The achievements of "Killing with a Knife" are really amazing, and the unexpected collapse of "Ocean's Twelve" is also too amazing, even if time turns back and returns to the beginning of the movie's release, people still can't believe such an ending.

As a party, Lance hopes that "Killing with a Knife" can win the recognition of the box office market, and also hopes that "Killing with a Knife" can defeat "Ocean's Twelve", but before the results come out, Lance will never dare to take it lightly. Not only because of the memory of the previous life, not only because "Ocean's Twelve" does have a strong box office appeal, but also because Lance believes that George Clooney will never surrender lightly.

In George's career as an actor, almost none of the leading works have won the so-called box office success, and even most of the films have not been successful at the box office, but he has been able to rank among the top actors for nearly two decades, which is definitely not a survival that can be ignored.

So, while Lance was in New York for a promotion, George invited him to dinner, and he had no reason to refuse. Although I don't know what George is planning, but before the two really tear their faces, Lance hopes to continue to maintain this "friendship", George is testing his news, why is he not testing the news of George and Diora Pictures? To be precise, the enemy is in the open and in the dark, and Lance is the dominant side.

Jean Georges is a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Manhattan at One Central Park, which is known as the best French restaurant in New York, and is also recognized as a landmark in the New York market, and can even be said to be the Vanity Fair of New York. There are two kinds of people who dine here most often, one is celebrities, such as Denzel Washington, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, etc.; There is also a kind of businessman who has a successful career and knows how to enjoy life.

The heroine of "Desire/Hope City" once said that the most powerful woman in New York is the usher in "Jean Georges" who decided not to give you a place, and if you want to prove the status of a New York man, it is to see if he needs to make an appointment for "Jean Georges".

Of course, a TV series is a TV series after all, with some dramatic elements. But it is undeniable that "Jean-George" does have a special symbolic meaning for the bustling metropolis of New York. George made a reservation for dinner here, not only to see his importance, but also to see his status and connections.

At half past eight o'clock in the night of New York, the thick canopy of the sky shrouded this city that never sleeps, as if it was outside the sky, independent of the world, leaving the colorful splendor and splendor in this intoxicating land, the restlessness and decay in the air were silently swallowed up by the darkness in the neon halo, leaving only the madness of drunken dreams and death.

A bright red Cadillac slowly pulled up on the side of the wide road, and the parking boy in a black suit immediately walked up quickly, opened the door, and said with a smile, "Good evening, sir." ”

The man sitting in the car was wearing a dark gray plum trench coat, and he could vaguely see the blue-black checked suit with a white shirt inside. The man nodded slightly to the parking boy, and then walked up the stairs to the building's gate.

The parking boy looked at the convertible sports car in front of him and recognized at a glance that this was a retro Cadillac Alante sedan from 1989, which combines the European aristocratic style and the American style of elegance, and is definitely a generation of famous cars. Although there was already a queue at the door of the "Jean Georges" restaurant at this time, and he had already taken over a lot of luxury cars tonight, he still couldn't help but smile at this time, turned back and raised his eyebrows at his companion, as if to say, "This is a really good car!" ”

His companion's eyes widened with surprise and envy, but he then withdrew his gaze, met the man, and said politely, "Good evening, sir." Then he took the initiative to open the door of the restaurant, and after the man entered, he slowly closed the door.

Upon entering the restaurant, the black Victorian-style porch was simple but elegant, eye-catching, with six or seven people standing in the porch, each dressed up, standing quietly and elegantly, talking in a low voice, mixed with the warm air, although the crowd made the limited space of the porch seem a little narrow, but there was no sense of chaos, but there was an illusion of an aristocratic ball in the twenties.

Julia-Wood looked up at the man in front of her, "Good evening, sir." The man's face had a shallow smile, and his blue eyes were as mysterious and deep as the sea of stars, which almost made her lose her mind for a moment, but she quickly recovered, as the leader and duty manager of "Jean-George", she could see countless high-ranking celebrities every day, all kinds and countless, just a pair of skins was nothing, "Do you have an appointment?" With a hint of detachment in the politeness, he showed a professional etiquette posture, and quietly distanced himself.

