The first people to find Wu Jianye were actually people from the Venice Film Festival.
Their idea is the same as that of the Berlin Film Festival, and they also want to invite Wu Jianye's "The World of Chu Xing" to participate in next year's Venice Film Festival!
"Wu, we are old friends. Your first film "Raise the Red Lantern" was introduced to the world at our Venice Film Festival. This time, on behalf of the Venice Film Festival, I sincerely invite your new film "
"The World of Chu Xing" will participate in our Venice Film Festival next year!"
Zhou Huimin was sitting next to Wu Jianye and watched as the organizers of these European A-level film festivals personally came to invite Wu Jianye to participate in their film festivals with his new films.
I also have a lot of emotions in my heart.
Although the film industry in Xiangjiang is developing very rapidly, the awards at film festivals have always been mediocre. It was not until the emergence of Wang Sunglasses in the past two years that Xiangjiang films opened the door to European film festivals.
But even so, Wang Sunglasses has not achieved anything in European film festivals so far.
Wu Jianye has not yet registered for his film, but he has already received invitations from two major film festivals. Moreover, Wu Jianye has not yet gone to France. If he goes to France, will the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival also invite Wu Jianye?
What about Jian Ye?
Wu Jianye responded to the Venice Film Festival invitation in the same way as the Berlin Film Festival. Wu Jianye left this matter to China Film Festival and directly removed himself.
The Venice Film Festival can be regarded as an old friend of Chinese films. They also understand some of the rules of Chinese films, but they still hope to fight for it. After all, the director of this film is Wu Jianye, although they don’t know Wu Jianye’s role in Chinese films.
Although he has a certain status in the industry, he definitely has a certain degree of say.
Wu Jianye once again expressed his gratitude to the Venice Film Festival for his persistence, but still did not relent.
In the end, Venice Film Festival officials had no choice but to shake hands with Wu Jianye and say goodbye.
After the organizers of the Venice Film Festival left, the second person who found Wu Jianye was a beautiful woman.
Esther Gambino!
"Wu, long time no see!" After Esther Gambino saw Wu Jianye, he didn't pay attention to Zhou Huimin next to Wu Jianye, and gave him a big hug. The majestic feeling remained undiminished.
"Long time no see!" Wu Jianye let go of Esther Gambino and pointed at the dazed Zhou Huimin next to him and said with a smile: "This is my girlfriend Zhou Huimin!".
Wu Jianye and Esther Gambino actually met at an auction in Berlin. At that time, the two had some slight ambiguity, but Wu Jianye did not take action later.
Wu Jianye had always kept a respectful distance from these families in the underground world.
"Hello, Miss Zhou, I am Director Wu's friend, Esther Gambino, you are a very lucky girl!" When Esther Gambino saw that Wu Jianye went out of her way to introduce Zhou Huimin to herself, she knew that Zhou Huimin
Huimin is different from the Isabel Adjani she has met before.
Zhou Huimin was slightly stunned. She didn't know Esther, but she knew the Gambino family, a family with absolute authority in Italy, could be said to be the king of the Italian underground world!
I just didn’t expect that Wu Jianye would actually know the Gambino family!
Esther Gambino smiled and said: "Wu, I am here on behalf of our family this time and personally invite you to our family's dinner tonight!"
After meeting Wu Jianye, Esther Gambino became interested in the mysterious Wu Jianye. He even sent people to Xiangjiang and China to investigate Wu Jianye. After learning some details about Wu Jianye, he immediately became interested in Wu Jianye.
gained greater interest.
And he told his father, the underground king of Italy, about his investigation results.
Later, when Fengge Cinema Line acquired theaters in Italy, it received help from the Gambino family.
As for the development of Fengge Cinemas in Europe, it is actually to create a balance between Fengge Cinemas and Phantom's Oceanwide Cinemas. Although Wu Jianye has absolute dominance over both companies, the specific managers after all
If it weren't for Wu Jianye, he wouldn't have allowed them to become a dominant family.
