Chapter 90: Spring Tea

Commonly known as the New Year's party, Chinese-funded companies at this time have become popular, and Hong Kong is called "Spring Tea".

Spring tea, that is, the meaning of gathering together to drink tea during the Spring Festival. Up to now, it has developed into a dinner, that is, the company's reunion dinner.

The company's reunion dinner is usually eaten after the Spring Festival, and in addition to the participation of all employees of the company, representatives who have business dealings with the company will also be invited to participate. The boss of the company takes the opportunity of the spring tea to reward the employees who have worked hard for a year on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also thanks the cooperative units, so the companies attach great importance to the annual spring tea.

However, there is still a habit in Hong Kong, film and television entertainment organizations generally hold spring dinners on the first, second and third days of the Lunar New Year, such as TVB, ATV, radio, Golden Harvest, New Art City, etc. The spring tea is very grand, and all its artists have to attend, unless they are lame and can't move, otherwise they will shake even if they are sick. sang familiar New Year's songs one after another, showed off in front of reporters and media, and exchanged feelings with visitors from all over the world and the company's management.

The common picture is a group of celebrities begging for red envelopes around the boss, and there is about a 10 yuan banknote inside. On the contrary, a brother and a sister in the company, and big-name artists are more generous, and the profits that are usually distributed to reporters are 100 yuan. Therefore, the Chinese New Year is also the happiest time for media reporters, who are happy to rush back and forth in different companies and make a lot of money.

At this time, Zhang Shaoping received no less than ten invitations to the Spring Tea, TVB, ATV, Golden Harvest, New Art City, Radio Television Hong Kong, Yindu Organization...... All of them are well-known film and television entertainment companies. After receiving so many invitations, Zhang Shaoping held it in his hand and felt hot.

Where to go and where not to go is a headache.

For example, TVB and ATV both chose to have a reunion dinner on the first day of the new year, while Hong Kong has two TV stations, in order to compete for ratings, the two TV stations are definitely on the bar. Another example is Golden Harvest, New Arts City, and Radio Television Hong Kong, the three of them are elected on the second day of the Lunar New Year, which is also a dragon fight. On the third day of junior high school, several film institutions such as Yindu Organization, Siyuan, and Golden Princess chose this day.

Film and television institutions are very special, what they eat is the meal of the media, how many people support the party, how big the banquet is, how many big stars, how many big directors...... These are all things that the media is interested in. There are fewer people, no big takes, and the scene is deserted, which is definitely a loss of points and face, so what Spring Tea fights, just fight this!

"Why are you sitting dumbfounded?"

The footsteps sounded, the fragrance hit, Mi Xue gracefully walked to Zhang Shaoping's side, and asked in a coquettish voice.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Zhou's mother took Zhou Huimin and Zhang Mengying to Wong Tai Sin Temple in the morning to pray for blessings, along with Chen Feihu's parents.

It is a traditional Chinese custom to go to the temple to pray for blessings in the New Year, among which the incense of Wong Tai Sin Temple is the most prosperous.

And Mi Xue, because she was also invited by many film and television companies for spring dinners, came here early in the morning, saying that she wanted to go with Zhang Shaoping as a companion.

"I'm struggling with these invitations." Zhang Shaoping said honestly.

"What's there to think about here, you can go if you can, and if you can't go, you call someone to go, this is not enough!"

"It's so simple, no one can be offended!" Zhang Shaoping rubbed his temples, tilted his head, and said, "Dragon Girl, come, help me press the massage." ”

"You can do your best to practice me, and serve you as a master!" Michelle glared at Zhang Shaoping coquettishly, but Yiyan stretched out a pair of soft wattles, rubbed his temples for him, and beat his shoulders.

Zhang Shaoping laughed and said: "If you don't serve me, I'll go outside to find a woman to serve, can you rest assured?" ”

"What man in this world doesn't steal?" Mi Xue asked angrily, then put her head on Zhang Shaoping's cheek, and said angrily, "There are two in the family, you can't be too abusive." ”

Tie the knot? Zhang Shaoping hasn't thought about it yet, as for finding a few women, he doesn't have an accurate number, anyway, he is a real villain who is abusive, he can follow if he is willing, and he is not reluctant if he is unwilling. But as long as he is good with himself, if he wants to let go, he will never do it. He is such a person, but he doesn't want to say some sweet words of love and love to deceive Mi Xue, so he only said: "Dragon Girl, I remember all your kindness to me." ”

The two fought for a while, and suddenly heard the phone ringing, Mi Xue went to answer the phone, and came back and said, "Brother Ming is here, just outside the gate, I'll pick him up." ”

A few minutes later.

"Zhang Sheng, Wishing you prosperity!"

"Ah Ping, I'm here to pay New Year's greetings!"

Before anyone arrived, two voices shouted at the same time. Hearing these two voices, Zhang Shaoping suddenly felt a big headache, why did these two guys come together!

