I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 484, Announcing to the World

Beijing, the capital city.

The capital city of China, the headquarters of the Beijing circle, within the Beijing circle

The place where the most powerful people in the country gather.

Whether in business or politics, this is undoubtedly the capital city. The upcoming Golden Eagle Awards will also be held here, witnessing the achievements and recognition that those who reach the pinnacle of the television drama industry can attain.

Witness someone reach their highest point.

This place couldn't be more perfect.

Li Yun had never imagined that he would have the opportunity to stay in this capital city.

There is a place for me here.

It feels like past and present lives are all intertwined.

That down-on-his-luck young man actually managed to find a foothold in the capital.

That's right, establish a foothold.

In my past life, I thought that owning a house here was the ultimate dream for an ordinary person—a place to stand and a place to live.

And this ordinary person's dream seems to be something I could have achieved long ago, something that ordinary people call a dream.

When Li Yun felt satisfied and happy, and these feelings truly existed in his mind, he knew that what he was doing was meaningful.

As my past self, I should be satisfied.

At first, I did have a mindset of being content with a modest life, and I was driven forward by my split personality.

Because I wanted to get rid of them, I moved forward, and that's why I chose to climb up step by step.

Why do I climb up? Is it because of illness, because of my own desires, am I being controlled by my own personality? Or is it because of desires that I can never satisfy?

Looking at the brightly lit city, Li Yun felt a sense of satisfaction to have a place of her own. After filming, she would lie in bed, watch TV, and play on her phone, and that was how a happy day passed.

This is also a kind of happiness.

But upon closer reflection, the final feeling was one of emptiness.

In order to reach the top, one must be able to overcome all obstacles and move forward.

Now he's just one step away from winning the Best Actor award. He might succeed, he might fail, and for someone with such inflated ambitions who wants to build his own circle, failure might mean a vicious cycle.

In fact, I didn't need to go against the Beijing elite circle.

With my current abilities, if I were to join the Beijing film circle, I should be able to obtain a lot of resources, film whatever I want, and gain some relative freedom.

But in the end, he did not choose to give in, but instead went into another circle.

The answer to this question is probably why people like Tony Leung and Eddie Peng in the Hong Kong and Beijing circles made the foolish choice to follow their own path. If you have to say, they had a better choice.

But they didn't; they foolishly chose to follow him.

Perhaps ask them why.

There won't be a standard answer.

But Li Yun knew.

I just can't fucking stop.

It just won't stop on its own.

"I don't need any surprises from the system. I just want to step on their heads and see the most spectacular colors in the world."

Li Yun took a deep breath.

But his thoughts were interrupted by another voice: the girl he had arranged to meet had arrived.

I'm not late, am I?

No.

Exactly.

Dating Liu Qianqian became a very natural thing in Li Yun's life.

There is no complicated or tangled relationship between them; what is certain is that both sides have feelings for each other.

He was separated by a thin veil.

But neither side seems inclined to be the first to break the ice.

They maintained a strange tacit understanding.

Perhaps the girl knew that a man's ambition lies in all corners of the world, and now was not the time to bind a man with romantic feelings.

So she tacitly refrained from breaking the silence.

The two maintained this relationship.

"My Diao Chan has also been nominated!"

Wow, that's amazing!

"Are you sure you're not being sarcastic or sarcastic?!"

"My nomination doesn't seem to have been announced yet." But Li Yun paused and smiled, "However, I know for sure that my name is on the list."

Li Yun wasn't just blindly confident about this.

Both Lü Bu and Zhuge Liang are highly regarded, and in terms of both acting skills and popularity, they are definitely in the top tier.

Nominations should have been made, but I don't know why the list of nominees hasn't been released yet this time.

Even within the production team of the new Three Kingdoms series, nominations for other roles have already been submitted and accepted.

Of course, Li Yun still has no doubt about the professionalism and authority of the Golden Eagle Awards and the Hundred Flowers Awards.

