked Lin Xing.

Not only Wu Qifeng, but the entire crew is grateful to Lin Xing. After all, it was Lin Xing who invested money that allowed "For Whom the Bell Tolls" to be filmed smoothly.

Today's small gathering is actually a warm-up for the upcoming Magnolia Awards.

Everyone will definitely go there by then.

Lin Xing instantly became the center of attention as soon as he appeared.

Except for Wei Fei and An Yifeng, everyone present had basically not seen Lin Xing for a long time.

"Axing, when will your movie be released??"

Dong Deng asked first after Lin Xing sat down.

"We are still in the post-production phase for the time being. We will wait until the post-production phase is completed."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Don't worry, I may have to go to major film festivals to try my luck."

"this is necessary."

Ren Shuai said: "This kind of literary and artistic film is mainly about winning awards. If it can win a few awards at some foreign film festivals, it will be very helpful for publicity."

"Well, Director Dai is quite confident. He wants to see if he can catch up with the Venice Film Festival..."

Lin Xing said with a smile.

After all, the three major European film festivals are generally where major literary and artistic films want to compete.

Venice International Film Festival in Italy, Cannes International Film Festival in France and Berlin International Film Festival in Germany.

Needless to say, Cannes is being held this month and there is no way to make it.

As for the Berlin International Film Festival, it is generally held in February every year.

Only Venice is open from August to September every year.

What's more important is that Venice is judged on 'artistic quality'.

From Diane's point of view, he felt that "Killing Arden" could really go to Venice to develop.

"The question is, registration ends in Venice in less than half a month. Can you guys catch up???"

Dong Deng said with a slight frown.

Wei Fei on the side said: "We specially invited Hua Hai to help with the post-production. Let the post-production team catch up and there should be no problem."

You must know that Huahai has rich experience in the later period.

After all, Xin Hui paid for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in the first place and asked Hua Hai to work overtime in the later stage to complete it.

This time it’s just a return to old tricks.

"If you wait until the film is finished, you must let me watch it."

Dong Deng became interested: "I really want to take a look now."

Liang Yi also said at this time: "Yes, and my film, Ah Xing, was also submitted to Venice..."

You must know that Liang Yi also made a literary film, but his literary film has already been completed and entered post-production.

And unlike Lin Xing's film, Liang Yi's film has already been submitted to multiple film festivals.

Obviously, this literary film is also preparing to win awards.

Let's talk about it, it's really the same path in this regard.

"Then let us wish both Ah Xing and Lao Liang to become famous overseas for their artistic films..."

Dong Deng said, picking up the wine glass.

Everyone was quite happy at this gathering.

"Axing, I'm going to join the team soon."

An Yifeng said to Lin Xing: "Will you visit my class when you have time?"

"Huh? So fast??"

Lin Xing was slightly startled.

You must know that when An Yifeng was filming "Killing Ading" before, she only said that she had several scripts to choose from, but she did not say that she would join the cast.

But today he actually said that he wanted to join the group.

"Well, I quite like the script."

An Yifeng said with a smile: "It's an urban drama. It happened to be filmed in Yun Province. It talks about tourism. It can also be regarded as a tourism promotional film..."

It's a combination of filming and traveling.

"OK, no problem."

Lin Xing said: "I will go when I have time."

Not only An Yifeng, but also Wang Lu joined the cast. She also accepted an urban drama, but a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama.

Of course, Wang Lu plays the female lead this time.

Therefore, even if it is a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama, Wang Lu still fought for it.

Wang Lu also hopes that Lin Xing can visit the team.

"And I."

Ren Shuai also said: "Axing, I have taken on another spy movie, and it is currently being filmed. The male lead..."

Okay.

Everyone seems to have a bright future because of the popularity of "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

An Yifeng has returned to the TV drama industry, and she is the female lead.

Wang Lu's daughter-in-law of many years became a mother-in-law and finally took a daughter.

Ren Shuai is no longer said to be a ratings poison. He is now filming a spy drama to lead the male lead.

Speaking of which, Ren Shuai worked with Guan Peng on this drama.

It's a spy comedy.

Two male protagonists.

In addition, Wu Qifeng has actually accepted a male lead role, but has not yet filmed it.

As for Wei Fei, she did not accept the script because she was busy with "Killing Ading".

Otherwise, just relying on the role of the eldest sister, wouldn't it be appropriate for Wei Fei to take on the role of the female lead? ?

At this gathering, everyone talked about the situation individually. As for Dong Deng, he is also preparing for a new drama.

But it will take time.

On the one hand, Dong Deng wanted to sit down with Lin Xing tonight, but on the other hand, he really wanted to discuss something with Lin Xing.

"Variety show?"

Lin Xing was slightly stunned: "Let me be a mentor?"

"Well, I'm just going to record a guest flight."

Dong Deng said: "This old Liu has found me and wants me to ask you if you can spare the time. It only takes two days..."

"This……"

Lin Xing said: "Director Dong, it's not appropriate for me to be a mentor at my age."

"There is nothing inappropriate. Who cares about age in today's acting variety shows? Everything is about traffic and popularity..."

Dong Deng said it very straightforwardly: 'Old Liu only came to you because of your traffic. After all, if you participate, you will definitely bring topic to the show...'

Lin Xing hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since you have spoken, Director Dong, then I will record an episode."

Upon hearing this, Dong Deng also laughed: "Okay, I'll call Lao Liu right now."

For Lin Xing, he now needs to get away from the role of A Ding. Originally, Ding Chunling meant that Lin Xing could participate in variety shows and relax.

Lin Xing had already participated in the previous slow variety show and he didn't want to go again.

Then it would be okay to record one episode of this acting variety show.

See if you can get anything new.
