Outside Yannan University of Communication, there is a restaurant where the average consumption per person is slightly higher than that of college students.

Lu Ban sat at a table by the window waiting. He was not paying attention to the TV that was broadcasting the news in the store. Instead, he was looking outside. Through the window, he could see pedestrians coming and going downstairs. Many of them were young people, college students from Yannan University of Communication.

Yannan University of Communication is a nationally renowned university in the field of film, television and media. Many TV hosts, actors and directors graduated from this school.

The opening ceremony and award ceremony of the Yannan University Student Film Festival will be held here. Lu Ban naturally chose a hotel near the university, which is cheap and full of youthful atmosphere.

More importantly, no one stuffed little pieces of paper into the door at night.

He took out his mobile phone and checked the relevant news. "The Cry" is now showing a tendency to go viral, and various joke makers are rushing to take advantage of its popularity. Facts have proved that when something becomes popular to a certain extent, you don't have to worry about it, the traffic will automatically help you become more popular.

It’s a pity that "The Wailing" is a horror film after all. Many people have a natural resistance to horror films. Not to mention going to the cinema to watch it, they would rather block the keywords directly and never watch it again.

Moreover, "The Wailing" did not have much pre-promotion, and basically relied entirely on the word-of-mouth of Lu Ban's former fans and those who had watched the movie. Moreover, it was only shown in some cinemas in Yannan, so the box office did not explode.

Theoretically, after the film festival, these films will also be taken off the screen, but Lu Ban has already received invitations from the film festival organizers and theaters to extend the screening time of "The Wailing".

After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the potential of this movie is far more than what it has now. If it can be released nationwide on a large scale, or even exported overseas, the profits to be made will be unimaginable.

Lu Ban didn't think so much about it. He was a contented person. Now that he had bought a house, he didn't have to pay rent. He had enough money for food and drink, and he also had a new computer. He had no extra expenses at all.

Money means little to Lu Ban.

He is a man with aspirations.

While thinking about these things, Lu Ban felt someone approaching him.

He looked up and saw a girl.

The girl was wearing a fashionable sweater and skirt, and small leather shoes. She looked no different from the college students outside the window. She was not the kind of beautiful girl who would amaze people at first sight, but if you looked closely, you could taste some different temperament and charm. Her small ears could be seen between her short, light hair, and she had a warm smile on her face, like a spring breeze.

This is indeed the same as Lu Ban's impression.

"Have you been waiting long?"

Feng Yu sat opposite Lu Ban and put the cloth bag on his shoulder aside.

"Not really."

Lu Ban didn't look around but handed over the menu.

"I just ordered some, see if you need anything else."

"Uh-huh."

Feng Yu nodded slightly and flipped through the menu.

"Wow, what you ordered is a bit greasy. It's not good for cardiovascular health. Young people should eat less takeout and more vegetables and fruits..."

She quickly ordered some dishes that could protect cardiovascular health. For some reason, Lu Ban always felt that this squad leader behaved a bit like his own mother.

"By the way, I've seen it all. Your movie is very popular right now. People are discussing it on Weibo. Some people even say you are a film genius."

While waiting for the food to be served, Feng Yu said jokingly.

“It’s okay, maybe there’s just a lack of this type of product in the market.”

Lu Ban said seriously, paused, and then asked again.

"How's it going over there? I heard your crew has a movie coming out too?"

After hearing Lu Ban's words, Feng Yu's expression dimmed slightly.

"Alas, due to problems with the director and the producer, the film has been shelved. I really envy you for being able to make films freely."

Her eyes turned to the TV in the hall, which was playing the latest news. It sounded like something important, but it seemed a little far away when she thought about it carefully.

"You should take care of yourself. I see you like to go to dangerous places to shoot. You should protect yourself. Previously, a star died in an accident while filming a car racing scene. What a pity."

After chatting with Lu Ban for a few words, Feng Yu was no longer as polite as at the beginning and returned to her nagging mode like an old woman.

"It's no problem. You won't die."

Lu Ban explained.

"If he's really dead, then he's probably dead."

"puff--"

Feng Yu laughed.

"You put it here."

"When making a movie, you sometimes need to lead by example. Look at those big names who have won the Lifetime Achievement Award. They don't even use a double."

Lu Ban was serious.

"You are still young and your body can handle it. If you get injured and sick, you will regret it when you are old."

Feng Yu started mumbling again.

"Feng Yu, there is something I have been wanting to say since a while ago."

Lu Ban suddenly became serious, which made Feng Yu stop chanting and sit up straight.

"You, you say."

"I think you're the one who can be my mother."

Lu Ban expressed his thoughts.

"?"

Feng Yu subconsciously leaned back and asked.

"Are you saying I'm long-winded?"

"I'm saying you know how to take care of people."

"Thank you so much."

The waiter brought the dishes quickly. Indeed, as Feng Yu said, they were all vegetarian dishes that could protect cardiovascular health.

It tastes pretty good though.

As the two were eating, something seemed to happen on the news on TV.

Lu Ban looked over.

What was shown on TV was a cruise ship burning in a storm.

"...According to the report we just received, a serious fire broke out on the cruise ship 'Stars', which is sailing in the South Pacific, at the port of Pohnpei Island. A search and rescue operation is currently underway, but the severe storm has delayed the rescue progress. The current casualties are unknown..."

Lu Ban remembered that this was a cruise ship that encountered a storm in the Pacific Ocean and was unable to return, and he seemed to have seen some strange islands.

Is this the disaster that was brought upon us?

He felt that things were not that simple.

Feng Yu didn't pay attention to these things and enjoyed his meal very much.

"A cruise ship? I really want to take a cruise, but forget about the one that's on fire."

This is her evaluation.

While eating and chatting, the two talked about everything from movies to trivial matters in life, from university courses to Weibo topics, just like very familiar friends.

After eating, Lu Ban picked up the bill and prepared to pay.

"Let's split the bill. I feel bad for letting you pay."

Feng Yu took out his cell phone.

The two paid and walked out of the restaurant. The afternoon sun shone on the street. The plane trees on the side of the road were bright golden and their leaves were falling. Men and women were taking pictures. The leisurely college life made people feel a lot younger.

"Then I should go back."

Feng Yu and Lu Ban walked along the road for a while. She looked at the time and said to Lu Ban.

"Well, I won't send you off then."

Lu Ban waved and said goodbye to Feng Yu.

Finally, he suddenly remembered something and asked.

"Oh, there's one more thing."

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Lu Ban's words, Feng Yu stopped and looked back slightly. A gust of wind blew, and golden fallen leaves fluttered, shining brightly in the sunlight.

"You are not Feng Yu, who are you?"

Lu Ban raised a question.
