Chapter 190 What Is Professionalism?

Li Zhonghe is running.

Run like crazy!

No matter how many people are watching along the way, how many people are taking photos with their mobile phones, pointing fingers, or even seeing girls covering their faces and screaming...

He didn't think it mattered.

The wind blew his upper body.

His upper body was a little cold, but it couldn't be blown away or extinguish the burning heart in his heart.

He felt that his blood was boiling, and the hot blood surged through his body over and over again, as if it could melt the severe cold in winter and bring spring back to the earth.

This year!

He's a senior!

Senior year is a place that makes all graduates anxious, especially in Yanjing, a place where everyone goes crazy.

months ago.

He was so confused that he submitted his resume, and then accepted rejections from companies one after another.

His professional courses were not very good, and his grades could only be described as barely passing.

His own family is not outstanding, he is not good-looking, and he is not as good at getting things done and as eloquent as some people...

As an ordinary person, he can only be eliminated like ordinary people and finally accept the reality.

He loves photography and has taken some photos, but he can't use these things to add points. There are so many graduates in related majors that he is not even as useful as a junior college student majoring in photography.

if……

If Zhang Sheng didn't show up.

He is probably an ordinary person at the bottom. He either leaves Yanjing and goes back to work in his hometown, or finds a mediocre job in Yanjing and lives with difficulty.

I can’t afford a house or a car. After I’m exhausted, I’ll go back to my hometown to get married and have children. I’ll probably find a job as a wedding photographer and slowly work on it. If I’m good at it, I’ll open my own shop...

Destiny is like a straight line, the end of which can be seen at a glance.

later……

He participated in the [School Beauty] event.

The original intention of participating in school beauty activities is just to make some money.

This event did make him a lot of money. Many girls are born with a love of beauty. When taking photos, they seemed to be possessed, taking one set after another.

During this period, he received countless praises and joys, which made his feelings of loss and self-doubt gradually rise...

Then, after the [School Beauty] event, he met Ke Zhanyi, and under Ke Zhanyi's brief training, he worked hard to film the documentary "Graduation Years."

wind!

Howling in the ears.

I recalled in my mind the vague opinions of those companies that had spent money a few days ago.

It seems that the small leaders who were in contact with Chen Mengting were criticized by their superiors for not investing money in "Graduation Years".

This movie has been uploaded to the Internet for nearly a week, and it has not made any waves...

Chen Mengting went to the video website for channel recommendations, but after chatting for a long time, the recommendations were not forthcoming.

Documentary…

It's not a movie, it's not a TV series, and it doesn't have the blessing of an idol halo. Ah K's songs are used as interludes, which may have some weight, but Ah K is just an artist who has just debuted and is somewhat popular, and cannot compare with those popular stars...

Video websites naturally give priority to other works.

As for [Starlight Future]...

They are not optimistic about the documentary "Graduation Years".

The commercial value of documentaries is too low, not even as good as some literary films. After weighing the pros and cons, the superiors did not give "Graduation Years" any traffic support.

No recommendations, no behind-the-scenes pushers, but relying on the quality of the video itself...

Unless there is some kind of opportunity!

otherwise……

How can it become popular?

In one week, apart from some operational data, the number of real clicks actually just exceeded 3,000!

And many of them are ordered by [NC Studio]’s own people!

Such embarrassing data...

This has a huge impact on the morale of the entire team...

At the same time, for Li Zhonghe, it was no less than a serious blow. He doubted himself even more, doubting that what he had worked hard for these days was nothing!

The only thing he can comfort is that "documentary itself is an unpopular thing, and it's weird if it becomes popular."

This is also what the entire team comforts each other with.

Everyone has given up any hope in "Graduation Years".

but……

Just two days ago!

This documentary suddenly became a hit.

At first, some new viewers came in to watch it. After watching it, they gave a burst of "really good" praise.

Immediately afterwards, the number of viewers grew and the number of positive reviews increased!

Then, it became popular!

It was so hot that Chen Mengting and the others were shocked, and even felt like they were having a dream!

It actually made it to the top 30 clicks list in the documentary category on video websites!

Then, it went up against the trend!

Eventually it rose to the top 20, and even reached the top 100 on the homepage video list...

