Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 281 Dinner Party
Lu Yao still accepted the gift.

In Song Yufei's words:

"They all know that the movie you asked me to invest in was a big hit at the box office. If you don't accept it, how can I survive in the future? Won't I be called stingy?"

Take a look.

He even gave a reason for giving the gift so fresh and refined.

Lu Yao finally figured out why he wasn't allowed to drive...

You've been waiting for me here for a long time.

The weather was too cold, so Song Yufei just told Lu Yao that the car documents were in the storage compartment and quickly took him back.

Only then did Lu Yao know that the box office of Love Is Not Blind had exceeded 33 million.

An investment of less than 900 million and a box office of 2 million.

Gee tut.

Making movies is really profitable.

he said in his heart.

It's like robbing money.

Then he went upstairs to change his clothes.

Lu Yao checked the car on his mobile phone.

It was found to be the highest configuration of the 2012 model, with a bare car price of 339 million.

Including taxes, insurance and so on, it would probably be around four hundred?
However, he couldn't find out the price of this Patek Philippe watch, so he sent a message to the watch salesperson he added when he was shopping with his girlfriend to ask about the price.

The original sale price of this watch is 300 million, and the current market price is around 350 million.

Good guy.

A watch costs more than a car.

The two together total 700 million.

Fine.

Lu Yao suddenly realized in a trance that there seemed to be so many luxury goods in his home... he couldn't even remember how many there were.

Watches, clothes, and other things... wouldn't the total cost be tens of millions?
Absolutely...

He was speechless for a moment.

Then a sweet laugh was heard from Song Hye Kyo above.

He shook his head speechlessly.

……

Song Yufei had his own car, and when everyone set off at around 5 p.m., he and Song Hye Kyo got in a car.

You know what... after dressing up, this Korean star looks okay, at least in Lu Yao's opinion.

It’s a high score.

But seeing the two of them being so affectionate with each other, he felt a little disgusted.

However, the driving feel of the Range Rover is still good. In all aspects, this car is very comfortable to drive.

Following the Maybach to the party venue, Lu Yao saw that a red carpet had been laid in front of the entrance of the office building.

There were already many reporters on both sides of the door.

Lu Yao thought about it and didn't move forward. He drove the car directly to the basement.

He has no interest in those celebrity styles, such as getting off the red carpet to take photos, giving interviews... What's more, with his status in the entertainment industry, he is just a small fry at best.

Not only will passers-by not recognize him when he walks on the street, even people who have heard his songs may not recognize him.

As luck would have it, when he turned into the basement, the car behind him started honking at him.

At first Lu Yao didn't take it seriously, but he kept beeping, so Lu Yao thought to himself, is this guy sick?
When I glanced at the back, I found it was a familiar Alfa.

It looks like Mr. Xu’s car.

He made way for a lane in the basement, and the Alfa stopped directly next to Lu Yao. The side door opened, and Mr. Xu, who was dressed in a proper manner, looked at him curiously and asked:
"Whose car is it?"

"Did you see me?"

"Nonsense, you didn't even put on the membrane. Brother Wang reminded me and then I realized it was you."

Only then did Lu Yao see that the person driving the car was Xu Ruochu's driver Wang Jun.

He nodded:

"Stop first."

So the two cars went their separate ways, and soon Mr. Xu and he got together.

After touching the Land Rover and looking at its length, he asked:

"Respect?"

"No, it's the top one."

"Collection?"

"Yes, Brother Fei gave it to me."

"Uh……"

Master Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"That won't work. That's too stingy. One or two hundred million for a car?"

Lu Yao rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Don't join in the fun." He pointed at the car window:

"There's a watch inside... I noticed you guys are so interested in watches."

“The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches.”

Mr. Xu shrugged indifferently and asked:
"Shall we walk the red carpet?"

"Come on, who do you think you are? And who am I?"

"Tsk, that seems to be the case."

As they were talking, Lu Yao's phone suddenly rang. It was Song Yufei calling.

"Where are you?"

"Where's the basement?"

"…Why are you in the basement? Come upstairs. I'm waiting to walk the red carpet with you."

Lu Yao was speechless:
"Why walk the red carpet with me? Why do you think I dragged Song Hye Kyo here?"

"I'm with Brother Xiaochen."

"That's perfect, you two can go together, hurry up."

