Chapter 09: The Power Gang in Vanity Fair

Zhou Yi is so lively here, there are many reporters around, and many celebrities around him are very helpless. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Obviously Zhou Yi is just here to win music awards, and there are no decent TV drama awards at all, why are reporters surrounding him?

If you want to talk about TV series, Zhou Yi has filmed a "Flower Season", which is still a youth campus girl drama, and was not selected for this year's Feitian Award at all.

That kind of TV series belongs to the popular theme category, what kind of campus competition is it, but in fact, the style is very low, even if the star ratings are high, in a place like the Feitian Award, it will not be valued and praised in the circle at all.

The attention paid to the circle is all TV series with major historical themes and realistic themes, and those are the spring and snow in art. Like popular themes, including comedy, martial arts, youth campuses, etc., they are all lower riba people, and they are just leftovers thrown out by the Feitian Award in order to comfort some insiders, who will value it? This is not a courtesy, and the award is not popular.

is like the works of Jin Yong, a martial arts master in his previous life, he has filmed a lot of TV series, but has he won a Feitian Award? Not a single one. Even if you want to win over the people in Hong Kong at that time, it stands to reason that it is normal to give an important award! But an award like the Feitian Award will not be given to him at all.

Even if he can communicate with national leaders and has a high status, the work is like that.

When a leader says he likes his work, he really likes it! That's the political factor.

Take it to Peking University to find an expert professor to tout, at most that's it.

Obama will show his face at the Emmys! Does he like to watch American dramas?

It's all the same.

If Jin Yong didn't have "Ming Pao", what was the difference between him and Ni Kuang? Ni Kuang's works have also made many film and television dramas.

At present, Zhou Yi's "One-Armed Knife" is the screenwriter of Ni Kuang in his previous life.

Zhou Yi plagiarized the works of his previous life, except for "Military Commander Secret Service", he wrote casually in the early stage to make a little money, and he did not copy Jin Yong's martial arts at all. Why didn't you copy him? It doesn't make sense. Write those things to win the Feitian Award? Or can you win the Huabiao Award? Not to mention film and television awards, what's the point of not even winning a literary award? It is inconvenient to make movies with those works, at most they will make TV series, but in reality, there are many better creative dramas, Jin Yong's works are not the top in this world, why should Zhou Yi plagiarize?

You think that if you copy the Condor Heavenly Dragon, you will be able to shock the whole country and become famous, don't dream.

What even Wang Shuo can't look down on, in this world, is at most the status of the Central Plains Wubai!

No matter how good it looks, it's a popular novel.

Writing "Military Commander's Secret Service" can please the military commander, what is the use of writing about the Condor Heavenly Dragon? Who to please? It has no practical significance and is not taken seriously by the authorities. There are also many martial arts masters in this life, and I don't see how high anyone's status is, because there is no historical environment in the previous life. In his previous life, the current situation created heroes, and without the current situation, Jin Yong would have no play. For Zhou Yi, this world is also a hero created by the times, but everyone has different opportunities.

In his previous life, Jin Yong seized the opportunity of martial arts novels at the beginning,

There is also the special status of Hong Kong, but there is no such environment in this world. And Zhou Yi seized the special period of the transition period of action movies, no one in the circle, and then used his good looks to strengthen his actions and became famous in one fell swoop. If there are Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li and others entrenched in the circle in this life, Zhou Yi will not be able to become famous quickly. But there are no such people in this world, Zhou Yi only faces Zhao Yanqin, of course, he will take the throne quickly. Therefore, everything is used carefully, and it depends on the effect.

The digression is over, and let's get down to business.

In short, popular TV series are like this, and they are not a dish of the Feitian Award at all.

However, Zhou Yi was not selected for the award with "Flower Season", he was selected for the theme song "Loyal to the Country" of "Man Jianghong". That's pretty big. In the previous life, this song can be said to be scrapped. Why was it scrapped? Because this song was the theme song of "The Sword of the Third Young Master" in the previous life, can it be taken seriously if it is made into the theme song of a martial arts drama? If you want to win a prize, that's a dream.

Martial arts drama, how do you win awards?

For that money, it can be said that a classic song is scrapped.

But this world is different, this is the theme song of "Man Jianghong", the theme song of a major historical TV series, and it is not comparable to martial arts dramas. This is like "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Kangxi Dynasty", and "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" in the previous life, of course, they are qualified.

