The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Chapter 137 Exchange Group Watching "Avatar"

"I'm sorry, I'm an atheist. Although I know everyone calls me Yueshen, and I object to it, I also accept it. Do you understand? I'm just too lazy to talk more."

After Xiaoyue said these words, she felt very tired, so she was too lazy to say more!

The more she explained, the less clear it became. This was how she was talking to Wu Hao now.

Wu Hao looked unconvinced, as if to say, "Don't lie to me."

Xiao Yue waved her hand and said, "Hurry up and go to film. Call me when it's my turn."

On this day, Xiaoyue felt like everything was in chaos and her life was a mess.

The next day, Xiaoyue went directly to Dadi Cinema.

She arrived a little early and waited for a while before Mary came hurriedly.

Ma Li looked at Xiao Yue, who was exhausted from the journey, and complained, "Boss Cheng, why didn't you inform me earlier?"

"I'm sorry, I was busy yesterday and forgot about it, and I just remembered it this morning."

This was indeed Xiaoyue's negligence. She only remembered it when she went out early in the morning.

When Ma Li thought about the appearance of foreigners on the Internet, it was a bit like the appearance of children visiting the zoo.

"Boss Cheng, I'm so excited. I've never seen a living foreigner before!"

Xiao Yue looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, so she said: "Don't say what you just said outside, it will cause conflicts between the two countries. Remember, do more and talk less."

Ma Li also realized that her words were ambiguous, and quickly agreed: "Mr. Cheng, I'll remember it."

At this time, the leader of the theater came out and saw Xiaoyue wearing a mask, and hurriedly greeted her.

"Morning, President Cheng. Don't worry, the theater we arranged for today is definitely big enough to accommodate hundreds of people."

Xiao Yue was also very polite: "Thank you for the cooperation of Dadi Cinema. This is an official mission and it's just to watch a movie. You don't have to be nervous."

The theater leader nodded in agreement, extremely respectful.

Half an hour later, the official bus arrived and the members of the United Nations exchange group got off and entered the Dadi Cinema.

Fox said to a short middle-aged man, "Bob, I heard that the movie we are watching today is called Avatar, which was written and directed by Cheng Xingyue. I heard that you need to wear 3D glasses to watch it. To be honest, I am looking forward to it, but I don't know how it compares to our United Nations movie."

Bob is the most famous director of the United Nations. The United Nations paid a considerable price to invite him to China this time.

Bob looked very arrogant and said disdainfully: "I don't believe that our United Nations movies will lag behind China's. I will discuss with the Chinese officials later and decide whether to watch my movie "King Kong" first and then their "Avatar"."

Fox was very optimistic about Bob's "King Kong". The plot and special effects were very excellent. It was the best United Nations movie in recent years. Therefore, he did not object to Bob's proposal.

Claiborne and Pollini heard their conversation and both shook their heads slightly, disapproving of their actions.

The incident of Hoff being slapped in the face the day before yesterday is still fresh in their minds. Thinking about China's technological level, Claiborne and Pollini both feel that the same scenario may happen again today.

The purpose of Cliburn and Pollini's visit today was not to watch the movie; they wanted to meet Cheng Xingyue and exchange ideas with her about their experience in playing the piano.

Three minutes later, they entered a screening room in Dadi Cinema that could accommodate hundreds of people. The official people exchanged a few polite words with Xiaoyue and the cinema leaders, and then they all took their seats.

"Hello, Ms. Cheng."

Claiborne and Pollini greeted Xiaoyue in broken Chinese.

Xiao Yue responded politely, in a neutral tone: "Mr. Claiborne, Mr. Pollini, hello!"

The theater leader asked the official assistant Wang: "Mr. Wang, should we show our "Avatar" first?"

Bob suddenly stood up and said, "Can't we show my movie King Kong first? Is this how you Chinese treat guests?"

Assistant Wang's face darkened and he said, "Our Chinese etiquette is that the guest should follow the host's wishes. I am the host. In our Chinese country, you guests must obey. Otherwise, it is impolite. Do you understand?"

When Fox saw that the Chinese government's attitude was very tough, he patted Bob on the shoulder and signaled him not to argue anymore.

When the theater leaders saw this, they felt much more relaxed. What is there to worry about in China?

"Then let's get started?"

Xiaoyue said: "Wait, my version will be shown today." Then she took out the USB drive.

Special Assistant Wang asked: "Is there any difference?"

Xiaoyue smiled and said: "This one has German subtitles, and the songs are also in German."

Special Assistant Wang smiled and said, "Miss Cheng is indeed thoughtful."

The cinema chain leader hurriedly took the USB drive and arranged the screening.

Five minutes later, Avatar began showing.

At the very beginning of the plot, the protagonist's current situation as a disabled person with no money for medical treatment was introduced. He dreamed that he could fly over the jungle. The scene was so beautiful, and the special effects directly blinded the people in the United Nations exchange group.

