Become Famous Another Day

Things further fermented.

In the entertainment industry, everyone is concerned about the progress and related details of this matter.

Yan Liang is in a whirlpool because he is a nominee for this year's Blue Ribbon Award.

Several people came to ask Yan Liang if he would attend the award ceremony.

The Blue Ribbon Organizing Committee has also been confirming this matter with Yan Liang.

So far, Yan Liang's answer has always been: If everything goes well with the filming of "Friends", he will attend.

It was a normal reply, but in this context, it seemed to have other meanings.

Those at the Blue Ribbon Awards were worried that he might not come in the end and were hesitant.

And those who wanted to stop him from going to the awards ceremony also felt that he was hesitating.

Both sides are trying hard to win over him.

As a very popular and shining star among this year's nominees, Yan Liang is a card that both parties attach great importance to.

At this time, Zhou Pingan came again.

"Yan Liang, this time I am not trying to persuade you not to go to the Blue Ribbon Award Ceremony. I know that you have your own ideas now, and you don't believe that I want to do your best. I just want to tell you that someone from them has If you attend the Blue Ribbon Awards ceremony this year, it won’t be as easy to get nominated in the future.”

Zhou Pingan took a deep breath.

"Let me make it clear to you first, lest you have doubts in your heart. I have no interest transactions with those people, and I have not accepted any favors to agree to persuade you." Zhou Pingan said firmly, "I must tell you Clearly, I am purely from the perspective of an agent, thinking about your career. If you go to the Blue Ribbon Award, it will not bring you anything. On the contrary, someone will blacklist you because of it, but you don’t go. With the Blue Ribbon Award, you can not only win the favor of those people, but you can also get real benefits, such as being nominated for the next Golden Tripod Award.”

"Brother Ping'an, I'm curious, are the awards for those actors in our entertainment industry who have excellent acting skills and have been famous for a long time, all of their awards?" Yan Liang also said, "I'm not trying to argue with you, I really want to You know what’s going on in our industry.”

Zhou Ping'an: "Most of them are definitely based on hard work, but you want to say that they won the award without any operation? It's basically impossible. The agency will do public relations, the agent will do public relations, and the crew and platform will also do public relations. You You should ask me, among those actors in our entertainment industry who have excellent acting skills and have been famous for a long time, how many of them have never worked on their own awards and honors? The answer is, pick one out of a hundred. "

Yan Liang: "I originally wanted to say that at least everyone's bottom line is different, but I also thought, in fact, I don't know what everyone's bottom line is. However, what they did exceeded my bottom line. If they want to threaten me in this way, I don’t dare to attend the Blue Ribbon Award Ceremony. To be honest, Brother Ping An, I don’t care if I don’t win the awards they can influence me.”

Zhou Pingan looked at Yan Liang and sighed.

"You think about it clearly, tell me when you think about it clearly." He said, "Let me tell you frankly, I don't even hope that your career will develop so fast, because I know that the faster your career develops, the more likely you are to develop." The sooner you leave me, the better we can speak openly about this. You will be manipulated and excluded by them, which will make it more and more difficult for you to win awards or even be nominated. I am actually happy to see this happen. , but you have to know that it is not easy for you to get to where you are today. The further you go, the harder it will be. You need this industry to recognize you, support you, and push you from behind.”

"To be honest, look at Lu Yanhe, why can he be so smooth and reach a top-tier position so quickly? Because he occupies a position where the entire industry must push him, recognize him, and lift him up. But let's tell the truth. , you haven't reached the stage of Lu Yanhe yet, of course you have hope. "The Gold Rush" has been broadcast well overseas, and "Friends" is even more so. You have also gained a certain number of fans overseas with these two dramas. In fact, you have a certain number of fans overseas. You should understand that now is the time for you to take the next step forward.”

Yan Liang smiled, "If I relied on their support to get to where I am now, if you tell me that, I really have nothing to say. However, Brother Ping'an, apart from Yan He, I have reached this point today. I have never relied on anyone, nor have I received any role due to any connections or benefits. Now that I have made further progress, I need to rely on others? "

Zhou Pingan was choked by Yan Liang's words and could not recover for a long time.

