Chapter 96: Ear and sideburns grinding
Julia had to put on makeup and do her hair in advance, and she chatted with Xiao Yang for a while before leaving first, and he waited until the urgent dress was out before going to the Hilton Hotel with Brian Newman, the broker who had come to meet him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There is still more than half an hour before the official start of the banquet, and the hotel is already crowded with people, although out of respect for the affected people, the organizers do not want to label the dinner party as overly entertaining, but the invited people are all well-known figures in the film and television entertainment industry, how can they stop the media reporters?
Think about it from another angle, although the people attending the banquet tonight are all rich people, but whose money is not blown by the wind, isn't the purpose of people taking money out for charity, just to make a show in front of the media and the camera, and gain a good reputation?
For this reason, such a dinner party under the banner of charity has inevitably become a social place for male stars to show off their wealth and female stars to fight for research, which has been fully verified from the scenery in the parking lot, sandwiched between a limited edition or customized version of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley and other luxury cars, Xiao Yang's M5 is as inconspicuous as an ugly duckling.
Of course, gold shines everywhere, don't look at the fact that due to race and skin color, Xiao Yang's face is not familiar to the general public, but in the eyes of entertainment reporters, his popularity is no weaker than that of first-line film and television stars.
Brian, who was planning to take the opportunity to expand his contacts for him, naturally welcomed this, but in the case of favoritism, it was inevitable that some people would be dissatisfied with this, such as the young men who happened to enter the lobby in front of Xiao Yang and were interviewed by reporters.
Speaking of which, these people are not nobodies, if Xiao Yang, who is being surrounded by reporters, can take the time to take a glance, it should not be difficult to recognize the one who is similar to his height, it is Matt Damon, who won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay and Best Actor nomination for the two awards for "Soul Catcher", and the later "Spy" series made him fame and fortune, of course, except for Xiao Yang, the reporters present and even himself could not know his future achievements, So for the current media, he is just a marginal character with outstanding talent but poor opportunities, and can only run tricks in various film and television dramas.
The handsome guy next to him is even more amazing, it is George Clooney, who is known as the "heartthrob", but like Matt Damon, he has not yet entered the peak of his career, although a handsome and angry face has won him a lot of praise and attention, but compared to Hollywood, which is king in popularity, he is just a newcomer who has just participated in a few TV series that are not very popular.
Compared with the two friends in the circle, Jim Carrey, who has just become famous for a "Detective Plane Head", is undoubtedly much luckier, but his exaggerated and grotesque funny style has been mixed in the media and fans, and it is inevitable that people will compare it with the humorous and witty performance style of the film master Chaplin, among which there are many negative comments such as "deliberately unconventional and sensational", and he also has a long way to go if he wants to be accepted and loved by more people.
noticed that many reporters hurriedly confessed and didn't even say hello to the door, they thought it was a big-name star who arrived, but at a glance, the reporters were surrounded by a much younger Asian young man who was not amazing, and when I looked closely, I recognized that it was Xiao Yang, the prophet who has been in the limelight recently, Jim Carrey and Matt Damon's personalities are more open-minded, just laughed at it, but George Clooney, who is narrow-minded, is quite resentful, However, if he is not angry, he is not as famous as others, and he can't do anything to others, after all, the most important thing in Hollywood is second-rate stars like them, and there is only one prophet, and the principle of scarcity is expensive applies wherever it is placed.
Xiao Yang, who was surrounded by reporters and bombarded wildly, had no time or mind to figure out the feelings of others, but fortunately, the Schwarzeneggers who arrived later helped him share more than half of the pressure, and he was escorted by Brian to get out of the encirclement, and when he just walked to the door of the banquet hall, he was blocked by several little girls wearing "Eagle Scout" badges and holding candy boxes, "Sir, let's have a few pieces of candy?" ”
After listening to Julia's introduction of the general process in advance, and knowing that these frighteningly expensive candies were also part of the charity donation, Xiao Yang exchanged the specially prepared cash for a few chocolates from them, and gave them to Brian, who has children.
Among the celebrities and celebrities present tonight, more than half of them brought their wives (husbands) or friends to attend, and some of them were accompanied by economists like Xiao Yang, and Judy, who was inconvenient to bring gays and lesbians to appear together, and Julia, who had just returned to singleness, were naturally no exception.
Organizing a similar dinner are well-informed and intelligent hosts, knowing that these people have a lot of friendship, the organizer specially arranged their seats together, the standard 8-person round platform, including three economists but only 6 people sit, the other two empty seats are convenient for guests to cross tables with each other, Brian is right, this kind of occasion is originally for everyone to communicate with each other, expand one of the platforms for networking.
Before the dinner officially began, and the banquet hosts and auctioneers were not in place, the guests who arrived first chatted with their acquaintances and relatives, although everyone consciously lowered the volume so as not to affect others, but the whispering of hundreds of people still rendered the huge banquet hall as lively as a vegetable market, so that Xiao Yang and Julia had to put their lips to each other's ears when they spoke.
Pretending not to see the two of them, Brian, who was sitting across from them, was close to Judy's broker Joe Vanisiro, Julia's broker and they didn't belong to the same company, but as peers, they would not lack common topics.
In other words, a big-name broker like Vannisillo, who earns millions a year, disdains to manage a junior partner, but with the light of his client's meteoric soaring fame like a rocket, Brian's fame and voice within the company have also risen with the tide, and he can no longer be regarded as air as before.
(During the holidays, I caught up with the children's holiday, and was dragged out by my wife to play for two days, but there was no way, by the way, I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival, although it was a little late.) )