Only mutual checks and balances will be more conducive to your own management!
Regarding Esther Gambino's invitation, Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "Forget it, I only have Esther as a friend in the Gambino family. If the Gambino family has any business that they want to cooperate with,
, Esther, just contact me directly!”
Although Wu Jianye rejected Esther Gambino's invitation, the expression on Esther Gambino's face showed no regrets at all, and she even became happier.
The reason is easy to understand. The Gambino family is a huge family, and Esther is just an ordinary member of this family. Coupled with her status as a woman, if she wants to compete with her brothers, she will
It's even more difficult.
Under such an environment, Ester Gambino needs a strong foreign support.
Wu Jianye is undoubtedly the best candidate. First of all, Wu Jianye is not Italian, or even from this circle. He has no direct competing interests with himself. Cooperating with Wu Jianye can make Esther feel more at ease.
At the same time, Wu Jianye has strong financial resources. The more he investigates Wu Jianye, the more shocked Esther Gambino is. Any group owned by Wu Jianye has surpassed the wealth of the Gambino family.
The most important thing is that Wu Jianye has absolute dominance over these wealth!
This is the reason why countless people are envious, because in the global business field, or in a family like Gambino, it is extremely difficult for a person to have 100% control over his own group or family.
But Wu Jianye did it!
Now Wu Jianye has not agreed to his father's invitation, but has stated that he only has one friend in the Gambino family. Such a statement is enough to explain a lot of problems!
"Wu, thank you. It's a pity that you already have a girlfriend!" Esther Gambino said without concealment.
Wu Jianye laughed and did not answer.
Zhou Huimin looked at Esther Gambino angrily...
"Let's go. Although you can't attend our family dinner, as one of your few friends in Italy, I definitely want to invite you to have a... potluck?" The last potluck, two words Ai
Sturgambino is said in Chinese.
Wu Jianye did not refuse this time: "Okay"
Esther Gambino took Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin to a Chinese restaurant very carefully.
"This is the best Chinese restaurant in Rome, Wu and Zhou, you will definitely like it here!" Esther Gambino said while standing at the door of the Chinese restaurant with Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin.
Wu Jianye stood at the door of the Chinese restaurant and saw that it was indeed a restaurant decorated in Chinese style. Even the signboard was written in Chinese.
Great Chinese restaurant!
In the 1980s, Italy became the first choice for Lucheng people to immigrate. After the 21st century, Lucheng people even regarded Italy as their second hometown.
Lucheng people have always been a legend in the domestic business community. They are united, adventurous and brave. They are a type of people worthy of special mention after China's reform and opening up.
Entering the 21st century, the Lucheng real estate speculators have made their power known to the people across the country.
After Lucheng people came to Italy, they quickly found their place here. Restaurants and clothing factories became their first two industries to start a business.
By the 21st century, more than 70% of Italy's garment factories were founded by Lucheng people.
Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin walked into the restaurant under the leadership of Esther Gambino. Wu Jianye saw that not only the outside was decorated in domestic style, but also the inside was decorated with antique tables and chairs.
Wu Jianye thought he had returned to China.
The waiters were also wearing red cheongsam. After seeing them, they immediately took them to a seat by the window. Wu Jianye saw that right next to him, several Chinese people were having a dinner.
Maybe it was because they were all in China, everyone smiled and nodded when they saw Wu Jianye.
If you are in the same province, the people in the same city are fellow villagers. If you leave the province, the people in the same province are fellow villagers. If you go abroad, all Chinese people are fellow villagers.
It is undeniable that in any group there will be a few pieces of rat excrement. If the entire group is defined by those few pieces of rat excrement, it would actually be biased in Wu Jianye's opinion.
Just like those people who go abroad and talk about how fragrant the foreign air is, it is obvious that they are rat droppings. For these rat droppings, just step on them and never treat them as human beings.
