Don't call me Master, call me Director

click.click.

Matou Shinji has already accumulated a certain amount of popularity in China thanks to Fate and "Super Eight", and the reporters who had been waiting for a long time frantically pressed the shutter after seeing him.

Fortunately, these reporters were stopped by the security personnel and did not squeeze up, otherwise Shen Er would never be so calm.

After greeting his girlfriend, Kariya turned to introduce the two representatives of the Celestial Dynasty to Shen Er.

"Shen Er, this is Mr. Niu Yuming, the executive vice chairman of the film festival organizing committee. This is Mr. Zhang Liangping, the secretary-general of the organizing committee."

"Mr. Li, Mr. Ma, this is my nephew director Shinji Matou, and this is Ms. Uda Chuannanou, the president of Xingyue Company."

Shen Er was too lazy to communicate with a translator, and said directly in Chinese: "You two, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Because he hasn't spoken Chinese for a long time, Shen Er's accent is a bit heavy, with a hint of rap, but even so, it still surprised the two big brothers.

Fortunately, these two are also well-informed, and soon they shook hands with Shinji and Uda Chuannanou one by one with normal expressions.

During the whole process, Sakura stood far behind, without any intention of approaching him.

Although she came to Tianchao this time to represent Xingyue Company, neither her status as an actress nor her position in the company was high enough to participate in this level of talks.

After a brief introduction, Shen Er did not stay to accept the reporter's interview. Anyway, he is not an actor and does not need personal enthusiasm, and there is no need to cause trouble for others.

Under the protection of several security personnel, Shen Er and others walked out of the airport, got into three cars, and drove towards the city.

In the case of a driver, Shen Er sat on the right side of the back row of the main seat, followed by Kariya, who was second in position, sat on the left side of the back row, and his male assistant sat on the co-pilot, which is quite standard seating arrangement.

By the way, if you are driving in the same company, the co-pilot is the seat of honor.

After getting in the car, Shen Er glanced curiously at the young man sitting in the front passenger seat, who was sighing slightly.

"You seem disappointed."

Hearing Shen Er's words, the assistant immediately straightened his back.

"No, no...I'm just a little regretful." The young man shaved his cheeks and said with some embarrassment, "The head office came to promote the movie. I thought I could see a few movie stars... ..."

"The leading role in the movie... Well, isn't this the one?"

Shen Er pointed at his second uncle.

"What kind of starring role am I?" Kariya glared at Shinji, "I remember the words I heard the most on the set were telling me not to take Hiroshi Nagano's scene!"

Shen Er spread his hands together: "My blogger's coffee position is higher than yours, what can I do?"

"Is this the nephew's attitude towards his uncle?"

Kariya smacked his mouth in displeasure.

"Haha~"

The young assistant let out a good-natured laugh, trying to lighten the mood.

"My name is Li Riying, and I'm Boss Kariya's intern assistant. By the way, I just finished training."

The second half of Li Riying's sentence was rambling, but Shen Er knew that the other party was talking about basic training in magic.

As a modernized (magicized) film and television company, Xingyue cannot fail to have something to do with magic.

In order to ensure that the affairs related to magic can be carried out smoothly, Kariya, under the instructions of Shinji, recruited a group of people who have magic talents in the Celestial Dynasty but have never been exposed to magic.

Of course, in the local Chinese language, magic should be called "Alchemy".

Xingyue's method of recruiting in Tianchao is also very simple. Shen Er drew inspiration from Brother Brush who made people dizzy at the beginning, and placed a link composed of magic formulas in an inconspicuous corner of his company's official website.

Only people with a talent for magic can discover this link, and after entering, they can see related job advertisements.

Among them, there will definitely be people who clicked on the link by mistake, and those people will be screened during the interview.

If there is no magic talent, it will be screened out, or transferred to the work department of ordinary people.

Li Riying is such a lucky one. He has no background with the mysterious forces in the Celestial Dynasty, but he has a decent talent.

