Time was like a woman's cleavage, it would always be there. Everyone understood this simple logic, so Xu Yun and Ling Zhiling arrived at the buffet restaurant of Shangri-La on time. As the driver, Wu Yuandong naturally knew his identity. He stayed beside the car and lit a cigarette, leisurely.
After entering the restaurant, Xu Yun looked around every corner but did not see any blonde foreigners. He then looked at the time. Wasn't it already 6: 25 pm?
"Did we overestimate Director Pierce?" Xu Yun did not believe that the foreigner would be so punctual. If he could arrive at 6: 30 pm on time, he would have to hide in the toilet first.
Ling Zhiling smiled. "There are still five minutes left. Furthermore, Director Pierce is also a person of status. He might put on airs."
"A person of status? My impression of a foreign director is James Cameron, who filmed Titanic? Cameron, who filmed Raiders of the Lost Ark? Spielberg, who filmed Star Wars? Lucas, who filmed the Pirates of the Caribbean series, Golebinski, Robert Jackson? Zemeckis and Peter? Jackson is also not bad. But I really have not heard of Pierce. Arenas, although this name sounds like the combination of Truth and Agent 0 in the NBA, he is actually just a small character in an advertisement, right? "
Although what Xu Yun said was true, Ling Zhiling still didn't want him to have a conflict with the director before he even met him. Although Director Pierce hadn't shot a movie before, he was one of the top directors in the advertising industry. Many luxury brand commercials would look for him because his style of shooting was different from ordinary commercials. It was very suitable for these luxury brands.
If not for the change of director in his old company, Victoria's Secret, Pierce would not have been willing to film Wales. Although Wales was a rising star and had the potential to overturn the traditional underwear overlord, Victoria's Secret, its brand and commercial influence were not as good as the old overlord. Even if the boss behind the scenes was Isolda? It would not be so easy for Eccles to become the leader.
"Shall we eat first?" Xu Yun touched his stomach. He was really hungry after playing with water in the afternoon.
Ling Zhiling was in a dilemma. She didn't want Xu Yun to embarrass Director Pierce, nor did she want Xu Yun to be in a bad mood. She could only ask softly, "Prince, why don't we wait a little longer? As for courtesy, let's just treat it as a pleasure to have friends visiting from afar. "
Xu Yun looked at his watch again. "It's already time. Do all directors like to be late? If you're not late, you'll look like you have no status. Ugly people are always up to no good. " Xu Yun knew a hundred times more famous Hollywood directors than Pierce, but none of them were late. The Dragon Fury Team had once participated in an international cooperative rescue operation. The kidnapper was a very famous Jewish big boss. Those directors were respectful in front of him, let alone in front of Xu Yun.
"Then, why don't … you eat first?" Ling Zhiling's face was full of awkwardness. She was really in a difficult position. Although she had to take into account the director's identity and face, she couldn't ignore her prince's face.
"Forget it, let's wait for him." Xu Yun really didn't want to eat. He was just angry at the director's mother. They had clearly agreed to meet tomorrow, but he suddenly changed it to tonight. Now that they were here, the guy was actually late. He simply didn't take them seriously.
After about 20 minutes, a foreigner with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge walked into the restaurant accompanied by a young man from Hua Xia.
Seeing that the two were looking for her, Ling Zhiling immediately stood up, took off her sunglasses, and said in English with a smile, "Hello, are you Mr. Pierce?"
The foreigner was stunned, then looked at the young man next to him and said in fluent American English, "It seems that I don't need you. You can go to the other side and eat something."
The young man next to him was obviously a translator. He immediately thanked him and said that if he needed anything, he could call him immediately. Just as he was about to leave to get something to eat, Pierce called him again and asked him to help him get a steak, some pasta, and coffee.
Xu Yun thought that this guy was really arrogant. Maybe he had been in Hua Xia for too long. Otherwise, even President Obama knew to hold an umbrella when it was raining. How could he, an advertising director, ask others to get food for him when he was eating buffet?
"Mr. Pierce, please sit down." Ling Zhiling's iconic oriental beauty smile really made Pierce feel amazed.
"My God, I didn't expect Miss Zhiling to be so beautiful!" Pierce's performance was quite gentlemanly.
Ling Zhiling was about to introduce Xu Yun when Xu Yun suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to get something to eat."
This was really awkward. Ling Zhiling couldn't stop Xu Yun in front of Pierce, nor could she explain anything to Pierce in front of Xu Yun. Seeing Xu Yun leave to get food, she smiled awkwardly.
