Chapter 400: The last sentence lit up
"Jon, your first date with Simon, you must not lose your manners and manners when you dress well. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"Isn't this what you usually wear when you go shopping, how can you dress so casually and go on a date with Simon......
"Oh my God, this necklace...... Don't you think it doesn't match the Gucci style you're wearing......"
"Wait, you're just coping with your makeup, and you haven't even sprayed perfume......"
"Come up with Mommy, Mommy will dress up with you......"
"That's right, my daughter should be so noble and beautiful."
After a long toss, Chen Qiaoen, who was carefully dressed, was dressed beautifully and fragrantly, and left the house with the global limited edition LV.
Chen Xiangnan sighed comfortingly: "My daughter is finally sensible, maybe we will be able to drink her and Simon's engagement wine next year." ”
"Husband, are you so optimistic about Jon and Simon?"
"What's the problem? For more than a year, she didn't go on a blind date; The boy pursued her, she didn't look at it, and she was even more disdainful of all kinds of dates, and it was rare that she was willing to agree to Simon to date alone this time.
Speaking of which, I also think Simon is a good kid, and he is a good match for Jon. When I was playing golf with his father the other day, we talked about the future of our two children, and they liked Jon a lot. ”
"The future? Don't you sense that Jon is casual about today's date and doesn't pay attention to it at all. ”
"Is there one?"
"Forget it, you men are always like this......"
When Chen Xiangnan and his wife were communicating in the living room, Chen Qiaoen had already walked out of the luxurious villa.
Outside the door, on the spacious, smooth and clean road, a brand new 04 Bentley Continental is parked on the side of the road.
Simon leaned against the car door with a large bouquet of flowers in his arms, and immediately straightened his waist when he saw Chen Qiaoen come out, but he seemed to be stunned and motionless.
It wasn't until Chen Qiaoen walked in that he pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Joe, I say sorry for my distraction, you are so beautiful." When I saw you before, I thought you were beautiful, but when I see you again today, I realize that I need to redefine the concept of 'beauty'. Please forgive me for my gaffe, this bouquet of flowers is given to you, I like you and you will not be disgusted. ”
The words are very ironing, the praise is also very clever, and the calm voice is a little magnetic.
Just like Simon, he is tall and handsome, sunny and funny, with a prominent family background, like a piece of fat pork, no matter what he throws into any barren grass, it will cause the vast majority of women to scream wildly, and moths will be sent to the bed like a fire.
Chen Qiaoyan is an exception.
She took the bouquet, smiled politely, and said "thank you."
Gentleman Simon pulls the door open and holds the back of his hand against the upper frame of the door. waited until Chen Qiaoen sat down firmly before closing the car door.
Then he walked quickly to the cab, opened the door and got into the car, and saw that the flowers had been placed in the back seat of the car, Chen Qiaoen was wearing a seat belt, and he thoughtfully wanted to help.
"No, I can do it myself." Chen Qiaoen declined his kindness and fastened his seat belt, "What are your arrangements today?" ”
"It's half past eleven, let's go to dinner first, I've already booked a place, and I have a surprise for you in the afternoon."
Chen Qiaoen didn't ask any surprises, and Simon didn't say anything, and drove Chen Qiaoen to an authentic high-end French Western restaurant, where the chef was a chef from France.
The French have always been known for being good at eating and being good at eating, and French cuisine is still the best Western cuisine in the world. Marseille fish soup, foie gras steak, Paris lobster, pheasant in red wine, chicken saffro, chicken liver steak and more are all famous dishes in French cuisine.
French cuisine has a wide selection of ingredients, fine processing, exquisite cooking, strong and light taste, and rich varieties of colors.
Due to the emphasis on seasoning, seasoning with wine has become a specialty in French cuisine. Champagne, red wine, white wine, sherry, rum, brandy...... There are strict rules about what kind of food to use and what kind of wine to use, and the amount used is very large, so French cuisine has the aroma of wine, and the aroma is strong when you smell it.
The dining environment is elegant, the dishes are delicious, Simon's witty words make Chen Qiaoen smile from time to time, this meal is not boring.
After tasting desserts, tasting French-style coffee, and listening to the French-style music in the restaurant, Simon took out a beautifully packaged gift: "For you, I hope you can like it." This is the ...... I picked especially for you when I went to Italy the other day."
"Thank you."
Chen Qiaoen took the gift, did not open the package, just politely thanked him, and put it directly in the LV bag.
Seeing this, Simon closed his mouth very much, and instead of continuing to introduce the gift, he said: "What do you think of the coffee in this restaurant......
