Female reporters were originally just trying to make things difficult for Xu Jing and other mainlanders, but they invisibly pushed many media reporters who had no position to Xu Jing and others. But in any case, the embarrassment and embarrassment of the female reporter are just a small episode of the celebration banquet.

After the interview, Lin Jianguo distributed the prepared promotional materials to the reporters, and then started the dinner in harmony. When it comes to dealing with people, Lin Jianguo is naturally the most experienced in the company, not only pushing glasses and changing lamps with the guests during the banquet, but also pulling Xu Jing and reporters from time to time to talk about some interesting things.

After the banquet, Lin Jianguo not only prepared exquisite small gifts for every guest and reporter, but also stuffed a small red envelope into the reporter's gift bag, so that the reporters left happily in the red light.

In Xiangjiang, people have the habit of drinking morning tea, usually between 6 and 9 a.m., ordering a few dumplings, bread and hot porridge in the tea restaurant, while eating dim sum, holding a newspaper in one hand and reading various news. The day after the celebration banquet, almost all the entertainment front pages of the major newspapers were occupied by the news of the "Killer" celebration banquet.

[The box office of "Hitman" broke 32 million in 25 days!]

["Hitman" is about to set a new box office record!]

[The genius director is only eighteen years old!]

[Li Lianjie's second?

"Killer" has long been well-known to the citizens of Xiangjiang during this period of time, and I thought that this wave of craze was about to dissipate, but I didn't want to be attracted by the news thrown by Jiuzhou Company, especially the headline of the news, which was even more eye-catching.

When people saw the comparison of the two sets of photos of the middle-aged version of Xu Jing and the youth version of Xu Jing in the newspaper, they couldn't believe that the old and strong middle-aged man and the thin and tender young man next to him were the same person, is there anything more amazing than this?

At this time, Xiangjiang was popular in idol culture, and the stars were all young and handsome, and people could see Zhou Yunfa and Liu Dehua in several or more than a dozen movies in a year, but almost all of them were the same, handsome and handsome. At this time, a person suddenly jumped out, and he didn't need to put a handsome and handsome face, but he went to pretend to be old and stupid, which is beyond people's cognition.

Because of Xu Jing's identity as a mainlander, he was inevitably compared with Li Lianjie, who was also from the mainland. In 82, 19-year-old Li Lianjie became popular all over Asia with a "Shaolin Temple", and in 86, 23-year-old Li Lianjie directed and acted in "Chinese Hero".

Compared with Xu Jing, although his influence is currently limited to Xiangjiang, no one will doubt that "Killer" will pounce in other regions. Especially Xu Jing was only eighteen years old at this time, compared to Li Lianjie, the degree of magic is no worse than that.

The news about "Killer" and Xu Jing is not only limited to newspapers, but also reported on various TV stations in Hong Kong, and there are also behind-the-scenes footage of "Killer" provided by Xu Jing, allowing people to understand the film and the story behind it more closely.

With the continuous fermentation of the news, "Killer" has set off a wave of heated discussions among the public, and many people who have not seen it want to see what is magical about this mainland kid. And those who have seen it, when they saw the youth version of Xu Jing, they couldn't help but be shocked, and many people were surprised to see the two Xu Jing, and then chose to walk into the theater again.

"Hitman" once again ushered in a wave of movie-watching craze.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with Xu Jing for the time being, because at this time, Xu Jing, Zhou Xiaoxun and others had already flown to Canada.

Toronto, located on the northwest shore of Lake Ontario, Canada, is the second largest city in North America after New York, and the most diverse city in the world, bringing together immigrants of more than 100 nationalities, but it is a city with a very low crime rate, pleasant environment and high living standards, and is one of the most livable cities in the world.

"Big barley, is the scenery there really as beautiful as you said?" In the hotel, Zhou Xiaoxun was lying on the windowsill, turned his head to look at Xu Jing, who was standing by the windowsill with a pocket in one hand and coffee in the other, and asked.

"Hmm. Xu Jing took a sip, looked at the hazy drizzle in the distance, and answered softly.

Thinking that when I first came to this time and space, it was also a rainy day, and I was also in the rain looking at the hazy city in the distance, and it was more than a year in the blink of an eye, and I was no longer the abandoned child who had been lonely and miserable for half a life, I had friends, family, and did what I liked to do, and some thoughts flowed.

"Big barley, when the rain stops, let's go to Maple Avenue to play, okay?" Zhou Xiaoxun's clear eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

The autumn in Toronto was originally very cool and comfortable, but when Xu Jing and others came, it was drizzling, and listening to Xu Jing's description of the Maple Avenue on the plane disappointed Zhou Xiaoxun, who originally wanted to see the gorgeous colors of the Maple Avenue.

"Hmm. Xu Jing responded, and after a while, he suddenly turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaoxun, and before she could react from the beautiful reverie, he said, "Have you reviewed your homework?"

