Become famous another day.

"Have you really decided to go to the Blue Ribbon Awards ceremony?"

Jiang Yuqian's tone on the phone was quite shocked.

"You should know what's going on now, right?"

"Yes, I know." Lu Yanhe said, "Sister Yuqian, you have arrived in the United States now, right?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuqian said, "I'm going to try on a dress tomorrow."

Jiang Yuqian was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for her role in "Squidward", and she will also attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony with Jiang Jun.

For such a global event, Jiang Yuqian's nomination and attendance will also push her career to a higher peak.

Lu Yanhe felt that ever since Jiang Yuqian figured out her path as an actress, she suddenly seemed to have turned on a magic bullet and worked hard at her job, and the more she worked, the better.

"Squid!" has been on the air for half a year, but her exposure doesn't seem to have declined at all. She is like a frequent flyer, showing up all over the world.

From film festivals to fashion weeks, from business events to award ceremonies.

When Lu Yanhe looked at Jiang Yuqian now, he actually thought of two female celebrities he knew, Fan Xiaopang and Da Mi Mi - it's not that their looks and styles are completely different, but their hardworking attitude towards their careers and their fighting spirit are so similar.

Although Lu Yanhe has always said that acting skills are the foundation of an actor.

But this doesn't mean that he doesn't appreciate such hard-working female stars.

Acting is something that requires talent. Some people have limited talent, and no matter how hard they try, they can only reach that level. But others really work hard.

Just like Jiang Yuqian, in order to transform herself and become a talented actress, she almost pushed herself out of the first-line position.

Fortunately, she came across "Squidward Floyd" at this time, and she made a comeback overnight. She even relied on this drama to reach a height she had never reached before.

Lu Yanhe admired her very much.

Moreover, given his relationship with Jiang Yuqian, as long as Jiang Yuqian refuses to give up and admit defeat, he will continue to write scripts for her.

"Squid Game" is just the beginning, there are many more scripts to come.

Of course, Lu Yanhe also very much hopes that Jiang Yuqian can still act in more good dramas, like the Hollywood movie and English TV series she has taken on. Although the roles are not important and certainly cannot be compared with "Squid Game", but, by first establishing her face and maintaining her fame and popularity, the more time she spends in the European and American circles, naturally more people will know her, which will naturally give her better opportunities.

An actor must not rely on just one or two people. Otherwise, once that person fails, the actor will also go downhill.

Of course, Jiang Yuqian has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, she must have her own rules for survival and she doesn't need Lu Yanhe to remind her.

You can tell by looking at how successful Jiang Yuqian is doing now.

Jiang Yuqian said: "In fact, Wen Yang also called me. He hopes that I can come back to attend this award ceremony. I have always said that I need to think about it."

"You don't have to agree just because I'm participating." Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "I feel that my chances of winning awards in China are slim in the next few years. If they really want to deal with me and retaliate against me, it doesn't matter to me. The worst that can happen is that I won't be nominated for acting awards in the future. My next goal isn't a domestic award anyway."

When Jiang Yuqian heard Lu Yanhe say this, she made up her mind.

"Then I will participate. I will attend as well."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned. "Why? Why did you decide so suddenly?"

Jiang Yuqian said: "It took me a long time to get over the obsession of wanting to win the award. I don't want to fall into this obsession again."

Lu Yanhe was surprised when he heard this.

Of course he understood what Jiang Yuqian meant, but he was very surprised.

He didn't expect Jiang Yuqian to be so cruel to him.

Everyone has desires.

Power, sex and money.

When it is applied to different industries and professions, it will manifest as different things.

For an actor, being famous is one desire, and winning awards is another desire.

It is human nature to pursue fame and fortune.

Since participating in the Blue Ribbon Awards ceremony would cause some people to blacklist her, making it more difficult for her to be nominated for other awards in the future, she might as well go with the flow and cut off her own retreat.

Lu Yanhe really didn't expect Jiang Yuqian to think this way.

"Sister Yuqian, isn't this a bit too exaggerated? Don't you really want to win any awards in the future?"

Lu Yanhe was surprised at Jiang Yuqian's idea.

Jiang Yuqian said: "Let it be. I will never do anything just to win an award again."

