The success of "The Legend of 1900" and "Catch Me If You Can" made many celebrities take Tianrui Entertainment seriously for the first time.
Since arriving in Xiazhou, they had heard others mention Tianrui Entertainment more than once, but at the time they didn't care about these trivial details.
There's a saying: "When the tiger is away, the monkeys reign supreme."
In their eyes, no matter how well the entertainment companies in Sixteen States were doing, they were just flowers grown in a greenhouse, never having experienced any real waves.
But after these two films received excellent reviews overseas, they realized that Tianrui Entertainment could not only succeed in China, but also achieve great success overseas!
Some celebrities have begun to learn through their own channels that Tianrui Entertainment still plans to produce films, and is expected to begin preparations after the World Arts Conference.
And the next movie is also a science fiction film, and most importantly, Fusheng is still the screenwriter for this movie.
"Can we get in touch with Fusheng?"
"No, don't be fooled by how enthusiastic the people from Tianrui are. When it comes to contacting Fusheng, they start to beat around the bush."
Some celebrities have secretly instructed their agents to see if they can get in touch with Lin Rui, but unfortunately, the results have not been good.
"Let's think of another way. If all else fails, we'll have to find an opportunity to meet in person."
"Yong'an, do you mean the special training camp?"
When asked by his agent, Hua Yong'an did not hide anything: "Yes."
"Even Fusheng has to report to the special training camp?"
The agent was even more puzzled: "Logically speaking, you're not contestants, so why are you participating in the training camp? Has the policy changed?"
After a pause, the agent frowned and said, "That's not right either. Even if the policy changes and you need to appear, there's no time to spare."
"I've asked around with many people, but I haven't received any definite information. The only thing I can confirm right now is that there's a problem with the submitted entries."
Hua Yong'an said in a deep voice, "We submit our works based on the experience of previous sessions, but this time, because our country is hosting the World Arts Festival, some works must be adjusted."
After a moment's thought, the agent guessed the gist of the matter and asked seriously, "Yong'an, will your submitted work be affected?"
"We'll only know once we get to the special training camp. As things stand, the odds are against us."
The odds are against them!
Seeing Hua Yong'an's slightly unpleasant expression, the agent fell silent for a while before gently patting Hua Yong'an's shoulder: "Don't overthink it, let's take it one step at a time."
"I see."
"When do we report to the special training camp?"
"tonight."
…
In fact, similar conversations take place in many places.
The celebrities who received the summons were all completely baffled. As for what the authorities were planning, they would only find out tonight.
Around 6 p.m., Chen Bin took Lin Rui to the Xiazhou Art Association.
"Teacher Fusheng, please come with me."
There was a person in charge of receiving them at the gate. Lin Rui followed this person and turned left and right before finally arriving at a conference room that was over a thousand square meters in size.
There were already quite a few people sitting inside, and many pairs of eyes were cast at Lin Rui as soon as he entered.
After all, Lin Rui is currently riding high, and everyone has their own opinion on the quality of the movie "Cat and Mouse Game," otherwise they wouldn't have privately sent their agent to contact Lin Rui.
Everyone greeted Lin Rui in a friendly manner, but they all restrained themselves. Even though they wished they could establish a friendship with Lin Rui right now, they did not take any action.
Lin Rui simply picked a seat on the side and sat down. This seat was usually one of those inconspicuous corners, but because he sat there, he became the focus of everyone's attention.
"You don't mind if I sit here, do you?"
A gentle voice rang out.
The newcomer was Sima Yanran. Seeing Lin Rui's wandering gaze and absent-minded appearance, she couldn't help but find it amusing.
Regardless of what Lin Rui thought, Sima Yanran sat down: "Do you know why we were brought here?"
There has still been no response.
Sima Yanran was speechless. She glanced at Lin Rui, who was still staring blankly, and at that moment, she felt a little amused and exasperated.
"Don't worry about it, he does this all the time."
Zhao Wenyao walked over with a smile: "Brother Fusheng, this is the state you'll be in whenever you have inspiration. President Zhou told me about this."
"It's quite interesting."
Seeing Lin Rui still lost in thought, Sima Yanran smiled and then started chatting with Zhao Wenyao.
Half an hour later, the conference room was filled with no fewer than a hundred celebrities. At that moment, a group of people walked in through the front door.
"They are all members of the China Literature and Art Association."
Many people were talking in hushed tones.
Of course, the exchange only lasted a short while, and soon the huge conference room fell completely silent.
Among the people sent by the Huaxia Literature and Art Association, an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties placed the microphone in front of him and said seriously, "I'm sure you all had some guesses about why we invited you all here."
After a pause, the old man continued, "Just as you all guessed, there are indeed some problems with the entries you submitted this time."
There was no uproar, not even a whisper; the entire venue remained perfectly quiet.
The old man said calmly, "Of course, it's not that your submitted works are bad, but rather that we had some problems communicating with the World Federation of Arts."
How did they suddenly get involved with the World Federation of Arts?
The crowd looked somewhat strange, but they all refrained from asking the questions that were on their minds, because they knew that the old man would answer their questions.
"Here's what happened: a month ago, the World Federation of Arts informed us that the rules for the entries would be revised and a new competition format would be adopted."
Without beating around the bush, the old man explained, "We sent people to coordinate, but the results were not ideal because the adoption of the new competition system was decided by a unanimous vote of twenty-six countries."
A unanimous vote?
The celebrities present weren't fools; the so-called unanimous vote was nothing short of a blatant conspiracy!
It's likely that the countries of Luo, Dian, and Gaul are behind this.
As for why we should do this?
Many people have made some guesses, and it is probably related to the complete opening of the cultural market in China after the World Arts Festival.
This is probably the only reason that prompted countries like the Kingdom of Luo to shamelessly pressure the World Federation of Arts to amend the rules of the World Arts Association.
"Chairman Chen, I'm sure everyone has guessed the cause and effect, and we can all understand it."
"Since we've encountered a problem, and I believe everyone is willing to face it, let's talk about the changes to the new competition format."
One of the celebrities sitting in the front row spoke up. Although he had faded out of the entertainment industry for many years, his influence remained.
The old man smiled slightly: "The rules haven't changed much, but every single one of them is quite disadvantageous to us. Of course, the official team can make some adjustments, so let me talk about the changes that are relevant to you all."
