Chapter 451: Why Are You So Skilled?
Coming back from the "Amphibious Club", Gu Biao rarely entered a quiet vacation.
Akio Morita and Kissinger's old friends who abandoned politics and engaged in business, they have all made friends who should have made friends, and all the serious things that should be discussed have been discussed.
The alumni association, which will send Kissinger to retire, will not be held until mid-January, after the New Year's Day holiday.
The manuscript of "On China" has also been handed over to the publisher, and the rest is not for Gu Biao to worry about.
As for forcing Akio Morita to "build an after-sales service system with Tiankun in a new model", and even entrusting Peterson/Schwartzman to invest in specific projects, it will not be started until he graduates after graduation.
He tweaked his schedule.
I found that apart from paying attention to Yamauchi's Nintendo from time to time to prevent them from cracking the black hand on the quality of Tiankun in the Christmas marketing offensive and the rest of the news, there is nothing to pay attention to.
It's rare for a hard-working guy like him to have a good Christmas-New Year's Day holiday in the United States.
It was also his last long vacation in the United States.
The next day was Saturday, which was also Christmas Eve.
Gu Biao, who hadn't slept for a long time, slept beautifully until near noon before getting up and had two breakfast and brunch together.
Tidy up a little, then leave the Breham car at the villa and go out with only the Pontiac Firebird.
When he reached an intersection from the embassy district, he pulled over to the side, dialed a number from the car phone, and hung up after two rings, without waiting for the other party to answer.
Five minutes later, Ye Kun appeared.
She changed into another beautiful outfit that also belongs to the "Monaco Royal Family Free Trial Outfit", but it was not the same dinner dress as last night, but a more convenient and everyday style. Still carrying Hermes Kelly's bag, he stepped on a neat broken step like an agent, and swooped into Gu Wei's car.
Gu Wei is here to repay the debt, and last night Ye Su complained about him, saying that he didn't take her to preview "The Last Emperor", which made her almost unable to cope with the conversation between those noble ladies.
Of course, I have to make up for it today.
Gu Biao specially found a small movie theater with a lot of history near South White House Street, and solemnly invited guests.
Not far from that place, there are the National Museum of American History and the National Museum of Art, both of which are the most formidable existences.
In the theater, the lower floor is an ordinary seat, and there is a double box compartment on the overhead level, with only one row, similar to the layout of a classical opera house in Vienna. Of course, Gu Biao made an appointment for a box in advance.
The film "The Last Emperor", Gu Biao watched it in his previous life.
But this time and space, Bertolucci will shoot again, and it may not be exactly the same as the original, and Gu Biao has not seen this version of the finished film.
This movie was shut down in the spring of this year, and it was edited and post-produced later, plus it had to be translated, dubbed from multiple countries, and strived for simultaneous global distribution as much as possible, so it was delayed until the fourth quarter to be released, which is not slow.
And in order to win the Oscar, not just a "Best Foreign Language Film", this film was directly required to be shot in English when it was filmed.
Because the Oscars define whether a film is a major winner or a foreign-language film, one of the biggest hurdles is what your original language is. If English is dubbed, or even the original voice of the actor himself, then you can only comment on foreign language films.
As for whether the film was shot in the United States, and whether the investor and director are American, it is not very important. With the Monaco capital background behind Bertolucci, it is enough.
The distributor of the film in North America is, of course, Miramax under Gu Biao, and the distribution rights in Europe are sold by Monaco Capital at will, which is said to be handled by Princess Caroline, and Gu Biao did not ask.
On Wasonton's side, the film was released for a week or two, and the response was really good, which greatly satisfied the Americans' snooping on the mystery of the East.
Although the box office can't be compared with local movies, at least people who are willing to spend money to buy tickets and belong to the target audience say that they are good after watching it. Typical small but beautiful works for a specific target group.
Ye Kun also hasn't seen it, so when I talked to other ladies last night, I was surprised, which is different from many descriptions in "The First Half of My Life".
This added to her curiosity.
The film begins quickly, and the solemn memories at the beginning of the film are not much to say, and the heaviness of history is brought to the extreme by Bertolucci's subtle technique.
The brisk childhood, the rush to change when I was a teenager, and then the intensification of the contradictions, the whole rhythm is still very good.