Yan Liang: "Let them threaten me. If they can, they will prevent me from getting any nominations in the future."

At this moment, half of him was feeling angry, and the other half felt that he really didn't want to win the prize.

On the contrary, for this time's Blue Ribbon Award, even if he basically has no chance of winning the award, so what, his nomination was purely based on everyone's vote, and he attended with confidence.

-

Lu Yanhe reunited with the crew of "The Mist" in Los Angeles.

"I watched "Friends" starring you. It is also being followed in the United States. I have seen articles discussing your show."

Lily Williams told Lu Yanhe as soon as they met.

Lu Yanhe: "Do you like it?"

"Anyway, I watched all the updates in one go, but it's very painful. This drama only updates two episodes a week." Lily Williams said incomprehensively, "It's not the current streaming drama, it's usually one episode. "Sex, release all the episodes?"

"This drama is now broadcast on one of our Chinese TV stations, and it was only shown on Maxine." Lu Yanhe explained.

"That's too little." Lily Williams said seriously, "I have always liked watching this kind of lighter dramas, but many dramas nowadays are too heavy, with complex character relationships, various secrets, Past, reversal...especially sometimes I don’t want to think about anything, I just want to watch something relaxing to relieve stress.”

Lu Yanhe nodded: "I know, this is actually one of the reasons why I like the series "Friends" very much."

"Series?" Lily Williams was a little surprised, "Is this still a series?"

"Don't you know?" Lu Yanhe said, "This is actually the fourth season of "Six People"?"

"Is it the fourth season of "Six"? Is it true or false? I know "Six", but I haven't watched it." Lily Williams said, "I know it is also a drama starring you, but I heard that you are behind After two seasons without acting, the reputation has collapsed, and I don’t want to watch such a bad show.”

"It's true, but since you like "Friends", you can also watch the first season of "Party of Six"." Lu Yanhe said, "The style has not changed at all, it has always been the same."

"good."

The two chatted lively.

Arne Bogut came over and said: "BOX has predicted the box office of our movie."

"How is it?" Lily Williams immediately asked expectantly.

"It is expected that the box office will be between 23 million and 27 million in the first three days of the weekend." Arne Bogut said, "The final box office is expected to be around 70 million."

When Lily Williams heard this, she showed a surprised expression, "It seems that they also have great confidence in our movie."

"Yes." Arne Bogut nodded, "The data of "The Mist" on the Internet has always been very good, and the trailer views have exceeded 50 million."

The total production cost of "The Mist" plus the publicity and distribution costs is only US$21 million. According to BOX's box office forecast, the cost can be recovered and profitable based on the North American box office alone. Add in the movie's overseas box office and home entertainment revenue, and it's clear that the movie will be a success. Moreover, because the film was shot in Canada, according to local policies, the film can also receive a tax rebate worth millions of dollars.

For horror movies, box office is the first criterion.

Lu Yanhe was relieved to hear that the early results of "The Mist" were very good.

This is his first English-language film, and he doesn't want the film to do poorly or even lose money.

"I heard that you are going to be on CBN's morning news show tomorrow morning for an interview?" Lily Williams asked.

Lu Yanhe nodded.

Lily Williams immediately said: "Then you must be prepared. The host of their show seems to be a bit discriminatory against you Asians."

"Huh?" Lu Yanhe was stunned.

"He has not expressed discrimination publicly, but we have heard about it privately." Lily Williams said, "If it is true, he may not be very polite to you tomorrow."

"It's okay." Lu Yanhe shrugged.

Maybe it's really because in the past few years, his response performance on various occasions can be described as particularly good. Lu Yanhe is really not afraid of being made things difficult for himself.

In a sense, why he is so popular with the audience is also due to his ability to show his witty side in various situations.

It is always easy for everyone to like a person who is clever, smart but not annoying.

Some people are smart but annoying, not because they are too smart, but because they are not smart enough. High IQ and smartness are definitely two different concepts.

