A car was driving from the airport, driven by a company driver arranged by Zhang Tan, to take these people directly to Little Red Horse Academy.
There were a total of five people in this group, three men and two women, all foreigners. After getting on the bus, they said thank you to the driver in broken Chinese, and then communicated in English.
[In order to make it easier for everyone to understand, I will directly translate it into Chinese for you]
The five of them looked at the scenery of the Pujiang River through the car window.
The leader was a middle-aged woman named Lucy. She looked at the viaduct outside the car window and asked, "Have any of you been to Pujiang before?"
"This is my first time in China." Someone responded.
"It's my first time too," another woman said.
"I've been to BJ before, but this is my first time in Pujiang." This is a man with slightly darker skin, probably a mixed race, named Hassan.
…
Several people talked about it, ranging from the scenery of the Pujiang River to the purpose of the trip. The most discussed ones were the award-winning work "The Other Shoe" and the more interesting creative team.
The mixed-race young man Hassan said: "I still can't believe that the main creative team will be a group of seven or eight-year-old little girls, and there is a three-and-a-half-year-old among them. Oh my God, this is crazy. In fact, there is no need to do this.
After one visit, I can conclude that they must have had help from adults, or even that they just signed their names, which is not uncommon."
Another female colleague said: "Hassan, don't say that. This work was recommended by Little Red Horse Films for review. They know the risks involved. Are they willing to bet on the company's reputation?"
Hassan shrugged and said, "Who knows?"
Lucy, who was leading the team, said to him seriously: "That's the end of this topic. I don't want to hear you mention it again."
The whole journey was silent, and we soon arrived at Little Red Horse Academy.
The car stopped at the entrance of the academy. As soon as the group got off the car, they saw two rows of little girls standing on both sides of the door, applauding them and shouting something.
“Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!!!!”
The honor guard organized by Xiaobai is warmly welcoming the arrival of Lucy and others, with bright smiles on their faces, making people feel at home.
Seeing such a group of cute and beautiful girls would put anyone in a good mood.
Lucy and others all smiled and waved to thank them.
Zhang Tan stepped forward to welcome them, shook hands with Lucy, and introduced himself in English.
Only then did Lucy and others realize that he was Zhang Tan, the producer of the "The Matrix" series of movies.
She introduced her team members to Zhang Tan and others. After that, Zhang Tan also introduced Xiaobai and others to them.
"This is Xiaobai, my daughter and the director of "The Other Shoe"."
Xiaobai nodded towards them, maintaining the dignity of the director.
Before that, she specifically asked the old man for advice on how to prevent these crooks from underestimating her as a director.
Her old man said just be yourself.
But Xiaobai feels that he should act like an adult, and in the case of Liuliu, he should be steady.
So she tried her best to look very steady, put on airs, spoke slowly, and acted slowly, imitating the steady and steady Lao Li.
Xiwa acted as a part-time translator and played a polishing role.
After Zhang Tan introduced Xiao Bai, she also added: "Bai who is lost in Lisi."
Everyone looked at her strangely.
Zhang Tan took the opportunity to introduce Xi'er to everyone, and Xi'er then introduced herself.
"Hey, lost joy."
"Lost joy?" Lucy asked, holding back a smile.
Xi'er nodded: "Yes~You Alette."
She took the initiative to introduce Liuliu and Dudu, saying that they were the lost Liuliu and the lost Dudu respectively.
Only then did Lucy and others realize that these little girls were the main creative staff of the shortlisted work "The Other Shoe".
Although I knew beforehand that they were a group of very young girls, when I actually met them, I was still amazed.
In particular, there is a little carrot head among them. He is very small standing in front of him, and he is also one of the main creative staff.
Seeing a big black man staring at her, Robin bared his teeth and smiled with a friendly smile. He introduced himself confidently and said, "My name is Robin."
"Robin?"
"Yes~"
Robin was overjoyed and proudly showed off: "Look, little aunt, this big black man understood what I said. I said my name was Robin, and he understood."
Lao Li was not far away, watching them with great interest as they interacted with Wai Guo Ren. If he were one of these Wai Guo Ren, he would be a little crazy.
.
Fortunately, the introduction session was finally over, and Zhang Tan took them to his office on the third floor of Building 2. This used to be Zhang Tan's office, and it still remains today. It is where he usually receives guests and sometimes does work matters.
If you want to take it home and process it, it will be here.
Tan Jin'er was already there and prepared tea and fruits for them in advance.
She stayed and prepared to act as an interpreter.
Although there are enough translators on site, there are not many that can be used. Except for Zhang Tan, the others are unreliable.
