Chapter 814 First visit to the White House

This little joke made by Chen Kangjie was just an episode during the filming. After getting along with Chen Kangjie, everyone felt that he was a very kind and friendly person, so no one really planned to betray him. Besides, they signed a non-disclosure agreement. If you leak relevant information about Chen Kangjie casually, you will face a maximum of 1000 million US dollars in compensation, which was planned by Miramax long ago.What's more, for them, the maneuverability is not very big, some things don't need to be said by them, and those gossip reporters will make up things randomly.

The filming of the film is very hard work. He has to work day and night every day. He doesn't have much time to train his body. Fortunately, he does this to have more time later.

Among all the scenes, for Chen Kangjie, the most difficult thing was Forrest Gump's speech at the entrance of the Lincoln Memorial. This was in an open field of vision, with a large number of people and sensitive Washington DC. The organization and command work was very difficult. , This difficulty is even greater than Forrest Gump being awarded the Congressional Medal in the White House.

The scene where Forrest Gump was awarded the Medal of Congress in the White House was shot in real scene in the White House, and there was an award ceremony where a sergeant named Sammy Davis was actually commended.

At the beginning, the film crew submitted the application to use the White House to shoot this movie to the White House Office, thinking that it would be rejected. The set designer Cindy was ready to spend 200 million US dollars to build a simulated interior scene, but who knew they were actually approved.

Chen Kangjie thought he would be rejected, that was the last time he rejected President KLD's invitation, thinking that he would retaliate, but never thought that not only was he accepted, when the crew knew that Sergeant Semil Davis would really be awarded the Congressional Medal At that time, he proposed to go in and shoot at that time, and such a request was actually granted.

In fact, there would have been no response to their already trashed applications had it not been for Chief of Staff Stilwell's intervention.

That day, Wallace, the deputy director of the general office, received the application. When he saw that the company was Miramax, he didn't like it very much. When he saw that the director was Chen Kangjie, he changed hands and threw the application form into the trash. box.Thinking of the last time he called to invite Chen Kangjie to come to the White House as a guest, Chen Kangjie actually refused, which made him feel depressed for several days because he couldn't please the president.

But at that moment, Stilwell walked into his office, picked up the application form from the trash can, and read the general content.

"Wallace, why did you throw it away? Isn't this what we need? Even if you don't accept it, you should ask the staff to write back." Stilwell said in a somewhat critical tone.

Stilwell is not entirely Wallace’s superior, but only half of his superior. They are all senior officials of the White House, with different divisions of labor. Their positions are all appointed by the president, but Stilwell, as the director, is in charge of the Some general direction and more important work.

"If you don't throw it away, why keep it? He didn't come when he was invited last time, so why give him convenience?" Wallace picked up another document from his desk and stood up and said unhappily.

"This moment and that moment, not to mention, it's just that I was rejected on the phone, and it's not like I haven't been rejected before. What's the big deal?" Stilwell flicked the application form on his hand with ease.

Not all invitations from the White House were accepted, and there were occasional rejections. Of course, Stilwell himself never encountered one. After kld came to power, he was rejected twice, once by Chen Kangjie, and once when he invited a social activist to discuss the issue of corruption. He was also rejected. Unfortunately, Wallace met him both times.

"You...Mr. Stilwell, if you like it, then you can deal with it!" Wallace was a little annoyed, but after all, he was only a deputy, left a word, and walked out with the documents.

Seeing Wallace with a messy pace, Stilwell smiled and thought, this is why you can only be a deputy. For a person like you, how could the president entrust you with important affairs? If it wasn't for campaigning for fundraising When you got a lot of money, how could this position be given to you.

Stilwell's attitude in handling this matter was completely different. He opened the door to convenience, and even the president awarded a medal to Sergeant Semil Davis and allowed the crew to come to film.

The reason why Stilwell did this was because he knew something about Chen Kangjie, and the President was very interested in him, so he persuaded the President to cooperate without any effort.

On the morning of September 9, Chen Kangjie stepped into the gate of the White House for the first time, and was personally received by Chief of Staff Stilwell.

Located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the center of downtown Washington, USA, this small white two-story building borders Lafayette Square in the north, Alice Park in the south, and faces the towering Washington Monument.It is considered to be the most powerful place in the world, and at the same time, this building may also be one of the most famous buildings in the world, appearing in news from all over the world almost every day.

Before coming in, this place was always full of mystery to Chen Kangjie. Because of his rights, he felt that it was sacred, solemn, full of secrets and desires, but after he came in, he felt that it was nothing more than that, it was just a comparison. It's just a big villa, nothing too special.

