On December 25, 2009, the 7th Harper's Bazaar Charity Dinner will be held here today at the Beijing International Olympic Center.
As one of the highest-profile charity dinners in the entertainment industry, it is also an event that most celebrities flock to.
Tang An has only been here once in the past few years. He spent 300,000 yuan to buy a limited edition ink pen from a brand he didn't even know, and then left after leaving. It was really not interesting.
It’s okay to do charity, but I don’t know where the money has gone, so why should I spend that unjust money?
In the past, there was no need to come, and it was of little use.
But now he is no longer alone. He is in charge of a large group with hundreds of employees, and its seven or eight artists all need exposure.
Tang An simply brought them all here this year, many of them.
Moreover, Tang An also donated something, a set of exoskeleton mecha made by Tiangong Yicai. Let’s see if anyone wants it.
Seven or eight cars drove into the stadium and stopped near the entrance of an indoor venue.
A large group of reporters surrounded the car before it could stop.
However, the organizer arranged a large number of security guards at the entrance and immediately cleared a path.
Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Sun Li, Tang Yan, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Wang Kai and others all dressed up got out of the car one after another, followed Tang An on the red carpet and walked inside.
As soon as the handsome men and beauties appeared on the scene, the scene was filled with "clicking" sounds.
"Dr. Tang, when will the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" be started?"
"The total box office of "Avatar" has exceeded 300 million in the 9 days since its release. How much does Mr. Tang think the total box office will be?"
"Is 'Edge of Tomorrow' confident of breaking 'Avatar''s box office record?"
...
The reporters took photos and asked questions, and most of them were related to "Avatar".
"Avatar" is also so popular, with a box office of more than 30 million on weekdays, which is not affected by the weekdays at all.
As the holder of the box office record for Chinese-language films, Tang An's new film is of course inevitably subject to comparison.
"'Avatar' represents the pinnacle of the world's film industry. It is unpredictable what the final results will be, but I believe this movie will shock audiences around the world."
"Preparations for "Edge of Tomorrow" have been completed and are expected to start filming in early January."
I dealt with it casually and walked inside to prevent them from getting involved with "Avatar" again.
There is also a red carpet in the infield. You can go up and sign a name on a poster on the wall that no one can recognize, and then let reporters take some photos.
Harper's Bazaar President Su Yun came up to her with a hint of sadness in her tone.
"Dr. Tang, you are a very busy man. You couldn't even invite me in the past two years."
Tang An shook hands with her and said with a smile, "Sorry, Mr. Su, I won't be here this year."
Although this woman has a bad reputation and has all kinds of labels like nouveau riche, flamboyant, and pretentious attached to her, it is still admirable to be able to make a name for herself in the fashion industry.
I came to this city when I was 15 years old and had no intention of returning alive.
What she once said left a deep impression on Tang An and made people admire her.
Su Yun led Tang An side by side to a table in the front row, laughing and asking about Tang An's new film from time to time.
"Dr. Tang, are you making a mecha movie this time? There seems to be no such movie in China."
"Actually, it's a little different from ordinary mechas. This one is called an exoskeleton." Tang An said with a smile.
"That's considered a mecha. Only Hollywood can make such blockbusters. Only Tang Dong in China can try it."
"By the way, Mr. Tang, are you free in two months? I want to make a cover special for you." Su Yuan asked again.
"No problem, but before the Spring Festival, I will return to the capital to attend the premiere of "囧"."
Tang An agreed immediately. When the time comes, buy one and get seven free. Su Yun should not refuse.
"Okay, that's settled." Su Yuan smiled.
With the rise of the Internet, the sales of paper magazines are not as good as before.
Although Tang An is not very handsome, he is very famous. Mentioning his new movie when the time comes will definitely attract a wave of movie lovers.
Compared with other fashion magazine editors, Su Yun is more like a star and a businessman.
After deciding on the exclusive interview, Su Yun went to entertain the others.
A few of them also walked around the stage and came down, said hello to Tang An and sat in the back.
The people sitting at the front row of tables were all company CEOs, including Ma Yun, Pan Shiyi, and Shi Yuzhu.
Pan Shiyi met Tang An and Ma Yun twice and said hello.
"Haha, the relationship between Director Tang and President Su seems to be unusual." Pan Shiyi next to him joked.
"Dr. Pan is joking."
Tang An was complaining in his heart, but you still had the nerve to say that Su Yun even sat in your arms one time.
Next to him, Ma Yun said, "Dr. Tang founded a group at such a young age. It's really not easy. If you are short of funds, you can come to me."
