After meeting with the military representatives and finalizing the plot outline for the upcoming filming, Tao Mu returned to Feixun.com and immediately sent people to contact the online authors who were particularly good at writing military novels. First, purchase the original copyrights of these military dramas that became popular in later generations.

After producing two phenomenal classic works, "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood" and "Fashion Storm", which were both highly praised in terms of reputation and ratings, Feixun.com now has a particularly good reputation in the field of TV drama production. In addition, at that time, the craze of purchasing the copyright of online novels and adapting them into film and television dramas had not yet emerged. As soon as the people who went to negotiate the copyright came into contact with the military authors, the other party readily expressed their willingness to sign a contract. The copyright purchase went particularly smoothly.

Afterwards, Tao Mu began to build a screenwriter team. Because we are cooperating with the military to shoot a conscription propaganda drama, we have to do our best to ensure both ratings and word of mouth. When Tao Mu was writing the outline, he focused on the two issues of cool writing routine and strict consideration. In order to enhance the audience's sense of involvement, Tao Mu plans to let the entire screenwriter team enter the military camp to experience it for a period of time and collect some information by the way. Then write the script based on this information. It would be best if you could get guidance from professionals during the script writing process.

In addition, Tao Mu also wanted all the actors to enter the military camp for three months of experience. We don't expect the actors to become qualified soldiers after training, but at least the main actors have to show off all kinds of fighting skills and action essentials. Just standing there and posing makes people know at first glance that he is a soldier.

Tao Mu's proposal was also recognized by the military representatives. In fact, people in the military are also worried about the quality of this drama. Although there was the precedent of "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood", the military still had confidence in Tao Mu's production ability. However, the military recruitment propaganda drama they are going to shoot is somewhat different from the main audience of the drama "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood". The age range of the main actors is obviously much younger than the veteran actors in "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood". Military representatives were also worried that young actors graduating from art schools would not be able to portray the demeanor of a soldier. Now Tao Mu took the initiative to propose that all actors should join the army for three months of experience, at least to ensure that the performance of these actors will not be too out of line in detail.

Soon, the news that Tao Mu was going to cooperate with the military to shoot a recruitment propaganda drama spread in the industry. At the same time, news also spread about the nominations for various Lingxiao Awards. Among the nominations that have attracted the most attention, apart from the Best TV Series, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actress, is the Best Newcomer Award that was just announced this year.

The official explanation of the Lingxiao Award for the Best Newcomer Award is to encourage more young actors to focus more on the work itself rather than malicious hype. However, more netizens still focused their attention on the nominees for the Best Newcomer Award.

——Except for Tao Mu, who was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award for a minor supporting role with less than three episodes, the other four nominees were nominated for starring or supporting roles in mainstream TV dramas.

The Lingxiao Award is a TV drama award sponsored by Optoelectronics and has always represented the official attitude. Therefore, when it comes to work recommendation and award selection, we will be more inclined to main-theme TV dramas with profound content. In addition to professional skills, directors and actors who are shortlisted for the Lingxiao Award must also have a good image and reputation, and have no negative news exposure during the selection period, among other additional requirements.

For many idol stars in the circle, they may not be nominated for the Lingxiao Award even if they act in TV dramas for their entire lives. However, once you are recognized by the Lingxiao Award, you have also gained official recognition to a certain extent. It will be easy to get the favor of some big directors and get in touch with some big productions organized by the government, which will also be of great help to your future acting career.

So when the news that Tao Mu was shortlisted for the Ling Xiao Award for Best Newcomer spread, Tao Mu's fans were immediately happy. They celebrate with great joy that their idol has finally gained recognition from mainstream industry figures, and will surely have a bright future. Of course, there are still many Tao Mu haters spreading conspiracy theories online, believing that Tao Mu definitely used capital to influence the selection process of the Lingxiao Award. That’s why the Lingxiao Awards suddenly came up with a Best Newcomer Award. And looking at the popularity and ratings of the other four nominees, it is clear that none of them are as high as Tao Mu and "The Great Wall of Flesh and Blood".

So the matter is clear. Tao Mu must have bribed the judging committee and organizers of the Lingxiao Awards, so the Lingxiao Awards suddenly launched a Best Newcomer Award just to help Tao Mu get promoted.

A large group of Tao Muhei were typing away on their keyboards online, sighing and clamoring that if you have money you can do whatever you want. Even a "government award" like the Lingxiao Award cannot withstand the corrosion of capital. They spoke with such certainty, as if they had witnessed Tao Mu's money-for-power transaction with Ling Xiaojiang.

Tao Mu's fans certainly cannot tolerate these black fans slandering Tao Mu like this. They all stood up to fight against the haters. Tao Mu has a huge fan base, and the combat effectiveness of Tao Mu's haters is off the charts. Coupled with the various netizens who are taking advantage of the situation to watch the show, the conspiracy theory of Tao Mu and Ling Xiao trading bonuses for power was immediately topped the hot search. Even some print media started to follow suit and report on the incident.

Rumors are rampant. Feixun.com’s response was to continue sending lawyers’ letters in batches. The other party involved in the incident, the General Administration of Optoelectronics, the organizer of the Lingxiao Award, certainly could not allow these rumors to spread. So he came out to refute the rumors. He also expressed the intention to hold certain netizens who spoke recklessly accountable for their actions. Many haters who were not afraid of the condemnation from the State Administration of Optoelectronics, but were afraid of receiving lawyers' letters and even more afraid of losing money, quickly apologized and deleted the post.

However, in an online war, as soon as you leave a message, someone will immediately take a screenshot. Tao Mu's fans continued to post screenshots and look at the black fans even after they deleted the posts. A battle between pinks and haters was a hot topic. What surprised the "Lingxiao Award" was that the Lingxiao Awards ceremony, which had never been paid much attention by anyone except people in the industry, actually gained more popularity because of this battle between fans and haters. Some people even took the initiative to send private messages to the official account of the Lingxiao Award online, asking about the specific time of the award ceremony. In addition, there are sponsors who actually took the initiative to send private messages to the organizer to inquire about the specific details of the sponsorship fees. This situation has brought sweet rewards to the organizers of the Lingxiao Awards, who have rarely hyped up the event. He actually took the initiative to contact Feixun.com to inquire about the specific plan and price of promotional marketing.

Tao Mu: "..."

Tao Mu couldn't help laughing and told the publicity department of Feixun.com to make a good plan for the Lingxiao Award. As for the specific price, we will give you 20% off.

When he returned home that night, Tao Mu told Li Xiaoheng about this incident as a topic of conversation. Li Xiaoheng didn't really care about the marketing plan of the Lingxiao Awards organizers. He was actually more curious about another thing: "If you go to the awards ceremony, you should order a suit, right? The suits that celebrities wear when walking on the red carpet? Do you also need to invite a female companion for the red carpet?"

Tao Mu nodded in a daze: "Yes!"

Li Xiaoheng asked calmly, "Where are you going to order your dress? Who are you going to invite to be your red carpet companion?"
