Chapter 536: Protect Her
"What are you two talking about?" Shen Mengyun asked with a smile.
Luo Bingxue hurriedly changed the topic: "Sister Mengyun, are we still entertaining investors at night?" ”
Shen Mengyun nodded: "This is a procedure that must go!" ”
Immediately after, Shen Mengyun said to Luo Bingxue and me: "By the way, you two hurry up and tidy up, the banquet is about to start!" ”
Without waiting for me to talk back to Luo Bingxue, Shen Mengyun turned around and left, and closed the door with his hand, as if deliberately leaving space for Luo Bingxue and Luo Bingxue.
Seeing Shen Mengyun leaving, Luo Bingxue patted her chest and said to me, "Zhang Nan, what I just said to you, you must not spread it, let alone tell Sister Mengyun." Otherwise, I will definitely be scolded to death by Sister Mengyun! ”
I nodded.
I don't need Luo Bingxue to explain this matter, and I won't tell the outside world.
Luo Bingxue stood up, walked to the makeup mirror, trimmed her eyebrow line, cut her hair, and said to me, "I'm almost there, what about you?" ”
I shrugged my shoulders, spread my hands and said, "I don't care!" ”
I don't care much about image because I don't think it's necessary.
Luo Bingxue pushed open the door, snorted at me, and motioned for me to follow her.
I stood up and walked with Luo Bingxue to the banquet hall.
Along the way, we met a lot of celebrities who can only be seen on TV, and we didn't expect to see them all here today.
These celebrities saw Luo Bingxue greeting her one after another, but they ignored me.
If it were other people, they would definitely be extremely unbalanced in their hearts, but for me it doesn't matter, because I don't bother to talk to them.
They are superior in the eyes of many people, even idols, but in my eyes, I treat them as ordinary people, which may be the reason why I don't chase stars.
Entering the banquet hall, Luo Bingxue and I were arranged at the main table.
Soon, the banquet began, with the host saying a few words on the stage, and then inviting a bunch of people to speak, including publishers, investors, directors, and so on.
Of course, that also includes me and Luo Bingxue.
However, everyone said a few words casually, and no one talked about anything at length, after all, this was a banquet, not a press conference.
After a while, the banquet entered the theme, which was eating.
While eating, Shen Mengyun urged Luo Bingxue vigorously and asked her to eat more.
At the same time, Shen Mengyun asked me how much alcohol I could drink, and I stretched out my index and middle fingers to compare a scissor hand.
"Two taels?" Shen Mengyun was a little disappointed.
"It's not! It's two pounds! I said with some smugness.
My amount of alcohol was exercised by Zhang Helan, and I once drank all five of Meng Kaifeng.
Shen Mengyun's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "White?" ”
I nodded and thought to myself, could it still be beer? Or is it red?
Shen Mengyun said with some excitement: "That's great! After a while, you will block the wine for Luo Bingxue! She doesn't drink much! ”
I didn't understand until this moment why Shen Mengyun kept asking Luo Bingxue to eat more just now, it turned out that it was to let Luo Bingxue quickly fill his stomach and prevent him from getting drunk when he toasted for a while.
Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach is very hurtful and especially easy to get drunk.
I nodded and said, "No problem!" I'll definitely help Luo Bingxue block the wine for a while! ”
Luo Bingxue smiled and said, "Then you should also take it easy, don't get yourself drunk in order to block the wine for me!" ”
I nodded in understanding.
After a while, when it came to the toasting session, Luo Bingxue and I, as the leading actors of this film, would like to thank the investors, distributors and other relevant personnel one by one.
At the beginning of the toast, they were all toasts to some inconsequential people, such as the staff, second- and third-rate stars who were invited to fill the scene.
However, these staff members and second- and third-rate celebrities are also low-eyed, and when Luo Bingxue toasted, he couldn't wait to bring the wine glass to the lowest, and said all kinds of flattering and flattering words.
When it was my turn to toast, all of these guys looked disdainful, not only raised their glasses high, but also looked at me with a hint of contempt and jealousy, and even a few people did not give me face at all, and drank it all before I could finish speaking.
It's a good thing I'm too lazy to bother with them.
It's just that this made Luo Bingxue angry, she said indignantly: "These guys are really not things, they tend to be inflammatory, next time if someone doesn't give you a good look, I will turn against them!" ”
After that, Luo Bingxue also stomped his foot.
Without waiting for me to speak, Shen Mengyun waved his hand: "There is no need to be like this!" Don't offend these people because of Zhang Nan. You know, there are a lot of villains in there. As the saying goes, I'd rather offend ten gentlemen than a villain. Beware of them behind your back! ”
I nodded and said, "What Sister Mengyun said is not wrong! You don't have to do that. You're going to have to mix in this circle in the future! ”
Then I said, "What's more, I didn't pay attention to it at all." ”
finally persuaded Luo Bingxue, but she was still a little angry.
