I was just thinking about taking the arts exam and you said I've been playing supporting roles

Chapter 286: Beijing Film Academy’s Arrangement! The whole network is fermenting!

Xia Yu’s age mentioned above was wrong. It should be 17 years old. It has been corrected.

----

At this time, at the home of Zhang Huijun, president of Beijing Film Academy.

Since last year, when he started getting calls late at night, Mr. Zhang just placed a phone next to his bed.

Yes, a telephone, a landline one.

But a year passed and the phone never rang again.

There was no way. In the entire academy, apart from Chen Jin, there was no one who could fight. Let alone good things, it was good enough that the house didn’t collapse.

Zhang Huijun almost forgot when he was so excited in the middle of the night?!

Before going to bed last night, I specifically told my wife that she might call me in the second half of the night.

If he doesn't wake up, I'll have to kick him off the bed to wake him up.

Jingle Bell!
The phone rang on time as expected. Not only did Zhang Huijun's wife startle, but even Zhang Huijun, who usually slept very soundly, suddenly opened his eyes like a secret agent.

"Ha ha!"

He laughed there first.

His wife is very understanding.

It is a foregone conclusion that "Life Events" will win the award. Tian Zhuangzhuang told him about it two days ago.

He just doesn't know what specific award he won.

Snapped!
Zhang Huijun stood up and picked up the microphone.

The value of this machine has finally been realized, otherwise it would just be left there as a decoration.

"Dean, come out!"

"Best Actor! Chen Jin won, Best Actor!"

Assistant Yu Jianhong was speaking excitedly, and Zhang Huijun's expression immediately widened: "Really? Best Actor? How many people won it?!"

There is still a difference in the number of people.

If two people share it equally, the value of the egg might be lower. After all, a double yolk egg doesn't sound so nice.

"On a!"

"Chen Jin won it, and also the Jury Award..."

Zhang Huijun could not hear the following sentence clearly.

He felt his blood boiling. Zhang Huijun had expected that "Life Events" would win an award because the organizer invited them to attend the closing ceremony, which was a sign of the award.

But he was still a little nervous about the specific awards, especially the Best Actor.

Because this award is not that easy to get.

Last year we were just one vote short.

The competition will only get more intense this year.

Choose one from more than 20 movies, and the West has always given it to white people first; although this time enough public relations has been done.

But while we are making efforts here, other crews are not doing the same?

This is not realistic either.

So Zhang Huijun just had a glimmer of hope.

This was just one vote away from last year's best newcomer award.

It’s not that Chen Jin has no acting skills.

He has watched "The Founding of a Party" several times, and he was also present at the screening of "Life Events".

Even if Chen Jin won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival, he felt it was only natural.

But now, when the results really came out, Zhang Huijun still lost consciousness for a moment.

Really got it!
This kid... is still lucky.

Sometimes winning an award doesn't just depend on your strength, it also requires the right time, place, people and luck.

"Okay!"

“It’s really good, hahaha!”

A student from the Department of Performance, won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival.

What else do you have to say now?

Xia Yu got it before entering school, and Gong Li got it after graduation.

In comparison, this is not even a little bit worse.

And to be honest, although Chen Jin didn't attend classes much and her performance may not be the credit of the Academy of Performing Arts, the Beijing Film Academy played a big role in her winning the Venice Film Festival award.

In the meantime, there was also the help of Tian Zhuangzhuang, the director of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, a photographer who graduated from Beijing Film Academy... the post-production staff of Qingying Studio, and so on.

It can be said that "Life Events" bears countless more marks of Beijing Film Academy than "The Hawthorn Tree".

Even if this movie is described as a masterpiece produced by Qingying Studio, it is completely feasible.

At a series of important nodes such as shooting, post-production, film screenings, and awards, Beijing Film Academy did everything it could to help Chen Jin, Tian Zhuangzhuang and others.

This is a mark that no one can erase.

Lao Ma and others are graduates of Beijing Film Academy.

That's why Zhang Huijun seems to be so concerned this time.

And the result fulfilled Zhang Huijun's wish.

"Dean, Chen Jin specifically thanked the school in his acceptance speech!"

"is it?"

Yu Jianhong obviously knew what Zhang Huijun wanted to hear. After she said this, Zhang Huijun was obviously even happier: "What did he say?"

Zhang Huijun felt that Chen Jin's feelings for Beijing Film Academy were beyond doubt.

This is exactly why he has a special liking for Chen Jin.

This student is different from many students at Beijing Film Academy. He is very pragmatic and knows how to be grateful.

During the art exam, he might have had the same eccentricity as his peers, but maybe it was because of the role he took on in "The Founding of a Party", the whole person seemed to have undergone a transformation from the inside out. For Chen Jin of this age, this change might make him uncomfortable.

Maybe he deliberately pretended to be this kind of person.

But it is a very good image for the outside world, his fans, relevant leaders and units.

This is what Zhang Huijun is most satisfied with.

