Chapter 315 Contact Li Changhe

Looking for a long river?
Hearing what Director Wang Yang said, Zhu Lin frowned slightly.

"Director Wang, Changhe is now working for the foreign affairs department, so he can't come back now."

Zhu Lin shook her head gently and said to Wang Yang.

Li Changhe went to Hong Kong Island this time, and Zhu Lin didn't know what specific work he did.

But she knew very well that whenever Li Changhe went to Hong Kong Island, he must have something important to do.

"Foreign Affairs Department? No wonder!"

"But this matter is also quite urgent. Comrade Zhu Lin, you are his lover, so I might as well tell you!"

Wang Yang then stood up, walked to his desk, took the list of winners, and placed it in front of Zhu Lin.

"This is?"

Zhu Lin picked up the document curiously, took a look at it, and then was a little surprised.

Is this the list of winners of this year’s Hundred Flowers Awards?

"Director Wang, this..."

"This is the list of winners from the voting statistics of this year's Hundred Flowers Awards."

"Chang He's "The Letter" and "Jungle Gun King" are both on the award list."

"This is a good thing, but it can't really be called a good thing!"

"Look below, the Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction awards were also won by Jungle Gun King. This is actually the result of the efforts of Changhe's readers."

"You are a director now, so you should understand that without a certain level of knowledge, it is impossible to distinguish good from bad in photography art competitions."

"Although 'Jungle Gun King' is our own film, the color tone of its shooting is very simple, and it is mainly about jungle chases."

"You say you have strong photography skills or something like that, but professionals will know it's a joke at first glance."

Wang Yang said to Zhu Lin helplessly at this moment, and Zhu Lin nodded.

Many of the shots were directed by them at the beginning. To put it bluntly, it was because directing the shots was simple that Ling Zifeng let them do it.

If it was a really skillful shooting, a few of them as novices wouldn't be able to handle it.

"And to be honest, Comrade Zhu Lin, the selection of these awards is not only unfair to some old comrades, but also harmful to you."

"Where there are people, there is competition. If one's virtue is not worthy of his position, there will be disaster."

"Chang He won't make movies in the future. He will be a screenwriter at most, but you want to be a director in the future."

"There is no impenetrable wall in this world. The inside story of these awards will definitely be known by major film studios in the future."

"It's normal for major film studios to borrow actors and photographers from each other."

"But if someone is jealous of you and targets you, it will not be a good thing for your future development."

Wang Yang spoke to Zhu Lin earnestly.

Zhu Lin nodded in approval: "Director Wang, I understand what you said."

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Not to mention the major film studios, even within the Beijing Film Studio, some directors have various disagreements over filming projects.

There were also cases of private reports to the Film Bureau. These were all gossips she heard privately in the crew.

"Hey, how can we let the public vote for a professional award like Best Photography?"

“The public will definitely choose the entertaining movies they like!”

Zhu Lin was also a little helpless at this moment.

"Yes, I have told the popular movies before that the public only cares about whether a movie is good or not. They don't understand many professional awards."

"But they always feel that if the Hundred Flowers Awards are restored this year, it should be more comprehensive and include all kinds of awards."

"This is going to cause trouble!"

When Wang Yang said this, he was also a little angry.

In fact, in real history, by the next year, that is, in 1981, the Hundred Flowers Awards, the Best Photography and Best Art technical awards were cancelled.

The Hundred Flowers Awards only retained five awards: Best Film, Best Actor, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.

But now, they still have to face this problem.

"Well, Director Wang, I'll go back and think about it, and then give you an answer."

Zhu Lin hesitated for a moment and said to Wang Yang. Wang Yang looked at her and guessed that she might have a way to contact Li Changhe.

But this is someone else's secret, and he can't ask about it.

Ever since Zhu Lin mentioned that Li Changhe was carrying out a foreign affairs mission, Wang Yang had some guesses.

After all, the relationship that Li Changhe has shown with that Hong Kong film company is not an ordinary relationship.

"By the way, Director Wang, can I take this list with me?"

Zhu Lin said to Wang Yang again at this time.

Wang Yang nodded: "Okay, but be careful not to leak it out. After all, this is an internal award list. Once it is exposed, it will be very troublesome."

"If nothing else, those film studios that originally invested in the film but ultimately didn't win the award will definitely not attend the ceremony after knowing the result."

Wang Yang instructed Zhu Lin.

It is so troublesome to organize an award nowadays. On the one hand, the winners have to be notified in advance to ensure that they will be present on site.

Otherwise, how embarrassing it would be if the winner was announced on the spot but didn’t show up?

However, this must be kept confidential, because if other units knew that we were only attending the ceremony as a runner-up, it would not be worth it for them as they had to pay for both the travel expenses and the accommodation.

"Don't worry, Director Wang, I understand!"

Zhu Lin nodded solemnly, then folded the list and stuffed it into her pocket.

Then, he left Wang Yang's office.

Zhu Lin did not go home because Li Changhe had been in Hong Kong Island recently. She actually stayed in the guesthouse of Beijing Film Academy.

This also makes it convenient to be with the crew.

After returning to the guesthouse, Zhu Lin returned to her room where Gong Xue was also.

Although she had a dormitory at the Beijing Film Studio, it was not as comfortable as living in a guesthouse.

Besides, Zhu Lin’s room is a standard room, and it would be easy for people to gossip about her if she lived there alone.

"Sister Linlin, you're back!"

Seeing Zhu Lin walk into the room with a sad face, Gong Xue asked softly.

Zhu Lin nodded and then sat on the chair.

"Sister, what happened? You look so sad."

Seeing Zhu Lin's expression, Gong Xue felt a little worried.

Zhu Lin shook her head, thought for a moment, and then made up her mind.

"Xiaoxue, give me the bicycle key. I'm going out for a while!"

Zhu Lin’s women’s bicycle had no one to ride at home, so she gave it to Gong Xue.

"Where are the keys in the dormitory?"

"It's so late, you still want to go out?"

"How about I let Xiao Xie take you there?"

Xiao Xie is the driver of the van, and he is the one who usually drives the van in the crew.

Zhu Lin hesitated for a moment, but considering that riding a bicycle at night was indeed not very safe, she felt it was safer to take a car.

"Then I'll go call him."

"Sister, how about I accompany you? I'm worried about you being alone at night!"

Gong Xue took the initiative to speak again at this time.

Zhu Lin glanced at her and nodded, "Okay, you can help me keep watch by my side."

"I have to call your brother-in-law."

Anyway, Gong Xue also knew some things about Li Changhe in Hong Kong Island, so it would be okay to ask her to help him guard outside.

After listening to this, Gong Xue nodded, thinking about something at the same time.

It turned out that Sister Linlin wanted to call her brother-in-law.

Then the two men hurried out.
