Chapter 1561: The Banquet Begins
As time went on, and after the gangsters* in the United States were gradually settled, reporters began to gather here in stadiums to get some inside information in advance.
Any inside information? No. For Lao Mei, there is really nothing worth making news about this place, Jennifer and Bai Lu have not appeared in the past few days, and it is difficult to take pictures secretly.
But for the Chinese people, there are more interesting things.
Some reporters couldn't catch up with the news about Bailu, but got the fact that Koreans borrowed the venue next to them and prepared to hold a dinner party back to the website, so it became lively, and the Internet once again set off a wave of angry scolding Koreans.
In this wave, the leaders who were interested in encouraging Baero to co-organize activities with the Koreans did not say much, as if many of the phone calls they had made before were just air, just illusions, and completely devoid of zài.
One day later, He Shanqing and Liu Wenqing rushed to the United States.
As soon as He Shanqing met, he said: "Lao Fu's condition is a little wrong. ”
Bai Lu asked, "What's the situation?"
"Anyway, it's very uncomfortable, he doesn't go to the hospital yet. He Shanqing sighed: "He wanted to be carried to the hospital in a coma." ”
This time when I came to the United States, Gao Yuan and the legendary girl needless to say, even Lin Zi and Xiao Qi didn't come, only Ma Zhan, He Shanqing, Duck, and Sima Zhi came over.
Hearing that Fu Chuanzong's condition was worsening, Bai Lu sighed secretly, but unfortunately I am not a doctor.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "What about the swallows?"
"Don't ask me, Swallow. He Shanqing said.
"That's right. Bai Lu smiled.
Zheng Yanzi lives in the standard world dormitory area, so she should ask Yang Ling.
Sasha and Huahua are in good condition, and they act as a translator and tour guide with full happiness, encouraging them to go where to play. Shasha's answer was that he didn't have time and wanted to go back to school.
When he saw Bai Lu, Sha Sha said, "Our teacher said that you just don't do your job, and you often skip class with us." ”
Bai Lu said: "I'm not doing my job. ”
Yang Ling said: "You are very unprofessional, and you don't even go to the invitation of Michelin." ”
Bai Lu smiled and didn't speak.
Because everyone finally arrived, everyone chartered a Chinese restaurant and drank to celebrate.
When that day passes, November 28 will come. On this day, the Michelin Red Guide released a new edition of the Asian edition, which includes the Tokyo version and the Hong Kong version.
Hong Kong and the United States have different times, and the specific time of the press conference will not be the same. Just talking about the date, this day is finally waiting for Mr. Bai Da's Chinese dinner: understanding Chinese food.
The original intention was to understand Chinese food, but who would have thought that it would take almost an hour to toss at the opening of just one scene, mainly because there were too many celebrities and rich people.
At that time, there were 770 guests, and Liv added 7 more people to make 777, which means that it means winning the jackpot.
The dinner time is from 6 to 9 o'clock, and most of the guests arrive half an hour to an hour in advance.
As a sign of respect, everyone is dressed in formal attire.
When the invitation was sent, Liv didn't ask for anything to wear, as if in Japan, the guests were dressed in casual clothes. But this time is different, although Liv didn't make a clothing requirement, but more than 700 elites in various fields got together, who dared to wear jeans?
Because it's a dinner party, and there are some private parties, there is no sign-in wall, not even a sign-in book, anyway, the invitation is sent out, you love to come or not.
But although there is no check-in procedure, there is a red carpet on the way from the street entrance to the main gate of the stadium, giving everyone the opportunity to show themselves to the media.
It is precisely because of this opportunity to display that everyone knows how powerful the guests who come are.
Not only the stars are shining, but also celebrities from all walks of life, and several wealthy people have arrived.
Fortunately, everyone is very low-key, and after getting off the bus, they mostly walk forward with their heads held high and walk directly into the venue, saving a lot of time. When asked by a reporter, he will smile and wave his hand, or say a word, but he will never stay too long.
Seats open at 6 p.m., and guests enter from 5:10 p.m. The first to come were columnists and well-known media personalities. At today's banquet, they are like part-time journalists, trying to record all the qiē.
Some of them are very familiar with the journalists, and they will greet each other with a smile, one to show closeness, the other to show vanity, to show difference, you see, I am invited to dine, and you can only wait outside.
Other guests are foodies, food writers, famous chefs, and food show hosts...... These people are all related to food, and in the world of foodies, these people are the protagonists.
However, for ordinary people, most of these people are strangers, and they don't know each other, and the reporters waiting outside won't ask too many questions.
At half past five, the reporters finally waited for the hot person, Dani actually arrived half an hour early, and was photographed by many reporters as soon as she got out of the car, whether Chinese or American reporters, they all knew that she was very popular.
However, in the end, it is the new red star, and Chinese journalists are not very interested. Fortunately, the next person was Yuan Long, and domestic reporters became interested.
