Chapter 59 Celebration Party

When "Best Partner" was released to No.20 in China for eight days, the total box office successfully exceeded 3.6 million, with a slight gap of 200 million higher than the Hollywood blockbuster "Sinking Ship", which has been "suppressed" at the top of the box office rankings in China. .This is also the first time in many years that Huaxia Film has regained the box office title.

On the night when the statistical results came out, the entire Huaxia entertainment circle was boiling.All TV stations and entertainment newspapers put the news that "Best Partner" topped China's box office rankings on the headlines, and the most influential movie magazines and entertainment weekly magazines in China sent interview invitations one after another, hoping to interview at the first time To the "Best Partner" crew, familiar artists in the circle made congratulatory calls as soon as they got the news, and Chinese filmmakers and film lovers wrote films in newspaper columns and on the Internet through various channels, eloquently and eloquently. expressing his excitement. Fans of the main cast of "Best Partner" spontaneously gathered at the gates of major movie theaters across the country, holding the box office record of "Best Partner" in their hands, expressing their pride in their idols with practical actions...

By the next morning, even many morning news rarely broadcast the news that "Best Partner" became the top box office chart in China.For all the people in China, the success of "Best Partner" is not only a victory for a film, but a victory for the entire Chinese film industry. The glorious record deserves to be treated with celebration by all movie enthusiasts in China.

"Best Partner" set a new record at the box office. On the second weekend, Huaxia Emperor Entertainment invested 500 million to hold a huge celebration party.This celebration party not only invited well-known national media and artists in the circle to participate, but also arranged for many artists to be guest performers, and even selected [-] "Best Partner" movie fans and main actors by lottery online Fans also arranged an interactive session between stars and fans at the celebration party.In addition, the entire celebration will also be authorized to broadcast live on Huaxia TV and Huaxia Video Network to ensure that those fans and fans who failed to participate in the celebration will also be able to see the celebration as soon as possible and enjoy this success with everyone joy.

In front of everyone at the celebration party and the live broadcast media, Wei Zhanjie directly distributed 1000 million yuan in dividends to everyone in the name of China Emperor Entertainment, and announced that "Best Partner" will be released worldwide in February.At the same time, the domestic schedule of "Best Partner" will be extended for half a month; under the banner of "higher box office than "Sunken Ship", more passionate than Hollywood gunfight movies", the high-spirited President Wei Da directly attended the celebration party The Internet calls on movie fans who have not seen the movie to enter the movie theater, and don't miss this opportunity to witness the rise of Chinese movies.

President Wei Da's speech was both passionate and sensational, which aroused bursts of applause at the press conference. After successfully leading the rhythm, the high-spirited David directly stepped off the stage and gave the stage to the guests who were about to perform on stage.

A celebration party is held like a company's annual meeting. Crew members eat, drink, and earn money. Media reporters eat, drink, and earn news. Movie fans eat, drink, and watch performances. To be able to interact with idols smoothly, cuddling and hugging, it's simply not too high.

The moods of the other invited artists were more complicated.Some people are sincerely happy for the crew of "Best Partner" and their friends, while others are secretly annoyed why such an opportunity never happened to them. Director Cheng Liang, representatives of Xiangcheng Film Company, and President Wei Zhanjie have a good relationship. I hope that when Director Mai prepares the crew again, he can reserve a role for himself.

Although this kind of social occasion is called a celebration party, after a few glasses of wine, it completely becomes a place to develop contacts.Although Lu Heng is young and has not debuted for a long time, he is one of the two leading actors in "Best Partner", and he is also the candidate for the best supporting actor next year, and he is also a highly praised artist by China Emperor Entertainment.In the eyes of people in the circle, he is naturally very potential and worthy of friendship.

Waves of entertainers came over. As the target of the attack, Lu Heng could only socialize patiently with a smile on his face. In front of him was a table of sumptuous dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, sea cucumber and abalone. Carefully cooked and plated, it looks like a plate of art when it is presented on the table, with a pleasing color, fragrance and taste.

Lu Heng glanced over the dining table from time to time, but unfortunately, everyone around was busy developing contacts and getting to know people who could help him. There were also media reporters taking pictures and videos beside him, and occasionally fans would come over and ask for autographs for group photos... ...The guests at the celebration party also came and went, and everyone's thoughts were not on the dinner table.

Lu Heng had no choice but to secretly swallow his saliva, trying his best to restrain his gaze and attention.

Wei Linxuan, who had been by his father's side all the time to help socialize, managed to get away, and what he saw was Lu Heng standing beside the dining table, talking and laughing happily with the people around him while silently looking at the dishes on the table, his eyes shifting. When I received it, there was a look of eagerness that only acquaintances could detect.Wei Linxuan almost didn't laugh out loud. He walked to Lu Heng's side, raised the champagne glasses in his hands to several entertainers who greeted Lu Heng, and put on a harmless smile. Lu Heng was kidnapped with an excuse.

