American fame and fortune

"Last year, a master bartender emerged in Los Angeles. She used genius creativity and skills to create a variety of new cocktails such as paper airplanes, penicillins, expansion screws and Italian cannons!"

Hundreds of people gathered at the venue, and the chairman of the International Bartenders Association was preparing to present an important award on the rostrum: "She is Louise Mayer, a new master, and she is a new legend in the bartending industry, so We will officially confer on her the title of Master and present a special contribution trophy."

He raised his voice. "Welcome Louise Mayer!"

Martin stood up and applauded, Louise stood up, hugged him tightly, nibbled on his ear excitedly, and said in a voice that could only be heard by two people, "Thank you."

At this moment, she smiled brightly, and there is nothing more proud in life than this.

Movies are just work, but bartending is a hobby.

Louise strode towards the rostrum in a long skirt.

Martin motioned to those around him to get up.

Louise, an international master bartender, "created" an astonishing number of new cocktails last year, and the bartenders around stood up one after another, driving the entire venue to stand up.

When Louise took the stage and received the emerald 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 were slightly wet, she stood in front of the microphone, and said, "Thank you to my assistant Martin, without him I would not be where I am today. In addition, I brought two new cocktail recipes: Godmother And the rain and the clouds. There are also three improved recipes of classic cocktails, and everyone is welcome to taste them at the reception later.”

The participants were either bartenders or senior alcoholics. Hearing this, they applauded even more enthusiastically.

Louise came down from the stage, and countless bartenders greeted her along the way.

In recent years, there are very few cocktails that are new and can be widely spread, and can be called classics. Louise created a variety of cocktails last year.

When Louise came back, the emerald trophy was handed to Martin: "Half of yours."

Martin said deliberately: "It's an honor, it's half of me."

Louise was so excited at this moment, she hugged Martin and gave him a long and passionate kiss.

Seeing Louise's flames rising, Martin gave her a wet kiss.

After a long time, the two separated.

Louise said, "I suddenly had an idea?"

When Martin saw her pouting her ass, she knew which position she wanted to use: "You don't want to make a biopic of yourself, do you?"

Louise was so shameless, she nodded again and again: "Yes! The only female bartending master, in a few years, must be the bartending queen, that is a world-class legend, make an autobiography of me, actress Can win an Oscar queen!"

Martin asked: "I'm playing the role."

"No, I can't have you, absolutely can't have you." Louise realized a key problem: "I am the queen of bartending, not the queen of fraud."

When the reception started in the evening, Louise's excitement subsided, 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 up the bar.

A large number of people came to say hello to Louise, and Martin accompanied her to socialize, looking for targets based on the names of the people and the information they read last night.

Unexpectedly, a target person came over to say hello.

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

"Ms. Mel, Mr. Davis, this is Mr. Wu Maoting from Myanmar, and this is his daughter, Miss U Thant." The chairman said specifically: "Mr. Wu is a jeweler. Emerald, all sponsored by Mr. Wu."

Louise and Martin shook hands with Wu Maoting very politely, and then greeted Wu Dan.

Both of them speak relatively fluent English.

The two sides chatted for a few cocktails, and Wu's father and daughter each got a glass of the cocktail Louise had just made by themselves, and went to other places.

Martin glanced at Wu Maoting again.

Taking advantage of no one coming, Louise asked, "Does he have a problem?"

This is one of the people Martin focused on last night: "I read his profile last night. To be precise, he is an emerald mine owner."

"A suitable potential investor?" was all Louise could think of, because she didn't know Burma well.

Martin introduced: "Many wars in Myanmar are fought over the emerald mines. The mine owners are actually small warlords, or agents supported by warlords. They rise this year and may collapse next year. Even if they can keep their family business for a long time , and also like to arrange a more secure path for future generations."

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

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

Emerald seems to be the most recognized item in East and Southeast Asia, and Hong Kong City is an important consumer market.

Louise said, "You have a heart."

Martin said: "Although my brain is not working well, a few people related to the film and television industry deliberately read more."

Louise nodded: "Yes, you are very hardworking."

Martin told the truth: "If I had a background like yours, I wouldn't start a business if I were killed.

Seeing that there was no one around Wu Maoting, he said, "I'll try it out, 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 eventually be P.