So after simple training, he became Kariya's temporary secretary.

Lao Li is very satisfied with this new job, not only because he can cultivate mysterious powers, and has the illusion of becoming a superhero, but also because Xingyue Company is a film and television company, and it is also Yuangu's current parent company.

Li Riying didn't bother to care that Yuangu and Xingyue were not directly related, but the owner of the two companies happened to be Shen Er.

For a chef like him, Xingyue Company is heaven! !

"Director Matou! It's really nice to meet you!"

Speaking of which, Li Riying held out a signed sheet to Shen Er.

"Can you sign my name?"

"Of course, this is a benefit that the boss of the company gives to the employees."

Shen Er took the signed version with a smile, and wrote his name on it in a flying style.

"thank you very much."

Li Riying nodded excitedly, and carefully put away the signed version.

Kariya said in a tone of someone who has experienced it: "Xiao Li, you don't have to be so flattering to this guy, he will think you are easy to bully, and then oppress you, just like me."

"Second Uncle, that's a mistake." Shen Er gave Kariya a thumbs up, "I don't care about others, but for you, whether you bully me or not, I will oppress you!"

"Shinji~ you go to die!"

Kariya's eyes were burning, and he stretched out his hands to strangle his nephew to clean up the house.

"Stupid Second Uncle, how could you be my opponent!"

Shinji laughed and used his hands to resist Kariya's attack, and the two of them just came and went in the car, seeing each other's tricks.

"..."

Looking at the two uncles and nephews who were fighting together, Li Riying felt that he was so redundant.

[This kind of mutually damaging relationship between uncles and nephews is very visual.Wouldn't it be my future? 】

Li Riying felt a little bit worried, he always felt that he might be like his own boss in front of his nephew without any dignity in the future.

Chapter 280

In the end, in this "battle" between Kariya and Shinji, Shenji was even better, and used magic to push Kariya on the seat.

"Amazing."

Looking at the magic light belt on Kariya's body, Li Riying said greedily, "I don't know when I will have this level."

Every teenager has fantasized that he has the ability to surpass ordinary people, and the dream of being a hero in the world.

It doesn't matter whether it is the martial arts school or fairy school in the East, or the science and technology school or mutation school in the West, or even the ninjutsu school or stand-in school in Japanese manga, it's just a difference in power, and the essence of the dream is the one who shows the holy costume in front of others. force.

"It's too early for you to speak."

Shinji smiled and shook his finger.

No matter how talented Li Riying is, it is impossible for him to become a master of magic in this period of time. Even if he is as talented as Shinji Matou, he has at least two or three years of basic magic training.

The training that Lao Li experienced before only taught the most basic content, and it is still very early to become a real magician.

"You have to take your time in practicing magic. You should use your magic power stably now."

"yes, I got it."

Seeing that Assistant Li was so upbeat, Shen Er taught him some skills in magic practice.

Although Shen Er's magic theory is weak, there is still no problem teaching Li Riying, a pure newcomer.

Several people chatted back and forth, and the topic of the conversation finally came to the promotion of the "Super Eight" screening in China.

"Hey, it's really a pity that Mr. Hiroshi Nagano and the others didn't come to China this time." Li Riying said regretfully, "I thought I could see him."

"No way, Johnny's has almost no business in the mainland, and there is no publicity. It's too bad for bloggers to give up their activities in Japan and make a special trip."

Johnny's activities in China are really rare. The only thing Shinji remembers is the concert held by Kimura Takuya's group SMAP in Beijing in 2011 to thank China for its assistance to Japan in the earthquake.

The premise of this concert was that in May of that year, when the Chinese Prime Minister visited Japan, he met SMAP at the hotel where he stayed and invited them to come to China for a concert.

It can only be said that SMAP is a well-deserved first-day group in Japan, and several members are also worthy of the lineup of Japanese male artists.

