Ma Guoliang took a closer look at the information on the waybill. It was indeed sent to him, so he stopped thinking about it, found a knife from the drawer and started to open the express delivery.
The delivery was small and felt like an envelope.
"Sure enough." After Ma Guoliang opened it, it was just as he expected. Inside was an envelope the size of A4 paper, and it looked like it had been carefully designed. The surface of the envelope was a poster from a long time ago, with many words and symbols on it. .
The symbols can still be recognized, including various heart shapes, but the words above are a bit difficult for Ma Guoliang to understand because he cannot read Japanese.
Ma Guoliang can probably understand now. It is probably something sent by fans.
He had received many envelopes like this before, but this was the first time he received a fan letter from Japan.
Ma Guoliang opened the envelope carefully along the easy-to-tear opening. He would take anything from fans seriously.
Inside the envelope were several photos and a letter.
"What should I do?" Ma Guoliang couldn't help scratching the back of his head as he looked at the letter. It was densely packed with Japanese characters, and there were two of them.
After thinking for a while, Ma Guoliang suddenly remembered a person, his assistant. He was a person who liked to read Japanese comics very much. He thought he might be able to understand, so he picked up his mobile phone and called his assistant.
Not long after, the assistant came to the office.
"Teacher Ma, what's the matter?"
Ma Guoliang said: "Can you understand Japanese?"
The assistant was slightly startled for a moment, and then said, "I can understand it better."
Although I have never really studied Japanese professionally, I can still understand some words because I have loved reading Japanese comics since I was a child.
"Here is a letter from Japan. Please read it for me."
The assistant took the letter, touched his nose, and said awkwardly: "I don't understand much. I only know that this is a letter written to you by a fan."
Although he likes to read Japanese comics, most of them read with Chinese subtitles, and he only knows a few of them. To him, these two densely packed pages are like a sacred book.
Ma Guoliang nodded and said, "Do you know who in our company can understand Japanese?"
This was the first time he received a letter from a foreign fan. He didn't want to put the letter away directly. He also wanted to know whether foreign fans would have the same view of him as domestic fans.
"Hey, I have a friend. I'm going to call him right now. Wait a moment." The agent turned around and left the office like a wind.
While Ma Guoliang was searching on the Internet, his assistant came in with someone.
"Teacher Ma, this is Xiao Liu. He has studied in Japan and knows Japanese well. He will definitely be able to understand the content above."
"Hello, Teacher Ma!" Xiao Liu looked a little nervous.
Even though we were in the same company, I only looked at Ma Guoliang from a distance. This was the first time for face-to-face communication like today.
Ma Guoliang picked up the letter and said, "Xiao Liu, I'm going to trouble you today. Please help me read what is written on this letter. We can't understand Japanese."
"Okay, Teacher Ma, Brother Ling just told me on the way here."
The assistant patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder and said, "Please translate it for Teacher Ma. This is a letter from a foreign fan."
Xiao Liu nodded "yes", glanced at it first, had a general understanding of the content of the letter, and translated the content sentence by sentence.
"I don't know if I can receive this letter, but I decided to give it a try. I became your fan when I saw "The Truman Show", and I wanted to write a letter to express my appreciation. You love..."
Ma Guoliang listened carefully on the side, becoming more and more surprised.
What the letter probably tells is that this Japanese fan, after watching "The Truman Show", has watched all the works in which Ma Guoliang has participated, and even knows his past experiences clearly. This time "Forrest Gump" was released at a time when she had underestimated her life. She had just been fired from her company and was anxious about finding a new job all day long. After watching the movie, she found her life goal again.
It is precisely for this reason that this fan's impulse to write a letter was strengthened.
The letter also stated that even if Ma Guoliang did not receive it, he would insist on writing one every day, and hoped that Ma Guoliang could sign the photos on the envelope and send it back to her.
After Xiao Liu finished reading the letter, the office was extremely quiet.
Ma Guoliang is very happy. This is the meaning of movies for him, and it can influence the audience through film and television works.
