Chapter 189
It is true that Jing Ling and Xu Shaohuai are friends, but not everything can be given for free between friends. Just like this time, the things he hid could not be given to Xu Shaohuai for free. Because the other party took it with the intention of giving it to someone else.
Any towering tree not only looks lush and leafy, but also has a well-developed root system underground. The fact that the Xu family tree can always stand tall is not only due to its own merits, but also to the merits of its branches. Xu Shaohuai asked him to come for this mission. Although he was the only one who worked hard from beginning to end, when it came to the final reward, everyone from the Raoshancheng Public Security Bureau who was responsible for logistics for him to other personnel guarding the outskirts of the forest would be included, but his name would not appear.
This achievement was a gift from the Xu family to their line of people in order to win over their hearts and consolidate their position. Since Xu Shaohuai had gained some benefits, he also had to give Jing Ling corresponding rewards. Friendship lasts only when there is give and take. And this principle applies not only to friendship, but to most things.
However, Jing Ling is not in the political system and is not short of money, so Xu Shaohuai can only repay him in another way.
For example, cash it out to Yunshu.
The incident in Shuangshan Town eventually involved a large number of people, and it has not yet been truly resolved until now, but it will probably be resolved soon. Yunshu's transfer to Hu Quanyi as a secretary was just a temporary measure. Once that matter was settled, he would be transferred away.
Most domestic political systems follow the path of seniority. However, Yunshu is at a disadvantage due to her gender. If she continues down this path, she doesn’t know how long she will have to endure, and the final outcome is also uncertain. Jing Ling couldn't bear to see her move forward step by step like this, so he chose another path for her, a path that relied on achievements to build a high starting point, and then a smooth and broad road all the way.
The information he brought back from the sea hunting ground was enough for Yunshu to reach a high starting point. And this mission is just to add chips to her future.
There were some things he originally didn't want to do too early, but after that trip to Tongcheng, he changed his mind. Now that you have made up your mind, you should make plans early.
After the crew rested for a day, Director Gu received news in the early morning of the next day that the ban was lifted and the crew could return to Changchuling to continue filming.
The speed was so unexpectedly fast that Director Gu suspected there might be a misunderstanding. But although he thought about it, he didn't ask. He thanked his friend and hung up the phone.
Theoretically, the crew could start work, but in reality... after working intensively for such a long time and encountering an unexpected suspension of work, everyone got together to have a drink. Director Gu walked around and found that all the doors were closed and everyone was still sleeping.
Never mind. The filming has been going smoothly anyway, and we don’t need this day. Let’s just continue to rest.
Thinking of this, he decided to go back and catch up on some sleep. I didn’t expect to run into someone when I passed by the second floor.
"Good morning, Director Gu!" Jing Ling greeted him with a smile.
Director Gu was a little surprised, but then he was relieved, "Good morning, Xiaojing!" After a pause, he sighed, "It's good to be young!" He looked so tired last night, but he was fully recovered after a night's sleep.
Being young is good. Jing Ling smiled but said nothing.
After another day of rest, the crew packed up and returned to Changchuling early the next morning to continue the rest of the filming. After that, I stayed in Changchuling as a savage for more than a month. The shots of the two leading roles were basically finished, leaving only the supporting roles, and there were not many. I packed up and left Changchuling to return to the city. After shooting for less than two weeks, the movie "Stockholm Lovers" was completed.
The film started shooting in July when the university was about to have a holiday, and by the time it ended, more than half of the new semester had already passed. The filming lasted more than four months, which doesn’t seem like a long time, but this was under the premise that the filming went very smoothly and the actors followed the crew throughout the whole process, so it can’t be considered fast.
The post-production of art films is much simpler than that of special effects blockbusters. After Director Gu discussed with the staff, he decided to release the film on Valentine's Day next year.
After Jing Ling heard the news, he was quite speechless. Although the movie "Stockholm Lovers" uses love as a story, this so-called love is a complete tragedy. The initial shot gives a thin layer of sugar coating, and the rest is covered with poison, the kind that can kill people without any compensation. Who gave Director Gu the courage to release the film on Valentine’s Day?
Jing Ling was not the only one who thought so. After the release of the release date, many people felt that Director Gu was stirring up trouble. The related news dominated the major entertainment gossip forums for two days until a new hot event emerged, when the heat gradually subsided.
