Seeing that there were many people around him, Duan Xi pulled Chen Ange to a deserted place and said, "The situation is more serious than imagined."
Chen Ange nodded and said, "Yes, the crime of conspiring to subvert the alliance is terrifying at first sight."
Duan Xi said with a gloomy face: "In comparison, Kang Zhen's crime of corruption is just like a child playing house."
"That Lieutenant General Luo Chongwen has a very high rank, right?"
"The head of the Joint Intelligence Agency, the 'big tree' behind Lao Wan. Lao Wan came to Kunlun yesterday to report, and was immediately asked to 'cooperate with the investigation'... Ha!"
Chen Ange shuddered slightly: "This means that things are not as easy as Lao Wan said, and he is not simply involved."
Obviously, the superiors deliberately downplayed the seriousness of Luo Chongwen's case at the beginning and waited for Wan Muchiu, an important person involved in the case, to fall into the trap.
When Wan Muqiu arrived in Shangjing yesterday, the superiors immediately tightened their pockets and finally classified Luo Chongwen's case as "conspiracy to subvert the alliance."
This shows that Wan Muqiu is the last or most important link in this case.
As for not rushing to Danjiang to arrest him before, it should be noted that Wan Muchiu was the garrison commander in charge of the military affairs of a city at that time. The strength of a brigade at hand was unmatched in Danjiang City.
What should I do if I rashly go to Danjiang to catch him and force him to rebel?
Donghai City has been captured in Dongda District. If Danjiang responds to it or even merges with the Dawn Organization, it will be impossible to deal with it.
Wan Muqiu might not do this, but his superiors didn't dare to take such a gamble.
It wasn't until Wan Muqiu arrived in Shangjing yesterday that he immediately carried out the arrest - euphemistically called "cooperating with the investigation". Unfortunately, they may have underestimated Wan Muqiu's ability. After all, he is a master of Qi, and he was raised in Longwei.
It became a powerful anti-reconnaissance capability, but he actually escaped!
But Duan Xi felt that what the above did was indeed insidious. This was no longer handling a case, but more like a trap.
The only thing that is somewhat fortunate is that Lao Wan escaped, but so what? After all, he has changed from a general to a fugitive suspect.
I don’t know where this guy is hiding now, and who can help him?
Of course, Lao Wan was really interesting and chose to go to Beijing alone yesterday. What would happen if we came together today? I'm afraid we all would be invited to drink tea together.
So Duan Xi and Chen Ange began to feel depressed when they entered the city. They returned to everyone in the slightly cold wind with many worries.
And Duan Xi decided that he would find a way to contact his former acquaintances in the evening to find out the specific situation. If - and it could only be if - there was any possibility, he still wanted to help Wan Muqiu and Murong Qing as much as possible.
The Millennium crowd still didn't know what was happening and were still immersed in the excitement of entering Shangjing.
Mu Rou finally got rid of the movie fans and joined everyone. At this time, a medium-sized bus sent by the Film Guild also came here to pick up the station and took everyone through the bustling streets.
After all, they are the original team behind today's hit movies, and the Film Guild still takes them very seriously.
The closer the car got to the city center, the stronger the sense of a lavish city became. It wasn't until it drove into a spacious compound and approached a splendid twelve-story building that was already a super-tall building in this era that the car slowly stopped.
Come down.
There are 36 steps from the ground to the huge arched door on the first floor of the building. It is said that after entering, there is a spacious front hall, and deeper in the front hall is the place that all filmmakers dream of-the Golden Hall!
Every Golden Phoenix Award ceremony is held here, and it is the ultimate dream of every filmmaker to step onto the red carpet of the Golden Hall at that moment.
Even if you don't win the award in the end, but are only nominated by those three or five people, being able to wait for the exciting moment in the guest seats in the hall when the awards are presented is already a lifelong honor for most filmmakers.
For a moment, Mu Rou felt a little suffocated. She put her hands together on her chest, like a devout believer.
Even director Zhang Yunwei, who had always been nonchalant and carefree, seemed to be filled with hope at this moment, looking at the tall arched door in the distance.
Wu Dongpeng, the usually unsmiling actor, was even more uncharacteristic at this moment, with burning desire bursting out of his eyes.
Like Mu Rou, he was a washed-up third-tier artist. He was always in the cold and bumped into obstacles. It was the drama "Peace Hotel" that forcibly supported his celebrity status and enabled him to become famous in the Golden Hall.
carpet.
But he also knows that his position is still quite unstable. In this star-studded movie era, there are only a few stars that will never go out, and more are fleeting meteors. Only a dazzling streak streaks across the sky of art.
The glory will fall into silence forever.
In short, this movie holy land brings different feelings to these filmmakers.
Under the leadership of the reception staff of the Film Guild, everyone entered the office area through the side door on the upper left side of the steps, prepared to report to the check-in area, and then confirmed their stay at the hotel.
At the same time, another large car drove into the yard and stopped right next to Duan Xi and others.
The car door opened, and a series of familiar faces came out, and the stars were dazzling—a delegation from Blizzard Pictures, the industry leader!
As the leader in the industry, this company naturally has the most celebrities, and all of them are famous.
