Chapter 328 Screening of Orphan’s Resentment
"Dong dong dong!"
"Please come in!"
In Xinyi City, the door of Shi Nansheng's office was pushed open. She looked up and saw Mai Jiaofeng rushing in. She closed the door gently and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
"Tsu Hark has been resting for a week, it's time to go to work!"
"He's very tired from filming two movies in a row. Why don't you give him a few more days off?"
"The Taiwan branch has a script. I've thought about it for a while and it's safest to give it to him. You can ask him to come back and study it. It's very urgent..."
Mai Jia observed the other person's expression and said in rapid succession: "Where did he go...Thailand? No problem. Tell me the hotel and I will go directly to him...Nansheng? The hotel, tell me where it is."
A hotel?”
"Well……"
Shi Nansheng couldn't answer, knowing that he couldn't hide it.
Seeing this, Mai Jia's face instantly turned green. He wanted to lose his temper but didn't dare to be heard loudly, so he shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing? Filming for the leftists is because the company owes you a favor. I thank you, but after the filming
Just don’t contact us!
Let me ask you, did he go to Cannes with you?"
"..."
Shi Nansheng could only remain silent.
Mai Jia is getting more and more crazy.
"You really provide good service, and the publicity goes along with it? Come on, he just won the Golden Horse Award last year. We have a good relationship with Taiwan now, but we can't do this. It will make it difficult for everyone."
"Tsu Hark just went to see the scene and see the response from overseas audiences. He is the director after all. I hope you understand. He will definitely not appear in public, let alone be photographed. Don't worry." Shi Nansheng explained.
"How can I rest assured that you will call him back immediately!"
"I can't call him now. France is visiting an exhibition at this time. He must not be in the hotel, and we can't even make calls from overseas."
"You have to call him back anyway, let alone let it out! Xinyi City has just started to improve. If you block the way forward, no one will forgive you!"
After finishing his lesson, Mai Jia slammed the door and went out.
Shi Nansheng frowned and felt very unhappy: Do you really think of yourself as your immediate boss? Without me, you guys wouldn't even be able to file your taxes. You're a complete team!
And she calculated the time difference, and it happened to be the morning of the 18th in France.
Tsui Hark must have gone to see a movie, and it was indeed impossible to contact him.
…………
"Welcome, I hope you have a pleasant movie-watching experience!"
"Thank you for supporting this movie!"
"Welcome to the premiere!"
In Cannes, at nine o'clock in the morning, at the door of a screening room, Chen Qi, wearing a suit and glasses, greeted the media and guests who came.
On each seat, there is a small red bag, which contains a souvenir book of "Orphan's Revenge", including a brief introduction, behind-the-scenes and various photos, as well as a souvenir: a Chinese knot brought from Hong Kong.
The crew of "The True Story of Ah Q" also came.
Director Shun Fan has a great story. When he was filming at the Great Wall of Hong Kong in the 1940s and 1950s, he had a first love named Xia Meng. Yes, Xia Meng.
Later, the two wanted to return to the mainland, but Cen Fan came back and Xia Meng did not come back because she was a pillar of the Great Wall. So they were separated and could only be brother and sister, but they kept in touch until their deaths.
Of course, Cen Fan and Fu Qi were acquaintances. They shook hands tightly and said with a smile: "Yesterday you cheered for me, and today I cheer for you. To have two Chinese-language films appear in Cannes at the same time was something I could never have dreamed of before.
"
"It will be fine, everything will be fine!"
Fu Qidao.
People came in one after another, most of them foreigners, mostly reporters with oriental faces. Chen Qi shook hands with reporters from Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea, and then another one came in and showed his work badge.
"Taiwan's Central News Agency Hong Kong Branch?"
Chen Qi narrowed his eyes, "Central News Agency" is Taiwan's official news organization, equivalent to Xinhua News Agency in mainland China.
"No entry? I'm here to watch a movie today and I don't want to cause a dispute!"
The other party saw him pause and suddenly spoke, with a mouthful of Shandong flavor.
"Well done! Well done!"
Chen Qi smiled, stretched out his hand, and shouted: "Uncle, this is a fellow from Shandong in Taiwan!"
"welcome!"
Fu Qi came over to shake hands and took him aside to chat for a few words. He worked in Hong Kong all year round and knew some people in Taiwan.
Then, Jacob, Roberts from 20th Century Fox, and other film producers also came. Tsui Hark, wearing sunglasses, and his dog sneaked in, and ran to the auditorium at the back to take a seat.
The pre-publicity said that "Orphan" is a unique thriller.
If you don’t watch this kind of film live, you won’t be able to appreciate its highlights. Fortunately, it was an entry in the competition, so it naturally attracted attention, and about 90% of the seats were occupied. Everyone looked through the gift bags and were very interested in the Chinese knot.
After Chen Qi entertained the guests, he gestured to the staff and returned to his seat.
On the left is Fu Qi, on the right are Qiu Shuzhen, Ed, Amy, Liu Xuehua... Qiu Shuzhen changed into a red skirt and beautiful little leather shoes today, as delicate as a doll.
In fact, she is 14 years old this year. She is no longer a child and should be called a teenager.
But her temperament and face are very tender. When she grew up, she took this style to the extreme and became the number one pure-desire female star!
When the lights dimmed and the screening was about to begin, Chen Qi felt a small hand stretch out from beside her and hold her hand again - this seemed to have become her habit when she was nervous. She turned her head and asked quietly: "Are you familiar with the lines?"
"I know it by heart! But what should I do if someone asks me a question that I can't answer?"
"Leave it to me."
"Uh-huh!"
Qiu Shuzhen held his hand. In addition to seeking comfort, it actually felt very comfortable. Her fingers were slender, well-proportioned and strong, and the back of her hand was smooth and not hairy. She took her father's hand and almost didn't even notice it.
"Orphan's Revenge" made its first public appearance.
The whole audience stared at the screen in silence. After the opening credits, there was a bang, and the light was bright and blinding. However, the lights on the operating table came on. As the screen turned, the heroine Kate's face was filled with fear.
Several medical staff were delivering her baby.
"Where is John? Where is my husband?"
"child!"
"My children! What are you doing?"
Kate's face was pale and she was screaming like a psychopath, but the medical staff were just busy, holding various instruments with expressionless faces. Blood flowed from her lower body, and then flowed from the operating table to the ground...
Everything is so eerie and weird.
Finally, the nurse said the first words: "Congratulations, you are a girl!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the camera suddenly looked up. The nurse was smiling and holding a deformed baby girl with blood-red hands. The baby girl was still crying...
"OH!"
The entire audience was stimulated by this shot and frowned.
"It reminds me of those mindless American horror movies where plasma is used as a swimming pool. This is not my style!"
"I hope there are some bright spots in the back to make it worthy of its status as a competition film."
"I hope so, otherwise I will quit midway!"
A few reporters were talking quietly.
The heroine Kate woke up, and it turned out to be a nightmare, but her expression didn't look too frightened, as if she often had such nightmares.
Her husband, John, was sleeping soundly next to her, and she didn't want to disturb him, so she quietly got up and went to the kitchen.
First I opened the refrigerator and took a look. I wanted to take out a bottle of wine, but I resisted. Instead, I took a box of psychotropic drugs and took one. Then I sat on the kitchen floor, exhausted and afraid to sleep. It seemed that I wanted to
Wait until dawn...