Therefore, Zhou Yineng was selected for the Feitian Award with this song, and the status of the song is very different from that of his previous life.

If the other party was not the crew of "Man Jianghong", Zhou Yi would not authorize the other party to use this song at all.

This is the difference between this life and the previous life.

The song will get more attention.

Moreover, now Zhou Yi's popularity is high, what can you do?

This kind of popularity is still topical. For journalists, of course, where there is a topic, they will drill there. This is normal. Even some of the star artists of the "Man Jianghong" crew next to them are very envious and jealous.

But envy to envy, envy to envy, you are helpless.

Popularity is such a thing, although it is virtual, but there is something, there is nothing, drama popularity does not mean that people are popular, and winning awards does not mean that they can be popular.

Watching Zhou Yi and the reporters talk and laugh and deal with it freely, Mr. Bo Mei Fu and Director Yu are really helpless, people have this kind of ability, and there are various topics on their bodies that can be used to hype, you really can't help it. Even if you want to hack him, you have to help him hype, otherwise how can you hack him? Splash him with ink?

Unless they want to be as hyped as Zhou Yi, they can only watch dryly.

But some celebrities want to hype it up like this, and they can't do it.

It's not that you can fry it if you want to, it's also a kind of skill.

In fact, like Mr. Fu and Director Yu, there are also interviews, and the reporters interviewed are bigger names, all CCTV reporters are interviewing producers and directors, after all, CCTV attaches great importance to major historical TV series like "Man Jianghong", and the TV series is still broadcast on CCTV, plus some political factors of behind-the-scenes capital, it will definitely be taken care of in the interview.

CCTV reporters have a big shelf, and they will definitely not come over to interview a young junior like Zhou Yi.

In fact, it is normal for reporters who interview Zhou Yi to be more inclined to entertainment.

At present, Zhou Yi's status in the circle is certainly not up to the extent that CCTV big-name reporters come to interview him in person, and some entertainment media reporters come to interview him, which is a great thing, even if some reporters are specifically here to hack him, but at least he will not be snubbed, so that's it.

After being busy for a long time, Zhou Yi finally coped with the reporters.

It is impossible for reporters to interview only Zhou Yi, but also others.

Next, Zhou Yi continued to accompany Mr. Xu Yingxuan, and could communicate with some of the acting seniors present in other crews.

This is, the seniors are in hand, I have the connections, and Zhou Yi will not let go of this opportunity.

If there is no suitable opportunity, it is indeed not so easy for Xiao Xianrou to hook up with his predecessors, and he needs chance. Even if you go to Harper's Bazaar charity dinner, you won't get to see these seniors in the circle. In their previous lives, did Li Xuejian and Chen Daoming go to a charity dinner? Even if you donate, you won't see them. Like Han Hong, she can also call for donations to sanitation workers on the Internet, and a group of celebrities responded, but will the old-timers do this kind of thing? It makes no sense for you to come up with hundreds of thousands of pull relationships. In this world, you can only meet them at this kind of top-level award ceremony, and you need to be introduced.

Teacher Xu Yingxuan's impression of Zhou Yi is really good, and he is very helpful and instructive.

With the seniors mentioning, Zhou Yi has indeed benefited a lot.

Looking at the red carpet scene, in fact, Zhou Yi has long noticed that the intersection of actors is indeed divided into circles. The level of celebrities definitely does not depend on how popular you are, whether there are reporters interviewing you. Some high-status seniors ignore some entertainment media reporters at all, and only pay attention to CCTV reporters, some big-name reporters and well-known film critics. If an ordinary reporter comes to interview, maybe people won't pay attention to you at all.

Some popular TV drama actors will get together with each other, but they often have no status, if the topic is not high and the popularity is not enough, they will often be snubbed by reporters, even if you have the opportunity to win an award, it is the same. After all, those who can be on the red carpet are nominated for awards, who doesn't have a chance to win an award? How can they all be valued and cared for?

It's both Vanity Fair and a circle of power.

Zhou Yi really saw that on the occasion of the Feitian Award, everyone really looked down on popular TV series.

If you say that you are starring in "Flower Season", you will not be respected, and you will only be ridiculed.

Even if people don't say it on the surface, they will say in their hearts: It's just fresh meat.

