National Tide 1980

Chapter 1334: Sleight of Hand

The dazzling array of congratulatory gifts makes people's hearts beat, and all flesh and blood people will flock to them.

Of course Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen are not immune.

As more and more gifts were displayed, they could no longer hold on to the pretentiousness of celebrities. They all stood up and followed the crowd to the long stage where the gifts were displayed at the entrance, and looked around carefully.

And the more I looked at it, the more surprised I became, and the more I looked at it, the more envious I became.

For no other reason than representatives of various factories or the old craftsmen themselves, what they send are all high-quality products recognized by those in the industry.

Either it was carefully selected in the warehouse, or it was made by the old craftsmen purely for Ning Weimin. Can it be any worse?

So when he came back and sat down again, Jiang Wen couldn't help but sigh with gleaming eyes, "That pretty boy named Ning is not simple. He can receive so many good things when he gets married. I don't understand why these manufacturers are following Who is he to praise him like a biological father? "

Liu Xiaoqin said at this time, "Isn't this strange? Ning Weimin and the Temple of Heaven Park have cooperated on too many projects. From the earliest Zhai Palace Stone Sculpture Exhibition to the current summer book fair, there are many exhibitions in the Temple of Heaven Park. He funded and organized many of them on behalf of the Pierre Cardin Company, especially the Tan Palace Restaurant, which needs to purchase a large number of art works. It is now called a "museum called a restaurant" by foreigners. Think about his status in the eyes of these manufacturers. I told you before that Ning Weimin is not simple at all. Do you know that the real person is not showing his face? "

At this time, Jiang Wen was several years younger than Ning Weimin.

Maybe it was because of his youth and arrogance, or maybe it was because of false pride. It was obvious that the facts were indisputable, but he still insisted on expressing his disdain.

"Oh, look at you, you are almost blowing him up to the sky. Yes, even if what you said is true, it doesn't mean anything. First of all, no matter how powerful he is, it is only in the name of Pierre Cardon Company. This Not really. If he wants to leave Pierre Cardon's company, then who is he? Let's just say that these people who flatter him are all craftsmen. It's not a big deal. If I want to flatter him, I might as well go and beg. Where is MADAM Song? I can’t flatter him, right?”

Liu Xiaoqin couldn't see his pettiness and said, "Don't say that, MADAM Song values ​​him very much. Even the French fashion master Mr. Pierre Cardin himself gave him shares in order to keep him."

But Jiang Wen, who was unconvinced, raised his face and said, "You just listened to those people's nonsense. Are there such eight things? If it is like what you said, then he can do it! I don't see him being invited today. What kind of big shot is coming? Among the people who came to congratulate me, in addition to people from our circle, there were also his colleagues and subordinates in the company. They were just factory directors, but they were not big factories. The scale of one to two hundred people is probably less than that of the municipal ones. He, I still say that he is just a pony working for foreigners at best! No, why don’t you even see a big boss with some status? This fully proves that this guy is not as awesome as you said.”

However, just when Jiang Wen blocked Liu Xiaoqin's words, reality played a cruel trick on him.

I heard the voice of the emcee ring again in front of the theater door, "Mr. Zeng Xianzi, chairman of Hong Kong City Goldlion Company, entrusted Mr. Huang Weiping, general manager of Goldlion China, to congratulate the pair of pure gold and the two immortals. Congratulations to the newlyweds on their marriage and their eternal marriage..." "

"Ms. Zheng Mingming, general manager of Mengka Beauty and Hairdressing Group and chairman of Gangcheng Monita Company, congratulates the couple on a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets, and wishes the newlyweds a long, happy and sweet life..."

People from Hong Kong are people from Hong Kong. Goldlion and Mengka actually gave gold items as gifts, showing their wealth and wealth.

And I have to say that these days, most people in the capital have never had the opportunity to see such a large gold vessel except in the Forbidden City. Naturally, it was very fresh. This immediately attracted many guests who had just seen it to gather again and come back to watch. .

Especially Liu Xiaoqin knew how stingy Zheng Mingming was, and she couldn't help but exclaim at this time.

"Look, people from Hong Kong City actually gave him gold. It turns out that Zheng Mingming is so generous sometimes. Huh, I think I really had no vision at the time, and she was fooled by a necklace."

As for Jiang Wen, the glittering pair of Hehe Erxian and the pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets placed on the long table were like a slap in the face.

What does it feel like to be slapped in the mouth as soon as you say something?

It hurts like crazy.

But that's it, this guy is still in trouble.

He actually resisted Liu Xiaoqin's meaningful eyes and was so stubborn.

"This is nothing. Most of them are just thinking about the cooperative relationship for the sake of Pierre Cardon. You see, the chairman of Goldlion didn't come in person either. This is called self-restraint of identity and unwillingness to show up. It's also Afraid of losing status.”

