Chapter 889: Rich People Don’t Drink 82 Lafite
Sunday.

Xiangyang, who was preparing to go to JCE's house to watch the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, was not in a hurry to leave early.

You always have to prepare gifts for visiting someone.

The biggest benefit my wife has gained since getting the endorsement is that she can wear dazzling jewelry on the red carpet.

Then at home.
"Xiang, how about taking these two bottles of red wine?" Macron moved two boxes of red wine from Cheetah Winery from the warehouse in Xiangyang's home.

They each took a bottle from it.

Xiangyang said that he could take all the rest since he still had a lot at home.

"Okay, take whatever you want." Xiangyang shrugged. He didn't have any feelings for red wine and actually hoped that Cheetah Winery could send some beer.

"Then I'll bring a few more bottles. Maybe little John's family will be here today." Macron said with a smile.

"Don't bother. JCE's collection is much better than these wines."

"Haha, I almost forgot." Macron laughed out loud when talking about JCE's collection of red wine.

Although the 82 Lafite is good, last year's red wine from Château Pontet-Canet is not bad either.

In addition, JCE also likes to collect very niche wines such as garage wine and cult wine.

Although the prices of these two wines are much different from those of the 82 Lafite, from the perspective of wine tasting, it is more difficult to drink the good vintages of these two wines than to drink the 82 Lafite.

In fact, few people know that the reason why the 82 Lafite is so famous is entirely because the Burgundy region suffered from rain and frost that year, which caused the grapes to grow poorly.

Moreover, when the 82 red wine was first released, it did not sell well.

The reason why it was often mentioned later was because Champagne was able to shine in 1982.

After putting the red wine in the car at the door, the two prepared to set off.

Since they were heading to the airport right after watching the Golden Globe Awards, their luggage and a cat cage were placed in the trunk of the MPV.

When it comes to doting on Dongdong, Xiangyang really dotes on it.

I actually brought it with me on this trip to Damascus.

"Mr. Xiang, are we leaving now?" asked the driver who was responsible for picking up Xiang Yang.

"Of course, but wait a minute." Xiangyang said, handing the bag with two bottles of red wine to the driver and said, "This is a gift for you. Thank you for your hard work today."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiang."

"Let's go in and eat together later, don't be nervous." Xiangyang said to the driver with a smile before stepping into the car.

"I see you're really not nervous at all." Macron followed and sat down and fastened his seat belt.

What he meant was that Liu Qianqian's attendance at the award ceremony today did not cause Xiangyang to be nervous.

"What's the point of me being nervous?" Xiangyang smiled.

He is not an actor or a director, and the Golden Globe Awards do not have any awards such as Best Art Direction or Best Costume Design.

If he wasn't the investor of the movie, this award ceremony that attracted much attention from the entertainment industry would have nothing to do with him.

At most, he would take a look at what styles of haute couture the major brands have prepared for the stars, and see if there are any new models that could surprise him.

Moreover.
Liu Qianqian just went there to join in the fun.

It’s hard to say whether she is nervous or not.

In order not to add pressure to his wife, Xiangyang deliberately kept his mobile phone quietly in his trouser pocket and remained silent.

"Why are you suddenly so interested in the award ceremony?" Xiang Yang asked curiously.

Macron corrected: "It's not sudden, I've always been interested."

"I almost forgot that you are an economics major." Xiang Yang's words were an invisible critical blow to Macron.

How could we just have a nice chat but end up steer the conversation to the point of putting the blame on him for the economic recovery not meeting expectations?

Growth of 1.5%, expected 1.6%.

Is it necessary to hold on to it?
To be honest, isn't this 0.1 gap caused by a bunch of people who had nothing to do and took to the streets at the end of October?
The tourism enthusiasm created by "China Week" in Paris was enough to drive the fourth quarter to maintain a good growth trend.

"Let's talk about something lighter, Xiang." Macron said with a wry smile, "I've heard many people in the cultural field say that this may be the most accurate indicator of the Oscars in recent years. Congratulations to you."

"Don't take what the media says seriously." Xiang Yang disagreed.

Although the level of winners of the Golden Globe Awards and the Oscars in recent years is extremely similar, the situation where the four key awards of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress were exactly the same can be traced back to "The Lord of the Rings 8" 3 years ago.

Later on.

