Chapter 328 Orphan's Grievance Screening

"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 A hotel?”

"Well……"

Shi Nansheng couldn't answer, knowing that he couldn't hide it.

Seeing this, Mai Jia's face turned green instantly. 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 me!

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 you also follow the promotion? 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? You call him back immediately!"

"I can't call him now. France is visiting an exhibition at this time. He is definitely not 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? If it weren't for me, you guys wouldn't even know how to file your taxes. You're a total bastard!

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 there was indeed no way 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.

There is a small red bag on each seat, 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 on the Great Wall of Hong Kong in the 1940s and 1950s, he had a first love named Xia Meng. That's right, 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 so far apart that they could only be brother and sister, but they kept in touch until their death.

Naturally, Cen Fan and Fu Qi knew each other. 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 Qi said.

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 agency, 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 and 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, Jacobs, 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 the audience was about 90%. Everyone looked through the gift bags and were very interested in Chinese knots.

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 is 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, not only to seek comfort, but also to feel comfortable. Her fingers were long, symmetrical and strong, and the back of her hand was smooth and hairless. She pulled her father's hand, which was simply unbearable to watch.

"Orphan" made its first public appearance.

The audience stared at the screen in silence. After the opening credits, there was a bang, and the light was dazzling. It was the light on the operating table that was lit up. As the scene turned, the female protagonist Kate's face was terrified.

Several medical staff were delivering her baby.

"Where is John? Where is my husband?"

"Child!"

"My child! What are you doing?"

Kate's face was pale, and she screamed like a psychopath, but the medical staff were busy, holding various instruments expressionlessly, and blood flowed from her lower body and from the operating table to the ground...

Everything was so eerie and weird.

Finally, the nurse said the first sentence: "Congratulations, it's a girl!"

As soon as the words fell, the camera suddenly moved up, and the nurse was smiling, holding a deformed baby girl in her bloody hands, and the baby girl was still crying...

"OH!"

The audience was stimulated by this shot and frowned.

"It reminds me of those brainless American horror movies that use plasma as swimming pools. This is not my style!"

"I hope there will be some highlights later, so that it can live up to its status as a competition film."

"I hope so, otherwise I will withdraw halfway!"

Several reporters whispered.

The heroine Kate woke up. It turned out to be a nightmare, but she didn't look too scared, as if she often had such nightmares.

Her husband John was sleeping beside her, and she didn't want to disturb him, so she got up quietly and went to the kitchen.

I opened the refrigerator and took a look. I wanted to take out a bottle of wine, but I resisted the urge. I took out a box of psychiatric drugs and took a pill. Then I sat on the kitchen floor, exhausted but afraid to sleep. I seemed to want to wait until dawn...
