Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1383 James May

James May is more than 50 years old, with messy hair full of artist style, looks kindly, always with a smile on the corner of his mouth, when he saw Zhao Lei, he stood up and shook hands with him, saying: "You are His Royal Highness introducing Mr. Zhao, hello, I am James May, nice to meet you!"

"Hello, Mr. James May." Since the other party is very kind, Zhao Lei also greeted him politely: "I have watched many of the films you directed, and I appreciate your films very much. I am one of your fans. .”

There are too many people who have praised James May over the years, so he didn't feel anything special. He just smiled out of politeness and said, "Mr. Zhao is too much."

"I'm telling the truth." Zhao Lei sat down opposite James May with a smile, and handed him a wooden box: "It's the first time we meet, I prepared a small gift, it's not a respect."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lei actually prepared a gift. James Mei was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao is so polite. Everyone says that China is a country of etiquette. I saw that today, so I will not be polite. ah."

James May opened the box as he spoke, and was immediately taken aback. There were three white truffles neatly placed in the wooden box!
Although James May did not have a scale at hand, as a seasoned foodie, he quickly estimated that the weight of these three white truffles was more than half a kilogram, which is very rare in the market, and it is difficult to buy even if you have money arrive.

Regardless of the fact that James May is a world-renowned director and is usually used to eating delicacies from all over the world, it is really the first time that he saw three such large white truffles at the same time. No wonder he was so surprised.

The big director glanced at Truffle happily, then slowly pushed the box in front of Zhao Lei and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, this gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."

James May's refusal made Zhao Lei's impression of him better, and he immediately said with a smile: "Mr. Mei, have you forgotten what I do? These three pieces of white truffles are indeed rare, but they are nothing to me." It's a big deal. It's just a wish, so don't refuse!"

After hearing Zhao Lei's words, James May couldn't help laughing and said, "Then I will have the audacity to accept this great gift, thank you, Mr. Zhao!"

Zhao Lei also knew from Prince Abel that this great director also loves food, so he specially prepared this gift.

Zhao Lei's act of doing what he liked was very effective, and quickly narrowed the distance between the two.At this time, the waiter brought coffee to Zhao Lei, he thanked him politely, took a sip from the cup, and then frowned slightly involuntarily.

James Mei had a panoramic view of Zhao Lei's reaction, and couldn't help asking him curiously: "This is the best Blue Mountain coffee. Mr. Zhao thinks this coffee is not to your taste?"

Zhao Lei smiled reservedly and said, "I'm an amateur when it comes to coffee, but... I think this coffee is really not as good as my Fairy Gourd coffee."

As a senior gourmet, James May is also very interested in coffee. Hearing this, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up and said, "Is there any better coffee than Blue Mountain? So... where can I buy it?"

"Because of the production limit, there is no plan to sell it for the time being. It will only be sold in Xianhu-Hammond cafes that are opening one after another around the world." Zhao Lei told James-May honestly: "One of them is located in Hollywood. It won’t be long before the official opening.”

James May was taken aback and said, "Cafe Hammond? Is this Hammond the master coffee roaster Richard Hammond?"

After receiving Zhao Lei's affirmative answer, James May said with great anticipation: "I really want to taste the coffee that Richard Hammond affirms as soon as possible!"

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "It's not too difficult. I'll call my subordinates and ask them to send you some as soon as possible."

James Mei said happily: "This is really great, thank you, Mr. Zhao!"

The conversation between the two started with the ingredients, and soon became familiar. James May also got to the point, and asked Zhao Lei seriously: "Mr. related?"

James Mei only knew that Zhao Lei was a well-known ingredient supplier, and he was afraid that he was going to advertise for the Xiangou brand ingredients.After all, James May is a world-renowned director. It would be too shameful for him to shoot some cattle and sheep, such as foie gras and truffles. James May would never agree.

Fortunately, Zhao Lei said with a smile: "I plan to launch a skin care product with very good effects, so I want to ask Mr. James May to help shoot a skin care product advertisement. I already have a broadcast plan. This advertisement will be broadcast on both TV and It will be broadcast on the Internet, and there will be advertisement screenshots and posters at the same time."

Hearing that Zhao Lei wanted to invite him to shoot a skin care commercial, James May secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Since the advertisement was broadcast all over the world, it also moved his heart. After pondering for a moment, he asked Zhao Lei: "Mr. Zhao, do you have a suitable candidate for the advertisement?"

Hearing James May's words, Zhao Lei couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, knowing that he was a little moved, and quickly said with a smile: "I'm a layman in this field, if you are willing to shoot this commercial for me, of course everything is completely up to you. "

This answer made James May nod secretly, and he quickly asked: "What if the cost of shooting commercials has increased significantly?"

Zhao Lei said indifferently: "As long as the advertisement is shot well, it is completely worth spending more money. As long as it is not too high, I can completely accept it."

Zhao Lei's attitude made James Mei very satisfied. After thinking for a moment, he nodded lightly and said, "To tell you the truth, I have two suitable candidates for commercials. If you can accept... I am willing to shoot this commercial for you !"

Zhao Lei stretched out his hand to James Mei with a smile and said, "Mr. Mei, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" James May also shook hands with Zhao Lei with satisfaction, and said to him with a smile on his face: "Let's make an appointment to meet tomorrow, and I will introduce you to the candidates for the commercial. They are all international supermodels. The circle is very famous, if they are invited to shoot skin care product advertisements, it will be very beneficial to increase the popularity of the products.”

Since James May is a professional, Zhao Lei certainly has no objections and accepted his suggestion without hesitation.

So in the afternoon of the second day, Zhao Lei met with James May again in the same coffee shop, and met with the two candidates he recommended for shooting commercials.