But if you say that you created "Serving the Country with Loyalty", everyone will nod and praise.

No matter how well it is created, it is a commendable work, and it seems to be very lofty.

This is a government award, hosted by Radio and Television.

If you think that with a high-rated youth-themed TV series like "Flower Season", you can gain a foothold here and have a little influence, that's a dream. Who cares? It can even be said that a TV series like "Meteor Garden" in the previous life will not even have a nomination here. If those little fresh meat come to participate in such an award, they have no status at all. The award ceremony doesn't care about that bit of popularity, it's completely meaningless.

Ratings and popularity don't mean everything. To say that it is useful, it is indeed useful, but to say that it is false, it is false.

Even if it is a conspiracy drama with the same historical theme, such as "Lang Evil List", which was very prosperous in his previous life, Hu Ge was awarded the Golden Eagle Emperor with this drama, and the civil voting award can indeed be obtained, it seems that he has reached the peak of his life, but did he get the government award Feitian Award for the Emperor? No. Let's see who won the prize. At that time, I shook hands with Li Xuejian's predecessors, which also represented a hope to move closer to the mainstream. The other party is Huabiao, Baihua, Golden Rooster, Feitian, and Golden Eagle are almost full slams, and their status is far from being comparable to that of a popular star of a later generation.

Besides, as the organizers of the awards, the Television Artists Guild and the Television Arts Council, it was definitely something different.

The association is a non-governmental organization, a people's organization, and behind it is the people's congress.

But the committee is official, and the latter must at least be presided over by a deputy director of radio and television.

Even if Hu Ge was born in the previous life, let alone Zhao Liying's lower-class grassroots who has no college background, isn't it normal that she can't win an award? If you are popular, just make money. It's good to let you mix up the Golden Eagle Award, what else do you want?

Feitian Award, that's not what you should get, wait until you become a people's artist!

In this life, Zhou Yi wants to win the Feitian Award, if it is not for the song "Loyal to the Country", which is just right, it is the appetite of the chauvinists of the great Chinese countries, and at the same time conforms to traditional values, if it is not broadcast on the CCTV platform, if there is no key recommendation from the Ministry of Education, if Zhou Yi is not from a professional class, if he has no identity background, he will definitely have no play. This kind of award is not something you can win by trying to do PR.

This time, Zhou Yi followed Mr. Xu Yingxuan and really saw the circle of power in Vanity Fair.

It's the circle of power, not the circle of money.

Whether it is in the past life or in the present life, Huaxia will never be the supremacy of money.

Zhou Yi, even Zhengdong, the former Aurora Pictures, has always been mixed in the money circle before, and has never entered the power circle.

You don't see that in a normal awards ceremony.

Only in major government awards such as the Film Huabiao Award and the TV Drama Feitian Award,

You can see this invisible force.

According to teacher Xu Yingxuan, Zhou Yi did understand some things that he didn't know before.

He only now knows that in fact, there was no so-called "popular theme" award before the Feitian Award, and the original awards were major themes, historical themes and realistic themes, like martial arts TV series and campus TV series, don't be funny, there are no qualifications at all, and there are no nominations.

Also as the highest award, the Huaxia Feitian Award is different from the American Emmy Award.

However, many companies, producers and directors in the industry jointly protested against it, believing that it was too unfair to some practitioners, and even held an industry strike, which forced the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and the Television Art Committee to give in and increase the number of popular theme awards.

It was a very difficult negotiation process, and even the industry paid a great price.

There are several veteran producers and directors who have retired early for this reason and can only teach.

This is the sacrifice, the price.

There is no such thing as bloodless industry negotiations.

But the matter was finally settled.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade. Since then, some martial arts, youth campus, comedy and other TV series can participate in the Feitian Award awards, which belong to the category of "popular theme" awards, but when the awards are awarded, not too much time will be given, and they will not be introduced, which can only be regarded as a warm-up, not the final award. But that's it, and it's a huge win for the industry. This is the only time in the industry.

The action directors want to win a technical award, but they don't have this kind of treatment!

At least popular TV dramas are not taken seriously, but they can really participate and get real awards.

Some people cried bitterly when receiving the award, not for no reason, it was indeed very difficult.

Zhou Yi was also very embarrassed when he heard Teacher Xu Yingsu talk about these things.

It is indeed not easy to mix in the circle, such as facing the abyss and walking on thin ice.