While Jing Ling was filming "Stockholm Lovers", his first starring TV series was also broadcast on Nanzhou Satellite TV in August. However, his popularity was not high at that time, and the other actors in the cast were not well-known either. In addition, "Jiang Shan Fu" was also a popular TV series at the time. Although Nanzhou Satellite TV bought it, it finally scheduled it for the summer weekly drama theater. There was also a 70-episode fairy tale drama before it. Although it had been broadcast for a long time, the rest was delayed for more than a month, resulting in "Jiang Shan Fu" not being broadcast until August.
Ever since the TV series was scheduled, Jing Ling has been mocked over and over again in major entertainment gossip forums. It was a failure the first time he took up the banner. Although the fans felt unhappy, they did not refute it. Although Jing Ling's debut work was also a weekly drama, the domestic online broadcast market is already very mature, while the satellite TV weekly drama theater has only been opened for more than a year. So far, all of them have failed without exception.
There's nothing much the fans can say except lie down and let the ridicule continue.
When "Jiang Shan Fu" was first aired in August, as expected, the ratings were a disaster, with the first two episodes only having less than 0.7 ratings. The haters took the opportunity to mock him again, as if they wanted to get back at the slap in the face they received for "Stockholm Lovers". However, after fans and passers-by stopped paying attention to them, they were unable to make any splash.
While fans are quietly watching TV series and licking their idol, they are also looking forward to the release of the movie to show off their feelings.
Just when the matter was about to be exposed, an accident happened unexpectedly.
Or it would be more appropriate to say that it was a surprise. The ratings for the first episode of "River and Lake" flopped due to a tight schedule and a series of other reasons, but it unexpectedly had a good reputation and the plot was fascinating. Xie Changqing was brought to life by Jing Ling, and the other actors were equally excellent. The whole drama was well-produced, with exquisite costumes, props, makeup, and the actors' words and deeds. Gradually, more and more people started discussing it, and the ratings continued to rise.
In mid-September, the plot just reached a small climax. After it was broadcast, the ratings came out the next day and they actually broke 1!
The TV drama market has not been good in the past two years. Even for dramas broadcast in the prime time of first-tier satellite TV stations, a viewership rating of over 1 is already very good. There are very few dramas like "Jiang Shan Fu" that can work miracles with weekly broadcasts and have a viewership rating of over 1 in the middle of the year instead of decreasing.
It just so happened that the TV series broadcast on Nanzhou Satellite TV's Prime Time Theater during the same period flopped. After waiting for another half a month, the TV station's top management finally decided to move "Jiang Shan Fu" from the weekly drama theater to the Prime Time Theater. After the schedule was changed, the ratings of "Jiang Shan Fu" continued to grow. By the time Jing Ling's film was completed, the ratings had exceeded 2!
It took only three months for a drama to go from being a flop to becoming one of the hottest TV series. "Jiang Shan Fu" is simply the best example of comeback this year!
The feathers that had been holding back for a long time suddenly started to party, each one of them was extremely enthusiastic. The black fans who were looking for trouble became the targets of venting their anger and were sprayed to pieces.
The story doesn’t end there, because in mid-December, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television selected the top ten film and television works of the year, and "Jiang Shan Fu" ranked first!
Anyone who has a certain understanding of the television industry knows that the outstanding works selected by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television in mid-December every year, especially the top three, can be said to be the weather vane of the biennial Golden Osmanthus Awards for TV Dramas. Most of the final winners are produced here, and there are rarely upsets.
Now that "Jiang Shan Fu" has won the first place in outstanding works, it means that the nomination for the Golden Osmanthus Award has been booked in advance, making it a strong contender for the final award!
The Golden Osmanthus Award is one of the two most authoritative awards in the field of TV dramas! And it is clear that Jing Ling has a great chance of winning the Best Actor award!
The work that was originally the least favored made a comeback and finally got off to a good start. Following the TV series, Jing Ling will also have a movie released next year. As long as Director Gu's works maintain their quality and don't go wrong, nominations for the three major awards can be said to be a sure thing, and it is not impossible for him to win the Best Actor award in the end. If all the expectations come true in the end, Jing Ling will win the Best Actor award first and then the Best Actor award... Just think about it, he has been in the industry for three years, and he is only 20 years old. He won two golden statues in the same year, breaking the record for the youngest award winner in history. Even if it's just a guess and hasn't come true yet, it's enough to drive people crazy!
She will definitely go down in the history of the domestic entertainment industry!
Fans, spectators, and haters alike could no longer sit still, and a new round of fighting started on all major entertainment gossip forums, with related posts flooding the forums.
