Chapter 341: Meet Harry Tiwidi
After about a minute, the glasses assistant walked out of the break room.
"Mr. Harry Tivedi, please come in. ”
The glasses assistant opened the door, and he said to Li Zi'an and the others slightly sideways, and at the same time made a gesture of please in his hand.
When Li Zi'an heard this, he glanced at each other, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Thank you. ”
Li Zi'an thanked the glasses assistant, and then hurried into the lounge quickly.
The lounge that the Bollywood Film Academy prepared for Harry Tivedi is very luxurious, and it is a bit inaccurate to say that it is a lounge, and it may be more accurate to describe it as a luxury apartment.
Passing around the corner of the entrance, Li Zi'an saw Harry Tivedi himself in the living room, and the other party was pinching and smoking a cigar in his hand.
Seeing Li Zi'an walk in, the international movie star looked at Li Zi'an with a slight scrutiny in his eyes.
Just when Wang Chen was about to open his mouth to introduce Li Zi'an, Li Zi'an took the lead in speaking, and when he opened his mouth, he spoke authentic Hindi, which was extremely pure, even more standard than Wang Chen, a person who had been in India for many years.
"Hello Mr. Harry Tivedi, I am an exchange student from the Department of Directing of the Film School of Huaxia University of the Arts, my name is Li Zi'an, I am a young director of China, I came today to discuss cooperation with Mr. Harry Tivedi. ”
Li Zi'an didn't say too much nonsense, and when he came up, he went straight to the point and expressed his intention, after all, his time was only ten minutes.
Wang Chen was stupid, his mind was full of question marks.
When did Lee Tzu Ann become Hindi?
Wang Chen was confused, but he also knew that now was not the time to ask about it, so he could only suppress his doubts in his heart.
"Sit down. Harry Tivedi gestured with his left hand to the seat in front of him, and then he smiled, "I know you." ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Harry Tivedi's words, Li Zi'an was stunned for a moment.
Harry Tivedi smiled: "I have seen your "Perfect Stranger", a very good film, which is full of torture about gender, human nature, marriage, and love. ”
When Li Zi'an heard this, he suddenly felt a little surprised.
Originally, he was still a little worried about how to introduce himself to Harry Tivedi, but it turned out that Harry Tivedi knew him, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"I heard from my assistant that you are planning to make a film that has invested more than a billion rupees, and you are quite confident that the film will grossing more than 10 billion rupees?" asked Harry Tivedi.
"Yes, I said that. ”
Li Zi'an responded very calmly.
"Although your first two films have achieved good results, there is no one in the film industry who is a winning general, so you are so confident that your next film will definitely grossing more than 10 billion rupees?"
Harry Tivedi asked with interest.
"My self-confidence comes from my own strength, from my past achievements, from the script in my hands, from my sufficient capital chain, and from my professional team. ”
"What's more, as a creator, if you don't even have confidence in your own work, how can you create a work that others will love?"
Li Zi'an replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and did not have the slightest restraint because of Harry Tivedi's coffee position.
"Interesting. Harry Tivedi muttered softly, and his eyes looked at Li Zi'an with a little appreciation: "The last sentence is good, I like it." ”
Harry Tivedi adjusted his sitting position slightly, and he asked again, "But why are you asking me to cooperate?"
"Because I think my film is a perfect fit for Mr. Harry Tivedi and it fits well with your philosophy all along, Mr. Harry Tivedi. Li Zi paused and continued: "As far as I know, Mr. Harry Tiwidi, you have been working hard to promote the gender equality movement and the women's independence movement in India, and the core of my film is to advocate for women's independence. ”
"Before I came to you, I actually sent my assistant to contact a few Indian movie stars, but when they heard that my film was about like this, they all refused, I don't know if they didn't dare or didn't want to, but I think Mr. Harry Tivedi should dare and will. ”
Harry Tivedi listened to Li Zi'an's introduction, and his eyebrows were slightly raised.
And Anya and Wang Chen, who were beside Li Zi'an, were very quiet, Anya was slightly better, and Wang Chen was a little nervous.
