Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 515: The perfect ending of the movie? Jianghuai collapses!

Previously, Bao Guowei and Li Mingwei wanted to give the role of Bruce Lee in the novel "The Godfather" to Cao Yanhai.

Unfortunately, Cao Yanhai followed Bao Guowei and traveled everywhere, either to Suzhou or to Beijing, and even went abroad and made a round trip to Europe.

Originally, his role had to be cut a lot.

The original work by Bruce Lee was very popular. In order to avoid dissatisfaction among readers, Li Mingwei and Bao Guowei discussed in letters and simply created a character named Bruce Cao, who appeared in the name of Bruce Lee's junior brother.

But unexpectedly, it has a more dramatic effect.

To be honest, Cao Yanhai still felt a little regretful. He rubbed his nose and said helplessly when he saw Bruce Cao's funny performance when he appeared.

"I originally wanted to be a great hero, but who would have thought I would end up being a funny guy."

Bao Guowei smiled and shook his head and said, "Just be content. How many people want a role? It's a good deal for you, kid.

I think Bruce Cao is not bad either. Compared to the old-fashioned characters in the film, he is quite likable. Although he doesn’t have many scenes, I believe the audience will like him more.”

Bao Guowei's guess was correct. The appearance of Bruce Cao greatly adjusted the atmosphere of the movie.

It was originally so tense that it was suffocating, but now it makes people relax instantly.

However, this movie doesn't let the mood drop so easily.

Soon, the plot began to become tense again.

Mike took over the family business, forcibly acquired the assets of the largest local force, and finally massacred other families during the godfather ceremony.

He killed the traitor Tessio and Carlo who killed his brother.

He became the new generation godfather in one fell swoop!
At the end of the movie, the old godfather Vito died of a relapse of his old illness while playing with his grandson.

It brings the film to a suspenseful and emotional ending.

Obviously, this is an open ending, especially the last scene.

At the funeral, Mike looked at all the people attending from the five major families, with murderous intent in his eyes!
Until the end of the movie, the lights in the theater dimmed for a full half minute, and then suddenly lit up.

At once, everyone stood up and applauded.

The warm applause almost filled the entire theater.

In the crowd, Li Mingwei and Bu Wancang were smiling particularly warmly. The success of the movie was something they both saw clearly.

If there were any concerns before the premiere, they have now been completely dispelled.

"The Godfather" is the most comprehensive film work in Chinese history!
The technical level and story description it demonstrates have surpassed an era.

It will even definitely affect the development of the Chinese film industry in the next hundred years!
While watching the movie, when Li Mingwei saw the audience laughing, he laughed too; when he saw the audience crying, he cried too; when he saw the audience excited, he got excited too.

He saw that Du Yuesheng, who was also a gangster boss, almost widened his eyes and leaned forward, as if he wanted to go to the United States to fight a decisive battle immediately.

He saw Hong Shen, a leading actor in drama but a self-proclaimed lackey of Bao Guowei, waving his fist enthusiastically and shouting "This is a Chinese movie!"

He also saw that many socialites who usually put on airs would burst into laughter at the funny plots in the movie and shed tears because of the family love in the movie.

From now on, no further evaluation is needed.

Now, everything has come to fruition!
He didn't care about the friends who came to congratulate him. He collapsed to the ground and tears welled up in his eyes instantly.

At this moment, in the box on the second floor, Cao Yanhai and Zhang Nianyue also stood up and cheered wildly with the crowd.

Only Bao Guowei was there. He brushed off the melon seed shells stuck to his body and stretched lazily.

Zhang Nianyue pulled Bao Guowei and said, "How come you are not happy at all for making such an excellent movie?"

"Hehe, Master is showing off in front of people, I know." Cao Yanhai said, imitating Bao Guowei's usual way. "But there are many acquaintances downstairs, Mr. Lin Yutang is here, old man Du Yuesheng is here too, Master, are you really not going?"

"I'm not going." Bao Guowei let out a breath and said with a smile on his face.

"What am I going to do there? To let you gentlemen rack your brains to flatter me?"

