Chapter 168: Driving Up the

"100,000!"

Everyone looked over involuntarily. Fang Zuming looked around proudly, and nodded very gentlemanly to Liu Liu Yifei, who cast an inquiring look.

This group of mainland bumpkins, this number should be enough to deter them, right?

Lu Kuan couldn't laugh or cry, why did this fool snatch his scene?

Others don't know yet, but he knows what kind of ghost ideas Su Mang and this group of people have.

In the name of charity, do hype and marketing.

Get some props and costumes, everyone gives some money, and finally carry out publicity in the name of charity, everyone looks good.

Otherwise, how could Wang Fei, Zhao Little Yanzi, Na Ying, and other domestic top-tier actresses only scrape together the number of 168,000?

Not to mention others, Little Yanzi now quotes 150,000-200,000 per episode of TV drama, not to mention endorsements.

So Lu Kuan didn't want to watch them hype and pretend, thinking about making an article with Liu Liu Yifei's costume today.

Give Su Mang and the others a drive up of the pretense price!

Let you pretend enough!

If people like Liu Liu Yifei's status can "create income" of 500,000 or 1 million for charity, are you all queens, song queens, star seniors still embarrassed to ink there for a few thousand or ten thousand?

This is not just a question of whether you are embarrassed, it is a question of status, a question of status in the entertainment circle.

Which star is willing to be inferior to others?

It's just that I didn't expect Fang Zuming, who intended to please Liu Liu Yifei, to kill halfway, this is interesting.

Wouldn't his money be saved?

Lu Kuan raised the sign and looked at the Dragon Prince from afar: "200,000!"

The latter thought he had received a pheromone called competition between male creatures, and continued to be reckless.

"300,000!"

"500,000!"

Mei Mei Yanfang saw some ways, didn't want Lu Kuan to form an enmity with the Xiangjiang circle again, and decisively raised the sign: "1 million!"

The stars in the field were in an uproar. Although everyone is not short of money, the rhythm is too fast!

A second ago, Na Ying and Su Mang were still cherishing each other on stage, expressing their gratitude for each other's charitable deeds, and patting commercial flattery.

The next second it soared from 10,000 to 1 million?

Or this little girl who has only debuted for more than a year?

Where do you put Yingzi's face!

What kind of magical realism script is this today...

Na Ying's face was not very good. She secretly sent messages to several sisters, don't be cowardly later.

Today's plan of "spending small money to do big things" is ruined.

Fortunately, several brothers and sisters are not short of money, so make it!

Mei Mei Yanfang sat at a table with Fang Long and his son: "Zuming, I quite like this dress, don't fight with me."

Fang Long warned his son with a smile: "You don't want to be impulsive, don't you even listen to your Aunt Mei?"

Fang Zuming poured a glass of water for Mei Mei Yanfang obediently: "Aunt Mei, since you like it, I must bid for it and give it to you."

As he spoke, he winked at his old man again: "Old man, I am doing charity, and I can please my elders. Once Aunt Mei is happy, her body will recover faster!"

Fang Zuming said it nicely, but Fang Long didn't understand his son's intention.

When I was picking up girls, you little cub were still liquid.

It's just that this statement can't be said to be wrong. Fang Long smiled awkwardly at Mei Mei Yanfang: "The child is grown up, and he doesn't listen to his old man."

Mei Mei Yanfang picked up the teacup noncommittally: "Young people, let them go."

Anyway, I have done my best. Don't blame others if you suffer in Lu Kuan's hands in the future.

It must be said that second generations like Xie Xie Tingfeng and Fang Zuming have been arrogant in Xiangjiang, and when they arrive in the mainland, which is "downstream of the contempt chain," they have never looked at anyone.

It is inevitable to act strangely.

Ke Lan exclaimed exaggeratedly on stage: "Wow! Thank you very much for Sister Mei's generosity. I also represent the organizer and the magazine here, as well as all Sister Mei's fans, wishing you a speedy recovery!"

"Good! 1 million once, 1 million twice..."

Fang Zuming was full of confidence: "1.2 million!"

"Sorry everyone, I am prepared to bid for this dress and give it to Aunt Mei. If there is any offense, please forgive me!"

It must be said that this little Fang's emotional intelligence cannot be said to be low. He did it in place on the surface, and no one can say he is arrogant.

Doing charity and respecting elders, you can't pick any reason.

However, Lu Kuan didn't intend to let him go like this. It's only 1.5 million? This is far from enough!

"Mr. Fang has a great spirit, but Sister Mei is also my sister, I, the younger brother, cannot let you specialize in beauty!"