The man, however, did not seem to notice the subtle change in his words, and tucked his chin slightly, and said succinctly, "Clooney." ”

Julia's mind quickly searched the information base, and the face in front of her quickly found the corresponding name, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes, "Mr. Strello, your friend is looking forward to your arrival." "Lancelot Strello, one of the hottest names in Manhattan in recent times, whether it is a talented director, or a handsome and elegant appearance, is enough to become the focus of people's after-dinner discussions.

Julia politely bowed slightly and held out her right hand, "Please follow me." "Then lead the way ahead.

Walking into "Jean-Georges", the simple and simple modernist style decoration is a little surprising, not the imaginary Versailles luxury style, and even a little low-key, only 20 seats can be seen in sight, compared with the noise outside the door, the interior seems a little deserted, even compared with some traditional American restaurants. However, when you walk into the restaurant, there is a quiet and peaceful warmth floating in the air, and you can faintly hear the sound of whispering in your voice, and the crisp sound of the collision between the tableware and the dishes is interspersed with it, and the elegance and dignity of the upper class people are revealed in the details, but it forms a unique style that is impressive.

Lance couldn't help but lighten the sound of his footsteps, and the small sound disappeared into the heavy carpet, as if he were stepping on clouds. In the distance, Lance saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure, and his steps couldn't help but pause slightly, obviously a little surprised. However, Lance didn't come out, but looked around with the rest of his eyes - maybe the man had just come here for dinner, and had nothing to do with him, he tried to find George Clooney, but there was no sign around, on the contrary, Julia's footsteps were already moving towards the man.

"Mr. Strello." Julia paused, with her hands behind her back, turned around and looked at Lance with a smile, indicating that they had reached their destination.

Sure enough, it was the familiar and unfamiliar figure just now.

Lance looked at the other party, frowned slightly, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "So, let me guess, George has a date and left first?" ”

The slightly ridiculous joke made the other party laugh too, "This explanation is much better than my version." The other party put the white wine glass in his hand on the table, and pointed to the chair opposite him with his right hand, "Sorry to disappoint you." I know it would have looked a lot better if it had Catherine Zeta-Jones or Nicole Kidman sitting here right now, but ......" The other man spread his hands and pointed to the slightly bulging belly of beer under the table, with a teasing smile on his face.

Julia walked over to Lance, who raised his hand to stop Julia's movements, took off his coat himself, and then handed it to Julia, nodded with a smile, and whispered, "Please give me a Loire aperitif, thank you." Then he sat down on a black wooden bench.

Julia took a step, and after taking a few steps, she couldn't help but look back again: these two people are not George Clooney, could it be that the reservation was wrong? But when she thought about it, Julia put her doubts away and hurried back to her job.

"Let me clarify first, did you meet me today as the CEO of Warner Bros., or did you meet here as a friend of George?" Lance adjusted his sitting position and joked gracefully, as if he was not at all alarmed by the unexpected situation in front of him.

Obviously, Barry Meyer's appearance here today is definitely not an accident, George made an appointment to meet Lance, but it was Barry who appeared in front of Lance, this qiē must have been arranged in advance. But the question is, why? Is today's dinner a Hongmen feast?

Barry chuckled at Lance's question, "Is there a difference?" ”

Of course, there is a difference, if it is in the capacity of Warner Bros. CEO, it is a business, and Barry can make an appointment with Guò Cole or Percy, and Guò George to achieve this goal, and the chances of the Hongmen banquet are great; But if it's a friend, that means personal relationships are the theme of tonight - the point is, Lance and Barry don't have any personal relationships.

But Lance didn't break it, but shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know, maybe it means, how exactly should I order this dinner." "As the most Michelin-starred restaurant in Manhattan, it costs a lot, but Lance is clearly joking.

Barry laughed, "Don't worry, I've already handed over George's credit card to Julia." ”

So...... At the heart of this dinner is the idea of personal bonding. (To be continued.) )
