Chapter 177 The first head-to-head confrontation
The invitation letter for the dinner was also with Xia Li, but fortunately, since Lu Zhi accidentally announced his identity by Bai Qingqing last semester, he has been a celebrity in the circle and his popularity has always been high. Even if he doesn't take the invitation letter, he can still use his face to scan his face.
After entering, he went straight to the topic, greeted the organizer, and told them that he was here.
The organizer is a well-known magazine in the industry. It claims that the circulation volume exceeds 100 million per month. Although I don’t know if it is really over 100 million, what is certain is that the influence is indeed very large. In the past few years, the paper media encountered underestimation in development, and the magazine also moved from offline to online at the first time. Every report will trigger a craze. No one dares to provoke them easily in the entertainment industry, the gaming industry or the business industry.
Lu Zhi found Su Rui, the editor-in-chief of the magazine and the founder of this media group, and reached out to him and said, "Editor Su, for the first time I met, I am Lu Zhi, the president of Erxiang Group."
Su Rui was wearing a suit and leather collar, with a friendly smile, shook hands with Lu Zhi, and said, "Mr. Xia called me this morning to apologize, saying that he was unwell and could not come over. Unexpectedly, President Lu came over in person." He paused, looked at Lu Zhi up and down, and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Lu had such a thing at such a young age. I was talking to investors about your new project, and your eyes were also poisonous. The one I praised Shen Bingqing recently is the type that is most lacking in the film market now. We are looking forward to your next move."
Lu Zhi said modestly: "Editor Su is too proud. The reason why Erxiang can have today is inseparable from the foundation laid by Wang Mingyu in the early stage. I just took the ride."
"Haha, Mr. Lu is modest." Su Rui smiled and looked at Lin Momo beside him. He knew that Lin Momo was Lu Zhi's girlfriend, but he seemed to be just an ordinary college student. He was a little restrained in such an occasion and couldn't let go. He didn't say anything to her, but just smiled at her.
Lin Momo also felt his kindness, so he smiled slightly.
"Editor Su, you are busy, so we won't disturb you." After Lu Zhi said to him, he took Lin Momo to find a seat.
He could feel that Lin Momo seemed to be a little uncomfortable with such occasions. He should not take her to say hello to others, but took her to find a corner to sit down and wait for the charity party to begin.
By the way, I looked at the people here. He knew almost all the investors. Even if he had no communication, he had followed their circle. Most of the investors were centered on Mr. Wang and chatted with a smile.
There are groups of people in the film and television industry, some celebrities are chatting with directors, and some are bringing producers, which looks very lively.
Then Lu Zhi also noticed some people who looked familiar but couldn't get a name. Most of them were internet celebrities who have emerged recently. Their faces looked similar, and he couldn't tell who was who. He saw Zhao Jiayu's ex-girlfriend, and followed a rich second-generation. He also saw a little star who was originally an internet celebrity in the e-sports circle and later successfully transformed, and was also very active.
Lin Momo was a little nervous, but also felt that Lu Zhi had been here for a long time and seemed to be not good. He struggled for a while and asked, "Senior Brother, do you want to talk to investors? Sister Yu said that their resources are very important..."
"It's okay, they are not fools. I will invest in our faces by saying a few good words. It's not like we can just say something to make us feel good." Lu Zhi held Lin Momo's hand, put her hand on his legs, and whispered: "I'm sorry for you when you come to this kind of occasion, but I don't want to come alone without you. If there are any such things in the future, I'll push you."
Lin Momo was moved, and Lu Zhi really thought about her everywhere.
She looked at Lu Zhi and shook her head: "It's okay, I'm not ignorant either. Just go to social engagements if you need to participate in in the future."
"Silly, I say this because I am not happy to socialize myself." After he said that, his eyes looked at Shen Bingqing who was talking to a director not far away. She was so shining. Not only were there filmmakers around her, but there were also a few big bosses who didn't look like good people. Not far away, he looked at her.
"Shen Bingqing is a good player in social engagements, but now she is still a bit embarrassing to come out for social engagements..." Lu Zhi said to himself,
After all, I just released an MV and didn’t even have any other works. I don’t have a high position in Erxiang. Whether it is a star or a representative Erxiang, it is somewhat ineligible.
Lin Momo also looked back. Shen Bingqing was elegant and generous, not like a student who had not graduated yet. Compared to her, I don’t know how many times he matured...
While the two were talking, Shen Bingqing seemed to have finished speaking with the people there. She began to look around, as if she was looking for something, and then her eyes were frozen at Lu Zhi and Lin Momo sitting in the corner, and walked slowly with a smile, sat next to Lu Zhi, and greeted them.
"Mr. Lu, Captain Lin, you are here too, why are you sitting here?"
She smiled insanity. Although Lin Momo didn't feel anything, she couldn't show anything.
