Chapter 102: Restaurants
Li Xianyun turned around when he heard the sound and saw Isabella standing behind him, his face full of disbelief.
She walked over, pointed at Li Xianyun, and said angrily: "Liar! You're a liar! You can speak English, but you pretend you can't. ”
Li Xianyun was happy.
He looked behind Isabella, where no one was following her, and said with a smile: "Thank you for speaking up for me before, and I apologize for my previous dishonesty." ”
Ha!
The man in front of me not only spoke English, but was also extremely pure, with no accent problem at all. If you don't look at his face, you will even think that he is a Mi countryman.
Isabella was surprised, "You ......"
Li Xianyun had already gotten up and pulled out the chair opposite Isabella for him: "Please sit, I invite you to have a drink, for my rude behavior before." ”
Isabella hugged her arms and squinted at Li Xianyun: "You are a hypocritical person, I don't want to accept an invitation from someone like you." ”
"What a terrible first impression." Li Xianyun was helpless: "But at least I am not an unreasonable person, not a tyrannical person, not a person who likes to engage in racial discrimination and bully others." Which one do you think is more hateful than these? ”
"It's all bad." Isabella looked at Li Xianyun: "How did you get out of Qiao Geli's men?" ”
"With legs." Li Xianyun replied.
Isabella rolled her eyes.
Li Xianyun stretched out his hand and pointed to his seat again: "If you're not too busy, can you sit down and talk?" ”
Isabella thought for a moment, and finally walked over and sat down: "You don't want to get anything from me this way. ”
"A lot of girls have said things like that to me. The last girl who said that, now loves me to death. Li Xianyun said with a smile.
Isabella pouted dismissively.
Just at this time, the hostess brought beer.
Li Xianyun took out his wallet and handed her a hundred-yuan bill: "Thank you, help me bring a cup to the girl opposite." ”
For the hostess, a 100 yuan tip is a lot of money, and she smiled: "Okay sir." ”
Isabella looked at him: "So you're still a rich man?" ”
"There's just no change." Li Xianyun casually put his wallet aside: "To be honest, the country is too backward." ”
"What did you say?" Isabella was surprised.
"I said that the country is backward, and even electronic payments are not popularized until now, and it is cash at every turn."
"That's right, it's easy to rob, so you'd better put your wallet away." Isabella said.
"Not only backward, but also barbaric." Li Xianyun shook his head and put his wallet away.
"In the eyes of the people of the United States, Huaguo is such a place."
"I'm not surprised that a lot of people think this way. What about you? Li Xianyun asked with a smile.
Isabella shrugged, "I know something. You have a lot of great people there, like Lee. ”
"Lian Jie Li?"
"No, Xianyun Li."
Exercise!
Is it me?
Li Xianyun smiled: "It turns out that you know him." ”
Isabella wondered, "Of course, they're coming over to make a movie, aren't you one of his?" ”
Li Xianyun nodded: "I am indeed a person from Yisheng Media. ”
Isabella leaned over and said: "I heard that they are very powerful, they have very advanced film and television shooting technology, but unfortunately they never want to improve more cutting-edge technology, do not want to expand the market, create better film art, but just desperately squeeze workers and reduce costs." They do not promote art, and make film an industrial model, which is the main culprit of artistic degeneration. ”
"That sounds familiar." Li Xianyun thought for a while and slapped his forehead: "I remember, it seems to have been used to talk about Hollywood at first." ”
Belch......
Isabella was speechless for a moment.
That's right, before Yisheng Media, it was Hollywood that turned filmmaking from art to industry.
And until now, Hollywood has been trying to promote the industrialization of the film and television industry.
It's just that unlike the direction of Yisheng Media, their goal has always been a higher-end film and television audio-visual experience, while Yisheng Media has always used a lower cost to achieve the effect of existing artistic expression - the direction of the two is diametrically opposed.
But that's only because of the difference in dependence - the industrial assembly line is also made by the people of the United States, and if they can reduce costs, it is strange that they don't do it.
Isabella shook her head: "Well, that's true. ”
She looked at Li Xianyun's face: "Is your face okay?" ”
"It's fine." Li Xianyun shrugged indifferently.
Just then, the waitress came up with beer.
Isabella shook her head: "I can't drink too much, I have to control my weight." ”
"It's okay, just feel free."
"By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Isabella Brent, what about you? ”
Li Xianyun scratched his scalp and did not answer.
Isabella wondered: "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" ”
Li Xianyun thought for a while and replied: "That's right, considering that I was just called a shameless liar who lied by you, and I also apologized for it, so if I continue to lie, it will appear to be an apology just now...... Very insincere. ”
Isabella looked at him in surprise: "You have to lie about your name?" ”
Li Xianyun was helpless: "I don't want to lie to you, so ...... I think it's better not to say it. ”
Isabella spread her hands: "What your name is meaningless to me, because I can't figure out the difference between your names, unless your name is Xianyun Li, otherwise...... Oh my! ”
Isabella's eyes widened.
She looked Li Xianyun up and down, looked at the well-made clothes he was wearing, and then thought about the wallet he had just taken out seemed to be a luxury brand, which might be worth more than the cash inside, as well as the generous tip.
She opened her mouth wide: "Are you ...... Plum? ”
Li Xianyun smiled and nodded: "Yes, you see, this is the reason why I was embarrassed just now." Especially after you just said bad things about Yisheng Media. ”
"That's not a bad thing, that's a fact!" The little girl was a little angry and shouted at Li Xianyun.
Then she laughed to herself: "Well, whether it's true or not, I should apologize." I shouldn't say that about you, technology is technology, no matter what you use it in. ”
As she spoke, she raised her glass: "Now we're even." ”
"That's right, it's flat." Li Xianyun raised his wine glass.
They sat and chatted like this, and Li Xianyun also learned about Isabella's situation by the way.
As Li Xianyun knows, Isabella was pushed into Hollywood by her mother in an attempt to turn her into a cash cow. Fortunately, Isabella does have a talent in this industry, and the films she starred in not long ago performed well and became a little famous.
So under the impetus of her mother, she also took over some advertising business, of course, not an endorsement, or the simplest advertising model.
She is not yet qualified to receive endorsements, but according to Isabella, her mother is actively campaigning as her agent.
"She has high hopes for me, but I don't like it at all." Isabella sighed.
"You hate making movies?" Li Xianyun asked.
"No, I love it, I like the way it feels, but not the way she does."
"In what way?" Li Xianyun asked.
There's a hint of disgust in Isabella's eyes: "The way you guys like the most." ”
Li Xianyun was surprised: "Your mother? Forcing you to do that? ”
