The dazzling array of congratulatory gifts makes people's hearts beat, and all flesh and blood people will flock to them.
Of course, Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen are not immune to this.
As more and more gifts were displayed, they could no longer hold on to the pretentiousness of celebrities. They all stood up and followed the crowd to the long stage where the gifts were displayed at the entrance, and looked around carefully.
And the more I look at it, the more surprised I am, and the more I look at it, the more envious I am.
For no other reason than the representatives of each factory or the old craftsmen themselves, what they send are all high-quality products recognized by those in the industry.
Either it was carefully selected in the warehouse, or it was made by old craftsmen purely for Ning Weimin. How can it be worse?
So when he came back and sat down again, Jiang Wen couldn't help but sigh with gleaming eyes, "That pretty boy named Ning is not simple. He can actually receive so many good things when he gets married. I don't understand why these manufacturers are following
Who is he to praise him so much as if he were his biological father? Is it a crime?"
Liu Xiaoqin said at this time, "Isn't this strange? Ning Weimin and the Temple of Heaven Park have cooperated on too many projects. From the earliest Zhai Palace Stone Sculpture Exhibition to the current summer book fair, there are many exhibitions in the Temple of Heaven Park.
They were all funded and organized by him on behalf of Pierre Cardon Company. Many of them involve the art industry, especially the Tan Palace Restaurant, which needs to purchase a large number of art works. Now they are called "museums called restaurants" by foreigners.
Think about his status in the eyes of these manufacturers. I have told you before that Ning Weimin is not simple at all. Do you believe it now? Now you know that the real person does not show his face, right?"
At this time, Jiang Wen was several years younger than Ning Weimin.
Perhaps it was because of his youth and arrogance, or perhaps because of false pride. The facts were clearly indisputable, but he still insisted on showing his disdain.
"Oh, look at you, you are almost blowing him up to the sky. Yes, even if what you said is true, it doesn't mean anything. First of all, no matter how powerful he is, it is only in the name of Pierre Cardon Company. This
It's not his real ability. He's leaving Pierre Cardon's company, so who is he? Let's just say the people who flatter him are all craftsmen. In fact, it's not a big deal. If I want to flatter him, I might as well go and beg.
Where is MADAM Song? I don’t have to fawn over him, right?"
Liu Xiaoqin couldn't see his pettiness and said, "Don't say that, MADAM Song values him very much. Even the French fashion master Mr. Pierre Cardin himself gave him shares in order to keep him."
But Jiang Wen, who was unconvinced, raised his face and said, "You just listened to those people's nonsense. Are there such eight things? If it is really like what you said, then he can still do it! I don't see him being invited today.
What kind of big shot is coming! Among the people who came to congratulate us, in addition to people from our circle, there are also colleagues and subordinates from his company, including some factory directors. Even if they are factory directors, they are not even big factories.
With a scale of one to two hundred people, I'm afraid it's even less than the city's. He, I'm still saying that, at most he's just a pony working for foreigners! At best, he's a comprador, at worst, he's a bastard!
No, why haven’t you even seen a big boss with some status? This fully demonstrates the true level of this guy. He is not as awesome as you say."
However, just when Jiang Wen blocked Liu Xiaoqin's words, reality played a cruel trick on him.
I heard the voice of the emcee ring again in front of the theater door, "Mr. Zeng Xianzi, chairman of Hong Kong City Goldlion Company, entrusted Mr. Huang Weiping, general manager of Goldlion China, to congratulate the pair of pure gold and the two immortals. Congratulations to the newlyweds on their marriage and their eternal union..."
"
"Ms. Zheng Mingming, general manager of Mengka Beauty and Hairdressing Group and chairman of Gangcheng Monita Company, congratulates the couple on a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets, and wishes the newlyweds a long, happy and sweet life..."
People from Hong Kong are people from Hong Kong. Goldlion and Mengka actually gave gold items as gifts, showing their wealth and wealth.
And it has to be said that these days, most people in the capital have never had the opportunity to see such a large gold vessel except in the Forbidden City. Naturally, it was very fresh. This immediately attracted many guests who had just seen it to gather again and come back to watch.
.
Especially Liu Xiaoqin knew how stingy Zheng Mingming was, so she couldn't help but exclaim at this time.
"Look, people from Hong Kong City actually gave him gold. It turns out that Zheng Mingming was so generous sometimes. Huh, I think I really had no vision at the time, and she was fooled by just a necklace."
As for Jiang Wen, the glittering pair of Hehe Erxian and the pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets placed on the long table were like a slap in the face.
What does it feel like to be slapped in the mouth as soon as you say something?
It hurts so much.
But that's it, this guy is still in trouble.
He actually resisted Liu Xiaoqin's meaningful eyes and had a tough mouth.
"This is nothing. Most of them are thinking about the cooperative relationship for the sake of Pierre Cardon. You see, the chairman of Goldlion didn't come in person either. This is called self-restraint of identity and unwillingness to show up. That's also true.
