When... As the clock struck eight o'clock, all the guests stopped their discussion with a smile.
"Anders' first auction of the new year has officially begun."
As the auctioneer made a sound, the picture of Xiaochun Chaozhu appeared on the big screen below.
"Everyone, the first auction item is a court pearl belonging to Empress Xiaochun, the last empress of the Qing Dynasty."
"Emperors, empresses, civil and military ministers of the Qing Dynasty were required to wear court beads when they wore court or auspicious clothes. Each plate of court beads was composed of one hundred and eight round beads, decorated with Buddha heads in between, with 'back clouds' hanging behind them. There are three strings of small beads on both sides of the chao bead, which are called 'memorials'. Their textures are diverse, including East beads, coral, lapis lazuli, dense amber, jade... and this string is extremely rare, with one hundred and eight beads of the same size. Chaozhu made from Dongzhu!”
Lang Yuanqing looked at the screen with a dull face, the muscles on his face twitching slightly.
What a shame.
Who would have thought that the Niu Hulu family, who was so famous at the time, would have their ancestral belongings being auctioned off?
"If the country hadn't seen us as relatives of the former emperor and given us a piece of land to collect pearls, I'm afraid..."
"Dad." Before he could finish his thoughts, a middle-aged man beside him gritted his teeth and said, "We...really have no hope of getting back our ancestors' relics this time?"
Lang Yuanqing lowered his eyes: "Hope?"
"Langxing Pearl has been in business for more than 80 years and is still just a medium-sized enterprise. Where does the hope come from?"
He couldn't help but raise his voice: "As long as you guys put some thought into your career, Anders will send the beads back! Instead of us licking our faces to buy them!!"
On the main stage, the auctioneer bowed deeply: "The auction has begun, please bid."
Almost at the same time, in the VIP room, Zhao Ziluo said without hesitation: "Ten million!"
Xiang Ling, who was using the computer to call out prices, was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood.
This tells everyone that he is determined to get this string of beads!
brush--! In the main auction room, rows of data flashed on the screen instantly.
"On the 17th, five million!"
The auctioneer's voice suddenly rose and he shouted excitedly.
"Five and a half million."
"Six million!!"
"Seven million!"
"Seven and a half million!"
Before Lang Yuanqing could breathe a sigh of relief, several bids rang out.
"No. 03, 10 million!!"
On the seat below, Lang Yuanqing almost stood up! !
"Ten million?" He firmly decided on the offer, knowing very well that this person was likely to be their final opponent.
This ten million is to announce to the world.
At the same time, it also brightens the muscles.
In the entertainment industry, charity can be offset against personal income tax.
But those who have to pay a tax of 10 million are all the kings and queens in the industry, super bosses.
No one wants to fight with these people if it is not necessary.
However, he is also determined to get this string of beads! !
Taking a deep breath, he raised his sign again without hesitation.
"No. 17, eleven million!"
Sure enough, it is very effective in brightening muscles.
Lang Yuanqing waited for five seconds before the second offer appeared.
"On the 21st, one thousand one hundred five hundred thousand!"
"Do you have any other friends making offers?"
"As you all know, most of the items belonging to the emperor and empress are in the museum. Only a few items have been leaked out. If you miss this time, I'm afraid you won't have the chance next time!"
As soon as I finished speaking, No. 03 quoted me again!
"Fifteen million!"
Sure enough, it was him... After determining the final opponent, Lang Yuanqing was not in a hurry.
"No. 17, 20 million!" When the auctioneer saw the bid, he was so excited that his voice was raised.
The warm-up auction amount is 20 million!
This can all be recorded!
And it seems... neither of these two parties wants to give in!
"Are there any more bids?"
"And that friend is interested in Chaozhu...25 million! No. 03, 25 million!!"
"Zi..." "Who is this?" "Are you feeling angry?"
Suddenly, the discussion below exploded, and eyes flicked around the VIP room above in confusion.
"Dad, it seems that No. 03 is going to fight us to the end!" Beside Lang Yuanqing, a middle-aged man was a little anxious: "We have made most of last year's profit, and now we have made 60% of it!"
