Chapter 273 Four People Sitting at the Same Table
"Tangren Films treats artists so well, and they even pay for their education?"
Yang Yi glanced at the little girl who was packing her things in the rental house with a look of disbelief on her face.
She had only heard of management companies desperately squeezing their artists, but this was the first time she had seen one being trained so carefully. It was truly a strange thing.
"Naza's situation is different. She is still young and not yet an adult. Sister K has high hopes for her. If she can go to Beijing Film Academy for further studies, her future will be even brighter.
And Sister K promised her parents that letting her go to school was one of the conditions of the contract. "
Liu Shishi stood aside, thinking of the company's arrangement for Naza, and nodded in approval.
Sister K did not exhaust all resources for short-term benefits. She had reasonable long-term plans for her artists, and her level of structure has indeed improved a lot.
She had no experience in renting a house, so she asked her good friend Yang Yi.
When Yang Yi heard about such a small matter, she took it upon herself to quickly find a suitable rental house for Gulinazha near Beijing Film Academy.
"Based on her face, it would be easy for her to get into Beijing Film Academy. Studying is not a waste of time."
"You can't let your academic performance be so bad."
After hearing this, Yang Yi secretly complained in her heart, wondering how many celebrities are cultured?
"Yiyi, how are you doing recently?" It was a rare gathering, and Liu Shishi was concerned about her roommate. They hadn't seen each other for a while and missed each other very much.
"It's okay. I can definitely make a living. Recently, I also joined the "New Laughter Inn" crosstalk club founded by Jia Lin." Yang Yi responded with a smile.
Thanks to Sister Yi, she is now the golden supporting actress of Tengda Culture's crew. Although she is not as good as the star actors, she has no shortage of roles to play, has a decent income, and lives a stable life. She can be said to have taken root in the capital.
Seeing the contented expression on Yang Yi's face, Liu Shishi felt relieved.
Of the three roommates, Lin Wenwen had a falling out with everyone in the early years and had lost contact with them. Chen Xin returned to her hometown in Hainan Province, and although they occasionally contacted each other, they had not seen each other since graduation.
Only Yang Yi chose to stay in Peiping and entered the entertainment industry, so Liu Shishi took good care of her.
Gulinaza finished packing quickly, looked at the clean and tidy little room, and expressed her gratitude to Sister Yi: "Senior Sister, I have packed all my things, thank you."
Liu Shishi was also very satisfied with the cottage that Yang Yi found. The environment around the school was quiet and suitable for quiet study.
"You can stay here and study with peace of mind. Sister K will come to see you in Beiping in a few days. If you have any questions, you can contact me or my assistant directly."
After settling Gulinaza, she finally put her mind at ease. Liu Shishi looked at the time and it was almost time for lunch.
"Yiyi, Naza, let's have a meal together."
Yang Yi couldn't ask for more, with a smile on her face: "Thank you for spending money, Mrs. Song. I just happen to have some gossip to share with you."
"Mrs. Song?" Gulinazha wondered why Yang Yi called her Sister Yi like that, but she was not familiar with her and felt a little timid, so she did not dare to ask.
Throughout September, Liu Shishi seemed to be completely isolated from the hustle and bustle of the entertainment industry. She was quite relaxed at work during this period, shooting for magazines and attending two fan meetings. Her life was relaxed and comfortable.
Just like that, time passed quickly and it was the end of the month.
On September 28, the 7th Bazaar Star Charity Gala was held at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Beijing Yintai Center, attracting hundreds of stars, entrepreneurs and celebrities.
Thanks to Weibo's unremitting sponsorship and promotion last year, the Bazaar Charity Gala is now well-known and has become a major event in the entertainment industry.
Countless celebrities are trying their best to show up at the party and take this opportunity to increase their popularity by being on the hot search list on Weibo.
On the red carpet, although the male stars' dressing styles vary, most of them are similar, and they usually wear common high-end suits.
A few big names in the circle like Chenglong have the unique idea of choosing a Tang suit to highlight their status in the circle.
The female stars started a fashion feast of competing with each other in beauty, each doing their best to show their style.
Especially with last year's double-soldier stepping-down incident in mind, this year all the female stars are dressing up carefully and looking radiant, for fear that their limelight will be overshadowed by others, or that they will see a press release on Weibo saying that they have been outshined by someone else.
There are also a few female stars who, in order to attract attention and stand out, dress in extremely bold styles. Their avant-garde and revealing outfits are a feast for the eyes of many men.
On the red carpet, Yang Mi held Liu Shishi's arm affectionately, showing a professional smile under the flash lights, and was very happy inside.
After being promoted to one of the Four Little Flowers, she finally received an invitation from the organizer this year, where she showed off her "Legend of Sword and Fairy" sisterhood in front of the media.
