Chapter 380: Level

~14 min read 2,721 words

The venue for the Zhenhua charity auction gala is still the venue on the Bund in Shanghai; events related to the entertainment industry seem to like to be held here.

With the gradual southward shift of the financial and cultural industries, rich people and celebrities like to settle in Shanghai more and more. However, because the population is expanding too fast, Shanghai has also increased restrictions on local household registration. Now, wanting to become a Shanghainese is not easier than becoming a Beijinger.

Luo Quan does have this qualification, but she feels there is no need at all.

Moving back and forth, isn't it all Chinese household registration? Those who try every means to get into Shanghai household registration are just for the convenience of their descendants to study locally.

Of course, the benefits of local Shanghai household registration are indeed many, and it is one of the most prosperous metropolises in Asia, with lights and wine, which is indeed yearning.

Water flows to low places, and people go to high places; this point is actually understandable.

However, Luo Quan feels that her hometown, Yuzhou, is also very good, and she will likely settle there in the future, so she has no plans to transfer her household registration to Shanghai.

Tonight, the Bund is full of starlight. Along the way, all one can see are luxury cars. Reporters are guarding the red carpet with long guns and short cannons, and the flashlights are working constantly, not stopping for a moment.

At this moment, a roar like a prehistoric beast came from the distance of the road. This is the unique roar that only high-power sports car engines can emit. Before the car was even seen, the sound had already arrived.

However, on this occasion today, sports cars and the like are conventional vehicles. Surrounded by a circle of Maybachs, Bentleys, and Rolls-Royces, any sports car feels instantly a head shorter.

Also because they knew this point, the stars who drove sports cars today were relatively low-key, driving slowly, stopping before, and then the driver driving away slowly.

This person was obviously in neutral and stepping on the gas pedal at a slow speed, clearly wanting to show off.

This immediately attracted the attention of all reporters and celebrities still on the red carpet, wanting to see who was so vain.

Under the focus of countless exclamation eyes, a silver-black Lamborghini drove slowly. The beauty it radiated embodied the top level of human automotive industry. This is a beautiful car that can make all car lovers go crazy.

"It's the Veneno!" Someone who knew the goods immediately stated the identity of this car.

There are only nine Venenos in the world, and there is currently only one in mainland China. The owner is the current hottest international singer—Luo Quan!

If it is Luo Quan, no matter how vain she is, it should be, because she has such qualifications.

The reporters hurriedly raised the cameras in their hands, ready to start work.

Luo Quan is now a famous salted fish in the entertainment industry. The number of times she attends the red carpet in a year is not as much as others' in a week. For such a big occasion, she must be dressed up.

Even a fool knows how beautiful Luo Quan will be when dressed up. This is a living traffic password!

However, just when the reporters were all ready, the Veneno actually drove slowly past the red carpet and into the parking lot.

What is this for? People fell into confusion.

The answer is that Luo Quan drove here herself. Wouldn't it cause congestion if she stopped on the side of the red carpet?

After parking the car in the parking lot, Luo Quan kicked off the flat shoes on her feet and then quickly changed into high heels.

Today, from head to toe, except for the bag in her hand, everything is Chanel.

The dress is a black-purple long dress with double shoulder straps, which is very cool.

It is already very cold in Shanghai at the end of November. It will probably be very cold when she goes out later. Luo Quan carried her bag and headed straight for the red carpet.

There is no rule for signing on the red carpet; you can enter the venue directly without stopping.

However, most stars will not miss this great opportunity to show their faces and will usually stay on the red carpet for a period of time to accept interviews from reporters and media.

After all, there will be big names gathered in the auction venue later, and there are only so many lenses. It is impossible to take care of everyone. For those second and third-tier stars, the red carpet is the best exposure venue tonight.

"Luo Quan, can I interview you!"

"Luo Quan, what do you think of the title 'Oriental Mo Mo Zhate'?"

"Luo Quan, your new album has broken the sales record for Chinese albums. Can you talk about your thoughts?"

"Luo Quan, how do you evaluate your performance at the Shangyi Music Competition a few days ago?"

"Luo Quan, can you talk about your feelings about performing with your brother?"

