“If that’s the case, it’ll be very interesting. Both of them are S-rank players. Previously, they were both from the Bai Ge team. Later on, they even chose the same role. If they can act in the same script this time, it’ll be too much of a coincidence. I think this is even more exciting and exciting than the two of them dating.”
While the netizens were discussing various topics, the screen in the live-stream suddenly lit up. After the opening scene of the variety show and the sponsor’s advertisement were played, a familiar stage appeared in front of the audience.
The emcee was wearing a striped suit today. He stood in the middle of the stage, full of energy. After reading the opening statement in a passionate and full tone, the camera moved away from the emcee and slowly swept across the four directors sitting in the director’s seat.
The process of the third live-stream was relatively simple. The production team would play the short films filmed by the four directors one by one. After each short film was played, the main leads of the short films would appear and have a simple interaction with the emcee. Then, the directors would express their views on the actors’ performance.
After the four short films were broadcasted, there would be a vote on the Internet. The work with the highest votes would become the “golden-medal short film” of the third episode. After the live-stream ended, the production team would play the “golden-medal short film” on the homepage of the video website. The lead actor of the “golden-medal short film” would also have a chance to become the honorary spokesperson of the production team’s sponsored brand.
Accordingly, the director of “Golden-medal Short Films” will also be named “Golden Director”.
After the emcee announced the process and voting rules for this episode, the netizens in the live-stream could not wait.
The scene in the live-stream dimmed bit by bit. Then, a few flashbacks appeared on the screen. With the sound of a vase falling to the ground, all the images shattered, and a woman’s face appeared in front of the audience.
The first movie to be played was Director Shire’s work, Elegy.
The film tells the story of a once-loving and sweet school couple who, after graduation, face real-world pressure to find a job and their parents urge them to get married. Gradually, their relationship changes.
Director Shire displayed the process of love withering with a unique and delicate perspective. The tone of the entire short film was oppressive and sad. In the end, the protagonist of the story cried and roared, “Why? Where’s love?
Where’s our love?”
As the music played in the background, countless viewers felt as if something had shattered in their hearts.
As a realistic short film, Director Shire hit the audience’s sore spot. It was a short 20-minute film with a tight plot, reasonable twists, and deep conflicts.
After the movie ended, a film critic with an official certification label immediately commented on the social media platform, “Shire’s ability to dig up realism has improved greatly again. This short film is not only a love dirge, but also an elegy of the times. In this fast-paced era, we have gained a lot, but what have we lost? This is worth thinking about.”
On the real-time hot topic list, Shire’s short film quickly caused a heated discussion among many netizens.
“l cried when I saw it. I thought of my ex-boyfriend and me. We used to love each other very much, but in the end, we still lost to reality.”
“Where’s love? Where’s our love? When the female lead said this, I felt terrible. I seem to have lost the ability to love someone. I don’t understand why. This short film is too depressing. I don’t like it very much, but I have to say that Director Shire is really amazing.”
“Unfortunately, the acting skills of the male and female leads are still a little rusty. I feel that if it were Lu Zhen or Yang Na acting, they would be even more infectious. Don’t scold me. I’m not a fan of these two. I’m just evaluating them from the perspective of acting.”
“I’m looking forward to the next few short films more and more. This season’s Celebrity Performance Class is really too good. It’s been a long time since I’ve devoted myself to watching a variety show! ”
There was no doubt that Shire’s short film was a success. The applause of the event location audience and the comments of the netizens showed this.
At the event location, the emcee interacted with the audience in the live broadcast room in real time. Director Shire also saw the netizens’ evaluation of this movie and could not help but smile in relief.
It had to be said that the live-stream form of this season’s Celebrity Performance Class had greatly enhanced the interaction between actors, directors, and audience. This immediate feedback mechanism had also increased the enthusiasm of netizens..
