Tang Haiqiu was the leading figure in Great Xia's xianxia genre, having sparked the wave of xianxia dramas and holding a prominent position in the domestic director scene.
However, due to his limited involvement in mainstream dramas, his accolades were few.
Previously, Tang Haiqiu wouldn't have been able to rally so many directors.
But now, with his nomination for Best Director at this year's Nine Realms Awards for "Crossing the Demon Realm," his status had risen.
Since the inception of the Nine Realms Awards, only twelve directors from Great Xia had been nominated, with three ultimately winning the award.
A single nomination elevated Tang Haiqiu to the same level as these esteemed veterans.
In the entertainment industry, awards and achievements were the only solid credentials.