Lang Yuanqing pursed his lips hard: "Continue."
"But dad..."
"I said go on!" Lang Yuanqing did not hesitate: "Three million plus! This court pearl is not worth that money. Twenty million is already double the premium! I don't believe he will buy it after three times the premium!"
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and operated quickly.
When the price of 28 million appeared on the quotation board, the whole scene was boiling!
"Twenty-eight million! Twenty-eight million on the 17th!!" The auctioneer's voice was hoarse. It was no longer a question of whether he wanted to control it or not.
I can't control it at all!
The blood pressure rushes to the top of my head!
Even if this is placed on the grand finale, it is rare!
"Do you still want to follow?" Xiangling also became nervous in the VIP room.
The excitement of personally operating an auction worth nearly 30 million is unparalleled!
"and!"
Zhao Ziluo also had no hesitation.
Absolute pitch, he must win!
Xiangling took a deep breath: "Calm down, if you follow me again, the price will triple!"
"Follow." Zhao Ziluo's voice was very decisive.
Three seconds later, the numbers that appeared on the screen made everyone's eyes fall to the floor!
"Thirty-five million?" A top-tier singer looked at the screen in stunned silence, then looked around: "Is the world crazy or am I crazy?"
However, more people in the entertainment industry, whether in film, television or music, all looked towards the VIP seats.
Definitely a great god!
At least he has the status of a music god and a top director!
The first-line earner earns tens of millions a year, while the king earns less than 100 million before tax.
No one will buy an item at a premium of several times the price.
Only writing songs means printing money, and making movies and TV shows means making money. Only a boss of this level dares to spend so much money!
"Dad! Do you want to increase the pressure?" The voices of several descendants around Lang Yuanqing changed their tone.
The current situation has completely exceeded their expectations!
"We originally planned to have a maximum of 25 million, but now it has exceeded too much! It will affect the industrial layout next year!"
Lang Yuanqing felt his lips were a little dry.
At this stage of the auction, it is already too difficult to get off.
He wanted to get back his ancestor's belongings.
But I also don’t want to offend the big boss on the second floor.
The whole place fell silent, as if waiting for No. 17's decision.
The auctioneer raised his hammer: "Queen Xiaochun's pearl, the current price is 35 million! Are there any bids?"
"Everyone, this opportunity must not be missed before it comes again."
"First time in thirty-five million!"
"Thirty-five million for the second time!"
"Three thousand..."
Before the second word could be said, the whole audience let out a cry of exclamation.
No. 17, 40 million!
Nearly four times the premium!
"Four... forty million..." The auctioneer was stunned for three seconds, and then shouted: "Forty million on the 17th! Who else is bidding?"
"Dad..." Around Lang Yuanqing, the children were hesitant to speak.
Forty million.
Stud!
That’s all the cash they have available!
Lang Yuanqing didn't answer, just stared at the screen.
Don't come out again...
He prayed silently in his heart.
"Are you going to sell it again?" In the VIP room on the second floor, Xiangling's forehead was also covered with beads of sweat: "It's four times the premium! Teacher Kong Fang, don't get angry!"
"If you get excited about the auction, it's a bottomless pit!"
Zhao Ziluo's heart was also in doubt.
No wonder the mission is: get the first lot.
This Niu Hulu clan is determined to win!
And he was running out of cash.
"Since his debut, Li Chuhan's four songs, three consecutive hits in 1989, and October, and Lady Shexiang... These are all songs I wrote before I signed with a company, so I got the big deal."
"But the total is only over 50 million."
"If you invest everything, even if you get the absolute sound, your plan for wealth and freedom will be postponed..."
Which one is more important?
Thirty seconds passed quickly, and the auctioneer raised the auction hammer again.
The auctioneer raised his hammer: "Queen Xiaochun's pearl, the current price is 40 million! Are there any bids?"
"Everyone, this opportunity must not be missed before it comes again."
"Forty million first time!"
In the VIP room, Xiangling wanted to remind Zhao Ziluo.
But in the end he kept his mouth shut.
In her opinion, this is already very uneconomical.
"Forty million for the second time!"
