Chapter 475 Auction Reception

The banquet hall of Shangri-La Hotel is not very large, about 70 meters long and about 25 meters wide, and can provide banquet needs of about 600 people. From the exhibition board next to it, it can be found that the banquet hall can provide four meeting banquet methods, including theater, cocktail, banquet, classroom, etc., and today's charity auction adopts the cocktail ceremony, in order to avoid the auction time being too short.

The main purpose of the charity auction is to connect with feelings. The first is a social cocktail party. Only after everyone completes the social activities will the charity auction start. The funds raised by today's charity auction are for tree planting and afforestation activities in a northwest province. The funds will be directly used to hire families below the poverty line to work hard, so as to achieve a win-win goal.

Wan Yichen took the person in and ignored him. He had to continue guarding the gate, so Liu Jinpeng took Ling Xiaoxuan in. On the way, Ling Xiaoxuan did not forget to inquire about his details: "Brother Peng, when I first saw you, I thought you were a star. You are so handsome, I am afraid that many people will misunderstand it."

Liu Jinpeng smiled hypocritically: "Where do I think you are like a celebrity? I am usually busy with business, have no time to care about the entertainment industry, and have no interest in becoming a celebrity."

Refusing to fail, Xiaoxuan continued to indirectly attack: "Brother Peng, Brother Wan said Mr. Zhu is also stumbling with you, so do you know Gao Xiaoxia and Hailan, right?"

Liu Jinpeng pretended to be confused and was first-class: "Ah, I don't have much impression of these two people. Zhu Lin has too many friends, and I'm not familiar with many of them."

"You are really good at joking," Rei Xiaoxuan smiled sweeter, half of her body pressed against Liu Jinpeng's arm, "President Zhu often talks about you. They are now going to Los Angeles, one step closer to Hollywood."

Liu Jinpeng couldn't pretend anymore, and suddenly realized and said, "So they were those two people. I have a little impression of it. Is Hollywood that good? You all want to go so much, what exactly do you want to do?"

Ling Xiaoxuan is also a smart person. She knew that she could only be moved by sincerity with this big boss, so she sighed and said, "Isn't it just for everyone to pay attention to? We are stars. In fact, they are senior actors, and they have to act in front of others. Ah, Brother Peng, I'm sorry."

Liu Jinpeng chuckled and said, "It's okay, you have difficulties in living in the world."

Let Xiaoxuan frown gently and lower her head and said, "I was not acting just now, I just felt a little emotional. Maybe I have been under too much pressure recently."

Liu Jinpeng nodded without saying a word. He saw that there were not many people on the court. Wan Junli was talking to two or three guests of similar age, while the other guests gathered together in groups of three. The banquet did not start. He went directly to the banquet. This form similar to a self-service cocktail party has been seen by Liu Jinpeng many times.

According to Zhu Lin, those who participated in this charity auction were basically insiders in the film and television industry. At present, as Liu Jinpeng knew, he is a so-called domestic famous director. This famous director has filmed several luxurious big productions before. Although he was criticized by film critics, he still made money at the box office and did not lose money. This is a miracle.

Ling Xiaoxuan is an unknown person on the court. Only she knows others, but no one knows her, which shows how embarrassing her status. Speaking of which, if she really has a little status, she would not be able to attend as a female companion or a male companion, and she could get an invitation letter directly.

Liu Jinpeng is also an unknown person on the court. When it comes to translators, most people know about Titanium Star Group, but few people know about Titanium Star Group. When it comes to the helmsman of Titanium Star Group, almost no one knows it. He was also happy to be idle. He took advantage of the lunch and picked food near the dining table. Xiaoxuan was also a little disappointed. He saw that Wan Yichen attached so much importance to this man, but after he came in, not many people knew him. I really don’t know what was going on.

Liu Jinpeng’s eating and drinking without regard for his image made Xiaoxuan very embarrassed. And the guy didn’t forget to ask her: “Why don’t you eat? The chefs here are good skills. Look at this sweet wine, hibiscus roasted silver cod, the taste is long and it is a rare delicacy.”

Let Xiaoxuan look around and find that no one is watching here. She also took the opportunity to get a plate of roe, hibiscus, and this bird's nest porridge is also added with hibiscus, which has a good effect of nourishing the skin and clearing heat. Liu Jinpeng did not eat these soups and dishes, and specially picked meat. There are many meats here, and the method is more Cantonese, probably because the hotel executive chef is a Cantonese master. After eating, he found that there were two best dishes, one was Zhujiang honey sauce char siu pork, and the other was a special five-spice beef exhibition. The beef exhibition is a muscle with tendons on the legs of the beef.

Not long after they ate, a group of people came in outside. The number of people in the hall exceeded 200, which became obviously noisy. Wan Yichen also had time to come over to see it. He also brought a star that Liu Jinpeng knew, which made Xiaoxuan recognize at a glance, and she did not forget to poke Liu Jinpeng and signal someone to come.

