Chapter 619: Queen of Heaven
Wu Hao is a big man in the Xiangjiang film industry, and his connections are of course the most and strongest in this circle, so most of the stars who came to participate in this charity dinner were actors.
Li Mingzhi, Lu Jiahao, Wan Xun, Sun Yaxuan, Li Xin...
Luo Kai basically knows all of them, or to be precise, he has seen them in movies and television, but today is the first time he has seen a real person.
And most of these well-known actors in Xiangjiang are in their thirties and forties, and even in their fifties and sixties, and there are very few young people.
This actually reflects the current situation of Xiangjiang films, that is, the situation of lack of talent is quite serious, and there are very few actors in the younger generation who can take the lead.
Luo Kai was quite emotional in his heart, but he couldn't say that he was sad or anything, because such a situation can be said to be completely self-inflicted by Xiangjiang filmmakers, and the result of being closed and conservative is naturally to be quickly abandoned by the times.
However, Xiangjiang's film industry system is still very mature and perfect, with decades of accumulation and development, and in some aspects it still maintains a leading position in the mainland, which is exactly where Luo Kai needs to take advantage.
What he didn't expect was that when the charity dinner was about to start, a real celebrity suddenly appeared in the grand ballroom.
"Sister Wen!"
The first to discover the other party was Wu Jiamei, who accompanied Wu Hao and Luo Kai to greet the guests, her pretty eyes widened in disbelief, and she covered her mouth with her hand.
The person who came nodded at her with a smile, and then said to Wu Hao, "Brother Hao, good evening." ”
Wu Hao was also very surprised: "It's really an honor for Miss Liwen to come!"
This graceful woman is Li Liwen, the queen of the Xiangjiang music scene, Li Liwen has debuted for more than 20 years, released more than 10 albums, and has a total sales volume of more than 10 million, and is quite influential in the entire Asian Chinese-speaking circle.
Because last time Wu Jiamei's "Next Stop Diva" hit the list on the Voice of Hong Kong Island list, she was appreciated and recommended by Li Liwen, who has a large number of Hkme fans, which helped "Next Stop Diva" reach the top to a large extent.
It is precisely because of this favor that Wu Hao also sent an invitation letter to the record company where Li Liwen signed a contract, but he didn't expect the diva to attend in person.
After all, in recent years, Li Liwen has not been very keen on social activities, and she has appeared less in public, and it is rumored that she is tired of the entertainment industry and is ready to quit.
Wu Hao's face is certainly not small, and it is really not enough to invite this Xiangjiang diva.
So he was more or less surprised and proud.
Li Liwen smiled and said, "Brother Hao is too polite, I'm just here to join in the fun, by the way..."
She gestured to the assistant who followed and said, "This is an item I donated, which can be regarded as a contribution to charity, I hope Brother Hao will give me this opportunity." ”
Wu Hao said: "Where is it, Miss Liwen is too polite. ”
He motioned to Wu Jiamei to take the donation from Li Liwen's assistant, and this thing was definitely going to be auctioned.
He then introduced Luo Kai: "This is Mr. Luo Kai, and he is also the founder of the Early Summer Charity Foundation. ”
Luo Kai said politely: "Hello Sister Liwen, thank you for your support to the Early Summer Charity Fund. ”
Li Liwen's gaze naturally fell on Luo Kai, her eyes lit up slightly, and she stretched out her hand and said: "Mr. Luo Kai, I have long heard of the name of the best music talent in the mainland, and I finally saw it today." ”
In the two years since his debut, although Luo Kai has only released one album, his works have been widely circulated, not only in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
He is also regarded as the best singer-songwriter in the Chinese music scene.
Luo Kai shook hands with her: "Sister Liwen praised it." ”
Li Liwen is in her forties this year, but because of proper maintenance, she looks like she is only in her early thirties, in fact, her appearance is not very beautiful, with single eyelids and thick lips and a thin face, but she has a very special temperament, indifferent and graceful.
The queen looked at Mo Lan who was standing beside Luo Kai and smiled: "This must be Miss Mo Lan." ”
Mo Lan smiled: "Hello Sister Liwen, I am your fan Mo Lan." ”
Her slightly playful greeting made everyone laugh, Li Liwen smiled: "I knew that there was such a beautiful and charming fan as you, then I should have invited you to Xiangjiang as a guest early." ”
Wu Hao hahaha: "It's not too late!"
Since the guests were basically all here, he warmly invited Li Liwen to sit at a table with Luo Kai, Mo Lan, Li Mengru and others, and then personally came to the stage to announce the start of this charity dinner.
Li Liwen and Mo Lan sat next to each other, although the two met for the first time, one was a queen of the Xiangjiang music scene, and the other was a mainland music queen, but they had a lot of common language, and the conversation and laughter quickly became enthusiastic.
The guests who attended the dinner, especially those celebrities in the circle, were very surprised and surprised to see Li Liwen in person, if it wasn't for the wrong time, I am afraid that they would all come over to chat a few words.
At 7:30 a.m., the highlight of the night, the charity auction, officially began.
The auction lots came from donations from the guests who attended the dinner, although they were nominally dedicated to charity, but in fact, it was mainly Wu Hao's face, otherwise the Xiangjiang circle would not recognize Luo Kai and Mo Lan, two mainland stars.
Of course, Luo Kai, Mo Lan and Li Mengru also took out a few high-grade lots, and the lots provided by Luo Kai were "loaned" to him by Mo Lan.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests!"
A well-dressed auctioneer stood in front of the auction table with a smile and said loudly: "Welcome to the charity auction of [Across the World, Xiangjiang Night], thank you very much to all the philanthropists for the lots provided, the first item we auctioned tonight..."
A hostess walked up to the stage with a lot in her hand, stood in the spotlight, and listened to the auctioneer continue: "It is a glaze red entwined flower pattern diamond mouth tray donated by Chairman Wu Hao Wu of Garbo Pictures, and the starting price is 100,000 yuan!"
This piece of tray was produced in Jingdezhen during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and its condition is quite perfect, shining with the unique luster of porcelain under the light of the spotlight, and the value must be far more than 100,000.
As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, someone immediately raised a sign: "200,000!"
"Okay, this gentleman is bidding 200,000..."
The auctioneer immediately became excited: "200,000, is there anything higher..."
"300,000! This lady bids 300,000!"
As soon as the first lot came out, it received a series of bids from the guests, and the auction atmosphere followed, and the glaze red entwined flower pattern rhombic tray was raised to the price of 650,000 Hong Kong dollars in a short time.
