The location of the reception was arranged in a clubhouse renovated from a luxurious villa. Outside the courtyard was a security guard in black, one person at ten steps. As soon as the car stopped, someone stepped forward to help open the door, and then took the key to help park the car.
Looking at the red carpet spread between two bushes of green trees in front of them, the three of them looked at each other and smiled wryly, showing a bit of unaccustomed and uncomfortable feeling.
Then, hold your head up high, without showing timidity.
Along the way, there were already quite a few people in the yard, chatting with each other with wine glasses in twos and threes.
The three of them basically didn't know anyone, so there was no reason to get together, and besides, they didn't come here for this. Xu Tingsheng came because of Apple, while Tan Yao and Huang Yaming came because of starlets.
Walking through the courtyard, Shi Zhongjun and two vice presidents stood not far from the entrance. Seeing Xu Tingsheng appearing, Shi Zhongjun shook hands and greeted him to express his welcome. Not overly enthusiastic, just like treating other guests.
Then a vice president stepped forward, took the opportunity to exchange pleasantries with Xu Tingsheng, and handed him a mobile phone.
Xu Tingsheng opened it and looked, only one number was stored inside. This should be the "gunner" that Shi Zhongjun prepared for Xu Tingsheng. In order to relieve the "vigorous" Xu Tingsheng, Tianyi made a lot of preparations this time.
In the hall, the piano and the violin are playing live, and men in costumes and women in sexy clothes shuttle among them.
"I'll go, why is there no little star?"
Tan Yao muttered in a low voice.
The three of them spent about half an hour walking around, eating, drinking and drinking, and found that this entertainment gathering, except for some well-known directors and big-name stars, was actually mostly people who did not usually appear in the media.
Among them, the men are basically not young, and their stomachs are not small. There are only a few young people like Xu Tingsheng.
Women, on the other hand, are mostly extravagant.
Presumably, on such an occasion, generally no one would bring a mistress or something. The older ones at the scene were probably wives of someone else, or they were powerful figures in the circle. As for the younger ones, they were probably daughters of someone else.
"Then you try the big brands?"
Xu Tingsheng said to Tan Yao and Huang Yaming, pointing to the two first-line movie actresses who were talking and laughing among a group of men.
The two looked at it, and whispered a few words to each other, and said in unison: "Too old, I can't eat it."
"Then pick up two rich ladies." Xu Tingsheng suggested again.
Both of them were a little moved.
At this time, a vice president of Tianyi who had already returned to the infield came over, raised his glass as a signal, and said, "Be polite, just go."
The words were addressed to Tan Yao and Huang Yaming. After drinking, he continued:
"Actually, they look at you in the same way now. They are thinking about who you are from the second generation and how to strike up a conversation. So go ahead, but remember one thing. You can't touch these things. If you touch them, you may cause trouble.
Don't be impatient, the two little brothers, if you go now, it's like connecting with people in the circle and getting acquainted with each other. The one that can be touched has not yet appeared. "
After hearing the words, Huang Yaming and Tan Yao knew that there must be a drama in the future, and now it was time to get down to business and mix circles, so they chatted briefly, took their glasses of wine and left quickly.
Both of them have good looks and figures, and they are also well-dressed today. Overall, they are very bluffing.
In fact, their ability to enter the market at this time is the biggest signal in itself, and no one will look down on them. The less familiar faces at this time, the more curious people will think about them, and then try to get close to them.
Xu Tingsheng and Vice President Tianyi looked side by side for a while, and found that most of the girls approached them warmly.
Both of them are veterans in the scene, elites in the field of picking up girls. After overcoming the initial nervousness and unaccustomed, they quickly became friends with several young girls.
"Where's Mr. Xu? Not interested?" Vice President Tianyi turned around and said to Xu Tingsheng with a smile, "There were a few people who asked me about you just now. The older one picked a son-in-law, and the younger one picked a boyfriend. Mr. Xu is very attractive. so big!"
"I'm timid." Xu Tingsheng said with a smile.
The vice president smiled cooperatively, and said: "When they asked me before, I always yelled at them. I only said that Mr. Xu Tianyi's friend got mixed up with him. But some of them are really good. Look, Mr. Xu. , do you want me to accompany you to get to know each other?"
At this time, he didn't say anything about the girl's beauty, but only about the strength of his family. Obviously, in his opinion, with Xu Tingsheng's current situation, the issue to consider is no longer whether a woman is pretty or not.
According to common sense, a person at this level must not be short of a beautiful woman, so when looking for a woman, more consideration is whether the other party's family background is commensurate with his own, and how much help he can give him.
This is how Vice President Tianyi looks at the problem. In his opinion, the Apple that Xu Tingsheng hid at home, no matter how much he loves it, should not be a real choice.
Xu Tingsheng didn't continue on this topic, and said directly: "I don't seem to have seen Tianle's people and Jin Datang."
Vice President Tianyi raised his finger and pointed upstairs, and said, "It should still be in the box upstairs. Usually these people will arrange the box. They will come out after Mr. Shi speaks and toasts."
Xu Tingsheng nodded.
The vice president added: "Mr. Shi has also arranged a box for Mr. Xu, why don't I take you there first?"
"That troubles you."
Xu Tingsheng really didn't know why he was standing in the middle of a group of strangers. When he heard that there was an amnesty in the box, he immediately made a gesture of invitation and followed Vice President Tianyi to the second floor.
