During the Cannes event, amid the current pandemic, more people chose to watch online. Especially since this time the "Storm" film crew had three actors plus the director from China who were all top-notch, so some video sites bought the broadcasting rights, and the number of online viewers soared.
Even the trolls who disliked Xia Siyu wouldn't say anything amid such an international award. But in the real-time comments, everyone was typing rapidly:
"Do you guys think Xia Siyu has a chance to win? She performed well."
"Keep dreaming, dreams have everything."
"Do you think it's like Tian Ji's horse racing? Didn't register her as the lead actress because of strong competition? Just randomly submitted."
"Look at Annie-Beta from the other team, she's the best choice, okay? The famous sweetheart of America, if anyone's winning, it's her."