As soon as Luo Quan stepped onto the red carpet, messy questions and microphones surged toward her. She had a professional fake smile on her face. Although her legs were trembling with cold, she still stopped to answer:

"I don't deserve the title of Oriental Mo Mo Zhate; I'm just a singer who wants to bring good songs to everyone. The album and the competition being able to achieve good rankings are inseparable from the support of the fans. I will continue to work hard in the future.

As for the cooperation with Leon, there is nothing to say. Happy birthday and happy debut anniversary to him!"

After speaking, she turned and walked quickly toward the venue, leaving the confused reporters behind.

Along the way, other female stars were also in evening dresses, most of which were even cooler than Luo Quan's.

In the cold wind, even if she had goosebumps all over, she still forced a smile, showing her most beautiful side, and competing with other female stars.

And those who don't need this bit of traffic, such as Luo Quan, just kept walking forward, wanting to enter the venue quickly to blow the heater.

The level of stars appeared in sharp contrast here.

But even so, reporters were more willing to use lenses to capture Luo Quan's back like a runaway princess.

It can only be said that the traffic of the two is not in the same dimension at all.

"Phew, finally a bit warmer!" Luo Quan stepped into the venue hall, and the incoming heat made her face, which had been stiffened by the wind, have more blood color.

"Hello, please follow me this way." A greeter walked over and said to Luo Quan very politely.

In fact, the hall is separated from the venue by a corridor, and there are very obvious road signs. As long as the eyes are not decorations, you can find the way.

But why is the organizer professional? They hired quite a lot of greeters just to give guests a feeling of being at home.

Arriving at the entrance of the venue, Luo Quan seemed to have entered a second world.

It was noisy here, with smiles and toasts, calling each other brothers.

Here, the old are respected and the young are loved, with old faces leaning against red and green, and faces glowing.

Luo Quan sneezed, the smell of cologne in the air was really a bit rich.

It's really a bunch of local dogs spraying foreign farts. The rate of Chinese people having body odor is the lowest in the world, only 6%. I don't know why they learn from foreigners to spray perfume.

Others are to suppress their body odor. Are these afraid that their smell is not big enough?

In the middle of winter, the ventilation is not so good. It seems that I will suffer tonight.

The venue's location is arranged by the organizer. Luo Quan looked at the location arranged for her in the email... the seventh table from the left in the second row.

First time not sitting in the first row!

Luo Quan was a bit surprised. In the past, whenever she attended any gala or awards ceremony, except for the time when she first debuted last year, she sat in the first row the rest of the time.

So the guests sitting in the first row this time are not simple.

Luo Quan came to her seat and sat down. There was a circle of unopened mineral water and some tissues on the table. Aside from that, there were some decorations, which were really simple.

I don't know if she came too early, but she was the only one at this table.

Before coming, she asked Wen Xia. Originally, Girls' Generation was also invited, but because they happened to have a variety show schedule, they didn't come. Otherwise, Luo Quan could have a companion.

Without acquaintances, Luo Quan could only lower her head and play with her mobile phone.

The Weibo hot search has already appeared the entry about "Zhenhua Charity Auction Gala." Several female stars who came earlier have already been on the hot search, and she is probably coming soon.

In the past, at these galas, when the water army marketed female stars who were dressed up, they would use the adjective "stunning," which had already become rotten on the street.

But since Luo Quan became the most beautiful in the world, this adjective seems to have become her exclusive adjective.

Especially after Liang Yan secretly wore Luo Quan's dress and was mocked by the group, almost no female star would use the word "stunning" to market herself. They all changed to "Super A," "God Face," "Perfect Face," "Cool," "Attack Power"………… etc. If you don't study it, you really don't know what these words mean.

"Hey, Luo Quan!" A voice as dull as thunder and slightly hoarse came.

Luo Quan raised her head and revealed a surprised smile: "Director Jiang Wen!"

The one who greeted her was Director Jiang Wen, who asked her to do the theme song for the movie last time.

Although the two had never met, Luo Quan's impression of Director Jiang Wen's highly recognizable appearance and voice was quite deep.

And for Jiang Wen, there was no need to deliberately understand Luo Quan. Her photos were all over the internet. What kind of recognition is needed for the most beautiful face in the world?

