"Director Xu has sent a message. Let me arrange more announcements for you later."
When Ji Yiyang heard what his agent Chen Meihua said, he didn't believe it at all.
"Impossible!"
"Director Xu is too lazy to take care of these things."
Chen Meihua put her mobile phone in front of Ji Yiyang.
Ji Yiyang was stunned for a moment and suddenly started to cry.
On the contrary, Chen Meihua opened her mouth and comforted her:
"It's pretty good now, much better than when I was in Fenghua."
"At least the announcements we receive are ones we can freely choose."
Ji Yiyang thought about it and agreed with this.
After remembering the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness, I suddenly felt a lot better.
"By the way, I heard that Fenghua seems to have gone bankrupt?"
Chen Meihua suddenly mentioned it, and Ji Yiyang was obviously not surprised when he heard this.
Fenghua is the company he worked for before.
"Bankrupt?"
"How did you go bankrupt?"
Chen Meihua shook her head.
"The news I heard by chance."
"I don't know the specifics."
"However, it is normal for entertainment companies like Fenghua, a semi-large company, to be bankrupted every year due to poor management."
......
Ji Yiyang didn't listen carefully to these words anymore, his mind was full of thoughts.
He doesn't think it's a coincidence that Fenghua went bankrupt suddenly.
Thinking back to the things that Fenghua had done to exploit him, with that person's temper, it seemed that it was normal for Fenghua to go bankrupt.
.....
At the same time, September is here, and the most important thing for the entertainment industry is the Peony Award shortlist to be announced at the end of the month.
Although the specific list has not yet been announced, it has already aroused heated discussion among netizens in advance.
As an annual award, the Peony Award is only weaker than the Yunyu Award and the Star Award in terms of authority and influence in film and television awards.
Official awards are never like other minor awards.
Awards other than the three major film and television drama awards, the capital behind them will more or less have the shadow of the three major entertainment.
Most of the artists who are shortlisted for the award are from the same faction or community of interests.
It is only on occasions like the Peony Awards that we can see the three major artists gathered together, without any star missing.
The value of the Peony Award has naturally increased.
Even many netizens pay attention to the annual Peony Awards. The Peony Awards are also the best performance by directors and actors to prove their popularity and strength.
"The competition for this year's Peony Awards is quite fierce. I don't know who the actor who will win the Queen's Choice Award will be."
"Personally, I feel that if it were the first half of the year, "Human Mountain" could win all the TV dramas, but "Mountains and Seas" in the second half of the year also performed very well, especially the water splash played by Zhu Zinan. It's hard to judge now." "Speaking of which, Xu Ji will probably be the biggest winner. For the depth and acting skills of the actors, there is "Mountain and Sea Love". For the popularity and traffic of the drama, there is "The Legend of Sword and Fairy One". The awards nominated for this Peony Award are expected to be
Quite a few."
"Xu Ji's "The Best of Us" was not shortlisted for last year's Peony Awards. I don't know how many awards it can be nominated for this time."
......
The main awards of the Peony Awards are actually divided into two categories. One category is for the most popular film and television dramas of the year, such as "Most Popular Actor", "Most Popular Actress" and so on.
Others are awarded to dramas that may not be so popular, but have outstanding actors' acting skills, scripts, etc.
For example, "Best Actor", "Best Picture", etc.
Of course, there are also cases where a drama has both sides.
Regarding the soon-to-be-announced shortlist for the Peony Award, netizens will naturally discuss Xu Ji.
After all, the popularity of Xu Ji's "Legend of Sword and Fairy One" exploded at the beginning of the year. Even though three-quarters of this year has passed, there is still no drama that can match it in terms of popularity or various data.
.
Although the follow-up "Mountains and Seas" is a hit drama at best, Xu Ji couldn't stand the powerful official actors that Xu Ji gathered in the drama.
Many people also contributed their peak acting skills in the drama.
......
When the shortlist for the Peony Award was announced, marketing accounts on the website immediately announced the specific shortlist.
But soon, many people discovered that something was wrong. At a glance, why did Xu Ji's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy One" and "Mountains and Seas" appear so frequently?
The first is the award shortlisted for "Legend of Sword and Fairy One".
"Ji Yiyang, the most popular male protagonist."
"An Cailing, the most popular heroine"
"She Yue, the most popular supporting actress."
""Legend of Sword and Fairy One", the most popular film and television drama"
After that is "Mountains and Seas", the shortlisted awards are:
"Zhu Zinan, best actress."
"Chen Kang, Best Supporting Actor"
""Love Between Mountains and Seas", Best Film and Television Drama"
"Xu Ji, Best New Director"
"Xu Ji, Best Screenwriter"
......
Xu Ji's two dramas were shortlisted for a total of nine awards.
Not to mention which dramas will eventually win the award, with this shortlist alone, Xu Ji, a director who has only debuted for more than a year, has gradually begun to show his dominance in film and television dramas.
In the past, although Xu Ji had become famous, many people were not aware of it.
But now that the shortlist for the Peony Award has come out, Xu Ji’s horror has become apparent.
It seems like the other party hasn’t had any trouble since his debut?
Even "Love Between Mountains and Seas", which is a tribute drama with a theme, or even "The Beginning", which is just a scriptwriter, always has something to offer in terms of word-of-mouth or the popularity of the drama.
......
Deng Yuanyang, the head of the film and television department of Phoenix Entertainment, looked unhappy when he saw the shortlist announced.
In this Peony Award shortlist, Phoenix Entertainment’s shortlisted awards actually hit a new low.
This is simply a great shame and humiliation for him.
Especially when I saw the names of the two dramas written by Xu Ji, I felt even more humiliated.
At the award ceremony of the micro-film competition, he still vividly remembered how Xu Ji, a little-known newcomer, humiliated him.
I didn't expect that the other party would grow to what it is now in such a short period of time.
These are not the most important things, the most important thing is his original promise to Zheng Yuzhen.
I said I would clean up the other party's traces, but in the end I couldn't do anything.
After all, even Phoenix Entertainment's ban was of no use, and he had no other option.
Thinking of Zheng Yuzhen, Deng Yuanyang seemed to take out his mobile phone.
"Yuzhen, are you free tonight?"
"Would you like to have dinner together?"
After he sent the message, it took a long time before he received a simple reply.
"No time."
Deng Yuanyang quickly continued to send messages.
"What about tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow's weekend should be..."
......
"Mr. Deng, why are you looking so sad?"
"Isn't it just a Peony Award? Our Phoenix Entertainment's big stage is still in the film field."
Li Zi, the second-in-command of Phoenix Entertainment's film and television department, entered the office and saw Deng Yuanyang's expression, and said comfortingly.
Deng Yuanyang shook his head.
"It's not because of this."
"Yuzhen didn't agree to my invitation to dinner. Do you think our company's top agent is that busy?"
After Li Zi heard what the other party said, he was speechless.
"Is it possible..."
"Is it just because she doesn't want to agree to your excuse?"
"Mr. Deng, listen to me. A woman like Zheng Yuzhen, who has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, is so rich that you can't control her..."
Before Li Zi finished speaking, he was angrily interrupted by Deng Yuanyang.
"Mr. Li!"
"Watch what you say!"
Li Zi:......
He was speechless and stopped talking, then turned and left.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "It's true that dog licking is nb!"
