Time flies, and before we knew it, it was 2006.
Zhang Yimou began preparing for the Olympic opening ceremony that year. On the first day of the new year, he came to the Great Hall of the People. Not only was he there, but Shen Fang was also there, along with Liu Qianqian, Liu Shishi, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Pan Yueming, Li Xiaoran, Yan Danchen, Fan Xiaopang, Zeng Li, Xu Qing, and many other artists from DragonTV.
Today is the premiere of Director Chen's "The Promise".
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wuji opened its doors.
The weather was unusually cold today. Even though Shen Fang was wearing a down jacket, he still felt a chill on his neck. The north wind was blowing hard and slippery.
Although it was a grand affair with a packed venue, Director Chen extended an invitation to many, and with Han Sanping as the main investor, everyone in the industry showed their respect and came.
The red carpet was sparkling with stars.
However, all of Longteng's artists were wearing down jackets, whether male or female.
Although they all have endorsements and need to showcase the brand, Chen Fang rejected all of them, saying they'd just take a couple of photos inside later. In this cold weather, wearing a long skirt with bare shoulders and no shirt underneath could easily make you sick.
However, since the boss has spoken, the artists are naturally willing; nobody wants to freeze.
Walked down the red carpet.
In the reception hall, there were Chen Hong, Director Chen, Xie Biwang, Zhang Baizhi, Zhang Dongjian, and Liu Ye.
Director Chen couldn't stop smiling; he seemed to have a lot of confidence in The Promise. Chen Hong, wow, she's probably almost 40 this year. She has a great figure, with curves in all the right places. Today she's wearing a red dress and has a blanket draped over her shoulders. Her makeup is quite pretty. She's definitely a charming young woman.
"President Shen, Lao Zhang, welcome, welcome."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I wish you great success."
Zhang Yimou said the same thing: "I've taken time out of my busy schedule to come and support you today. I wish you great success."
Director Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you. Please come in. A buffet has been prepared. Please enjoy your meal and drinks. President Han will be here in a little while."
Shen Fang didn't waste any words. He ate and drank, and with air conditioning, he felt that his trip hadn't been in vain. He had originally planned to rest at home, but Liu Qianqian, Liu Shishi, Fan Xiaopang, Zeng Li, Xu Qing, and everyone else were coming over. Chen Huilin was going to spend time with her parents, and Shen Kun had gone back to his hometown, leaving him alone at home.
It's better to come along and have some fun.
Walking into the hall, I saw that the venue had been completely redecorated. Looking at it, well... it would be considered quite trendy by today's standards.
The venue was heated, and Shen Fang felt a bit hot as soon as she entered.
After taking off their clothes, the artists from Longteng also removed their down jackets, revealing their battle robes.
Just kidding, they all have endorsements to their brands, how could they really just wear down jackets and not take some photos to promote their brands? That would be a breach of contract.
Liu Shishi and Liu Qianqian pulled Chen Fang to the buffet area, having not eaten anything beforehand.
"Wow, this place is pretty upscale. Let's change it up. Little Fatty, Lili, Sister Qing, you guys come and have some too. It's not bad. It'll probably be over by the afternoon, and you probably haven't eaten anything yet, so come and grab a bite."
Xiao Pang, Zeng Li, Xu Qing, Yan Danchen, Li Xiaoran, Li Caihua, and others also gathered around.
They didn't eat anything. To be precise, whenever they were attending a premiere, opening ceremony, or banquet, they would basically stop eating a day in advance, just to look thinner in front of the camera.
Hollywood goes even further. Whenever there's an awards ceremony, especially for important awards, they start controlling their diet a week in advance, and they don't drink water the day before or the day after, for fear of edema and urinary problems, since many clothes are forced on, and drinking too much water can easily cause urination.
"Wow, this little cake is so delicious! And this chocolate mousse, this sandwich is alright too, and there's also steak." Liu Qianqian and Liu Shishi were going crazy with excitement.
There's also a round-faced girl named Zhao Xiaodao, who's quite a glutton. Whatever Liu Shishi and Liu Qianqian eat, she eats too, and she eats with great relish.
Fan Xiaopang and Zeng Li couldn't stand it anymore. Goodness, we told you to just have a little bit of everything to fill your stomachs, but you're taking big bites every now and then. Will you ever change this habit?
"Xixi, Shishi, stop eating! And you, Xiaodao, eating so much will cause indigestion, and you'll have a tummy when we take pictures later," Fan Xiaopang and Zeng Li quickly stopped the three of them.
Liu Qianqian was enjoying her chocolate when she heard this and felt extremely wronged. But there was nothing she could do; she was a celebrity. Looking at the chocolate in her hand, she took another big bite before finally putting it down.
Then she ran up to Shen Fang and started acting cute. Shen Fang gently wiped the corner of Qianqian's mouth.
"Alright, if you don't want to eat, then don't. Aunt Liu has prepared a big meal for dinner tonight, so save your room."
"By the way, is your dad able to get here today?"
Liu Qianqian nodded: "Dad, grandpa, grandma, maternal grandma, my cousin, and my aunt's family are all here."
Shen Fang held Liu Qianqian's hand. Liu Qianqian would be 20 years old this year, and he had to keep his promise to give her an answer.
"Uncle, are Aunt and Uncle arriving today too?"
Shen Fang nodded: "We'll arrive today, on Xiao Ma's private jet."
Liu Qianqian was filled with anticipation, a little nervous, and a little hesitant, as various thoughts flooded her mind.