"Lost Zhang, first of all, congratulations. Your movie "The Matrix" is taking the world by storm. It's really amazing." Lucy was the first to compliment.
These words are all true. "The Matrix" has refreshed the world view of foreigners, showing them a brand new world.
It was obvious that Lucy was truly impressed.
For filmmakers, "The Matrix" is an epoch-making work. They have done special research and concluded that this is a work of genius.
It's a pity that "The Matrix" did not participate in the selection of this Golden Bear Award, otherwise it would definitely be the favorite to win.
Another purpose of Lucy's trip was to invite Zhang Tan to participate in the next Golden Bear Awards with "The Matrix".
Although it is a bit late, they are still looking forward to bringing more attention to the Golden Bear Award.
Zhang Tan thanked her for her kindness and praised the Golden Bear Award as one of the most influential film awards in the world, but he did not give a positive reply.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He has not thought clearly and is not suitable for making hasty decisions.
Then the topic naturally turned to the short film "The Other Shoe".
This time Lucy and others came mainly to shoot the award-winning VCR for the creative staff.
But this is just an excuse on the surface. In fact, it is to confirm whether the main creative staff of "The Other Shoe" are really Xiaobai and the others.
Because it is too shocking for a seven or eight-year-old girl to shoot such a short film. Not only will they be suspicious, but so will the judges.
So it must be confirmed in person.
Zhang Tan quickly understood what they meant and introduced the situation to them seriously.
"Lost Zhang, you are a senior filmmaker and have created works such as "The Matrix". We admire it very much, but if you directed too much on "The Other Shoe", then it should be regarded as your work."
Hassan said.
Zhang sighed: "I understand, but in fact, I participated very little. I just played one of the roles."
Hassan shrugged and said directly: "I mean, it might be better to have your name on the script."
Before Zhang Tan spoke, Lucy was already unhappy. She glared at Hassan and scolded: "Hassan! You don't need to speak here. What you said, the lost Zhang knows better than you."
Hassan shrugged and said nothing.
Liuliu asked Xiwa in a low voice: "What are these foreigners talking about? They are chattering. They seem to be quarreling. Are they swearing?"
Xiaobai pricked up his ears and asked, "Are you swearing?"
Xiao Xiaobai also came over and asked: "Who is cursing?"
Dudu looked serious: "Why do they curse?"
Xiaomi: "A little angry."
Cheng Cheng: "..."
Everyone is asking about Xi'er.
The time has come to test Xi'er to see if she has the real stuff.
If she is just faking it and translating randomly, then this meeting may turn into a diplomatic accident. The children will not be used to these crooks. If someone dares to curse in front of them, they will definitely yell back!
Fortunately, Xiwawa understood. She shook her head and assured her girlfriends that the crooked nuts were not scolding them.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Liuliu said: "We are foreign friends."
But in the next sentence, Xi'er said: "They said Cheng Cheng's script was copied."
"What?!" Luoliu's face suddenly changed, filled with indignation: "These foreign gangsters!"
Even the good-tempered Cheng Cheng was unhappy and kept a straight face.
"It's too much, it's too much!" Xiao Xiaobai was also angry.
Xiaobai said to her old man: "Old man, what do you think?"
Zhang Tan signaled them to be calm and calm.
Tan Jin'er is comforting them.
Zhang Tan glanced at Hassan and said to Lucy: "I understood what he meant. To be honest, I did not write the script. I did not participate in any creation of this work. The script was actually written by this person."
Written by kid Meng Chengcheng."
He pointed at Cheng Cheng.
Tan Jin'er whispered to the children and translated on the spot. Robin, who was sitting next to Cheng Cheng, understood. She immediately sat upright with a look of pride on her face, thinking she was praising her.
Lucy and others looked at Cheng Cheng and were all surprised. The screenwriter of "The Other Shoe" was this little girl?
Robin collapsed instantly. It turned out that he was not praising himself.
At this time, Zhang Tan pointed at her, and Xiaobai poked her, reminding her: "Robin, I'm talking about you."
Robin sat up straight in an instant, his face shining brightly.
Although she couldn't understand what her uncle was saying, she believed that her uncle was praising her.
What Zhang Tan said in English was: "Actually, this story really happened, it was this little girl..."
He told the story about Xiao Xiaobai losing his shoes, and the eyes of the crooked nuts looked at Xiao Bai suddenly changed.
In their eyes, little white has wings on his back and a halo on his head, and has been promoted to a little angel.
Xiao Xiaobai listened to Tan Jin'er's translation and said happily: "Yes, I lost the child! That is my child!"
