Chapter 346: Taj Court
In the blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of October, and the rainy season in Mumbai has come to an end, and it has begun to change to the dry season.
The most noticeable change is that the frequency of rain begins to decrease and the humidity of the city as a whole begins to decrease.
As for the change in temperature, it is quite like a girl with menstruation, when it is really cloudy and sunny, sometimes hot, sometimes cool.
And it has been nearly a month since Li Zi'an signed Harry Tivedi.
In this month, all the people who followed Li Zi'an to Mumbai were not idle, even Wang Chen, who was the leading teacher, could not escape Li Zi'an's clutches, and was inevitably called for his life.
More than 12 hours a day is the norm.
In just one month, everyone basically got acquainted with Mumbai, and even walked around the suburbs and villages around Mumbai.
However, busy and busy, the efficiency of everyone is still extremely high.
The framework of the crew has been erected.
In the director team, Li Zi'an is the chief director, Lu Jiaming is the assistant director, and the rest of the executive directors and on-set directors are all native Indians, all of whom were dug up by Li Zi'an from Bollywood.
Then there is the photography group, the director of photography is Harry Tivedi, and He Yilun and Lin Cheng, who were also entrusted with the important task this time, are the captains of the 1st and 2nd photography groups respectively, and lead several professional photographers respectively.
Then there is the production team, props team, lighting team, action team, etc., Li Zi'an also has his own people in each team, and the rest are all professionals in India.
As for the actors, with the joining of Harry Tivedi, Li Zi'an only let go out a little bit in the Bollywood Film Academy and Bollywood Studios, and there are countless actors who come to hand in their resumes, and there are even some very famous stars in India who come to audition.
So in terms of actors, after Li Zi'an signed Harry Tivedi, it was quickly completed in a very short time.
Many aspects went hand in hand, and finally on October 21st......
"Let's Wrestle, Dad" is officially launched!
......
Taj Royalty.
The exterior of this hotel is full of traditional Indian court style, with a predominantly white color scheme throughout, and is full of beautifully carved openwork buildings, which occupy a huge area and are full of botanical landscaping.
Located in the heart of Mumbai's city centre, it feels like a small world, and its high style has made Taj Court one of the top high-end hotels in Mumbai.
Today, the launching ceremony of "Wrestling, Dad", Li Zi'an is here.
Located in the auditorium of the Taj Royal Court, the dining tables are arranged in an orderly manner.
The atmosphere in the auditorium is wonderful, with guests in fine or formal attire constantly coming in through the door and then finding their seats to sit quietly.
Sixty percent of these people are crew members, 30 percent are journalists, and the remaining 10 percent are invited guests.
In view of the fact that it is in India, and most of the people in the crew are native Indians, this side is not the same as the one that starts to worship God on the Huaxia side, so Li Zian directly omitted many links.
One step to the stomach......
Ahem, phew, do it all over again!
It's a one-step direct pressure on all the links to the top of the start-up banquet, go through the motions directly on the stage, and then everyone should eat happily, drink, and finally finish this good meal, tomorrow my brother will take you to the countryside!
Tut......
Thinking of the place where he will live and live for a period of time in the future, even Li Zian can't help but sigh a little.
The countryside of India is too shabby, too poor and too dirty!
In that kind of environment, I am afraid that only the gourmet Lao Ba can live very comfortably, and for Li Zi'an and others, who have lived in Chinese cities since childhood, want to adapt to that kind of living environment, it is really difficult for them.
But there is no way, the filming environment is sometimes so bad, since I chose this line of work, I am naturally mentally prepared for such a situation.
And with so many days of buffer period, everyone's respective psychological construction has been almost built.
At five o'clock in the evening Indian time, the sky outside was just beginning to dim and darken, and the people in the hall who should have come were basically all here.
At this time, in the front row of the stage in the auditorium, there are three rows of small stools, on which are all media reporters, of which seventy percent are local media reporters from India, two percent are media reporters from China who came from China specifically for Li Zi'an's new film, and the last one is media reporters from other countries, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and other countries.
Approaching the start of the opening ceremony, many media reporters were whispering and discussing.
Chinese media reporters all sit together, and naturally form a small circle, while Indian media reporters also form a small circle with their counterparts in their own country, and each other's circles are different, and they seem to be very distinct.
"Eh, have you noticed, why are those local Indian media reporters so excited today? Could it be that Li Zi'an has done something big in Mumbai in the past two months that we don't know about?"
A balding middle-aged uncle looked at the Indian media reporters next to him who seemed a little excited, and he couldn't help but ask the question that he had been wondering about for a long time.
When the reporter who met the bald middle-aged uncle heard this, he immediately answered: "Eh, you also found out? I was actually wondering just now, why are these people so excited, although Li Zi'an is indeed not low in popularity in Southeast Asia, but it is not like this, right? Could it be that Li Zi'an paid to hire a trust to be responsible for warming up the field?"
Hearing this, many reporters in the Chinese media circle immediately burst into laughter.
"Big brother, this is not a wedding scene, I want a woolen support!"
"That's right, even if you have to be responsible for warming up, you should find some young and beautiful little girls, and find a group of big men to do something!"
"You tease, happy to kill me!"
......
Everyone opened their mouths to answer, and the small circle suddenly burst into laughter.
When the reporter who said that he was looking for a trust heard this, he smiled: "I just talk about it, talk about it casually." ”
"Anyway, which of you knows Hindi, go and listen to what they are talking about?" the bald middle-aged uncle asked again.
"I know a little bit. A young female reporter answered, and just when everyone was just in some spirits, I saw her say with a bitter face: "But I only understand a little, they speak too fast, and they have a regional accent, I can't understand it at all!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately withered again.
"Hey, then let's just sit and wait, look at the time, the boot-up ceremony should start soon, and when Li Zi'an and them come out, I guess I will know why those Indian reporters are so excited." A reporter sighed.
The bald middle-aged reporter nodded and continued: "But then again, Li Zi'an is really good, he can't be idle for half a year in Mumbai, and after just staying for a month, he made a film project with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, which is awesome!"
"He only invested 70 million in the movie "Big Man", and this movie directly exceeded 100 million, but I think he is a little too sloppy, the style of Indian films is completely different from the style of our Chinese films, Li Zi'an can play in China, but he may not be able to play Indian movies. The young reporter accosted.
"Yes, it's a bit sloppy. ”
"The investment is so big, but the Indian film market is not so prosperous, and I think it's hard to recoup the cost. ”
"Li Zi'an shouldn't want to rely only on the Indian film market, don't forget who is the big guy standing behind Li Zi'an, with that big guy here, it's not easy for Li Zi'an to introduce the movie to domestic theaters!"
"Even if it can be brought back, Indian-style movies in our country fans don't necessarily like to watch, India produces more than 1,000 films every year, how many can be introduced to China? How many can make a lot of money at the box office?
......
Many reporters have different opinions and express their opinions.
In the end, after chatting, everyone's attitude towards Li Zi'an's movie gradually unified, and they were not very optimistic.
Just as everyone was talking, the rear of the scene suddenly remembered a burst of warm applause.
Li Zi'an et al......
It's out!