"……it is good."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Xu Ruochen:

"Let's go, walk the red carpet."

Mr. Xu also heard the content of the call and asked in confusion:
"Song Hye Kyo? That Korean girl? Why is she here?"

"She's not only here. When I went to look for Fei Ge, she was in Fei Ge's villa."

"Oh~~~"

Mr. Xu understood immediately and then sighed:
"Song Hye Kyo... She's so beautiful."

"...?"

Lu Yao thought to himself, just forget it.

"She's pretty? Are you sure?"

Perhaps it was because his eyes were too strange, Master Xu asked in confusion:
"Not good looking? You don't like it?"

"I don't like it. I don't feel anything."

"Tsk, you really have no taste. She is one of the few Korean girls I like."

"Oh my, you are so shameless to say that, lolita."

"Bullshit lolita, I like pure beauties. Well, I'll talk to Brother Fei later and ask him to set me up with that Lin Yuna."

"Lin Yuna? The name sounds familiar."

"The one from Girls' Generation."

"The one with a big mouth and small breasts?"

"..."

Mr. Xu suddenly didn't want to chat with Lu Yao anymore.

It's so fucking vulgar.

But...

"You don't even need to know her. Brother Fei just asked me if I was interested in Song Hye Kyo. Give it to me..."

"You two use one?"

"Why are you talking so dirty?"

Lu Yao, who had completely forgotten that he was thinking the same thing just now, shook his head helplessly:
"What he meant was that if the entertainment industry wants something... to catch the Korean wave, people over there are all heading this way. If you want something, just tell him and he'll deliver it to you."

"That's so boring."

Master Xu sneered:
"For things like this, you have to find that sweet feeling of love yourself."

"Dating? Okay, wait, I'll call Sister Chu now and tell her that you want to date a Korean female star."

"Fuck, come on, I was just kidding... Why are you playing so dirty now, even telling tales?"

There was something wrong with Mr. Xu's eyes when he looked at Lu Yao:

"Do you understand? It's not her body that I want, do you understand? It's her heart."

"Aren't you still planning on dating someone?"

"Go away, go away, I find that I can't communicate with you... I don't lack women, what I want is spiritual fusion, understand?"

"Are you sure she speaks English?"

"Uh... that seems to be true. You can't bring a translator with you on a date, right?"

"You really want to find a stick! No, I really need to call..."

"No, no, no, big brother, it's okay if I'm wrong..."

The two of them walked up to the entrance of the basement, chatting and laughing. When they reached the ground, they saw Song Yufei's car still parked at the red carpet door.

Lu Yao quickened his pace.

Soon, after the two people arrived, the car door was opened.

Song Yufei got off the car first, followed by Song Hye Kyo, who was not dressed too formally.

Then, he waved to Lu Yao and Xu Ruochen, and the reporters' eyes instantly turned over.

After seeing the two people, they were confused, puzzled and puzzled, but it seemed that a few people knew Lu Yao and the others, so they quickly pointed their cameras at them.

"Let's go."

Following Da Fei's words, with Lu Yao squinting his eyes as he was not used to the flash lights, the four of them walked inside together.

When leaving, Lu Yao was keeping an eye on Song Hye Kyo.

I found that this sister seemed to be very familiar with this kind of scene, and she was full of stage presence.

More natural than these three gentlemen.

But unfortunately, the reporters waited eagerly but never got the chance to interview her.

After a few people walked in, Song Yufei said:
"They are all upstairs. Come on, sit for a while and come down to eat later."

"Brother Fei, who did you call this time?"

Xu Ruochen asked curiously.

"I don't know the details, but I've invited everyone I know who has a working relationship with me. That's how the entertainment industry is. When you're doing well, everyone surrounds you, and flowers are like fire, and hot water is like oil..."

Before he finished speaking, Master Xu added:
"But when things are bad, there won't be many visitors, right?"

"Isn't it normal for others to stay away from you when you are not doing well?"

"That's for sure."

"So, instead of expanding your influence while you are still popular, are you going to wait until there are few visitors before you beg these snobs to remember our past friendship?"

"..."

"..."

Lu Yao was stunned by his words.

You know what...it makes sense.

And Master Xu said:

“So, still waters run deep.”

Song Yufei rolled his eyes at him.

It's irrelevant. ...