"Rare guest!" Zhang Shaoping shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and got up with a smile to show politeness.

There were four people who accompanied Mi Xue in, Xu Xiaoming, Wang Jing, his wife and the eldest queen Tong Yi. The little girl is only three or four years old, and she looks very cute. At this time, she was nestled in Mi Xue's arms, with a pair of dark eyes, looking at Zhang Shaoping smartly and curiously.

"Little sister, she looks so cute, what's her name?" Zhang Shaoping is not a Lolitacon, but when he saw Wang Tongyi, he thought of his little sister and immediately wanted to tease her.

"I won't tell you!" Wang Tongyi pouted and said, "Dad said that you would send me a big profit, but you haven't given it yet." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Wang Jing, and his wife screwed him even more in disgust. Choose! This guy is really greedy for money and crazy, and he actually took the opportunity of the Spring Festival to teach his daughter to ask for profit.

Zhang Shaoping took out a red envelope and shook it in front of the little girl, she immediately stretched out a pair of small hands and shouted happily: "Give me the profit!" ”

"You haven't introduced yourself yet."

The little girl's eyes were glued to the red envelope, and she said quickly, "My name is Wang Tongyi." ”

"Hehe, hey, here you go!"

Stuffing the red envelope into Xiao Wang Tongyi's little hand, the little girl immediately said happily: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

"No, your sister Ying calls me brother, what should you call me?"

"Thank you, brother!"

This girl is really a clever ghost, and immediately turned her mouth and called her brother.

When the housewarming, Zhang Shaoping was in Suicheng, and Wang Jing dragged his family here to eat mixed rice, and Xiao Wang Tongyi played with Zhang Mengying.

After teasing the little one, everyone sat down.

Zhang Shaoping asked directly: "The two of you, why did you come to me together to pay New Year's greetings to me?" ”

Xu Xiaoming rushed to say: "Mr. Wang is here to pay New Year's greetings, and I made a special trip to invite Zhang Sheng to participate in our ATV's spring tea tonight." ”

"Who said I only came to pay New Year's greetings?" Wang Jing quit, but his son Wang Tianlin gave him the important task, which was to pull Zhang Shaoping to the wireless spring tea, "I also came to invite Ah Ping to participate in the spring tea." ”

The two of them made their words clear, and they didn't argue, they only aimed their eyes at Zhang Shaoping and asked him to make a decision.

It's the most damn thing! The two of them coincidentally arrived at the same time, and no matter which one they promised or which one they refused, it was not a matter. Refuse both, or send a representative to attend? Zhang Shaoping thought about it, but the spring dinner held by each company is also the best occasion to make friends and increase contacts, and he doesn't want to be absent.

didn't think about it, Zhang Shaoping had already decided, if he chose one of the two, of course, he would go to the wireless TV station known as the "Star Shaolin Temple". He had already made a decision in his heart, but Zhang Shaoping would not blurt it out stupidly, but pretended to think about it for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Aren't you two embarrassing me?" ”

When Xu Xiaoming and Wang Jing heard this, they both laughed and said nothing.

Zhang Shaoping said slowly: "In terms of business dealings between us, your two TV stations are indistinguishable, but when it comes to private friendship, I have a good relationship with Wang Fatzi, and I can only accompany him!" Mr. Xu, do you think this is okay, the dragon girl also received two invitations, she won't go to wireless, she will go to ATV with you. ”

Xu Xiaoming was slandered, Mi Xue had a deep friendship with him, and he had more connections with ATV, even if he chose one of the two, he would definitely go to ATV. They both knew about it, but they couldn't find it, Xu Xiaoming had no choice but to say against his will: "Isn't Hui Ling representing Zhang Sheng, I'm very happy that she can go." ”

In fact, when he saw Wang Jing, Xu Xiaoming knew that the chance of inviting Zhang Shaoping was not very high, and he was not very disappointed when he heard Zhang Shaoping's clear reply.

......

It is said that it is TVB's spring dinner party, but it is actually the New Year's party of TVB, Shaw Brothers Pictures and Shaw Brothers Cinemas. Shao Tycoon Shao Tycoon Shao was generous once, and chartered two entire halls and 100 tables for a banquet at the Regal Oriental Hotel in Kowloon City. In addition to the internal staff of the three companies, there were also many guests.

Zhang Shaoping was puzzled and asked Wang Jing: "The three major companies of Shaw Brothers jointly held a spring dinner, so many people, is there not enough for more than 1,000 people?" Do you still need to pull people around? ”

Wang Fatzi glanced around and found that there was no one, so he said in a low voice: "You know "Interstellar Blunt Tire", which invested nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and it was screened last night, and it hit the street. The sixth uncle was almost mad, he held a banquet tonight, just wanted to lose people without losing the battle, and convey a message to the outside world, with him, the Shaw Brothers would not collapse. ”

"Interstellar Blunt Tire" is said to be a super strange science fiction film......

