Chapter 116 How can there be no plot?
"The main table area, it must be the main table area."
A charity dinner.
There were sixty tables and more than five hundred stars and celebrities.
There are five large tables in front of the stage, each seating eighteen people. They are all considered the main tables.
These hundred or so seats are the ones that must be fought for.
Only big shots, celebrities, and top-tier people are eligible to sit here.
Vanity Fair, what is Vanity Fair? This is it.
Because they were attending in the name of the program team, Jiang Fanyu, Ye Mengyu, Gu Yize, and President Chu had to sit at table number one in the center of the main table.
In order to accommodate a few people who were not qualified to sit at the table, the whole group sat at table number five in the northwest corner, which was the worst of the five tables.
Su Lan could squeeze into table number four or five, so she wasn't freeloading.
Li Xiaoli and Mo Chubai are just trying to get some attention from the program crew.
Fans are already blowing up the news on Weibo.
With Sister Luan blocking the way, Ye Mengyu didn't socialize much.
That's inevitable. As soon as I sat down, people kept coming over to say hello, hand over business cards, and ask for their phone numbers.
Jiang Fanyu was relatively unavailable nearby. He had a reputation for being aloof and indifferent, and lacked status. He felt he'd only be met with disapproval, so he decided not to bother. The few high-ranking officials at tables one and two waved and nodded from a distance. Those at the next table came over to shake hands.
The atmosphere didn't quiet down until the host came on stage and the charity auction officially began.
The theme of this charity is to donate money to build roads in remote mountainous areas.
Raise funds through auction.
The items being auctioned are donated by guests.
This is also the most common form.
If you don’t want to donate anything for the photo shoot and are worried about the embarrassment of having the photo taken unsuccessfully, you can also donate money directly.
There are more than 500 people, including more than 300 celebrity artists, and 200 of them cannot go on stage.
How to make your presence felt in front of the big guys and stand out in such a world of fame and fortune depends entirely on your own means and the capabilities of your team.
“Did you donate anything?”
Ye Mengyu asked Jiang Fanyu and Gu Yize.
Jiang Fanyu shook his head, "No time to prepare."
Gu Yize nodded, "My mom brought me the gloves I wore when I won my first championship. It doesn't matter, I have to take pictures of them myself anyway."
After that, he asked Ye Mengyu, "What did you donate?"
"When Sister Luan mentioned it yesterday, I wasn't living in the Golden Nest, and I didn't have much stuff in my new home yet. I just grabbed a diamond bracelet from the closet. I forgot to ask Sister Luan how she made it and where it came from."
During the auction, you can't just say that Miss Ye donated a diamond bracelet. There has to be a copywriting to embellish the bracelet's significance.
"Third brother, I'll help you with your gloves for two rounds. When it's my turn to put on my bracelet, you can't let me drop it on the ground."
It is embarrassing if the item fails to sell or fails to sell at the first hammer.
Even if something is worthless, it only gives you face if people fight for it.
For example, the first item presented was a finger-sized peach wood Wenchang pen pendant, which was said by the banquet organizer, Mr. Gu Manning, to stimulate discussion. As the editor-in-chief of a magazine, Mr. Gu is a writer, so a Wenchang pen is very meaningful to him.
The price online is no more than 20 yuan. Mr. Gu said he has carried it with him for more than ten years.
The starting price is one dollar.
After dozens of rounds of bidding, the item was finally bought by the boss of Wenrong Group, the owner of Shangxuan, at table number one, for 150,000 yuan.
When it came to the big boss, everyone was very considerate and stopped bidding.
It takes care of both the inside and the outside.
The atmosphere also heated up.
Just right.
Later, a big star was called on stage. He didn't donate anything, but directly offered to donate 500,000 yuan.
There were also people who went up to introduce their own items, brag about them, and show off by organizing everyone to take pictures.
Ms. Zeng Xiaoyan was even brought up on stage. Several of her rumored boyfriends were present, and the host was a familiar figure, able to control the situation and take a joke.
Let her sing, perform shows and make a living.
It is not shameful to perform art to raise funds for charity, but if you are not famous enough, you cannot sell this art.
They sang three classic masterpieces in succession, creating the first climax of the banquet.
Zeng Qimo came with her mother and sat at table number two.
Mo Chubai had just said that she was withdrawing from the show due to health reasons, and now she showed up at the dinner party, acting as if no one knew her.
Another hot search.
Everyone is guessing whether they broke up and why. How did Mo Chubai ruin his chance to become the son-in-law of the richest man?
In short, the main thing is to know what’s new in the venue, and the hot searches are updated at any time. There are fifty entertainment hot searches, forty related to the dinner, and more than twenty on the overall list.
Shangxuan’s position as the top fashion magazine in China is firmly established.
There is no need to wait for the dinner to end. With this kind of popularity, Ms. Gu will be called the fashion devil for another three years.
Ye Mengyu also followed the crowd and raised the sign a few times.
The first two times she raised her hand, no one fought back. She bought a painting and a musical prop, spending 130,000 yuan.
After a long time, she didn't raise the sign again.
Afterwards, Li Feifei came on stage to take a photo of her props from the set: a hand-woven platycodon basket. Then she raised her hand again, and this time, Jiang Fanyu, Gu Yize, and Zeng Qimo all bid.
When the others saw this, they said, "Okay, let's bid. The eldest lady doesn't want the face that everyone has to give in to."
Teacher Li finally bought back the vegetable basket herself for 300,000 yuan.
Later in the auction, when Ye Mengyu raised her hand, everyone bid normally. She didn't try to grab it, and she didn't fight when someone else tried to grab it.
Can it be so smooth?
Of course not.
A big shot at table number one brought a painting by Ye Qingyi to be photographed. It was a small painting of a persimmon depicting a good thing happening.
The starting price is 100,000.
This painting can either be bought back by the big man who donated the painting, or by Ye Mengyu.
Everyone felt that she would never let Ms. Ye's paintings fall into the hands of others.
So, when the boss offered 500,000, Ye Mengyu did not raise his hand.
Xia Luosu actually bid, "Six hundred thousand."
After calling out the price, he also greeted the big man, "Uncle Yang, my grandfather likes Master Ye very much. I'm sorry."
How could a big man called Uncle Yang really bother with a junior?
He bought this painting at an art exhibition for 350,000 yuan. So he donated it.
If you love it so much, you won’t take a photo of it!
After Xia Luosu got the boss’s response that it was okay, she looked at Ye Mengyu arrogantly.
Seeing her arrogant look, Ye Mengyu felt that if she didn't teach her a lesson, it would be unfair to her for letting herself be slapped.
