Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 763 Director Li VS Girl Group
Li Qiutang's mind raced; he really hadn't prepared for this question.

But Director Li had seen it all; this small problem was easy for him to handle. Li Qiutang feigned panic, slapping her thigh: "Oh dear, I forgot! I forgot about the moon!"

The audience laughed.

Li Qiutang began to fabricate: "But to be honest, the issue of the moon is a very heartbreaking one. A cosmic catastrophe occurs, humanity embarks on a journey of wandering, and we have to abandon this neighbor that has accompanied us for billions of years. This is an irreversible sacrifice. What happened to the moon afterward has also become an eternal legend in the 'Wandering Earth' project. As for what the legend is, you'll have to find the answer in the movie."

Li Qiutang said that on purpose because there was no answer about the moon in the first part.

Li Qiutang silently prayed to Yang Chaoyue: "Please don't ask whether we'll still celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival after Earth goes on a journey, or whether we'll still give out mooncakes. Please don't ask."

Yang Chaoyue really didn't ask any more questions. The event proceeded normally until its end.

Li Qiutang didn't stay in the lounge any longer; he was about to leave because he had several important business partners to meet in Shanghai.

After packing her things and exchanging a few polite words with the organizers of today's event, Li Qiutang left for the parking lot.

The schedule was indeed very tight, but Li Qiutang even had time to chat and drink coffee with her assistant and driver by the car.

His assistant said that Yang Chaoyue was the prettiest of the three, but the driver preferred Meng Meiqi. Li Qiutang did not comment.

The driver was smoking, and Li Qiutang was drinking hot coffee, discussing their upcoming itinerary, when a series of chaotic footsteps echoed through the parking lot.

The group looked up and saw the three girls and their assistants that the others had mentioned earlier.

"director."

"Ah, you guys..." Li Qiutang glanced at the three of them, "Is there something you need?"

"Director, can we add you on WeChat?" The three girls, seemingly led by Meng Meiqi, each held their own phones, hoping the director would grant their small request. "We are all your fans."

Rocket Girls are popular, but they still can't get this close to those at the top of the entertainment industry.

"No problem." Li Qiutang patted himself down; his phone wasn't there. His assistant handed him his phone, and he exchanged WeChat contacts with the three girls.

After exchanging contact information, it was clear that Wu Xuanyi and Yang Chaoyue wanted to leave. They were visibly nervous and at a loss in front of Li Qiutang, but Meng Meiqi refused to leave and stood there talking to Li Qiutang. Since Meng Meiqi wouldn't leave, the other two couldn't leave either.

It's understandable that someone wants to show off in front of a senior director; Li Qiutang has long been used to such people.

"Director, I've already finished filming four movies this year."

"You've only been in the industry for a few months, and you've already filmed so many movies?" You've become this popular already? Even Li Qiutang admires this workload.

"I've already filmed one with Chaoyue and Xuanyi, and the company keeps wanting me to film more. I'm thinking of taking a break."

A girl born in '98 is still a bit too green to act out a ghost story in front of an old fox like Li Qiutang. He just grunted in response.

Meng Meiqi knew, of course, that her achievements were insignificant in front of such a great director, but she had to perform and make an impression on Li Qiutang.

Not to mention she also sang the promotional song for "The Wandering Earth," so she's somewhat connected to the film.

"Director, I will definitely go to the cinema to see our 'The Wandering Earth' on the first day of the Lunar New Year."

“Me too,” Yang Chaoyue and Wu Xuanyi said in unison.

"Then thank you in advance," Li Qiutang said with a smile. Having finished her coffee, she turned to leave, "I'll be going now. Happy New Year in advance! We've added each other on WeChat, so let's talk on WeChat if you need anything. Bye-bye."

Li Qiutang left, leaving the three girls and their respective assistants standing there to watch him go.

Yang Chaoyue glanced at Meng Meiqi, said nothing, and told her assistant to leave first. In terms of experience, Yang Chaoyue far surpassed Meng Meiqi; she easily understood what Meng Meiqi had meant.

Yang Chaoyue understood very well that she and Director Li Qiutang might not have any interaction in the future. She came to say hello purely out of work requirements, and she didn't expect to get anything from Li Qiutang.

He's very capable, but that has nothing to do with me.

As for her teammates eagerly trying to climb the social ladder, she disapproved but didn't stop them. Everyone wants to climb the ladder, and everyone has their own methods.

Sitting in the car, Li Qiutang asked her assistant, "Did I not perform very well at the event just now?"

"It's great, the audience is so enthusiastic."

Li Qiutang could tell at a glance that he wasn't telling the truth, so she said, "I don't know anything about girl groups. I only know the names of the three of them. How could I possibly perform well?" Li Qiutang could actually sense that she hadn't really blended in with the atmosphere just now.

The assistant chuckled and said, "The audience loves the contrast. It's interesting to see a big director like you on stage with a few young girls who just debuted in '95 or '98. Besides, we're using these young girls' popularity for publicity. As long as they have fun and get exposure, that's all that matters."

“That makes sense.” But Li Qiutang still understood how Jiang Wen felt at the time. “It was very awkward. We won’t do this kind of publicity again.”

His assistant countered with a question: "What if the publicity goes very well today?"

amount……

Li Qiutang was speechless for a moment. If this form of publicity could really have a good effect, then of course they should continue to do it, and Li Qiutang was willing to go all out.

“I can’t do this all by myself.” The wicked Li Qiutang came up with a wicked idea: “In a few days, I’ll have Wu Jing go and dance for a girl group.”

Upon hearing this crooked idea, the assistant accused him of having ulterior motives: "But the results will definitely be phenomenal!"

Li Qiutang found it amusing: "Wolf Warrior dancing to a girl group dance is quite unique, huh?"

After having dinner with several cinema managers and major distributors of related products in Shanghai, Li Qiutang was invited to a teahouse.

Here, he met Lao Hu, his connections in the government, and his new girlfriend, Cheng Xiao.

Li Qiutang was already numb. It hadn't been that long, and he had changed again. If Li Qiutang remembered correctly, Cheng Xiao should be born in the mid-95s.

While Cheng Xiao went to the restroom, Li Qiutang said to Lao Hu, "You're in great shape! How can someone so young like you handle this?"

Old Hu could easily tell that Li Qiutang was being sarcastic, and he said very seriously, "I'm serious about this."

The two had known each other for almost ten years, and it would be a miracle if Li Qiutang believed him: "You say you're serious about everything."

"This is really serious," Old Hu said confidently. "The one at home isn't in good health and won't last many more years. Once she's gone, I'll make this one my official wife."

Despite her words, Li Qiutang simply didn't believe them.

"Do you need me to take care of you?"

"No need," Lao Hu waved his hand. "She's just a second or third-tier celebrity. She does her own thing, and the company's resources are enough for her. She doesn't need much help. I'll let you know if I need anything."

Old Hu glanced outside again and, seeing that Cheng Xiao hadn't returned yet, said to Li Qiutang, "Yang Mi is about to give birth. Could you go and check on her for me? It's inconvenient for me to go."

Li Qiutang: ? ? ?
