Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 288: Drinking Party
Li Qiutang, this shameless guy, took advantage of the fact that Liu Xiaoli was away traveling and stayed in Liu Yifei's new house after returning to Yanjing.

Liu Yifei even scolded him: "You're taking advantage of me, aren't you? I let you live in my new house worth tens of millions for free!"

"How can it be free? I cook for you every day." Both of them had little work these days, so Li Qiutang cooked at least one meal for his girlfriend every day.

Sometimes Shu Chang also comes to eat.

"Why don't you leave?" Li Qiutang said to Shu Chang.

"What? Do you think I'm too bright? I won't leave!" Shu Chang also likes the food cooked by Li Qiutang.

"I mean, didn't Director Xiaolu's movie start shooting in March? Why aren't you leaving yet?"

"I'll be leaving in a few days." Shu Chang said to Liu Yifei, "Lend me your boyfriend and take him to the crew as a cook."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Take it away, take it away quickly. I am annoyed just looking at him now."

Li Qiutang said, "Are you annoying me? If you're annoying me, don't eat the food I cook."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "If you didn't know how to cook, I would have chased you away long ago."

The two of them were bickering, and Shu Chang felt her teeth ache when she saw it.

Since Li Qiutang lived here, it was not convenient for Shu Chang to stay overnight. After dinner, she sat for a while and then left.

Li and Liu huddled together watching TV.

"Don't you blame me for not telling you about buying a new house?" Liu Yifei said.

"It's just buying a house, it's no big deal." Li Qiutang really didn't care and said with a smile, "I'm living here for free and it's a bargain."

"You really plan to live here permanently," Liu Yifei kicked Li Qiutang under the blanket, "I bought this for my mom."

Li Qiutang said shamelessly: "At worst, I can pay the rent for you."

"Okay, I'll give it to you at the market price."

Li Qiutang was not happy: "You really want to ask me for rent!"

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Tsk, it's also an income."

Li Qiutang stopped teasing her and wanted to go back to sleep.

"You won't watch TV with me anymore?"

"What time is it? Are you still watching? If you want to watch, go back to the bedroom. I want to sleep."

Liu Yifei then went back to the bedroom with Li Qiutang to continue watching. Li Qiutang fell asleep as soon as he lay down, which made Liu Yifei nag him: "I don't know what made you tired. You fell asleep so quickly."

The two's shameless home life ended after three days, and they both had to go to work.

Of course it’s not because Liu Xiaoli will be back in two days.

After the new Sino-US film agreement was announced, there was a stir in the industry.

It is a challenge, but also an opportunity. Some companies that did not cooperate with Qiu before have now picked up the negotiation again and said they want to talk again.

Li Qiutang also had more social engagements.

Except for the stars at the top of the pyramid who have no shortage of resources, most of the stars below the top have to do one thing - go to drinking parties.

Going to a drinking party does not necessarily mean selling yourself, it is more about showing off your reputation.

Zhang Yimou is holding a party at a certain hotel tonight. Your boss wants to take you there. Can you refuse?

He Jiong is going to a KTV to sing tomorrow. His agent will take you to say hello. Do you want to go?
This dinner party may not necessarily help you negotiate any resources, but if you don’t go, you will get nothing.

This is not unique to the entertainment industry; this phenomenon exists in many industries.

Li Qiutang is facing this situation now.

He was hanging out with some friends in the circle tonight, and some interesting veterans in Yanjing were also present, such as Yu Qian and Ma Weidu.

Li Qiutang knew at a glance who was here for the drinking party.

Wu Jing, who was sitting next to Yu Qian, had already been forced to drink half a pound of liquor by a theater manager, and Wu Jing was still drinking.

Further on, Dong Chengpeng, the host of Fox Studio, was telling jokes to Zheng, the CEO next to him, making him laugh. Further on, an actress whom Li Qiutang didn't know, introduced by her agent, was drinking with a manager of an investment company.

"Director," someone called Li Qiutang, a person Li Qiutang did not know, "I am from Tangren Company."

"Oh, it's Tang Ren's."

"Director, I'd like to toast you." Regardless of whether Li Qiutang wanted to drink or not, the guy drank it in one gulp and then introduced, "This is the newcomer we signed last year. Nazha, call someone."

"Hello, Director. My name is Naza."

This girl is really pretty. Li Qiutang politely said, "How old are you?"

"I was born in 92 and I am a freshman at the Film Academy this year."

Are those born in the 90s going out to drink? In this circle, the new generation is really better than the old ones.

"She was the most beautiful art exam candidate last year." The agent tried hard to introduce Nazha.

"Oh, it's you. I thought you looked familiar." Li Qiutang also responded.

The agent continued, "We attach great importance to Nazha. As soon as she signed us, the company arranged a movie for her to play the leading role. It will be broadcast this summer."

"Very good." Li Qiutang said politely.

What a P, Nazha can't act at all, and she ruined her reputation by playing the female lead in her first movie.

"We Naza are your fans, right Naza?"

"Oh, yes." Nazha said quickly, "I even have a poster of In Time on the headboard of my bed in the dormitory."

Don’t think I don’t know that you posted Liu Yifei’s poster!

"Director, let's add each other on WeChat so that we can contact each other in the future."

"Row."

The three of them exchanged WeChat accounts. Tang Ren's agent knew that he had wasted too much of Li Qiutang's time, and there were a bunch of people running around waiting to toast Li Qiutang with wine.

"Director, let's toast to you again. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."

Both the agent and Nazha drank. Li Qiutang just took a sip casually. It was not because he was not giving them face, but it was unrealistic. If each of them drank a glass, he would die here tonight.

After drinking, they said a few more words, asking everyone to take care of them in the future, and then they left.

That's what running an inning is like.

After Tang Ren came Wu Jing, who also asked him for a drink and asked for his contact information.

Although Wu Jing is from Yanjing, his network of contacts is mainly in the Hong Kong circle, so he really needs to rebuild his connections when he returns.

Wu Jing said he had just finished filming a TV series about special forces and was preparing for his second directorial work: "Wolf Tooth is too immature. I hope you can give me some advice when the time comes."

“You’re welcome. Let’s communicate with each other.” He took another sip and added WeChat.

next.

Li Qiutang spent most of the drinking session like this. Li Qiutang didn't drink much. He was counting. In total, seven groups of people came to the bureau to drink with him.

Some came alone, while others, like Nazha, were brought by company staff.

Some of them looked familiar to him, while others he didn't.

"Qiutang, find some time to come to my horse ranch and have a look." Yu Qian began to introduce the horse ranch he had opened last year.

"Okay, I'll come when the weather warms up. Hey, do you accept groups there?"

"Yes, I am still running a farm stay. If you have business, I will take care of me and thank you."

"Look at what you said. It's a deal. I'll take my company's people to your place sometime to have some fun. No matter how much your horse costs, I'll get one and leave it at your place so we can have some fun."

Li Qiutang couldn't get along with Ma Wei, but she could talk to a naughty boy like Yu Qian. He was very interested in the pet park, and Yu Qian was willing to tell Li Qiutang about his stuff.

The two agreed to meet again in private and then parted.
