The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 486: The Great Warrior

The eighth lot is a Bo Bo series fusion panda and a pair of teddy bears.

The bodies of the two bears are made of 18K white gold and are inlaid with nearly 10 carats of black and white diamonds in colors from E to F.

Haha Panda, a personal fine art sculpture, is made of stainless steel and decorated with thousands of crystals.

Liu Shishi's eyes were instantly attracted by the pair of diamond bears, and she quoted her price without hesitation.

Yang Mi followed closely and held up a sign: "85."

The interval between the two bids was so short that many female guests who were interested in bidding had not yet reacted. After realizing the relationship between the two, they smiled knowingly.

"Why were they arranged to sit at the same table?"

Han Geng whispered to Zhang Ziyi beside him, "Su Mang, aren't you afraid of a fight? The fans of these two, especially Liu Shishi's million-strong army, are so fierce."

Zhang Ziyi raised her chin and responded calmly: "Su Mang's arrangement tonight is indeed ill-considered, but a fight is impossible. Lu Yuan is at least on the table."

"Lu Yuan." Han Geng looked at the figure in front of him, curled his lips, and felt unhappy.

He is the same age as Lu Yuan, returned from South Korea, and can act, sing and dance.

Although "Far Cry" starring Yang Mi was rated as a bad movie, thanks to the support of fans, the box office was still considerable, approaching 90 million.

He has a lot of fans. "The Great Warrior" is of higher quality and he is confident that when the film is released, the final result will not be too bad.

Maybe he can compete for the position of the number one young actor in mainland China.

Zhang Ziyi glanced at him and said, "Some things can be said in private, but don't say them in public."

Han Geng graduated from the technical secondary school of the Dance Department of the Central University for Nationalities. She attended the Affiliated High School of the Beijing Dance Academy.

Teachers and students from several major art schools in Beijing often cross paths during private lectures and exchanges, and both of them have been taught by the same teacher.

In addition, Han Geng had many young fans and was very popular, and she was also deeply influenced by the Triple Door, so they became friends.

But she knew very well that this outspoken person was a little bit proud of the flattery of fans, and might offend someone he shouldn't offend one day.

"Yeah, I know." Han Geng agreed perfunctorily.

"87."

"90."

Yang Mi and Liu Shishi were fighting back and forth, and the fight was very lively.

Liu Shishi glared at Yang Mi and muttered in a low voice: "This is obviously a couple's edition. You don't even have a boyfriend, why are you competing with me for it?"

"You can control me, I'm willing." Yang Mi was not willing to be outdone, and raised his sign: "92."

She didn't originally want to be so ostentatious, but she was really angry about what Liu Shishi said in the bathroom.

"Are you really together with that guy?" Liu Shishi also raised a sign: "95."

The other four people at the table were originally watching the show, but now they all pricked up their ears, hoping to see something new.

Lu Yuan looked at his girlfriend curiously. Why didn't she tell him about this?

Yang Mi glanced at the people at the table, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he quickly denied: "No."

As the prices offered by the two people continued to soar, the tension grew and even affected the prices of the items to be auctioned later.

Lu Yuan raised his sign at the right time: "120 million."

Liu Shishi and Yang Mi looked at each other before ending the bidding farce.

When the others saw Lu Yuan holding up the sign, they basically gave up on the idea.

After Lu Yuan took the item, he was about to go on stage.

Su Mang glanced at Cheng Long, who smiled, nodded, and stood up.

"Brother." Lu Yuan greeted.

Cheng Long grasped the hand he extended and patted his shoulder.

"Come on, the future is yours."

"I haven't made a choice yet." Lu Yuan responded modestly. Jet Li also said this. He guessed it was a habit of these two and they would say this to anyone they met.

"Let's have dinner together sometime."

"Okay."

After getting off the stage, Liu Shishi couldn't wait to grab the two diamond bears.

He completely ignored the cameras that were secretly filming on both sides.

She continued to reach out: "Give me the phone."

"What?" He did.

Liu Shishi didn't say anything. She lowered her head and fiddled with it, hanging a little bear on each of their phones. Hers was white and Lu Yuan's was black.

Then he looked at Yang Mi provocatively.

Yang Mi rolled her eyes, childish.

Lu Yuan held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then complained, "It's ugly."

Having said that, under his girlfriend's kind look, he still obediently put the money into his pocket.

Huang Xiaoming was watching the show when he was gently elbowed on the arm. He turned his head and said, "Next, next."

Only then did Yang Ying stop complaining.

The auction continued, and Chow Tai Fook's "Dragon Ball" ring, colorless glass pendant, Four Seasons series rose ring, etc. were sold one after another.

Among them, Lin Chi-lin's wedding dress was bought by Ji Xiaobo for 150 million yuan.

Wait until the 13th lot is about to be auctioned.

