[Tsk, isnât it just clothes? When you know how much the outfit costs, youâll probably understand why she looks good. Isnât it just because of money? Sheâs nothing without money.]
[I give up. This is a cultural program that relies on works to speak and to evaluate directors and actors, right? How did it become a beauty pageant? Thereâs even a bunch of people whoâve fallen for it. I really donât know whatâs in their heads!]
[How much was the production team given? Are they trying to push her to her death? But, it seems like she isnât far from it anyway.]
One after another, the haters wanted to trample Lu An to death.
The four directors were quickly seated and the show began.
The two big name directors sat in the middle, with Lu An and Qi Yan on both ends. Lu An was next to Chen Wenyu and Qi Yan was next to Qiu Lihua. They sat facing the stage, while behind them were 100 live audience members. On the right were a few big name judges who had been specially invited by the production team, and the popular television host, Xu Xuan, led the show.
After some simple introductions and promos, the program officially started.
The first to appear were actors from Chen Wenyuâs team, who acted out an idol plot based on an adaptation of the script âLove You.â
It was a love story centered around three energetic girls and two good-looking young men who were working hard to make a living.
Director Chen used a comic and cheerful tone, and abandoned the sly scheming that had been in the production teamâs script. The five hot-blooded youngsters progressed together, and the vitality and sunshine of youth on full display. They were impulsive and rash in handling things, but they knew to learn from their mistakes. They also learned empathy, which gave people a sense of gratification at watching them mature.
On the other hand, Director Qiuâs story had more of the scheming from the script. When everyone saw the people who had done wrong being filled with grief and remorse, they had mixed feelings, and reminded each other to take the lesson to heart.
The two directors emphasized different aspects, but they both skillfully exhibited the spirit of the modern generation. Perhaps one was too perfect while the other was too sly, and both were a little simple, but the two directorsâ capabilities and attention to detail were absolutely flawless.
After the performances were aired, many online users commented:
[Hahaha, arenât Director Chenâs films more arty? Especially the beautiful style in âLegend of the Fox Immortal.â Is it alright to turn an idol drama script into a crack story? Why do I feel like like heâs been led astray?]
[As expected of Director Qiu, he must have conspiracy in his plot! I feel like Iâm watching âManxiang Manorâ all over again. Speaking of which, that vicious second female lead leaves quite a deep impression, hahaha~]
Very quickly, the two directorsâ works were aired. After some simple comments to decided whether their actors would advance or not, it was the turn of the newbie directors.
The first to perform was Qi Yanâs team.
It was an adaptation of the âWho Is the Heroâ crime procedural script provided by the production team.
There were also five people: two police officers, two criminals, and a street thug who had connections with both.
The plot was filled with accidents and coincidences. When the aloof police officer met with the undercover cop posing as a criminal, or the treacherous police officer met with the real criminal, the thug, who was bent on finding the parrot he had raised for years, would inexplicably barge in to disrupt what either party was doing. It looked like there was both good and bad, and there were all sorts of twists and turns.
Of course, the criminal was punished in the end, which pleased everyone, but the police officer was also injured.
After Qi Yanâs team was Lu Anâs team.
