For Tony's explanation, Buthart expressed his understanding, but he proposed that he could only pay half of the deposit before verifying that the production method was completely correct, and he would deliver the remaining half a month later, which Tony also agreed, originally Pfizer did this to get angry, and making money was secondary.

So, in the evening, at the hotel, a strange young American brought a bag of information to trade with Buhat, and Buhat immediately returned to New Delhi to conduct the experiment after receiving the information. (This is a foreshadowing to be used later to provoke conflict.) ）

While Bukhart was secretly attacking Shakru, Shakru was in Haryana for a celebratory reception at the 1992 Indian International Film Festival. Although the Indian International Film Festival is one of the earliest A-class international film festivals in Asia, it still adheres to India's consistent strange style, and will only be held in New Delhi in odd-numbered years, and it is a competition for awards and awards; But in even-numbered years, there are no competitions, no awards, and no awards in New Delhi, but in alternate capitals of Indian states.

This year is 1992, which is an even-numbered year, so this year's film festival does not award awards, but even so, those who can get invitations to the celebration banquet are all the most influential figures in the Indian film industry, you must know that India can produce hundreds of films a year, ranking first in the world in terms of quantity, and even Hollywood can't compare to him. (According to the data, in 2006, Indian Bollywood produced 1091 feature-length films, ranking first in the world, while the United States only had 485 films in the third place, and the second place is estimated to be unexpected, it is actually Nigeria, which is known as Naulywood, with 872 films)

It is conceivable how many filmmakers there are in India, and no matter how large a banquet is, it can't invite too many people, so the invitation to this banquet can show how well a filmmaker has achieved in the past year. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that his "Bandit Queen" is one of the few films to win international honors in recent years, he would never have been able to get this invitation as a newcomer in the film industry, so Shakru was very happy and brought Rakuma to participate.

Although Shakru has just entered the film industry and his qualifications are still young, he has attracted much attention at this banquet, one reason is that his "Bandit Queen" is both popular and popular, both making money and shortlisted for international awards, which can be described as a double harvest, which will naturally attract everyone's attention.

On the other hand, because he is an investor in the film, before 2000, Indian films were often financed by independent distributors or a handful of large studios. Banks in India have been barred from lending money for film production, and some of the money for film production has even been raised illegally. Mumbai's gangsters have made movies, financed celebrities, and used force to win contracts. In January 2000, a Mumbai mob killer shot Roshan after Rakesh Roshan refused to be involved in the release of his film. (Roshan is a film director and the father of movie star Hrithik Roshan.) In 2001, India's police agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation, seized all of the film's footage after discovering that the film ChoriChoriChupkeChupke was being financed by members of the underworld Mumbaiunderworld.

In this case, a wholly-owned investor like Shakru will naturally be welcomed by all filmmakers, after all, without funds, no film can be made, so Shakru is surrounded by a large number of directors and actors, and Lakouma, who is on the periphery, is once again glad for his wise decision, otherwise, he would not even have a chance to get into the circle of the boss in front of him.

Shakru, who had been annoyed by these people, just wanted to find an excuse to go out for a walk to take a breath, but suddenly he saw a girl on the periphery of the circle who looked very familiar, so he took a few steps forward and asked, "This beautiful young lady, where do I seem to have seen you?" ”

Although Shakru's way of accosting her was extremely old-fashioned, the girl was obviously still a little shy and nervous, but fortunately, she immediately replied for her: "Hello Mr. Pandeit, this is Miss Aishwarya Ray, a newcomer to our VivaNDiva company recently, and she did the Shari commercials that are currently being broadcast on various channels. ”

This company is a veteran modeling agency in India, with a large scale, and many movies will look for actresses here, so it is not surprising that they appeared at today's banquet, but this girl's name completely shocked Shakru, if the most famous Indian actor is Aamir Khan, then the most famous actress must be this Aishwarya Ray in front of her, if I remember correctly, by the year after tomorrow, that is, in 1994, she won the Miss World championship, and was called " India's No. 1 Beauty"!

It's just that at this time, Aishwarya has obviously just debuted, and she doesn't have the kind of goddess style that shined all over the country in her previous life, so Shakru just felt familiar for a while, but she didn't recognize it, but now that she knows that this is the first beauty in India in the future, she naturally can't let it go now, so he said very enthusiastically: "Oh, why do I say it's so familiar, it turns out that it is a big beauty that I can see on TV every day!" ”

Before Aishwarya could answer, the agent preemptively said, "It's rare that Mr. Pandit has such a good impression of Aishwarya, so I wonder if you can reserve a role for Aishwarya in your next new play?" ”

Shakru was worried that there was no suitable excuse to keep Aishwarya, and when he heard the agent say this, he immediately said happily: "Of course you can, but because the theme of this movie is relatively special, and the main actors in it are relatively old, so I can only give Miss Lei a role that is not too heavy, but if the cooperation is good and Miss Lei's acting skills can be honed, I have a new play here that is improving the script is very suitable for Miss Lei." ”

"Mr. Pandit, I wonder what the subject of this new play you are talking about?" Aishwarya finally calmed down, and asked generously and shyly.

"Eh, it is a film that reflects the love and humanity during the division of India and Pakistan." This is not Shakru is talking nonsense, he has decided to make this movie as early as when he met Amisha Patera, although he has only seen such a film by Amisha, but this movie has made a very deep impression on him, because there are very few films with this theme in India or Pakistan, especially such a realistic shooting method, which is extremely rare.
