Chapter 51 Conditions

said that he was trying to find a way, but in fact Shakru had no way at all, and there was only one landlord he knew, Mr. Sangyi, not to mention how far Assam was from New Delhi, even if it was close, he estimated that Sangyi would not help him with this, which has nothing to do with the deep friendship between the two, and has nothing to do with whether Sangyi has received a modern education, it is purely the ass that decides the head!

Just when Shakru was worried, someone took the initiative to apply for help, and this person was none other than the well-known Indian lawyer Patela Sharkru, whom he knew when he was a shareholder of Infosys in the United States.

When Shakru learned that old Patera had come to visit, he was still a little surprised, because he had the impression that this old man had rarely returned to India in recent years, and had spent most of his time in the United States, but no matter what, people came to the door, and they had to receive him.

So Shakru greeted him very warmly: "Mr. Patera, when did your old man return to India, why don't you call in advance, I can visit you." ”

Old Patella smiled and said, "I'm an old man, I don't have much to do all day long, but I'm not as busy as you young people, so it's better for me to come, as long as you don't think I'm disturbing your work." ”

Shakru hurriedly said: "What do you say, it is my honor for you to come." ”

After a few small talks, old Patella cut to the chase and said, "Little Shakru, I heard that you are going to make a movie recently?" ”

Shakru said a little embarrassedly: "I also had a whim, I was curious for a while, and I thought that the theme of Pran David was very interesting, and I have always been interested in movies, so I had this idea." ”

Old Patella said meaningfully: "You are not curious, I have seen a lot of young people who play tickets and make movies, usually to please a few beautiful girls or show off their prestige, but no one will choose this kind of sensitive and dangerous subject." ”

"Well, so it seems that I chose the wrong theme?" Shakru asked tentatively.

Old Patella shook her head and said, "On the contrary, I personally like the subject you have chosen, and I think that if you succeed, your income will be unexpectedly good." ”

Then the elder Patella explained: "After all, you are not from Bollywood, so you can't compare with those old film companies in song and dance films, and the domestic film market in India is relatively special, although there are many viewers, but the ticket price is too low, so it is better to open up overseas markets, I have stayed in the United States for many years, and I have really seen the reasons for the success of Hollywood, the Hollywood market is not only limited to the United States, but also has enough influence and appeal in other countries. And Indian movies basically can't get out of India, and the only advantage is that Hollywood can't get in. ”

Regarding the ticket price, Shakru is deeply touched, the ticket price of American movies is almost ten times that of India (the ticket price of 8-10 US dollars a piece, the American is still too expensive, and he does not look at how much our income in China is, and what the ticket price is), so this is also the reason why he wants to open the American market.

"In addition, this kind of film that reveals the real situation in the country has always been the most popular overseas, after all, people who have been to India will not believe that the song and dance plot in the song and dance film will be the real situation in India, but they do not have the time and energy to explore the real situation, so this kind of film will definitely attract attention. Another point may be related to the natural superiority of Europeans and Americans, who like to see people in other countries living in dire straits, and through comparison, a sense of happiness can be generated. (To complain, China's early award-winning films such as "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" and "Red Sorghum" were able to win awards abroad for some reason.) )

Shakru clapped his hands and praised: "Your old man's insight is really profound, I have vaguely thought of a lot of the truth you said before, but I have never been able to say it, today I heard you say this, I finally figured out what is going on." ”

Old Patera glared: "Don't fool me, you little guy, I won't help you if you don't say anything like this." ”

"You're here to help me today?" Shakru said with some surprise.

"Of course, otherwise do you think my old man will come to you with nothing to do? I heard that your little director was looking for someone to help shoot the exterior in a nearby village, but no one agreed, so I thought I'd come and help you. Old Patera snorted.

As soon as he heard this, Shakru suddenly perked up, and hurriedly said: "Oh, if you can help me in this matter, it will be a great favor for me, do you have any good ideas?" ”

This time, the old Patella was not in a hurry, leaned back on the sofa, and said slowly: "I heard that your Vietnamese coffee here is very fragrant." ”

Hearing the song and knowing the meaning of the strings, Sha Keru hurriedly said: "I'll let Priti, ah, no, I'll go and make a cup for your old man in person." ”

After a while, old Patella said while sipping coffee: "What good way can I do it, I can only fight this old face and let you go to the village of the juniors in the family to film." ”

Old Patera said this, Shakru must believe it, because with the huge strength of the Patella family, it is normal to have a few villages next to Delhi, and as the elder of the family, Old Patella said that even if the juniors below are unhappy, they can only cooperate honestly.

So Shakru said very gratefully: "Thank you so much, old man."

Before Shakru could finish speaking, old Patella interrupted him and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I didn't do you a favor for nothing this time, and in return, you have to do me a favor." ”

"No problem, if you have any orders, even if there is no today's matter, I am duty-bound." Shakru said, patting his chest.

Old Patella smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, my granddaughter Amisha is about to go on summer vacation, she plans to go around various cities, but my old arms and legs can't accompany her, so I hope that little Shakru can accompany Amisha out for me." How about it, such a good errand, you won't say no, right? ”
