Chapter 213: Bazaar Dress, Head-on Competition

Bazaar, how to put it?

You can't purely treat it as a charity activity; its primary nature is entertainment.

Charity is just incidental, but because it has entertainment attributes, the influence of this charity point is doubled.

It can only be said that from another angle, the Bazaar Charity Night still has some merit.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Nan should be busy with the wrap-up work of "Passengers" at this time.

But Liu Yifei's dress made Lin Nan have to work overtime and rush the work, wrapping up the film in advance.

Otherwise, he would feel very uncomfortable!

Lin Nan specially browsed the news yesterday; the celebrity guests at tonight's Bazaar Night were as many as four hundred, which could be called terrifying!

If you ask what Liu Yifei spends the most time

That must be the makeup session before wearing a gown and attending an important event; it's so slow!

But Lin Nan is willing to wait...

Sitting in the garden, waiting for Liu Yifei while scrolling through the news.

Sina is live-streaming the Bazaar event, and there are quite a few new faces this year that weren't there before.

Yang Mi, Feng Shaofeng, Liu Shishi, Wu Qilong... all of them had hit works this year.

Lin Nan couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of Bazaar!"

At this moment, he heard Liu Yifei's voice coming from the villa, sounding quite cheerful.

"Lin Nan, I've changed my clothes..."

Closing his laptop, Lin Nan walked into the villa.

Liu Yifei stood in the living room, holding her skirt with both hands, looking at him sweetly.

"Mm, you are very dazzling today, really." Lin Nan said softly with a smile, feeling a bit mesmerized.

Liu Yifei was wearing an orange-pink, waist-cinching, semi-backless long dress, her skin incredibly fair.

The chest was decorated with floral patterns and sequins, with pink ribbons tied around her neck.

The silk ribbon cinching her waist was tied into a bow at the back.

The gown showcased her perfect figure to the fullest.

Today's accessories were also very simple, with only a diamond-studded bracelet and earrings, giving her an ethereal temperament.

Looking at the whole, the orange-pink gown, which already looked fairy-like, paired with the long, draping skirt, further highlighted Liu Yifei's own fairy-like temperament.

Looking at the makeup, the combination of heavy makeup and a simple, elegant gown focused everyone's attention on her face; her features were exquisite, bright, and grand!

Liu Yifei's gown and makeup today really made Lin Nan feel amazed.

She looked so otherworldly, fairy-like to the extreme!

"Lin Nan, stop staring, hehehe..."

In a daze, Lin Nan came back to his senses, and Liu Yifei was already standing face-to-face in front of him.

The smile on her face was about to overflow, and she said coquettishly: "Hmph, looks good, right?"

As she spoke, she lifted the edge of her skirt and spun around in front of Lin Nan.

The dark gold high heels were a perfect match!

"Looks good, very, very, very good!"

Lin Nan nodded and said from the bottom of his heart.

"Princess, can we set off now?"

"Mm, we can set off, my knight."

Liu Yifei reached out a hand and called out playfully.

The red carpet in front of the hotel was already surrounded by media.

Famous people and stars from the film and television circles across the strait and three regions walked onto the red carpet and entered the hotel one by one.

Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Zhang Ziyi... Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Lu Yi, Tong Dawei...

Yang Shoucheng, Wang Changtian, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Cao Guowei...

Liu Dehua, Zhou Xun, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Miss Jing Tian Tian...

Karen Tsai, Liu Shishi, Wu Qilong... Feng Shaofeng, Yang Mi...

The large number of celebrities and stars made the reporters and fans on both sides extremely excited.

"Haven't they arrived yet?"

Su Mang was a bit anxious; ordinary stars were one thing, but people of Lin Nan and Liu Yifei's level were too important.

"Director Su, they're here!"

A black Mercedes business van pulled up, and Lin Nan was the first to step out.

Seeing this scene, Su Mang finally felt relieved.

On the official guest list, Lin Nan was among the very top.

It seems that if I want to find him in the future, I still have to start from Liu Yifei's side!

