This time, Shakru will participate in the "first Changchun International Film Festival", which is also the first international film festival in China, the more famous Shanghai International Film Festival was founded a year later, that is, in 1993, and the film festivals in Beijing and Macao are all after 2000.

Although China has carried out reform and opening up in 1992, its international influence is still very low, and international filmmakers generally do not know that such an international film festival will be held soon.

But as an international film festival, it can't do without foreign works, so the organizing committee is very brain-wrenching in inviting foreign films, and the unfamous films are not willing to invite, but the famous films are not willing to come, just when they are worried, Lao Mouzi put forward a good idea, saying that he met an Indian friend when he participated in the Italian David Awards, and his film "The Bandit Queen" was also nominated for the best foreign language film, and this fame is definitely enough to participate in the disgraced Changchun Film Festival, And the two were chatting quite speculatively at that time, so they were very sure that they could invite him over.

After a review, the organizing committee found that this film is really suitable, the theme of the film is positive and healthy, reflecting the revolutionary spirit of the oppressed toiling masses to rise up and resist, and it is also adapted from real people and real events, without nonsense; The work has also been well received in the industry, and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, known as the "Italian Oscar"; Moreover, China has a tradition of importing Indian films before, and "Caravan" is also a household name in China. Therefore, the organizing committee decided to approve the invitation to "The Bandit Queen" and asked Lao Mouzi to make it happen.

In fact, the fame of this Changchun International Film Festival is really bad, not to mention others, even Lakuma is reluctant to go, I feel that even if I win the award, it will be a waste of time, and it is better to follow the filming of "The Last Princess". But Shakru was much more interested in the invitation, and although he was successful in India, he still identified himself as a Chinese in his heart. Of course, he is not interested in or able to contribute to China's development, but this does not affect his eagerness to return to China to see, especially this time it is Lao Mouzi's initiative to invite. Thinking that China can get Gong Li under his nose again, he can't help but feel a little excited, it seems that what the ancients said is still very reasonable, it is really better to steal from a concubine, and I don't know if Lao Mouzi's invitation to himself is considered to lure a wolf into the room

So Shakru flew to Beijing, China, with the actress of "The Bandit Queen" Sima Biswas, Pivopolova and Sharapova. Then I took a turn to Changchun.

Naturally, he came to greet him at the airport was Lao Mouzi and Gong Li who invited him to come and a leader of the organizing committee, Lao Mouzi was very excited when he saw Sha Kelu get off the plane, before he proposed to invite Sha Kelu to participate in the film festival, in fact, he just said it casually, but he didn't expect that the leader then handed it over to him as a political task, which made him a little difficult to ride a tiger, after all, he and Sha Lu are also a one-sided relationship, who knows if people can give him this face, and now I see Sha Lu coming over in person. A big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, so it was naturally extremely enthusiastic to see Shakru!

Compared with Lao Mouzi, Gong Li's mood is very complicated, she always thought that the two would never see each other again after the last indulgence in the theater bathroom, and this indulgent experience was just an embellishment in her life, but she didn't expect this enemy to come to Changchun this time, she was looking forward to it and nervous, nervous that she didn't know how to face this enemy, whether to make mistakes with him again and again, enjoy the passion of indulgence again, or should avoid him. lest you make mistakes again. But no matter what, in front of others, she must maintain a cold face towards Shakru.

As soon as the two groups of people met, Lao Mouzi stepped forward. Holding Shaklu's hands tightly, he said, "Mr. Pandeit, thank you for coming all the way to participate in the Changchun Film Festival. ”

"Mr. Zhang, you are just outside, we were already friends when we were in Italy, between friends, there is no need to be so polite, and my company's film can participate in such a large-scale international award. It is also our pleasure! Shakru replied politely.

For Shakru's polite reply, both Lao Mouzi and the accompanying leader were very satisfied, so the leader spoke: "Mr. Pandit, you are also polite, we Chinese welcome friends the most, you can rest assured, this trip to Changchun will definitely make you feel at home." ”

Lao Mouzi echoed: "Yes, yes, in order to receive Mr. Pandit this time, the leaders specially hired an authentic Indian food master, and it is said that the curry is particularly good." ”

Shakru really has a stomach ache for this preferential treatment, although he has been through it for several years, but he still doesn't like to eat Indian food, especially the spicy taste of curry, he can't accept it at all, so he shirked and said: "It's too troublesome, in fact, I like Chinese food very much, especially Northeast food, and I will make two Northeast dishes myself, so this time I must taste the authentic Northeast cuisine, and by the way, I will steal a little more." ”

Lao Mouzi was shocked and asked, "No, Mr. Pandit, do you really know how to cook Northeast food?" ”

Sha Kelu nodded and said, "That's right, my Di Sanxian is quite good, I can make it for you when I have the chance!" ”

Sha Kelu's reply surprised the Chinese reception staff present, not to mention foreigners, such as Di San Xian, a pure and authentic Northeast cuisine, even people in other parts of China may not be able to say it, and many people's first impression of Northeast cuisine is "pork stewed vermicelli".

So for a time the atmosphere was extremely harmonious, a group of people left the airport with a smile, this time the organizing committee for Sha Kelu these foreign guests to entertain the standard is very high, the place of accommodation is in last year, that is, in 1991, just built, located in the beautiful Nanhu Lake Changchun Overseas Chinese Hotel. (The Overseas Chinese Hotel we see today was renovated in 2003, but in 1992 it was already the best hotel in Changchun.) (To be continued.) )
