Chapter 273: Good Luck Comes
'Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom-'
Accompanied by the sound of cannons resounding throughout the city of Beijing, judging from the footage in the aerial photography, one after another huge footprint-shaped fireworks were lit up over the city of Beijing, as if a giant came across the sea, holding the Olympic flame, and walked into the sky above the bird's nest. This magnificent scene caused waves of cheers throughout the city of Beijing, and also made the audience in the stadium cheer proudly: they had just witnessed a high-level gala performance, from the perspective of the audience, this time the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was simply beautiful, there was nothing to be faulted with, and the final fireworks display and ignition ceremony were also tiger heads and leopard tails, drawing a beautiful end to the theatrical performance.
"There are a lot of footprints in the sky over Beijing, which is of course very beautiful, but we still hope that there aren't too many birds near the fireworks site." On the BBC broadcast, the anchor commented in a slightly sour tone - of course, the snarky British humour is the BBC's specialty, but the audience can easily tell that the sourness in the anchor's words is not so lightly...... And it's easy to understand, because for them, the high-level performance that China has just presented is a bit scary, after all, for many people, the difference between Beijing and Pyongyang is not so big, and they certainly don't want to see a country across the ocean, conceptually evil, become stronger by the day. Although their TV shows talk about Beijing as a backward region, the audience is not hopelessly stupid, and after watching an opening ceremony, they will naturally have their own understanding.
"Beijing looks almost as modern as New York," Jon felt similarly as she was watching the CNN commentary, turning to Harry and picking up a muffin and putting it in her mouth, "It's even newer than New York, isn't it?" After all, their high-rise buildings are supposed to have been built in the last few decades, and in that respect, living in Beijing is certainly more comfortable than living in New York. β
Because the city was built early, there are many historic buildings in New York that have not been demolished, and there are people living in them, this kind of living experience is definitely not comparable to living in a new house, and it is not easy for even the owner to repair it, Harry snorted, "Beijing should also have an old city, this is their opening ceremony, Joan, of course they will take out the most decent side to entertain guests." β
Although they were finding faults, Harry and Jon also reached a silent consensus: there is no doubt that this was the highest level of opening ceremony performance in recent years, and the vigor of Beijing was almost frightening - of course, at the same time, Harry, as a sports fan, was still satisfied with the opening ceremony, but he didn't want to admit it publicly, so he changed the subject a little desperately, "It seems that you received false news, J.J. didn't come to Beijing to participate in the Olympics - it's been so long, She wasn't brought to her in the camera at all, and if she was really invited to the opening ceremony, I think the BBC director would have given her a shot, wouldn't they? β
Jon snorted, but still a little unrelenting, "But she can only come to Beijing recently because of this incident, and you have seen those photos, J.J. is really at the Beijing airport." β
Jon didn't have any special feelings about China, but the Olympics were high-profile events, and it was at least an honor for her to be invited to participate in the opening ceremony and the torch relay. Although some newspapers hinted that Jenny's political leanings were problematic, there was no big repercussions among fans and the public, after all, it was no longer the McCarthy era, and the antagonism between China and the United States was not so serious. For the Beijing Olympics, then celebrities should also be allowed to sing the praises of love and peace, and for less politically concerned viewers, they are more likely to find Jenny's remarks justified - if they do. The system is just, then even the delegation should not be sent, and since the country has sent a delegation, it shows the position of the government, in this case, for the sake of peace and understanding, it is not a big deal to pass the torch, and even many people are proud of Beijing because of the fact that Beijing likes Jennifer so much, after all, this is a pure American star, and she has grown up step by step in everyone's attention, knowing that she has become a world superstar and is so influential in Asia, even if she is not a fan of Jenny, There will also be a kind of patriotism, and I like to see the stars of my country being courteously and welcomed overseas.
Since this is the case, Jon would like to see Jenny in the Olympic stands, but for now, the cameras in the stands will only be aimed at dignitaries from various countries, obviously by pre-arrangement, at least in the entertainment show, it seems that the director does not pay attention to the reaction in the stands, she can only hope that Jennifer can be swept later in the athletes' entrance ceremony - of course, provided that she is really invited.
