171: Sorry, I've graduated.

Today's votes would be added to previous scores, and Carter didn't know if she could pull off a comeback in just one night.

She nervously looked down at the stage, where four or five people were holding cameras and filming.

Some were from school clubs and the student council, while others appeared to be members of the public.

These people had been hired by Magic Paradise to promote tonight's competition.

One person's camera was running a live stream, and the number of viewers had already reached 4 million.

Seeing these figures, the employee in charge of the live stream was stunned. He didn't understand; wasn't this just a school prom? Although the school was famous, how could there be such high traffic?

It could only be said that Lu Qingyu had done a good job with the preliminary marketing; he had whetted everyone's appetite with this event, and many people were waiting for the outcome.

At this moment, the screen on the auditorium stage displayed the previous scores of the seven competing groups.

For the top six, the score difference between any two adjacent contestants was within 500 points; only Carter was different.

She was 810 points behind the person ahead of her.

After the votes were tallied, the new scores began to be announced.

Anna knew that Carter's performance today was better than her own, but she still had over 9,000 more points than Carter, so surely she would still be the final champion.

But when the scores on the screen refreshed again, Anna's avatar dropped from first to second place, and the person who replaced her as number one was Carter.

16,356 points!

Carter covered her mouth in excitement, tears streaming down her face. Oh my god, she had succeeded.

Roy: "Ahhh, Carter, Carter, Carter!"

Anna felt like she had been struck by lightning; she had lost, she had completely lost.

Carter walked up to Anna: "Sorry, the campus queen title is mine."

Anna did not apologize to Carter as agreed and left in resentment.

But it didn't matter; she didn't need it anymore.

Carter was surrounded by the crowd, and just as everyone was looking for Lu Qingyu, they discovered that he had already left at some point.

Carter won the competition, and avatar gained a wave of popularity. Two days later, Carter joined the crew, and avatar started filming.

After this incident, everyone became curious about Lu Qingyu. He became someone many people wanted to befriend, and many girls put him on their "must-get" list, only to realize there was no chance.

Lu Qingyu had enough credits, so he applied for early assessment. With only two-thirds of the semester passed, Lu Qingyu graduated.

In the morning, Su Jixing went to work as usual, and after ten o'clock, Lu Qingyu also arrived.

Su Jixing: ???

It wasn't the weekend, so why did Lu Qingyu come at this time?

"Boss, why are you here?"

Lu Qingyu walked around to the other side of the desk to look at the documents Su Jixing was processing: "Nothing, just came to take a look."

Su Jixing chuckled. A while back, Lu Qingyu had been studying day and night, so he wanted to tease him:

"Boss, did you finish your homework, complete your courses, and get enough credits?"

He had expected Lu Qingyu to sigh and complain a little about the heavy workload, but Lu Qingyu said nonchalantly:

"I've already graduated, didn't you know?"

Su Jixing's brain froze for three seconds. The word "graduated" took a while to process in his mind before he understood what it actually meant.

When Su Jixing understood what Lu Qingyu meant by graduating, his face was left with only disbelief.

What happened? How did he suddenly graduate?

"Boss, how did you graduate?"

Lu Qingyu: "Naturally, I graduated once I had enough credits."

Su Jixing (shocked JPG): "But from the start of school until now, it's only been a little over two months. You earned enough credits in such a short time?"

Lu Qingyu: "How much longer would it take? I especially regret not taking mathematics. If I had chosen mathematics, I think I could have graduated even earlier."

Su Jixing suddenly remembered a friend's child who went abroad to study and had to delay graduation because of a heavy course load.

It really is true that comparing people to one another is terrifying!

However, Su Jixing was also very happy, because Lu Qingyu graduating meant they could return to their home country.

Su Jixing: "When are we returning home?"

Lu Qingyu: "We'll leave after the filming of avatar is finished and it has been released."

Su Jixing felt wonderful inside; the progress of avatar was very fast, and they would be able to return home before long.

The filming of avatar was proceeding very smoothly, and Hans was working quite hard to repay Lu Qingyu.

As the team leader, Avis initially thought Hans was a novice, but after seeing the empty shots of avatar and some conceptual animals that Hans had envisioned, he was completely won over.

Two months later, avatar finished filming and was about to be released.

Before the release, as per convention, film critics and others from the film industry were invited to the premiere.

Magic Paradise invited quite a few people this time, booking three screening halls and inviting over a hundred film critics.

However, everyone came with the attitude of wanting to see a show.

Recently, avatar had been quite popular. During its promotion, it dubbed itself the best science fiction film, with an investment of over 500 million. However, looking at the films Magic Paradise had produced in the past, not a single one was worth showing off.

And the cast of this drama was even more indescribable.

On the day of the premiere, the screening hall was packed with people.

Everyone was holding a pair of 3D glasses in their hands.

The technology of 3D had already been applied to quite a few films, but the results were average, and people's acceptance of 3D films was not very high.

Klaus sat in the first row, holding his glasses without putting them on.

His computer was right by his side; he had come to watch the film today mainly to capitalize on the hype.

There were too few movies on the market recently; it was the off-season, and they were running out of things to write about.

No one had any expectations for the film avatar, and they even vaguely felt it was a bad movie, but its popularity was very high.

The production team of avatar was too high-profile in their promotion of this film; they couldn't help but wait for the premiere so they could write articles to slap avatar in the face.

At 8:20, the premiere time for avatar arrived, the cinema lights were turned off, and the film officially began.

At the beginning of the story, humans flew to the distant planet Pandora to mine resources. Jack, a former Marine who used a wheelchair after being injured, volunteered for an experiment and arrived on Pandora in his avatar form.

However, after getting to know the local Na'vi princess, Neytiri, Jack found himself caught in a dilemma during a war between humans and the residents of Pandora.

The beginning of the story piqued everyone's curiosity, and the audience, who had originally held no expectations for the film, slowly became immersed in the story.

And what shocked everyone the most were all the special effects of the planet Pandora.

"God, this is so beautiful."

"Oh my god, these special effects are so well done."

"I really want to live on planet Pandora."

"This film is so wonderfully produced."

Klaus heard the exclamations of the people around him and couldn't help but frown.

He admitted that the film's plot was not bad, and the concept regarding planet Pandora and the human planet was quite interesting, but this planet Pandora didn't seem as beautiful as he had imagined.

He looked at the screen displaying the movie; the production seemed rather careless, the clarity was not high, and this level of special effects was too far from what they had advertised.

Klaus couldn't help muttering: "You guys didn't take money, did you, to praise this film against your conscience like this?"

A lady sitting next to him, who was assumed to have taken money, turned her head and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"Can you put on your 3D glasses before you speak?"
