Chapter 238: The Big Wedding (Medium)
Zhuang Zhiming, a reporter for Hong Kong's Xin Pao newspaper, had just replaced his camera with a new roll of film, and he had more than 20 rolls of film in his backpack, totaling nearly 700 photos. I don't know how many of these photos will be selected after they are washed.
For this reason, he brought two cameras with him today, one of which was specially used to photograph some important dignitaries. The photos taken by this camera are more likely to be picked by the editors. The other camera is used to shoot some ordinary guests, and most of the film is taken with this camera, but hundreds of photos may not be published in the newspaper tomorrow, and will only be stored as information in the photo library of the ZĂ i newspaper.
Those characters who can hold up half of the page on weekdays are classified as less important ordinary guests by Zhuang Zhiming today. For example, Xu Guanjie, who is now the hottest in the Hong Kong film industry, starred in "Modern Bodyguard" last year, which pushed the box office record of Hong Kong movies from less than 10 million Hong Kong dollars to 17.76 million Hong Kong dollars in one go. And the new movie "Best Partner", which was released in January this year, pushed this record that shocked Hong Kong to an incredible 26 million Hong Kong dollars again.
If in the past, Xu Guanjie's appearance was enough to focus all the flashes. And today, the "four Xu brothers" appeared at the same time, but on this day of VIPs, his status is still a little insufficient.
"Brother Ming, the menu for the Li family's dinner is out!" "Xin Pao" was allocated two places today, and was allowed to come to the Regent Hotel for interviews, one is photojournalist Zhuang Zhiming, and the other is Tang Fengying, who is in charge of text interviews.
"I'll take a look, yes. Of the twelve dishes, the first is the red crispy roast suckling pig, and there is no shortage of other sea cucumbers, abalone, and shark fins. This table is estimated to cost thousands of Hong Kong dollars!" Zhuang Zhiming quickly glanced at the exquisite menu, and then raised his camera to take a close-up of the menu.
"The price given by the Regent Hotel is 2,888 yuan per table!" Tang Fengying replied, "By the way, Li Sheng and Miss Zhong will come to thank the reporter later, you better hurry up and grab a good position!"
As soon as Tang Fengying finished speaking, there was a commotion not far away, and Zhuang Zhiming saw that the situation was not right. Holding the camera on his chest with both hands, he ran forward as fast as he could.
Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong, escorted by a group of bodyguards, struggled to find a way out of the encirclement of more than 100 reporters.
"Don't worry, everyone. Later, the bride and groom will leave time for everyone to take pictures and ask questions!" Lin Yuhao, who was following behind Li Xuan, hurriedly shouted to the enthusiastic reporters, and everyone's order finally became orderly.
He was followed by several assistants. Immediately take out a stack of red envelopes. One for each of the reporters at the scene. The reporters took the red packets, and most of them said a word of blessing to the newcomers in a loud voice. These people are worthy of being tricky, and the auspicious words of hundreds of people are almost not the same.
After that, Li Xuan held Zhong Chuhong and asked the photographers at the scene to take pictures. The two of them could barely open their eyes in the dense flashing lights, but they had to keep the smiles on their faces.
"Li Sheng, do you have any plans to create a human after you and Miss Zhong get married?"
"Yes, Ah Hong and I are going to have a golden pig baby!" Li Xuan glanced at his wife with a smile. He replied cheerfully.
Next year happens to be the Year of the Pig in the Chinese zodiac, and in Chinese tradition, the "Golden Pig" is the year when it is good to give birth. The parents of the two have been secretly urging them for a long time. Hurry up and have a baby.
"Li Sheng, do you prefer boys or girls?" another reporter asked.
"Can I be greedy and want a dragon and phoenix fetus!" Li Xuan avoided with a smile.
Today is a day of great joy, and reporters will naturally not ask some unpleasant questions without eyes. Li Xuan is also in good spirits on happy occasions, has a strong conversation, and answers most of the reporters' questions. After answering more than a dozen questions, Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong said goodbye and returned to the banquet hall.
The next wedding reception was a more private time, and reporters were not allowed to enter the hotel for internal interviews. The important guests have also entered, and the reporters are not as busy as before. Photojournalists can find a place to rest in their free time, and the afternoon tea sent by the Li family is already cold.