"By the way, speaking of China, I have to show you a picture of the Beijing airport-" Jon went to Harry's apartment to watch the opening ceremony, for the sake of his huge TV, she woke up poor Harry at 4 o'clock in the morning, and now both of them are a little sleepy, so while eating breakfast, she is trying to find a topic, so as not to accidentally doze off and miss the original purpose of getting up early. "You can't tell how enthusiastic Chinese fans areβahβ"
She screamed, stamped her feet in excitement at the TV, and chanted like a song, "J.J, J.J, J.J - oh my God, Harry, it's really her!" β
Yes, it was her, Harry narrowed his eyes and quickly turned to the TV - in one of the more luxurious stands, the camera was caught by a blonde girl, who was wearing a red suit and stood out in the dim light, and after noticing that she was on the big screen, she stopped talking to the blonde man next to her and waved her hand at the camera with a smile.
The BBC director seemed to have a soft spot for her, and let the camera linger on her for a full five or six seconds, before cutting to broadcast the athletes' entrance ceremony, it seems, for them, the smile of the beautiful woman is indeed more fun than the athlete's entry, and the two commentators of CNN have also excitedly shouted, "It's Jennifer. Jefferson! β
"Indeed, how did this mysterious girl slip away to China again?" During the lengthy athletes' entrance commentary, several commentators were drowsy, and now they are also in good spirits. Jefferson, "If we're not mistaken, it's three Oscar winners, Jennifer. Jefferson -- Oh, according to a colleague, she took part in the Beijing Olympic torch relay earlier this year......"
Not every country's commentary team is as professional as CNN, and some commentators are completely silent about this paragraph, but not only the people in the United States, Britain and other regions can recognize her, at this moment, in all time zones around the world, or in the middle of the night or noon, countless voices are chanting and shouting a name in various languages: Jennifer. Jefferson.
"Isn't that the star of Pirates of the Caribbean?" In a bar in Ginza, Japan, an office worker asked a little confused. Wine girl, "I'm not mistaken, Nanako? β
Nanako, who was chatting with him very speculatively, was no longer focused on the customer, and she watched the TV intently, "Yes, it's her, the star of "The Devil Wears Prada", Hiroshi, look at her suit and bag, how beautiful-"
"Really?" Hiroshi said happily that he didn't take Nanako's words: Japanese women's love for famous brands is famous, and Nanako likes Hermes very much, and she will make her such a dreamlike bag in this short shot, it will definitely not be cheap. "She still looks so beautiful - speaking of which, Nanako, has she had a movie released recently? Let's go to the movies together. β
Nanako glanced at Hiroshi, drank the wine in the cup with a smile, and asked the slightly drunk Hiroshi to fill her, and she had already taken the opportunity to pour the wine and found out Jenny's movements.
"There are no Jennifer Sang movies in the cinema now, Guangzhijun." She winked playfully at the male guest, "However, her Marilyn this winter. The Monroe biopic will be released, and Jennifer will play the legendary beauty Marilyn, and at that time, remember the agreement with Nanako. β
Coincidentally, just as Nanako was using her means to win over customers, in all corners of the world, people were asking similar questions, "That's Jennifer. Jefferson, right? β
"Who's the handsome guy next to her?"
"Why is she in Beijing?"
"Looks like I haven't seen her movie in a while, has it? Let's see what she's doing......"
Maybe not every viewer can recognize her, and not every viewer who recognizes her will ignite an interest in searching for information, but this is the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and the ratings of this world event are a very scary number in the world, and to be able to show their faces in such a program, the ratings represented are not at all comparable to the ace programs of any country, even if the probability is only 1%, 0.1%, but this also represents an extremely terrifying number, almost immediately, in the real-time search database of many countries, Jennifer. The Jefferson keyword has skyrocketed and become the latest hot topic, and related to this is a similar question: 'Who was the beauty at the opening ceremony?' ''Jennifer. Did Jefferson go to the Beijing Olympics? β
Driven by this source, the search index of "My Week with Monroe" has also risen again and again, and without any pre-publicity, it has become the search headline of film and television in just a few hours: this is the power of the Olympic Games, of course, it can also be said that this is the power of politics and events, just such a shot, an appearance, the "Monroe" team has gained attention that cannot be bought with a lot of money, and Jennifer. Jefferson's style has also been greatly improved - no matter how much people criticize the Beijing regime, it is a big country government after all, and being invited to be a guest of honor at the opening ceremony is certainly a sign of influence for a star.
She's already a global superstar......
Probably with Michael. Jackson is pretty much the same......
