Lu Ban, My Mental Patient!
Jiang Xia had a miscarriage once when she was still a host at her first TV station. Because she was overworked and didn't take care of her health, she didn't even realize she was pregnant. Finally, after working for 20 hours straight, Jiang Xia collapsed and lost the baby.
Over the years, she has not had children and has focused on her work.
Jiang Xia was taken aback when she heard Lu Ban's words.
"What did you say?"
"There's nothing wrong. He didn't mean to harm you. He's probably just reluctant to leave."
Lu Ban's words made Jiang Xia even more confused. She even subconsciously touched her shoulder, but felt nothing.
No, Jiang Xia suddenly felt something cool brush against the back of her hand.
She was startled and quickly looked over.
It was completely empty.
"However, staying here for so many years is not a good thing for him. Over time, he may unconsciously turn into something not so good."
Lu Ban spoke again.
An overly strong will may attract equally intense desires, ultimately turning into something bizarre that transcends the rules, which is not good for anyone.
"Something not so good?"
Jiang Xia initially thought Lu Ban was teasing her. After all, there had been some negative comments about her online. As an interview host, she often had to touch on issues that celebrities were reluctant to discuss directly, so it was normal for her to be resented.
But the chill I felt just now wasn't fake.
Even though she preferred to believe it was true, Jiang Xia still felt a bit skeptical.
"No problem."
Lu Ban reached out to Jiang Xia and gently touched her shoulder.
It's like stroking a baby's head.
The audience stared blankly at Lu Ban's every move, as if they were looking at a mental patient.
Has Lu Ban really gone mad from making ghost movies?
Jiang Xia felt a lump in her throat, and she hesitated to speak. But as Lu Ban withdrew his hand, she did feel that her shoulders were much lighter, the burden that had been swirling in her heart disappeared, and she felt refreshed.
The audience was still confused, and Jiang Xia looked at Lu Ban with bewilderment.
"It's all fine now. Remember to delete this part during post-production."
Lu Ban withdrew his hand.
"Shall we continue our conversation?"
"Okay, okay."
Jiang Xia was completely stunned by the puzzled looks of the others.
Over the weekend, the edited version of "Weekend Appointment" aired on Xiangnan TV Station.
Although the part where Lu Ban saw the strange object was cut out, Lu Ban's remaining remarks are still noteworthy.
On Weibo, the highlights of this episode from Xiangnan TV Station have garnered countless comments.
I initially thought the director would be a very serious person, but he turned out to be quite interesting.
Lu Ban, my mental patient!
[Perhaps only this kind of thinking can produce such excellent films; isn't the essence of horror films to break the mold?]
At the current rate, "The Mouth of the Madman" will definitely be among the top three highest-grossing films in Chinese film history!
[Your Black Lu Ban is like throwing an axe at the sky. The sky is so high and so vast; no matter how high you throw the axe, you can't even touch its surface.]
What's most terrifying about Lu Ban isn't his movies, but his love and dedication to them, and the speed at which he produces work. Even now, with all his fame, he doesn't even accept a single advertisement. He only appears in public when it comes to topics related to movies. If you ask me, if domestic celebrities could have Lu Ban's level of focus, our film industry would definitely be greatly improved!
My friend told me that the filming location for this show is haunted. Is that true?
[Thanks, Lu Ban. After watching the movie, I thought for a long time about whether the real world is real or not, and how long human civilization could survive in an astronomical apocalypse. I've already bought several sets of physics books!]
Lu Ban ignored these comments. He sat in front of his computer, where the system's cold and indifferent text quietly appeared.

Returning to familiar places can sometimes spark new inspiration. Places you've been before may hold clues you never noticed before. Choose your adventure destination; the scenery of exotic lands is never static.
Please complete the task to receive the reward.
In fact, Lu Ban's earnings, based on box office revenue sharing, have already exceeded 100 million.
Even after deducting company taxes, the revenue from the movie "Lu Ban" is conservatively estimated to exceed one billion yuan. For many companies, one billion yuan might be their entire annual revenue.
But for Lu Ban, a billion in revenue is just a small goal.
Jiangcheng Industries's land alone would cost more than this.
Moreover, in the face of an invasion from another realm, it makes no difference whether it's a billion or a hundred billion; they'll all die a horrible death anyway.
"The pressure is immense."
Despite earning so much money, Lu Ban still felt a lot of pressure.
Sometimes he felt that he was living worse than a dog, at least a dog is well-fed, watered, and walked every day.
Lu Ban, however, was all alone.
There's also a room full of roommates.
"I currently have over 100,000 Silence Points. Based on the rewards from the [Alienation] difficulty, I can easily spend these points on the next mission. Anyway, there's still halfway to unlocking the shop, and I can easily earn back the points I gain in the meantime."
Lu Ban muttered to himself.
"Let's see what options are available for the next mission. We already have two fragments of Du Danping's Melody Fragment. Hmm, if we have the chance to go to Harmony Island, we should also send Momiji's ashes back."
He carefully read the description of the task completion.
"Revisiting familiar places, does that mean I can repeat tasks I've completed before? The flow of time in this other world is different from reality. There must have been several years between my first and last visit to the Ruined City of the Ruined City. Does this mean that the Silent Land allows me to travel through time in this other world?"
Lu Ban pondered.
And the world he lives in is also part of another realm, so perhaps he will have the opportunity to go back to the past?
"If Feng Yu's accident is related to the Silent Land, do I have a chance to save Feng Yu? Or, following this logic, could I encounter the past Du Danping during a mission and ask him about the truth of the Silent Land?"
He had some brilliant ideas.
Because of what Feng Yu showed him at the Horror Cinema, the Chosen of the Gods are able to intervene in the missions of other Chosen of the Gods without accepting their own missions. Therefore, if the missions in the Silent Land can ignore time, then Du Danping could undoubtedly appear at some point in the future, in some place.
Although Du Danping died in the past, he may still live on at some point in the future.
"Let's confirm our own tasks first."
Lu Ban chuckled. Given the current situation, the missions would only become more and more difficult. Missions like [The Mouth of the Madman], which were given away for free, were purely a matter of luck. Even so, the follow-up to this mission almost made Lu Ban's head explode. It was not to be underestimated.
He looked at the task selection screen; this time, there were three tasks to choose from.