There are three winners of Best Actor and Best Actress in the past, as well as famous directors, screenwriters, and photographers, all of them are big names.
Facing these arrogant industry giants, to be honest, the people at Millennium Pictures were excited and excited, but also felt a little inferior.
As a young talent in the industry, how can my status be compared with others? Even some famous artists from Blizzard Pictures have been my idols all along.
Even an artist like Mu Rou, who has become famous all over the world, actually feels a little guilty.
Duan Xi was the only one who didn't care. He waved to the cast opposite and said hello. There were two actors whose acting skills were quite good, and Duan Xi always admired them.
As a result, people didn't like him, but were rather hostile to him.
People who work in the same industry are enemies, not to mention that Blizzard Pictures is coming from the creative team of "Doctor Fantastic". How can we not be hostile? "Peace Hotel" not only stole the box office, but also stole the limelight.
Of course, other people at Millennium Pictures did not dare to say hello rashly, lest they touch a cold butt with a warm face.
Finally, a middle-aged man wearing an expensive and fashionable coat got out of the car, as if he was at the finale, and he was a bit pretentious.
This man's appearance is very good. After all, he was also a second-rate idol artist when he was young. But after his transformation, his identity became more special and he became more important in the industry - Bi Yonglin, general manager of Blizzard Pictures!
This man had already noticed Mu Rou and Wu Dongpeng through the car window just now, because he had too much resentment towards Millennium Pictures and "Peace Hotel" in his heart.
"Isn't this the Millennium delegation?" Bi Yonglin shouted. Everyone on both sides stopped, and he asked directly, "Excuse me, who is 'Fa Ge'?"
Don't mention the director, don't mention the starring role, and don't even pay attention to the other party's boss, just go directly to the screenwriter.
It can only be said that as a professional in the industry, Bi Yonglin has long judged that although the success of "Peace Hotel" is multi-faceted, the biggest advantage is still the new style of story brought by the screenwriter.
Consultant Duan Xi, whose stage name is "Fa Ge", is also the man behind the powerful promotion of "Peace Hotel", which has attracted even more attention in the industry.
Duan Xi waved his hand again.
Fortunately, this time, several movie kings and movie queens who had previously ignored the other party actually showed surprise. Obviously, they all understood the importance of "Fa Ge" on the road to the success of "Peace Hotel".
Bi Yonglin immediately smiled and said: "Congratulations on bringing a good story, which caught everyone off guard. I wonder if Brother Fa has any new stories coming out? If you are willing to cooperate, the door of Blizzard Pictures is always open to you."
Poaching in person!
Chen Ange's expression was very bad, and he only replied: What do you want to eat?
Duan Xi shook his head: "Thank you, Mr. Bi, for your kindness, but I am a contracted screenwriter for Millennium."
Bi Yonglin's face naturally turned ugly when he was rejected in person. As the boss of a leading company in the industry, he always extended an olive branch to anyone, and no one accepted it with fear and sincerity. Even if he had an appointment, he had to express his regrets with a smile on his face, and
I sincerely expressed that I would seriously consider it if I had the opportunity in the future.
How could anyone refuse so directly like Duan Xi?
Bi Yonglin laughed self-deprecatingly, saying it was okay, and then turned to Mu Rou and Wu Dongpeng: "The performances of the two of them are also excellent. Keep up the good work. Of course, if the two are interested in collaborating in the future, we at Blizzard Pictures will also maintain enough sincerity."
"
Mu Rou immediately waved her hand, saying that she would not leave Millennium.
Chen Ange was annoyed: "Mr. Bi, how can you poach someone in front of someone like this? It's a bit out of place."
Bi Yonglin laughed loudly: "People have been going to higher places since ancient times. If you stay huddled on a small platform, you will only miss opportunities and bury your talents."
Chen Ange retorted: "Has Mu Rou and Wu Dongpeng been buried?"
Two once-famous little stars have now become first-line entertainers, and with only one drama, what else do you want?
But Bi Yonglin shook his head: "If you are lucky, you may occasionally hit the box office; however, awards will not be given to artists from small companies. The title of Best Actor and Best Actress requires the support of a large platform to win."
The words are harsh, but they are true.
Even though "Peace Hotel" is so popular, if you want to win heavyweight awards such as Best Actor and Best Director, it requires not only the efforts of the performers, but also the strength and operational capabilities of the company you work for.
For example, the Best Actress represented by "Queen of the Movies" cannot be given to Mu Rou just because your "Peace Hotel" is a hit. If it were so simple, what else would the jury do? Couldn't it just be based on the box office?
At that time, the Golden Phoenix Award jury will make comprehensive considerations and judge from the perspective of acting skills.
Some judges are fair, but as long as a powerful film company can handle some of the judges, it is enough to decide the award.
Chen Ange sneered: "Listening to Mr. Bi's tone, it seems that he has already collected most of the trophies."
"How dare you, but Blizzard Pictures is still determined to win some heavyweight awards. Small companies can only stand aside."
The words of the pretender had a strong smell of gunpowder, making both sides realize that although they had not yet entered the golden hall, the competition had already begun.
