I have to teach the world a lesson.

Chapter 242 The stench of capital!
Dursley Tratter Hotel.

Avery Tashi was smoking and chatting about movies.

He appreciates this junior very much.

This is a younger generation who is unique, talented, and more daring to challenge traditional film shooting methods.

He took him to meet many friends in Berlin, judges, and chatted with many filmmakers about the copyright of "The Dog Over the Mountain".

But, unfortunately, the market feedback of "The Dog Over the Mountain" is not good.

Except that the first week was full due to the heat, the attendance rate became lower and lower, and finally it was on the verge of being sold out.

In the entire [Berlin International Film Festival], its total box office is ranked at the bottom.

This is a disappointing and cruel reality.

But it's normal.

most of the time……

Some maverick art is not accepted by the public.

Unless it is true love, or some kind of spiritual eccentricity, or the psychology of hunting for novelty.

Otherwise, not many people are willing to look at this boring Chinese countryside from the perspective of a dog.

"An artist is always alone, and we cannot deny its value because of the market... Five years, ten years, perhaps, someone will really realize the brilliance of this movie..."

Through the windows of the Dursley Tratter Hotel, you can see the noisy venue of the [Berlin International Film Festival] in the distance.

The dense crowd of pedestrians surged below like ants.

It's the loneliness of standing on a high ground.

Bi Feiyu was not disappointed with the feedback of the movie "The Dog Over the Mountain".

It can be shortlisted in Berlin, can be exhibited, and known, recognized by countless people, and paid back...

Everything is like a dream.

But this dream is almost over.

One cannot always indulge in past glories or failures...

Always take a step toward him.

He looked at the script of "Seven Days to Kill" in his hand, thinking about what to say.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Bi Feiyu stood up and opened the door.

He saw Elaine appearing at the door with a beautiful gift.

Behind him stood Zhang Sheng smiling and nodding at him.

He quickly welcomed the two of them in.

Originally, I wanted to introduce Zhang Sheng to Avery Tashi first, but I didn't expect Elaine to walk towards Avery Tashi with a gift.

Avery Tashi stubbed out the cigarette and looked at the little girl with astonished eyes.

"Mr. Avery Tashi, hello! My name is Yi Lian, and I am the person in charge of [Sailu] Cinema. Thank you very much for helping us [Sailu] when we needed help the most... ..." Looking at Avery Tashi, Elaine seemed to muster up her courage and said these words in an excited voice.

Avery Tashi stood up and stretched out his hand with a serious expression: "Hi, Miss Elaine, nice to meet you."

Outside the window, there is warm sunlight.

In the sunlight, Avery Tashi shook hands with Elaine.

【Cailu】Cinema.

A very old noun.

That was the day Avery Tashi's first film, The Tea Picker, was released.

That year, the entrance of the [Sailu] Cinema was bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun.

In the afterglow, the ever-flowing streets were crowded with people, amidst the fragrance of flowers, the applause sounded like thunder.

The young Avery Tashi walked into [Cailu] and walked towards his dream...

After many years...

That memory still seems clear.

That was one of Avery Tashi's fondest memories.

The brilliance of "The Tea Picker Girl" brought Avery Tashi to the top and enjoyed numerous international praises.

but……

【Sailu】has gradually declined.

The next year, Avery Tashi heard the news that the movie theater had been sold.

He was puzzled for a moment, but the busy work didn't make him less touched.

Later, there was less and less news about it, so little that Avery Tashi could only remember it, and occasionally thought of the premiere, but he just couldn't remember the name of that movie theater.

If Bi Feiyu hadn't asked him a few days ago if he could find a cinema in France that was about to close down...

He suddenly thought of 【Seru】.

in the room.

Seeing Elaine's appearance, Avery Tashi laughed: "I'm glad to hear that you [Sailu] are still alive and will soon be reborn. Sit down."

Elaine nodded and followed Zhang Sheng to sit opposite Avery Tashi.

Avery Tashi looked at Elaine, and inevitably asked about [Sailu]'s situation in these years.

From Elaine's very deep voice, he heard the follow-up story of 【Seru】.

The gambling-addicted grandfather, the decadent father who worked hard but couldn't support [Sailu], witnessed the closing of the house, the helpless but unwilling Elaine...

Avery Tashi listened patiently.

Memories of the past emerged in his mind one after another. He had witnessed the short-term prosperity of [Sailu], and also seen their loneliness.

To this day, he still has the innocent and sincere smile of the first boss of [Sailu] in his mind, and he can vaguely see some outlines on Yi Lian's face.

Looking at Elaine, Avery Tashi admired her in his heart.