The rising trend still hasn’t stopped, but is rushing upward!

The rising data attracted the attention of the website staff. Then, they assessed the popularity and then recommended this documentary...

This recommendation!

The documentary suddenly became even more crazy!

"If he is popular, I will wear my pants and run around the entire playground!"

Li Zhonghe ran to the playground...

He ran around the track like a madman.

The school security guards chased him and shouted at him to stop.

but……

Unable to catch up with him!

He ran faster and faster, as if he had endless physical strength.

There were gradually more people on the playground, and he was shouting angrily!

[……]

December 13.

After Li Yanhong dealt with a series of contract terminations, her assistant hurried over.

The assistant told her...

All the movies under their [Shengshi Entertainment] that were preparing to impact international awards were eliminated!

Only a "bad movie" "Paging 1988" that no one was optimistic about was actually shortlisted for screening!

Elimination!

This is a very normal thing.

Chinese films and overseas films are not compatible, such as Berlin, Venice, and Cannes...

There are so many films participating in the selection every year, but how many films are truly shortlisted?

But...

When Li Yanhong heard that "Thunder", a phenomenal spy war film that swept the film industry in China this year, was eliminated without even being qualified for overseas screenings!

And it was inexplicably hyped up on the hot search.

This is the first time!

Li Yanhong opened Weibo...

Then...

I saw the words [Southern California International Film Awards]. These two days, it seems to be very popular!

When I saw this award...

Li Yanhong was a little confused, and her face was full of unfamiliarity.

What award is this?

She searched her mind and pondered for a long time, but she still hadn't heard of what this award was.

It seems to be a foreign quack award?

She picked up the mouse and searched for this award.

There is even a Baidu Encyclopedia for this award?

Li Yanhong clicked on Sodu Encyclopedia and read it for a while. The introduction of this award made her confused, but it seemed very professional.

She clicked on the website link below, and then, after clicking for a long time, she found that the link could not be opened.

Domestic networks cannot access overseas websites. You need to hang an IP to operate.

Is it really an overseas award?

Li Yanhong did not log in to the website, but continued to browse Weibo.

[Southern California International Film Awards], this word has become a hot search on Weibo Entertainment List.

She saw several nominated movies...

Except for their big bad movie "Paging 1988", she had never heard of the other movies.

The name is "The Dog Over the Mountain", and the director is Bi Feiyu.

Who is this?

What a shitty movie?

There is also a documentary called "Graduation Years", which is a work of college students, and the director is Li Zhonghe...

Another inexplicable movie.

Fake Film Festival!

After seeing these movies, Li Yanhong instantly came to this conclusion in her mind.

But...

After flipping through it again, she felt something was not right!

She found a scrap of news from the Ministry of Commerce. This news actually regarded these movies as export screening movies, and even stamped them with export stamps...

She searched online and found an invitation letter for the "Southern California International Film Awards".

The invitation letter was very exquisite, even more exquisite than the Golden Horse Awards and Golden Rooster Awards!

It was obviously a wild film festival, but from all aspects, it seemed that there were indeed movies being held there, and the official Brazilian government stamp was stamped...

When Li Yanhong saw this, she immediately became suspicious again.

It looks like a wild one, but it looks like a wild one, but it looks professional...

It seems to have all the procedures it should have!

Li Yanhong even flipped through the public comments of those rejected movies...

From the film structure, the narrative plot, and the film concept!

It looks extremely professional and not written casually at all.

Every movie is like this...

It feels both fake and professional!

Especially after Li Yanhong read the reviews of the documentary "Graduation Years", she actually wanted to watch this documentary!

Her brows were furrowed deeper and deeper.

Li Yanhong was keenly aware that there was someone behind all this, and even these hands were most likely [Starlight Future].

Just as she was thinking deeply...

She saw a noise outside the company!

She walked out.

She saw Chen Bin, the director of "Paging 1988", surrounded by reporters!

He seemed to be questioned by reporters, and some reporters even said to his face that the [Southern California International Film Awards] was a fake award, and this year's Golden Horse Awards was nominated by him through backdoors...

He was so angry that his face turned red and he started a fight with the reporter on the spot!

He even smashed the reporter's camera to the ground, and then he cursed without caring about his image!
