Brother Dao Took the Entertainment Industry by Storm, Fans Beg Me Not to Kill Anymore

Chapter 570: A Large-Scale Historical Costume Drama Project? Everyone’s Fighting Over It!

The video on Bilibili went viral overnight.

Meanwhile, back at the hotel, Xiao He had just begun removing his makeup and washing up.

Liu Rulan was still making calls to various parties, maintaining personal relationships.

Finally, she called Old Zhong and Old Xu from the judging panel separately, expressing her sincere gratitude to them.

Old Xu and Liu Rulan had been in contact since the Shu Han era, so their conversation was more casual and familiar. Old Xu greatly appreciated Xiao Heʼs performance today and promised over the phone that he could be contacted if needed in the future, then hung up.

As for Old Zhong, because Xiao He had helped his student by stepping in for that scene, he had been holding onto that favor in his heart. So, before hanging up, he tactfully reminded Liu Rulan, ”I made some inquiries about todayʼs matter. It seems thereʼs a historical drama project next year that the official authorities are preparing to support and promote. Itʼs a very important opportunity, and everyone in this circle is eyeing it... You should be careful.”

Liu Rulan was instantly jolted: ”So that rumor is actually true?”

She had indeed heard this news recently while networking in Beijing, but despite privately investigating for a long time and asking people in He Wenmingʼs network, she had never managed to get any concrete information.

She never would have imagined—

-
”A historical drama project?”

Xiao He looked at Liu Rulan with some surprise.

”Yes, a rare historical costume drama. The higher-ups havenʼt launched a project like this for a very long time.”

Liu Rulan couldnʼt hide the excitement on her face.

Officially supported projects are usually scripts and production teams prioritized for support by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. They are typically big-budget, large-scale productions and receive traffic support across various channels. For actors who can participate, it is undoubtedly very advantageous.

Itʼs just that historical drama projects leaning towards period costumes have become much rarer lately. Most revolve around modern history, especially classic roles and stories from the nation-building period. The last such historical costume work told a story from the relatively recent Qing Dynasty era. The actors from that project have all become veteran actors now, possessing extremely high national recognition. Even the child actors got a piece of the pie, becoming child stars and thriving in the industry today.

Therefore, this large-scale historical costume drama project, after who knows how many years, is destined to be quite special.

”The main responsible party for this project is Beijingʼs Jingyou Entertainment. Theyʼve been keeping this matter tightly under wraps, probably intending to carve up all the important roles before the news leaks.”

Hearing this news, Xiao He also became curious: ”Which historical era is the background?”

”I donʼt have detailed information yet, but Iʼll continue asking around.”

Liu Rulan then suddenly realized, ”No wonder those people in Beijing suddenly attacked you. Your recent period drama has been making a huge splash, and now youʼve successfully won the Dual Best Actor award. They must be even more wary of you.”

Originally, there werenʼt enough standout roles in a single project to go around. If Xiao He also barged in, they definitely wouldnʼt be happy.

In the past, Xiao He wasnʼt even qualified to enter their circle, but now that Xiao He has risen, his enemies have become more numerous than before—

After listening, Xiao He wasnʼt worried, just gave a cold laugh: ”Well, thatʼs not really up to them.”

They want to take this chance to suppress him?

Hehe, heʼs definitely going to snatch this script!

”Iʼll continue inquiring about the historical drama for you. As for those who launched the smear campaign against you, I wonʼt let them off easy either. I have some dirt on my hands too. Theyʼll probably have their hands full,” Liu Rulan said.

Xiao He raised an eyebrow: ”Need me to sprinkle some more seasoning?”

Liu Rulan shrugged: ”Up to you.”

Xiao He said ”Oh”: ”Then Iʼll just casually get a few more big accounts banned. Consider it saving them some labor costs.”

As for whether those people would feel the sting, that wasnʼt their concern.

Oh, almost forgot, did they pay their taxes? Could it be they didnʼt?

Goodness, then as an outstanding citizen, he naturally has to exercise his supervisory duty.