The box that Shi Zhongjun arranged for Xu Tingsheng was in a good location, and he could overlook the entire hall when he opened the door.
All kinds of food and tea and wine in the box had already been prepared, the vice president sat down, poured wine for Xu Tingsheng, asked the waiter to leave, and then took the initiative to tell Xu Tingsheng some things in the circle.
According to the vice president, there are certain things that Xu Tingsheng has to get used to in the future.
Xu Tingsheng had never been in contact with this circle in his two lifetimes, so he sounded very interested at this moment. For example, unspoken rules, the so-called unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are actually far from those discussed by the outside world.
The real unspoken rules of the entertainment circle are not between those stars and directors, but in the hands of these people on the scene.
For example, at such a reception, almost nothing that happened during it would reach the ears of the outside world. Even if someone did something extremely unbearable on the spot, or even if the two bosses had a disagreement and fought, there would not be the slightest rumor from the outside.
Because no one will speak out, once anyone shakes out these things, whoever will become the target of public criticism and will have nowhere to go.
Others include secret arm wrestling between entertainment companies, robbing people and robbing resources with various means, and they all rely on their own skills. No one loses a battle and will cry in front of the media. It is often invisible to the general public.
In addition, including the little things between the boss and the celebrity, and the boss arranging for the celebrity to receive important clients and so on, even if the outside world is full of rumors, these people in the circle can't say anything.
After chatting for a while, the waiter knocked on the door and said that President Shi was about to speak.
Vice President Tianyi signaled, left early, and went downstairs to give Shi Zhongjun a platform. Xu Tingsheng immediately walked out of the box and was about to go downstairs. Jin Datang was walking not far in front of him.
Xu Tingsheng didn't have much to consider and scruple, he came here for just one purpose.
Hurrying up a few steps, Xu Tingsheng walked directly to Jin Datang, and asked, "Excuse me, is Tianle President Jin?"
"Hello, who are you?" Jin Datang hesitated for a while, but responded politely.
Xu Tingsheng said: "Samsara, I want to talk to President Jin about the Apple contract."
Jin Datang was slightly surprised, he didn't expect that the members of the reincarnation band who had been hiding all this time would just appear in front of him, on such an occasion. He took a good look at Xu Tingsheng, a young man in his twenties, he really looked like a college student playing in a band, at most he probably had some money in his family.
Jin Datang smiled and asked: "Then I have to ask, which company are you representing to negotiate? Who gave you the invitation card for the reception and asked you to find me?"
"The invitation card was given by Mr. Shi. We had a little cooperation before," Xu Tingsheng said. "As for me, I am talking with the Samsara band on my own behalf. Apple is a member of Samsara."
Jin Datang had checked a lot of information about Samsara before, and knew that the Samsara band was just an ordinary student at Yanzhou University. Will not come forward to find myself by such a band kid.
Things at this level are often beyond the reach of the artist himself.
Therefore, according to Jin Datang's judgment, Xu Tingsheng's ability to come in to find him was just a perfunctory move from Tianyi's side, and Shi Zhongjun never mentioned this matter to him at all.
Therefore, he didn't need to give Xu Tingsheng any face, let alone have any scruples.
"In that case," Jin Datang said, "then I can't talk to you."
After Jin Datang finished speaking, he walked forward.
Xu Tingsheng followed and said in the same tone, "I'm afraid it won't work if we don't talk about it."
Jin Datang was a little annoyed at being contradicted, and said as he walked: "Apple still has a contract with Tianle for more than four years, you can pay the 5 million liquidated damages, and I will chat with you. What I mean is, since she is ignorant, especially you are even more ignorant, then she can only do that, if I don't want her to turn over, she will never try to turn over. "
Jin Datang said "you are even more ignorant", which naturally means that Samsara did not continue to support Apple according to Tianle's plan, and let them exploit it.
Xu Tingsheng said calmly: "As far as I know, President Jin didn't invest any money in Apple, but made a lot of money. Apple didn't even release an album in Tianle, so there should be no need to go to this point. It's better to forgive me." Forgive others, let's expose the matter like this, so as not to hurt peace."
Xu Tingsheng was already angry with Jin Datang, so he didn't plan to have a serious talk. The reason why he approached Jin Datang at this time was just to give Shi Zhongjun an explanation, and tell him that it wasn't because he didn't even talk about it, so he insisted on the two companies. Shirtless.
"I gave her time to reflect before, and I was very tolerant." Jin Datang was irritated by the "impolite" and "arrogant" Xu Tingsheng, and sneered, "Don't forget that she still has a contract, and Tianle will give it to her." She arranges performances, and if she doesn’t go, she can’t do it.”
After finishing speaking, he turned to a deputy beside him and said, "Someone arrange a few bar performances for Apple, any kind of venue is fine. Understand?"
Xu Tingsheng stopped, looked at Jin Datang and said, "So there's nothing to talk about?"
"Why do you talk to me?" Jin Datang asked back.
Xu Tingsheng smiled and said, "Then let's not talk about it. But if President Jin comes to see me later, remember that I'm in the middle box."
After speaking, Xu Tingsheng walked away. As he said earlier, it was actually a good thing that Jin Datang was not discussed.
Jin Datang was suddenly a little uneasy, and asked his assistant: "He said, he is in the middle box?"
The deputy nodded.