Jiang Yuqian was the first person to call Lu Yanhe to confirm whether he was really going to participate in the Blue Ribbon Awards.

After her, Lu Yanhe received a lot of calls.

Everyone is concerned about what he is thinking.

Lu Yanhe had long guessed that his decision would cause quite a reaction, but he had not expected that the reactions from his friends would be so strong.

In particular, Huang Kairen specifically asked: "Were you tricked by the Blue Ribbon Awards Organizing Committee? Don't you know that they are very controversial in the industry now?"

After hearing what Huang Kairen said, Lu Yanhe asked, "Brother Huang, don't you know why the Blue Ribbon Movement is so controversial?"

"I know. They kicked out the three judges who took bribes and replaced them with a new jury to select the nomination list." Huang Kairen said, "This is indeed very hasty. Who said that the 500 public judges were objective? We don't even know how these people were selected and how they voted. I think they are right. Those judges who took bribes have problems and must be kicked out, but where did the 500 public judges come from? Can publishing a name guarantee that they were not influenced by someone to select the list?"

Huang Kairen's words made Lu Yanhe fall into deep thought.

"Brother Huang, who told you these words?"

"what?"

"Someone must have told you this, right?"

"Yes, indeed..." Huang Kairen said, "A director I know called me and asked me if I had received an invitation from Blue Ribbon. He also told me what happened just now, saying that everyone hopes that Blue Ribbon can give an explanation for the list of 500 people, otherwise they hope that we can all unite and boycott Blue Ribbon. I said that I would definitely not boycott publicly, but I think what he said makes sense."

Lu Yanhe: "...Brother Huang, this doesn't make sense. The 500 public judges are all frontline workers from various industries. They all have names and resumes of participating in the works. If someone from the Blue Ribbon official really instructed them to favor someone, and there was a shady deal during the voting, with so many people, there would always be a few people who would spread some rumors, right?"

"You know what? Those who advised you not to attend the Blue Ribbon Awards Ceremony called a friend of mine and told him that as long as he didn't attend, he would be on the list of nominees for the Golden Tripod Awards next year." Lu Yanhe said helplessly, "They are boycotting this year's Blue Ribbon, and the reasons they told you are not at all the high-sounding ones."

Huang Kairen couldn't believe it.

However, it was Lu Yanhe who said this, so Huang Kairen had no choice but to believe it.

Lu Yanhe: "I never thought they would say this just to smear Blue Ribbon."

Huang Kairen was a little confused and said, "Then am I helping the tyrant?"

"Brother Huang, you didn't do anything to help the evil."

——You just have a little unclear mind.

Lu Yanhe had never realized before that Huang Kairen could be so easily fooled.

what happened?

Why wasn't Huang Kairen easily convinced when he asked him to act in Rouge?
"What is Lu Yanhe thinking? How dare he just go there like that?"

"I don't know what he is planning. Maybe he doesn't care about these domestic awards anymore. After all, he has already won the Best Actor award. Does it matter whether he wins the Best Actor award or not?"

Movies and television are two different circles.

The television industry wants to ban Lu Yanhe. Not to mention whether the television industry can reach a consensus, even if they reach a consensus and want to ban Lu Yanhe, Lu Yanhe can still make movies - not to mention, he can arrange to shoot dramas on his own and not play with others.

However, no matter how clearly these things are calculated, in a society where human relationships prevail, they cannot be simply calculated by addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.

Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang will all attend this year's Blue Ribbon Awards ceremony. This event has caused an uproar in the industry, and only people in the industry understand its significance.

In themselves, the three of them almost represent three types of male actors in their age group.

Lu Yanhe is a talented actor.

Li Zhibai, a popular idol.

Yan Liang is a hard-working and diligent person.

The three main acting routes are occupied by these three people, and they have achieved remarkable results.

Compared to other young actors who rely on marketing to maintain their popularity, these three actors have more than one representative work at a young age.

This confidence as an actor has made them attracted by many people and forces in the entertainment industry.

Generally speaking, if an actor sits in one of their positions, he will be more cautious. It is not easy to be in a high position. Their representativeness as young actors and the symbolic significance given to them by the industry are important cornerstones for them to settle down.

