This celebrity is absolutely wicked.

Chapter 463 What gives you, a department-level cadre, the right to attend a meeting in Beijing?

Chapter 463 What gives you, a department-level cadre, the right to attend a meeting in Beijing?
Before long, a long Weibo post was edited and Sheng Xie clicked send.

After sending the message, he also sent a message to Xu Gaomin.

"congratulations."

Whether Snowblade Furious Tiger succeeds or not is not important; the key is that Lu Ran must fail.

The poem written by Lu Ran that led to his withdrawal from the Golden Tripod Award had a very significant impact.

Especially the veteran directors in the industry, they were all furious.

The reason is simple: this circle has been operating this way for many years.

What gives you the right to say no, Lu Ran?
You think you're so great just because you're so high and mighty?
For these men, challenging their authority was more serious than sleeping with their women.

If others follow Lu Ran's example in the future, how will the rules of this circle continue to operate?

After Sheng Xie posted his Weibo post online, a group of netizens immediately paid attention to it.

"I've finished watching the first two episodes of Soldiers Sortie. From a market-driven creative perspective, I'd like to offer three personal thoughts. First, the character positioning is flawed. Xu Sanduo is bullied by the entire village, and his cowardly nature clashes with the image of the People's Liberation Army soldiers that the audience expects. The soldiers who protect us should be like the Xuanming Immortal played by Qi Jia in 'Three Yangs Bring Prosperity,' characters with an innate aura of strength, rather than a cowardly son of a bitch who needs a long time to grow."

In the first segment, Sheng Xie forcibly crammed his drama back in.

"Secondly, the narrative efficiency is low. In the two episodes, Snow Blade and Furious Tiger have already started their counter-terrorism operations, while Soldiers Assault is still in the recruit training stage."

"Thirdly, military-themed works should highlight the courage and spirit of soldiers. Xu Sanduo's failure to copy the confidentiality rules for the entire platoon seriously undermines the professional sanctity of the powerful guardians."

Finally, Shengxie gave a summary.

The entire Weibo post was an arrogant one, telling Lu Ran what to do.

Shengxie timed this wave of popularity very accurately, and the number of likes and comments on Weibo quickly increased.

That evening, in a hotel in Beijing, Lu Ran's phone kept buzzing with notifications.

"What's going on?"

Lu Ran arrived in the capital during the day.

He opened his phone and saw that it was a message from one of his fans.

"Director Lu, Sheng Xie is criticizing you again. We can't refute him. Go ahead and do it yourself."

"Director Lu, leading cadres must set an example by taking the lead. Let's go!"

"It's not that we don't want to help you, it's that we're not capable enough."

Seeing the online public opinion, Lu Ran's fans didn't dare to say a word.

There's no way around it; Sheng Xie pointed out these problems one by one in the first two episodes of "Soldiers Sortie." The issues are there, and that's the reality.

"It's disgusting to stage an accident to extort money."

Lu Ran felt disgusted by this kind of opportunistic marketing. After reading Sheng Xie's Weibo post, Lu Ran directly clicked the forward button and forwarded the post, but he didn't say a word.

He then picked up a conference badge from the table, took a picture of it, and posted it on Weibo.

"I have arrived in Beijing today and will be attending a meeting tomorrow. It is a great honor."

With that sentence, Lu Ran clicked send.

Lu Ran felt that he had grown up now and was someone who could come to the capital for meetings, so he could no longer be as lacking in manners as before. At least for the next few days, he needed to maintain his composure.

The representative from Henan Province, Liang Mancang, is currently playing on his phone; for night owls, this is the most exciting time of day.

His phone received two update notifications from Lu Ran. When he clicked on them, the first one was Lu Ran forwarding Sheng Xie's Weibo post without adding a single word.

"What's going on with Director Lu? Has he backed down? What does Sheng Xie know about creative work? He's a director who can only make commercial films, and now he can't even make good commercial films."

In the field of literary and artistic creation, we should encourage a hundred flowers to bloom and a hundred schools of thought to contend.

Sheng Xie talked about so much, but what he was really talking about was the creative method of commercially successful, fast-paced dramas.

But just like online novels, some novels have a slow pace, while others have a fast pace.

It's not accurate to say that a fast pace is necessarily better than a slow pace, or that a fast pace is always better.

