But it’s just fun to watch.
The netizens who were watching the show immediately became excited.
【6Ah!!!】
[It’s so cool! I love this red color]
[My boss Sheng is really good at handling things! ]
[Those who ask if country A has any objection, first of all, it is legal for country A to do so. Secondly, how long have you not paid attention to the recent news? Shengquan is very popular in country A.]
This is indeed true.
In the entertainment age, the effect of money is more prominent in country A. Even if it was not prominent originally, when many famous and wealthy "upper class" people are invited to the banquet, the media's direction will naturally change.
Coupled with Ryan's financial offensive, for a while, the hottest topic in country A recently was the "Starry Night Dinner".
At the beginning, domestic netizens had already decided what the people who would attend the dinner did and how much assets they had. Later on, they couldn't even keep count.
The super bosses in country A naturally did not make any move, but the gathering of "ordinary bosses" from all walks of life was shocking enough.
[This is the first time I have seen a Chinese person causing such a big commotion in Country A]
[It’s okay if it’s a big deal, the main thing is, what kind of network of people does this have to be! ]
[No wonder I heard that many people in country A are trying to get invitations. Think about it, this dinner party brings together so many bigwigs from all walks of life. Not to mention attracting investment or cooperation, even just a few words of conversation is an opportunity.]
[More than that, my mother had managed to get into a technical exchange meeting in her industry before. She didn’t meet a big boss, but when she talked about business later, she mentioned that she had also been to the exchange meeting, and the boss immediately looked at her differently.]
[Don’t talk about these people. I want to go there too when I see it. It’s so high standard. It must be fun.]
[Ahhhh, when I think about so many big guys entering this manor with our flag flying, I feel so happy]
Ordinary people were just watching for fun, but some people who had dealt with Sheng Quan were quite shocked.
No, we agreed that we are all on the same track.
No one can see how much money Sheng Quan has spent. All we see is that big, medium and small people from all walks of life in Country A are supporting her.
"I finally figured it out. I heard before that she came back from abroad. So that's where her base is."
When several CEOs of companies that had previously competed with Xingmang Entertainment met, the topic was basically all about Sheng Quan: "I guess so. Even a figure like Charles went there."
"She is so rich, why does she have to open a company in China? She should go abroad. The entertainment environment there is much better and much simpler than here."
Having said so much, it’s still sour.
This banquet invited many famous directors and major film investment companies, basically all aspects of the entertainment industry were involved.
With such a huge network of connections in the eyes of many people, they were not even qualified to participate, and it turned out that Sheng Quan was the organizer.
Who can resist feeling jealous?
Sheng Quan was not the thing that made them jealous the most. What made them jealous the most was that several investors who participated in the investment of "Cultivator" were all among the invited guests.
It’s not that it’s inappropriate for them to be invited. They are partners, so this is normal.
What they are jealous of is: "Why didn't I invest in "The Cultivator" when it started filming?"
Not to mention that you can establish a cooperative relationship with Sheng Quan and attend the dinner smoothly, just the huge reward that "Cultivator" brings is enough to make people sigh and miss it.
You know, "The Cultivator" is now being released in many countries, and it has been widely welcomed in both Asian and Western countries.
"Cultivation is a concept that only exists in China. How come those foreigners accept it so well?"
That being said, they are all in this business, so they naturally know it well.
Why can't foreigners accept it? If foreign settings are made into movies, wouldn't Chinese audiences still like to watch them?
Before foreign magic movies were introduced to China, the Chinese had never mentioned the word "magic".
It doesn't make sense that Chinese audiences can accept foreign films, but people from other countries can't, as they are all audiences.
To put it bluntly, quality still speaks.
But they didn't get to eat a single bite of this huge cake. Even though they knew it wasn't Sheng Quan's fault, they still felt bad.
Everyone was gathered together talking bitterly when suddenly a CEO's cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and answered it at the door. After listening to a few words, his tone suddenly became excited.
"What? Huang Yan was invited? The Starlight Dinner? Is this true?"
The subordinate on the other end of the phone quickly replied: "Really, although the invitation letter was sent from Country A, I went to Xingmang Entertainment to verify it, and it is indeed an invitation letter for the Xingmang dinner."
He glanced at Huang Yan, who was sitting opposite him with a look of surprise and expectation on her face:
"Boss Ma, now that the authenticity of the invitation has been confirmed, do you want to let Huang Yan go?"
In recent days, Mr. Ma has been complaining about why Mr. Sheng from Xingmang has nothing better to do than to hold a dinner party. His words seem to indicate that he is not very happy about it. He is afraid that the other party will not let Huang Yan go.
If Mr. Ma said now that she was not allowed to go, Huang Yan, who now looked like she could not wait to buy a plane ticket and fly there, would definitely be furious.
Fortunately, Mr. Ma is still very reliable at critical moments.
"Go! Of course I have to go! I have to grab this great opportunity!"
"Not only should Huang Yan go, but she should also be paired with someone. She should hurry up and get her dress. Also, hire three photographers to take pictures of her... There is only one invitation? Can't you let them take pictures of her entering the manor from outside?!"
After Mr. Ma gave a lot of instructions, he finally remembered to ask, "Have you asked Xingmang why Huang Yan received the invitation?"
"Huang Yan was invited because of the movie 'Speed' she filmed this year. She called to ask, and not only her, but also the male lead and the female supporting actress, as well as the director and screenwriter of 'Speed' received the invitation letter."
"Speed" is also a movie released this year. Although it was not released during the Spring Festival, its box office performance was quite good. Huang Yan played the female lead in it.
He explained: "Xingmang said that Mr. Sheng thought Speed was a good movie, so he sent us an invitation."
"Okay! Okay!" Mr. Ma didn't have time to calculate now. As far as he knew, there were many famous directors in the film industry attending the Starry Dinner, not to mention the wealthy people.