No matter what the Blue Ribbon Award is about and what its final outcome is, as long as they do not make a clear statement and do not participate, this matter will not affect the three of them.
-
Lin Suyang felt helpless and depressed.

At this moment, he suddenly empathized with Zhou Ping'an.

Li Zhibai is really difficult to manage - especially when Li Zhibai gets angry, nothing you say to him will work.

Brother, why are you joining in the fun?

And he's joining in the fun with such fanfare.

The key point is that you didn't even give him a heads up about this kind of thing, so he was completely caught off guard and didn't make any preparations.

Calls came to his cell phone one after another.

They all came to ask about his situation.
-
The situation is the same for Li Zhibai.

He turned off the phone directly.

bother.

All aspects of "Nineteen Years of Crime" are ready, and we are just waiting for the filming to start.

Li Zhi was rubbing his hands in anticipation, waiting to officially join the crew to film his first major villain role.

He cares least about the disturbances in the industry.

Who knew that Lin Suyang would come to the door.

"I know you're annoyed by those calls, but you have to answer my call. Your phone is turned off. What if I need to contact you urgently?"

Li Zhibai said: "Didn't you find me?"

He looked righteous.

Lin Suyang was speechless for a moment.

That’s true. Li Zhibai’s itinerary is generally quite clear.

He knows all about my work schedule.

During non-working hours, Li Zhibai is either at Ziyuan Bridge or back at his home. If he is going somewhere, his driver and assistant will know, so he will not lose contact without reason.

Li Zhibai: "You're not going to persuade me not to go to the Blue Ribbon Awards Ceremony, are you?"

"You've already publicly called out your opinion on Weibo, how can I persuade you? Do you want me to slap you in the face again?" Lin Suyang sighed, "You're really good at acting first and asking for your opinion later." "Then if I ask for your opinion first, will you disagree?" Li Zhibai asked, "Tell me the truth."

Lin Suyang: "I would advise you not to participate."

"You see, this is why I have to act first and report later." Li Zhibai still spoke with confidence.

After that, Li Zhibai explained: "Since Lao Lu and Yan Liang will go, I will definitely not stay out of it."

Lin Suyang: “…”

Lin Suyang said: "Aren't you afraid that if you lose everything, everyone will suffer? Can't you keep a little hope? You should know the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket, right?"

"This is exactly when we need strength in numbers. You should not put all your eggs in one basket. If you don't put all your eggs in one basket, it will be a waste of time." Li Zhibai said righteously.

Lin Suyang: "...Why are you still talking in such a complicated way now?"

He laughed angrily.

Li Zhibai: "Brother Su Yang, think about it, even if you are angry, you can't change the facts. Since it has become a foregone conclusion, you should change your mindset and think positively about everything. At least I did something conscientious, right?"

Lin Suyang looked at him expressionlessly.

"No matter how much you say, it won't change the fact that you acted first and asked for permission later."

"Will you still take me as your agent?"

Li Zhibai finally showed an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Hey, the steps are already there, just walk down."

Lin Suyang took a deep breath.

"Will you take part in the cover shoot for Weekend Men's magazine?"

"shoot."

"Will you go to the opening ceremony of the Rousseau Museum next month?"

"go."

"Will you record the show "Songs from Afar"?"

"record."

"Okay then, I'll take your step."

Li Zhibai smiled brightly and raised his chin.

"You see, the problem is easy to solve."

Lin Suyang resisted the urge to complain.
-
"Yes, I will be back."

Jiang Yuqian met a domestic media during the media interview at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

They were also the only Chinese-language media on the scene.

When asked about the news that she was invited to be the presenter for the Best Actor award at the Blue Ribbon Awards, she nodded and confirmed the news.

Jiang Yuqian was wearing a nude long dress today, and she looked so beautiful that she seemed to be glowing.

She is certainly not the heroine of tonight's ceremony, but she does not mean "a guest from afar should not steal the show".

She is beautiful, bright and flamboyant, and once she appears, she will definitely not be ignored.

This is the route Jiang Yuqian is taking now.

Combine everyone's expectations of her and bring out her greatest strengths.

"What are your expectations for tonight's results? Would you mind telling us?"

"Of course I hope to win the award." Jiang Yuqian smiled and nodded at the reporter, "You just want to hear this from me, right?"

