These two people are none other than Lao Mouzi and Gong Li, who came to participate in the competition for the best foreign language film with "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and they are naturally familiar with these two people, although they don't like their works very much, but they are still very excited to see the familiar faces of their previous lives. I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart, this old Mouzi was not much different from when he was old, but Gong Li is different, this twenty-year-old Gong Li is so beautiful, no wonder she can be on the cover of "Time Magazine"!

It may be that his gaze is too enthusiastic and too excited, which makes Gong Li, who has been staring at her, a little uncomfortable, although she has had many experiences abroad, but at this time Gong Li has not adapted to the open lifestyle abroad, seeing an Asian young man staring directly at herself, she subconsciously retreated behind her boyfriend Lao Mouzi.

Lao Mouzi took a step forward, walked up to Shakru, and asked in a somewhat unkind tone, "May I ask this gentleman, what is the matter with you?" ”

Looking at the expressions of the two, Sha Kelu reacted immediately after being slightly stunned, so he pointed at Gong Li and asked, "May I ask this beautiful young lady, are you Jiu'er in "Red Sorghum"?" ”

This time, it was Lao Mouzi and Gong Li's turn to be stunned, and after a while, Gong Li covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Have you watched "Red Sorghum"? ”

Sha Keru laughed and said: "Not only "Red Sorghum", but I have also watched "Shanghai Beach Gambling Saint". ”

At this moment, the two people were even more shocked, and the old man asked cautiously: "This gentleman, you don't seem to be Chinese, right?" ”

Shakru nodded and said: "Yes, I am Indian, my name is Shakru Pandit, but I like Chinese culture very much, and I also like Chinese movies, what do you call this gentleman?" There is no way to ask this question, he is an Indian who can know the heroine Gong Li through movies, but it is absolutely impossible to recognize the director Lao Mouzi.

"He is the director of "Red Sorghum". Gong Li introduced on the side.

Sha Kru suddenly pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said in surprise: "Oh, it turns out that you are Director Zhang, what a disrespectful and disrespectful person!" You're also here for the David Award this time, right? ”

Lao Mouzi nodded and said, "That's right, this time we came with a new work, may I ask who you are?" ”

"Oh, I'm also here for the David Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but I'm not a director, I'm just responsible for paying for it." Shakru explained.

When Gong Li heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, then you are the producer!" "To put it simply, the producer is the boss behind the film who invests in the film, but this is the name of China, and there is no concept of producer in foreign countries, it is generally a production company, and the boss is easy not to join in the excitement. If the crew is compared to an army, then the actor is a soldier, the director is a general, and the producer is the emperor. At this time, Lao Mouzi and Gong Li have not yet reached the peak of their careers ("Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" is the movie that brought Gong Li the most honor), so the producer still needs to look up.

Lao Mouzi also echoed and asked: "Oh, you are the producer of "The Bandit Queen", this movie has caused a big sensation in the United States recently, I have long wanted to find a chance to study and watch, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet you here today, it's such an honor!" ”

"According to your Chinese words, meeting is fate, so let's do it, when I came here just now, I saw an Amalfi next to it, I ate it once in the United States, the barbecue there is very good, and now it's noon, let's go over and talk while eating!" Shakru invited.

Soon a group of six people came to Amalfi next to them, after introducing Rakuma, Mustafina and Kabaeva, Gong Li and Lao Mouzi's evaluation of Shakru couldn't help but be higher, and the Soviet beauty as an assistant showed that this Indian's business was definitely not small, so the conversation became more and more enthusiastic.

Lao Mouzi even racked his brains to remember the Indian films he once watched: "When I was young, I liked to watch Indian movies, especially the "Caravan", and I still sing the theme song in it." "The Indian film "Caravan" produced in 1971 should be regarded as a masterpiece of Indian cinema for the first time in the early years of Chinese, and this film maintains the tradition of Indian cinema, with a large number of songs and dances, good and evil disputes and comedy factors, and even a rare attention to the current life of gypsies, which is a very healthy and positive entertainment film.

Rakuma also said politely: "That was twenty years ago, and the current Indian films are not as good as before, but Director Zhang, you have been really powerful in the past two years, if I remember correctly, your "Hang the Red Lantern" won the Silver Lion Award in Venice last year and was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. This shows that Rakuma attaches great importance to international films, and he can accurately name the international awards won by a Chinese film, and even Shakru, who has seen this movie in his previous life, does not remember.

Lao Mouzi waved his hand and said: "These awards don't mean anything, now China's film market is still very small, even if the film wins awards abroad, there is no box office in China, unlike your Indian Bollywood, which is already comparable to Hollywood." ”

Sha Kelu comforted: "This is because China's economy has not yet developed for the time being, but now that China is undergoing reform and opening up, I believe that in another ten or eight years, it will be very common for Chinese movies to have a box office of more than 100 million or even more than 1 billion." "This is not Shakru fooling the old man, because in 2015, a billion director club was established in China.

"You know China too well, you even know about reform and opening up!" Gong Li exclaimed.

Shakru knew that he had gone too far, so he quickly explained: "Oh, because I met a Chinese friend who came to India for tourism last year, and this is what he told me, and even those Chinese movies were introduced to me by him." ”

"Since Mr. Pandit knows China so well, has he ever thought of investing in China to make two films?"

Shakru pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Of course you can, but I'm afraid I can't afford to invite two big names like this!" ”

PS: There are so many taboos now, and I haven't pushed Gong Li yet, so I was warned, and I re-revised the chapter.