At this moment, Zhao Ziluo finally decided.
"Quote."
His voice was calm: "Forty-three million."
Backed by entertainment works from the entire planet, it is not difficult to achieve financial freedom.
But if you miss the absolute sense of sound, you may never get it again!
As for the money for filming The Legend of Zhen Huan...
Went to his!
Take one step at a time!
Following his words, Xiang Ling typed quickly.
"Forty million third... forty-three million! Forty-three million!!"
The auctioneer almost broke his voice!
For ordinary seats below, all the celebrities were shocked speechless by the price.
"Crazy." A diva took out a fan and fanned the wind while exhaling: "It's really crazy..."
"Forty million... Just to buy a pair of beads... This amount of money is too scary!"
There was a lot of discussion.
The moment the 43 million came out, Lang Yuanqing closed his eyes in despair.
Come with the ambition to win.
Unexpectedly, he came back defeated.
The regret in my heart is hard to express in words.
The son next to him said with relief: "Dad, it's okay if you didn't buy it. After all, 40 million is still very important to Langxing Jewelry..."
"You know nothing!" Lang Yuanqing opened his eyes and yelled angrily: "This is what our ancestors left behind! They were sold by some prodigal son back then! Now they are left to wander outside?!"
"Where did you and me come from without her? Where did you come from? Bastard!"
Before he could finish his rant, the voice of announcement had already sounded.
"Queen Xiaochun Dongzhu Chaozhu, 43 million."
His voice was already a little hoarse, but now, his mood has calmed down.
"Is there anyone else bidding?"
After waiting for thirty seconds, he loudly said: "Forty-three million first time."
"Forty-three million for the second time!"
"Forty-three million for the third time!"
Boom——!
The auction hammer falls.
"Congratulations to buyer No. 03! Purchased Queen Xiaochun's Chaozhu!!"
When he heard this voice, Zhao Ziluo breathed a long sigh of relief in the VIP room.
Xiangling also slumped in her position and murmured: "Forty-three million dollars to buy a string of beads... You are somewhat mentally disturbed."
Zhao Ziluo smiled and didn't explain much.
But just when he was about to look at the system, he suddenly froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning. He raised his head and said blankly: "How much?"
"Forty-three million!!"
"You know you regret it! More than 40 million!"
Zhao Ziluo blinked his big eyes.
He just suddenly made a calculation in his mind.
I wanted to calculate how much money I had left. After calculating the results, I suddenly discovered...
Since his debut, he should have more than 90 million...
Zhi...
"Forty million, exactly about 40%."
This is crazy...
He understood it all.
“Isn’t this personal income tax?!”
“I was previously rewarded without having to pay taxes, but now you’re waiting for me here?!”
This operation.
Too coquettish.
So sexy that my heart aches like a knife!
"Teacher Kong Fang...what's wrong with you?"
Xiangling suddenly noticed that Zhao Ziluo's facial features were a little distorted. She covered her chest and asked anxiously.
After spending 40 million, your heartache will stop?
Zhao Ziluo waved his hands with a face full of pain, but the sourness in his expression was not enough to explain to outsiders.
"The rewards given out can actually be recovered with secondary rewards?"
"I'm so convinced by this guy!"
This wave.
This time, the system predicted his prediction!
He thought he was on the fifth floor.
but.
The system is in the atmosphere!
He spoke coldly in his mind: "Woman, you'd better give me an explanation."
Ding--!
The systematic explanation comes.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the special mission of the deputy main line."
"Reward: Absolute Pitch has been distributed."
"Please note that absolute pitch is the highest talent in the music department. It cannot coexist with the 'absolute sense of color' in the color art department and the 'black hole in the brain' in the film and television department."
Damn... I can't get angry anymore.
Zhao Ziluo closed his eyes, feeling slightly numb in his mind. A warm current poured in from the cochlea, and he seemed to hear a click, as if some valve had been opened.
Unfortunately, the VIP room was very quiet and he couldn't hear anything special.
Hmm... Xiangling's heavy breathing doesn't count.
He couldn't help but turn on his phone and clicked on Li Chuhan's "As You Wish."
