Chapter 428 The Association's Little Master and the Leading Stick
Zuo Le stayed with the crew of "The Hidden Corner" for four days, and then left the island city after the crew finished filming.
During this period, Zuo Le also played a guest role in "The Hidden Corner" as a policeman. He didn't have many scenes, but he showed his face.
When he surrounded and killed Zhang Dongsheng, he looked at the protagonist Zhu Chaoyang and said to his colleagues next to him, half seriously and half jokingly, "This kid is not simple."
Not to mention that it is extremely scary to think about it carefully. The subsequent plot also explains Zhu Chaoyang's ending. It is just a simple little easter egg, which can be regarded as creating a topic for the crew.

【The surprise of the finale】
[The policeman who saw through Zhu Chaoyang turned out to be him]
【……】
Don't think it's just a cameo, with Zuo Le's current popularity, if the crew promotes it well, the last trending scarf won't be a big problem.
Moreover, it can also be used as one of the selling points of the finale, attracting fans of Zuo Le or passers-by who are interested in him to come and watch the show. They may have originally come to watch Zuo Le as a guest star, but they may be converted into viewers later.
That is to say, Shanhe drama is very particular about having a strong brand and not engaging in false and exaggerated propaganda.
If it had been anyone else, they would have cut out the footage of Zuo Le's cameo and announced to the public that Zuo Le was participating. The whole scene would have been so confusing that viewers who didn't know the truth would have thought Zuo Le was the starring role.
This routine has been considered normal in the film and television industry, with guest roles becoming starring roles and supporting roles being played.
Some time ago, there was a relatively famous newcomer. Before her debut, she played a minor role as a maid with only two lines in a movie. The cast was not even named.
After we got married, the newbie became popular because he participated in the talent show. The producers directly used the newbie as a promotion, and even bought drafts every day saying that this was the newbie's debut film.
The food photo was called ugly and was reviled by many netizens, even those in the industry were full of contempt.
But it doesn’t matter to the film crew. These days, entertainment industry capital takes precedence. As long as it can make money, reputation is nothing...
………
After returning from the island city, Zuo Le visited the crew of "The Match" and then headed to the capital.
Last year at the Golden Phoenix Awards, the president of the Chinese Screenwriters Association took a fancy to Zuo Le and made him a member of the national board of directors. He also served as the vice president of the Dongshan branch, barely considered a high-level executive.
This time the Chinese Screenwriters Association held a conference in Beijing, which mainly targeted several screenwriters who committed plagiarism and called on the entire film and television industry to ban these screenwriters.
During the meeting, nearly 300 screenwriters in the industry signed a joint letter, which can be said to be the most powerful one yet.
In the past years, screenwriters have experienced similar boycotts, and the thunder was loud and the rain was small.
This time is different. The association came forward in person. Not only did it use its own connections, but I heard that it also submitted a proposal to the superiors. The latter was the biggest killer move.
As long as this proposal works, even just a little bit, these plagiarizing "literary thieves" will not be so prosperous in the future, even if they are not banned.
In fact, Zuo Le was quite embarrassed to attend this meeting. He is a "drama copycat" himself and lacks confidence, so he just signed his name and did not wave the banner.
Even when the leader of the association asked him to speak, Zuo Le declined, citing his lack of qualifications.
It's really a shame...
After attending the Chinese Screenwriters Association, Zuo Le went to the TV Drama Association to hold a leadership meeting.
As Zuo Le became more famous and had a higher status, some official associations and organizations gradually opened their doors to him.
Zuo Le himself doesn't really like to join any associations. He mainly attends meetings, engages in activities, and collects news. He really can't spare the time.
It's okay to ask for leave, but you can't stay away all the time, otherwise people will say you are arrogant and don't care about the industry collective blah blah blah.
However, joining these associations, although the organization is troublesome, has many benefits. They all have official backgrounds. If you join, you will be one of your own. Someone will protect you at critical moments. If you have a higher position, it will have the effect of a talisman.