Liu Jinpeng put down the plate, picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth and hands, and shook hands with Chen Dan with a smile and said, "The big star is here, congratulations." He congratulated Chen Dan for winning the Most Popular Star Award at the Puhai Film Festival in June this year. Chen Dan was also smiling from ear to ear and said humbly: "Where is it, it's thanks to the support of many friends including Boss Liu. Boss Liu must not praise me again."

In public, Chen Dan is elegant, but everyone in the circle knows that once he goes on the set, the big-name martial arts star's temper is so bad that everyone can't stand it. Fortunately, Liu Jinpeng doesn't have to stay on the same set with Chen Dan, so naturally he has never seen this scene. After a while of greeting, Chen Dan was guilty and left. He still had to deal with a bunch of directors and producers.

Chen Dan's female companion is the supporting actress in "Sealing the Flag" filmed this year when he was director. Liu Jinpeng no longer remembers her name. She only remembers that this woman plays the kind of female role that drags her back in the film, from the beginning to the end of the film. Xiaoxuan is very jealous of her and mutters: "If I were to do with me, I can't be worse than her."

Moreover, Ling Xiaoxuan was also very curious. Didn’t Liu Jinpeng claim that he didn’t care about the entertainment industry, so why did he know such a big brand? Wan Yichen was very impatient with Ling Xiaoxuan’s excessive talk and replied: “Brother Peng invited him and Schwarzenegger when he was filming an advertisement. That’s how I met you. I said, don’t be so curious, can you lose me?”

Xiaoxuan was so scared that her face turned pale. She shook her head and said in a bad way. Liu Jinpeng always cared about her and said lightly: "Okay, it's normal for a little girl to be a little curious. You're fine now, where do you need to report to your father?"

Wan Yichen didn't eat much at noon, so he picked up a piece of char siu and said, "It's not over yet. I'll come to see you after I'm done with it later. I have something to tell you, don't rush to leave."

After Wan Yichen left while chewing the char sauté, he whispered to thank Xiaoxuan and said, "Let's go there. The guests who came today have to hand over the auctioned items there for unified management, and they still have to register." The only item Liu Jinpeng brought today was the jade dragonfly. The thing was still there in Linlin. He went back to get the box containing the jade dragonfly and turned to register.

The jade dragonfly looks vivid and it looks like a living dragonfly in the box. Xiaoxuan is a little envious when she sees it. She has seen something similar, but she doesn't have the workmanship. After registering, Liu Jinpeng has to talk to the actors according to Zhu Lin's requirements. When Xiaoxuan learned that Los Angeles needed supporting roles and extras, she was also moved.

Xiaoxuan knows the acting skills of Gao Xiaoxia and Hai Lan very well. It is probably similar to her own, and the only thing she lacks is luck. Many secrets in the industry seem to be foggy to outsiders, but it is really not difficult for insiders to know. For example, when Gao Xiaoxia was studying at Pingjing Film Academy, she had an affair with someone, but later the relationship changed. The man is now a top-tier domestic star, while Gao Xiaoxia can only take on some embarrassing roles at the third-rate level.

Not to mention Hai Lan, she often has scandals with her acting rivals, and her purpose is nothing more than hype. Moreover, a few days ago, someone saw her delivering soup to the producer on the crew, calling it a trial maintenance soup for everyone to taste, but no one except the producer and the director seemed to have the chance to taste her soup.

Ling Xiaoxuan is not a rookie, but Liu Jinpeng is not in close contact with the entertainment industry. She dares to say something evil, and to be honest, it is also a good way to get close to people. Liu Jinpeng actually doesn't care about scandals and other things, but it's good to listen to fun when he's fine. He's not afraid to say sad words: "It's not that you can't go to Los Angeles, but they have to audition. If it doesn't work, you'll go there for a waste, it's not cheap."

The direct flight from Puhai to Los Angeles is more than 3,000 US dollars, which is a huge burden for novice actors who do not have much formal income. If they are not selected, they will have to take a few hundred dollars even if they come back. They will lose a lot of money and spend time.

Of course, since Liu Jinpeng got rich, he has been in first class or business class. The first class directly to Puhai and Los Angeles is estimated to cost tens of thousands of dollars, which is not something Xiaoxuan can afford.

But Xiaoxuan really thought it was a good opportunity. It was a pity to let it go. Moreover, the relationship between people was always formed. She already felt that Liu Jinpeng was not as superior as a rich man and was easy to get along with. With such an opportunity, she would definitely want to fight for it. Even if it was a relationship with them, it would be worth it.

Liu Jinpeng advised him a few times and found several actors booked by Zhu Lin on the court to talk about it. Some of them didn't want to go to Los Angeles. The difference is that some of them were not very famous and wanted to make a name for themselves, but it would be embarrassing if the audition failed; while the famous people felt that there were many opportunities and they were not necessarily willing to join this kind of straw troupe.

But finally, three were agreed upon, and the remaining four were not allowed. Liu Jinpeng found a few more famous ones, and finally got 6, including Ling Xiaoxuan, which was 7 people, which had exceeded Zhu Lin's request.
