The entries for this film festival are basically candidates. There aren’t that many feature films in total, just a few, and they have almost all won the awards they should have won before.

According to Zhang Yuefan's balance theory, anyone could win the prize.

Lu Ban was no longer in a hurry.

His goal was to win an award. It didn't matter what award it was. He was just expressing doubts about why he didn't win the Best Special Effects Award. He wasn't being sarcastic.

Now, Lu Ban has won the Best Actor award and the box office of the movie has already exceeded 10 million, which is more than enough to complete the task. If he wins a few more awards, the evaluation of the task may be better.

"…The above are the candidates for this year's Yannan University Student Film Festival. Now, please invite our film festival judge, Director Tao Ming, to announce the winner of the Best Film Award."

Director Tao Ming is also a gray-haired old man who has made several classic films. Although he no longer directs, he is often active as a producer in various works.

He came to the stage, opened the envelope, and saw the words on it, his face looked a little ugly.

"…The film that won the best film award at this year's Yannan University Student Film Festival is "The Cry."

As soon as he said this, the background changed into scenes from Lu Ban's movie. However, it did not match the festive stage. The scenes seemed eerie and scary. Especially since most of the people present had seen this movie, the horrific memories came to their mind as soon as the scenes appeared, causing people to suffer from PTSD.

Lu Ban realized it later. It was only after Zhang Yuefan next to him reminded him that he walked up to the stage and took the trophy from director Tao Ming.

"Uh, thank you judges. It seems that everyone was not very satisfied with my acceptance speech just now, so I won't say much. That's it."

Lu Ban simply said one sentence, accepted the award and left the stage.

“…”

The scene was a bit awkward for a while.

Director Tao Ming was the first to applaud, and only after talking to the emcee for a while did he manage to save the situation.

“You are amazing.”

Zhang Yuefan said to Lu Ban who was walking down.

"I think I should stay away from you. I've never seen you act like this before. You offended all the judges the first time you went on stage."

"I'm just telling the truth."

Lu Ban replied.

"This can't be told the truth..."

Zhang Yuefan was ashamed.

"But hey, if you have talent you can do whatever you want, right? It seems like the judges aren't too angry."

"As long as the movie is good and interesting, it's fine. Awards are just empty talk."

Lu Ban casually put the two trophies aside.

"Haha, you know, if it weren't for your previous behavior, I would definitely think you were in Versailles now."

Zhang Yuefan said embarrassedly.

…

The broadcast of the award ceremony was quickly forwarded to the Internet.

Lu Ban's eccentric behavior was controversial for a while.

In the community topics, there are two types of comments about him.

[Director Lu Ban is quite interesting, he doesn't follow the beaten path. Indeed, I think his movie should have won the Best Special Effects Award. There must be something fishy going on in this selection! ]

[To be honest, if The Wailing didn't win the Best Special Effects Award, how could other movies win? The College Entrance Examination and the like, it was hard to tell that there were any special effects at all. Isn't this a random review? ]

[My uncle had dinner with the selection committee, and he said that the selection committee felt that the scenes in this movie were all real shots, and it was inappropriate to give the special effects award, so they gave it to another movie.]

[Although I haven't seen this movie yet, I don't think a horror movie can be that good. It can't just scare the timid. I don't accept it winning the Best Picture award.]

[Mainly, other movies either show the confusion and hesitation of contemporary young people, or focus on social issues, but his movie is just a horror movie, which is meaningless! ]

[I think those who praise this movie online are probably just trolls. How can there be a horror movie in this world that can really scare people so much that they dare not leave the cinema? It's too exaggerated! ]

[I heard that some management companies promote popular stars in this way. They first hype up the popularity, then give the stars awards or something to gild them, and then package them and have them appear in other movies. It's outrageous! ]

[No way, no way, there really is no way anyone would be scared to death by a horror movie, you guys are too timid! ]

[I see that The Wailing will be shown in cinemas across the country starting next month. You can go and see how scary this movie is then! ]

Some people feel that Lu Ban should have won more awards and are speaking up for him, some hope that Lu Ban can quickly make a second movie to prove himself, and some feel that Lu Ban does not deserve the reputation he has received and is too outrageous.

It will be divided into these two parts, and the main difference lies in whether you have watched Lu Ban's movies.

Most of the people who have seen the movie support Lu Ban, while those who have not seen the movie have all kinds of doubts.

In fact, this is very normal. Even if others brag about how great something is, if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you will definitely remain skeptical.

There are also some people who, the more others praise something, the more they think there is something wrong with it.

Anyway, Lu Ban’s movie will be released in theaters across the country soon, and everyone will be able to go to the cinema to watch it in person. This debate will definitely come to an end in the end.

After leaving Yannan, Lu Ban finally returned to his warm home.

He placed the two trophies in the cabinet in the living room and turned on the TV.

The news was broadcasting on TV, which was a report about the cruise ship "Stars" that had encountered a storm and fire. There were hundreds of Jiangcheng citizens on this cruise ship, so the local news had been following the report.

Fortunately, when the fire broke out, most of the tourists were in the hotel at the port and there were only a few crew members on the ship, so no major casualties were caused.

However, hundreds of people were trapped on a small island in the Pacific Ocean. The storm was raging and Pohnpei was unable to receive any support from the outside world, which made people even more panic-stricken.

After the news broadcast ended, Lu Ban saw that the text on the TV was distorted and turned into the shape of the system.

A series of characters emerged like condensed ice and snow, forming the cold text of the system.
