After Daniel Lewis finished speaking, he looked at Wu Jianye and was very proud of his decision. Yesterday at the revolving restaurant in the TV tower, he was slapped in the face by Wu Jianye with the song "One Summer's Day", and today Wu Jianye slapped him in the face. Humiliation, that's what Daniel Lewis thought for himself.

He wants to find a place for himself, but there is no good way. Now it is during the Berlin Film Festival, even if he is a Hollywood superstar, this is still a stage for participating films, so he has no good way to think about it In the professional field to find their own space.

But fortunately, he suddenly thought of the phone call from Sotheby's Auction House. They will hold a spring auction in Berlin tomorrow. Since there is no other way in the professional field, it can only be simple. Crudely crushed with money.

How much money can a Huaxia director have? Even if he is Kun, besides a big-selling album and writing several blockbuster movie scripts, he can't think of Wu Jianye's other sources of money.

Such a sum of money may be a huge amount of money in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is not much in front of a figure like Daniel Lewis.

As for Wu Jianye, he doesn't like Daniel Lewis at all. Even though he is a world-renowned actor, he is still worthless to Wu Jianye.

So even if there was Daniel Lewis' behavior of showing off his wealth last night, Wu Jianye didn't take it seriously, and slapped his face back on the spot, and the matter was over.

But now that Daniel Lewis is showing his face again, it is still in his best place, Wu Jianye is impossible to let go.

When it comes to making movies, Wu Jianye still has many admirers in this world, but when it comes to earning money, one person in the world counts as one. Wu Jianye still doesn't know who can bring pressure to him.

"Oh, by the way, I remembered that Sotheby's spring auction requires an invitation letter and a deposit. I don't know if Director Wu has an invitation letter. It would be a pity if he didn't. I am very interested in the culture of China, and the same is true for that antique. Looking at this Huaxia shareholder, I can only be brought back to the United States, just like other Huaxia antiques."

Daniel Lewis laughed.

At this time, anyone could hear the disdain in Daniel Lewis' tone. Only He Qing knew some English, but Daniel Lewis spoke very fast and contained a lot of information. He didn't understand and seemed a little confused.

When Zhang Manyu was just about to argue with Daniel Lewis, Wu Jianye grabbed Zhang Manyu's arm, then faced Daniel Lewis, smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I think tomorrow's auction will definitely It will be very interesting!"

Daniel Lewis also laughed: "I think so too!"

Although Isabel Adjani thinks this is a bit inappropriate, Daniel Lewis is her boyfriend after all, and she is not good at saying anything in public, but when the two left, she whispered to Daniel Lewis: "Honey, we don't have to Such!"

Daniel Lewis patted Isabel Adjani's hand and said, "It's okay, I just want to teach that Huaxia director a lesson, don't worry, I won't do anything to him!"

Looking at the backs of the two, Wu Jianye said goodbye to Bruno Nuyton with a smile on his face.

When they returned to the hotel, He Qing also knew what happened just now from Zhang Manyu.

Came to Wu Jianye's room.

Just as Wu Jianye put down the phone, seeing He Qing's nervousness, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Director Wu, are you going to participate in tomorrow's auction?" He Qing asked softly.

Wu Jianye nodded: "Yes, since there are treasures from our country, it is natural to take them home!"

He Qing thought for a while, took out some marks from the bag he brought, handed them to Wu Jianye, and said, "Director Wu, this is the mark I exchanged before I came to Berlin. Although it is not many, it can help a little bit." busy."

Wu Jianye chuckled and said, "So you were worried that I didn't have enough money. When you came just now, Zhang Manyu didn't stop you!"

Because He Qing was in China, he didn't know his details, but Zhang Manyu, as an actor in Xiangjiang, couldn't possibly not know his details.

He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, she said that I don't have to worry about it, and she didn't tell me the reason, but I think anything can happen at the auction, and it's always right to bring more money!"

