Remember in one second [End of the God Station] Mobile phone user input address: m.xinwanben.com

The "Jurassic World" crew is actively discussing Alberto's appearance, and it is absolutely no trivial matter to have the chairman of the Venice Film Festival appear in person.

This treatment alone is amazing.

In fact, not only the crew members, but even Renly himself had no concept or context, so he had no way of guessing the purpose of Alberto's visit.

However, Renly calmed down habitually. No matter what happened, the soldiers would block the water and cover it up, so he didn't ask in a hurry after the meeting, but chatted with Alberto, as if Alberto's visit was an early appointment The itinerary was so mediocre that the rest of the crew were kept in the dark.

Alberto Barbera stared at the unhurried Renly in front of him. He thought that Renly would be surprised, curious, excited, and explore... Before he appeared, he assumed countless possibilities in his mind, but the reality is However, all his guesses came to nothing, so that he was caught off guard.

Turning his eyes away from Renly, Alberto looked around. The hustle and bustle of joy was surging in the air. The red-hot oven was making fresh pizza on the spot. The rich cheese aroma was mixed with the slightly roasted wheat flavor. , the whole restaurant became sweet and intoxicating, and even the rolling heat wave was so vivid that Alberto couldn't help but think of the original Italian feeling——

And it's not a pizzeria in Rome, it's a taste of Naples.

In the short conversation just now, Alberto and Renly mentioned the habit of having a bottle of beer before dinner. It can be seen that Renly is very familiar with European culture, which also made Alberto want to test Renly. He took the initiative to ask. Went to a small Italian restaurant to chat for a while, and then Renly brought Alberto here.

From the environment to the food, and even the waiters in the restaurant, everything is really from Italy. Alberto and the waiters had a brief conversation in Italian for a while, and learned that the other party was a Catania from Sicily. , while the restaurateur is an authentic Neapolitan.

This restaurant is a family workshop. From the owner to the chef to the accountant and the clerk, the whole backbone and core all come from a huge family - just like the local Italian culture, the owner has also run this authentic Italian restaurant here in New Orleans. For nearly 15 years, it is not a century-old heritage store, but it is also a "veteran" who still chooses to stay after the test of Hurricane Katrina.

Alberto was really, really surprised. It was as if he had truly returned to southern Italy. The feeling of returning home from a wanderer made his mood a little subtle.

"How on earth did you find this place?" Alberto was full of doubts, "Please don't tell me, you anticipated my choice in advance."

"Ha, no." Renly shook his head with a chuckle, "I just fulfilled the responsibilities that a host needs to fulfill. Meeting the requirements and expectations of guests is basic etiquette."

The appearance of Alberto was an absolute accident, and Renly did not expect it at all; but after a simple chat, Renly knew that Alberto did not intend to make a quick decision, which also meant that dinner might be inevitable. So, when the crew went into the finishing touches, Renly did their homework ahead of time.

A truly wise and wise host will not predetermine in advance what the guests want to eat, but should hand over the initiative to the guests and try their best to satisfy the guests.

When negotiating business, many hosts have preconceived notions, such as Japanese guests eating Japanese food, or guests visiting the Imperial City all eating roast duck. This is not correct, because the host has habitually made assumptions and Pre-judgment, there is no room for guests to choose.

Maybe some guests want to be able to eat their own national dishes; maybe some guests want to try local specialties; maybe some guests want a quick business meal... and so on, as a host, you should not pre-set in advance, but should do Be well prepared, if the guest gives the initiative to the host, then the host will make a decision; but if the guest makes a choice, then the host should meet the needs of the guest.

This is etiquette.

This is the case with Renly. He didn't preset Alberto's preferences, but made various preparations in advance. He took advantage of the time to send a text message to Arthur, and conducted a simple investigation of the dining areas and customs in New Orleans— - After all, New Orleans is also a strange city for Renly, and then according to Alberto's request, make the most appropriate choice.

It was the first time that Ren Li had visited the restaurant he was in at this time, but he was able to hide his strangeness and confusion without revealing anything.

Alberto was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help showing a big smile, "God, you are such an interesting guy, are you sure you are not my age?"