The Golden Globe Awards attempted to transform itself towards artistic individuality, awarding the Best Feature Film for three consecutive years to such unpopular masterpieces as "Babel," "Atonement," and "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," and it seems to be developing towards the trend of the three major European film festivals.

But American movie fans and media don't admit it.

People just play for their own fun.

Let a bunch of Hollywood stars gather together for a big party, and the money earned from the commercials inserted during the broadcast will be enough to feed and comfort themselves.

What art to play.

In order to save the ratings, the Golden Globe Awards went back to their job.

"But it seems that there is indeed a big gap in the awards." Xiangyang thought about the information reported to him by Little John, and had to admit that Macron's hearsay was correct.

Simply put, as the list of Golden Globe winners was discovered one by one by the media this morning.

This year's Oscars stage is destined to slap many movie fans in the face.

"Inception" earned $8.39 million at the global box office and was highly praised by movie fans, but it was miserably beaten when it came to awards.

Especially with the combined efforts of "The Social Network", which Hermès Film Investment Company focused on public relations, and Weinstein's "The King's Speech", there is nothing left.

This result is really sad.

"I don't know if Marion Cotillard will complain when I have the chance to meet her again next time." Xiang Yang suddenly thought of the French Rose who made a huge contribution to the success of "Midnight in Paris".

Hearing this familiar name, Macron's eyes lit up, "I really like her works in the past two years."

"Really? Which one do you like?"

"Of course it's Midnight in Paris." Macron smiled, "After all, it's a French film."

He said this as if it was natural, and Xiangyang couldn't help but laugh after hearing it.

Not long after, the car arrived at JCE's house.

There was no need to even make a phone call. Little John's brother, on behalf of the whole family, had already been waiting outside the garden gate to welcome Xiangyang and Macron.

When you meet acquaintances, it’s natural to start chatting.

After saying hello, Xiangyang and Macron simply got out of the car, carrying the red wine and walked towards the villa.

The live broadcast of the Golden Globe Awards has not started yet, but the results are basically out.

Little John's brother and Xiangyang verified the list of winners released by the media, and the smiles on their faces became a little more intense.

Ok.

Although little John is annoying to the whole family, he is still the youngest son in the family.

"Xiang, will he go on stage to receive the award today?"

Realizing something, before entering the house, Little John's brother suddenly asked Xiangyang.

"I don't know about that." Xiangyang shrugged.

should
Probably not.

If there is no award for producer, why would he go up there?

After hearing the explanation, little John's brother breathed a sigh of relief. This was really fortunate news.

"Xiang, welcome."

JCE and little John's mother had also made preparations for the welcome early on, and they greeted Xiangyang as soon as the door opened.

Then it was Macron. "Xiang, I made your favorite dish today, you should eat more when the time comes." Little John's mother was very enthusiastic, and she wanted to take Xiangyang to the kitchen to have a full meal first.

"Didn't I hear that you brought the cat?"

"Auntie, I dare not let it wander around your house." Xiangyang waved his hands. He was not worried that JCE's antique furniture would be damaged and he could not afford the compensation, but that there were too many bottles and jars in the house.

Cats are very sensitive to perfumes and the like, and it is not good for them to smell too much.

"It's okay." Misunderstanding Xiangyang's meaning, little John's mother insisted that Xiangyang bring Dongdong in.

The entire award ceremony, including the preliminary coverage, takes about three or four hours. It must be so painful for it to stay in the car.

"That's fine."

After her repeated persuasion, Xiangyang had no choice but to agree with a wry smile.

When he returned to the house carrying Dongdong, there was already an opened bottle of red wine on the table in the living room.

Macron and John Jr.'s older brother and sister were chatting while holding cups.

Are you drinking it now?
You didn't even wait for me?

Xiangyang was surprised.

"Xiang, come and taste it. This is the red wine that my father opened personally. He..."

Before little John's brother finished speaking, JCE, who was holding the cork to his nose and sniffing the fruity aroma, coughed a few times.

"Xiang, try it."

"Okay." After handing the chubby thing to little John's mother, Xiangyang walked up to the few people with a smile, took the bottle from Macron and took a look at it.

My goodness, no wonder they are so impatient.

1992 Cabernet Sauvignon from Screaming Eagle Winery.

The 82 Lafite is just a little brother in front of this bottle of red wine.

