We, the 6.4 million people in the city, are determined to be a good host and warmly welcome friends from home and abroad to Changchun to attend the film festival, participate in economic and trade activities, and travel to Changchun! "

This kind of standard Chinese officialdom cliché confused all the foreign filmmakers who came to participate in the competition. However, Shakru listened very enthusiastically. It was not that he was so perverted that he liked to hear this kind of cliché, but that he had not heard it for a long time. I have heard such a language with Chinese characteristics, so I feel very warm.

According to the procedure, the opening ceremony should be followed by cultural performances, but just as Shaklu watched the long-legged girls from Changchun Art Institute dancing with great interest, a staff member suddenly came over and said to him in a deep voice: "Mr. Pandit, please come with me, there is a chief who wants to see you!"

Chief? This title obviously refers to a big shot in the military, but the problem is that he doesn't even know the top brass of the Indian military, let alone the chief of China, so Shakru asked doubtfully: "Um. This gentleman, Are you mistaken? I don’t seem to know the leader.”

"You are the Indian guest here this time. So there should be no mistake. Mr. Pandit, please come with me!" the staff explained.

Although he was full of doubts, Shakru was confident that he had never done anything to disgrace the Chinese government, so he said calmly: "Okay then, I will go with you."

Along the way, Shakru became more and more frightened. It was obvious that the chief who wanted to see him should be of a very high level. Because there are many sentries and tight security along the way, and the decoration of the office building looks high-grade, it is definitely not a place where a regiment commander or battalion commander can stay.

Just as Shakru was thinking about it, the staff reminded him that he had arrived. But as soon as he opened the office door, Shakru was stunned. He saw a tall young man walking over and greeting enthusiastically: "Lao Sha, I didn't expect that we would meet again!"

This young man was none other than Liu Zian, a friend from the Northeast whom Shakru met at the Khajuraho Sex Temple. Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Shaklu asked in shock: "Old Liu, you don't want to see my leader, right?!"

Liu Zian explained: "I used my father's name in vain, just to scare you. What, I didn't expect it!"

Although Shakru knew as early as in India that Liu Zian was definitely not an ordinary person, because in 1991, there were absolutely few young people in China who could leave at will and go abroad as soon as they left, let alone this guy with a loud voice It seems that the Chinese Embassy in New Delhi is like their express company, so Shaklu originally thought that he was some second-generation official. Unexpectedly, this guy was more powerful than he thought. It’s actually one!

So he asked curiously: "Old Liu, who is your father?"

"What kind of chief? He's just a deputy commander of a military region. By the way, Lao Sha, do you know how I knew you were here?"

Seeing that Liu Zian didn't want to elaborate on his father's identity, Shaklu stopped asking. Anyway, there were only a few deputy commanders of the military region. He couldn't always find out if he wanted to check, so there was no need to embarrass Liu Zian now, so Shakru followed his topic and asked, "Yes, Lao Liu, how did you know I was here?"

"This is a coincidence. Originally, I wanted to go to the film festival to see the excitement, but I actually saw an Indian movie at the exhibition. I checked it out of curiosity, and I saw your name, Laosha. , I didn’t expect that you are actually an investor in this movie, and you also came to Changchun. You said this is not fate, so I just want to tease you!" Liu Zian still likes to talk endlessly.

Shakru pretended to be scared and said: "You don't know, there are so many sentries along the way, all armed with live ammunition, it really scared me! Lao Liu, if nothing else, you have to compensate me for this!" "

Liu Zian pretended to be unhappy and replied: "Aren't you talking nonsense? You have already arrived at my door. If I don't entertain you well, is that okay? You just don't care about anything these days. Just listen to my arrangements. I I guarantee that I will take you to all the fun places in Jilin! The only pity is that Miss Amisa didn’t come here this time. Last time she came back from India, your sister-in-law kept talking about her, saying she didn’t know how to send it. Has she read Journey to the West?"

In the following days, Liu Zian took Shaklu to visit the Puppet Manchukuo Palace, Changbai Mountain Tianchi, Jingyue Lake and other well-known scenic spots in Jilin. Although Shaklu had been to these places in his previous life, he changed to a different place in this life. Identity travel again, the mood is always different, and because of Liu Zian's special identity, Therefore, the treatment enjoyed is completely different. For example, when I went to Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, I could only shoot the scenery of Tianchi from the mountain next to it. When I was unlucky, I couldn't see Tianchi at all, but this time I arrived directly. By the Tianchi waterfront, even the North Korean soldiers on the opposite side could see clearly.

Although this part was fun, Shakru always felt that Liu Zian seemed to have something to say to him, but he seemed to have some concerns and couldn't say it. It was not until the end of the tour that Liu Zian asked Shakru hesitantly while drinking one night: "Old Sha, do you want to come to Changchun to do business?"

Shakru nodded and then shook his head and said, "Yes, but not now."

"Isn't the current situation good enough? At the beginning of the year, the chief designer just finished speaking during the southern tour to encourage foreign-funded enterprises." Liu Zian asked curiously.

"I know this, but what business should I do in Changchun? If I use this place as a production base, I can't hire people; and as a sales market, the current income of Chinese people is not high, so now is not the right time to enter." Shakru explained lightly.