Wu Jianye nodded. It seems that Zhang Manyu still understands that he is the boss behind the scenes in Xiangjiang, and he does not want to cause too much trouble in China, so Zhang Manyu just persuaded He Qing not to worry, but did not tell He Qing the specifics. reason.

"Don't worry, you won't spend much money at the auction, you should save the money to buy some gifts for your mother!"

Naturally, it was impossible for Wu Jianye to take He Qing's money, so he smiled and asked He Qing to take the money back.

When He Qing returned to her and Zhang Manyu's room, Zhang Manyu looked at He Qing with a smile and said, "Well, I said Director Wu won't want it, you, don't worry, that Daniel Lewis did it purely for his own sake .”

Then Zhang Manyu said with some resentment: "I liked the actor Daniel Lewis before, but I didn't expect him to be such a person. I don't like him at all!"

He Qing sat on his bed, looked at Zhang Manyu worriedly, and asked, "Are you really going to be fine?"

Zhang Manyu walked up to He Qing, and said with a smile, "Just put your mind at ease!"

The next day!

Early in the morning, Matthew Murphy came to Wu Jianye's room and sent him an invitation letter for Sotheby's spring auction.

"Director Wu, everything is ready, do you have any orders?"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said with a smile, "No need."

"Okay, then Director Wu can just call me if you have any orders in the future!"

"Ok!"

For others, the invitation letter of Sotheby's auction may be very rare, but for Wu Jianye, it is just a matter of a phone call.

While dining in the restaurant in the morning, Wu Jianye saw Daniel Lewis and Isabel Adjani who were also staying in the hotel again.

After Daniel Lewis saw Wu Jianye, he walked over with a smile and said, "Director Wu, do you want me to take you into the auction? I still have some friendship with Sotheby's executives."

Wu Jianye didn't raise his head, but said flatly, "No need."

Daniel Lewis smiled and left. In his opinion, this was just Wu Jianye's last struggle.

Wu Jianye finished breakfast first and left the restaurant.

Daniel Lewis looked at Wu Jianye's back, smiled and said nothing.

Soon Daniel Lewis and Isabel Adjani also finished their breakfast, and the car service they booked was already waiting at the entrance of the hotel.

The two got into the car and went directly to the Sotheby's Spring Auction.

As one of the most famous auctions in the world, the specifications of Sotheby's spring auction will naturally not be low. It can be said that many well-known collectors have gathered here today.

Daniel Lewis and Isabel Adjani may be the most well-known on the scene, but they are definitely not the richest. In front of these gangsters, even Daniel Lewis can only bend down to shake hands with each other, or offer them gifts. own smile.

However, when he saw that Wu Jianye was actually sitting in the venue, he was still slightly taken aback. He didn't expect Wu Jianye to actually come in.

But then Daniel Lewis was relieved. After all, Wu Jianye is still famous in Europe and the United States. Sotheby's auction house wants to enhance his popularity. If Wu Jianye proposes to participate in this spring auction of Sotheby's auction house Yes, the other party is likely to give a green light.

In fact, there is no need to go into too much detail about the auction process. Everyone who comes to the auction will get an introduction to the auction.

In fact, before the preparations for the auction started, it had already been sent to everyone who was going to participate in the auction, so many people just held it and didn't look at it.

Wu Jianye only found out about this auction yesterday, so he is now watching the introduction of today's auction with great interest.

Among them, what interested Wu Jianye the most was naturally the Chinese antiques mentioned by Daniel Lewis.

This is a seated bronze gilt Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty, and there is also an introduction to this seated statue on it.

In this auction, there are not only Chinese antiques, but also European ones. Wu Jianye saw in the album a snake-shaped emerald inlaid gemstone given to Queen Victoria by Prince Albert in the Victorian period. engagement ring.

The spirit snake symbolized eternal love at the time.