"2 million!"

There was another uproar under the stage, and discussions arose!

Some were surprised that Lu Kuan and Mei Mei Yanfang had this layer of relationship. After all, it had been circulating in the circle, and this time it was confirmed by the parties involved.

Many male stars who were jealous of his young talent felt better.

No wonder he rose so fast, with a Xiangjiang big sister helping, I can do it too!

For example, Li Yapeng.

He withdrew his straight gaze at Lu Kuan, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.

I just said!

A little god stick who didn't know what kind of conspiracy he used to mix a small role in "Legend of the Condor Heroes," how did he get to this position in a year or two?

Li Li Yapeng quietly held his new girlfriend's jade hand under the table, feeling from the bottom of his heart.

One by one, they are either second generations or relying on big tycoons. Only I, Li Yapeng, rely on my own talent and strong physical quality to fight for all this.

Great talent early!

Liu Liu Yifei quietly pushed Lu Kuan's foot. She was not worried about spending too much money.

She was worried that Lu Kuan would make enemies for no reason, looking at Fang Long's unnatural face beside him.

The little girl underestimated Lu Kuan and underestimated Fang Long.

Fang Long still has the demeanor of a predecessor. Seeing that the scene was a bit tense, he also stood up and walked onto the stage, taking the microphone from Ke Lan.

"Director Lu is enthusiastic about charity, I admire it very much. This costume is very beautiful, it is the classic look of our mainland excellent young actor Miss Liu Liu Yifei."

"She reminds me of Ah Mei when she was young. She is our Xiangjiang's ever-changing queen, but her wardrobe lacks this classical costume."

"How about this, Director Lu, Big Brother asks you for a face, I bid 3 million for this costume and give it to Ah Mei, is it okay?"

He has to maintain his son's face.

But this Lu Kuan is also a person Li Li Shoucheng values very much, and he is also a young director and latecomer who is popular in the mainland's young generation.

The film company established with Emperor must go to the mainland to find food. There is no need to make everyone unhappy because of this little thing, it's just a few million.

When he participated in "The Medallion" last year, he already took the top salary of 10 million US dollars for Chinese people in Hollywood. Is this 3 million still money?

Spend 3 million, everyone is safe, and he also gained a good reputation.

Su Mang very sensibly asked someone to pass the microphone to Lu Kuan under the stage.

"Brother Fang Long is a predecessor, I agree with your proposal with both hands."

"How about this, everyone don't fight with me for Brother Fang Long's auction items tonight, I bid 2.88 million, learn from Big Brother, and make a meager contribution to the charity cause!"

Ke Lan decisively poked the arm of Wu Li Dawei beside her. The latter came back to his senses and praised the two to the extreme.

On stage, there was an exaggerated and funny performance. With the addition of these 6 million, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly became hot and noisy.

Fang Long and Lu Kuan took a group photo on stage, and the Xiangjiang Big Brother shook the mainland youth's hand heavily.

No wonder Li Li Shoucheng values him so much. His style, agility, and temperament are much higher than the young generation in Xiangjiang.

Even if he is high-profile and publicized, he knows how to restrain himself and only bid 2.88 million, which is slightly lower than his 3 million, expressing respect for his predecessor.

This is called the real one that no one can pick any reason.

Fang Long returned to his seat, looking at his son who was still dissatisfied and sighed silently.

Tiger father and dog son!

Mei Mei Yanfang smiled and thanked Fang Long, and looked at Lu Kuan, who was calm not far away, with relief.

It can't stump him, it can't stump him at all.

Little Yanzi sat in the last row of the venue. She didn't intend to come, and she heard that Lu Kuan would attend on the phone, so she hurriedly left the wine party.

I didn't expect that coming early is not as good as coming by coincidence. This big drama can be considered to be seen through thoroughly.

Lu Kuan is really no longer the little god who pointed out the maze for her before.

Just like the dinner party of the "Green Tea" crew at the restaurant just now, investors Dong Dong Shuangqiang and Deputy Director Jiang were also there.

Jiang Wen vividly performed Lu Kuan's plan for Liu Liu Xiaoqing after she was released from prison in front of everyone.

It really made a table of old foxes listen to it with great surprise. This young man, hey.

Deputy Director Jiang remembered the anecdote that Shangying and Bona were also handled by Lu Kuan in March, and couldn't help but give an evaluation with emotion.

"The tiger is not yet patterned, but it already has the spirit of eating cattle."

A small climax completely established the tone of tonight. Fang Long's 3 million seemed to be a red line drawn for everyone, and the subsequent auction items did not exceed this number.

