Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Dismount of Winterdur
In the lobby of the hotel, the grand rectangular table is full of all kinds of delicacies, and the waiters in black suits and red bows are constantly pouring golden champagne into the champagne glasses on the table, and the aroma of wine overflows, and from time to time there are waiters walking back and forth in the lobby with champagne glasses full of wine.
Stopping a waiter wearing only a white shirt, a red bow, and no suit jacket, Walter took out a glass of champagne from the black cup and plate he was holding on his chest with his right hand and handed it to Basinger, who was holding his left hand, and then took out another glass himself, and the two exchanged glasses and drank with a smile on their faces.
“cheers!”
“cheers!”
Syllable!
After the crisp sound of the cup tapping, Walter and Basinger sipped the fragrant golden liquid in their mouths like lovers who had just fallen in love. Of course, Walter and Basinger both took a shallow sip, both of them are veterans of the participation, naturally not those novices, and they will drink it quickly when they get the wine glass, after all, this is a drinking party, not a dinner table.
Drinking parties, drinking parties, as the name suggests, are naturally to meet friends with wine, and those parties are more serious here, and they will be friends in life, in order to get acquainted, rather than the kind of private parties that use alcohol and sex to maintain relationships, group parties and the like.
Although Walter's predecessor was the illegitimate son of the Disney family, he was also a middle-class person in this era after all, not to mention that the cheap father would take him to get acquainted with some contacts, that is, after the predecessor grew up, the high school and university where he was located were all famous schools, especially the Stanford that the predecessor entered, and there were many people who went to other friends' houses to participate in similar meetings, so he naturally knew a lot about it.
In this cocktail party, drinking is better than tasting wine, taking a shallow sip of wine, and talking more with the people you need to get to know at the party. Probably this is also the main reason why successful people in Europe and the United States love to hold cocktail parties at every turn, just like those young people hold parties, they are all about getting to know people, but the purpose is different.
Of course, Walter is like this, and so is Basinger, who has been modeling for several years, so that she is no longer a small local beauty pageant model who has just entered the entertainment industry, and she is also familiar with this kind of drinking party. Especially today's cocktail party is all middle and high-level of some Hollywood film companies, she naturally won't drink more, but wants to take a look around, and use her beauty to leave an eye with some powerful people in film companies.
After all, if he can't get the benefit from Walter, Basinger will definitely not stay by this man's side forever, so it is necessary to seize every opportunity to climb up in advance, and today's drinking party is a very necessary opportunity to get acquainted.
However, if Walter knew what this woman was thinking, he would definitely want to use the big stick under his crotch to hit this stupid woman on the head, so that she would be as obedient as a and want to leave from his hands, no way!
He is in control of the future, is he afraid that he will not have the right resources for this woman who wants to be more famous?
Opportunities are always given to obedient women, and how to fight for them depends on how the other party chooses......
"Hello!Walter, long time no see, how are you doing?" I don't know if it was intentional or really accidental, a middle-aged white man in a black suit walked up, with a smile that seemed to Walter to be hypocritical, and walked over and said hello.
"It's not bad, Fred, how are you doing?" Reaching out not to hit the smiling person, of course Walter would not give the other party a bad face when his competitor gave him a good face, but Walter, who was thinking about the other party's smile and hypocrisy just now, also greeted the other party with a warm smile that could not see what he was thinking.
The person on the other side naturally knows who it is, and the two have also met at some industry receptions after Walter took office as the deputy director of Disney's live-action production department some time ago, and Walter certainly knows this Warner Bros. vice president Fred Winterdour. According to the latest news obtained by Disney, this is the person directly responsible for the Warner Bros. follow-up Bruce Lee cooperation project, in other words, the vice president of Warner Bros. Fred Winterdur is Walter's competitor for Bruce Lee.
Now that the other party has taken the initiative to come over, and still has such a hypocritical smile, in Walter's opinion, it can only be expressed in one word, that is-the one who comes is not good!
"I'm okay, but I've been at a stalemate with Bruce to negotiate a contract, which is a headache for me, but now it's okay, I guess Bruce should reach a cooperation intention with us in a few days and sign a contract. ”
"Oh, I've been waiting for Bruce for a long time. Walter responded with a smile, but cursed in his heart, sure enough, it was really not good, Fred did this for nothing more than a purpose, to take the lead, and scare himself that he would not have a chance to negotiate with Bruce Lee again, because they Warner Bros. had already negotiated, and there was nothing to do with Disney.
Hey!
Unfortunately, you made a mistake in this calculation, Lao Tzu's Chinese in his previous life was not learned in vain, and he lived a happy life under the five-star red flag of the Celestial Empire, but he directly let Bruce Lee release his hole cards and tell himself the bottom line.
Fortunately, otherwise you would have been deceived......
"I'll leave first, there's still something over there, see you next time I have a chance!"
"Ok!
After a conversation, the two smiled and drank a sip of champagne, and after Fred took the initiative to back down, they smiled at each other and said hello and separated, and from beginning to end, both Walter and Fred kept smiling.
Even if the two of them know in their hearts that the other party in front of them at this moment is their competitor who controls the project, it is really not easy to maintain a hypocritical smile. Of course, frankly speaking, both parties are also businessmen, so they naturally know how to deal with this kind of social situation, know how to negotiate in their favor in this kind of social situation, and even if they are angry, they have to maintain their image and demeanor all the time.
Needless to say, Fred Winterdur has come from the grassroots level to the present. After slowly climbing to the manager of a nightclub in New York, he then moved to Warner Bros. as vice president of creation at Warner Bros., and then with his own ability, he served as a producer of famous films such as "Concert Fausto" and "Detective Captures Pornographers".
And now, Winterdur has his resume as a manager in a nightclub, and he is naturally very familiar with how to suppress opponents invisibly in this kind of public place.