Seeing the backs of the two teenagers leaving hand in hand, several entertainers said enviously and bitterly: "This Lu Heng is really destined. He can participate in the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film when he just debuted, and the second film will have a big impact." The opportunity to win an award, the third film is even more incredible, his achievements in more than a year since his debut have caught up with others' lifetime efforts."

"The most important thing is that he has a good relationship with the prince of Huaxia Emperor Entertainment. With the company supporting him, do you still worry about not having resources in the future? I think he has to choose the resources of Huaxia Emperor Entertainment."

"How else can we say that people are more deadly than others, and goods are thrown away. Compared with him, our grades are really inferior..."

Lu Heng was taken all the way out of the celebration banquet by Wei Linxuan. Looking at the bustling and noisy banquet behind him, Lu Henghu questioned: "Why are you looking for me? You don't want me to accompany you to the bathroom?"

Wei Linxuan glanced lightly at Lu Heng, not bothering to complain about his ideas.He took the person directly to a private room at the end of the corridor.Pushing the door open, there is no one in the private room, only a variety of dishes are placed on the table, such as Kaiping Wuchang fish, glutinous rice eight-treasure chicken, wine-stuffed quail eggs, steamed crabs, sea cucumbers with green onions, red wine drunk short ribs, keel soup, etc. There is a bowl of steaming white rice.Although the dishes were not as luxurious and exquisite as those at the celebration party, they were all Lu Heng's favorite dishes.

"Is this for me?" At the celebration banquet, Lu Heng was so hungry that he almost cried out, his eyes lit up when he saw the table full of food.He turned to look at Wei Linxuan, and asked expectantly.

A pair of bright Bambi eyes stared at him, and Wei Linxuan immediately had the feeling of taking a shower for three or nine days. Hot warm water was poured from the top of his head, and his whole body was ironed. His heart was stretched. He frowned, waved his hands pretending to be calm, and said, "I know you can't stand the hunger, but I'm too embarrassed to eat and drink at the celebration party, so I specially asked someone to prepare a table for you. You Hurry up and eat two bites, we can't come out for too long."

While talking, Lu Heng had already sat down and started eating with chopsticks. Wei Linxuan took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside him, picked up a chopstick of fish meat and put it into his bowl, picked out the fishbone and gave the fish meat to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng, who was eating sullenly, raised his head with puffy cheeks, quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "Don't worry about me, you can eat too."

"I'm not as hungry as you." Wei Linxuan smiled, and served Lu Heng another bowl of soup, "The keel soup here is pretty good, try it."

Lu Heng nodded again and again, picked up the soup bowl and tentatively touched his lips, the temperature was just right.Lu Heng drank more than half a bowl of soup, soaked the remaining rice in the soup, and ate cleanly with two pieces of chicken and three pieces of pork ribs.

While Lu Heng was eating, Wei Linxuan peeled another crab. The yellow crab paste was mixed with the white crab meat, exuding a mellow fragrance. Lu Heng looked at Wei Linxuan with a little embarrassment, and pushed Pushing the small bowl of crabs, he said shyly, "Eat it yourself."

Wei Linxuan couldn't help laughing, and directly took a spoonful of crab meat and fed it into Lu Heng's mouth: "Don't be polite to me, I see that you have been staring at the crab at the celebration party, and you really want to eat it?"

Lu Heng's face turned red all of a sudden, even the ears were a little red and he retorted: "It's not so obvious, I just took a sneak peek."

Wei Linxuan smiled but said nothing.

Lu Heng hesitated for a moment, but still took the crab from Wei Linxuan's hand, and ate it up in two bites.Lu Heng, who was extremely satisfied after being fed, licked his lips, touched his belly and promised: "You come to my house tomorrow, and I will make delicious food for you, and I will also peel crabs for you."

Wei Linxuan almost laughed out loud, he nodded with widened eyebrows, and said, "Okay, I'll go to your house to eat tomorrow."

He asked again: "Are you full? Let's go when we are full."

It took Lu Heng 10 minutes to eat a bowl of rice.So much so that when the two of them returned to the celebration banquet together, everyone thought they had gone to the bathroom, but they never expected that the two of them would actually go to the private room to eat.

Xu Baoyan looked at Lu Heng, who was more radiant because of the full stomach, and said with a smile: "Lu Heng, you look good, and you seem to be in a good mood."

Lu Heng didn't want to make any troubles, so he said casually: "Celebrate the victory, of course I'm in a good mood."

"Really?" Xu Baoyan twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a pleasant smile: "I thought you were so happy because you heard the news that you were shortlisted for the Golden Crow Award for Best Supporting Actor."

