Chapter 120: Flocking in
When he came to Song Ci, Fan Bingbing knew that it was a bit presumptuous of him to come uninvited, but women, especially beautiful women, would always be treated preferentially, and there were probably few men in the world who would be disgusted by a woman like her.
Fan Bingbing smiled and knew it was not a good idea to talk to Song Ci rashly, so she asked Zhang Zhao coquettishly, "Mr. Zhang, I hope I didn't disturb you."
Zhang Zhao nodded in response. He had already seen Fan Bingbing walking towards him, and Wang Changtian and Li Ming following closely behind him. He knew the purpose of the three people's visit, so he stopped reporting the matter to Song Ci and waited for them to come over.
Wang Changtian and Li Ming followed Fan Bingbing to Song Ci with excitement. How could Zhang Zhao not know that they wanted to make friends with the chairman.
Seeing that the boss had no intention of refusing, he did a favor and introduced them directly without waiting for them to speak: "Boss Wang, Boss Li, Bingbing, let me introduce you, this is Boss Song, the chairman of our Tengda Group."
Zhang Zhao acted as a matchmaker and then introduced the identities of the three people to Song Ci.
As soon as Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Wang Changtian smiled and spoke first: "I have heard of Mr. Song for a long time. I see that he is so charming today. He is really a rare talent."
Li Ming also echoed loudly, praising: "After seeing Mr. Song, I finally understood what it meant to be a man as beautiful as jade and a gentleman unparalleled in the world."
Fan Bingbing bowed slightly, elegant and dignified. Although he had something in mind, he acted neither humble nor arrogant in front of outsiders, and said softly, "Hello, Mr. Song."
"Thank you all for coming to support us today." Song Ci nodded slightly. These three were well-known figures in the entertainment industry in his previous life. He was not arrogant either. He gently extended his hand and shook hands with each of them.
When shaking hands with Fan Bingbing, Song Ci clearly felt the other party scratching his palm a few times, and was surprised that the big star was so bold when they met for the first time.
Looking up, the moment their eyes met, Fan Bingbing quickly lowered her eyes, her long and curly eyelashes trembled slightly, as if revealing a hint of shyness inadvertently.
"You are playing hard to get. You have some skills. Most young people would fall into the trap and be easily taken advantage of."
Song Ci looked at the famous topic queen in front of her calmly, only to find that she seemed to be aware that he was looking at her.
Fan Bingbing slightly turned her body, revealing her graceful neck line, and casually lifted the hair by her ear. Her movements were gentle and charming, full of charm, and she was truly a beauty on earth.
The sight of five people gathered together and standing in the hall was already eye-catching, not to mention that among them was a bright and eye-catching superstar, Fan Bingbing.
Together with the three film and television company bosses around her, Zhang Zhao and her group immediately became the focus of the entire audience, and those who were paying attention quickly recognized the identity of the core figure, Song Ci.
"Zhang Zhao actually invited Mr. Song to come here as well!" Yu Xin, who was chatting with Gao Yuanyuan in a corner of the hall, looked over and couldn't help but marvel.
He happened to see Song Ci's handsome face through the gap between the crowd and was slightly surprised, thinking that Zhang Zhao had invited the big boss over.
"Yuanyuan, come with me to meet Mr. Song." Yu Xin hurriedly urged the beauty beside him.
He knew that the chairman of his company rarely went out and it was difficult for outsiders to meet him. He had joined Tengda Culture for so long and had only met Song Ci a few times during group meetings.
Since participating in "So Young", Gao Yuanyuan has maintained a good friendship with the male lead Qiao Zhengyu.
Today, the movie starring her best friend held its premiere, and she happily came to show her support. After greeting Qiao Zhengyu, she is now chatting with her old acquaintance Yu Xin.
Gao Yuanyuan had her long hair tied up, with a few strands of hair naturally falling on her cheeks. Her fair skin was set off by the pure white evening dress, as white as frost and snow, and like delicate white porcelain, adding a bit of gentleness and charm to her whole person, exuding a charming luster.
She and Fan Bingbing are the two most famous actresses in the audience, and also the most beautiful scenery at tonight's premiere.
When she heard Yu Xin suddenly wanted to take her to meet Mr. Song, she hadn't reacted yet and subconsciously asked, "What Mr. Song? Which company?"
Yu Xin rolled her eyes. The little woman was just long on hair but short on knowledge. He had good intentions to ask her to switch to Tengda and become the top lady. She would definitely have no shortage of resources in the future. However, she was hesitant all the time. It was really annoying.
This woman is only thinking about the movie with Shing Long. Now all Hong Kong directors have to go north to make a living, but she is still thinking about flattering the Hong Kong circle. It is so stupid.
