Chapter 948: Small Success Depends on Praise, Big Success Depends on Luck! Congratulations! My Heroine!

"It is reported that BJ Princes Cultural Communication Co., Ltd., which is 70% controlled by Zhao Yanzi, has been reported for tax evasion and is currently under review."

"Informed sources revealed that Zhao Yanzi has been blacklisted by major TV stations, and all variety shows, film and television dramas will no longer be broadcast on stars."

"Many of the endorsement brands that Zhao Yanzi has worked with have unilaterally announced the termination of their contracts and will file a lawsuit against her, demanding compensation for the impact on her reputation..."

On the 4th, Weibo hot searches were still flooded with news about Zhao Yanzi.

The main reason is that her behavior is so bad and its impact is too widespread!

Going to be a judge at a film festival, actually disrupting the fairness and impartiality of the judges, and being directly expelled by the organizing committee. Isn't this too embarrassing?

At this moment, those fans who had liked her before started to lose their fans.

As for those people in the circle who have a good relationship with her, they dare not speak out to get involved in this matter at all, for fear of getting into trouble and affecting their careers.

At this time, Happy Twist, "Shameful Iron Fist" is holding a project launch conference.

"Director Liu, all the hot searches on the Internet are dominated by the Zhao Yanzi incident. Our movie conference is not getting popular at all. Do you want to buy some press releases?"

"No, it's not necessary. It's better not to get involved at this time."

Liu Hongtao directly rejected Song Yang's proposal.

As the boss of a company, he has to look at things beyond the perspective of the employees below him.

Zhao Yanzi's incident suddenly aroused such great enthusiasm, and even caused many official WeChat accounts to criticize and even threaten to block it. Someone must be pushing for this.

Combined with the fact that the incident was caused by the Venice International Film Festival, some speculations inevitably appeared in many people's minds.

Including Liu Hongtao actually had a vague suspicion in his mind.

If nothing else, Zhao Yanzi offended a big shot with great ability and energy, who could even influence the Venice International Film Festival Organizing Committee!

So good, he is currently at the Venice International Film Festival, and he has great influence. At the same time, he has conflicts with Zhao Yanzi...

It’s not easy to stack up so many Buffs. Looking at them, it can be said that there are only a handful of them!

"Tsk, tsk, you went abroad and still didn't stop, now you're fine, you've been kicked on the iron plate, right?"

After secretly complaining a few words, Liu Hongtao turned to Song Yang and reminded him again: "Just take it easy these days and don't worry about the popularity. After the movie is officially launched in a while, we will buy hot searches again.

If you have nothing to do recently, you can study that new project. I think the story of "Li Cha's Aunt" is quite good. You can try to adapt it into a movie script. "

"Okay, Director Liu, I'll make arrangements right away."

…

In the afternoon, as soon as he returned to China, Zhao rushed to Alibaba Pictures to seek assistance.

However, in the face of the overwhelming public attack, Zhang Hao is also helpless.

"The hot searches on the Internet can be suppressed. The big deal is just to spend more money. This is not a big deal. Maybe the popularity will naturally drop after a while.

But the key now is that you have been expelled from the Venice International Film Festival organizing committee. This is the real problem, do you understand? If you can't handle this matter, your career will be completely ruined. "

When Zhao Moumou heard this, his face was gloomy and he said nothing.

How could she not know?

On the way back to China, she was already working hard to find a solution. However, no matter how large her network of contacts was, she could not affect the Venice International Film Festival at all.

Although Nortel is half of her base, Nortel's influence can only cover the mainland and cannot affect foreign countries at all, let alone a place like the three major European film festivals.

Coupled with the media's teasing and the official Weibo warning of her fate, she was completely thrown into death row!

She also tried to call Ma Yun, but the reply from "God" was almost the same as that from Zhang Hao.

It's easy to solve it at home, but there's really nothing we can do abroad.

Under this result, she could only choose to admit defeat, and she had no place to even plead for mercy!

Wanting Chen Fei to forgive her is even more nonsense!

"Go back, don't worry about it." Zhang Hao advised with some helplessness: "The matter has come to this, no matter what you do, it will be in vain. It is better to solve the company's troubles first, and then think of other solutions later."

"Well, I understand."

Zhao Yanzi responded in a muffled voice and left Alibaba Pictures dejectedly.

Being kicked out of the film festival is just the beginning. Companies, endorsements, bans... these are the difficulties she needs to face next!

If she is not careful, she will be in danger!

…

Five days have flown by, and there is only one day left before the awards ceremony of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival.

