When he first submitted his work, Wang Zimu didn't have any expectations, but for some reason, after submitting it, he had a thought in his heart, and as the date of the primary election results got closer and closer, his inner expectations became more and more, and he became more and more troubled by gains and losses.

"It can't be, it can't be me, I'm just participating. ”

"What if I do pass the preliminary audition, maybe the judges really like the style of my work?"

"I think I still have a lot of intention to shoot this documentary, and it seems that I hope to pass the primary, right?"

"Forget it, don't look forward to it, I'm a rookie director, what do I want to do, after all, so many seniors are involved, how can I be qualified to compete. ”

"But what if......"

Every day his thoughts are changing, both looking forward to it, but also afraid that the high expectations will disappoint him, but even if he is afraid, he still can't help but look forward to it, and the result is that the night before the primary election was announced, Wang Zimu lost sleep.

He didn't fall asleep all night, he went out for a walk at three o'clock in the morning, and walked back and forth around the newsstand at the entrance of the community park, because the results of the primary election of the Star Festival would be published in the Yanshan Wenhua Newspaper first-hand.

At half past five in the morning, an old man in a red vest walked slowly to the newsstand, took out the key and was about to open the door, when he saw Wang Zimu squatting at the door of his newsstand.

"Well, young man, scare the old man. The old man at the newsstand touched his chest and reprimanded with palpitations.

How could he not have imagined that there would be someone hiding at the door of his report early in the morning, and it would be silent, if it weren't for this kid's apologetic face, the old people would think that this kid was the kind of immoral teenager on the Internet who deliberately rectified people.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I'm waiting for the newspaper, I want to buy the Yanjing Wenhua newspaper. Wang Zimu explained embarrassedly.

"Then you have to wait, the newspaper delivery will not come until six o'clock, why don't you come and sit for a while?" The old man of the newsstand saw that it was not a problem for Wang Zimu to wait outside alone, so he invited him to come in and sit at the newsstand, after all, there was no business at this time.

Wang Zimu thought about it, and it was really boring to wait by himself, so he took the opportunity to enter the newsstand.

Seeing the old man cleaning up the newsstand there, he had a good eye to grab the rag and help clean up, the old man was reluctant at first, but seeing that Wang Zimu was sincere, and he did a good job, he also asked Wang Zimu to help.

"Young man, you seem to be a clean-loving person, and this is very neat. The old man couldn't help but praise when he saw Wang Zimu busy working there.

This kid is hardworking and willing to work, the key is to do things in an orderly manner, don't look at just cleaning, if the sloppy person is estimated to touch the big picture, some dead corners will not be noticed at all, but Wang Zimu even cleaned up the dead corners very cleanly, which alone made the old man have a good impression of Wang Zimu.

"Uncle, I often work in restaurants and supermarkets, so I am familiar with the work of cleaning up. Wang Zimu responded with a smile, he didn't feel that he had any loss in helping this favor, anyway, he was idle, and he was doing a favor to play time.

The key work can also calm his mind and not be anxious because of waiting.

"Okay, endure more hardships when you are young, and when you succeed in the future, you will also know how to live the hardships of life, which is the precious energy of life. The old man looked like a person who had come over and reasoned with Wang Zimu.

Wang Zimu didn't show any impatience, nodded occasionally while working, praised the old man for saying right, and made the old man laugh, and he was in a very good mood.

"But then again, although young people suffer a little hard, but the job should still be as stable as possible, young man, it's not a problem for you to always do odd jobs, why don't I introduce you to a stable job, old man?" The old man had a good impression of Wang Zimu in his heart, and was even willing to help Wang Zimu find a job without fear of trouble.

"Tell me, what are you good at, I'll help you weigh it, don't look at me as just a newspaper seller, but I'm just a play, my child is promising, he is the boss of a big company, if you really have the ability, I will recommend you to go to my son's company." The old man was still afraid that Wang Zimu would not believe it, so he deliberately emphasized his family.

Wang Zimu didn't doubt whether the old man was bragging, just the glass water cup used by the old man was not simple, Wang Zimu saw it at a boss when he was pulling investment, and when he saw that this water cup looked good, he deliberately wrote it down, and prepared to buy one himself.

