Chapter 1167 The Phantom of Hong Kong Island (Second update, please subscribe)
In the early morning, two F1 fighter jets took off from Chiang Rai Airport and soon disappeared into the distance.
Soon, the formation crossed the border and entered the sky over Myanmar. This time it was a routine air patrol in the no-fly zone.
Faced with such an invasion, Yangon’s reaction was...silence.
Of course, this silence is just the silence of the military. Instead of sending aircraft to safeguard the country's sovereignty, they chose to remain silent and even ordered the air force to "not enter the eastern Myanmar region in order to avoid unnecessary conflicts." .”
Of course Yangon does not recognize the "no-fly zone".
At least they do not admit the existence of the "no-fly zone". They just choose to avoid conflicts in order to avoid conflicts. That's all. In short, for the Yangon military, they are doing their best to avoid conflicts. After all, The lessons learned from Siam are there, and no one wants to become the second Siam.
Of course, in private, Yangon is also trying to solve the issue of northern Myanmar through diplomatic means. The outside world knows nothing about this. The Nanyang Air Force only conducts routine and official operations in Shan State every day. Flying above.
What about Yangon?
On the other hand, they are trying their best to avoid conflicts, and even ordered the troops in Shan State to retreat. In short... the dawn here is quiet.
...
The troubles in the world seem to have nothing to do with many people. Most of them are just living ordinary lives.
In the morning, Guan Shan woke up with a hangover. Since two years ago, he won the Best Actor at the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland for "The True Story of Ah Q", becoming the first person to win an award at an international film festival. After becoming a Hong Kong actor, Guan Shan won the title of "Actor".
Since then, there have been constant film appointments and, of course, constant entertainment.
But this kind of thing is always inevitable, and Guanshan has long been accustomed to this kind of life.
After drinking the hangover soup cooked by the servant, Guan Shan felt a little more energetic and drove his BMW sports car all the way to the Great Wall Company's set. However, when he got there, he found out that Zhang Bingqian did not come to the set today. , he has been pursuing Zhang Bingqian for the past few months, and the two have not only established a relationship, but have even discussed marriage.
After learning that his girlfriend was not on the set, Guan Shan drove a sports car and wandered around Hong Kong Island aimlessly, wondering if he should find someone to have lunch with. Although he had already discussed marriage with Zhang Bingqian, However, he has a romantic nature and still maintains private contact with several confidantes.
“It’s better not to go. It would be bad if Bing Qian finds out.”
While thinking about this in my heart, when Guan Shan came back to his senses, I realized that I had actually arrived at this place - the Nanyang Consulate.
Looking at the consulate on the roadside, Guan Shan couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. His mood was complicated. A few years ago, he applied for an "expatriate pass" to Nanyang, but was turned away. At that time, he only thought that his academic qualifications were low and he was not qualified.
After winning Switzerland's "Silver Sail Award" two years ago, Guan Shan, who thought he was successful, once again applied for Nanyang's "Expatriate Pass". Originally full of confidence, he thought he would be able to get the pass smoothly because he was the "Actor", but still Rejected by Nanyang.
Faced with such a result, Guan Shan was completely stunned!
How could this happen?
Full of confusion, when he asked the other party why it was not approved, the consulate official just said lightly - you do not meet the conditions!
What are the conditions?
Is it because of academic qualifications?
No one told him the answer.
But later, Guan Shan learned through some channels that the reason why the consulate did not issue him an expat pass was very simple - he was a Manchu.
That’s why!
“I really think I am amazing!”
Just like that, Guan Shan, who was sitting in the sports car, stared at the consulate opposite with a sour heart. His mood could be described as complicated.
People come in and out of the tall building from time to time.
It is already ten o'clock in the morning, and people come in and out from time to time, all applying for visas or expat passes.
Guan Shan just looked at the people entering the consulate. These people were both men and women, and most of them were dressed very formally. They looked like they had received higher education. Many of them must have graduated from college.
Although college students can also find good jobs in Hong Kong Island, for them, going to Nanyang is the best choice.
Therefore, they put on their best clothes and came here, trying to knock on the door to Nanyang.
They walked into this building with great expectations, and then some got their wish, they got tickets to enter there, but some came back disappointed.
You can tell it from their expressions when they come out. Pass holders will be there excitedly chatting with the people around them.
What about those who didn’t get a pass?
They all looked downcast.
Guan Shan somewhat understood their mood. Because the grades were appropriate, he walked out of the building with the same expression as them.
For many ordinary people, being able to go to Nanyang is the beginning of changing their destiny.
Even for Guan Shan, he is also eager to go to Nanyang, where there is a broader space for development. After all, Kuching is known as "Asia's Hollywood." In comparison, Hong Kong Island's film industry is almost worth mentioning.
