The video starts playing,

The camera begins with a few seconds of the cold girl in a wheelchair on the cover.

After giving a close-up of the impressive girl on the cover, the screen slowly goes out, inserting the personal logo of "Mr. Hyperion" and links to shopping websites.

Uncle Sakai's family was already looking for a relatively secluded café to sit in in the calligraphy and painting night market.

Tsunamasa Sakai took out his phone and opened a browser plug-in in his favorites.

He leaned his phone against the coffee cup next to the iPad that was playing a video.

As you sync with the progress of the video, comments immediately start to appear on your phone's screen and update line by line.

This is a chat room plugin.

Different scripts have different characteristics.

When people read and scroll barrage, it is due to reading habits and sentence length.

Language systems that use words as subunits of sentences, whether it is the European and American Latin alphabet or the Russian Hillier alphabet, are difficult to read through horizontal barrage.

Whether it's a live stream or a live commentary, it can only be played in a separate list on the right side of the video via a browser plug-in.

Some content-rich side chat room software can also manually add Reddit, Twitter, and other discussion forum functions similar to Tieba.

“That girl is gorgeous!lol……“

(The young lady on the cover is so beautiful!) Haha, does anyone know who she is? Does she have an INS account? ）

(It seems that there is a problem with the leg, so pitiful.) ）

(I think this sister is more beautiful this way, like Venus with a broken arm, and I declare that I am in love.) ）

(Bro, why I feel like you're going to fall in love with any pretty girl in your field of vision.) ）

(Aura!) The key is aura! This feeling of majesty and coldness, I almost felt like seeing the principal of our girls' school. ）

(Please, get to know your headmaster!) ）

……

Almost only a few seconds after it was launched, the number of people watching it at the same time has exceeded 10,000.

A wide variety of comments can be quickly swiped through the notification bar on the right.

Katsuko Sakai held a cup of sugarcane milk tea in her arms and sipped it through a straw.

She looked at the comments on one side of her phone.

The people watching the video seem to be focused on the pretty girl on the cover at this point.

She shook her head slightly,

That face is indeed very impressive, with blue eyes, pale skin, cold eyes, and a contrasting beauty in a wheelchair.

Beautiful women are not uncommon, especially in the era of self-media, when you turn on the TV, you can see any kind of beautiful girl.

But the beauty of the girl on the cover of the video is special.

There is a hint of fragility in the arrogance, and a trace of pity and tenderness in the majesty.

"This young lady is really beautiful."

Tsunamasa Sakai tugged at his artistic curls that had been carefully groomed by the Akiba hairdresser, and his tone was full of admiration.

I don't know at this time,

How many boys around the world have the same sentiment when they see the video.

"I'm more curious about who she is? The art judges of the seven works this time are a little too young. Uncle Sakai thought worriedly.

Art critics are not beauty pageants.

He prefers to be in front of the screen an old man with wrinkled skin and gray beard who doesn't look like he will live for a few years.

If the other party's artistic literacy is not enough to support her to judge the quality of the painting with professional and convincing standards.

At least from a professional point of view, the video may lose a lot of color this time.

Fortunately, the resume of the art connoisseur shown on the video quickly dispelled Uncle Sakai's concerns.

[Anna Elena – visual art critic, art collector, youngest contributor and senior editor of Ölgemälde magazine since 1934.] 】

"It's the writer of Oil Painting?" Komatsu Taro exclaimed.

"So young."

Katsuko Sakai bit down on the straw, she thought that the writers of such veteran journals were all in their forties.

Unexpectedly, this little girl who didn't look much older than herself was one of them.

"Remarkable."

Professor Sakai commented, "It's not easy to be a contributor to Oil Painting. I remember that in June last year, Professor Sergei Ivanovich, the former senior editor of the visual arts section of Oil Painting and a tenured professor at the Repin Academy of Fine Arts, retired and was replaced by a man named A. Critics of E. “

“A· E, Anna Yelena, it seems that she is her. ”

Katsuko Sakai nodded, in the field of art, in order to prevent gender discrimination, it is also a common practice to replace feminine names with gender-neutral name letters.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Hyperion, welcome to my video."

Mr. Hyperion appears in front of the camera.

"I think the audience who saw the trailer already knows that the content of our $1 to $1 million challenge is the illustration request. As a reminder, please see the last minute, this is the best video I've had so far since I filmed this series. ”

The best video?

Professor Sakai's family immediately thought of Rei's realistic colored pencil drawing,

Sure enough, it was a dark horse.

The first few minutes of the video are an interesting story about the influencer's process of buying the illustrations.

Thomas knows what the audience wants to see.

The process of requesting a manuscript for several Fiverr store owners is a matter of more than ten seconds, and it is fleeting.

More of the footage was spent on himself going to the bank with Jane Arnold's broker to exchange a million dollars.

In order to satisfy the audience's curiosity, the editing team also gave an additional close-up of the street homeless man who finished Thomas's contract in more than ten seconds.

And the black paper that had been pressed with a few dirty handprints on the back was equipped with lace effects.

Uncle Sakai is not interested in this kind of content that is purely used to earn eyeballs.

Just as he was about to fast-forward, the video cut to the collection room of the girl in a wheelchair in an Austrian manor, and introduced the rules of the selection.

"What's up, guys?" I think everybody's got an idea of the rules."

Thomas clapped his palms and pointed to the seven frames on the table, the velvet cloth on which had been lifted, but the audience was still facing away.

Only Anna, who is in a wheelchair, is able to see the frame in its entirety.

"Miss Elena will hand over these illustrations to us one by one, from the worst to the best, according to her own subjective evaluation. And the four of us, each of us will give it a subjective rating, and the work with the highest total score is the winner of this challenge. ”

"Now, Miss Elena, which of these seven illustrations do you think is the worst?"

Anna did not reply, and did not say a word after she had removed the flannel from the seven frames.

She bit her lip slightly, her azure eyes staring at a work on the table, her brow furrowed slightly.

Her fingertips gently pinched the leather armrests of the wheelchair, and the slender fingertips turned pale from too much force.

The expression on the girl's face is very complicated, and when she is not smiling, she often has a straight face, like a majestic queen.

But now, the little queen's face was full of incredulity, surprise, admiration, and ...... Incomprehensible confusion.

"Miss, miss?"

The nurse aunt behind her has been taking care of Anna since she was a child, and she has rarely seen Miss Anna show such a rich expression, and asked with some concern, "Are you okay?" ”

Anna bit her lower lip slightly. "I'm fine, it's just...... Somewhat...... Astonished. ”

"But it shouldn't be a difficult choice, right?"

Thomas saw Anna's gaze fall on the frame for a long time, and he didn't react for a long time, a little surprised, thinking that the other party didn't know how to choose.

There can be some debate about which painting is the best.

But I want to say which painting is the worst.

Shouldn't the result be obvious, right?

"Yes, I do have a terrible work in front of my seven frames, and it wasn't difficult to pick it."

Anna turned around, shook her head, flipped one out of the walnut frame on the table, and faced the camera.

"It's Classic, terrible, typical failure. I guess this is one of the paintings you commissioned on Fiverr, not only stupid and thorough, but also so stupid. That's why I've never had a good impression of cheap painters. ”

To the surprise of Thomas and everyone who was playing the video.

It wasn't a random illustration drawn by a homeless man, at least it looked like it was even quite beautifully drawn.

"I'm sorry, but I can only give this painting a 0 if zero is the lowest score. Not only is it level-bad, but it doesn't have a bit of professionalism. ”

Anna said coldly with complete disgust in her tone.

"Garbage."
