As for the last thing, Alain Delon has another advantage that Ning Weimin particularly admires, which is his superhuman self-control.
This is something Ning Weimin just discovered from Alain Delon.
This guy really does what he says and does what he says.
For example, after coming out of the casino, Alain Delon promised him not to go back, but he really didn't go back.
This kind of ability is not something ordinary people can have.
To be honest, Ning Weimin has also been to Macau, and he himself has been a "Red and Blue Warrior".
Although he was a small player and not very addicted, he had experienced the excitement of gambling and the various means used by public relations agencies to please him, and he knew how powerful this temptation was.
You must know that in a casino, it is not just the losers who are unwilling to leave, but the winners are even more so.
The more fun you play and the more you win, the more reluctant you are to wake up from your sweet dream and let go of such good luck.
In fact, it is very rare for people to be able to give up when something is good in a casino.
When most people win money, they still understand it even though they are in front of them. After changing the chips, they happily take the money away. That is because they are tired of playing.
The so-called consciousness is only temporary and cannot last more than three hours.
They often go out to have a meal, take a bath, have fun, relax, and wait for food, clothing, and all kinds of desires to be satisfied. Once they feel refreshed, they immediately fall into confusion again.
Many people have even bought air tickets and ferry tickets, and can't wait to check in their luggage. There are many people who have temporarily changed their minds and want to go back and fight for a few more rounds.
Naturally, there is only one result.
Just return the money to the casino with interest, and then leave in despair until your pockets are clean.
Even Ning Weimin himself, if it hadn't been for cheating, would be playing games every day where he could cheat openly, win but not lose, and gain huge amounts of money.
For him, this kind of gambling game that gives the casino an advantage has no appeal at all. Due to Alain Delon's situation, he may not be able to resist the addiction of continuing to win money and expand his results.
Therefore, his advice to Alain Delon at the beginning was just what he wanted, without any real hope that he could do it.
But after eating and shopping, Ning Weimin saw that Alain Delon still showed no sign of being restless.
Instead, he took them to the cafe again, and then slowly started making phone calls, patiently trying various channels to get in touch with Catherine Deneuve, and arranging a meeting with Ning Weimin.
Ning Weimin was moved and admired, but he also became curious, wondering how Alain Delon controlled himself.
So in order to test, Ning Weimin deliberately said, "Mr. Delong, you have taken up too much of your time today. Thank you very much for your help and hospitality. In fact, you don't need to spend any more time with us. I
My wife and I are already very grateful. It's still early now, so if you have other arrangements or want to do some entertainment, please feel free to do so. We can get together another day."
Unexpectedly, Alain Delon actually saw through his mind and immediately laughed knowingly.
"Don't worry, my friend, I won't go to the casino again today. Since I promised you, I will definitely keep my promise. Maybe in a few days, I will try my luck with tens of thousands of francs again.
Once I lose, I will leave without hesitation, that's it. Maybe you don't know me well enough. I like to find excitement and all kinds of enjoyment, but I can control most addictive things.
.Smoking, drinking, gambling, shopping, hunting, going to sea, and women, it’s all in moderation.”
"Oh, is that really true?" Ning Weimin's tone still expressed reserved belief, "Can you control these?"
Alain Delon spread his hands and expressed his affirmation.
"It's true. If I couldn't do this, then my forty-eight hours a day wouldn't be enough. I'd probably die of overindulgence long ago. Maybe I'd leave hundreds of illegitimate children in this world. To be honest, this world
Go on, I'm afraid there's only one thing I can't control..."
"What is it?"
"emotion."
Ning Weimin couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this answer.
Alain Delon continued to add, "People's feelings are uncontrollable. That is what I fear the most and cannot give up. My friend, I have tried countless times. No matter how you initially
Think about it, no matter how careful the plan is, whether you are determined to execute it ruthlessly, as long as you mix in emotional factors, things will always be beyond your control in the end. This is the biggest experience I have in this life. That’s why I
I will stay away from women, and I never want to get married. Of course, if I have hurt anyone, then I should be considered a bad person. Yes, I do not deny this. But I also want to avoid these things as much as possible,
I even got slapped by a woman for refusing. In fact, I am not the kind of cruel and nasty person. You know, my original intention was not to be like this, especially for those women who really love me. In the end, I
I often fall in love with them, but the result is that things become more complicated and worse..."