Ye Su looked at it, and really looked into it, not paying attention to the movie that Gu Biao asked her to watch, and she didn't want to say anything more, so she was quite comfortable quietly.
However, when she saw the middle part, she breathed a little faster, and then forced herself to compose.
Bertolucci has the romantic shamelessness of an Italian, someone according to his autobiography, he is obviously incompetent, and in the movie, Uncle Daoming actually had a Shuangfei CHUANG drama with Chen Chong and Liu Xiaoqing, and he put on a quilt and guessed which woman was which woman by touch.
This, this, this...... It's disrespectful to history!
Of course, those who have watched the film know that the arrangement of this plot has its cause and effect - the film beautifies the protagonist, saying that he wants to thoroughly investigate the theft of antiquities by the eunuchs in the palace and the internal affairs office, and also poses as "not afraid of those who are investigated and jump over the wall to kill the king", but the concubine is in danger, and she does not dare to sleep alone out of fear, so she comes to the dormitory to seek "shelter".
Concubine Shu's lines are also very funny, obviously seeing how the protagonist and Wanrong are already there, she also came over in white pajamas, pretending to be pitiful and asking: "I'm also afraid, can I join you." β
Although Ye Xian has seen a lot of foreign movies, she is more tutored and sullen, generally does not watch restricted movies, and has never seen Chinese do such a shameful performance on the big screen.
This is not surprising, with the level of openness of the Chinese people at the end of 83, it is normal that they have not seen such a thing. Even if you come to the United States to work for a few years, as long as you don't deliberately let go, you will rarely see it.
In fact, this footage, the version played in China today is also not, it has been edited, and there is no need to be afraid of domestic children being taught badly - this, everyone who has downloaded Thunderbolt resources in later generations knows that even if it is a Chinese version of the resource, when it is placed here, it will become English, because the original shooting is in English, and Chinese does not exist this scene, so there is no need for dubbing.
"Shameless! What a female hooligan screenwriter! Sure enough, a hooligan, such a shameless plot can be written! Why because I am afraid of wanting to be sheltered, I just nest together with a group of women...... It's so unreasonable, who is afraid that when they are afraid, they will drill into a man's bed, or will they drill together? It's only their own shamelessness that they can come up with this kind of thing!"
Ye Kun grabbed the armrest of the sofa and stared at the shameless camera on the screen, his nails were embedded in the leather, and he scolded Xiao Sui a hundred times in his heart.
Fortunately, Ye Su didn't know the details of Mina, otherwise the curse in his heart would definitely have to be added: You female hooligan, artistic creations all come from your life with Mina!
If Xiao Sui knew, she would definitely have to shout innocent: she didn't say anything about it, and she didn't want to write it like this at first, it was the great director Bertolucci who had to add a play, saying that a biographical movie without emotional drama is not plump.
Xiao Sui also pinched his nose and tried his best to make up for it under the framework of Bertolucci, so that the logic was unreasonable and became as reasonable as possible.
"Shuangfei because of fear" is already the most unobtrusive form she can think of.
Ye Kun's inner curse subsided when the Shuangfei drama was interrupted by the plot of "the eunuch set fire to Jianfu Palace for fear of checking the accounts" outside the window.
"Female hooligan! The ability to whet the audience's appetite is very good! Just a few minutes before the play, a fire interrupted, those lustful people must be provoked, it's despicable. Fortunately, a decent person like my sister won't be teased by you!"
She confidently shouted for her name in her heart, then calmed down and secretly observed Gu Ao's reaction with a sideways eye.
Gu Biao also looked calm and old, and he didn't have any mood swings because of seeing Shuangfei's play.
But Ye Kun's appraisal of Gu Biao and her own appraisal are obviously double standards.
She actually wanted to endure it, but for a moment she didn't know why she couldn't bear it, so she blurted out:
"Why are you so skilled! I wasn't surprised at all to see this kind of shot, how many little girls have been trained!"
Gu Biao was speechless for a while.
If you have no waves, you are serious, and if I have no waves, you are proficient?
But Gu Biao knew that forcibly explaining would only make the other party more energetic, so he chose to compromise: "Okay, I confess, I really hurt two, so I'm not surprised." β
Shamelessly admitted.
Ye Su could only end up with a contemptuous snort.
β¦β¦
After watching "The Last Emperor" restlessly, when I came out of the cinema, it was already around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
It's too early to eat dinner, but Gu Biao doesn't mind eating afternoon tea and dinner together because it was originally eaten together.
