Become famous another day.

Lin Yu sat in the media seat, listening to Wen Yang's speech on the stage while sending a message to Chen Siqi.

My fingertips fly across the phone keyboard.

——This year’s preliminary list for the Blue Ribbon Award was not selected by the preliminary jury. The list selected by the preliminary jury was rejected by the organizing committee.

——At the same time, the Blue Ribbon Organizing Committee also announced that due to suspected unfair selection, Li Xiaolu, You Hao and Fang Jinsong, three members of the preliminary selection committee, will never be invited to participate in any Blue Ribbon activities.

……

On the stage, Wen Yang said: "Therefore, in order to ensure the fairness and objectivity of this year's Blue Ribbon Awards and not delay the final review, we invited 500 public judges to select this year's nomination list. The 500 public judges are front-line workers from all walks of life related to film and television. With their consent, the list will be released later."

Lin Yu took a deep breath.

The surroundings were filled with disbelieving discussions.

How shocking this news is can be seen from the situation at the scene.

This is the top domestic film and television award, and the first to include ordinary staff and audiences in the judging system.

Even if there is a reason.

Lin Yu believed that Wen Yang would hold a press conference specifically for this matter, and there must be something else to announce.

Sure enough, the next second, Wen Yang continued, "Starting from this year's Blue Ribbon Awards, the preliminary review of each year in the future will adopt a voting mechanism of 500 public judges to select the nomination list."

Inside the venue, the sounds of people talking and discussing were so loud that it almost blew the roof off.

A reporter asked: "We have received news that during the application process for this year's Blue Ribbon Awards, the organizing committee proposed amendments to some of the applications. This has never happened before. Why did this happen?"

Wen Yang said, "You are talking about applying for the Best Supporting Actor Award. We suggest changing it to applying for the Best Leading Actor Award, right? This does exist, and our original intention is very simple, to make the supporting actor award truly belong to the hands of supporting actors. We know that in fact, many applicants apply for supporting actor awards in accordance with the regulations, because as long as they are not the first, they can actually be considered a supporting actor. But in fact, we have seen the works and we all know that there are many leading actors among the non-first roles, and they are just as brilliant. Compared with them, supporting actors need such an award more, so that they can get our attention and the brilliance of supporting actors can be discovered. This is our original intention to propose a revision."

"Blue Ribbon is a big step forward."

“No wonder this year’s list of nominations…looks like this.”

"It's unfair to directly announce the list selected in the preliminary review. Tsk tsk, this makes it difficult for the Golden Tripod Awards."

"Don't even bother with the fig leaf, just tear it off."

"Fang Jinsong posted on WeChat Moments, saying he was being slandered."

"It's boring. If he has the guts, he should just say it on a public platform. He's just trying to save face by putting on this kind of attitude. Wen Yang even dared to name him directly at the press conference. He must have evidence."

"Every year, these people have been sneaking in some smuggled goods, and today they were pecked in the eye by the eagle."

"I've long been tired of it."

……

Lu Qingzhen and her girlfriends sat together for afternoon tea and naturally talked about this explosive news.

Lu Qingzhen’s best friends all work in the same industry or in industries related to this one.

They often exchange news with each other.

Lu Qingzhen asked: "It seems that the new Blue Ribbon's Wen Yang is a bit ruthless. He is so decisive and straightforward, showing no mercy at all."

"Generally speaking, this kind of thing will not be exposed directly. Even if it is discovered, it will only be handled privately. Chinese people still believe that family disgrace should not be made public. But Wen Yang is said to be a tough guy. It's a rumor, and I don't guarantee its authenticity. It is said that he just wanted the three of them to withdraw from the jury and vote again. As a result, someone from the organizing committee came to lobby him that night. Not only people from the organizing committee, but also many others came to persuade Wen Yang to turn a blind eye. Wen Yang just... flipped the table."

"This man is quite awesome and ruthless."

"What is Wen Yang afraid of? Look at his resume. He must have someone backing him up. Otherwise, how could he be so successful in so many circles?"

"The blue ribbon has changed, and I don't know what will happen next."

"I'm more curious about how the Golden Tripod Award will fare in this matter."