Under Chen Fei's management, "La La Land" aroused a lot of heated discussions and praise at the Venice International Film Festival, and the calls for awards became more and more frequent.

He had already set a goal before coming. This time he came only for the "Best Actress" award, so there was very little competition.

As for the "Golden Lion", he never thought about it. After all, "La La Land" is just a musical film, not a top-notch reality film, and it is impossible to deserve the honor of the "Golden Lion".

Of course, it is not impossible to compete, but the key is that there is no need.

Once the situation of "unworthy of the position" occurs, it will not only affect the film festival, but also his reputation, which is not what he wants to see.

Liu Yifei got up early today and did not choose to stay in bed.

As the awards ceremony approached, her whole state became obviously nervous, and she was no longer as relaxed and comfortable as when she first came to the film festival.

It was Chen Fei who had to accompany her to be nervous.

"Don't turn off your phone, you must keep the phone open, and don't turn on the vibration, don't delay the time to answer the phone..."

For a whole morning, Liu Yifei gave all kinds of instructions, fearing that there would be problems with his phone, which would result in him not answering the invitation call from the organizing committee.

Whether or not you can win the prize depends on this phone call. If you miss it, you don’t know if you will have another chance to come to Venice to win the prize in the future.

However, it would be better if you didn’t wait. After waiting, you received an unexpected call!

“Ding-ling-ling!”

Seeing her cell phone suddenly ring, Liu Yifei couldn’t help but feel confused.

After all, she didn’t leave her contact information with the organizing committee, so how could the staff call her?

With curiosity, she picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID.

“Oh! It’s my dad!”

On the sofa on the other side, watching Liu Yifei excitedly answer the phone, Chen Fei inexplicably felt a little nervous. This is a unique emotion between father-in-law and son-in-law.

He almost forgot that Liu’s father had already greeted him before, saying that he would come to Venice to see his daughter this time.

If nothing unexpected happens, he is already preparing to come.

Sure enough, after listening for a while, he saw Liu Yifei already answering.

"What time is your flight tomorrow? Remember to send me the ticket information, I will arrange someone to pick you up... Do you want to attend the film festival awards ceremony? We have to leave for the red carpet this afternoon..."

More than ten minutes later, the father and daughter officially ended the call.

The first moment she put down the phone, Liu Yifei asked Chen Fei: "My father also wants to attend the awards ceremony, can you arrange a seat for him?"

"Of course, I'll ask the organizing committee to reserve a seat in advance."

Chen Fei was about to make a call, but at this moment, the phone rang suddenly.

He glanced at the caller ID, raised his eyebrows slightly, and pressed the answer button.

The next second, a formal notification sounded on the phone: "This is the organizing committee of the 73rd Venice International Film Festival, Mr. Chen Fei, we now specially invite you to come to attend the awards ceremony of this Venice International Film Festival at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening..."

In less than a minute, the call was hung up.

Chen Fei put down his phone, turned his head to look at Liu Yifei, and smiled softly: "Now you can finally rest assured, right?"

"Yeah! I got a call! There are prizes to receive!"

Liu Yifei cheered immediately, and after jumping around in the room to celebrate, she couldn't wait to pick up her phone and began to share the good news with others.

At the same time, after contacting the organizing committee to coordinate seats, Chen Fei began to contact other members of the crew and told them the good news.

When they heard that they could attend the awards ceremony tomorrow, they couldn't hide their excitement and excitement!

…

Compared to the Venice International Film Festival, the 64th San Sebastian International Film Festival will be held a few days later than the former.

The closing ceremony of the Venice Film Festival is September 10, and the opening ceremony of the San Sebastian International Film Festival is September 16.

But even though it is not yet the official opening of the film festival, Feng Xiaogang has already arrived at the scene in advance.

Because he wanted to win the award, he had to come earlier than others and start the PR judges and promotion of the film in advance, so that he could have a chance to win the grand prize.

Of course, while rushing for the award, he did not forget the situation in China.

Seeing that the time difference in China had already reached the morning, he couldn't wait to call Wang Zhonglei and asked about the progress of the script review.

"Director Feng, don't worry. The script review of this kind of subject matter will definitely not be fast. Even if we have used our connections, we still have to go through the process step by step."

"Okay, but try to be faster, because I am going to start the casting plan here. I must select the roles in advance and let them participate in a period of training."

He is full of confidence in this movie. He wants both artistic attributes and commercial attributes, so casting is naturally regarded as a "business" by him.

And if you want the "business" to go smoothly, you must get the goods out, so he can't wait to get the script of "Youth" approved.