"See, I told you that coming here today would definitely not disappoint you." Putting down the bottle, Xiangyang took the wine glass from Macron and habitually put it to his nose and sniffed it.

The aroma is fruity, a bit cherry, and a bit herbal.

This wine would be good for stewing meat.

"Let's celebrate together." Seeing that his child and the two young men in front of him were reluctant to move, JCE suggested with a smile.

It hurts, but today is a good day.

He prepared more than just this one bottle of good red wine. There were also two bottles of Pinot Noir from Château Leroy and a bottle of 1990 Conti on the table.

Originally he wanted the children to drink Conti first.

As a result, his eldest son took the bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, which is known as the "King of Winery Worship".
"Uncle JCE, I'm curious, you treated us to this kind of wine at the Golden Globe Awards, what about the Oscars?"

Xiangyang took a sip and was amazed that this wine could be sold at a high price of 50 US dollars at the auction. He asked curiously.

"I" JCE looked at Xiangyang and said slowly: "I still have one box."

Wine by the box.

Six bottles per case.

This cult wine, which is produced in very limited quantities, comes in wheeled boxes, which shows that JCE really likes collecting red wine, and that he is actually quite proud of his youngest son.

Xiangyang clicked his tongue, little John was really stupid.

Why not steal the wine and sell it?

"Don't take pictures. If Anna finds out, she'll probably be mad at me." JCE warned Xiangyang.

This wine is so rare that he didn’t even give it away when little JoJo was born.

If Xiangyang hadn't come today, he wouldn't have been willing to leave either.

But when he saw Xiangyang didn't praise the taste of the wine after tasting it, he couldn't help but frown.

Although he knew Xiangyang didn't like drinking red wine.

But if you still don't like this wine.
Unexpectedly, Xiangyang's love was straightforward and direct. While Macron and Little John's brothers and sisters were chatting, he pulled JCE and whispered:
"Uncle JCE, why don't you give me two bottles?"

"???"

"Little John has become very popular in the United States this time. If there is a party to be held at our house, I must prepare a few bottles of good wine at home." Xiang Yang said:
"Uncle JCE, Cheetah Winery is not high-end."

"." JCE frowned and tilted his head to think. What he said was indeed true.

Compared with famous wines, the red wine from Cheetah Winery is indeed a bit inferior.

Ok.

With Xiangyang's current status, he really needs to prepare some good red wine at home in case of emergency.

These two bottles were the gifts I gave him at that time.

"Let me make it clear first, just these two bottles, don't worry about the others." Gritting his teeth, JCE decided to reward Xiangyang.

After all, he not only increased his own small treasury by many times.

At the same time, it also led little John onto the right path.

Thinking of this, he felt that he was a bit stingy.

It’s not that he is stingy, but red wine is very troublesome to preserve, and he is afraid that if he gives too much, it will be wasted by Xiangyang.

Just when he was thinking about spending some money to buy Xiangyang a wine cabinet to store red wine, the Golden Globe Awards ceremony appeared on the TV screen.

Ok.

And it’s not just the beginning.

It looks like several crews have already warmed up the red carpet.

"I'll arrange it and send it to you when the time comes." JCE, whose attention was drawn to the red carpet, said to Xiangyang with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

Xiangyang also turned his eyes to the TV.

Two bottles, one bottle for Liu Xixi to taste.

One bottle is used to stew meat to nourish the body.

Just right.

"Xiang, I heard from Christian Vallo that you guys are going to hold a film festival in Beijing in a few months?"

Little John's brother also looked at the TV, then came over with the wine dispenser.

"Well, yes." Xiangyang raised his face.

The Capital Film Festival is not a fake award as others say, and the purpose of holding this award is not to add another A-class film award in the country.

Instead, it aims to build channels for domestic and international film resources.

“If you are interested, you can take some time to bring your family to attend. Maybe there will be a movie you like being shown at the festival.”

Xiangyang invited with a smile.

"Really?" Little John's brother was surprised. He subconsciously looked at the Golden Globe Award and then at Xiangyang.

He also thought that this film festival awarded films like the Golden Globe Awards.

"Of course, I believe this film festival will not disappoint you." Xiang Yang drank the red wine in the glass and added:

"The premise is that you don't chase stars."

As soon as he finished speaking, the host's introduction of the next crew came from the TV.

Hear the name "Black Swan".

Xiangyang turned his head away in a flash.
