October and November are the traditional award season in China. In addition to professional and authoritative awards such as the Starry Sky Awards and the Red Peony Awards, there are also other large and small entertainment awards, such as the People's Choice Awards, the Golden Apple Awards, the East Dragon International Film Awards, and other professional, entertainment, or wild awards.

Film critics from all major media outlets have made various analyses of who will win the various awards, with the Starry Sky Award and Red Peony Award being the most hotly debated.

The former is the highest feast of Chinese films, and the latter is the highest feast of Chinese TV dramas. All the film and television works selected are the best of the year.

This year, the dark horse and money-making monster "Chronicles of Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China" has become a topic that many prophets cannot avoid.

When Luo Bao learned that the crew of "Republic of China Literary Masters" had accepted the invitation of the Red Peony Award, he believed that this year's Best TV Series Award and Best Director Award would go to the Republic of China crew.

"Since yesterday, Jiang specially celebrated the 4 billion box office of "Republic of China Literary Masters" on the homepage! It is the highest-grossing TV series selected for the Red Peony Award!" Luo Bao said to Luo Lan with a proud look on his face: "Unless the judges of the Beijing Film Festival are blind, they will definitely let "Republic of China Literary Masters" win the award!"

Roland, a veteran fan girl, is not so optimistic.

She frowned, "It's hard to say. Among the TV series invited to participate in the Beijing Film Festival this time, the crew of "Republic of China Literary Masters" is the least impressive. Not to mention the director, the actors also have a lot of scandals."

Luo Bao frowned and immediately retorted: "This is not about choosing who is the most famous. In the end, it still depends on the quality of the work."

Roland shook his head and sighed: "Naive, too naive."

"You can go online and look in the group to hear what other people are saying."

Luo Baoxian went to the fan group and asked, "Do you think "Records of the Great Writers of the Republic of China" can win the main award of the Red Peony Award? @All members."

[Black Cat Knight: Although I hope to get it, it is obviously impossible╮(╯_╰)╭

Lao Wang next door: Obviously you still don’t understand how the Red Peony Award works. This year’s grand prize has most likely already been decided.

Tianya Zhichi: Alas, "Republic of China" became popular too late, and there was no money for public relations before. Other dramas have already done public relations for the jury several times, and this time we are just runners-up.

Magical Girls Have No Money: Although I like "Republic of China Writers Chronicle", my idol's drama is also participating in the awards this year, so I have mixed feelings. I will just be neutral.

I am lonely on New Year's Eve and typing coldly: To put it bluntly, the show "Republic of China" is popular but the actors are not, so we can forget about winning any acting awards, and the Best Director award is impossible as Director Shi is a newcomer, Director Li is unknown, and the directors of other participating crews this year are all famous first-line directors, so we have no hope.

I also want to watch the New Year’s Eve Gala: So, there is still some hope for the Best TV Series award?

But he didn't have the courage to give up: Hmm... not much hope. This year our crew went there to show off their reputation and experience. If we are nominated a few more times in the future, we will be able to win the award. 】

Luo Bao was stunned. Roland looked at him sideways, "Do you understand now?"

Luo Bao nodded solemnly, "To put it bluntly, this time we are here just to walk the red carpet and run with her."

Roland clapped his hands: "That's it."

Coincidentally, Xie Xun was also not optimistic about the chances of "Chronicles of Great Literary Men of the Republic of China" winning the award.

As a professional film critic for China Film and Television Weekly, Xie Xun is well aware of the twists and turns that occur during the awards season.

To outsiders who are unaware of the truth, the Red Peony Award is the most authoritative award for Chinese TV dramas and represents the highest level of Chinese TV dramas. However, in the eyes of insiders like Xie Xun, there are many tricks in this "most authoritative" award.

After all, China is a society based on personal relationships. There are many actors who have no acting skills but win awards so many times that their hands cramp. The Red Peony Award is no exception.

Since the new millennium, the influence of the Red Peony Award has been less than before. In order to reverse the decline, the Red Peony Award can only compromise with capital. Every year during the awards season, it invites popular first-line traffic stars to walk the red carpet, so each year's awards have become a distribution of pork. This year it was given to the drama with this traffic, and next year it was given to the drama with that traffic.

The Red Peony Organizing Committee does not only select the actors with popular votes. It just means that if the acting skills are similar, the organizing committee will give the award to the actors with popular votes and the crew with popular votes.

Is "Records of Great Writers of the Republic of China" good? Of course it is! But sometimes it is not just because the work is good that it can win an award.

This year's Red Peony Award winners include several strong rivals that cannot be ignored.

"Warm Time" is a powerful combination of the best actor and best actress, and it is also a popular campus youth romance drama with many loyal fans.

"The Dawn of the Sun": Based on the popular novel "Three Hundred Years of Darkness", the male and female protagonists are both emerging first-line stars, and their combined number of fans on Starbucks exceeds 200 million.

"Xinghai Lake": an art film, but the male and female protagonists are both well-known veteran actors in the industry. The male protagonist has been a runner-up for the Red Peony Award three times before and has not won any. Many people in the industry believe that the organizing committee will give him an award this year.

