Dust is like a city

Chapter 148

The Baeksang Film Festival has officially ended. "Snow in the City" became the biggest winner of this film festival with four awards, and "Three Thousand Days" also won two awards, Chen Qianchen's Best Newcomer and Lu Guanglin's Best Newcomer. "Witness No. [-]" only won one Best Supporting Actor award, but the person who won this award is also an old actor, so in comparison, it is Chen Qianchen who has received the most media attention this time.

Although Chen Qianchen did not accept any interviews afterwards, he was mentioned in a lot of news that night, and now his fame is in a certain way no longer required for the company to spend money on a press release, and the media will naturally report it to the point.

The calm attitude and calm posture when accepting the award, plus the behavior of quietly leaving without accepting an interview made the public think that Chen Qianchen is a very low-key and hardworking person, and he received rave reviews online, although he It can be regarded as constant news, but he has always used good works to speak. He himself does not use social networks, and rarely appears in the public eye. He can produce several excellent works within a year. I really have to say that it is true It is very admirable, plus the success of "Three Thousand Days" this time, with box office awards, even the people who hate him have nothing to say.

On the other hand, Yu Yang is quite pitiful. He was already angry enough to miss the newcomer award, but the media and the public like to compare him with Chen Qianchen, because they came out of the same group and embarked on the journey of actors. Lu, is now conquering the big screen at the same pace and speed, so their achievements will inevitably be compared together.

Yu Yang's acting career has actually been relatively smooth, because his handsome appearance and personality that knows how to judge the situation have always been very popular in this circle. Compared with artists of the same age, he is already at the forefront, but he has come again A Chen Qianchen who is more on the rise than him, obviously this person is not as outstanding and excellent as himself, but he has overwhelmed himself in every aspect.

From the initial TV ratings to today's movie box office, the most hated thing is this newcomer award.

Yu Yang has always felt that although the box office of "Witness No. [-]" is not as good as that of "Three Thousand Days", but it follows the flow of the plot, it strives for real acting skills, and the reputation on the Internet is also excellent, so it will not lose to Chen Qianchen and the others Yu Yang was full of confidence and determined to win that kind of popcorn movie, but he didn't expect to lose.

Although he still gave Chen Qianchen his best wishes in the later interviews and said that he was also very happy that the other party won the award, and even praised "Three Thousand Days" against his will, but after returning to the company, he finally tore off the long-standing falsehood. In front of him, he kicked the mahogany coffee table viciously in the manager's office.

"Why? Why is he the winner?!" Yu Yang couldn't bear to ask, he couldn't understand why it was Chen Qianchen who was not someone else. If you think about the popularity of him and yourself when they were still in the same group back then There are thousands of differences, one is in the sky and the other is in the ground, but now they are catching up with themselves with a swift and fierce attitude.

Yu Yang's manager, Andy, also looked very unhappy, but he was still much calmer than Yu Yang, he said: "Does he hold a grudge against your previous actions, so he targets you everywhere? You know, you Now it is almost called box office poison on the Internet."

"What?!" Yu Yang exclaimed, "Witness No. 3000 has a box office of [-] million? Why should I be called a box office poison? Take ten thousand steps back and say that I am just a supporting role, and I am not the one who takes care of the box office."

Andy said: "That's right, but everyone compares you and Chen Qianchen, and his grades are much higher than yours..."

"So my grades are worthless?!" Yu Yang shook his head in disbelief.

Andy shrugged: "This is the public, they will not compare you with other people who are not qualified, they will only compare people with similar grades to you, and now...you have been thrown away by him."

"No!" Yu Yang denied this fact, "My popularity is higher than his, even now it is much higher!"

Andy shook his head slightly: "Popularity is of course very important, but the more you go to this circle, the less it is worth mentioning. The important thing is to gain a firm foothold in the film and fashion circles, otherwise you can get along well. It's just a second line." After speaking, Andy shook his head a little irritably, "A Yang, do you know about Jiang Gao's situation recently?"

"Brother Jiang Gao?" Not understanding why Andy suddenly mentioned Jiang Gao, Yu Yang showed a strange look, "I don't know, I haven't seen him for a long time..."

