Chapter 411: Bitter Wine Hurts in the Throat
"Since we all know each other, let's sit down, I'm sorry for being late for the first meeting, I hope you don't mind, I brought a few bottles of wine that are not bad, and we'll taste them later, I'm really sorry." β
"Mr. Gambiano, you are so polite, Director, you can serve the food. β
Mickey snapped his fingers, the restaurant director nodded in agreement, turned to the kitchen to give the order to serve, and after everyone was seated, the bodyguard brought by Gambiano handed over a few bottles of wood-wrapped drinks to the waiter, and then sat down in a seat not far away.
"It's an honor for me to be one of the Universal Brothers, and I'm even happier to be able to communicate with two outstanding film art practitioners today, today, we don't get drunk and don't go home, waiters, pour the first glass of wine after five minutes, pour the second glass after ten minutes, according to this convention, one glass every five minutes, all the wine is opened, and the wine is decanted at the same time. β
At this time, Lu Ze noticed that his hands were very wide, which did not match his height and body shape at all, but these hands were very fair-skinned and did not have any calluses, and it could be seen that he was a pampered character.
He stretched out his hand and opened his five fingers to the waiter, and at the same time revealed the huge emerald ring on his middle finger, which was very clean and thorough under the light, with his sensitivity to weight, Lu Ze deduced that the ring would definitely not be less than ten carats.
The eye went down my wrist through the Patek Philippe, which had been ordered to be auctioned, and hidden under the white shirt were tattoos on the cuffs less than a centimeter wide.
didn't look too hard, after all, this is an impolite behavior, as soon as he looked up, Lu Ze found that Gambiano was also looking at him, the two looked at each other, he showed a kind smile to Lu Ze, nodded not too obviously, Lu Ze also responded, however, the right hand hidden under the table, the thumb and middle finger rubbed each other twice like snapping fingers.
"Try the wine I brought, it's not a big brand, it's just a wine made from my own winery, and it doesn't even have a trademark, it's only for my family to drink, and I can't buy it outside, don't mind." β
"No, no, no, I'm sure it's going to be bad. β
"In fact, this wine still has a bit of a history, this is when I was twelve years old, the first time I made it by hand, that year the wind and rain were good, the weather was very good, the grapes grew very good, but I brewed relatively little, and at my eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ceremony took out the banquet guests, the remaining wine has been a few, if you don't meet the two, it's really hard to be willing to open, but, as long as the two like, it's worth the money, come, cheers." β
The waiter poured the first glass of wine, because the vintage is a little old, and the decanting time is short, the wine glass is slightly cloudy when pointed at the light, but the sweet taste of the grapes has begun to waft away when it is poured, arousing the wine worms in the body, making people have an uncontrollable desire to drink.
After eating some white bread, Lu Ze put the wine glass under his nose and sniffed it lightly, and it seemed that some other ingredients were also put into it to make its flavor more rich and the taste more complex.
After taking a sip, the aroma of the wine began to flow on the tip of his tongue, and he even had the idea of holding his breath because he didn't want the aroma to be exhaled with the air, the decanting time was too short, and there was a slight astringency in the mouth, and the unknown raw material had a hint of bitterness, but after entering the throat, it was a mellow sweetness similar to the chocolate flavor.
But this is only one of the flavors, it exists on top of the base notes, the top notes and the middle notes contain much more than just this one flavor, the flavors are very clear, not masked by the chocolate notes, as long as you taste them, you can feel them, and the layers are very clear.
"Coffee beans?"
Because Lu Ze was very sensitive to the taste of coffee beans, but because of the mixture of multiple flavors, he was not sure whether his answer was correct, so he could only try to ask.
"Can you drink it? It's amazing, but what about the other flavors?"
Gambiano seemed very happy, gave Lu Ze a thumbs up, and didn't mind Lu Ze's response with a slight smile, because he also knew that Europeans couldn't be more familiar with the taste of coffee beans, but anyone with a good tongue could taste this taste, and at the very least, they could also say similar answers like cocoa beans.
His praise was not purely to praise Lu Ze's wine tasting ability, but more to express his appreciation for Lu Ze, and Lu Ze also saw this.
"Other flavors...... Can't taste it, but it's delicious. β
"The taste of all the others is derived from the brewing recipe, and the wine of other years also has this taste, if you like it, I can give you some, only the coffee beans, because when I was a child, I was very naughty, and when I made wine, I always liked to add some strange things into the strange taste, of course, in addition to these wines added to the coffee beans, the others are terrible to drink, all of them were poured out by me, and it is also considered to be fate with you, the coffee beans poured into it are all produced in Huaxia Yunan, and when I want to replicate this taste again, all the raw materials are the same, but there is no taste of these bottlesγ β
"Perhaps, the right time, place and people are indispensable. β
"I like your words. β
may be in the eyes of the appreciators, the appreciating people say everything well, and he praised Lu Ze again, so that Lu Ze didn't know what kind of attitude to put on, so he could only smile and clink glasses with the two again, but it is undeniable that this wine is really delicious.
"By the way, why didn't the Mendeleev brothers come?"
