Chapter 483 Charity Gala
After setting up the venue and making some phone calls, it was almost seven o'clock.
At this time, some of the guests who came to participate in the charity party had already arrived in advance with a good relationship with Wang Badan.
Tonight's charity gala is not a charity show, but an auction.
Auction some famous paintings, antiques and the like.
The reason why this charity party was held in the form of an auction is because there is a very noble thing in the hands of the eighth birthday. That is the pair of gloves used by the Chinese superstar, Jackie, when he just debuted. It is said that this pair of gloves has been with Brother Jackie for more than eight years, and those eight years were a critical period for the development of Brother Jackie's acting career. Therefore, this pair of gloves is very memorable.
This is the highlight of this auction. There are many wealthy businessmen who are keen on movies. Tonight is for this auction item.
Looking at the guests who walked into the guest seats at the party one after another, Wang Badan seemed to have seen the enthusiastic response when he took out this auction item.
The only regret is that he is not yet qualified to hire Mr. Jackie. If he can, it will be even more explosive.
"Mr. Wang, here? Haha, please, please, please!"
"Chen Dong, thank you for your face! I hope you will take care of me tonight!"
"Please come in, please come in, please sit inside!"
... The eighth birthday of the king shook hands with all the guests present. These wealthy businessmen are worth at least 100 million. Every time they come in, they add a lot of gold to tonight's charity party. More importantly, these big money are all his Wang Badan's connections, so put more money on your face!
Some wealthy businessmen came one after another, and some famous people from the entertainment industry started to attend. Among them, not only the contracted artists under the name of Wanda Entertainment, but also many big names signed by other entertainment companies, most of them came to participate.
"Hehe, martin! You're here? Being able to invite you, a famous record producer, really made tonight's charity gala splendid!" This music producer, martin, is a well-known record producer in mainland China. , The level is very high, and he has produced many platinum-selling records.
"Hello, A Fang, A Peng, you are here? Come in and sit down." These two idol artists have rapidly become popular in recent years. The development of film and television songs has achieved a lot of achievements. Recently, these two He is preparing to enter the record market of Toyo, and it can be said that he has a very high status in Wanda Entertainment.
"Haha, isn't this Wanda's head Huadan Xiaoguo? It's great to have a beauty of your level here tonight." This is Zhou Xiaoguo, not from Wanda Entertainment, but has some personal friendship with Wang Badan. So I accepted the invitation tonight. This Zhou Xiaoguo, an actor who suddenly became popular three years ago, is known as the second generation of Bingbing. The development in recent years, although temporarily unable to compare with Bingbing, is not bad, at least, it has enough capital to look down on the beautiful artists who debuted in the same period.
In addition to these people, there are also many old artists, as well as some new generation idol singers, and some popular actors of TV dramas, all of them are present. Although there are no super top superstars to help out, they are strong enough. At least, these artists They are all well-known enough to raise the attention of this charity gala.
Although Wang Badan is the chairman and chief ceo of Wanda Entertainment, he is still very good at being a human being. At least, on this occasion, he did not put on too much air when facing the artists who were praised by himself. Instead, they smiled and shook hands one by one, and they definitely followed the "people-friendly route".
Therefore, his reputation among the top and bottom of the company is very good, which also directly leads to his connections, which is no weaker than those of the bosses of other big-name brokerage companies.
Looking at the wealthy businessmen, children and daughters of wealthy families, popular actors, singers, directors, screenwriters, and producers who were invited by him, Wang Badan's heart was full of self-confidence. And when he almost received a lot of people, it was almost eight o'clock. At this time, Lorraine and that old man Li hadn't come yet.
"Tsk tsk, did I look at the Li family too much? Don't you dare to come? Or I heard my contacts and influence, so I decided not to come and lose face? Alas? , I'm really bored." Wang Badan stood at the welcoming entrance of the conference site, with a smug smile on his face, and said to himself in his heart.
"Mr. Wang, it's almost time to start, are you going to host on stage?" At this time, his glamorous secretary had already walked over and hurriedly informed him.
Looking at the time again, it was almost time, so he nodded and walked to the main podium of the charity gala with his secretary.