Unlike in his previous life, in this life, without solid strength, he couldn't even get a nomination.

Its prestige truly befits being one of the three major television awards.

Young men with facial paralysis are not allowed to enter.

But at the same time, the competition will become more brutal, even cruel.

"I know, your name is definitely on it, I believe it."

Liu Qianqian also said with a smile, "Because you are my Brother Li."

What does love feel like?

At least this unconditional trust made Li Yun feel very comfortable and satisfied.

Warm and cozy, like clouds covered in cotton wool.

No wonder they say that a gentle paradise is a hero's grave. In this autumn season, Li Yun felt that this was probably the warmest place in the world.

Beside her.

"We absolutely must work hard this year, because things won't be so easy from now on," Liu Qianqian said.

Li Yun raised an eyebrow.

Liu Qianqian took her time.

When I got tired, I took off my sandals and walked barefoot on the ground.

Wearing sandals in autumn.

They look down on the North.

In fact, Liu Qianqian is very smart and understands many things, such as her mother's sad expression at night.

The Golden Eagle Awards have added a category for imported TV dramas.

That is, a complete, top-down opening up, to this group of big sharks.

It should be brought into the public eye completely.

This means that the comfort zone of this land is completely useless, and the mother's goal has finally been achieved: to make art universal and completely eliminate the inferior through survival of the fittest.

Perhaps starting from this year onwards.

The most attention-grabbing and anticipated aspects of the Golden Eagle Awards and Hundred Flowers Awards are not the names of the Best Actor and Best Actress, but rather the Best Foreign Language Film award—and what exactly constitutes that award.

This seems to be a predictable outcome.

Because that's how public opinion has been these past few years. Since the attempt to import it, the shows with the highest viewership and popularity are A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones, Korean dramas, and Japanese dramas, all of which have entered this market.

Just like my mother once said.

His lifespan has come to an end.

The lifespan of this subject matter has come to an end. By "the lifespan of a subject matter," I mean that every subject matter has a lifespan.

The biggest pain point in China is probably that every circle has exhausted all the topics they are good at.

The CCTV circle, the Beijing circle, and even now the Shanghai circle, all are starting to rely on the same old methods of generating traffic, and it's becoming exhausting.

It's a large-scale production with a grand vision, featuring foreign history, science fiction space opera fantasy, Middle-earth fantasy, and a fantasy epic like Lord of the Rings.

Small-scale productions and small-scale scenes, island-themed suspense dramas, historical dramas, and unique workplace dramas are all options.

The fatigue with domestic themes is not just a future worry, but a real current reality. This is largely thanks to the internet age, where it's difficult to truly conceal anyone's thoughts. A technology called big data can dissect a person completely.

The lifespan of these domestic themes has come to an end, and without the ability to discover new themes, they are slowly heading towards death.

"That won't happen."

Just as Liu Qianqian was beginning to have some pessimistic thoughts, a voice interrupted her, seemingly piercing through her pessimistic mood.

It seemed as if they were afraid she wouldn't understand.

Will not.

"This will not happen."

"Because I'm here."

Li Yun stared intently at Liu Qianqian.

I am not only an actor with multiple personalities and a powerful system, but also an art enthusiast who transmigrated here with an excellent script from my previous life.

In my mind.

It possesses a large number of works that can be called art, created by Chinese artists. Who says the West represents progress? Who says the art of a great Eastern power is just dilapidated scraps?

Li Yun felt as if something inside him had been broken.

My works represent Eastern art.

My desires.

Let him overcome all obstacles and tell the world!

"Let me come, let the whole world see my arrival, my script, my work."

Liu Qianqian stared at Li Yun, her eyes completely glazed over.

It seems like crazy talk, yet it contains such strong self-confidence.

If you tell others.

The answer you'll probably get is something like, "You're so ordinary, how can you be so confident?"

But Liu Qianqian was different. No matter what Li Yun said, even if it sounded like crazy ramblings, she had an unparalleled trust in him.