The amount of information in this sentence is a bit large, and Lu Heng asked in disbelief: "What?"

"The news just came that you have been shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor in this year's Golden Crow Awards with the film "Action A". Congratulations." Xu Baoyan said, cupping her hands with a coquettish smile.

Lu Heng was stunned for a moment.

At this time, most of the guests at the celebration banquet came over to congratulate Lu Heng, and Rong Xiu, who was nominated for the Golden Crow Award for Best Actor in another film, also walked over and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations, what a double blessing!" .”

"The movie you starred in became the champion of China's movie box office rankings, and I was nominated for the Golden Crow Award for Best Supporting Actor. Lu Heng, you are really popular this year. You must treat yourself." Director Mai Chengliang I don't know when they came together, and they simply suggested: "Why don't you invite our crew to karaoke after the celebration party is over?"

With the film "A Action", Mai Chengliang, who also won the Golden Crow Award for Best Director and Best Picture nomination, was very excited tonight. He drank two more glasses of wine and simply joked about the younger generation.

After hearing this, Lu Heng was not to be outdone, and said with a pleasant smile: "If you talk about big hits, big hits, and big hits, no one can compare with you this year, Director Mai. After all, you are the director who directed these two movies. So today In the evening, Mai Dao should treat you, everyone agrees, right?"

"Yes, I want Director Mai to treat you~(≧▽≦)~" Xu Baoyan was the first to raise her hand in agreement, and she also urged the actor Wang Zhen to follow suit.

The group made fun of Mai Chengliang. Mai Chengliang smiled wryly and shook his head. He patted his pockets and said generously, "Okay, I'll treat you."

The movement of the crew attracted other people at the celebration party. Artists who felt that they were more familiar with everyone came over and asked if they could join. Of course, Director Mai Chengliang would not refuse.Anyway, the entertainment circle is a big family, as long as one reaches a certain level, one will inevitably enter that circle.Besides, everyone is very familiar with each other, and they have good personal relationships. The only strangers are Lu Heng and Xu Baoyan. The former is an upstart in the film industry that everyone wants to meet, and the latter is a beautiful and popular Huadan, who was originally a second-tier top star. Since the filming of "Best Partner", there is a faint trend of stepping into the front line.

Director Mai Chengliang knew that Huaxia Diyu attached great importance to Lu Heng, and also intended to help him make some contacts, so after the celebration, everyone went directly to K Song.

But this time the K song was not paid by Director Mai. After hearing the news here, Wei Linxuan directly arranged for him to be in the recreation department of Huaxia Hotel, and included all the wine, fruit plate and snacks by the way.After he himself reported to his family, he also came with the large army.The main reason is that he is afraid that Dao Mai, an unreasonable person, will ignore everything once he drinks too much.It would be bad if some scandal broke out and affected Lu Heng's image.

What's the most annoying thing about a co-worker party?

old!plate!also!and!Go!go!La!

Although Wei Linxuan is not the boss of the crew, his family's Huaxia Emperor Entertainment is the producer and investor of "Best Partner". This relationship is much more troublesome than the boss.Besides, in Mai Chengliang's eyes, this little Wei's total stature is much more difficult than his father's.

If Boss Wei can be moved by benefits, then Mr. Wei wants both benefits and people.Take the case of Lu Heng's depression during the filming of "Operation A". Emperor Entertainment made money and praised people, and finally made himself feel guilty and apologized everywhere.It can be seen that although Wei Linxuan is small, he can eat people without spit out bones.

Director Mai Chengliang complained about Wei Linxuan from the bottom of his heart, but he also envied Wei Linxuan's concern for Lu Heng.He has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he has never seen any company that treats artists with such care and attention to detail as China Emperor Entertainment.No wonder the ancients said that childhood sweethearts are childhood sweethearts, so it can be seen that the relationship between the children is different.

Wei Linxuan didn't know that there were so many messy things in Mai Chengliang's mind.When the big guys entered the private room and sat down, Wei Linxuan personally poured Mai Chengliang a glass of wine, which made Mai Chengliang a little flattered.

"I would like to respect Director Mai for this glass of wine. Thank you for supporting Xiaoheng. We had some quarrels for the filming of "Action A". I know that everything you did was for the film. From the standpoint of Xiaoheng’s friend, I have no way to understand you. But today, I can still thank you as Xiaoheng’s friend and half-boss. Thank you for your cultivation of Xiaoheng. Without your cultivation, there would be no Xiaoheng success today."

"I respect you for this cup, I've done it, you can do whatever you want."

What Wei Linxuan said was clear about grievances and grievances.As a friend, he can't tolerate Mai Chengliang's "destroying flowers" to Lu Heng, but as a friend and boss, he is also very grateful to Mai Chengliang for his careful teaching and support to Lu Heng.