However, he said it would be better not to say anything. This kind of seeking compensation immediately brought him the humiliation of being slapped in the face.

"Mr. Huang Zhou, a famous painter! Congratulations on the painting "The Prosperity of Six Animals", and congratulations to the newlyweds for a happy and prosperous life..."

"Mr. Aisin Gioro Fu Jie, director of the Ethnic Affairs Committee and director of the Palace Culture Research Association, and his wife, Ms. Aisin Gioro Hao, would like to express their congratulations on the handwritten volume of "Spring Outing Ci". I wish the newlyweds a happy marriage and a son. …”

This time Jiang Wen was really impatient, and he muttered, "Oh, this guy is really a bit of a figure. He even has people in the serious cultural circle."

He quickly walked over and stood at attention, and took the initiative to greet Fu Jie and his wife.

For no other reason, it was because in 1985, he was spotted by director Chen Jialin and played the role of Puyi in the film "The Last Empress". For this role, he not only looked up a lot of historical information about Aixinjueluo Puyi, but also visited the last prince. With his sweet and humble mouth, he respectfully asked a lot of questions about the situation back then, and finally successfully created this image.

So, for Jiang Wen, meeting the last prince also had to treat him with the courtesy of a disciple and regard himself as a junior.

But perhaps because the last prince and his wife were too easy to talk to, they chatted with Jiang Wen for a long time with a pleasant face.

After returning from the landing, this guy felt that he was good again, and he was still bragging, trying to flatter himself.

"Tsk, what's the big deal? He knows her, and so do we. I didn't know until I asked. It turns out that Mrs. Hao came here for Matsumoto Keiko, to show support for her fellow villager, not for that pretty boy. I thought, if he had the ability, he would have invited me. I don't believe he would..."

Liu Xiaoqin interrupted him at this time, "Okay, stop talking. If you continue, you might mention someone else."

This made Jiang Wen feel upset, but fortunately he didn't say anything else, because in fact Liu Xiaoqin was right.

The next people to come were officials, and there were several government officials at the same time.

And not only were there many people, but many of them were even the top and second-in-command, and almost all of them came in sedans.

When these people came, the atmosphere in the theater changed again.

Perhaps it was due to the power of the officials, the whole place was solemn, even Jiang Wen really admitted his defeat, and dared not act as recklessly as before.

After all, he was also a member of the compound, and he knew several people in the officialdom, but they were people he could not reach.

He couldn't even invite such people to his wedding, but they came for Ning Weimin, so what else did he need to say.

If he said cheap words again, it would be self-deception.

So he was also a bachelor, and at this time he could only secretly smack his lips in his heart, wondering why Ning Weimin had such connections.

On the surface, he became the honest one, just drinking tea and smoking, and not talking much.

As for embarrassment, there was some, but it didn't last long.

This was due to the fact that he often did embarrassing things since he was a child, and he had a strong heart and thick skin.

In addition, because other actors in the entertainment industry also came one after another, he and Liu Xiaoqin were busy dealing with their peers.

With such politeness and greetings, the awkwardness was naturally put behind them.

Liu Xiaoqin also saw an old acquaintance she never expected, Liang Jiahui. They greeted each other with surprise, greeted each other happily, sat together, and talked about their respective situations.

Jiang Wen had a new object of attention that attracted his attention.

"Oh, Ah Hui, long time no see, I miss you so much!"

"Oh, don't scare me, I'm married."

Facing Liu Xiaoqin's carefree and unrestrained enthusiasm.

Although Liang Jiahui had already experienced it, he maintained the proper boundaries because of Jiang Wen's presence.

And he deliberately showed the ring on his finger, avoiding embarrassment with a humorous response.

As expected, his actions immediately won Jiang Wen's favor.

"Ah? Are you really married to Director Li's daughter?"

The reason why Liu Xiaoqin asked this question was that when she and Liang Jiahui were filming a movie together, Liang Jiahui was still the prospective son-in-law of Director Li Hanxiang and was dating the daughter of a famous director.

She didn't know that after Liang Jiahui won the Best Actor Award, he encountered a series of changes that led to his ban.

Not only did he offend Director Li, he also lost his girlfriend and once fell to the point of setting up a small stall.

However, now that all the hardships have paid off, Liang Jiahui has long since looked down on everything.

He smiled and said indifferently, "No. We broke up a long time ago. After I returned to Hong Kong, Director Li wanted to make me a star, but I was ignorant and offended him greatly. So his daughter hated me for not living up to her expectations and naturally said goodbye to me. My current wife works at a TV station. However, she also likes your performance very much. She is one of your fans. I will introduce you to each other if I have the chance." Everything was explained in a few words.

At this time, Jiang Wen took the initiative to extend his hand and introduce himself to Liang Jiahui.