If the artists under their company could be spotted by an internationally renowned director at that banquet...
Mr. Ma became very excited.
He gave a few more worried instructions before hanging up the phone with excitement.
Shengquan...
I really didn't expect that she would do him such a big favor while she was abroad.
When he pushed the door open and came back in, the others saw him and asked, "What's up, Old Ma? Who would want to see you at this hour?"
"Company matters." Mr. Ma sat down and asked with a smile: "Where were we just talking about?"
"I'm talking about Xing Mang, it's also weird, they don't have many artists under their banner, but every one of them is very successful."
If it were in the past, Mr. Ma would have made a few sarcastic remarks, half jokingly and half seriously.
"When she returns home, I will congratulate her."
The person who was speaking: "...What's wrong with you? Did you take the wrong medicine?"
"Look at what you said. It's not enough for me to praise Sheng Dong a few words. She has achieved such great results at such a young age. Shouldn't she be admired?"
That person: “…”
Others: “…”
The contrast between the two is so stark, it's as if the person who spoke sourly before was not him.
The man was about to ask more details when his cell phone rang.
He went out to answer the phone, and when he came back, the smile on his face was exactly the same as the one on Mr. Ma's face.
"Hahahaha, where were we just talking about? Oh yeah, speaking of Director Sheng, hahahahaha, Old Ma is right."
"Don't underestimate Mr. Sheng because he is young. He is indeed a young man with a younger generation ahead of him."
*** There are many people who received surprises like them.
A well-known director received the invitation and excitedly packed his bags to fly to Country A.
"What do you mean it's too late? Wait until tomorrow. Director Cabos will also attend the dinner. Don't even think about catching a plane at night. I'll go even if it rains knives from the sky!"
A screenwriter who was writing a script at home while eating instant noodles opened his email notification and stood up suddenly in shock. When he hurried out, his family members looked at him sideways: "What are you doing? You are in such a hurry."
"Mom, I have to go to Country A. I received an invitation to the Starry Night Dinner! Oh my god!! Many internationally renowned screenwriters will be there!"
Such scenes occur in various countries.
A celebrity from country B received the invitation and was a little confused: "Starry Night Dinner? What is that?"
She was so busy that she hardly watched the news, so she just asked the agent next to her, who instantly became excited.
"Starlight? Is it the manor dinner at the original Jones Manor, now renamed Starlight? God, you received an invitation? Great!"
"Do you know how many people want such an invitation but can't get it? This is the most anticipated event in Country A recently. Being able to attend is a symbol of status! No, this matter must be reported in detail."
In another country, a middle-aged man who looked a little embarrassed was excitedly holding the plane ticket in his hand.
The Starry Dinner... This is his last hope for a comeback.
At the same time, in a certain Asian country, an entire company was running at high speed because its artist received a Star Mang invitation.
"Let this news spread through the media we are familiar with."
"No, not just report the existing ones, but have them praise me highly for how difficult it is to get into the Starlight Dinner. I want all citizens to know how high the threshold for this dinner is!"
Gold plating is a common term in every country.
Just like “riding the red carpet” is common in every country.
And now, they who failed to seize the opportunity in Golden Forest have got a second chance from the Starry Dinner.
Especially in the entertainment industry which is based on fame, when these artists from various countries receive invitations, even if the Starry Night Gala is only 3% famous, the companies behind them will exaggerate it to 90%.
Only when the public thinks that the Starry Night Dinner is of a higher level, will those who receive the invitation appear more powerful.
Even those who had previously been indifferent to the Starry Dinner changed their attitudes after receiving the invitation.
It is natural to criticize and point out other people's cakes.
But if you can have your own piece of this cake, the situation will be different.
Sheng Quan seemed to be weaving a big spider web.
This manor, which is worth nearly 10 billion, is the place she chose to build her network.
Using money to buy the first batch of guests is like extending the first line of trial.
Then, the second, and the third.
It looks disorganized, but in fact every step is carefully building the skeleton.
And now, the skeleton has been set up.
With a light flick, the people who were invited later turned into spider silk. They intertwined with each other, and without the owner of the spider web saying anything, they were already working hard to expand the entire spider web on their own.
A big network, starting from Shengquan, eventually spreads to the world.
“It’s really a great game with people’s hearts.”
Ryan, wearing a green suit, stood on the top of the castle with Sheng Quan and looked down: "This dinner has become the focus of the whole world. You have made it far more than its original value."
Sheng Quan smiled and looked at the excitement below: "It can be considered as the first step."
The entire manor was brightly lit and guests were already arriving.
There were countless flashes of light outside the manor; those were the reporters from various countries who were not allowed to enter, trying their best to take pictures outside.
They act for headlines and publicity.
But it made the feast more grand.
These dinners are always busy because almost everyone can find someone they are willing to chat with all night.
But when Sheng Quan appeared, almost everyone's eyes fell on her.
Maybe they weren't coming for her.
But no one can deny that tonight, Sheng Quan will be the only focus of the audience.
Sheng Quan smiled and chatted with those who were vying to talk to her. The inside of the manor was as bright as day. The sound of reporters taking pictures outside continued to ring out. On the Internet, many people were discussing the details of the dinner.
People were still entering the manor, and the celebrities getting off the car and the red flags behind them were photographed by reporters.
Ryan stood in the corner, looking at Sheng Quan smiling under the light. He was polite and gentle, but he couldn't hide the ambition in his eyes.
But it must be said that she is more radiant now than ever before.
He took a sip of the red wine in the glass and muttered to himself: "Just... the first step?"
Obviously I don't love my job
, but inexplicably, my blood began to boil.
Perhaps it was because he followed an ambitious employer, and even the first step...
——All witnessed by the world.
