The Golden Rooster Awards is a film award that has attracted much attention over the years. The award is not very manipulable, and in the end the only way to win is to lobby the jury, which is relatively fair.

As for how to convince the judges, the trick is more complicated.

Some people will choose to spend a large amount of public relations funds, while others will make hard-to-come-by promises or exclusive interviews... In short, everyone has their own way, and those who can get an invitation to the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony in the circle all have their own ways.

Su Lingxi tried to organize this dinner not for any shady reasons, but simply to add an extra layer of insurance for her nomination for Best Supporting Actress - after all, there are hundreds of movies released every year, and many of them are of average quality but want to be nominated. This group of people are willing to spend a lot of effort and money on public relations, which will more or less bring a certain impact to other candidates, and she is no exception.

The film quality and box office performance of "Red Careerist" are impeccable, and her performance level is fully qualified to join the competition.

It can be said that she only needs to reach out to touch this trophy.

However, the more times like this happen, the more you cannot underestimate your enemy. There are so many complicated relationships in the entertainment industry that one could be "unexpectedly" eliminated if one is not careful. That's why Su Lingxi and Yang Qian wanted to invite Bo Zhigang to have a meal and sit down to have a good talk.

Bo Zhigang is a veteran who has been in the industry for more than 30 years. He has rich experience and excellent acting skills. Although he is a bit slick, he is not a bad person.

The fact that he could openly disregard Ruan Tang's face and temporarily break the contract shows that the benefits promised to him by the other party are extremely tempting.

Soon, the car door was opened, Su Lingxi put on his mask, and followed Zhang Wenya into the community.

"Bo Zhigang called me in advance. From what he said, someone must have found him directly and told him not to keep the appointment." Yang Qian took out two bottles of soda water from the refrigerator and handed them to them.

Su Lingxi sat up straight and listened attentively as she continued to speak. "I asked him two or three times indirectly, but he refused to tell me the name of this person. I guess the person behind this is someone he can't afford to offend."

Zhang Wenya frowned: "Could it be that we have offended him at some point in the past?"

"Maybe." After a short drive, Su Lingxi recovered a lot and calmed down again. "No matter how you look at it, this is something that hurts others and does not benefit yourself."

"That's not necessarily true. What if this person is also a candidate for the Best Supporting Actress Award like you?" Zhang Wenya retorted, "If she can eliminate you, the most popular competitor, her chances of winning will naturally increase."

Su Lingxi shook her head. "If the person behind this really has such a powerful power, he can just tear off the award for himself. Why would he go through so much trouble and risk making an enemy of me?"

"Lingxi is right. This kind of trick doesn't seem to be the work of any candidate. It seems to be aimed at us." Yang Qian said with a gloomy expression, "His purpose is obviously not the award itself. He just doesn't want Lingxi to get it."

As Yang Qian finished speaking, Zhang Wenya's expression gradually turned ugly.

In fact, the fighting within the entertainment industry has never stopped, but everyone is doing it for profit, because only when there are benefits will they try their best to fight and grab.

Unless there is an irreconcilable grudge, no one would waste time doing something that harms others and does not benefit oneself.

This person took the time and energy to ruin their dinner, which shows how much he dislikes them.

But he does have the ability to mess everything up... The more Zhang Wenya thought about it, the more depressed she felt.

"Bo Zhigang is the secretary-general of the jury. Do we really want to give up our vote for him?"

The Golden Rooster Awards jury consists of 15 members, most of whom are academicians affiliated with the China Film Association. They select both the nomination list and the award list; among them, the jury director and the jury secretary-general have the most prominent positions.

Su Lingxi lowered his eyes and clenched his right hand into a fist.

No matter how she thought about it, she felt that this matter must be related to Cheng Jialang.

If she chooses to give up her vote for Bo Zhigang now, what about the votes of the other judges? Wouldn't Cheng Jialang interfere?

He is not a good person.

"I don't want to give up before I even try." Su Lingxi put the water bottle back on the table and stared into Yang Qian's eyes seriously: "Give me five minutes, I'll go to the room and make a phone call."

Yang Qian glanced at her and said, "Have you guessed who did it?"

"Probably. He's a bit of a difficult person." Su Lingxi stood up and said calmly and slightly sarcastically, "He deliberately created such a farce. It's not like the image he showed before, so I wanted to call to confirm it first."

Zhang Wenya looked at her in confusion. Before she could ask, she saw Yang Qian beside her nodded.

Zhang Wenya:?

Why does it feel like these two are playing a guessing game?

Yang Qian lived in a large flat with an exquisite layout and structure, and each room had good sound insulation. Su Lingxi did not hesitate and walked into the guest bedroom on the right slowly and closed the door.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

With a beep, the phone was picked up.

The person who answered the phone didn't speak for a long time.

"You seem to hate me?" Su Lingxi thought for a moment and decided to speak directly: "It was you who went to see Bo Zhigang tonight, right?"

"Because you don't want me to win the prize?"

"No." Cheng Jialang turned on the speakerphone and let her clear voice spread to every corner of the house. "You guessed the wrong reason."

There was a hint of laughter in his voice.

Su Lingxi paused, somewhat unsure of his attitude, "I thought you were very busy every day and didn't have time to pay attention to these little things."

"Anything related to you is not a trivial matter." Cheng Jialang smiled softly, "Isn't it a little too late to call me now?"

"Senior Bo and I have finished discussing everything we needed to discuss."

Su Lingxi calmly asked back, "It sounds like you gave him a promise that went beyond his expectations, a movie tailor-made for him?"

"He's not you. He doesn't have that much energy to devote to filming."

"Is it worth it? You used your own connections to make things difficult for me, but in the end you got nothing in return."

"This phone call is the best proof." Cheng Jialang's voice turned cold. "If I don't do this, maybe you will never contact me once in your life."

Su Lingxi's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled peacefully, but the words she said did not match the expression on her face at all - "If you think I will beg you for a trophy, you are very wrong."