He shook his head helplessly and said unhappily, "Are you stupid? How many Mr. Songs can we have in Tengda Group?"
Gao Yuanyuan suddenly realized what was going on and stuck out her tongue: "Your big boss!"
Glancing at Song Ci who was gradually surrounded by the guests, he suddenly recalled the scene where he was ignored at the celebration party of "So Young" last year.
Reluctantly, he said, "Boss Song is too cold-tempered. I could tell from the last time we met that he is not an easy person to get along with.
I'd better not join in the fun, so as not to bore myself. We are not in the same circle as him, and those who try to get in by force will be in vain."
Yu Xin sighed and said that Gao Yuanyuan had no vision, but his words just now also had some sober meaning. A forced melon is not sweet, so he could only nod helplessly: "It's up to you."
The news spread very quickly, and the guests in the hall who came to attend the premiere basically knew that the chairman of Tengda Group had arrived.
While Gao Yuanyuan was struggling and hesitating, there were many other people who wanted to curry favor with Boss Song.
Zeng Jia, the artist director of Tengda Culture, is one of those people with good intentions. The company's vice president Jiang Tiantian has been promoted to the group as deputy director of the office.
Originally, the position of Deputy General Manager Jiang Tiantian was vacant. She felt that she had great advantages and wanted to compete for it.
It was rare for the chairman to appear in public, so she had to seize the opportunity and at least make herself familiar to the boss. If the boss didn't even know her, how could she advance to become the vice president?
"Tidy up your appearance, and the three of you will come with me to meet the chairman." Zeng Jia straightened his slightly wrinkled collar while reminding the three artists beside him.
Wang Luodan, Lu Yi and Wang Kai are the few contracted artists of Tengda Culture. They will definitely come to support the premiere of the company's first film today.
After hearing the instructions from the artist director, the three of them quickly adjusted their state and tidied their clothes.
Lu Yi glanced in the direction of Song Ci. The big boss was surrounded by a group of people. He asked timidly, "Boss Zeng, is it appropriate for us to go there now?"
More and more people gather around the big boss, and those who dare to get close to him are all CEOs of film and television companies, first-line stars, and they are all bigwigs or prominent figures in the entertainment industry.
We are just small names in the circle. If we force ourselves to join such an occasion, I'm afraid the big guys won't even bother to take a look at us.
When Lu Yi expressed his idea, Wang Luodan and Wang Kai stopped and looked at Zeng Jia, waiting for her to make the decision.
Seeing the hesitation on their faces, Zeng Jia glared at Lu Yi fiercely and reprimanded him unhappily: "Lu Yi, shut up, if you don't want to go, stay here.
You don't fight for such an opportunity, you deserve to be ignored and the company's resources are taken away by outsiders for nothing."
She had no good feelings towards this woman who had always been led by the deputy director of the department. She even disrupted our morale at the critical moment. She was really disgraceful and deserved that the heroine of "Nightclub" was snatched away by Liu Shishi.
Lu Yi was shocked by Zeng Jia's bad attitude. She was speechless and felt a little aggrieved. Who in the entertainment industry doesn't want to be famous? She was very envious when Liu Shishi appeared in such a graceful manner just now.
He and Liu Shishi are known as the two prides of Beijing Dance Academy. On what basis does the other party take up his company's resources and show off in Tengda's home turf?
She was just giving some small suggestions based on facts. The chairman was already surrounded by many people, and she, a small and invisible person, had no say in the past. So why bother herself with the chairman?
However, she did not dare to refute Zeng Jia's decision and followed reluctantly.
At this time, Zhang Zhao slightly dispersed the people around him to make some space. Song Ci was talking to Cai Yinong.
When he met Song Ci again, Cai Yinong found the right opportunity and brought Hu Ge up to him. With the help of his acquaintance Zhang Zhao, he soon got the chance to talk to Song Ci.
"Mr. Song, please forgive my poor eyesight for not recognizing you in the elevator just now." Cai Yinong smiled and was humble.
"Mr. Cai, you are too polite. Zhang Zhao was just telling me that Tangren and Tengda are about to start cooperation and we will be a family in the future."
Song Ci has a double meaning. Looking at the face so close, Cai Yinong does look a bit like his childhood sweetheart. Together with Sun Li, the former top lady of the Tang Dynasty, they can be said to be of the same lineage.
Cai Yinong couldn't understand Song Ci's metaphor. She thought that the other party valued the cooperation and treated Tangren Film and Television as their own. She was very happy. With Song Ci's words, she was sure that Tangren would become the pillar of Tengda Group.
