"The way you just behaved was unbelievable."

Perhaps, the girl's antipathy to 'Ceressa' was not wrong, at this moment, in the nanny car driving on the airport highway, the 'domineering agent' was reprimanding the poor 'puppet' Jenny with a dissatisfied face, "It's like you haven't taken a safety protection class at all, what is the first lesson about?" Woody, tell me, what's the last thing you shouldn't choose when you're faced with a crowded fan base? ”

"Continue to stimulate their emotions." Woody shrugged his shoulders and gave Jenny an apologetic look, his phone seemed to be connected, so he left the battlefield as a matter of course, and turned back to pay attention to the luggage of the entire team: it was customary for the team to wait until the luggage came out before leaving together, because they were all first class or business class, but this time, the movement at the Chinese airport was too big, and at Cesare's urging, they had to leave a car and a bodyguard to guard the luggage, and the group fled before the fans broke through the barrier.

"Do you hear that?" Cesare turned to Jenny and said, "The last thing you should do is wave and smile at them, ten fans, yes, you can interact with each other, fifty fans?" Run, run to a safe distance and then show your closeness to the people - did you become popular yesterday? Jefferson, I can't imagine that we're having this kind of conversation right now—and you're not—in—listening—"

"I know, Chesa," said Jenny nonchalantly, who would not normally treat Cesare in such an attitude, but she was in a good mood now, and it wasn't really an important topic, "but you can't help but admit that we were at a safe distance, didn't you?" ”

Before Cesare could react, she quickly shifted the subject, her eyes wide open, and she began to talk nonsense, "Besides, this is probably the only time I've interacted with my fans, and I don't have that part of the rest of the trip - and, well, seeing so many people, I really thought for a moment that we were actually at the premiere." ”

Among the stars of similar status to her, Jenny is one of the more fan-service spirits, as long as the spirit and time permit, whether it is an autograph or a group photo request, she will try her best to meet it, but according to her itinerary, in addition to those lucky chance fans, fans can most contact her occasion, that is, the premiere. In fact, in the United States, on occasions where fans are so concentrated, there is only a premiere, usually even if there are fans picking up the plane, it is usually more than ten or twenty people, and more often, Jenny can only see the paparazzi, or even the premiere, maybe because of the large relationship between the stalls, the momentum is not as shocking as today's pick-up crowd.

"Indeed," Woody interjected, clearly with the intention of easing the atmosphere, but with the same sentiment as Jenny, "not even the premiere of 'Iron Man' gave me such an uncontrollable feeling, and for a moment I thought we wouldn't be able to leave the airport smoothly - there were obviously not enough police officers at the Beijing airport." ”

"From that point of view, your popularity in China is really good." Cesare also seemed to have given up on continuing to reprimand Jeanne, and only gave her a 'this is not over' look, and he mused, "But strangely, we haven't received similar feedback before......"

"This is China," Jenny curled the corners of her mouth, "believe me, this is definitely not the largest pick-up crowd in China, scale effect is the key word in this country-"

She compares the eight-lane highway that is wider than the speeding car and the construction site in the distance, "The country is changing so fast, if you still think that it is the kind of TV drama that can watch the movie is the powerful, then it is clear that this false impression must be corrected." ”

Cesare and Woody both looked out the window, more or less thoughtful, and the car fell silent.

Taking advantage of this moment, Jenny also happily immersed herself in her thoughts - although she did not have an obvious feeling before, but until the moment she returned to China, the intimacy that came to her face reminded her that in the past few years, she has always had a feeling of wandering in her heart: although she is now blonde and blue-eyed, from thought to behavior, she lives a very orthodox Western life, and there are not many opportunities to return to China in the future, let alone come to China to live, but this feeling of blood connection, It still made her realize her emotional connection with China, and she is still the white-skinned and yellow-hearted egg man, although there are thousands of people around the world who like Jennifer. Jefferson's image, but after countless fan pick-ups and premieres around the world, she found that it was still dark hair, yellow skin, and Chinese-speaking faces shouting 'Jennifer, We love you', the picture made her feel the most cordial, really at that moment, she has always been able to deal with this kind of occasion very calmly, and even she has been used to being shown love, suddenly it was like someone lit a fire in her veins, and she was excited, she really wanted to interact with Chinese fans more, and even say a few Chinese words to them......

