After the roll call, the Mulan Film Festival officially started with its central theme, and the award ceremony began. The competition this time was fierce as there were many good works in the past year, with five contenders for the Best Screenwriter award.
Short clips from each film played on the big screen, and after each one ended, thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Yao Qing remarked with emotion, "After watching these short clips, each is unique in its own way. If I were a judge, I wouldn't know what to do."
"Let's feel sorry for our judges for three seconds. Each year they must kill so many brain cells deciding among a film bounty, and at the same time, let us pay our tribute to our screenwriters."
