The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2404

[2367 Special Banquet]

The latest website: The scandal of Renly and Rooney, like a tropical storm, swept across the Côte d’Azur in a mighty manner. In just a few hours, the entire Cannes was known to everyone, and even it was in full swing. The screening of the films exhibited in the main competition unit was robbed of the limelight.

But such a sensational and explosive rumor came to an abrupt end, with Rooney staying in the hotel and Renly going to the villa, and it came to an understatement without leaving too many follow-up reverie. Unable to adapt, there was nowhere to put his face in astonishment.

So…what the hell is going on here?

Not to mention reporters and audiences, even Roman Abramovich’s first sentence when they met was, “Where’s your girlfriend?”

Renly didn’t mind, and replied with a smile, “It’s definitely her girlfriend. , instead of a male partner?”

The spirit of self-joking made Roman laughed heartily, and apologized repeatedly, “Sorry, the whole Cannes is discussing this matter, I don’t want to be too out of place, I look forward to being able to Use first-hand information to scare other people, and I hope I don’t cross the line.”

“Friends can ask, strangers are forbidden, this is my consistent principle.” In just a few words, Renly successfully drew closer. distance between each other.

Roman took a half step and made an invitation gesture with a smile on his face, “Welcome, please allow me to shoulder the responsibility of the master and introduce you.”

Roman also arrived in Cannes and came to participate in the film festival in person; For the film itself, Roman’s Film Festival is more of a celebrity socializing.

Tonight, Roman hosted a party on a private yacht. The guests not only included practitioners in the film industry, but also top people from all walks of life. The colorful guest composition made the whole party full of extraordinary The unique atmosphere of the harbour rises and falls in the night of the port.

If it was just an ordinary invitation, Renly would have politely declined; but this was Roman’s party, and Renly nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Originally thought that Roman was hoping that his friends would be able to see Renly, the previous aristocratic parties had more or less a similar meaning; but when Renly actually arrived on the yacht, he unexpectedly discovered that it should be reversed. Roman wants to introduce his friend to Renly.

For example, a former aristocrat from the south of France is now running a private art gallery in Florence, exhibiting obscure but brilliant works throughout the year.

The other party’s artistic attainments are much deeper than Renly’s, and Renly thinks Edith should be very fond of making such friends.

Another example is a tycoon from Sicily. His hobby is to collect different types of private yachts. The glory is a thing of the past.”

For example, three generations of Chinese from the United States are now living in London. This top interior decorator is studying pottery and porcelain from different cultures, trying to integrate into his interior decoration concept in a way of returning to nature. He had just returned from Bhutan in a dusty way.

These guests, they have their own net worth background, but also have their own professional expertise, each of them enjoys a good reputation in their own field.

Although their media exposure cannot be compared to Renly’s, their brilliance is fascinated.

Honestly, Renly loves making new friends like this, and outside of movies and books, he’s also able to open his eyes to a different perspective on the world.

In the impression of the general public, Roman’s net worth ranks among the top in the world, but his cultural heritage is short-circuited. Even after living in London for many years, he still has not been able to get rid of the mark of “new rich”; In the social circle, it can be found that the Russian rich man is completing the promotion in his own way.

Perhaps Roman’s background, vision and concept are destined to be unable to match the hereditary aristocracy, and he can still firmly occupy a place in the new world.

Of course, the kind of “bandit” in Roman’s bones can still be felt inadvertently, just like tonight’s party, from the scale to the form, is amazing, but… it’s too much, that kind of a little too much force The gesture still inadvertently revealed his true thoughts.

Roman didn’t mind this, but was able to open his heart to discuss it head-on, “So, what do you think? I once held a similar party in London, but those eyes, you know… your eyes, always suggest It’s like I’ve done something wrong.”

Renly chuckled, “I’m trying too hard.”

He completed the summary in the simplest and most effective way, Roman nodded suddenly, then shook his head, “You old nobles are really difficult to serve. When you can’t get the door, you think those outsiders are rude; after you really find the pattern, And you dislike the rudeness of the nouveau riche.”

Renly’s eyes were full of smiles, “Don’t worry, even for the hereditary nobles, they are the same. Sometimes we only have etiquette and dignity, and the pockets are dry and the duck’s mouth will die. ; Sometimes I despise us for keeping up with the times, and abandoning the old glory is full of copper stench.”

