On the way back to school, Su Ze's cell phone rang. It was Chen Jianbing.
"What!" The first sentence shocked Su Ze and startled Shishi Xiaotong next to him.
"What the hell!" Chen Jianbing laughed and scolded, "Isn't it just a finalist for the Golden Rooster?"
Su Ze: "..."
"After the film was completed and not approved, I relied on my connections to send it to the Golden Rooster. I didn't expect it to happen." Chen Jianbing laughed and said, "I am temporarily shortlisted for three nominations: Best Actor, Best Screenplay Adaptation, and Best Director's Debut."
"Uncle Chen, congratulations!" Su Ze smiled and said, "This time..."
"It's you!" Chen Jianbing finally waited for these words and couldn't help but said proudly: "There will definitely be many benefits to following you, Uncle Chen!"
Su Ze's mind went blank. He really didn't know what to say. Why would you nominate the Golden Rooster so quickly?
"You're stupid." Chen Jianbing understood what Su Ze was thinking. If a sophomore student from China Theater Academy could nominate the Golden Rooster, anyone would be confused.
Although it is only a nomination, only five of the hundreds of films each year are eligible to be nominated, which is a huge affirmation in itself, especially for a new actor.
There was a lot that was left unsaid. She had a lot to do with being nominated by this newbie. Even Jiang Qingqing spared no effort. According to what his wife said:
Silly son must help!
"Let me tell you in advance, remember to keep it secret for the time being." Chen Jianbing warned: "It's not just about the Golden Rooster, you can apply for the Golden Horse when the movie is released, and the shortlist will be out in September."
"The Golden Horse awards in October and the Golden Rooster in November. Ask for a few days off from school in advance. Uncle Chen will take you on the red carpet!"
Hearing Su Ze's familiar giggle on the other end of the phone, he reminded: "Remember to attend the media meeting on weekends, and follow along for road shows when you have time. By the way, I also need to take a few more sets of promotional photos."
After hanging up the phone, before she could say anything, Xiaotong, who was eavesdropping next to her, was so excited that she wanted to jump up from her seat.
"Brother Ze, are we really shortlisted for the Golden Rooster?"
"My dear, am I dreaming?"
"Shishi, pinch me quickly!"
"Ah, it hurts so much, please be serious!"
Seeing that Yu Shishi took back her hand and looked at herself with surprise, Su Ze smiled and said: "A spoon is shortlisted for four nominations, and I will most likely be awarded the Best Newcomer Award. Remember to keep it secret for now!"
There was great joy in the car, and even the driver quickly congratulated her. Su Ze calmed down for a moment before notifying Kong Xue.
"Nominated for the Golden Rooster?" Kong Xue stood up from his chair and said excitedly: "Nominated for Best Newcomer?"
"Okay, okay! I'll ask my connections right away to inquire about the situation. Yes, you don't have to worry about anything for the time being. Just cooperate with the movie promotion."
"By the way, it must be kept secret!"
"No one can tell!"
He hung up the phone and told Shishi Xiaotong and even the driver again that there was nothing wrong with being careful about this kind of thing.
After all, it is only temporary. If the news is leaked, there will definitely be many changes. Even though he is just a so-called best newcomer, there will definitely be a lot of people watching!
There is no shortage of envious, jealous, and hateful villains these days. Even if you don't get it, you can't make it easy for others, especially in the entertainment industry. Don't make it too common to add insult to injury.
Let the driver make two more turns for the time being, and then go back to school after completely calming down. If you say you are not excited, you must be lying. That is a golden rooster.
Although it has gradually declined in recent years, it is still the highest honor in the country and one of the three major Chinese awards.
There are countless new actors every year, but only five are nominated for Best Newcomer!
I took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down. There were still several months until the nomination was officially announced, and this kind of thing must be kept secret.
If it weren't for Chen Jianbing's debut film to participate in this year's Golden Rooster, if it weren't for the other party's deep connections and insider information, if the Golden Rooster wasn't hosted by the Film Association...