But after he searched the price of this water cup on the Internet, he immediately stopped thinking about buying it, a cup for drinking water, no matter how beautiful it is, anyway, in his opinion, it is not worth spending more than 2,000 to buy such a water cup.

And since the old man of this newspaper can afford such a cup, it at least shows that his family background is very good, even if it is not as exaggerated as he said, but at least it is above the level of being well-off, much richer than him.

"Old man, I'm the director. Wang Zimu hesitated for a moment, but still replied.

"Director, what are you playing?" the old man didn't understand.

"It's filming, you watch those TV series, movies, or whatever, it's all made by the director. Wang Zimu patiently explained.

"It turned out to be a TV series, so what have you filmed, you say, maybe I've seen it. ”

The old man's words made Wang Zimu's face red, in addition to smashing the pot and selling iron to make a documentary, how could he have other works, and he couldn't answer the old man's questions at all.

People are old and fine, and the old man can see the embarrassment on Wang Zimu's face, so he knows that this young man is estimated to be very bad in the director's circle.

"Hehe, don't be discouraged, you are in your thirties, it is the time of struggle in life, my son is so old when you are young, his career has just started, I remember that time, he ran out of the vegetable garden outside the city before dawn to buy, and then pulled to the morning market in the morning, in short, it was very hard. ”

"Thank you. Wang Zimu sincerely thanked him, he knew that the old man was sincere to comfort him, but it was also funny that he liked to show off his son.

The prince also understands this, and even envies it, after all, his son has the ability, and he is naturally worthy of being a father to show off, but he doesn't know when he can get ahead, so that his father can be like the old man in front of him, and he can pull himself to show off when he meets people.

"That's right, young man, why are you waiting to buy a newspaper so early in the morning? The old man suddenly asked curiously, after all, few people would wait for the door of the newsstand early in the morning for a newspaper.

Of course, Wang Zimu will not hide it, and he said it to the old man.

"What a list, young man, the old man thinks there must be your name on it. The old man patted Wang Zimu's shoulder and encouraged.

As soon as he finished saying this, before Wang Zimu could react, a man in a postal suit driving a battery car parked the car at the door of the newsstand, and then took out a large stack of newspapers from the cloth bag in the back seat.

"Young man, it's the newspaper of Yanjing Wenhua Daily!" When the old man saw the visitor, he immediately patted Wang Zimu on the back.

When Wang Zimu heard this, he didn't say a word, and hurriedly ran out of the newsstand, and without waiting for the newspaper to deliver the newspaper to the newsstand, he 'intercepted' it into his hands halfway.

The postal worker who delivered the newspaper looked at the old and young people strangely and excitedly, scratched their heads and scolded a few words, and then drove to the next newsstand to deliver the newspaper.

After Wang Zimu returned to the newsstand with the newspaper in his hand, the old and the young immediately took out a newspaper from it and rummaged through the list.

"Is it this, the preliminary list of the Star Glory Festival, the old man, I don't have good eyes, I can't see this small word clearly, you can find it yourself." The old man at the newsstand hurriedly handed the page with the list to Wang Zimu.

Because it is a preliminary list, there are many works and names, so it is naturally impossible to print in large characters, so they are all in the font of the size of 'Xiao Wu', and half of the layout is densely laid out.

Fortunately, the list of candidates is also classified, Wang Zimu first found the preliminary list of documentaries, there are about fifteen or sixteen works, he glanced at it roughly, and soon found a familiar name in the list, and suddenly his heart began to beat faster.

"Old man, old man, I'm in, I'm in the primary list, I'm in the list, hahahahaha, I'm in the !!" Wang Zimu grabbed the old man's arm and shook it excitedly, so happy that he was about to fly.

"Oh, oh, young man, I'll just say you can come in, my old man has always been accurate, but you let go of your hand first, I'm seventy years old, if you shake it again, my old bones will fall apart." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm so happy, old man, you sit. Wang Zimu hurriedly spread his hand and kept apologizing.

