Chapter 807: Fellow (4000+ chapters, ask for subscription~)
The first wave to find Wu Jianye was actually someone 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 "The Red Lantern Hangs High" is in our Venice Film Festival to the world, this time on behalf of the Venice Film Festival, I very sincerely invite your new film "The World of Chu Xing" to participate in our Venice Film Festival next year!"
Zhou Huimin sat next to Wu Jianye, watching the organizers of these European A-level film festivals, and personally came over to invite Wu Jianye to bring his new film to their film festival.
I also have a lot of emotion in my heart.
In Hong Kong, although the development of the film industry is very rapid, the awards in the film festival have always been lackluster, until the appearance of Wang Sunglasses two years ago, which can be regarded as opening the door to the European film festival of Hong Kong films.
But even so, Wang Sunglasses has not won anything at the European Film Festival so far.
Now Wu Jianye's film has not yet been registered, but he has received invitations from the two major film festivals, and now Wu Jianye has not yet gone to France, if he goes to France, will the organizers of the Cannes Film Festival also come to invite Wu Jianye?
Regarding the reply to the invitation of the Venice Film Festival, Wu Jianye is the same as the Berlin Film Festival, and Wu Jianye handed over this matter to China Film to deal with, and directly took himself out.
The Venice Film Festival can be regarded as an old friend of Chinese films, and they also understand some of the rules of Chinese films, but I still hope to fight for it, after all, the director of this movie is Wu Jianye, although they don't know Wu Jianye's status in the Chinese film industry, but they must have a certain degree of right to speak.
Wu Jianye once again expressed his gratitude for the dedication of the Venice Film Festival, but he still did not let go.
In the end, the officials of the Venice Film Festival had no choice but to shake hands with Wu Jianye and say goodbye.
After the organizers of the Venice Film Festival left, the second wave found Wu Jianye was a beautiful woman.
Este Gambino!
"Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time!" After Estegambino saw Wu Jianye, he didn't care about Zhou Huimin next to Wu Jianye, and directly gave a big hug, and the majestic feeling was still undiminished.
"I haven't seen you for a long time!" Wu Jianye let go of Este Gambino and pointed to Zhou Huimin, who was a little confused next to him, and smiled: "This is my girlfriend Zhou Huimin!"
Wu Jianye and Estegambino's acquaintance actually met at an auction in Berlin, and the two had some ambiguity at that time, but then Wu Jianye didn't do it.
For these families in the underground world, Wu Jianye has always been respectful.
"Hello Miss Zhou, I'm a friend of Director Wu, Estegambino, you are a very lucky girl!" Seeing that Wu Jianye actually introduced Zhou Huimin to herself, she knew that Zhou Huimin was different from the Isabelle Adjani she had seen before.
Zhou Huimin was slightly stunned, she didn't know Esther, but she knew that the Gambino family, a family with absolute authority in Italy, could be said to be the king of the Italian underground world!
It's just that I didn't expect that Wu Jianye would know the Gambino family too!
Este Gambino smiled: "Wu, I came here on behalf of our family this time and personally invited you to our family's dinner tonight!"
After meeting Wu Jianye at the beginning, Estegambino became interested in the mysterious Wu Jianye, and even specially sent people to Xiangjiang and Huaxia to investigate Wu Jianye, and immediately became more interested in knowing some details of Wu Jianye.
And told his father about the results of his investigation, the underground king of Italy.
Later, when Fengge Cinema Line acquired theaters in Italy, it had the help of the Gambino family.
As for the development of Fengge Cinema in Europe, in fact, it is also to balance Fengge Cinema and Phantom's Oceanwide Cinema, although Wu Jianye has absolute dominance over the two companies, but the specific manager is not Wu Jianye after all, he will not let them form a monopoly situation.
Only mutual checks and balances can be more conducive to their own management!
Regarding Esther Gambino's invitation, Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "Forget it, I only have one friend in the Gambino family, if the Gambino family has any business that you want to cooperate with, Aster, you can contact me directly!"
Although Wu Jianye rejected Estegambino's invitation, the expression on Estegambino's face did not show any regret, and he even became more and more happy.
The reason is also very understandable, the Gambino family is a huge family, and Esther is just an ordinary member of this family, coupled with her status as a woman, it is even more difficult to compete with her brothers.
In such an environment, Estegambino needs a strong foreign support.
And Wu Jianye is undoubtedly the best candidate, first of all, Wu Jianye is not Italian, not even a person in this circle, and has no direct interest competition with himself, and the cooperation with Wu Jianye can make Esther more assured.
At the same time, it is Wu Jianye's strong financial resources, the more Wu Jianye investigates, the more Este Gambino is shocked, Wu Jianye's random group has surpassed the wealth of the Gambino family, and the most important thing is that Wu Jianye has absolute dominance over these wealth!
This is the envy of countless people, because in the world of global business, or in a family like Gambino, it is extremely difficult for a person to be 100% in control of his own group or family.
And Wu Jianye did it!
Now Wu Jianye did not agree to his father's invitation, but made it clear that in the Gambino family, he only has one friend of himself, such a statement is enough to explain a lot of problems!
"Wu, thank you, it's a pity that you already have a girlfriend!" said Estegambino unabashedly.
Wu Jianye laughed and didn't answer.
Zhou Huimin looked at Este Gambino indignantly.......
"Let's go, although you can't attend our family dinner, I, as one of your few friends in Italy, will definitely invite you to have a ....... "Finally, the two words Estegambino were spoken in Chinese.
Wu Jianye did not refuse this time: "Okay"
Este Gambino took Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin to a Chinese restaurant very carefully.
