Chapter 384 - 384 Healing Smile_1

Chapter 384: Healing Smile_1 Chapter 384: Healing Smile_1 Healing smiles enveloped Cannes.

Ever since the premiere of “Peaceful Days in Spring,” the streets and alleys of Cannes, all sorts of places, had gradually become filled with such smiles.

These smiles, to say they were warm sunshine, carried a bit of bitterness; to say they were sad and sorrowful, were very gentle. When you saw such smiles on the street, you would think that these people must have suffered some kind of grief and hardship, but they had already come out of it and were now facing life with a more positive attitude.

The people with these mysterious smiles were active in the streets and alleys of Cannes. Some helped sanitation workers clean the streets, some assisted elderly grandmothers in crossing the road, some caught thieves when they saw an injustice. When they walked on the street and saw you, they would greet you energetically. They were kind to people, polite, and their identities were diverse. There were tourists, locals, film industry professionals, and journalists.

The entire air of Cannes had become much better because of them.

Bai Qiquan had just woken up, and he felt an infinite vitality and yearning for life; life was so beautiful, he thought he should be more positive.

He went to the cinema; in the past two days, except for touring the attractions near Cannes, he spent his time here helping new audiences.

“Two tickets for ‘Peaceful Days in Spring,’ thank you very much for coming.”

Bai Qiquan had even self-taught some basic French during these days, feeling endlessly motivated, as if anything could be learned if he wished to learn it.

He watched batch after batch of people enter the cinema. The audience’s original anticipation and expectations, their slight puzzlement at Bai Qiquan’s smile. But when the movie ended and they left the theater, they too wore the same smiles.

Through the exchange of glances, Bai Qiquan understood very clearly that these people had become comrades with him.

The newspapers of Cannes were filled with reports on “Peaceful Days in Spring”; film critics praised it as “one of the most healing movies in history.” Audiences expressed that seeing this film was “the luckiest thing I’ve done this year,” with over five thousand people putting “Peaceful Days in Spring” at the top of the “Movies I Most Recommend to Others” list.

Of course, this state did not last too long.

Some people, after receiving a heavy mental shock, involuntarily passed their thoughts onto others, and as more and more people watched the movie, their numbers grew.

On domestic and international film review websites, corresponding comments quickly appeared.

[Scammers, you are all scammers! I watched ‘Peaceful Days in Spring’. The beginning was good, the development was fine, but I cannot accept that ending. Why does such a good girl have to be treated that way? Amber, woo woo woo, my Amber]

[Lu Ban is really a dog. He lied to us, saying this was a healing movie. I’ll heal your big head ghost! In the movie’s ending, all good women die, and in such a tragic way. Did Lu Ban offend someone in his past life?]

[The person above, did you just say ‘nigga’?]

[Please believe me, everyone, this is absolutely not a movie you can watch with a smile. The ending of this movie is extraordinarily tragic. You must prepare yourself mentally before watching it.]

[How could I have imagined that the movie ticket I paid a high price for would show me such a tragic drama? Can I ask for a refund?]

[Did Lu Ban suffer some kind of trauma recently, oh no, wrong, did he suffer some kind of trauma at birth? Can a praying mantis in his house trigger feelings of being alone and helpless or what?]

[Bro, you’re right, it seems like he really did come from an orphanage.]

[Damn!]

With such comments, there naturally were other comments that refuted them.

[You must be haters and paid trolls. This movie is so heartwarming. Look, after the film premiered in Cannes, the crime rate dropped by fifty percent, and the city environment has improved a lot. Now, if you drop your wallet on the streets of Cannes, you’ll have five people racing to pick it up for you. He, he changed Cannes.]

[As an audience member who has watched movies for over a decade, I think ‘Peaceful Days in Spring’ is an excellent film. Any movie lover can find what they want in this movie, and the current slander against the movie’s quality is undoubtedly irrational.]

[Although I haven’t seen this movie yet, aren’t you guys a bit funny? If Lu Ban really had such a rubbish ending for the movie, wouldn’t the film’s public opinion explode? Would those film festival critics still praise it? Have some common sense. So many people praise it genuinely; this movie must be quite excellent. I plan to watch it tonight and come back to share my thoughts.]

[I think a movie that makes people feel hopeful and yearning for life after watching it is a movie that heals the heart. And this movie clearly makes most people who watch it pick up their lives again. If this is not a healing movie, then who is?]

[I feel nauseated. Anyone who has seen it live in Cannes knows that people here have become so much more positive because of this movie. Are you haters not even here with a ticket, just commenting remotely? Can you show us your ticket stubs?]

The dispute between the two sides continued unabated, and as the film festival went on, more and more people watched the movie. As the debate intensified, the last day of the Cannes Film Festival finally arrived.

On the last night, a red carpet ceremony and awards ceremony will be held at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, and several awards, including the main prize, the Palme d’Or, will be unveiled that night. The red-carpet appearances of the directors and stars are also a focal point for the journalists.

Since the opening of the festival, “Peaceful Days in Spring” had almost dominated the entire Cannes Film Festival discussion, and many film critics and industry insiders believed that if there were no surprises, this year’s Palme d’Or would surely be “Peaceful Days in Spring.” Some even asserted that Lu Ban might sweep several important film festival awards, including the Palme d’Or.

The journalists also looked forward to the red carpet show.

Because of the wonderful performance of Amber in the movie, people were very curious about this actress who seemed to have never starred in any other film. She was also a strong contender for the Best Actress award at the Palme d’Or this year. On such an important occasion, they believed that Lu Ban would definitely attend with the actress of Amber and appear at the awards ceremony.

As evening approached on the day, crowds surged outside the Palais des Festivals, with countless journalists waiting here for the awarding of the Palme d’Or.

Meanwhile, within the journalists’ circle, a piece of news had spread.

That was that Lu Ban would attend the awards ceremony together with the actress of Amber.
