After Daniel Lewis finished speaking, he looked at Wu Jianye, feeling very proud of his decision. Yesterday in the revolving restaurant of the TV Tower, he was slapped in the face by Wu Jianye with his song "One Summer's Day". Today, he was slapped in the face by Wu Jianye again.
Humiliation, this is what Daniel Lewis thinks about himself.
He wanted to find a place for himself, but there was no good way. It was during the Berlin Film Festival. Even if he was a Hollywood superstar, this was still the stage for participating films, so he couldn't think of a good way.
I have found a place for myself in the professional field.
Fortunately, he suddenly thought of the call that Sotheby's auction house had made to him. They would hold a spring auction in Berlin tomorrow. Since he couldn't find any other way in the professional field, he could only simply do it.
Cruelly crushed with money.
How much money can a Chinese director have? Even if he is Kun, apart from a best-selling album and several blockbuster movie scripts, he can't think of any other source of funds for Wu Jianye.
In the eyes of ordinary people, such a sum of money may be a huge sum of money, but in front of a figure like Daniel Lewis, it is not much.
As for Wu Jianye, he doesn't like Daniel Lewis at all. Even though he is a world-famous actor, he is still worthless to Wu Jianye.
So even though Daniel Lewis showed off his wealth last night, Wu Jianye didn't take it seriously and slapped him in the face on the spot, and the matter was over.
But now that Daniel Lewis has shown him face again, he is still doing what he is best at, and Wu Jianye cannot let him go.
When it comes to making movies, Wu Jianye still admires many people in the world, but when it comes to making money, everyone in the world counts, and Wu Jianye doesn't know who can bring pressure to him.
"Oh, by the way, I remembered that Sotheby's spring auction requires an invitation letter and a deposit. I wonder if Director Wu has an invitation letter. It would be a pity if he doesn't. In fact, I am also very interested in Huaxia
I am very interested in Chinese culture, and so is that antique. Looking at the Chinese shareholders, I have no choice but to take it back to the United States, just like other Chinese antiques."
Daniel Lewis laughed.
At this time, anyone could hear the disdain in Daniel Lewis's tone. Only He Qing knew some English, but Daniel Lewis spoke very quickly and had a large amount of information. He did not understand it and seemed a little confused.
When Zhang Manyu was about to argue with Daniel Lewis, Wu Jianye grabbed Zhang Manyu's arm, then faced Daniel Lewis, smiled and said: "You don't need to worry about this, I think tomorrow's auction will definitely
It will be very interesting!”
Daniel Lewis also laughed: "I think so too!"
Although Isabel Adjani thought this was inappropriate, Daniel Lewis was her boyfriend after all, and it was hard for her to say anything in public. She just said softly to Daniel Lewis when the two left, "My dear, we don't have to
Such!"
Daniel Lewis patted Isabel Adjani's hand and said: "It's okay, I just want to teach that Chinese director a lesson. Don't worry, I won't do anything to him!"
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Wu Jianye said goodbye to Bruno Nuitton with a smile without changing his expression.
When they returned to the hotel, He Qing also found out what happened just now from Zhang Manyu's mouth.
Arriving at Wu Jianye’s room.
Wu Jianye just put down the phone and saw He Qing looking a little nervous and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Director Wu, are you going to attend the auction tomorrow?" He Qing asked softly.
Wu Jianye nodded: "Yes, since there are treasures from our country, it is natural to take them home!"
He Qing thought for a moment, took out some marks from the bag he brought, handed them to Wu Jianye, and said: "Director Wu, these are the marks I exchanged before coming to Berlin. Although they are not many, they can still help a little.
busy."
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "So you are worried that I don't have enough money. When you came just now, Zhang Manyu didn't dissuade you!"
He Qing didn't know his own details because he was in China, but Zhang Manyu, as an actor in Xiangjiang, couldn't possibly not know his own details.
He Qing nodded and said: "I told you, she said she didn't need to worry me, and she didn't tell me the reason, but I think anything can happen at the auction, and it's always a good idea to bring more money!"