"What a coincidence, you are also sitting at this table?" Jiang Wen sat down in the seat next to Luo Quan.

A table can seat eight people, and the distance between each seat is relatively large.

Luo Quan nodded and smiled: "It's quite a coincidence. I thought a big director like you could sit in the first row. I didn't expect you to sit here too."

"Hey, what kind of big director am I? I just made a few movies that ordinary people can't understand, and none of the box office exploded." Jiang Wen waved his hand and smiled, "Speaking of which, the song you wrote is really good. 'The Sun Also Rises,' the name is also well taken. It feels like it was born for my movie!"

"Haha, you're overpraising. It's a pity my level is not as good as Mo Mo Zhate. Fortunately, you didn't dislike it."

Jiang Wen chuckled: "That's what I said. I was just joking at the time. I didn't expect you to take it seriously.

But one thing to say, your talent is this among the people I know!"

Director Jiang Wen raised a thumb.

Jiang Wen was born in a Beijing courtyard and has always been arrogant and rarely convinced by others. Being able to give Luo Quan a thumbs up can be said to be quite recognized for her composition level.

"You're overpraising. It's all set off by peers." Luo Quan laughed and made a joke.

Jiang Wen laughed when he heard this.

It's no secret that Chinese music is getting worse year by year. If he hadn't been unable to find a suitable person to compose for the movie, Jiang Wen wouldn't have waited until the movie was finished to find Luo Quan.

"Speaking of which, are you also interested in charity? I feel that you are not particularly interested in this kind of celebrity gala." Jiang Wen supported his chin with his palm and asked Luo Quan curiously.

Luo Quan answered in a matter-of-fact tone: "Of course I'm interested. If you make money, you must give back to society.

The ancestors said it well: If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are successful, you should help the world.

In the past, I didn't have the ability and had to rely on government and social relief. Now that I have the ability, I must give back to society. Isn't this justified?"

Jiang Wen smiled softly: "If everyone thought like you, how could there be so many students in China who can't even eat enough."

Luo Quan was confused: "Aren't you also here to contribute your part to charity?"

Jiang Wen leaned back: "It's not my turn to contribute, and I don't need to contribute in this way."

"How so?"

"Spend money to eliminate disasters, you know what I mean, right?"

Luo Quan was first puzzled, then seemed to understand something, but soon asked again: "Are you talking about the first round or the second round?"

There are two rounds in this auction. The first round is the organizer's own collection, and all the proceeds are donated.

The second round is the collection from foreign rich people, and only a small part of the amount is extracted.

"Of course it's the first round. The second round is a serious auction. It is said that there are many good things."

Luo Quan pondered for a while and said: "So this means that rich people come here every year to spend money to eliminate disasters. In other words, the background of the organizer of this Zhenhua charity auction is not small?"

Jiang Wen smiled slightly: "It can be considered giving these unrighteous rich people a chance to spend money to buy peace of mind. Instead of transferring money abroad, it is better to donate some money to charity every year, and you can also get a good reputation."

Luo Quan sneered: "I thought there were really such conscientious capitalists in this world. I didn't expect it to be just a puppet."

However, this puppet is still very necessary, at least some money can be squeezed out every year.

"By the way, is this protection fee something every rich person present has to pay?" Luo Quan suddenly became curious, "I see that there are many rich people here this time. If the money is not enough and you can't outbid others, what should you do?"

"There is an indicator. If the donation reaches so much within a few years, if you don't bid this time, you will do it next time. If it really doesn't work, just donate hard. As long as you want to do charity, there will always be a way."

Luo Quan nodded: "That's true."

It was really unexpected that this Zhenhua charity auction actually had the government as a backer behind it.

But it is also true that without a backer of this level, it is impossible to invite so many star rich people every year, and it is impossible to have so many precious collections.

It's just that I don't know if these collections are really valuable. If they are all modern imitations, then it can only be said that the organizer is too cunning.

But even if it is fake, the rich people who are invited still have to send money.

Looking at the big-bellied rich people around, Luo Quan sighed deeply.

Compared with the assets of these people, what is the bit of money donated? The highest price auctioned at previous charity galas was only more than 10 million.

Moreover, I don't know if this money can really reach the people who need it. ===== CHAPTER 381 =====