He could feel the little girl's unwillingness and stubbornness.

But the story about [Seru] is not all gray.

Yi Lian also talked about the recent situation of "Sailu", talked about the "That Summer", and talked about her trip to China, and met some like-minded people.

Elaine's voice was genuine and full of emotion.

Avery Tashi nodded: "[Sailu] can survive, it will become more brilliant in your hands..."

"Mr. Avery Tashi, here, I would like to thank you again. If it weren't for the opportunity you gave, [Sailu] would not be able to be reborn. In order to express my gratitude, I specially prepared a gift for you. ..."

Elaine held the exquisite gift in both hands, and handed it to Avery Tashi.

Avery Tashi took a look at the heavy gift.

That appears to be a custom phone.

The cover of the gift is a still photo of his movie "The Tea Picker Girl".

He subconsciously opened the box, and he saw an old photo.

That was the photo of "The Tea Picker Girl" just released, and he took a photo with the boss of [Sailu]...

Looking at this photo, for some reason, his heart trembled slightly.

More memories emerge...

At this moment, he seems to have returned to the late summer decades ago, the young man with a dream, the smiling boss.

He carefully took out the photo, the yellowed photo actually made his eyes slightly moist.

Seeing this picture, Yi Lian was also taken aback, she looked at Zhang Sheng.

Where did he get this photo?

Facing Elaine's gaze, Zhang Sheng just smiled.

These days……

Li Bin and others were renovating [Sailu], and then found an old box, and there were some photos in that old box. According to Yi Lian's mother, they knew that it was the photo of "The Tea Picker Girl" when it was released.

He suddenly felt that he could use these photos to do something.

"Mr. Avery Tashi, I hope that we [Sailu] can continue to maintain friendship and cooperation with you starting from my generation..." Elaine's voice sounded.

Avery Tashi was shocked when he heard the voice, and then looked up at Elaine.

Elaine looked serious.

He nodded.

Nostalgic, touched, excited...

The complex emotions were intertwined, and he was speechless for a moment.

After a short silence, he looked at Zhang Sheng.

This Chinese man who came in with Elaine.

"Mr. Avery Tashi, this is Mr. Zhang Sheng, he is my Bole, the person I have repeatedly mentioned to you and highly respected..."

Bi Feiyu came to his senses and quickly introduced Zhang Sheng.

"Hello there!"

"Mr. Avery Tashi, hello!"

"Mr. Zhang Sheng, if I'm not mistaken, you are the mastermind behind the [Southern California International Film Awards]?"

"Yes."

Zhang Sheng stretched out his hand and smiled.

Avery Tashi looked at Zhang Sheng, but nodded silently, without shaking hands with Zhang Sheng.

Perhaps it was because he was forcibly "invited" to be a judge at the [Southern California International Film Awards], and because the [Southern California International Film Awards] did really badly, so he didn't have any respect for Zhang Sheng, the mastermind behind the scenes. any favors.

Think it's a scam.

"Mr. Avery Tashi, you seem to have a grudge against me?" Zhang Sheng withdrew his hand, not feeling embarrassed, but kept smiling.

"Sorry, I feel a stench of capital on you..."

"Mr. Avery Tashi, I really want to agree with you, and I also feel that I have a stench of capital, so I feel very uneasy about seeing you this time..."

Avery Tashi is very abrupt.

Bi Feiyu felt harsh for a while.

But Zhang Sheng always smiled calmly, nodded neither humble nor overbearing, maintaining a gentleman's demeanor.

Zhang Sheng's words really sounded very comfortable, especially the sincerity in his eyes, which made Avery Tashi at a loss for a moment.

"Mr. Avery Tashi, I'm sorry, [Southern California International Film Awards] gave you a not-so-good memory, but for me, it is an honor and a turning point of fate... "

"..."

"Many years ago... I have always loved movies very much. I also thought that one day, I could become an actor or a director. This is my dream..."

"..."

"However, not everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. I was born in a poor family. I have never seen a piano or a guitar. Except for black and white TV, I seldom even watch a complete movie. movie of……"

"..."

"Later, when I was in junior high school, I saw the guitar, the piano, and an amazing movie. From that moment on, I saw the desire for art in my heart..."

"..."

"I once imagined that one day I could stand on the stage and attract the attention of everyone. I have also worked hard to write scripts and novels. I have never given up on my dreams, and I once felt that my life is just for dreams. born of..."

"..."

"However, people have to eat after all. In this world, I have no parents, no relatives to rely on..."

"..."

"I have to live, I did some opportunistic things, I made some money, I started to smell a little bit of capital..."