They shot several sets of posters together, had dinner together, and made some preparations for the premiere tomorrow afternoon. Then they dispersed early and went back to rest.

Especially Lu Yanhe, he will get up early tomorrow morning.

You have to arrive at CBN at 6:30, put on makeup, go through the interview process, and go straight to the live broadcast at 7:45.

This means he has to wake up at half past five tomorrow morning.

Fortunately, now that Lu Yanhe comes to the United States, Wan Qingqing is in charge of all local communication matters, so they can have less to worry about.

Lu Yanhe returned to the hotel. As soon as he arrived in the room, Chen Ziyan suddenly sent a message: Are you back? Have you seen the revelations online?

Lu Yanhe: What kind of revelation? I just got back and haven't had time to look at my phone yet.

Chen Ziyan sent a link, and Lu Yanhe opened it and found that it was a list.

Someone made a list with some names on it, all of which are controversial winners of the three major awards in recent years.

Not only TV series, but also movies.

Among them, the first person to bear the brunt of the Phenom Awards two years ago was Ho Daren, who unexpectedly won the Phenom Award from the favorites Liu Teli and Chen Pinhe, causing huge controversy.

What Lu Yanhe didn't expect was that his name also appeared in the last line. The reason written in the list was: Lu Yanhe won the award. It was not controversial. After all, his acting skills were already recognized as good, but in the same class, compared with him It is strange that Shang Yongzhou, who starred in the same movie, had a more difficult role and better completion, but was defeated by Lu Yanhe.

Chen Ziyan: This list has caused a lot of discussion, and many people in it have been questioned about buying prizes.

Lu Yanhe: I have been included in this list. I feel like it is just the guesswork of the person who wrote this list.

Chen Ziyan: It is indeed a guess. There is no evidence. They only said that they only included people who have received more controversial awards in recent years.

Lu Yanhe: I feel like the public controversy triggered by this incident is getting bigger and bigger, and now even things like this without evidence are starting to make a fuss.

Chen Ziyan: Yes, if this trend continues, who knows if something will really come out.

Lu Yanhe: If evidence comes out that someone really bought the prize, the credibility of other big prizes will be cut in half.

Chen Ziyan: Yes, and the Blue Ribbon will directly become the most credible domestic TV drama award from the three-legged situation.

Lu Yanhe: Sister Ziyan, you are not the one who suspects that this matter is being stirred up behind the scenes, is it the Blue Ribbon Award?

Chen Ziyan: Why is it impossible?

Lu Yanhe: Well, it’s an official award anyway.

Chen Ziyan: Just wait and see. No matter what, the Golden Tripod Award and the Red River Award will not see their credibility so weakened. If this kind of controversy continues, the forces behind them will definitely take action, and the blue ribbon may not be clean. To the point where it can withstand being picked on.

Lu Yanhe: Now I suddenly feel the excitement of "something big happens" that you mentioned. If the organizational power behind the three awards really gets going, then the entertainment industry really can't stay out of it.

Chen Ziyan: Yes, I shouldn't come out with you this time. I should stay in the country. I'm sure that there must be an undercurrent in the industry now, and the fighting has already begun.

Lu Yanhe: Indeed, at least both of them are frantically vying for Yan Liang. One side hopes that Yan Liang will not attend the award ceremony, but the other side hopes to invite Yan Liang and ask him to attend.

Chen Ziyan: Fortunately, when the Phenom Awards invited you to be the presenter, we had already declined. Until now, you are probably very worried. Your inability to attend has really saved you a lot of trouble.

The reason why Lu Yanhe declined at that time was because he was busy at the end of January and early February, filming "Friends", promoting the release of "The Mist", preparing for the Spring Festival Gala, and the world premiere of "Love Letter" at the Jose Film Festival... too many things .

Lu Yanhe smiled.

Chen Ziyan: Go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow. There are several tough battles to fight.

Lu Yanhe hummed and said yes.

He picked up the interview outline and answer template that Wan Qingqing had prepared for him, went through it before going to bed, put on an eye mask and earplugs, and fell asleep. (End of chapter)
