Mia Rothschild!
Chen Fan had never heard of this name.
But 놆 is not unfamiliar with this surname.
Because on the domestic Internet and in various academic works, the name Rothschild is very famous.
The Rothschild family is a prestigious financial family in Europe and even in the world.
It was once circulated on the Internet that this family was one of the families with the longest history and the greatest wealth.
Chen Fan naturally knew that this rumor was false, but it was undeniable that the Rothschild family was still one of the top families in the world.
Of course, many people only focus on the family's wealth, but ignore the powerful connections and influence that this family has in politics, business and financial streets.
"The Rothschild family?"
Chen Fan asked in a low voice out of curiosity.
Harry Sloan nodded with a smile.
"That's right."
"Their family is not only well-known in the financial street, but has also built a huge wine empire in the wine industry."
"Their family's wineries, such as Lafite and Mouton, are valued at over 5 billion euros, with annual sales of hundreds of millions of dollars and a profit margin of 30%-40%."
Chen Fan couldn't help but secretly smack his lips in amazement. These people really knew how to do business.
Apart from anything else, Lafite red wine is extremely famous in China, especially the internet meme of "have a glass of 1982 Lafite", which has become a popular catchphrase for almost everyone to show off.
I don’t know why, after so many years, I can never finish the 1982 Lafite.
"Ms. Mia is now the head of Chateau Lafite."
"If you are interested in the wine industry, I can introduce you to each other later."
Harrison also enthusiastically introduced to Chen Fan: "The red wine industry in your country is currently heating up. If you join in now, you may be able to make a lot of money."
Chen Fan was happy.
"I didn't expect that you, who works in the film and television industry, would know so much about this."
Harry Sloan smiled proudly: "Of course."
As the protagonist came on stage, the beautiful Miss Mia gave a speech to the protagonist, and then announced the official start of tonight's tasting session.
The waiters began to serve this year's newly released wines for all the guests to taste.
Chen Fan also took a cup and took a sip out of curiosity.
To be honest, Chen Fan was not very good at red wine, but he could still taste that these red wines were indeed incomparable to those sold on the shelves of domestic supermarkets.
It is called a wine tasting meeting, but in fact it is also a large-scale exchange meeting for upper-class people.
Many guests held wine glasses and walked among the crowd, chatting with old friends and making some new friends. This was the purpose of their visit.
Harrison was very enthusiastic and introduced Chen Fan to several friends in the circle.
Chen Fan could only smile along, but what he was thinking was that it was indeed not easy to blend into the upper class society, at least you had to be able to pretend.
But in his heart, Chen Fan still felt that he had nothing in common with these people.
These people chat about stocks, red wine, rock climbing, golf, mountaineering, paragliding...
None of these people were people that Chen Fan normally came into contact with.
Just when he was bored, a middle-aged man in a gray suit came over and greeted Harry Sloan.
"Hello, Mr. Sloane."
When Chen Fan saw this person, he felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where he was for a moment.
I guess it should be a Hollywood actor. I should have seen him in the media before.
Harry Sloan's eyes lit up when he saw the other person.
"Oh, old friend, I didn't expect you to be here too."
"I just happened to introduce you to a new friend."
Harrison took Chen Fan and introduced him, "This is my friend Chen Fan, from China."
"Mr. Chen Fan is a successful businessman."
"Brother Chen, I wonder if you know this person, Christopher Nolan. He is a famous Hollywood director."
Chen Fan was stunned.
I responded immediately.
Nolan?
No wonder I felt this person looked familiar just now.
He is very familiar with the great director Nolan.
Moreover, this person was one of Chen Fan's favorite directors before.
"Hello Mr. Nolan, I am a fan of yours. I have seen all your works."
Chen Fan smiled and stretched out his hand towards the other party.
Nolan politely extended his hand and shook hands with Chen Fan, but he didn't seem to be very interested in Chen Fan.
After shaking hands, he continued to chat with Harry Sloan.
"Mr. Sloan, I would like to ask if you have read the script I gave you last time. Do you want to invest in it?"
Harry Sloan chuckled.
"Of course I have. But Mr. Nolan, please listen to me first."
"After I showed the script to the company's R&D team, they all agreed that the script was too complicated. And..."
"You need too much investment. With our company's current operating conditions, I'm afraid we can't afford to support you with that much money."
"I want to say I'm sorry. I know you're a famous director, but... I'm afraid our company is really powerless to help you."
Hearing this, the light in Nolan's eyes gradually faded, and a hint of undisguised disappointment flashed across his eyes.
I worked so hard to prepare the script, but after asking several film companies, none of them dared to invest.
Firstly, because the amount of investment required is huge, these companies are unwilling to take the risk for fear of losing money.
Second, everyone thinks that this script is too complicated and may not make money if it is filmed.
"Can't you...consider it again? I have been preparing this script for a long time. I will definitely make it a good one."
Harrison smiled bitterly: "Old friend, no, I don't trust your directing ability, and given the current operating conditions of our company, we really can't come up with so much money for a big gamble."
"You know, I'm not the only one who has the final say in the company. There are many shareholders above me. I have to be responsible for them."
Hearing this, Nolan sighed in disappointment.
"In that case, I won't disturb your conversation anymore."
Nolan was about to turn around and leave, but Harry Sloan's eyes lit up.
"Old friend, are you willing to accept investment from a foreign company?"
"Huh?" Nolan was a little confused.
Harrison smiled and pulled Chen Fan over to him.
"Mr. Chen also runs a film and television company in China. He is not short of money."
"Our company encountered financial difficulties in the 007 movie before, and it was only with Mr. Chen's investment that the filming was successfully completed."
Upon hearing this, Nolan's eyes lit up instantly.
"Mr. Chen has a film and television company?"
Chen Fan nodded: "Yes."
"Has Mr. Chen's film and television company produced any films in the international market?"
Chen Fan was stunned, then smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"My company is still focusing on the domestic market and has no overseas products for the time being."
Hearing this, Nolan was a little disappointed and felt that Chen Fan should be running a small company.
He doesn't think highly of such a small company.
With his fame, if he wants to attract investment, countless small film companies will compete to invest in him.
But Nolan refused. He needed strong financial support and would not allow any accidents to happen during the filming.
Seeing that Nolan seemed a little disappointed, Chen Fan couldn't help but ask.
"Mr. Nolan, can you briefly talk about your script this time?"
