After the audition, Shi Daya happily announced that he would invite all the crew to dinner at the nearby Mediya Hotel. Suddenly, the whole crew was thunderous and cohesive.

Dinner parties are the fastest way to bond with each other. It is also the most effective means to boost team morale in addition to bonuses.

What's more, the dinner venue is still at the Media Hotel, which is the hotel with the most delicious dishes on the East Third Ring Road. Of course, the extremely wonderful taste is matched by the extremely high price, and the plum sprouts are known as the most expensive hotels in the eastern part of the capital.

A plate of shredded potatoes costs more than 50 Huaxia coins, even in the capital in 04, it can be called sky-high.

The crew and staff are reluctant to go there to consume once, but today they can go to have a feast with the director's light, and they are naturally elated. It seems that Director Shi is really excited, ready to bleed heavily, and this meal will cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.

Sun Yusheng naturally won't participate, if he participates in the activities of every crew, even if he can split him in half, there is not enough time. But the leader is the leader, with a wave of his hand in the atmosphere, the company will reimburse the cost of the lunch dinner, which can be regarded as a celebration of the successful selection of the protagonist by the crew of "Latent", which naturally won countless whiskers and horses.

No wonder so many people sharpen their heads and climb up, this kind of feeling of power and money in hand, ordering the law to follow, and hugging back and forth is really cool.

The whole crew chartered a medium-sized banquet hall. Although it is still in the early stage of selecting roles, and many staff members who are only needed in the later stage have not yet joined the crew, there are still 85 people in the whole crew.

After filming starts, the number of people will skyrocket to more than 200, and some large crews will reach three or four hundred. Even those crews that produce on a small budget will not have less than 150 people, otherwise they will not be able to operate normally.

There are nine tables in the hall, and it is the field service that orders food. After the crew starts filming, he will automatically become the production director, which means that the crew's money in the future is basically in his hands. This is the future God of Wealth, and he can't be offended. Seeing him greet abalone, sea cucumber, and lobster boldly, you know that he didn't interrupt his hand.

Meng Fanzhu secretly estimated that even if he only drank beer, he would not eat less than 100,000 yuan for this meal. I can't help but stagger, I still want to invest in a few film and television dramas in the future, if it is all this kind of expense, it is not enough to sell myself.

Uncle Big Tooth really escaped the catastrophe, and he has to be persuaded not to make random wishes when he is excited in the future. is a big director anyway, and he has to think about whether he can bear the consequences in advance.

This time, if Sun Yusheng hadn't seen him as a closed disciple of Old Wen, how could he be so righteous to clean up Uncle Daya's hands. You must know that even if it is the owner of a central enterprise with a registered capital of hundreds of millions, the flexible funds in charge of others are also numerous, and it is better to use it yourself.

Besides, the crew of "Latent" was busy choosing a leading role in the morning, but the noon celebration cost a car at once, what will other crews think? All kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred will arise spontaneously. Even if you don't say it to your face, you will definitely talk about it behind your back. Especially under the CCTV system, how terrible people's words are, isn't this causing trouble for yourself for no reason!

So low-key is king, silence is golden.

Of course, the soldiers don't have to think about it so much, of course, it won't help to think too much, and it will definitely not be their turn to be promoted and rich. These people usually think more openly, today coincides with a happy event for the crew, and the leader is not there, so they still eat and drink at public expense. The crew members were naturally not polite, and the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall was extremely warm.

All of them are old oilers who have been rolling in the entertainment industry for many years, how can they miss such a good opportunity to make friends and pull in feelings.

So there was an endless stream of crew members who came to toast Shi Daya in a group of threes, groups of three, and a table. Of course, it is impossible to let go of a promising young screenwriter like Meng Fanzhu and a powerful actor like Sun Honglei.

It can be expected that these three people will definitely soar in the future, handle the relationship well now, and have something to talk about in the future.

The future production director is called Nie Hongliang, a person who has been in the film and television industry for more than 20 years. The vision is quite mixed, and there is a little bit of any relationship and doorway, and he is also a figure that should not be underestimated.

At this time, his chubby round face was full of red light, and he excitedly pulled Meng Fanzhu to thank him, and he almost set up the incense burner to worship the handle.

Today he is the big winner, and the big contributor to this result is naturally Meng Fanzhu. didn't say it, Meng Fanzhu must be accompanied at noon. So Director Shi took the lead, Meng Fanzhu, Sun Honglei, and Nie Hongliang sat in order, which is also the core member of the crew.

When I met Sun Honglei in my dream, Meng Fanzhu was already 40 years old, and Sun Honglei was 16 years older than him. Everyone has reached the age of paying attention to health, so they have never drunk alcohol, and I don't know how much he drinks. Now sitting at the wine table, Meng Fanzhu found that Sun Honglei's alcohol consumption is not an exaggeration to describe it as bottomless.