Right now, the Kuching Film Festival in Nanyang is about to begin. Many well-known stars from Hong Kong Island have gone there. Of course he can go too - he just needs to apply for a visa, most likely It was passable. After all, he was going to participate in a film exhibition, but Guan Shan was worried about being refused a visa - for example, he suspected that he had a tendency to stay illegally. In short, there were many ways to refuse a visa, so he wisely chose not to go there and get it himself. What a shame!
In the end, Guan Shan did not go to Nanyang due to schedule conflicts. But what about inside?
Judging from their expressions with frowns and depressed expressions, it seems that many people have been rejected today.
Seeing their expressions, Guan Shan raised the corners of his mouth, then took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it, and said while smoking.
"Well, you're not the only one who didn't go to Nanyang."
While he was talking to himself, the newsboy's voice suddenly came from the side:
br>
"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper. Read the statement - warning the Nanyang hegemonists not to get carried away and interfere in Myanmar's internal affairs..."
"Read the newspaper, 500,000 people protest against the Nanyang hegemonism!"< br>
Although the newsboy's shout was in his ears, Guan Shan seemed not to have heard it and just sat in the car smoking a cigarette.
After finishing smoking a cigarette, Guan Shan muttered.
"Okay, we can't go there anyway, let's go find Bingqian first."
Then, he started the car again and drove away.
Just when he was leaving, Guan Shan's eyes couldn't help but glance at the consulate again. It was the closest distance to Nanyang, and of course the farthest distance.
......
Just when Guan Shan wanted to enter Nanyang but could not, at Kai Tak Airport, a group of reporters were surrounding a beautiful female star, asking her questions from time to time.
"Ms. You, many people in the industry in Hong Kong say that you are very likely to win the Best Actress Award at this year's Palme d'Or for "Family Affair". How do you feel about this, Ms. You?"< br>
When asked by reporters, You Min only answered the questions politely.
As the most well-known female movie star in Hong Kong Island, she won the Best Actress Award at the 6th Asian Film Festival two years ago for her outstanding performance in the movie "The Love of a Beautiful Girl". And thus became a movie queen.
Last year, You Min starred in the movie "Happy Events in the Family" directed by Wang Tianlin, and played the role of Du Huifang, a clerk with a heavy burden of life. With this film, she personally won the 7th Asian Film Festival Film Festival Best Actress Award.
However, as we all know, in Asia, the most valuable thing is the "Palme d'Or". The "Palme d'Or" is the highest award in the Nanyang film industry. It was founded in 50 years and is awarded once a year.
The Palme d'Or trophy is made of gold palm branches. This is because Kuching has tall and tall palm trees planted everywhere, which inspired the establishment of this award.
The Palme d'Or is based on a 1-kilogram crystal base, inlaid with a golden olive branch 13.5 centimeters high, 9 centimeters wide, and composed of 19 leaves. The olive branch and leaves are made of 24K gold, with a total weight of 118 grams.
It is said that this trophy was designed by Your Excellency.
There is nothing wrong with this. It was indeed designed by Li Nian. Even the Kuching Film Festival was established under his instruction. In fact, setting up a film exhibition or the Palme d'Or is not just a matter of It is just to spread Nanyang culture and serve Nanyang's entire cultural strategy.
At that time, after Li Yi'an personally drafted the "Five-Year Plan for Cultural Revitalization" and included the cultural industry as a national strategy, he began to consider how to export Nanyang culture. At that time, even men's favorite He almost plagiarized the girl group. Of course, the flirtatious girl group was just an idea. At most, it was just an idea created to benefit himself.
But Li Yian really puts cultural export at the level of national strategy!
What is cultural export?
On a simple level, it is "Let the whole world listen to Chinese songs and watch Nanyang movies!"
But on a more complex level, it is not just Chinese, it is as simple as movies. , it is an overall systematic project. Nanyang needs to use movies to construct and spread the culture of Nanyang, and the culture of Nanyang is both Eastern classical and European and Western.
Eastern love and western charm!
This is Nanyang!
And what if all this was shown?
The Kuching Film Festival is one of them. When setting up this film exhibition, Li Yi'an simply chose to be lazy. Even the film festival awards are directly plagiarized from the Cannes Film Festival.
Anyway, although there was the Cannes Film Festival at that time, there was no "Palme d'Or". This was plagiarism, but it was clearly original!
So this well-known award took root in Nanyang.
After nearly 10 years of development, the "Palme d'Or" has now become a prestigious award worldwide.
In the Asian film industry, many filmmakers are proud to be nominated for the Palme d'Or, and this time You Min was nominated for the Palme d'Or for Best Actress.
For this, all walks of life in Hong Kong are naturally extremely excited, and now that the "Beauty Queen" is about to go to Kuching, it has naturally attracted the attention of all walks of life, and reporters are now gathering around her for interviews. .
Facing the interview, You Min seemed very indifferent. After answering the reporters' questions one by one, she took a flight to Nanyang with the director and others...
