Rebirth of India: Superior

Bhatt expressed understanding of Tony's explanation, but he proposed that he could only pay half of the deposit before verifying that the production method was completely correct, and he would deliver the remaining half after a month. Tony also agreed, Originally, Pfizer did this just to vent its anger, and making money was secondary. `

So, at the hotel in the evening, a strange American young man brought an information bag and made a deal with Bhatt. After receiving the information, Bhatt immediately returned to New Delhi to conduct experiments. (This is a foreshadowing that will be used to cause conflict later.)

While Bhatt was secretly targeting Shakru, Shakru was in Haryana to attend the 1992 Indian International Film Festival celebration banquet. Although the Indian International Film Festival is one of the earliest A-class international film festivals in Asia, it still adheres to India's usual quirky style. It is only held in New Delhi in odd years, and it is a competition in nature for judging and awarding; but In even-numbered years, there will be no competitions or awards, and they will not be held in New Delhi, but will be held in turns in various states in India.

This year is 1992, an even year, so there will be no awards for this year's film festival. But even so, those who can get invitations to the celebration banquet are all influential figures in the Indian film industry. You must know that India can produce several movies a year. Hundreds of movies, ranking first in the world in terms of number, even Hollywood can't compare with him. `(According to information, in 2006, Indian Bollywood produced 1091 feature-length films, ranking first in the world, while the United States ranked third with only 485 films. No one would have guessed that the second-ranked film was Nigeria. Known as Nollywood, 872 films were produced there)

From this you can imagine how many filmmakers there are in India, and no matter how large a banquet is, you cannot invite too many people, so the invitation letter to this banquet can show how successful a filmmaker has been in the past year. . In fact, if it weren't for the fact that his "Bandit Queen" was one of the few films to win international honors in recent years, Shakru would never have been able to get this invitation as a newcomer in the film industry, so Shakru was very I was so happy that I brought Rajkumar to attend.

Although Shakroor has just entered the film industry and has relatively little experience, he attracted much attention at this banquet. The first reason is that his film "Bandit Queen" was both well-received and a hit, made money and was shortlisted for international awards. , it can be said to be a double harvest, which will naturally attract everyone's attention.

On the other hand, it is because he is an investor in this film. Before 2,000 years ago, funding for Indian films often came from pedestrians or a few large film companies. ‘Banks in India have been prohibited from providing loans for film productions, and some of the funds for film productions have even been raised from illegal sources. Mumbai's gangsters have produced movies, financed stars and used force to win contracts. In January 2000, gangsters in Mumbai shot rakeshroshan because he refused to allow gangsters to participate in his film production. (Roshan is a film director and the father of movie star Thikroshan.) In 2001, India's police agency, the Central Bureau of Investigation (vestigation), discovered that the film Cho Ri Cho Ri Chupke Chupke was financed by members of the underworld Mumbai Underworld (Mumbai Underor1d). And all the film footage of the movie was confiscated.

In this case, a wholly-owned investor like Shakru will naturally be welcomed by all filmmakers. After all, without funds, no film can be made, so Shakru is surrounded by a lot of directors. and actors, while Rajkumar, who was on the periphery, was once again grateful for his wise decision back then. Otherwise, he would not have even had a chance to get into the circle of currying favor with his boss.

Shakru, who was already annoyed by these people, was just about to find an excuse to go out for a walk and take a breath, but suddenly he saw a girl outside the circle who looked very familiar, so he took a few steps forward. , asked: "This beautiful lady, I seem to have seen you somewhere?"

Although Shakru's pick-up method was extremely old-fashioned, the girl was obviously still a little shy and nervous. Fortunately, the person next to her immediately answered for her: "Hello Mr. Pandit, this is Miss Aishwarya Rai. She is a newcomer that our vivandiva company has recently promoted, and she is the one who made the Sari commercials that are being broadcast on various channels recently.”

This company is a long-established model agency in India. It is very large. Many movies will look here when choosing actresses, so it is not surprising to appear at today's banquet, but this girl's name is completely shocking. Shakru, if we talk about Indian men If Aamir Khan is the most famous star, then the most famous actress must be Aishwarya Rai. If I remember correctly, in 1994, she won the world Miss Champion, and is known as "the most beautiful woman in India"!

But at this time, Aishwarya was obviously just debuting, and did not have the goddess style that shone across the country in her previous life, so Shakru felt familiar for a moment, but did not recognize it, but now that she knows it is The future most beautiful woman in India, of course, he couldn’t let her go now, so he said with great enthusiasm: “Oh, why does it look so familiar to me? It turns out she is a beautiful woman I see on TV every day! "

Before Aishwarya could answer, her agent said: "It's rare that Mr. Pandit has such a good impression of Aishwarya. I wonder if you can reserve a role for Aishwarya in your next new play?"

Shakru was worried that he had no suitable excuse to keep Aishwarya. When he heard what his agent said, he immediately said happily: "Of course, but because the theme of this movie is quite special and the main actors are relatively old, we can only give Miss Lei a role that is not too important. But if the cooperation is good and Miss Lei's acting skills can be honed, I have a new play that is being perfected and is very suitable for Miss Lei."

"Mr. Pandit, I wonder what the theme of this new script you are talking about is?" Aishwarya finally calmed down and asked openly without being shy.

"Well, it's a film about love and humanity during the period of India-Pakistan partition." Shakru was not talking nonsense. He had already decided to make this film when he met Amisha Patera. Although he had only seen this one film of Amisha, it left a deep impression on him because there are very few films of this theme in both India and Pakistan, especially such a realistic shooting method, which is extremely rare. xh:2182o413