Afraid of losing status."
However, he said it would be better not to say anything. This kind of seeking compensation would immediately bring him humiliation like a slap in the face.
"Mr. Huang Zhou, a famous painter! I would like to congratulate you on the painting "The Prosperity of Six Animals", and wish the newlyweds a happy and prosperous life..."
"Mr. Aisin Gioro Fu Jie, director of the Ethnic Affairs Committee and director of the Palace Culture Research Association, and his wife, Ms. Aisin Gioro Hao, congratulate each other on a volume of "Spring Outing Ci" written in handwriting. I wish the newlyweds a happy marriage and the birth of their precious son soon.
…”
Now Jiang Wen really lost his temper and muttered, "Oh, this guy really has some background. He even has people in serious cultural circles."
He quickly slipped over, stood at attention, and took the initiative to say hello to Fu Jie and his wife.
For no other reason than that in 1985, he was spotted by director Chen Jialin and played the role of Puyi in the film "The Last Queen". For this role, he not only searched for a lot of historical information about Aisin Gioro Puyi, but also went to
I paid a special visit to the last prince, and with my sweet and humble words, I respectfully asked him about the situation back then, and finally succeeded in shaping this image.
Therefore, for Jiang Wen, when he saw the last prince, he had to treat him with the courtesy of a disciple and regarded himself as a junior.
But maybe it was because the last prince and his wife were so talkative that Yan Yuese chatted with Jiang Wen for a long time.
After coming back, this guy felt that he was good again, and he even boasted about it, trying to put gold on his face.
"Tch, what's the matter? He knows him, and so do we. I didn't know until I asked, but I found out after I asked that Mrs. Jiahao, the lover, came here for Matsumoto Keiko. She wanted to support the little fellow, no.
Doing that pretty boy's thing. What I'm saying is that if he has the ability, he'd hire me, but I don't believe he would..."
Liu Xiaoqin interrupted him at this time, "Okay, just stop talking. If you keep talking, you might be able to name someone else."
Jiang Wen was heartbroken after saying this, but fortunately he didn't say anything again, because in fact, Liu Xiaoqin really got it right.
The next people who came were people from the officialdom, and they came from several government offices.
And not only did many people come, many of them were first-in-commands and second-in-commands, and almost all of them came in cars.
Once these people came, the atmosphere in the theater changed again.
Perhaps due to the official authority, the entire venue became somewhat solemn. Even Jiang Wen truly admitted his defeat and no longer dared to be as unscrupulous as before.
Because after all, he is considered a member of the compound, and he knows several people in the officialdom, but they are the masters who are beyond his reach.
He couldn't even invite such a person to his wedding, but they came for Ning Weimin, so what else could he say?
If you say cheap words, you are really deceiving yourself and others.
So he was also a bachelor. At this moment, he could only sigh inwardly and wonder why Ning Weimin had such connections.
On the surface, he became an honest person again. He only drank tea and smoked, and didn't talk much.
As for the embarrassment, it went away, but it didn't last long.
This is due to the fact that he has often done embarrassing things since he was a child, and has long had a strong heart and thick skin.
In addition, because other actors in the entertainment industry also arrived one after another, he and Liu Xiaoqin were busy dealing with their colleagues.
With such politeness and greetings to each other, the awkwardness was naturally forgotten.
In particular, Liu Xiaoqin also met an old acquaintance whom she had never expected - Liang Jiahui. They were pleasantly surprised and exchanged pleasantries. They greeted each other happily, sat together and chatted about their respective situations.
Jiang Wen had a new object of attention that attracted his attention.
"Oh, Ah Hui, long time no see, I miss you so much!"
"Oh, don't scare me, I'm already married."
Facing Liu Xiaoqin's carefree and unscrupulous enthusiasm.
Although Liang Jiahui had already learned the lesson, he maintained the proper boundaries because of Jiang Wen's presence.
And they deliberately flashed the ring on their finger, avoiding each other's embarrassment with a humorous response.
As expected, his actions immediately won Jiang Wen's favor.
"Ah? Are you really married to Director Li's daughter?"
The reason why Liu Xiaoqin asked this question was because when she and Tony Leung were filming a movie together, Tony Leung was still the prospective son-in-law of director Li Hanxiang and was dating the daughter of the great director.
She didn't know that after Liang Jiahui won the unlimited glory of the Best Actor, he encountered a series of changes in the ban.
Not only did he offend Director Li, but he also lost his girlfriend and was once reduced to running a small stall.
However, now that all the hardships have come to an end, Liang Jiahui has long looked down upon everything.
He smiled nonchalantly and said, "No. We broke up a long time ago. After I returned to Hong Kong City, Director Li wanted to make me a star. I was ignorant and offended him greatly. That's why his daughter hated me for not living up to expectations.
, naturally said goodbye to me. My current wife works in a television station. However, she also likes your performance very much and is considered a fan of yours. I will introduce you to you if I have the opportunity." Just a few words.
Everything was explained in an understatement.
