During Chen's time in the capital, his days were fulfilling.

The area of the capital is three times that of the magic capital, and Guan Chen runs around the city during the day, and he is only familiar with a few places, which is far less than the tip of the iceberg. As far as the eye can see, it is a new person and a new thing.

The ancient charm of the capital is profound, and various museums and memorials are common, and even the century-old shops on the street have their own detailed records of the rise history.

For example, there is the "Guo Shoujing Memorial Hall" next to the Beijing Film Academy, this person is a scientist of the Yuan Dynasty, good at astronomy and water conservancy. Guan Chen was impatient with history when he was in school, and he was dizzy and depressed when he saw classical Chinese, but now he has been an actor for a year, and he has read history textbooks for primary school students and Chinese textbooks for middle school students, so he and Holly stumbled and stumbled to guess, and after knocking a memorial hall, Guan Chen felt that his cultural level had broken through from high school to college.

Originally, the position of the follower should have belonged to Xiao Xiong, but Xiao Xiong had to go to the hospital to accompany his sister and supply blood to his sister for a return transfusion, which was not suitable for running outside.

Before hiring Xiao Xiong as a follower, Guan Chen didn't expect that she would be like a slander in history, once he had a slight outrageous move, he immediately admonished, often making Guan Chen at a loss, obviously on the football field, when the defender is about to be broken by the opponent, as long as he does not maliciously hurt people, he can make tactical fouls, but Xiao Xiong accused him of being too bullying, "They are just elementary school students, you are about to knock them away!" Guan Chen retorted that this was a reasonable collision: "The arena is the battlefield, and if you don't do your best, you are sorry for yourself and others." Facing a group of crying children, Guan Chen said that he would beat them if they were not quiet, and Xiao Xiong glared at Guan Chen angrily, "No! Guan Chen had to change his way and took out the money to buy them, and Xiao Xiong hammered Guan Chen twice, "It's not right!" Guan Chen was speechless, this can't do that, what do you want him to do. In the end, it was the little bear who hooked Guan Chen's neck, obediently apologized to the children and said sorry, and gave each of them a bottle of milk, and the children left after the rain. "As long as you apologize sincerely, you can resolve the conflict." Guan Chen felt that his dirty thoughts were polluted by the truth, kindness and beauty of the bear, and he was very uncomfortable, and his neck was like a chain.

Later, Xiaoxiong went to the hospital to accompany his sister and vacated the position of his follower. The third senior brother Liu Lihao happened to go to Beijing and wanted to compete for a post.

If Xiao Xiong is a minister, then Liu Lihao is a traitor, and Xiao Xiong is completely two extremes. He never raised objections, skillfully used all kinds of life proverbs and Internet chicken soup, and agreed with all of Guan Chen's decisions. For example, when filming the anti-marriage short film "Mango", Guan Chen felt that it was right for the two clients to break up, and Liu Lihao quickly agreed: "All relationships that make people feel uncomfortable are bad relationships and should be separated." ”

Guan Chen went on to say that maybe after filming this film, the two customers recalled the original throbbing, and the old love might be rekindled.

Liu Lihao nodded: "There must be a reason why I fell in love with someone at that time, and separating and getting back together is tantamount to losing and regaining, which will definitely make them cherish this relationship more." ”

Guan Chen said again, but if the problem is not solved, even if they get together again, they will break up next time because of the same thing.

Liu Lihao was deeply touched: "So as the old saying goes, it is difficult to round when the mirror is broken, and the paper that is crumpled into a ball, no matter how much you press it after unfolding, it can't be smoothed." ”

Guan Chen said, but not necessarily, you may have to try to know.

Liu Lihao: "Yes, good things are grinding, and people also need to run in." ”

Say he's an echo worm, but it's not like it, say that he has thoughts, and he said a bunch of things but didn't say anything.

In Liu Lihao's eyes, all of Guan Chen's decisions are far-sighted, and all his words are reasonable. Liu Lihao obviously learned reading comprehension very well, and he was always able to make a reasonable and well-founded shot.

At first, Guan Chen thought that Liu Lihao was desperately showing his value and desperately integrating, with the intention of staying in the studio to find a job; After arriving in the capital, Guan Chen gave Liu Lihao an order to shoot an advertisement, and Liu Lihao immediately complied. This is a request that is contrary to the studio, but Liu Lihao complied. Guan Chen immediately understood that the other party did not want to stay in the studio, but wanted to stay by his side. Guan Chen didn't like people from unknown sources approaching, and his intuition felt that the other party had another purpose, so he guarded against him and believed in his intuition.

In the end, Holly, who was accepted by Guan Chen as a "partner", worked part-time as a follower, and always followed him, and the two went out to play together, watched movies together, and ate and lived together.

After seven or eight days like this, the senior brother suddenly called and asked Guan Chen to return to the magic capital.

"I still have work to do." Guan Chen was depressed.

He had originally arranged to meet a few people in the studio tomorrow, and was ready to come to the new company.

Xie Jinzhu didn't care about this, but only reminded: "Tomorrow the Golden Bull Award will announce the nominations!" ”

The day of the announcement of the nominations for the Golden Bull Awards is approaching, Xie Jinzhu has already booked a restaurant, ready to call some people, turn on the TV at night, wait for the list to be announced while eating, the nominations will be announced on the spot, and the celebration will be celebrated on the spot.