All kinds of discrimination can be seen everywhere, and there is discrimination in China, but it is not racist like in the United States.

He wants to add the technical award of motion design to the award family in the future, and he really has a long way to go.

If you think about it, just in the TV drama circle, it is so difficult to add a popular theme award to the Feitian Awards, and it even requires an industry strike and long-term negotiations to solve it.

Are you qualified to organize another industry strike? Stop dreaming. This is not the kind of small place in Hong Kong, where strikes are strikes.

The six Chinese congresses can't do it either.

A strike may not be useful.

In this world, so many action directors in the circle protested, but they couldn't organize an industry strike at all, they were the lowest after all. There is no place for them in the circle of power. The Huaxia Guoshu Pavilion can't affect here, at most they can affect all kinds of domestic Guoshu competitions. But the national martial arts competition circle and the entertainment industry are two different things, and there is no intersection. The Huaxia Guoshu Museum can't cross the line, otherwise it will inevitably cause a counterattack in the entertainment industry.

Just like so many boxing organizations and various fighting associations in the United States, they have not won any benefits for the behind-the-scenes action directors in the entertainment industry.

Besides, there is a price to be paid for industry strikes, and someone has to pay a price.

Even if Zhou Yi could do it, he wouldn't do it.

Of course, as Teacher Xu Yingxuan said, if Zhou Yi can be on the power list, some things will be easy to do.

This Vanity Fair power list is actually not an official list, the industry has never had such a list, and it has not been recognized, but it is indeed an invisible list, and even this list is jokingly called the "power gang" of the entertainment industry by some people.

If the "red alert" within the film school is the young patriots who are vigilant against Hollywood, and the "protective umbrella" is the messenger of justice to protect the industry and artists, then this "power gang" is undoubtedly an underground iron curtain with unspoken rules within the industry.

Where there is white, there is black, where there is light, there is darkness, everywhere is the same.

Back then, the world actor Lou Degua was "frozen" for ten years in the awards, which was the masterpiece of the Power Gang.

This requires a series of complex operations, not just a word from the boss of Longxiang, only an invisible "gang" in the industry can jointly solve this matter. The first brother in the industry is vulnerable in front of the power gang.

Of course, it's just to ban the awards, and if you want to completely ban the first brother in the industry, that's impossible, then Huanyu will be angry, and you will have to flip the table, after all, Huanyu is the sixth major in China, and it also has a lot of connections.

There are some things that Zhou Yi now understands.

In any industry circle, power is the most important thing.

At the beginning, Zhou Yi accompanied Mr. Xu Yingxuan, just thinking that "carrying the old-timers with him" could better maintain his own image, but now he finds that this old-timer is not simple, and he has a lot of connections and connections in the circle.

Some of the old-timers in the industry who are very high-status are very polite and friendly to her.

Although she has never been at the superstar level, it is impossible to have a salary of tens of millions, and even in front of some small fresh meat in the industry, that popularity is not worth mentioning, but she has won many awards, and she is indeed very rooted in the circle.

Some of the supergiants have to go to bed with someone! Some supergiants will be kicked out when they promote it in schools.

Popularity and status are not simply equated.

Zhou Yi understands that popularity and fame are two different things, popularity is for fans, and fame is within the circle.

Popularity can make you money, fame can give you power, absolutely different.

Some small fresh meat doesn't look at the super high popularity, unlimited scenery, a lot of money, and how much a film is paid, but those are all imaginary, people can give it to you, and they can also make you penniless. Sometimes if you say something wrong or do something wrong, you will be banned, and in serious cases, you will go to jail.

Zhou Yi has seen this kind of thing a lot in his previous life.

A certain actor casually commented on the acting skills of a certain senior, but the result went downhill directly, from the peak of popularity to the disappearance, the speed was outrageously fast. A certain actress became popular with a TV series, and it seems that she has reached the peak of her career, but one thing will knock you into the dust and ban you for several years.

Of course, smart people eat a trench and grow wise, and from now on, if they try to get close to that circle, they will naturally be fine.

If you want to fight, it's no fun at all.

Some little fresh meat is smart, and when they participate in TV shows, they must be cautious, and they would rather be wronged than offend a certain out-of-fashion star, this is the reason. Unless you have a strong background, you can only be cautious and walk on thin ice.