"Dr. Ma, you are so complimentary. Our company is just a start-up. If we need financing, please help me." Tang An said politely.
As time passed slowly, almost everyone arrived.
Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei......
There are many famous tasks in the entertainment and fashion circles.
Several people sat at a large round table one after another.
Tang An's table also included Cheng Long, Li Binbin, Xu Luoxuan, Tang Yan, Yang Mi, Lu Yi, and Su Youpeng.
Half of them were from Huayi, and they were all familiar with Tang An. Although they were a little embarrassed because of Tang An's job change, they could still chat for a few words.
Deng Chao and Liu Ye were at the next table, sharing a table with Wang Zhongjun, Wang Xiaoming, Liu Jialing and others.
The random arrangements were made by Deng Chao, and next to Sun Li were Yang Ying, Wang Xiaoming, and Wang Zhongjun. It was embarrassing.
It was almost time, the dinner officially started, and Su Yun choked up his speech.
First, various celebrities came on stage to sing. Cheng Long, who had a mustache and half-grey hair, sang "Country" and Wang Xiaoming sang a song from the new album.
There is also the classic musical "Cats".
As we chatted and ate and drank, time passed quickly, and then it was time for the auction.
The first lot is a Cartier Dragon's Kiss peerless dazzling jewelry necklace.
The first person to raise a placard was Fang Zuming, followed by Liu Yufei, and the two competed.
But in the end, Wang Zhongjun bought it for 680,000 yuan.
The big boss took action, and the two juniors had no choice but to give up.
Then there is the limited edition Shanghai Duette ostrich leather treasure handbag, which was bought by Guo Xu, president of Aston Martin Beijing Representative Office, for 400,000.
Giorgio Armani multi-color printed gorgeous evening dress, this evening dress Cheng Long took the lead in raising the flag.
A grown man, buy a lady's dress...
Tang An glanced at Xu Luoxuan next to him from the corner of his eye. He was very close to Cheng Long, with his arms on the table and his chin.
It seems that Hua Yi supported him for a while in the next two years. He made seven movies in two years, but they were all rejected.
Cheng Long took action, but there was no competition.
With so many people present, you have to hold up your sign several times to show your appreciation, otherwise you will be told that you do not support charity.
Over there, Liu Yufei, who had just been intercepted by Wang Zhongjun, waited for a while and then raised her sign.
Cheng Long raised his sign again, looked at Tang An and said with a smile, "Dr. Tang, this dress is very beautiful. Don't you want to bid?"
As he spoke, he looked at Tang Yan and Yang Mi rather ambiguously.
Tang An smiled and said, "Uncle Long, how can I be so embarrassed to win someone's love for the dress you like?"
This dress was still bought by Liu Yufei, but then Xu Luoxuan, who was next to Cheng Long, bought a Montblanc Lucky Spirit 88 limited edition ink pen for a high price of 1 million.
1 million for a pen, tsk tsk tsk...
When Xu Luoxuan went to the stage to collect her things, Cheng Long hugged her.
Cheng Long is still the same Cheng Long, eating tofu out of habit.
Cheng Long can often be seen taking advantage of others, but not many of them actually do it.
He is 55 years old, he is old.
The auction continued, and Shi Yuzhu bought a pair of "Sisters in the Garden" for 7.8 million, setting the highest price tonight.
A kung fu shirt and a shirt by Cheng Long were sold for 4.8 million and 1 million respectively.
The "Olympic Opening Ceremony Commemoration" collection signed by Zhang Yimou sold for 1 million.
Fang Zuming bought a red sandalwood architectural model of the side hall of his house for 1 million, which is nearly one meter high and has five models of one meter.
The fiber jade sculpture "Country" was bought by the president of the Chinese Association for 3.99 million.
Then the staff brought up an exoskeleton mecha, which was the one donated by Tang An.
There are many people who donate armor. Cheng Long once donated the armor he wore while filming "Myth".
But this mecha, for the first time, caused a lot of discussion.
The host on the stage was already introducing: "Thanks to Mr. Tang An, chairman of Hantang Media, for donating the exoskeleton mecha. This is the first set of mecha produced for the filming of the science fiction blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow"... .”
Thanks a lot, and after the introduction, the starting price was quoted at 200,000.
The price is not set high to allow more people to participate.
The lights were pointed at Tang An, and the reporters on the scene also took pictures of the mecha on the stage.
This is the first time that Tang An has announced the status of the movie to the outside world. Mecha + science fiction, you can basically guess it.
As soon as the host finished speaking, a voice came from next door.