"They are busy preparing for a new movie, so they have not been available for a while, and they also want to take the opportunity of me and Lu Ze to say no to Mr. Gambiano, I am sorry that I missed the appointment when I was invited by you for the first time. β
Mitch thought he wouldn't ask the Russian brothers anymore, after all, he didn't ask until he drank the wine, which really seemed a little too insincere, so he still wanted to borrow Lucas to help, not to mention Mitch, it is estimated that if Lucas knew, he would not be willing to go over to be a temporary worker under him.
Of course, this thing...... Mitch couldn't tell Lucas either.
Gambiano actually hesitated for a long time before asking, after all, he also knew that it was a bit unrighteous to ask now, but as soon as he entered the door, his eyes were all attracted by Lu Ze, not the kind of joy that Long Yang was good, or how to like it, how to see how it is suitable, and then accidentally forgot about Lucas......
But it's even more inappropriate not to mention it, and it's too inappropriate not to say a word about the Maozi brothers, and now his psychology only regrets, very regretful...... However, this regret was diverted by the news revealed by Mickey.
"You don't need to call me Gambiano, I believe that in the future, we will not only become partners, but also friends in life, just call me Falti, right, that is, Universal Brothers has a new project?"
Lu Ze and Mitch glanced at each other, and felt that there was nothing they couldn't say to the new shareholders, of course, the script must not reveal the specific content, but it is not impossible to inform others about the new project.
"Yes. β
"Who's the star?"
"It's me. β
Lu Ze took the initiative to admit it, and then refocused his attention on the main dish Wellington steak, the puff pastry was delicious, and the beef was also delicious, but the taste of the mushroom sauce was not quite in line with his taste, and he put it down after taking a bite, and asked the waiter to fill the wine again.
"That means you don't have a schedule for this time?"
"That's right. β
"What about Lucas?"
"It's the same. β
Falti didn't speak, but drank a large glass of wine, and at this moment, he finally understood what it meant to have bitter wine in his throat...... He wiped his mouth, smiled bitterly, and swallowed back what he wanted to say just now.
Mickey saw his unnaturalness, and in order to take care of the new boss, he asked.
"You need both of them so badly?"
"That's right, I have a film here that I want to work with the two of them, because my father manages the family company in the field of art, so I have been playing in Gambiano Film Company since I was a child, and the first industry I took over when I grew up was a large theater, because of my interest, I also worked as a director of opera and stage plays, and I became more and more interested in film, and finally I made up my mind to pick a script that was idle in the company, and after a little modification, I wanted to make a film to try to see if I was suitable for this industry, if it was suitable, if I really made achievements, then I would do it as a career, if it was not suitable, then I will be relieved to be the management. β
Yes, another young master who can't be a director and is going back to inherit hundreds of millions of family properties, Mickey suddenly felt that the steak was not fragrant, a stream of bitter tears welled up, and the napple that wiped his mouth was bitten in his mouth, so he almost ate the napkin.
Why is he going to sell his ass in order to make a movie, but he can buy shares in a company in the nature of a ticket, and set up the employees and even the boss of other companies to accompany him to fulfill his dream? Is this what people do?
Can you do whatever you want if you have money?
This time it was Mr. Mickey's turn to drink bitterly, and to adjust his mood, he still had to smile at Falti, otherwise he would offend the eldest prince, and there was a real risk of being blown away by the gunman while walking on the street.
"As a rookie director, you'd better choose an experienced director to help, so as to achieve your dream with the lowest risk and the greatest possible ability, do you have a candidate for this person?"
"Originally, I also thought about finding a great director as an assistant director to help me achieve my dream, the initial candidate was Giuseppe, but then I thought about it, it would be more meaningful to complete my dream by myself, if I found someone to help, it would not be my personal work. β
Whew!
This is what Mickey wants to say, Giuseppe Tornatore! My idol! The director of "Cinema Paradiso," "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily," and "The Pianist of the Sea"! You just make a test of the waters, and you can use it to invite an old man who is almost 70 years old to go out of the mountain? I can't find a way to be a soldier for him! You say that you will be an assistant director!
class contradictions to generate ......
Not to mention Mickey, even Lu Ze was trembling when he heard it, and almost spit the wine back into the cup, thinking that people might have grown up in Giuseppe's arms, the wine suddenly had a sour taste......
This kind of longing for idols was shattered in the understatement of the big family, and the mentality of the two collapsed!
In this regard, Mickey has set off waves in his heart, but when facing the eldest young master, he still has to pretend to be calm, but his smile has become a little embarrassing, and even Falti's bodyguards have to get up when they laugh, because in their eyes, the smiles of the two lemon essences at this moment are indeed a little hideous......
"Now that you and Lucas already have an appointment, let's give yourself some more time to make up for the lessons, now that I think about it, it's really a bit rushed, take advantage of this time to enrich my thoughts. β
"That's the truth, by the way, I haven't asked yet, what kind of movie do you want to make?"
"Test the waters...... I want to make a commercial film, I want to ...... I want to shoot one, I've seen it, it's not strong enough to be one against a hundred, one of the most real...... Killer. β
