Chapter 1244 The film director who eats rice

In Cannes, the famous Costa à lagoon is across the road in front of the white building. The sea breeze is blowing, and the sea water is rolling white foam and never tires down the beach.

Tan Xiaotian and his family sat under the palm tree to enjoy family happiness.

The table was filled with steaming hot pot. Tan Xiaotian and Tan Yuejin were making a cup of tea. Tan Mingyan, Song Chunhua and Chu Liwan took turns to hold the king.

Although the king was small, he seemed to be attracted by the fragrance of hot pot. He opened his hands and tried hard to reach there.

Tan Mingyan's heart was about to be melted by her son's movement. She smiled and put the king's little hand on her face, "Son, don't worry, you will be able to eat when you grow up."

Tan Yuejin had a sip of wine and meat, and he had a lot of fun.

"Hey, it's like a dream. If it were a few years ago, I would never have dreamed of eating hot pot by the sea in France."

He was deeply moved.

Song Chunhua widened his eyes and whispered to Chu Liwan: "In-law, look at an old foreign man over there looking at us."

Chu Liwan looked up and saw an old white man with a small white curly hair on his head. He was about sixty years old and staring at this side with his saliva almost flowing out.

Chu Liwan couldn't help laughing and laughed out loud, "In-law, that person probably is greedy for us to see how we eat."

Tan Xiaotian also noticed the old man. Out of politeness, he shouted hello to the old man, which is one of the only French words he knows.

But he knew that this sentence caused trouble. The old white man also said hello, and then ran into the building next door. In a short while, he ran out again, holding a piece of red wine in his hand, and ran to Tan Xiaotian's building.

"Hello, my dear friends, my name is Jean Jacques. I am a film director and I live next door."

The old man was elegant, but unfortunately his eyes staring at the hot pot betrayed his true thoughts.

The old man spoke French, and only Chu Liwan and Tan Mingyan could understand it among the people present, but Tan Mingyan was taking care of the children, so Chu Liwan translated the old man's words to everyone.

In fact, anyone can see that Jacques was attracted by hot pot.

Tan Yuejin was slightly drunk and stood up and waved to Jacques with a smile, "Sir, do you like to eat hot pot?"

If you like, don’t be polite. Sit down and eat together. There are brothers in the world, haha!”

Chu Liwan smiled and translated this sentence to Jacques. Jacques was ecstatic and immediately handed the red wine in his hand to Tan Yuejin and spoke a long and fast French. Although Tan Xiaotian couldn't understand it, he could guess that the old man was thanking his father for his generosity.

He glanced at the wine bottle, and it turned out to be Romani Conte.

France has two major wine producing areas, one is the world-famous Bordeaux producing area, and the other is Burgundy. Even the owner of the top Bordeaux wine garden will express high respect when talking about the Romani Conte wine garden in the Burgundy producing area.

Romani Conti is a top red wine brand that is as famous as the five major wineries in Bordeaux, and is quite expensive.

Jacques' actions were so generous that Tan Xiaotian's attention was attracted.

It seems that this film director is very rich and very greedy.

However, Cannes has always been a residential area for wealthy people, which is not surprising.

Tan Xiaotian stood up and asked Jacques to sit down, and asked the nanny to get a set of clean tableware.

Some outsiders came, and Tan Mingyan and two mothers went back to the house to rest with the king.

There were only three men left by the table.

Tan Yuejin got up, poured Jacques a glass of Wuliangye, and asked in Chinese: "Brother, can you drink Chinese wine?"

He was afraid that the foreigners would not understand, so he said it very slowly.

Fortunately, the action of pouring wine was the same all over the world. Jacques immediately understood it, picked up the cup and took a sip, then shouted loudly, and gave a thumbs up.

Then he skillfully picked up the chopsticks, began to pick up the meat from the hot pot piece by piece, dipped it in sesame sauce and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Judging from his attitude, it is definitely not the first time he has eaten hot pot.

Because many Westerners do not agree with hot pot, they dislike everyone who eats food in the same place is unhygienic.

Jacques was obviously not on this list. He ate a few bites of meat and drank a big sip of wine. Not long after, he finished a glass of Wuliangye, and Tan Yuejin poured him another glass.

Tan Xiaotian has another impression of him, an alcoholic.

A rich and greedy alcoholic.

"Jacques, can you speak English?"

"Yes, but this is France, and French is the most noble and oldest language in the world. I don't want to speak the English language in my own country."

Jacques refused Tan Xiaotian's request in a righteous manner.

But after a few minutes, he changed his attitude.

Because the meat on the table was gone, he tried to tell the Chinese father and son opposite him in French, but no one could understand what he said.

For the sake of the appetite, Jacques spoke English wisely, "Generous neighbor, this meat is gone, I still want to eat it because it is so delicious."

Tan Xiaotian understood this time, and he smiled and asked the nanny to serve two more plates of meat.

Jacques started eating again.

Tan Yuejin was frightened by his eating habits and regretted his invitation just now.

He whispered to Tan Xiaotian: "This foreign old man is so edible, so he ate two and a half plates of meat himself."

"Dad, you don't have to speak so quietly. He doesn't understand Chinese. Actually, you are not losing money. Do you know how much the bottle of wine he gave you?"

"How much?"

When Tan Yuejin heard his son say this, he knew that he might take advantage.

"It's a small 100,000 yuan! This brand of wine is very expensive, at least a few thousand euros, you can calculate it."

Tan Yuejin immediately became enthusiastic, "Jacques, there is not enough food."

Jacques probably hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time, so he wiped out all the food left on the table, and then sat on the chair with his bulging belly, "Hot pot is the best delicacy in the world, and I'm willing to be a Chinese for this."

Tan Xiaotian picked up his Tianzi cigarette from the table and asked Jacques if he minded him smoking?

Jacques slapped his head and said, "Wait for me," and then he ran back to his house next door again. He took a box of Cuban cigars and handed them to Tan Xiaotian and Tan Yuejin respectively.

Tan Yuejin waved his hand and went into the house with the bottle of Romani Conte.

Tan Xiaotian didn't want to smoke cigars, but Jacques was too enthusiastic, so he ordered one and sat under the palm tree with Jacques to digest and chat.

Through conversation, Jacques learned Tan Xiaotian's surname.

"Talk, you are Chinese, right?

What industry are you in?"

After eating and drinking, Jacques began to care about Tan Xiaotian's profession.

"Speaking of this, I also have something to do with the movies. I have a film company in China. By the way, I also participated in the Cannes Film Festival in 2007."

Jacques widened his eyes, "I didn't expect that we would still be in the same place, talk about what type of movie do you like?"

"I am an investor. Of course I like movies that make money, but I have also invested in many movies with high artistic value."

When the movie was mentioned, Jacques immediately became gentle again, and the two chatted very well.

"Jacques, what kind of movie are you good at making?"

Jacques thought for a while, "The types of movies I made are very diverse. You have to know that men have different ideas at different times. I follow my heart, but I want to say that my favorite thing is still like animal themes, because the world of animals is so pure. I have filmed "The Story of Bears" and "The Brother of Tiger". I don't know if you have seen it. By the way, I also filmed a movie. You are a Chinese. You should know that it tells the story of a rich Chinese businessman and a French girl. It is called "Lovers". The Chinese male actor named Liang is great..." Tan Xiaotian slowly sat up straight.