The reporter smiled and said, "Whether you win the award or not is a matter for the future, but we all want to see your confidence in winning."

"Thank you."

"Yuqian, you are getting more and more beautiful." The reporter gave her a thumbs up.

"Thank you." Jiang Yuqian smiled and blew him and the camera a kiss, then lifted her skirt and walked forward slowly.

Too many people have walked the road to fame and fortune. No matter how famous you are, it is still a fierce and thrilling journey.

Therefore, some people walk cautiously and hesitantly.

Jiang Yuqian once went through such a stage.

Not anymore.

It's not that you have the courage to burn your boats, but that once you look ahead and behind, you will not be able to move forward.

It took Jiang Yuqian several years to understand this truth.
-
Jiang Yuqian will also return to China to attend this year's Blue Ribbon Award.

Another big news.

In the entertainment industry, everyone is talking about it.

In this way, the Blue Ribbon Awards Ceremony will never be short of popular stars.

It seems that the situation that Wen Yang fears the most will not happen.

He clenched his fists vigorously twice in the office, unable to hide his excitement at finally being relieved of his anxiety that had lasted for days.

Today, a press conference for this year's judges will also be held.

At this time, the secretary knocked on the door.

"Chairman Wen, we are about to set off."

"it is good."

Wen Yang nodded, his expression returning to normal.

An hour later, a media press conference was held.

Chen Lingling led the judging panel to attend the event.

Wen Yang, as the executive chairman of the organizing committee, also appeared on the scene.

The media reporters were also very blunt and asked right away whether Chen Lingling, as the chairperson, thought the nomination list was objective and fair.
Chen Lingling said: "As long as it is an award selection, there is no absolute objectivity and fairness. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and everyone has different aesthetics and preferences. For me, I am very satisfied with this list of nominees. Based on the dramas I have watched so far, I think many of the nominations are well-deserved."

“What criteria will you use to select this year’s winners and winning works?”

"Quality, breakthrough, and representativeness." Chen Lingling gave three key words.

"It is said that many nominees this year will not be able to come to the event due to work conflicts. When you are selecting, will you take this factor into consideration when deciding who will receive the award?" another reporter asked.

"Really? A lot of people can't come because of work conflicts?" Chen Lingling smiled. "That's a pity. I'm the chairman of the jury, which means this year's competition is absolutely fair. It would be a pity if someone won an award but didn't go on stage to receive it."

"Many people expressed disappointment that two very popular dramas this year, "Squid Game," "Ode to Swordsman," and "The 17th Floor," did not receive acting nominations at the Blue Ribbon Awards. Do you have any response?"

Chen Lingling: "First of all, I did not participate in the preliminary selection of the nomination list. This has nothing to do with me. Don't cause trouble for me."

She said this with a smile, which immediately dissipated the tense atmosphere and caused everyone to burst into laughter.

She added, "Secondly, these three dramas are not dramas that focus on character performances. Do you think these three dramas are of high quality? Of course they are, otherwise they would not have been nominated for the Best TV Drama Award and other awards. Do you think there are actors and performances that I like? There are. I have worked with Lu Yanhe before, so there is no need to say much about him. Liu Zi's performance in "Wulin Waijia" was amazing. In "Squid Game", Jiang Jun and Jiang Yuqian were both nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and Best Actress, and their performances are beyond words."

"However, each award has different focuses and evaluation guidelines, so different judges will choose different results. This is unavoidable," said Chen Lingling. "But do you think this is unfair? To be honest, when the actors of these dramas were filming these works, they should have been very clear that it might be difficult for them to win awards for their performances."

"But, several dramas that are clearly the most representative of this year's Chinese dramas have failed in the performance awards. Does this mean that there is something wrong with the domestic award system?"