"Dean, I sent the video of my acceptance speech to your phone!"

"It's a very brilliant speech. He thanked everyone!"

“Even the country was involved!”

Wow, this height?!

Zhang Huijun laughed a little.

After people in this circle have been exposed to more Western art, they will spontaneously create a filter for foreign countries.

Zhang Huijun obviously never thought that he could thank the country for making its position clear on such an occasion.

"I'll come and check it out later!"

"When the time comes to arrange the symposium I told you about, I'll call you personally if you have any!"

"There are also airport pick-ups and media, you have to arrange them!"

This has become Nortel's practice.

Whenever a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy wins an award at a Category A film festival, there will be a meeting of this kind.

It's a bit like a very powerful Red Flower thug appears in the gang, and the headquarters introduces him to the heads of various incense halls.

"Recently, a young man has emerged from the main hall of the Beijing Film Academy. Everyone should come and meet him. He has just done a great deed for the gang leader and has become famous in the underworld. All the prominent brothers from various halls must attend and hold a grand welcome ceremony for him!"

"By the way, spread the word in the underworld. This little brother may become the top gangster in the future!"

Such a sense of déjà vu.

Chen Jin shows off on the Internet, while Beijing Film Academy shows off by calling back all the outstanding graduates to get together and show everyone the style of the current students and the strength of the current teachers.

"Okay, Dean!"

“‘Life Events’ even won a Grand Jury Prize!”

Yu Jianhong repeated it again. He also heard from Zhang Huijun's words that his dean should only know that Chen Jin won the Best Actor award.

I didn’t know Director Tian also won a big prize.

"Ah? There's also a Grand Jury Prize?"

"Haha, sure, sure. What did I say after watching the movie? Even if I don't win an acting award, it's still worth a trophy!"

Zhang Huijun actually said this.

At the screening, everyone felt that the film was very well made and might be the best one Tian Zhuangzhuang had ever made in his life; the key point was that it was his first work after a long period of silence as a teacher, which made it even more topical.

Even if it weren't for "Departures", Zhang Huijun felt he could have won the Golden Lion.

Pity.

Otherwise, with the Golden Lion and the Best Actor award, not only would Chen Jin be remembered in the world, but Lao Tian's status would also be raised.

The Beijing Film Academy's directing department is more famous, combining practice with theory. After Mr. Xie Jing, the Beijing Film Academy's directing department has another director who is both capable and capable of teaching. This is still very hopeful for the Beijing Film Academy to impact the top three film schools in the world.

Even in the underworld, Lao Tian has a place as a great director.

But now, it’s okay.

After Zhang Huijun hung up the phone with his assistant, he was still excited.

can not fall asleep.

He walked into the living room and drank a glass of water before opening the acceptance speech from Chen Jin that Yu Jianhong had sent him.

Listening to this boy's speech, which he didn't know whether it was carefully prepared or improvised, Zhang Huijun's eyes became a little moist.

He could imagine the genuine emotions that surged in his heart when Chen Jin received the Best Actor trophy in a foreign country like Venice.

“Acting is not about dreaming, but about the pickaxe that chisels away at the rock formations of reality!”

"I am grateful to my alma mater, the Beijing Film Academy, for teaching me the true meaning of acting. Real acting is not about showing off skills, but about letting the audience feel the warmth of life in light and shadow!"

These two sentences made Zhang Huijun burst into tears.

aweason.

When will students from the acting department be able to reach the level of Chen Jin? !
Why not work hard to hone the four basics instead of just pursuing fame or roles? !
"I am honored to continue the legend of Xia Yu who captured the lion at the age of 17 - Chinese-language films are not short-lived flowers, but sunflowers all over the mountains. They will eventually twist towards the light and bloom like flowers!"

“Just like my homeland!”

"This boy!"

Zhang Huijun laughed heartily and sat there watching the video over and over again. He no longer knew whether it was early morning... or daytime.

***
And on the other side at this time.

The backstage of the Venice Cinema Palace is very noisy.

Chen Jin is currently being interviewed by leading media from all over the world.

"Hello, Chen. First of all, congratulations on winning the Best Actor Award at Venice Film Festival. At the age of 19, you have become the second youngest actor in the history of Venice Film Festival. How do you handle this pressure?"

"Life Events is a funeral film. What do you think impressed the judges?"

"After becoming the youngest actor in Venice, Xia Yu did not embark on an international path, but now China and the United States are working closely together. Have you considered participating in cross-border co-production projects in the future?"

"..."

Several foreign media were in the mixed interview area, asking Chen Jin questions one by one.

It was from them that Chen Jin actually learned that he was actually the second youngest winner of the Venice Best Actor Award.

Xia Yu was 17 years old when he won the Best Actor award.

In fact, the second one is hard to remember, but the media likes this tone.

Especially foreigners.

What about the second youngest, the third youngest, etc.... the others are obviously meaningless.

"Like I said when I won the award, this award actually belongs to the entire team. I just happened to stand on everyone's shoulders!"

