"The reform of the Lingyun Award in the past two years has been really great. It is obvious that a group of people who want to do something are running this award. In recent years, as long as the films shortlisted for the Film Award will be re-screened in theaters, according to the past In three to four years, basically during this window period, the combined box office of all the shortlisted films can reach hundreds of millions."

When Chen Ziyan mentioned the performance of the Lingyun Award in recent years, she was quite emotional and agreed with it.

Among the three domestic film awards, Lu Yanhe participated the most in the Lingyun Award.

"They are really keen and have seen the changes in the drama market." Chen Ziyan said, "Actually, everyone says that domestic movies have changed a lot in recent years, but speaking of it, the market is getting bigger and the audience is getting bigger. With money, everyone is willing to go to the cinema to watch movies. If we really talk about the changes in subject matter, shooting techniques, quality and other content, I personally think that the changes in dramas are far greater than those in movies. , everything else feels like it’s going downhill.”

Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan actually feel the same way.

"However, the traditional three TV drama awards have not kept up with the changes in the situation. I am not saying that their award results are wrong, but the attribution and results of the awards sometimes reflect a trend in the entire industry. ”

Chen Ziyan continued: "Looking at the results of the three awards, I actually feel quite pessimistic that the results every year are still focused on whether there is a shady case, rather than whether the results reflect the most commendable results in the industry. ”

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"What's the meaning?"

"For example, "Friends" is the most popular TV series in China in recent years. It is firmly in the top 1 position. There is no doubt about this, right?" Chen Ziyan said, "It's not that you made this show. I I just said that, but for such a drama that has such an influence on the industry and has such a great response in the market, from the first season to the fifth season, it has never won any of the three awards. manifestation.”

Lu Yanhe hesitated for a moment.

"But... sitcoms have always been unpopular with mainstream awards."

"This itself is a paradox." Chen Ziyan said, "First, who is the mainstream for mainstream awards? Is it the mainstream of government departments, the mainstream of the industry, or the mainstream of artistic value? The definitions of mainstream have different scopes. Second, the award must be fair, but it does not mean that the award is based on the same ruler every year. There are always people who mistakenly think that the so-called fairness means that this standard is unchanging. This industry is constantly changing. The market is constantly changing.”

"Sometimes, when it comes to an award, the concept comes first. Well, they feel that in the past few years, older actors have won the awards, and they have to push the younger actors. However, among the young actors, none of the young actors' performance is the best. To convince the public, the result is a lot of criticism. Do you think they are deliberately unfair? No, but they are too self-righteous and use their own concepts to try to control the preferences of the public and the market.”

Chen Ziyan said to Lu Yanhe, "The year you won the Best Actor in "Path of Glory", luckily you won the Best Actor at the last Galaxy Award. Otherwise, there would still be controversy. In everyone's mind, the actor who should win the award, They have already won the Lingyun Award and the Feihong Award. If you win it again, others will have less doubts about you. After all, you are in a big year and the competition is too strong. "

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Indeed.

"This is the question of where people's hearts are." Chen Ziyan said, "In the year of the Best Actor Competition, you see, in fact, Shang Yongzhou, who acted with you in "Path of Glory", did not win the award in the end. Is his performance worse than the three of you actors who won awards that year? Definitely not? Yes, right? Even at the beginning, he was the most popular nominee, and his performance was really good. But when other actors who deserved to win the award appeared, everyone was actually in agreement. By this time, it was no longer the case. Then Shang Yongzhou, who needs this trophy, will not give it to him for the time being. "

"Facts have proved that, you see, the influence of the movie "Path of Glory" is far less than that of "Rouge". Zhou Yuning, who won the Lingyun Award for Best Actor, also relied on the influence of "Nine Yin" in the past eight years. "The most powerful martial arts-themed movie," Chen Ziyan said, "In your year, the selection of Best Actor caused a huge discussion, but after the commotion, everyone thought that it was the right one and it was worthy of the title. Return."

