At six o'clock in the evening on February 18, 2004, Sun Tao came to the Buckingham Hotel alone for a banquet.
In the past, Sun Tao tried his best to avoid situations like this. After all, Luo Yu was also a gray person. Sun Tao was worried that he would get himself drunk and perform tricks like fairy dance. Luo Yu had wine, ladies and even a lover's suite. And the waterbed, the camera will not be worse than the ones taken in my childhood.
But now Sun Tao is no longer worried. Time has changed and the world has changed. Now those who dare to cheat Sun Tao must at least be in a place like heaven and earth.
Buckingham? No longer qualified.
Of course, it is also because the interests of the two are tied together. It will not benefit Luo Yu at all to engage Sun Tao now.
……
As soon as Sun Tao entered the parking lot outside Buckingham, he was discovered by a group of people. They surrounded Sun Tao and came to the dining room.
The place to eat is on the top floor of Buckingham, in a private room that is never open to the public.
This is also the highest point in Wu'an. The surrounding floor-to-ceiling windows offer a panoramic view of the entire county.
Not to mention the luxury in the room, the accompanying guests are all Buckingham's best.
Luo Yu, Boss Luo is dressed in a very formal suit, and when talking to Sun Tao, his more or less joking expression has become more serious. In his own words: Mr. Sun, you are now a big shot in the capital. How dare I, a mud-legged person from a small place like me, talk to you like that!
Liao Tao, an old acquaintance, used to be Buckingham’s pillar, and is now the manager of Buckingham’s performing arts company;
Zhang Hairong, the strong woman who had sex with Sun Tao, is now Buckingham's human resources manager. She said she manages all the waiters... Seeing her evasive words, Sun Tao understood that she was Mama Sang, the old bustard;
Zhang Qun, a beautiful mature woman and lobby manager, is the first time Sun Tao meets.
There were still some people who didn't listen carefully when Luo Yu introduced them. Only Sun Tao, the three beautiful girls, remembered them. Buckingham's three new little flowers, Li Qinglei's junior sister Zhang, the newcomers trained by Principal Chunhui Art School, all three girls were dressed very well. From Qingliang's perspective, they were planning to show off their talents to Sun Tao during the banquet... Of course, it could also be after the banquet...
……
The banquet started with lobster, abalone, king crab, and a small bowl of something that was either vermicelli or shark's fin, but Sun Tao was only interested in pig meat dishes, and Buckingham's sauerkraut-stewed blood sausage suited his appetite.
Eating is never the purpose of talking about things, but talking about things never gets straight to the point.
After listening to the chat about Yanjing's style and characters, everyone was astonished and then came to propose a toast... After they all fucked, Sun Tao licked them, only Luo Yu came over to clink glasses and he drank a cup, oh, Zhang Hairong even watched and drank. It was more than half a cup. After all, she had also drank Sun Tao's life essence, so she still had to give her face.
There is a projector on the wall opposite, and it can be used as a TV when the curtains are closed. It was still high-tech back then, so Sun Tao was naturally not surprised. His reaction was not surprising to everyone. They just thought it was because he had seen the world in Yanjing.
What was playing on the projector was the Wu'an News Broadcast: "This afternoon, Deputy County Magistrate Wang Jun went to the Wu'an Song and Dance Troupe to inspect and cordially met with all the staff and cast members, and also had a discussion with the famous screenwriter Sun Tao who also visited. had a cordial conversation...Wang Jun pointed out...Sun Tao expressed his intention to provide suggestions for the literary and artistic undertakings in his hometown...The meeting was held in a cordial and friendly atmosphere..."
Luo Yu looked at the projection and turned around and said: "This editor is not very good at first glance. He is a famous screenwriter! Isn't our program planning, Mr. Sun's, famous? The songs he writes, the music he writes, and even the novels he writes are all not famous in China. Second to none! ”
Liao Tao, "That's right, I have to react to Director Zhang later. Isn't this belittling Mr. Sun!"
Zhang Hairong, "Hahaha, I guess you don't need to react, a lot of people will come to eat him."
Sun Tao hurriedly waved his hand, "Forget the other blows, the novels I wrote have never been on the stage. They only have stories and no artistry. They were all written randomly and just to make ends meet."
< br>
Luo Yu, "You are just too low-key. Ask them which of them is not your loyal reader..."
Beautiful Girl 1: [I watched "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" several times. I didn't dare to go to the toilet at night after watching it, hahaha. 】
Beautiful Girl 2: [I like "Fights Breaking the Sky" the most, I think Xiaoyan is the most handsome...]
Beautiful Girl 3: [I think "Infinite Terror" is better. Every character is very vivid. 】
Others: [...] Sun Tao ignored what others said.
Sun Tao said helplessly: "Okay, please stop bragging. I'm embarrassed to say anything. In the orthodox literary circle, Jin Yong and Gu Long have been belittled as useless, and I, a cut cake seller, can get away with him."
(Northeastern dialect: Did you run away from the cake-cutting cart? It means the same as a monk who can run away but cannot run away from the temple. The origin of this saying cannot be verified. It is probably because the cake-cutting cart is heavier and cannot run fast.)
……
After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Hairong was the first to start the conversation.
