The International Film Festival Awards Ceremony.
Simulcast across the entire internet.
Such a grand event in the film and television industry naturally couldn't be contained within a single livestream, as network conditions wouldn't permit.
The official organizers of the awards ceremony had invited major livestreaming platforms to provide synchronized broadcasts for everyone, with each country setting up its own independent official livestream channel.
In China, as the awards ceremony was about to begin, it had already garnered tens of millions of viewers.
Even with a black screen, people were chatting enthusiastically.
"Hurry up, I can't wait any longer!"
"Haha, the old rascal Jiangnan is finally going to reveal his true face!"
"I have a feeling that all the trending topics tonight will be dominated by the old rascal Jiangnan. Tingyu won't be able to snatch them!"
"This is the strongest screenwriter in the domestic entertainment industry, and his team represents the highest standard of the domestic film and television circle. This mysterious screenwriter is finally willing to show his face on camera!"
"Jiangnan is finally lifting the veil, my youth is complete!"
"Indeed, I've been a fan of Jiangnan and Tingyu since high school, and now I'm in college. Having these two in my youth makes me feel a little proud."
"Of course. Back in the era of traffic, everyone's youth was filled with bad dramas and hit songs. Now, having Jiangnan and Tingyu in your youth is such a fortunate thing!"
Jiangnan and Tingyu, although in different circles, both accomplished one thing: they carved out their own paths amidst a sea of trending traffic with their works, defeating traffic with their strength and elevating public aesthetics with their creations.
They truly let the public understand what a good song is and what a good film or television work is.
The current domestic entertainment market still has room for traffic, but many people now know how to distinguish between good and bad. Good songs or film and television works are encouraged, and audiences give them high scores on rating websites.
Bad works, apart from being praised by traffic fans, are also criticized and given low ratings by others.
It's no longer like before, where after being force-fed garbage by capital, everyone had to say the garbage was delicious, making one doubt their own aesthetic differences with the public and forcing them to follow the crowd.
The public today is no longer blindly led by the nose by capital and traffic.

Jingdu.
Lin Family Estate.
Lin Zhaoyang and his wife, along with Lin Yanyu, were already seated in front of the television, eating fruit and waiting for the awards ceremony.
"It's finally here! It's finally coming!"
Even Lin Zhaoyang, upon thinking about Su Yu's identity being exposed, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement!
"Dad, is there any need to be so excited? It's better to think about Su Su's personal safety after his identity is revealed, as his fans have threatened to 'stab' him." Lin Yanyu said with a hint of annoyance.
She thought that Jiangnan's identity being revealed would bring inconvenience to Su Yu, as Jiangnan was seen by many as a screenwriter who enjoyed tormenting his audience, and many people already held grievances against him.
While many people jokingly threatened to "stab" him, there might be extreme fans who would actually do it, which would then become troublesome.
"Anyway, you're going on your honeymoon trip abroad soon. By the time you return, these fans will have accepted Su Yu's identity." Lin Zhaoyang waved his hand and continued, "Do you know how difficult it is for me to hold back when I boast about my son-in-law to others and can't say he is Jiangnan?"
Lin Zhaoyang's personality was such that if he had talent, he had to show it off, and show it off beautifully. Otherwise, he would feel extremely uncomfortable.
The fact that Su Yu was Jiangnan couldn't be revealed. Having such an amazing son-in-law but only being able to mention half of his identity was a thorn in his side.
It made him very unhappy.
But today, this thorn was finally going to be pulled out.
"My son-in-law is Tingyu, and he is also Jiangnan!"
The thought of being able to add that extra sentence when introducing his son-in-law to others in the future filled him with immense satisfaction!
"There's still a concert to go. After it's finished, we can go on our trip," Lin Yanyu sighed.
She had already canceled all her schedules for the year, wanting to have a good honeymoon with Su Yu.
She was already eager.
However, after the awards ceremony, Su Yu had a huge concert, where he would invite guest singers to perform and sing new songs from his album. Fans had long been anticipating it.
After the concert, the two of them could finally put everything aside and go on their honeymoon trip to enjoy their time together.
...
Tencent Video.
It had long been humorously nicknamed the "Jiangnan Video Player" by netizens.
As soon as Jiangnan released any new work, they would launch promotions and give away various VIP trial cards for free.
Although there were indeed initial losses from the promotions.
However, after securing the exclusive rights to Jiangnan's works, all the losses were recouped. Furthermore, the domestic and international exclusive broadcasting rights for the drama "The Wandering Earth" directly propelled Tencent Video to the top of the download charts for overseas video apps.
It was equivalent to a single film helping Tencent Video open up the overseas market, which was an effect that money couldn't achieve.

It seemed to have become a tradition.
All of Tencent Video's promotional activities were planned around Jiangnan.
They even wrote "Jiangnan Wins Championship" in large characters on the app icon!
"Tencent Video is completely copying NetEase Cloud Music's playbook!"
"This feeling, it's like seeing the relationship between Tingyu and NetEase Cloud Music!"
"Haha, the predecessor paved the way, and the successor enjoys the benefits."
"But Tencent Video is really popular recently, especially overseas!"
"So, licking until the end really means having it all!"
"This also shows Tencent Video's boldness. Look at so many film and television platforms in the domestic entertainment industry; which one has bet its entire fortune on Jiangnan? Tencent Video started placing its bets early on when Jiangnan was still in his early days, so their current success is quite reasonable."
"Indeed, the free memberships I've gotten will last until next year. They must have incurred significant losses initially, and are likely only starting to profit recently. To achieve this level, Tencent Video deserves to soar!"
Of course.
Besides Tencent Video.
Platforms like Douyin and Bilibili, which focused on short videos, also had many bloggers paying attention to Jiangnan's awards ceremony.
There were even many netizens livestreaming their viewing experience, accompanying fans as they watched.
The most powerful and mysterious editor in the domestic entertainment industry would have his true identity revealed tonight!
There had already been a lot of speculation about Jiangnan's identity.
Some said Jiangnan was afraid to show his face because he was ugly, and there were even outrageous claims that Jiangnan was Lin Zhaoyang, with so many people agreeing with these statements.
Tonight, the rumors and gossip would be put to an end.
Jiangnan's true identity would finally lift its mysterious veil!
