Chapter 438: Bazaar Charity Night
Bazaar Charity Night, or "Bazaar Star Charity Gala", originated from the "SARS" epidemic that ravaged the country more than ten years ago.
At that time, Bazaar believed that as the "uncrowned king", he should take responsibility. So at Na Ying's suggestion, it was decided to call on celebrities to take out some items they didn't need for auction, and the auction proceeds were used for charitable donations.
At that time, because it was the first time to be held, there was no brand support, and the entertainment industry in 03 was not very developed, so only about 160,000 donations were raised. Although the money is not much, at least it is used for charity.
The epidemic calmed down quickly, and it only took half a year before and after. However, after that, Bazaar Charity Night was retained, and it was held once a year as scheduled.
Gradually, with the rapid development of the entertainment industry and the increasing attention of the public to the entertainment industry, this charity dinner has now become one of the largest fixed activities in the domestic entertainment industry every year.
It's just that this dinner in the past was "Bazaar Charity Night". Now, it has gradually become "Bazaar Star Night".
It's good, Shengshi Entertainment. Scold!
Bazaar's criteria for inviting guests is who is popular and who is invited, as for what is considered popular, one is to see if it can bring a larger topic, and the other is to see if it can afford enough donations.
With this condition, Mu Ming is undoubtedly one of the guests Basha wants to invite the most.
In fact, Mu Ming has been invited once for the 14-year-old Bazaar Charity Night. However, at that time, it was just in time for the publicity period of "Genius Gunman", and Mu Ming was running a roadshow, so how could he still have time to participate.
Before this year's charity night, Bazaar invited Mu Ming again. People were warmly invited, and Mu Ming had a lot of time, and the most important thing was that she was in the name of "charity", so Mu Ming brought Xiao Zhao here.
Of course, those who are familiar with Mu Ming know that generally speaking, whenever he agrees to attend such a large-scale event dinner, it is basically because of other purposes. This time was no exception, he came mainly to find Deng Chao and talk about a new film project.
However, tonight's Bazaar Charity Night set up a donation game in which teams competed. Deng Chao, Huang Bo, and Huang Sect Leader, as the star captains of the three teams, have to lead their respective team members to compete for which team the next charity auction items belong to.
Therefore, Deng Chao is on stage, playing childish games with a group of stars. If you want to talk to him about something, you'll have to wait a little longer.
"Mu Ming, you said that they are so busy up there, let's just sit here and eat, isn't it a little bad?"
Xiao Zhao swallowed a piece of pastry in his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth, looked at the chaotic stage, and leaned into Mu Ming's ear. Conveniently, he also snatched an orange he had just peeled.
Mu Ming glanced at this young lady who robbed others of the fruits of her labor with disdain, and said indifferently: "What's wrong." This time it's millions of dollars, and no one is allowed to eat and drink. ”
"That's right. Xiao Zhao slapped Mu Ming's hand away in vain trying to steal the orange, and said in agreement.
Sun Li, who was at the same table with Mu Ming, heard the chat of the little couple, looked back at the two of them and smiled speechlessly: "You two are really enough, so many media and cameras are there, be careful if you are photographed and don't know what they will write." ”
"It's okay, whatever they write. Mu Ming said indifferently.
Charity dinner, since it's called a "dinner party", how can there be a reason not to eat. Besides, the food on the table, especially fruits and the like, will not last long, and most of them will definitely be wasted in the end. Instead of that, you might as well eat more.
"By the way, Sister Sun Li, what has Brother Chao been busy with lately?" While eating, Mu Ming chatted by the way.
"Isn't "Villain Angel" finished two days ago, and I'm busy doing the post-production. Sun Li explained.
"Villain Angel", Deng Chao's second self-directed and self-acted work after "The Breakup Master". And this time, I also pulled my daughter-in-law on, obviously wanting to do a big job and surpass the results of the previous one.
Of course, the rest of the story is clear to everyone. After the release, the bad reviews spread like a tide, and Deng Chao's director's reputation fell to the bottom, and the final results were not as good as the previous one.
Mu Ming has memories of her previous life, and naturally knows how "" this "Villain Angel" is, so she didn't ask at all. Unexpectedly, this has already been filmed.
Mu Ming actually wanted to ask Sun Li, why did she agree to star in such a movie that was completely rotten when she read the script. Because of true love?
Of course, this kind of question is just thinking about it, and it will not be asked.
However, Mu Ming felt a little more. He leaned into Xiao Zhao's ear and asked in a low voice: "Sister, if one day, I want to make a script that is terrible at first glance and want to find you to star in it, will you agree?"
"It's terrible at first glance?" The young lady blinked, looked at Mu Ming and asked, "Why do you want to make a movie that sucks at first glance?"
"I mean, if. ”
"Then would you make a movie like this that sucks at first glance?"
"It should ...... No way. ”
"So what's the point of your question?"
Mu Ming scratched her hair, what the young lady said seemed to make sense.
Sure enough, questions like this "what if" are all nonsense.
Mu Ming and Deng Chao had a good relationship, but they were not very familiar with Sun Li, so they didn't say anything. However, Xiao Zhao was more familiar with her, so while eating, there was a small talk about it.
After all, it was a charity dinner, and the focus was on the charity auction, so the time for these messy game sessions in front of it was not very long, and it passed quickly.
"Wow, I've worked so stage, you two have been hiding here to eat. Deng Chao, who had just stepped down, saw Mu Ming and the two who were eating happily, and pretended to exaggerate.
By the time Deng Chao sat down, the stage had already entered the second stage of the actual auction, and the scene was a little quieter than just now, just right for everyone to chat and talk about business.
"What are you looking for me?" Deng Chao took a sip of the red wine on the table, and then asked Mu Ming. As early as the beginning of the dinner, Mu Ming told him that he had something to look for him today.
"It's about movies. Mu Ming said: "Brother Chao, do you know the 'Lu Yong case' at the beginning of this year, about the purchase of anti-cancer drugs?"
"Lu Yong's case?" Deng Chao asked rhetorically, shook his head after a recollection, and said, "Is this a name?" I don't seem to have paid much attention to it. ”
"It's Lu Yong, not Lu Yong's case. Mu Ming took out her mobile phone, searched for it, and handed it to Deng Chao.
"Anticancer drugs...... Gleevec ...... Purchasing agent ...... "I don't know if it's the sequelae left by the filming of "Let's Run", Deng Chao watched and whispered from time to time.
"This dude, it's pretty good. ”
There was no complicated process in this matter, so Deng Chao quickly finished reading it. Returning the phone to Mu Ming, Deng Chao asked curiously, "By the way, was he sentenced in the end?"
"Nope. Because he was purchased and sold at the original price and was not profitable, it was not considered smuggling. The procuratorate finally withdrew the charge, which is equivalent to admitting his innocence. Mu Ming explained simply.
"Oh, that's pretty good. Deng Chao nodded, and then looked at Mu Ming with some confusion and asked, "So, ...... you are looking for me?"
"Brother Chao, don't you think this case is quite suitable for adaptation into a script?" Mu Ming finally said her purpose: "I want to shoot it, but I need a Mesozoic actor with good enough acting skills." How about Brother Chao, are you interested?"
