"Let me be in charge of the publicity for this year's Golden Rooster Awards?"
After Zhou Yiyang finished reading the text message, he still felt very complicated.
On the one hand, he was very happy that he had been recognized by the authorities once again. Moreover, the other party also mentioned that the series of promotional videos he made for the first film festival were very successful.
On the other hand, the pressure is huge. This is not like his first film festival, where he is the one who makes the final decision and is not subject to various restrictions.
This time, things are different. After all, the Golden Rooster Awards are officially endorsed. If you really make a promotional video, like "All the Villains," the review process will probably be much stricter.
"Mr. Zhou, are you still hesitating?" Bai Yangyu stood aside and saw clearly the message Zhou Yiyang received. His expression was also very subtle.
"Not really," Zhou Yiyang laughed. "I can't refuse it. After all, this is a rare opportunity. Besides being responsible for publicity work, I have also officially joined the Golden Rooster Awards jury. From now on, I will vote as a member of the jury every year."
"That's a great opportunity indeed," Bai Yangyu laughed. "But you deserve it, Mr. Zhou. You've made a film festival that wasn't very popular into something really popular, and the level of professionalism is quite high. That's quite impressive."
"As for professionalism, it's mainly because several big directors are willing to come and support me." Zhou Yiyang smiled and patted Bai Yangyu's shoulder: "It's getting late, let's go back. We have to come back tomorrow morning to continue watching the movie!"
After returning to the hotel, Su Yin finally had plenty of free time to read netizens' comments.
As she watched, the smile on her face grew wider and wider.
Tang Yue couldn't help but jokingly say, "Our little Su is about to get cocky! Let me tell you, if I want to find negative reviews, I have to scroll through several pages, and they're all illogical and random. So, your acting skills have received a lot of praise this time."
"Our Xiao Xiao Su truly deserves the title," Wang Xingrui said with a smile. "If it were someone else, they wouldn't be able to pull off this role. From now on, when I read novels about beautiful villains, I can use Xiao Xiao Su as a substitute!"
Su Yin blushed. "It's not that good. I still have a lot of room for improvement."
"To me, you're already flawless." Lin Xuan'er earnestly took Su Yin's hand and patiently asked, "Our TV series and movie will probably start filming soon. You've made so much progress now, I'm afraid you'll fall behind. Why don't you teach me how to act these days?"
"No problem!" Su Yin agreed readily: "Xuan'er, you often teach me how to dance. I will tell you everything I know!"
Tang Yue and Wang Xingrui were infected by this learning atmosphere and gladly joined their mutual help group.
Three days passed in a flash, and the First Film Festival awarded the best film to Zhang Yingyuan's "Yi Yi". Zhou Yiyang's "The Godfather of Magic City" lost by one vote, which is a pity.
Zhou Yiyang himself could accept this result. From a professional point of view, Zhang Yingyuan was indeed better.
The last grand prize of the First Film Festival goes to the Best New Director, which also reflects the original intention of the film festival.
In the end, the award was given to a newcomer who returned from studying abroad and was determined to revitalize the Chinese film industry.
At the end of the film festival, Zhou Yiyang did not forget to advertise his new film:
"Dear First Film Festival audience, see you next year."
"But if you want to see my work again, you won't have to wait too long. On May 22nd, I will be presenting my new film at the Cannes Film Festival, and it won't be long before it's released in theaters, so stay tuned!"
There was one more person among the people Zhou Yiyang brought back this time, and that was the bookstore owner, Wang Yuliang.
Zhou Yiyang and Zhang Yingyuan asked Wang Yuliang to act out a scene, and Zhou Yiyang gave a very high evaluation at the end:
“Real and vivid.”
He completely became the character. But if you look closely, you will find that he actually incorporated too many techniques into it, which is very advanced.
He was signed by Zhou Yi Yang and will serve as an actor coach for Yi Yang Entertainment.
Zhou Yiyang offered a salary five times the industry standard, and the other party readily agreed. Not to mention Zhou Yiyang also promised that he would be considered if a suitable role became available.
Wang Yuliang believes in Zhou Yiyang's character, and he also likes this job.
Due to his appearance, he may not be able to interpret many roles.
But he can definitely pass on the experience he has gained over the past ten years to other actors, which can be considered a roundabout way to save the country.
The first student in Wang Yuliang’s training class was Lin Xuaner.
Of course, she just signed up, and the training had to be postponed.
"Xuan'er," Guan Fei reminded her on the plane, "The day after tomorrow, we're flying to Beijing to participate in the live broadcast of the Youth Gala. You won't forget it, will you?"
Lin Xuan'er shook her head and said seriously, "Forgot? Of course not. I'm just anxious. After watching Xiao Xiaosu's acting, I feel like my own acting is terrible."
"No way," Tang Yue shook her head. "Don't compare yourself to the best! Those other popular stars have much worse acting skills than us, yet their fans are still praising them! Let's take it slow, our acting skills will improve. Xiao Xiaosu is a natural talent, there's no comparison! Just like your dancing skills, Xuan'er, we can't compare to you!"
Su Yin and Wang Xingrui had already fallen asleep with their heads leaning against each other, and she had no idea what they were talking about.
After returning to Shanghai, everyone rested for a night and then flew to Beijing without stopping.
"Baby, where are you?" Ye Kongqing sent a message to Su Yin at the right time.
"Mom, I just got off the plane. Brother Yang booked a hotel for us this time. It's near the performance."
"xx Hotel?" Ye Kongqing casually said a name.
Su Yin's eyes lit up: "Mom, how did you know that? That's amazing!"
"Because I live there too," Ye Kongqing joked, "You really don't care about Mom at all. Didn't you know I'm invited too? Are there any performances?"
Su Yin stuck out her tongue. She had never looked at the program list before. Her face turned red and she felt very embarrassed.
"Mom, you're awesome!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yiyang saw Su Yin's red ears and jokingly asked, "What's wrong? Did an old classmate call you and confess his love to you?"
"Brother Yang," Tang Yue came over cheerfully, "Our little Su Na has been confessing her love to others since she was little. How could she possibly blush?"
"It's my mom," Su Yin quickly clarified, "She's also performing at the Youth Gala this time, and I didn't even know!"
"Ah, I know." Zhou Yiyang suppressed a smile: "It seems that you have really been oblivious to what is happening outside the window recently because of your work."
After returning to the hotel and putting their luggage away, everyone went to the performance venue to prepare for rehearsal.
