Lu Ban arrived in Cannes half a day before the premiere.

Of course he had to attend the premiere.

In the evening, Lu Ban, wearing a black suit, came to the theater where the premiere was held. Most of the people sitting in the theater were bigwigs from the French film and television industry, directors of theater chains, as well as reporters, media, and film and television practitioners from all over the world.

There was a routine interview session before the premiere, where Lu Ban talked about the movie.

"What was your original intention in creating this film?"

The interviewer, a blonde in a strapless evening gown, spoke in fluent Chinese and translated it into French.

"I have always wanted to bring you a story that heals people's hearts. Audiences who have seen my other works will definitely know that my past works were more exciting and not gentle enough. In this work, I have always integrated warmth, growth, and healing into the creation. I hope that through my film, everyone can feel the love and hope of this world."

The interviewer translated Lu Ban's answer into French, which made the audience laugh.

Others may not know Lu Ban, but how could these old hands in the film industry not know him?

There must be some mystery behind the movie that could make the sarcastic Ms. Merritt go from being angry to praising it.

"I mentioned before that you want to win some awards at film festivals with this movie. Some people think this is your transitional work. What do you think?"

The interviewer asked again.

"In fact, I haven't transformed myself. I am just an ordinary director who presents some interesting stories to everyone. My creations, no matter which one, are showing everyone something beautiful, something that is still beautiful even when it encounters difficulties. From this point of view, I think I have been a director who heals people's hearts from the beginning."

Lu Ban answered as a matter of course.

After hearing the interviewer's translation, the audience looked a little strange.

I always feel that Lu Ban’s understanding of healing people’s hearts is a little different from their understanding of healing people’s hearts.

But the problem is not big.

Even if we take a step back and say that Lu Ban deceived them, this is a horror film disguised as an art film, so at most they will be scared for a while. It's not like everyone here has not been scared by "The Wailing" or "In the Mouth of a Madman".

"Finally, do you have anything to say to the audience?"

The interviewer asked again.

“I hope everyone can enjoy the movie, enjoy life, and enjoy everything beautiful.”

Lu Ban said sincerely.

Another burst of laughter.

The interview session ended and the movie started soon.

The audience is looking forward to what kind of healing story Lu Ban will present.

…

Bai Qiquan was watching the second game.

Those who watched the premiere were all big shots, including big shots from the film industry, elites from the media, and some big bosses from large companies, and they all wore formal suits.

There is no need for tourists like him.

“There are so many people.”

His girlfriend Pang Zhen held his hand. The air in Cannes in May was humid. If you stood for a while in the afternoon, your whole body would become sticky. The night was a little better, but still a little hot.

Pang Zhen wore a dark dress and dressed up carefully. She looked much better than in school.

Bai Qiquan took the movie ticket and found a seat. Next to him was a foreigner speaking a language he couldn't understand, probably French or some other minor European language.

Before the movie was screened, Pang Zhen used his mobile phone to check the comments.

"It seems that everyone says that the movie is well received. Please don't spoil it later."

She said.

"What's there to spoil? It's just an ordinary love story, a heart-healing movie. You'll know once you watch it."

Bai Qiquan disagreed.

He has seen all the explosive moments in this movie, and although he might be scared on the big screen, there are not many of those scenes.

It's not a big problem.

The theater darkened and the movie began.

Bai Qiquan leaned back in his chair, concentrating on watching the movie.

In the first half, when those monsters appeared, Bai Qiquan could still feel Pang Zhen holding his hand tightly.

By the middle of the film, he could feel that everyone in the theater was becoming more sentimental.

An inexplicable melancholy floated in the cinema, and even Bai Qiquan, who had seen the movie countless times, was infected and became sentimental.

He even heard sobbing sounds, probably because the woman was moved to tears by the possible separation that was about to come.

He was also very clear about the subsequent plot.

Even though it was clear, it still felt different seeing it on the big screen.

In particular, he liked the character of Amber very much and had longed for having such a lover countless times.

Therefore, when he saw the two of them parting and looking at each other at the ceremony, and those memories came flooding back, Bai Qiquan was still filled with emotion.

Pang Zhen, a sentimental girl beside him, had already been moved to tears and kept wiping her nose with a tissue.

Is this what Director Lu meant by healing people’s hearts?

Bai Qiquan did have some feelings in his heart. The beautiful but fleeting love, the yearning for freedom, warmth and growth are all vividly reflected in this movie.

Many people would describe such movies as addictive because they are addictive and leave a very deep impression on people. If you take them out to watch every once in a while, you will have different feelings about them.

As Bai Qiquan silently handed a tissue to his girlfriend, the scene turned to night.

"?"

His movements suddenly froze.

Because he definitely had never seen this plot or this scene.

This part was not included in the original film played internally!

What's going on?

Put it in the wrong place?

Is there a problem with the original film you submitted?

Bai Qiquan himself found it a little funny. What he was thinking about at this moment was whether something went wrong in their suppression process.

But this part of the plot seems to be very natural, and it is a subsequent development.

Bai Qiquan remembered that in the version he watched, Lu Ban left among the cherry blossoms after the ceremony, and there was no mention of what happened that night.

Was this paragraph added by Director Lu later?

Director's cut?

He saw the protagonist enter the main hall, saw the urns of the past chief priestesses, and saw the empty and uninhabited courtyard.

Bai Qiquan's heart began to hang in the air.

The entire cinema was silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the protagonist's exploration.

Everyone was curious, in this case, what was on the attic?

The protagonist came to the attic, and Bai Qiquan, who saw this scene, suddenly smelled a burnt odor.

Bai Qiquan saw the lock on the door.

Click——

His heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Everything around him left him and became cold.

The sounds overlapped, like calls from some distant world.

Goose bumps spread from his back to his whole body. He wanted to close his eyes and not watch what was happening next, but his eyes were wide open, taking in everything.

Then, Bai Qiquan saw it.
