Chapter 362: The Premiere of the Car God
I have been to Paris so many times, and I have not really enjoyed the services of the so-called high society, so I booked the Cristal Room and pretended to be a prisoner.
Known as the darling of the royal family, it was founded by the charter of Louis XV in 1764, and since then it has won the favor of royalty and nobility from all over the world, and the French, British, Russian and Indian royal families are its fans.
So the princess and prince in the real world are really under the crystal lamp, drinking with a crystal cup and eating with a crystal bowl!
When you come to a luxurious villa that looks like a castle, it is Baccarat's maison, and you can see the red curtains printed with the Baccarat logo from afar, and the shadow of crystal lamps faintly reveals inside, as if there is a royal ball waiting for the princes and princesses in full costumes.
Pushing open the gate of the Crystal Palace, the two of them were greeted by a neat and starry Christmas tree, a red gift box piled up under the dazzling crystal closet, looking at Su Yao's eyes full of little stars, Ding Cheng shook his head secretly, woman!
There is a red carpet at the end of the Christmas tree forest, silently inviting VIPs to explore the world of Crystal further. Walking up the red carpet with Yaozai in his arms, even the elevator door is transparent, as if it is carved from red crystal, glowing with a mysterious red light.
From the staircase to the second floor, a huge crystal lamp is paired with a spiral staircase, and the handrails seem to be carved out of crystal. Surrounded by mirror walls, crystal lamps and charming red light, it feels like the world is overlapping and endless......
The waiter led the two to their seats, and Ding Cheng stared curiously at the crystal lamp above his head, which had a mysterious and decadent special texture. In fact, it is not completely transparent, but it is dark black, this is the legendary black crystal?
"Our opaque crystal is the genius of Baccarat art, without increasing the lead content, still maintaining a high refractive index, and at the same time becoming opaque colors, including black crystal, red crystal, blue crystal, etc., ......"
The VIP manager personally came to serve and recommended a powder champagne as an aperitif, introducing: "The most special thing here is the goblet, which is fired with pure gold baccarat red, which is definitely suitable for wedding gifts." ā
"Just this past Christmas, Chanel N°5 unveiled its first luxurious red Christmas limited edition, and the bottle is this Baccarat red ......"
Ding Cheng took the menu with a smile, it was also bright red, and the decoration was very forced, but each dish was only a few dozen euros, which was quite affordable.
The most expensive is really the wine, poured into the crystal cup, I don't know if it is a psychological effect, really inexplicably has a particularly mellow and smooth taste?
To be honest, the food is very ordinary, except for Chinese food, other snacks are not even snacks for themselves, pack a few sets of top crystal cups before leaving, and take them back to give people to play.
I originally planned to go to the southern winery to have a look, but Uncle Mi changed the itinerary with a phone call, and the Phantom Car God was about to premiere.
When you come to Mumbai, you can finally release it for more than half a year, and you have a rare opportunity to participate in the premiere in this magical country, which must not be missed.
"Ding Cheng is the most dedicated actor I have ever met!"
"It's a pleasure to work together, and I've learned a lot from him, even Wing Chun, right?"
In the face of the swarming media, Uncle Mi hugged Ding Cheng's shoulders and said very enthusiastically: "I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate once a year!"
Seeing that all the cameras were locked on him, Ding Cheng smiled and responded in fluent Hindi: "I am also very happy to have the opportunity to learn the advanced film concepts of Bollywood, and I am full of expectations for this magical land." ā
"Every year, many excellent Indian films are introduced in China, and the box office has been getting higher and higher in the past two years, which fully shows that the two cultures have common exchanges and aesthetics. ā
"It has been very rewarding to work with Aamir Khan this time, and of course I hope that everyone will recognize my performance. ā
After a commercial blow, inviting various media into the VIP room, Aamir Khan took himself to sit in the front row, and the legendary premiere finally began.
"A lot of us Indians don't like to watch TV, and the highest viewership is always cricket. Their love for movies is beyond your imagination!"