The moment Liu Yifei was helped out of the car by Lin Nan, everyone around the red carpet looked over.

"She, Liu Yifei's outfit today is so stunning!"

"This temperament is incredible!"

"Quick, take pictures!"

Su Mang also had a moment of distraction; Liu Yifei was too dazzling today.

"Lin Dao, Yifei, welcome."

"We aren't late, are we?" Lin Nan asked with a smile.

"No, no, you're still early; hurry up and get on the red carpet."

The surrounding reporters were all very excited.

"Lin Dao, Yifei, can you stay for two more minutes?"

A media reporter shouted loudly at Lin Nan.

"Yes, Lin Dao, Yifei, give us some material."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei looked at each other and smiled, staying for a while longer.

Just for this moment, many first and second-tier artists who were behind them on the red carpet were blocked there, not daring to pass the two of them to go in first.

"Sorry, everyone."

"Lin Dao is too polite, it's only right."

Lin Nan held Liu Yifei's hand, having to pay attention to his feet from time to time so as not to step on her skirt.

There were over four hundred seats in the venue, and at a glance, it was full of people; the place was too big!

"Lin Dao, your seats are at the very front..."

"Okay, thank you."

As Lin Nan and Liu Yifei entered the venue, various sounds of greetings and inquiries rose one after another.

Most of them were from the mainland, with only a few from Hong Kong.

Jackie Chan and Liu Dehua were old acquaintances, and Yang Shoucheng brought quite a few people from Emperor Motion Pictures.

Fan Bingbing was excessive; greeting was one thing, but she ran over, and her two hemispheres were too dazzling.

Lin Nan could even feel the murderous aura!

The further forward they walked, the lower the density of people; the tables of ten or eight people in the back gradually became tables of six or four.

Liu Yifei, who was beside Lin Nan, was the focus of many female artists.

"Lin Dao, Yifei."

Yang Mi sat at a table of six and greeted them; Feng Shaofeng was right beside her—Bazaar really knew how to arrange things.

Just now, Lin Nan noticed that Karen Tsai and Liu Shishi seemed to be at a table of six as well.

"Mm, you arrived early."

"Just arrived too..."

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei were in the front row.

The other two at the table of four didn't come; Jiang Wen and Zhou Yun, it was said that it was a last-minute decision, and they flew abroad.

"This seating arrangement today is interesting."

Lin Nan scanned the room and said with a smile.

"What's interesting about it?"

Liu Yifei didn't quite understand, gathered her skirt, and asked casually.

"Those with conflicts are sitting far apart, and those with relationships are all together..."

Li Bingbing and Wendi Deng were sitting very far from Zhang Ziyi.

Fan Bingbing was also far from them, chatting hotly with Huang Xiaoming, and Angelababy couldn't get a word in.

Every top actress seemed to be a mountain stronghold, not interacting with each other.

The bosses of the major companies were the same.

Yang Shoucheng, Wang Changtian, the Wang brothers, and others were all far apart, surrounded by their own people.

"Sister Xun, why not come over? Anyway, Director Jiang didn't come."

Zhou Xun in the distance had a very bad expression; she was now running a studio on her own and was being targeted by many companies.

She was at a table with a few Hong Kong actors at the moment, with no communication at all.

Hearing Lin Nan's words, she immediately beamed and walked over, "Okay, just right to chat with Yifei."

Today's theme was the rescue of abducted children, supervised by official intervention, which had a good meaning.

The auction started, and the dinner was officially served.

Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun were clearly hungry, and neither was polite, but they ate very elegantly.

The first Hermès handbag was snatched up by a group of actresses.

Miss Jing Tian Tian made a big move, spending 500,000 to snatch it from Jiang Yiyan, Huang Yi, and Yao Chen.

The following scenes were interesting.

Zhang Ziyi and Li Bingbing kept bidding and competing;

Yuan Li and Li Bingbing kept snatching;

There was also "constant friction" between Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, Lu Yi, and others.

Yang Zai took a fancy to an oil painting, and an artist from Huayi kept bidding against him!

Huang Shengyi was still the same.

