Chapter 419: Birthday Party (2nd Update)
In one corner of the hall, there was a piano with the luthier in place, and a band next to it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The music played slowly, and the atmosphere in the hall seemed to be very warm, but it was not noisy.
There is a high platform in the north, which was built temporarily, and it is only half a meter high, Fang Hao and his family stand on the high platform together, with a microphone in front.
He stepped forward and thanked the guests below: "Thank you for coming, I prepared a little banquet just now, I don't know if you are satisfied with the meal?" ā
"Satisfied."
The guests below responded.
Fang Hao had curly hair, hanging down on his ears, looking kind, he brought his daughter and son-in-law, as well as his wife and son, stepped forward together, and said with a smile: "Here, I want to thank you for coming, next, the ball will officially begin, before that, I have one more thing to announce, I think many people have guessed, my team and I have been preparing to start filming "Fengyun 7", the candidates for the relevant roles, I haven't finished yet, but I believe that many of you present are celebrities in our film and television industry, with first-class acting skills, In addition, I have good news to announce that our sponsor this time is fortunate to have found the Feilong Group, and Chairman Lu Tingshan has already agreed to my request-"
Suddenly, a young, uniformed young man walked up to the rostrum and whispered a few words in Fang Hao's ear.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just got the news that two VIPs are visiting now, I want to go out to greet you, please be calm, the dance will be postponed for the time being, please forgive me."
Fang Hao's expression was a little excited, and he walked quickly towards the door of the villa with his family.
Suddenly, the guests below were dumbfounded.
They are people, whether they are in the entertainment industry or in the business circle, they are all big names in the ranks, but they have never received such treatment.
Fang Hao is not an ordinary person, he actually went out to greet him, and brought his family with him, it can be seen that the guests must be extraordinary.
For the sake of a guest, so many guests are left aside, which does make many people unhappy, but everyone is not a fool, no one will appear dissatisfied, but everyone is smiling, but when everyone is chatting, they all look at the door with their eyes from time to time.
Obviously, everyone is very curious about the guests who are coming.
Fang Hao took his family to the door of the villa, and when he saw that it was really Zhao Bing, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.
"You're Director Fang Hao, right?" Zhao Bing said with a smile.
Fang Hao said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to come to the cold house, it is really brilliant, I miss the welcome, and I hope to forgive my sins!" ā
"Director Fang is polite, I came uninvited, I didn't dare to come rashly, no, Lingxi said that you take good care of her, and said that you are a person, you are naturally hospitable, so I came cheekily and didn't bring any gifts......"
"Where is it, Zhao can always come, that is to give me Fang Hao's face, as for Yuxi, she was born to be an actor, not to mention, I am just about to start filming Fengyun Seven, and I am going to invite her to be the female number one, I don't know if Yuxi is willing."
Fang Hao is also a mixed figure in the circle, he knows who can be offended, and who needs to be befriended well, such as Zhao Bing, he must please him.
A rich man, he needs the support of this kind of rich man when he makes movies, not to mention, to his extent, he is the most well-informed, he knows too well about Zhao Bing's origins, where he dares to offend.
No, as soon as they met, he threw down the olive branch, thinking that he had always taken care of Yuxi, he was glad in his heart now, he had long known that there was someone behind Yuxi, but he didn't expect that it was Zhao Bing, the big Buddha.
He almost didn't have to think about it, so he proposed to let Yuxi be the female number one, which was naturally also to give Zhao Bing face.
Because Zhao Bing came to his birthday ball, it was also to give him face.
Face is always given to each other.
Yuxi was a little surprised, but she didn't agree immediately, she hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhao Bing.
Zhao Bing thought of something, and said with a smile: "Yuxi is the heroine, of course there is no problem, I thank Director Fang for her kindness, it seems that she didn't lie to me, you really take care of her as a newcomer, however, there is one point, maybe I have to explain it in advance." ā
Fang Hao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. Zhao said that it doesn't matter." ā
"Who is the actor you chose this time?" Zhao Bing asked.
Fang Hao said: "Oh, it's the famous Hong Kong actor Li Xiaochen, his acting skills are first-class, and he has also filmed opposite scenes with Yuxi, and he has always recommended Yuxi to me to be the female number one." By the way, he's also in there, and I'll introduce you to you in a moment. ā
Zhao Bing frowned: "Okay, Director Fang must introduce me to him at that moment, I came here, part of the reason, I also want to get to know this person, it is said that he has always been very attentive to my friend Yuxi, and I heard that he relies on his uncle's reputation, but he has a big temper in the circle, and he doesn't give much face to anyone, and if he is the male number one, I think Yuxi may not agree to play the female number one, Yuxi, right?" ā
Yuxi didn't expect Zhao Bing to be so direct, and before they met, they directly began to write a war letter to Li Xiaochen, and she was a little moved and a little apprehensive in her heart, but when Zhao Bing was asking, she could only nod, her face was slightly red.
Fang Hao's heart moved, as if he understood a little, and he said with some embarrassment: "This-"
"What? Is Director Fang embarrassed? Zhao Bing was a little unhappy.
Fang Hao smiled bitterly: "That's the case, my Fengyun 7 is filming this time, and his uncle intends to become an investor, and this is also a condition put forward by his uncle, you know, doing our business is sometimes very difficult." ā
"Oh, I see, I'm actually very interested in making movies, or if you come to me another day, we can also talk about investment."
Since he wants to do it, Zhao Bing is quite ruthless.
Your uncle is rich, isn't he?
Lao Tzu is also rich!
Do you want to invest?
Then I can invest too!