In fact, Zhou Yi didn't know what the origin of this teacher Xu Yingxuan was, he hadn't thought about it before, he hadn't seen it before, and he hadn't even heard the teachers talk about it, but there has always been a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the circle, which is normal. She doesn't seem to be from a professional class such as Yanying Chinese Opera, but listening to her talk to some seniors, it is likely that she was born in the military art troupe, and her father-in-law seems to be an executive vice chairman of the TV Art Committee, the organizer of the Feitian Award, with a lot of power, and now he is about **ten years old, and he is still alive! As for her husband, I don't know who it is.

This is Zhou Yi's guess based on the conversation, and it is not easy to ask in detail.

If the star leading actors of the crew of "Man Jianghong" knew that Teacher Xu Yingxuan still had this kind of energy in the circle, they would have offered her up a long time ago, and they would definitely accompany her throughout the whole process, and they would not have left Zhou Yi with this kind of opportunity to please at all. However, there is no regret about taking medicine for this kind of thing, it all depends on your realization.

Usual behavior habits and moral character determine on-site performance.

Habit becomes nature!

Regardless of whether Zhou Yi pretended to be or not, his usual behavior and habits doomed him to be such a person, and of course he would get benefits.

During this time, Zhou Yi followed Mr. Xu Yingxuan and met some seniors in the industry.

Some of the predecessors are not very famous, and they are definitely not comparable to the current little fresh meat, and it is impossible to be responsible for any traffic, but these people are the ones who have the right to speak and the right to award. People are responsible for awards and connections.

If Zhou Yi is not an academic, not a regular undergraduate student of Yanying, not a member of the Red Police Club, and has no background, if he is just a grassroots rising class, even if Teacher Xu Yingxuan likes him again, he will not take him like this and help him introduce contacts. With the skin of the film academy and the skin of the Red Police Society, sometimes it is indeed easy to get in touch with or enter some high-end circles.

At least some seniors will not be disgusted with him, and they can still talk to him, especially with Teacher Xu Yingxuan, there is no problem.

Because many seniors are also from Yanying Academy.

Otherwise, if you want to talk to someone in their fifties or sixties, they will ignore you!

The age gap is so big that you can't speak at all.

What's the use of just chatting with some little fresh meat? Usually gang up on Weibo, you call me, I call you?

It can even be said that if Zhou Yi came with the crew of "Flower Season", instead of the crew of "Man Jianghong", without Mr. Xu Yingxuan, he would not have been able to blend into this circle at all. His background doesn't make it easy for him to do everything.

Even if you have a military commander "godfather", everyone will not easily offend you at most. I can't mess with you, I'm avoiding you, can't I? But not taking care of you in everything, that's definitely two different things.

That's what it means. If you are treated like this, of course, it is not good.

Besides, as long as you don't commit treason and don't change your nationality, the military command really can't control the entertainment industry.

Reality is not fiction, and no one can cover the sky with one hand.

Just like in the previous life, some artists also have super-large backgrounds and children of wealthy families, but they don't see how well they mix in the circle and how famous they are. Don't say you don't care about playing tickets, since you want to do this business, who really doesn't care? But the official background can't be used casually, and it won't be easy to do anything. can't mix it up, for the sake of his own face, he can only say that he can play tickets! What else?

Of course Zhou Yi didn't want to do that, finding a way to integrate into this core power circle was the right way.

Thinking about it, Zhou Yi also has an idea in his heart, it seems that if he can really win the award later, he must make some adjustments in his acceptance speech.

The original acceptance speech cannot be copied.

It's not that the acceptance speech written by Zhengdong's publicity department is not good, but Zhengdong has never participated in the Feitian Award ceremony, and the publicity department does not understand the specific situation of the Feitian Award, so naturally it can't be so realistic in the acceptance speech.

If you copy the acceptance speech of the Golden Dragon Award to the Huabiao Award, of course not, it is the same reason.

Zhuo Qinglian used to be in the military intelligence circle, not in the entertainment industry, it was simply unrelated, so she had no problem dealing with intelligence organizations in various countries, but in terms of entertainment industry awards, she couldn't give more guidance to the company's propaganda.

Zhou Yi could only rely on himself to come to the scene to modify and adjust.

As long as you understand the actual situation, doing this kind of thing is a piece of cake.

With Zhou Yi's super high IQ and EQ, there is no problem at all.