The two chatted around the coffee for a while, and seeing that the time was approaching two o'clock, Simon beckoned the waiter to settle the bill.
After leaving the restaurant and getting in the car, Simon brought up the topic of "coffee" again: "I heard from a friend that there is a very stylish café on XX Road, and the taste of coffee is also good, and the most commendable thing is their unique ......"
"It's up to you."
Chen Qiaoen has always had a natural attitude, whether it is flowers, gifts, French restaurants, or specialty cafes, they have not aroused her interest, and her face is indifferent.
However, after following Simon around the alley and entering a small shop, she showed a surprised look for the first time.
The exterior of the shop is old, but the interior decoration is delicate and soft, using asymmetrical techniques, using arcs and S-shaped lines, as well as shells, whirlpools, and mountain stones as decorative themes.
The ceiling and the wall are connected by a curved surface, and the frescoes are arranged at the corners, which is a typical Rococo decoration style that once swept Europe.
This café is located in an old-fashioned alley with the traditional characteristics of the East China Sea.
The location is slightly off, if it weren't for Simon to lead the way, Chen Qiaoen might not be able to find here.
However, the business here is not bad, not very large in the store, rough estimates, the attendance rate is more than 70%, and it is now more than two o'clock in the afternoon!
And judging from the clothing, dress, sitting posture, and expression, the guests who come to drink coffee belong to the middle class and above and are full of petty bourgeoisie.
After the two of them sat down, the waiter came, a foreigner with a high nose and big eyes, and asked them very enthusiastically what kind of coffee they were drinking.
"Two glasses of Blue Mountain."
After a while, two cups of fragrant coffee were placed in front of the two of them, golden brown in the sun, and the coffee in the cups and the foam floating on them formed a heart-shaped pattern.
"Have a nice afternoon with both of you, my name is John, and you can call me if you need anything."
Chen Qiaoen couldn't help but be curious: "...... here"
Simon smiled knowingly, "This is where I'm going to surprise you." ”
The owner of this coffee shop is John, and he likes culture, especially the alley culture of Donghai. He has been in China for many years, married a Chinese woman, and opened this rococo-style café in the alley, handed it over to his wife to take care of, and he often came to help.
He is a multinational executive, enjoying a high annual salary and dividends, and the original meaning of running a coffee shop is not only because he loves the alley culture, but also to let his wife spend time. But his wife regarded the coffee shop as her own business and was very interested.
Therefore, in the early days of the store, due to the remote location, the business was very bad, and his wife was sad every day.
He looked distressed, so he thought of a way to improve his business - to show movies.
With the advantage of his identity, he often brings back some DVDs from abroad, all of which are movies that have a good reputation at the foreign box office, but have not been released in China. Every afternoon and evening, these movies are shown in the café and shared with guests.
Rococo decoration style, authentic foreign coffee, excellent English movies, comfortable leisure environment...... After a few years, this small shop was built into a leisure place for the petty bourgeoisie.
As for whether this practice is infringing and illegal...... The DVD footage he bought was not used for commercial purposes, at least not in Huaxia.
After listening to Simon's introduction, Chen Qiaoen no longer had the curiosity he had before: "The surprise you said was to take me here to watch an English movie?" ”
"yes, you'll find out later."
Simon thinks his plan is perfect.
Eat at noon and watch a movie in the afternoon; After watching a movie, having dinner, and then watching an opera; After watching the opera, you can go to the bar and nightclub, where there are also programs he has prepared for Chen Qiaoyan, ensuring that Chen Qiaoyan has an unforgettable day.
And this movie in the afternoon is one of his "killer features".
As he spoke, John clapped his hands and said in English, "Today we are playing a thriller and suspense movie. I saw the film in the United States last month, and it seems to me that the whole story is bug-free, the shots are never wasted, and the logical reasoning is completely reasonable......
…… It's a pity that the film was only released in the United States at the end of September, and no audio or video products have been released yet. In order to be able to bring this film back to share with you, I took a small dishonorable measure......"
"Don't worry, John, we won't go to the United States to denounce you!"
"Hahaha, what kind of movie, my friends and I love suspense movies."
One of the guests, who knew John and his wife well, joked, in English.
John stretched out his hands: "In this case, I am relieved, this is a film shot in your country, I don't know why it can't be released in your country, I regret it......"
John was still nagging, his wife was ready to play the movie, and more than half of the guests in the room had already understood.
"Fatal ID"!
Chen Qiaoen covered his lips in surprise.
She also thought about waiting for the film to be released in Hong Kong and Taiwan and inviting friends to watch it in a private room, but she didn't expect to see it in advance in this situation.