"This is the best Chinese restaurant in Rome, Wu, Zhou, you will love it very much!" said Estegambino and Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin standing at the door of the Chinese restaurant.
Wu Jianye stood at the door of the Chinese restaurant and saw that it was indeed a restaurant decorated according to the Chinese style, and even the signboard was written in Chinese.
Great Chinese Restaurant!
In the 80s, Italy became the first choice for Lucheng people to immigrate, and after the 21st century, Lucheng people even regarded Italy as their second home.
Lucheng people have always been a legend in the domestic business community, they are united, daring, brave, and they are a type of people who are very worthy of special mention after the reform and opening up of China.
In the 21st century, the Lucheng real estate speculation group has let the people of the whole country know their power.
After the people of Lucheng came to Italy, they quickly found their place here, and restaurants and garment factories became their first two industries for starting a business.
In the 21st century, more than 70% of Italy's garment factories were founded by Lucheng people.
Wu Jianye and Zhou Huimin, under the leadership of Estegambino, walked into the restaurant, Wu Jianye saw that this place was not only decorated according to the domestic style outside, but also inside, with antique tables and chairs, Wu Jianye thought that he had returned to China in a trance.
The waiters were also wearing red cheongsams, and when they saw them, they immediately took them to a window position, and Wu Jianye saw that next to him, there were several Chinese people who were having a dinner.
Maybe it's because they are all in Huaxia, after everyone saw Wu Jianye, they also smiled and nodded.
If you are in a province, the same city is a fellow countryman, if you go out of the province, the same province is a fellow countryman, and if you go abroad, the whole Chinese people are a fellow countryman.
It is undeniable that there will be a few rat droppings in any group, and if the entire group is defined by those few rat droppings, it is actually biased in Wu Jianye's opinion.
It's like those who go abroad and say how fragrant the air is in a foreign country, it's obvious that they are those rat droppings, and if you step on these rat droppings, you must not treat them as human beings.
After Wu Jianye and the three of them sat down, the waiter handed them the menu, and the menu was introduced by Chinese and Italian bilinguals, and Estegambino handed the menu to Wu Jianye and said with a smile: "Wu, I know that the rules of Huaxia are for guests to order, and I don't know much about Chinese food, so I'll trouble you!"
Wu Jianye smiled, and did not refuse, but just asked Estegan Bino what he had to doom, 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 also heard what they were talking about.
"How about calling you here today to try the craftsmanship of this chef in my house?" spoke a middle-aged man, and listening to him, this restaurant should be his.
When he just sat down, Wu Jianye had already noticed that there were about six or seven guests at this table.
"Yes, you have a new chef? I haven't eaten it, and compared with Lao Lu's craftsmanship, you can't even taste it if you don't say it!" someone said.
"Lao Li, I said that you invite us to dinner every year, it's still such a good meal, you old boy must be holding back something, right?" someone laughed.
Lao Li said: "I really let you say it right, this time I do have something to ask you, and the things I begged you are all in this meal, and now that you have all eaten, you must help me with this matter!"
Several people at the table glanced at each other and didn't speak, but Lao Li greeted his wife at the counter and said, "Ah Ling, go and call Xiao Fan!"
"Hey!"
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 come up, 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're almost busy, don't you also want to get to know the big guy. ”
After speaking, Lao Li introduced a few of them to Xiao Fan, and Wu Jianye also knew their identities, they were all Lucheng people who did business in Rome, and there were people from all walks of life, some were garment factories, some were garment accessories, and some were logistics!
"Okay, everyone knows each other, Xiao Fan, also our Lucheng people, and I are a village know-in-law, before I came here, I also did catering work, I have been doing catering work for several years, and I am very familiar with all the processes of the restaurant, but I don't have a chance, so he has always had a wish, I want to open a restaurant, and I and Ah Ling don't have such a great ability to help him......."
Speaking of this, Lao Li also opened up his thoughts and said: "Oh, don't pretend either, okay, I'll make this presentation today, you don't know what this means, big brother and sister will pay some money to help Xiao Fan get the restaurant up." ”
Wu Jianye saw that he also understood now, it turned out that the people of Lucheng were helping each other, in fact, before being reborn, Wu Jianye had contact with the people of Lucheng, and he saw a very valuable quality in them, that is, when they were outside, the people of Lucheng were very united, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as one party was in trouble and supported by all parties.
In fact, Chinese people have this trait, this kind of thing is not uncommon among Chinese people who are adrift overseas, and it is not limited to Lucheng people, but Lucheng people give full play to this trait.
Every time there is a disaster in China, these overseas Chinese are also united, donating materials, and there are not a few donors, but this group will always be spoiled by some rat droppings.......
Lao Li himself is in the restaurant business, but he can help his chef and find a way to open a restaurant, such a mind is not something that ordinary people can have.
"Since everyone is a fellow countryman, a pot of meat and a pot of rotten, then there is no need to divide each other, you and me, if there is a difficulty, everyone will help together, this is the old tradition left by the old generation, this rule can not be broken, Xiao Fan's dishes are good, that is a real ability, I think he has no problem opening a restaurant." ”
"Besides, Lao Li's meeting is helping Lao Li's fellow villagers, so he must do his best. ”
There are already people responding to Lao Li's call.
"Okay, since everyone has talked about it here, let's move on to this matter, and you have to say how much money you pay!" Lao Li was not polite, obviously it was not the first time that they had done this kind of thing.
Then Wu Jianye heard that several people at this table took money one after another, and everyone also said their own situation, basically doing what they could.
