After all, Lu Ban is not a devil.

These scenes are shocking just by looking at the original film.

Because here is not only what Lu Ban saw, but also the entire process, all the shots from the moment Amber stepped into the Son of God Pavilion, all presented to Lu Ban from the clearest angle.

He felt that if his employees were shown these images, he would probably have to continue posting recruitment information tomorrow.

For everyone's safety, Lu Ban had no choice but to handle it himself.

Moreover, Lu Ban felt that any editing involving such scenes must be approved by the person concerned.

"Can we let it out here?"

Lu Ban circled a corner of the screen with his mouse and questioned the air around him.

"Oh, then I'll use the other side."

He switched to another perspective.

"This one is fine, right? I'll use this one then."

A week after the original film was uploaded, Lu Ban thought that everyone had already watched it, so he began to make formal work arrangements.

"I think everyone has watched the original film. What do you think?"

Lu Ban asked during the work meeting.

"...I think, Boss, are you in love recently?"

A girl raised her hand and asked.

"How else could you make a film that's full of the sour smell of love? Boss, you've changed."

Others agreed.

"This original film is so sweet. If you take away the monster scenes, this is simply a perfect love movie!"

"I think the ending is also very well handled! The feeling of having to part ways despite having gone through thick and thin together, and never seeing each other again, is very well-written. This is the essence of first love!"

"Director Lu, where did you find these actors? Let's not talk about anything else, especially the leading actress. The transformation from being stern and serious to being young and gentle, and finally resolute, the acting is so strong that it feels like even the movement of her eyebrows is part of the drama."

"The cherry blossoms probably haven't bloomed yet. Boss, did you take this photo last spring? No, there are no such big cherry trees in the island country. Is this a special effect?"

"Although the heroine is very cute, I feel that the effect presented in the original film can only achieve a healing and warm feeling. It is a bit difficult to impress the judges."

"Director Lu, I feel that the leading actress's performance here is good enough to win at least a Best Actor award. If this actress had never acted in other films before, she would be a genius!"

"The plot of this original film is a bit clichéd, with the classic male and female protagonists who are strangers at first, fall in love with each other after traveling, and finally go their separate ways. The pictures are amazing, and the acting is great. I can only hope it meets the judges' tastes."

The employees were talking at once.

"Beaver, tell me something."

Lu Ban pointed to a person. In the company, everyone used nicknames to address each other, which sounded more intimate.

Beaver is a team leader, responsible for the filters and color grading of the pictures.

"I think we can turn it into a classic road movie format. This kind of story of growth and healing is very suitable for road movies. As the two protagonists travel and experience, the relationship between the two people slowly changes. Moreover, road movies are also liked by many art judges. Well-made road movies are easy to win awards."

“It’s pretty good.”

It’s similar to Lu Ban’s idea.

Leaving aside the final ending, the previous plot is indeed suitable to be presented in the form of a journey.

Taking the change in the relationship between two people as the entry point and picking out plots and pictures, although it is a simple plot, it will definitely capture the hearts of some judges because of the expression of true feelings.

Lu Ban learned that many of the art judges had strange preferences.

Some people focus on the acting, and if the acting is good, they will give good reviews even if the plot is a mess. Some people like costumes and props, and have a perverted pursuit of movie scenes. Some people particularly like a certain type of subject matter, and will give high scores almost every time they encounter this type of subject matter.

It's normal for artists to have some quirks.

For example, Lu Ban always ties his shoelaces with his right foot first, which many people think is a quirk.

After sending out the storyboards and arranging the work, Lu Ban called Mei Juan, the contact person at Jiangcheng Cinema.

"Oh, it's Director Lu. What's up? Do you have a new movie coming up?"

Mei Juan is a middle-aged woman, capable, kind, and well-mannered. As soon as she answered the phone, she made a joke.

Lu Ban's film shooting and production speed is well-known in the industry. Many directors and film and television companies privately call Lu Ban the "King of Film Production". But to Mei Juan, Lu Ban is simply a cash cow. As long as Lu Ban's films are released in the months, she doesn't have to worry about performance at all.

"Yes, but it probably won't be released directly in China."

Lu Ban answered truthfully.

"Oh, not directly from China... huh???"

Mei Juan was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

"Director Lu, what you just said is that there really is a new movie?"

"Yes, I'm planning to attend those film festivals. Sister Mei, could you please help me contact the relevant people and get the exhibition procedures done?"

What Lu Ban is worst at is socializing.

After all, when dealing with monsters and strange things, you can just pick up weapons and fight them if you disagree.

When dealing with people, don't use a crowbar when you can't reach an agreement.

"Film festival? But the Yannan University Student Film Festival is in November?"

Mei Juan didn't quite understand why Lu Ban suddenly became concerned about these things.

"Not that one, but the overseas ones, Venice, Cannes, and Berlin, three film festivals."

Lu Ban corrected.

"…Are you kidding?"

Mei Juan asked subconsciously.

"Your last movie just came out not long ago, and you've got a new movie coming out, and you're going to participate in those art film festivals?"

If the other person was not Lu Ban, Mei Juan would definitely think that he was crazy.

"Yes, because this is my first time participating in this, there are many things I don't understand, and I hope Sister Mei can help me more!"

Lu Ban said sincerely.

The news that Lu Ban would participate in these international film festivals spread quickly.

At this time, it was only three months away from the Palme d'Or award ceremony.

At first, people just thought that Lu Ban's movie production speed was faster than the replacement speed of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. But not long after, as the information about Lu Ban's new movie gradually leaked out, people became very interested in this movie whose name was not yet known.

Because Lu Ban is not going to make a horror movie or an epic blockbuster this time.

He wants to try the art film style!

For a time, the writers of some movie rating websites who had been slapped in the face by Lu Ban before quickly became active again, just like the New Year, with endless speculations and analyses about Lu Ban.

At the end of February, the film was progressing smoothly, and Lu Ban had also produced the first trailer.

At the same time, he saw an article appear on many social media platforms.

"Dare to try or over-expansion? Lu Ban's transformation journey".