Liu Shishi was also helpless. Her good sister said that she had no experience in attending such charity events. After repeated requests, she softened her heart and accompanied Yang Mi to walk the red carpet.
"Mi Mi, please pay attention to your posture."
The two walked side by side, arm in arm. Liu Shishi noticed from the corner of her eye that her best friend leaned forward slightly and quickly reminded her.
She knew that Yang Mi had a slight hunchback, which might not be a big deal under normal circumstances, but at this moment, under the spotlight and in front of countless cameras, any small problem of a female star would be magnified and become the focus of discussion.
Upon hearing this, Yang Mi subconsciously straightened her body, secretly groaning in her heart, thinking that her hunched back must have been photographed by the entertainment reporter.
With the entertainment industry's top figure, Tangren No. 1, around her to compare herself with, I guess she'll be laughed at by her haters again tomorrow.
I couldn't help but think in my mind that I had to think of a way to divert everyone's attention from my shortcomings!
Suddenly an idea came to her mind, and she lowered her head and noticed her proud body curves. Yang Mi immediately came up with a plan. She had a good figure, was burdened, and her body was leaning forward a little. Netizens should be able to understand this.
Thinking of this, she glanced sideways at the girls around her. The first girl was wearing an emerald green haute couture dress today, looking youthful and energetic.
However, his style is still as conservative as ever, strict and secretive, and it is hard to tell his depth from others. I guess only Boss Song knows whether he has any substance or not.
After taking a photo in front of the autograph wall, the two went back to the backstage. Liu Shishi frowned and asked, "Mi Mi, why do you keep staring at my chest?"
She had noticed before that Yang Mi's eyes always fell on her chest intentionally or unintentionally, which made her feel strange and very uncomfortable.
Yang Mi quickly shook her head and responded casually: "I'm looking at your dress. It's really beautiful."
"Really? I think green is more lively, too. My husband thinks this set is pretty good, too."
Yang Mi looked envious, it was good to have a rich husband, he could buy any dress he wanted. The dress she was wearing was rented, although she made some money from filming in the past few years, she used it to support her family and didn't dare to spend it lavishly.
Not to mention something as extravagant as buying a haute couture outfit just to attend a charity event.
"When will we get a high-end luxury endorsement?"
Liu Shishi understood what Yang Mi meant and consoled her, "It will be soon. We will have one or two more hits and secure our position as a top star. Then when we participate in these events, brands will provide us with dresses."
"Oh, there are not so many blockbuster works!" Yang Mi sighed. She has been in the industry for so many years, and the only real blockbuster drama is "Chinese Paladin III".
Besides, her resources are not as good as her best friend's. She would be satisfied just to play the leading female role, and she would not dare to expect any high-quality hit script.
Stepping into the brightly lit banquet hall, the two found their seats under the guidance of the waiter. When they looked at the seat cards on the table, an idea emerged in their minds at the same time: the organizer was trying to make trouble!
This time, the organizer actually put the four young actresses and four young actors at the same table!
Looking at the seating arrangement, Liu Shishi shook her head helplessly, secretly complaining that the organizer was unfair for putting Lao Hu and Mimi together.
The whole network knew that the two had just broken up some time ago, but they still arranged their seats together, showing no consideration for other people's embarrassing situation.
Yang Mi also noticed the speechless seating arrangement. When her eyes fell on Hu Ge's seat card, a trace of pain flashed through her heart, but she immediately adjusted her mentality, sat down calmly, and her every move did not reveal anything unusual.
As time passed, stars came in one after another. The originally empty hall suddenly became lively with laughter and joy. The guests at Liu Shishi's table also gradually arrived.
"Brother Lin!"
"Mi Mi, how are you?"
Yang Mi and Lin Yushen greeted each other. They were both former artists of Rong Xingda, and since they were sitting at the same table, it would be bad to pretend not to know each other.
"Teacher Zhu!" "Teacher Hu, hello!" "Sister Luodan."
All of them were outstanding new generation figures in the entertainment industry. After getting to know each other, they started chatting casually. Finally, Liu Yifei arrived late, and everyone stood up to greet each other.
After Liu Yifei took her seat, everyone suddenly stopped talking and the atmosphere at the table became a little dull.
Seeing this, Hu Ge could only bite the bullet and find a topic to talk about: "Yifei, long time no see, what are you busy with recently, have you taken on any new dramas?"
After all, he had worked with Liu Yifei in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", and he is the most familiar with "Sister Fairy" among this group of people.
"I haven't been filming recently!" Liu Yifei didn't talk much, and her voice sounded a little cold, as if it carried a hint of alienation that kept people at a distance.