He actually said these words with a cynical expression, as if he was making fun of himself with the well-known dirt on him.
But for some reason, Ning Weimin read some seriousness in his eyes.
With a few simple words, it was as if Ning Weimin could see the countless secrets buried in him and the stories on his life journey.
This feeling is quite magical.
Anyway, no matter how you put it, being able to do such things and say such words, Alain Delon's image in Ning Weimin's mind is completely different from the past.
It makes people think and wonder whether the choices Aradron made on emotional issues back then were based on specific circumstances and had his own unique considerations.
If you take into account his career achievements and property issues, he spends money so lavishly, but he has never had a financial crisis.
This kind of Alain Delon cannot be the kind of conceited, romantic, cold, selfish, and empty-hearted person that the outside world has always rumored.
On the contrary, Ning Weimin was able to conclude that Alan Delon was actually a very shrewd person with a clear mind and strong willpower.
It's just that these characteristics of his have probably been hidden in gossipy news and ordinary people's prejudice against him for many years.
And perhaps because he was also a poor boy, Ning Weimin could even feel the two completely opposite contradictory emotions of self-confidence and inferiority from Alain Delon.
This seems to be the similarity between the two of them.
Perhaps they can become friends who have been friends for many years because they can feel this familiar flavor from each other.
This is Ning Weimin's new definition of Alain Delon after his refreshed understanding - a very capable, familiar with the local situation in France, good at friendship, but deeply misunderstood by the outside world, and a partner who can basically be trusted and relied on.
.
And for such people, it would certainly be reassuring if they could work together.
why not?
Ning Weimin already had a clear idea at this time. He planned to have a good talk with Alain Delon after the opening of the Cannes Film Festival and when everything was on track.
??????55.??????
In addition to cooperating with "Crazy Rich Asians", he also intends to make some real estate and business investments on the coast of France, and may be able to recruit Alain Delon as a partner.
And it's not over yet.
Not surprisingly, with Alain Delon's hard work and promotion, Ning Weimin finally got in touch with Catherine Deneuve, and soon heard Catherine Deneuve's welcome on the phone in the cafe.
His cordial greetings.
This woman, known as the "Director's Harvester" and the "First Lady of the European Film Industry," may seem like a very important figure in the French film industry, but she is actually quite friendly.
Like Alain Delon, she has not forgotten their friendship in the capital and treats him as a friend who once took her to travel throughout the capital.
Although her team had just arrived in Cannes and would attend the opening ceremony tomorrow, and had many important events today, Ning Weimin still could not be left aside.
On the phone, she invited him to bring his wife and Alain Delon to the private room of the hotel where she stayed at night to attend a small private party salon organized by her.
Catherine said that in addition to meeting people from the organizing committee, she also had to get together with some friends from European film companies, all of whom have great influence on the Cannes Film Festival.
As long as Ning Weimin shows up, gets to know these people, and has a light meal, he will definitely gain something.
Sure enough, Ning Weimin took Matsumoto Keiko to the appointment on time in the evening. Under the guidance of two big French stars, they met the chairman of this year's jury, the famous French movie star and singer Yves Montand, and the French national treasure actor Fili.
Po Noiret, César Award-winning actress Catherine Deneuve, Oscar-winning actor Jon Voight, French producer Pierre Edelman of Organa Films, and
Paolo Giante, owner of Medusa Films in Italy.
Although the presence of Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko is not high in this meal, in front of these European movie bosses, they are just two strange guests from the East. They are young and unfamiliar, and they do not understand French or French customs.
and etiquette.
In fact, in this era of cultural background where the East and the West lack mutual understanding, it is not easy to find common topics. Even if they want to say something polite and compliment each other, it is a bit embarrassing to find something to focus on.
.
On the contrary, it was easier for them to strike up a conversation with Alain Delon's little girlfriend.
