"Is the Blue Ribbon going to be reformed this year?" Chen Ziyan muttered in surprise."It was fine, why did it suddenly change?" Lu Yanhe was also surprised.
"Because it has always had the lowest influence among the three major awards." Chen Ziyan said, "I know they have been trying to change this and increase their influence. This year, they invited Chen Lingling to be the chairman of the jury. It took a lot of effort to invite her."
Lu Yanhe showed a surprised expression.
With Chen Lingling's temper and personality, how can she be a judge?
If nothing else, at least there is no chance of the shady dealings being exposed.
You can say Chen Lingling is paranoid and has a bad temper, but you can't say she is unfair.
Among the many people Lu Yanhe knows, the only two directors who still have a rebellious air and are too lazy to be smooth and flattering are Chen Lingling and Wang Zhong.
"Is this what Chen Lingling did?"
"Of course not. She is only responsible for leading the judges to select from the list of nominated works. The preliminary selection of the nomination list is the responsibility of another group of judges." Chen Ziyan said, "Blue Ribbon changed its director last year. His name is Wen Yang. He has been a director and an actor. However, he stopped working in the front line more than ten years ago and became the CEO of a cultural fund company. Later, he worked as an executive of a video website and produced many film and television dramas. Until last year, he was announced as the chief producer of the Blue Ribbon Award."
In fact, the identity of chief producer is a bit like the artistic director of an international film festival.
If the director is the operator of a film or TV series, the chief producer and the artistic director are also the operators of these activities.
The person who is responsible for the quality and takes the blame should be the one.
"It's not normal for Jiang Mingzheng to criticize directly." Chen Ziyan said, "Except for some real troublemakers in China, who would really criticize the three major awards?"
Lu Yanhe said: "I don't know."
Chen Ziyan seemed to have sensed some unusual information from these signs.
“Maybe with this year’s Blue Ribbon Awards…something will happen.”
At this time, Lu Yanhe's cell phone buzzed again.
Yan Liang said in the group: Director Wu Zhouyou decided not to attend the Blue Ribbon Awards Ceremony.
Lu Yanhe asked in surprise: Why?
Although "The Gold Rush" was not nominated for the Best Director Award, it was nominated for the Best TV Series Award.
Yan Liang: The director wanted to shoot "Yesterday Again" and the timings coincided.
Lu Yanhe suddenly realized: So that's it.
Lu Yanhe thought there was some conflict and Wu Zhouyou refused to attend.
Jiang Mingzheng's bombardment made Lu Yanhe think more.
Yan Liang: But I think the director deliberately made this excuse not to go. Everyone was celebrating the nomination in the group, but he didn’t say anything to celebrate. He must be unhappy because he didn’t get nominated for Best Director.
Lu Yanhe: In fact, the drama "The Gold Rush" was so difficult to shoot and the quality was so high, he should be nominated.
Yan Liang: I don't know what happened. Anyway, when we applied for the Blue Ribbon this time, the organizing committee communicated with us several times. There were three people like me who wanted to change their application to the department, including Fu Ming, who originally wanted to apply for Best Supporting Actress. She was also asked to change her application to Best Actress. In the end, she was not even nominated.
Li Zhibai: If she applied for Best Supporting Actress, would it be easier for her to be nominated?
Yan Liang: Yes, she was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Tripod Awards.
Lu Yanhe: Did she also apply for the Best Actress award? Although she is indeed the heroine in your drama, the main characters of your drama are the two male characters, you and Wan Yun. Her role is indeed a supporting role in the whole drama.
Yan Liang: We don’t know what the organizing committee is thinking. At this time, Chen Ziyan suddenly exclaimed.
Lu Yanhe turned his head and looked.
Chen Ziyan said: "Blue Ribbon will hold a media press conference this afternoon to explain the nomination list and nomination rules for this year's Blue Ribbon Awards."
She put down her phone and said, "It seems that my guess was right. The Blue Ribbon Awards is indeed trying to stir up trouble this year."

