Chapter 295: Three Major Film Festivals, Being a Mentor? (Asking for Monthly Tickets)

"For Whom the Bell Tolls" has been nominated for 8 awards..."

Ding Chunling said to Lin Xing: "Because Magnolia Awards can nominate two male protagonists, so For Whom the Bell Tolls was nominated for you and Liang Yi, but Liang Yi was not nominated..."

Speaking of this, Ding Chunling smiled and said: "In fact, the crew must know that Liang Yi does not have this ability, but after all, we have to consider his face."

Time really flies.

Lin Xing really didn't expect that Magnolia Awards would start again.

Another year.

While Lin Xing was out of contact, Magnolia Awards had already started the registration work, and announced the list of TV series a few days ago.

And Magnolia Awards will also announce the list of nominees for the four major units of overseas dramas, documentaries, cartoons, and variety shows.

This time, For Whom the Bell Tolls has a total of six nominations.

Best TV series.

Best director.

Best screenwriter.

Best actor.

Best supporting actress.

Best supporting actor.

As a phenomenal work in 2025, to be honest, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is not nominated for 6 awards.

Because the most nominated Magnolia Awards this time is last year's period drama "Love in the World", which was also broadcast on CCTV. It is a standard drama, and the actors are all powerful.

Although many people complain that the plot of "Love in the World" is a bit pit, the heroine is a green tea, the hero is too unlucky, and the good guys in this drama all get sick and die in the end, but the bad guys are successful one by one, and finally a light apology is over.

But because it is a serious drama, and all the actors are veteran actors, the ratings are naturally quite high, but the Douban score is only 6 points.

Obviously, it's because of the plot.

Because everyone thinks that this plot is typical of the three views, although it is better than the original "Mother's Wife", but basically everyone recognizes the actors' acting skills, and thinks that the plot is negative.

How to say it?

If a good person thinks a little bit about himself, he will be criticized, even condemned by thousands of people, but if a person who has lost all conscience does something a little bit, he can be forgiven and saved.

If this plot is put in an online article, readers will send knives to him.

But the audience of the TV series does not think it is a problem.

It is precisely because of this that the ratings have naturally soared, and even the highest point is higher than "Sweeping Black Waves".

In addition to "Sweeping Black Waves", the phenomenal work in 2024 is "Love in the World".

This time, "Love in the World" has a total of 9 nominations.

There are two nominations for the best actress, Ling Jing and Qiao Lina.

However, the most popular candidate for the Magnolia Award this time is Xiang Ying. Although the ratings of the drama "Dark Before Dawn" were a bust, Xiang Ying was still nominated for the best actress.

As for Ren Yi, he was nominated for the best actor.

At the same time, Hou Jianlai was also nominated for the best actor with "The Power of the Conspiracy".

You see, this is unfortunate.

At the beginning of this year, the three dramas "For Whom the Bell Tolls", "Dark Before Dawn", and "The Power of the Heart" competed with each other, and almost made the pig brains come out.

As a result, the three dramas are still competing during the Magnolia Awards.

There are still many discussions on Weibo.

Of course, the fans of Chu Chen and Niu Xiang are still very angry.

Yes.

Very angry.

After all, it is better that Niu Xiang, as a supporting actor, was not nominated for the Best Supporting Actor, but it is a bit funny that Chu Chen was not nominated for "Eternal Love".

The industry is not surprised. How could Chu Chen's acting skills be nominated for Magnolia? ?

It would be fine if he was nominated for some pork distribution. No matter how much pork is distributed in the Magnolia Awards, the premise is that this pig must have something to offer.

Of course, Chu Chen's fans don't think so.

"Now Chu Chen's fans are scolding Chu Chen's studio while scolding the drama "Eternal Love"."

Ding Chunling finally laughed and said such a gossip.

Of course, it was just a joke.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the current Chu Chen will no longer have any influence on Lin Xing.

Or it can be said that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has left Chu Chen far behind.

Lin Xing is now on the road of acting.

"If you can win the Magnolia Award this time, then we will have more freedom in selecting dramas in the future."

Ding Chunling said with some fantasy.

Lin Xing did not have much hope for this.

Which of the people who are currently nominated for the Magnolia Award is not better than him? ? ?

The same sentence.

The most important thing is to participate.

In the evening, the crew of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" had a small gathering.

