Top of the big era

The Hong Kong government was once the center of Asia's entertainment industry, known as the Hollywood of the East. The momentum back then was really as powerful as a tiger, devouring the entire Asian market.

Now times have changed, and the Hong Kong government’s entertainment status has plummeted. But the people are still the same people as before. If they are asked to step down from the position where they were high and pointed the country, and show favor to the "nouveau riche" from the north, they will definitely feel bad about their face.

In order to make a living and make money, producers, directors, and actors can lower their faces and go north to develop their careers, and say some unflattering words. But some wealthy families cannot do such a disgraceful thing.

Perhaps this is the reason why they boycott Chengtian Entertainment and Jieyu Media.

Zhou Buqi made a simple guess.

Didn't pay too much attention to it.

Human nature.

Now that Golden Harvest has been acquired by Chengtian, Jieyu Media has also come to Hong Kong to develop with great enthusiasm. There is a strong momentum that mainland capital will enter the market and destroy the local entertainment industry.

This is going to change!

If you want them to be willing to accept failure, it's not surprising that they have some mental problems.

After hearing what Wu Kebo said, Zhou Buqi acted relatively calmly and said with a smile: "You've already come, why are you leaving? We came here to donate money to children in poor areas in the mainland, not to vent our anger. Let's go, Go upstairs!"

Wu Kebo was determined.

To say that there is only one Mr. Xu Baihui and Mr. Xu, he may still feel uneasy, feeling that a female figure may not be able to withstand the pressure. But Mr. Zhou is different. What kind of big boss is he? It may not be easy even if Li Jiacheng comes!

The four major "Su, Huang, Michai" families who organized this charity auction might have been able to influence the Hong Kong government thirty years ago, but after so many years, their influence has long been gone. Otherwise, it would not be reduced to running a charity auction as a business and taking the donated money without conscience.

Zhou Buqi was light and calm and didn't care.

After going upstairs, the waiter directed me to the left corner of the auction hall, near the door. No wonder Wu Kebo didn't even sit down and went downstairs to leave.

This position is indeed both embarrassing and conspicuous.

At the door, you can see it as soon as you enter.

Moreover, the layout here is a bit like the American Golden Globe Awards banquet. It is in the form of a round table banquet. There are a total of 30 tables in the auditorium.

The tables are not big, about five or six people per table.

In the front row are some wealthy people, and in the middle are celebrities who are cheering. Now, almost all the celebrities are here, and the seats are full. But the rows at the back were sparse.

Especially Zhou Buqi's table, with seven or eight empty tables nearby, looked particularly eye-catching, giving the impression of being isolated.

This is nothing.

There is delicious food on the table.

The other tables all had Hong Kong-style platters of desserts, candies, cakes, fresh fruits, etc., paired with red wine. This table is different, there is a complete range of chicken, duck and fish, and there is also a bottle of Maotai!

For those who didn’t know, they thought this was a banquet set up by a family in the countryside to marry a daughter-in-law!

Ah!

Quite hearty.

Steamed fish, whole chicken, fatty pork belly and many hard vegetables on the table!

At first glance, it was deliberately staged to humiliate people.

Wu Yu was originally in the mood to watch the excitement and laughed and didn't take it seriously, but he was also shocked by this scene and gritted his teeth, "It's so... so bullying!"

Xu Baihui cursed angrily, "These bastards!"

Zhou Buqi looked indifferent and said calmly: "Everything has been arranged, then take a seat. Again, we are here to donate money, not to eat."

With that said, he was not polite and sat down at the center of the table facing the rostrum. Wu Yu and Yang Mi were next to him, and Xu Baihui sat next to Yang Mi.

Wu Kebo really couldn't do this with such ease, but boss Zhou took the lead, so he couldn't refuse, so he could only pull his female companion and sit down.

There was a number plate marked "30" on the table. This was indeed the last table in the room.

There are five people in total, Zhou Buqi, Wu Yu, Xu Baihui, Wu Kebo and Tang Yan. There is still one empty seat and they are basically seated.

Wu Kebo felt uneasy inside.

I felt the eyes of the surrounding people scanning over me one after another, and my face felt hot. The eyes of those Hong Kong and Taiwan stars were very strange, and they were joking and chatting, making it feel like watching a show.

Wu Yu asked in a low voice: "Husband, it's so embarrassing."

Zhou Buqi didn't take it seriously, "It's embarrassing or not, other people's opinions are not that important. I think this place is quite good, this is the most sumptuous table."

Wu Yu rolled his eyes.

Wu Kebo looked very embarrassed and praised: "Mr. Zhou is indeed a big shot, the situation is just different."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "The Charity Association is not a competition platform, there is no need to be familiar with them."

At this time, two waiters bent down and welcomed a group of people enthusiastically. The one in the center is a young man, about 27 or 28 years old, surrounded by a group of other people, some in their thirties and forties, some even in their fifties and sixties. Judging from their temperament... they should also be businessmen. .