However, Catherine Deneuve's words are really not exaggerated.
Human feelings are human feelings, and face is face.
Catherine Deneuve's warm hospitality as the hostess and Alain Delon's helpful recommendation played a big role, which was equivalent to their effective endorsement of Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko.
So instead of looking at the monk's face and looking at the Buddha's face, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko easily obtained the movie tickets for the opening ceremony of the film festival tomorrow and the invitation to attend the post-screening dinner from the chairman of the jury, Yves Montand.
Although only the movie tickets were free, Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko had to spend an additional 50,000 francs for the dinner.
But this thing is commonly known as a red carpet ticket.
Decades later, any Chinese who has even a little knowledge of the Cannes Film Festival will know how scarce Cannes Film Festival tickets and dinner invitations are in the industry.
This has also led to many filmmakers spending huge sums of money on tickets in order to appear on the red carpet.
Even because an industry chain has been formed, some people specialize in selling this qualification.
The price of just one ticket can reach tens of thousands of euros, and the price of a dinner party can be five times that.
Not to mention that this year is a little different. With the presence of the Prince of Wales and his wife, this Cannes Film Festival is destined to attract the attention of the world's media.
However, Ning Weimin got the opportunity to walk on the same red carpet as the British royal family representatives at tomorrow's opening ceremony without any effort. This shows how valuable favors in an industry are.
Ning Weimin is indeed lucky. Having these two French movie stars as friends is like giving the couple one million francs each for free.
Not only is it beneficial to their film claims, but it also has a role that cannot be ignored in improving their social status, expanding their influence, and helping them get in touch with European celebrity circles.
And that's not to mention, representatives from two French and Italian film companies have promised to go to the theater to watch the movie "Li Xianglan" during the screening.
There is no doubt that such a harvest is a huge pie that Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko had never even thought about before they came here. They are really overjoyed.
It was really not in vain that Feining Weimin came to France this time and brought a gold lighter co-branded by Pierre Cardin and Goldlion as a gift to Alain Delon and Catherine Deneuve. The other party's reciprocation made him a lot of money.
To put it bluntly, there is really not much difference between the French people's human relations and the current domestic situation.
No matter how small a thing is, it's difficult to handle it if you don't know someone, but it's easy to handle no matter how difficult it is if you know someone.
But is that all they get for partying here?
No, it still wasn't. In the middle of the party, when the hotel waiter was recommending La Rozburg wine to everyone in Catherine's room, a guest who had arrived late in the middle of the party barged in.
However, not only did all the guests in the audience not mind, but even the hostess personally came forward to hug and kiss him.
As a result, when Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko saw each other's faces clearly, they were both stunned on the spot.
Life is always full of chance encounters. This person was none other than David Bailey, the photographer who took the initiative to take photos of Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko at the beach yesterday.
It was then that both of them realized that they were not ordinary people.
Needless to say, the next topic naturally turned to them. After their respective statements, their chance encounter yesterday became a hotly discussed joke in the salon.
Only then did Ning Weimin figure out the quality of this photographer - one of the most outstanding and unique photographers in the UK and the ex-husband of Catherine Deneuve.
Because he can grasp almost all fashion trends, he is very famous in the industry. His works are enthusiastically sought after by European and American celebrities, and many of them are regarded as classics.
Not only has he taken photos for many well-known movie actors and fashion models in Europe and the United States, this time, he was even hired by the British royal family as the royal photographer of the Prince of Wales.
One can imagine how lucky it is to accidentally meet such a friend and be fortunate enough to be asked to take photos by this master photographer.
Just from Rosalie's attitude of worshiping David Bailey as God, and other film industry bosses all surrounding David and treating him as the central figure, Ning Weimin knew that he had unexpectedly gained another huge piece of gold.
At this time, maybe it was because the harvest was beyond imagination, or maybe because he drank too much wine, he just felt an indescribable pleasure surging around his body.
Waves of hot warmth rushed from the Dantian to the brain, then expanded to the limbs, and soon spread throughout the whole body.
He felt comfortable all over his body, from his thoughts to his life, from his soul to his body, everything was in full flow and full of joy.
