Who let them in?
If anyone could freely enter and exit the premiere venue, wouldn't the media waiting outside have already come in to conduct interviews?
Lin Rui thought to himself, but on the surface he remained calm: "So it's Mr. Granger, it's been a long time."
Granger wore a smile, but was actually quite wary.
He never forgot the smiling young man in front of him, who was extremely skilled at using language to make you mentally collapse on the spot!
Undeniably, language is a profound subject, but he was also puzzled as to why this seemingly harmless young man possessed such unfathomable expertise in this area.
So much so that Minister Abel had to send out his elite team just to deal with the young man's eloquence!
"Today is the premiere of Mr. Lin's movie, and the minister specially arranged for us to attend and congratulate him."
Granger maintained his smile.
Granger is more difficult to deal with than Johnson.
Meanwhile, Lin Rui was also secretly observing the people behind Granger. He found that their demeanor and behavior had not changed much from beginning to end, as if they were emotionless machines.
"Mr. Lin, you haven't forgotten our original agreement, have you?"
A middle-aged man with slightly dark skin spoke up.
Lin Rui frowned slightly and looked at Granger with a questioning gaze.
Granger immediately stepped aside and introduced, "This is Mr. Robertson, sent by the minister to liaise with Mr. Lin."
"Agreement?"
Lin Rui asked innocently, "Really?"
Robertson frowned slightly: "It's what Mr. Lin talked about with Johnson before."
"Qiao Sen?"
Lin Rui suddenly frowned: "Just mentioning this person makes me angry. He talks a good game, but he's just messing with me the whole time!"
Seeing Lin Rui's indignant attitude, Robertson frowned even more deeply.
At the same time, he looked at Granger with suspicion, as if he wanted to ask what was going on.
Granger, on the other hand, was also completely bewildered. Everyone present was shrewd and knew that Lin Rui's indignation was not just for show.
Could it be that there are some hidden secrets they are unaware of?
"What exactly did that idiot say to this kid?"
Granger cursed inwardly, but outwardly looked puzzled: "Mr. Lin, is there some misunderstanding between you and Johnson?"
"Misunderstand?"
Lin Rui was somewhat angry: "He's a complete liar!"
After a pause, Lin Rui's gaze suddenly became wary: "By the way, you guys are in cahoots, aren't you also scammers?"
fraud?
Granger looked on with amusement.
He was carefully observing Lin Rui's reaction. Not only him, but everyone in the team led by Robertson was also observing.
It can be said with certainty that Lin Rui's wary and sorrowful expression at this moment was not fake!
"Mr. Lin, we are not scammers!"
Seeing that Lin Rui seemed to want to call security personnel to kick them out, Robertson quickly stepped forward to ease the tension: "Mr. Lin, please rest assured, although I don't know what misunderstanding exists between you and Johnson, please believe that we have come here with sincerity and will not deceive you in any way."
"real?"
Lin Rui still didn't believe it.
Seeing this skeptical attitude, Granger was utterly speechless!
At the same time, a sense of unease arose in his heart again, because without realizing it, they seemed to have fallen into a passive position once more.
Suddenly, Granger woke up with a start!
language!
That damned linguistic indiscretion again!
Robertson also realized what was happening, and gave a cold snort inwardly, but on the surface he remained serious: "Mr. Lin, you don't need to doubt us. We have indeed come here with sufficient sincerity."
Robertson didn't intend to give Lin Rui a chance to beat around the bush, and went straight to the point: "Mr. Lin, you must have felt the support that Luo Guo has given to the film 'The Legend of 1900', right?"
"Of course, the feeling is extremely profound."
Lin Rui nodded.
Granger's eyes lit up. He wasn't afraid of you beating around the bush and pretending to be stupid; he was afraid you would stubbornly refuse to admit it.
Granger and Robertson exchanged a glance, both seeing the satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Just admit it!
You're still young after all!
Before the two could even feel happy, Lin Rui said angrily, "We applied three times in total, and each time our country's review department rejected us for the same reason."
At this point, Lin Rui looked at Granger and Robertson with a gloomy expression: "Are you two here as a group to mock me?"
reject? !
Three applications?
Every time, you use the same reason to refuse?
The people present weren't fools; they could easily tell that Lin Rui was referring to applying to the country of Los Angeles so that "The Legend of 1900" could be screened there.
This wouldn't normally be a big deal. Every year, countless films and television shows are rejected by the censorship department for all sorts of absurd reasons. Films and television shows like "The Legend of 1900," produced in China, are subject to even more severe discrimination.
Everyone knows the truth about this.
But now, Lin Rui has brought it up, and even Granger and Robertson don't know how to continue the conversation.
Earlier, it was said that he had given enough support to "The Legend of 1900", but then Lin Rui retorted that "The Legend of 1900" not only failed to pass the application in Luo Guo, but was also rejected three times!
What kind of support is this?
This is suppression, isn't it!
The business environment in Luo Guo is somewhat unique, especially regarding film and television works from other countries, where the censorship process is slightly more rigorous.
“In this regard, even the minister cannot make decisions on his own, since they are not from the same department.”
"Of course, the minister has also consulted with other countries..."
Granger was still trying to downplay the incident, but as he spoke, he noticed that Lin Rui's eyes had changed, revealing a sinister look that sent chills down his spine.
"So it was you who were behind this!"
Lin Rui stood up abruptly, his face filled with indignation: "No wonder the company's teams sent to countries like Gaul and Georgia have been repeatedly turned away; it's all because of you!"
"Mr. Lin, please don't get agitated. I don't quite understand what you mean."
Robertson also got up, trying to calm Lin Rui's agitation.
"In order to better promote 'The Legend of 1900,' the company sent a large number of teams to various countries outside the region, but strangely, all of them were rejected without exception."
Lin Rui said in a deep voice, "For those seniors, if they want their films to be released in these countries, they only need to submit the materials, and the specific premiere date of the film can be finalized."
"But when it comes to this, I feel like I'm completely trapped with nowhere to turn."
"I didn't understand before, but now I finally get it. It turns out you were the ones pulling the strings behind the scenes!"
"Is this how Luo Guo supports 'The Legend of 1900'?"
Lin Rui practically roared as he finished speaking.
Perhaps hearing the commotion, the busy staff nearby stopped what they were doing, and several young men either secretly pulled out a stick from behind the door or started unbuckling their belts.
Seeing the increasingly hostile gazes from the staff around him, Granger was in a real bind.
The situation seems to be developing in a strange direction again.