"The company is very dissatisfied with him recently. He has been in and out of nightclubs too many times. If you have time, please persuade him more." Andy said.

"I can't even worry myself now, how can I persuade him?" Yu Yang also sat on the sofa irritably.

Andy took a look at Yu Yang: "I signed the two of you together. Both of you will be prosperous, and you will be damaged by both. The company is dissatisfied with him. A Yang, your recent results are not particularly satisfactory. If you continue to If this continues, the resources above may not be given to you.”

Andy's words made Yu Yang feel a little panicked. Indeed, after coming to LCO, he was under a lot of pressure. In the past, he was always the most popular artist in Hesheng, and the company also held his own in the later stage. , but a big company like LCO is different. It already has a lot of popular artists, many of whom are even more popular than themselves, and they introduce a lot of newcomers every year. It's really hard not to be forgotten by the upper echelons in such a big company Yes, for this reason he has been working very hard, working hard on filming and accepting various endorsements. Obviously, his grades are not bad, but because he is always compared with Chen Qianchen on the Internet, his grades seem very shabby.

"Chen Qianchen..." Yu Yang said the name bitterly.

Why should all his efforts be denied because of such a person, such a person... It is obvious that they only rely on unspoken rules to get to the top, they are obviously so dirty.

"Don't be depressed, your strength is indeed much stronger than Chen Qianchen, and you have more advantages than him. The only thing you lack... is your backing." Andy gave Yu Yang a meaningful look.

When Yu Yang heard this sentence, he immediately raised his head, showing a puzzled expression.

Andy said: "I heard internal news that Huo's executives had contact with the organizer of the Baeksang Film Festival. I don't know if this news is true or not. I just want to tell you that you didn't lose because of your strength, so... Don't give up so quickly."

Although Andy said that he didn't know the truth, the meaning of this sentence was already obvious. Chen Qianchen's ability to win the award this time was actually due to his background.

Yu Yang realized that the difference between him and Chen Qianchen wasn't actually strength or luck, it was just a person.

So if you want to survive in this entertainment industry, do you still have to rely on these benefactors?

Yu Yang gritted his teeth. This was a hurdle he couldn't get over. He was always a straight man and couldn't allow himself to be entertained by men. In the past, attending various dinners was his limit, but... Chen Qianchen made him realize that It will be difficult to get rewards if you don't give yourself up completely.

Maybe... it's time for him to find a backer...

It would be great if he was also a person like Huo Rongxuan.

If it's someone like Huo Rongxuan... Even if he is forced to follow the unspoken rules, he is willing to do so.

It's a pity that Chen Qianchen took the lead... No, no, it's purely because of his left hand.

That should have been my chance.

Yu Yang gritted his teeth, and an idea popped up in his heart, maybe he should fight for it, after all, if it is really compared, he is no better than Chen Qianchen.He used to think that Huo Rongxuan was a clean freak, so he wouldn't want someone like himself who had attended dinners and drank with the high-level executives, but he knew the past of Chen Qianchen and Jiang Gao, didn't he still support Chen Qianchen?If it looks like this, I might still have a chance...

By the way, Jiang Gao?

Yu Yang suddenly thought of something, Jiang Gao was Chen Qianchen's indelible past... Even if they broke up, many things cannot be erased so easily.

Yu Yang's eyeballs rolled around, and when he raised his head again, the irritability and hostility on his face disappeared, and he returned to the previous spring-like expression, smiling and said to Andy: "Brother is right, I I came in together with Brother Jiang Gao, no matter what, we should advance and retreat together, I will go and see him sometime."

Andy knew that Yu Yang was very smart, so he understood the meaning of his words, and nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, then you can go to work first, and the company's brother will naturally take care of you. It doesn't matter if you fail once. Do the job at hand."

"I see brother." Yu Yang nodded, "Then I'll go first."

"Okay, let's go."

After walking out of Andy's office, Yu Yang's expression became indifferent again, and he glanced back at the door of the office.