Except for the time when she first crossed over, Jenny never thought about going back to China, of course, because she was very busy (and poor at first), but the bigger reason was that she didn't know what would happen when she returned home, whether she would be recalled in those familiar scenes, or even emotionally broken down - suddenly coming to a new world, this event must have had a profound impact on a person, and she didn't really think about emotional communication with the people of this world until seven years later. She was really thinking about whether to give up the idea of going back, and the motivation to go home was definitely there until then, and it was quite strong in the beginning, she could be a pragmatist and not think about these useless things, but that didn't mean going back to the familiar environment, and she could casually remove these distractions in the face of more stimulation.

will make up her mind to return to Beijing, in addition to the layout of her career is a major driving force, there is also a little change, which she can feel herself: it has been 7 years, 7 years is enough time for you to forget a person, start a new life, no matter how unforgettable the feelings, it can't compete with the time to pass, she has begun to think about staying, come back at this time, the stimulation may not be so strong......

She was right, and the scenery Jenny saw now certainly evoked her memories - of course she had run countless times on this familiar highway, from the airport to country after country, from shopping place to place - but this memory was no longer a sour and helpless longing, but more like a kind of childhood, a school life, a happy nostalgia for a life that had ended, which was one of the reasons why she was particularly excited at the airport, she did not have mixed feelings, on the contrary, it was like a revisit, When I returned to campus, I felt a heartfelt love and nostalgia for the familiar scenery.

“…… The Chinese host sent me a message," Cesare's words interrupted Jeanne's thoughts, who were frowning as he looked at the phone screen, "He's already waiting for us at the hotel — to know if we're sure we're not going to give any interviews, and if so, he'll arrange for us to go straight upstairs from the dedicated elevator, because there's already a lot of media in the lobby." ”

"I'm not going to be interviewed, let him arrange the elevator," Jenny made a categorical decision, "However, we originally booked the presidential suite, so we don't need to ask for a special request, and the hotel should also provide a special elevator—"

Having said that, she also understood: Xiao Han, who was in charge of reception, probably still wanted her to be interviewed, or he took on the task of letting her be interviewed, or he had a relationship with a reporter and wanted to help dredge up, this was testing her attitude, if Jenny didn't care so much about the interview, then he could climb up the pole.

Cesare's finger was still hanging on the phone screen, and Jenny glanced at him, "What's wrong?" ”

"I don't understand your thinking," Cesare said, "I thought you came to China to expand your influence in East Asia, but you didn't want to be interviewed by any media, and of course you told me that you wanted to gain Beijing's favor, which would be good for Big Dream's future requirements in East Asia, but now, when Beijing wants you to be interviewed and promote the success of the Olympics, and you turn them down, won't that frustrate your plans?" ”

They had a brief discussion about Jeanne's plan to come to China, and Cesare, as always, did not particularly understand or approve of it, but in the end he obeyed her arrangement. And now—he finally couldn't help but pick on him, which made Jenny find it amusing and reassuringly relieved—that if Cesare didn't pick a thorn, she would find him a little eccentric. It seemed that although he was determined to keep his dissent in his heart, Cesare's unstable mood was almost at a critical point after the stimulation of his arrival in the hall, and if he did not give some explanation, I am afraid that she would be severely recorded in his mental ledger again.

Of course, Beijing will not be very happy about this, "although it is also troublesome to explain 'why she can explain', but she still restrained her joking mentality and showed her professional attitude." "They want to maximize the influence of this trip and prove China's soft power to the people or the Western world, but of course we can't agree to that - now we can still claim that we are here for a sporting event, like a delegation to the Olympics, and once we are interviewed, we may say that our itinerary is that we are inclined to share. Give birth. Host. If we act too happy, it's a red flag, and if we act too unhappy, it will undo our efforts, not to mention that once this matter becomes a topic of conversation and the interview video is posted on YouTube, what about when we return to the United States? What do we say when people ask about their impressions of China? ”

Although she has a strong sense of belonging to China and is willing to help her motherland, Jennifer. Jefferson doesn't just belong to herself, this image is the result of the team, Jenny is the core of the team, but not the whole of the team, and as the core person, on the matter, she has to make 'Jennifer. Jefferson 'stayed as far away from the political quagmire as possible, instead of running back and forth in vain for China's image, fighting with everyone, and then being labeled as a 'political naïve', and never won the Olympic prize, and even caused more trouble for himself. Therefore, in pleasing Beijing and maintaining a political image, Jenny is destined to be careful to maintain a balance, come to Beijing to watch the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, of course, but accept the interview can not agree, if Beijing is disgusted with her, then Jenny can only accept this result, after all, at present and for a long time in the future, Hollywood will still be her foundation, as far as Jenny's own memory is concerned, at least until she travels through the previous years.