At the end of December, at Watsington, there was no sunshine at 4 o'clock, only gloomy clouds, and the streets were very cold.
From the entrance of the theater to the parking space, in just a few dozen meters, Gu Wei subconsciously took off his windbreaker and blocked it for Ye Kun, and casually suggested: "I ate brunch together, and I'm already hungry." I know that there is a shop in Chinatown that also sells afternoon tea, how about it? β
Ye Wei was noncommittal, and Gu Wei drove straight to the intersection of Seventh Avenue and H Street.
Because tonight is Christmas Eve, Americans are used to going home to reunite with their families and cook their own meals, and even if the restaurant is open, there is no business, so it will not be open for a long time.
Only in Chinatown will all the shops be open, and many American single dogs will also come to Chinatown to eat, which is very lively.
Gu Biao is looking for a Cantonese tea restaurant that also serves English afternoon tea, but the cooking skills are really good.
After taking a seat, I ordered tea, English blueberry muffins, and hot chocolate waffles. Then I ordered the dinner dish again and asked the chef to serve it later. Most of them are Cantonese dishes, but there is also a Christmas goose roasted using the Beijing Roast Duck method.
The refreshments were quickly served, and Ye Kun and Gu Biao both took a big sip of warmth first, and both of them were quite emotional.
Ye Su exhaled a hot breath: "You have been in the United States for two years, and you have finally survived." Today, I will practice it for you in advance, and I wish you a great future when you return to China. β
Gu Biao: "To borrow your auspicious words, in the past few years, I have no other colleagues and friends in the United States. There are only teachers, subordinates, and even classmates who studied with Kissinger in graduate school, and there is not a single one left in the last two semesters.
I can ask you for help, and if it weren't a violation of discipline to send you something one day, I'd definitely express my friendship, but I don't want that dayβit's definitely not because I'm reluctant to pay for it.
It's because if there is such a day, it means that you are no longer an official and no longer pursue your dream of serving the country. I've always respected you, and I don't think we should try to change each other's goals in life so that our relationship lasts. β
"Hehe, although you are brazen, you are not a true villain. Obviously, if you don't want to take the initiative, don't refuse, and don't take responsibility, you can say it so openly. Ye Su couldn't help but complain.
In good conscience, in the past two or three years, when Gu Wei first came to the United States, Ye Kun was very sure in his heart.
She looked down on the female hooligan Xiao Sui at all, and felt that a womanizer like Gu Biao did not look like a person who could hold it.
If Gu Biao dared to violate her, she would definitely not resist - but she was sure that as long as Gu Biao dared to do it, she would be able to force Gu Biao to be responsible. Gu Biao wanted to withdraw without touching a leaf, but it was absolutely unthinkable.
She, Miss Ye, is not the kind of female hooligan who can compromise and seek perfection.
However, Gu Biao proved with his own actions that although he was lustful, he still adhered to the three principles. Knowing that some women have to be responsible for touching it, he can rely on reason to suppress himself from touching it, and he has remained innocent until he graduates.
Gu Biao listened to the young lady's complaints, but laughed heartily: "Is it still a true villain with a consistent heart? Isn't this Mao Zonggang's comment to Cao Cao's 'Rather teach me to bear the world's people, and don't let the world's people bear me' in Mao's book of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Shouldn't I be honored to describe my personal virtues? β
Gu Biao is just "laughing" neutrally here, which is neutral, not "happy to hear it".
Just like in the pertinent "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when Cao Cao heard Xu Shao say that he was a "traitor in troubled times", he only "laughed". It was only when it came to Cao Hei's inclined acting that he became "overjoyed", as if Cao Cao liked to be a traitor in troubled times.
Whether it is a traitor or a lustful and shameless person, it is all the times pushing Gu Biao, and it is a matter of course.
It can't be said that he is determined to be a traitor and a womanizer.
At best, it can only be regarded as a frank and relaxed acceptance of fate.
In such a tacit and thorough atmosphere, the two had a relaxed and happy Christmas Eve dinner. Ye Kun can be regarded as untying the knot in his heart, and he has given up his sense of existence, and everyone will always maintain a friendship in the future.
After eating, he bought something very homely and homely, and Gu Wei warmly sent Ye Su back to the embassy, and then went home by himself.