This is like a government unit organizing donations, the leader donated 1,000 to start, and you can watch and donate yourself below.

The Class of Six Years was also fully fired. Yingzi's performance costume when she first appeared on the Spring Festival Gala in 1992 was auctioned by Wang Fei for 1 million;

A guitar of singer Zheng Jun was auctioned by Ai Ai Dajin for 800,000;

To talk about fighting for face, it has to be the class monitor. Wang Fei took off the six-eye dzi on her neck on the spot. The quality is average, it's just something she wears for fun.

As a result, it was auctioned by host Ke Lan for 2 million, which can be considered the third "hit" today.

The entertainment circle is also a Jianghu. Everyone tacitly moved around below 3 million.

No one expected that until Lu Kuan's auction items appeared, it actually broke this rule.

Ke Lan held the microphone: "The next auction item is the auction item of Golden Lion Award director, Cannes Best Director winner Lu Kuan."

"Cannes Film Festival, "Shoplifters" Jury Prize trophy!"

It is said to be a trophy, but in fact, it is a uniquely shaped golden palm leaf, which is embedded in a glass block.

The trophies of the Cannes Film Festival are basically palm leaves plus a background element.

Except for the Golden Palm, other trophies from the Jury Prize to Best Director are the same.

"Shoplifters" won Best Director and Jury Prize, so I just took one out for auction.

Once this thing came out, the pretense of the scene immediately improved. Look at this "generosity," this is not something that can be bought with money!

Zhao Little Yanzi raised the sign: "800,000!"

Everyone looked back, not knowing when she came.

Little Yanzi calmly accepted the scrutinizing eyes of all parties and nodded to Lu Kuan.

Liu Liu Yifei scanned them suspiciously several times, but didn't see any reason.

The little girl suddenly raised the sign timidly: "1 million."

Boss Lu was speechless, what's your situation?

Liu Liu Yifei didn't look sideways and didn't pay attention to his suspicious eyes.

Interested people have already started whispering. It seems that the rumors between these two are not groundless.

Mei Mei Yanfang raised the sign: "1.2 million."

Little Yanzi knew the relationship between Mei Mei Yanfang and Lu Kuan, and didn't take it as an offense: "1.5 million!"

At the beginning, she asked Director Lu to tell her fortune, and she would slap a 2-million bank card on the tea room table.

Now, in order to please him and repair the relationship, she didn't even blink when spending this money.

When it comes to emotional intelligence, she is indeed the only one among the actresses, it's just that she was blinded by greed and stood on the opposite side of the people.

Mei Mei Yanfang looked back curiously, and before she could react, she heard Huo Huo Wenxi's voice.

"2 million!"

She cast an apologetic look at Mei Mei Yanfang. It's not that she had to fight, it's just that she was implementing her boss's instructions.

Spare no effort to make friends with Lu Kuan.

Not to mention such a Cannes trophy with pretense and commemorative significance.

Lu Kuan confiscated Liu Liu Yifei's sign and stacked it with his own.

Are you stupid, teasing others, what are you joining in the fun for.

Mei Mei Yanfang had heard Huo Huo Wenxi talk about Emperor's attitude towards Lu Kuan in Zhongbei a few days ago, and was happy to see it, so she didn't raise the sign again.

Zhao Little Yanzi didn't care so much. She is a person with a very strong purpose. Even if she failed to compete for the bid in the end, she could at least leave a good impression on him.

"3 million!"

The stars whispered, Su Mang was already numb, she had a premonition that the headlines for the next month would be related to herself!

Everything seems to be because of this Lu Kuan...

Her persistence was indeed correct. The style and temperament shown by this young director are too heartbreaking. If she were 10 years younger...

What, do you still want to sit on his lap?

Huo Huo Wenxi was a bit surprised, is this aimed at herself, or at Lu Kuan?

So persistent.

"3.5 million!"

Fang Long took the lead in applauding. He was not so narrow-minded that he minded that there were auction items on the scene that exceeded his number.

He is a typical character who is better to brothers than to women, and there is no lack of heroic spirit of Jianghu children in his bones.

Zhao Little Yanzi didn't fight anymore. The meaning was reached. With Lu Kuan's agility, I believe it is not difficult to see the goodwill she released.

Boss Lu saw it, and the goodwill of her and Emperor were received.

But he just wanted to ask Little Yanzi now, he has an identical trophy at home, can he sell it to you for 3 million at a discount...

This big climax ended, and the charity night tonight no longer had any scenes that made everyone interested, and finally ended with warm applause and a hasty group photo.

The first pretense charity night officially ended.

