There were about twenty tables filled to the brim.
This is quite luxurious for the crew.
Fortunately, someone paid the bill.
After entering, the cafes are clearly marked.
The leading actors, behind-the-scenes creators, and representatives from the film and television city were lined up at the first table.
Big leaders and investors will not come, they will eat alone somewhere else.
The other important members of the crew lined up behind.
Behind them are two tables for supporting actors.
There is one table for women and one table for men.
The last dozen or so tables were filled with casual workers from the crew, reporters, and assorted people who didn’t know who they were.
Jiang Yan was sitting in the supporting role seat at this time.
The people sitting at the same table looked very familiar, but I just couldn't place their names.
For example, the old man who played Old Man Tianji, the one who played Qiu Chuji in the green version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, and a bunch of other supporting characters who looked unfamiliar and unknown.
Jiang Yan observed them, and they also observed each other.
Not familiar with either.
But when they look at each other, they will smile and nod in unison.
Anyway, it’s just one word: embarrassing but not impolite.
Fortunately, although Jiang Yan was young, he had seen many such scenes in his previous life.
The most effective way to relieve your own embarrassment is to quietly find someone to get familiar with him first, and don't care about anything else, and don't just sit there by yourself.
So he quickly started chatting with Liu Changsheng, who played the role of Old Man Tianji next to him.
An old BJ person, the more famous character is Wei Yixiao, the Green-winged Bat King.
After talking to Jiang Yan, he found out that he was supposed to sit at the main table, but he declined.
This also shows that the old man is very friendly and doesn't care about fame.
Soon, Jiang Yan and Liu Changsheng started chatting, and naturally led the rest of the people.
Jiang Yan took out the Huazi and spread it around, and the table became obviously lively.
So everyone knew who played whom, and also knew that Jiang Yan was played by Bai Xiaosheng, and he was a good guy.
Jiang Yan observed carefully and found that he did not look at him like he was a fool. Indeed, he had never heard of him before.
So he finally confirmed one thing: the nickname he had taken advantage of had not spread from person to person in the crew.
This is a good thing, but it still doesn't explain the problem.
So, does Yuan Heping want to give himself a chance?
Or is it simply about exchanging work?
What a headache.
In fact, Jiang Yan didn't have to pay attention to this.
You hang me up or you don’t hang me up, so what?
We have money and we won’t be able to rely on you in the future. Who cares about your arrogance?
But Wu Jing is here after all.
If there is a quarrel, where should Wu Jing put it?
Sometimes, people can't always take care of themselves.
So Jiang Yan could only choose to deal with it properly.
...
Not long after, the banquet started.
No leader spoke this time.
It was chief director Choi Seung who did this on his behalf.
He briefly said a few words to inspire everyone, and everyone applauded before picking up their wine glasses.
Have a glass of wine.
This is when the banquet officially begins.
Everyone started using their chopsticks.
But his eyes were always focused on the main table.
Finally, after Xiao Qiang and other leading actors began to toast to the leaders and directors.
The entire banquet hall seemed to have pressed a switch.
Everyone started pouring wine.
Soon, after the leading actors finished toasting, the vigorous toasting action in the banquet hall finally started like Spring Festival travel.
First of all, there are the main creators behind the scenes. One by one, they began to run to the main table in a tacit understanding.
Respect the leaders first, then the directors.
As for paying homage to the leading actors? They are not qualified enough.
If you want to pay tribute, you have to wait until the wedding banquet, and it is the leading actors who pay tribute to them.
The leader was toasted and raised his glass and it was over. Although he was only a representative of the film and television city, as long as he was knowledgeable, he would not look down upon him, so he was qualified to do so.
The directors took a sip. After all, no matter how noble they were, they were still members of the crew.
The people who were toasting were all bored.
After a round, I will have three or five cups if I am lucky.
I was unlucky enough to meet the director with a few words of encouragement and a few drinks.
This is how you play, if you really can’t drink enough, you’ll get drunk right away.
Moreover, the director laughed loudly and pinched the soft persimmon.
