Lu Jian arrived in Cannes half a day before the premiere.
Naturally, he had to attend the premiere.
In the evening, Lu Jian, who was wearing a black suit, came to the theater where the premiere was held. Sitting in the theater were basically some big guys from the French film and television industry, people in charge of theaters, as well as reporters, media, and film and television people from all over the world.
Practitioners etc.
Before the premiere, there was a routine interview session for Lu Jian to talk about the movie.
"What was your original intention in creating this movie?"
The interviewer was a blonde girl wearing a tube top evening gown. She 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 must know that my past works were more exciting and not gentle enough. In this work, I have always combined warmth, growth, and healing.
People's hearts are reflected in creation, and I hope that through my movies, everyone can feel the love and hope of this world."
The interviewer translated Lu Jian's answer into French, which made the audience laugh.
Others don't know about Lu Jian, how can these veterans in the film industry not know about him?
There must be something mysterious about a movie that can take that sarcastic Ms. Merritt from being angry to praising her.
"I mentioned before that you want to use this film to win some awards at film festivals. Some people think that this is your transformational film. What do you think?"
The interviewer asked again.
"Actually, I have not transformed. I am just an ordinary director who presents some interesting stories to everyone. No matter which one of my creations, I show you some beautiful things. Some things are still beautiful even if they encounter difficulties.
stuff, and from that point of view, I think I was a healing director from the beginning.”
Lu Tan replied matter-of-factly.
After hearing the interviewer's translation, the audience present looked a little strange.
I always feel that Lu Jian’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.
To say the least, Lu Tan deceived them. This is a horror film disguised as a literary film. The most it can do is scare people. It’s not like everyone here has not been fascinated by "The Crying" or "The Mouth of a Madman".
》Scared.
"Finally, do you have anything to say to the audience?"
The interviewer asked again.
"I hope everyone can enjoy movies, enjoy life, and enjoy everything good."
Lu Tan said sincerely.
There was another burst of laughter.
The interview session ended and the movie started soon.
The audience is extremely looking forward to what kind of healing story Lu Jian will present.
...
Bai Qiquan was watching the second scene.
All the big guys attending the premiere, including movie industry tycoons, media elites, and some big company bosses, all wore formal attire.
There is no need for tourists like him.
"There are so many people."
His girlfriend Pang Zhen held his hand. In Cannes in May, the air is humid. If you stand for a while in the afternoon during the day, your whole body will be sticky. At night, it is a little better, but it is also a bit hot.
Pang Zhen wore a dark dress and was carefully dressed. Anyway, she looked much better than in school.
Bai Qiquan took the movie ticket and found his seat. Next to him was a foreigner, speaking a language he didn't understand. It might be French or some other small European language.
Before the movie was screened, Pang Zhen took out her phone to read the comments.
"It seems that the movie is very well received, so you are not allowed to spoil it later."
she said.
"What's the point of spoiling this? It's just an ordinary love story. It's a heart-warming movie. You'll know it after watching it."
Bai Qiquan disagreed.
He has seen all the explosive points in this movie. Although he may be scared on the big screen, there are not many scenes.
Not a big problem.
The screening room darkened and the movie started.
Bai Qiquan leaned back in his chair and concentrated on watching the movie.
In the first half, when those monsters appeared, Bai Qiquan could still feel the feeling of being held tightly by Pang Zhen.
By the middle of the show, he could feel that everyone in the theater had become tender.
An inexplicable melancholy floated in the cinema, and even Bai Qiquan, who had watched it countless times, was affected and became sentimental.
He even heard the sound of sobbing, fearing that he might be moved to tears by the separation that might come next.
He also knew the plot behind it very well.
Although it is clear, it still feels different when seeing it on the big screen.
In particular, he likes the character of Amber very much and has longed for such a lover countless times.
Therefore, when those two people parted and looked at each other during the ceremony, Bai Qiquan was still filled with tears when those memories came back to him.
And next to him, Pang Zhen, such an emotional girl, had already been moved to tears and kept wiping her nose with tissues.
Is this what Director Lu said about healing people’s hearts?
Bai Qiquan does have some feelings in his heart. Beautiful and fleeting love, yearning for freedom, warmth and growth are all vividly reflected in this movie.
Many people would rate this kind of movie as toxic because it is easy to become addicted and leaves a very deep impression on people. Once you take it out and taste it every once in a while, you will have different perceptions.
When Bai Qiquan silently handed a tissue to his girlfriend next to him, the scene turned to night.
"?"
His movements suddenly froze.
Because he must have never seen this plot and scene.
This part is not included in the original film played internally!
What's going on?
Misplaced?
Is there something wrong with the original film you submitted?
Bai Qiquan himself found it a bit funny. What he was thinking about at this time was whether something went wrong in their suppression process.
But this plot seems to be very natural and is the follow-up development.
Bai Qiquan remembered that in the version he watched, Lu Jian left among the cherry blossoms after the ceremony, and there was nothing that happened that night.
Could this paragraph be added by Director Lu later?
Director's cut?
He saw the protagonist enter the main hall, saw the urns of the past officiating witches, and saw the empty and uninhabited courtyard.
Bai Qiquan's heart began to feel anxious.
The entire cinema was silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the protagonist to explore.
Everyone is curious, under such circumstances, what is on the attic?
The protagonist came to the attic. Bai Qiquan, who saw this scene, suddenly smelled a burning smell.
Bai Qiquan saw the lock on the door.
Ding——
His heartbeat suddenly beat a beat faster.
Everything around him moved away from him and became cold.
Those sounds are layer upon layer, like some call from a distant world.
A burst of goosebumps spread from his back to his whole body. He wanted to close his eyes, not wanting to watch the next plot, but he kept his eyes wide open and took in everything.
