Chapter 74: The crew's annual dinner
Liu Lan arrived relatively early, but there were other people who arrived as well.
Qiu Jing booked six tables. The tablecloths and the layout of the hall were all festive red. Even the flowers decorated in the vases were bright red roses. They were as gorgeous as possible, but not tacky.
There were names on the backs of each table and chair. The two tables at the front were for the main creators and leading actors. Liu Man found her name at the last table.
Before she came, she looked at the WeChat names of the people in the new group. All the extras, extras, and even the actor who played the class teacher with more screen time than her were not eligible to attend this family reunion dinner. The fact that Liu Lan could have a seat here was really thanks to Qiu Jing's kindness.
The protagonists had not arrived yet, and Liu Lan did not dare to just sit there waiting. She went out from another door and went around to the public area on the fourth floor, intending to visit this luxury hotel first.
After all, she had never seen such a place in her past or present life.
At the same time, a Rolls-Royce stopped at the door of the hotel, and the hotel staff at the door recognized at a glance that the Rolls-Royce belonged to their boss.
To their surprise, the boss who usually sat in the back seat actually got out from the front passenger seat. After getting out, he waved his hand to ask other waiters to help, opened the back door himself, and said to the people in the car with a smile,
"Everyone is welcome, please come in."
...
...
A few minutes before 6 o'clock in the evening, most of the crew members had arrived and were seated.
In order to attend this family reunion dinner, Qiu Jing and Gao Jindong flew from the capital to Shanghai this afternoon. The two of them were sitting in the front row, with Ye Zi sitting on the other side of Qiu Jing.
Yang Huayue was Gao Jindong's relative, so she should have sat next to Gao Jindong. But between her and Gao Jindong there was a production manager, followed by an assistant director, Feng Qingyu, Qiao Xin, and Tang Tu.
After counting carefully, there is still an empty seat at the main table.
The crew members were quite gossipy. The person sitting on Liu Man's left was an assistant makeup artist. She was whispering with the assistant prop master sitting on Liu Man's right.
"Who is the empty seat next to Director Ye at the main table reserved for? Aren't all the people here?"
"I just went over to take a look. The name written on it is Ye Ziliang."
"Who is Ye Ziliang? Hey, isn't our director called Ye Zian?"
"So, he must be Director Ye's brother."
The discussion between the two inevitably reached Liu Lan's ears, but it had nothing to do with her, so she didn't take it to heart.
Xue Yunfei, Lu Yi, Cheng Fenglan and others were sitting at the second main table, which also had an empty seat.
At six o'clock, a familiar figure came in from the front door in a hurry. When he got to the hall, he changed to big strides and quickly ran to the second main table.
"Brother Yunfei, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be late, there was just too much traffic," Xiao Ke'er apologized to Xue Yunfei, looking as if she was afraid that he would be angry.
"Hurry up and sit down. You are here just to check the time, but you are not late."
Xiao Ke'er quickly sat down beside him.
"Who is this girl? She looks so unfamiliar. Is she from our crew? How come I've never seen her before?" The makeup assistant next to Liu Lan started to mutter again, "She's actually sitting at the second main table."
"She seems to be a popular internet singer. What's her name? Emmmm, Xiao Ke'er. Yes, it's Xiao Ke'er," the prop master's assistant recognized her.
"Oh, as soon as you mentioned the name, I remembered it. It's Xiao Ke'er. I've seen her singing videos online. It's strange. Why would an online singer come to our crew's New Year's Eve dinner? Is she a relative of Teacher Xue?"
"Who knows? You know how complicated this circle is. Let's just focus on eating tonight."
Liu Lan was also curious about why Xiao Ke'er appeared here, but she also vaguely guessed the reason.
Ye Zian glanced at his watch and said to Qiu Jing and Gao Jindong, "Let's not wait for him. Let's serve the food first."
He gestured to the waiter behind him, and a minute later, the waiters brought the dishes to the table. In between serving the dishes, Ye Zian stood up and said to everyone:
