Chapter 715: Actor Rating
"I have to go on a long trip starting today. If it's fast, half a month; if it's slow, about twenty days. You guys keep the house safe."
Miss Luo Quan and the others stood at the door, saying goodbye to Bai Xingwei and Shen Xingwei who were staying behind.
The actor rating was about to begin, and the exam location was in Jingcheng.
As a judge, Miss Luo Quan had to arrive early to study.
And Wen Xia, Su Yu, and the others, as actors, also had to prepare to take the exam.
Bai Xingwei was a pure singer, and Shen Xingwei hadn't entered the industry yet, so they didn't need to go.
"Don't worry, boss, just go with peace of mind," Bai Xingwei waved her hand with a cheeky smile.
After a two-hour flight, the group arrived at Jingcheng Airport and then took a special car to the hotel where they were staying.
As soon as Miss Luo Quan arrived, she received a text message saying that all the judges participating in the rating would organize a dinner party in the evening, and they hoped everyone could come.
For this kind of dinner party, Miss Luo Quan was perhaps very disgusted.
Because, at a dinner party, it's inevitable to encounter people offering toasts.
If you don't drink the toast, that's not giving face.
This kind of drinking culture, whether among ordinary people or those big shots, is very popular; after all, it has a history of thousands of years.
Although she had always felt that this was a kind of dross and tried her best to avoid attending such occasions.
But this time, it seemed it wasn't easy to avoid.
Just in case, Miss Luo Quan asked if she could bring one or two people.
The answer she got was that of course she could; everyone was bringing people.
In this way, it seemed that this dinner party was not only for the big shots in the film and television industry to exchange feelings, but also a good opportunity for them to bring newcomers to introduce to each other.
So, Miss Luo Quan brought Wen Xia and Su Yu along.
Chunzi and Yun'er, like their boss, didn't like this kind of occasion, so they didn't go.
In the evening, outside the Jingcheng People's Hotel, there were all kinds of luxury cars.
Besides luxury cars, there were also some with very awesome license plates and very ordinary car models.
Those who could drive these were not just something that could be summarized by being rich.
In comparison, the three of them who arrived by taxi seemed a bit shabby.
But there was no way, their cars were all in Shanghai.
Although so many celebrities had gathered, no reporters or paparazzi holding cameras were found outside the hotel.
Miss Luo Quan looked at her phone; the dinner party was on the second floor of the hotel.
"Hello, welcome."
Two receptionists standing at the door discovered Miss Luo Quan and made a gesture of invitation.
The two quickly recognized Miss Luo Quan, their expressions excited, but their professional quality prevented them from directly asking for autographs or photos.
"Oh my, isn't this our great beauty Miss Luo Quan?"
At this moment, a loud voice came from behind.
Miss Luo Quan looked over and found it was Director Jiang Wen and his wife Li Li.
In Director Jiang's movies, one could see his wife's figure, and she was either the female lead or the second female lead, leaving a deep impression on people every time.
"What a coincidence. I thought I arrived quite late, but you are even later than me," Miss Luo Quan greeted Jiang Wen with a smile.
"Actually, I didn't want to come to this party. Those people have organized it so many times; every time it's the same people and the same things, it's annoying to look at."
Jiang Wen waved his hand with impatience: "If it weren't for my wife persuading me, I would still be sleeping at home now."
Li Li looked at her husband with a reproachful look: "No matter what, you are a highly respected person in the circle. What's wrong with moving around more?"
"Highly respected?" Jiang Wen laughed, "Then you really think too highly of them."
Miss Luo Quan raised her eyebrows, thinking, could it be that this director also knew some big news?
But thinking about it, it was normal; in the entertainment industry, how many people were truly clean?
"Say less, don't let those few hear you." Li Li pushed her husband, "You really need to change your big-mouth habit!"
Miss Luo Quan laughed: "Let's go up first. For this dinner party, I've been hungry since I ate the airplane meal at noon."
Jiang Wen laughed as he walked: "Then you've come to the right place. The roast duck here is a must; it's even better than Quanjude.
But as the Huaxia God of Cooking, it shouldn't be difficult for you to make delicious roast duck, right?"
"I know the process, but I haven't made it." Miss Luo Quan shook her head lightly.
"Then you should eat more in a while." Jiang Wen's hearty laughter filled the entire elevator.
Soon, the group walked into the hall where the dinner party was held.