Needless to say, the various fighting scenes, the jungle sacred trees, etc., one wonderful scene after another, the various soundtracks, especially the theme song "I see you" was actually sung in German.

Those singers and arrangers were all shocked. This movie was so amazing. It had a good plot, great special effects, and even the soundtrack was first-rate. The most important thing was that the use of 3D technology had opened up a new direction for the development of movies.

Bob's face looked extremely ugly at this moment. He really regretted his previous remarks. Now even Fox would probably laugh at him for overestimating his own abilities, right?

Well, he was right. Fox now not only felt that Bob was overestimating his own capabilities, but also felt that he was very stupid. Blind confidence without understanding the situation was arrogance. At the same time, Fox also regretted bringing a delegation to China this time. He originally thought it would be an opportunity to demonstrate his diplomatic strength, but he did not expect to suffer two disastrous defeats after only five days in China. He was worried about what to do in the next twenty days!

Even though Bob's movie King Kong had not yet been released, everyone in the United Nations Exchange Group knew that they had lost again.

The people who were most stimulated this time were not only Bob, but also singers Carly and Sean. They not only admired the good film, but more importantly, the soundtrack was a fusion of many instruments, very much like a symphony. The song "I See You" was really a great German song, and it would be second to none even in the United Nations.

So, after the movie ended, the screening room was silent. Special Assistant Wang was already grinning from ear to ear. He knew it would be like this, otherwise he would not have had that confidence before the screening. It felt so damn good to slap foreigners in the face.

However, things should continue as they should, and the overall situation should be taken into consideration at this time.

Assistant Wang cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Fox, let's show your Golden Bear now, is that ok?"

"Ah?" Fox suddenly came to his senses. He was already shocked and shocked, and now they want to show our movie? Fuck, this is adding fuel to the fire. No, this is not enough to slap us in the face once, but they want us to slap ourselves in the face too?

Before Fox spoke, Bob got anxious. He stammered, "I don't think it's necessary to show my movie. It's not on the same level as Avatar."

Oh, the Chinese people were all shocked. Did he admit defeat? Did he not even want to show the movie? If they remembered correctly, he had come to try to show his movie first before Avatar was shown?

Suddenly, everyone wanted to laugh out loud, but this was a diplomatic occasion, so they all went to the bathroom to urinate, and then laughed together.

"I originally thought that hosting the exchange group would be a difficult task, but it turned out to be the opposite. Not only did things always turn out in unexpected ways, but I also felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction, hahahaha..."

"I am dying of laughter. I almost couldn't hold it back just now."

No matter how much they laughed in the bathroom, things in the screening room had to go on.

Bob's face turned red. He waited for a long time but no one answered. He looked up and saw Special Assistant Wang looking at him as if he was a fool. When he looked up, his expression became restrained.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bob, we also really want to see the quality of the films produced by the United Nations. After all, only by mutual exchange and learning can we make progress, right? Who knows, in the future, we can even introduce films to each other and contribute to the development of the film industry."

Fox didn't want to say any more. He knew that it was useless to say anything. China was now extremely strong. Just look at it, it would get used to being slapped in the face.

"Okay, let's show it!"

After Fox finished speaking, he slumped in his chair and said, "Destroy it!"

While waiting for the screening, Cliburn and Pollini frequently looked at Cheng Xingyue with admiration.

"It turns out that she is not only good at playing the piano, but also good at making movies. The soundtrack of the film seems to sound like a symphony."

"I can hear that, too. She is simply the favorite of the God of Music. He really favors her too much. Oh, God, I am really jealous of her!"

After the other members of the United Nations exchange group came back to normal after watching the movie, they had different expressions: some were jealous, some were decadent, and some were silent.

At this time, Bob's movie "King Kong Bear" has already started to be shown.

Xiaoyue sat there and watched very seriously. This was her first time watching a foreign movie.

The plot of "King Kong" is a bit old-fashioned, and some parts of the plot are even intermittent and not very coherent, probably because of the length and editing problems. The fighting scenes look good and very exciting, but the special effects are a bit lame. How to say it, it has some prototypes of Hollywood blockbusters in the past, but it is still far from it.

Xiaoyue secretly compared it with "Avatar" in her mind and found it to be a complete winner!

After the movie ended, Xiaoyue said something polite.

"The movie is pretty good, the fighting is exciting, it's a good movie."

For some reason, Fox couldn't laugh after hearing Xiaoyue's comments. The praise was too forced and perfunctory.

Bob wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Assistant Wang saw all of this, tried to suppress his smile, and said: "It's really good. I think China and the United Nations can introduce some excellent film works to each other."

"Well, we can go back and talk in detail."

After seeing off the UN exchange group, the hospital leader laughed and said, "I don't know why, but I feel so comfortable!"

"You are not the only one who feels happy."

Xiaoyue took Ma Li away. She really wanted to go back to the company, but when she found out that the reporters had not left yet, she gave up and went straight home.