In addition, you can also expand your network of contacts, not to mention making a bunch of allies, but if you get to know a few more people and have acquaintances, you may have fewer enemies. Sometimes you can quarrel with people and get support.
Apart from other things, Zuo Le had a conflict with the Golden Dragon Awards last year, and there were many people from the TV Drama Association who spoke for him.
Many people who have nothing to do with the film field even criticized the Golden Dragon Award, even more harshly than Zuo Le.
Don't think that the film and television industry is all peaceful. There is a lot of turmoil between the television and film circles. Just because of the chain of disdain in the film and television industry, the television and television circles are not less offended.
Nowadays, it is not easy for someone as influential as Zuo Le to attack the film industry and still stand up and deal with it. Even if the target is the Golden Dragon Award, they will follow suit and help.
For nothing else, just one sentence - to let out the bad breath that has been held in for many years.
Because of this incident, Zuo Le's reputation in the TV Drama Association skyrocketed. Although he was the youngest vice president, he spoke louder than several seniors who had been vice presidents for many years.
If Zuo Le of the Dongshan Branch had not been able to find time to take charge of the work and tried his best to refuse, I am afraid that he would have been promoted from deputy to regular long ago.
Now the Dongshan branch is also looking for an opportunity to take down Zuo Le's vice president of the branch and make him an honorary president.
Anyway, Zuo Le is the vice president of the association and doesn't care about the power of the branch. Honorary president sounds better.
Zuo Le is also very willing to do this. He doesn't care if it sounds good or not. The main thing is that the honorary president can be justified and does not need to participate in many daily work activities of the branch, which saves him a lot of trouble.
In addition to the Chinese Screenwriters Association and the Chinese TV Drama Association, Zuo Le also participated in the Chinese Directors Association, the Chinese Actors Association, the Chinese Film Association, the Chinese Music Association, the Chinese Enterprise Federation, etc. He can be called a little master of the association.
.
Among these associations, Zuo Le is most popular with the TV Drama Association, the vice president of the general association, and the vice president of the provincial branch, followed by the Screenwriters Association, the director of the general association, and the vice president of the provincial branch.
Other associations, except for the Directors Association who serves as a vice president in the provincial branch, the rest are ordinary members.
The Film Association, in particular, seemed to have forgotten Zuo Le after the Golden Dragon Awards incident.
It doesn't matter to Zuo Le. He can obviously be a big boss in the TV Drama Association, but he is so stupid that he has to go to someone else's territory and become a junior?
…
This time the TV Drama Association held a high-level meeting, mainly to discuss the change of president at the end of the year.
The TV Drama Association stipulates that the president is elected every two years, and there is no limit to the number of terms. Theoretically, if you are awesome, you can continue to be president.
The current president served for three terms, and they were not consecutive. During this period, someone else came to the position. As a result, after serving for one term, he was not guaranteed at the end of the year and left before the change of term.
At that time, there was no leader. The current president was appointed at the critical moment and came back to take charge of the overall situation. He served for another term.
Nowadays, the president is really old and cannot keep up with his energy, and the people below him also want to take up the position, so he plans to give up his position next time.
Today's meeting is to discuss the nomination of candidates. The election will not start until October. When the results come out, the election will be officially changed in mid-to-late December at the end of the year.
This general election process mainly involves high-level discussions on the nomination of candidates, about 2 to 4 people, who are submitted to the top for approval. After approval, the association members vote, and the person with the most votes wins.
Zuo Le is very calm. He is still junior and young. He has not yet reached the top position, so it will not be his turn in the next term.
However, he is the vice-president after all. He has great popularity and influence from the outside world and has a high reputation in the association. Several popular candidates want to win over him.
Some people even implicitly said that Zuo Le supported him this time, and he would support Zuo Le's promotion next time.
Zuo Le looked confused. Wasn't it a TV drama president election? How could it be like competing with Lian Sheng for the leader's head? Should he wear a helmet at the party at night...
