Upon seeing that the visitor is Director Zhu, Ding Yue couldn’t help but frown and ask.

As soon as Zhu Youzhao entered, he saw not only Principal Ding but also Director Huang, the cultural secretary, and even the robot, Big White, in the office.

Most importantly, there was a middle-aged man, who looked unfamiliar, sitting on the sofa.

"Principal Ding, I came to report some news about our food documentary ’A Bite of Xia Country’."

Director Zhu Youzhao spoke cautiously.

"Speaking of ’A Bite of Xia Country’, Principal Ding, the film your university made is quite impressive, I enjoyed watching it very much, and so did my wife, Mei Jia."

Xu Dongcheng said with a smile upon hearing this.

"Is that so?"

"Who is this?" Zhu Youzhao looked at Xu Dongcheng and asked curiously.

"Director Zhu, this is Principal Xu Dongcheng from Westlight University," Ding Yue introduced briefly.

"Hello."

"Hello."

Zhu Youzhao and Xu Dongcheng greeted each other.

"By the way, Director Zhu, our film ’A Bite of Xia Country’ produced by our Film Institute was nominated for the National Documentary Contest, is there any news?"

Ding Yue couldn’t help but frown, looking at Zhu Youzhao and asking.

"Yes, but the latest news is that our food documentary ’A Bite of Xia Country’ not only was nominated for the National Documentary Contest but also for the NTS Gold Award in Documentaries for this year’s NTS Awards!"

"NTS Award?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue’s eyes lit up.

"Principal Ding, the NTS Award is the top award in our country’s film and television arts field!" Xu Dongcheng spoke with astonishment: "However, considering the quality of ’A Bite of Xia Country’ from your Mist City Arts and Science University, I think it’s completely deserving of the NTS Gold Award in Documentaries, and there’s even the possibility of winning it!"

If anyone, Ding Yue would certainly understand the prestige of the NTS Awards!

As the most authoritative film and TV award in the country, the NTS Awards, held by NTS, have a very high value.

"I recall now, our ’A Bite of Xia Country’ was purchased by NTS for broadcast rights, right? So the NTS Award nomination must have come directly from NTS!"

Ding Yue suddenly remembered.

Just now, Ding Yue was wondering how his film department’s food documentary ’A Bite of Xia Country’ at the Mist City Arts and Science University, which had only been nominated for the National Documentary Contest, also got nominated for the NTS Gold Award in Documentaries.

It turns out it was because of NTS.

"Yes Principal Ding, Director Liu Mei from the first channel of NTS told me this news. She said that NTS directly helped us apply for this year’s NTS Award at the last moment and finally got us nominated for the NTS Gold Award in Documentaries!"

Zhu Youzhao explained while nodding his head.

"That’s great news, then when will the results of the NTS Awards be announced? We should be present at the ceremony, right?"

Ding Yue asked curiously.

"Yes, Director Liu Mei said that we need to send at least the producer to the scene at that time. Of course, it would be best if you could be there, Principal Ding. The awards ceremony will be live-broadcasted at 8 p.m. on November 5th."

For such an award event, usually when you are nominated, the nominating producer or director needs to be present during the announcement of the winners.

The winner is only revealed on site, and such an award ceremony often takes the form of a live broadcast.

Moreover, this is a prestigious NTS Award.

The NTS Awards are held annually, and select the best films, TV series, best male and female leads, supporting actors, directors, and other awards that are broadcast nationwide.

The NTS Award is considered top-tier domestically, the only other comparable award being the Golden Dragon Award.

The Golden Dragon Award was one of the most influential animation awards in the previous world.

However, in the parallel world of Xia Country, the Golden Dragon Award is the most popular film and TV award, but the Golden Dragon Award does not include a documentary award.

Only the NTS Award includes a documentary award.

If everything goes as planned, the animated film from Mist City Arts and Science University, ’Super Combat Team,’ should be able to enter the competition and be nominated for the Best Animated Feature Film Award at the Golden Dragon Awards next year.

After all, if such a popular animated film doesn’t get nominated for the Golden Dragon Award, Ding Yue wouldn’t believe it if you told him there was no foul play!

Returning to the topic of NTS Awards.

If the food documentary from the film department of Mist City Arts and Science University, ’A Bite of Xia Country,’ manages to win the Documentary Gold Award, it would greatly enhance the reputation of the team who produced the film. In the future, they might even be recruited by NTS to exclusively produce documentaries!

Then, Ding Yue would have to consider whether or not he wants to see such a promising team get hired away by NTS.

Of course, there’s no need to consider it too much now, as it is still uncertain whether they can win the NTS Gold Award for Documentaries.

Being nominated only means they qualify for the awards, it all depends on whether ’A Bite of Xia Country’ can beat the other competitors in the same period.

Without having to guess, Ding Yue knew for certain that the competition wouldn’t be simple, given that it is an NTS nominated documentary!
