Zhang Dongcheng heard the words, smiled wryly, and said: "Yes! I still haven't gained anything. My biggest headache now is that I can't contact the people who are useful. No matter how long it is with those pawns, it's useless!"

Yuan Heping pondered for a moment, and said: "Boss, maybe I have a method that is not a solution. I don't know if it will work."

"What way? Baye, just say what you think." Zhang Dongcheng looked at Yuan Heping expectantly, hoping to get some useful news from him.

"You can try to contact the embassy. Maybe this can be done through the embassy!" Yuan Heping said tentatively.

embassy? Zhang Dongcheng pondered. I have to say that Yuan Heping's idea is indeed very good. But which embassy should I contact?

Zhang Dongcheng still holds Chinese nationality. Is it the Chinese embassy or the US? Or maybe the UK?

"Boss, it's 1997 now!" Yuan Heping reminded him without further ado.

But this sentence is like a revelation, which makes Zhang Dongcheng's eyes light up. Yes, it is 97 years now. And it is still close to the end of May, which means that Hong Kong will return to China in less than one and a half months!

At this time, I believe that if you go to the Chinese embassy, ​​they will definitely help you. Not to mention anything else, just his reputation in the film industry is enough to get help from the embassy. Furthermore, the nationality I hold now is Chinese. And wasn't it because of domestic help that Zhang Dongcheng finally got the chance to stand out in Cannes?

"I understand!" Zhang Dongcheng cheered up and said, "I'll contact the Huaxia embassy tomorrow!"

A big country, can it be less face-saving than Warner Bros.? As long as Huaxia dares to come forward, the no-fly zone may not be a problem.

Early the next morning, Zhang Dongcheng brought Adaman to the Chinese embassy in Australia.

After reporting his identity, Zhang Dongcheng was received by the ambassador soon.

"Mr. Zhang, hello, I have been admiring your name for a long time! In the past two years, Mr. Zhang has been very popular in the international film industry, and he has really given our country a face!" The current embassy plenipotentiary ambassador is Mr. Hua Junze.

Mr. Hua Lao is a professional diplomat who came to Australia in the 1970s. Since 1993, he has been serving as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Embassy of the Commonwealth of Australia.

"Hello, Mr. Hua!" Zhang Dongcheng did not dare to act presumptuously in front of this old man. Hastily reached out and shook hands with each other.

After the two parties sat down, Mr. Hua asked Zhang Dongcheng while the secretary was pouring tea: "Shouldn't Mr. Zhang develop in the United States now? How did he come to Australia? Could it be that he came to the embassy this time to Ask for help?" Mr. Hua finally made a joke. Apparently he didn't think there was anything Zhang Dongcheng needed to ask the embassy for help.

Zhang Dongcheng nodded seriously, and said with a bit of grievance in his tone: "Mr. Hua, you are right, I did develop in the United States, and this time I came to Australia to film a new movie. And This time, I came to the embassy to ask for help!"

"Oh?" Mr. Hua became serious, and said with concentration: "Tell me, what can I help you with?"

"The thing is like this!" Zhang Dongcheng immediately told Mr. Hua about his current predicament, and then waited for his reply with some anxiety.

Mr. Hua pondered for a moment, and said: "This issue involves Australia's internal affairs. I believe you also understand our country's foreign policy. As an ambassador, it is really difficult for me to interfere. But I can introduce you to Mary Ms. Bashir. I think she should be able to give you some help!"

Zhang Dongcheng still doesn't know that this Mary Bashir will become the governor of New South Wales in March 2001. As long as he can get her help, the helicopter matter will be solved immediately.

Zhang Dongcheng, who didn't know all this, was inevitably disappointed when he learned that Mr. Hua couldn't provide help, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Without further ado, Mr. Hua made an appointment with Mary Bashir after drinking a cup of tea in the embassy.

In the afternoon, Zhang Dongcheng and Adaman met Ms. Mary Bashir under the recommendation of Mr. Hua.

As the referrer, Mr. Hua left alone after completing the task. After all, he is an ambassador of a country, and time is very tight, so it is the best of humanity to accompany Zhang Dongcheng to introduce Mary Bashir for him. Where is the time to accompany them all the way down.

After Mr. Hua left. Mary Bashir looked Zhang Dongcheng up and down, and asked: "Mr. Smith, I like your movies very much, especially the love affair between Imerton and Ansuna in The Mummy is so touching!"

"Thank you! It is my honor to make Ms. Mary like my movie!" Zhang Dongcheng replied politely. At the same time, he began to recall information about the old woman in front of him in his mind.

Mary Bashir. Born in New South Wales in December 1930. This year is sixty-seven years old! She is an out-and-out old lady.