Ten groups of people, nearly twenty tables were set up. When they went in, everyone was already drinking and chatting.
The simultaneous arrival of Miss Luo Quan and Jiang Wen attracted the attention of many people.
"Brother Jiang, come here quickly, we left a seat specifically for you guys." An actor with a small mustache and a face resembling a pig kidney stood up and waved at the crowd.
This was Berlin Film Emperor Miao Fan, who had also appeared as 'Old Three' in Jiang Wen's 'Let the Bullets Fly'.
Miss Luo Quan still had some impression of him; she didn't expect him to look much more handsome offline than online.
To be fair, it's really difficult for this face shape to produce a handsome guy.
"Where is He You? He's the group leader, how can we eat if he's not here?" Jiang Wen looked around after sitting down, but didn't find that shiny bald head.
"He was pulled away to toast, he was just here." Miao Fan was also a bit puzzled; he hadn't seen him for just a moment.
"By the way, will anyone come to toast later?" Miss Luo Quan asked softly, "I can't drink alcohol, is it okay to drink juice?"
Jiang Wen laughed: "Hey, you're a girl, who would force you to drink? If there really is someone, I'll help you scold him later."
Miao Fan also chimed in: "It's not a big deal for ladies to drink some juice. White wine is so strong, let the men handle it."
Hearing this, Miss Luo Quan felt slightly relieved.
"Then let's start eating. Besides us, there's no one else. If it's any later, the food will be cold." Jiang Wen was never a polite person; he picked up his chopsticks and reached for the squirrel mandarin fish in front of him.
"Sister Li, are you drinking red wine or orange juice?" Miao Fan held red wine in one hand and fresh orange juice in the other.
"I'll drink juice too, I don't like drinking." Li Li handed the glass over, then turned to look at Jiang Wen: "You should drink less later too, don't be like a madman, drinking without end."
"Then if someone toasts to my face, I can't not accept it." Jiang Wen smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, I definitely won't get drunk this time."
"Yo, you're all here."
At this moment, He You, who had finished toasting, also returned.
Miss Luo Quan looked over; sure enough, Uncle He's head was the brightest in the entertainment industry, almost catching up to a light bulb.
"I was just saying you were drunk and vomiting in the bathroom." Jiang Wen started teasing as soon as they met.
"This is just the beginning." He You poured white wine directly into his glass, "I wouldn't vomit even if you did. If you don't believe me, let's wait and see today!
Come, let the men go first, ladies do as you please."
Saying this, everyone raised their glasses and drank it in one gulp.
In such a lively occasion, Wen Xia and Su Yu were relatively quiet.
Mainly because they didn't know anyone, so they were relatively reserved.
In the room, most of them were at the top of the pyramid in the entertainment industry; any one of them was a first-class actor or a well-known artist.
Although their traffic online was definitely much larger than these old seniors, their status was much worse.
Among the three, only Miss Luo Quan was at the same level as them, and even higher than some.
It could only be said that she was worthy of being the boss. She didn't feel anything before, but now that she really encountered this kind of occasion, she knew how powerful she was.
So young, her resume was already more gorgeous than many old seniors who had been fighting for many years.
If this goes on for a few more years, would that be it?
Just as they were eating, movement suddenly came from the next table.
Miss Luo Quan put down the roast duck pancake she had eaten halfway and looked over.
The one who caused the movement was Director Ma Er.
Among a group of old directors in Huaxia, he was the most commercialized, and also the one with the worst reputation.
However, in recent years, after losing money on several commercial films, he seemed to have transformed into making art films.
Originally, his big backer was Hua Yi, but after Hua Yi fell, he wasn't liquidated, and even remained safe and sound, which was quite surprising to netizens.
And at today's banquet, Director Ma also performed quite actively, with two young, beautiful, and slender girls by his side.
"These two girls are both studying dance.
This time, there are so many leaders and seniors here, so let the little girls dance for everyone to add to the fun.
They have won international awards, and we usually can't see them singing."
Director Ma grinned very happily, while the two young girls beside him smiled very shyly.
"Do you know those two?"
Miss Luo Quan didn't pay special attention to the domestic entertainment industry and turned to ask Wen Xia.
Wen Xia nodded lightly: "Can't say I know them, but they are newcomers who have come out recently, and they have quite a lot of traffic.