The melodious light music sounded, and Wang Badan stepped onto the host stage with a hint of a favorable feeling.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Wang Batant glanced at the numerous guests under the stage, as well as the row of empty guest seats left for Lord Lorraine and Li Weiguo on the other side. He pushed up the microphone and said with a smile, "Welcome everyone, tonight is my birthday, a charity party in the name of myself, my grandfather Wang Zhicheng, and all the members of Wanda Company. , The general theme of tonight is to hold a charity auction. I hope that in the next three hours, everyone can take care of it. To give a love to charity, I think it is every citizen of China, every citizen of the world. The duty of a citizen!"
He didn't know how many times he said these words on many occasions, and he didn't prepare a speech at all, so he said it out loud.
And this is a somewhat provocative speech, which aroused warm applause from the audience. —Oh, to be exact, a halftime guest. Because the guest seat prepared for Lorraine was still empty at this time.
Many people have noticed this situation, and they do not understand why half of the guest seats at the venue tonight are empty? What is this doing?
Seeing that everyone was looking at the empty guest seats next to each other, Wang Badan laughed and continued: "Maybe you have noticed, why is this half of the guest seats empty? - In fact, there are two people in total tonight. The representative of the fundraiser, the first is my grandfather, Mr. Wang Zhicheng, and the other is Mr. Li Weiguo, who has been an old comrade with my grandfather for many years, but obviously, he has not been there tonight, so I don’t know. ...Is there a traffic jam on the road? Hehe, the traffic in our capital is really a headache now. Why do you have to drive? I prefer to take the subway, it won't get stuck in traffic, and it is environmentally friendly. Many times... See the beauties hidden in the folk."
Saying that, he also shook his head, pretending to be helpless.
Hearing Wang Badan's little humorous joke, there was a gentle burst of laughter from below, but between the laughter, there were still many people with a slight sarcasm and ridicule.
who?
Li Weiguo, Mr. Li?
Is that the hardcore old soldier who was famous in the capital twenty years ago, but was later abandoned by the capital's social circle because of his family scandal?
People like Li Weiguo will naturally offend a lot of people if he has a temper there. When he was active in various circles in the capital, no one dared to offend this stubborn old man, but now it is different. Li Weiguo has long been It's gone, a lonely old man, still stinky?
There are many wealthy businessmen or small wealthy families present, and they were "take care" of Li Weiguo's stinky temper in the past. Therefore, it is natural that Li Weiguo, who is now a tiger in Pingyang, is quite unwelcome.
In this burst of laughter, there were also some boos faintly, and I don't know which old enemies who had bitterness and hatred for Mr. Li were sent out.
"Hehe, I understand everyone's eagerness to contribute to China's charity cause, but we should continue to wait for Mr. Li, who is one of the two fundraisers for tonight's charity party. In principle, we still need to wait patiently. ." Said, raised his hand to look at the time on the watch, and smiled, "There are still ten minutes until eight o'clock, so let's wait another ten minutes. - It's really inappropriate to let everyone continue to wait. Excuse me, so if any of the guests get bored, they can text me to chat, and my text messages are answered very quickly."
It was another joke, which eased the dissatisfaction in the guest room, but through Wang Badan's clever turn, the blame was successfully pushed down on the out-of-date Mr. Li Weiguo. At the same time, it also won the favor of more guests.
I have to say, this Wang Badan is really a master of speaking.
At this moment, two figures, one old and one young, suddenly appeared at the entrance to the party, and at the same time, there were two delicate voices - "Welcome".
Since light music was playing at the venue, all the guests heard it, and turned their heads subconsciously, and saw Lorraine and Li Weiguo who were walking steadily.
"Oh! It turned out to be the long-awaited Mr. Li Weiguo, Mr. Li, and his grandson... Er, Mr. Xiaolin is here, everyone is welcome!" The moment he saw Lorraine and Li Weiguo appearing, Wang Badan felt a little unhappy in his heart, but then he thought about it. The smile on his face became bright again when he realized that there were only two of them alone.
These guys are really cheeky! Not even a single guest was brought to the scene! It's only a few minutes before the charity gala begins! I'd like to see how many invited guests you can have!
Thinking so in my heart, Wang Badan did a very good job on the surface. He walked up in three or two steps, greeted Li Weiguo, and pulled up to the podium with a smile. At the same time, he made a gesture to the staff, and someone called Wang Ba. The birthday grandfather Wang Zhicheng was sent to the stage.
For a time, Wang Zhicheng, Wang Badan, Li Weiguo and Luo Lin stood on the podium.
I don't know, this eighth birthday... What kind of tricks are you trying to do now?