Not surprisingly, the young man in the middle is the so-called son of a wealthy family, and the followers next to him are the little bosses who follow the wealthy family and drink soup.

Sure enough, Zhou Buqi heard Xu Baihui's voice introduce, "He is from the Huang family. Emperor Entertainment is invested by his family, and Yang Shoucheng also has to give face."

"Um."

Zhou Buqi remained motionless and did not shy away, looking at the group of people casually. I feel that this is indeed a capitalist society, and the class distinctions are so obvious!

When they passed by this table, they didn't know what to say, and they couldn't understand much Cantonese. Anyway, they just burst into laughter with extremely contemptuous eyes.

Looking at the other side, almost all the celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan present have stood up collectively. The big names came up to say hello, while the less famous ones could only smile and greet from a distance.

What a lively and peaceful scene!

"The rules are quite strict." Zhou Buqi praised.

Yang Mi couldn't stand this kind of discrimination anymore, and snorted coldly: "It's like a funeral. Is there a death in his family? Everyone stood up and paid silent tribute."

Zhou Buqi said amusedly: "Don't be so mean."

Yang Mi pursed her lips and said unwillingly, "They went too far."

At this time, another group of people came.

According to the introduction, it was from the Cai family, who were the big bosses behind Golden Harvest Pictures back then. Later, the family business declined and they were sold to Wharf.

The style is almost the same as before.

Seven or eight big-bellied middle-aged people appeared, surrounded by a young man in his early twenties, who looked very arrogant. The Young Master of the Cai family seemed to be even more arrogant, his expression becoming more and more contemptuous.

At this time, Wu Kebo couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to be a deserter. He stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, they have some relationship with Jiahe and have a few acquaintances. I'll go over and say hello to them."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said, "Whatever."

Then Wu Kebo got up and ran away. He didn't come back for a long time. When he looked up again, he found that he had found a table in the front row and sat down. I don’t know what kind of benefits were promised or what benefits were given away. In just a few minutes, I got the deal and sat in the front row.

Xu Baihui sneered and said, "Mr. Wu has a good trick!"

Zhou Buqi was also a little surprised, "It seems that Mr. Wu wants to put his business center on the Hong Kong government side in the future. The business on the mainland needs to be handed over."

Wu Yu smiled and pointed at himself, "Mr. Wu is here."

The most embarrassing person was Tang Yan who was present, a little ashamed. But she was unfamiliar with this place, and she couldn't speak Cantonese, so she could only stay here honestly.

Fortunately, she and Yang Mi knew each other. They had just filmed "Sword and Sword 3" together a while ago, so they were able to talk together.

Zhou Buqi asked: "How come the Huang family and the Cai family are sending young people out?"

Xu Baihui said: "This is the third generation. The first generation is either dead or has retired behind the scenes. These big families are now the second generation. In some small things, they are all from the third generation." Young people are coming out to do it.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "No wonder, a playboy can do such unsavory things."

No matter what the level of the second generation is, as long as they are a little older and have some experience, they will not be able to do this kind of thing.

Xu Baihui was very dissatisfied, "Boss Zhou, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Buqi was a little strange, "What's wrong?"

Xu Baihui said: "You can't just be looked down upon by others, right? You are a big boss and you don't care, but I am just a small boss in the entertainment industry. There are so many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities present. If this matter is not settled today, my name, Xu Baihui, will be here Hong Kong and Taiwan have become a joke.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Yes."

Xu Baihui became happy and said, "Yes, then you should act quickly!"

"What do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple, let your friends come over to the town! Su Huang Mi Cai has been eliminated by history long ago. The four major families now are two, Li Zhengfeng, and Zheng Guo. This 'Li Li Zheng Guo' is The four richest and most popular families. You should know them, right?"

"Well, I know people from the richest people, the Li family and the Guo family."

"That's right, invite their people over." Xu Baihui was very happy and lowered her voice, "Today's charity auction is commissioned by Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch."

Zhou Buqi became cautious. This is the real governor of Hong Kong, the person with actual control. "If this is the case, all the celebrities in Hong Kong will have to give face to participate."

Xu Baihui said repeatedly: "Yes, everyone needs to be present. The principals of the Li family and the Guo family may not be present, but they must have sent people over. You make a call and ask people from the two families to come over and help us solve the situation. .”

Zhou Buqi felt a little helpless, "Just for such a trivial matter, you have to waste my favor."

Xu Baihui hummed: "It's not a trivial matter! Wu Yu, do you think it is a trivial matter?"

Wu Yu quickly shook his head, "No, it's very important."

Xu Baihui looked at Yang Mi again, "Mimi, what do you think, do you want your godfather to take action?"

Yang Mi pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay."

Zhou Buqi had nothing to do with them, and sighed, "Okay, I'll make a call. Don't blame me if it works. Isn't it just a table ranking? How can it be so important?"
