Chapter 21: Three Thousand Floating Lives
Gu Liang and I met Wu Tong at half past six at the gate of Fusheng 3000. Wu Tong obviously came early and had been waiting for a while, but he didn't look the slightest dissatisfied, and his eyes flashed with the excitement of a young man. Even I was dyed a little happy.
"Have you participated in similar entertainment before?" I asked Wu Tong. He shook his head slightly confused.
"Didn't the crew of "The Boy Here" have dinner before?" he shook his head, too, he was a vegan man during that period, and the cliché story of the legendary audition with friends was selected.
"Then you can follow me later, sit on my left, talk less, lower your attitude, you are the most unidentified person at this table, at least for now. Don't drink unnecessary wine, the glass should be a little lower than the other party when toasting, don't rush to get ahead, many things can't be rushed. I educate him, and I also educate Gu Liang, "I'm going to add an etiquette class to you when I go back this time, you have to study hard." ”
He nodded as if he didn't understand, this time I was mainly to bring him and Gu Liang to see the world, and I didn't ask Wu Tong to have a dazzling performance, not to seek merit but to be without fault. Interpersonal communication is a proposition that can never be avoided in this circle, and sooner or later this step must be taken.
Annie, the lobby manager of Fusheng 3000, and I are old acquaintances, I don't understand, whether it is the cuisine or the decoration is antique, authentic Chinese flavor of the restaurant, why the lobby manager calls the English name. Annie is known for her smiling face, and customers from all over the world will sprinkle a lot of money in her pear vortex. If I am a seven-pronged courtesan, then he is a courtesan with ten faces. It is said that outsiders want to hire her to teach etiquette and social skills, and many people want to poach her to do management. But she is willing to stay here for three thousand as her flower head, this is her original words. What a wonderful man.
"Sherry, long time no see. "As soon as she saw me, she greeted me warmly, and the pear vortex was intoxicating. To be honest, my English name is also very ashamed, and I was obsessed with Detective Conan in kindergarten, especially in love with the gray plain mourning, so I gave myself an exact English name, and I was really lazy in the back, and I didn't change it, so it has been used to this day. Fortunately, it sounds like a couple with Vin. This eased my frustration a little.
"Then aren't I here? This is my child Wu Tong and my assistant Gu Liang. I smiled and hugged her, the two newcomers, "Is my list ready?"
"You still don't worry about me?" she smiled coquettishly, I only thought it was interesting to look at Gu Liang and Wu Tong like a spring breeze, "Don't worry, everything is the same." When did your menu and my arrangement go awry? I'll take you to the private room. ”
The box is lit with sandalwood of high quality, giving people a calm and elegant feeling, and the surrounding walls and decoration themes are hibiscus, which are different in shape and beautiful. No matter how many times you come, it still doesn't feel ordinary.
I sat in the guest seat in the second place, Wu Tong and Gu Liang sat on my left hand side in turn, and the main seat facing the door was left to Huang Qishan. It's a hospitality I've learned a lot about. It is no exaggeration to say that I have been in the industry for four years, and I spend more than half of my time socializing with people, but I actually don't like the so-called wine table culture, and the so-called socializing is not the same thing as making friends that I like. When profit is a prerequisite, friendship is difficult to grow in dirty soil. The same goes for Annie and I, whose seemingly solid friendship is nothing more than a mutual benefit. The seniors who brought me into the industry told me that the highest state of thought is to benefit others and oneself, and to achieve others. I think that's a good idea, so I've always made it a social principle to make others feel good.
Huang Qishan and his people came on time, and everyone showed open and honest sincerity. The conversation was a pleasant one, and Wu Tong also showed his face in front of the behind-the-scenes team, of course, a big name like Mr. Feng would naturally not be present, but for Wu Tong, a newcomer, such a specification is not low.
"Who did Princess Mingchan decide in the end?" The atmosphere was harmonious, and I inevitably cared about gossip. After all, she is an actress who plays opposite Wu Tong, so she naturally needs to understand.
"is also a newcomer, Xinghui Film and Television, called Xiao Yitong. "I haven't heard of it, it's really a newcomer who doesn't have a number one work. This kind of newcomer can be sent to Mr. Feng, which is a bit interesting. Although Mr. Feng prefers to support newcomers, it is not an audition for the public, and it is impossible for Mr. Feng to enter the eyes of Mr. Feng without works and ability.
"Don't say it, her agent really doesn't care, the audition is from her little girl. We didn't understand where she came from, but Mr. Feng liked her very much, so he made a decision at that time. Huang Qishan said to me with a little wine.
This is strange, Mr. Feng's arrogance has never been a character who walks through the back door, but this little girl's story sounds like a shady scene. I can't help but be a little worried, it's generally not good to stick to related users. But Wu Tong has no fans and no qualifications, and he is only a third man, where does he get the right to speak?
"Xiao Jiang, you don't have to worry too much. "Huang Qishan comforted me.
The production director also comforted us: "Yes, Mr. Feng's uprightness is not Ah Na is well-known in the circle, how can he bend his waist on such a little girl." Although that little girl is really smart. As he spoke, his taste changed, and he even touched his chin with interest.
The film industry is as chaotic as ever, but I bring all the male actors, and most of the people I work with are men, I really haven't encountered this aspect, but looking at the meaningful smile of the production director, I am disgusted. Not only artists, but also agents in the circle who sacrifice their hue for their own artists to seek a higher position, but it is mostly in the group of newcomer agents. I don't look good and stand firm, but this has happened to me before. Today's young people are too eager for quick success, and now the competition is strong, and the rhythm is fast, and people's hearts will fluctuate, and opportunities can blind too many principles.
Fortunately, I have unwavering faith, and I will not give an inch to him. In this circle, there is nothing out of the mud that is not stained, I just silently put my beloved in my heart, and then want to give him a white place. But for other chaos, I can't change it, and I'm not interested in changing it.
I don't have the breadth of the world, I can only be alone.
Smiling, I stood up and raised a glass to the ranks: "We are gathered here tonight, in order to thank you for your appreciation of my Wu Tong, and to wish our cooperation a happy and smooth cooperation, I suggest that we drink this cup together." Everything goes well for the quest for power. Respect the right to counsel. ”
Everyone drank with me, and the atmosphere at the dinner table reached its highest point. Host and guest delight.
After the end of the show, I had already asked Annie to arrange a car to send Huang Qishan and the others home. Wu Tong and I were driven home by Gu Liang, who had not been drinking.
"Yes, my sister is skilled enough. Wu Tong drank some wine and was more flamboyant than usual.
"What if you don't have a way?Have you added all the WeChat messages of the people I asked you to add before?" I didn't care about his painless stimulation. It's just that he has such a character, and I'm a little afraid that it won't be easy to control after becoming famous.
"Plus, I'll do what you ask me to do. He pursed his lips with an unconvinced expression.
"When the time comes, I'll let you know when the enrollment schedule is set, and you still have to give me a good class at school before that, don't forget the agreement between the two of us. The car was parked at the entrance of Wutong Community, and I nodded to signal him to get out of the car, "Drink some wine and go back to warm some honey lemonade." Rest early. ”
He glanced at me, still with that stinky expression, opened the door and got out of the car, and before closing the door, he probed in with an expressionless face: "Sister, don't fight so hard for a girl in the future, it's not good for girls to drink." Then he closed the door neatly and walked without looking back.
I suddenly put my mind at ease, Wu Tong has a bad personality, but he is very emotional. He's a good boy.