Sure enough, when Fang Hao heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately changed his words, and said in surprise: "Ah, this is really good, in fact, I have always wanted to find you Zhongsheng International Cooperation, then this matter can be decided." ā
"I can still call the shots for such a trivial matter, right?" Zhao Bing smiled: "However, how about I want our company to make this movie as a sole proprietorship?" ā
When Fang Hao heard this, he was even more happy.
He is too lazy to find investors one by one, with the giant investment of Zhongsheng International, no problem is a problem, and this time he has formed a good fate, maybe he can cooperate next time.
As long as I can make friends with Zhao Bing, from then on, I still have so many ideas and scripts, as well as so many works that I want to shoot but can't shoot, I can realize them one by one.
"Okay, then let's make a decision, as for who the actor is, you are the investor, and you will decide." Fang Hao immediately laughed.
Zhao Bing said: "To be honest, I'm not familiar with the entertainment industry, it's up to you to decide the actor, as long as it's not Li Xiaochen!" ā
"No problem." Fang Hao said with a smile: "Please come in quickly, I will announce this good news to you in a while, you are a distinguished guest, how can you keep standing here and talking to me, you see that I am excited, I have forgotten the etiquette, let's go, please!" ā
Take Zhao Bing back to the hall.
Everyone at the scene had already seen Zhao Bing and Yuxi, and suddenly, everyone was in an uproar.
In addition to the bigwigs, they are celebrities, and they can all be described as public figures.
But compared with Zhao Bing, the richest man in China who has been in the limelight recently, it is really inferior.
And Zhao Bing has never participated in similar activities, this is the first time in his life, everyone is shocked, needless to say.
Among them, the most shocking and surprising are Jiang Yan and Fan Bing.
The faces of the two women changed, becoming extremely ugly, and there was even more shame.
It's just that they quickly regained their composure, as if nothing had happened, and they even stepped forward to greet Zhao Bing, looking very familiar.
This is also for everyone to see, which means to say, look, in fact, I am also very familiar with Mr. Zhao, and I will give me some face in the future.
Regardless of whether others give them face or not, anyway, Zhao Bing is very face-giving them, smiling and chatting with them.
Rejected their invitation this afternoon, but ended up here with Yuxi, and those reasons for resignation became excuses, and they were very pale and weak, which made Zhao Bing feel a little embarrassed in his heart.
"Brother Zhao, didn't you say that you made an appointment to have dinner with someone in the evening?"
"yes, you still say you can't dance!"
Fan Bing and Jiang Yan couldn't take care of the men around them at this time, and they were a little coquettish.
Yuxi was a little embarrassed, her face was red, she stood beside Zhao Bing, holding Zhao Bing's arm.
Zhao Bing explained: "That's the case, I made an appointment with Yuxi to have dinner together in the evening, we have something to discuss, in addition, we wouldn't have come, but then Director Fang came to me and wanted me to invest in making a movie, I thought about it, then let's take a look!" ā
"What, you're going to make a movie?" Fan Bing was stunned for a moment, and immediately said with some surprise: "Is it Fengyun Seven?" ā
Zhao Bing nodded: "Yes, at the door just now, Director Fang and I have already negotiated, and we will invest exclusively in Zhongsheng International." ā
"Brother Zhao is going to enter the film and television industry, that's great, if there is a role suitable for me in the future, don't forget to recommend it." Fan Bing lost no time in saying.
Zhao Bing said with a smile: "I'm just playing tickets, whether I shoot it in the future or not, maybe, if there is a suitable one, I will definitely recommend it, but this kind of thing is determined by Fang Dao, I really can't say anything." ā
A few people were chatting here, and not far away, a certain man was staring at Yuxi, it was none other than the tall and handsome Li Xiaochen.
Li Xiaochen is very famous in the entertainment industry, on the one hand, he has a very good looks, on the other hand, he has a great background, and if you want to talk about acting skills, it is really average, but he has won countless awards.
When Yuxi and Zhao Bing didn't come, he, like Jiang Yan and Fan Bingbing, was the focus of attention, and there was a group of people around him, and there were countless flatterers.
But now it's different, it seems that the people who flattered him before are no longer interested in him, and all of them are focused on Zhao Bing.
Li Xiaochen was very disappointed, very unconvinced, and even a little angry.
He was angry because the woman he had always wanted to get, but had never gotten, stood by Zhao Bing's side.
In his opinion, this is a knife to win love, before that, he didn't think that Yuxi has always hated him, in fact, he has always hated him, maybe he never thought that someone would hate him, even if he felt it, he also felt that it was a woman pretending to be reserved, but it was a means to welcome and refuse.
Because of this, he didn't push the rain too hard, because he felt that it was like a boiled duck that couldn't fly.
But the reality seems to have changed a little, and there are some deviations from what he thought.
He is not a fool, and naturally knows that Zhao Bing is not a figure he can afford to mess with, nor is he a character that his uncle can afford to mess with.
Uncle has no children under his knees, so he treats him as his own, so he has always been very good to him, but if his uncle is asked to choose between him and Zhao Bing, most of them are the latter.
No one wants to offend people like Zhao Bing, and no one has the courage to do so.
Therefore, no matter how unhappy Li Xiaochen was, he controlled his emotions and did not take the initiative to go over to say hello to Yuxi.
He thought that in the near future, he would be filming with Yuxi, and there would be more opportunities at that time.
However, he is a little entangled now, and if he wants to get Yuxi, he will inevitably offend Zhao Bing, which makes him a little overwhelmed.
But what he didn't expect was that the host Fang Hao, who was speaking on stage at this time, suddenly changed his words, ended his thanks to Zhao Bing for coming, and mentioned the next Fengyun Seven movie.