"A few short remarks," she said to Cesare, "I'll explain it to Han myself—I'm sure that with a good deal of it, it might not affect my plans." ”

Cesare has been unimpressed by her optimistic prediction that China will be the most impressive growth market in Asia and the world after 2010, and Jeanne feels that the main reason why he did not refute her was that he did not know much about China. And, after he came to Beijing, she could see that whether it was the spacious and advanced T3 terminal, or the buildings on both sides of the expressway, he was a little touched - this is obviously not the same as the closed, backward country in which the people live in fear, riding bicycles under the gray sky, and everyone wears a tunic is obviously not the same thing: although he may not be brainwashed by the TV series, he wants to have a correct understanding of China in the wrong propaganda without being to China himself, and it's not easy.

Now that his stereotype has been falsified, all the signs that are being shown in Beijing show that it is rapidly rising to become the new pole of the Asia-Pacific region and the world, and that the box office of its films will explode in the next few years, and it is self-evident that the development of the cultural market often lags behind the development of the economy by several steps, and sometimes even seems to be a little sluggish, and if China's development rate is really so fast, then perhaps the film market is already surging. It's just waiting for an explosive growth, after all, as Jenny said, scale is the key word in China, and this country has a population of 1.3 billion, and they all have basic education, so it goes without saying how huge such a market will be.

After proving that she was a Chinese expert, Jenny clearly had the upper hand, and Cesare didn't continue to ask, not wondering how she would explain to Han, but just nodded and replied to the text message. Woody, on the other hand, pointed to the horizon and excitedly said, "Ah, is that the Bird's Nest!" Are we close to the Olympic Village? ”

I don't know if it's because of the upcoming Olympics and traffic control, although there are many fans who come to pick up the airport, no one chooses to charter a car on the highway to chase them, but there are some fans waiting outside the lobby of the Four Seasons Hotel, and they cheered from afar when they saw the nanny car - however, the nanny car drove directly into the underground garage, and this is a place that fans can't reach, from this moment on, until Jenny left Beijing, Theoretically, she will never have the opportunity to get close to the fans: although she paid for the presidential suite at her own expense, did not obey the organizer's arrangement, and stayed in the executive room in the external reception standard, but as a guest invited to watch the ceremony, she must still enjoy the Beijing government. With such comprehensive protection, it is impossible for fans to have the opportunity to get close.

"I'm very sorry, Miss Jefferson," Xiao Han apologized vigorously as soon as he saw Jenny's face—unexpectedly, he didn't seem to be frustrated by Jenny's refusal to be interviewed, but instead seemed quite self-reproachful, and even very reluctant, "I really should have come to pick you up at the airport, but indeed, Mr. Zhang's side has something, and I really can't get there--you see, I should have arranged for you to go through the VIP channel, but it wasn't arranged, it was really my poor hospitality-" Otherwise, I'll arrange a few interviews for you, we probably won't be able to get on the news network - maybe we can fight for a sentence and rub a word, but other programs can report it for you, otherwise, you will come quietly, it seems that we are too inconsiderate as the host, and Mr. Zhang is very unhappy in his heart-"

"It's okay, it's really okay." Jenny didn't pay attention to the accompanying translator with an anxious face - Xiao Han already knew that she was fluent in Chinese, so she didn't leave room for her to translate at all, and she was scratching between Cesare and Jenny at this time, "This is really a private trip, I didn't plan to give an interview, it's normal for you to be busy, I don't think you have any rudeness." ”

Cesare didn't speak, but she could still feel his gaze fixed on the back of her head, almost burning two holes in her skull - even Woody and the rest of the bodyguards looked surprised, but they didn't intervene in the conversation, but spread out in the hallway, accompanied by an interpreter, and communicated with the local security personnel about security. Xiao Han accompanied Jenny into the room, enthusiastically brought her water and poured tea, looking at his skillful appearance, he should have done this job in the near future.

After Xiao Han greeted Cesare in English, perhaps sensing that Cesare's expression was something wrong, he used Chinese back and communicated directly with Jenny, "Teacher Zhang is relieved to receive you safely, he is also very embarrassed - he should have invited you to a meal and gave you a reception, but now it is the eve of the opening ceremony, and all the performers are allowed to enter and leave, so this matter may have to wait until the day after tomorrow, And the members of our foreign affairs department are also very embarrassed, you were invited to participate in the torch relay ceremony, you are our distinguished guest, but tonight this is not the chairman to hold a state banquet, to entertain presidents and prime ministers, so tonight is really true, acquaintances are really unable to □□ - if you don't mind, Mr. Zhang wants to invite his old partner, who is also a very good friend, Mr. Zhang Weiping to entertain you, please have a meal, I don't know if you would like to enjoy the light......"

