"'Red Careerist' is a fast-paced drama that should suit most people's tastes. We will try our best to schedule it during this summer vacation." Yang Qian analyzed calmly, "If we do a few more roadshows, we will hopefully achieve a high box office."

"If the filming goes smoothly, The Rose Thorn will be completed before July," Su Lingxi added.

Yang Qian smiled knowingly: "That's even better. After filming The Rose Thorn, you need to devote yourself to the early promotion of the movie. Participate in more popular variety shows. There is also Milan Fashion Week. Now that you are the brand ambassador of GUCCI, you should also take time to participate."

"I'm definitely not going to be able to catch up with the Fall/Winter collection, as the filming starts next week." Su Lingxi frowned slightly, "Let's wait until the second half of the year to attend the Spring/Summer fashion week."

Yang Qian nodded and agreed: "That's fine. Anyway, GUCCI waited until the end of the Berlin Film Festival to upgrade your title. The time is really too tight."

"The Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films is held every two years. Last year, Summer of Sixteen had impressive box office results. You have a good chance of getting nominated for Best Supporting Actress for your role as Guan Mingyue this year, so I will ask Zhang Wenya to clear your time in early August. If you win, you will have to attend the awards ceremony."

The Hundred Flowers Awards have always been known as one of the three major film awards in mainland China, along with the Golden Rooster Awards and the Huabiao Awards. Although its value is not as high as the latter two, it is also considered a film award with a mass base. The selection criteria are based on the principles of watchability and popularity. The nominated actors are selected through public online voting, and then 101 judges vote on the spot to select the winners of each award.

This voting method is very friendly to high-grossing movies, and basically no company operations are required to get nominations.

Su Lingxi had also anticipated this and nodded without surprise, indicating that he understood.

According to the current situation, "The Rose Thorn" will be completed before the end of June, and she will start warming up for the release of "Red Careerist" in July and running promotional activities. She will attend the Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony in August... It seems that her life will be extremely fulfilling in the next few months.

Su Lingxi likes this feeling of being busy and fulfilled, and enjoys it very much.

"You now have a youth film and a commercial drama, as well as a love film that's about to start shooting." Yang Qian shrugged. "Although "Red Careerist" is your first leading role movie in the true sense, I think we can start laying the groundwork for future trophies now."

"As one of the three major awards, the Golden Rooster Award is the most authoritative and valuable award in the mainland film industry. It has always preferred films that are both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, and it also values ​​the values ​​conveyed by the film's content."

"If you want to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress, The Rose Thorn is unlikely to win, and you should know the reason. In comparison, Tong Yan's role has a greater chance of getting a nomination, and the company will focus on this aspect. If things don't go well, we will nominate you for Best Supporting Actress. Regardless of whether you can win the award or not, a nomination is a victory."

Su Lingxi and Shen Man had the same leading role in "Red Careerist", so even if she turned around and signed up for Best Supporting Actress, no one would find fault with it - although it was a little forced, it was actually very common in the circle to sign up for Best Supporting Actress in order to win the award.

"Of course, nomination means victory." Su Lingxi adjusted her mentality very well and joked, "The military order issued by the teacher just gave me two years. If I can be nominated this year, maybe I can win next year."

Yang Qian curled her lips and said, "You don't have to belittle yourself. There is a serious generation gap in the film industry right now. Apart from middle-aged women over 30, the number of young actresses can be counted on one hand. The judges must have taken this into consideration. In general, you still have a chance to win the award."

"As for The Rose Thorn, you have to be prepared for the possibility that it will not be well received in the mainland box office market. Compared with the mainland, Europe may prefer this kind of literary and artistic love film."

Su Lingxi knew that Yang Qian was afraid that she had become spoiled after last year's box office boom and would think that any random movie could gross over 100 million yuan.

If she was really just a newcomer, she might think so, but she was not.

She herself knows that if an art film's box office successfully exceeds 100 million, it is already an exceptionally good result. Most art films' box office is only a few million, and those that can reach tens of millions are considered outstanding.

Even many art films that were shortlisted for the main competition units of the three major European film festivals did not perform well at the box office.

"It's okay, Sister Yang. Movies aren't made just for the box office." Su Lingxi said seriously, "In mainland China, the only high-grossing movies that can make money are commercial films, but it's impossible for every actor to only act in commercial films."

Acting in a movie can be for making money, for expressing oneself, or even for winning awards.

"The Thorn of the Rose" is a film set in Hong Kong in the last century. As far as she knows, the Academy Awards have been particularly fond of this type of subject matter in recent years.

Although she is not from Hong Kong and it is extremely difficult for her to win a Golden Horse Award, how would she know if she doesn't try?

She wasn't the type to give up before she even started.

Yang Qian gave her a meaningful look and said, "It would be best if you could figure it out."

Ruan Tang was right. Although this kid is young, he has great ambitions.

She had also led several newcomers when she was in other companies. Young people are always more impetuous and think that filming is just to make money and to live a good life.

In fact, the idea itself is not bad, but this kind of idea often affects their work attitude and standards for selecting roles.

Because he wants to make quick money, he is not willing to film serious dramas with long shooting periods and low pay. He only wants to film variety shows and idol dramas, which can make money quickly and gain high popularity. They do not require a high level of skills, and sometimes he can perform an entire drama with just one expression.

Some people lose their spiritual energy in day-to-day assembly line-like work.

But Su Lingxi is different. Although she is not yet twenty years old, she can already see far into the future.

Money is only temporary; a good reputation and real awards are the real things.

Unlike what people outside the industry imagine, being an actor actually requires a lot of patience. They always shoot day after day in remote studios in various cities, and each shot must be shot at least three times, because the director not only needs to pick out the best one, but also needs to switch to different angles to shoot.

If there are too many NGs, it is possible that you can only shoot one page of the script in the whole day.

Except for the high-intensity exposure period before the movie is released and when it is popular, Su Lingxi basically spends every day like this - she even needs to balance her studies on this basis.

Yang Qian also heard Jia Jia mention that sometimes after filming she would return to the hotel and force herself to finish her homework before going to bed, which was very heartbreaking to see.

However, even so, she never complained of being tired in front of them, but would occasionally take a nap in silence while the car was moving.

Yang Qian vaguely thought she saw the 28-year-old Ruan Tang.

Just as tough, just as young and ambitious.
