The Academy Awards was the most authoritative award in the world.
Ê ňu m ӑ
In the past, Chinese films had rarely received Oscar nominations, let alone a single film receiving two major nominations simultaneously.
Yet "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" had achieved this seemingly impossible benchmark.

[After so many years, are Chinese films finally standing up!]
[Two nominations in a row, worthy of Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas, simply incredible.]
[Let's not get too excited, it's just a nomination. People who don't know might think it already won.]
[Even a nomination is impressive. In Chinese film history, not many films have been nominated.]
Ë n̈ u ḿа
Reading the trending comments, Yao Bianliang couldn't help but feel deeply moved.
Before filming, she hadn't imagined that "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" would receive Oscar nominations.
But then again, in terms of both visual effects and artistic merit, "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" was at the pinnacle.
Receiving nominations for these two awards wasn't particularly surprising.

Yao Bianliang briefly scanned the other nominated films; the vast majority were from Western countries, with no second Chinese film appearing on the list.
But she thought that, given a little more time, there would be more and more new Chinese films on the Oscar nomination list.

"Currently there are only about a dozen films nominated," Yao Bianliang remarked as she browsed.
In this parallel world, Oscar nominations weren't announced all at once but were adjusted in batches.
After this round of announcements, there would be third, fourth, and fifth rounds of voting, selecting the films with the most votes according to certain algorithms and adding them to the nomination list.
Therefore, this wasn't the final, complete list.
"Host, it seems the judges have a favorable opinion of 'Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas,'" the system couldn't help saying.
The film had succeeded in the second round of voting, demonstrating its strong competitiveness.

Yao Bianliang rubbed her chin with her finger, looking at the few films on the list, her eyes thoughtful.
There were no particularly strong competitors this year; perhaps "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" might actually win.
"Host... you seem quite happy about the film winning an award?" the system was somewhat surprised.
"Of course," Yao Bianliang replied casually. "It's 'Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas' that's been nominated, not 'The Invisible Artist.' What do I have to worry about?"
Amid this harmonious atmosphere, Yao Bianliang also saw numerous inappropriate comments.
Lu Group's paid commenter offensive had some effect, and now a small portion of netizens had changed their evaluation of her.

[Look, Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas received nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Art Direction, but not a single word about the female lead.]
[So don't hype Yao Bianliang. What contribution did she make to this film's success? It all depended on the director and special effects.]

[Yao Bianliang's performance was also noteworthy, with several classic shots. The reason she wasn't nominated is simply because the film doesn't focus on the female lead.]
[Even without a nomination, Yao Bianliang's acting skills outperform 90% of domestic stars, thank you.]
[Unbelievable, if not for Yao Bianliang's investment, 'Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas' wouldn't even exist. Could certain people please investigate before commenting?]
[I feel Yao Bianliang has lost her initial pursuit, indulging in scripts without depth, her acting skills will only continue to decline.]

This debate didn't last too long.
Yao Bianliang refreshed the page again and found that some paid comments had been deleted, leaving only a few netizens who had been stirred up by the paid commenters still posting.
As new comments rose, people continued discussing "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas," with comments about Yao Bianliang pushed down.
The topic returned to its normal course.

The bright moon hung high, and night breezes blew in gusts.
E ń ũm̂ а. їd̆
On this night, "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" was destined to be in the spotlight.
The entire nation of China was discussing it, and major news media were reporting on it. Industry insiders began discussing the film's merits, trying to replicate this successful case.
And on this very night, Yao Bianliang finally received a notification from the system.
[Ding, mission deadline reached]
[Current mission:
Please have the host star in a big-budget film, with an investment of no less than 1 billion and a timeframe of no less than two years.

If the final box office doesn't exceed 1 billion, and the Douban rating is below 6 points, the mission is considered completed.]
[Completion status: "The Invisible Artist" box office 25 million, rating 4.9 points, mission completed!]
"Mission completed"
Seeing these four words, Yao Bianliang's heart skipped slightly, almost holding her breath.
Her finger moved lightly, slowly scrolling down the system screen. A new paragraph of text appeared before her.
[Mission message:
Е n u m̀ å. і.d̈
Defeated repeatedly, fought repeatedly. The host's perseverance has finally won you a perfect ending.
One film attracts attention, while another quietly succeeds—this is truly a brilliant strategy.

The chaotic timeline in the film's plot and the montage-style filming techniques have shrouded "The Invisible Artist" in mystery.
Box office and awards combined, commercial and artistic merits united. It seems the host has finally mastered the secret of "cooling down."
Congratulations, host. In your future life journey, you can regain your freedom, enjoy life, and no longer be bound by system rules.
—Looking forward to our next meeting.]

Bonus situation: You've received a completion bonus of 100 billion, which will be distributed through special system channels. (The existence of this bonus is reasonable, legal, and compliant; please use it with confidence.)
As the final line appeared, a "ding dong" sound was heard, and Yao Bianliang's phone notification rang.

It must be said that the system's black technology was truly first-class.
Such an enormous amount of funds appearing in various banks didn't raise any suspicion.
It was like a bug in a game world—players might notice anomalies, but NPCs wouldn't detect anything. The world continued operating normally, as if these funds had never appeared.
Yao Bianliang suppressed her excitement and logged into her Swiss bank account.
The string of "0"s before her eyes dazzled her.

