Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 364 Pulling nm's vote
Canvassing for votes? Canvassing for what votes?

Pull your mother’s vote, Tao Jingying!
Shouldn't this award belong to Chen Nuo?

Still need to canvass for votes?
Chen Nuo didn't mind the photographer's face. Anyway, it's normal to see people face-to-face at award ceremonies both at home and abroad.

But when Tao Jingying said this and asked him to stand up and canvass for votes, Chen Nuo felt a little confused. It felt like he heard that a Thai film crew wanted him to audition.

Thailand?

Do you really think I'm some fool?
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the Hundred Flowers Award. No matter what, it is still a film award, right?

This is not some kind of Super Girls or Super Girls or Sisters and Brothers Riding the Wind and Waves, right?
Whether he wins an award depends only on his movies, right?
What does it have to do with what he says or does?
At the Berlin Film Festival, he was drunk and fell asleep on his chair throughout the whole festival. He was just short of taking off all his clothes and lying down.

In the end, the Berlin Film Festival jury didn't say anything, right? They still let Renée Zellweger give the award to him, right?

Taking a step back,
If China's Hundred Flowers Awards really introduced the American vote canvassing mechanism and really needed public relations lobbying like the Oscars, there is absolutely no reason for them to put it on the table and openly "canvass" in front of the camera!
Isn’t this fucking embarrassing?

If he doesn’t canvass for votes, he won’t win the award, but that’s okay.

Originally, Chen Nuo was not a god. Art was a matter of opinion. If he really didn't catch the eyes of the 101 judges and didn't win the award, the people of the country would just shrug their shoulders and let it go.

However, if he really wanted to lick the butts of those 101 judges at this time and say something like "vote for me, vote for me, my buddy, vote for me quickly."

The nature has completely changed.

It can even be said that no matter whether he wins the award or not, it is definitely a shameful act. If he wins, people will say you have some shady dealings, otherwise why would they give you the right to canvass for votes? If he doesn't win, that's even worse, you'll lose your wife and your soldiers, and you'll be in trouble both inside and outside.

Is this intentional or unintentional?
Is this trap the result of Tao Jingying, the future TD member, having ulterior motives?

Or was he instructed by someone?

When Chen Nuo becomes suspicious, his mind always works extra fast.

His actor's observation skills also came in handy at this time. He noticed from the corner of his eye that teacher Zhang Guoli on his right raised his head and kept his eyes on Tao Jingying.

Tao Jingying's eyes also flashed past Zhang Guoli.

If it were someone else, they might just ignore it. The host is supposed to keep his eyes and ears open.

But who is Chen Nuo?

He is a person who is afraid of being stabbed in the back by those delicate girls when meeting his fans.

He is definitely a world-class master of paranoia.

This fleeting interaction immediately set off alarm bells in his heart.

So, he made a prompt decision, immediately showed an embarrassed smile, waved his hand at Tao Jingying, and did not answer Tao Jingying's microphone. He said to her directly: "No need, Sister Taozi."

Tao Jingying put the microphone back to her lips and said with a smile: "Oh, it seems that Chen Nuo is very shy. Haha, everyone here, let's give him a round of applause to encourage him."

After the host said this, everyone of course gave him face and applauded together.

Amid the thunderous applause, Chen Nuo knew that he had no choice but to get up.

Looking at the smile on Tao Jingying's face, feeling the other party's good intentions in forcing him, he also smiled.

If he was really a 24-year-old young man who only knew how to act and had no experience, he would probably be at a loss.

But now, as a 42-year-old greasy uncle, he is so greasy that even he hates it. Now that he has discovered something wrong, it means that he has ten thousand ways to avoid this pit.

Just say it.

He stood up, took the microphone, and said with a calm smile: "In this case, I will help Mr. Donnie Yen, Mr. Zhang Guoli, Mr. Hou Yong, Mr. Chen Kun, and Mr. Tang Guoqiang to canvass for votes. These teachers are my predecessors and the ones I learn from. I hope that all the judges on the scene can vote for them. Thank you."

After saying this, he bowed solemnly.

Tao Jingying obviously didn't expect him to say that. She was stunned and couldn't finish her lines.

But there was no need for her to speak, because the audience suddenly burst into extremely warm applause.

It can be said that it is much louder than the previous two hosts who chatted awkwardly for a long time.

The reason is simple,
If Chen Nuo said this in the United States or Europe, it might seem that he lacks confidence and is hypocritical.

But in China.

When he speaks it and hears it in the ears of the Chinese people, it sounds extremely pleasant, 100% politically correct and lovable.

Just look at the people he named.

Whether this flattery is good or not depends on who is doing it.

When the director of the Hundred Flowers Awards flashed close-ups of the people he named on the big screen at the scene.

More or less, these people all had smiles on their faces.

Even the most respected and dignified teacher Tang Guoqiang had a slightly raised mouth corner and a hint of pride in his demeanor.

Not only that, many audience members were also talking and whispering to each other.

Including the big names who are on the scene.