The old man at the newsstand was actually not angry at all, but he was also very happy, patted Wang Zimu's shoulder and smiled: "Looking at your boy's serious and careful work, I know that you are a promising, so what kind of TV series selected you by the Star Festival is that they have a vision." ”

"Old man, it's a documentary, not a TV series,......" Wang Zimu reminded for the first time.

"I know, documentary, it's almost the same anyway, don't interject, you kid, listen to me. The old man glared at Wang Zimu, and after the latter apologized again and again, he continued with satisfaction: "Didn't you say that there is another review, old man, I will leave the words, and the documentary that reviews you can also enter, and I am sure that I will win the award." ”

Although Wang Zimu knew that the old man had never seen his film at all, and he didn't even know the review system, this did not prevent Wang Zimu from feeling happy and grateful in his heart.

"Old man, to borrow your auspicious words, if I really win the award in the end, I will definitely invite you to the most luxurious restaurant in Pearl City to invite you to dinner. Wang Zimu said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you good boy. The old man was very happy to be coaxed by the prince.

Wang Zimu looked at his watch at this time, and when he realized that the time was almost up, he proposed to say goodbye, but before parting, he took out another five cents and wanted to buy a copy of Yanjing Wenhua Newspaper as a souvenir.

Because he felt that he was already very lucky to be on the preliminary review list, he never thought about the review at all, after all, after the review, it was the shortlist, and when the time came, he could even walk on the red carpet and gather with so many stars and big-name directors, he really couldn't dream of it that day.

So he wants to buy a newspaper to stay, after all, it is the biggest 'honor' he has won since he became a director, even if he doesn't do this business in the future, at least with this preliminary list, he can still be regarded as something worth remembering.

"What's the money, I'll give it to you, old man. The old man at the newsstand waved his hand and didn't accept Wang Zimu's coin at all.

Wang Zimu didn't insist, said thank you, and then turned around and walked towards a nearby breakfast restaurant, and only after eating enough did he have the strength to work.

But just as he had not taken two steps out, the shouts of the old man at the newsstand suddenly came from behind him.

"Young man, have faith in yourself, I believe you will be able to pass the review, I am waiting for you to invite me to dinner. ”

"I'll treat you to dinner. The prince was stunned, then smiled brightly, waved his hand behind the old man's back, and then ran to the breakfast shop, he was afraid that he would be made to tears by the old man's sensational words if he stayed.

A preliminary list has touched the hearts of countless people in the entertainment industry, although the Star Glory Ceremony is only the first session, but the influence is not small at all, especially the creation of a film academy-like review body, which is a fair and just brand for this award ceremony.

Of course, the credibility and influence of the award ceremony still depend on the long-term operation and cumulative reputation, but many insiders are very optimistic about the development of this award ceremony and feel that it has at least the potential to sprint for the gold award, so many people are very looking forward to whether they can win the award in the first session.

The newspaper sales of Yanjing Wenhua Daily also reached a small climax on the same day, selling nearly 20,000 more copies than usual, all of which were consumed by fans of those stars in the entertainment industry.

But it's a pity that this kind of good time is just this time, when the following review is underway, the official website of the Star Festival will be designed and launched, and the list will naturally be announced on the official website of the Star Festival.

In fact, if it weren't for temporary reasons, Yanjing Wenhua Daily wouldn't even have had the opportunity to release the preliminary review list this time, at that time, Wang Zhonglei found someone to design the official website that incorporated too many elements of Huayi into it, and Nie Wei immediately rejected it after reading it.

In Nie Wei's words, the website that was designed, others clicked into it and knew that it was the official website of the Star Ceremony, and those who didn't know thought it was the official website of Huayi.

Then Nie Wei directly proposed revisions, removing more than 90% of the Huayi elements on the official website, and only retaining the name of Huayi in the sponsor list.

This matter also caused a joke in the circle.

After all, other film companies hold award ceremonies, and they can't wait to directly replace the name of their company with the name of the award ceremony, but Nie Wei is good, and he does the opposite, but he can't avoid things that others can't want, but the more this is the case, the more people in the circle believe that Nie Wei really wants to hold a fair and just film award.

For many, this is definitely the best news.
