The Fleeting Years of Chinese Entertainment

The sunlight, like golden threads, cascaded down, draping everything in a warm, luminous veil, creating a scene of cozy beauty.

As time goes by, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival will soon hold a press conference in Kyoto.

Moreover, the press conference only announced one thing: the shortlist for the Hundred Flowers Awards and the shortlist for the Golden Rooster Awards.

Since Xie Xiaojing had already informed Lin Mo in advance, he was prepared.

The films nominated for the Hundred Flowers Awards are all films that are close to people's lives, and the actors are, as always, very familiar to the audience.

In particular, Feng Xiaogang's "Cellphone" mentioned almost all the major awards of the Hundred Flowers Awards.

The Golden Rooster Awards are quite interesting. Feng Xiaogang's "Cell Phone" and Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers" didn't get nominated for many important awards together, which is a bit ridiculous.

And this shows that…

In the eyes of the older men on the Golden Rooster Awards jury, these two commercial films made by Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou are nothing.

If you dare to argue back, they'll just retort: ​​"What do you know about film art?"

In contrast, Lin Mo's film "Parasite" stole the show among the nominees for the Golden Rooster Awards.

I don't know if it's because Lin Mo's movie this time is too much to the tastes of those old men, or if he was really being taken care of by some "elders".

Anyway, now that everyone sees Lin Mo's award nominations, it feels like the Golden Rooster Awards have already treated Lin Mo like their own son.

The film received nominations for eleven major awards, including Best Feature Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Directorial Debut.

It almost surpassed the film with the most Golden Rooster Award nominations in the past... "Sun Yat-sen".

At the 7th Golden Rooster Awards in 1987, the film received 12 nominations, making it the film with the most nominations at the Golden Rooster Awards and holding the record for the most awards won in a single year.

It won a total of 8 awards, including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, and other important awards.

To be honest, when Lin Mo saw that his film had been nominated for so many awards, even though he already had a Palme d'Or to protect himself, he suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Although the Golden Rooster Awards were increasingly ruined by their own people over time, they still retain some authority at this point in time.

"Master... is this what you meant by winning some prestigious awards?"

This is way too heavy... I feel like I can't handle it!

……

At this moment, Lin Mo was watching the Olympics in his dormitory.

After all, Liu Cixin is about to be born this year, and it's also the year that Zhang Yimou has been most unfairly criticized.

Erhu, pipa, drum—they played and danced simultaneously!

Cheongsam, beautiful woman, legs—the more you look, the more beautiful she becomes!

To be honest, Zhang Yimou did showcase a lot of ethnic elements in this program, and foreigners seemed to like it.

But to its own people, it seems a bit old-fashioned and outdated, lacking depth.

……

On the 31st, some new students had already begun to enter the school.

When Lin Mo heard that the military training plan had already been prepared in advance, he silently felt sorry for the younger students.

Lin Mo didn't attend the school's orientation for new students.

However, after welcoming the new students, I still got to experience being a teacher.

During class, Lin Mo didn't say anything too practical; he spent the whole time chatting and bragging with the younger students.

The acting teachers who came specifically to "attend the class" were actually quite pleased with the outcome.

After all, they are the ones who teach the professional stuff. The main purpose of having Lin Mo teach this class is to make these new students at Beijing Film Academy think that joining the Beijing Film Academy family is a very wise thing to do.

Lin Mo, who chatted and joked throughout, had clearly completed the task perfectly.

……

Recently, news criticizing Zhang Yimou has been flying everywhere.

Words like "short skirt and chess robe," "incongruous," and "culturally vulgar" leap off the page.

It's on TV and in the newspapers.

There are texts, and even more photos.

Zhang Yimou, whose fame had just reached its peak, was almost completely criticized.

"Wow, those dozens of long legs..."

"Slurp... Hehe! Zhang Yimou has good taste, why are so many people criticizing him! I think this program is pretty good..."

"The world is going to the dogs; people's hearts are no longer what they used to be!"

……

However, despite the many people openly and secretly smearing Zhang Yimou at this time, they really cannot shake his status in the domestic film industry.

At the same time, news of Zhang Ziyi passionately kissing a certain young man gradually began to circulate.

The most prominent location for their passionate kiss was on the street, without any attempt to hide it from outsiders!

"Heh... Zhang Ziyi, she really doesn't plan to avoid people at all!"

……

China Film Group called to inform Lin Mo about the preparations for the awards ceremony.

"Linzi, buddy, I've been nominated for Best Supporting Actor this time too. How about we head over a couple of days early?"

"I think you just don't want to go to class and want to go out and play as soon as possible."

Since the awards ceremony was held domestically, and she could skip class openly, Zhu Yawen had long wanted to get out of school as soon as possible.

"You've only been back for a few days of classes? Are you already in such a hurry to leave?"

Lin Mo looked at Zhu Yawen, who couldn't wait to leave the school, and sighed silently in his heart.

It's great to have talent... This person hasn't even had a few lessons, yet they can act so well... At least they're better than him.

"I mainly noticed that your film has been nominated for quite a few awards! I had to go there in advance to prepare and make a good impression."

Zhu Yawen was clearly not being sincere, but Lin Mo didn't intend to persuade her any further, since he did indeed want to go out and get some fresh air.

"Alright, I'm going home anyway, I'm missing the cooking my parents make."

"Do your uncle and aunt cook well?"

"What's wrong?"

"Hehe... Linzi, could you please get an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks at your house?"

……

The two of them went separately to ask for leave.

Lin Mo's leave application went very smoothly, and the video had already been edited and submitted for review. Now, apart from attending classes, there really wasn't much else to do at school.

Lin Mo casually mentioned that he suddenly had an inspiration and wanted to go out and explore, and the teacher immediately granted him leave, completely forgetting about the teacher's recent instruction to "study hard".

However, Zhu Yawen encountered some trouble. She was a bit afraid of the teacher, and before she could even tell a few lies, she was exposed for what she really was.

Sure enough... no matter how old a student is, the teacher can always see right through them.