"Linyu, you have to take someone there in person. There should be a big move." Chen Siqi was also paying attention. Combining the information she had heard from various channels, she had the same judgment as Chen Ziyan. "I have applied for an exclusive interview. Let's see if I can get an exclusive interview with Wen Yang. If possible, Li Bi will meet up with you then."
"Okay." Lin Yu responded immediately. "I'm in a meeting at Yuehutai. I've booked a high-speed train for an hour later. I'll be back soon. Yuehutai has also had a great response. They also have a drama shortlisted."
"The reason is still unknown, but I heard that many people in the film and television industry are lobbying for everyone not to attend this year's Blue Ribbon Awards ceremony." Chen Siqi said, "Something must have happened inside the Blue Ribbon Awards that we don't know about yet."
Lin Yu asked, "Will Yan He attend the Blue Ribbon Awards Ceremony this year?"
"I don't know. I didn't ask." Chen Siqi said, "He has sister Zi Yan over there. She must have heard the news. Let's find out what's going on first."
Lin Yu: "Well, I'm ready to get in the car."
"Okay, I'll hang up now. You should look at the information first."

"Not attending the Blue Ribbon Awards ceremony?" Yan Liang looked at Zhou Ping'an in shock. At this moment, he was even a little bit unbelievable. "Are you serious, Brother Ping'an?"
Zhou Pingan said, "Don't worry, let me ask you, how likely do you think it is that you will win the award this time?"
"Basically there's no hope," Yan Liang said. "But this is my first time being nominated for a Blue Ribbon Award. For me, even being nominated is a great honor."
There are only a handful of people who can be nominated for the three major awards at his age.
Zhou Pingan: "I know, but I want to tell you one thing. If you don't attend the Blue Ribbon Awards ceremony this time, your next play, "Mountain Top", will definitely be nominated for the Golden Tripod Awards next year."
Yan Liang hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhou Pingan hesitantly, "Brother Pingan, "The Mountain" hasn't aired yet, right?"
"Well, it's not aired, but if you can avoid attending the Blue Ribbon Awards, The Mountaintop can help you get another Golden Tripod Award nomination." Zhou Pingan said, "It's even possible that you'll win the award."
Yan Liang looked at Zhou Ping'an in silence.
Zhou Pingan nodded, "From a practical point of view, I think this is a condition that is very worth accepting."
"Not attending the event can earn me a Golden Tripod Award nomination. This sounds like pie in the sky," Yan Liang said. "It makes me wonder if my not attending has some meaning that I don't know about."
"Some people are dissatisfied with the current Blue Ribbon Award organizing committee. As you know, this year's Blue Ribbon Award nomination list is very different from the Golden Tripod Award finalists."
"Is this why the Golden Tripod Award is dissatisfied with the Blue Ribbon Award?"
"Of course not." Zhou Ping'an shook his head. "There are others who are dissatisfied. In short, many people will not attend the Blue Ribbon Awards Ceremony this time. You are a nominee for Best Actor. If you don't attend, you will get the most favorable conditions. I hope you can agree to it."
"If I don't attend, the Blue Ribbon Awards will be unhappy with me, right?"
"We just need to find a good excuse. You're filming Friends. Isn't that the most convenient excuse?"
"The awards ceremony is on the weekend, and Friends doesn't shoot on weekends. You can find out this by just asking." Yan Liang said, "Brother Ping An, I admit that this offer is very tempting to me, but it's too... It's like someone suddenly runs up to me and tells me which stock to buy and it's going to go up 90%. It's too unbelievable and makes me uneasy, so forget it."
Zhou Ping'an looked at Yan Liang in shock.
"Don't you care about a nomination for the Golden Tripod Award?"
"I do care, but I care about what I have gained honestly, so that I can feel at ease and not guilty." Yan Liang said, "I don't accept this kind of thing, because it will become a stain on my life." (End of this chapter)