After "The Truman Show" and "Forrest Gump" were released simultaneously around the world, they performed better than other film and television works, which was also due to the spirit conveyed by the movies themselves.
"The Truman Show" makes people want to go out and see the outside world and break the shackles in all aspects. As an inspirational movie, "Forrest Gump" is a great encouragement to fans who are experiencing anxiety.
"Teacher Ma, that's all the content in this letter."
Ma Guoliang calmed down, stretched out his hand and said happily: "Thank you! Xiao Liu."
"You're welcome."
Xiao Liu nervously held Ma Guoliang's hand and was a little excited when he spoke: "You're welcome, Teacher Ma. If you have any letters in Japanese in the future, you can come to me."
He judged from the letter that this fan would definitely continue to write letters, and he could also take this opportunity to get along with his idol.
Now Ma Guoliang's influence abroad is growing, and he may become a world-class star.
"Then I'll trouble you from now on."
"There's still work outside, so I'll go back first."
The assistant sent Xiao Liu out. Ma Guoliang picked up the letter. Although he couldn't understand it, he could tell that the fans were serious when writing the letter.
"That's right." Ma Guoliang stood up and returned to the computer, picked up a pen and signed several photos, and also wrote words of encouragement to fans: I hope you can find a new job soon, come on!
After the assistant came back, he sent back these signed photos.
More than an hour later, the agent came back from the meeting.
"Teacher Ma, has the express been opened?" He has been thinking about the issue of the express because Ma Guoliang himself doesn't know anything and is afraid that something bad will happen.
"It was a letter sent from a Japanese fan."
"letter?"
Ma Guoliang briefly recounted the contents of the letter.
After hearing this, the manager was very happy. Being able to receive letters from foreign fans shows that Ma Guoliang's influence abroad is growing.
"Teacher Ma, this is a very good thing for you."
Ma Guoliang nodded and said: "I am very happy that the film can influence the audience. I hope that "Forrest Gump" can inspire more people."
The more the agent thought about it, the more excited he became. In terms of global influence, Ma Guoliang is about to become the number one actor in China.
After the two chatted in the office for a while, the agent left.
Ma Guoliang put the letter away and placed it in a conspicuous place on the table, planning to take it home when he went back in the evening.
He will carefully collect anything given by fans.
When Ma Guoliang was about to continue studying how to improve his acting skills, Xu Nuo came over.
"What is Teacher Ma busy with?"
Ma Guoliang shook the book in his hand and said, "Think about it, continue to improve your acting skills, and find out the problems with you."
Xu Nuo sat down on the chair opposite Ma Guoliang and said: "Teacher Ma, outsiders say that your acting skills are getting better and better now, but how do they know about your private efforts? An actor who has reached your status can Write your own book on acting."
"It's still early for me to write a book. Living and learning is the mentality we should always maintain."
"I learned it, I learned it." Xu Nuo said, "Hey, what is this? Your poster?"
The location was very conspicuous, and Xu Nuo noticed the envelope on the table at a glance.
"No, it was an envelope sent from abroad. A fan wrote to me."
"Oh." Xu Nuo said with a surprised look on his face: "It's amazing, my teacher Ma can now receive letters from overseas fans."
Ma Guoliang smiled and said nothing.
Xu Nuo looked at some words written on the envelope and said, "Yes, "The Truman Show" did very well at the time, and now "Forrest Gump" is No. 1 on the real-time global movie box office rankings. Foreign countries There must be a lot of fans.”
"In the end, I still have to thank Mr. Tan. The concepts of both movies are great, and that's why I have achieved the results I have now."
Xu Nuo put the envelope in his hand back to its original position and said: "We received letters from foreign fans, we must have a drink to celebrate."
Ma Guoliang said with a smile: "If you want to drink with me, just say so. Why don't you make excuses? It's not like I won't agree."
Xu Nuo shook his head pretendingly and said with a bad smile: "It's different. This way you will be the protagonist today and you can drink more in the evening. People like me who can't drink well have to drink less."
"Okay, I'll drink more today. I won't get home until I'm drunk."
