Chapter 194: They're All Here
Rossinia.
The largest slum in Brazil.
Muddy roads, cluttered buildings, and cobweb-like wires everywhere, and when you look up, you can see countless garbage bags and tickets in mid-air, stained on the wires......
When Qi Yufu came here, he was shocked in his heart.
It was hard for him to believe that Zhang Sheng actually put the so-called [Southern California International Film Awards] in this place to open.
Academy Awards, Film Festivals, International Film Festivals......
The cognition of these activities of countless film practitioners stays in the noble, prosperous, artistic, elegant, noisy, trendy, and red carpet......
It was the spring and snow in everyone's hearts.
But......
Rossinia gave Qi Yufu the feeling that he was a lower riba, even unkempt.
This is not only the feeling of Qi Yufu coming here, but also the feeling of other people coming here.
After Meng Shurong, who was spitting out in a boat with the [Oubang Inheritance Ceiling], stepped on this land, his legs trembled violently.
The shock was followed by a wave of unease.
He saw a lot of people wearing masks and holding guns, and although they greeted him warmly, there was only a cold sweat on his back.
Those guns!
It's a real gun!
And then......
He followed behind Leo John, the head of the southernmost area of Rossinia, and saw the environment.
If you use an idiom, it is dilapidated, or it is devastated.
But these people along the way were very enthusiastic, and when they saw him, they all took the initiative to greet him......
But......
His idea of opening a [Oubang Integrated Ceiling] branch in Rossinia was shattered in an instant.
The order he took was Leo John's renovation.
The workers who came with them worked diligently......
On the first day, I worked hard, didn't dare to be lazy, and treated the details even down to the bones.
When he was done, he spontaneously cleaned up Leo John's house!
Much cleaner than their maids.
Leo John was shocked by their service, praising them for their finesse, claiming that they were a first-class company, and even asking them to add some money!
At first they did not dare to take it.
Even, the cleaning was so delicate, it was afraid that Leo John, the underground manager who was close to two meters tall and had a fierce face, would see that there was dust on the ground, and then, without saying a word, he would "burst" them.
They have watched a lot of millennial Hong Kong films, although they didn't feel anything at the time, but at this moment, when they really saw the patrol with loaded guns......
That sense of shadow is still quite sufficient!
Going out, going abroad, and in such a chaotic place, they can go back completely.
Meng Shurong asked them to come to work abroad!
I didn't tell them to take their heads!
A few days passed quickly.
Meng Shurong took the money.
After receiving the money, they wanted to leave, but Leo John wouldn't let them go.
Because of the good work, he introduced Meng Shurong and others to his friends, who felt very satisfied after visiting Leo John's villa, and then wanted to make a wave of it!
Meng Shurong naturally didn't want to refuse......
December 25th.
The second batch of integrated ceilings from Huaxia has arrived.
Meng Shurong returned from the dock with the workers to transport the goods, and then saw countless reporters and directors coming to the entrance of the Rosniya slum......
At the same time, the slum is vaguely divided into eight areas, each of which has a big screen and a big stage......
Every day, movies from China are shown on the side of these big stages.
This time......
Leo John has been busy with these things.
………………………………
There are many movies in Huaxia......
It's all foggy.
The film is not specifically made for "overseas version", and there is not even an "English version".
Only Chinese......
How can the people of Brazil, especially those from the low-level slums, many of whom have never left this chaotic land in their lives, understand Chinese?
Everyone can only look at the characters in the movies in a daze, guessing what these movies are about.
But......
And no one left here.
They feel fresh!
Every time I watch a movie, someone always tells them that this plot is like this, like this......
Every day, the people around them interpret the plot differently.
So, the same movie, they can see a different flavor every time they watch it!
Lacey brought her relatives and friends with her.
He told relatives and friends to walk through the staff aisle, where there were reserved seats for them.
As one of the directors of this [Southern California International Film Festival], Lacey has a special work permit.
Looking at the surprise of relatives and friends when they left, and the gaze of the distant people who had no place and could only stand and watch the movie, Lacey felt an unprecedented sense of vanity in her heart.
Zhang Sheng, the boss of Huaxia......
I sent him a suit.
He didn't know what brand the suit was, only that the brand of the suit had a LOGO on the big billboard not far away, and he was very comfortable and fit well.
The Southern California International Film Festival has a very large audience for film screenings.
Lacey and Qi Yufu from Huaxia originally thought that there were about 300 seats, but when the first screening was held, nearly 1,000 people poured in.