Yao Bianliang had originally been somewhat wealthy, but after filming "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" and "The Invisible Artist," she had essentially spent all her money—whether visible funds, fixed assets, or invisible assets.
If not for Mo Youqian's financial support, her Hudi Entertainment probably couldn't have maintained normal operations.
But now it seemed...
All the efforts had been worthwhile!
Exchanging a billion or so for 100 billion was an absolute win.
Now, she had finally become a wealthy woman with even more cash than Mo Youqian!

Of course, all of the above wasn't the key point—more importantly, she had finally regained her freedom!
On the weekend, the morning sunlight filtered through branches, creating dappled patterns on the ground, bringing a special warmth.

Yao Bianliang and Mo Youqian walked along a forest path, enjoying this hard-earned leisure. Birds chirped in the branches, everything appeared vibrant with life.
"You seem very happy lately?" Mo Youqian couldn't help but say glumly. "You really don't care about the rumors online at all."
In the early hours of the night, Yao Bianliang had suddenly distributed red packets in the group chat. The next day, she had waved her hand and invited all Hudi Entertainment employees out for a gathering, celebrating with champagne.
Although "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" receiving award nominations was indeed worth celebrating, but...
W e bn о̂v̈е l Ёnū m а̀
The public opinion about Yao Bianliang herself wasn't particularly friendly.
These days, Mo Youqian frequently came across comments about Yao Bianliang, unable to distinguish whether they were from paid commenters or ordinary people.
Yao Bianliang's acting level declining, Yao Bianliang losing her initial pursuits, Yao Bianliang no longer having the spirit she had when first entering the industry...
From "Sigh of Floating Life" to "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas," the film content lacked significant depth and didn't require high acting skills.

People seemed to have determined from this that Yao Bianliang could no longer produce the kind of stunning works she once had.
To engage with these netizens, Mo Youqian had nearly developed dark circles under his eyes.
Ẅ ėb̂ṅ óv̌ е̊ l̈ E ň ũm а̊
Whenever he thought of this, he became more determined to make Lu Group go bankrupt quickly—the instigator must pay the price.
Yao Bianliang shrugged: "With 'The Invisible Artist' flopping, how can I be upset?"
On such a day worthy of universal celebration, the comments of a small portion of netizens weren't worth her concern.
Yao Bianliang said earnestly: "Think about it, if one day you lost a lot, a lot of money. At that time, if a small group of people spoke ill of you, would you be upset?"
Mo Youqian tried to put himself in that position.
Well, on such a day worthy of champagne celebration, such trivial matters seemed completely unworthy of sadness.

"So... how much money did you lose on this film in total?" Mo Youqian asked tentatively.
Yao Bianliang thought for a moment: "Not much, probably just 1 billion."
Mo Youqian: "..."
He was wrong; he had actually been worried for Yao Bianliang.
She could easily "cool down," not only did her film flop, but she directly lost 1 billion.
The one who should really be worried was himself.
W̆ е̄b̈ǹ o̊v e l Е nu m̄а́
"One billion..." Mo Youqian calculated quickly, inwardly astonished. "You've made history, haven't you?"
The film that lost the most money in global film history, bar none!

Such a glorious achievement hadn't been reached by anyone in the past hundred years; and in the next hundred years, it would likely be difficult for anyone to surpass it.
"How... did you manage that?" Mo Youqian humbly asked for guidance.
Losing 1 billion—that was a ready answer.
If he could grasp the essence, couldn't he replicate this "successful" case?
Ē n̆ù m̂ а
Even if he couldn't lose as much as Yao Bianliang, he could at least lose several hundred million, right?
Yao Bianliang met Mo Youqian's eager gaze and smiled: "Regarding this question, I suggest you consult Professor Quan Suyou."
Yao Bianliang had also summarized why "The Invisible Artist" not only failed to achieve box office success but also received low audience ratings.
Apart from the objective factor of "Chronicle of Nine Provinces' Mountains and Seas" being a massive hit, the director's filming techniques also played a significant role.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"The Invisible Artist" inherently conveyed a sense of absurdity.
Combined with its futuristic setting and chaotic timeline, the entire film was cloaked in a disorienting veil.
Ẃ ё ḃ ṅo v e̊l̊ Ӗñu m̊а
Quan Suyou had made many changes to the script's timeline. The film repeatedly used a three-part structure, making time flow backward and return to the starting point. Simultaneously, he rapidly edited many plot points, using montage techniques that left viewers unable to keep up.
Impressionist filming, bizarre and dazzling scenes, surreal technology and consciousness... reality mixed with absurdity, rationality mixed with irrationality.
These were the characteristics of "The Invisible Artist."
No wonder some viewers felt the film was incomprehensible. Without watching it multiple times and savoring it carefully, non-professionals would find it difficult to untangle the story threads, let alone understand the film's core.
"Quan Suyou..." Mo Youqian nodded slightly, silently noting this name.
It seemed this Director Quan Suyou was a rare talent.

For the next film, he would hire him!

The sunshine was perfect as Yao Bianliang and Mo Youqian chatted casually while strolling leisurely toward the lakeside scenic area.
Unnoticed by anyone, a post about "The Invisible Artist" quietly appeared on B University's official forum.
