During the award ceremony, clips from two popular performances were interspersed. Among them, the original drama "Noble Academy" uses black humor to interpret the tragic and happy lives of aristocratic young people in the late Qing Dynasty, and skillfully uses masks, opera, rap and other elements, which is very stylistic and modern; Drama master Cao Yu's book "The Wild" profoundly shows the writer's confusion about the "dilemma of life" and philosophical thinking about the mysterious universe through a tragic story of revenge.