After chatting for a few more sentences, Feng Xiaogang took the initiative to end the call.

He had to meet a film festival judge later and had to think about what gift to prepare.

But just as he ended the call with Wang Zhonglei, an unexpected call came in!

After pressing the connect button, he was quite surprised and said, "Hello? Mr. Chen? It's only seven o'clock in China, why are you calling me?"

On the other end of the phone, Chen Jingfei laughed and said, "I have to ask for help, so I have to be more diligent. At the same time, I have to consider Director Feng's time difference, haha..."

"Ask for help?" Feng Xiaogang raised his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"I heard that Director Feng's "Youth" is about to be approved, right? I just happen to have a suitable person here..."

After chatting for a few minutes, the two ended the call.

Putting the phone in his pocket, Feng Xiaogang walked out of the hotel and muttered, "I really didn't expect that the first business would come so quickly. Interesting, really interesting, hahaha!"

At the same time, in a villa in the capital.

After ending the call with Feng Xiaogang, Chen Jingfei lowered his eyes slightly, looked at the person in his arms, and said: "I have already secured the audition opportunity for you. It's up to you next."

"Yeah, I know. I will cherish it. Thank you for saying good things to me."

Yang Caiyu gently leaned on the man's chest, expressing her gratitude

She knew very well that in this film and television industry full of opportunities and challenges, if you want to really stand out, you need not only talent and hard work, but more importantly, resources and opportunities!

"Small red depends on support, big red depends on fate" has been circulated in the industry for a long time. This saying has been verified by many predecessors, and she herself is also convinced.

In the current era where capital is king, the threshold of the film and television industry has become higher and higher. It is even more difficult for those who have no background and no resources to stand out!

And she is relatively lucky. After all, Chen Jingfei not only has abundant resources and connections, but also has financial resources that make countless people jealous. Being able to get the other party's favor is also an important turning point in her acting career.

She had to find a way to win this "Youth".

However, what Yang Caiyu didn't know was that although Chen Jingfei was holding her in his arms, he was thinking about another woman in his heart.

"Cannes Film Queen, Chinese actress box office record holder, billion-dollar box office heroine, behind-the-scenes boss of Longxiang Capital... Hehe, Xiaoli! You are such a good mother. You actually chose such a destination for your daughter. I admire you! I really admire you!"

...

The 10th arrived as scheduled.

While many domestic filmmakers were discussing the awards of this Venice International Film Festival, the news of Shen Teng and Wang Qi's wedding had spread on Weibo.

Although the two did not invite the media to the scene, half of the comedy world went to the wedding, and He Jiong served as the wedding host...

The circle of friends and Weibo of relatives and friends naturally attracted the attention of many netizens and fans.

In contrast, the other couple seemed a little ignored.

In Taiwan, He Rundong and his girlfriend of eight years, Lin Peixi, also held a wedding on September 10.

Although they invited many media to attend, they could not compare with Shen Teng in terms of popularity.

In fact, Chen Fei also received Shen Teng's wedding invitation, but due to work reasons, he could only send congratulations and gifts in Venice.

Liu Yifei was busy with makeup in the hotel all morning.

You know, she has a lot of high-end endorsements, and it takes a lot of effort to show all the details.

Chen Fei was not so troublesome. He put on a suit and got it done smoothly.

But it's not good to be too idle.

Liu Yifei saw that he had nothing to do, so she sent him to the airport to pick someone up!

So, the father-in-law and son-in-law met for the first time.

Although Chen Fei had never seen Liu Yifei's father in real life before, because he had seen the photo in her room, he recognized Liu's father at the first time.

At the airport entrance, he saw Liu's father coming out, and he hurriedly greeted him and took the initiative to say hello: "Hello, uncle."

"You are Chen Fei, right? It's better to meet him in person than to hear about him. He is really majestic."

Liu's father is not a serious person. He is an intellectual, and the temperament he exudes makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"Let's get in the car first." Seeing that many people noticed this place, Chen Fei hurriedly took Liu's father away from the airport and avoided the media's attention.

After getting in the car and arranging the driver to go back to the hotel first, Chen Fei started chatting with Liu's father.

He was actually a little nervous before coming, but after meeting him, he suddenly stopped being nervous.

After all, Liu's father is not a scourge, and he won't eat people. In addition, his temperament and conversation are very good, so the atmosphere will naturally be much more relaxed.

After returning to the hotel, Chen Fei took Liu's father to Liu Yifei's makeup room.

Seeing her own father coming, Miss Liu was very excited.

If the makeup artist wasn't still applying makeup on her face, she would have jumped for joy!

