Actors, singers, idols, MCs, hosts...
On the stage, stars shine under the spotlight. The media chases them, fans support them, they are like idols high above.
But behind the brilliance,...
Chapter 508 Li Qin: I recommend Teacher Li Yitong.
2021 is an odd year. According to tradition, the Feitian Award and the Golden Eagle Award in the "three major awards" are held every two years. This year, only the Magnolia Award is left. In
addition, at the beginning of this year, there have been "Mountain and Sea Love" and "Awakening Age" that can compete for the "Annual Drama King". Breakthrough masterpieces such as "The Love of Mountains and Seas" and "Awakening Age" have appeared one after another, so many viewers pay close attention to the Magnolia Award.
The discussion of these popular awards, such as Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Actor, etc., is not low, and many people want to see which drama will win the award in the end.
In contrast, the competition for "Best Actress" this year is not fierce.
Among the five nominated actors, Yan Ni just won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress last year with "Youth Pie", completing the grand slam of the three major awards for TV series. It is basically impossible for the organizers to let her win the award for two consecutive years.
Although the three young actors, Li Qin, Li Yitong and Tan Songyun, have each had good roles in the past year, their overall performance can only be considered above average. It's okay to get a nomination, but if you win the award, it will be a bit grumbling.
The most popular candidate online is Reyiza, whose popularity soared some time ago. She played "Shuihua" in "Mountains and Seas", and became a new classic shot in the hearts of the audience with a crying scene.
Although the Magnolia Awards often go against the public's ideas in order to reflect the theme of "industry recognition", the gap between the candidates this year is indeed very large. No matter how independent the jury is, there is no better choice.
Therefore, although the Magnolia Awards will not be held until next month, this year's "Best Actress" crown has been tacitly given to Reyiza by the audience.
The fans of the other nominated actors are naturally aware of the current situation, and they have left messages online, saying that "our Qinqin/Tongtong/Jingjing are very satisfied to be nominated, and dare not expect to win the award."
What's even more surprising is that the fans of Li Qin and Li Yitong actually took the initiative to promote Reyiza, and posted a lot of highlights and slices about her, which seemed to be a trend of climbing the wall.
Of course, the real situation is that the fans did not think about changing a "sister", and the purpose of the two families is very consistent-
it would be best if their sister could win the award. But if the team can't get it, then the next priority is to prevent the other team from getting it.
It's better to not get it than to pull the other team down!
"These fans are purely destructive competition."
In the office of Huguang, Yang Ming looked at the messages from the two fans online and couldn't help complaining.
"It's normal. It's better to lose both than to win alone. Fan circles always think like this." Meng Bai said indifferently.
Yang Ming shook his head and sighed, then looked at him and said tentatively: "In fact, before the award is officially announced, it's not so certain who will win in the end. If you help Yitong during this period, maybe you can compete."
"No, senior brother, don't do it!"
Meng Bai immediately stopped the other party: "If you don't deserve the position, you will suffer. Have you forgotten the previous Golden Eagle Award?"
In the 2018 Golden Eagle Awards, Reba, under the operation of Jiaxing, made a "flooding Golden Eagle" operation, which directly led to a sharp drop in her reputation and popularity.
Before that, although she didn't have many works, she was also a top streamer among the "90 flowers". As a result, a wave of public opinion exploded, instantly hitting her upward momentum. With the rise of a new batch of young actresses in the past two years, her situation has become increasingly difficult.
"Whether it's Li Qin or Li Yitong, their current performances are not up to the standard of winning awards, especially under the premise that there are still hot favorites in this session."
Meng Bai said: "If it's up to me, unless there is a phenomenal role that stands out from the circle, it's better to wait for two or three years, get nominated for the three major awards twice, and then consider winning the award. It's safer."
"That's true." Yang Ming nodded, but then smiled bitterly, "But the problem is that your girl's contract expires this year. I don't want to give her an award so that she will agree to renew the contract." Li
Yitong signed with Arc Light in 2015, and later transferred to Taiyang Chuanhe. Because of Meng Bai's relationship, the contract she was given was relatively good among the newcomers in the domestic entertainment industry, and the term was only seven years. Taiyang Chuanhe
suffered a lot of losses in actresses in the past year. The founding shareholder Yang Tianbao withdrew to set up a personal studio, and Zhou Dongyu did not renew the contract after the contract expired. Wang Ziwen, who replaced her, is still there, but the contract is only two years and will also expire at the end of the year.
As for Zhang Junning, Zhang Jianing, Zhao Xiaotang, Kong Xueer, Hani Kezi, etc., they can't hold up the scene. So now, if we really talk about it, Li Yitong can be regarded as the "pillar" among the company's actresses.
Because of this, Yang Ming hopes to keep her, and the renewal terms are very generous.
But he also knows that a considerable part of the say in whether this girl can stay lies in Meng Bai. So I took advantage of the nomination of the Magnolia Award to come and test the waters.
"It should be no problem to persuade her to stay, but the terms must be more favorable." Meng Bai said, "I won't interfere in this matter, you guys can discuss it yourself... I remember she said before that she wanted to set up her own studio."
"Yeah, that's right, who doesn't want to have the final say in any artist who is doing well these days." Yang Ming sighed, "Okay, then let's talk to her again."
The two were chatting when Hua Yan suddenly knocked on the door and told them that Li Qin was here.
"Meng... Hey, is President Yang here too?"
Li Qin, who was wearing a white top and a short skirt, wanted to call Meng Bai as soon as she entered the door, but found that there was someone else there, and her voice suddenly dropped eight degrees.
"Why don't you guys talk first, I'll come over later."
"No, no, I just finished what I said." Yang Ming stood up and said with a smile, "You guys chat, I won't disturb you."
After watching the other party leave, Li Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and the dignified and cold smile on her face also relaxed.
Turning back to look at Meng Bai, she asked curiously, "Why did Mr. Yang come here today?"
"Oh, he heard that you were nominated for the Magnolia Award, so he came to ask if he could help you with it." Meng Bai said casually.
"That's not necessary. I know my own strength very well, and I'm not worthy of the title of Magnolia Award for the time being. I think that the nominated teacher Li Yitong is very strong, and she happens to be an artist of the company, so why not help her with it."
Li Qin's face was full of sincerity, and she seemed to be very considerate of the other party.
Of course, as Meng Bai said just now, no matter who wins, it will provoke public anger. This girl obviously intends to push her "old rival" into the fire pit.
Meng Bai looked at her sincere expression, and felt a cold wind blowing behind him. He laughed dryly, walked over to hug her and changed the subject, saying, "Why did you want to come to the company today?"
Hearing this, Li Qin's expression immediately became a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he coughed and said, "Well, I saw a novel a while ago and thought it was pretty good, so I bought the film and television rights. Mr. Meng, would you like to take a look? If you are interested, you can invest a little."
