Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 99 99. The clown is actually me?
At the scene, everyone calmed down for nearly 10 minutes before coming out of their emotions.

David was the first to stand up and applaud, shouting "Hello!"
Jessica also stood up, and Andrew followed him even reluctantly.

This was followed by warm applause from the entire audience, one after another like a tidal wave.

Host Kelly walked onto the stage with red eyes. Just as she was about to speak, her tone choked up again and she could only take a deep breath to calm down.

"I must say, this is the most touching work I have ever seen. Director Chen Li, thank you." Kelly bowed slightly to Chen Li in the audience.

Chen Li smiled back.

Now that both parties have shown their respective short films, the remaining part is for the live judges and a thousand lucky viewers to vote to determine the winner.

Kelly invited the two directors to come on stage, but when Chen Li went up, there was still no sight of Rice.

Everyone looked towards the seats in the front row and saw that the Lesian was already in a state of confusion, and his face was constantly changing, sometimes distorted, sometimes angry.

What about the crude short film that was promised?
What about the digression you promised?
What about the person who promised to be compared with him?
Why has everything changed?He turned out to be a clown! ?
Rice wanted to spit out his knowledge. He had been in Hollywood for many years and had made more than a dozen movies. He was also someone who had seen big scenes. But today, he was really shocked.

What level is this?What kind of strength is this?
The short film was more than half as short as his, the mood was more natural than his, and the theme completely blew him away.

Les's years of pride were shattered, but he was not convinced because romantic films were not his area of ​​expertise.

It must be the subject matter that makes me shy away!

There is no way he could lose to a Xia Guo filmmaker! !

"Director Rice? Please come on stage." Kelly reminded again.

Les came back to his senses and found that everyone was looking at him. He gritted his teeth and strode onto the stage.

He exchanged glances with Andrew at the judges' table.

The matter is not over yet, my work is definitely not bad, and with Andrew’s help, I may not lose!
"Now the audience is asked to pick up the voting machines on their seats and start voting. During this period, the three judges are asked to make comments and cast their votes."

One vote in the hands of the judges is equivalent to two hundred votes, which plays a decisive role in the final result of the votes!
Andrew was the first to speak, and he said with a smile: "Both directors are undoubtedly very talented, and they actually presented such completely different works at the same time, but I must say, I still prefer Rice's work."

"The plot is fuller and the narrative structure is clearer. It is a very complete work. On the other hand, Chen Li's film starts and ends suddenly. It has a more personal style, but I don't like it, so I will give this vote to Les."

David shook his head after hearing this: "My point of view is opposite to that of Director Andrew. In my opinion, although Rice's work is complete, whether it is the plot design or the ups and downs of the story, it is completely Hollywood stuff. It is too stereotyped. You can almost tell the result at a glance.”

"But that's not the case with Chen Li's short film. He boldly uses zombie elements, but only as an introduction. Instead, it contrasts the sincere love of humans with the bloody nature of zombies. What a great concept!"

"But the most amazing thing is that it didn't deliberately sensationalize, and it was very restrained. Even, I don't know if you noticed it, there are no lines in the whole film, and the theme of silence is implemented throughout."

"It is such a natural and lyrical expression that can most touch the soft parts of people's hearts. This is also the fundamental reason why we are most shocked. Therefore, I will give this vote to Chen Li."

David is worthy of being the No. 1 judge at this year's Cannes. What he said was well-founded and his analysis and interpretation made the audience suddenly realize.

"So it is!"

"Yeah, he reminded me. He really didn't even have a single line. It's amazing!"

"Although the short film made me red-eyed, watching Chen Li almost made me cry blind."

"It's true that the traces of the Hollywood industry are too obvious. As a person who has watched Yingjiang since childhood, I still feel that it is too old-fashioned."

"Of course I choose Chen Li, the difficulty level is beyond Les's."

In the auditorium, the foreigner who had refuted Lin Xiyue before was already solemnly apologizing to her. He was crying very awkwardly just now, with tears streaming down his face. If Lin Xiyue hadn't handed him a paper, his clothes would have been wet. . "Miss, you are right. Director Chen Li is truly a miracle worker. I am sorry for my previous recklessness."

Lin Xiyue smiled brightly and did not answer.

In her opinion, this matter is too natural. As long as anyone has read Chen Li's works, who will not be conquered?
Rice didn't look very good. He felt that he and Chen Li should have a [-]-[-] score in the audience votes. Now that the two judges each cast a vote, the remaining vote became crucial.

Kelly smiled and said: "Thank you Director Andrew and David for your comments and votes. Then, Director Jessica, what do you support?"

Jessica didn't hesitate at all and directly pressed the voting button for Chen Li.

"As a director, the difficulty is actually not to enrich the elements. In my opinion, addition is easy. Everyone can dazzle with dazzling skills, but subtraction is difficult."

"This involves whether the director has a sharp vision and can express his theme with the most accurate content. I have to say that Director Chen Li taught me a lesson about this!"

"While others were working hard to create an atmosphere and add tearful lines, Director Chen Li went in the opposite direction and showed a purer emotional expression."

As she said that, she seemed to think of something, and her eyes turned red again: "Sorry, I think of my deceased father! Thank you Director Chen Li!"

After listening to the comments of the three judges, the audience burst into warm applause again.

Host Kelly took the microphone and prepared to announce the voting results under the spotlight.

Les's eyes were wide open, staring at the big screen behind him, not daring to blink.

"Can win! Can win! Let me win!!" His voice was low, like the roar of a wild beast.

Chen Li looked at him and said calmly: "Les, don't think too much, unless I want you to win, otherwise you will never win in your life."

Rice's face was distorted and he whispered angrily: "Let your mother go."

Before we finish talking, the big screen data is announced!
Chen Li 1339 votes vs Rice 261 votes.

Nearly 6 times the difference! !
Les' pupils shrank suddenly and he took a few steps back in disbelief.

"Impossible!! There must be a mistake!! There is something wrong with the data!!" Les roared.

In his opinion, even if there is a gap, it is only a few dozen votes. How is this nearly a thousand votes possible?

Kelly was about to go crazy when she saw Rice. She knew that the director had a bad temper, so she quickly reassured him: "Director Rice, the statistics on site are completely transparent. There is no possibility of data errors or secret operations."

Rice was about to get angry when he suddenly heard a crowd of people in the audience booing, expressing protest and dissatisfaction with him.

"What, you can't afford it? Don't play it if you can't afford it!"

"Although your shots are good, they are still worse than Chen Li's."

"I just said this person has no good character!"

He suddenly realized that he was here to get rid of the scandal, but he could no longer keep himself in the dark, so he gritted his teeth to calm down his anger.

Seeing that he calmed down, Kelly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly started the next session.

“Let’s ask Director Jessica to draw the theme for the next round of competition for us!!”