"Bazaar today is interesting, hehe."

Lin Nan bit the steak from Liu Yifei's fork and said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, just fighting for a breath." Zhou Xun held her red wine and drank it in one gulp—she had a huge capacity!

Some people who thought they had high status went on stage to perform for charity, asking everyone to donate, but the result was a slap in the face.

For example, Na Ying.

She sang three songs, and only a few people in the music circle gave her face, donating a few tens of thousands, so she wouldn't be too embarrassed.

"Look, it's Yang Mi from your company."

Zhou Xun was startled, scaring Lin Nan so much that he almost couldn't hold his red wine steady.

Lin Nan and Liu Yifei then reacted and looked back at the aisle.

Yang Mi and Feng Shaofeng were walking onto the stage to perform the song *Love's Offering*.

Liu Yifei and Zhou Xun had both released singles and albums, so they could naturally tell Yang Mi's strength—it was hard to describe!

"In a bit, I'll do it."

Liu Yifei looked at Lin Nan and said with a smile.

Lin Nan lowered his head slightly; there must be many people watching this side right now, after all, Yang Mi was an artist under him.

After the song ended, it was time for everyone to donate.

Liu Yifei was the first to raise the number 8 card, attracting everyone's attention, including the two on stage.

Seeing this scene, Yang Mi's hanging heart was put down.

Soon someone walked over, and Liu Yifei said softly: "200,000."

"I'll do 200,000 too." Zhou Xun held her glass and winked at Lin Nan and Liu Yifei.

"Thank you Ms. Liu Yifei and Ms. Zhou Xun for their loving donations of 200,000 each..."

"Thank you Mr. Huang Xiaoming for 100,000..."

There really wasn't anything they liked among today's auction items, so Lin Nan and Liu Yifei planned to leave directly after donating.

After the auction and charity performances ended, Yang Mi walked over.

"Your song is a bit expensive, haha..."

"Hehe, thank you Lin Dao, thank you Yifei, thank you Sister Xun."

Yang Mi smiled embarrassedly.

"Lin Dao, a toast to you."

"Lin Dao."

Yang Zai held his wine glass and walked over with Huang Shengyi beside him.

After Liu Yifei glanced over here, she continued chatting with Zhou Xun.

"Does President Yang have anything to say?" Lin Nan said politely.

"The premiere of *The Sorcerer and the White Snake* is coming up; I wonder if Lin Dao is free that day?"

Before Lin Nan could answer, he heard a voice from afar.

"I estimate Lin Nan won't have time that day; he has already promised to come with Yifei to attend the premiere of *Painted Skin: The Resurrection*!"

Good fellow, Wang Changtian was tearing off the mask directly, speaking very loudly, and many people around looked over.

Wang Changtian walked over with a smile on his face...

Yang Zai's expression clearly sank, "Lin Dao, is this true?"

Lin Nan nodded with a smile; if these two started fighting here, it would be embarrassing.

"To be honest, it really was President Wang who approached me first. But don't worry, Yue Jun will represent Tianshang Color to attend the premiere ceremony of *The Sorcerer and the White Snake*..."

Hearing Lin Nan's words, Yang Zai also knew there was nothing more to say, "Then thank you, Lin Dao. I look forward to Director Yue's presence, goodbye."

After Yang Zai finished speaking, he took Huang Shengyi and left.

"Little brat, no manners at all; wait until the movie is released, I will..."

"What does President Wang want to do?" Lin Nan looked at Wang Changtian and asked pointedly.

"What do I want to do? I'm definitely going for 'head-on competition'! Haha..."

Wang Changtian laughed very loudly, and many people around heard the words "head-on competition."

They were all curious about what Wang Changtian was saying to Lin Nan right now; could it be that there was another project?

Head-on competition?

Lin Nan felt it was funny in his heart; Enlight Pictures was also a big mountain in the industry, and almost no one could compare in terms of promotional channels.

Even if you killed Lin Nan, he wouldn't believe that Wang Changtian would engage in a serious head-on competition, especially with Yang Zai provoking Enlight Pictures more than once or twice.