His eyes swept across the crowd, lingered on Liu Shishi for a moment, and then added inexplicably: "We will be shooting a movie early next year."
Once the conversation started, Yang Mi also joined in: "Yifei, you should take on one or two more dramas a year. Your fans are looking forward to your works!" She and Liu Yifei had worked together on "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and they are old acquaintances.
Liu Yifei shook her head slightly: "I have very high requirements for movie scripts. Quality is more important than quantity. One play a year is enough."
Wang Luodan could not help but chuckle after hearing this, and there seemed to be some disdain hidden in his laughter. He thought to himself that Liu Yifei, it's okay for you to just pretend in front of outsiders. If there are no movies to shoot, then there are no movies to shoot. What's the point of talking about pursuing quality?
Anyone who has some connections in the circle knows that you, Liu Tianxian, have offended Huayi and Tangren, and can no longer make it in the mainland entertainment circle, so you can only develop overseas.
Liu Yifei sensed Wang Luodan's contempt, and although she felt very disgusted, she controlled her temper as the situation was not right. Besides, she really had no way to deal with this popular young actress of Tengda.
The three actresses at the table all made her feel uncomfortable, not to mention Wang Luodan, who blatantly looked down on her.
As for Liu Shishi, she had a head-on confrontation with me at last year's Bazaar Charity Gala, which caused an unpleasant experience for me. She also snatched my endorsement. The fans of the two groups quarreled with each other on the Internet every day.
Seeing Yang Mi, I felt mixed emotions. She played a minor supporting role in The Return of the Condor Heroes, but in just one or two years, she has become as important as me. It was hard not to feel a little sad.
Liu Yifei gritted her teeth and secretly decided that she must stand out at tonight's auction.
Because she was banned by Huayi, she didn't receive any good scripts throughout 2009. Her popularity was almost overtaken by the other three young actresses. She really needed to be on the hot search list to increase her presence.
After a while, the evening party officially began, with the same fixed segments, and first of all, the announcement of the top ten charity stars.
Looking at the shining stars on the stage, Yang Mi tilted her head and moved closer to the host next to her to ask.
"Shishi, how much do you have to donate to be named a charity star? I remember you donated a lot of money, too. Why aren't you included?"
“It’s not just about donations, the organizers will also consider the influence of the stars. We have only been famous for a short time, and our reputation is still a little behind that of the big stars.
But if you dare to donate a large sum, you can also strive for this honor next year."
Yang Mi curled her lips: "When it comes to donating, you have to do it within your means."
She doesn't dare to compare herself with the famous actress He Yijie. She has basically emptied her funds from buying tickets and houses some time ago, and has no money left for charity.
After saying that, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the main table, and asked curiously: "By the way, Shishi, why don't I see your guy?"
"Tengda Group is planning to build several large databases and is currently selecting sites. He was invited by the leaders of Guizhou Province to visit the local area."
The two of them chatted casually like this, with Hu Ge occasionally joining in, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Soon the evening came to the exciting charity auction session.
The first few treasures were photographed one by one, and the atmosphere on the scene gradually became lively.
When the fifth item was displayed on the big screen on the stage, the actresses' eyes lit up. It was a piece of women's clothing with exquisite design and fashionable style.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the starting price of this Armani multi-colored gorgeous evening dress is 100,000 yuan. I believe that the lady who gets such an exquisite and beautiful evening dress will definitely be blessed with good fortune."
The host waved the small hammer in his hand, trying his best to boost the atmosphere.
Liu Yifei looked at the evening dress and her eyes lit up instantly. She liked the auction item at first sight and made an offer without hesitation: "150,000!"
Here they come. The stars who participated in the previous gala all showed an expression of watching the fun, knowing that the real charity gala has only now officially begun.
The first few auction items were just appetizers; the real show began when the popular actresses in the circle made their bids.
Feeling Hu Ge's eyes on her, Liu Shishi was confused and asked in a low voice: "Old Hu, why are you staring at me?"
"Shishi, Yifei has made an offer, aren't you going to raise the price?"
“Why should I raise the price?”
Hu Ge was stunned and touched his head awkwardly, remembering the competition between the two Lius at last year's party. He thought it would continue this year.
Seeing Lao Hu's expression, Liu Shishi immediately reacted and snorted unhappily: "You want to watch a show, right?"
The first sister hit the nail on the head, but Hu Ge would not admit it. She denied it with a playful smile: "No, no, I just thought this dress was pretty and thought you would like it."
Liu Shishi carefully looked at the auction items on the screen and nodded: "It's very beautiful."
While Sister Yi was still hesitating whether to raise the price, Wang Luodan took the lead and raised the number plate in his hand high, saying in an impressive manner: "Two hundred thousand."
