"It's an upset!"

Jiang Tingfang's words made Yang Chen's face darken.

An upset?

Could it be…

"This time, the industry's focus is on Luo Lin, you, Lin Manman, Huo Zichuan, and…Feng Baichuan. None of them managed to get into the top three of the Zhiyin Cup.”

" None of them?!"

Yang Chen was taken aback. This shouldn't be the case. His old tavern was already so popular in the country and even managed to get 3.5% of the viewership ratings.

The number of views on the Internet had already reached 1 billion!

It was fine if he didn't get first place, but how could he not even get into the top three?

Was it fake?

In an instant, Yang Chen was sure that there was a black whistle.

That shouldn't be the case.

It was true that the Zhiyin Cup was difficult, but it shouldn't be that difficult. What was Li An thinking?

He was a little unconvinced.

"Don't be anxious. Let me finish."

Jiang Tingfang saw that Yang Chen was a little emotional, so she immediately comforted him and began to explain her thoughts,"

"I think the judges of the Zhiyin Cup did it on purpose.”

"Logically speaking, as long as the review team isn't stupid, with the old tavern's popularity on WeChat, the Internet, and the television station, even if it's the worst, it should be given a ranking.”

"But they didn't!"

"Have you ever thought about the consequences of what they did today? It's very likely that the audience will scold them for not doing their job well and that their brains are flooded. But they still did it!"

"Even if you're scolded, you still have to make this decision!”

"What's the point?"

Yang Chen was not as angry as before. He calmed down and analyzed Jiang Tingfang's words carefully.

"You mean…"

"Did they do it on purpose?"

"Because the five of us were pushed to the forefront and received a lot of attention, so they did the opposite?”

"Not all of them."

Jiang Tingfang continued," This morning, China Entertainment received news from the Zhiyin Cup review team. The winner this time is also a C-list director.”

"This C-list director doesn't have much potential. That was the only thing he could do in his life. Therefore, the review team gave him the win and promoted him to a B-list director.”

"In addition, Director Li An even personally made a phone call to express his condolences to our Central Entertainment. He also praised you personally over the phone. You're a capable young man and he hopes that you can continue to work hard and bring even better works to the directing world.”

“……”

Yang Chen didn't say anything and continued to listen.

"I guess that this Zhiyin Cup is actually a test of water. What Li An wants to do is to let the two of you have a real competition.”

"Let's see who wins and who loses. We'll see who's the director with real potential and ability.”

"Who is the real C-list director that the domestic directing industry and the fishing vessel media have high hopes for!”

"So, you must remember what I'm going to tell you next. Remember it firmly and don't spread it to others.”

Jiang Tingfang's decibel lowered, and she looked serious to prevent others from eavesdropping.

"Sister Fangfang, go ahead."

In fact, Yang Chen didn't have as much resentment as before.

At first, he really couldn't accept it, but now, after listening to so much, he could somewhat understand the painstaking efforts of the review team.

However, even though he understood, he was still a little unhappy.

Have you heard of the Firmament Cup?"

" The Director's Cup held by the Firmament Network?" Yang Chen had heard of it.

As the largest television drama review website in the country, Cangqiong Network was the source of the television drama and movie industry in China.

The ratings here were much more objective than Douban and Cat's Eye.

This was because some of the employees in the Firmament Network were also in the director circle.

They would give a comprehensive evaluation based on the more professional parts of the television series and the netizens 'opinions.

This was why the Firmament Network was so famous.

"The Firmament Cup is more valuable than the Zhiyin Cup. If you win, your status in the directing world will rise by a lot!”

Jiang Tingfang's voice continued,

"However, not many people were able to participate in the previous Firmament Cup because the threshold was too high. First of all, one must have at least one popular drama.”

"Secondly, only C-list directors are qualified to participate!”

Yang Chen finally understood.

"You mean…the reason why Director Li An did not give us a score is because he wants me, Huo Zichuan, Luo Lin, Lin Manman, and Feng Baichuan to participate in the Firmament Cup and compete on a bigger stage?”

"Not all of them!"

Jiang Tingfang frowned and her voice gradually became solemn.

"As mentioned before, the Firmament Cup has a very high threshold. This time, some B-list directors will also participate. Many of them have two or more popular dramas in their hands!”

"This is what it means to make gold with a big wave! A real selection!"

“……”

Yang Chen suddenly felt a sense of pressure.

He had thought that he could be complacent after filming two popular dramas, but he realized that there was always someone better.

He could be ranked among the C-list directors.

However, if it was a B-list director, it would not look good.

The difference between a B-list and a C-list might seem a little, but many people would never be able to cross this hurdle in their lifetime.

"There's one more thing that's most important!”

Jiang Tingfang continued,

"This year's Firmament Cup has restricted the theme of the participating directors!”

" Restricted topics?!"

Yang Chen frowned. He didn't expect the rules of the competition to be so strict. It was basically a matter of luck to limit the theme.

For example, someone was suitable for historical dramas, but he only allowed all the directors to shoot idol dramas. That person who only knew how to shoot historical dramas was instantly stunned.

He didn't know how to film anymore.

"May I ask, when will the Firmament Cup begin and what kind of drama can I only film?”

At this point, Jiang Tingfang became worried and her pretty face twisted together.

"The theme of the Firmament Cup should be officially announced after the New Year, but our China Entertainment has used our connections to get some information.”

"After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the Firmament Cup will officially begin! The deadline was May 18th. As for the topics that are only allowed to be filmed…"

At this point, Jiang Tingfang paused and looked troubled. She didn't know how to continue.

"Sister Fangfang?"

Yang Chen frowned and asked,"

"Unfortunately, it's a subject that you haven't touched before!”

"Xianxia drama!"