"Axing, I finally see you."

"Yes, Brother Xing, your filming of a drama is too big."

"Axing, when I heard that the agent couldn't contact you, I really thought it was a joke."

...

It was called a small gathering of the crew, but in addition to Dong Deng, Liang Yi, Ren Shuai, Wu Qifeng, An Yifeng, Wei Fei, Wang Lu and others were there.

It can be said that all the leading actors are here.

This time, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has two nominees for Best Supporting Actress.

Yes.

If you say that there are two nominees for Best Actress, you may not be surprised, but no one expected that "For Whom the Bell Tolls" has two nominees for Best Supporting Actress.

One is An Yifeng and the other is Wei Fei.

These two people are the two most outstanding female characters in "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

Compared with Wu Jingyi played by Wang Lu, Chen Xuewu and Lin Diewu are more influential.

In particular, An Yifeng returned to the TV drama circle with the role of Lin Diewu.

The double nomination for Best Supporting Actress is a hotly debated point.

In addition, the Best Supporting Actor in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" went to Wu Qifeng.

Not even Ren Shuai has any opinion on this.

In fact, Liu Haotian played by Wu Qifeng is really good, and he really gave a crazy performance.

But Liu Haotian’s crazy criticism was for the sake of the war of resistance.

At first, everyone really felt that Liu Haotian was too ruthless and perverted. For the Deathstroke Plan, he even killed his own people at will.

As a result, it was discovered at the end that Liu Haotian sounded the death knell with a death knell.

He had no intention of living in the first place.

Even after five months, there are still a lot of discussions and editing about Liu Haotian on Station B.

Everyone is still touched by the prelude and implementation of the Deathstroke Plan, especially the Deathstroke Plan.

After all, this is the power of a drama.

Really good dramas are still popular even after so long.

This year is considered a lucky year for Wu Qifeng, or in other words, Wu Qifeng has become popular since the premiere of "The Hidden Lurker" last year.

Think about it, he played military commanders in "The Hidden Man" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls."

The only difference is that Feng Sen, played by Wu Qifeng, is a selfish person who only seeks personal gain, while Liu Haotian is a loyal anti-Japanese fighter with deep love and loyalty to the country.

But the role of Liu Haotian is more complicated.

Because Liu Haotian's character can be described as paranoid, he is willing to sacrifice everyone, including himself, in order to complete his mission.

Why Chen Xuewen said he was a lunatic was also because of this.

Because of the role of Feng Sen, Wu Qifeng has received more scripts, but because of the role of Liu Haotian, Wu Qifeng has now been exposed to some scripts for male leads.

If Wu Qifeng can really win the Best Supporting Actor in Magnolia, then with the additional awards, Wu Qifeng can really go one step further.

Because of this, Wu Qifeng also thanked Lin Xing.

Not only Wu Qifeng, but the entire crew is grateful to Lin Xing. After all, it was Lin Xing who invested the money that allowed "For Whom the Bell Tolls" to be filmed smoothly.

Today's small gathering is actually a warm-up for the upcoming Magnolia Awards.

Everyone will definitely go there by then.

Lin Xing instantly became the center of attention as soon as he appeared.

Except for Wei Fei and An Yifeng, everyone present had basically not seen Lin Xing for a long time.

"Axing, when will your movie be released?"

Dong Deng asked first after Lin Xing sat down.

"We are still in the post-production phase for the time being. We will wait until the post-production phase is completed."

Lin Xing said with a smile: "Don't worry, I may have to go to major film festivals to try for opportunities."

"this is necessary."

Ren Shuai said: "This kind of literary and artistic film is mainly about winning awards. If it can win a few awards at some foreign film festivals, it will be very helpful for publicity."

"Well, Director Dai is quite confident. He wants to see if he can catch up with the Venice Film Festival..."

Lin Xing said with a smile.

After all, the three major European film festivals are generally where major literary and artistic films want to compete.

Venice International Film Festival in Italy, Cannes International Film Festival in France and Berlin International Film Festival in Germany.

Needless to say, Cannes is being held this month and there is no way to make it.

As for the Berlin International Film Festival, it is generally held in February every year.

Only Venice is open from August to September every year.

What’s more important is that Venice is judged on ‘artistic quality’.

From Diane's point of view, he felt that "Killing Arden" could really go to Venice to develop.

