Translator: Henyee Translations      Editor: Henyee Translations

Such a hot topic immediately attracted many netizens to discuss. Everyone was eager to speak. If they saw someone who had different thoughts, they would attack them without hesitation.

Those marketing accounts who were afraid that the online environment would not be chaotic enough were extremely happy when they saw the popularity. They decided to take advantage of this variety show’s broadcast to make use of the conflict between Lu Zhen and Lu Rou to increase the popularity of their accounts.

The marketing account understood the netizens’ psychology very well. Didn’t everyone go online to watch the commotion? What was the point of a peaceful entertainment industry? It would be best if they could see intense conflicts every day.

After the celebrities appeared on the red carpet, the camera changed and the scene returned to the broadcasting hall.

After the emcee in a suit finished reciting a long list of brand sponsor advertisements, he announced that this season’s Celebrity Performance Class would officially start broadcasting!

The lights at the event location flickered and gorgeous music sounded. Following the emcee’s introduction, the four directors sat in the director’s seat one by one. The first episode’s flying guests also sat beside the director’s seat.

Director Han Chi, who was on the far left, was 46 years old this year. He was a writer and was the leader of domestic literary films. His works had been nominated for international awards many times. His camera language was filled with artistic beauty, and his narrative structure was unique.

The second director, Bai Ge, was 60 years old this year. “Dongfeng” made him famous worldwide and became a top director. Although he did not have any other works that surpassed “Dongfeng”, his position in the director’s world was still unshakable.

The third director, Shire, was a famous female director who had risen in recent years. She was an actress and was once one of the most popular female celebrities in the country. Later, she switched to directing. Her film about youth and love had set a new box office record in the country. At the same time, her participation in the female documentary was also widely praised.

The fourth director was the most controversial and youngest. His name was

Wei Ji. He was 36 years old this year. When he was 20 years old, he made a

four-hour low-cost road movie. With its unique originality, amazing imagination, and dreamy colors, it became a masterpiece in the hearts of countless people. It was called the final form of a road movie.

Later on though, Wei Ji seemed to have fallen into a difficult situation where his talent was exhausted. The few movies he filmed were mediocre. The audience even said that they were “inexplicable”, “boring”, and “not even comparable to commercial movies.”

Sitting beside the director’s seat was one of the top screenwriters in the country, Jiang Tao. He was the screenwriter of many popular political and commercial dramas.

From the lineup of the director and the flying guests, it could be seen that the production team was determined to do this show well.

After the emcee introduced the identities of the four directors and flying guests, the huge screen at the event location began to play the personal information and highlights of the celebrity students.

As an actor, the content of a short film is usually the highlight of an actors acting career, an idol’s background, and the short film represents charm or personal achievement on the stage

After every five short videos, the five celebrity students would walk from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. After the students introduced themselves, the four directors could choose whether to choose one of the five celebrity students to join their team.

In the first episode, each director had seven “student spots”. They could choose seven celebrity students they liked or admired to join their team. The selected celebrity students could obtain additional points in the second episodes elimination round.

The celebrity students appeared one by one. Among the students who appeared, a few familiar faces appeared.

“Hello, directors. My name is Erin. I used to be an idol. Now that I’m on this show, I hope I can walk out of my comfort zone and challenge myself!” Aileen, who was dressed in matching colors, revealed a sweet smile. Her voice was full of energy, and it was easy for people to like her.

But after she introduced herself, the four directors reacted calmly. Except for Shire, who nodded slightly and asked Erin a few questions, the others had no intention of communicating with her.

The directors’ coldness dealt a blow to Erin. She was considered a popular female idol in the country. When has she ever been ignored like this?

Erin’s smile collapsed. Seeing that none of the directors had chosen her to join the team, she walked off the stage with a stiff expression.. If not for her manager’s repeated reminders before she went on stage, Erin would have turned around and left the recording hall immediately!