At first, Xu Jing didn't want to take Zhou Xiaoxun to Toronto, after all, Zhou Xiaoxun had just started school a few days ago, and with the results that couldn't be achieved last semester, Xu Jing hoped that she could study in school with peace of mind, but she couldn't stand Zhou Xiaoxun's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so she agreed, after all, the last time she flew to Los Angeles, she was left in Xiangjiang.

However, although he agreed to bring her along, he also made an agreement with her to promise not to fall behind in his homework, Zhou Xiaoxun wanted to follow, and where could he take care of any conditions, just agree.

“。。。。 One gets one, two two gets two, three three gets three... Ah~~It's so difficult~~~~" Faced with Xu Jing's suddenly changed painting style, Zhou Xiaoxun was stunned for a while, then got down from the windowsill with a pout, grabbed his hair with both hands irritably, and made a mess of the originally soft short hair, while complaining angrily, he reluctantly walked to his room.

Zhou Xiaoxun only hated herself for being so stupid in the first place, she had to sign such a self-inflicted treaty, and she was reluctant to be so strict with Aunt Sun in Xiangjiang, and it was not easy to be lazy?

Leaning on the windowsill, looking at Zhou Xiaoxun's complaining back, he took a sip of coffee, smiled and shook his head.

Why did Xu Jing have to force Zhou Xiaoxun to study hard?

Naturally, not for that one diploma. In fact, whether it is now or in the future, that diploma will not be of much use to Zhou Xiaoxun, after all, she has chosen the path of acting and is now a big star. Just like himself, even a Harvard degree, which is the highest honor, is just another halo.

The reason why Zhou Xiaoxun was thrown into school and continued to 'struggle' was so that she could have a normal person's growth experience, instead of being locked around herself like a 'canary'. Although being by her side can not let her suffer a trace of grievances, but it also invisibly stifles her future, after all, it is impossible for her to experience the ups and downs of the North Drift era after changing her trajectory, and if she is tied to her anytime and anywhere, it will not be life.

Can someone who hasn't lived a life interpret someone else's life well?

Naturally, it can't. If he didn't have these experiences, not to mention whether Zhou Xiaoxun would become another 'hurt Zhongyong', as far as Xu Jing's selfishness is concerned, he doesn't want Zhou Xiaoxun to leave many regrets like himself in his previous life.

"Xiao Jing, I have already contacted the organizers, our film is scheduled at the Elgin Theater, there are three general screenings and one media screening, respectively on the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th. Xu Jing, who was immersed in the rainy city scene, was interrupted by Lin Jianguo.

Of course, the influence of the Toronto International Film Festival at this time is far from being as high as it was decades later, and it is not called the 'outpost' of the Academy Awards, and it is not called the 'Toronto International Film Festival' at this time, but 'the film festival within the film festival'.

In fact, as early as when "Hitman" had just finished editing, Xu Jing stepped on the tail of the Toronto Film Festival registration period and sent the sample, and it was not until a month later that he received the news from the organizer that he was selected for the screening.

Xu Jing's decision to take "Hitman" to the film festival is not because he wants to win any awards, in fact, it is unlikely that a non-traditional black humor film with strong commercial attributes like "Hitman" will win awards such as the three major international film festivals in Europe. Xu Jing participated in the Toronto Film Festival for only one purpose, that is, to open up the Western market.

Although Xiangjiang is known as the Hollywood of the East, in fact, Xiangjiang films have never opened the Western market on a large scale, and only the early Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have entered the West with Li Xiaolong and Cheng Long's kung fu films in the past 20 years.

Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have always been like thieves against other film companies, and in the early days, these two sworn enemies even launched a 'double-line screening' countermeasure to suppress Xinyicheng, and naturally they would not help Jiuzhou Company distribute "Killer" in North America at this time.

Unlike the three major European film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice, the Toronto International Film Festival is not dominated by awards, but is known for the large number of film screenings, it mainly serves the market, there is no jury, and there is no main competition unit and non-competition unit, all feature films can participate in the competition for the highest award - the 'People's Choice Award'. The People's Choice Award is voted for entirely by film critics, journalists, and general fans.

After the Coen brothers completed their debut film "Blood Labyrinth" in 1985, they have been worried about finding a publisher. But when it premiered in Toronto, audiences reacted overwhelmingly to the black comedy, with mainstream media outlets such as The New York Times reporting that "laughter was pouring out in theaters," and the studio soon approached the Coen brothers. In the original time and space, Wu Yusen's "Bloody Heroes" also successfully entered Hollywood through the major film festival trading markets.

The Toronto Film Festival has always been known as the 'immigration port' for foreign language films to enter North America, and the recognition of foreign films here is like stamping a stamp, and since then it has a "United States identity", and no one treats you as an outsider. Such a market-oriented film festival is undoubtedly the best choice for Jiuzhou Company to open up the Western market.