Jenny's timing is indeed not very appropriate, in front of the Olympics, everything has to be behind, she is a star, no matter how influential she is, and what ambassador of the United Nations, it is impossible to enter the state banquet and sit on an equal footing with a head of state, it can be said that many senior officials in Beijing are busy for the Olympics, even if she wants to enter some dinner with key figures - such as the director of radio and television, or the □□ director or something - she does not have this opportunity in the two days before the opening ceremony, but of course, she knows that she wants to grasp this line, who should she have a good relationship with.

"I'm sure I must have a good conversation with Mr. Zhang Weiping." She laughs.

Xiao Han suddenly turned red with excitement, and he stood up suddenly, "Then I'll call him now-maybe Mr. Han Sanping can also take the time to come over tonight, if that's the case, it would be great, Mr. Han has always wanted to talk to you, especially after knowing that you will talk Chinese, and even more said that he wants to visit you in Hollywood, but unfortunately I can't make up the time......"

He said hello to Jeanne and Cesare, exited the reception room and went to make a phone call, Jeanne and Cesare glanced at each other, and said back in English, "Tonight we will have dinner with several important figures in the Chinese film industry, and the important figures in the film industry in the official field, the chairman of the China Film Group, may also appear." ”

Because Xiao Han's English is good, and the translator is still on the side, she didn't understand it very clearly, but Cesare should be able to understand the meaning of this - to put it bluntly, this is the oriental version of an important Hollywood party, but the location has changed from a garden house in Hollywood to a private club in Beijing, and people are no longer drinking champagne, but Moutai and Wuliangye, and the focus is still on interpersonal relationships, not eating and drinking.

“ok。” Cesare said, nodding slowly and staring at Jenny, who raised an eyebrow at him with a 'waiting' expression.

But Cesare still couldn't ask after all, because Xiao Han had already finished the call and returned to the reception room, he rubbed his hands, and said excitedly, "It's all arranged, Mr. Zhang Weiping is very excited and happy, you can rest later, we can leave there, so next, let's discuss your itinerary in the next few days?" This allows us to arrange your security and escort - if you want to rest in the hotel tomorrow, of course, there is no problem, the evening is the opening ceremony, so where do you want to walk around in the rest of the year, or do you want to watch the Olympic events? Seats are available for any game you want to watch, such as the Sino-US men's basketball tournament, which is particularly significant, and I'll give you an inside scoop -- □□ may also be involved......"

Jeanne is indeed very interested in some Olympic competitions - for example, the men's and women's gymnastics team competitions, these two competitions she does not want to miss, although Cesare may not stay so late, but she still has to get two tickets, and then of course she can not avoid booking some tours for Cesare to visit the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, etc., as for whether she will go by then, that is another matter, the point now is to let Cesare enhance his understanding of China, which will definitely help Dameng to deploy China's strategy.

After a long flight, everyone was a little tired, and after saying goodbye to the overly excited little Han, Cesare did not linger long, but went to rest in his room, and Jeanne also took a nap - she got up on time, and did not intend to keep the big names in the capital waiting for a long time. When Han knocked on the door of the presidential suite again, she and Cesare were already dressed up and waiting in the reception room.

Perhaps in order to take care of the appetite of Westerners, Producer Zhang arranged the banquet venue in a Western-style club, the area and decoration of this club, are not inferior to the top mansions in Hollywood, which obviously also makes Xiao Han and you honored, under his courteous leadership, Jeanne, Cesare, and the translator walked into the house side by side: there were already more than a dozen guests sitting in front of the large round table, and when they saw the host and guest coming, they got up to greet them, and the middle-aged man who was obviously the producer of Zhang also laughed enthusiastically and stepped forward to greet him as a host-

Jenny didn't react immediately, though, as her gaze crossed the producer's shoulder and lingered on the face of another young man—although she had only glanced at the crowd when she had just entered the room, she had immediately recognized the familiar face, almost instinctively.

Although she was mentally prepared and knew that this was indeed possible, when this moment really came, she still felt a slight tightness in her chest: although it is no coincidence that there is no book, it is too coincidental......
