But Sun Yiwu was different!
Sun Yiwu was a director, and he was invited to be a consultant.
Take note: he was to be a consultant, not a judge.
Because this show did not have a judge.
The voting rights were all in the hands of the audience, so the position of the judge was changed to that of a consultant.
After the actors finished performing, the consultants will comment on the actor's performance, pointing out the positives of their performance, what was lacking—the details that some audience members might not notice.
Of course, these things would have a guiding effect on the audience.
But the consultants did not have any voting rights. Aside from leading the audience with words, they did not have real power to influence the competition results.
And so, because of that, whether there were internal workings or not, who wins or loses in the end, it would not have much effect on the consultants.
