# Jiangnan Secures International Film Festival Spot for Domestic Entertainment! #
# Facing So Much Scrutiny, He Finally Provided an Answer; Jiangnan Unveiled the Shame of Chinese Cinema! #
# Shocking: Jiangnan's True Motive for Becoming an Overseas Foreign Aid for Japan is This! #
# Tears Flow: Jiangnan Carries the Burden of Public Opinion and Doubt, Fighting for a World Stage Opportunity for Chinese Cinema! #
After the Jin Ya Film Festival awards ceremony.
Discussions about Jiangnan online escalated once more.
This time, there was no scolding, no questioning.
Only deep admiration and worship!
This public opinion incident concerning Jiangnan was undoubtedly the last fig leaf of the domestic entertainment film and television industry. No one questioned those who held spots but did nothing, using such precious opportunities to cultivate new talents. Yet, Jiangnan, who worked hard to make films and had to cooperate with Japan just to appear on the international stage, was met with so much doubt and criticism.
This pathological entertainment industry was exposed, and many were enraged.
"Although Jiangnan the old rascal likes to be sharp-tongued, his works are absolutely beyond reproach!"
"An international film festival spot! Even Guang Nian Entertainment doesn't qualify!"
"Jiangnan's situation this time is no different from Ting Yu, perhaps even more difficult. He contributes to Chinese cinema while enduring criticism; his path is heartbreaking!"
"We all owe Jiangnan an apology!"
"I have to say, Jiangnan the old rascal did something great this time. If he had said it earlier, there wouldn't have been so much backlash."
"Would they dare say it? Who would have believed him before he won the championship?"
"Exactly, this is the market's complacency. Jiangnan the old rascal had no choice but to cooperate with Japan. Now, with him securing this spot, Xing Hui Entertainment qualifies for the international film festival."
Under the dramatic shift in public opinion.
Many turned their attention to Guang Nian Entertainment.
If Jiangnan's performance hadn't been good this time, it wouldn't have mattered.
But since Jiangnan won the championship, Guang Nian Entertainment, the only entertainment company in the domestic industry qualified to participate in the Jin Ya Film Festival, was also thrust into the spotlight.
They held the qualification but did nothing, instead using it as an opportunity to promote their own young artists, sending them to the film festival for prestige.
"Guang Nian Entertainment does not deserve such a high status!"
As fans voiced their opinions.
Shen Yin Zhe's Weibo suddenly spoke out.
They exposed a series of screenshots from water army groups, which meticulously detailed Guang Nian Entertainment's purchase of water armies to smear Jiangnan.
After these screenshots were exposed, Guang Nian Entertainment once again found itself in a public storm!
"So it was Guang Nian Entertainment playing dirty behind the scenes. No wonder so many people were cursing Jiangnan."
"Heh, Guang Nian Entertainment hogs the resources but does nothing, then smears Jiangnan. This makes me laugh."
"Boycott this company's artists, boycott their movies!"
"If you guys had half the progress Jiangnan has, Chinese cinema wouldn't have reached this state of widespread mediocrity."
"Truly shameless. I have no good feelings towards this company; they are just trash that only knows how to milk fans for money!"
When others are doing great things, and you're standing still, that's one thing.
But when others are doing great things, and you're tripping them, that's quite disgusting.
Guang Nian Entertainment's purchase of water armies to smear Jiangnan was undoubtedly tripping him.
Coupled with the excellent performance of "Initial D," which secured a spot at the international film festival for Chinese cinema, Jiangnan stood on the pinnacle of morality. The moral blackmail from Guang Nian Entertainment previously became ineffective and instead backfired on them.
Within a short period, this company's market favorability would plummet to a very low level.
If they didn't do something, Guang Nian Entertainment's dominant position in Chinese cinema would surely be jeopardized, and it might even affect the box office of their future films.
...
Zhang Qingyun had been very happy recently.
Not because he had successfully made a comeback.
But because after his re-debut, he had directly achieved such high honors.
He hadn't been filming recently; he had been waiting for role arrangements at Xing Hui. When bored, he often searched for himself online.
He discovered that his impression in the public's mind had completely changed.
Before, when people mentioned him, they would always include the term "top idol." Now, those labels were gone. People paid more attention to the characters he played. From Er Dang Jia to Takahashi Ryosuke, the span of the two characters was vast, yet it allowed the public to see the progress in his acting.
A qualified actor should bring a character to life, not use the character to increase their own fame.
Some actors are the same no matter what they play. These people have a very narrow scope or can be said to be playing themselves, with no acting skills to speak of. Zhang Qingyun's current pursuit is different; he wants to try more roles.
At this moment, Zhang Yang walked in from outside.
"Yang Ge, when will we film again?" With such a good start, Zhang Qingyun was full of fighting spirit.
"There don't seem to be any roles available recently." Zhang Yang could now be considered a super-first-tier movie star, with continuous offers. However, he didn't like playing other people's roles. He felt that acting in one of Su Yu's films was equivalent to acting in ten films by others.
So, when there were no roles to act in, he would simply rest at the company.
"Um... Yang Ge, can you go and ask Director Zhang for a role for me?" Zhang Qingyun chuckled, rubbing his hands together.
"Director Zhang?" Zhang Yang was slightly taken aback by this.
He naturally knew which Director Zhang Zhang Qingyun was referring to: Jiangnan's second-in-command in the film and television department, solely responsible for directing television dramas.
He heard that Director Zhang Li's crew had already started working, filming a new martial arts TV series.
However, in television dramas, Shen Qingfeng and the Qin sisters had always been the actors. Su Yu had now separated film and television, with little overlap in actors between the two.
"Just give me any unimportant supporting role, I'm not picky. And a villain role would be best, so I can hone my acting skills." Zhang Qingyun didn't dare approach Su Yu directly, but he knew that following Yang Ge would definitely lead to work.
"How about this, I can only go and ask for you." Zhang Yang nodded after some thought.
In his opinion, Zhang Qingyun's willingness to lower his stance and act in any supporting role showed great awareness. Therefore, he decided to help him. Moreover, the other party kept calling him "Yang Ge," so it was difficult for him to refuse.
"Thank you, Yang Ge!" Zhang Qingyun was immediately delighted to see this.
Previously, filming was just like going to work; he avoided it whenever possible. Now that he understood the charm of acting, he was filled with interest in filming, not treating it as work, but as a pursuit of art.
Zhang Qingyun had grown.
And he possessed the mindset of an excellent actor.
He used to be smug about being a top idol. Now it was different. The current Zhang Qingyun only wanted to act, immersing himself in different roles. He was happy to see others discuss the characters he played, not himself.