At the same time, there is also an oil painting called "Iris" by Van Gogh (this painting was actually put up for auction in 1988, but it was postponed for several months in order to serve the content of this book, everyone understands! )

When Wu Jianye was reading the introduction, several white men in suits and leather shoes walked into the auction. Among them, a man in his early 30s with blond hair walked in front, obviously the leader of these people.

When Daniel Lewis saw him, his eyes lit up, he quickly stood up in his place, and walked over with Isabel Adjani.

"Mr. Johnson, I didn't expect you to come to this Sotheby's auction!" Daniel Lewis said with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Johnson!" Isabel Adjani also greeted each other with a smile on her face.

"Haha, it turned out to be Daniel and Isabel. By the way, I remembered that Isabel is going to participate in this year's Berlin Film Festival!" Johnson laughed, but when talking about the Berlin Film Festival, Johnson's voice was full of dissatisfaction. nature.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Mr. Johnson to know about this, so you did it this time too?" Daniel Lewis asked.

The Johnson family's business in Los Angeles is very large, especially in the past few years. The Johnson family was only a small family in Los Angeles ten years ago, but after ten years of development, it has become the leading family in Los Angeles. One of the big family.

As the entertainment capital of North America, the Johnson family has naturally been involved in the entertainment industry extensively. However, they did not participate in the film production industry, but did the theater and distribution business. Now they are one of the largest theater companies in North America.

Daniel Johnson also seems to maintain a good relationship with the other party, after all, movies cannot do without the support of theaters.

Johnson smiled and said: "I came here this time to participate in this auction. My grandfather likes to collect antiques very much. This time I want to prepare a gift for him. As for the Berlin Film Festival, other people are in charge!"

Johnson's grandfather likes to collect antiques, which is something that the whole of Hollywood knows. He is also the head of the Johnson family, and his descendants will spare no effort to please him.

Chatting with them, when Johnson was about to go to his place, he suddenly saw a person who he didn't want to see in the crowd who came to the auction this time!
At this time, Wu Jianye also felt that someone was looking at him, and when he raised his head, he also saw Johnson.
In fact, at first glance, Wu Jianye didn't recognize Johnson, but soon he remembered who Johnson was in Johnson's astonished eyes.

Mr. Chamber Pot!

The maker of Wu Jianye's first pot of gold, when Linda occasionally chatted with Wu Jianye, Wu Jianye also knew about Johnson's recent situation. After traveling, Johnson began to return to his family and took over some businesses. , and slowly set his sights on the distribution and theaters of the movie.

Relying on the strength of the family, Johnson has flourished and has now become the fifth largest cinema company in the United States!

This is not available in another time and space, and the effect of butterfly wings is becoming more and more obvious.

Then Wu Jianye smiled and waved to Johnson.

It was impossible for Johnson at this time to leave as soon as he saw Wu Jianye as he did in Xiangjiang. He just glared at Wu Jianye and shook his head.

To this day, Johnson still can't forget the loss he suffered from Wu Jianye. Whenever he sees Wu Jianye, he can remember how his grandfather hanged himself up and beat him.

Originally, he didn't want to come here today, but he knew that Wu Jianye would also participate in this Berlin Film Festival, and he didn't want to run into him, but who would have thought that Murphy's law is so effective, the more you don't think about something, the more you will encounter something.

Wu Jianye remained unmoved and continued to wave at Johnson.

Johnson was helpless, and walked to Wu Jianye's side. He was worried that Wu Jianye would call him, and he was also worried that Wu Jianye would tell the people around him about his embarrassing things back then.

Daniel Lewis naturally saw all this. When he saw Wu Jianye waving at them, his first thought was that Wu Jianye was waving at himself, but after seeing Johnson's reaction, he realized that they knew each other.

Then I saw Johnson walking over, and Daniel Lewis, who didn't know what was going on, led Isabel Adjani and walked over.

Johnson walked up to Wu Jianye and said in a bad tone, "Why are you here?"

Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Mr. Daniel invited me over!"

Daniel Lewis: "."