Ke Lan introduced: "The next lot is a wooden comb from the tribute film "The Unforgettable Number" which will be broadcast exclusively on CCTV next month."

The scene was silent for a moment. The recent promotion of "Number" was in full swing, with the first round of sales at a price of over 100 million yuan, which amazed everyone in the industry.

As soon as the words fell, some people looked at the figure in the front row with burning eyes.

The hostess brought up a tray.

The inside of the tray is padded with yellow satin, on which lies a comb. The main body of the comb is made of wood, but the back is inlaid with jade, which is carved with gold patterns. Under the light, it seems to be glittering and looks very beautiful.

Originally, the props of the crew were very simple.

When Lu Yuan received Su Mang's invitation and was asked to sell an item for auction, he thought that "Number" was about to be broadcast. After discussing with the crew, he simply asked someone to process the wooden comb and also for publicity.

Ke Lan continued: "Starting price, 1!"

"10 million!"

"20 million!"

"."

As soon as the auction started, many female stars at the scene became agitated.

Even if it is inlaid with jade, the comb is definitely not worth the price. But we should not be too short-sighted and should look at who provided the comb.

"Number" is about to be aired, and with Lu Yuan's repeated victories on the small screen, the ratings of this drama are bound to be good.

At that time, combs were a natural hype point. By writing a few short articles on Weibo, the number of fans would increase, and maybe even make it to the top of the rankings.

What if Lu Yuan remembered them because of this auction, and he thought of them when he was filming a TV series in the future and invited them to play a role? Wouldn’t that be great?

No matter how you look at it, it's a good deal.

"95." Huang Yi raised his sign.

Zhang Xinyi immediately followed up: "One million."

"."

Many male stars present looked at this scene and couldn't help but be shocked. The gap was getting bigger and bigger.

Just as they were daydreaming, a male voice suddenly rang out.

"150 million!"

There was silence for a moment, and everyone turned their heads to look, not quite understanding.

Because the person who made the offer was Han Geng, a popular idol who returned from Korea.

Han Geng noticed everyone's gazes, looked at Lu Yuan, and greeted him with a smile.

Lu Yuan was surprised. They didn't have much of a relationship, and he couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he had to suppress his doubts and nodded. The auction continued, and one item after another was sold.

The last item to be auctioned was Huang Yongyu's painting "Dreaming in the Lotus Pond", which came from Chenglong and was bought by Tian Hairong for 530 million yuan.

A total of 16 lots were sold, raising a total of 2800 million yuan for charity.

In 2009, the charity raised 3100 million yuan, the highest amount in history.

It seems that this year's total amount is not far from breaking the record.

Cheng Long and Su Mang came on stage and shouted again, launching a crowdfunding campaign with each person donating 100,000 yuan.

Trying to set a new record.

Events similar to the Bazaar Charity Gala have gradually changed in nature.

The so-called charity is just a gimmick. Many people in the industry participate just to go through the motions, get some exposure, and gain popularity in the name of charity.

As for donations, forget it, don’t even think about giving me a penny.

After Cheng Long's encouragement, everyone reached into their pockets and finally raised 300 million, setting a new record.

When it came to the group photo session, those celebrities who were just there to gain popularity shamelessly went on stage again.

Apart from celebrities from the business and cultural circles, there were quite a few people from the entertainment industry present tonight, and the stage was packed.

As we all know, people tend to be stretched and deformed and look fat when standing at the edge of a group photo.

What to do? Squeeze into the middle.

At this critical moment, most male stars don't care, but almost all female stars have the idea of ​​competing with each other for beauty.

The shape, movement, expression, even a blink, are all carefully designed without exception.

Lu Yuan politely declined the seat that Su Mang had specially arranged for him and instead chose to stand in an inconspicuous spot in the back row.

With a height of 1.85 meters, he can become the focus of the photographer's lens no matter where he stands.

He stood casually, but the other male stars felt a little uncomfortable.

There is a consensus among male celebrities in the circle that they should try to avoid taking photos with Lu Yuan.

This guy is tall, handsome, and more popular than them.

Whoever stands with him is just a pure supporting role, serving as a foil to his brilliance.

"Hey, senior brother, where are you going?" Lu Yuan grabbed Huang Xiaoming who was bending over and sneaking away.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Huang Xiaoming said with a bitter face.

Although he thought that his appearance was comparable to Lu Yuan, the "hard indicator" of height made him feel very stressed.

After the broadcast of "Startling by Each Step", enthusiastic viewers even questioned whether he used height-increasing insoles in the drama by comparing old photos with photos of the two with other stars in the circle.

"The shooting will start soon, just bear with it for two minutes."

Huang Xiaoming had no choice but to use his ultimate move. He put his arm around Lu Yuan's shoulders, stood on tiptoe, and showed his signature smile.

