Chapter 169: Berlin Premiere (2-in-1)
When He Bangwei received the invitation to premiere of the movie "A Farewell", Joss was next to him.
The premiere of the film was in Berlin, Germany, and seeing that the trip was nearing its end, he wanted to refuse, but his girlfriend immediately urged him to agree after hearing it.
Joss had never attended the premiere of a movie, and he was very curious.
I agreed, and learned that the premiere would be at 7 p.m. on August 20 at the Reichstag Cinema in Berlin, and Howard Shaw would send the invitation to the place where Ho Bangwei said.
Ten days before the film's premiere, Ho and Joss traveled to several European cities and returned to Paris.
In three days, Qiao's mother will be enrolled in modern literature, and she will become an honorable master's student.
Joss was a little overjoyed to come back for this reason, and she felt that her mother was quite capable of tossing.
Before entering the school, He Bangwei and Qiao Si invited Qiao's mother to dinner, which was regarded as a celebration of her enrollment.
During the banquet, Qiao's mother was in a good mood, she teased her "honest" and "reliable" daughter boyfriend, you invite me to dinner today, and I will invite you back when you enter school in a few days.
In September, Ho's exchange student at the Swiss Business School will begin.
After seeing a lot with the elders, He Bangwei was a little relieved, but he still listened more and talked less about this dinner.
Two days later, he received an invitation to the premiere of the film and began to prepare for it.
Normally, Ho Bangwei would not be invited to the premiere, but Hollywood soundtrack musician Howard Shaw used his music twice to make the soundtrack, so he was a little curious and wanted to meet this man from the ancient oriental country.
Joss didn't expect that Yang Yang would really get an invitation to the premiere of a foreign movie, so she was still a little surprised when she saw the elaborate production of the card letter.
"Yangyang, I didn't expect you to be quite valued." Joss flipped through the invitations over and over again.
He Bangwei was also quite surprised. He didn't feel any about the movie or anything, and if it wasn't for Joss's request, he would have directly refused on the phone.
However, it's not bad to go and see it now, and get to know that Howard Shaw, maybe the promotion of otherworldly culture will fall on him in the future.
Place the backpack next to Joss's couch. He Bangwei's phone rang.
"Hey, Weizi, I went to Shanxi and found someone to meet Du Yuan, but the effect was not very good. But after returning to Luzhou, there was no resistance to things on the company's side. Wang Wei's voice sounded a little surprised.
"What does it mean that there is no resistance?"
"It's just that the official obstacle disappears, and those taxes don't come to spot checks, I don't know what the reason is. Du Yuan was a little arrogant when he saw it, and he didn't agree. Wang Wei was puzzled. However, it's okay to be fine.
He Bangwei was also a little happy when he heard the news, although he didn't ask about the company's affairs, he always thought that these friends could do a good job.
"Okay, tell me if you have any problems." He Bangwei said.
Hanging up the phone, looking at Qiao Si, who was still studying the invitation, his heart suddenly moved. Jojo's dad seems to be an official.
"Qiaoqiao, do you know someone named Du Yuan?" He wanted to ask his girlfriend about it.
Keep your head up. Qiao Si's expression was a little puzzled: "Du Yuan? I don't know, what's wrong? ”
I don't know, forget it, He Bangwei shook his head: "It's nothing, some things about the company." Wait until the 20th, let's go to the movies together. ”
Compared with the fist, Joss didn't ask any further. Instead, he turned his attention to the premiere: "Yes, this is a world premiere, and we are going to be the first people in the world to see the finished film." ”
After a while, she suddenly reacted: "This is the first time you invited me to watch a movie, huh?" ”
Looking at the girl for some reason, He Bangwei: "Huh? ”
"For the first time, I was invited to watch a movie. You know what? Joss blinked her big eyes.
"Uh-huh."
"You should show it." Joss prompted.
He Bangwei looked puzzled, and then suddenly leaned over and imprinted a bite on her face.
"You ......" Joss found himself slowly starting to gain the upper hand, and the sheep seemed to be becoming more and more shameless...... The man is faceless and close to invincible.
He Bangwei still seemed puzzled, but there was a little bit of confusion in his eyes.