Qi Yufu looked at the crowd of black pressure, the seats with almost no gaps, and after he glanced at it, he almost couldn't breathe.
Before the opening of the film, he repeatedly reminded Lacey that no one here should be allowed to smoke.
I'm afraid of a fire, and then, it will cause a big tragedy!
At the screening on the second day, the number of guests poured in was not less, but more!
These movies!
It's all free movies!
Although I can't understand what the plot is talking about, I don't take advantage of it!
Everywhere you can use it......
Fortunately, Leo John called a large number of security personnel and stood guard at the entrance not far away, armed with guns......
On the third day......
Some of the staff of [NC Studio] have come.
They are "labor-paid" vacations.
Zhang Sheng rewarded them for their hard work these days, and then took them on a free trip abroad.
When these men came over, they were warmly received by Leo John, who took them to the nearby beach for a walk.
These people are so excited!
On the evening of the third day, Qi Yufu received news.
It is reported that the directors of these films have come to participate in the exhibition......
Qi Yufu suddenly felt a trace of unease.
………………………………
The official website of the Southern California International Film Festival is very exquisite.
Beautiful beaches, bikini girls, passionate samba, and authoritative judges......
Chen Bin, the director of "Paging 1988", is looking forward to it very much.
When he was on the plane, he had imagined how much prosperity and enthusiasm he would encounter after he landed......
And then!
When the plane landed and raised a burst of choking dust, Chen Bin felt a little more discrepancy in his heart.
The car is driving in the rich area, although there is a sense of disparity, but it is not much, but it makes Chen Bin feel a little exotic.
And then......
The car did not stop at the largest theater in the affluent area.
The Southern California International Film Festival isn't over there......
Nor did it stop in the biggest movie theater, but sped up and jumped over a dreary, more dusty wall......
Then, Chen Bin was stunned!
He saw countless jagged buildings, potholed earth, and scalp-tingling garbage......
"Our film festival won't be in this place......
Chen Bin turned his head to look at the assistant director Gao Hui, and followed Gao Hui to jokingly say such a sentence.
Gao Hui's face was also very ugly......
Although his uncle Takato repeatedly reminded him that this broken award was a pheasant award.
But......
He also has some hope in his heart, and feels that the lower limit is not too bad!
After all, the domestic heat is so high now, isn't it?
But!
When the car stopped at the foot of a hill, they saw a large stage, sitting under the "public judges" watching movies attentively......
When he saw the simple decoration, the large advertising cloth with various advertisements pasted on it......
When he saw the big screen, no, what kind of big screen was it, it was clearly the early movie projection equipment......
That moment!
He only felt a strong shock in his heart.
My mouth is even wide open, and I even feel like I'm going crazy!
This is too special a pheasant award!
But......
What is done cannot be undone!
He is in Huaxia, and he has cooperated to blow this film festival into the sky......
Now go back......
How embarrassing?
In the end, he could only bite the bullet, took out the invitation, and then, under the gaze of the "public judges", walked in awkwardly.
Evening.
Sunset.
In the distance, another car drove up.
down a few directors and actors......
After Gao Hui entered, he stopped slightly!
He could see that these directors and actors were all confused!
A few girls even scolded them on the spot, scolding them for being cheated and deceived!
This Film Awards?
It's a sinkhole!
But......
After scolding for a while, they shut up again.
They saw a smiling security guard with a loaded gun in the distance.
Although they did not understand what they meant by speaking Portuguese, they seemed to welcome them.
But......
How can anyone welcome this thing?
Several directors stared at those spears, and their hearts were almost beating to their throats.
Finally, they nodded their heads and smiled more ugly than crying.
And then......
They were brought into the venue like piglets, and sat in their own specific seats.
Eventually, watch their movie premiere.
Not far away......
Qi Yufu looked at this scene......
Especially after seeing the expressions of those directors, he exhaled deeply.
Didn't you say these directors would come?
Didn't they send the prize to Huaxia?
Damn it!
Zhang Sheng's phone, why can't he get through until now?
If Zhang Sheng told him in advance that these directors would come to the exhibition, then he wouldn't be so low......
But now......
Qi Yufu kept making long-distance calls in China.
He and Zhang Sheng have been disconnected for more than 20 days.
On the twenty-first day......
He finally got through Zhang Sheng's phone through his son Qi Haifeng.
He told Zhang Sheng......
The directors also came, and many things seemed to be hidden.
But on the other end of the phone, Zhang Sheng seemed calm.
only said that he asked Ke Zhanyi to bring a recording, and he would play the recording tomorrow.
