Jiang Yang quickly talked about the format of tonight's competition:
"After each short film, the 1,000 judges present will make their choice and vote for the actor or actress who most impressed you. If no one has any, you can abstain."
"I think everyone should have seen the row of stars on my right."
The camera immediately turned to the row of guest seats consisting of stars, directors, and screenwriters.
"Teacher Jiang, my cousin and also my goddess." Jiang Yang waved towards Jiang Biyun.
"Helian Bei, my idol!" Pang Li shouted immediately as if to answer.
Lin Xuan'er was sitting between the two of them at the moment, feeling enormous pressure.
She suddenly felt that she might as well have performed a show in the first place!
Jiang Biyun looked at Lin Xuan'er tenderly, casually placing her hand on her shoulder. "This dress is quite beautiful. Who designed it?"
Lin Xuan'er immediately sat up straight, as if she had been called by the head teacher in class.
Hearing her fluently pronounce the designer's difficult English name, Helian Bei beside her smiled: "Teacher Jiang, look, Xuan'er is sweating."
"Ouch." Jiang Biyun immediately took out a pack of scented tissues from her bag. "Wipe it off. Don't be nervous. I'm not a man-eating monster. When I was your age, I hadn't even entered the entertainment industry yet!"
Helian Bei also looked over curiously. After all, he was just like Yue Shao and the other three, all of them became famous at a young age.
"Teacher Jiang, can you tell me more?" Lin Xuan'er subconsciously stuck out her tongue.
"Of course." Jiang Biyun shook her hair. "At that time, I was just a female worker in a textile factory. I lived a pretty good life. Later, when I followed my boss to Beijing, I met a scout who wanted to hire me to act in a movie."
"So you're going?" Lin Xuan'er asked.
"How could that be?" Jiang Biyun smiled. "I thought he was a scammer and even begged my colleagues to get rid of him. Later, he chased us to our factory and brought us a formal contract with the official seal. Only then did I believe him. And then, I got involved in the scam."
"I know what's next," Yu Lina, who sat to Jiang Biyun's right, suddenly spoke up. She was a bit younger than Jiang Biyun, but she was also a big star, always bringing the show to any occasion. But she hadn't expected Jiang Biyun to keep chatting with Lin Xuan'er, leaving her aside.
Yu Lina didn't want to get angry with Lin Xuan'er, but she also had to make her presence felt: "Didn't I become famous all over the country thanks to that movie?"
"You too," Jiang Biyun smiled at Yu Lina, putting her mouth close to her ear, creating an atmosphere of two sisters whispering. This scene was of course captured by the photographer. "Back then, you played a supporting role in it, but you ended up stealing the show from the female lead."
"Not at all." Yu Lina puffed out her chest. She really liked the comment. She had no shame about her supporting role debut; after all, she was much more famous now than the leading actress back then. "It was just good luck."
Lin Xuan'er nodded and smiled from time to time. She knew that in such situations, the less she said, the safer she would be. She turned her head and glanced at Ling Hu, who was sitting not far away. She felt a little regretful that she should have gone to see him.
But she didn't know that Ling Hu didn't envy her. To Ling Hu's right was Yang Yi, and to his left was a director he didn't know well. Both of them were taciturn, so Ling Hu could only focus on the stage. At least Lin Xuan'er could still listen to gossip about female celebrities!
After Pang Li and Jiang Yang introduced the guests, they continued:
"Our 20 guests also have the right to vote. After each short film, please choose your favorite actor or actress. You can also abstain from voting. Each guest vote is equivalent to 10 votes from the public jury."
Jiang Yang pointed at the four directors at this time:
"Our four directors will have a chance to weigh their votes tonight. Now, please make your choice and write down the actor's name on the piece of paper in front of you. The total number of votes this actor receives from the public judges and guests will be used to add 10% to the total."
As soon as this rule was announced, fans and passers-by watching the show looked up.
A 10% bonus is quite a lot, and it will probably directly affect the ranking.
And the best part is that each director can only have one weighted actor.
Except for Chang Tiesheng who quickly wrote down the actors' names, the other three directors were all confused.
After all, except for Chang Tiesheng, the other three directors all had two actors advance to the finals.
The pen in Zhou Yiyang's hand was suspended in the air. Between Luo Chen and Su Yin, he chose Su Yin, who was more likely to win the championship.
He believed that Luo Chen would definitely understand him.
Luo Chen and Su Yin sat in the backstage, and neither of them avoided the topic.
"Who do you think Brother Yang will choose?" Su Yin asked with her head tilted.
"It must be you." Luo Chen looked at Su Yin firmly. "I'm not being modest. I thought you acted better when we were filming."
"Okay," Su Yin sat up straight and said honestly, "If it's really me, then I hope I can win the championship for our group. If that doesn't work, runner-up would be fine too."
"Pfft," Luo Chen couldn't help laughing. "That doesn't sound impressive at all. We just want the championship!"
Zhang Yingyuan pondered for a moment and made a decision.
Between Tang Yue and Qi Yuehong, he chose the latter.
The most conflicted one is Yu Lian. There is not much difference between the two contestants who advanced with her this time in terms of strength, qualifications or popularity.
She also felt that the two performed equally well in their works in the finals.
She has no idea who will be liked by the audience.
In the end, Yu Lian used the most traditional and direct method of judgment and chose the one with relatively higher appearance.