This is simply a difference in creative techniques.

The key point is whether it looks good or not.

"Soldiers Sortie" is the kind of show with a slow pace.

Liang Mancang continued to look at Lu Ran's second Weibo post.

Upon seeing the words "meeting in Beijing," Liang Mancang scoffed, "What's wrong with you that you're going to Beijing for a meeting? You, a mere department-level cadre, think you can go to Beijing for a meeting?"

However, when he saw the photo Lu Ran posted, he immediately lost his composure.

This photo is of a conference badge, which includes Lu Ran's picture, name, and a conference introduction.

"Award Ceremony for the Five-One Project for Building Spiritual Civilization".

Upon seeing this line of text, Liang Mancang immediately stood up.

Although he had never heard of this award before, the name itself sounded impressive. Liang Mancang quickly searched for it on his computer.

The "Five-One Project Award for Spiritual Civilization Construction" selects outstanding works in five categories from the spiritual products produced and recommended by provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government in the previous year.

Liang Mancang read aloud the content displayed on the screen.

"These five aspects are: a good theatrical work, a good TV series (film), a good film, a good book, a good theoretical article, and later a good song and a good radio drama were also included in the selection scope."

Before they knew it, after reading this introduction, Liang Mancang's eyes widened in surprise.

This award sounds pretty high-class. It wasn't awarded by a company or association, but by a legitimate higher-level authority, the publicity department.

Since it's an awards ceremony, and Lu Ran even got a conference pass, doesn't that mean he's going to attend and be recognized?
Liang Mancang quickly shared the news in his fan group.

"Wake up, everyone! Director Lu has really made great progress; he's actually gone to the capital for a meeting!"

A group of night owls who were still awake were immediately agitated after seeing the screenshots posted by Liangmancang.

"We joke about your progress every day, how come you've actually improved?"

"What right do you, a department-level official, have to go to Beijing for an awards ceremony? Is this a place you're allowed to go?"

"I have another piece of news to share: Director Lu is only twenty-three years old."

"Lu Ting, who was twenty-three, was in a meeting in the capital. What was I doing at twenty-three?"

"Director Lu told me that I was just going to a meeting, not to receive an award."

After a while, Secretary Li sent a message in the group chat.

"We don't know whether we'll win an award or not, so please be patient and check the news on major official media outlets tomorrow."

After sending this message, Secretary Li added a proud emoji.

This caused an uproar online.

Lu Ran's conference pass is indeed quite valuable.

After all, Sheng Xie and Xu Gaomin have worked so hard for so long, but they still haven't gotten their hands on this certificate.

Sheng Xie was happily preparing to go to sleep, but when he saw Lu Ran's conference pass, he immediately felt disgusted.

"Please don't win the prize!"

He could only pray silently in his heart.

If they win an award, where will they put their faces?

However, by the next morning, various specialized media outlets had already published the news.

By this time, the commendation ceremony had already ended.

"This morning, the 14th Five-One Project Award Ceremony for Spiritual Civilization Construction was held in Beijing. The ceremony recognized advanced units and outstanding works in organizational work, awarding prizes to 15 theatrical works including 'White Orchid' and 12 film works including 'The Vast Land'... The 105 winning works were selected from 1068 works submitted by participating units through a rigorous review process, fully reflecting the fruitful achievements in the creation of spiritual and cultural products in the past two years. The list of winners is as follows."

Netizens quickly looked at the long list of winners below, searching for familiar names.

In addition to the publicity departments of each province being recognized as outstanding units, the works were also commended.

Soon, netizens spotted Lu Ran on television.

"The TV documentary 'China in Classical Texts,' produced by the Beijing Propaganda Department and Shaanxi Propaganda Department, truly deserves its award!"

Everyone continued searching inside.

I've watched all of Lu Ran's movies and TV series, but there are no more of his works.

Now, it's time for the song.

"Now we come to Lu Ran's area. Let's see which song wins."

Netizens quickly found the first one.

"The song 'Come Home Often' is produced by Shaanxi Propaganda Department."

However, as people continued reading, they saw the second one.

"The song 'The Nation' was performed by Shaanxi Propaganda Department and Zhejiang Propaganda Department."

"Two now!"

But it's not over yet.

"The song 'Song of Macau', Macau".

"The song 'Pearl of the Orient' is from Hong Kong."
