"Last year, a master bartender rose to prominence in Los Angeles with a genius and skill to create new cocktails such as paper airplanes, penicillin, expansion screws and cannons!"

Hundreds of people gathered at the venue, and the president of the International Association of Bartenders was ready to present an important award on the podium: "She is Louise Meyer, a new master, she is a new legend in the bartending industry, so we will officially award her the title of master and award her with a special contribution trophy." ”

He raised his voice: "Welcome Louise Mayer to the stage!" ”

Martin stood up and applauded, and Louise stood up, hugged him tightly, and excitedly bit on his ear, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "Thank you." ”

At this moment, she smiled brightly, and there was nothing more proud of her life.

Movies are just work, bartending is a hobby.

Louise wore a long dress and strode towards the rostrum.

Martin motioned for the people around him to get up.

The number of new cocktails "created" by international bartender master Louise in the past year was staggering, and the bartenders around her got up one after another, driving the whole venue to stand up.

When Louise took the stage and received the jade trophy in the shape of a wine glass, most of the audience gave a standing ovation.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely warm.

Louise raised the Emerald Trophy, her eyes moistened slightly, stood in front of the microphone, and said, "Thank you to my assistant Martin, without him I wouldn't be where I am today." In addition, I bring two new cocktail recipes: The Godmother and The Rain. There are also three reworked recipes for classic cocktails, which you are welcome to taste later in the reception. ”

The participants were either bartenders or senior drunkards, and when they heard this, they applauded even more enthusiastically.

Louise stepped down from the stage, greeted by countless bartenders along the way.

Over the years, there have been very few new and widespread cocktails that can be called classics, and Louise has created many of them in the last year.

Louise returned, and the Emerald Trophy was handed to Martin: "Half of yours." ”

Martin deliberately said: "It's an honor to have half of me." ”

Louise was excited, hugging Martin and giving him a long kiss.

Martin saw Louise's flames rise and simply gave her a wet kiss.

After a long time, the two separated.

Louise said, "I suddenly had an idea? ”

As soon as Martin pouted her ass, he knew which position she wanted to use: "You wouldn't want to make a biopic of yourself, would you?" ”

Louise arrived home embarrassed, and nodded again and again: "Yes! The only female bartender master, in a few years, will definitely be the queen of bartending, that is a world-class legend, make an autobiography of mine, and the actress can win an Oscar! ”

Martin asked, "I'm acting in my true colors." ”

"No, there can't be you, absolutely can't have you." Louise realized a key problem: "I'm the queen of bartending, not the queen of scams." ”

At the beginning of the evening, Louise's excitement passed, and her mentality gradually returned to normal, and she decided not to mention the matter of making a personal biopic.

She personally demonstrated several new cocktails, taught a group of bartenders, and gave way to the bar.

A large number of people came to greet Louise, and Martin accompanied her to socialize, looking for a target according to the person's name and the information he had seen last night.

Unexpectedly, a target person took the initiative to come over to say hello.

The chairman personally accompanied a dark and thin middle-aged man, followed by a girl in her 20s.

"Ms. Mel, Mr. Davis, this is Mr. Goh Mo Ting from Burma, and this is his daughter, Miss U Thant." The chairman of the board of directors said: "Mr. Wu is a jewelry merchant, and the jadeite used in this trophy is all sponsored by Mr. Wu. ”

Louise and Martin politely shook hands with Wu Maoting and greeted Wu Dan again.

Both are fluent in English.

After chatting a few cocktails, the Wu father and daughter each got a cocktail that Louise had just made and went somewhere else.

Martin glanced at Wu Maoting again.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was coming, Louise asked, "Has a problem with him?" ”

This is one of the people that Martin focused on last night: "I looked at his profile last night, and this one, to be exact, a jade mine owner. ”

"The right potential investor?" That's all Louise can think about, because she doesn't know much about Burma.

Martin said: "There are a lot of wars in Myanmar that are fighting for jade mines, and the mine owner is actually a small warlord, or an agent supported by a warlord, who rises this year and may fall next year, even if they can keep their family business for a long time, they also like to arrange a more secure path for future generations." ”

Louise understood: "He invested in the film industry? ”

Martin nodded: "Yes, the public information I read yesterday shows that he and his only daughter are shareholders and directors of a film and television production company in Hong Kong City. ”

Jadeite seems to have the highest recognition in East and Southeast Asia, and the port city is an important consumer market.

Louise said, "You have a heart. ”

Martin said: "Although I don't have a good head, I deliberately watched a few more characters related to the film and television industry. ”

Louise nodded: "Yes, you work hard." ”

Martin told the truth: "If I had a background like yours, I wouldn't have started a business if I was killed, and I would have been waiting to die a long time ago." ”

Seeing that there was no one around Wu Maoting, he said, "I'll go and test it, and if it doesn't work, I'll withdraw." ”

Louise encouraged him: "The current efforts are related to your bright future." ”

This is very similar to what Martin often said to Thomas, P people will be P people after all.