Simon was secretly smug and lowered his voice: "Joe, this film has received a good response in the United States. However, when it was first released, it was not favored, and there were very few theaters that were released, and later it relied on publicity to cooperate with the word-of-mouth effect......"
Thanks to some domestic media, many people in China know about the changes that have taken place after the release of "Fatal ID". But very few people know the specific details of this Chinese movie to turn over the salted fish.
Simon knew that he had specifically learned about the inside story of the open recruitment of water armies on the professional website where Meng Ren Film and Television gathered in the United States. He even contacted a number of sailors who had made positive comments by posting tasks, and got direct and detailed feedback from them.
In a way, he has a more detailed grasp than Mai Xiaoyu, the "initiator".
“…… According to my preliminary estimates, the cost of hiring film critics and recruiting trolls will not exceed $500,000. Of the 100 American trolls I know who have seen the movie and posted positive reviews, 73 genuinely liked the movie, 54 recommended it to friends, and 17 friends went to Chinatown theaters to watch the movie. Later, the movie was fully released, and twenty-eight friends walked into the theater because of their recommendation......"
The purpose of saying so much is nothing more than the words "do what he likes".
Chen Qiaoen is the daughter of the Chen family, and Hailian Cinema Line, which is controlled by the Chen family, operates a huge cinema chain in China and has its own distribution department. Hailian Cinemas has outstanding domestic distribution capabilities, but foreign distribution is their shortcoming, and it is also the shortcoming of almost all Chinese distribution companies.
The success of "Fatal ID" in the United States provides a ready-made case for all distribution companies. How to replicate its success, operate more overseas distribution of domestic films, and make money overseas to earn distribution fees and box office is a common issue faced by domestic distribution companies.
It can be said that there are many cinema chains in fierce competition in China, and if any one can take the lead in overseas distribution capabilities, it is expected to sit firmly on the leading throne of domestic cinema chains.
He doesn't care if Simon's homework can actually help Hailian Cinemas, he just wants Chen Qiaoen to feel his sincerity and sincerity, and that the two sides have more common topics.
But Chen Qiaoen didn't seem to have any reaction, his mind was on the movie, he analyzed a lot of insightful things, and he didn't get a few responses.
Simon thought about it and changed the subject: "This movie is the best domestic thriller and suspense film I have seen, with multiple personalities as the theme, and it is ......the only one in China."
"Multiple personalities?"
Chen Qiaoen responded, and Simon struck while the iron was hot: "Yes, you didn't expect it." I heard that it was the screenwriter Ah Zheng who wrote the script in memory of a friend of his......"
"Ah Zheng?"
"Well, it's the screenwriter who can dance, a very interesting person, who seems to have posted on Weibo about it. I remember that his friend was just like you, and his surname was Chen ......."
Click!
Chen Qiaoen seemed to have something shattered in his heart, and his mind was a mess.
She couldn't care about watching the movie anymore, and she couldn't hear Simon's voice, so she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and logged in to Ah Zheng's Weibo, and sure enough, she saw that Ah Zheng's Weibo, which had not been updated for 10,000 years, had a long Weibo about the creative process of "Fatal ID".
In the article, Ah Zheng clearly wrote that the script was created for a friend surnamed Chen, and the whole article was full of thanks, and the last sentence lit up. As a result, most of the comments in the later comments are like this, except for various advertisements and script appeals.
"Could it be that you are out of love?"
"How do you feel that Brother Zheng is out of love?"
"Do you still need to ask, it must be out of love!"
"I'm in the United States to watch for this film, and the broken love has something to do with multiple personalities? Unclear. ”
"Could it be that Brother Zheng has multiple personalities, the girl surnamed Chen is a nurse and has been taking care of him, and then the two have been in love for a long time, and then the girl's family dislikes Brother Zheng is sick and strongly opposed, and the girl has to leave him?"
"It's a bloody plot, it's a pity that the upstairs doesn't go to be a screenwriter."
"No matter what, if Brother Zheng can write such a good script every time he falls out of love, I wish him to continue to fall out of love."
"Wishing +1 for a broken love."
"May the lovelorn +2."
……
"May the lovelorn +10086."
The last sentence of the long Weibo:
“…… Thank you for your dedication to create this script to commemorate my loss, and I wish you happiness and happiness forever, thank you. ”
Looking at this sentence, Chen Qiaoen had a sour nose, grabbed the LV bag and turned around and left, leaving Simon with a confused face.
Half an hour later, Chen Qiaoen took a taxi to the door of the third uncle Chen Xiangxi's house, and rang the doorbell quickly and vigorously.
Did he know about that night...... (To be continued.) )
