Chapter 271 Double Agent
With overwhelming publicity, an independent American film actually had more publicity in China than any of the blockbusters from the six major Hollywood film studios!

A penguin is a penguin. This is why Shen Lang threw himself into the arms of the penguin at that time. It has resources, which is really good.

Compared to the screenings of "Pulp Fiction", "Blind Shaft" is pitifully small.

In fact, the theater’s screening schedule is indeed predictable, and "Blind Well" is an accident.

On the first day of the release of Pulp Fiction, countless fans flocked to theaters of all sizes across China.

Some movie fans come to watch a movie with Chinese actors purely out of curiosity.

Some of them are the trolls on the Internet before, and they are here to find fault.

However, no matter what the purpose was, on the day of the premiere of "Pulp Fiction" in China, tickets for all theaters were almost sold out.

Naturally, Shen Lang would not miss the premiere of his movie in China.

Gu Jialan booked the ticket early.

"Boss, you don't need to go to see this movie. You're so busy at work. Why don't you return the ticket and leave it to someone who needs it more?"

"It's okay. This is a movie made by my company's employees. I will definitely go to support the box office when I have time!" Gu Jialan looked at Shen Lang with a smile.

Shen Lang was still making his final struggle: "How about we go back, I'll cook for you, then practice yoga with you, give you a half-hour massage before bed, and then sing [Little Bunny] for the boss. Boss, look at you, it's been a long time since you had a good night's sleep!"

"It's okay. It's only ten o'clock after the movie. I'll go back and have a good rest!" Gu Jialan looked at Shen Lang meaningfully. "Besides, in order to make me understand the hard work of the employees filming outside, I also specially invited someone to introduce me to the stories beyond the movie lens."

"hold head high?"

"Hello, Brother Lang, I'm here!" The Golden Piglet appeared out of nowhere.

Shen Lang: "..."

When the movie started, Shen Lang looked at Gu Jialan beside him and felt a little nervous.

Plus, the boss's golden little dog leg, tonight...

However, the boss and the little dog leg were concentrating on watching the movie after it started and did not speak.

It's not just the bosses and the lackeys.

The cinema was completely silent the entire time.

At the beginning, Shen Lang thought that everyone's attention was focused on the movie, which was a good thing.

However, the further time went by, the more Shen Lang felt depressed.

It turns out that the audience didn't laugh during some of the funny scenes.

For example, in the movie, Vincent asked Jules about the gossip at the beginning of the film about the ambiguous relationship between Anton and Mia.

The gossip is this: Anton was flirting with Mia and gave Mia a foot massage, and then he was pushed down from the fourth floor by Masha and became mute. (Actually, I am as curious as you are, why falling from the fourth floor would make someone mute instead of disabled, there is only one reason - Quentin Tarantino is a good person)

So, what Vincent wants to know is, Anton was ruined by Masha because he was flirting with you, should I be worried about this?
And what was Mia’s response?
Mia told Vincent that Anton did not give her a massage (foot massage), he just shook her hand.

Please note that the name was not typed wrong. Vincent said [Anton], but Mia said Tony. Tony is Anton's nickname, a nickname that is usually known to people who are close or familiar with him/her.

Chinese people are already very vague about foreign names, and when they hear this, they may not even know that Anton has become Tony.

But, the script is here, did Shen Lang make a mistake?

Obviously not.

Imagine if Anton was a dutiful younger brother who only wanted to complete the task assigned by the boss and entertain his sister-in-law, would he tell his sister-in-law his nickname? Obviously not. From this point of view, at least Anton had an ambiguous heart.

Does Mia know that Anton is flirting with her, and does she cooperate with his ambiguity?
The film did not give a definite answer. But whether it was true or not, whether the two of them just shook hands and were gossiped about as getting a massage, Mia was not innocent.

Why do you say that?

From the moment Mia appeared, the director spent a lot of space to describe Mia's little tricks.

Combining the "anti-contract" rhetoric mentioned above, we can understand the ambiguity between Mia and Anton in this way:

When Mia shook hands with Anton, she probably didn't really think about flirting with him. But Mia's motivation to flirt with the opposite sex and prove her charm was probably embedded in her body language and action logic through her subconscious.

A glance or a gesture is mixed with teasing and encouragement to the opposite sex, and is a hint of a possible but not guaranteed opportunity for "deep communication". Playing with ambiguity has become her muscle memory, and every move is teasing.

Just waiting for those who are willing to take the bait.

Therefore, it is obvious that most of the audience did not understand this part. The cultural difference caused a little trick in the name, which made it impossible for foreigners to understand the deeper meaning of the movie.

The atmosphere on the scene became slightly lively until Shen Lang appeared on the big screen.

But it is only slightly active.

……

Shen Lang walked out of the movie theater rubbing his thigh.

As soon as he got in the car, Gu Jialan said to Shen Lang: "There's something wrong between you and this Maria. The way you looked at him in the movie was wrong!"

Shen Lang's heart tightened. Women's sixth sense was really scary.

You can catch the ambiguity with just a glance.

"Wrong? What's wrong, boss? What are you talking about? I don't understand." When a man is forced to admit something, his answer is always the same - play dumb.

"You have a crush on that Maria!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang immediately said righteously: "Of course I like her. Maria is one of the best actors I have ever seen!"

The second step of telling a white lie, some true and some false!

"Wang Zhuo, tell me, did Shen Lang do anything unusual when filming this drama? I warn you, if you help hide an artist and violate company discipline, you are an accomplice, and your 50,000 yuan monthly salary will be lost!"

"What?" Shen Lang was furious. You, Wang Zhuo, actually make 50,000 a month? You came back to wash my feet that day and you came to me to complain about being poor?

Wang Zhuo stared at Shen Lang's surprised face and smiled. His smile was so cold that Shen Lang couldn't move his feet.

The next second, Xiao Zhuli turned around and looked at Gu Jialan with a righteous look on his face: "Dear Mr. Gu, Brother Lang has been very clean abroad, never going to bad places, and never having any contact with the opposite sex outside of work!"

"It can be said that Brother Lang is a role model for artists and a model for employees!"

Gu Jialan: “…”

Shen Lang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, that morning, Xiao Zhuli misunderstood me and I couldn't sleep! Hehe!

……

Half an hour later, Gu Jialan drove away contentedly.

Xiao Zhuli turned to look at Shen Lang: "Brother Lang, in the United States, that night you were not in your room, but sneaked into Maria's room on the 19th floor and did not return all night..."

Shen Lang's anus tightened, and he clasped his hands together: "Brother, I won't say anything. If I have a bite of meat, I will have a bite of soup!"

The double agent Xiao Zhuli's face was covered with chrysanthemums. He and Shen Lang looked at each other and both smiled.

Damn, we are all men, don’t say anything, everything is self-explanatory!
