Chapter 147 Lin Yicheng really showed his fangs
"I'd like to ask Director Lin, do you think your new film will win any prizes at the Hundred Flowers Awards next year?"

After the female reporter finished asking the question, the corners of her mouth turned up, her expression slightly smug, and there was a hint of provocation in the look she gave Lin Yicheng.

This sentence may sound ordinary at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that it is asked very cleverly and is full of wit.

If she simply asked Lin Yicheng about his views on the Hundred Flowers Awards, Lin Yicheng would definitely play Tai Chi and brush it off, saying something like "topics not related to movies will not be answered", and the opportunity to ask the question would be wasted.

But she changed the way she asked the question and asked whether "How Are Bad Movies Made" could win an award, which directly blocked all of Lin Yicheng's escape routes and eliminated various possibilities.

This question is actually related to this movie, right?
You can't be so careless this time, can you?
……

If Lin Yicheng answers with confidence, it naturally means that Lin Yicheng will still apply for the Hundred Flowers Awards next year.

Last year's Hundred Flowers Awards already slapped Lin Yicheng in the face, and he is still trying to get in on the act this time. How shameless he is, he is simply spitting in his own face.

By then, how will people inside and outside the circle view Lin Yicheng?
Would you think that he is spineless and cowardly, who only acts bully those who are less powerful than him in the circle, but has to bow his head and be humble when he meets those real tough guys?
In this way, as long as these reporters reported it like that, the "invincible" image and tough stance that Lin Yicheng had initially established would not collapse completely, but would inevitably shatter his halo.

By then, will anyone feel that they have seen through Lin Yicheng's true nature, that he is just a coward with a strong appearance, and that he is nothing special?
So, do they have a chance to do something to him? For example, attack him in groups?
Even a real tiger cannot defeat a pack of wolves, let alone you, a paper tiger?
Not only that, there are also the audiences and netizens who have always supported Lin Yicheng.

If they knew that the person they like and support is such a coward, would they be greatly disappointed?
We helped you to denounce the Hundred Flowers Awards online and spoke out for your injustice, but you voted for it right away!

Isn't this the same as "Why did Your Majesty surrender first?"

At that time, will these people turn disappointment into anger, feel that all their enthusiasm has been wasted, and thus turn from fans of Lin Yicheng to passers-by, or even fans to haters?

……

But what if Lin Yicheng answers that he has no confidence?
That would be great!

The Hundred Flowers Awards are "audience votes." When you say you have no confidence, do you mean you have no confidence in the quality of your new film? Do you think it will not be well received by the audience after it is released?
The battle hasn't even started yet, but the commander of the army has already become cowardly. How can he lead this team? How can he shoot this movie?
By then, once public opinion turns pessimistic, the movie will be cast in a heavy shadow!

But what if Lin Yicheng takes a middle approach?

What? You said you are confident about the quality, but not about winning the award?

The Hundred Flowers Awards are selected by "audience voting". When you say this, are you implying something?
Do you have any opinions about the Hundred Flowers Awards? Do you think there is something wrong with their selection process or that there is something fishy going on?

……

Most of the reporters in the audience were smart people. They quickly figured out the various connections and possibilities, and looked at the female reporter from the Beijing News with admiration.

Or maybe the Beijing News can rise to prominence? Look at the level of their reporters, they are extraordinary.

The people in the audience are smart, and the people on the stage are not stupid either.

Fan Xiaopang, Huang Bo and others turned to look at Lin Yicheng with worry on their faces.

Especially Fat Fan, he stretched out his hand under the table, placed it on Lin Yicheng's thigh, and stroked it gently, as if he wanted to give him some support and comfort?

Lin Yicheng smiled.

Over the years, as his status and fame grew, the reporters or hosts who interviewed him were all very polite to him, even a little timid, and he had absolutely no style of striking out at others.

Although Lin Yicheng was very happy about this, he felt that this was the influence of his status and position, and it could save him a lot of trouble.

But in my heart, I still feel a little regretful. You have to stand up and be sharp!

In this way, I will have the opportunity to show my ability. Otherwise, the Versailles speeches I learned from those big guys would be useless and would be learned in vain.

Being harmonious is good, but it always lacks something. It is far less interesting and exciting than tit-for-tat and back-and-forth.

This mentality sounds strange, but if you think about it, it's not strange at all.

People are always like this.

……

Lin Yicheng patted Fan Xiaopang's hand gently, telling her not to worry, then picked up the microphone with his other hand and started speaking.

"A reporter from the Beijing News, right? I'm quite familiar with your newspaper and I take a look at it sometimes. Many of the articles are well written." Lin Yicheng said as he prepared his next words.

"Director Lin, please answer my question directly."