"Mr. Harry Tiwidi, before I came to India, I was going to make a comedy, but the day after I came to India, I changed my mind, do you know why?"
Li Zi'an's tone was sincere, and his eyes were clear and he looked at Harry Tivedi.
"That night, standing in an upscale open-air restaurant on the beach of Gioberti on the promenade, I watched a mother bruised and wailing in front of her husband in full view of her, while the people around her were all cold-eyed, and even when the police came, they just glanced at her and turned away. ”
"What did that woman do wrong? she just took her young child to the beach for a while, bought the little girl a crispy ball cake for only 1 rupee, and was treated like this by the man?"
"To be honest, that scene was really shocking, but the most unforgettable thing for me was the indifference and naturalness of others, from their eyes, I saw their contempt and contempt for women, the traditional concept that is deeply ingrained in their minds, is the most chilling. ”
Listening to what Li Zi'an said, Harry Tivedi's face became a little more serious, and unconsciously, he slowly put the cigar in his hand aside.
"Choosing to shoot a film with the theme of advocating women's independence is destined to infringe on the rights and interests of some people, and it is destined that the film will be filmed with a lot of difficulties and criticism, in fact, as an exchange student, I don't need to do this at all, I can make a comedy, which saves time and effort. ”
"But I chose this kind of subject for the shoot, because I felt that if I could awaken the sense of independence of some women because of me, so that they could have the courage to live for their own lives, I think I didn't come to India in vain. ”
At the end, Harry Tivedi looked deeply at the young man in front of him.
He felt both ashamed and shocked at the moment.
It is a shame that in his country, when women are trampled on like this, no one in his country has any pity, but the person who has pity is a foreigner, how can he not be ashamed.
What is shocking is that this young man's mind and height are willing to risk the world's condemnation to help a group of people who have nothing to do with him.
For a moment, Harry Tivedi was a little speechless.
"Dangdang ......"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the assistant probe reminded softly: "Mr. Harry Tiwidi, the break time is almost up." ”
Hearing the assistant's reminder, Harry Tivedi came back to his senses, and Li Zi'an and the three of them also got up from their chairs with great interest.
"Harry Tiwidi, once again I would like to extend a cordial invitation to you to join me in this film. ”
Li Zi'an said this, and he took two things from Anya.
"This is the script for our film, Mr. Harry Tivedi, if you are interested, you can take a look. ”
Li Zi'an first put down a script, and then took out a check.
"This cheque is a cheque from Hua Xia Bank, cashable worldwide, if Mr. Harry Tivedi you are willing to join our film, you can fill in the numbers on this cheque as you like as your remuneration, I will not counteroffer. ”
Placing these two things on the table, Li Zi'an smiled at Harry Tivedi.
"Mr. Harry Tiwidi, we will not delay your time any longer, we look forward to your good news, goodbye!"
After speaking, Li Zi'an bowed slightly to Harry Tivedi, and then handed Anya and Wang Chen a look, and the three of them turned around and left very simply.
Harry Tivedi looked at the backs of Li Zi'an and the others, and then looked at the script and check on the table, he was shocked by Li Zi'an's atmosphere again before he could recover from the shocking emotions just now.
"Are all the young people in China so powerful?"
Harry Tivedi muttered under his breath.
From meeting him at the beginning, to the self-report in the middle, to the final departure, the whole process was almost controlled by Li Zi'an.
Especially Li Zi'an's neither humble nor arrogant bearing, and the last extraordinary atmosphere.
made Harry Tivedi's attention to Li Zi'an turn up geometrically in his heart.
Looking at the script and the check in front of him, Harry Tivedi reached out and took the two things.
"Wrestle, Daddy?"
Looking at the Hindi title on the script, Harry Tiwidi had a strange look in his eyes.
He had to admit that Li Zi'an's words just now moved him, and he was even interested in the script that Li Zi'an brought.
He didn't have time to look at them now, though, and after tucking them into the bag he was carrying with him and storing them, he gathered his thoughts, straightened his clothes, and walked briskly out of the lounge back to the Great Hall......