After saluting these people, Luo Bingxue was already a little drunk, her face was flushed, and her eyes were a little blurry.
Shen Mengyun gave me a look and asked me to take care of Luo Bingxue more.
I nodded in understanding.
When we started toasting some big-name stars and directors, I rushed to block the wine for Luo Bingxue, and some people were not happy.
Luo Bingxue didn't want me to be looked down upon, and insisted that every person he respected, he had to take a sip of wine.
But there are so many people here, not to mention that one person takes a sip of wine, even one person takes a sip of wine, and in the end, Luo Bingxue will be drunk, after all, her amount of alcohol is really not good.
According to my estimates, Luo Bingxue's alcohol consumption is only at the level of two taels.
After a while, Luo Bingxue was drunk, and she was a little shaky when she walked.
Shen Mengyun frowned behind him, and vigorously told Luo Bingxue to drink less.
But Luo Bingxue was afraid that I would be wronged, so she didn't listen to Shen Mengyun's words at all.
Luo Bingxue did this, which made me a little embarrassed, Shen Mengyun originally wanted me to help Luo Bingxue block the wine, but in the end, Luo Bingxue drank high.
Shen Mengyun felt very sorry for Luo Bingxue, and when she toasted later, she directly came forward to let Luo Bingxue bring wine with water.
When these star directors saw Shen Mengyun come forward in person, none of them dared to refute their face, and they all accepted the fact that Luo Bingxue used water instead of wine with a smile.
In fact, this is a big taboo in the wine field, others drink, why do you drink water.
However, Shen Mengyun is the daughter of the Shen family, and she has a lot of resources in the entertainment industry in her hands, and no one wants to offend her, so she just turns a blind eye.
Under normal circumstances, in a big scene like this, the agent hates that his stars are drunk or even drunk, and only in this way can he be recognized by everyone.
But Shen Mengyun was not like this, but thought about Luo Bingxue's body.
I think Shen Mengyun is a good person.
Ten minutes later, we finished saluting most of the people, and now it is the turn of the most critical people, who are investors, producers, distributors and a few others.
This time the investor is an American boss named Smith, who is a household name even in the United States.
The reason why Smith came to our country to invest in films is mainly because of the large domestic market and the future development potential.
In fact, now not only the United States, but also the big film companies of other countries want to come to China to get a piece of the pie, after all, China is a big film country that is in explosive growth.
"Hello, Mr. Smith! Thank you for investing in this film for us! Luo Bingxue walked up to Smith and said with a drunken face.
Smith looked at Luo Bingxue, two evil lights flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Miss Luo, I have heard your name for a long time, and it is really beautiful when I see it today!" ”
Smith said as he shook Luo Bingxue's hand.
Luo Bingxue was shocked, sobered up for a while, and looked at Smith with a surprised face.
Shen Mengyun and I furrowed our brows at the same time, looking at Smith with unkind eyes, I couldn't imagine that this old thing actually wanted to tease Luo Bingxue in public.
I was just about to teach this gringo a lesson, when Shen Mengyun suddenly shook his head at me and motioned for me not to act rashly.
I have heard before that the reason why Shen Mengyun cooperated with Smith was to push Luo Bingxue into the international film industry and make Luo Bingxue an international superstar.
Now that Luo Bingxue has become a domestic super actress, it can be said that there is no room for any rise, if you want to go to the next level, you can only take the international road.
Luo Bingxue withdrew her hand and said expressionlessly, "Mr. Smith, thank you for your appreciation of me!" ”
Smith didn't give up, and once again stretched out his hand to grab Luo Bingxue's hand.
This time I couldn't bear it, so I didn't care what Shen Mengyun thought, and directly grabbed Smith's hand.
"Mr. Smith, there is a practice in the world, I don't know if you know? When a woman does not extend her hand, a man cannot shake her hand. Isn't it a bit ungentlemanly for you to do this? I sneered and said sarcastically.
Smith narrowed his eyes at me, then turned to one of his attendants and asked, "Who is this?" ”
The attendant next to him whispered a few words in Smith's ear.
After listening to the words of his entourage, Smith immediately became extremely irritable, shook off my hand, pointed at me and yelled: "What are you? Do you think you are very powerful when you are selected as the leading actor by Luo Bingxue? I'm telling you, I'll get rid of you in minutes. ”
Anyway, Smith looked at me with contempt, as if I wasn't worth a penny in his eyes.
I looked at Smith in amazement, not because of how fierce he was, but because he spoke Mandarin so well, he was actually better than I could speak, and I spoke with a local accent.
Smith saw me staring at him intently, thought I was scorning him and despised him, and reached out and slapped me.
I sneered in my heart, you brought this on yourself.
I didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but since Smith, a foreigner, dares to do this to me, then I'll let him embarrass himself in front of so many people.
