Chapter 938: Late Duel [Three Watches]
Zhou Comin originally wanted to persuade Yang Caini to be more rational on this issue, but when she saw her crying face, her heart couldn't help but move.
In Yang Caini's body, Zhou Comin seems to see her former self.
Lin Xiaoman also tried to stop her from dating Lin Youlun for the same reason, but unfortunately Lin Xiaoman met Lin Youlun, not only did not stop the development of the relationship between the two, but was beaten by Lin Youlun.
And now the same thing happened to Yang Caini, but Jin Chengwu is not Lin Youlun, Zhou Comin knows very well in his heart that if he doesn't intervene, this relationship may be broken up by the companies on both sides like this.
"You have to think about it, if you insist on being with Jin Chengwu, you and his development in the entertainment industry will be greatly affected, the key is whether it is worth it for you to pay so much in this relationship."
Yang Caini's lips pursed, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded vigorously.
"Okay, I'll find a way to help you with this matter, of course, before that, you should be careful when you meet him, don't be photographed by reporters again!" When Zhou Comin said this, he sighed softly in his heart.
Yang Caini is still young after all, so she is stupidly willing to sacrifice her future to be with the person she likes, if she experiences a few more years in the entertainment industry, I am afraid she will not make such a firm choice.
I didn't think about it in my heart, but since I had promised Yang Caini, Zhou Comin naturally wouldn't break her promise, and then she could help talk on the side of Huaxing Records, but Jin Chengwu was a little powerless.
In order to solve this problem, Zhou Comin had to ask Lin Youlun for help.
After listening to Zhou Comin's narration. Lin Youlun, who was on the other side of the table, pouted.
"You're so kind. In the future, it will be forgotten if they can stick together. If they break up later, who will remember you? β
Because of drinking a little wine, Zhou Comin's cheeks were slightly red, and his beautiful eyes kept flashing with a sparkling look.
"Actually, I don't want to be a good person, but when I saw Yang Caini's appearance, I suddenly remembered me when I first debuted, and helping her was actually encouraging myself not to regret my decision back then. Be sure to stick with it. β
Hearing Zhou Comin's words, even Lin Youlun couldn't help but be moved.
"You say that, I can't help if I don't help."
In front of Zhou Comin, Lin Youlun called Ge Hongfu on the spot, which roughly means that he thinks that the combination of Jin Chengwu and Yang Caini has a lot of box office appeal in the youth love film market, and will shoot more movies of this type around the two of them in the future, making them a classic couple on the screen.
From beginning to end, Lin Youlun did not mention the relationship between Kim Sung-woo and Yang Caini in reality, and all he said was about making movies. However, he believed that with Ge Hongfu's cleverness, he should be able to hear the hints in his words.
Ge Hongfu did not disappoint Lin Youlun either. After putting down the phone, she began to ponder this matter in her heart.
It's really because Lin Youlun's call came too coincidentally, Ge Hongfu had already contacted the media to ask Jin Chengwu to publicly clarify his relationship with Yang Caini, but now this method no longer works.
Lin Youlun has already spoken to make Jin Chengwu and Yang Caini a screen couple, and at this time, if Jin Chengwu issues another notice denying his relationship with Yang Caini, it will be tantamount to slapping Lin Youlun in the face.
The relationship was exposed, which just made Jin Chengwu lose some popularity, but offended Lin Youlun, then Jin Chengwu's acting career in Hong Kong is equivalent to the death sentence sentenced.
Of course, Ge Hongfu can tell which is more important, but she can't figure it out in her heart, why Lin Youlun didn't talk about it sooner or later, but when Jin Chengwu and Yang Caini's relationship was about to be exposed, and both brokerage companies were ready to beat Mandarin Ducks, she called this call.
The reason for this is somewhat intriguing.
Of course, no matter what, if Lin Youlun's words on the phone are serious, then this scandal exposure may also be an opportunity for Jin Chengwu, since the media has noticed the love affair between Jin Chengwu and Yang Caini, then it is better to plan it and make a fuzzy treatment of this matter, neither admit nor clarify, just drag the media and let them guess, anyway, no matter how the media reports, it is increasing the exposure of the two.
