Le Jing originally thought that An Yun was interested in the literary and artistic films shot by the original owner, but he did not expect that An Yun was referring to "The Young Marquis of Fenglangjuxu" which Le Jing submitted to Qijiang Video Network.

An Yun: "Now the country is vigorously calling for the revitalization of traditional culture. Your "Young Hou" is a rare theme of ancient earth culture. It follows the trend and conforms to the theme of the times. It has a greater chance of winning the award."

Although An Yun said so, Le Jing really didn't think he could win the award. Even with An Yun around, it would be a difficult and almost impossible task for a new director like him to stand out from thousands of movies and win an award.

In the interstellar era when China has become the most powerful country in the Earth Alliance, the Starry Sky Award enjoys a high reputation not only in China but also in the world. In terms of status and influence, it is similar to the Cannes Film Festival, one of the four major film festivals in the world in the 21st century.

There are two ways to participate in the Starry Sky Award, namely, self-registration and recommendation. What An Yun just said about recommending Le Jing's work for the award refers to the latter registration method.

Although in theory, every filmmaker who participates in the competition has a fair chance, as the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Every year, there are at least 8,000 films registered, but the number of judges is limited. For films directed by unknown directors, judges usually only watch the beginning and the end, and many of them are just hastily scanned. But if a film is recommended by a judge, it will be different. For such a film with a person behind it, the organizing committee will undoubtedly pay more attention to it, and at least watch the film carefully.

However, An Yun's recommendation only ensures that Le Jing's film will be taken seriously by the judges. In the end, whether the film can win an award and what award it wins depends on strength, connections and luck, and sometimes political factors must also be considered.

However, An Yun's recommendation can at least make him familiar to the organizing committee, paving the way for him to win awards in the future.

An Yun still felt a little regretful. "In fact, the art films you shot before were quite good, and they also suited the tastes of many old guys. It's a pity that you shot those films too early and don't meet the requirements of the Starry Sky Award."

Le Jing paused slightly, and then searched through the original owner's memory before he understood what was going on.

When I was on Earth, the four major film festivals in the world had a hard requirement for registration: the film must have not been released yet. In the interstellar era, the Star Awards slightly relaxed the criteria, changing it to allow any work that has not been shown in theaters to participate. In other words, the author can upload the film to the Internet, but only works that have been shown for no more than three months.

The original owner's previous work has exceeded the time limit, so he cannot participate in the competition.

Le Jing felt a little sorry for the original owner.

In his opinion, the original owner was a very talented young man, but he was just unlucky and didn't think straight, so he committed suicide. If he had chosen to grit his teeth and persevere, he might not have been able to wait until the day when things turned out well.

Although he cannot participate in the award, when he becomes famous in the future, he can allow the original owner's work to be released back into theaters and played in cinemas so that more people can appreciate the original owner's posthumous work.

After hanging up the phone, Le Jing finally remembered that "Young Hou" was currently holding open auditions on Qijiang Video Network. He remembered the deadline... It seemed to be this Sunday?

Only the top 100 in the vote can enter the final jury review stage. He took a look last week and it seemed that he was ranked ninth at that time, just ahead of Liu Yinxiu who was ranked tenth.

Since he was sure to advance, he didn't care about it and focused on catching up with the crew's filming schedule.

I don't know what position he ranks now.

Le Jing opened the voting page, and then he was surprised to find that his work had now risen to second place.

The first place was a big V with millions of fans on Xingbo. Now he has 200,000 or 300,000 more votes than him, so it is impossible to catch up. But despite this, Le Jing was still shocked by the fighting power of his fans.

He only has about one million fans on his Starbucks, but the number of votes is 1.5 million. His fans must be very hardworking to cast so many votes.

Le Jing thought about it and sent another Xingbo message to express his gratitude.

[Old Scenery: I went up the river during a break in filming and found that the vote for "Young Marquis of Fenglangjuxu" has risen to second place. Thank you all for your support. Please also pay attention to "Republic of China Literary Masters" which will be updated at 8 pm this Saturday~]

As soon as Le Jing refreshed his page, dozens of comments appeared under Xingbo, but the content of these comments made Le Jing laugh and cry.

[Han Xue: I know that only "Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China" is written by Feng Jing himself, and "Young Marquis" should be given as a gift when you top up your phone bill.]

[Yunpiangao: Sir, that’s enough. Stop marketing “Chronicles of the Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China” in the name of “Young Marquis of Fenglangjuxu”←_←]

[Big Red Braised Pork: Big Boss, please promote your own "Young Marquis of Fenglangjuxu"! Look, how many trending searches has "Republic of China Literary Masters' Chronicles" been on? You can't be partial, ah ah ah ah qwq]

[I feel so sad after climbing the mountain: I am a new fan of "Young Marquis". Did Huo Qubing really die? He was so young, so he must have faked his death, right? I guess he must have fallen in love with a girl, and he faked his death to escape, and traveled around the world with the girl! ]

Such a love-brained comment successfully made Le Jing laugh, and reminded him of the plot of a romance novel on Earth, in which Huo Qubing faked his death and escaped, and lived a happy life with the heroine. At the same time, the novel also glorified the invasion of the Huns, which was criticized by netizens. The TV series that was later remade had to be changed to a fictional one because of the historical nihilism of the original work.