Bao Guowei knew that everything would turn into its opposite when it reached its extreme.

Now, he is no longer the young man eager to make a name for himself.

Keeping a low profile can save you from a lot of trouble.

"Besides, I came up with some ideas and money for this movie, but I didn't put in any effort.

Most of the credit goes to Li Mingwei and Bu Wancang.

Let these two guys enjoy this honor!"

Another reason why Bao Guowei kept a low profile was that he was afraid of being targeted by the Japanese. From "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" to Liao Yaquan, and then to the publication of "No Longer Human".

He opposed the Japanese in almost every way and even openly promoted the Japanese threat theory.

It is impossible for the Japanese not to take action. They are a twisted group of people who are best at using insidious means.

Bao Guowei wants to play his role in the next historical process, and protecting himself, his family and friends is also a very important issue.

"Master, then shall we go back now?" Cao Yanhai felt a little regretful.

"If you want to go down and show off in front of people, I won't stop you." Bao Guowei said with a smile, spreading his hands.

After saying that, he walked outside on his own.

Seeing that his master and mistress had left, Cao Yanhai looked at the cheering crowd below, then turned around and followed Bao Guowei.

It is not very convenient to come to Shanghai, and since Bao Guowei is here, he plans to operate the business well.

A week was still too long. Bao Guowei was afraid that something might happen in the north, so he planned to end the trip early.

However, Xiang Songmao must meet him, Du Yuesheng must also look for him privately, and
He turned to look at Zhang Nianyue and said, "We've been away from home for a few months. Should we go back to Gusu and meet the two old men?"

Bao Guowei was naturally talking about his father, Lao Bao, and his father-in-law and master, Zhang Taiyan.

Zhang Nianyue curled her lips and said, "Forget about Old Man Zhang. He keeps nagging as he gets older. He makes people dizzy."

Bao Guowei burst out laughing.

As they were talking, they left the venue earlier than the guests who were watching the movie.

Many people were still talking in the meeting room, saying how regretful they were that they had not seen Bao Bingwen today, but they did not know that Bao Guowei had already left quietly.

Bao Guowei had his own house in the Shanghai International Settlement, so he didn't have to stay in a hotel when he came to Shanghai.

Just as I was about to get on the bus, I saw a gentleman in a long gown running towards me at the end of the street.

If you didn’t know, you would think he missed the movie.

This gentleman is thin, has sallow skin, and is not tall, but he exudes an irresistible temperament.

Bao Guowei recognized him from a distance.

If it’s not Brother Xun, then who is it?
He immediately went to meet him, walked up to Brother Xun and said, "Brother Xun, why are you in such a hurry? The movie is over."

But Xun Ge'er ran too fast and bent over, gasping for breath.

Bao Guowei had no choice but to pat him on the back to help him calm down.

But when the other party took a breath, Bao Guowei saw tears on Xun Ge'er's face.

His eyes were bloodshot and his eye bags were blue.

Xun Ge'er suddenly grabbed Bao Guowei's shoulders, and his thin body burst out with great strength.

When Bao Guowei saw this scene, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He immediately frowned and said seriously.

"What's the matter? Sir, just tell me what you want to say!"

Xun Ge'er didn't waste any words. He took two breaths, clenched his teeth tightly, and even his shoulders were shaking slightly. He spoke in a sad tone.

"Bingwen! The sky has fallen in Jianghuai!

News came by telegram that just this evening, lake tsunamis occurred in Gaoyou, Hongze and Shaobo lakes in Jianghuai Province and the lake embankments collapsed.

The situation in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is not optimistic either.”

"What?!" Bao Guowei felt like he was struck by a bolt from the blue and was stunned.

It shouldn’t be!

The Jianghuai flood shouldn’t have happened so soon!

He shouted in his heart.

But I heard Xun Ge'er saying in my ear again.

"The flood is so fierce that people will be displaced wherever it hits. From Jingchu to Jianghuai, tens of millions of people will suffer a devastating disaster in an instant!

Now, looking at the whole world, the person who has the ability to help the disaster victims is none other than you, Bingwen!"