Before Lu Yao even saw the venue for today's dinner, he had already joined a group of gentlemen bragging.

They are all big shots outside, but they still fight and play around behind closed doors.

Lu Yao was a little hungry, so he grabbed a handful of pistachios and sat in front of the fruit plate, pretending to be a squirrel. After eating for a while, Master Xu came over:
"Let's go to the banquet hall to see the stars?"

“What’s there to watch about celebrities?”

Lu Yao felt a little strange.

"Then what's the point of listening to these grown men bragging?"

Mr. Xu asked back, and was hit by several pistachios.

In order to save his teammates, Lu Yao finally followed him out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Yao left the house, he suddenly gave Lu Yao a trump card:
"I've fallen in love with a girl."

"...?"

Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, and asked subconsciously:

"how much is it?"

"Fuck off!"

Master Xu almost slapped him to death.

He said angrily:

"Seriously."

"……Fine."

Seeing that he wasn't joking, Lu Yao nodded:

"Where's the girl?"

“From school.”

"…from school?"

A big question mark instantly appeared in Lu Yao's head:

"Who?"

"Zhang Mengxi."

"do not know."

"Freshman."

"Uh...are there any photos?"

If Mr. Xu said that it was his sophomore or junior year, he might still have an impression of her, after all, he had seen more or less all the beauties in school. But he was not familiar with the freshman girl.

But soon, he saw a girl on Mr. Xu's mobile phone screen whose aesthetic taste could almost be said to be exactly what Mr. Xu wanted.

Big eyes, pure and cute style, and such a sweet smile when she faces the camera.

"Did you take the photo?"

"Of course not. Didn't you see this is the forum address?"

"…You scared me. I thought you saved her photo in your phone."

After staring at the girl for a few seconds, Lu Yao nodded:

"You know what, she looks pretty good."

"Well, she joined the student council too."

"Oh~"

Lu Yao understood instantly:

"The warm-hearted senior has a crush on a fellow student union member but is too shy to confess, right?"

"Hikaru watched too much, didn't he?"

Mr. Xu left the campus forum, rolled his eyes, and said as they entered the elevator:
"She has a good personality too. After she joined the student union, I took her to do two activities for freshmen to integrate into the school... Oh, and we will be the finale of this year's New Year's Day performance, remember that."

"Okay. What stage are you at with this girl?"

"Ordinary friend. I don't dare stand next to her. I feel like I'm playing dirty when I stand next to her."

"...?"

Lu Yao thought to himself, how come you have included me in your scolding?

"You mean we have similar tastes?"

"I'm not kidding you... She gives me the feeling of... a white deer."

White deer...oh.

Lu Yao understood instantly, and then there was a hint of curiosity:
"I thought you two were just engaged as children..."

"My first kiss was her, and her first kiss was me."

"Uh... so it's first love?"

"Not really. By the time I understood what love was, she had already gone to America. But we did agree to get married in the future, so...it was my first love. And you know the result..."

Seeing that Mr. Xu looked a little disappointed, Lu Yao didn't want to mention these things anymore.

As for everyone, first love is actually a special memory that is destined to be unforgettable.

So he continued to ask:

"So, you are secretly in love? You are secretly in love with this Zhang..."

"Zhang Mengxi."

"Yes, you like this girl? How does this girl treat you?"

"She's nice to everyone. So she's hard to deal with. You see, I'm such a bad person..."

"…What do you mean by being a good person? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing Lu Yao's unaware look, Master Xu rolled his eyes:

"What do you think? Look, I'm surrounded by people like you..."

"Brother, can you eat whatever you want but not say anything wrong? What's wrong with me? I'm an excellent student, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and a freshman guaranteed to be admitted to graduate school. Whoever sees me won't praise me as a good kid?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes. If I tell Sister Li about Shen Wan's situation, do you believe that there will be a building of yours at the bottom of the Huangpu River tomorrow?"

"..."

While Lu Yao was speechless, Mr. Xu said in the tone of an experienced person:

"So...love should be simple, innocent, and pure..."

"..."

Lu Yao was too lazy to pay attention to him.

He walked out of the elevator and came to the banquet hall.

Only then did I realize that there were already quite a few people sitting inside.

Many of them are celebrities who can often be seen on TV.

You know what, it really does feel like a star-studded world.