“To be honest, the works shortlisted for the Blue Ribbon Awards are indeed quite impressive.”

"It is inevitable that some prizes will be missed out on an award. The key is to see whether the nominated works can convince the public. Don't let the ones that should be nominated not be nominated, while the ones that shouldn't be nominated are on the list."

"Haven't you heard that someone has called on people in the industry not to attend this year's Blue Ribbon Film Festival?" "Ah? How can you call on them? Are you not going even though you've been nominated?"

"It is said that some people have already agreed not to go."

"Then I guess there is no hope of winning the award."

"We don't know what those people in the entertainment industry are thinking, but I don't believe that people who have a chance to win an award won't go."

Lu Qingzhen listened to everyone's discussion, and only sent some messages to Chen Ziyan after it ended.
-
Landing.

Hundreds of unread messages came into my phone.

Chen Ziyan checked the message immediately.

The plane is still taxiing.

Chen Ziyan turned to Lu Yanhe and said, "Sure enough, things have gotten out of hand."

Lu Yanhe was also looking at the messages on his phone.

During the long flight, so much happened in the world.

The Blue Ribbon Award became the most explosive thing in the entertainment industry.

Fortunately, this incident had nothing to do with Lu Yanhe, and he just needed to be content and watch. However, Blue Ribbon's big move affected the entire entertainment industry, so it couldn't be said that it had nothing to do with him.

After a while, Chen Ziyan said: "If this matter continues to ferment, it is very likely that some people will be exposed."

"Hmm?" Lu Yanhe didn't understand.

Chen Ziyan said: "You have to know that the three major domestic awards cannot be completely clean."

Relationships, favors, exchange of interests... In fact, everyone knows that no award selection can completely eliminate these phenomena, but as long as they are not exposed and no solid evidence is found, every year when the results are announced there will be people shouting about a shady deal, and only one or two of them will eventually become real scandals. In most cases, their value is eventually recognized by the public.

And once it is revealed that someone really won the award by relying on these things, it will become a major international scandal.

"As soon as Wen Yang's press conference started, Jiang Mingzheng started to be scolded. Some people also started to attack Jiang Mingzheng, saying that he got the Best Actor award at the Red River Awards through fraud." Chen Ziyan said, "Jiang Mingzheng is now on the hot search because of being scolded."

"Is everyone in favor of the way Blue Ribbon determined the nomination list this year?"

"Yes, compared to a dozen professional judges, especially when there are judges who violate impartiality and are publicly named, everyone will of course trust the list selected by 500 people more." Chen Ziyan said, "At this time, if there is a nomination list decided at the beginning, the two will be compared, and the drama that is finally eliminated will be embarrassed."

"Even if they were taken down, it doesn't mean they were really doing these backstage deals, right? It's also possible that they simply weren't liked by the 500 public judges?"

"Yes, so I hope this matter can be properly resolved. I feel conflicted right now. On the one hand, I hope to use this incident to purge some of the bad guys in the industry, but on the other hand, I am worried that the matter will get too big and affect the operation of the entire industry." Chen Ziyan said, "After all, in the past environment, it was impossible for any production company, platform, or crew to completely stop doing public relations. It just depends on the extent to which they do it."

Lu Yanhe understood what Chen Ziyan meant.

To put it bluntly, in the environment of the past, no one was clean.

Because you can't survive cleanly.

Lu Yanhe suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sister Zi Yan, is there any problem with my nomination and winning the award?"

"No, don't worry." Chen Ziyan said, "At your age now, even if you don't win any awards, I don't plan to work for you."

"No, please don't help me with this in the future." Lu Yanhe said, "Really, just like you said, once it's done, it will become a stain on my life."

Chen Ziyan: "When I really feel that I need to make a move one day, it must be a better time than being eliminated from the entertainment industry even if it leaves a stain on my life."

Lu Yanhe smiled.

"Fortunately, I have already won an award, so I don't have to worry anymore."

"People are really like this. After winning a big award, their mentality is completely different from before." Chen Ziyan said, "Looking at you now, I really don't know how high you will reach in the future." (End of this chapter)