Because the person who said those words was named Li Yun.

Looking at Li Yun's expression, Liu Qianqian became certain of one thing in her heart.

Li Yun is my great hero.

The image of a hero in my heart.

Many words that were held back were not expressed.

But that impulsive feeling persisted.

Liu Qianqian knew that now was not the time to speak these words... not the time to pour out these things.

But the impulse of her body made Liu Qianqian unable to resist moving her lips up to Li Yun's.

But that's not allowed.

Liu Qianqian suppressed her impulse.

"I'm waiting for you."

"Um."

The actors nominated for "New Three Kingdoms" have been receiving notifications one after another.

Whether it was Lu Yi's Zhou Gongjin, Liu Hewei's Liu Xuande, or Cao Mengde, they all received their own nomination notices.

Notification of these nominations.

It tells the story of how they deserved to stand on the stage of that top award for television dramas.

To compete for the Best Actor award, the highest honor in the entertainment industry for television dramas.

As the notices were gradually issued, doubts began to arise in Gao Xinxin's mind.

Something's not right, why can't I find Li Yun's name?

Regardless of the circumstances, Li Yun's name should rightfully appear here.

The portrayals of Zhuge Liang and Lü Bu are both exceptionally excellent.

Its popularity exploded.

It could even be said that these two characters directly elevated the quality of "New Three Kingdoms".

This is absolutely no exaggeration, because these two characters directly boosted the viewership and popularity of the new Three Kingdoms among young people, which is the most important point.

young people.

Li Yun attracted a large number of young people to watch the new Three Kingdoms series. It can be said that he created a huge trend and popularity. The current viewership of the new Three Kingdoms series can be attributed to Li Yun's great contribution.

But to my surprise, I haven't received a nomination for the Golden Eagle Award yet.

It's as if the two popular characters, Zhuge Liang and Lü Bu, have vanished into thin air.

This shouldn't be, and this is wrong.

"The audience's preferences may differ from the judges' preferences. Perhaps you just think Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang are good, but the judges will consider more factors," Yang Xiaoming said dismissively.

The audience is the audience, and the judges are the judges. Can the audience's preferences be the same as the judges' considerations?

"Is the TV series for the judges or for the audience? If the audience likes it, what right do the judges have to criticize it?" Gao Xinxin thinks, "Who do you think you are just because the people like you?"

"If an award is given based on audience preference, then the most nominated works wouldn't be those from our CCTV or Beijing art circles, but rather those young talents from the Shanghai art circle. They are the ones who truly deserve to win all the awards, aren't they?"

Yang Xiaoming's words left Gao Xinxin speechless. As the producer of the new Three Kingdoms, he actually saw many things very clearly.

A principle doesn't become a principle just because you say it.

This world isn't just my opinion; it's just my feeling that the judges haven't nominated Zhuge Liang or Lü Bu. In other words, the judges genuinely believe they might not be worthy of being on this prestigious stage.

Does being liked by the people mean you're above everyone else?

Gao Xinxin was speechless.

After all, there's a saying that's true: the Golden Eagle Awards, one of the three major TV drama awards in China, can maintain its prestigious position and high value because its fairness and professionalism have reached a certain level.

No matter what doubts you have, he can always convince you.

Actually, the Golden Eagle Awards were also discussing something very heated.

Huaxia Art Federation, Hu Nan (government), Radio and Television Bureau, State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.

According to the established rules of the Golden Eagle Awards, the judging panel is selected from three different locations.

The expert panel, comprised of three groups—the various participating organizations, veteran artists in the industry, and seasoned audience critics—selected nominated roles and actors from multiple perspectives.

Right now, the Golden Eagle Awards judging panel is in a huge uproar over one particular issue.

"This is against the rules." At this moment, Hu Zhenyu, the representative of the Huaxia Art Federation, shook his head.

Two roles were nominated for one TV series.

Very normal.

However, a TV series can nominate two roles for one actor.

There has never been such a precedent before.

Never!