Martin took a glass of wine, walked around, and quietly came to Wu Maoting's side, and the two happened to be walking around to meet each other.

"Hi, Mr. Wu." Martin said with a smile, "That emerald trophy is very unique. This kind of oriental green jewelry gives people a sense of noble beauty."

He asked: "I heard that there is also a top-level imperial green jadeite?"

Wu Maoting replied: "Rather rare, quite precious."

Martin asked: "Do you have any in Mr. Wu's hand? Louise will attend a premiere red carpet soon, and I'm going to give a special gift. An imperial green heart-shaped pendant would be nice."

"I don't have any in stock." Wu Maoting heard what Martin was interested in in Martin's words: "Premiere? Movie premiere?"

Martin waited until he said something like this: "Louis and I are not just bartenders, she is the boss of Hollywood Pacific Pictures, and I am a Hollywood movie star. I don't know if you have seen "House of Wax Museum", I am It’s the leading man, and soon I’ll have a film that Louise invested tens of millions of dollars in.”

As a Hollywood star, Wu Maoting didn't care much, but the boss of the Hollywood film company, he took a high look: "I didn't expect Ms. Mel to be so outstanding."

Martin knew that Louise was the key: "Hollywood's youngest female multimillionaire, one of the most successful female producers, attracting investment from all over the world to make films, outstanding businessmen and artists."

Thinking that Wu Maoting has only one daughter, he added: "He is also an outstanding alumnus of the University of Southern California Film School."

After the big ship, Hollywood movies are rampant all over the world. Wu Maoting is quite curious about Hollywood: "Absorb investment from all over the world?"

Martin said with a smile: "Hollywood is an open film and television production center that absorbs talents, technologies and funds from all over the world to shoot wonderful films one after another, promote the development of film art, and give back to all investors. There are a lot of filmmakers working in Hollywood."

Wu Maoting said, "Jack Chen."

Martin said: "Kung Fu is impressive." He sighed: "I have seen many Hong Kong Kung Fu movies, Shaw Brothers in the early years, Huang Feihong later, Jack Chen's Police Story series, and John Wu's action The shootouts and all that, it's a classic."

Being able to say this, Wu Maoting looked at Martin with admiration: "It is indeed a classic. My daughter and I are both movie lovers. It is a pity that the movie market in Hong Kong has shrunk, and there have been few good films in recent years."

Martin continued: "Many filmmakers in Hong Kong City have gone to Hollywood to develop, and most of them have developed well. Compared with Jack Chen and Jeter Lee, I can only be regarded as a nobody. There is also John Wu, whom Tom Cruise named to direct him. In Mission: Impossible 2, he was also asked to personally design the shootout scene, and Mr. Yuan Heping's action guidance team is the key to the success of the Matrix series."

He didn't mention those who failed, as if Hong Kong City could succeed in Hollywood.

Wu Maoting has invested in Hong Kong City Film Company and is interested in Hollywood. He asked, "Ms. Mel is here not only to attend the bartender conference?"

"By the way, there are too many movies produced in Hollywood in a year, and most of them need to be solved by platters." Martin explained the concept of platters: "Louis is going to invest in a big project this time. I don't know if Mr. Wu has heard of it. Are Chong Man Keung and Mak Siu Fai Hong Kong filmmakers?"

Wu Maoting nodded: "I know them."

Martin thought it was just right: "The project is related to them. Warner Bros. bought the adaptation rights of the Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs" and is planning 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 stars Leonardo."

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

"Yes, that's them!" Martin said the key: "Louis's Pacific Pictures is ready to participate in the investment, and has already contacted and negotiated with Warner Bros. The total investment of the film may be around 100 million US dollars, so Louise and I will Come out and prepare to find like-minded investors."

Wu Maoting immediately understood why the other party came to 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.

While Martin was looking for other people, Wu Maoting left the reception, called his attendants, took out his mobile phone and started making calls.

He knew Zhuang Mai and Zhuang Mai, but he was not familiar with them, but someone from the film company involved in the investment could contact them.

In the morning of the next day, Wu Maoting received detailed news, as well as relevant information faxed from Los Angeles.

Send it at the third watch and ask for a monthly ticket.
