Quick Transmigration: Don't Let That Cannon Fodder Go

Chapter 290 A Big Shot Acting Like a Big Shot 37

The controversy surrounding Song Xianyin in Country A has never ceased.

Since Song Xianyin debuted, she has never had any positive trending topics.

This is also why Chen Zemin dared to speak sarcastically to Song Xianyin.

Because in his eyes, no matter how popular Song Xianyin is abroad, she will always be the most hated one by the audience in China.

For the film and television industry today, audience appeal is the most important thing.

Song Xianyin didn't go straight back to record a variety show; she recently had a film nominated and was going to attend a film festival.

Although people from country A have always said they don't care about international awards, as long as the people of country A are happy, that's enough.

However, there are actually some people who are secretly watching the Veritas Awards, and every time the shortlist is announced, they will launch an attack online.

Who will win Best Actor and Best Actress at this year's Veritas Awards?

[It's those same people from country D again, definitely not from country A. They're all wary of us, with so many excellent actors like us.]

[The person upstairs probably doesn't even watch movies, right? What do you mean they're wary of people from Country A? Isn't Song Xianyin from Country A? She's taken it several times already.]

What the heck? Song Xianyin has won this award several times already? Really? If Song Xianyin can win an award, then this award doesn't seem very prestigious.

[Then find an actor in Country A's film history with a more impressive track record than Song Xianyin? Whether male or female, none of them can compare.]

It feels like these people are obsessed with bashing Song Xianyin. Those who truly love movies must be having a very difficult time in Country A.

Song Xianyin has indeed won several times, but because she hasn't made any movies in Country A in recent years, domestic filmmakers generally assume that she has nothing to do with films from Country A.

However, Song Xianyin filmed a variety show in Country A this year, and her popularity is higher than in previous years.

Previously, people mainly focused on her scandals, but this year they've started paying attention to her performances in movies.

Filmmakers on various forums are speculating which film will be nominated for Best Film this year.

They wanted Song Xianyin to win the award, but they weren't quite sure.

Because Song Xianyin's film was not shot in the language of country A. Although it tells a story of country A, it was shot in the language of country D, so it cannot be considered a completely country A film.

But if Song Xianyin wins an award, they can still brag about it—at least Song Xianyin is from country A.

But if they were to actually win an award, few of the actors in the film would be from country A, and even the director wouldn't be from country A, which would actually be a very awkward situation for them.

[Seriously, why is everyone so excited about this lousy award this year? I don't think any of the nominated films are any good. Can't we pay more attention to our domestic films? This is such a blatant foreign worship.]

[Exactly! You feel so proud and honored just because Song Xianyin is in it? But have you ever considered that Song Xianyin has ever said she's from country A? She never mentions her nationality when she wins awards. Do you really want to like an actress like that?]

Why do you all have to care so much about what others think? Can't we just focus on making our own films? Those are standards imposed on us by other countries, and we don't accept them. We have our own set of standards.

[Just wondering, what exactly is Song Xianyin's place in film history?]

[I'm not a fan of Song Xianyin, just a movie enthusiast. To answer the question above, Song Xianyin is the most accomplished star in the history of film in Country A. She's still young, so it's not fair to say she's the most accomplished yet, but at her age, winning so many awards and maintaining such a diverse style is almost unheard of.]

[Everyone abroad knows about her, isn't it all because of Country A's fame? If it weren't for Country A, would Song Xianyin have such a big reputation?]

Although these people always say they don't care, as time goes on, the discussion about the film festival is becoming more and more heated.

In fact, Country A sends many films to the international community every year, but very few of them actually win awards.

They finally got an award-winning film, but it turned out it wasn't made in Country A. How could they not be angry?

Staff from the Film Association of Country A also came looking for Song Xianyin.

Song Xianyin completely ignored them; she felt an intense revulsion towards this group of people.

She will never forget that day in their so-called leader's office, when that group of people ignored her and gave her the cold shoulder.

Song Xianyin stood in the middle, as countless reporters asked her questions about the film festival.

Suddenly, a girl in a uniform held a microphone and shouted to the people around her, "Everyone, please don't push. I'm from the Film Association. Let me ask first."

As soon as she said that, the other reporters immediately made way. The girl handed the microphone to Song Xianyin.

"Song Xianyin, I heard that you haven't mentioned your nationality when you've won awards in the past. Is there any concern about that?"

Song Xianyin ignored her and walked forward. Other reporters kept pushing and shoving, and the bodyguards tried to stop them, but they couldn't.

Seeing that the film association reporter had been given the cold shoulder, the other reporters exchanged silent glances and then rushed towards Song Xianyin again.

This was the first time a reporter from the Film Association had received such treatment.

Which celebrity wouldn't treat her with utmost respect? After all, she represents the official authorities, which infuriated the reporter.

Who does Song Xianyin think she is? She won an international award, and she hasn't even won it yet, and she's already putting on airs. No matter how capable she is, she can't possibly not want the market in Country A.

"Song Xianyin refuses interview with the official film association of country A" - this trending topic immediately rose to the top of the list.

In the video, Song Xianyin raises her chin, looking arrogant and disdainful of everyone else.

The film association reporter patiently asked questions, but showed an embarrassed expression after not receiving a response.

This comparison immediately ignited netizens' anger, stirring up nationalistic sentiments and a sense of self-esteem.

I think some people are really shameless; they'd love to slap on these kinds of awards. It's really embarrassing.

Is it really necessary to care so much? We've never participated in those awards, so why do we need recognition from other countries? Country A's films have their own market.

[Who can teach Song Xianyin a lesson? She even dares to give official reporters attitude, what makes her so special? She's not even that famous, is she?]

The film's official association immediately stood up for the reporter, posting several sarcastic Weibo posts, along with interview videos of Song Xianyin's opponents, and sending their sincerest blessings.

At midnight, the official Weibo account of the Film Official Association posted a message:

"The film industry in Country A does not welcome actors who are not humble."

This Weibo post immediately went viral across the internet.

Netizens flooded the comments section with sarcastic remarks about Song Xianyin.

[Song Xianyin really thinks she's something special? Without official support, let's see how she acts in movies in the future!]
