In the kitchen of Jean Georges, Jude and Sophie Marceau witnessed Jean Georges make a new dish.

"Flounder is thick and has few spines, it's tender and creamy, and it's as easy to eat as cod, but the most special part of this dish is the sauce, which I made with a lot of stock and cream from the French Jura mountains, and I can taste three different flavors in it." Jean-Georges, who worked in Bangkok, Singapore and Hong Kong for a while before opening in New York, has made the biggest change to French cuisine by reinventing the traditional rich and creamy broth base into a refreshing vegetable juice, fruity aroma and clear soup, as well as a significant use of spices to create exotic Asian flavours.

Sophie Marceau dipped her finger in it and tasted it, and the appearance of sucking her finger was unique.

"Well, I tasted a faint booze and a rich milky aroma, Locke, you can try it too!"

She handed the plate to Jude, and the sauce on the plate took on a beautiful orange color because of the addition of yellow wine, and it looked delicious.

Because the act of sucking his fingers could easily evoke some kind of evil association, Jude finally gave up on tasting it, and just held the plate to his nose and sniffed it.

"I think there's fresh vegetable juice in it, and I'm familiar with the smell."

Together, he and Sophie Marceau's answers make up exactly three flavors.

"Exactly!" Jean-Georges proudly explains how to use the sauce, and mentions that he is currently working on a book about gastronomy, which includes some of the new dish. Because Jude and Sophie Marceau were the first guests to taste the dish. He really wanted to be able to take a photo with the two of them with this dish.

Neither Jude nor Sophie Marceau refused.

Looking at Jean-Georges, who took out his camera and was about to take a photo with Jude and Sophie Marceau, Bastien turned his head sideways and asked Litte next to him, "Do you think we need to stop it?" ”

Li Te shook his head and said, "Probably not." The credibility of Jean Georges in this regard can be trusted. ”

Bastian glanced at Litter suspiciously, always feeling that there was some hidden information in the other party's words.

Litt didn't mean to explain. There was only one hint: "Didn't Mr. Bastian think it was a good headline for Locke and Miss Marceau to dine at the Jean Georges restaurant?" ”

Bastian snorted coldly: "Mr. Ritter, Sophie has not officially agreed to play the heroine of "Spy Shadows" yet!" ”

"I don't mean to be offensive when I say this, but in fact, no actor who has read Locke's script can say 'no' to him, and I believe Miss Marceau will be no exception."

Bastian suspected that Littlet was deliberately making a noise by saying this, but he did not continue to refute it.

Coming out of the Jean Georges restaurant, Jude felt sorry for Litte in the first thing he said when he got in the car.

"You should have left Jean-Georges a business card just now."

"And then it's convenient for you to book a table here later?"

"No, no, you misunderstood me. I mean, you can try to turn Jean-George into your client. ”

"What did you say?" Leet stared at Jude with wide eyes, "You're asking me to be an agent for a chef?" ”

"To be precise, it's an agent for a chef with tens of millions of assets."

"Does it make a difference?"

"Of course there is a difference." Jude looked at Litt with a serious face: "What do you think a world-class chef will become if he goes up further?" ”

The word "God of Cooking" came to Lee's mind, but he didn't know how the word should be expressed in English, the God of Chefs? He was sure that if he really translated like that, he would definitely be ridiculed by Jude for the rest of his life.

Jude announced the answer: "The top chef is the king of chefs, but there are many chefs in the world who are as good as Jean Georges, so this goal is difficult to achieve." ”

Li Tet looked at Jude with a puzzled face: "Does this have anything to do with the topic we are talking about?" ”

Jude narrowed his eyes and asked rhetorically, "Why is it okay?" It's hard to be a king among chefs, but what about taking a step back and becoming a star among chefs? ”

A simple word. But it gave Litte more ideas.

Jean Georges was able to operate with such an exaggerated reputation, and Jean-Georges relied only on his own culinary skills? Even Leet himself didn't believe it.

In fact, if you carefully study the history of Jean Georges, it is not difficult to conclude that Jean-George's philosophy of running a restaurant is strikingly similar to that of Hollywood packaging stars, which is why Jude said that he wants to be the star of the chefs.

Come to think of it. Li Tee couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Are you sure he really needs an agent?"