"Then if you look at the performance awards in the past two years, how many of the winners' films will truly enter the classics of Chinese film history, and how many people have actually watched those films?" Chen Ziyan curled her lips, "Just blindly. Pursuing art and absolute performance quality without considering the situation of the entire industry is also a self-destructive process. "

Lu Yanhe was thoughtful.

What made Lu Yanhe most angry about this year's Golden Tripod Award was not actually the "Friends" incident, but "Mountain Top" starring Yan Liang, which did not even help him get a nomination.

Fairness is a concept that requires self-deception to maintain a false balance even if it is known to be false.

Yan Liang's performance in the drama field in recent years is enough to be regarded as a role model for all young actors in the entire industry.

Regardless of the dedication, effort, or the quality of the character creation presented in the end, they should all be recognized.

But inexplicably, the drama "Top of the Mountain" has been ignored.

-

The news that Lingyun Award was going to hold a drama award could no longer be covered up at this stage, and it slowly spread in the industry.

However, for many people in the industry, the sudden move of Lingyun Award was linked to the public opinion crisis of Golden Tripod Award this year.

Many people speculated whether Lingyun Award wanted to replace Golden Tripod Award in the field of drama awards.

This is not an award made casually by a grass-roots team, but Lingyun Award, which is an authoritative film award in itself.

As the industry spread, it suddenly turned into a signal that "Golden Tripod Award is in danger".

-

Huang Lian did not know how many calls he received in a row.

Lingyun Award was going to be a drama award, but the spearhead was directly aimed at Golden Tripod Award.

The negative public opinion that had slowly passed was once again back.

No one expected that things would develop like this.

Huang Lian repeatedly assured people that the status of Golden Tripod Award would not be shaken by Lingyun Award.

However, verbal assurances were not counted.

The Golden Tripod Award Executive Committee held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Next year's Golden Tripod Award must not fail, and there must not be any more controversy like this year.

We must find a way to change public opinion and turn the tide.

"Invite Lu Yanhe to be a judge?" Huang Lian looked at the other people in the meeting room in shock. This was a trend he had never expected.

Someone said, "Only in this way can we bridge the gap between Lu Yanhe and our Golden Tripod Awards in the eyes of the public."

"He is only 24 years old." Huang Lian emphasized, "A 24-year-old judge? In the history of the Golden Tripod Awards, there has never been such a young judge!"

"Has there ever been an actor at the Golden Tripod Awards who almost ruined the reputation of our Golden Tripod Awards because of an actor?" Someone immediately refuted Huang Lian, "His current achievements have completely exceeded the normal level of actors of his age. It can even be said that most of the first-line actors in their thirties and forties in the circle have not achieved as much as he has."

"That's too much." Huang Lian shook his head, "I disagree."

"Then let's vote." Someone immediately said, "The Executive Committee is not up to you alone."

Huang Lian's face turned extremely ugly.

"What do you mean by this?"

"I don't agree with the vote either." Gu Mo suddenly spoke.

When he spoke, everyone else looked at him in shock.

Huang Lian was the same.

Gu Mo was Luo Yuzhong's student and had always supported Lu Yanhe. No one expected that he would oppose at this time.

"Gu Mo, do you also think Lu Yanhe is too young?"

"That's not why I'm talking about this." Gu Mo shrugged his shoulders, "It's just that I can say very clearly that even if we invite him to be a judge, he won't come."

"He won't come?" Huang Lian smiled, sneered.

Gu Mo: "Just recently, the main competition unit of the Xitul International Film Festival invited him to be a judge for next year, and he refused. The Lingyun Award for Drama invited him to be the first jury chairman, and he refused twice. Now Chen Hengyi is still lobbying him persistently."

He turned his head to look at Huang Lian.

"Chairman Huang, do you think that being a judge for the Golden Tripod Award is something that can tempt Lu Yanhe?"

After Gu Mo finished speaking, the conference room was silent.

Huang Lian's face changed again and again, his mouth opened and closed, he wanted to speak and stopped, stopped and wanted to speak again, and didn't say a word for a long time.