The female reporter thought Lin Yicheng was avoiding the main point and interrupted him directly.

Don’t try to get close to me, don’t try this, I won’t listen and I won’t eat it!
"Okay, since you want to know the answer, I will tell you in front of all the media friends today. Don't ask me this kind of question in the future."

Lin Yicheng straightened his mind and continued, "First of all, I personally have no objection to the Hundred Flowers Awards. After all, it is one of the most prestigious film awards in the country."

The female reporter from the Beijing News wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Lin Yicheng waving his hand.

"Please listen to me and don't interrupt me casually, it's very rude." "I can tell you very clearly here that this new movie will not be submitted for the Hundred Flowers Awards next year. Starting from this movie, for a period of time, all my future movies will not be submitted for the Hundred Flowers Awards."

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

What does Lin Yicheng mean by this? Is he breaking up with the Hundred Flowers Awards? Are they parting ways?
This is big news!
In the next few days, I won’t have to worry about having no topics to write about!
The lobby was in chaos again, and it was only after Zhou Chenggong shouted to stop the chaos that peace was restored.

……

After Lin Yicheng waited for the situation to calm down, he continued:
"I hope you can report what I just said and what I am going to say next truthfully and not distort my meaning. There is a video in the lobby. If I find that someone has distorted or slandered my words, I will use appropriate means to protect my rights."

Hearing this, the reporters were all horrified.

They can even exaggerate and write in a exaggerated way about others, and they are not even afraid of being sent a lawyer's letter or something like that, because they know those people are just bluffing.

The one in front of me is different. He is a ruthless guy. Dong Yang Qingyu’s body is not dry yet!

He said he would defend rights, and he really did! He would send people to jail at the same time!

"I feel that I am still young and need more learning and accumulation. I do not yet have the ability to compete with my predecessors. Therefore, apart from the Hundred Flowers Awards, I plan to start with this new film and not pursue any awards for a period of time. Of course, the previous "Man Jiang Hong" is not included in the list."

Lin Yicheng specifically pointed out the last sentence, because there will be a reformed Huabiao Award this year, and this time, he really can't not go, he has to go.

Of course, it’s enough to go just this once, and I’ve already found an excuse for not going next time.

"In the future, I will focus all my energy on telling good stories, making good movies, and giving back to the audience."

"I will work hard to cultivate my inner strength and improve myself. When I feel I am capable enough, I will participate in the pursuit of various awards."

“Please pay more attention to my work and supervise me to see if I am what I say I am.”

……

Lin Yicheng's words were very tactful and gave the Hundred Flowers Awards enough face. It's not that you are not good enough, it's that I have high standards for myself.

Therefore, I will not apply for it in the future, so as to avoid being laughed at due to my lack of ability and limited level.

It's not just the Hundred Flowers Award, I won't apply for other awards in the future. This is not targeting the Hundred Flowers Award, I treat everyone equally.

When I feel I am capable, I will naturally participate in the Hundred Flowers Awards and seek your recognition.

How long will it be? When exactly?
It’s really hard to say. Maybe it will be three to five years, or maybe it will be ten to twenty years. Who can say for sure?
In short, I will continue to work towards this goal and strive to reach my own standards as soon as possible!

Although Lin Yicheng spoke tactfully, the reporters were not stupid and they all understood what he meant.

From then on, Lin Yicheng really stopped participating in the Hundred Flowers Awards.

This is probably the first time in history that someone has said this in public.

As expected, it’s Director Lin!
Set a record in every aspect!

Even though they couldn't polish Lin Yicheng's words, it was enough. Today's harvest was quite satisfactory!

After the climax, it is sage time, this is the truth.

……

The reporters seemed to have lost their energy and desire, and the questions they asked later were somewhat indifferent.

Several leading actors also followed Lin Yicheng's lead, saying that the chaos was only a small part and that most people in the industry were working hard on their works.

They also hope to make this movie well, promote positive energy and convey a positive attitude.

This press conference felt a bit anticlimactic, with the best parts in the first half.

When the press conference was about to end, Zhou Chenggong called over several staff members from Galaxy Film and Television Company and distributed travel expenses to the reporters present one by one.

A few people were quite anxious and opened the envelope on the spot to take a look, then smiled with satisfaction. At the same time, they secretly praised Director Lin for being generous and open-minded!

Why are these reporters so polite to Lin Yicheng?
On the one hand, his status was high enough; another reason was the travel expenses and writing fees.

The amount he offered was basically the highest in the circle, almost twice the average.

Reporters interviewed him, which brought him popularity, sales, bonuses, and a considerable amount of extra income.

What is this if not the God of Wealth?
Who would offend the God of Wealth? Everyone must serve him carefully.