The Li family noticed this detail very carefully, and let the hotel change to new refreshments. After the dinner starts, all the reporters outside the hotel can also use the sumptuous banquet first. This alone makes many reporters feel that they should give Li Sheng a thumbs up and write a more colorful report. Many of the text reporters simply started compiling their manuscripts on the spot.
"How much do you think Li Sheng will give 'Li Shi'?" someone asked.
"Why don't you say a number per person, the person who guesses the most accurately, please have a supper tonight?" the other reporter asked.
Zhuang Zhiming didn't participate in this game, he had already invited the other two friends who had just moved his seat to dinner, so he opened his red envelope and glanced at it, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face. Two hundred and eighty-eight, the Li family is very generous, which is worth three days' salary than the outer fast.
At a quarter past seven, the venue rang the bell to put away the mahjong, and all the guests took their seats. After everyone was seated, the lights in the banquet hall went out one by one, and the whole hall slowly dimmed.
Suddenly, a melodious and warm piano sound came, and those who like the piano had already heard that this was the immortal masterpiece improvised by Bach - "Concerto of Love". In the midst of cheerful and lingering piano tunes, a huge screen has been erected in the center of the stage.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was a photo of Li Xuan when he was full moon, he was sitting on a small bamboo stool specially made by the photo studio, wearing open crotch pants, and the little JJ was unabashedly displayed in front of all the guests, and there was a burst of laughter in the banquet hall. Soon the picture turned, and in the second photo, a baby with a round face appeared, and there was a rare shadow of Chu Hong between his eyebrows.
From childhood to adolescence, from childhood to youthful blooming, the journey through time, the picture of the bride and groom growing up all the way, slowly unfolds in melodious music. At the end of the five-minute piano music, the picture freezes the smiling face of the groom as he walks out of the house to greet the bride.
Soon, a melodious melody sounded in the banquet hall again, and along with the beautiful melody, it was Li Xuan's slightly magnetic singing voice that came to the ears of all the guests. And it has already appeared on the screen, when Li Xuan went to greet the bride in the morning, he sang the song "Your Name My Surname" affectionately to his beloved.
At the end of the on-screen singing, the four emcees did not appear in the center of the stage, as if they were engaged in an affectionate love poem recitation, alternating the lyrics and repeating the lyrics.
"If you want to talk about what love is
It must be gossiping with you when you are in turmoil
Walk with you on an endless journey
Even when the sky is white and white, it is also young in love
I don't believe that the sky is no longer old and out of place
I hugged you more than once, and I loved you more."
This song is said to be a song written by the groom who fell in love with him and improvised lyrics. To be able to write such an affectionate confession, Li Sheng is really ashamed of countless students of the Chinese Department!" After the deep affection just now, Chen Baixiang now suddenly changed to a relaxed tone and humorously laughed at Li Xuan.
"That's right, if I'm a bride, I must be willing!" Shen Dianxia said with a look.
"Fat Sister, there is a saying that a talented man is a beautiful woman! Li Sheng is a jade tree in the wind, young and golden, you are still one hundred and fifty pounds away from sinking fish and geese, and closing the moon and shy flowers!" Zheng Danrui suddenly answered very venomously, which immediately caused a burst of laughter in the banquet hall.
Shen Dianxia made an angry look, pretending to be about to step forward to chase Zheng Danrui, but the other two hurriedly dissuaded her.
"In fact, in every girl's heart, she hopes that there will be a prince who comes on a white horse, he is graceful and graceful, and the jade tree is in the wind!" Mi Yu showed a shy look, "Where is the prince charming tonight?"
As soon as Mi Yan's words fell, a beam of light scorched on the corner of the stage. Li Xuan was wearing a white suit, a white bow tie, and a bouquet of white roses symbolizing pure love.
"Li Sheng, you only knew that you were very good at starting a company, but it turns out that you are also so good at writing songs! Is Huang Zhan here? I don't like his songs like "Shanghai Beach" and "Xiao Li Flying Knife" the most, or Li Sheng, you can also write me a song, so that when my autumn official marries me in the future, he can sing it to me himself!" As soon as Shen Dianxia saw Li Xuan, she immediately trotted forward and said, causing laughter from the scene. (To be continued......)