Lu Zhi stretched out his hand and gently hugged Lin Momo's shoulders and said to Shen Bingqing: "Momo felt a little uncomfortable, so I'm here to accompany her. If you have any interesting celebrity directors, you can get to know them by yourself, and you can get to know them from other entertainment companies. Don't think about us, it doesn't matter."
"That's not good either. Our Erxiang's master is sitting here. I, a little newbie with an injustice, is not good for being a little newbie." Shen Bingqing glanced at Lin Momo and asked with concern: "Momo, why are you feeling uncomfortable? It's a bit windy at night. I see you are wearing very little clothes. Is it cold?"
It feels uncomfortable to see you...Lin Momo complains.
However, Shen Bingqing didn't care about her. She was decent and generous everywhere and did not rude anywhere.
Lin Momo replied politely: "I guess it's not, but I'm too tired today. I'll just take a break."
"Captain Lin is very dedicated. E-sports training must be very hard. I am so tired that I can accompany Mr. Lu to attend the party. If there are excellent employees in the company, it will definitely be yours." Shen Bingqing praised.
Lin Momo smiled and said nothing.
At this moment, Su Rui came over again and said to Lu Zhi: "Mr. Lu, there is a link tonight, which is to bid for a priceless red wine. You need to serve as a guest to help us host it, and just liven up the auction atmosphere. I have told Mr. Xia before, but Mr. Xia did not come. I wonder if she had told you?"
......Xia Li didn't tell him anything. This person was really avenged. Fortunately, Su Rui came over and said, otherwise he would just call him on stage and he would not have any preparations. It would definitely not work.
But Lu Zhi still says good things about Xia Li here, otherwise others will know that the relationship between Erxiang and the two bosses is not good, and it will definitely have a negative impact if it is spread.
He nodded quickly and said, "Charlie told me that I'm ready."
"It's true, then it depends on your performance." Su Rui said and left with a smile.
Then the party officially began. Lu Zhi was glad that he was not the first guest to host on stage. He could see what others did without any preparation and adapt to the situation later.
The first item to be auctioned was a Qing Dynasty vase donated by a folk artist. The donation will be used for international rescue, helping children who have been displaced by war in a country in the Middle East recently.
The host is Shi Tongtong, the daughter of Mr. Shi, who is Zhang Tao's second marriage. After they divorced, Shi Tongtong began to walk around. It is estimated that her father Shi Xiuyi had given up finding a capable and obedient husband for his daughter to inherit Dongfang SG, and directly let Shi Tongtong come out.
Finally, the product was sold for 6 million yuan. Su Rui came on stage to thank the stars who participated in this link, and invited Lu Zhi to come on stage.
Compared to Shi Tongtong, Lu Zhi is just a young man, but fortunately his ability is obvious to all.
He was not frightened at all and invited some celebrity artists to the stage to fight according to the process, mainly to activate the auction atmosphere.
The game was about to begin, but suddenly someone raised his hand, and the staff handed him the microphone. He teased and said, "Mr. Lu, you two leading actresses, Xia Li and Shen Bingqing, are not on the stage, they are not sincere."
Lu Zhi recognized that this person was the president of a real estate company and a typical nouveau riche. When Shen Bingqing was talking to someone else just now, he saw this person looking at Shen Bingqing with a thief. He probably wanted to do what he wanted to do.
After the man said that, many people started to cheer, and Su Rui also said: "Xia Li asked me for leave today, and I really couldn't get there, but Mr. Lu brought Shen Bingqing over here. Can we invite her to the stage?"
Then, warm applause burst out in the audience.
Shen Bingqing was not shy, but stood up and walked up to the stage openly. She was not humble and went straight up to stand among many stars, which was the legendary "C position". It is said that only big names can stand at this position.
Lu Zhi was slightly confused. Shen Bingqing was very ambitious. He liked the employees of his company who were ambitious and even began to applaud Shen Bingqing in his heart. But at this time, she could only come here to serve as a foil because except for her, all the celebrities behind him were from the same entertainment company. They might have discussed who to let him stand out. It is probably the person who was originally standing in the C position and is now squeezed aside by Shen Bingqing. She is the person who has put all his efforts into supporting the entertainment company recently.
Then this round of fighting skills began, the process was to sing and dance. After that, the bosses who might pay for money were encouraged to pay for the bottle of red wine.
Everyone knows it. After the first few performances, the people who are motivated are those with not top-notch financial strength, and they want to leave the last chance to make the final decision for the person who wants to make a name for themselves.
As a result, Shen Bingqing sang before the newcomer. After singing, her eyes swept around the audience and then fell on Mr. Wang's head. She smiled slightly and said to him: "Mr. Wang, otherwise you can add another five million and buy this bottle of red wine?"
As soon as she said this, the star who had not started performing later was almost inadequate to control his expression.
Lu Zhi was also slightly surprised... I don't know where Shen Bingqing got the confidence, so he always asked for money when he went to Lao Wang.
A little star who knows a little bit should also know that Lao Wang always has to make the finale.
