The emcee smiled at the two of them. “The two of you shouldn’t praise each other. You performed brilliantly together and touched Director Shire and many viewers. I just saw that many viewers cried at the end.”

As the emcee spoke, Shire, who had calmed down, turned to Bai Ge and said, “You’re really lucky. Not only is Lu Zhen’s acting good, but she also has creative talent. ”

The three simple scenes designed by Lu Zhen displayed the plot and character’s personality very well. Shire had transitioned from an actor to a director and acutely saw Lu Zhen’s talent as a screenwriter.

More importantly, Lu Zhen was not even 20 years old this year. She was so young but so outstanding. Her future was simply limitless.

Bai Ge touched his protruding beer belly and revealed a calm smile. “It seems that the title of the most discerning director will fall on me this time.”

There was competition among the celebrity students, and the production team had also set up a gimmick for the directors. Of course, the four famous directors would not really take it to heart. They were just cooperating with the production team and pretending to have internal competition to make the audience watch more interestingly.

“What do you mean by having discerning eyes? Anyone with eyes can tell how outstanding Lu Zhen is, okay?” At this point, Shire suddenly paused and looked at someone sitting beside her from the corner of her eye.

Shire suddenly remembered that Wei Ji, the other famous director among the four of them, had not shown Lu Zhen the light in the first round of selection, causing her to not win the “Grand Slam” of all the directors.

So, if Wei Ji had heard that, he might have thought Shire was saying that he had no discerning eye. Shire smiled awkwardly and sat up straight. She stole a glance at Wei Ji and found that Wei Ji still looked listless, as if he had just woken up.

From the start of the first episode until now, Wei Ji had remained silent like an outsider.

Some viewers in the live-stream also noticed Wei Ji’s negative performance. A netizen joked, “Director Wei, if you’re kidnapped by the production team to participate in this show, blink and tell us.”

Shire was not too surprised by Wei Ji’s silence. The director’s circle was neither big nor small. She had a certain understanding of Wei Ji and knew that this famous director had a very strange temper.

Speaking of Wei Ji, Shire thought of a hidden rumor she had heard before.

It was said that Wei Ji had been preparing to make a new movie in the past few years. However, because his movie had never been popular in the market and was quite conscious, it was very difficult for the audience to understand. Therefore, almost no investors were willing to invest in his new movie, let alone find a popular actor to join.

This situation was quite awkward for a big director like Wei Ji. A genius director who was once known as the Light of Domestic Movies was now having difficulties preparing a new movie. It sounded ironic.

Shire suspected that Wei Ji had no choice but to participate in this show. He needed a certain amount of exposure to let the investors see that he was still a valuable director. At the same time, he might have thought of choosing actors for his new movie.

The celebrity students who participated in this show all had their own selfish motives. Naturally, the directors were not here to do charity. It was normal to pursue benefits.

But wasn’t Wei Ji too passive in the first episode? Shire was even worried that after the first episode ended, the director would talk to Wei Ji.

After all, he couldn’t let Wei Ji become a silent mascot of the show.

On stage, after the emcee finished speaking, he invited the four directors to evaluate.

The rating criteria were for the four directors to grade and then take the average score. The average score above 90 was S-grade, between 80 to 90 was A-grade, between 70 to 80 was B-grade, and below 70 was C-grade.

The four directors wrote their scores on the whiteboard with black pens and showed their scores at the same time.

Before this, other than Wei Ji, the other directors had given scores above 90 points. Only Director Wei Ji had not given scores above 80 points.

He was like an extremely picky gourmet. He did not see the merits of every actor, but the shortcomings and flaws. Then, he would deduct points based on the shortcomings and flaws without pity.

Wei Ji’s scoring style also caused a heated discussion among the audience in the live-stream..