At the beginning, Sun Honglei politely toasted a glass to each person at the main table, and especially thanked Director Shi, Meng Fanzhu and Nie Hongliang for taking care of him. Then I sat happily and listened to everyone chatting and drinking with them. If there is a toast, it is also the one who comes, and he will do it with a cup, and he will not say much about any false politeness, just one sentence: You can speak if you have something.

Meng Fanzhu roughly counted that within half an hour, Sun Honglei had already dried 7 bottles of beer. If it weren't for the system to improve his physique, he could only look up to this kind of Dionysian-level character.

But at this time and that time, my current alcohol consumption is not small, so let's have a good drink with Brother Honglei in the real world, and make up for the regrets in my dreams.

"Fanzhu, where are you from?" The two of them drank until the glass was dry, and they fell in love, Sun Honglei couldn't help but ask.

"Songjiang, Long Province, our fellow countrymen. Meng Fanzhu replied casually, in the dream, the two of them gradually became good friends after meeting at Master Gao's house because of their fellow countrymen.

"I say, why are we so temperamental. I always have the feeling that we have known each other for a long time, come, go again. Sun Honglei was so happy that his little eyes narrowed into a slit, I have to say that although a man like him is not handsome, his charm is endless, especially the audience is so good.

"Okay, I'll give Brother Sun another drink, and Brother Nie will also accompany him. Meng Fanzhu naturally happily accompanies him, happy in his heart, we have known each other for more than 30 years.

Pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the two of them did not fight for wine, with Sun Honglei's loyal character, he naturally would not force anyone to drink. Meng Fanzhu is not a strong person, so the two of them are chatting and drinking, but the rhythm of raising a glass is indeed amazingly the same. Nie Hongliang gradually couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and the two of them didn't rush him, everyone just drank as much as they wanted.

Seeing that the three of them were drinking lively, Shi Daya, the big director, also participated after going out to salute and came back. Cultivate feelings with the protagonist, so as to facilitate the smooth development of future filming work.

Shi Dao, who is known as a veteran of the wine country, has countless wine bureaus on weekdays, and he likes to pour himself two bottles when he has nothing to do. Often called himself the king of beer. So as soon as they came, they frequently raised their glasses, and the three of them naturally followed closely.

Sun Honglei is a little flattered, and his status as a director in the film and television industry is at the top of the pyramid. It has always been an actor who stammers with the director, and today Director Shi took the initiative to toast himself, we have to carry this face. After a sip of dryness, it is natural to return the salute, Meng Fanzhu and Nie Hongliang accompanied the wine on the side, and the four of them were staggered, and they were arrogant for a while.

But in less than half an hour, Director Shi found an excuse to 'take care of colleagues at other tables' and went to other tables to hang out. If you don't run, you can't do it, I've already made enough energy, but I'm also drinking too fast. Didn't you see that Nie Hongliang's eyes were already straight, and he was panting vigorously.

Sun Honglei and his eldest nephew are simply drunken maniacs, a glass of beer does not stay in the mouth at all, and pours it directly into the throat.

Wine is less than a thousand cups of confidants, this sentence is very suitable for Sun Honglei, but for Meng Fanzhu, it is a reunion of old friends.

The two of them have gradually been filled with wine bottles, no less than thirty or forty bottles by visual inspection alone, and this is still two waves of waiters have withdrawn, and it is conservatively estimated that there are more than 100 bottles.

The bustling banquet hall gradually quieted down, except for a few who had drunk too much and fell asleep on the table, everyone else watched in amazement as the two of them drank.

Sun Honglei is also very happy today, he originally helped Nie Hongliang save the scene, but he ended up getting a protagonist, and he is still the protagonist of CCTV's core TV series. It is conceivable that after the start of the broadcast at the beginning of next year, CCTV 1 and 8 will have their own appearance on the screen every night. It's a channel with 900 million viewers, and it's exciting to think about.

This opportunity must be grasped well, especially Director Shi and Meng Fanzhu, two friends who are both bold and talented, Sun Honglei seems to see a straight avenue of stars unfolding under his feet.

Good people will be rewarded in the end, and those who help others will always help them!

At the end of the luncheon, Sun Honglei, who was still unsatisfied at the door of the hotel, asked Meng Fanzhu to have a drink next time, and then asked his assistant to drive Nie Hongliang, who had drunk too much, into the car. After Meng Fanzhu nodded in agreement, he helped Director Shi Da, who had just vomited and was already dizzy, to his car.

At this time, a person drove over, Meng Fanzhu had an impression of him, and saw him once on the set.

"Screenwriter Meng, just give it to me as Director Shi, I'm his assistant, and I usually send him home when he's drunk. The assistant smiled humbly.

Meng Fanzhu really didn't know where Uncle Daya's house lived, and originally planned to take him back to his courtyard, but when he heard the assistant say this, he lowered his head and stroked Shi Daya's back and asked, "Uncle Shi, your assistant will send you home, okay?"

"Uh-huh~" Shi Daya was already drunk and almost unconscious, and hummed indiscriminately.

The assistant took Shi Daya and helped him into the car, then trotted two steps, got into the car and galloped away.
