The clip is very short, just some scenes of the sea, cherry blossoms, spring, and pedestrians.

There is no camera language or plot, just pure pictures.

But it was this scene that made Bai Qiquan, who was living in winter, feel the spring.

It was hard for him to imagine that such an effect could be achieved just by relying on pictures.

But I can really relate.

This light, this water, these flowers, no amount of filters can compare to them, this is the purest spring.

What does it mean to be bathed in spring breeze?

However, Bai Qiquan found it a bit strange that the customs and practices shown in this clip did not seem like those in China, but rather like those in foreign countries, Southeast Asia or an island country.

When Lu Ban first mentioned art films, Bai Qiquan thought it was some kind of urban life film. He hadn't figured out how to connect it with the previous films to become a part of the Silent Universe. But now that a backward village by the sea has emerged, he understood some of Lu Ban's ideas, but not completely.

"Director Lu, isn't this background a bit strange? Isn't it an ancient costume?"

Someone raised the question that Bai Qiquan had thought of.

Movies made in China are either about modern cities, ancient history, or fantasy. There are very few that focus on other countries.

If "Magic Tide" used the background of another world in order to adapt to the needs of Hollywood and global release, then now, in order to win awards at the three major film festivals, Lu Ban should have chosen a domestic background.

Domestic films have also won these awards. Most of the winning films show the domestic situation in the backward period of the last century, or they show the tragedy of the times and have a humanistic atmosphere, or they show the loss of goals of young people in modern society.

This is also one of the reasons why some domestic audiences feel that the judges of these film festivals are crooked.

Although those films are good enough, there is always a feeling that they are favored by the judges only because they show their poverty and hardship.

“There’s nothing wrong with making a movie with a foreign background, as long as the mood is right.”

Lu Ban didn't find it strange.

A director is not necessarily limited to filming his or her hometown.

There was a movie that won an Oscar in the past. A European and American director found several domestic actresses to shoot a story about an island country. The dialogue was entirely in English, and it won several Oscars.

A great international director should be able to master all styles of all regions.

"Boss, has the filming of this movie been completed?"

Someone asked.

"right."

Lu Ban looked at the employees in the screening room.

"For this movie, we focus on warmth, growth, and healing. We hope that the audience can feel love and hope from the movie."

He explained.

"?"

The employees of Silent Media are a bit overwhelmed.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Lu Ban’s works have nothing to do with “warmth”, “growth” or “healing the heart”, let alone “love and hope”.

Was he stimulated by something?

"Boss, are you sure?"

Employees expressed doubts.

"Any questions?"

Lu Ban asked back as a matter of course.

“Isn’t this a bit too wide?”

Bai Qiquan muttered subconsciously.

Some of the plots in Lu Ban's films are actually quite ordinary, but the powerful special effects can make people feel as if they are in the scene. It can be said that when shooting the same bowl of noodles, others can only capture the meat foam and oil on the noodle soup, but Lu Ban can make people feel as if they can smell the fragrance of the noodles. This is Lu Ban's greatest weapon as a director.

But now, art films need to be tender, healing, and heart-warming. This kind of soft subject matter is not suitable for Lu Ban at all!

Although the clip that Lu Ban showed them did make people feel spring-like and interesting, it was completely different from healing!

Coming out of the screening room, the employees of Silent Media fell into deep thought.

Except for the heartless Qin Tiantian who had already started sending out special messages, the others checked the computer for a while, and messages began to appear in several small work groups.

[Beaver]: You think the boss has been hurt by something, or has he been heartbroken? He is not shooting horror movies anymore, but art films?

[Xiaobai]: I understand. Everyone has something to pursue. The boss has already been satisfied with the box office. What's left is reputation. If "Magic Tides" wins an Oscar, and the new movie wins a big award at a film festival, then we will be successful and successful.

[Maruko]: But the clip just now did have that kind of flavor. I feel that apart from anything else, the picture and atmosphere are definitely top-notch.

[Lemon]: I have a guess, which may not be correct. Could it be that the boss feels that his previous movies were very successful, so he wants to try to transform and break through?

[Beaver]: What you mean is that the boss has become arrogant?

[Lemon]: I dare not say that, but there are directors in history who can make both commercial films and art films. Maybe the boss is the chosen one.

[Woody]: Come to think of it, I just looked up the words "healing", "love" and "hope", but I didn't find any other meanings that I didn't know.

【beaver】:……

【noob】:……

【ball】:……

[Lemon]: We will know when the time comes just by watching the original film. We are not those audiences who have to wait until the movie is released to see the complete film. No matter how powerful the boss is, can he turn those warm and healing scenes into a terrifying horror movie out of thin air?

Friends in the group all thought it made sense.

In the afternoon, Lu Ban uploaded the original film to the server, and made a preliminary schedule and assigned tasks.

After getting the original film, the first thing everyone did was to watch all the clips attentively.

As there was quite a lot of content, everyone read it very carefully and many people stayed in the office until after nine in the evening and did not go home.

Bai Qiquan watched it very seriously. He turned it on at double speed and prepared to watch all the clips.

The people around them couldn't hold on any longer and went home one after another.

Bai Qiquan is still persisting.

The second day, the third day, and the weekend.

On the morning of the sixth day, Bai Qiquan finally finished watching all the original films that Lu Ban uploaded to the server.

Although there is no editing, the general outline of the story can still be seen.

Bai Qiquan hardly saw anything that would hurt other people's hearts, anything horrific and hideous, and even the battle with the bandaged man had the feeling of a blockbuster movie.

Perhaps it was only when the filth on Changfeng Island appeared that he felt dizzy and it took him half an hour to come back to his senses.

But the other parts are indeed just as Lu Ban said, full of warmth, healing, and growth, mixed with a touch of girlish feelings and sadness of parting. After reading it, Bai Qiquan could only shout "Amber, my wife."

"Could it be that Director Lu has really changed direction?"

Bai Qiquan was skeptical.

And the other side.

At Lu Ban's house, he turned on his computer.

There is still some original film in the computer.

Original footage of Amber's final moments.

Lu Ban has to handle this part personally.
