Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

(There was a time setting error in one of the chapters yesterday, so it didn't go through. I've already corrected it. My eyesight is failing me, *sigh*)

The recent episode of "Superpowered Individuals" became a huge hit for three main reasons: first, its high quality; second, its appeal to nostalgia; and third, the presence of a group of big-name celebrities.

[While we've known each other for almost ten years, our film and television duo has known each other for nearly twenty!]

This episode of "Superpowered Individuals" is absolutely star-studded! It features Zhang Yang'en, a junior TV drama queen; Chi Ziyou, a TV drama king; He Weiran and Shen Hanyi, both award-winning actresses; Jiangxi Heng and Nie Mingzhu, both award-winning actors; Xie Xingyan, a singing king; Zhou Lehui, a junior singing king; Qin Yushan, who finally broke free from Lingxi and joined Huanyu; Kong Sui, who became a rap god; Xu Yanqing and Fang Weiyang, guests from a slow-paced variety show; and even Manager Ling off-camera!

The names mentioned in the comments section have all become top-tier or super-top-tier artists and top agents in the industry over the years.

Someone suddenly discovered:

[Isn't this the whole global family and the former BeiDou team? It's such a pity that Captain Gu isn't here.]

What exactly happened between Captain Gu and Manager Ling? Why is it that even after he took down Dong Ze and left the Tomato platform to start his own studio, he still won't speak to Manager Ling?

[A grand reunion of the cosmos, a friendship forged through countless trials, even Zhou Le, with whom I had a falling out with my former employer, is back. Only Captain Gu is still wandering abroad. I hate Dong the scoundrel!!!]

Some say that if it weren't for Dong Siming, Gu Zhoubai might have joined Huanyu one day, just like Qin Yushan, even if he arrived later.

Because their old friends are all here.

【Huh? Even without me, Gu Zhoubai, he wouldn't have joined Huanyu. Do you know why? Because there are people in Huanyu he's afraid to face.】

The struggle between Dong Siming and Gu Zhoubai ended with the former going to jail. However, this cunning old man, even facing several years in prison, had already made preparations to do something disgusting one last time.

He paid money to have his account used by online trolls to release "evidence" at crucial moments.

[What? Isn't this Dong Zhuo's account? He's back?]

[He probably sold the account, but didn't change the information. What does he mean by that? Who is Gu Zhoubai afraid to face?]

What?! Ling Wushuang likes Gu Zhoubai?!

The movie "March Rain in the Early Years" has been released.

During the Qixi Festival summer holiday season, among the films specifically marked "Not suitable for minors" and "Adults should watch at their discretion," "The Early Years of the Republic of China: March Rain" ranked first.

Wang Hui actually edited two versions of the content.

The first version still has all the intimate scenes, and the emotional impact of the film is fully displayed. This version will be submitted for review and then released in the international film market.

The second version is the one released in China. Although more and more directors have made the same film in recent years, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of China still imposes great restrictions on it, for fear of affecting minors whose minds have not yet fully developed.

Therefore, this version is very subtle in its portrayal of emotions, with intimate scenes removed and even the scene of "Lu Yuan" unexpectedly confessing his feelings missing. People without sensitivity might actually be moved by the brotherly bond between the two protagonists in the chaotic world, who go from fighting each other to falling in love.

For movies like these that are released simultaneously in China and abroad, the final box office is calculated based on the international total, just like movies like "Mock Trial," "Double Blade," and "Unforgivable Sin" from a couple of years ago.

"How much? Four hundred billion? That must break the world record for art-house film box office, right?" The person who compiled the data sent the results to the group chat.

"That's right. I remember that, as of now, the highest-grossing art film internationally is the Japanese film 'I Don't Know Her Name' from ten years ago, which grossed 38 billion yen."

Jiangxi Heng is now quite familiar with the world's excellent film and television works. He watches a movie or an episode of TV every night before going to bed. He divides his time into several parts, "so 'March Rain in the Early Republic' broke records."

People involved in the film project expressed their joy in the group chat using various emojis.

Wang Hui sent a voice message saying, "Everyone, perk up! So what if the box office broke records? Don't you remember west Heng's first three films? Each one grossed 70 or 80 billion internationally! And there are still awards to compete for!"

Someone said, "Director, Heng-ge's film is a commercial film, how can you put it together like that?"

Wang Hui is strict with herself: "I think the pacing of my editing also has some characteristics of commercial films."

Jiangxi Heng stepped in to smooth things over: "Director Wang, the biggest difference between art films and commercial films lies in their content. As for the awards you mentioned, the domestic authorities probably won't agree to submit this film for the Golden Peony and Silver Camellia Awards."

"I know that the only award reserved for art films of this genre is the Bronze Begonia. As for international awards, I plan to compete for the Venice Film Festival award. This award is not limited by genre and is more friendly to Chinese people. I remember that among your international awards, Xiheng, the only one you're missing is the Venice Best Actor award?"

Jiangxi Heng was stunned.

When he first went abroad, his first film, "Mock Trial," was vying for the Venice Film Festival awards. The award was given to the Best Film, and his Best Actor award was just a nomination.

"Yes, this award is the only one we're missing."

Just one more to complete the World Grand Slam.

Jiangxi Heng could hardly remember his past life when he achieved the Grand Slam of world film and television awards step by step on his own. He was basically numb with a hint of bitterness. Occasionally, he would feel joy, but after the joy came a huge sense of confusion and emptiness. In order to resist this emptiness, he kept on his way and never stopped to rest properly.

When the dates for the Venice Film Festival were announced, Ling Wushuang said, "This time, I can't possibly be the one to accept this award again, can I?"

Jiangxi Heng looked at the award ceremony scheduled for August, which basically overlapped with the domestic Bronze Begonia Award.

"No need, I'll go with the director, you go with Ayan to Tonghaitang."

With the two awards coinciding and both requiring simultaneous applications, Wang Hui was torn but ultimately decided to go abroad. Domestic awards are mainly competition among directors within the industry, while the Venice awards are competition among directors from all over the world. It would be good to gain experience and broaden her horizons.

However, she left the assistant director and other staff members of the production team to Xie Xingyan.

Xie Xingyan has no experience winning film awards, so it's understandable that Ling Wushuang has become his agent and accompanied him to the event.

However, some netizens saw Xie and Ling sitting together in suits at the Tong Haitang Awards ceremony.

Suddenly it dawned on me: [666 Ling Wushuang got another lucky break? Is he the reincarnation of a master of finding bargains? He just entered the industry and picked up a minor Best Actor, and after the Best Actor achieved fame and success, he picked up a singer who switched careers to acting. Could he really be the one to create a second Best Actor?]

[Isn't there a rumor that Ling Wushuang is male? Is my idol in danger? (Panic)]

"...But you're an adult, wouldn't he know if there was real danger? Why are you worrying about him?"

[Can you please stop smearing Xing Shuang's enduring friendship? Didn't you hear Xing Bao give her acceptance speech, and Ling Wu Shuang was one of the three people she thanked?]

Holy crap, Xie Xingyan won an award?!