"Imagine a 29-year-old chef who has his restaurant awarded a four-star rating by the New York Times in just three months, and has been named one of the Best New Restaurants and Most Outstanding Chef by the Jem Bayer Foundation. Then he won three Michelin stars in one fell swoop. The world's top 50 restaurants and many other awards, will such a person be a simple guy? It's obvious. Jean-Georges is not only the best chef in the world, but also the most successful and shrewd businessman. And he is now not just satisfied with the halo effect brought by celebrities and celebrity dining. He wanted to make himself a star, so he began to publish books and participate in various TV shows...... Although there are still some differences between packaging chefs and packaging artists, I think you can give it a try. ”

Leeter was very interested in Jude's cross-border brokerage matter, but Jude refused to continue the conversation and had to change the topic.

"Did you contact the car company get a result?"

Leet was still thinking about Jean-George and the food he was making, when Jude suddenly asked about the car, and his mind suddenly turned a little bit.

"Contact the car company? Are you ready to buy a car? ”

Jude covered his forehead with his hand, utterly speechless.

"I'm talking about sponsoring the crew's filming car!"

"I'm sorry you didn't remind me that I almost forgot about it." Litte patted his head vigorously and squeezed out all the irrelevant thoughts, "On the American side, GM and Ford are very interested in sponsoring cars, don't you really think about it?" ”

Jude thought for a moment and said, "You can consider using their cars when filming those scenes in New York, but they have to be common models in the current market, and I'm making movies, not advertising their new cars." ”

Leeter took out a pen and paper and jotted down Jude's request, which he was going to bring up when he was going to negotiate further with the two car companies.

"What about the car companies in Europe? How's the talk? Jude continued to ask.

"Volkswagen was very interested in the car that appeared in the first episode, and they were willing to provide the crew with the latest generation of Golf for filming." After entering the state, the way of thinking and the organization of Litte's speech became clearer.

Jude waited a few seconds and couldn't help but ask, "Are there no other conditions?" For example, advertising sponsorship fees. ”

Litt looked up in surprise and glanced at Jude.

"You want Volkswagen to sponsor this film?"

"With such an obvious advertising placement, shouldn't Volkswagen pay us for advertising?"

"I'm afraid not!" Li Tee smiled wryly and shook his head, "Golf is selling well right now, and Volkswagen will definitely not waste money on sponsoring film shoots." ”

"Waste?" Jude frowned.

"Okay, I might not be the right word, but there's really no shortage of us to help it advertise that, unless you're willing to give a few prominent close-ups of car signs in the movie."

Litt was just making an analogy, and he knew Jude would definitely not do it.

The car that appeared in the first part of "Spy", Jude's most wanted to use the model was actually the Beetle, which was the local Volkswagen company that had been discontinued since the 80s, and the Beetle, which was once a symbol of the times, is now rare on European roads.

And the three generations of the Golf mentioned by Litte before, although the size and length also meet the requirements of the shooting, Jude does not like the shape of the car very much, and Volkswagen's willingness to sponsor the filming is not strong, so it is also excluded.

"Volkswagen can't do it, then go to BMW to talk!"

After Jude finished speaking, Leet didn't respond for a long time.

It's not that he doesn't want to answer, it's that he simply doesn't know what to say.

"I'm sorry, but BMW doesn't seem to have ever produced a small car in Europe, right?"

"Isn't the MINI just BMW's small car?"

"Isn't the MINI a product of Rover UK?"

This question and answer confused both of them, and in order to verify whether it was right or wrong, Li Teh immediately called the manual inquiry desk and asked about the matter in detail.

"Sir, Rover has been sold to BMW last year by British Airways, which is controlled by the company, and the MINI brand has also been included in BMW, I wonder if you are satisfied with this answer?"

Li Te slowly put down his phone, ready to be ridiculed by Jude.

But Jude was uncharacteristically sarcastic and sarcastic, but as if this incident had not happened at all, he directly talked to Leete about the issue of cooperation with BMW.

"With the acquisition of Rover, BMW will definitely make a re-planning for the MINI brand, and before that, they will definitely hope that the brand value of MINI will continue to be retained, and it should be easier to convince them to sponsor the filming of the film."

The car that appeared in the first part of the original "Spy Shadow" is MINI, and the exposure rate of this car on the big screen is definitely no less than that of any acting superstar: in the sensational old version of "Stealing the Day" in 1969, 3 Mini loaded with gold bricks galloped through the streets and underground tunnels of Turin, Italy, becoming a temple-level car chase scene in an action movie; In "Mr. Bean", which began to be broadcast in the UK in the 90s, the bright yellow MINI car became one of the most important props for Rowan Atkinson's funny performance.

In the absence of a better model to replace, the MINI becomes the only option. (To be continued......)