Mr. Xu also calmed down in time. He just talked about this matter with Lu Yao and didn't really plan to ask the dog-headed military advisor to give him any advice.

Whether you like this kind of thing or not, you don’t need the help of a military advisor.

"there."

He pointed to an area closest to the small stage, meaning that was where our seats were.

Lu Yao asked in confusion:
"Isn't this a celebration party? There will also be guest performances?"

"At Fei Ge's celebration party, someone has to show off their singing skills, right? Besides, it's almost the end of the year, and many people want to see what big guys like Fei Ge have in mind for the coming year and see how to cooperate. We'll sit over there in a while."

"OK."

So, the two of them walked over together.

There is a row of stools near the stage, which are obviously prepared for VIPs.

Mr. Xu casually sat down in the first row, attracting the attention of many people.

After Lu Yao sat down, Mr. Xu patted him on the shoulder:

"Look over there."

Lu Yao looked in the direction he pointed, and apart from a few stars in formal attire, there seemed to be nothing else.

So he asked:

"what happened?"

"Did you see that guy with the glasses?"

"Ah."

"The CEO of Qixing Cultural and Creative Entertainment is a gay man. The male lead of the movies they invest in has to be sent to his room, otherwise they won't get the investment."

"????"

Lu Yao was stunned.

Looking at the greasy middle-aged man, he asked speechlessly:

"real or fake?"

"Why would I lie to you? ... Look, over there, did the woman standing with Su Mang see it?"

"Who is Su Mang?"

"…the one in the canary yellow dress."

"Oh... that woman is Su Mang?"

"No, her name is Shen Xiaoli, a famous brothel owner."

"…Madam?"

"Well, she's actually the boss of an agency, but she specializes in making money through illegal means. For example, if you like someone, just go find her directly, and once the terms are agreed, the woman will appear in your bed the next day..."

"...Brother, are you sure you're not talking about the plot in the novel?"

"laugh."

Master Xu sneered:
"Reality is much more magical than fiction. So, don't be fooled by the fact that these stars appear to be decent people on TV. You can never imagine what they do behind the scenes. In public, they can charm a lot of people by showing a smile to their fans, but at the dinner table, their smiles are much more brilliant than on TV. Now you know why you can't take the stars home no matter who you ask, right?"

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless and nodded slightly.

I have learned something new.

The two of them chatted about gossip for a while in the first row, and many people actually noticed them during that time.

Some people even recognized Lu Yao and Xu Ruochen as members of a band, but no one reminded the two young men to sit in the first row.

In situations like this, it is better to have less trouble than more.

But it’s hard to say whether there is anyone who is gloating in their hearts and thinks that these two young people don’t know the rules.

Then, when the time was almost up, Song Yufei and the others came down from the stairs.

This also includes several actors from "33 Days".

Wow, as soon as this "supergroup" appeared, the applause was like a tide.

In the tide, Song Yufei and his team walked to the front of the stage. When they saw Lu Yao and Xu Ruochen, they quickly waved:

"I'm looking for you two. You two will follow me to the stage to cut the ribbon. Do you hear me?"

"Ribbon cutting?"

Mr. Xu was somewhat puzzled:
"Why?"

"The next step in the film and television investment plan, you two will follow along."

"okay."

Seeing Xu Ruochen agreed, Lu Yao nodded.

Then, a group of people sat in the first row.

Lu Yao originally wanted to sit on the side, but Song Yufei pulled his two younger brothers to sit next to him.

The host came on stage and began to preside over tonight's celebration banquet. The theme was naturally to sing praises, such as how high the box office was, how popular it was, and so on.

Then they thanked the guests and announced a project called "Starlight Project".

The two of them then understood that Song Yufei would increase investment in the film and television industry next year, and that this project was also a Hengdian project, which was supported by Hengdian and would provide preferential treatment to the crew, as well as abundant funding, etc... Anyway, it sounded like a pretty good plan.

Lu Yao subconsciously looked around and found that some people had shining eyes.

Obviously, this plan has extraordinary appeal to them.

Then the ribbon-cutting ceremony began.

When Lu Yao and Xu Ruochen went on stage together, although the spotlight was blinding, Lu Yao could see... that many people in the audience were staring at him.

The light in his eyes seemed brighter than the spotlight above his head.