She graduated from the University of Sydney in 1956 with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. My first job after graduation was as a pediatrician in a public hospital in Sydney. During her time as a pediatrician, she once visited China alone. I have a strong affection for China. This goodwill accompanied her several visits to China afterwards!

After that, he taught at the University of Sydney and the University of New South Wales, and served as the honorary president of the University of Sydney from 2007 to 2012.

In March 2001, she was appointed governor of New South Wales, becoming the first female governor of the state, and was re-elected several times. In 1988, he was awarded the Order of Australia (AC) by the Australian government.

In 2004, he was awarded an honorary member by the United Nations Women's Development Foundation. In 2006, he was awarded the Royal Higher Order of Victoria (CVO) by Queen Elizabeth II.

From the fact that Mary Bashir will become the first female governor of New South Wales in the future, we can see her power in the government department. With her help, Zhang Dongcheng believes that the helicopter issue can definitely be resolved smoothly. Of course, this premise is that Mary Bashir agrees to help.

"I don't know if Mr. Smith is looking for me this time. What's the matter?" After all, she is an important government official. It is impossible for Mary Bashir to accompany Zhang Dongcheng to chat about his movies and gossip. Let's get to the point.

"The thing is like this!" After Zhang Dongcheng described the predicament he was encountering to Mary Bashir, he waited impatiently for her to come up with a solution.

Mary Bashir didn't agree or refuse, but became thoughtful instead. This made Zhang Dongcheng's heart suddenly lifted. He looked at her anxiously. I am afraid of hearing rejection from the other party.

If even Marie Bashir can't do anything about it, what Dongcheng said is really going to discard the previous film and shoot in another place!

After a while, Mary Bashir suddenly laughed and said: "Mr. Smith, this issue involves the laws of New South Wales after all, and I cannot make decisions on my own. I need to discuss with other government departments. Please communicate and coordinate with others. If possible, how about leaving me a contact information? I will notify you later when there is a result."

"Of course!" Zhang Dongcheng's face was calm, but he was relieved in his heart. He didn't directly refuse, which means there is still hope! Let's hope it works this time!

After leaving the contact information for Mary Bashir, the serious business was finished, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries again, before Zhang Dongcheng and Adaman left.

Out of the gate, after walking to the parking lot, Adaman frowned, and said to Zhang Dongcheng with some uneasiness: "Hey! Smith, where are we going now?"

"Go back!" Zhang Dongcheng walked quickly to the car, opened the door and said, "It's useless for us to be anxious now. But I believe that Ms. Mary Bashir will not let us down!"

"Is this woman really okay?" Adaman, who doesn't know much about Australian politics, has always been unable to rest assured of Mary Bashir.

"If she can't do it, we can only change to another location and re-shoot the previous scenes!" Zhang Dongcheng said half-jokingly.

"This..." Adaman opened his mouth, but seeing Zhang Dongcheng's calm look, he felt relieved for no reason.

Zhang Dongcheng's self-confidence infected him. Adaman and Zhang Dongcheng have known each other for so long, Zhang Dongcheng has never let him down, Zhang Dongcheng has always been so confident, as if everything is clear in his chest, and the winning ticket is in his hands! It's incredibly reassuring.

This is why many people voluntarily follow him. Because they believe that Zhang Dongcheng can bring them success! Perhaps it is somewhat utilitarian to say this, but it is undeniable that the purpose of those who follow Zhang Dongcheng is nothing more than to realize their dreams and pursue their own personal value. And Zhang Dongcheng is the one who can bring them all this!

With the future information obtained from the old TV, Zhang Dongcheng is like a train on the track. During the journey to the destination of his dream, he will not lose his way and will not take any detours. Some like-minded people joined his express train, which made Zhang Dongcheng even more unstoppable.

He has the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people, all three of which are in his hands. There is no reason for the possibility of failure.

I had nothing to say all the way until I got back to the hotel where I was staying. Zhang Dongcheng caught sight of Yuan Heping who was smoking in the corridor outside his door.

From the dozens of cigarette butts scattered on the floor, it can be seen that Yuan Heping has been waiting here for a long time.

"Ba Ye. Are you waiting for me?" Zhang Dongcheng walked over with a smile on his face.

"Boss! How's it going?" Hearing Zhang Dongcheng's voice, Yuan Heping regained his energy and walked up to him quickly. Some nervously asked: "What did Mr. Hua say?"

"Let's go in and talk!" Zhang Dongcheng took out his room card, opened the door and entered the room.

"I have already met Mr. Hua, but you should know the domestic foreign policy. It is impossible for him to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries!"

Before Zhang Dongcheng could finish speaking, Yuan Heping's face darkened suddenly, and his voice was a little trembling: "Could it be a failure?"
