The video on Bilibili went viral overnight.
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Xiao He had just started removing his makeup and washing up.
Liu Rulan was still making phone calls to various people to maintain relationships.
Finally, she called Mr. Zhong and Mr. Xu, members of the judging panel, to express her sincere gratitude to them.
Old Xu and Liu Rulan had been in contact since the time of Shu Han, so their conversation was quite casual and familiar. Old Xu appreciated Xiao He's performance today and promised that he could contact him again if needed, before hanging up the phone.
As for Elder Zhong, he still remembered the favor Xiao He had done for his student, so before hanging up the phone, he subtly reminded Liu Rulan: "I looked into what happened today, and it seems there's a historical drama project coming up next year that the government is planning to support. It's a very important project, and people in this circle are all watching it closely... You should be careful."
Liu Rulan was immediately shocked: "This is actually true?"
She had been traveling around Beijing recently and had indeed heard the news, but despite her long-term inquiries and asking about He Wenming's connections, she had not been able to get any concrete information.
I never expected this—
-
"A historical drama project?"
Xiao He looked at Liu Rulan with some surprise.
"Yes, it's a rare historical costume drama. The authorities haven't started this project for a long time."
Liu Rulan could not hide her excitement.
Officially supported projects are generally scripts and production teams that receive key support from the State Administration of Radio and Television. These projects are typically large-scale productions with high budgets and receive viewership support from various television stations, which is undoubtedly very beneficial for the actors who can participate.
There are fewer historical dramas with a focus on ancient costumes now. Most of them are filmed around modern history, especially classic characters and stories from the founding of the People's Republic of China. The last such historical drama was set in the relatively recent Qing Dynasty. The actors in it have now become veteran actors with high national recognition. Even the child actors benefited from the success and became child stars, and are now doing very well.
Therefore, this large-scale historical drama project, which has been delayed for who knows how many years, is destined to be quite special.
"The main party in charge of this project is Jingyou Entertainment in Beijing. They have been keeping this matter very secret, presumably to divide up all the important roles before the news leaks out."
Upon hearing this news, Xiao He also became curious: "What era is it set in?"
"I don't have any details yet, but I will continue to ask around."
Liu Rulan then suddenly realized, "No wonder those people in Beijing suddenly attacked you. Your recent period drama has been a huge hit, and now you've won two Best Actor awards. I'm afraid they're even more wary of you now."
There weren't enough outstanding characters in the original work, and if Xiao He also interfered, they definitely wouldn't be happy.
Xiao He wasn't even worthy of entering their circle before, but now that he's risen to power, he has even more enemies than before.
Upon hearing this, Xiao He was not worried, but merely sneered: "That's not up to them."
Want to take this opportunity to suppress him?
Haha, he's really going to snatch this script!
"I'll continue to inquire about historical dramas for you. As for those companies that tried to sabotage you, I won't let them get away with it. I have some information on them, and I think they'll be too busy to handle their own problems," Liu Rulan said.
Xiao He raised an eyebrow: "Want me to add some more fluff?"
Liu Rulan shrugged: "Do as you please."
Xiao He said "Oh": "Then let's just ban a few more big accounts, it'll save them some labor costs."
Whether those people will feel the pinch or not is none of their business.