The taller one has worked with Director Ma, and the other one has worked with Director Zhang. Their reputation is fine."
"Falling into the hands of that bunch of guys, can their reputation still be good?" Jiang Wen laughed.
"No need to say that." He You had a very good relationship with Director Ma, but seeing this scene, he didn't know how to wash it.
At a dinner party, letting two little girls dance to add to the fun, what is this?
Not to mention whether it was voluntary, with so many old seniors present, if it got out, wouldn't they be laughed at by many people?
However, Ma Er is just like this; he likes to make friends with people worth making friends with through all means, so he is also called the social butterfly among men.
Being able to handle things on both sides is understandable, but you still have to have some table manners; being too naked makes it look a bit ugly.
Sure enough, among the actors present, someone immediately couldn't stand it.
"Drink when you should drink, eat when you should eat, don't let the little girls go and add to the fun.
If you really want to add to the fun, let's play finger-guessing games, and the loser will go up and sing a song."
As soon as this was said, everyone laughed.
The one who said this was Cheng Daoning, a male actor with a very good reputation in Huaxia, and in today's dinner party, he was also one of the actors with the highest status.
With him speaking out, plus the agreement of a few others, the matter of dancing to add to the fun was just let go.
Interestingly, Miss Luo Quan specifically observed everyone's expressions afterwards.
Director Ma didn't have any special changes and continued to drink and toast.
Those two young female artists looked a bit unhappy.
Could it be that they were unhappy because their good deed was ruined?
If that's really the case, I don't know if it counts as a hell joke.
As the dinner party continued, everyone's faces became redder and redder.
Those who could come to participate in this dinner party were all old people who had been struggling in the circle for many years. Except for a few who had been sick, the drinking capacity of others was quite good.
After drinking for an hour, no one was carried away to rest.
There were even a few with huge capacities who started to toast everywhere with wine bottles and glasses.
Miss Luo Quan's side had many ladies, and those who came to toast used juice.
Fortunately, they didn't encounter the annoying drinking culture this time, and no one had any opinion on them drinking juice.
When they were almost done eating, the person who organized the dinner party also stood on the stage.
It was Director He, who could also be considered an old acquaintance of Miss Luo Quan.
His face was flushed, obviously he had drunk a lot of wine, but his speech was still quite clear: "Everyone, about the actor rating, I have already said it just now.
Here, I want to emphasize to everyone again, you cannot use any form of back door, and you must be objective and fair.
The future of the Huaxia entertainment industry is largely in your hands."
"Don't worry, Director He, if there's a problem, I'll be the one to ask!"
Director Ma was the first to stand up and set a military order, his attitude was unusually positive.
"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved." Director He nodded lightly, and after getting off the stage, he continued to drink.
Miss Luo Quan scratched her head, feeling a bit magical.
The future is in the hands of a bunch of drunks, which is really funny.
I hope these seniors can really be fair and impartial.
After eating the big meal, the three of them returned to the hotel safely.
The first thing to do when returning to the hotel is to take a bath.
Although they didn't drink alcohol, they were covered in the smell of alcohol, which made people's heads ache when they smelled it.
After washing and coming out, Miss Luo Quan found that this dinner party was on the hot search.
But it wasn't a Weibo hot search, but a hot search on some small sites.
It said that at the Jingcheng Hotel, a group of big shots in the entertainment industry gathered.
At the party, Director Ma let a young female artist dance to add to the fun, and there were pictures, videos, and truth.
Although the pictures were a bit blurry and the video sound was very small, you could hear what was being said.
From the angle, it seemed to be in the direction of the second table.
It was estimated that someone who was drinking at the time recorded it, and accidentally put it on the internet.
Once this happened, the small sites were discussing it hotly, and all kinds of words came out.
But you couldn't see any heat on Weibo, Miss Luo Quan couldn't even search for it directly.
Now she understood, it was probably suppressed by someone.
Sure enough, the water in the Jingcheng entertainment industry is still a bit deep.
Drinking is indeed harmful to health, and things happen when you drink.
Although they tried their best to suppress the heat, how could they block the public's mouths?
If you want people not to know, unless you don't do it yourself.
The good deed Director Ma did on a whim finally became known to the whole internet.
Under public pressure, Director Ma chose to soften, posted a long article explaining his state of mind at the time, and apologized to the two actresses.
As for the two victims, they were happy and worried. ===== CHAPTER 716 =====