Wu Jianye nodded. It seemed that Zhang Manyu understood that he was the boss behind the scenes in Xiangjiang, and he didn't want to cause too much trouble at home, so Zhang Manyu just persuaded He Qing not to worry, but did not tell He Qing the details.
reason.
"Don't worry, you won't spend much money at the auction. You should keep the money to buy some gifts for your mother!"
Wu Jianye naturally couldn't take He Qing's money, so he smiled and asked He Qing to take the money back.
When He Qing returned to her and Zhang Manyu's room, Zhang Manyu looked at He Qing with a smile and said: "How about it, I say Director Wu won't want it, you, don't worry, that Daniel Lewis is just looking for death."
."
Then Zhang Manyu said angrily: "I used to like Daniel Lewis as an actor, but I didn't expect him to be such a person. I don't like him at all anymore!"
He Qing sat on his bed, looked at Zhang Manyu worriedly, and asked, "Will it really be okay?"
Zhang Manyu walked up to He Qing and said with a smile: "Just be careful!"
The next day!
Early in the morning, Matthew Murphy came to Wu Jianye's room and gave him an invitation to Sotheby's spring auction.
"Director Wu, everything is ready. Do you have any other instructions?"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said with a smile, "No need."
"Okay, then if Director Wu has any instructions in the future, just call me!"
"OK!"
For other people, an invitation to a Sotheby's auction might be very rare, but for Wu Jianye, it was just a phone call away.
While dining in the restaurant in the morning, Wu Jianye once again saw Daniel Lewis and Isabel Adjani, who were also staying in the hotel.
After Daniel Lewis saw Wu Jianye, he came over with a smile and said: "Director Wu, would you like me to take you into the auction? I still have some friendship with the senior management of Sotheby's."
Wu Jianye didn't even raise his head, but said lightly: "No need."
Daniel Lewis smiled and left. In his opinion, this was just Wu Jianye's last struggle.
Wu Jianye finished breakfast first and left the restaurant.
Daniel Lewis looked at Wu Jianye's back, smiled and said nothing.
Soon Daniel Lewis and Isabel Adjani also finished breakfast, and the car service they booked was already waiting at the door of the hotel.
The two got in the car and headed directly to the Sotheby's spring auction.
As one of the most famous auctions in the world, the specifications of Sotheby's spring auction will naturally not be low. It can be said that many well-known collectors have gathered here today.
Daniel Lewis and Isabelle Adjani may be the most well-known people on the scene, but they are definitely not the richest. In front of these big guys, even Daniel Lewis can only bend down to shake hands with each other, or take the initiative to offer
own smile.
However, when he saw Wu Jianye sitting in the venue, he was still slightly stunned. He did not expect that Wu Jianye actually came in.
But Daniel Lewis was relieved immediately. After all, Wu Jianye is still well-known in Europe and the United States. In order to increase his reputation, Sotheby's Auction House would ask Wu Jianye to participate in this spring auction of Sotheby's Auction House.
Yes, the other party will probably give the green light.
There is no need to go into too much detail about the process of the auction. Everyone who comes to participate in the auction will receive an introduction to the items in this auction.
In fact, before the preparations for the auction began, this had been delivered to everyone who was going to attend the auction, so many people just held it without looking at it.
Wu Jianye only learned about this auction yesterday, so now he is watching the introduction of the items in today's auction with great interest.
Among them, the one that interests Wu Jianye the most is naturally the Chinese antiques mentioned by Daniel Lewis before.
This is a gilt bronze seated Buddha statue from the Ming Dynasty. There is also an introduction to the seated statue on it.
There are not only Chinese antiques at this auction, but also European antiques. Wu Jianye saw in the album a snake-shaped emerald inlaid piece given to Queen Victoria by Prince Albert during the Victorian period.
engagement ring.
The spirit snake symbolized eternal love at that time.
