The Crown Prince of Huayu!

Chapter 16 Scandal
After Han Jiadong received the Dragon Award, he submitted Shoplifters to the Berlin Film Festival.

In its previous life, the film participated in the Cannes International Film Festival, another of the three major film festivals in Europe.

And won the film festival's highest award - the Palme d'Or!
So far in the Mainland, only Farewell My Concubine has received this honor.

However, the three major European film festivals have different focuses. Being able to win awards at this film festival does not mean that you can win awards at the other two film festivals.

Among them, the Cannes Film Festival will be more commercial-focused.

The Venice Film Festival pays more attention to artistry and innovation.

The Berlin Film Festival is more serious and will pay more attention to the political and social attributes of the film.

From this point of view, the film festival that Shoplifters is most suitable for is not the award-winning Cannes Film Festival in its previous life, but the Berlin Film Festival!
The social issues reflected in Shoplifters are not unique to Hong Kong, the chosen filming location.

Developed countries and regions have more or less similar situations.

There is no such problem in the Mainland because the Mainland is still too poor. That’s all. Sooner or later, we will encounter it in the future.

In comparison, Europe was almost full of developed countries at this time.

For films like Shoplifters, it is easier to resonate and gain favor.

In addition, if the three major European film festivals were ranked in terms of their closeness to Chinese films, the Berlin Film Festival would still top the list.

It has the most nominations and wins the most awards.

In the previous session, two Chinese films were shortlisted and won awards.

Zhang Yimou also said in an interview: "The international film festival that the fifth generation of directors should be most grateful and fond of is the Berlin International Film Festival, which opened an era of Chinese films."

And at the bottom of the list is the Cannes Film Festival.

Apart from Farewell My Concubine, only "Yang Guifei" directed by Li Hanxiang decades ago has won a technical award.

Others are performance awards.

After the script was submitted for review, Han Jiadong sent two script outlines to Xu Qin, who was far away in North America, and then began to attend school with peace of mind.

December.

Two major things happened in the entertainment industry.

One is the death of Mei Yanfang.

She is also the second Hong Kong superstar to die this year after Leslie Cheung.

The other was a huge scandal.

An actor named Zhang Yu claimed to have encountered unspoken rules from more than 30 directors, and he also had audio and video recordings in his possession.

As soon as the news came out, it shocked the entire entertainment industry.

Even university campuses like Nortel are talking about it.

"I'll go! It's so exciting! It was unspoken by more than 30 directors."

On the campus path covered with light snow, the cold wind could not freeze Liu Chang's burning heart.

His name is very common in China. It is said that you can get in touch with a "Liu Chang" through up to three people.

Even a few years later, the same Nortel, the same directing department, will welcome another student named Liu Chang.

However, among the classmates of this class, Han Jiadong did not find any celebrities.

"The word "bei" is not appropriate. It should be said that there were unspoken transactions with more than 30 directors."

Han Jiadong corrected his roommate's words.

Liu Chang was confused: "What's the difference?"

He was already small, but now he was hunching his neck and covering his hands, making him look even more petite in front of the tall Han Jiadong. In addition, he also had long shawl hair. Looking from behind, those who didn't know would have thought that he and Han Jiadong next to him were a boyfriend and girlfriend.

"Only the first few times she was the one who accepted the hint. Later, she volunteered herself in exchange for the role. She even secretly recorded a video to blackmail the director in exchange for the role, which was contrary to being accepted."

When Han Jiadong walked, his waist was straight and his hands were not put in his pockets. Instead, he wore a pair of gloves.

The gloves were sent to him by Xu Qin from North America.

Liu Chang seemed to have realized something and couldn't help but curse: "Damn! The entertainment industry is really dirty!"

Han Jiadong corrected her again: "You are wrong again. She said that all her roles were performed with her body. She was obviously deliberately misleading, leading you in the direction that if you don't accept the unspoken rules, you won't get the role.

But in fact, not all actors will be cast in unspoken rules. Acting skills, appearance, figure, background... can all help actors get roles.

Her conditions were not good to begin with, and she could not compete with others in a normal audition.

Now that she has won dozens of roles by relying on unspoken rules, it is unfair to those actors who did not accept the unspoken rules and were robbed of their roles by her.

Now her words have even negated the efforts and persistence of others, and poured dirty water on those innocent people. "

Liu Chang was very surprised to hear this: "So, she should be regarded as the party who profited from the unspoken rules. Why did she jump out and break the news so angrily?"

"What she's angry about is not the unwritten rules, but that someone doesn't follow the unwritten rules!"

Han Jiadong sighed leisurely as he spoke, with a trace of imperceptible helplessness flashing in his eyes: "In the final analysis, the unspoken rules are a kind of transaction that cannot be put on the table. Both parties get what they need. Since they got the benefits, it is against personal ethics, so naturally I am embarrassed. Externally speaking, things like coercion and drugging are not unspoken rules, but should be classified as crimes!"

Liu Chang suddenly realized: "Oh! I understand, the reason why Zhang Yu wants to break the news now is because she went to bed with Huang Jianzhong, an old gangster, but Huang Jianzhong did not give her a role, breaking the unspoken rules!"

As he said that, he cursed Huang Jianzhong again: "Damn! This old gangster is really nothing! He is so old, but he still plays the game of one dragon and two phoenixes, and then refuses to admit his fault. How shameless!"

After cursing for a while, he looked up at Han Jiadong and started teasing him with a novel look on his face: "Dongzi, I didn't see it! You actually care so much about this kind of thing. You said more today than you usually say in a week. !”

Han Jiadong didn't care about his title, let alone refuted it.

This kind of scandal can be said to be fatal to the entertainment industry.

How did the sunset-red Xiangjiang entertainment industry in the previous life completely decline?
Isn't it Teacher Chen who tore off the last fig leaf of the Hong Kong entertainment industry?

Let everyone know that the Hong Kong star who looks glamorous and unattainable takes off his clothes and is no different from ordinary people!

Now that something like this happens, I don’t know how much my father’s hair will turn gray.

Thinking of this, Han Jiadong paused and changed direction.

"Hey! Dongzi, where are you going?"

"go home!"

"You're not going to rehearse the New Year's Day show?"

"I'm only responsible for the script and I don't play."

……

After leaving school, Han Jiadong didn't really go home, but took a taxi and rushed to China Film Group.

When I saw my dad in the office, he was indeed worried about this matter.

Huang Jianzhong is still a director under the name of Beijing Film Studio, which happens to be under the management of China Film Studio.

Before Han Jiadong arrived, Han Sanpin had just organized a meeting on how to handle this matter.

The result of the meeting was: cold treatment!

"Everyone is very shameless about Huang Jianzhong's behavior, but few of them have clean butts. After dealing with Huang Jianzhong, there is no guarantee that no other actress will follow suit in the future."