After Wu Jianye and the three of them sat down, the waiter handed them the menu. The menu was introduced in Chinese and Italian. Esther Gambino handed the menu to Wu Jianye and said with a smile: "Wu, I know Huaxia
The rules require guests to order food, and I don’t know much about Chinese food, so I’m sorry to bother you!”
Wu Jianye smiled and did not refuse. He just asked what Ester Gambino's taboos were. As for Zhou Huimin, Wu Jianye knew her taste.
After ordering a few dishes, Wu Jianye and the three of them drank tea and chatted.
But at this time, because Wu Jianye was relatively close to the table next to him, he heard what they were talking about.
"I called you here today just to try out the skills of my chef." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. From what he said, this restaurant should belong to him.
When he just sat down, Wu Jianye had already noticed that there were about six or seven guests at this table.
"Really? You have a new chef? I haven't tasted it. Compared with Lao Lu's cooking, I can't taste it even if you don't tell me!" someone said.
"Lao Li, I said you invited us to dinner regardless of the year, and the food was such a good one. You must be holding something back, right?" Someone laughed.
Lao Li said: "You are really right. I do have something to ask you this time, and what I asked you for is all in this meal. Now that you have all eaten it, you must do this.
help me!"
Several people at the table looked at each other and said nothing. Lao Li called to his wife at the counter and said: "A Ling, go and call Xiao Fan!"
"Why!"
After a while, Wu Jianye saw a man about thirty years old, wearing a white chef's uniform, walking over.
In fact, at this time, the food on Wu Jianye's table had already been served, but Wu Jianye was more curious about the scene in front of him, so he paid more and more attention to the situation here.
"Xiao Fan, you are almost busy now, don't you also want to get to know the big guys?"
After speaking, Lao Li introduced several of the people sitting there to Xiao Fan, and Wu Jianye also knew their identities. They were all Lucheng people doing business in Rome. They were from all walks of life, including those from a clothing factory.
, there are also those who make clothing accessories, and there are those who do logistics!
"Okay, we all know each other. Xiao Fan is also from Lucheng. He knows the same village as me. He also worked in catering before coming here. He has been working for several years and he is familiar with all the processes of the restaurant.
We are very familiar with each other, but there is no chance, so he has always had a wish to open a restaurant, but A-Ling and I do not have the ability to help him..."
Having said this, Lao Li also opened up his thoughts and said: "Oh, stop pretending, okay? I'm going to present this meeting today. You don't know what it means. Brother and sister, please pay some money."
Can you help Xiao Fan get the restaurant up and running?"
Wu Jianye understood now that it was the people of Lucheng who were helping each other. In fact, before his rebirth, Wu Jianye had come into contact with the people of Lucheng, and he saw some very rare and valuable qualities in them, that is, outside
At that time, the people of Lucheng were very united. It is not an exaggeration to say that when one party is in trouble, all parties support it.
In fact, all Chinese people have this trait. This kind of thing is not uncommon among Chinese people living overseas, and it is not limited to people in Lucheng. It's just that people in Lucheng have brought this trait into full play.
Every time there is a disaster in China, these overseas Chinese are united and donate materials and donations. However, this group will always be spoiled by some rat droppings...
...
Lao Li himself is in the restaurant business, but he is able to help his own chefs and find ways to open a restaurant. This kind of ambition is not something ordinary people can have.
"Since we are all fellow countrymen, and we share the same pot of meat and the other, there is no need to distinguish between you and me. When we have difficulties, we all help together. This is an old tradition left by the old people who went abroad. This rule cannot be broken. Xiao Fan's
If he cooks good food, he has real skills. I think he will have no problem opening a restaurant."
"Besides, the people who helped Lao Li in the meeting were his fellow villagers, so they must be helpful, right?"
Some people are already responding to Lao Li's call.
"Okay, now that everyone has said it, let's move on to this matter. You have to decide how much you will pay!" Lao Li was not polite. Obviously, this was not the first time they had done this kind of thing.
Then Wu Jianye heard that several people at this table were taking money one after another. Everyone also told their own situation, basically doing what they could.