Thinking of this, Ge Hongfu already made a decision in his heart.
Lin Youlun said something on the phone, Zhou Comin, who was sitting opposite him, naturally heard it word for word, as soon as Lin Youlun put down the phone, Zhou Comin couldn't help but ask curiously: "What you said on the phone is true?" β
Lin Youlun said that the napkin was re-laid on his knees, and replied casually: "You made it up randomly, do you take it seriously?" β
Zhou Comin's eyes widened, and he said after a while, "Isn't this good?" β
""Old Master 1994" sold so well at the box office, I didn't need to do anything at all, naturally other film companies would ask the two of them to film, I just told Ge Hongfu about this situation in advance, this can't be considered a lie to her, right?"
In Lin Youlun's impression, Jin Chengwu and Yang Caini have acted in a lot of movies together, and both of them are lovers in the film, so these words are reasonable.
Zhou Yimin was also frightened by Lin Youlun's words, did he really think too much?
Lin Youlun didn't talk to her about this topic anymore, but talked about the Academy Awards, which will start in early March.
"Is the shortlist out?"
"yes, the shortlist will be officially announced in the next week's edition of Cinema Fortnightly, and I've already got a copy here."
"Am I shortlisted?"
Seeing that Zhou Yimin was so anxious, Lin Youlun decided to tease her first.
"Guess what?"
Zhou Yanmin pursed his lips and glared at Lin Youlun, "I hate it, hurry up!" β
""New Love" was nominated for 10 awards, including Best Actress, of course.
Zhou Yimin opened a pair of big sparkling eyes: "Really! β
Lin Youlun nodded.
Zhou Yimin was so excited that he hugged his hands together, and his joy was beyond words.
At this time, Lin Youlun suddenly changed his words: "What I told you just now is just good news, and then I have bad news to tell." β
"It's not like my competitors are all strong this time, right?" Zhou Yimin guessed cautiously.
This time it was Lin Youlun's turn to be surprised.
"You guessed it?"
"Alright. Don't be poor. Hurry up and tell me who else is shortlisted! Zhou Comemin gave an "order".
Lin Youlun hugged his hand. "Then I'll test you first...... There are a total of five films nominated for Best Actress this time, but only four actors have been nominated, do you know what the reason is? β
"One of the finalists with two films?" Zhou Yimin immediately guessed the answer.
"Correct!" Lin Youlun nodded, then put away his joking expression, and said seriously: "This time your biggest competitor should be Xiao Fangfang, this time she was shortlisted for the two movies "Money Robbery Couple" and "Fang Shiyu", and it can also be said that she is the hottest candidate for the Best Actress Award at this Academy Awards. β
Zhou Comemin immediately asked, "So who are the other two?" β
One is Ye Yuqing, and the movie that made her nominated is "Moonlight on the Rooftop". As for the other ......" Lin Youlun hesitated slightly, and then said a name that surprised Zhou Yimin.
"How could it be her?"
Zhou Yimin's heart suddenly had some mixed feelings, because the last finalist for the Best Actress Award was none other than Wang Guxian, who played Bai Suzhen in Xu Ke's movie "Green Snake".
3 years ago, "Untouchable Lovers" starring Zhou Comemin unfortunately failed to be nominated for the Best Actress Award, and it was at that Academy Awards that Wang Guxian successfully won the Academy Awards with "My Sassy Girlfriend".
is also a film invested by Lin Youlun, and he didn't even enter the shortlist, but Wang Jixian made it to the top of the film. Such a gap makes Zhou Comin still mind, and this time he met Wang Guxian again. Because of the failure of the last time, Zhou Comemin suddenly became a loser.
Lin Youlun saw Zhou Yimin's worry, reached over, patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, if you can't get this award this time, it will be difficult for her to get this award." β
"For what?" Zhou Comin's mind was fluctuating at the moment, and he had lost the calmness that he should have in his normal time.
Lin Youlun was asked, she couldn't tell Zhou Comin directly, she would definitely win the award this time, right? Not to mention that Lin Youlun is not sure of this, even if he is sure that this is the result, he will not tell Zhou Yimin in advance, so there will be a lot less expectations and surprises.
