Chapter 381 This moment
Because of the disclosure of identity, Ge You and Lin Zixuan received many invitations to attend cocktail parties of various names.
This period may be the period when the number of drinks held in Xiangjiang is a bit like a carnival and is most popular in the entertainment industry.
Xiangjiang is not only a busy financial city, but also a metropolis with rich and rich lights.
In the eyes of domestic people, this is a corrupt capitalist society, where you are greedy for pleasure and money is paramount.
In fact, the upper class is only greedy for pleasure, and most people in Xiangjiang still have to work honestly and support their families.
Because he was unable to refuse his affection, he and Ge You attended a cocktail party called Return Night. In addition to the people in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, there were also many celebrities and Westerners.
Lin Xiaoling was very interested in the Xiangjiang cocktail party and came here to take a look.
The cocktail party was filled with well-dressed successful people, talking in Cantonese or English.
"This foreign wine is just like that, I can't get used to the taste." Ge You held the wine glass, tasted it, and commented.
"Brother You, does it feel like the TV series in Xiangjiang here? It seems that the director doesn't call for a stop, and these people will continue to act like this." Lin Zixuan joked.
In his opinion, this cocktail party is very Westernized, or false.
It’s better to find a small restaurant and have a good meal. This is the way to become popular in the capital.
It can only be said that the lifestyles of the two cities are different. Lin Zixuan can't stand the pretentiousness of these people. They may not stand the style of Lin Zixuan and think it is a rampant family from the mainland.
Lin Xiaoling took the wine glass and walked around and returned to Lin Zixuan.
"I thought it was so fun, it was so boring. Those women were so pretentious. They even talked in English if they had nothing to do. They bullied me with hearing, right?" Lin Xiaoling complained.
"I'd say I won't let you come. I'm bored. I might as well watch TV in a hotel." Lin Zixuan scolded.
"I'm actually doing a research and want to know what their mentality is now." Lin Xiaoling said seriously, "The return of Xiangjiang to such a big thing will definitely have an impact on all aspects of Xiangjiang. I want to shoot a real Xiangjiang, so I can't just interview ordinary citizens, and these celebrities."
Lin Xiaoling has been mingling with the 20-year-old female tour guide these days, and the two of them have nothing to do and they are wandering around the street with cameras.
Under the banner of a TV reporter, Lin Xiaoling interviewed various characters. She held the camera and asked the little tour guide to pretend to be a reporter. The little tour guide thought it was fun and made a fuss with Lin Xiaoling.
At this time, Xiangjiang reporters gathered, and such street interviews were not uncommon, and no one came to care about them.
Lin Xiaoling wanted to film the local mentality on the eve of Xiangjiang's return. She had made documentaries before and thought that this entry point was good. In this context, everyone would definitely be touched.
Among the people she interviewed, most of them were full of confidence in the future, while others felt that it didn’t matter, they all wanted to live anyway.
Lin Zixuan did not stop Lin Xiaoling. For the director, this was equivalent to collecting materials, and perhaps one day in the future, it would be transformed into a movie.
At the cocktail party, Lin Zixuan didn’t find anything, but he also met some people, but they were all ordinary friends.
For example, a Western woman named Barbara Robinson, who used to work in a film company in Xiangjiang, and it was this company that invested in Zhang Yimou's life.
This woman has a rich experience. She taught at a university in Beijing in 1984, then went to Baodao, and then went to Xiangjiang to join the International Film Company, becoming the vice president of production licensing.
She is behind many films of major directors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the Three Lands, and she is a very experienced international filmmaker.
She met Ge You and was surprised to see Ge You. Everyone chatted for a few words. She was very interested in mainland film directors and actors.
These people are good at packaging movies and then pushing them to the international market. Domestic movies want to go to the world will inevitably deal with them. After all, they are more familiar with the rules of Western society.
Lin Zixuan also met the famous comedian Zhou Xingchi in Xiangjiang, who created a comedy movie called nonsense.
This kind of comedy is known for its extreme exaggeration and funnyness, and is very popular with the audience. It has won the box office championship in Hong Kong many times.
If Ge You is a representative of mainland comedians, then Zhou Xingchi is a representative of Hong Kong comedy. Although they are both good at playing sad stories about small characters, their performance styles are completely different.
Zhou Xingji is not very good at communicating, so everyone separated after a few greetings.
After the boring cocktail party, they returned to the hotel.
The weather in Xiangjiang is extremely changeable. It is unbearable for humidity and heat on sunny days, and thunder and lightning on rainy days.
As the end of June approaches, the weather forecast says it will rain in the next few days. Lin Zixuan and his group originally wanted to watch the handover ceremony and flag-raising on site, but now it seems that they can only watch TV in the hotel.
Lin Boqing was quite regretful. He finally came to Xiangjiang for a while. For their generation, national honor was higher than anything else.
In the early morning of June 30, Lin Zixuan sent Mu Shanshan to the headquarters of Phoenix TV.
The sixty-hour uninterrupted live broadcast is about to begin. In the next three days, Mu Shanshan will have very little rest time and will be in a tense working state.
All Lin Zixuan can do is to provide as convenient as possible.
"If it rains, don't go to the scene. There are too many people, don't squeeze them." Mu Shanshan reminded.
It started to rain on the way back, and it didn't matter to the anchors in the studio. It was hard for the reporters who were running outside. They had to interview in the rain with dozens of kilograms of camera equipment on their backs.
In many return activities, security checks require reporters to arrive at the venue at least two hours in advance, and in some cases, they require five or six hours in advance.
The reporter was encircled in a fixed place and was not allowed to walk around casually. It was inconvenient to even go to the toilet. Sometimes, the photographer had to stand for several hours and had no need to drink water.
This shows how hard these journalists work.
In the hotel, everyone sat together and watched TV reports.
From morning to night, and then to night, the news reports are reporting on various activities of return at all times.
Especially after 8 o'clock in the evening, the highlight began. No one wanted to leave the TV series, and everyone was nervously waiting for the arrival of that moment.
At midnight, the flag-protecting bearers from both sides entered the venue, symbolizing the handover of the Xiangjiang regime of the two governments, and the flag-raising ceremony began.
All the guests who attended the ceremony stood up, and the audience's eyes focused on the flagpoles erected on the east and west sides of the rostrum in front of the rostrum.
First, the British flag was lowered. At about 0:00 on July 1st, the majestic national anthem was played, and the national flag and the special administrative region flag slowly rose under the gaze of the public.
Thunderous applause rang out from the audience, and the news scene kept replaying this clip.
Phoenix TV, Mu Shanshan is giving a commentary, her tone is very excited, this is a historic moment. It will not be continued