During this Spring Festival, New Art City's "Best Partner: The Great Miracle", Golden Harvest's "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" and Shaw Brothers' "Interstellar Blunt Tire" were released one after another. These three films are all known as big productions, and the lowest one has invested 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and the most money-burning "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" costs 20 million.

The three films were launched at the same time, and there was no intention of fighting in the ring.

According to the seating arrangement, Zhang Shaoping was seated with entrepreneurs and other businessmen. Zhang Shaopingfu sat down, which made the people at the table look sideways, he was too young, and anyone present was at least one round older than him in terms of age. A table of people exchanged business cards and introduced their respective businesses, all planning with multiple friends and multiple ways.

"Hehehe, Brother Zhang, don't keep thinking about getting to know those wealthy children, they will leave the table after waiting for a toast, they will not stay and deal with us. There are more than 1,000 people at this spring dinner, and everyone wants to climb the high branches and get to know them, can they get out of it if they stay? Seeing Zhang Shaoping staring at the two tables in front of him from time to time, a man sitting next to him couldn't help but smile and said.

This man is in his early forties, his name is Zheng Shengyun, he is in the film and television props business, and he has business dealings with major film and television institutions.

"Who's that woman?"

Zheng Shengyun followed Zhang Shaoping's gaze, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Oh, that's the daughter of the gambling king of Macau, I don't know what Fang's name is." What, Brother Zhang is interested in this woman? With your ability, you are worthy of her, but the competition is also big, and the people you want to challenge may have to be lined up from Victoria Harbour to the New Territories. ”

Zhang Shaoping smiled and remained silent, neither admitting nor denying it. The first two or three tables were all the daughters of wealthy families in Hong Kong and Macao, and the older generation generally did not attend such occasions, so they were replaced by their children and grandchildren.

is really as Zheng Shengyun said, when the two tables were halfway through the meal, they toasted Shao Daheng and left, which disappointed those who were willing to make friends. Zhang Shaoping is not discouraged, he came here mainly to make some friends in the business field, and to see if he can "discover" a few future famous directors and stars who have not developed and become famous, and he can poach them with indicators in the future.

When it was time for free activities, Zhang Shaoping, Zheng Shengyun and others looked at each other and smiled, and they all got up, holding wine glasses, and messing around. Huang Zhan, Gu Jiahui, Chen Shuying, Du Qifeng, Liu Weiqiang, Wei Jiahui, Liu Dehua...... If he didn't see anyone, Zhang Shaoping would talk to him for a few words, hand him a business card, and rub his face familiarly.

Zhang Shaoping found a benefit, after his affairs were repeatedly hyped by the media during this time, these people actually knew that there was a person like him, so it was a lot easier to deal with him. During this period, I also met many acquaintances, Zhou Yanfa, Wang Mingquan, Zhang Yurong, Luo Wen, and even Zhao Yazhi from Taiwan. b. Returned.

Zhou Yunfa and Chen Yulian seem to have broken up completely, and the two seem to be strangers, each taking care of each other, and they are far apart. Zhang Shaoping talked with Zhao Yazhi for a while, and found that she looked much better. b. Rested well. Seeing that Fat Shen Dingxia came to find Zhao Yazhi, Zhang Shaoping smiled and turned around and walked towards Chen Yulian.

Chen Yulian has never been a drinker, but she was depressed in her heart and had nowhere to tell, so she drank one glass of wine after another, using wine to drown her sorrows. As soon as he finished drinking a glass of wine, he stretched out his slender hand and wanted to pour it again, but he was suddenly held down by a big hand, and a man's voice came from his mouth: "Drinking can't solve your worries!" ”

"It's you!" Chen Yulian said angrily, "I can drink if I like it, I want you to take care of it!" ”

"I don't care about you, who cares about you? If you do this to yourself, who will have mercy on you? Zhang Shaoping unceremoniously grabbed her pair of soft wattles and whispered, "Don't move!" There are so many reporters! ”

Chen Yulian was ashamed and angry, and her cheeks were already red after drinking a lot of wine, and now she was even more delicate. She struggled lightly, and when she saw Zhang Shaoping holding on to it, she didn't dare to move.

At this time, the drama of "Hua Dan" and "Xiaosheng" of TVB was being staged on the stage, wishing a good start to the year.

Zhang Shaoping swept around, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were all on this, he lowered his head and pressed Chen Yulian's sideburns, and said "affectionately": "Sister Lian, you know, when I first saw you, I fell in love with you deeply!" No, it should be a real person who hasn't seen you yet, just after seeing your poster, I can't help myself, and I vow to work hard to make money and be a person worthy of you. You used to be Zhou Yanfa's girlfriend, I don't dare to expect it, I can only bless you silently, and never intend to destroy the relationship between you...... But now you're not, give me a chance! ”

Chen Yulian listened to Zhang Shaoping's affectionate confession, and was somewhat touched, her heart was like a deer, and she was beating thumping.