Renly's composure and wisdom are no secret in the industry, but everyone takes it for granted that it came from the education of hereditary aristocrats, and very few people mentioned the matter of "young and old" back then. Alberto's intuition inadvertently pierced the truth.

"Ha, that's just a number." Renly said with a smile.

Alberto shook his head, "A very important number for many people." At this time, the waiter had brought the beer, and Alberto raised the bottle, "How is it, do you need a toast?"

"Just pay homage." Renly also raised the bottle and tapped the bottle slightly, "Thank you for coming to the crew to visit, I can imagine now that when I return to the crew tomorrow, those projected eyes will be How envious, I feel that my name is now being

Glittering. "

"Haha." Alberto laughed, "You are a humorous guy." He raised his head and took a sip of beer, but Alberto couldn't hold back after all, "My surprise visit today, you don't seem to be at all. Surprised, no surprise at all, don't you wonder why I came here?"

Judging from what Renly had just said, he pretended that Alberto was just here to visit. But they all knew that Alberto didn't make a special trip to visit the class, and their relationship wasn't close enough yet; just that, without Alberto speaking, Renly pretended not to know that this concentration and Patience made Alberto more interested, so Alberto didn't hide it, and frankly expressed his doubts.

"If I wasn't curious, wouldn't you say it?" Renly gave a rhetorical question, and a smile appeared in Alberto's eyes, "I was just thinking, if I've been pretending not to be curious, wouldn't it be? Something happened, because I always felt that it might not be so easy to get a big person to visit in person, and I thought, I was just imitating an ostrich."

Knowing that this is not the case, Renly's humorous words made Alberto laugh. "Have I told you before? You are such a funny guy, and I like you."

"I know now," Renly replied with a smile, then held up his beer bottle. "Thanks."

"Haha." Alberto laughed again - the whole Italian restaurant was very lively, everyone was talking and laughing, it was really too noisy for French, German or Americans, The eardrums began to tingle, but for Italians, this was their daily life, and Alberto's mood was completely relaxed.

After laughing, Alberto gradually closed his smile and stared at Renly attentively, and a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind:

"Would you like to come and be the jury president of the festival?"

What?

Even though he was as sophisticated and calm as Ren Li, his eyes couldn't help showing a confused gleam, and he frowned slightly, "Is this an official invitation?"

Alberto shrugged, didn't answer, just smiled at Renly.

Renly paused for a moment, then shook his head slowly, "I don't think this is a formal invitation, we're discussing Venice right now."

The Venice Film Festival needs to be constrained by many forces, and Alberto has no way to make the decision. There may be no problem in inviting a young actor like Renly to serve as a jury judge; but the chairman of the jury, that is another story.

Renly didn't think it was going to happen.

Alberto ignored it, still looking firmly at Renly, "You still haven't answered my question."

Renly isn't a fuel-efficient lamp either. "Is it necessary to answer? If it can't happen." He smiled, "I don't like answering hypothetical questions, like, if tomorrow was the end of the world, which would you choose? How did you spend it?"

Alberto raised his chin slightly, showing an expression of interest, "But if it can happen?"

"Then ask me again when it happens." Renly replied again, but still did not answer Alberto's question directly.

Alberto suddenly became curious, "Are you worried about the pressure?" The twenty-four-year-old jury chairman not only needs to bear huge pressure on the film festival, but also the chairman's own aesthetic taste and control ability need to be severely tested ——What should I do if the other judges of the jury are not convinced? These artists are all thorns one by one. If the prestige and ability of the chairman of the jury are not enough, they may become puppets.

Renly raised his eyebrows with a smile in his eyes, "Are you sure we need to continue wasting time on this issue?"

If the Venice Film Festival dared to issue an invitation, then Renly would dare to accept it. He is definitely not the type that shrinks because of pressure, nor is he afraid because of heavy responsibility; on the contrary, he can even be said to be a bit "reckless", since The festival is willing to give him a chance, and he is willing to share his views on the film with fans around the world, there is nothing to fear.

The problem is that it's almost impossible for the Venice Film Festival to invite Renly to chair the jury, so even if Renly says yes, it doesn't make any sense. It's like issues like "The 24 Hours to Life", there is no need to discuss it.