Pierce opened his eyes wide and asked with a blank and innocent look, "Who is he? Your assistant? Oh, no, how can such an impolite person be worthy of being the assistant of such a beautiful Miss Zhiling! "
"Thank you for your compliment." Ling Zhiling smiled politely and then explained, "He's not my assistant. He's the male lead of this advertising film, and also our Sky Entertainment Group's …"
"Oh! No! " Pierce's expression was very exaggerated, "How could it be like this? I want actors with basic qualities, and he obviously doesn't meet my requirements!"
Ling Zhiling originally wanted to say the words "successor", but all of it was swallowed back into her throat.
At this time, Pierce's translator brought over the things he wanted. Xu Yun also came back with food. The translator glanced at Xu Yun, and Xu Yun also glanced at him, and then said, "You're a translator?"
"Yes." The translator nodded.
"A translator just needs to do a good job. This kind of work is done by the odd jobs. He doesn't give you a second salary, so why are you spoiling him? Aren't you afraid of spoiling him? " Xu Yun said this in front of Ling Zhiling and Pierce. He was bullying this foreigner because he didn't understand Chinese.
Although Pierce didn't understand Chinese, he could tell from Xu Yun's tone and expression that he wasn't friendly. He immediately questioned his translator, "What did he say?!"
The translator hurriedly tried to explain, but he was a little confused and didn't know how to explain, "No, nothing … he said …"
Ling Zhiling was quick-witted and hurriedly explained in English, "He meant to ask your translator to learn more about fitness from you. Look at how thin he is, he's so weak that he can't even stand a gust of wind."
As she said that, Ling Zhiling secretly gave the translator a look. The translator didn't want to cause trouble, so he nodded and said yes in English!
Xu Yun snorted and whispered, "'Choke to death' my ass … you're not good, but you're putting on airs."
"Oh, hahaha!" Pierce thought that Xu Yun was praising his great figure, so he said very politely, "Thank you."
Xu Yun smiled helplessly in his heart. This foreigner was really stupid. He believed everything he said. It seemed that learning another language was really important. Xu Yun dared to say that even if he smiled at Pierce and said "F * ck you", Pierce would probably smile and say "three grams of oil" to himself.
"Here, is there anything else you want to eat? I'll get it for you. I really don't want to look at this foreigner for another minute. "Xu Yun didn't care at all because this foreigner didn't understand Chinese.
Ling Zhiling pleaded, "That's enough. Prince, let's talk to him properly. Just bear with it, okay?"
Pierce saw Ling Zhiling's embarrassed expression and couldn't help but ask her, "Miss Ling Zhiling, is there anything I can help you with? Is there something that your assistant can't do? "
"No, no, Mr. Pierce. He doesn't understand English, so he feels awkward here." Ling Zhiling casually made up an explanation again, "How about this, if you have anything to talk to us about, I'll help you convey it."
Pierce sneered and said in cold English, "If my advertisement character can't fully understand my meaning, then it's better to change him. If he doesn't even understand English, then his character must be very ordinary. How can he be worthy of Vernus's elegance and luxury? "
The embarrassment on Ling Zhiling's face became more obvious. She could only be glad that Xu Yun didn't understand English, so she could think of a way to deal with him.
Xu Yun showed a playful smile on his face and looked at this foreigner.
"Prince, Pi … Mr. Pierce said that he wants to talk to us about the details of the advertisement. Let's listen carefully." Ling Zhiling said to Xu Yun and then to Pierce in English, "Mr. Pierce, I'm really sorry. This is the role that President Zuo and Mr. Isolda decided on together, so I hope you can bear with it."
Pierce snorted, "Then tell him that even if he was chosen by Mr. Isolda, I have the right to change him. So tell him to show some respect in front of me! This is an international advertisement. As an artist, he should feel honored to be in such an advertisement! "
"Okay, I'll help you convey it." Ling Zhiling smiled apologetically and then threw a pleading look at Xu Yun, "Prince, this is something that President Zuo wants to help with. Can you bear with it for a while? If there's anything, we can talk about it later. Also, Mr. Pierce has already made a concession. He said that he hopes to work with you happily. "
Xu Yun grinned slightly, "Sister Zhiling, even if I don't understand English, I can tell that he's not saying anything good just by looking at his expression. He hopes to work with me happily? Uh, his expression looks like he can't wait to change me. "
