"Bro, what a huge gambling den! That's pretty arrogant." Wang Zhonglei said, clearly indignant. "What a show-off! You're an outsider, daring to act tough here. Damn it!!!"
Wang Zhongjun glanced sideways at Wang Zhonglei, who was looking behind him at the celebrities striking various poses on the red carpet, oblivious to their presence. Today, the entire Chinese community had come out in force. The two of them, along with Feng Kuzi leading the group, had brought over 60 celebrities to the premiere.
In reality, celebrities attend premieres for several reasons: first, they have a prior working relationship with the director and are there to show their support; second, they are from the same company; and third, they attend simply to ride the wave of popularity, gain attention, and grab headlines. This is especially true for premieres by big-name directors, which are packed with various media outlets. If a single photo goes viral and becomes famous, or if it catches the eye of a powerful figure, sponsor, or even the director, there's a chance they could go from nobody to star.
For a director, the more celebrities who attend the premiere, the more prestigious it is, and secondly, they also need these celebrities to generate buzz. It's a win-win situation, so you'll see that for any film by a big-name director, there will definitely be many well-known and popular artists in attendance. In reality, they don't know each other at all and have no connection; it's just a mutually beneficial arrangement.
"What kind of society is this? Money talks. How much money does Chen Fang have? You're out there attending parties every day, don't you know his background? He's a super tycoon spanning multiple fields, his net worth is incalculable, and his connections are incredibly powerful. You're saying something like that? Are you looking for death?"
Feng Kuzi nodded and said, "Zhong Lei, Master Shen is someone we can only look up to. You must not say this to anyone else. We are at an important stage of development right now. If we offend Master Shen, the Chinese community will be in danger."
Wang Zhonglei chuckled: "I'm just talking big. I know what's going on, I'm aware of everything."
Wang Zhongjun rolled his eyes: "You have no sense of propriety. If I hear you say something like that again, I'll slap you across the face. You want us brothers to die? I won't tolerate that."
Wang Zhonglei quickly begged for mercy: "No, no, no, I will absolutely 100% never say such things again."
Wang Zhongjun glanced at Wang Zhonglei and then fell silent. Although the two brothers had some family background and were among the first to enter the media industry, Huayi had always held a leading position before Longteng appeared. However, with the arrival of this newcomer, there was nothing they could do. He also resented Shen Fang for stealing his limelight, but after learning about Shen Fang's power and wealth, he no longer cared about that. Now, he just wanted to get close to Shen Fang and gain some benefits.
So the reason I brought so many celebrities here is to make my presence felt.
"Director Zhang, congratulations! This is truly groundbreaking—holding a premiere here is unprecedented!" Feng Kuzi congratulated him, his eyes filled with envy. Look at him, he's already achieved so much.
Zhang Yimou smiled wryly: "This wasn't my idea, Director Feng. To be honest, I'm still a bit dazed and out of sorts."
Feng Kuzi expressed his understanding, saying, "Where is this place...?"
Wang Zhonglei and Wang Zhongjun both offered their congratulations, saying, "Wishing you soaring ratings and a box office hit."
Zhang Yimou returned the greeting: "Thank you both, Mr. Wang, for coming to the premiere of 'The Golden Dragon Unarmored.' Also, please welcome Mr. Shen and several other leaders inside."
Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, and Feng Kuzi nodded and led the way into the venue. The other Chinese artists followed suit, offering their congratulations one by one.
Following closely behind was Bona's Fatty Yu, arm in arm with his new wife, dog-stealing master Yuan Li, Yuan Quan, Huang Yi, Li Feier, and others, as they walked down the red carpet.
Yuan Li is now considered Yu Pangzi's new love interest. His official wife, Jin Qiaoqiao, already has a child, but this woman still follows Yu Pangzi around all day, attending various events, acting as if she is the rightful wife. This woman is somewhat mentally ill, or more accurately, brainless, and is notorious in the industry.
She became famous very early, rising to fame with her role as Ouyang Lanlan in "Never Close Your Eyes." She then starred in the "Black Hole" trilogy (Black Hole, Black Ice, Black Mist), alongside actor Chen Daoming. Next came the classic TV series "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan," where she was the female lead. She was incredibly popular, becoming famous earlier than anyone else. However, for some reason, she went abroad, married a foreigner, suffered domestic violence, divorced, and her life has been erratic ever since.
I have practically no friends in the industry, neither men nor women, not a single one.
When she was filming "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan" with Zhang Guoli, rumors of an affair surfaced. When Feng Lazi found out, she went directly to the crew and slapped her.
Later, she became Yu Dong's bedmate, following him everywhere. While it's understandable to be a gold digger, the fact that Jin Qiaoqiao had a child with her sparked public outcry. For reasons unknown, she revealed various scandals about Jin Qiaoqiao using a secondary account. After her actions, netizens generally felt that Jin Qiaoqiao was a person of excellent character, a loyal friend and a good artist.
Yuan Li's alternate account revealed on a gossip platform that Jin Qiaoqiao claimed that when her best friend Fu Yiwei became addicted to drugs, Yuan Li desperately wanted to help her friend quit. So, she bought a folk remedy from a Chinese doctor in the United States for a large sum of money. However, this remedy ultimately failed to clear customs as it was a prohibited drug, and the remedy itself was fake.
Revealing to reporters that Siqin Gaowa had received sheep placenta injections infuriated Siqing Gaowa. Siqing Gaowa is a highly respected senior figure, and she hadn't offended you. You blurted it out without thinking, then covered your mouth and looked at Siqing Gaowa innocently, saying, "Hey, it's okay to say it. If anyone gets angry, then they're just petty."