Across the United States, there are people who think so, and this national pride in exporting foreign cultures and witnessing the transnational achievements of Chinese people also makes them think, 'Jennifer. Jefferson's name adds a touch of warmth: while it may seem a bit narcissistic to say so, the fact that Jennifer was given a few shots at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics (most people don't know that it was a BBC-hosted broadcaster) does show that she is already a global powerhouse β another big man for us Americans......

Although she sat in a relatively conspicuous position and was dressed in bright colors, even Jeanne could not have predicted that the BBC announcer would turn the camera on her, and the director had cut the camera for so long, and when she found herself on the big screen, that is, like a general audience, she waved her hand excitedly, and as soon as the camera turned away, she couldn't wait to pick up the conversation with Cesare, and whispered about the important meeting just nowβof course, that was before the theatrical performance. However, during the time just now, both of them watched the performance intently, and Jenny has been comparing the differences between the opening ceremonies on the two timelines - she had previously suggested that Director Zhang communicate with the BBC about the rebroadcast, so as not to destroy the excellent opening ceremony by the broadcast technology, and she also wanted to know if her words had played their due role.
"Yes, there are no cameras around, this is a private visit." She had no idea how the world had changed because of this scene, and she excitedly continued, "I'll have to explain to you his promotion and why he is considered the next master......
As the leader of the country, of course, the biggest big man can't add to the itinerary at will, but the one who is the head of the department is much freer, plus he has a deep relationship with the literary and artistic world, and it is not a strange thing to make a surprise visit by chance, and this also explains why this stand was quite empty before: most of the audience shook hands with the big man in the lounge and took pictures. But, of course, there was no news page for this matter, and the procedure was relatively casual, and the people were not complete, if it weren't for the fact that he remembered the torch relay at that time and had seen her movie, so he specially asked Jenny, and she would not have been called over.
Although this incident made Xiao Han choke on excitement enough, but for Jenny, if it was just a simple meeting with the president, she would not be too excited, she had met the president herself - and more than once, and more than one, and what really made her happy about this meeting was not even the identity of the person after him, but the culture he carried with him. Minister, and the content of the conversation between the two: knowing that she can speak Chinese, that one is also very happy, of course, to ask the reason, and her 'theory of the rise of the Chinese film market' makes the other party quite excited, on the spot about culture. The minister instructed, 'China and the United States should help each other and explore a win-win model, Miss Jefferson just said very well, Lao Cai, you should ......have more exchanges when you have time.'
Although this seems to be just an official sentence and a clichΓ©, without any practical significance, but characters at this level can be used. Jun no joke' to describe: for himself, sometimes some simple words contain profound meanings, sometimes they are completely jokes, but for the people below, it is different, since it is impossible to distinguish which sentence is a joke and which sentence is not, then the safest way to do it must be treated as a big thing, plus Jenny feels that when he says this, the intention is still quite obvious, although the attitude is more casual (after all, this level of convenience is indeed a casual sentence for him, he will not look at it, and he will not include it in the calculation of chips, transaction), but she can feel that Minister Cai's mentality of the leader is vividly figured out, he will never and did not misunderstand the meaning of the big leader - just now, the two sides have exchanged business cards and agreed to a private meeting a few days later, it is conceivable that in the next few years, at least her film will enter China, it will definitely be a green light, and even if a long-term cooperation model is explored, the cooperation can be further deepened......
This time I came to China, mainly to pave the way for Da Meng's future stationing, and at this point, it is better to have money than to have a relationship, otherwise Jeanne would not be able to convince Cesare to let her run the Olympic torch - however, even so, she thought that Mr. Han was already the highest-level person she could come into contact with, in fact, Mr. Han was indeed enough, but, of course, no one would refuse a better opportunity, wouldn't it? Even Jenny couldn't believe that she really had such good fortune that the big man came up with her name by chance and had such a pleasant conversation with her...... This is simply a pillow for sleepiness, it can be said that with that person's words, she came to Beijing this time, and the strategic purpose of her career is not to be completed.
"Looks like we've got our luck," she said to Cesare, holding back the excitement in her heart, "maybe you can postpone your ticket and go on this appointment with me, Mr. Cai has already talked with me about the schedule of Monroe, and it might be better if you attended the dinner with me, after all, it seems more discreet." β
"You have a point," Cesare muttered for a moment, but eventually shook his head, "but I think I'd better go back to Los Angeles as originally planned - the first preview of Monroe is about to take place, and since you're still in China and can't return, I think I'd better go back to Los Angeles and look at the critics, after all, the first reviews are also very important for the impression score of the film......"
