In a normal banquet, everyone leaves one after another after the banquet is over, but for banquets similar to Zhu Xian's celebration banquet, the banquet really begins only after the meal.
Eating is secondary. Even though the food at the Yang Family Banquet is delicious, everyone is a decent person and maintains a certain degree of restraint when eating. The highlight of the day is the toasting session after the meal, and even the chatting in small groups after the toast. This is how connections are made little by little.
Therefore, the time for chatting after the meal was much longer than the time before the meal. Yang Dongxu, who had finished a round of toasts, spent most of the time chatting with official comrades.
But we didn't keep chatting, we just gave a rough idea, and then the official said that if Yang Dongxu was free, he would attend an internal meeting and then left.
It was a little disappointing to see many official people leaving. After all, this was the only presence in the pyramid at the scene. Whether it was Haina's senior management or the official leaders, they were the ones these people wanted to make friends with.
The official people seem to be aware of their status, perhaps because they don't want to steal the limelight from Haina, or perhaps to avoid suspicion. So I left early.
However, although it is disappointing that the official people have left, the top management of Hainer is still there. As soon as the official people left, someone immediately took their place next to Yang Dongxu.
The first people to come over were Wai Tsai and the others. Hua Tsai, Ah Sing and Yang Dongxu were very familiar with each other. Jackie Chan also had a good relationship with Yang Dongxu. Several of his Hollywood blockbusters had the shadow of Haina Investment behind them. Hong Kong star Zhong Wei Zai and others are not so close to Yang Dongxu.
Wei Zai was brought here by Brigitte Lin, accompanied by Maggie Cheung. Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung have known Yang Dongxu for a long time, and the two have collaborated more than once.
Moreover, Maggie Cheung is also one of Haina's contracted artists, and she is not stupid enough to say that she wants to live a casual life and retire at her peak.
Although it is true that he does not necessarily get one in a few years, but because of his good temperament, he has been active in the advertising circle, and he has many big-name endorsements that have always been in the public eye, and he is also a transcendent existence in the circle.
As for Lin Qingxia's occasional guest appearances in some dramas and her early marriage to a wealthy businessman, her reputation in the industry seems to be declining, but her status is also very transcendent.
Both of them had a good relationship with Wei Zai, so they took this opportunity to bring Wei Zai to Yang Dongxu to show his face. In fact, there are many celebrities in Hong Kong who want to follow Yang Dongxu's path.
Although there is still a little bit of the last afterglow in Xiangjiang's entertainment industry, the sunset is still the sunset after all. If you want better development, you must step into the big stage of the mainland, and if you want to be successful in the mainland, you can't get around it.
What's more, Heiner has always been fair in dealing with things. Not only is he a huge platform, but he also has top-notch resources and direct tickets to Hollywood. Being able to cooperate with Heiner is the dream of many stars.
With Wei Tsai's current status in the industry, it would not be difficult for him to take the initiative to contact Haina. Although Haina is committed to building his own empire platform, he does not refuse to sign stars, and even cultivates stars himself.
Cooperating with a star like Wei Tsai is mutually beneficial for both parties. But he couldn't rely on him, so I have to mention Hua Zai.
Andy was one of the first celebrities from Hong Kong and Taiwan to get close to the mainland entertainment industry. Not only was he among the first to sign a cooperation contract with Haina, but he was also very good friends with Haina's boss Yang Dongxu.
Everyone understands the relationship between Wei Zai and Hua Zai. It is precisely because of this scruple that Wei Zai has never taken the initiative to get close to Haina.
But now it’s impossible not to get close to him. Although Wei Zai has been doing well in these years, as long as he has good works, his position in the circle is particularly stable. But now the mainland and Hong Kong entertainment circles are basically completely merged.
If we don't cooperate with Haina at this time, our resources will definitely be squeezed in the future, and it will be basically impossible to make further progress in our career.
So this time when Haina held a celebration banquet, Wei Zai took the initiative to contact him and wanted to come over to congratulate him. He also roped in a few friends in his circle to help, so there was a scene where Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung brought him over.
"Director Yang, President Zhou!" Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung greeted first.
"Just call me by name. It's been a long time since I've seen you so openly." Yang Dongxu said with a smile and nodded to Wei Zai next to him as a greeting.
Zhou Ya also smiled and nodded in response, her eyes lingering on Wei Zai for a moment. To say that Shuai Weizai is definitely not very handsome, but his temperament is really good, especially his eyes are indeed very charming, even with his height...
"It's been so long since I last saw you that I thought you didn't even know who we are, so we need to be more formal." Brigitte Lin said.
As the eldest sister, Brigitte Lin is actually more comfortable getting along with Yang Dongxu than others. She can say some words and jokes, but others can't.
"Don't blame me, you didn't call me to invite me to dinner." Yang Dongxu joked with a smile.
Listening to Yang Dongxu's funny words, Brigitte Lin and others couldn't help but laugh. Zhou Ya patted Yang Dongxu and signaled to him that it was the right time and he should not act accordingly.
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner another day. It doesn't matter if you come or not. Then just show your face on the video and let the restaurant owner put the bill in your name." Brigitte Lin also joked.
After chatting with each other, Brigitte Lin pulled Wei Zai next to her and said, "Let me introduce someone to you. This is Wei Zai. Wei Zai, this is Director Yang."
"Hello, Director Yang!" Wei Zai stood upright and looked very cautious. With his current status and status, it cannot be said that there are no people in the circle who make him cautious, but there are already very few, and the person in front of him is undoubtedly still that young. There is no one who is the most powerful among several people.
"Relax, don't be so nervous. Just get to know each other. Am I that scary?" Yang Dongxu said jokingly. Wei Zai stretched his muscles and smiled.
"Wei Zai is going to shoot Director Wang's The Grandmaster. Many scenes will be shot in the Mainland. He will come to the Mainland often in the future. Please help take care of him." Brigitte Lin said. This was a perfect introduction.
After all, a big star like Wei Zai is praised by others wherever he goes to film, so how could he need someone to take care of him while taking care of others?
"It's all people in the industry who say this, but outsiders don't know. When the movie is released, I will ask Hurricane Cinema to provide more filming." Yang Dongxu said angrily.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang. Thank you very much." Wei Zai said quickly.
Brigitte Lin and Maggie Cheung also had smiles on their faces, and the matchmaking was obviously successful this time. Although the movie has just been prepared for filming, it is still not released, especially the movie directed by Wong Kar-Wai. In addition to additional investment halfway, the release date has been delayed.
But what a few people were talking about was about the movie, but it wasn’t about the movie.
"Director Yang!" Just when several people were enjoying themselves, Li Ming led someone over.
Liming seems to have little contact with Yang Dongxu and basically no cooperation with Haina, but in fact, the relationship between the two is quite good in private.
Because Lai Lai is keen on charity and has done it a long time ago. Ever since his brother accepted the charity work of Runyu Foundation in Hong Kong, Lai Lai has been one of the most active celebrities. He not only donated money but also personally went around to help raise funds.
The two parties only seem to have little cooperation on the surface, mainly because Liming is really going to retire, and since he doesn't do anything himself, there is nothing to cooperate with Haina.