He once listened to this song and felt that the other party had already sung it very well.
But now it sounds like there are still many flaws!
"The seventh word of the chorus is not accurate...the fifth word of the second line of the second verse is a quarter beat lower...fuck me, is it so awesome?"
Even professional music teachers may not be able to hear these flaws.
But after just a cursory listen, he felt that the flaws were as dazzling as fireflies in the night sky!
He listened to the songs one by one, distinguishing them quickly in his mind. Xiangling next to her was already dumbfounded.
Ahhh... Is this the quasi-Samsung Leshen?
I just bought it for more than 40 million yuan, and a second ago I was clutching my chest with heartache, so I turned around and started listening to the song.
I can't understand it at all!
Kong Fang.
poisonous!
…………
Boom... The gavel tapped lightly on the table: "Congratulations to Guest No. 03, for taking the photo of Queen Xiaochun Chaozhu!"
"Let's go." Lang Yuanqing felt sad in his heart, shook his head, stood up and left.
"Dad...are we leaving like this?" As soon as they reached the door, a woman couldn't help but said.
Just then, a staff member came over.
"Mr. Lang, guest No. 03 invites you to his room for a chat."
"No!" The middle-aged man snorted: "What? Are you here to show off to us? Go back and tell him, there is no need!"
"Presumptuous!" Lang Yuanqing finally couldn't bear it anymore and looked at the other party with a look of hatred.
Then he turned around and said to the waiter with a smile: "No need for Xiao Xu, we have important things to do and we have to rush back to Liaodong immediately."
He doesn't want to and can't offend the top bosses in the entertainment industry.
The staff whispered: "Guest No. 03 said that there is no other meaning in asking you to go."
"I just have some questions that I need to ask you about that string of beads."
"As long as you agree, the string of beads will be given to you as a meeting gift."
Lang Yuanqing's pupils shrank slightly, and the three children around him couldn't help but take a deep breath.
More than 40 million court beads, just give them away?
What the hell is this...?
The middle-aged man's attitude was no longer bad, but he whispered: "Who is VIP No. 03..."
"Lead the way."
Before he could finish speaking, Lang Yuanqing spoke without hesitation.
Following the waiter up the stairs, he pushed open the door. When he saw the people in the room, he couldn't help but said, "Are you... Teacher Kong Fang?"
"You also know me?" Zhao Ziluo smiled and asked the other party to sit down.
Lang Yuanqing's eyes were full of surprises!
He thought about who must buy the Chaozhu, but he never expected that it was the famous Kong Fang!
"How could you not know?" He suppressed his excitement and smiled: "Any jewelry business, no matter how big or small, is inseparable from the entertainment industry."
"Although Langxing Pearl is young, she has hired several celebrities to endorse her. How could she not know the teacher's name?"
As he spoke, his mind was spinning rapidly.
Why is he looking for me?
Now there are so many artists who want to ask him to sing. If he is willing to support himself, Langxing Pearl will develop rapidly!
His heart began to beat wildly.
Maybe... it's not a bad thing that I didn't buy the Chaozhu!
Zhao Ziluo got straight to the point: "Mr. Lang, have you ever heard of Niu Hulu and Zhen Huan?"
"Of course." Although Zhao Ziluo was only old enough to be Lang Yuanqing's grandson, he was extremely respectful and said with a smile: "Niu Hulu. Zhen Huan, the imperial concubine of Yong Zhengye, the second emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The third emperor of the Qing Dynasty. loving mother."
"Her father was Zhen Yuandao, a court official. His original surname was Zhen, and he was later given the surname Niu Hulu. His life was very legendary."
"Her deeds are recorded in detail in our family tree."
Zhao Ziluo nodded: "That's right, I'm going to shoot a TV series with Zhen Huan as the protagonist. If Mr. Lang is willing, I would like to ask Mr. Lang to be the art director of this TV series."
silence.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Lang Yuanqing, who was so enthusiastic just now, felt as if his neck was being pinched in an instant. After a long time, he said in disbelief: "I'm sorry, teacher, you mean... you want to make a TV series?"
"yes."
