First Arrival Territory: 303.Pre-Conference Preparation (2/5)

Next chapter

The materials needed for the meeting were prepared by Bowen and Liangzai, and they were taken aback when they received the subject: "Three Towns Alliance? What is this, head? ”

"You don't have to worry about it, I've organized all the information in the document, and you can organize the language to write it." Lao Wang smiled mysteriously, this is the idea he was born a few days ago.

In addition to the materials prepared by his subordinates, there are also some that Lao Wang has to prepare himself.

For example, if he wants to integrate into the leadership circle of the four towns, he must first get to know these people, and Hani found him photos of these people, introducing their identities, hobbies and personalities.

Of the three towns, he had the best relationship with Wanderer Town, he participated in voluntary disaster relief, and together with Zhuang Ding, he saved many people, and their legend still circulates in Wanderer Town today.

This Maori settlement is the largest town in the vicinity, and some Maori people have heard about the fact that people have left and come to rebuild the town after the earthquake, and the townspeople can be compensated and funded.

The town of Wanderers now has a population of over 2,000 people, and the mayor's name is Putai Mongla, which means 'glorious hero' in Māori, and the sheriff's name is Lunma, which means 'ruin'.

Lao Wang knew these two people, but he didn't have a deep friendship, and he didn't know that the meaning of the two had a unique meaning.

Aturu said proudly: "Our Maori names have unique meanings, and this is not to be messed with. ”

"And what does your name mean?"

The corners of the Maori man's mouth twitched, and he muttered in a low voice, "Hard as a rock." ”

"What?"

"Aturu means hard as a rock!" Hani further explained.

The old king was stunned: "Atulu, who gave you this name?" It's a deliberate attempt to sarcastically mock you, right?! ”

The Maori man hid his face and galloped, feeling embarrassed every time he mentioned the meaning of his name.

In the remaining two towns, Lao Wang was familiar with the leadership team of Tahiti Town, when their town mayor and sheriff came to the castle to make trouble with him, he scolded him and cut the tires of their cars with a knife.

The mayor of Tahiti Town is named Robert Yard, a racist with a white supremacy mentality, and the town's sheriff is named Kyle Anthony, who is familiar with the two, and he says that Anthony has some connections with the local gang, but is not a bad guy.

Louise Town is the largest of the four towns, they have a mayor, two deputy mayors, a sheriff and a deputy sheriff, the mayor is named Camilla Kraken, the two deputy mayors are named Brian Tock and Aaron Thompson, and the sheriff is named Upton Roosevelt, all white.

Lao Wang has an excellent memory, and he memorized the information of these characters after reading it.

Then Harney brought him some more tapes and said, "This is the last month's footage of Shortland-Street, you better take a closer look, it will be good to help you get into their conversation." ”

"Is this necessary? We're not going to a meeting to discuss TV dramas, are we? Lao Wang asked.

"Shortland-Street" translates to "Shortland Street" and is the most famous TV series in New Zealand.

New Zealand is a small country, and high-investment industries such as film and television are not well developed here. Except for Peter Jackson, the great director who directed the "Lord of the Rings" series, it seems that New Zealand has no more "mastery" products or characters in film and television.

However, there is a strange work in New Zealand TV shows, that is, "Shortland Street", the strange thing about this TV series is that it is very long, how long? There are almost 6,000 episodes now, and the most amazing thing is that it's still going on, and there is no intention of stopping at all!

This TV series was first broadcast on May 25, 1992, and it has been on the air for more than 20 years.

When Lao Wang first came to New Zealand to learn English, he learned it by watching this TV series, it is a local drama in New Zealand, the screenwriters and actors are basically all New Zealanders, it is a soap opera that talks about local life, there is no plot to speak of, and every episode is about trivial things.

However, the TV series "Shortland Street" has high ratings, otherwise it would not have been filmed for so many seasons.

The reason for this is that New Zealand is so sparsely populated that people are so bored at night that such a boring TV show will be used as a talking point by even more boring New Zealanders at work the next day.

Yes, the main reason why everyone watches this TV series is that there is a topic to talk about when chatting.

When Lao Wang first learned this, he was really sad for the boring life of New Zealanders. The cat abuse case and the police assault case, as well as the current Birthflower Road, have become the latest conversations among New Zealanders, so it can be seen that they really don't have much to talk about.

This TV series also has the benefit of providing a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of New Zealand society in recent years, and for newcomers who want to get a quick overview of the country, they can watch "Shortland Street".

Lao Wang once wanted to watch it with this purpose, but when he watched the 6,000-episode TV series, he was directly scared to pee, and after learning English, he never watched it again.

Seeing these thick tapes, Lao Wang shook his head again, and he asked tentatively, "Do you really have to watch it?" ”

Haney shrugged and said, "Otherwise, when they discuss this TV series, you can only sit there and watch it, and I believe it will be embarrassing at that time." ”

"But aren't we going to a meeting to discuss development?"

"Please, mayor, you are just a few mayors, not some national leaders, how long can the development of the town be discussed? It's more about everyone chatting and communicating their feelings together, and when chatting, "Shortland Street" is the main topic. ”

Lao Wang spread his hands and said, "Okay, I think, I really don't understand a street, how can you shoot for more than 20 years?" ”

When he wanted to watch this TV series before, he checked that Shortland Street is a real street, located in Auckland CBD, where finance, insurance companies and banks are concentrated, with a length of less than 1 kilometer, and it has been filmed for more than 20 years.

Hani smiled: "You better take a look, if you say this during the chat, it will be a joke." Actually, the plot of the TV series has nothing to do with the street you mentioned, it's just that it was so virtual to the screenwriter at the time. ”

Lao Wang stuffed the videotape into the player, and in the next few days, he would watch TV dramas, and every day Anderson would bring him lemonade, drink soda and watch TV, and the small life was also very pleasant.

Time flowed, and the first Monday of October arrived, and the weather became warmer.

In the morning, Wang dressed up in a suit and leather shoes, and took his elite soldiers to the Cedar Villa Hotel, a five-star resort hotel on the outskirts of Aocheng. (To be continued.) )
