The young director Zhang Yuefan had been having a rough time lately.
His previous film "College Entrance Exam! College Entrance Exam! College Entrance Exam!" won Best Special Effects at the Yannan University Student Film Festival, although he had no idea why the jury gave him that award, having it was still better than nothing.
However, at the time of the festival, Lu Ban's "Cry" was also in the running, and winning Best Special Effects in front of "Cry" led many spectators who didn't know the truth to believe that the special effects of "College Entrance Exam! College Entrance Exam! College Entrance Exam!" were incredibly impressive, even outclassing the eye-opening "Cry".