There is also an oil painting called "Irises" by Van Gogh (this painting was actually put up for auction in 1988, but in order to serve the content of this book, it was postponed for a few months, please understand!
)
While Wu Jianye was reading the introduction, several white men in suits and ties walked into the auction house. One of them, a man in his early thirties with blond hair, walked in front and was obviously the leader of these people.
When Daniel Lewis saw him, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stood up in his seat and walked over with Isabel Adjani.
"Mr. Johnson, I didn't expect you to come to this Sotheby's auction!" Daniel Lewis said with a smile.
"Mr. Johnson!" Isabel Adjani also greeted the other party with a smile.
"Haha, it turns out it's Daniel and Isabel. By the way, I remembered, Isabel is going to participate in this year's Berlin Film Festival!" Johnson laughed, but when he mentioned the Berlin Film Festival, Johnson's voice sounded a little uncomfortable.
nature.
"Yeah, I didn't expect Mr. Johnson to know about this, so what's your purpose this time?" Daniel Lewis asked.
The Johnson family's business in Los Angeles is very large, and its development has been rapid in recent years. Ten years ago, the Johnson family was just a small family in Los Angeles. However, after ten years of development, it has now become one of the leading businesses in Los Angeles.
One of the big families.
As the entertainment capital of North America, the Johnson family is naturally involved in the entertainment industry. However, they are not involved in the production industry. Instead, they are engaged in the theater chain and distribution business. Now they are one of the few theater chain companies in North America.
Daniel Johnson also seems to maintain a good relationship with the other party. After all, movies cannot do without the support of theaters.
Johnson smiled and said: "I came here this time to participate in this auction. My grandfather likes to collect antiques. This time I want to prepare a gift for him. As for the Berlin Film Festival, someone else is in charge!"
Johnson's grandfather likes to collect antiques, which is known throughout Hollywood. He is also the head of the Johnson family, and his descendants will naturally spare no effort to please him.
While chatting with them, Johnson was about to go to his place when he suddenly saw someone he really didn't want to see among the crowd coming to participate in the auction!
At this time, Wu Jianye also felt someone looking at him. When he raised his head, he also saw Johnson...
In fact, Wu Jianye did not recognize Johnson at first glance, but soon he remembered who Johnson was in Johnson's shocked eyes.
Mr. Chamber Pot!
The maker of Wu Jianye's first pot of gold, when Linda occasionally chatted with Wu Jianye, Wu Jianye also learned about Johnson's current situation. After traveling, Johnson began to return to his family and took over some businesses.
, slowly turned his attention to the distribution and theaters of the movie.
Relying on the strength of the family, Johnson has prospered and has now become the fifth largest theater chain company in the United States!
This does not exist in another time and space, and the effect of butterfly wings is becoming more and more obvious.
Then Wu Jianye smiled and waved to Johnson.
At this time, it was impossible for Johnson to leave when he saw Wu Jianye like he did in Xiangjiang. He just glared at Wu Jianye and shook his head.
To this day, Johnson still can't forget the loss he suffered from Wu Jianye. Whenever he sees Wu Jianye, he can remember how his grandfather hung him up and beat him.
Originally, he didn't want to come over today because he knew that Wu Jianye would also attend the Berlin Film Festival and didn't want to run into him. But who would have thought that Murphy's Law is so effective, the less you think about something, the more likely you will run into it.
Wu Jianye remained unmoved and continued to wave at Johnson.
Johnson had no choice but to walk to Wu Jianye. He was worried that Wu Jianye would call him, and he was also worried that Wu Jianye would tell the people around him about his original embarrassing incident.
Daniel Lewis naturally saw all this. When he saw Wu Jianye waving to them, his first thought was that Wu Jianye was waving to him. However, after seeing Johnson's reaction, he realized that they actually knew each other.
Then I saw Johnson walking over. Daniel Lewis, who was unaware of the situation, led Isabel Adjani and followed him.
Johnson walked up to Wu Jianye and said in a bad tone: "Why are you here?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Mr. Daniel invited me over!"