Aamir Khan whispered: "A lot of people have to watch a movie or two a week, and almost none of them have not been to the theater in a year. ā
Ding Cheng nodded, although the theater environment is average, this is still in the big city of Mumbai, and the conditions in other places are even worse, and there is no comparison with China, let alone IMAX.
Many people don't understand why almost every Indian movie has a singing and dancing scene?
After on-the-ground contact, first of all, the life and religion of the Indian people are inseparable from song and dance, and it has become a way of life and national characteristics that have been passed down from generation to generation. Even if different dialects are spoken in different places, singing and dancing will always be the same language.
Secondly, because the gap between the rich and the poor is too large and the social contradictions are more acute, the government also hopes to highlight the entertainment through singing and dancing, trying to ease and divert the contradictions.
The education level of ordinary audiences is low, and singing and dancing can improve the viewing and entertainment, attracting most of the ordinary people to watch movies in the cinema. Coupled with the full three-hour running time, a large number of singing and dancing can extend the film time and make the audience feel that the movie ticket is worth the price.
Even Uncle Mi, who is mixed with the national idol, is not exempt from vulgarity, and he has to dance two or three sections bare-chested, which is already considered a few. You must know that a typical Bollywood film has at least five or six gorgeous songs and dances, and it must be a happy ending.
Known as a masala movie, the Hindi word for spice mix is a hodgepodge of love, action, song and dance, comedy elements and happy endings.
"A lot of them are actually remakes of Tamil and Taylor films nowadays, because the four southern states that speak these two languages account for 60% of the country's screens, but only Hindi films can be sold in the international market. ā
"For example, last year's "Unknown Death" I filmed was also a remake of "Unknown Death" starring Sulia, a big star in the Tamil-speaking region. ā
Uncle Mi said helplessly: "There are too few good scripts in any country!"
Ding Cheng sighed, there is no way to do it, if he didn't come to the field to go around, he wouldn't have thought that the seemingly poor India could see the movie posters posted on the wall wherever he went!
This is a scene that is unimaginable in both Korea and France, and the overwhelming publicity mode makes it difficult not to enter the theater. At the same time, there are many levels of cinemas, and there are five-star luxury cinemas with expensive ticket prices, such as this one, which is now premiering.
There are also ordinary cinemas for the poor, and every class can find a place to watch movies suitable for consumption, to complete the spiritual feast twice a week.
I heard that the ordinary ticket price is much cheaper than that in China, which is equivalent to about 10 yuan. You also have to go through the security gate to enter the theater, most of them are a large family or a group of friends, couples or two friends are not considered mainstream, and one person who watches a movie will be despised by others!
Under the dimming of the lights, the premiere finally began, Ding Cheng watched a 3D Indian flag fluttering in the wind on the big screen, and the majestic national anthem sounded in his ears......
I can't help but think that I heard the little girl say that the national anthem will be played in a specific area at 6 p.m. every night in Bangkok, and the locals will stop what they are doing and stand quietly until the end of the national anthem?
After playing the national anthem, I sat down again, I thought the feature film would start immediately, but I watched a full seven or eight minutes of advertising?
Seeing Uncle Mi's accustomed expression, there are not only trailers for upcoming films, but also smoking is harmful to health...... Don't defecate in the open...... There is even the promotion of small businesses around the theater?
finally started, and in the past two years, I have rarely participated in the premiere, because it is only screened in China, and there are no English subtitles, so I can only grieve Yaozai and the little girl to watch the picture.
With the ups and downs of the plot, bursts of applause and laughter sounded in the ears, especially the first song and dance, and everyone was jubilant.
Ding Cheng is very depressed, you guys are high-end media, can you be more reserved?
"We are very engaged in watching movies, and the audience often sheds tears when they are moved, laughs out loud when they are happy, and even applauds and cheers together at a certain point in the movie. ā
Uncle Mi explained: "I once met a big family, and the hostess in her fifties was extremely excited throughout the movie. Crying and laughing with the plot, all emotions are vented undisguised, as if she has become the protagonist of the movie. ā
Ding Cheng just wanted to speak, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and all the lights were turned on?
