Chapter 524: Mr. Night Pot (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)
After Daniel Lewis finished speaking, he looked at Wu Jianye, and was very proud of his decision, yesterday in the revolving restaurant of the TV tower, he was slapped in the face by Wu Jianye with a song One Summer's Day, and today he let Wu Jianye humiliate, this is what Daniel Lewis himself thought.
He wants to find a place for himself, but there is no good way, it is now the Berlin Film Festival, even if he is a Hollywood superstar, this is still the stage for participating films, so he thinks about it and has no good way to find himself in the professional field.
But fortunately, he suddenly remembered the phone call he had received from Sotheby's auction house before, they would hold a spring auction in Berlin tomorrow, and since there was no other way in the professional field, it could only be simply crushed with money.
How much money can a Chinese director have, even if he is a Kun, in addition to a blockbuster album and a few blockbuster movie scripts, he can't think of any other source of funds for Wu Jianye.
Such a sum of money may be a huge amount of money in the eyes of ordinary people, 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 if he is a world-renowned actor, but he is still worthless here in Wu Jianye.
So even if Daniel Lewis showed off his wealth last night, Wu Jianye didn't take it seriously, and slapped his face back on the spot, and the matter passed.
But now that Daniel Lewis has sent his face again, it is still in the place where he is best at, and it is impossible for Wu Jianye to let go.
When it comes to making movies, Wu Jianye still has many people in this world who admire, but when it comes to making money, there is one in the world, and Wu Jianye doesn't know who can put pressure on him.
"Oh, by the way, I remembered, Sotheby's spring auction is to have an invitation letter and a deposit, I don't know if Director Wu has an invitation letter, if not, it would be a pity, in fact, I myself am also very interested in the culture of China, and the same is true for that antique, looking at this Huaxia shareholder, it can only be brought back to the United States, just like other antiques in China. ”
Daniel Lewis laughed.
At this time, anyone can hear the disdain in Daniel Lewis's tone, only He Qing understands some English, but Daniel Lewis speaks very quickly and has a lot of information, so he didn't understand it, and he seemed a little confused.
When Zhang Manyu was just trying to reason with Daniel Lewis next to him, Wu Jianye grabbed Zhang Manyu's arm, then faced Daniel Lewis, smiled, and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I think tomorrow's auction will definitely be very interesting!"
Daniel Lewis also smiled: "I think so too!"
Although Isabel Adjani thought that this was a little inappropriate, Daniel Lewis was her boyfriend after all, and she didn't want to say anything in public, but when the two left, she whispered to Daniel Lewis: "Honey, we don't need to be like this!"
Daniel Lewis patted Isabel Adjani's hand and said, "It's okay, I just want to teach that Huaxia director a lesson, don't worry, I won't do anything to him!"
Looking at the backs of the two, Wu saw that the night did not change and said goodbye to Brunonu Eaton with a smile.
When they returned to the hotel, He Qing also knew about what had just happened in Zhang Manyu's mouth.
I came to Wu Jianye's room.
Wu Jianye had just put down the phone, and when he saw He Qing's somewhat squirming appearance, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Director Wu, are you going to participate in tomorrow's auction?" He Qing asked softly.
Wu Jianye nodded: "Yes, since there are treasures from our country, then naturally I want to take them home!"
He Qing thought for a while, took out some marks from the bag he brought, handed them to Wu Jianye, and said, "Director Wu, this is the mark I exchanged before I came to Berlin, although it is not much, but it can also help a little." ”
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "It turns out that 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 details because he was in China, but Zhang Manyu, as a Xiangjiang actor, couldn't have known his details.
He Qing nodded and said, "Having said that, she said that she didn't need to worry about me, and she didn't tell me the reason, but I think anything can happen at the auction, and it's always right to bring more money!"
Wu Jianye nodded, it seems that Zhang Manyu still understands that he is the boss behind the scenes in Xiangjiang, and he doesn't want to cause too much turmoil in China, so Zhang Manyu just persuaded He Qing not to worry, but he didn't tell He Qing the specific reason.
"Don't worry, it won't cost much at the auction, you might as well keep the money to buy some gifts for your mother!"
He Qing's money, Wu Jianye naturally couldn't take it, so he smiled and asked He Qing to take the money back.
When He Qing returned to her room with Zhang Manyu, Zhang Manyu looked at He Qing with a smile and said, "What's the matter, I said that Director Wu won't want it, you, don't worry, that Daniel Lewis is doing this purely to find his own death." ”
Then Zhang Manyu said with some indignation: "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!"
He Qing sat on his bed, looked at Zhang Manyu with some concern, and asked, "Will it really be okay?"
Zhang Manyu walked up to He Qing and said with a smile: "You just put one hundred and twenty hearts!"
Following!
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 orders?"
Wu Jianye shook his head and said with a smile: "No need." ”
"Okay, then if Director Wu has any orders in the future, just call me directly!"
"Okay!"
For others, an invitation to the Sotheby's auction may be very rare, but for Wu Jianye, it is just a matter of phone calls.
While dining at the restaurant in the morning, Wu Jianye saw Daniel Lewis and Isabel Adjani, who were also staying in the same hotel, again.
After Daniel Lewis saw Wu Jianye, he came over with a smile and said, "Director Wu, do you want me to take you into the auction, I still have some friendship with the senior management of Sotheby's." ”
Wu didn't raise his head when he saw the night, but said lightly: "No need." ”
Daniel Lewis smiled and walked away, in his opinion, this was just Wu Jianye's last struggle.
