I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 16 Uncut
A week has passed since the screening.

Six days have passed since the film was submitted for review.

With Xu Xiaozhong and Han Sanye making the connections, and assuming there are no issues with the film, the censorship process should be completed soon.

On the evening of the seventh day, the film passed the review, and it was truly uncut.

This is truly a pleasant surprise.

According to Principal Xu Xiaozhong, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television originally planned to find some minor flaws and make slight cuts, but after watching several films, the people from the State Administration found that they had nowhere to start.

Because the continuity of this movie is so strong, cutting even a little bit would probably disrupt the overall plot coherence.

With Xu Xiaozhong and Han Sanye making the connections, even if the State Administration wanted to show its authority, it was impossible for them to do so. In the end, they showed leniency and approved it without any cuts.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Sheng's lips curled up slightly. This was the script provided by the simulation panel, and he had strictly followed the script during filming, so this effect was perfectly normal.

To try and find flaws would be an insult to the simulation panel.

The approval means that "The Great Tang Dynasty - Origins" can now be exhibited in Venice without any issues, and it is completely compliant and legal. There is no need to worry about it being banned.

Principal Xu Xiaozhong is very efficient. Once the review was approved, he first informed Cheng Sheng, and then, on behalf of the school, sent the film to Venice for the festival.

Upon learning this, Cheng Sheng shared the good news with the crew.

Cheng Sheng had created a group chat for "The Great Tang Dynasty" a long time ago, and invited the main actors and supporting actors to join.

This way, if anything happens during filming, everyone can be notified immediately.

In the QQ group, everyone was very happy to hear that the movie had passed censorship and was even submitted to Venice for selection.

If a film is selected for the main competition at Venice, then they all have the opportunity to walk the red carpet in Venice.

If they go abroad and make a splash, their market value will be higher when they come back.

If we win another big prize, everyone's net worth will increase several times over.

"Oh my, Yaya, that's great! Can we go to Venice?"

In the girls' dormitory, after reading Cheng Shengfa's message, Wang Zhi threw her phone on the blanket, ran happily to Tong Yaya's bedside, and shouted excitedly.

Tong Yaya smiled slightly. Although she and Wang Zhi only played palace maids, they still made an appearance in the movie, so it was acceptable for them to walk the red carpet in Venice.

If you really go along and make a name for yourself, you'll definitely be number one among this year's freshmen.

"Congratulations."

At this moment, Lu Sisi and Liu Dini from the dormitory ran over and congratulated the two.

The two of them were extremely envious of Tong Yaya and Wang Zhi, and felt incredibly jealous.

They had originally participated in Cheng Sheng's film shoot, but when they heard they were being relegated to the background, the two women decided not to go.

But now it seems that their choice was completely wrong.

Even if you're just a background figure in a film that gets to participate in Venice, it's a great honor. It'll be a valuable resume to show for future film casting calls.

On the set of "I Am a Farmer".

Just then, Fu Dalong finished his performance, and his agent handed him a bottle of water, saying, "I just received news that Director Cheng Sheng's film has passed censorship and has even been sent to Venice."

“Really,” Fu Dalong said happily.

"Yes, Director Cheng Sheng has already sent the message to the group chat," the agent said.

"Brother He, if I really get selected for the Venice Film Festival's main competition, do I have a chance to be nominated for Best Actor?" Fu Dalong asked, his voice trembling. Best Actor at one of Europe's three major awards!

Being nominated would be an honor.

If he wins the Best Actor award, he'll definitely be a star in the mainland entertainment industry.

They can directly enter the ranks of top artists.

“You will definitely have a chance,” said agent He Ge, patting Fu Dalong on the shoulder.

Upon hearing this, a hint of anticipation flashed in Fu Dalong's eyes.

……

Before and after the filming of Cheng Sheng's movie, the media and the outside world have been paying attention to it, and there is no shortage of hot topics on the Internet, but most of them are pessimistic about Cheng Sheng's movie.

However, because Cheng Sheng hadn't responded much online, the hype died down over time, and people stopped paying attention to Cheng Sheng and his movie.

Now, more than four months have passed, and news of Cheng Sheng has gradually faded away.

Even after his movie wrapped up filming, it didn't attract much attention. Apart from some websites posting news about Cheng Sheng's movie wrapping up, it didn't cause any further stir.

The news of the film's approval and its submission to Venice went largely unnoticed.

Cheng Sheng was happy to have some free time and not have to worry about those things.

In the days that followed, the film was handled by the school, and Cheng Sheng didn't pay much attention to it, focusing instead on his classes and considering his next film project.

The next film will definitely be another historical film, but Cheng Sheng is having some difficulty deciding whether to make a sequel to "The Great Tang Dynasty" or a film about another historical dynasty.

Generally speaking, to avoid audience fatigue, it's better to choose to shoot a new movie.

However, the "Tang Dynasty" series is different because it does not have a single protagonist and will not cause audience fatigue.

The first part of "The Great Tang Dynasty" featured Yang Guang and Li Shimin as the main characters, but in the second part, Li Shimin is definitely the male lead.

The life of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, is a perfect example of a male protagonist in a historical fantasy novel.

Before facing Li Shimin, none of the top leaders at the end of the Sui Dynasty could have imagined that their country would be destroyed in one battle by this child!
Because before following Li Shimin, the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty would not have achieved such brilliant accomplishments!

Because after Li Shimin established the Tang Dynasty, later generations had the misconception that the rebel kings at the end of the Sui Dynasty were not very powerful!
People always focus on Li Shimin's final, devastating victories in every battle.

But few people think about how he did it, or how many life-or-death moments he experienced.

When you see these easily overlooked details, you'll realize how fierce the chaos was at the end of the Sui Dynasty, how difficult it was to establish the Tang Dynasty, and how incredibly fast Li Shimin pacified the country!
Li Shimin is considered by leaders to be the greatest military strategist in ancient history!
Because Li Shimin always managed to achieve the greatest strategic victories at the lowest cost!

As long as a healthy Li Shimin appears on the battlefield, all opponents will be defeated by him in one battle!

This shows just how capable Li Shimin was.

If we follow this trend and film a second installment of "The Great Tang Dynasty," then the protagonist, Li Shimin, will definitely make all viewers understand what a truly satisfying male lead in a wish-fulfillment novel is all about.

Summer vacation is coming soon.

The students are all on holiday and going home, or going to film sets to look for good opportunities.

But Cheng Sheng didn't; instead, he stayed at school waiting for news.

However, during this time, Cheng Sheng still called back to his hometown and told his parents why he wasn't going back.
