Chapter 181 - Just Someone Who Makes The Audience Smile
What was happening on Lu An's side in particular was making the rounds online. One stream was full of screaming, and brought online users a lot of joy, while the deplorable behavior in another stream made them furious. This comparison was like between heaven and earth.
Even though Qi Yan's manager had already immediately explained that the people who had posted the comments weren't Qi Yan's fans, the comments had been posted on her live stream, and some people even declared they were her fans in their usernames, so not many online users believed them. Some even disdained them for not admitting it and accused them of trying to push the blame on passers-by.
Qi Yan's face was tense. She was about to explode with anger!
She narrowed her eyes and recalled what Lu An had said before the show's recording. The corners of her lips curled up fiercely.
…
Bystanders online read about the interactions in Lu An's live stream, and some of them even started looking for her live stream, which caused the number of viewers to explode once more. The only cameraman in the room, who was also the main director of Evaluating Actors China, Li Zheng, was even pestered in the comments to follow this or that particular actor.. Li Zheng was utterly exhausted, but suddenly —
A video suspected to be from the show was leaked.
In the video, the four directors sat at a long, rectangular white table. Someone from the production team asked them what a director was.
The first to respond were the two big name directors.
Director Chen said a director was someone who spread art and was good at discovering beauty. They combined their ideas with the right actors and presented whatever they could on screen for everyone to see.
Director Qiu's reply was similar: A director used their most sincere heart to portray the mutability of human nature for everyone. At the same time, he also said that he hoped that his work would allow everyone to experience the mutability of human nature which they weren't aware of.
These two directors were big shots with rich experiences in life and film. Their words and actions matched their portfolio, and made everyone sigh with admiration. Sure enough, the highest accomplishments were never a fluke!
The next to answer were the two newbie directors. The four directors interacted a little on topics related to actors and the audience. This footage was probably going to be edited for use in promo clips. Unexpectedly, it was leaked beforehand.
The newbie director, Qi Yan, replied, "I think a director should be an outstanding leader. They need to have outstanding capability and empathy so that they can spread positive and optimistic thoughts to more people through their work, and thereby improve themself and educate others.
"Of course, I believe that I already have this trait. I will also work hard to become an outstanding director."
As Qi Yan spoke, she emphasized this point confidently and optimistically.
There was basically nothing wrong with her words. It could even be seen from this that she had had an excellent upbringing. She probably had never suffered a setback since she was young.
But when it came to Lu An, things changed.
The little girl pursed her lips, as if she didn't think it was a question worth asking.
Without thinking too much, she answered, "Just… someone who racks their brain? And makes the audience smile."
W- What?
What the heck?
Everyone was befuddled.
The person who leaked this video severely denounced Lu An's lack of respect for the director profession in particular.
There were clearly two heavyweight directors sitting next to her, but she actually didn't have any respect for them at all, and spoke such nonsense?