Wu Jianye was the first to finish breakfast and left the restaurant.
Daniel Lewis looked at Wu Jianye's back, smiled and didn't say anything.
Soon Daniel Lewis and Isabel Adjani had finished their breakfast, and their scheduled car service was already waiting in front of the hotel.
The two got into the car and went straight to the Sotheby's spring auction.
As one of the most well-known auctions in the world, Sotheby's Spring Auction is no less expensive, and it can be said that there are many well-known collectors gathered here today.
Daniel Lewis and Isabel Adjani may be the most well-known 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 send his own smile.
However, when he saw that Wu Jianye was actually sitting in the venue, he was still slightly stunned, he didn't expect Wu Jianye to really come in.
But then Daniel Lewis was relieved, after all, Wu Jianye still has some fame in Europe and the United States, and Sotheby's auction has increased his popularity, if Wu Jianye proposes to participate in the spring auction of Sotheby's auction house, the other party is likely to give a green light.
In fact, there is no need to go into too much detail about the process of the auction, and everyone who comes to the auction will get a description of the lot in this auction.
In fact, this has been delivered to everyone who is ready to participate in the auction before the start of the preparations, so many people just take it and don't look at it.
Wu Jianye only found out about this auction yesterday, so now he is looking at the introduction of the lots in today's auction with relish.
Among them, what interests Wu Jianye the most is naturally the Chinese antiques mentioned by Daniel Lewis before.
This is a sitting statue of the Ming Dynasty bronze gilt Buddha, and there is also an introduction to this seated statue on it.
In this auction, there are not only Chinese antiques, but also European ones, and Wu Jianye saw in the album that there was a serpent-shaped engagement ring set with emerald gemstones given to Queen Victoria by Prince Albert of the Victorian period in the English Victoria.
The serpent symbolized eternal love at the time.
There is also an oil painting by Van Gogh called "Iris" (this painting was actually put up for auction in 1988, but it was postponed for a few months to serve the content of the book, everyone understands!)
When Wu Jianye was reading the introduction, the auction walked into several white men in suits and leather shoes, one of whom was a man in his early thirties, with blonde hair, walking in front, obviously the leader of these people.
Daniel Lewis was also in the eye when he saw him, and quickly stood up in his place 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 on his face.
"Mr. Johnson!" Isabel Adjani greeted with a smile on her face.
"Haha, it turned out to be Daniel and Isabel, by the way, I remembered, Isabel is going to the Berlin Film Festival this year!" Johnson laughed, but when he said the Berlin Film Festival, Johnson's voice was a little unnatural.
"yes, I didn't expect Mr. Johnson to know about it, so you did it this time?" asked Daniel Lewis.
Ten years ago, the Johnson family was only a small family in Los Angeles, but after ten years of development, it has now become one of the largest families in Los Angeles.
As the entertainment capital of North America, the Johnson family is naturally widely involved in the entertainment industry, but they are not involved in the production industry, but do theater and distribution business, and are now one of the few theater companies in North America.
Daniel Johnson also maintains a good relationship with each other, after all, movies are inseparable from the support of theaters.
Johnson smiled: "I came here to participate in this auction this time, my grandfather likes to collect antiques, this time I want to prepare a gift for him, as for the Berlin Film Festival, there are other people in charge!"
Johnson's grandfather likes to collect antiques, which is something that the whole of Hollywood knows, and he is the head of the Johnson family.
Chatting with them, Johnson was about to go to his place when he suddenly saw a person in the crowd who came to the auction this time appeared in a person he desperately didn't want to see!
At this time, Wu Jianye also felt that someone was looking at him, and when he raised his head, he also saw Johnson.......
In fact, at first glance, Wu Jianye didn't recognize Johnson, but soon he remembered which Johnson was in Johnson's stunned eyes.
Mr. Nightpot!
The maker of Wu Jianye's first pot of gold, when Linda occasionally chatted with Wu Jianye, Wu Jianye also knew Johnson's recent situation, and after traveling, Johnson began to return to his family, and after taking over some business, he slowly set his sights on the distribution and theater of the movie.
With the strength of his family, Johnson has done a lot of work, and now he has become the fifth largest cinema company in the United States!
This was not the case in another plane, and the effect of butterfly wings became more and more apparent.
Then Wu Jianye smiled and beckoned to Johnson.
At this time, Johnson couldn't have left when he saw Wu Jianye like he did in Xiangjiang, he just glared at Wu Jianye, and then shook his head.
To this day, Johnson still can't forget the losses he suffered on Wu Jianye, and whenever he saw Wu Jianye, he could remember how his grandfather hung himself up and beat him at that time.
Originally, he didn't want to come over today, but he knew that Wu Jianye would also participate in the Berlin Film Festival this time, and he didn't want to run into him, but who would have thought that Murphy's Law would work so well, the more he didn't think about anything, the more he would encounter something.
Wu Jianye was unmoved and continued to wave towards Johnson.
Johnson was helpless and walked to Wu Jianye's side, 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 troubles.
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, but when he saw Johnson's reaction, he found out that they actually knew each other.
Then I saw Johnson walking over, and the unconscious Daniel Lewis led Isabel Adjani to follow.
Johnson walked up to Wu Jianye and said in an unkind tone, "Why are you here?"
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Mr. Daniel invited me over!"
Daniel Lewis: "......"
