Chapter 56: This is Art

Had a lot of alcohol last night, so Hall's breakfast was light: a glass of milk, two slices of toast, and a bowl of fresh strawberries were all there.

Brandon had a similar breakfast as he did, except for an extra fish roll and vegetable salad.

It's not to accompany the small boss in weal and woe, mainly according to the mainstream culture of society, eating high-calorie greasy food means that there is no self-control, and only the poor are obese. Elites should love life and eat healthy food......

Monte doesn't care about these claims at all, and Mei Zizi enjoys the calorie bomb - the Benedict egg.

The muffin cake is evenly cut in half and garnished with diced ham and fresh raw salmon flown in from Alaskan waters, topped with a soft-boiled omelette. Gently slicing it with a fork, the egg liquid flows smoothly, and when you take a bite, the flexible chewiness of the cake and the umami of the salmon can be called a complete life.

The top ingredients are combined with the top chef of the St. Regis Hotel, so that a breakfast costs at least one or two hundred dollars, and the small boss will reimburse the travel expenses, and he will not eat in vain.

Hall looked at him leisurely tasting the food, the strawberries in the bowl were not sweet in an instant, wiped his mouth and asked, "How's the progress of your investigation?" ”

"Uh, do you mean Lady Ariana's husband? New York State does have a senator with the surname 'Pau Tao Ki' – George Pau Tao Kee, a member of the Elephant Party. Ms. Eliana's husband and George Paulaki are relatives, and the exact relationship needs to be confirmed. Monte reported.

Hall thought for a moment: "This matter is over, it would be rude to investigate further, after all, we are just partners." ”

He has no intention of getting involved in American politics for the time being, and the political situation in this country is more complicated than in England, and he can try not to participate in it.

"Yes, Lady Ariana said she would see you off when we return to London." Monte picked up his knife and fork again, ready to go.

Brandon continued: "The ticket is booked, and the red-eye flight tomorrow night will avoid jet lag." ”

"Very good, those business cards I received yesterday, make a list as soon as possible, and you go to buy a batch of Christmas gifts in the next two days. Mrs. Mellon needs to pay special attention...... Let's send a copy to the ship's daughter. ”

Giving gifts requires experience, and Hall would have wanted Monte to do it with him, but it looks like he's done a pretty good job of detailing his work lately.

"Larry Gagosian called in the morning and said he would like to visit you at 10 a.m. this morning." Brandon flipped through his notebook and said, "The reason is that I was very speculative to talk to you about movies last night, and I want to recommend a movie to you." ”

Hall frowned, "Do you think you should see him?" ”

"In fact, he told me that he wanted to make up for the image in front of you, that he had only a little business relationship with the biker gang we encountered on the night we arrived in Manhattan.

I can't quite understand why he's so enthusiastic, and under normal circumstances, it's not in the best interest. A partner with whom a business relationship has a business relationship is clearly worth a little more than an acquaintance with an English aristocrat with an unknown attitude. Brandon said truthfully.

The corners of Hall's mouth curled slightly: "A 'broker' in the rising stage of his career, his style of acting cannot be measured by conventional logic. ”

He used to be a broker himself, and he knew very well that the business was growing vertically. As long as there is a borrowing point that can break through the original rank, you can take off vertically.

In contrast, the value of horizontal resources is much higher than that of the same rank, as long as there is a slight opportunity, it is worth betting on it.

"So you want to accept his visit?" Brandon asked.

"Accept it, since he's working so hard, he has to give it a chance. You know, I like self-motivated people. ”

Hall stretched and turned his head to look out of Manhattan through the floor-to-ceiling windows: "Also, I'm standing a little tall now, and I can only see the beautiful view of the tall buildings, and the garbage on the street needs to be cleaned up." ”

As you develop your career, you will inevitably get involved in the gray area on the edge of the law, which will not be determined by the will of the individual who wants to or does not want to.

Therefore, Larry Gagosian, the future "King of Brokers" in the world's most famous art collecting circle, is a good choice for cleaners.

The premise is that it can be approved by him.

The peer boss who needed to look up to in his previous life is now doing everything he can to please him, just to get an illusory recognition......

Hall suddenly had the feeling that he was the villain in the movie, especially when Larry Gagosian came to visit with the girl from the movie "Once Upon a Time in America".

"Hello Mr. Hall, I'm the actor of Daborah, Jennifer." Jennifer Connelly greeted with a sweet smile.

"Hello, welcome, please be seated."

Hall looked at Larry and said lightly, "So, the movie you want to recommend to me is a gangster crime movie?" ”

"I personally understand it as an entrepreneurial movie, this movie tells the story of several teenagers from the bottom, rolling at the bottom of the society full of mud, using all means to desperately develop their careers and cross classes." Larry has half of his ass on the sofa and seriously introduces the plot.

Hall crossed Erlang's legs, leaned against the sofa and said: "I have seen this movie, the protagonist was put in prison for murder, and after he was released from prison, he and his companions continued to commit crimes, and then the government issued [Prohibition], and his career suffered a lot.

The companions plot to rob the bank, and the protagonist has suffered from prison and does not want his companions to die, so he secretly calls the police. There's a plot, right? ”

Larry sits more and more upright, with his hands on his laps: "Yes, in this plot, the human struggle of the protagonist is the highlight of the whole film. ”

Hall smiled, "I think Ms. Connelly's dance is the highlight of the whole film, and it's beautiful." ”

"I think so, too, as you said last night: no one doesn't love beauty. I think the best way to learn about a movie is to talk directly to the characters who come out of the screen. ”

Larry breathed a sigh of relief, dissociated himself from the damn Nigo, and got the young nobleman in front of him to understand that he was halfway there. The next half of the goal is successfully achieved, even if the relationship is really climbed.

Hall praised, "It's breaking down the fourth wall in acting, and it's a very artistic approach. ”

"Yes, that's art!"

Larry nodded repeatedly, "Actually, it's not just a way to break the fourth wall, there is a boxing match in Queens tonight, and this kind of occasion can really feel the gangster atmosphere created in "Once Upon a Time in America". I would like to invite you to watch the game and interpret art from different perspectives. ”

"That's a lot of tricks." Hall thought to himself, but reluctantly accepted the other party's invitation for the sake of art.

After making an appointment to watch a boxing match in the evening, Larry took his own leave, leaving Hall and Connery a separate space to discuss art.

The bridge of the nose is straight, the chin is round, and the baby fat on the cheeks is quite delicate. Compared with the appearance in the movie three years ago, there is less amazing fairy spirit, and the appearance of the 17/8-year-old is beautiful.

Hall looked at Connery with appreciative eyes, "To be honest, I was surprised that Larry could invite you." ”

"Hmm...... I was also a little surprised. My mother, who works in the antiques trade, is good friends with Mr. Larry, and they had a phone call late last night saying they wanted me to recommend a film today for a young gentleman from England. "Connery's voice is a bit magnetic, and it sounds laid-back.

Holding his chin in his hand, Hall asked thoughtfully, "Once again, how are you going to recommend it to me?" ”