After all, there are many opportunities in a person's life that can be encountered but not sought after. If it were not for the strict requirements of director Mai Chengliang, Lu Heng would not have been nominated for the Golden Crow Award for Best Supporting Actor for the role of Dog Ya.Not to mention the regret of hundreds of millions of movie fans across the country, the birth of "Best Partner", a Lunar New Year masterpiece that broke the box office rankings of Chinese movies.

At the beginning, Wei Linxuan was worried about Lu Heng's health, and he was very worried about this matter.But things have passed for so long, and Lu Heng has earned the reputation he deserved, and the honor he deserved. Wei Linxuan felt that he should also find an opportunity to express his attitude to Director Mai.Lest Mr. Mai always have grudges.

Wei Linxuan's words stunned everyone in the private room.

At the beginning, Wei Linxuan almost broke up with Mai Chengliang because of Lu Heng's depression, and flew directly to country T to drag him to country M for treatment. This news and gossip is known throughout China.From the standpoint of bystanders, some of them sympathized with Lu Heng's experience and felt that Director Mai was too cruel to the newcomers, while some of them disagreed.After all, acting is not just playing games. If you put your emotions into the role, it will have some impact on reality.So many artists will see a psychiatrist after filming to adjust their mood.

Under such a general environment, it is very common for Lu Heng to suffer from depression due to filming.Even Mai Chengliang, who was complained by Wei Linxuan, often saw this kind of situation.Facing Wei Linxuan's accusation back then, the only trace of guilt he felt was because of Lu Heng's too young age, not because of the incident itself.

Now that Lu Heng is directly shortlisted for the Golden Crow Award for Best Supporting Actor with the role of Dog Tooth, Mai Chengliang is happy for Lu Heng, but he will inevitably mutter in his heart.

Wei Zhanjie was keenly aware of Mai Chengliang's grudge. As the CEO of China Emperor Entertainment, Wei Zhanjie admired Mai Chengliang as a director.Because there are only a handful of domestic directors who can both win awards and resist the box office.It just so happened that Mai Chengliang had cooperated with Huaxia Emperor Entertainment many times, and everyone got along well.

Wei Zhanjie intends to sign Mai Chengliang for his own use, and Mai Chengliang also wants to find an investor and producer with deep pockets, a keen sense of the Chinese film market and a reliable workmanship. The two sides hit it off after a little discussion.

After Mai Chengliang's management contract was successfully transferred to China Emperor Entertainment, Boss Wei Da felt that working in the same company, it is best for everyone to have no grudges against each other.So he persuaded Wei Linxuan in private to let Wei Linxuan find a way to untie Mai Chengliang's knot.

Wei Zhanjie's words of persuasion to his son were very solid. He knew that someone had to tie the bell to untie the bell, so he said straight to the point in front of his son: "I know you had a quarrel with Director Mai because of Xiao Heng's matter, but after all It's all over, we all have to look forward, and we can't always keep a knot in our hearts."

"Anyway. Director Mai has been kind to Xiao Heng. Xiao Heng made two of his films, one was nominated for Best Supporting Actor, and the box office of the other exceeded [-] million. The film "Best Partner" China Emperor Entertainment is definitely going to make a series. Of course, I hope that the film can continue to use the original cast. Besides, Director Mai’s mainland management contract has also been signed to the company. From now on, everyone will be a family. Er Zuo murmured. You are a smart child, and you don’t want outsiders to think of Xiao Heng as being good-looking when you get an advantage, right?”

The last sentence was a bit heavy, but it really hit Wei Linxuan's seven inches.If it was because of himself or because of interests, Wei Linxuan, who has always been arrogant, would never bow to Mai Chengliang.But once the matter involved his little friend, Wei Linxuan became a little concerned and became chaotic.

That's why Wei Linxuan took the initiative to invite the crew to sing K songs to celebrate after the celebration party, just because he made up his mind to talk about this knot.

Director Mai Chengliang really didn't expect that Wei Linxuan would have a day to bow his head to him, and when he heard Wei Linxuan's sincere words, the vague grievances in his heart disappeared all of a sudden, and he just took a drink and drank it. Jin laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Wei is being polite. I'm already in my 40s, so why would I care about you kids? As long as you don't blame me for being cruel and cruel."

Director Mai's joke made everyone laugh, and Wei Linxuan poured another glass of wine for Director Mai, and said with a smile, "Director Mai, you are an elder, and you will be the same as Xiaoheng from now on. Call me Linxuan."

"Okay, Linxuan, let's go one more time." Director Mai Chengliang clinked glasses with Wei Linxuan in a tongue-in-cheek Yanjing dialect.

The two drank the wine in their cups at the same time, and smiled at each other, with a sense of renunciation in it.