"Including the Rose Garden and Jacqueline Garden, it covers an area of ​​7.3 square meters and a construction area of ​​5100 square meters. This main building was designed by a young man named James Hoben. It was a gray building when it was built in 1792. Since 1800, it has been the place where the president of the United States worked and lived with his family during his tenure.” Stilwell accompanied Chen Kangjie as he walked, while explaining the situation of the White House to him.

"It's a sandstone building, but why is it white?" Chen Kangjie asked.

"Hehe, in the second American-British war that took place in 1812, the British army invaded Washington. On August 1814, 8, the British army burned down the building, leaving only a pair of empty shelves. When it was restored in 24 In order to cover up the traces of the fire, President Monroe ordered a layer of white paint to be painted on the gray sandstone. Since then, this presidential residence has been called the "White House". In 1817, US President Theodore Roosevelt officially put it Named the "White House" and later became synonymous with the American government, please!" When they arrived at the main entrance of the main building, Stilwell led Chen Kangjie in.

"Thank you, please!".

"The first floor here is the state floor (state floor). There are five main rooms from there. From west to east, they are: State Banquet Room, Red Room, Blue Room, Green Room and East Room." After entering the main building Stilwell continued to introduce.

"We often see Mr. President receiving foreign heads of state on TV. Is that place also on this floor?" Chen Kangjie was still very curious.

"That's on the ground floor. You're talking about the diplomatic reception hall. There's also a library, a map room, a porcelain room, a gold and silverware room, and the White House administrator's office on the ground floor. We work on the ground floor, and then go up to the state floor. The second floor is The place where the president and his family live and rest is also used to entertain important guests. Mr. President is waiting for you in the yellow oval hall above, please clear up." Stilwell is really a very good receptionist. When asked by Chen Kangjie, he They all answered enthusiastically and in detail, which left a good impression on Chen Kangjie.

There were only two people who accompanied Chen Kangjie into the White House. One was Jon Gordon, the president of Miramax, and the other was Xiong Ziqiang. Xiong Ziqiang's identity at this time was Chen Kangjie's personal assistant. Of course, he was not allowed to wear it. As with any weapon, in the White House, security concerns are unquestionable.

Today, Chen Kangjie came to pay a visit to President KLD in advance, and the filming will officially start tomorrow. Last time, Chen Kangjie promised that he would come and visit Mr. President on the phone. Now is the most suitable time.

"Okay, thank you", Chen Kangjie was very polite.

It is not only President KLD who is waiting for Chen Kangjie in the yellow oval hall, but also his wife XLL and daughter Michelle.

"Long, hello, you are finally here. Welcome to the White House as a guest." After Stilwell took the lead and pushed the door in, without any introduction, President KLD showed his charming side and reached out his hand to greet Chen Kangjie .

"Thank you, thank you Your Excellency the President. I am really honored. I was supposed to come last time, but it was delayed due to certain things. I am really sorry." Chen Kangjie shook Kld's hand and bowed to salute.

"Hehe, it's understandable, you are also a busy person, come on, let me introduce you, this is..." Before kld finished speaking, Chen Kangjie took the initiative to greet his family members.

"Hello, Ms. xll, hello, Miss Michelle".

"Long, you are welcome, we all like you very much," the President's wife responded dignifiedly.

"Long, hello, hello, I finally met you in person. I am your loyal fan. I like you so much. Can I take a photo with you later?" Michelle, who is about the same age as Chen Kangjie, is not so A good Chengfu is completely a normal performance of a fan seeing an idol.

"It's not just you, we are too," said kld, who briefly shook hands with Jon Gordon and Xiong Ziqiang, and said.

"Of course, it's my honor. As far as I know, Mr. President is also an excellent musician," Chen Kangjie complimented.

"He's not a musician, he just likes to play the saxophone," xll laughed and teased her husband.

Chen Kangjie is also very interested in the president's wife.Later, she and her husband were hailed as the most powerful couple in the United States, and they were also the only couple in history who were nominated for the party's presidential election. Although they lost to the first black president, they also served as the secretary of state. Oversees U.S. foreign policy and policy.

"I'm not a musician, but I was also the chief saxophone player of the Arkansas Wind Band." Like many men, kld also quarrels with his wife, and it is also a way to show his strength.

"Long, please sit down, you can sit down as you please, he is very proud of his saxophone performance, hehe, maybe he is more proud than him being the president", as the host, xll first entertained Chen Kangjie and the others to sit down, and then responded to her husband if.

From Xll's words, Chen Kangjie vaguely touched her desire for power, because in her opinion, the president is much more important than music.