Lang Yuanqing swallowed: "But you are not..."
Aren’t you almost touching the ceiling in the music world?
This...is very different from what I expected!
Zhao Ziluo smiled: "People always have to be challenged."
"In this TV series, I will find the actors with the best acting skills and invest 100 million."
Lang Yuanqing moved his lips several times and finally said: "Can I ask what position Teacher Kong Fang plays in this TV series?"
"screenwriter."
"Then...you are wholly owned?"
"Yes, in addition, this drama adopts a writer-centered system. I am very confident in its success." Zhao Ziluo said patiently: "You may not believe it, but I think it will be the next phenomenon."
silence.
Lang Yuanqing lowered his eyes and looked at the tea in front of him, and after a long time he said: "Teacher Kong Fang, please allow us to think about it."
"certainly!"
Lang Yuanqing smiled and cupped his hands, pushing the door open and leaving.
Boom.
After the door closed, Zhao Ziluo and Xiang Ling looked at the box on the table at the same time.
Lang Yuanqing did not take the beads.
Didn't even ask when leaving.
This is rejection.
No hesitation, without even reading the script!
"This is the attitude of the industry." Xiang Ling said calmly: "The greater the reputation, the greater the backlash."
Zhao Ziluo tapped the armrest lightly with his knuckles.
So far, no one thinks highly of him.
Taking turns to persuade, Director Zhu, Minister Zhan, Xiang Ling, Director Chen...
Now even the descendants of the Niu Hulu family, after hearing the news, were so frightened that they didn't even dare to ask for Chaozhu and left quickly.
I'm afraid that if I go too slow, he will be implicated when the show collapses.
"interesting."
After a long time, he smiled and said: "I don't want to give you money, then... I hope he won't regret it."
…………
Boom.
In the black car, Lang Yuanqing closed the door and pressed his eyebrows hard.
"Dad, who is No. 03?" The son couldn't help but asked curiously.
Lang Yuanqing said somewhat complicatedly: "It's Teacher Kong Fang."
"Kong Fang? The songwriter of the album Above the Moon?" "The author who is very popular in the music industry right now?"
Lang Yuanqing looked at his hopeful children and nodded: "It's him."
"Great!" The son clapped his thigh excitedly: "If Teacher Kong Fang helps, Langxing Pearl will definitely..."
"He wants to make a TV series."
Before he finished speaking, everyone in the car was stunned.
"TV series?" After a while, my daughter said in disbelief: "Can he do it? Does he know how to make TV series? Isn't he crazy?"
My son also found it unbelievable: "You are lucky enough to have written a few popular songs, so you think you are righteous? Do you think you are omnipotent in the entertainment industry? What a joke!"
"So I said no."
Lang Yuanqing said: "He originally planned to give the Chaozhu to me, but I didn't dare to take it."
"how……"
Lang Yuanqing interrupted: "People with short hands, Lang Xing doesn't dare to take something worth more than 10 million."
"This TV series will definitely be popular after it is filmed. How famous Kong Fang is now, how hard he will be criticized by then!"
"Langxing Temple is small and cannot withstand big storms! Remember this."
The children nodded.
The young man who had been silent until now suddenly whispered: "But... what if the TV series he filmed becomes a big hit?"
"Use your brain and think about it!" Lang Yuanqing glared at him with hatred: "This is a cross-border! A cross-border!"
"Not to mention the issue of tolerance in the film and television industry. He who writes songs knows what camera language is? Does he know what acting is?"
"And invest 100 million... Heh, do you really think you can make a good TV series by finding a popular star, writing a random script, and finding a good director?"
"Just watch, everyone involved in this drama will become a laughing stock in the industry from now on!"
After saying that, he laughed.
Originally, he thought that someone who could rewrite the history of the music industry within half a year of his debut was so amazing and talented.
But now I look at it.
He's just a young boy.
"Young people always have their hearts higher than the sky and their lives thinner than paper."
He shook his head and sighed, erasing the name Kong Fang from his heart, raised his head and said, "Drive."
"Go back to Liaodong."
"If Kong continues to contact us, say I am not in the country!"