Yuanlong, like Dani, responds with a smile and doesn't stay long.
Starting from the two of them, many stars came one after another, such as Julie, Winton and others. There are also several New York sports stars, and the Chinese are familiar with basketball stars. In addition to playing basketball, there are also those who play football and professional baseball.
These people are regulars in all kinds of fashionable duì and become the center of attention every time they appear.
In addition to celebrities, there are also many talents in the financial circle...... Especially after the arrival of several wealthy people that Bai Lu had seen that day, the style of the whole banquet was instantly raised to a higher level.
These people are really rich, so to speak, they buy the team if they want to buy the team, and they can support whoever they want to release records, they usually have their own circles, they rarely appear in public, and they rarely attend parties with so many people, but they just came, and not one, there were eight people in total.
Lao Mei's newspapers not only catch all kinds of news about celebrities, but also rich people can't escape the pursuit of the paparazzi, and those reporters are very familiar with these characters, and they are all taken aback when they suddenly see several big people coming.
There are more than 700 people in total, and all of them entered the venue in less than an hour, which can be said to be absolutely efficient, and no one dragged out time, and there was no so-called blanket star grinding and wasting other people's time. Including the supermodels who were invited later.
There are a lot of big girls, all dressed ordinary, and they are also trying to look as low-key as possible. They are smart enough to know that when you go to a party like this, when there are countless cameras and camcorders to shoot you, no matter what you wear, no matter what posture you have, as long as you show up, you will definitely be photographed, and there will be publicity opportunities. As for whether you can be in the news or not, it depends on how well-known you are.
Compared to what they wear on stage, these supermodels are wearing very ordinary clothes today, although they are formal clothes, but there are many types of formal clothes. Just wear a skirt that is as dignified and generous as possible, or a suit, you don't have to be as exaggerated as a peacock.
Not only are they like this, but all the female stars who came before are like this, none of them are exaggerated, even if they are skirts, they don't wear that kind of evening dress,
Everyone is trying to show that they are low-key, but everyone knows that being able to participate in such a banquet is not low-key. At this time, low-key is high-key.
Everyone is trying to keep a low profile, but Chinese and foreign reporters are tired, especially Chinese reporters are not very familiar with some characters, and they have to check information while taking pictures, and by the way, they are surprised by Bai Lu's energy, this guy is so good in the United States? There is no government at all, and he can invite so many celebrities with his own strength?
Well, there will always be people who will help, but even if there are people who help, it is amazing to be able to invite so many important people. Some nimble minds are exclaiming: What a great opportunity to get a business card! What a lot of high-quality potential customers!
After reading the complete guest list, not only the reporter was surprised, but even the guests were a little surprised. Most people just know that the rich Liv invited some guests to eat the food cooked by the star Bai Lu, and they also know that they will invite many important guests. But when everyone met, they realized how powerful this guest list was.
Of course, no matter how good the invitation is, no matter how strong the guest list, there will always be guests who are not appreciative. Liv sent out a total of 777 invitations, and the actual guests present were 720, which means that 57 people did not give Liv face, and they did not look down on the food cooked by Chinese stars.
But the seven hundred and twenty people were enough to surprise people, such as Bai Lu, who stood at the main entrance of the hall when the guests entered, dressed in a black suit, and smiled at everyone who came. Next to him was Jennifer, the translator.
Because the table has not yet opened, the venue is still a little noisy, and many guests passing by here will drag Jennifer and Bai Lu to take selfies.
Now this is a free world, the guests enter the free year, nod and say hello when they meet, go inside to say hello to the host, and then go inside, it is a little lively......
Many people are surprised by the decoration style inside, the reason why they are surprised, is really too what, at best it is said that it has a personality, and at worst it is too tasteless, what is this, a piece of green, from the sky to the ground, into such a world...... Well, don't dwell on these questions, let's enjoy Chinese food.
Mr. Bai Da also has a wide range of friends, and he actually knows many people, such as the gourmand Hans, who went in with two people who were dressed in the same clothes, and said as soon as they met: "I dare not go to the invitation of Michelin, how can there be a cook like you." ”
It is no exaggeration to say that being featured in the Michelin Guide is definitely one of the most desirable things for chefs, and it is also one of the highest honors. But Bai Lu just didn't care.
Throughout the entrance event, Bai Lu stood at the door, as if he was the most courteous and hospitable host, welcoming every guest.
The guests are from all walks of life, and the achievements are also different, for example, some people only write columns in the newspaper, and some people are well-known program hosts in the country, the difference between the two is too great, but Bai Lu is equally polite to everyone.
Among the guests, in addition to celebrities, rich people, professional elites, etc., there are also politicians, four city councilors, two congressmen, mayors, piggybackers, Chinese embassy also came, in addition to Director Wang, there was also a counselor, which is considered a big cadre. R1152
