บท 384: The First Film

 The two crazy men were Director Gus and Director George, who had been sent there by Chuck.

 They had used their relations to contact the offices of Columbia University, with the intention to ask leave for Qin Guan in advance.

 As a leader of the American academic circle, Prof. Martin had reason to be proud. The two directors were both good negotiators though.