Zhang Pingmin, deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television and chairman of this year's Hundred Flowers Golden Rooster Film Festival, who was sitting in the front row, smiled and said to Kang Jianmin, vice chairman of the Film Association and director of this year's Hundred Flowers Awards Organizing Committee, "He is good at speaking, smart, and has emotional intelligence. The last time I went to see Mr. Sun, he said that this kid is smart and speaks well, and he likes him very much."

Kang Jianmin also smiled and said: "I have seen his interviews at home and abroad several times, and he is indeed good at speaking."

"Mr. Sun's idea is that after he wins the Hundred Flowers Award this time, you should ask the people in your association to find an opportunity to talk to him and ask him to take the initiative to get closer to the organization and the people and become an artist of the people."

"Okay. But..." Kang Jianmin showed an awkward look on his face, "Maybe he may not be willing. When he graduated from Beijing Film Academy, I asked Dean Zhang of their acting school, and he rejected him directly."

"That was the time. People's minds will change. Send a few of your capable men over there. If that doesn't work, you, Old Kang, can do some ideological work yourself. Old Sun means don't force it. Young people always have a lot of worries. We need to reason with him. As long as he is willing, he can choose any regiment, as long as he is willing."

"After all, this is also for his own good, right? Once he joins our People's Art Troupe, he will be eligible for professional title evaluation and have a foothold. He is so young now, and doing such a big thing, doesn't he feel insecure? Then, he won't have to worry, the organization will be his biggest support."

"I see, Director Zhang. Chen Nuo is also very lucky to have you and Mr. Sun think so highly of him. I believe that after he knows the good intentions of the two leaders, he will definitely understand the truth."

"Haha, Mr. Sun is right. It's rare for our literary and artistic circles to have such a person... Actually, Jianmin, you don't know... even higher up..."

When Zhang Pingmin and Kang Jianmin were whispering, Tao Jingying also came back to her senses and said in her Taiwanese accent, "Good fellow, Chen Nuo did a great job in getting votes, don't you think?"

"Haha, okay, let's interview the next person now... Come on, Miss Suki."

Tao Jingying walked away. Before she left, she glanced at Zhang Guoli again and saw that Teacher Zhang's face looked a little gloomy.

She started chatting with Su Qi, but she couldn't help thinking: The money will definitely not be returned. I have tried my best anyway, and there is nothing I can do if the other party doesn't take the bait. Teacher Zhang Guoli is such a big shot, and he has put so much thought into it, so he must have a backup plan.

But that was none of her business.

She just came to the north to make money, and she only did things for money. As for why Teacher Zhang hated Teacher Chen so much, she would rather spend so much money to do things. As long as she could get money, it was none of her business.

"I asked you to canvass for votes but you refused, and you were even more humble." The camera moved away, and Donnie Yen smiled and said, "Why are you unwilling? Did you know that you will definitely win the Best Actor award this time?"

Chen Nuo smiled and said frankly: "Yes, I heard that. How come you also heard it in Hong Kong?"

Donnie Yen was stunned for a moment, then the smile on his face became more genuine. He pointed his finger at him and nodded, "You, you really know. I heard from the agency that you are the best actor, Zhao Wei is the best actress, Feng Xiaogang is the best director, and The Founding of a Republic is the best film. Is that right?"

Well, it’s an open secret after all.

"How would I know if it's right? Tell the truth, do you believe it?"

"I don't know, but I'm coming anyway, believe it or not."

Chen Nuo smiled, "You don't have to come."

Donnie Yen said unhappily, "Do you want me to die?"

"Haha, not really." At most, the road ahead in the mainland will be a little bumpy. In fact, this has been the reality of the Hundred Flowers Awards for a long time.

Unlike the ideal kind of excitement and tension of not knowing the outcome until the last minute, generally speaking, before participating in the Hundred Flowers and Golden Rooster Awards, most candidates have a good idea of ​​whether they will win. Many people, like Donnie Yen, come even though they know they will not win, just to save face for the organizer.

The 30th Hundred Flowers Awards is no exception.

As early as a month ago, a "hot list" for the 2010 Hundred Flowers Awards appeared from nowhere and circulated on the Internet.

When many people didn't know whether it was true or not, Chen Nuo knew that the list was real.

Because he is a shareholder of Sina.

He had initially taken great pains to acquire shares in Sina, and now, as Sina Weibo's dominance has gradually taken shape, he has begun to reap some benefits.

When the staff of Zhalang told him that the higher-ups had asked him to ban the list, there was no need to further discuss whether the list was true or not.

So he told Liu Yifei to go to Japan to film and not to worry about anything else.

Not only that,

A week before the award ceremony, more authoritative and official news came directly from Zhang Yimou, asking him to attend the award ceremony.

With these two approaches, Chen Nuo really felt that the situation was stable and never thought that there would be any recurrence of the matter.

Damn, is there really anyone so bold in China?
After recalling Tao Jingying's strange behavior just now, he was really unsure.

I looked at Mr. Zhang Guoli's blue scalp reflecting the light.
He finally made up his mind.

He immediately took out his cell phone, typed a text message and sent it to Qi Yuntian.