Ma Guoliang was very happy to receive letters from foreign fans. What made him even more happy was that the movie inspired the audience, which was his long-standing dream to be an actor.
Ma Guoliang asked: "Is it just the two of us?"
"Acan is still out filming and can't come back. I'll go ask Mr. Tan later to see if he has time." Xu Nuo stood up and said, "I'll go over first."
Xu Nuo came directly to Tan Yue's office.
"Do you have time tonight? Let's have a drink with Lao Ma and the three of us."
"You go and drink. I really can't leave, so I won't go with you."
Although "Forrest Gump" ranks first on the list, the box office gap between it and the second place is very small, and it may be overtaken at any time.
Tan Yue didn't want to know that "Thunder Man" must be intensively exaggerated and promoted.
At this juncture, anything could happen, so Tan Yue would naturally not drink. Moreover, the filming of "Hurry" is about to be completed, and he needs to keep an eye on it here too.
"Okay then, I'll go back first." Xunuo also knew the importance of Tan Yue's current work, and he didn't think carefully today.
When Xu Nuo opened the door and was about to leave, Tan Yue reminded: "You two drink less."
Xu Nuo made an 'ok' gesture and left.

With the popularity of "Forrest Gump", many film reviews have appeared on Weibo. The review with the highest number of likes currently reads:
"The creation of the image of Forrest Gump subverts the image of heroes in the normal world, runs counter to traditional concepts, and is strongly anti-traditional and anti-mainstream. What he sees, hears, says and does is not only highly representative, but also a reflection of the A direct illustration of history.”
"Of course this is an inspirational movie, but I also think it's an educational movie."
"Forrest Gump has a low IQ and simple thoughts, so his growing environment is very important. He needs people with upright views to guide him. Obviously he is lucky. His mother and his girlfriend gave him enough love when he was growing up. Encourage him, support him, let him distinguish between good and evil, and that’s how he becomes successful.”
"Overall, the plot of the entire movie is very good! It's coherent! The acting is also good! The story is very impressive!"
"I have watched this movie three times, and I am still moved every time I watch Forrest Gump. It makes people feel that everything in the world is so beautiful. As long as everyone guards the beliefs in their hearts and persists, they will have a bright future. Only pure pursuit can lead to happiness.”
There have been more than 50,000 comments from netizens below.
"Stupid people have stupid blessings. In fact, this is not the case. In my opinion, Forrest Gump's mother is the greatest person. Many ordinary people give up their children with low IQs early and do not let them go to school or interact with others. Contact may be to protect your child, but in the future, the child will be useless..."
"The image of Forrest Gump running should remain in the hearts of many people."
"'Forrest Gump' is the most heartwarming movie I have ever seen."
"Forrest Gump escaped from his own haze and found a new life! This is a very inspirational drama that made me re-examine myself and gave me more courage!"
"This is a life I will never reach. I'm not determined enough or persistent enough."
"But I still feel that he is lonely. When he runs too fast, no one can keep up with him, and when he stops, everyone around him leaves him one by one."
With the current popularity of "Forrest Gump", as long as the movie reviews are exciting and true enough, they will get huge traffic.
As a film critic with more than 10 million fans, Wang Lotte has not yet published any film reviews related to "Forrest Gump", and anxious fans have already started urging him below.
"Boss! If we don't urge you, you really don't want to write!"
"Can you learn from other bloggers and write movie reviews after watching the movie?"
"Don't rush everyone. Only old fans know that although Da Lao's film review is late, it will definitely arrive. I just don't know when it will be released. Give the blogger some time to work slowly and carefully."
"Da Lao has always been very slow in reviewing movies. He is also responsible for what he writes. If you continue to persevere, I believe you won't have to wait too long."
"Among all the film critics, this blogger's film review is the one I look forward to the most. I hope that a film review of "Forrest Gump" will come out soon."

Suzhou.
After breakfast, Wang Letian opened his Weibo, looked at the fans' urging in the message area, and smiled lightly, he had long been used to it.