"I think it's mainly because of the universality of the film. The issue of life and death transcends the cultural boundaries of various countries..."

"I have this idea about cross-border cooperation, but the Chinese market is huge. I think I will consider internationalization only after a certain period of time. I mainly want to export Chinese culture to the world!"

"..."

After finally answering questions from these foreigners, Chen Jin had to accept interviews from domestic reporters.

This interview is more cautious than the ones with Hollywood and AFP just now, because it is aimed at domestic netizens; mainly, there are less than 4 days before "Life Events" is released in China, so these pieces of news are very critical.

The pre-sales of "Life Events" were not very ideal in the past two days, and the total box office just broke 1000 million.

This is probably due to the influence of Chen Jin and the nomination for Venice Film Festival, which led to such a box office pre-sale result.

If it weren't for the momentum in Venice, the final box office would have been around 100 million yuan.

But now, it's hard to say.

The increase in pre-sales and the spread of word-of-mouth will lead to a qualitative change in the box office.

It is a small butterfly effect that can lead to many uncontrollable consequences.

Just like the future "Nezha 2", in fact, if it was placed in any other period, or the summer period, 60-70 billion would have been the limit; but with the traffic of the Spring Festival and the contrast with other bad movies, it was completely out of control after a few days.

And this situation is getting crazier day by day.

Users who watched the movie at the beginning just thought it was a good movie, and then word of mouth spread, causing its box office to set new records every day.

After reaching 40 or 50 billion in just a few days, the movie created a certain effect.

That's why this movie skipped the gap of 60 billion, 70 billion, etc. and reached billion.

After reaching 10 billion, the box office became even more outrageous as major media, national, overseas and social platforms continued to spread the news.

Many people went to the cinema for the first time just for such box office results.

This is the herd effect.

Now, "Life Events" cannot reach this level.

But the live broadcast of the four major portals just now, the most watched Venice International Film Festival in history, has caused many people to rush into the cinema to see how Chen Jin's performance is.

Does he deserve the title of Best Actor?
People are curious.

Especially Chen Jin is quite famous.

On the contrary, the Jury Prize may not have as much box office appeal as the Best Actor award given to Chen Jin.

Because of his fame.

As long as the film has a good reputation, the box office will have a gratifying result.

"Whoo~~~"

After being interviewed by several major portals, Chen Jin also held a brief official press conference with the crew of "Life Events".

Only then did I have time to go back to the hotel and rest.

As for the subsequent exclusive interviews, in-depth conversations, etc., we will have to wait until tomorrow.

It might be two days before he returns home.

"sleep!"

Chen Jin looked at the night view of Venice at 1 a.m. and couldn't help but fall on the bed.

Just when he was about to cover his head and fall asleep, he suddenly realized something.

Weibo!

If you win an award, you can at least post a status on Weibo and increase the popularity of "Life Events".

Just do it.

Chen Jin posted both the award-winning photo taken by the reporter backstage and the selfie of herself sleeping with the trophy on her personal Weibo.

With text——[Good night, wish you all a good dream~~]

It's really pretentious.

Many celebrities and athletes will say this after receiving an award.

But we have to admit that the effect of such propaganda is very direct and crude.

The photo of Messi sleeping with the World Cup trophy in his arms after winning the World Cup will be the one with the most likes and traffic in the world in the future.

"See if anyone has replied?"

Originally Chen Jin was very sleepy.

But for a person who has finished showing off, it is hard to resist the urge to watch it immediately.

Just like someone has to smoke that cigarette before dying.

Taking a look, it was less than a minute, it was 1 a.m., and it was 8 a.m. in China, which was the rush hour for getting to and from get off work.

So there were hundreds of replies in an instant.

Many people stayed up late to watch the live broadcast of the Venice Film Festival, and checked Weibo early every morning to see the news.

Nowadays, many young people have the habit of checking Weibo every day.

This social networking platform currently has the highest traffic on the entire Internet, including Twitter abroad, and Facebook is a little behind; and in China, there is only Sina Weibo!
"I'm already at work, Mr. Movie King!"

"Are you excited? Tell us how you feel about winning the Best Actor award!"

"I came to work after staying up late to watch it, and I have no energy at all..."

"..."

The comments are very casual, and they are not congratulations or the all-purpose "giegie is awesome". There are many normal people on Weibo at the moment.

After Chen Jin drew a few replies, he fell into a deep sleep.

Obviously, it was only at this time that the news of Chen Jin's winning the award really began to ferment on the Chinese Internet.

Late night news usually breaks during the day.

Especially since Chen Jin won the Venice Film Festival Best Actor Award, an honor that came after many years, the discussion online was obviously even higher.

Xia Yu was not popular before, but now there are too many channels to get the news.

Many newspapers published this news overnight.

Also connected to this is the upcoming film "Life Events"!

The popularity of "A Simple Life" and "Crowded People" is not that discussed; because compared to Chen Jin, these two dramas... are indeed too "low-key"!