"Your question deserves a lot of deep thought, but I think it's not as serious as you say." Chen Lingling said, "If you look carefully at the list of nominees for this year's Blue Ribbon Performance Awards, you will know that it is not unfair that these dramas were not nominated for performance awards. It's not that the actors did not perform well, nor is it that their roles are bad, but their roles are not very competitive in this year's nomination range. Liu Zi's performance was amazing, and she brought out a very charming female image, which is rare in the history of our film and television dramas. But to be honest, is her role more symbolic than three-dimensional? If "Wulin Wai Zhuan" was broadcast for dozens of episodes in one go, her role might be more three-dimensional and complete, but in the first season that has been broadcast so far, she really has no growth potential. If we want to discuss performance, we should be more serious about it. We can't just choose whoever has the most popular role, right? We are not choosing the audience's favorite award, so we have to look at it professionally, okay?"

Chen Lingling speaks and reacts very quickly.

"As I said before, everyone has their own standards, but I, Chen Lingling, am sitting here as the chairperson, so I must implement my standards - because this is the aesthetic standard that I have accumulated after decades of acting, directing, and watching plays. What I have to do is not to reflect on my own standards, but to not let any off-site factors affect my judgment standards. If you are not satisfied with what I said, please forgive me, anyway, I will not continue to be the chairperson of the jury next time."

Chen Lingling's words were not embellished at all, and fully displayed her pride, dominance and confidence.

However, they would rather see someone like Chen Lingling who is firm and unyielding as the chairman than someone who is trying to smooth things over and always speaks politely.

She is reassuring.

With such a violent temper, if anyone dares to ask her for connections, backdoors, or public relations, she would scold them to death.

The influence and reputation of the Blue Ribbon Award continue to grow.
-
When Wen Yang came to see Lu Yanhe again, Lu Yanhe was stunned and said, "Chairman Wen, I have already agreed to attend the award ceremony. I also brought the crew of "Friends" to you. What else do you want to do?"

Wen Yang smiled and said, "Yan He, thank you for your strong support. I suddenly remembered that you are going to do a program called "The Birth of an Actor" to focus on actor performances and discuss what is a good performance, right?"

Lu Yanhe looked at Wen Yang thoughtfully and said, "That's right, but what do you want to do? Tell me first."

"The show needs publicity. You support me and the Blue Ribbon Awards so much, so I also want to give back. How about we add a segment to the Blue Ribbon Awards Ceremony to introduce this show and do a special tribute to the actors?"

"Ah?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

Wen Yang said: "I invited five veteran performing artists to the scene, and you invited five young contestants from "The Birth of the Actors" to perform a tribute, a tribute from young actors to the older generation of actors, implying inheritance."

Lu Yanhe: "..."

On the one hand, he really wanted to complain about Wen Yang's ability to liven things up, but on the other hand, he had to admit that Wen Yang's suggestion had great publicity value for "The Birth of the Actors", as it was equivalent to using the reputation of the Blue Ribbon to promote the purpose of the show. On the other hand, this link was indeed very meaningful.

Lu Yanhe asked: "Chairman Wen, can you still invite veteran artists to come out and perform at Blue Ribbon?"

Wen Yang said: "I haven't been hanging around for nothing all these years."

Lu Yanhe: "Now that you've said that..."

Wen Yang: "The actors who came to participate definitely did not lose out. This is an official occasion for five actors who represent the young generation of actors. It is also a very meaningful appearance for them."

Lu Yanhe: "I know."

He took a deep breath and said, "I'll discuss it with them first and get back to you later. It's so urgent and I don't know if I can find five people."

"If you can't find someone, then no one in the entertainment industry will be able to find someone." Wen Yang put away the smile on his face and looked at Lu Yanhe seriously. "This time, it was you who publicly announced that you would attend, which led to the current situation. Your attitude has influenced the decisions of many people. In the past few days, several people who previously said that work conflicts have now said that their time has been coordinated and they can come to attend."

Lu Yanhe: "What do you mean my attitude affects the attitudes of many people? Don't put me on such a high pedestal. Isn't it that the first bird to stick its head out has appeared? They don't have to worry about becoming a target, so of course they will come."

Wen Yang smiled when he heard Lu Yanhe's words.

He said, "Yan He, I promise you, I will never let you become the one who sticks out and gets shot."

Lu Yanhe waved his hand.

"I have thought it through, so you don't need to cheer me up. I won't back down at the last minute," he said. "I just hope that this year's Blue Ribbon Awards can truly bring some changes to the Chinese film and television industry."

Wen Yang said solemnly: "I will definitely do it." (End of this chapter)
