Chapter 31: A Gathering of Celebrities
Leng Xiaotian decided to report to Vice Chairman Su Xiaobin about asking director Gu Liming to take the lead in the production of the promotional video for the World Youth Championships.
Walking into the office building of the Youth Federation, Sneer Xiaotian felt a surge of vitality and vitality. The people in the whole office building are busy, and the people here are very young, everyone has a kind and happy smile on their faces, and everyone who sees a sneer must politely say "hello", which seems to be both self-contained and graceful, unlike some other government agencies that are more serious and less lively.
At the door of Su Xiaobin's office, Sneer Xiaotian suddenly heard a deliberately suppressed dispute from inside the hidden door: "Old Su, I don't know what you think." As far as I know, the vice president of the student union of the Capital University, whom you strongly recommended, once took a year off from school due to hepatitis. I don't know what path he took, as soon as he returned to school, he suddenly joined the party and was suddenly promoted to the vice president of the student union. Our Youth Federation is a people's organization, and it has always been clean and upright, and it does not engage in nepotism or backdoor relations. I don't know what you like about a student like Sneng Xiaotian who relies on crooked ways to gain political capital. In my impression, you've always been more upright, what's going on this time?"
There was silence for a moment, and then Su Xiaobin laughed softly and said: "Lao Lu, you comrade is good at everything, but he is a little bit fond of drilling the horns of the bull, everything is a one-size-fits-all, and he doesn't know how to see things with the eyes of development." Yes, Sneer Tian was recommended by me, but since I recommended it, I must have a sufficient reason to recommend it. You should think about it from another angle: Why was Seng Xiaotian suddenly approved by the Capital University to join the party within a month of returning from his suspension? Why was he arranged to join the student union as vice chairman? If he did not have a certain ability and ability, no matter how much he had a relationship, no matter how crooked he followed the wrong path, it would be impossible to buy off all the school leaders! As far as I know, at present, the leaders of the Capital University range from the secretary, president, and vice president to the director of the student affairs department, the head of the department, and the head of the department. The tutor, when we went to investigate Sneer's performance, almost all of them were affirmations and praises, and none of them reflected that he had climbed to the position of vice president of the student union by taking a crooked path. ”
When Sneer Xiaotian heard this, he didn't dare to stand at the door stupidly, for fear of being bumped into and saying that he listened to the root of the wall, so he deliberately took two heavy steps at the door, and waited until the conversation inside stopped abruptly before knocking on the door gently.
"Please come in!"
Su Xiaobin said inside.
Sneering Tian pushed open the door and greeted with a smile: "Hello Vice Chairman Su!
The vice chairman surnamed Lu had a slightly unnatural face, barely squeezed out a smile, and nodded in agreement.
Su Xiaobin smiled and said, "Xiao Leng, it's just right that you came." Vice Chairman Lu is the deputy director and commander-in-chief of the Preparatory Committee for the World Youth Championships. Now it is imperative that the promotional video of the World Youth Championships be filmed as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to do publicity and promotion work. ”
"Does the Football Association care about this?"
Sneered Tian asked.
"The Football Association and we have a division of labor: they are responsible for the professional affairs of the venue, athlete reception, and schedule arrangement, and we are responsible for daily affairs such as logistics support, publicity and promotion. ”
Sneering Tian nodded.
Vice Chairman Lu frowned and said: "The biggest problem in this promotional film now is who to ask to be the director. We don't worry about ordinary directors, for fear that they will not make good films, and we can't hire first-class directors - after all, this is only the World Youth Championships, and directors are volunteering. Moreover, the selection of the protagonist of the promotional video is also a big problem!"
Sneer Xiaotian came today for the promotional video, and he was elated, but he didn't expect to hear Vice Chairman Lu's words as soon as he arrived at the door, and his heart was like being crawled by a caterpillar, which was very uncomfortable, and he wanted to simply stop worrying about it, but when he saw Vice Chairman Lu's embarrassed look, he couldn't help but say it: "Two chairmen, I have a candidate in my heart, but I don't know that you are not satisfied." ”
"Who is it?"
Su Xiaobin and Vice Chairman Lu asked almost in unison.
"Director Gu Liming, you should all know it!"
Vice Chairman Lu was stunned for a moment, and then a sneering expression appeared on his face, and said: "We really want to invite him to make a promotional video for us, but he is an international famous director, and only a top event like the Olympic Games can invite him." Besides, I heard that he has cancer now, and he is being treated in the hospital, and he has been out of the public eye for months, where do you want us to invite him?"
After saying this, he stared at the sneering sky and shook his head, obviously dissatisfied that he had come up with such a bad idea.
Sneer smiled and said, "Please don't invite Gu Dao, I know it in my heart." The two chairmen just need to tell me: Is it okay to ask Director Gu to direct the promotional video?"
Su Xiaobin listened to the meaning of his words, as if he had already been sure to invite Director Gu Liming, and hurriedly said: "Of course I can't ask for it! With Director Gu playing this promotional film, the quality and effect must be first-class, how can it not work?"