Martin took a glass of wine, turned around, and quietly came to Wu Maoting's side, and the two happened to meet everywhere.

"Hi, Mr. Wu." Martin said with a smile: "That jade trophy is very chic, this oriental green jewelry, giving people a noble beauty. ”

He asked, "I heard that there is also a top-grade imperial green jade?" ”

Wu Maoting responded: "It is relatively rare and quite precious. ”

Martin asked, "Do you have it in Mr. Wu's hands?" Louise is going to a premiere red carpet soon, and I'm going to give a special gift, and an imperial green heart pendant will be a good idea. ”

"I don't have it in stock." Wu Maoting heard something he was interested in in Martin's words: "Premiere? Movie premieres? ”

Martin waited until this was the kind of thing to say: "Louise and I are not just bartenders, she is the owner of Hollywood Pacific Pictures, I am a Hollywood movie star, I don't know if you have watched "Horror Wax Museum", I am the actor, and soon I will have a movie in which Louise invested tens of millions of dollars to be released." ”

Hollywood star, Wu Maoting didn't care much, but the boss of the Hollywood film company, he looked up: "I didn't expect Ms. Mel to be so good." ”

Martin knows that Louise is the key: "The youngest female multi-millionaire in Hollywood, one of the most successful female producers, attracting investment from all over the world to make films, prominent businessmen and artists." ”

Thinking that Wu Maoting only had one daughter, he added: "I am also an outstanding alumnus of the USC Film School. ”

After the big ship, Hollywood movies were rampant all over the world, and Wu Maoting was quite curious about Hollywood: "Attract investment from all over the world? ”

Martin said with a smile: "Hollywood is an open film and television production center, attracting talent, technology and capital from all over the world, shooting one wonderful film after another, promoting the development of film art, and giving back to all investors, and there are many filmmakers in Hong Kong City who work hard in Hollywood." ”

Wu Maoting said: "Jack Chen. ”

Martin said: "Kung Fu is impressive. He sighed: "I've watched a lot of Hong Kong City kung fu movies, the early Shaw Brothers, the later Wong Fei Hung, Jack Chen's police story series, and John Wu's action shootout, etc., which can be called classics." ”

Being able to say this, Wu Maoting was impressed by Martin: "It's really classic, my daughter and I are both movie lovers, but it's a pity that the Hong Kong City film market has shrunk, and there have been few good works in recent years." ”

Martin continued: "Many filmmakers in Hong Kong City have gone to Hollywood to develop, most of them have developed well, compared to Jack Chan and Jett Lee, I can only be regarded as a nobody, and John Wu, Tom Cruise named him to direct Mission Impossible 2, and also asked him to design the gunfight scene himself, Mr. Yuan Heping's action direction team is the key to the success of the Matrix series." ”

He didn't mention those who failed, as if the port city could succeed if he went to Hollywood.

Wu Maoting, who has an investment in Hong Kong City Film Company and is interested in Hollywood, asked, "Ms. Mel came here this time not only to attend the bartender conference?" ”

"By the way, Hollywood produces too many movies in a year, and most of them need to be solved by plattering." Martin briefly explained the concept of the platter: "Louise is going to invest in a big project this time, I don't know if Mr. Wu has heard of Zhuang Wenqiang and Mak Siuhui, two Hong Kong City filmmakers?" ”

Wu Maoting nodded: "I know them." ”

Martin said it was just right: "The project is related to them, Warner Bros. bought the adaptation rights of the Hong Kong City film "Infernal Affairs" and prepared to shoot the American version. ”

Wu Maoting recalled: "I seem to have heard someone mention it. ”

Martin continued: "The American version is directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo. ”

"One of the four major directors of Hollywood?" Wu Maoting was not interested, but very interested: "Leonardo of the Titanic? ”

"Yes, that's them!" Martin said the key: "Louise's Pacific Pictures is ready to participate in the investment, and has been in contact with Warner Bros. to negotiate, and the total investment in the film may be around $100 million, so Louise and I came out this time, ready to find like-minded investors." ”

Wu Maoting immediately understood why the other party found him.

Martin said this, took out Louise's business card, and handed it over: "If Mr. Wu is interested, you can contact us." ”

Wu Maoting thought for a moment and accepted it.

When Martin went to find someone else, Wu Maoting left the party, called his entourage, took out his mobile phone and started calling.

He knows Zhuang Mai and the two, but he is not familiar with them, but someone can contact them with the film company involved in the investment.

The next morning, Wu Maoting received detailed information and relevant materials faxed from Los Angeles.

Three more sent, asking for a monthly pass.