Joss glanced at him, "Let's go, pick out clothes for you." The premiere has to be brightly dressed. ”
As soon as he heard that he was going out to buy clothes, He Bangwei's expression suddenly fell, his physical strength could keep up, but he changed clothes over and over again, tried on clothes, and went in and out of various clothing stores, which was really not a good experience.
Staring at the sheep with an undeniable gaze, Joss grabbed his arm and walked out.
"It's the movie premiere, you have to pay attention to the image. You know the image?! While pulling the sheep out of the house, Joss taught.
Sheep and sheep are very good, but sometimes they are too casual about anything, dressing, playing are like this, well, the food is more serious.
……
In Shanxi, Du Yuan unexpectedly met Wang Wei and Yan Liqiang from Luzhou under the introduction of a friend two days ago.
He was a little surprised, he had been asked by the little brother to say hello to his friends in Huizhou, and wanted to give the small company some "care." ”
Unexpectedly, the people of this company could actually find themselves, Du Yuan didn't know how this company offended Brother Ling, but it was just a trivial matter when he thought about it.
Thinking so, Du Yuan still called Yanjing's little brother Lingshan.
"Brother Ling, what are you busy with?" Du Yuan's arrogance in front of outsiders was not visible at all on the phone.
"Xiaoyuan, I've been building a club recently, ********************." Ling Shan's tone was steady, "I was trained by my father a while ago, and there are some things I really shouldn't be involved in, so now I should do what I can at Yan University." ”
Du Yuan smiled: "The name of the club sounds pretty good." By the way, Brother Ling, what's going on with the Luzhou company you mentioned last time? A friend of mine came forward to intercede. ”
Ling Shan was stunned for a moment: "Luzhou, the company, oh, it's not a big deal." Someone said intercession, right? Well, that's beforehand. Recently, he has been busy again, and the matter of marrying Qiao's family has been mentioned to his father, and he has asked himself to leave it alone.
After continuing to talk about other things, Du Yuan hung up the phone and sent a text message to Huo Yu in Huizhou, saying that he didn't need to stare at that company anymore.
Originally, he didn't have any conflict with that side. Since the little brother is not pursued, he is also happy to be idle.
At this point, Wang Wei and the others suffered some unexplained difficulties in a daze, and suddenly found that the company could run smoothly.
Ling Shan, who was far away in Yanjing, temporarily devoted all his energy to forming a club, and he pointed out that he could use this name to recruit and make friends with elites from all walks of life.
It's just that he didn't know that his proposal to marry the Qiao family on a whim was being seriously considered by his father, maybe this matter could really be tried to be promoted.
……
On August 20, in Berlin, Germany, He Bangwei and Joss had just flown here in the morning.
Each country and region has its own unique culture. He Bangwei thinks this can be seen in the different colors of each city - Berlin's color tone is biased towards black and gray.
Black-grey and blue-black granite abounds in Berlin, and the streets are often dressed in plain colors, with the warmth and intensity of colour like those seen in Paris and Spain.
Along the way, Joss asks Ho Bangwei what kind of movie his music is used for.
This question is stumped by Yang Yang, he just provided a piece of music about religion, how can he study the plot and content of the movie in detail.
Joss was looking for answers to no avail, and instead looked forward to the movie even more – and it was refreshing to look for answers from the world premieres.
The two stayed at the Radisson Hotel Alexanderplatz Berlin, which is easily accessible. And I chose a suite.
The loss is that He Bangwei is relatively able to make money, otherwise the accommodation fee for the two is a big expense.
There is still an afternoon left until the evening premiere. He Bangwei proposed to try the local food, which drew two rolls of eyes and a speechless expression on Joth's face.
After thinking about it, Qiao Si suddenly made a suggestion: "Isn't your music quite profitable?" The premiere is tonight, and people must have come early, or you can ask someone from Hollywood out to meet you, and you're kind of maintaining customer relationships. ”
That's why I think the term customer relationship is very professional. He Bangwei, who majored in industrial and business management, thought so, and immediately felt that the proposal was not bad, so he called Howard Shaw on the phone.
The Hollywood soundtrack was already in Berlin, and when he heard Ho's invitation, he happily agreed -- he was very curious about Ho Bangwei.
What is this Oriental man really like? His music is already top-notch.
When Howard Shaw first saw Ho Bangwei at the restaurant where he was meeting, his curiosity became even greater. At the same time, I was puzzled: how could this young man in front of him make such a tune?