Of course, on the other hand, it can also be seen how difficult it is for Johnny to carry out activities in the Celestial Dynasty.

Anyway, Shen Er felt that in the next 30 years, Johnny would not spend much energy on the Chinese market.

"But there is one thing, Li Riying, you can rest assured." Shen Er raised a finger, and said with a smile, "Nagano Hiroshi is still alive and well, there was no car accident."

"Hello..."

Does this boss even know about such online rumors? !

Li Riying was shocked, he realized that he really underestimated the director Shinji Matou.

Originally, he was already very surprised by this Japanese director who could communicate with him fluently in Chinese, but he did not expect that the other party understood him better than he thought.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The Shanghai Film Festival is the most important cultural project in Shanghai this year, and the committee will naturally not be stingy in the preparation.

Shen Er and the others lived in a five-star luxury hotel, and it was a single room.

Because it is just flying from Japan to Shanghai, there is no need for jet lag.

So after Shinji checked in at the hotel, he threw his luggage in the room, and then swaggered outside for a stroll.

In his previous life, Shen Er had visited the Demon City several times for various reasons, and he was no stranger to this city.

However, he did not go to the Confucian Temple (house shopping street) that he had to go to when he came to Shanghai before to shop for goods. After all, it is more convenient to buy these things in Japan. Instead, he went to the Bund to eat and shop.

Although Shen Er has always been not picky about food, nor does he dislike all kinds of magically modified Chinese cuisine in Japan, but in any case, the domestic food is more authentic and more in line with Shen Er's taste.

Li Riying, who was following behind Shen Er, was stunned. He found that the Japanese director was even more familiar with Shanghai than he was.

My so-called guide is a waste at all, many delicious restaurants are actually recommended to me by Shinji, who is a customer.

"Although I'm not a native of Modu, I don't know foreigners about this city. It's too heartbreaking..."

If it wasn't for Ma Tongying, who was with her, repeatedly stating that her brother had never been to Shanghai, Li Riying would have wondered if the other party was entertaining him.

However, this kind of eating and drinking didn't last. On the second day, Shen Er took the initiative to find the organizing committee of the film festival and confirm the itinerary for the next few days with them.

After finally coming to Tianchao, Shen Er is not going to leave just by showing his face at the film festival.

Although this time is still far away from the box office explosion of Tianchao, it will be too late to promote it until then, and it is necessary to get familiar with the movie fan group before the movie market rises.

That's right, the purpose of Shen Er's trip this time is not the present, but the future.

"The itinerary has been confirmed."

Uda Chuannanou handed a proposal to Shinji, "First and most importantly, you have to participate in the opening ceremony of the film festival as a member of the jury."

"Really?"

Shinji raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It's okay to invite yourself to the opening ceremony, that's the primary purpose of people inviting me.

What surprised Shen Er was that the official would actually invite him to be a member of the jury. You must know that the mainstream view in the Chinese film circle still regards film as art.

I am a businessman who is not in their circle, so they would invite me?

"Is this a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken?"

But after thinking about it for a while, Shen Er probably guessed the reason, probably it was the decision made by the organizing committee of the film festival.

It is now 2006, China's focus is on development and the economy, and its own films are very popular in China, with a lot of box office, so they are naturally valued by the government.

After all, the box office is also part of the political performance, so we have to pay attention.

It can only be said that this kind of up-and-coming environment is also a feature of the Chinese film and television industry in the current period.

Seeing that Shinji didn't question the itinerary, Udagawa Nanou continued: "In addition to the premiere, you also have to attend an international film forum and an official dinner."

"do you have anything else?"

Uda Chuan Nanou replied: "In addition to these mandatory items, there are several applications and optional activities, which are basically TV interviews and invitations to university lectures."

"Um......"

Shen Er thought about it for a while, and then said: "Forget about the TV interview, just push it away for me. University lectures can be arranged, but I will decide the location."

With that said, Shinji told Udagawa Nanou the names of the two universities.
