Chapter 69: The Third Round: Femme Fatale

"It's so explosive!"

“Why is it different from what I imagined?”

"Shouldn't Li Qing be a quiet and kind person? Why the hell is he like a dragon-subduing arhat?"

"What if he is this kind of person?"

"So cool, this is worthy of the title of God Fist!"

"Yes! I think that when his dragon power reaches its peak, he can even compete with some darkborn god."

"Just keep me silent."

After reading the previous story, the audience was still immersed in some indescribable emotions.

But the last paragraph was written.

Pulled them out of it by force.

After everyone has finished discussing, they begin to carefully recall every detail that happened before.

Ever since Li Qing first killed bandits in the name of his magic fist, his image of bravery and might has taken root in everyone's heart.

Then he went back to his childhood and went to Wushuoji Temple alone to seek help.

At that time, he was arrogant and conceited, paranoid and arrogant, and only wanted to pursue the limits of speed and strength.

Not only did he secretly learn the secret techniques, but he also arrogantly injured the respected mentor, thus committing a serious mistake and being expelled from the monastery.

After experiencing sin and setbacks, he began to repent and atone, learned to restrain his edge, and gradually became steady and mature.

Until the end, he went through thousands of hardships and in order to protect his hometown and compatriots, he was willing to sacrifice his eyes to summon the power of the dragon.

After reading Li Qing's story, most of the audience gradually recalled their own past that they did not want to recall.

Although they are not as talented as Li Qing in some aspects, they have all been arrogant and rebellious due to their youthfulness and have made many mistakes.

It can be said that Li Qing's process of changing from arrogance to restrained maturity aroused great empathy among them.

At the same time, they also felt sorry for Li Qing who eventually became blind.

Perhaps the stories written by Su Xinghe will never have a happy ending.

But compared to before, it’s much better.

Jury seat.

After reading the whole story, Liu Ciping was still the first to express his opinion:

“Although this story is also mixed with some sad tones, the final ending is still positive and peaceful. This time it is plain and moving.”

Chen Kaige nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, the story smoothly describes the character training process of the protagonist Li Qing. His initial character problems are actually the driving force behind his growth."

"A arrogant young man who thinks he is smart and superior to others eventually grows up to be a peerless monk with responsibility and dedication."

“This back-and-forth change makes the character full of tension.”

Jiang Tao also showed appreciation:
"I prefer this plain style of painting. Although it does not have too many fancy words and exaggerated descriptions, it is deeply rooted in people's hearts."

“Especially the scenes where Lee Sin and Udyr meet and embark on a journey, which are very atmospheric. This style allows people to feel the impact and appeal of the story in a calm manner.”

Finally, it was Mr. Jin’s turn. His comments were few, but as always, they were insightful:
"He knows how to change his narrative style in time to fit the overall tone of the story. It can be seen that Su Xinghe has a strong understanding and control over his story ideas."

As the stage prompt sounded.

At this point, the second round of competition ended successfully.

As before, the contestants were called to the center of the stage for the judges' final comments and scoring.

"Ouch, why are you sweating so much?"

Sa Xiaoning came out from behind the scenes and saw the contestants sweating and looking haggard.

There's no reason to make a joke.

Hear this.

Everyone glanced at him sideways, showing resentful expressions, and at the same time complained in their hearts.

Why are we sweating so much?

What do you think?

In just three days, you have to write three stories on the same topic. Would you like to try?

Is your organizer suffering from any serious illness?
Although everyone was complaining in their hearts, no one dared to say it out loud.

After all, they are still afraid of being framed.

"Okay, it's just a joke. Don't take it seriously, and don't diss me in your heart." Sa Xiaoning chuckled.

"Without further ado, let's start the final scoring phase of this round."

"First, let's look at the live broadcast room's three-day average popularity ranking. Please look at the big screen!"

It was no different from the first round.

Su Xinghe's live broadcast popularity firmly defends his top position with a crushing performance.