Anyway, you can’t take pictures of my feet from the back row, so let netizens say whatever they want. In four words, I refuse to admit it.

Seeing this, Deng Chao, Huang Bo and others followed suit.

Lu Yuan glanced at everyone. If it were the same temper as when he first debuted a few years ago, he would have to tiptoe to play with you guys.

Well, male celebrities actually have some tricks up their sleeves.

But compared with the intrigues among the female stars in the front row, it is nothing.

"Damn it, Yang Mi actually stood on tiptoe!"

"Liu Yifei looked at such a quiet person and even blinked secretly."

"When did Lin Chiling's shoulder strap fall off?"

"Fan Bingbing tilted his head, blocking the profile of Li Bingbing."

"Zhou Dongyu deliberately puffed out his chest."

"How come these people are one by one?"

After the party, Su Mang posted a group photo on Weibo, which sparked heated discussion.

Liu Shishi and netizens looked for details together, complained crazily, and regretted being too obedient.

"What about you?" Lu Yuan asked casually, "Just standing there honestly."

"Otherwise, I would have stood straight and taken the photo, but I didn't expect that none of them behaved well, including your classmate."

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "It's not her first time to come to Bazaar. She will become familiar with these methods slowly. It won't be bad for you to come a few more times. If it doesn't work, ask her for some advice."

"It's boring. I don't want to come next time." Liu Shishi was unhappy.

"what ever."

Liu Shishi glanced at the group photo again, looked around, leaned over, and whispered, "And this Lin Xinru, she's so shameless. Zhou Jie was probably framed by her. Xinyou donated 20 yuan in the end, but she's such a big star, but she didn't give a penny. What's even more outrageous is that she shamelessly went on stage and deliberately squeezed Xinyou when taking pictures. Xinyou was so angry that she rolled her eyes."

Lu Yuan frowned and was about to ask for details when he saw Liu Shishi shut up and gesture behind him with her chin.

He turned around and Han Geng came over.

"Teacher Lu."

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Just call me by my name."

Han Geng blinked his eyes and said, "Lu Yuan, I am your fan. I have watched "The Hidden Danger", "Snow Leopard" and "Love Is Not Blind". I wish "The Eternal Number" will be a big hit when it airs."

"Thanks for your support."

Lu Yuan doesn't believe in fans. This guy can't even pretend.

He thought for a moment and asked with concern, "The Great Warrior will be released soon, right?"

The director of "The Great Warrior" is called Ai Dajin. Around May, he was drunk driving and caused a rear-end collision with four cars, injuring four people.

According to a blood test by the police, the alcohol content in his blood was three times the standard for drunk driving, so he was arrested and sentenced to six months' detention.

On the day of the incident, the media was in an uproar, and the industry was generally pessimistic about the prospects of the play.

But then the unexpected success of Far Cry made fan economy a hot topic.

"Well, just these few days." Han Geng replied.

After a while, a Sina reporter came over.

"Hello, teachers. Is it convenient for me to interview you?"

"certainly.

"no problem."

The reporter first looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "Teacher Lu, "Number" is about to be broadcast. CCTV spent 1.3 million to purchase the first round of exclusive broadcast rights for this drama. Can you tell us what you expect from the ratings?"

Lu Yuan remembered Luo Liping's instructions and answered confidently: "In the same time period, it ranked first in the national ratings."

The initial selling price of this drama was too high, and CCTV was actually under a lot of pressure. If the ratings were not good, it would have a huge impact on both CCTV and Lu Yuan.

The reporter was shocked by his uncharacteristic directness. After a few seconds, he asked, "Can you briefly explain the significance of the comb at the auction?"

"The love token of the male and female protagonists in the play."

The reporter nodded and turned to look at the other side: "Teacher Han, why did you take a picture of Teacher Lu's wooden comb?"

Han Geng laughed heartily and said, "Because he is my idol."

"I noticed that The Great Warrior is about to be released. What do you expect from the box office of this movie?"

"Of course, I will follow Teacher Lu." Han Geng responded without hesitation, looking heartless.

The reporter frowned. Lu Yuan only starred in one movie, which was "33 Days of Broken Love".

In other words, the expected box office of "The Great Warrior" is close to 500 million?
He turned his head subconsciously: "Teacher Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Yuan was aware of Han Geng's intention tonight. Since this guy wanted to jump, he might as well give him a push.

So he patted the other person's shoulder lightly and said sincerely: "Chinese films have developed rapidly in recent years. Last year's total box office exceeded 10 billion, and this year is bound to set a new record.

As Han Geng's first film, "The Great Warrior" has many fans supporting it, so I'm sure the final result will not be too bad. "Love Is Not Blind" is a thing of the past and not worth mentioning. "

The photographer's camera was focused on Han Geng.

Han Geng smiled slightly. No, it’s about life and death. I am extremely confident.
