Yunding Ranch

Chapter 307
It was late at night, and the celebration party was drawing to a close.

Tonight, Eaton generously took out five bottles of Romanée-Conti, allowing every guest present at the celebration banquet to taste at least a full glass of Romanée-Conti, which brought the atmosphere to a climax. Everyone was cheering and jumping for joy.

It was already two o'clock in the morning when Nick was about to leave.

"You're not angry because of my previous remarks, are you?" Lu Li could tell that Nick was at the party, and he was worried.

Nick laughed and shook his head, "Of course not. In fact, you are right. We have gained a lot and lost a lot. I always thought that it was the craftsmanship that made Romanee-Conti possible. But unconsciously In the present, there is not much left of the original intention, as you said, this time, it is Romanee-Conti who has achieved the spirit of craftsmanship."

Nick sighed a little.

Recalling the scene when Lu Li visited the winery before, it seemed like a lifetime ago.

Nick's smile rose again, "Maybe, we also need to re-examine ourselves. We always maintain the mood of starting from scratch and starting again."

Lu Li patted his chest exaggeratedly, "Fortunately, I thought I wouldn't be able to enter the winery in the future. Even if I can't drink Romanee-Conti, at least I can enter the winery and show off to my friends."

Nick was amused, and laughed out loud, "I originally wanted to visit your ranch. In October, your Pinot Noir harvest will be abundant. The busy scene is just in my mind It makes people feel emotional. But unfortunately, I have to rush back to France this time, and I can only wait for the next time."

"Are you sure you didn't want to escape from me?" Lu Li said in a teasing tone.

Nick blinked and said solemnly, "You do. You're not as important as you think."

The two smiled at each other.

Not long after Nick left, Lu Li was also about to leave.

At this time, about half of the party had left, and Edward and Elizabeth were still dancing in the crowd, busy without touching the ground. The couple shared all 66 bottles of Henry-Jayer. This generous move was successful. They won applause and cheers.In fact, the elite class is not as happy as imagined.

"Are you planning to leave too?" Joseph saw Lu Li's footsteps and walked over.

At this time, Lu Li's cheeks were flushed, with a bright smile on his lips, his eyes were slightly blurred, "I drank a little too much, if I don't go back, I might fall asleep next to the garbage dump."

Joseph was similar, with a flushed face, "I just found three people in the bathroom, huddled in their respective corners in an extremely awkward way. Party, always like this." Joseph's tone of voice was also slightly more cheerful than usual, The effects of alcohol are now unavoidable.

Taking a deep breath, Joseph returned to the topic, "I came here to ask you, after the Romanee-Conti series is over, will you update the manuscripts for tonight's auction, as well as the Coolmore Racecourse series, on your blog? ?”

Lu Li obviously didn't expect that Joseph would do it for this matter. He paused for a moment and said decisively, "Of course, I'm a freelancer now, and this is my job."

"Very good." Joseph nodded and said with certainty, "I will pay close attention when the time comes. To be honest, I don't know much about Coolmore Racecourse, but, if it weren't for your column, I would have a lot of knowledge about Romanee-Conti The understanding of the winery has always remained at the original level. Therefore, I am looking forward to reading the follow-up articles.”

First Time, then The New York Times.Both editors expressed their expectations for Lu Li's blog, which is really rare.

Just a few days ago, Lu Li was still worrying about whether his career as a reporter had come to an end after leaving the "New York Observer". Without Julia's relationship, he wanted to find a place in the New York media circle. , It is difficult to reach the sky; but who knows, it ushered in a new dawn, and it is not a random small newspaper, but one of the top media in the world.

For any journalist, the "New York Times" and "Time Magazine" are the top media that they dream of, just like Neverland.

Now, Lu Li has entered the field of vision of the editors-in-chief of these two media.

Of course, both Joseph and Stanley are people who have seen the world. To them, Lu Li is just a potential stock with a little talent. They may read Lu Li's blog, but it does not represent any substantive commitment. Don't talk about jobs.However, such continuous attention is enough.

Farewell to the "New York Observer", but ushered in a broader sky.Lu Li's mood leaped involuntarily.

"It seems that I have to go back to catch up on the manuscript now. Otherwise, it's not good to miss the editor's deadline." Lu Li's teasing made Joseph also smile.

Joseph watched Lu Li leave as he left.

As the editor-in-chief, Joseph certainly knows that there are more and more talents now, and young people come in waves one after another, especially after the pace of globalization has accelerated. Under the fierce competition, the requirements for the quality of journalists Also getting higher and higher.But at the same time, there are also requirements for cultural diversity and changeable perspectives. In the Internet torrent, if news wants to stand out, it is no longer enough to rely on gimmicks and hot spots.

It's like Brandon Stanton in "Man in New York".

He is not the first to record the footprints of the city, nor is he the first to record life with a camera, but he has achieved success. Why?Because of his unique touch, he captured the diversity of the city of New York, especially the differences in the lives of immigrants and different classes.

There is no deliberate sensationalism, no particular political correctness, some are just truthful, rustic, and pure.

So, Brandon succeeded.

Joseph also captured a similar texture on Lu Li's body. Unlike Brandon, Lu Li used words. Moreover, the "foreigner" attribute on him has a unique style.This made Joseph see the possibility.

Joseph will continue to wait and see for a while, besides Romanee-Conti, to see what other abilities Lu Li has, is it just a flash of inspiration, or is it real?Joseph faintly looked forward to it.

After leaving the top floor of the Hilton Hotel, Lu Li and Fred did not rush to hail a taxi, but walked slowly along the street. Both of them were a little too drunk and needed to be sober.

"How's your harvest today?" Lu Li looked at Fred, who was walking lightly, and asked.

Fred didn't answer, but cheered for a while, trot forward, then jumped up excitedly, spun a circle in the air, but when he landed, he couldn't stand still, staggered around on the street, almost At one o'clock, he was about to fall into the flower garden next to him, but he didn't care at all, and laughed heartily.

"It's great! It's great!" Fred turned around and started to back away, shouting at Lu Li.

Lu Li opened his mouth. Just as he was about to remind Fred that there was a trash can behind him, Fred bumped into it. He spun around twice while supporting his waist, and whistled, "New York City." Fred Laughed heartily, and continued, "Not only did I meet the editor-in-chief of the 'New York Times' tonight, but I also chatted with the editor of the 'National Geographic' for an hour. In addition, I also got a job offer, you Do you know what the job is?"

Lu Li spread his hands, indicating that he was waiting for Fred's answer.

Fred jumped up again, and then he said excitedly, "Victoria's Secret's live filming of this year's show!"

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise, "I thought you mainly photographed landscapes and recorded life, catwalks? This is a fashion thing, and it has nothing to do with you, right?"

Fred rolled his big eyes and yelled, "Fourteen, are you out of your mind? This is the Victoria's Secret catwalk! God, the most beautiful, hottest sex in the world Models come together and that's reason enough! Okay? No one would say no to a job like that, no one!"

The brisk voice echoed in the street, causing Lu Li to laugh heartily, "I know, of course I know." "Victoria's Secret", every man's ultimate fantasy. "What I want to know is, can I join you?"

"This is the correct answer! This is the answer I want to hear!" Fred snapped his fingers, exuding joy all over his body.

Lu Li laughed dumbfounded, and only then did he have a chance to explain what he meant just now, "What I mean is, I thought you insisted on following your own path and insisting on your own understanding of photography. In this case, a catwalk is not a wise choice."

Fred let out a long breath, his chest heaving violently, "I know, of course I know." Fred finally calmed down a little, and then walked to Lu Li's side, "I originally wanted to refuse Yes. But, 'Victoria's Secret' is a part of life, it belongs to the entertainment circle, it belongs to Vanity Fair, it belongs to a part of the big city, maybe, under my lens, everything is no longer so colorful and dazzling. At least, I wish my shots could be different."

Lu Li gently closed his jaw, expressing his understanding, "The photographer captures the moments of life, that's a fact. But, having said that, I'm serious, can you take me in with you?"

"Haha." Fred laughed triumphantly, "See what you do next." Fred walked back quickly and put his arm around Lu Li's shoulder, "So, what's going on with you now? Why did you just say that you had a problem with the 'New York Observer'?"

"It's just a literal situation, there is a problem between us." The explanation was too complicated, so Lu Li dismissed it lightly.

Fred did not continue to ask, "Then you are also a freelancer now?"

"I guess, yes." Lu Li nodded in affirmation.

"Very well, both of them are unemployed, and neither of them wants to admit it." Fred's alternative explanation is indeed full of characteristics.

Lu Li raised his right hand high, "Salute to the unemployed."

No, there was an echo from the other side of the street, "Salute to the unemployed!" Everyone laughed together.