Xie Jinzhu was afraid that Guan Chen would not reply, saying that this was the studio's first milestone achievement, and all employees would be in, when the studio first opened last year, it happened to be the evening dinner of the Taurus nomination, and that time he made a retirement speech, thinking that he would not have a chance with the Taurus again, but he didn't expect that there would be a comeback one day, although he was not nominated by himself, but Guan Chen was nominated, which was the victory of the studio, that is, the victory of his Xie Jinzhu. In short, in Xie Jinzhu's concept, tomorrow night means a lot.

After saying this kind of thing, Guan Chen knew that it was impossible for him to refuse.

After all, on an occasion like the studio's annual meeting, it is necessary to look back on the past and look forward to the future, Guan Chen, as the leader/next successor, cannot be absent, otherwise Qian Liangyi will take advantage of the chaos to buy people's hearts.

So Guan Chen promised to go back, and he went back as soon as possible.

In the evening, Guan Chen began to pack his luggage, which alarmed Holly and his wife, making them think that Guan Chen had committed something and was going to run away overnight.

After finding out that Guan Chen was not running away, Holly breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his eyes and said, "Oh yes, the list will be released tomorrow." ”

The Golden Bull Award is a major event in the film industry, it is the performance evaluation of outstanding filmmakers this year, and it is also the vane of the entire industry, and Hawley has always paid attention to it.

"I was going to celebrate you tomorrow." Hawley has some pity.

"Nothing to worry about." Guan Chen didn't take the award very seriously, and he didn't think it was a big deal from beginning to end. He has only been in the world for a year, and he doesn't understand how valuable the Golden Bull Award nomination is; On the other hand, he didn't film to get anyone's affirmation.

Hawley said, "I've got all the cakes ordered. ”

"That's a shame." After Guan Chen regretted it, he asked: "Why are you so sure of the results one by one?" If I hadn't been nominated, wouldn't I have lost face if you were still so festive? ”

Hawley was sure not.

Because the Golden Bull Award has no "judges", "judges", and no "leadership", only voters.

Nearly 10,000 members of various associations in the Chinese film and television industry have the right to vote for the Golden Bull Awards.

In the voting stage of the nomination stage, only the best film is available to all members, and the rest of the individual awards are voted for by professionals. For example, the nomination for Best Director is voted for by hundreds of fellow directors from the Directors Guild, and the Best Cinematography is voted for by hundreds of photographers from the Directories Guild. The acting awards are also voted for by those actors who have experience and works.

It is different from the concept of elite selection of European film festivals, and it is also different from the leadership of American film festivals to divide pork by relationships; The Huaxia Film Awards pay attention to what is expected by the public and is the embodiment of mainstream public opinion.

Being nominated means that the ability has been widely recognized in the industry.

"How many people are in that Actors Guild?" Guan Chen asked.

"There are more than 20,000 cities and provinces in the country, but only the 'Chinese Actors Association' has the right to vote, about one or two thousand."

"These two thousand people haven't necessarily seen my movie, right?" Guan Chen was surprised that "The Story of the Police" could be released before the deadline for award applications, compared with those movies that were released early and started public relations early, there is not much time and a great disadvantage.

Actors are very busy jobs, and Guan Chen doesn't think that those people have time to watch a new movie, and it is a commercial film.

"The reputation is good and the sales are enough to attract those people to see it. And you still have Zhang Jingsheng. "Hawley is an American, and he is very clear about this kind of canvassing operation," Zhang Jingsheng used to be the vice president of the Chinese Actors Association, and he was well-connected and famous. ”

Guan Chen also vaguely remembered that the filmmaker of "Police Story" originally did not plan to compete for the Golden Bull Award - otherwise it would not have been released so late - but Guan Chen's performance surprised everyone, and Zhang Jingsheng, as one of the producers, temporarily made a decision to declare Guan Chen.

Zhang Jingsheng once served as the vice president of the Chinese Actors Association, and he has a good grasp of the industry trend and a wide range of contacts. Zhang Jingsheng not only sent the review version of the disc, but also held a special screening, called people together to watch the movie, and even claimed that Guan Chen was his successor when he appeared in the interview.

Hawley said to Guan Chen: "I've seen it, except for you this year, there are no other particularly vigorous newcomers." There is a small-budget independent movie, in which there is an amateur actor who actually performs well, but it is relatively unpopular, it was released in a few theaters, and it didn't take long for it to go down again, and the public relations fee should not be much, so it is inevitable for you to be nominated, and winning the award is also a high probability event, so you can prepare your acceptance speech in advance. ”

"Acceptance speech...... "Guan Chen doesn't care about nominations, but he can't help those who have really helped him."

He thought about it carefully and realized that there were too many people to thank this year.

He wants to thank Xiao Xiong for leaving him on the stage of the acting class, to thank his predecessor for giving him such a body suitable for performance, and also to thank Old Man Xing for his teaching, Senior Brother for his guidance, and Zhang Jingsheng's support...... He wants to thank everyone who has helped him get to where he is today. It is these people, and the experience with them, that has shaped him little by little.

Guan Chen likes his current self and those lovely people.

But how do you write such a thank-you?

I never thanked anyone in my previous life, and after receiving favors from others, I just silently remembered it in my heart, repaid it in cash, or did one thing for the other party, and cleared it afterwards.

I still keep it in my mind today, and I am used to replacing it with action. But if you want him to write it down, you have to say with great fanfare that he is really a stranger and doesn't know how to do it.
