Chapter 547: Meeting Gu Yuege by chance, about dignity
Upon hearing this, Yang Mi happily took Zhang Xiao's arm and said, "Hubby, I'm hungry."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "I made a reservation at the best Italian and Western restaurant in Cannes. Let's go and try it now?"
"Okay!" Yang Mi happily nestled on Zhang Xiao's shoulder.
Cannes is a small seaside town. After walking for almost twenty minutes, the two of them arrived at their destination.
Yang Mi picked it up and looked at it, ordering a lot of things.
soon.
Steak, foie gras, cheese, caviar, rainstorm, salad and other delicacies filled the entire table.
The waiter took out a bottle of Opry Winery's Collection. After pouring it for the two of them, Yang Mi raised it and said, "Husband, I wish your "Forrest Gump" can win the Palmetto Award."
Zhang Xiao held the wine glass and smiled: "I also wish you find a satisfying movie."
The two clinked glasses and looked at each other with a smile.
Zhang Xiao cut the steak for Yang Mi and said, "Let's try their signature snowflake steak."
Yang Mi took a bite, frowned slightly and said, "Hubby, compared to the steak you cook, it's far behind."
Zhang Xiao smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your compliment."
While the two were eating, a burst of noise suddenly sounded not far away.
"Why should we give up the seat we reserved to others?"
Zhang Xiao and Yang Mi heard the voice and went out, only to see that the person speaking was a Chinese woman. Moreover, they knew each other. It was Ye Yanran, who is quite popular in the entertainment industry recently.
Next to her are Gu Yuege, Liao Bufan, and Ren Jiamei.
Yang Mi said softly: "This is the crew of "The Gathering at Southern Station". They also participated in the Cannes International Film Festival. I heard that they were very popular."
Zhang Xiao had also heard of "The Gathering at Southern Station" when he was on Earth. In addition to its competition for the Cannes Award, another reason is because the protagonist of this movie is Gu Yuege.
"Madam, I'm sorry, we can provide you with compensation." The waiter in the restaurant said with an embarrassed look.
Ren Jiamei said: "We don't need compensation, we just want to eat."
Gu Yuege also said: "I want to know what's going on. The place we reserved is obviously empty now, so why can't we have a meal?"
At this time, a gorgeously dressed, mature and beautiful woman walked in and said with a proud face: "Because I also booked this seat."
Zhang Xiao looked familiar, so he asked Yang Mi next to him: "Who is this person?"
Yang Mi explained: "The judge of this year's Cannes International Film Festival, Andrina, has won the Best Actress at Cannes twice and the Best Actress at the Oscars once."
"In movies, most of the roles she plays are dignified and elegant. I didn't expect that she would be so arrogant in reality."
After saying that, Yang Mi took out her mobile phone from her bag and started taking pictures.
Zhang Xiao naturally wouldn't stop it.
Gu Yuege obviously recognized the woman's identity. He frowned and said, "Ms. Andrina, when did you book this place?"
Andrina said proudly: "Half an hour ago."
Gu Yuege said: "I'm sorry, we made the reservation this morning."
Andrina said: "So what? I am the highest-level member of this restaurant. Every time I come to Cannes, I will sit in that seat to eat. It has been twelve years now."
Gu Yuege asked in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "So?"
Andrina said: "So you should find another restaurant and don't cause trouble for me."
At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap and a smug face appeared in front of everyone, and the man asked: "Andrina, what's going on?"
"Devin, they took my spot."
Hearing this, Liao Bufan's expression changed and he said softly: "He is James Devin. He has produced many movies and is also a judge on the Cannes jury this time."
Hearing this, Gu Yuege, Ren Jiamei, and Ye Yanran were all shocked at the same time.
Offending two judges at once is definitely not a good thing for them.
Gu Yuege said solemnly: "We came to Cannes to represent Chinese films. We can lose awards and other awards, but we cannot lose our integrity."
The other three people looked at each other and nodded.
At this time, James Devin looked at the four of them, his heart moved, and he said: "You are the actors in "The Party at Southern Station", right?"
"That's right!" Gu Yuege said: "Mr. Dai Wen, we booked this position first. We hope..."
Before he finished speaking, James Devin interrupted directly: "I don't want to hear so much. Andrina and I are the judges of this year's Cannes. We have to discuss some important things. As a film participating in this year's exhibition,
From a distance, you shouldn’t be in our way!”
Hearing this, Gu Yuege frowned and said, "Are you threatening us with your status as a judge?"
James Devin shrugged and said, "How you understand that is your business."
When Ye Yanran heard this, she immediately became angry. She directly pulled Ren Jiamei to sit down and said, "We reserved this in advance. No one can take it away."
Gu Yuege and Liao Bufan looked at each other and sat over.
Seeing the behavior of the four people, James Devin and Andrina couldn't help but feel very angry.
Andrina even said coldly: "Do you know the price of doing this?"
Gu Yuege and others did not speak.
Andrina continued: "I will keep you out of the competition."
Ye Yanran said: "You are just two of the judges, and you cannot influence the decision of the entire organizing committee."
James Devin sneered: "It's so naive. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you want to gain something in Cannes, you'd better leave immediately, otherwise, I will let you get nothing."
Ye Yanran said: "That's up to you. Anyway, we are sure to have this meal today."
As the saying goes, tolerance means greatness, and lack of desire means strength.
The only way James Devin and Andrina could threaten Gu Yuege and the others was through their rating status. Now Gu Yuege and the others have made it clear that they don't care about their threats.
This made James and Devin feel helpless, and at the same time there was a hint of shame in their hearts.
If you can't handle this, how will others see you in the future?
So Andrina said angrily: "Cross, drive them out."
Cross is the person in charge of the restaurant. Hearing Andrina's words, he said with an embarrassed look: "Ms. Andrina, I'm sorry, we really have no reason to expel the guests."
"Okay, you two, wait a moment and I'll talk to them."
"No need to talk!" Before Cross walked in, Gu Yuege said directly: "This is no longer a matter of unknown food, but a matter of dignity. No matter what, we will never give in."
James Devin was furious and said: "Are you provoking our jury?"