At this time, Jiang Wen took the initiative to reach out and introduce himself to Liang Jiahui.
"Mr. Liang, right? I have admired you for a long time. You were Xiaoqing's original partner. Xiaoqing often said that you were a good mentor and friend, and I benefited a lot from working with you. My name is Jiang Wen, and I am Xiaoqing's current partner."
"Oh, hello, hello. It's an honor and a pleasure. You're welcome. We all make a living by acting. Please communicate more with each other."
Liang Jiahui was also very polite. He not only stood up and shook hands with Jiang Wen, but also introduced a young man next to him to Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Xing Zai. He is also from Hong Kong. He is now hosting shows and also acting in TV series. This time he came to the "Crazy Rich Asians" crew with me to participate in the filming of the movie. His role is the third male lead.
Oh, he has more roles than me. Oh, by the way, his surname is Zhou, and his nickname is Zhou Xingchi, please take care of me."
Hearing what Liang Jiahui said, Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen couldn't help but be startled.
Because in their opinion, this person named "Xingzi" has a plain face and no special characteristics.
And I can't let it go. In this kind of social situation, I actually show a shy and submissive look.
He seems very unsure of himself and doesn't look like a promising actor at all.
In particular, I can't speak Mandarin well, and I can't even call people.
They were even more puzzled and had no idea what the crew of "Crazy Rich Asians" wanted in him.
If nothing else, it’s just because of the language barrier, how to film when such an actor is brought here.
You know, when we first filmed "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" together, Liu Xiaoqin's pressure increased tremendously because of the language barrier.
Because she not only had to memorize her own character's lines, but also Liang Jiahui's lines so that she could continue.
Later, thanks to Liang Jiahui's hard work in learning Mandarin, he was able to communicate normally during the filming of "Politics Behind the Curtain". Otherwise, Liu Xiaoqin would have gone crazy if he had to film a second film like this.
But despite this, as a colleague, you still have to be polite.
Jiang Wenhu said angrily, "It's easy to talk and learn from each other. They look young and promising. It's probably the male lead's turn in the next drama."
Liu Xiaoqin even took the initiative to shake hands with Zhou Xing, which was like a warm spring breeze and made people feel comfortable.
"Hey, you look young. Please call me sister from now on. I'm happy to call you sister. I raised you to call you Xiao Zhou. You are really talented."
Faced with the encouragement from these two people, the future "Star Master" blinked, still looking dull as if he hadn't woken up and didn't know how to respond.
This scene now, if it is shown ten years later, everyone who sees it will probably laugh out loud, and it will be regarded as a famous scene in the film industry.
But to be honest, it cannot be said that Stephen Chow does not know how to deal with the world, but that he is really not familiar with how to deal with northerners.
Of course, despite this, it doesn't really matter.
Because Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqin's focus soon turned to asking Liang Jiahui about the filming situation, because according to their understanding, today at the wedding scene, these crews will be shooting scenes, and some actors will also be acting.
For example, Zun Lung has been putting on makeup backstage, and will perform a Peking opera cross-dressing Wu Dan. Teresa Teng is also preparing to go on stage backstage, and the Japanese director and cameraman have already been in place.
Unexpectedly, when they mentioned this topic, they were about to ask if they could go to the scene to observe and observe, but Liang Jiahui started to complain.
"Hey, Xiaoqing, the requirements in mainland China are so strict now. Even filming here requires military supervision? What can we do? Are you afraid that we will set off bombs? Isn't it too much?
"
Of course Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen didn't understand what he was talking about, and asked with confusion, "What kind of soldier? What's the matter?"
Unexpectedly, Liang Jiahui swore, "He is a soldier. He came to check before we could even shoot, and even us crew members had to be kicked out from the backstage. I just left the leading actor inside. If you don't believe me, just watch."
Liu Xiaoqin and Jiang Wen looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, there were two figures in military uniforms standing on both sides of the backstage, guarding the passage into the backstage.
Most of the Peking Opera actors and crew members were invited outside to wait. Some of them hadn't even put on their makeup yet.
What kind of fuss did this cause?
Why is this soldier still wearing white gloves?
This is obviously...a security guard.
Could it be...could a certain leader also come? How could Ning Weimin have such dignity!
Jiang Wen and Liu Xiaoqin couldn't help but look at each other, and each knew that the other was thinking the same thing as them.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Because backstage at this time, there was indeed a person with a higher status than Huo Yanping. After his introduction, he was shaking hands with the famous Asian diva in the dressing room.
If someone sees this kind of scene, they will directly think of the secret contacts of my underground party during the war years.
As for the purpose of their meeting, of course there was only one - the 1988 Spring Festival Gala.
It has to be said that just like the reason why Da Yin hides in the city, Ning Weimin's wedding today and the excuse for filming "Crazy Rich Asians" are really a good cover-up.
Not only did he hide it from most of the guests, but he also hid it from some special personnel who did not see the good of the Republic and always wanted to hinder the reunification of China.