Finally, when the judges commented.

Su Xinghe also explained his presentation of the theme.

"In the first half of the story, the world in Li Qing's eyes is bright, but his heart is dark, which is his character problem."

"As the story progresses, his heart gradually emerges from the dark haze. In the end, in the defense of the Silana Monastery, the world in his eyes becomes dark, but his heart is redeemed by light."

"that is it."

"It's very simple and straightforward." Although Su Xinghe himself thought it was simple and straightforward, the judges and the audience did not think so.

Because his idea and perspective were something that not only had they never thought of before, but none of the contestants on the scene had thought of it either.

Although "Light and Dark" refers to visual brightness and inner good and evil, the fact that it can be expressed in a growth story is enough to show its innovation and novelty.

As for Su Xinghe's three stories, the judges gave them an extremely high average score of 9.72.

The second place Sun Changqing only scored 9.06 points, which shows the huge gap.

This round of competition ended with 32 players eliminated.

After that, the players have nearly a week of rest.

Su Xinghe was not idle either.

He used the remaining bonus from the last live broadcast to buy a computer with decent configuration, as well as some paper and tools for script writing.

Then, every day at leisure.

Based on the fragmentary memories in his mind, he wrote down the League's more classic hero stories and CG animations in the form of scripts.

In order to gain more attention, the first script he wrote was:
"The Broken Curse: Legend of the Black Mist"

It combines the subsequent stories of Viego and the official CG of Curse of the Ruin, and mainly tells the story of the soul-eating night when the black fog of Viego invades various places.

After finishing writing, he anonymously contacted several well-known animation companies online and got a preliminary understanding of the market price for customized scripts.

The other party stated that the quotation was based on a comprehensive consideration of factors such as the complexity of the script, the length of the film, and the author's fame.

In addition, prices will be divided into different levels according to quality and picture quality.

Su Xinghe thought about it and decided not to have any further discussions with them for the time being.

He felt that producing animation based solely on the script was a bit abstract, and he was not confident in handing it over to those companies.

And if he can supervise the production personally, the final effect can be guaranteed.

To realize this wish, we must win the highest prize in this competition.

What a coincidence.

When he accidentally told Ye Chuyi about this idea, she said she could help.

She said that her cousin happened to own an animation studio that was not doing well, and if the negotiations went well, she could help him acquire it.

Su Xinghe was both grateful and expectant about this.

The week flew by.

Soon it was time for the third round of competition.

On that day, Su Xinghe arrived at the competition venue early.

This time, the top 32 teams advance to the top 16, and the competition format seems to be different from before.

Because the number of people has been greatly reduced, the rule this time is that the contestants take turns to perform on stage.

The contestants have one day to conceive and create. Once written, their stories will be automatically stored by the computer and then projected in order by drawing lots for the audience and judges to comment on.

Su Xinghe drew number 30, which was the last one.

After Sa Xiaoning came on stage, he started drawing the theme for this round of competition.

Countless thematic words scrolled across the big screen.

As Sa Xiaoning gave the command to "stop", a wonderful word popped up.

【Femme Fatale】

See the title.

Su Xinghe couldn't hold back at all.

What the hell?
Femme Fatale?!
Are you sure you are not kidding? ! !

The whole audience exploded in an uproar.

"Damn it, is it so exciting?"

"Oh my goodness, is this exciting?!"

"NB, Xiao Sa is awesome!!"

"Hehe, I like it."

"Look, one contestant's face is red all the way to his neck."

Even a few judges looked away, unable to bear to watch.

But the subject has been made public and there is no possibility of changing it.

After a brief uproar, everyone started to have troubles again.

Su Xinghe searched his brain.

think carefully.

Hey, there really is!
The one who combines beauty and temptation
Silver wire coiled.
【Hello, baby! 】

[I have never seen a beauty like you.]

【You are so sweet, your words are so sweet. 】

[Mrs. Iris, please take me home.]

[Don't worry, you look delicious~]