……

……

Zhang Guoli managed to get 50 tickets in total. It's not that he couldn't get more, but there was no need to do so.

There are 101 tickets, and getting 50 of them is enough to decide the winner.

Don’t say that the other 51 votes were all cast for Chen Nuo.

Zhang Guoli knew that this was definitely impossible.

It is impossible for an organization to do things so roughly and unreasonable.

On the stage, Christy Chung and Daniel Xu have appeared and started to announce the nominees for the first award of the night - the Best Newcomer Award.

A deep male voice sounded from the big screen:

"Xu Jian, the actor who played Zhang Xiangtian in the movie "The Great Wall"."

"Li Yuchun, the actress who played Fang Hong in the movie "The Besieged City in October"

"Gong Xinliang, the actor who played the secretary in the movie If You Are the One."

"Bater, the actor who played Wang Mingming in the movie "The Siege of the City in October"."

"Liu Fengchao played the young seventh uncle in the movie Confucius."

As the shortlist was announced, highlights of the five were played on the big screen.

After the clip was played, five names appeared on the big screen: Xu Jian, Chunchun, Gong Xinliang, Bater, and Liu Fengchao, with a small wave above each name.

This wave is a concrete voting counter.

After the voting begins, this small wave will surge upward according to the increase in the number of votes, and the person who gets the most votes in the end will have the longest wave.

The voting has not started yet, but Zhang Guoli knows that Xu Jian from "Earth-shaking" will beat four people and win the Best Newcomer Award.

Zhang Guoli felt that he estimated that 95% of the people in the audience knew the truth about this matter.

So isn't this?
Li Yuchun and Bater, who do not make a living in the film industry, were not present at all.

The two hosts on stage also knew about this. But even though they knew that everyone knew about it, they still pretended not to know that everyone knew about it, and they worked hard to stir up the atmosphere on stage.

After Christy Chung and Michael Tsui introduced the nominated actors and left the stage,
Tu Jingwei smiled and shouted, "Come on, 101 public judges, the decision is now in your hands! Let's count down together!"

“3, 2, 1.”

“Voting begins!”

The waves on the screen surged instantly.

Tao Jingying said emotionally: "It's so exciting, the votes will be announced soon! Who will win the Best Newcomer Award at the 30th Hundred Flowers Awards?"

At first, the votes of the five people on the big screen were tied at the same level, 12, 10, 10, 8, and 8, which was quite a stalemate.

But as soon as Tao Jingying finished speaking, Xu Jian's support surged, with the number of votes jumping from 12 to 32.

The votes of the others slowed down significantly. Except for Battelle who was still slowly increasing by one or two votes, the votes of the other three were almost stagnant.

Tu Jingwei exclaimed: "Wow! Xu Jian's votes are so high! And Bater is not bad either... Li Yuchun, will Li Yuchun and the others catch up?"

These words were obviously just polite talk, but Zhang Guoli knew that it was impossible.

As expected, when Xu Jian's votes climbed to 48 votes, Bater ranked second with 20 votes, Li Yuchun ranked third with 13 votes, Gong Xinliang and Liu Fengchao ranked fourth and fifth with 10 votes each, totaling exactly 101 votes.

As a result, Xu Jian from a certain art troupe won the Best Newcomer Award with an overwhelming advantage of 28 votes over the second place.

The literary and artistic worker was extremely excited and hugged his comrades around him one by one. The scene was very lively.

While smiling and clapping, Zhang Guoli thought to himself that if Zhang Mo had not been kicked out of the "Let the Bullets Fly" crew, he would have definitely won a Best Newcomer or Best Supporting Actor award at the Golden Rooster Awards next year or the Hundred Flowers Awards the year after.

But now...

Over the past year, relying on his reputation, Zhang Mo could only play minor roles in a few small and medium-sized productions and couldn't even get a decent role.

The reason is simple - many crews would rather offend him than anger "someone".

He saw that Zhang Mo was becoming more and more decadent, hanging out with bad friends all day long. Seeing that his future was hopeless, he became more and more anxious, and naturally his resentment grew.

Zhang Guoli has been active in the film industry for decades. When has he ever suffered such a setback?

How dare a junior who has only been in the industry for a few years act so wildly over him?

Since when did his reputation become even less respected than that of a young boy in the circle?
How could he swallow this?

Because of this, he made up his mind to teach this arrogant boy a lesson at this Hundred Flowers Awards.

Everyone says that he is the winner of the Hundred Flowers Award this time?
Well, let's take this opportunity to let the people in the circle see clearly that the world is so big, it does not revolve around him alone, and the ability to change the situation is not unique to him.

Zhang Guoli decided to let everyone know that he was not old yet and he had no control over foreign affairs, but in this part of the country, it was not yet the turn of the younger generation to show off their power.

The boy didn't fall into Tao Jingying's trap, so it wasn't a big deal. It was just a little trick to add icing on the cake.

Zhang Guoli tilted his head and pretended to glance away unintentionally.

As long as this person leaves empty-handed, that's enough -

At that time, those people in the circle will naturally reconsider who is the king.

The next chapter will be posted at 12 o'clock.