Don’t even think about such a good thing!
Thinking of this, he regained his composure and couldn't help but sneered: "Isn't it just a newcomer nomination?"
"Not the best actor!"
"I'm so excited!"
No one said anything when he returned to school. Even Zhao Yuncheng and Hu Lei kept it a secret for the time being until the dust settled.
"Hey, do you know?" Zhang Zifeng came over mysteriously before class started. Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered: "I may be nominated for the Golden Rooster Award this year!"
Su Ze was stunned. Yes, My Sister has a good reputation at the box office, and it is a realistic theme. Why did you almost forget this?
"Hey hey hey, are you stupid?" Seeing Su Ze's expression, Zhang Zifeng said excitedly: "The company has started to help with operations, and my sister's nomination should be very promising."
"Best film?" Su Ze asked curiously: "Or best actress?"
"It's not just Best Actress." Zhang Zifeng said proudly: "There should be both Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress."
Su Ze nodded. After all, Xiao Yang and Zhu Yuanyuan are also powerful people. My sister has enough influence to be nominated for two. It is indeed very promising.
"Your side?" Seeing Su Ze's silence, Zhang Zifeng hurriedly said, "I have already mentioned it to the company and will help you get nominated for Best Newcomer, but I haven't received a confirmed reply yet."
"If I don't let Kong Xue try her best, since all the Best Actress, Male and Female Supporting Roles have already been nominated, I guess I won't be short of the Best Newcomer, but if I can't do it, I'll..."
"No, actually..." Seeing Zhang Zifeng's anxiety, Su Ze smiled and said, "I have already nominated the best newcomer."
"What?" Zhang Zifeng couldn't help shouting, and then quickly covered his mouth. Seeing that there was no one around, he said in disbelief: "You have been shortlisted for nomination?"
"What's wrong?" Su Ze joked: "Are you looking down on a spoon or are you looking down on our senior brother Chen Jianbing?"
"No, no!" Zhang Zifeng's pretty face turned red. She originally wanted to explain, but seeing Su Ze smiling but not smiling, she punched her fist hard and said, "Humph!"
"I didn't expect that." Suddenly something came to mind and he muttered: "I didn't expect that you, a bushy-eyed person like you, would also betray the revolution?"
"Are you going to keep it strictly confidential if I don't take the initiative to find you today?"
"No sense of loyalty!"
Su Ze: "..."
Of course, this was a joke. Zhang Zifeng naturally understood Su Ze's reason for keeping it secret, and the same would be true for himself.
The reason why I came to see Su Ze as soon as I got the news of the nomination was mainly because I couldn't help but want to share the joy with him. At the same time, I also reminded him that the opportunity is rare, and if you can fight for it, you should work hard to win the best newcomer.
did not expect?
This guy has got it done sneakily!
"Who is competing with you this time?" Su Ze asked: "There won't be Jiang Qingqing, right?"
"That's not true." Zhang Zifeng was not sure, "At least there is no news for the time being. Logically speaking, it is the Golden Rooster Award after all. If Mr. Chen Jianbing is nominated for Best Actor, then Jiang Qingqing will basically have no chance."
Su Ze nodded, thinking about it, how could the Golden Rooster actor and actress be eaten by both husband and wife?
"The information we have for the time being is Liu Mintao and Zhang Xiaofei, the rest is still unclear." Zhang Zifeng analyzed: "Liu Mintao's works have average box office, and they are probably not very competitive."
"The company said the main thing is Zhang Xiaofei. After all, Li Huanying is too good at the box office and has a better reputation than her sister. I guess I don't have much hope this time."
Seeing that Zhang Zifeng was a little frustrated, Su Ze comforted him: "Being nominated for Best Actress is the greatest affirmation. It means that your transformation has been recognized by the profession, doesn't it?"
"Besides, Zhang Xiaofei is already over thirty, right? How old are you?"
"What happens once makes you familiar. Even if you don't succeed this time, you will definitely do well next time!"