For example, right now, the young man behind the scenes turned pale, but he didn't dare to refuse.
"It's a bit exaggerated." Seeing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but sigh.
In his time, public funds were not enough to eat and drink, so he advocated the CD-ROM campaign, did not drink while driving, and encouraged everyone to share responsibility for drinking.
Although you will still drink until you vomit when toasting, basically everyone has a consensus, that is, as long as you have the right attitude, if you drink too much, everyone should advise you to drink less, otherwise everything will be ruined once the incident is exposed.
"Is it an exaggeration?" When Liu Changsheng heard this, he thought it was Jiang Yan who couldn't stand the rules of queuing up for a toast, so he sighed, "No matter how exaggerated, you still have to respect. This is the rule."
"Then this rule will have to be eliminated sooner or later," Jiang Yan said.
"That's right. Times are progressing, and many bad habits will probably be changed."
Liu Changsheng nodded and continued.
"Actually, the mainland is much better. The situation in Xiangjiang and Wanwan is exaggerated. Often at a banquet, we don't even take a few bites of the food, and all the time is spent on toasting. And you can't lose your manners after drinking. If you can't drink anymore, you vomit.
, keep coming back to drink after vomiting. As long as the boss doesn’t say it’s over, you can’t pour it. If you pour it, your chance is gone. It’s very cruel.”
"How did you know?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.
"I went to Xiangjiang in the early years." Liu Changsheng said calmly, "As for Wanwan, it's not like today."
As he spoke, he pointed to the group of behind-the-scenes staff who were queuing up and waiting respectfully for a toast and said: "They are all from Wanwan. They don't know how to do as the locals do when they come to the mainland. How can we be so rigid here, just like the Neon people.
"
"There's still this matter." Jiang Yan didn't expect so many people from Wanwan to come.
No wonder the painting style is different.
"They are all like this, but we are not much better. If we want to survive in this industry, we must adapt."
Liu Changsheng smiled, filled up the wine glass, and then said to everyone at the table:
"It's our turn, let's get together."
The elder spoke, and the supporting characters were immediately overjoyed.
It's better to go as a group.
Avoid being fed.
So soon, the whole table was cheering together.
One by one, they held wine glasses and walked towards the main table with fake smiles on their faces.
.....
"Thank you for your hard work, leader!" Jiang Yan and all the supporting characters came to the main table to toast together.
It was Liu Changsheng who took the lead in speaking. He was the oldest and most powerful.
"Well, I hope you can show your true qualities and work together to create a popular work." When the leader saw an old man bringing a group of people to toast, he didn't mean to blame him at all. Instead, after saying a few words, he picked up the glass and took a drink.
And finished.
It can be seen that this leader is probably annoyed to death by the people in Wanwan.
So everyone thanked him in unison and drank a glass of wine.
Jiang Yan was still thinking about what to do if the leader recognized him.
Fortunately, no one noticed me at all.
That's good, it saves you trouble.
Then continue to pay tribute to the directors.
After the lap was over, the leader and director was very happy. It was great to have come so early.
The supporting characters were even happier because they finally completed their mission and could eat.
But when those people in the Bay Area saw how easy it was to pass the test, there were some who envied it and others who despised it.
Jiang Yan silently said in his heart: Shabi!
Not long after, the leader left the meeting.
The atmosphere at the scene is officially relaxed.
As if celebrating the New Year, everyone visited relatives and friends, toasted and communicated.
But it's still clear.
Cross-strait exchanges still need to work hard.
But Jiang Yan didn't care about this, he was looking at Yuan Heping.
At this time, Wu Jing came close to Yuan Heping, and after exchanging a few words in whispers, she quickly ran to Jiang Yan.
"Hey, it's all a misunderstanding. We thought too much."
Wu Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Director Yuan just asked me a normal question to prepare for future work."
"Oh, I thought I was going to be operated on." Jiang Yan was speechless.
"I think so too, but fortunately it's a mistake." Wu Jing said with a smile, "But having said that, Director Yuan is indeed very strict. Do you know how to use a knife? If not, I will teach you a few moves tonight."
