The rehearsal on the first day of the party was a formality and ended at five o'clock in the afternoon.
After the show, the TV station arranged a dinner party in their canteen downstairs.
Many artists and their managers declined, saying they had other activities in the evening and would not attend the dinner.
It is impossible for the TV station to treat everyone to eat and drink at public expense. Dining in the cafeteria is already a big deal, but the artists don't buy it.
"Chen Mo's manager has organized a bureau, booked a large box, and arranged two tables. Let's go together later."
Yun Qiao said to Cheng Yuan and Xu Hua.
Chen Mo is a big star in the TV drama circle and a top-notch actress.
Jiang Ning was on her crew, supporting her in scenes.
She is a star in Beijing circles, so the TV station invited her to come back to participate in the Chinese Valentine's Day party. She asked for leave from the crew and came over.
When the TV series started, Yun Qiao met her and her agent.
No matter how well-maintained Chen Merao is, no matter how "girly" her fans praise her, she is still thirty-five this year.
She debuted at the age of sixteen, has been in the entertainment industry for nearly twenty years, and has a wide network of contacts.
She and her agent were very polite to Yun Qiao.
During this meeting, Chen Mo also took the initiative to chat with Yun Qiao. He praised Jiang Ning for being humble and loving to learn, and he was a bit supportive of Yun Qiao.
Yunqiao is naturally knowledgeable.
Chen Mo invited a few well-known artists he knew to have a dinner together, and brought Cheng Yuan with him.
"... Cheng Yuan must go, and Director Ai from the TV station will also go."
Chen Mo's agent specifically warned, "Whether Cheng Yuan can attend the Spring Festival Gala this year depends on Director Ai's wishes. Sister Yun, you know."
Cheng Yuan, whose business ability is at its peak, now also needs recognition from mainstream TV stations.
Although Cheng Yuan himself has connections in this area, Yun Qiao only needs to ask Cheng Fengding for help to get it done.
However, Yun Qiao still accepted the offer from Chen Mo and her agent.
"Okay, we'll go."
Yun Qiao said.
On the way, Yun Qiao told Cheng Yuan about Director Ai.
Cheng Yuan was very disdainful: "If I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala, I can go there casually."
"That's true, so let's just deal with this social interaction casually."
Yun Qiao said.
Cheng Yuan: "..."
Xu Hua laughed beside him.
Cheng Yuan is like Monkey Sun, he can't escape from Yun Qiao's Wuzhishan.
The commercial car arrived at the restaurant quickly.
The waiter led them to the private room.
I am used to seeing the world, even if all the big stars come here, the waiters do not look sideways, they only do their own jobs, their smiles are standard and enthusiastic.
There were a total of eight artists at this dinner party.
Four people came from the TV station, including Director Ai, but the director did not come.
During the rehearsal, I didn’t see the stage director either.
A total of two tables were arranged. Artists and people from the TV station sat at one table without their managers; Yun Qiao and others sat at the other table.
There were not only agents but also assistants at Yun Qiao's table, and they were crowded with more than twenty people.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was even more lively than the table next door.
However, the table next door looked more upscale, and they started smoking.
Chen Mo and Cheng Yuan also took cigarettes and lit them in a gregarious manner.
The agents don't dare to smoke, for fear that the smell of smoke will affect other people.
Director Ai loves to joke, but as he talks, he starts to become obscene and say some nasty things.
"Yan'er, your breast pads are so high, are you tired?"
He was with a female artist next to him.
The female artist has a nice stage name, but her real name is Shi Yan, and she is often ridiculed by fans.
Director Ai directly called her by her real name and even made fun of her figure.
Another male artist echoed: "Director Ai, don't say that, Yan'er's is the original."
"Is it original Yan'er?"
Director Ai asked, "I don't remember that before."
"Have you met, Director?"
Director Ai smiled and said nothing.
Everyone booed.
The female artist was afraid that others would think she couldn't take a joke, so even though she wanted to scold her in her heart, she had no choice but to cater to her, saying with a smile, "The director has a poor memory, so I got all mixed up" and so on.
We are all old fools, and the more we say it, the worse it sounds.
This is not the first time Yun Qiao has participated in such a dinner party. As long as one party is not obviously bullying, but everyone is being beaten and others are willing to accept it, she will turn a blind eye.
No one dares to make fun of her anyway.
Of course, not every dinner party is like this, more than 70% of dinner parties are quite normal.
"Cheng Yuan, please sit next to me."
Director Ai suddenly said, "This is the first time I've seen you in person. You look so handsome."
Everyone cheered more enthusiastically.
Yun Qiao frowned slightly, a little worried that Cheng Yuan would get angry.