"Mr. Sun, I heard Director Fei Zhen said that your return this time is not just for the closing banquet!" She blinked and looked at Sun Tao with a smile. Some women only have flavor when they are young, and become disabled when they grow up; there are also some women who can retain their girlishness while adding a bit of charm...
Naturally, everyone has their own preference for things like vegetables and radish. Some people like Liu Yifei, while others think Feng is cute and more beautiful.
I had done it before, and there were no side effects. Sun Tao thought Zhang Hairong was a very nice person, so he was willing to say more, "Well, indeed, when I came here, I went to President Xiao Wang's villa and talked with his development manager about setting up a project in the film and television base. Things about the song and dance troupe..."
The bustling wine table that had just been enjoying each other suddenly became quiet. Sun Tao looked at Luo Yu who was staring at him closely and shook his head helplessly, "Everyone is thinking about this matter blindly. Let's just think about it. How can we tolerate others beside the bed?" Sleep soundly, what Huayi Brothers wants is continuous and stable income, not just to set up a stage for others to sing, so it is impossible for Rolling Stone or Benshan Media. They are so big that they may eventually become a film and television base. As a foil to the song and dance troupe.”
...Everyone had different expressions. The little girls didn't even listen to what Sun Tao said. They were completely attracted by his calm posture and looked at him fixedly. Several men nodded slightly...
"It would be too much investment to do it all by ourselves, so their real idea is that the management of the entire film and television base is theirs, and the lower-level managers and employees are local people."
This time Luo Yu answered, "Well, this is the same pattern when foreign capital invests and builds factories here. Oh, old Sun, please continue..."
Sun Tao smiled and said, "As for this song and dance troupe, it must be the same, but they don't dare to live alone. If they want to run it for a long time, they must give some benefits, but how, how much, and whoever they give it to is the one inside. The core issue. ”
All the men and women at the table stared blankly at Sun Tao, and Luo Yu couldn't help but interject, "Old Sun, surely they won't make it so clear, right?"
"Oh, it doesn't need to be so clear. I understand what they mean when they ask me to check."
"Why do you understand everything so well?" Zhang Hairong looked at Sun Tao with a smile.
Sun Tao waved his hand, "I understand a little, I understand a little. Hey, Boss Luo, in fact, I have already finished talking with County Magistrate Wang at noon..."
……
Sun Tao did not disclose the specific details, but just chatted with Luo Yutou for a few words. Sun Tao made it clear that he did not want to disclose it to others and did not dare to talk about it, so he could only vaguely hear the general outline.
"...*Bing? MD, you are taking advantage of this guy."
"The song and dance troupe is definitely not good because it has a strong official background. If anything happens in the future, if the show changes and someone is cut, the people above will be blamed... In fact, you don't have to wade through this muddy water at all... There are too many projects over there. Naturally... when the time comes, Liao Tao will be too busy here, and he doesn't have any background. After all, he has to cooperate with everyone. It will be troublesome for everyone to change to a formed team, and no one will get a small share..."
……
At around nine o'clock, Sun Tao had finished his meal and was about to leave. Luo Yu smiled slightly and Zhang Hairong came over to persuade him to stay, "Mr. Sun, it's dark outside in the ice and snow and you can't see the road clearly. Why do you have to go back? We are in this hotel. I can't find a decent room yet. Room...and I, the three little girls, want you to give me some advice?" She said the last sentence into Sun Tao's ear, pretending to be drunk, with ambiguous eyes and a charming voice, so she gave Sun Tao some advice. Understand what it means.
The three beauties were also eager to give it a try, and came over to beg.
Sun Tao was not drunk. He glanced at the legs of the three people and looked away, "There is no reason to sleep outside after finally returning home. My parents must not scold me to death."
Zhang Hairong wanted to say more, but Luo Yu laughed and said, "Okay, okay, Xiaorong! Stop whining, Old Sun, let's go, I will drive you there myself."
……
Luo Yu felt that driving the car himself would give Sun Tao face, but Sun Tao was really scared. Luo Yu drank at least one bottle of Maotai...
Luo Yu's eyes lit up as soon as he got into the Mercedes-Benz, and the drowsiness he felt just now disappeared.
"Actually, I'm not that greedy person. I can't stand a line in terms of food, clothing, housing, transportation, travel, shopping, and entertainment. You're right. In the future, I'm looking at the prosperous film and television base. I'm not sure what it will be like in the future... Hey, I heard Is it true that you have joined the directing team for the closing ceremony in Athens?”
Sun Tao, "This..."
"Stop talking about this and that. It's like keeping it a secret. It's been reported in Xiangjiang, and some people say that you were very partial to choosing your 'Olympic babies' when you chose your own female classmates. There are also rumors that one of the girls Hey hey with you... You weren't very brave in Yanjing, but you became smaller when you returned to your hometown. Is it because you don't think they are pretty or you don't have confidence in a one-on-one relationship?"
……
Luo Yu knew that everything Sun Tao said was an excuse, and he was just trying to clear the way for Li Bing. The two of them must have made some kind of deal in private, but the information he got from Xiangjiang made him understand that no matter what, Sun Tao was already someone he couldn't afford to offend. .