"The question is, registration ends in Venice in less than half a month. Can you guys catch up???"

Dong Deng said with a slight frown.

Wei Fei on the side said: "We specially invited Hua Hai to help with the post-production. Let the post-production team catch up. There should be no problem."

You must know that Huahai has rich experience in the later period.

After all, Xin Hui paid for "For Whom the Bell Tolls" in the first place and asked Hua Hai to work overtime in post-production to complete it.

This time it was nothing more than a return to old tricks.

"If you wait until the film is finished, you must let me watch it."

Dong Deng became interested: "I really want to take a look now."

Liang Yi also said at this time: "Yes, and my film, Ah Xing, was also submitted to Venice..."

You must know that Liang Yi also made a literary film, but his literary film has already been completed and entered post-production.

And unlike Lin Xing's film, Liang Yi's film has already been submitted to multiple film festivals.

Obviously, this literary film is also preparing to win awards.

Let's talk about it, it's really the same path in this regard.

"Then let us wish both Ah Xing and Lao Liang to become famous overseas for their artistic films..."

Dong Deng said, picking up the wine glass.

Everyone was quite happy at this gathering.

"Axing, I'm going to join the team soon."

An Yifeng said to Lin Xing: "Will you visit my class when you have time?"

"Huh? So fast??"

Lin Xing was slightly startled.

You should know that when An Yifeng was filming "Killing Ading", she only said that there were several scripts to choose from, but she didn't say she would join the crew.

But today she actually said she would join the crew.

"Well, mainly because I like that script very much."

An Yifeng smiled and said: "It's an urban drama, which happened to be filmed in Yun Province. It's about tourism, and it can be regarded as a tourism promotional film..."

It belongs to filming and traveling at the same time.

"Okay, no problem."

Lin Xing said: "I'll go when I have time."

Not only An Yifeng, Wang Lu also joined the crew. She also took on an urban drama, but it was a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama.

Of course, Wang Lu played the leading female role this time.

Therefore, even if it was a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama, Wang Lu also fought for it.

Wang Lu also hoped that Lin Xing could visit the set.

"And me."

Ren Shuai also said: "Axing, I have taken on another spy drama now, which is being filmed, and I am the leading male role..."

Well.

Everyone seems to have a bright future because of the popularity of "For Whom the Bell Tolls".

An Yifeng is back on the TV drama circuit, and she plays the female lead.

Wang Lu has been a daughter-in-law for many years and finally became a mother-in-law, and finally she plays the female lead.

Ren Shuai is no longer called a ratings poison, and he is now filming a spy drama as the male lead.

Speaking of this drama, Ren Shuai is working with Guan Peng.

It is a spy drama comedy.

Two male leads.

In addition, Wu Qifeng has actually taken a male lead role, but it has not been filmed yet.

As for Wei Fei, she has been busy with "Killing Ading" so she didn't take the script.

Otherwise, with the role of the eldest sister, wouldn't Wei Fei be able to take the script for the female lead? ?

Everyone talked about their own situation at this gathering, and Dong Deng is also preparing for a new drama.

But it will take time.

Dong Deng sat down with Lin Xing tonight on the one hand, and on the other hand, he really wanted to discuss something with Lin Xing.

"Variety show?"

Lin Xing was slightly stunned: "Let me be a mentor?"

"Well, I just want to record a flying guest."

Dong Deng said: "Old Liu found me and wanted me to ask if you can spare time. Just two days will do..."

"This..."

Lin Xing said: "Director Dong, it's not appropriate for me to be a mentor at my age."

"There's nothing inappropriate. Who cares about age in acting variety shows now? Everything is about traffic and topicality..."

Dong Deng said very bluntly: 'Old Liu found you just because of your traffic. After all, if you participate, it will definitely bring topicality to the show...'

Lin Xing hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since Director Dong, you said so, then I will go to record one episode."

Dong Deng also laughed when he heard this: "Okay, I'll call Old Liu now."

For Lin Xing, he now needs to get away from the role of Ading. Originally, Ding Chunling wanted Lin Xing to participate in variety shows to relax.

Lin Xing has participated in the previous slow variety shows, and he doesn't want to go again.

Then it would be okay to record an episode of this acting variety show.

Let’s see if there is anything new to learn.