Gu Mo spread his hands, "So, everyone should know why I am against the vote, right? In this way, we can bridge the gap with Lu Yanhe, but the premise is that we give it, and it is what Lu Yanhe wants. When you are here to scrimp and save, others have already reached another level. What do we have to struggle for? With the current operating concept, even if Lu Yanhe is really invited here, and the public feels that the relationship between the Golden Tripod Award and Lu Yanhe has eased, so what? Even the selection of judges still cares so much about age and qualifications, not to mention the selection of awards, let the Golden Tripod Award be slowly eliminated."

"Gu Mo, don't be so extreme. Is there anyone like you who would help others to grow their ambitions and destroy your own prestige?" Someone said, "The Golden Tripod Award does have some problems, but now everyone is still thinking about solving problems."

"What problems are you solving?" Gu Mo suddenly asked.

For a moment, no one spoke.

"Does anyone know what the problem of the Golden Tripod Award is now?"

Still no one spoke.

Gu Mo looked at Huang Lian, "The biggest problem with the Golden Tripod Award is the result of this award. Hasn't it been impure from the beginning? Who can be nominated and who can't be nominated? Who decides this? Who influences this list?"

The air was very quiet.

At this moment, everyone's expression changed.

"Huang Lian took revenge on Lu Yanhe for personal reasons. It's his problem. However, who among you and the people behind you can say that their hands are clean?" Gu Mo sneered, "Invite Lu Yanhe to be a judge of the Golden Tripod Award? I don't know who came up with this idea, but I want to ask, have you ever thought about it, if you really invite Lu Yanhe to be a judge, then who can deal with him? Or let this award be clean for a year?"

Huang Lian looked at Gu Mo in shock.

"Gu Mo, what are you talking about?" someone scolded.

Gu Mo asked: "What I am saying should not be difficult to understand, right? Did I say something wrong?"

Huang Lian smiled.

"Gu Mo, did Director Luo ask you to say this?"

"You are quite interesting. What you say and do are not your own, but are all dictated by others. So in your eyes, everyone is a puppet?"

Gu Mo's words penetrated Huang Lian's heart sharply.

Huang Lian clenched his fists and looked at Gu Mo with a cold face.

"I just told a little bit of the truth. You don't need to be so nervous or excited." Gu Mo spread his hands, "These words are what I want to say. There is no instruction or instruction from others. I feel this doubt from the bottom of my heart. ——There were always a few not-so-clean moves in every previous award. At our table, we just opened the skylight and spoke openly. Lu Yanhe is here. Do you think he will accept such moves and accept a result that is not clean enough? ?”

Gu Mo's words were not so majestic that they were deafening, but after he spoke, the conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

This is a very real problem.

-

Although Lu Yanhe has not yet agreed to be the chairman of the first jury, membership invitations for the Lingyun Awards (drama category) have been sent to many people in the industry one after another.

In this invitation letter, Chen Hengyi explained in detail the operating rules, voting mechanism and original intention of such an award.

This is the first time that Chen Hengyi has introduced the Lingyun Award (drama category) to the film and television industry on a large scale and publicly.

It was all rumors before, but now it's true.

Because membership is by invitation only, whether or not you have received the invitation letter has become a topic that everyone talks about recently.

If you receive it, it means you are a recognized person in this industry. If you don't receive it, that would be terrible.

Lu Yanhe, Li Zhibai and Yan Liang all received invitation letters.

It was not unusual for the three of them to receive invitations.

In the field of drama series, the achievements of the three of them in recent years are obvious to all.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that two film directors, Wang Zhong and Liu Bige, did not receive invitations.

Wang Zhong said that Chen Hengyi called him specifically to explain.

This is a drama award. Only industry personnel who have participated in the production of dramas and have a certain influence in the field of dramas can receive invitations and become members.

When Lu Yanhe heard the news, he realized more deeply that Chen Hengyi really wanted to do a good job in this award.

It is not difficult to recruit a group of famous and influential people to become members of this award association. For an industry boss like Chen Hengyi, basically everyone will give him a favor.

However, whether you really understand the production of the series and whether you have made a contribution to this field, how should I put it? Everything is interconnected.

