The film entries for this festival were basically all candidates, and there weren't many full-length films to begin with, just a few. Most of the awards that they should have gotten were already more or less in hand.
According to Zhang Yuefan's balance theory, anyone could win an award.
Lu Ban, though, wasn't in a hurry.
His goal was to win an award; what kind of award didn't matter. What puzzled him just now was truly why he didn't win the Best Visual Effects award, not any mocking insinuation.
Now, having snagged the Best Actor award, and with the movie's box office earnings already surpassing ten million, completing the mission was more than manageable—winning a few more awards might just improve the mission's evaluation.
"...The above are the nominated works for this Yannan University Student Film Festival. Now, please welcome our festival jury member, Director Tao Ming, to announce the winner of the Best Film grand prize."
