Chapter 664 Train to Busan This year's Film Festival will be held in Busan, South Korea.
"The Forest Without Flowers" achieved remarkable success, receiving nominations for Best Director, Best Film, and Best Actress. However, Chinese-language films as a whole did not perform well at the Film Awards this year. Apart from "The Forest Without Flowers," only "Snow Sugarcane Field" from Hong Kong Island was nominated for Best Editing, and "Happiness Street, Please Come In!" from the mainland was nominated for Best Art Direction.
Gu Wenhua is still polishing the script for the second installment of the "Happiness Street" series and has been in seclusion for a long time. The last time he was seen was when his neighbors on Happiness Street spotted him doing location scouting. Regarding this Best Art Direction nomination, he only briefly replied "Okay" and then didn't respond further.
Anyway, "Happiness Street, Please Come In!" was one of Shang Yechu's representative works, and everyone in the crew had each other's contact information. Shang Yechu simply let the art director and art supervisor of "Happiness Street" hitch a ride with his team to South Korea.
Qingping Entertainment went to great lengths to persuade the judging panel of the Ying Shi Awards. Yang Huanyi also put in a lot of effort. Yang Huanyi had Cao Shi's money and connections, while Shang Yechu had fame and Qingping Entertainment's operational experience. It was still uncertain who would emerge victorious.
However, the favorite of this year's Film Awards is not "The Forest Without Flowers".
Most art awards around the world follow a principle known as the host country principle, or the local favorite principle. Given that the quality and reputation of the shortlisted works are roughly equal, they tend to favor films produced in the host country.
This year's Film Awards were no exception. South Korean films accounted for three of the Best Actress nominations. Furthermore, all three nominees are veteran actresses with high standing in Chungmuro—a synonym for the South Korean film industry, roughly equivalent to Hollywood in South Korea.
Among the nominated South Korean films, "The Blue Wall," "The Carved Iron Chair," and "Waiting to Be Legalized" are all excellent works. In particular, "Waiting to Be Legalized" is a political satire that is most beloved by the South Korean art scene.
In her previous life, Ming Xiaoyuan was the one who won three major awards and became a Grand Slam Best Actress in the film "The Forest Without Flowers." She played Lin Fengyu in the film. As for how many awards director Luo Yao won and what awards he won, Shang Yechu had no recollection of them.
Putting aside the previous life, even in this life, Lin Fengyu is the more well-developed character of the two protagonists. This makes Shang Yechu somewhat worried. She is confident that her acting skills are no less than Yang Huanyi's, but film award selections not only consider acting skills, but also the political correctness of the character. — The more complex the character, the more likely they are to be considered sophisticated.
Shang Yechu knew that Yang Huanyi shared the same anxieties as him, but were several times more severe.
Shang Yechu has "The Heavenly Emperor" in the pipeline and "Ice and Iron" about to start filming. In addition, a series of scripts are waiting for her. Even if she doesn't win the Ying Shi Award, it won't affect her booming career.
Yang Huanyi, however, desperately needs a representative work and a prestigious award to turn his career around.
She was too hasty.
These days, Yang Huanyi's team has not only fueled the unauthorized recording of content, but also bought a large number of press releases and CP (couple pairing) marketing materials promoting her acting skills. The acting skills press releases are intended to overshadow Ye Chu, while the CP marketing is intended to link her to Ye Chu. In fan circles, this behavior is known as "both promoting and criticizing," and it's the kind of behavior that most provokes the most resentment from fans.
This method proved highly effective. The number of people and active fans in Yang Huanyi's Super Topic has increased dramatically, and many casual viewers who had only seen her previous works have also become fans and become the new generation of "Little Grass Sisters".
This method of binding Ye Chu and sucking her blood naturally enraged Ye Ya. However, "The Forest Without Flowers" was still showing in theaters, and the public was very interested in Chu Yi Shiwu, so Ye Ya and the others couldn't act rashly. They could only record Yang Huanyi's various actions and settle accounts later.
Shang Yechu also suffered a terrible misfortune. The sycophants and toxic fans have recently gone crazy. Whenever Yang Huanyi promotes her acting skills or a romantic pairing, they tag her in the repost and comment sections, determined to let Yechu see for herself what kind of person the woman they love really is.
The worst thing was that a group of harassers, led by the desperate abandoned woman, actually tracked down Shang Yechu's private messages and sent her wedding photos and pregnancy photos of Yang Huanyi and Cao Shi (which Cao Shi recently posted on his Instagram account, that bitch Cao Shi)!
No matter how much the fans criticized her, Shang Yechu could only remain silent.
On the other hand, resourceful netizens have also unearthed more and more clues. Over the past month, there have been many voices online suspecting that Shang Yechu and Yang Huanyi's on-screen romance has become real.
For example, tonight, another trending topic appeared on Weibo, and it even topped the trending list.
#Ye Chu Yang Huanyi Timeline#
Shang Yechu clicked on it and saw a post with green petals. It was titled something like "Yechu x Yang Huanyi: Super Long Lead-in Conversation! The Most Complete Summary of Yechu and Yang Huanyi's Fifteenth Year on the Entire Internet!" It had been screenshotted and posted on Weibo by a marketing account, and it actually became a trending topic.