"Dad, haven't you eaten yet? I'll let Chen Fei take you to eat first! Then you can rest for a while and follow us to the venue by car at 5pm.

Chen Fei has already arranged a seat for you yesterday. When you arrive at the venue, don't run around. Just wait in your seat. The award ceremony will start at 8 o'clock. It may be a bit late when it ends. There will be a buffet on site..."

Listening to his daughter's chattering, Father Liu's face was full of gratified smiles, and he would respond from time to time.

Although he already has a new family, he still loves his daughter very much. It's just a pity that they can't meet often because they are in different places.

...

The time is getting closer to the award ceremony.

After the makeup, Liu Yifei went to talk to Liu's father.

Chen Fei did not disturb the conversation between the father and daughter, but returned to the room alone and called the Venice Film Festival Organizing Committee.

"Fei, don't worry, everything has been arranged. After the Best Newcomer Award is over, the organizing committee will arrange for you to go on stage. I wish you success in achieving your goal in advance. Haha, we are all looking forward to that moment..."

"Thank you very much, ma'am!"

After the call, Chen Fei turned to the suitcase, took out a diamond ring that had been prepared in the interlayer, and put it in the pocket of his jacket.

Everything was ready, he turned and walked out of the room, locked the door, and went downstairs.

At 5:00 p.m., Chen Fei, Liu Yifei, Liu's father, and other crew members took several cars and headed straight for the red carpet of the Venice Film Festival.

At 6:05 p.m., Chen Fei and Liu Yifei walked on the red carpet together, while Liu's father followed others and entered the venue through the side door.

The situation of rubbing the red carpet not only happened at the opening ceremony, but also at the closing ceremony.

As he walked along the way, Chen Fei noticed several female stars who refused to leave the red carpet, some of whom were domestic and some were foreign. They were so embarrassed and ugly!

But this situation could not be avoided, and he could only choose to ignore it.

After leaving their names in front of the signature wall, the two walked into the venue hand in hand.

Liu Yifei went to find her father again, fearing that he would not be able to find a seat in this unfamiliar place, be wronged, or even go hungry.

Chen Fei followed her to say hello first, and then began to greet and chat with other filmmakers who were present today.

Natalie Portman, Jim Carrey, Jake Gyllenhaal... all of them are from Hollywood, and they are all familiar faces.

Time soon came to 8 pm, and the award ceremony officially kicked off.

Sam Mendes, chairman of the jury, led the 7 judges to give a speech on the stage, once again severely criticizing Zhao Yanzi's behavior as disgusting, and then announced that tonight's award ceremony was officially launched!

The first awards were for non-main competition units such as the "Classic Unit", "Future Lion Unit", and "Horizon Unit".

Wang Bing's "Bitter Money" won the Best Screenplay Award in the Horizon Unit, which attracted the attention and cheers of many media and fans from China.

More than an hour later, the main competition unit award ceremony officially kicked off.

With the awarding of the first jury special award, Liu Yifei suddenly became nervous!

So much preparation has been done before, and public relations, marketing, and publicity have been rolled out on a large scale. Now it is finally time to really reap the rewards. I don’t know if the results will be as smooth as previously imagined?

She really wanted to win this award, because the two men she loved the most and was closest to were both present today, and she really wanted to prove to them that she could do it!

"I must succeed!"

Along with her prayers, the winners of the "Marcello Mastroianni Best Newcomer Award" and the "Silver Lion Award for Best Screenplay" were both announced.

And the next award was the "Best Actress Award"!

At this moment, Liu Yifei suddenly felt her palms become wet, and the nervousness began to spread wildly!

"Fade Chen, I... I seem to be a little nervous..."

She subconsciously wanted to seek comfort, but when she turned around, she suddenly found that Fade Chen, who had been sitting next to her, had disappeared!

"Huh? Where is he?"

Before she could recover from her surprise and confusion, she saw a familiar figure suddenly lifted the curtain and walked out from the backstage of the stage.

"Good evening, everyone. I am Chen Fei, the presenter of the 'Best Actress' award at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival today!"

As the loud voice spread from the stage, Liu Yifei, who was originally nervous, instantly regained her composure in the front row.

She regained her smile, full of tenderness and love, and the deep love in her eyes was sent to the stage without any concealment.

At the same time, Chen Fei, who was on the podium, also successfully opened the envelope.

He took a step forward and announced word by word to the microphone:

"The winner of the Best Actress Award at the 73rd Venice International Film Festival is Crystal (Liu Yifei) "La La Land".

Congratulations! My heroine!"