Vice Chairman Lu was still skeptical, and asked: "Can you really invite Director Gu? Don't believe the words of some scammer intermediary companies, they often cheat money and sex in the name of knowing a certain director, and then they will miss our big things!"
Seeing that he still didn't believe it, Sneer walked to the desk, picked up the phone on the table, dialed Gu Liming's number, and then pressed the speakerphone button, so that Su Xiaobin and Vice Chairman Lu could listen to his call with Gu Liming:
"Hey, I'm Gu Liming. Who are you?"
"Gu Dao, I'm a sneer. ”
"Oh? hahaha...... Dude, where are you calling me? Is it a public phone on the street? I think you should go buy a mobile phone, or we will look for you, it's really inconvenient!"
"I'm in the office of the vice president of the Youth Federation and I'm talking about asking you to make a promotional video for the World Youth Championships. When do you think this is the time to start moving?"
"Now I'm just getting moving. Well, the day after tomorrow, I plan to have a small party, and many friends from the entertainment industry and the business industry will come to congratulate me on my recovery and discharge from the hospital. You're going to have to come and join us, we're going to talk about it, okay?"
"Okay, then we'll get in touch the day after tomorrow. ”
After hanging up the phone, Vice Chairman Lu stared at Sneer Xiaotian with wide eyes, and finally a smile appeared on his face, and he said sincerely: "Good, good, good! The young man is capable." Now I've got a big problem to solve!"
He turned his head to Su Xiaobin and said, "Old Su, I apologize to you for what I just said! It seems that you are still a step above me in terms of knowing and employing people!"
Two days later, at seven o'clock in the evening, Sneer Xiaotian rushed to the "Celebrity Classic Club" as promised to participate in Gu Liming's recovery celebration party.
When Sneer Xiaotian walked into the clubhouse, he saw many familiar faces that he often saw in movies and television. There are first-line actors, famous hosts, popular singers, and some bigwigs in the business world.
But Gu Liming was not in it.
This meeting hall is very large, and there are several very luxurious tables in it, and the first people sit on the tables in twos and threes, chatting enthusiastically.
Sneer Xiaotian didn't know anyone, so he found a table with familiar famous actors and singers and sat down, and listened to them chat with interest about some interesting anecdotes in the entertainment industry.
At this time, an actor sitting opposite glanced at Sneer Xiaotian and asked, "Brother, which company are you? Why haven't I seen it?"
This actor sneered and knew him, and he is now the most popular first-line student, named Hu Jie.
Seeing Hu Jie asking himself, Sneer Xiaotian was a little flustered, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm not an actor, I'm a student." ”
"Oh?"
When Hu Jie heard that he was not an insider, he immediately lost interest in talking to him, and said to another female star a little impatiently: "Who is Director Gu going to pick up? He has been gone for so long and hasn't come back, that person is too good! With Director Gu's face, this mysterious guest is still late, and he has to be driven to pick it up in person." Gu Dao has always been arrogant, and it is difficult for idle people to see him, why did he lower his posture so much this time?"
The female star smiled and said, "He just said that there is a most distinguished guest coming to the club tonight, and this party seems to be specially held for this VIP." As for who it is and why Director Gu values it so much, we don't know. Let's look at it then, I don't think it's a super-rich person, or a government dignitary, or Director Gu wouldn't be so solemn when talking about him. ”
This female star Sneer Xiaotian also knows, her name is Fang Ruli, she is the eldest sister in the mainland music scene, and her fame is on par with Ning Qing.
In addition, sitting at this table are also big-name singers and movie stars such as Yuan Ying, Du Huan, and Wang Li.
It's just that although Sneer Xiaotian knows them, they don't know him.
At this time, a very delicate and slightly immature girl sitting next to Sneer Xiaotian timidly said to Fang Ruli: "Sister Li, you have such an iron relationship with Director Gu, can you recommend me to him?" I really want to play a role in his next movie, it doesn't have to be the female number one, the number two or the number three!"
Fang Ruli smiled elegantly and said, "Fluttershy, my relationship with Gu Dao is okay. However, he is a bull temper, and he rarely listens to other people's recommendations when selecting actors, and he does it himself, and he works tirelessly to select actors all over the country. So, there's really no way I can help you!"
With a disappointed look on her face, Fluttershy takes a sip of her drink and is depressed.
Sneering Tian saw that this Fluttershy was full of childishness, delicate and delicate, and had a bit of the innocence of the girl next door, and if she played the role of a high school student or college student in the promotional video of the World Championships, it should be very suitable, so she said to her without knowing the depths: "Director Gu will soon direct a promotional film for the World Youth Football Championship, do you want to play a role in it?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole table stared at him like a monster. Several of them had sneering expressions on their faces, apparently assuming that he was talking in his sleep.
Fluttershy thinks he's making fun of her, and an angry look appears on her face.