"Because "New Love" is more liked by the judges than "Green Snake", the distribution of nominations for this award can be seen, several heavyweight awards "New Love" have been shortlisted, and "Green Snake" was only shortlisted for the Best Actor Award, Best Actress Award and Best Soundtrack, and according to the general convention of the Academy Awards, at least one award for the actor and actress will be born from the films shortlisted for Best Director or Best Picture, there are few exceptions, "Green Snake" was not shortlisted for these two awards, That's why I said you have the best chance of winning this award. β
Although Lin Youlun said this, Zhou Yimin was still a little apprehensive in his heart.
"But just now you said that Liu Qingyun was also shortlisted for Best Actor, and he was shortlisted for two films together, he is more likely to win the award than me, and the Academy Awards can't award Best Actor and Best Actress to "New Love", right?"
Zhou Comin's doubts made Lin Youlun a little embarrassed, because there has indeed never been a situation in the history of the Academy Awards where a film has won the actor and actress, and one of the important reasons for this is that in order to balance the interests of all parties, the Academy Awards has always adhered to the principle of "sharing the cake" in the selection of awards, and will not let a certain film be chartered for the entire awards ceremony.
There are pros and cons to this approach, the advantage is that it can maximize the enthusiasm of filmmakers to participate while ensuring the fairness of the awards, otherwise the awards will always be included in a movie, and over time everyone will feel bored, and even those filmmakers who feel that they are just shortlisted to accompany the runner are not even interested in participating in the awards ceremony, and the attention of the awards is getting lower and lower, and the live broadcast transfer fee and advertising sponsorship are getting less and less, until it becomes a chicken-like existence after the most lucrative time.
Although most of the film awards in the world have vigorously denied the practice of "sharing the cake" on the surface, they have actually been doing it in secret, which has almost become an unspoken rule of the industry.
And the most typical negative example is the Academy Awards ceremony in a certain year in the future, Wang Jiawei relied on a plot of "The Grandmaster" to turn the entire Academy Awards ceremony into a commendation meeting for him, and the audience was disappointed or disappointed.
This is not to say that the judges of the Academy Awards particularly like Wang Jiawei, the main reason is that Hong Kong films have declined to the point that they can't even pick out a faΓ§ade-dressing work, and they can only use Wang Jiawei's movies as a fig leaf.
Lin Youlun doesn't want this kind of history to be staged in his own hands again, so since he took over the qualification to host the Academy Awards, he has been unswervingly implementing the practice of "sharing the cake", and although the Academy Awards have been controversial over the years, their influence has been expanding.
Of course, the disadvantages of "sharing the cake" are also obvious, that is, it is very unfair to a single film, and the Hong Kong Film Awards in later generations were boycotted by many Hong Kong filmmakers, the reason is that these people think that the Academy Awards are "sharing pork" every year, so they directly announced that they would no longer participate in the Academy Awards, and the most typical representative of this is To Qifeng.
The reason for the "rebellion" of these filmmakers, in addition to the resentment of the Academy Award judges, is more important because the decline of the Hong Kong film environment has led to the loss of the influence of the Academy Awards, and everyone is less and less concerned about this award.
And this situation is not possible at all when Hong Kong films are booming, you don't want to participate, there are so many people who are willing to participate, so Lin Youlun is not worried about this problem.
The only thing that makes Lin Youlun feel embarrassed is the problem that Zhou Comin just mentioned, under the condition that the principle of sharing the cake remains unchanged, the best actor and the best actress are like fish and bear's paws, and it is rare to have both.
In this case, it is normal for Zhou Yimin to worry that she will not win the award, and Lin Youlun doesn't know how to comfort her.
I can't let Lin Youlun tell her that I will press Liu Qingyun to prevent him from coming out of this award, and then create a chance for you to win the award - don't say that Lin Youlun himself can't pass his own level, and Zhou Yimin won't agree to it if he knows it.
Zhou Yimin seems to be weak, but she is actually a very strong person in her heart, she will never accept a result that has been arranged, especially this time with Wang Guxian to face the competition, she hopes to really win this award with her own strength, rather than relying on Lin Youlun's secret care.