"Mr. Liang, right? I've heard a lot about you. You were Xiaoqing's former partner. Xiaoqing often said that you were a good teacher and helpful friend, and that she benefited a lot from working with you. My name is Jiang Wen, and I'm Xiaoqing's current partner."

"Oh, hello, hello, it's an honor, don't be polite, we all make a living by acting, let's communicate more."

Tony Leung was also very polite. Not only did he stand up and shake hands with Jiang Wen with both hands, he also introduced a young man next to him to Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen.

"Let me introduce you, this is Xingzai, he is also from Hong Kong, now he hosts a show and also acts in TV series. This time he came with me to the "Crazy Rich Asians" crew to participate in the filming of the movie, his role is the third male, he has more scenes than me. Oh, by the way, his last name is Zhou, and his nickname is Zhou Xingchi, please take care of him."

Hearing what Liang Jiahui said, Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen were both stunned.

Because no matter how they look at it, this person called "Xingzai" has a plain face and no special features.

And he is quite restrained. In such social occasions, he actually appears a little shy and timid.

He seems particularly unconfident and does not look like a promising actor at all.

Especially he cannot speak Mandarin well, and even cannot call people properly.

They are even more puzzled, and do not understand why the "Crazy Rich Asians" crew likes him.

Apart from other things, how can they film with such an actor because of the language barrier?

You know, when they were filming "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" together, Liu Xiaoqin was under a lot of pressure because of the language barrier.

Because she not only had to memorize her own character's lines, but also Liang Jiahui's lines, so that she could continue.

Later, thanks to Liang Jiahui's hard work in learning Mandarin, they were able to communicate normally when filming "Behind the Curtain". Otherwise, Liu Xiaoqin would have gone crazy if she had to film the second drama like this.

However, as colleagues, they should be polite.

Jiang Wen said angrily, "Okay, let's learn from each other. You look young and promising. It's probably your turn to play the leading role in the next movie."

Liu Xiaoqin even took the initiative to shake hands with Zhou Xing, which was like a warm spring breeze, making people feel comfortable.

"Hey, you look young. Call me sister from now on. I'm happy to be called sister. I'll call you Xiao Zhou out of my confidence. You are really a good-looking person."

In the face of the encouragement of these two people, the future "Star Master" blinked and still had a dull expression as if he hadn't woken up and didn't know how to respond.

If this scene is shown ten years later, it is estimated that everyone who sees it will laugh out loud and regard it as a famous scene in the film industry.

But to be honest, this can't be said that Zhou Xingchi doesn't understand the ways of the world, but that he is really not familiar with how to deal with northerners.

Of course, despite this, it doesn't matter.

Because Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqin's focus quickly turned to asking Liang Jiahui about the filming situation, because according to their understanding, today at the wedding site, these crews will be shooting, and some actors have scenes to perform.

For example, Zun Long has been putting on makeup backstage, and will perform a Peking opera with a cross-dressing role of a female martial artist, and Teresa Teng is the same, preparing to go on stage backstage, and the Japanese director and cameraman have already been ready.

Unexpectedly, when they mentioned this topic and just wanted to ask if they could go to the scene to see and observe, they didn't expect Liang Jiahui to start complaining.

"Hey, Xiaoqing, I said that the requirements in the mainland are so strict now. Even when filming here, soldiers are required to supervise? What can we do? Are they afraid that we will plant bombs? Isn't it a bit too much?"

Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen certainly didn't understand what he was talking about. They asked in confusion, "What soldiers? How could it be possible?"

Unexpectedly, Liang Jiahui swore, "It's the soldiers. They came to check before we had time to film. Even the crew members of us had to be driven out from the backstage. Only the leading actors were left inside. If you don't believe it, just watch."

Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen looked in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, there were two figures in military uniforms standing on both sides of the backstage, guarding the passage to the backstage.

And most of the Peking Opera actors and crew members were invited to wait outside. Some people didn't even finish their makeup.

What's going on?

Why is this soldier still wearing white gloves?

This is clearly... a guard.

Could it be...could it be that a certain leader is here too? How can Ning Weimin have such face!

Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqin looked at each other involuntarily, and they both knew that the other person was thinking the same thing as they did.

In fact, this was indeed the case.

Because at this time, there was indeed a person with a higher status than Huo Yanping in the backstage. Under his introduction, he was shaking hands with the famous Asian diva in the dressing room.

If someone saw such a scene, they would directly associate it with the secret contacts of our underground party during the war years.

As for the purpose of their meeting, of course, there was only one - the 1988 Spring Festival Gala.

It must be said that, just like the principle of hiding in the city, Ning Weimin's wedding today and the excuse of filming "Crazy Rich Asians" are really a good trick.

Not only did it hide most of the guests, but also some special people who could not see the good of the Republic and always wanted to hinder the unification of China and obstruct it.