"Yes, yes, yes. Tengda and Tangren will be one family from now on. I would like to invite you, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Liu to have a meal after the New Year. I hope you will do me the honor."
Zhang Zhao laughed secretly as he listened at the side. It seemed that Cai Yinong didn't know the relationship between Song Ci and Liu Shishi. If his chairman married Liu Shishi, he would be Tang Ren's son-in-law, and they would be a family.
"Mr. Cai is thoughtful. Let's have dinner together when we have the chance." Song Ci shook his head slightly. If they wanted to have dinner together, they should wait until the two families truly became one family.
Seeing more and more people coming towards him, Song Ci became a little impatient. He was not a person who was good at socializing, and this was his first time appearing in public. He had no experience and was unable to handle so many people.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Cai Yinong, Song Ci frowned and asked, "How long will it take for the premiere to start?"
Zhang Zhao read his boss's expression and knew that he was getting annoyed, so he quickly said, "It's almost time. Please go to the theater and wait. I'll ask the staff to arrange for reporters, film critics, and audience members to enter."
"Everyone, the premiere is about to begin. Please go into the theater and don't gather here."
After saying this, Zhang Zhao dealt with everyone's greetings while squeezing through the crowd and escorting Song Ci into the theater.
As soon as he entered the theater, his ears immediately became quiet. Thinking of the enthusiasm of the crowd just now, Song Ci said with lingering fear: "I was careless. Next time I come to such an occasion, I must bring a few more people."
Zhang Zhao immediately agreed: "It was my negligence. Next time, I will definitely arrange more security guards to maintain order and prevent emergencies.
But today is mainly because you are usually elusive and this is your first time in public, so these people all want to get to know you, so naturally they are very enthusiastic. "
Song Ci's seat was arranged in the middle of the first row of the theater, with Liu Rong and Zhang Zhao's seats on his left and right respectively.
Next, sitting in the first row were some film and television company bosses and executives, as well as "Nightclub" director Xu Zheng and several leading actors.
Sitting in the second row are stars and their agents such as Fan Bingbing and Gao Yuanyuan. They are basically seated according to their status in the circle. In principle, those with higher status and higher profile sit in the front row.
Soon after guests, film critics and reporters came in, Xu Zheng brought Qiao Zhengyu, Liu Shishi and other leading actors to the stage in front of the curtain, and the premiere of "Nightclub" officially began.
As soon as Liu Shishi appeared on the stage, Song Ci took the lead in applauding, and the people around her also followed suit. As the applause from the front row spread, the audience in the back row also became excited, and suddenly the entire theater was filled with a warm atmosphere.
The spotlights flickered, shining on every star on the stage. Xu Zheng, wearing a neat suit and a confident smile, waved to the audience.
Lead actors such as Liu Shishi were radiant and frequently interacted with the audience, fans and media, interviewing, signing autographs and taking photos, satisfying everyone's enthusiastic requests.
Zeng Jia noticed Wang Luodan's envious look from the corner of his eye: "Why, are you envious?"
She is the artist director of Tengda Culture and sat in the third row with several of her own artists.
Wang Luodan nodded without disguising and admitted frankly: "I envy you. I want to be famous too."
Lu Yi, who was standing by, also felt something when she heard this. She was very envious of Liu Shishi on the stage. She was now left behind by her old classmate. What was even more infuriating was that the other party was using her own company's resources.
"This is just the beginning. You guys, including Liu Shishi on the stage, are not even considered third-tier right now. The company will be releasing several TV series and movies this year, so make the most of the opportunity."
Zeng Jia gets angry when she talks about opportunities. Just now, she brought a few artists to Song Ci to make herself familiar to him.
But because he arrived late, Zhang Zhao announced the start of the premiere and missed the opportunity. He felt that he was delayed by Lu Yi's procrastination.
Wang Luodan nodded solemnly again: "Don't worry, Mr. Zeng, I will work hard."
After the on-stage interview and interaction session ended, Xu Zheng led the leading actors in bowing and expressing their gratitude before walking off the stage.
As the movie began, the lights gradually dimmed, the entire theater gradually became quiet, and the audience began to stare at the big screen intently to watch the movie.
Song Ci leaned slightly and asked, "Sister Rong, how much did Southern Cinemas give for the screening of Night Club?"
Liu Rong replied in a low voice: "Currently, it's 22%. I've promised Mr. Zhang that I will support our first film no matter what. The screening schedule in the first three days will be guaranteed to be no less than 20%."
Song Ci nodded slightly, thinking in his mind that with this amount of screenings and adequate publicity, "Nightclub" should be able to gross at least 30 to 40 million yuan.
(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!)
