On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Li Zi'an, who had only rested at home for two days, once again embarked on a flight to Mumbai, India.

After returning to the Bollywood film studio, Li Zi'an continued to be busy with editing.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Anya, He Yilun and others also came back one after another.

In the blink of an eye, it's March.

......

Tenokon Plaza, located in the heart of Mumbai.

Behind the square of Tennocon is the Tenokon shopping center.

As one of the few large international shopping malls in Mumbai, Lee Zian and others will hold a roadshow here today.

In the spacious lounge of the mall, Li Zi'an, Harry Tiwidi, Anya and others are all there.

"Uncle Harry, the promotional video was released yesterday, have you seen it?

Li Zi'an leaned back on the comfortable sofa, peeled an orange in his hand, and asked with a casual smile at Harry Tivedi.

Harry Tivedi is dressed very formally today, it has been nearly a month and a half since the movie was completed, and Harry Tivedi has lost a lot of weight from his round face due to the original weight gain.

"I watched it, the picture was great, and the suspense was very much. Harry Tivedi first complimented, and then said with a little hesitation: "It's just that you also released the clip of the two Rama shaving their hair in the movie, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of criticism." ”

"Uncle Harry, you can confidently remove the word "I'm afraid", and now there has been a lot of noise on the Internet in India because of this matter. ”

Anya, who was sitting next to Li Zi'an, interjected with a wry smile.

"Really?"

Harry Tivedi was a little surprised.

"Yes, at the moment, most of the comments under our trailer are scolding, and there are only a few sensible comments, but they are basically all drowned out by scolding. ”

Anya opened the Indian social software in her mobile phone, then found the post of their promotional video, clicked on the comments below, and then handed the phone to Li Zi'an, while Harry Tivedi took out his mobile phone himself.

"From the father at an early age, from the husband when he is an adult, and from his son when he dies, women are not allowed to enjoy their own status, this is a law since ancient times, and it is ridiculous that the young Chinese director actually advocates what kind of feminist independence, and his heart can be punished!"

"Men are responsible for making money to support their families, women are born to support their families and children, and if women are also independent, then who will take care of the family?"

"Oh my God, this little girl is only from a low-caste family, how bold is she to dare to shave her head openly, whose child is this? Who are his parents? It must be severely punished, how do they educate their children!"

"Girls are independent? Wouldn't that raise them for nothing? And how can they take back the dowry?!"

"Those high-ranking magnates can naturally shout that men and women are equal, because they have money and power, and we small commoners are not as rich as them!"

......

Looking at the comments on the Internet, Li Zi'an didn't have any fluctuations in his heart, but he felt that such remarks were simply stupid and ridiculous.

As for why not get angry?

It's very simple, it's like two levels of people, you and the ancients said that I can travel thousands of miles a day, and the other party will not believe it anyway.

Because of the solidification of thinking, their thoughts have been imprisoned, and their thoughts have always been confined to their own small world.

The gap between these insanely abused Indians and Li Zi'an is actually not much different from the gap between ancient and modern people.

In their traditional thinking, women are their private property, women are inherently appendages of men, and women should obey their fathers when they are young, their husbands when they are adults, and their husbands from their children.

Now Li Zi'an uses the movie as a spear and pokes at the cage that imprisons them, they feel that their little world has been violated, and they will naturally fight back frantically, hoping to find a common voice on the Internet, the louder the voice, the more they feel that they are right.

Li Zi'an was silent, but Harry Tivedi couldn't help but sigh after reading the comments on the Internet.

"Zi'an, the sources of these comments are all comments from some less developed places in India, and we in the middle and upper classes of India have been working hard to promote gender equality. Harry Tivedi sighed.

Li Zi'an broke off a petal of orange and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Uncle Harry, I won't care, from the moment I plan to put the clip of Little Rama shaving his hair into the trailer, I am ready for the current situation, serious diseases need to be attacked with fierce medicine, only when public opinion reaches its peak, will more people see our movies, and more women will have the opportunity to see our movies, don't care." ”

Looking at Li Zi'an's indifferent and casual appearance, Harry Tivedi was stunned, and then said a little stunned: "Then aren't you afraid of bad reviews that will affect your box office results?"

"Uncle Harry, if I wanted to make money, I wouldn't make this type of movie, for the box office of this movie, my goal is to release it in the second round of theaters, and China, Japan and South Korea are the main positions to harvest the box office. ”

Li Zi'an said while stuffing oranges into his mouth, in fact, to be honest, Li Zi'an didn't look at the box office in Southeast Asia at all.

"Yes. Harry Tivedi smiled, then looked at Li Zi'an very seriously and said: "Zi'an, maybe the box office of this movie will not be too high, but this movie will definitely become a classic." ”

"Wow, Uncle Harry, don't forget, we signed a gambling agreement, if the box office is really not high, your salary will be discounted. Li Zi'an said with a smile.

"It's okay, for this movie, it's worth making half less!"

Harry Tivedi leaned back on the couch with a hearty smile.

The two chatted in the lounge, and soon it was time for the roadshow.

The main creator of the crew sorted out his clothes, and then walked out of the lounge one after another.

Looking down through the floor-to-ceiling windows, I saw that the entire mall was surrounded by fans and passers-by at this time, and it seemed that there were a lot of people.

Li Zi'an just glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze, there was no slightest fluctuation in his heart for such a scene, he had experienced more similar occasions in China, and there were many scenes bigger than this.

Not only Li Zi'an, but even Anya, He Yilun and others are very calm, not to mention Harry Tivedi.

There are only two small actors who are nervous.

Li Zi'an slowly walked in front of little Rama, looking at little Rama whose hair was still short, Li Zi'an gently put his right hand on her shoulder: "Rama, are you nervous?"

Little Rama looked up and saw that it was Li Zi'an, who was originally extremely tense, and subconsciously relaxed a little.

"It's kind of ...... A little nervous. ”

Little Rama whispered.

"With us by your side, you don't have to be nervous, you don't have to pay attention to the voices outside, whether it's praise or abuse, you just need to be yourself. ”

Li Zi'an touched his head and said.

"Good. ”

Little Rama replied very tactfully.

Looking at the little Rama in front of him, Li Zi'an didn't say anything more.

It was already a raging storm outside, and it might be cruel to let a little girl who was only ten years old endure all this.

But the ancient language wants to wear a crown must bear its weight, as the little heroine of this movie, if this movie becomes popular in the future, then the ensuing criticism is bound to become more and more popular.

Huge popularity and monstrous abuse, the two are destined to be entangled to death.

Only by withstanding the baptism of wind and rain can we be worthy of the luck of one step to the sky.

For little Rama, Li Zi'an is very confident.

Because he knows very well in his heart how strong little Rama's heart is and how strong his vision for the future is......