“Really? I don’t know.” Roman’s eyes were full of curiosity.

Renly pursed his lips, “You should know that the so-called nobles are essentially class, barons, viscounts, earls, etc. What they rely on and expect is the superiority brought by class, whether it is heritage or wealth, in fact, They are all affiliated halos. How could they abandon their essence?”

Roman thought for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the doll’s face was full of curious inquiry, “No wonder those old guys don’t Like you.”

“Cheers.” This was Renly’s response, seemingly celebrating “his unpopularity.”

Roman’s smile overflowed from the inside out, “Cheers.”

Then Roman took the initiative to introduce another special friend for Renly, so that Renly’s eyes showed surprise, and his eyes kept on Roman and that A friend moved back and forth, and finally raised his eyebrows slightly, “Wait, may I ask, is this pre-arranged?”

“It’s rare. We were able to successfully ambush Renly and see Renly The panicked expression also shows that our strategy has succeeded.” Thierry Fumau smiled and jokingly, cast his eyes at Roman, and seemed very satisfied with the effect they produced.

Thierry Fumau, chairman of the selection committee of the Cannes Film Festival, is currently the most well-known image spokesperson in Cannes.

Renly and Thierry naturally knew each other. Although they could not be regarded as close friends, they could also be said to be ordinary friends; it was a little surprising that Thierry and Roman were also friends, and… they had a good relationship—otherwise, Roman There is no need to introduce so solemnly at all, because Renly and Thierry have already known each other, and behind the “referral” action, there is obviously more that Renly does not know.

Roman seemed to be able to understand Renly’s confusion and speculation, and without waiting for Renly to ask, he took the initiative to say, “The film industry is a circle with thresholds, and it’s not that easy for a layman to explore the inside story. , there are not many people who can truly be regarded as friends.”

Then, Roman raised his glass and gestured towards Renly, as if apologetically, and seemed to imply, “I also look forward to the sparks you can collide with.”

Sparks?

Does that also mean that Thierry’s presence isn’t just for parties?

“And burn the private yacht?” Thierry made a not-so-funny joke.

Roman replied solemnly, “Don’t worry, we have an escape ship ready, and there will be no Titanic tragedy.” The

cold joke became funny, and Renly and Thierry both showed a smile.

Then, someone next to him called Romain-as the master, he had to come forward to entertain; but he couldn’t tell whether this was the real situation or it had been arranged in advance, but no matter what, Roman turned around and left, leaving only Thierry and Renly Standing by the side of the boat, the gentle and warm sea breeze blows.

“Welcome to Cannes again.” Thierry took the initiative to say, “I just arrived here less than 12 hours ago, and two waves have already been created. I really can’t imagine if you hadn’t been invited to come to Cannes. , what are we missing.”

“Two waves?” Renly asked curiously.

Thierry smiled honestly, “It is rumored that Mr. Roman Abramovich came to Cannes from Monte Carlo because he made a special trip to support you.”

“Oh, no wonder I always feel a little back pain.” Renly said lightly—that is, an arrow was shot in the back, and those false rumors were slandering Renly.

“Haha.” Thierry laughed cheerfully, “But who can blame him? Now the name ‘Renly-Hall’ is not only in the United States, but also in Europe, It’s also very influential.”

“First in Berlin, then Venice, and London, we’ve been waiting for your presence, but we haven’t been able to get any news. Giles even began to wonder if we were inadvertently waiting. Offended you, and then there was a lot of speculation here in Europe; but honestly, we still don’t know what happened.”

There was no foreshadowing and no brewing, and in the process of flattening, Thierry had no warning but One bomb after another is thrown seamlessly – Gilles Jacob, the current president of the Cannes Film Festival.

It turned out that this was the reason why Thierry found Renly through Roman Reigns—in other words, Roman made a special trip to find Thierry, took the initiative to complete the matchmaking for Renly, and went around in circles. It was because of Sisyphus. industry?

To be more precise, it should be the Don Quixote Channel.

Renly laughed dumbly, “Mr. Fumau, I think there may be a little bit of misunderstanding between us. How do you know that I didn’t dare to come in person because of my detached status in Cannes?”
