Chapter 499 Final Chapter
The Chinese premiere of "No Country for Old Men" instantly became the hottest topic in the whole of China.

Many celebrities on Weibo have been busy showing off their tickets in the past two days. It turns out that the premiere of "No Country for Old Men" organized by Jialan Company invited many celebrities in the circle to come and support.

Shen Lang is currently the chairman of the Academy Awards Association and has an extraordinary network of contacts. With the presence of Hollywood big shot Shirley, this premiere has obviously turned into a place of fame and fortune.

Ordinary child actors don’t even need to think about it.

Even some popular young actors with greasy hair were not among those invited by Shen Lang.

Jia Lan's behavior immediately aroused protests from the fans behind these people.

“Why can’t my baby participate?”

"What does Shen Lang mean? Do you think our phlegm is not presentable? It doesn't matter if the phlegm is not removed!"

In sharp contrast are the actors who received the invitation.

"Shen Teng received the tickets!"

"Huang Bai!"

"Bao Qiang, aren't you filming Mr. Tree? Are you free to attend? I'll buy your ticket for a high price!"

"Liu Dehua..."

........................

The premiere is about to begin.

Gu Jialan, wearing a white haute couture evening gown, entered the venue holding Shen Lang's hand.

The whole cinema suddenly burst into cheers.

The two came to the front of the big screen. Shen Lang smiled and bowed to the audience, saying, "The house is full of guests. Thank you all for your support!"

"Today, as everyone knows, is the premiere of No Country for Old Men! But it is also the first collective event of our Academy Awards Association!"

“Thank you all for coming!”

"Hahaha!" All the friends in the audience laughed and applauded.

"That's right. In this movie, I play the villain again! It's totally different from the old man with a urinary catheter as speculated on the Internet!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Let's stop talking nonsense and let Shirley Lanxin have the chance to speak!" After saying that, Shen Lang clapped his hands and looked aside.

Shirley is a white woman in her seventies. Although time has left traces on her face, she still looks energetic, both in terms of temperament and clothing style.

Shirley took the microphone and looked at Shen Lang: "Thank you Jeff, I am proud of your work. This is a great movie. Regarding the content of the movie, please allow me to keep you in suspense for a while!"

"Next, I would like to announce another very important decision for Paramount!"

The audience who could understand what was happening held their breath and stared at the stage.

Shirley said, "As we all know, the Paramount emblem is a snowy mountain surrounded by stars. Does anyone know what this means?"

At this time, Peng Mo stood up and said, "Ms. Shirley, the snow-capped mountain is a doodle by Mr. Hudkinson, the founder of Paramount, and Mr. Zokol during a meeting! The snow-capped mountain in the picture is Ben Lomond Mountain in Utah, the United States, where they lived when they were children."

Shirley clapped her hands upon hearing this and said, "Great sir! What about the stars?"

Peng Mo continued, "The twenty-four stars represent the twenty-four stars that signed contracts when Paramount was first established!"

Shirley nodded: "Thank you sir, please take a seat!"

After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands. At this moment, two people came out from the room next to the big screen carrying something covered with a red cloth.

Shirley pulled down the red cloth, and everyone discovered that it was the Paramount badge that Shirley had just mentioned.

"Everyone, look, what's different from usual!"

Everyone was shocked and vaguely guessed something. Sure enough, someone soon discovered... "25 badges, the th one!"

Shirley turned around and looked at Shen Lang with a smile: "To thank Jeff for his performance in this movie, Paramount customized this badge for him."

Looking at the snow-capped mountains shining brightly under the lights, everyone present was almost jealous to the point of going crazy.

Although this badge is most likely just a commemorative badge and will not appear in the official opening, it is also a huge honor. In the future, when anyone mentions the number of these badges, they will inevitably mention Shen Lang.

"This kid, two-five stars! What has he done for Paramount? Isn't this honor too high?"

"Two or five stars? You know how to save money. It doesn't matter if I say one more word!"

"Shen Lang is really going to be inducted into the Chinese Film Hall of Fame this time!"

……

Shen Lang took the badge the size of a miniature medal handed to him by Shirley and said, "Thank you, ma'am."

Shirley smiled and said, "I have something else to announce! Paramount has decided to take out 10% of the global box office and disc sales revenue of No Country for Old Men as a special fund for the Chinese Film Academy Awards."

“The creation of this fund will be awarded to those in the film industry who have made humanitarian efforts to bring credibility to the film industry!”

"What, 10%? Judging from the North American box office of No Country for Old Men, this is a huge number!"

"Isn't this fund the equivalent of the Oscar-winning Joan Hersholt Award? Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor have both won this award!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that the Academy Award had just been established and there would be investment from outside the system!"

"Now, the value of the Academy Awards has reached a new level!"

……

Shen Lang was also very surprised. On behalf of the Academy Awards Association, he first thanked Shirley and then thanked the crew of "No Country for Old Men".

After Shirley stepped down from the stage, everyone thought Shen Lang would announce the official start of the premiere.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lang suddenly said: "Almost all the people present here today are my relatives and friends!"

"Everyone gave me great help when I was most frustrated and confused!"

"Here, the people I should thank the most are my boss and my girlfriend Gu Jialan!"