So he responded to this comment seriously: [Huo Qubing's heart was too big. He could put down his iron cavalry and the frozen river, but he could not tolerate the love between his children. For an invincible young god of war, letting his horse go to the south mountain was more painful than death. So when the world was peaceful and there was no war to fight, he would be depressed and die. If he were alive, he would definitely be on the battlefield, not at the end of the world. ]

Le Jing's rest time is very short. This is the rare leisure time he can squeeze out. After replying to this comment, he turned off his computer and continued to devote himself to the intense work of video editing.

Because of the tight schedule, their crew could only shoot and edit at the same time. They filmed during the day and worked overtime to edit the video at night. Everyone was busy and Le Jing hadn't slept for more than five hours in a long time.

Time flies, and it's Saturday in the blink of an eye.

"Brother Jing!" Zhang Ting excitedly pushed open the door of the lounge and shouted, "Guess how much money our TV series has raised now?"

Zhang Ting plays Li Jingran, a man who only lives in memories, so he doesn't have many roles in the TV series. Most of the time he just stands by and watches the veteran actors perform.

Seeing that he was free, Le Jing simply handed over the crew's official Weibo to him. Zhang Ting was also in charge of the crowdfunding of the film.

Seeing the child's overjoyed look, Le Jing teased him, "One million?"

Zhang Ting choked and replied angrily, "Five hundred thousand."

Le Jing sneered: "It's not even one million yet."

Zhang Ting rolled her eyes: "Your crowdfunding has only been online for two or three days. It's already very good to have 500,000, okay!"

Le Jing smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. When we raise one million, I'll give you a raise."

Zhang Ting opened her eyes wide in surprise, looking like a money-grubber: "Is this true? Don't regret it!"

Le Jing smiled and said, "I won't regret it. I guess your salary will increase several times in the future."

Zhang Ting rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "It seems that you are very confident in our play."

The young man crossed his arms and responded calmly and domineeringly: "Of course I have confidence in the TV series I filmed."

Zhang Ting was beaming with joy: "That's fine, I'll just wait to become a big star overnight."

Le Jing thought of the important matter and said, "Hold a lottery tonight and pick 20 people to visit our crew."

"By the way, please notify the post-production team to remember to add this week's thank you list to the end credits."

Zhang Ting smiled happily: "Don't worry, leave it to me." He chuckled and couldn't help showing off: "Brother Jing, I also have a fan club now! On Xingbo, I already have more than 200,000 fans!"

Le Jing said calmly: "I have one million fans now. Do you see how proud I am?"

Zhang Ting choked, "This is different." The child raised his head proudly, and said with a cock-like arrogance, "Just wait and see, I will definitely have more fans than you in the future."

Le Jing shook his head. After all, he was still a child, weak and fragile. He would feel proud of himself just by achieving a little success.

He couldn't help but remind her: "Don't post too much on Xingbo. When you have money in the future, hire a professional team to help you manage Xingbo."

Zhang Ting was not happy, "Why? I really like interacting with fans, they are all so cute!"

Le Jing: "When you become famous in the future, these are all your dark history and ironclad evidence for others to attack you."

Zhang Ting didn't believe it: "What can I attack? I have never done anything wrong and I have always been an upright person. That's why they can't find any evidence against me."

Le Jing thought about it and said something a little more clearly, "Isn't your background something you can use to write an article?"

Zhang Ting's face turned pale.

The young man leaned back in his chair tiredly, his eyes slightly closed, and he pinched the bridge of his nose. "It's not just Sister Zhang. Many of the veteran actors in our crew have had a lot of scandals in the past. There are too many people making a fuss about them. These are all time bombs. As our drama becomes more and more popular, these things will be exposed sooner or later. Then our crew will have a lot of fun."

The smug look on Zhang Ting's face was no longer visible.

He looked at Le Jing in panic, as if grasping at the last straw, and asked for help: "What should I do? Brother Jing, you must have a way, right?"

The young man's answer was a thoughtful silence.

…

Bai Lang swiped the screen excitedly, staring at the negative information that Sister Sun had collected with great difficulty, his face flushed with excitement.

He used to think that Shi Jing was a scheming guy, but now he thinks he is an idiot!

If he was smart, he would not have hired these actors with a bad past to act in his movies.

Look at what kind of people these are. Gamblers, sex addicts, alcoholics, cheaters, and even whores. Shi Jing must be crazy to choose these people to film a movie.

Previously, Bai Lang really thought that "Records of Great Writers of the Republic of China" would be a dark horse, but now...

hehe.

As long as these scandals are released, the more popular the show is now, the more people will hate it afterwards. And because of the actors' scandals, the show may even be banned by the authorities due to its bad social impact.