With these three around, "Chronicles of Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China" can only be cannon fodder.

Thinking of this, Xie Xun wanted to sigh.

The main reason is that "Republic of China Literary Masters" lacks entertainment resources. Although the Bai Group has invested in "Republic of China Literary Masters", the Bai Group has always been in the energy industry and has no connections in the entertainment industry!

Just look at these past few days, other crews are eager to make two or three headlines a day, release various press releases on major social media platforms, and the actors are also working hard to promote the film every day. But what about the crew of "Chronicles of Literary Masters of the Republic of China"?

There are trending searches, but as for the rest...

This drama is a typical example of a drama that is popular but the actors are not, and fans love the drama but not the actors. Even the director Shi Jing has more fans on Xingbo than the lead actor Chang Zehai. Moreover, there is no background and no professional capital operation behind him.

"Chronicles of Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China" can only compete for six awards: Best TV Series, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress. In the most optimistic scenario, it may only win the Best TV Series award.

Although he was so pessimistic in his heart, Xie Xun still cheered for "Records of Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China" in his film review.

…

“The Chronicles of the Great Writers of the Republic of China is my biggest surprise and the biggest unexpected event this year.

This is a TV series that has all the disadvantages, but it has become the most popular TV series this summer. It has to be said that this is a miracle!

Without too much marketing, the success of "Records of Great Writers of the Republic of China" seems accidental, but in fact it is inevitable. This proves that good works will never be buried!

The success of "Records of Great Writers of the Republic of China" has undoubtedly inspired more directors and actors - when you make a good work, the audience can see it!"

Tian Hui closed the webpage angrily, with a cold smile on his face. How much money did Xie Xun of "China Film and Television Weekly" get to promote "Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China" so hard?

But no matter how much he brags, "Chronicles of Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China" will never win an award!

He had already received the inside information, and the important award had already been decided. The most that "Chronicles of Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China" could do this time was to pick up some leftovers from others.

When he thought of this, Tian Hui felt much calmer.

So what if the box office is high? If you don’t win any awards, it’s all for nothing!

…

Mo Mingrui was extremely nervous when he was called to the editor-in-chief's office, as he hadn't done anything wrong recently.

"Xiao Mo," the editor-in-chief said, "write a review and give it to me before this Friday."

Mo Mingrui breathed a sigh of relief, then asked, "Comments about what?"

The editor-in-chief said enthusiastically, "I recently watched a mainstream TV series and found it very educational. The TV series, Chronicles of Great Writers of the Republic of China, detailed the construction and exploration of our party's early path, promoted the core socialist values, and was conducive to the popularization of patriotic education for the younger generation. If you haven't watched it, hurry up and watch it. Be sure to give me your review on Friday. If there are no major problems, it will be published on page 02 next Monday."

Mo Mingrui was stunned.

In his mind, all kinds of comments from the Internet and fans quickly emerged: "The Chronicles of the Great Writers of the Republic of China is just a runner-up", "There is no hope of winning this year", "The grand prize has already been decided on for someone"...

What does it matter if you don’t get a prize?

How many TV series can be praised by Renren Daily? What a grand occasion!

Moreover, now that the big boss Renren Daily has gone, it is very likely that its younger brothers such as Purple Pavilion, Guangliang Daily, and China Youth Daily will take over the baton and write articles to express their stance.

I dare to ask which media in China can have a greater influence than the official media? The official media stamped the seal that this TV series is good, and you say it is not, who do you think you are?

"Chronicles of Great Literary Masters of the Republic of China" lost only a Red Peony Award, but what it gained was the red list of official media!

With the endorsement of official media, "Chronicles of Great Writers of the Republic of China" has the best amulet. When compared with other TV dramas, it is a dimensionality reduction attack. Ordinary TV dramas are no match at all.

Mo Mingrui couldn't help but feel happy: "Editor-in-chief, I have read the "Records of the Great Writers of the Republic of China". You don't have to wait until Friday. I actually wrote a related film review a long time ago. Will send it to you later?"

The editor-in-chief was pleasantly surprised: "You are really good, OK, send it to me later. If there is no problem, it may be published this week."

Mo Mingrui immediately ran away happily.

Emma, I am a little excited when I think about promoting my mole on Renren Daily.

…

Le Jing, who is missed by countless people, is now accepting an exclusive interview with a reporter from China Youth Daily.

Female reporter: "Before coming to the interview, I checked online and found that netizens generally believe that "Records of the Republic of China's Literary Masters" is just a runner-up in the Red Peony Awards. What do you think about this? Do you think your crew can win the award?"

Le Jing smiled and was about to answer when the phone rang. He gave an apologetic look and said, "Sorry, I need to answer the phone."

The female reporter waved her hand quickly: "It's okay, please go ahead."

Le Jing answered the phone. After a few seconds, his expression changed from surprise to joy, and finally a comfortable smile appeared on his lips.

After hanging up the phone, the female reporter asked Le Jing, "What good news did you hear?"

"It's not a big deal." Le Jing said slowly: "The Starry Sky Award Organizing Committee called me and said that my work was selected and asked me to walk the red carpet in a few days."