He used to think that if he came to a big company, his acting career would be smooth sailing, but he didn't think that it was the same everywhere. Andy was no different from Jiang Zihua back then, but he just told himself to choose "hidden rules" more implicitly than Jiang Zihua. It's just a matter.

They are all the same, treating themselves as objects of trade.

But... Now I have no choice. Since he has become an artist, he must do his best, he must stand in a high position, and he must stand out.

He doesn't care what he sacrifices for this goal.

He will sweep away all those who stand in his way.

Yu Yang looked at the air, and said to the invisible enemy in the air: "Brother Qianchen, don't blame me for not talking about the four-year friendship, or blame you for standing in front of me..."

If Chen Qianchen had just been abandoned by He Sheng and then slowly faded out of the entertainment industry, perhaps Yu Yang could still maintain his original attitude towards him. After spending four years together, he still has a little bit of affection. Maybe many years later, I will think back to my former teammates, and then I will look back and care about his recent situation. Of course, all of this is based on my success.

It's a pity... In the end, he walked on the same road as himself by mistake, and became his enemy, blocking in front of him.

Thinking of this, Yu Yang's eyes became fierce.

"You forced me to this job, so don't blame me for playing tricks." Yu Yang put down these words viciously, and then slowly left this corridor where no one passed by.

On the other hand, Chen Qianchen's "Longsheng" is finally coming to an end, and I don't know if it's because Huo Rongxuan is not in China recently, Huang Danzhuo has become unscrupulous again, making things difficult for the crew from time to time, neither Chen Qianchen nor the director is so easy , but fortunately he didn't come here often, and he didn't do as much as before, so the reluctant crew ended the filming smoothly.

When filming the last scene, Chen Qianchen also felt that he had been a bit deep in the scene recently, and he didn't know whether it was because of himself or the character. Director Zheng also advised him to relax and not get too involved, so as not to be depressed.

But in the last scene of jumping off a building, Chen Qianchen still put himself deeply into the role, that kind of despair with nowhere to go, that kind of compromise with dreams, that kind of deep tiredness with life, let him When he was on the tall building, he didn't even think about it, and he didn't even jump straight down for safety reasons according to the director. Instead, he turned around and opened his arms, as if he was really welcoming the perfect death.

Although the safety measures for this kind of scene are well done, and Wia has repeatedly confirmed it many times, but the shooting location is a real high-rise building after all, it is estimated that a lot of preparation and psychological construction must be done for any actor to shoot, but Chen Qianchen didn't, not even the slightest bit of fear.

Director Zheng Qun was very emotional in his heart, thinking that this young man was really acting with his soul.

A person like him really deserves a better chance. My filming this time was not a good experience because of the investor Huang Danzhuo. What to teach this young man, so... Zheng Qun always felt that he should compensate him with something else.

So Zheng Qun came over to Chen Qianchen at the finale banquet that night, "Qianchen, is the work schedule tight for the future?"

"Huh? Oh, no..." Although it was a wrap-up banquet, Chen Qianchen was too emotionally invested in the character during the filming, so his interest was not particularly high, and these days he was looking for another company. It's also quite annoying, he doesn't really want to consider those big companies, but he didn't find a suitable one for small companies. A few small companies have great doubts about him leaving Xingcheng and signing them instead. Many people directly think that Chen Qianchen had no choice but to leave because of conflicts with Xingcheng's top management. How dare they offend Xingcheng, a small company like them?Who doesn't know that Xingcheng's backstage is hard in the circle?So how could Chen Qianchen have any work plans if he hasn't even decided on his next move?

Zheng Qun said with a smile: "That's pretty good. An old friend of mine is preparing a new movie, but the shooting time hasn't been fixed yet. If you have time then, go try it out."

Chen Qianchen smiled slightly: "Okay."

He didn't even ask whose new play it was. He didn't even read the script, so he agreed directly. Zheng Qun knew that this was because of the young man's trust in him. Zheng Qun didn't know whether "Zongsheng" could achieve Chen Qianchen. , but if it's that person's play, it can definitely make him a success.

Zheng Qun secretly decided in his heart that he must help Chen Qianchen win the leading role.
