On the afternoon of May 5, "The Inverse Judgment" officially premiered at the Lumière Hall in Cannes.

The Lumiere Hall has always been responsible for the opening and closing ceremonies, the main competition unit and the premieres of some big-name movies. The photographers here are very familiar with this process, so when Su Lingxi got off the car, he saw photographers holding guns and cannons standing on both sides of the red carpet in front of the hall. Even the street opposite was filled with a row of spectators, which was even more lively than the most famous bar street in the capital.

Looking further away, the road in the area of ​​the Film Palace has been blocked. Police can be seen coming and going to maintain order from time to time, and people from various countries are chatting in various languages ​​outside the red carpet.

"Are you nervous?" The person behind me came up to me, his voice full of joking, and the car door closed. "Relax, nothing has started yet."

Su Lingxi smiled, "More or less, but only a little."

After all, she had only seen the rough cut of the film, and she hadn't seen the final version submitted for review yet.

Whether the content will be changed, whether the essence will be cut... everything has become unknown.

"That's good." Kitagawa Ryoko adjusted her dress and put her arm around her. "The camera is shooting at us, so pay attention to your expression."

Su Lingxi took her arm and walked onto the red carpet with ease, wearing steady high heels. She didn't seem nervous at all because of the live broadcast.

The ceiling of the Lumiere Theater is very high, with countless spotlights hanging on the top. It is shocking when they all light up. The seat layout of the theater is very similar to that of a theater, divided into two floors, and can accommodate a considerable number of people.

Su Lingxi was led by Kitagawa Yoshiko and walked in the front, followed closely by Takeuchi Marin and Suzuki Ami. Dozens of main creators walked into the theater step by step.

During this period, there was constant applause, and Su Lingxi even heard a few screams from fans.

Very cute and enthusiastic, which made her mood much better.

Because the admission process took too long, the pre-screening host session was cancelled at this premiere.

Soon, the main creators took their seats, the lights dimmed, and the formal movie viewing session began.

After the movie’s special opening credits ended, the Cannes logo appeared and applause immediately broke out in the venue.

Immediately afterwards, the iconic Columbia Pictures logo appeared and there was applause from the audience again.

It was not until the words "Reverse Judgement" appeared on the screen that the venue returned to complete silence.

The screen went black and then quickly lit up again. The audience followed every frame with concentration and anticipation. Like them, Su Lingxi watched herself slowly appear in the film with expectant and cautious eyes.

Different from Fujita Ryo's increasingly gentle film style in recent years, Kitagawa Yoshiko is particularly good at creating a gloomy and cold atmosphere, just like in the opening of "The Inverted Judgment": a rainy city area, mossy paths, rain dripping from the eaves, everyone looks hurried, and as the picture pushes back, a mansion with a sharp and peculiar shape appears in the picture, so cold and hard that it seems to be able to cut through the sky.

The atmosphere is well rendered, and the camera slowly moves up along the audience's line of sight, aiming at the exquisitely and beautifully maintained balcony in the mansion.

The next second, two figures appeared next to the glass door, and the camera instantly switched to the room.

"Did you hear what I said?" The man who spoke first had a low voice, revealing a hint of impatience. "Why didn't you respond at all?"

Ayane took her hand back from the doorknob, turned around, and smiled, "Sorry, I was distracted just now."

Perhaps to match the atmosphere of the cloudy day, there was no deliberate lighting in the room, and the light was dim. Only Ayane, dressed in an exquisite pink suit, was gentle and bright, with a gentle smile on her face. She looked like a stereotypical noble lady - of course, she was one, but combined with Morikawa Yoshitaka's casual attitude towards her, it gave people an inexplicable sense of incongruity.

The following conversation further intensified this sense of disharmony: Morikawa kept talking about "life planning", but in fact he just wanted to force his young wife to have a baby for him, while Ayane kept smiling and didn't care - in the eyes of most viewers, her reaction was too bland, and could even be called weak.

Faced with her aggressive husband, this beautiful and gentle woman seemed to have never thought of resisting him, and she couldn't even utter a single tough word.

The audience couldn't help but feel the anger, but when they thought of the title of the film, they silently endured it - maybe there would be some reversal later.

The camera turned and the couple walked down from the second floor harmoniously and began to prepare champagne and food for the upcoming family gathering.

Su Lingxi noticed that Kitagawa Yoshiko cut out a part of their conversation here, probably because she felt it was too redundant. In order to streamline the content of the film, she directly switched to the scene where Morikawa Yoshitaka and Uezono Erika were talking in the kitchen behind Ayane's back.

Only two close-up shots were given, but they were enough for the audience to notice the unusual relationship between the two.

Su Lingxi tilted her head slightly and looked at Suzuki Ami who was sitting next to her. "The micro-expressions here are handled very well."

"No way, Senior, you performed much better than me in those few frames just now." Suzuki Ami was a little shy, but it could be heard that she was quite satisfied with her performance. "It was all thanks to Senior that he was willing to guide me back then, otherwise..."

During the conversation between the two, the atmosphere of this family gathering reached its climax. The couple who were invited to be guests were very affectionate and talked about their son who was born two months ago every other sentence. Along with the lively conversation among several people, the lighting of the picture also became much warmer and brighter.

The audience may not have noticed, but Suzuki Ami noticed: in such an atmosphere, Ayane's smile was still the same as before, even the curve of her mouth was no different. More importantly - the camera recorded the first time Ayane got up to help make coffee and the second time she got up to help get the bottle of water. Although it was only a long shot, it was enough to attract her attention.

These actions are very common, but the camera captured the whole process meticulously, which shows that these seemingly ordinary frames must have other intentions.

Suzuki Ami is like a student who uses the answer to a question to work backwards to figure out the solution process, carefully watching the dancing light and shadow on the screen, striving not to miss any details.