Gu Jialan, who was standing nearby, was suddenly stunned when she heard this. Shen Lang actually announced in public in front of so many people in the industry that she was his girlfriend.

The guests present were also surprised to hear the news. This was Shen Lang's girlfriend, who he himself admitted to being her! This news was too explosive.

The invited media reporters at the scene were almost fainting with excitement. At today's premiere, the news was more explosive than the last.

Shen Lang turned around and looked at Gu Jialan, took her hands, and looked at her affectionately: "Lanlan, marry me!"

After saying that, he knelt on one knee and took out a diamond ring from his arms.

Gu Jialan was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She covered her lips and stared at Shen Lang with disbelief, as if asking, is all this true?
Shen Lang took her hand again and said, "Marry me, Lanlan!"

"Marry him, marry him, marry him..." Shen Lang's relatives and friends at the scene all started to cheer.

At this time, Shen Biao, Wu Mei and Shen Zhuangzhuang appeared on the big screen.

"Jia Lan, if that rascal Shen Lang makes you angry in the future, we will be responsible for teaching him a lesson! We really want to have a beautiful, sensible and capable daughter-in-law like you!" Shen Biao has recovered a lot and said these words to the camera with the support of Wu Mei.

Shen Zhuangzhuang, who was standing by, seemed to have practiced for a long time: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, marry, marry big brother! Give birth to a baby!"

After saying that, he took out a rose in his hand!

Gu Jialan was already in tears when she saw this scene. Shen Lang said gently, "Marry me, Lanlan!"

Gu Jialan nodded.

The moment Gu Jialan nodded, the scene was filled with applause and cheers.

Shen Lang put the ring on Gu Jialan's hand, turned around and said, "From now on, I, Shen Lang, will never be able to appear in No Country for Old Men again!"

"Hahaha!"

“Friends, let’s watch a movie!!!”

The movie premiere officially began. Shen Lang and Gu Jialan sat in the first row, holding hands, and the movie officially began.

"Ding! Congratulations to Donkey Bao for completing the task and obtaining the Coin of Destiny. Coin of Destiny is a physical reward. When you think that you can control your life, the results are often unexpected."

At this moment, a coin suddenly appeared in the palms of Shen Lang and Gu Jialan's clasped hands.

At this moment, Shen Lang felt dizzy, as if time and space were being pulled apart.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Lang woke up.

He turned around and looked around: "Where is this? Why does it look so familiar?"

"Shen Lang, hurry up, it's your turn!"

Shen Lang was a little confused. Isn't this the premiere? How...

It was as if I had returned to another time and space, and was on the set of filming "Fake Eunuch, the Empress Let Me Conquer the Emperor's Harem".

"Hurry up, it's your turn!" At this time, a yellow-haired stage manager pulled him towards the "palace".

It was only then that he realized that this was the scene before he traveled through time, when he came to the short drama crew to make quick money because he couldn't get any acting jobs.

Lines, shit, what were the lines?

At this moment, a woman in a bathrobe in the shower room had already become impatient. When she saw Shen Lang, she pouted and said, "Why are you dawdling? Let's get out after the photo shoot."

Shen Lang was inexplicably pushed into the shower room, and the director shouted "start" before he was ready.

The woman's limp body suddenly fell into his arms: "Aren't you afraid that Mr. Liu will find out?"

Shen Lang had already remembered it by now, and he said, "Scared, of course I'm scared, just wait and see how I deal with you..."

"Click! Very good! Change the camera position! Do it again!"

After finally finishing the filming, the leading actress left the crew with her hips twisted. Shen Lang looked around in disappointment: "Damn, did I have a dream?"

"It's time for dinner!" At this time, the crew members came over carrying two insulated boxes.

A group of actors rushed forward to grab the food. Shen Lang sighed and walked to the box and turned on his phone: "Brothers, it's time to eat again. Let's just have two servings today!"

It turned out that Shen Lang was doing so poorly that he had to work part-time as a short video and live broadcaster.

He took the lunch box to the steps nearby, put his phone away, and skillfully covered the dish with rice: "Cover it up and start self-discipline..."

At this moment, a clear female voice sounded behind him: "Shen Lang, look, I developed the photos of us when we were little!"

Shen Lang didn't even look behind him, and smiled at the camera: "Brothers, the assistant is here! Have you eaten?"

The young assistant came to Shen Lang and put the photo in front of him in a show-off manner.

Shen Lang wolfed down a mouthful of rice and looked up. Suddenly, he stared at the girl in the photo. Why did she look so familiar?

He turned to look at the assistant beside him...

"Lanlan!"

At this moment, Gu Jialan was looking at Shen Lang with his chin supported by his arm: "What?"

"you you you you……"

"What do you mean, by the way, I picked up a coin on the way here today, it's quite nice!"

Shen Lang stared blankly at the coin in her hand, then took it from her.

……

"Wake up, wake up! Shen Lang, the movie is over, the host invites you to the stage to speak!"

"Haha, he's been too busy lately, filming a movie, and..."

"Hahahaha, I understand, I understand!"

At this moment, Shen Lang slowly opened his eyes...the light was dazzling.
