Lu Ban did not choose any coffee shops like Yuebak or Bimello. It was not because he was worried that reporters would ask him to pay the bill, but mainly because the coffee in these shops tasted just so-so, and they were in public places, so he couldn't let go and contribute to the sales of these high-end literary and artistic shops.

He invited reporters to his home.

Fortunately, the reporter was a boy, so it wasn't a big problem.

Um?

Why does it feel like the problem is a bit serious?

Never mind.

Lu Ban heard his cell phone ringing and saw that it was a reporter calling. He answered the call and directed him upstairs.

The furniture in the house has been completely renewed. Lu Ban went to the furniture store specifically to buy them with his friend Air, so that they would suit the aesthetic tastes of his family. For this reason, the clerks in the furniture store looked at Lu Ban with strange eyes.

"Come in, come in."

Lu Ban saw that the reporter was a young man, about the same age as himself, and the equipment in his hands was very professional, much more professional than Lu Ban himself.

"Hello, I'm Wang Qing, a reporter from Film Report... Hmm?"

The reporter named Wang Qing felt something was wrong as soon as he walked in.

Because there is a big mirror in the living room.

The mirror is almost facing the wall where the door is, located above the sofa. The entire mirror covers most of the wall and can be seen as soon as you enter the room.

Like the arrangement in a barber shop, such a mirror can probably make the eye feel that the room is spacious, but it still feels a bit strange to see yourself in the mirror as soon as you walk in.

"The arrangement of this mirror is very special..."

Wang Qing used praise to cover up his momentary hesitation.

"Yeah, because my roommate has one that can only be seen in the mirror, so I made him one in the living room so that he can watch TV normally."

Lu Ban spoke frankly.

"Roommate? Only in the mirror?"

Wang Qing was a little suspicious.

He knew that Lu Ban started out by making horror videos. People like him usually had an unhappy childhood, or were born in backward mountainous areas with a strong folk atmosphere. They might also be very particular about beliefs, ghosts, and the like.

So it’s normal to behave a little strangely sometimes.

"Yes, please sit down. Please sit down."

Lu Ban asked Wang Qing to sit down, but when the reporter was about to sit down, he raised his hand to stop him.

"Wait a minute, I can't sit here. My air friend is right over here."

Lu Ban motioned Wang Qing to sit on the other side.

"?"

Wang Qing didn't understand at all.

He looked carefully at the place where he was about to sit. The sofa was spotless and there was nothing on it. He originally thought that "Air Friend" was a code name for a pet, but now it seems that it is really air?

Is this person making fun of himself?

Wang Qing was worried, but still sat obediently on the other side.

"Director Lu, we are just conducting an interview. We don't have to be formal. Just treat it like a chat."

He took out his recorder and picked up his camera.

"Can I take a picture of you first?"

"no problem."

Lu Ban sat on the sofa, thought about it, and then sat there naturally without posing.

Wang Qing raised the camera and framed Lu Ban.

Normally, in face tracking mode, the viewfinder will display a small square to track the face. Now that there is only Lu Ban in the camera, the viewfinder will naturally frame his face, allowing the lens to focus on his face.

However, when Wang Qing looked at the viewfinder, he found that in addition to the square on Lu Ban's face, there were three other squares.

The three boxes around Lu Ban looked like his family standing beside him taking a family photo.

However, there was nothing in those boxes except air.

Wang Qing took a breath and quickly rubbed his eyes. The boxes disappeared again, leaving only Lu Ban's slightly stiff smile.

"Have you finished filming? My face is a bit exhausted."

Lu Ban urged.

"immediately!"

Wang Qing didn't care about anything else and took several photos in a row before putting the camera away.

"It shouldn't be broken..."

He muttered to himself and looked at Lu Ban again.

"So I have a few questions prepared. The first is, um, what made you choose to shoot horror videos? We all know that this type of film is relatively niche, and there are few directors who have become famous for it."

"Well, to be honest, it's not that I chose the horror genre, but that the genre chose me. If possible, I would also like to make some epic blockbusters or works that heal people's hearts. Unfortunately, I don't have this opportunity yet."

Lu Ban spoke the truth.

"Is that so?"

When Wang Qing heard this, he thought that Lu Ban was quite good at pretending. Most people might say things like they are good at it or that their background has influenced them, but he just said that the subject matter chose him. This kind of statement is usually made by geniuses with extraordinary talents, and they usually don't mention it directly themselves, but rather hear other people's evaluations.

"Well, we all know that your videos and movies are usually adventures in which you are the protagonist. So, have you ever thought about choosing other actors to be the protagonists?"

Wang Qing continued to ask questions.

"I haven't thought about this issue. At present, I can only star in my own movies."

Lu Ban continued to tell the truth.

"You mean other people might not be able to reach your level of acting?"

"No, I don't think others would be able to handle the filming process."

Lu Ban replied that although he didn't know whether these video materials could be used with other people as the main perspective, if it were someone else, unless he was the Chosen One, Lu Ban was afraid that he would not be able to hold on until the end of the mission.

“Very confident.”

Wang Qing sighed and raised another question.

"So what ideas do you want to convey to the audience through the plot design of these thriller and horror films?"

"I just recorded what I saw and heard truthfully. As for understanding, it's up to each person. If I have to say one thing, I would say cherish life."

Lu Ban was serious.

“Is that so…?”

Wang Qing thought Lu Ban’s idea was a bit strange.

"Also, I heard that you went to the demolished Nan Hua Private Yan Chai Hospital some time ago. Did you go there to collect materials? Is your next film related to it?"

"Yes, that's right. In fact, my next film is already in production. I plan to participate in the upcoming Yannan University Student Film Festival, hoping to win an award."

The best quality of Lu Ban is honesty.

"This is really big news, but, but, the Yannan University Student Film Festival should be next month, right? Will we be able to prepare the film in time?"

Wang Qing immediately pricked up his ears; this was exclusive news for him.

"That should be fine. In fact, I've already made a little clip of it. Do you want to take a look?"

Lu Ban’s words completely surprised Wang Qing.