The football champions selected by all football players and participants in the football industry have absolutely different gold content than the football champions selected by top athletes in different sports types. Not saying that the latter will be weak, but the former must have higher industry recognition.

The so-called industry awards and professionalism are the same.

This made Lu Yanhe think again whether he should take over the job of chairman of the first jury.

"Of course I want to go." Li Zhibai felt that there was nothing to hesitate about, "You should go and tell others what is professional and what is good."

Lu Yanhe: "My biggest psychological obstacle is that I feel that I am not that capable. Can I really choose the person who is most worthy of winning the award? How can I be so virtuous and capable?"

Compared with others, Lu Yanhe would not be so humble.

But Lu Yanhe still really had something to say to Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.

"It's not like you don't know, I've always felt... to a certain extent, I'm just lucky."

"Then let me ask you, have you been in this industry for many years?" Li Zhibai asked, "Even if it's not ten years, it's been six years since you became an actor, right?"

"About?" Lu Yanhe said, "Five and a half years."

"Okay, it's not too small anyway, right?" Li Zhibai added, "You have collaborated with so many people and met so many crews, all of whom are the best creators in our industry. It can be said that big productions , small crew, best actors and actresses, newcomers and rookies, you have worked with them all. I said you are well-informed, but you wouldn’t deny it, right? The most you can say is that compared to those veteran actors, Still a little green, right?"

Lu Yanhe sighed noncommittally.

"Finally, are you selfish? Will you be fair? We usually read so many scripts, so many movies and TV dramas. When we communicate in private, aren't we quite able to speak? We speak clearly and eloquently."

Li Zhibai said: "Then when it's time for you to take the job, why don't you dare to take it? You say you're afraid that you don't have that vision, but in fact? The less selfish you are, the more you want to choose the best one. The more people are afraid of this, the more awe they will have to do it well.”

A cannon blasted out of Li Zhibai's mouth and hit Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe felt that for a moment, he was confused and then realized.

Yan Liang: "Don't be afraid of taking responsibility and consequences. If you are afraid, what should Li Zhibai and I do if we receive such an invitation in the future?"

Yan Liang has never been able to say as much as Li Zhibai, but what he says can often hit Lu Yanhe's most critical weakness.

They all knew what words to use to stimulate Lu Yanhe.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

He looked at the two people on the screen and asked, "How is your shooting going? Is Yan Liang about to finish?"

Now the two are still in the group of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Yan Liang nodded and said, "I will finish in two weeks. I am concentrating on my scenes recently."

"Then you have no time to rest and you have to go to shoot "Dragon Gate Inn" directly?"

"Yes." Yan Liang said, "And we have to shoot in the desert and shoot real scenes every day."

When Yan Liang said this, he didn't feel very hard at all, but excited, and his eyes were shining.

In order to shoot Dragon Gate Inn, Liu Bige built such an inn in the desert.

Liu Bige wanted to shoot completely in real scenes.

This is of course very helpful for the actors' performance.

But not every actor is willing to shoot in real scenes. After all, the movie "Dragon Gate Inn" can be seen from the script. If it is a real scene shooting, how difficult the shooting environment must be.

There are very few actors like Yan Liang who love to use the most realistic environment to stimulate their reactions.

You can pretend to be dedicated for a while, but you can't pretend for too long.

Lu Yanhe said: "After these few dramas, I feel that you can really go the way of an action superstar in the future."

Although the broadcast of "Liu Guang Yin" was not as expected, Yan Liang's performance in it was still well received, especially his image of a god of war, and the large number of action scenes in the drama in which he personally performed, which made the audience very satisfied.

Later, there was "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "Dragon Gate Inn".

For these dramas, Yan Liang started to do martial arts action training more than a year in advance.

Although the actions he performed were still fancy, they were not "fancy" at all in the camera.

Lu Yanhe began to seriously think about what kind of action drama script he would write for Yan Liang in the future.

Tailor-made.

Having written so many protagonists for Li Zhibai, Lu Yanhe has not yet written a serious protagonist for Yan Liang.

We are all friends, so we can’t favor one over the other.