But the auction just now was just foreplay, and the cold meal and exchange below were the meat, the kind that is fresh and juicy.

Little Yanzi walked to Lu Kuan's table leisurely.

"Director Lu, sorry, financial resources are insufficient, didn't give you face."

Look at this, if Boss Lu didn't know what kind of person she was, he would inevitably fall into her trap like Boss Ma of later generations.

"Where, where, long time no see, Ms. Zhao."

"Director Lu is still so polite, just call me by my name, hehe."

Zhao Little Yanzi suddenly remembered something and took out two invitations from her bag.

"Director Lu, Liu Yifei, this weekend is the premiere of "Green Tea," please go and support."

Don't hit the smiling person with your hand, Lu Kuan said vaguely: "Okay, I will definitely go if I have time."

Liu Liu Yifei also thanked her sweetly.

Little Yanzi didn't intend to let him go like this: "I was just talking to Jiang Wen at the dinner table, you drank a big wine in Cannes, and talked happily."

"Director Lu, even if my face is not enough, you give Director Jiang face, right?"

Boss Lu was speechless. Since his rebirth, he rarely had times when he couldn't answer. This Little Yanzi has such a clever mouth, how to refuse is not appropriate.

"Okay, just treat me to a meal then, hehe."

The two were chatting enthusiastically, and a bunch of people around wanted to come over to meet and mix a familiar face, but it was inconvenient to interrupt.

Only Su Mang walked over with champagne leisurely.

"Director Lu, Big Star Zhao, thank you both for helping public welfare!"

Boss Lu slandered, you don't have to thank me, you made the pretense I pretended to be more than a hundred times fatter!

Su Mang is a human spirit. After chatting for a while, she turned her eyes to Liu Liu Yifei.

"Liu Yifei, I also have to thank your Wang Wang Yuyan costume, otherwise it would be cold tonight."

"Are you interested in being on the cover of our magazine? You are simply the most beautiful 16-year-old girl in costume I have ever seen!"

Liu Liu Yifei looked at Lu Kuan, and seeing that he didn't mean to refuse, she also agreed with a smile.

"That's good, then I won't disturb your conversation, thank you again."

Several people clinked glasses, and Zhao Little Yanzi also saw good and accepted, arrived late and left early, and went to catch the leader's second round.

You sing and I appear, Liu Liu Yifei was so hungry that her chest was stuck to her back, so she went to find something to eat first.

Lu Kuan was about to get up, and the big sponsor tonight arrived again.

"Director Lu, hello!", "Director Lu, hello~"

Boss Lu shook hands with the twins, and one of them drew lightly on his palm with her fingernails.

You use this to test the director?

The two had eaten with Lu Kuan in Li Li Shoucheng's big villa in Xiangjiang, and had seen the boss's courtesy to him with their own eyes, so they didn't dare to neglect, and their faces were very respectful.

Huo Huo Wenxi smiled: "Director Lu, our Emperor's sisters admire you very much. If there are suitable roles in future movies, please consider them."

"Easy to say, easy to say. Little Zhong and Little Cai have good appearances, suitable for playing some youth movies."

Boss Lu ignored the happy eyes of the two women: "Mani, you spent money tonight, I'll toast you later."

"Where, Director Lu is a young talent that Emperor has always wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with, these are not worth mentioning."

Huo Huo Wenxi let the two women go to get champagne, and asked in a low voice: "Director Lu, I don't know the cooperation you mentioned with Tom Cruise in Cannes..."

Hehe, thought you could endure until when, finally revealed your heart.

Since he returned to the country, he has responded privately to all parties concerned: establishing a cooperative relationship, and the current situation is unclear.

With the expected revenue of "Fahrenheit 9/11" as the bottom line, there are box office revenues of "Crazy Stone" and "Shoplifters" in the second half of the year. What he lacks now is not money.

It is resources and channels.

For example, who to find to work to participate in the share reform of Wenjie Xiying Factory, intercept Yanda Huayi's Hu;

For example, while absorbing Wenjie Jiahe stocks in the secondary market, find ways to acquire the Wenjie Jiahe shares held by Li Li Jiacheng.

Li Li Shoucheng undoubtedly has this energy and face. The key lies in how the two sides trade.

"Mani, after I'm busy with this period, I'll send Sister Mei back to Xiangjiang. At that time, I'll make an appointment with Mr. Li to have dinner, and everyone can chat about this matter."

Huo Huo Wenxi was overjoyed. She has been under great pressure during this period. Lu Kuan is always returning to the country next week, and there is no chance of contact at all.

She even hesitated whether to let the twins...

Finally, there is some progress.