He Bangwei sat quietly in the dining room, but Qiao Si beside him could read the information in his heart from his unwavering expression, this sheep was probably looking forward to the next meal!
The girl was suspicious at the moment, and the most fundamental purpose of the foreigner in front of her was to come here to taste the food without blinking.
Howard Shaw was not young, with silver hair and a cane in his hand, but he came alone.
"He Bangwei." Typical foreigners pronounce the pronunciation of oriental names, "You are so young." ”
He Bangwei nodded in acknowledgement, thinking about the onion bacon patty he had just ordered.
"I'm amazed by your talent." As soon as Howard Shaw sat down, he was unabashedly amazed by Ho Bangwei's compositions – "Above the Gods" and "Spirits."
For the former, he once expressed his gratitude to He Bangwei at the Oscars; The latter one, he used in the new movie "A Farewell".
In the face of Howard Shaw's praise, Ho Bangwei had no expression on his face, neither the self-satisfaction of being recognized, nor the modesty that Orientals often have.
Howard Shaw threw away the surprise when he first met, he knew that some people's talent is not related to age, but how the brain circuit of the man in front of him made those two pieces of music, the emotions and impacts contained in them are really strong, and the more expert people are, the more they can feel the charm.
Yang Yang didn't talk much, and Joss naturally wanted to chat in order not to be cold.
As we chatted, the conversation turned to the theme of tonight's movie.
Howard Shaw was the film's soundtrack, and he was involved in the post-production of the film, so he knew the whole thing about the film.
Faced with the inquiry of the girl opposite, he briefly recounted the synopsis and theme of the film.
The film is intended to show the estrangement and conflict between the relatively wealthy, Westernized middle class and the less educated, still strictly religious working class in contemporary Iranian society.
The film stars two Iranians, the dialogue is Persian, and the premiere was chosen in Berlin.
Joss listened interestingly, as a literary young woman, she was still able to develop an interest in movies with this theme.
The sheep next to him is different, even if Howard Shaw praises the movie, he doesn't see any reaction.
"He Bangwei, are you interested in coming to Hollywood?" Howard Shaw stared at the Oriental man who clearly had a good appetite.
Hollywood development? He Bangwei took a bite of minced meat sausage, and felt that the girl next to him was suddenly a little nervous, and he refused without hesitation: "I'm not interested." ”
Howard Shaw felt his firmness, smiled and shook his head: "Actually, it's a very interesting thing to come to Hollywood, depending on your conditions, maybe you can develop in the direction of acting in the future and become a big star." He looked at Ho's straight back as he sat in his seat, imagining that this man should be able to play a cool Oriental role.
"No, not interested. Stars, not interested. He Bangwei refused again without hesitation.
"Okay, okay, people are old, and when they see talented young people, they can't help but want to solicit and solicit." Howard Shaw laughed to himself.
Joss breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that according to the character of Yang Yang, she would not agree to go to Hollywood, but she still couldn't help but be a little nervous, in case he agreed to come down, it would be Hollywood!
When she was relaxed, she was interested in asking the senior Hollywood practitioner in front of her about what he had seen and heard in Hollywood over the years.
Howard Shaw was a talkative old man, and instead of being angry when he saw Hunter's invitation rejected, he laughed and laughed at Joss's question.
There are too many stories in Hollywood, and there are too many things he has experienced himself, so he can pick a few things and say them so that the girl in front of him will not blink.
Most of this meal was wiped out by He Bangwei, and there was basically no need to worry about food being wasted at the dinner with him.
The waiter removed the plates, cleaned up again, and served three cups of coffee to the three of them.
The whole afternoon was spent in the half-distracted stories of Ho Bangwei, Joss concentrated, and Howard Shaw full of funny stories.
At the end of the day, when the time for the premiere was approaching, Howard Shaw finished telling the last story and smiled at the two people in front of him: "These stories are true. ”
"Well, a lot of them are pseudonyms. If there is any similarity, it is purely coincidental and I am not responsible. (To be continued.) )
PS: I suddenly remembered that I had finished reading the book, and the first impression in my mind was these books, "The Guest", "Celebrating More Than Years", "Rongfei's Dream Life", "The First Chaos in History", "Full-time Master".
Thank you for the crazy tip.
