After all, the opening ceremony was very exquisite.

“It’s been hard.” Gaoleng said sincerely. It had only been more than a month since the film was planned and filmed. It was indeed hurried, and there were so many connections to be sorted out and worried about.

“It should be.” Director Zhang seemed to be used to this kind of tiredness. He was originally tired for a while, but when he was free for a while, Director Zhang reached out to hook his shoulder and said, “Brother, it’s finally the start ceremony. You’ve invited Sister Cai to be the artistic director. You’ve really helped me a lot!”

Now Director Zhang and Gaoleng are no longer strangers when they first met. Gaoleng is not Director Zhang’s junior, nor is he an investor, but just a buddy.

Brotherly friendship, especially in the movie industry, if there is still Jianghu Qi in any industry, then it should be the movie industry. In this circle, other than artists, other backers, art teams, management teams, including the food delivery brother, all had a strong sense of righteousness.

Director Zhang had this kind of Jianghu Qi on him. Gaoleng could feel it. However, he had not experienced the Jianghu Qi in the movie industry yet. He only slightly felt the excitement of the upcoming startup ceremony.

“Why don’t we have a regular army in the media area?” Gaoleng asked. When he entered, he glanced at the media area. They were all crooked melons and cracked dates. They didn’t even come from the major TV stations in the Imperial Capital. This made Gaoleng very strange. Normally speaking, even if these TV stations didn’t invite them, they would still rush over. After all, the director had named the show, and it was broadcast by radio and television.

This was a mission for the Propaganda Department, so how could there not be a reason for it?

“I asked someone to do the math. They said that there shouldn’t be too many regular troops in this ceremony, even three times. This is taboo, so I didn’t let them come.” Director Zhang stopped and said. Gaoleng asked. He had a sense of reporting.

The opening ceremony was also a propaganda point. After all, the opening ceremony of many movies was not a real ceremony, but just a gimmick.

“Taboo?” Gao Leng nodded. Although he was not familiar with this profession, he had heard of it before. The ceremony had to choose auspicious times. Auspicious places had a lot of other things to pay attention to. It depended on the director’s letter’s depth. Director Zhang, who had worked in this industry for most of his life, believed in this even more than the directors of the younger generation.

“Yes, I have to believe it. The TV station will report it, but it won’t come to the scene.” Director Zhang said as he walked, “Although this is no longer the era of film, there is no such thing as scribbling or scribbling. However, Master Guan has to give a confession and the startup ceremony has to be pious. Do you still remember that ghost film Old Liu made?”

“The one who shot the murderer and the child?”

“That’s right. When he was filming that scene, he let it go during the opening ceremony. It was three o’clock at that time, but a big shot said that he couldn’t wait until three o’clock. He had to rush to the airport or something. He asked if it would be fine if he was twenty minutes ahead of schedule. Old Liu thought about it and agreed after a short while.” Director Zhang stopped and leaned over to Gaoleng. “Guess what, there were only 70 people on the film crew. Ten of them died! Cancer, depression, car accident, etc.”

Hearing this made Gaoleng’s hair stand on end.

“Is it really that smart?” Gaoleng sucked in a breath of cold air. No wonder Director Zhang insisted on bringing the startup ceremony to the shooting base in the desolate countryside. It seemed like it had all been calculated.

“Of course.” Director Zhang pointed to the front. The big shots were resting behind a door in front of him. His words could not be said with certainty, “How many years have I been in this business?” For most of my life, I am clear about the dao inside! Now some young directors don’t believe in the startup ceremony and treat it as a gimmick. Hmph, we’ll know when they’ve suffered a loss. “Above these three feet, there are gods!”

Gaoleng walked behind Director Zhang and watched him teach like an elder. He couldn’t help but nod his head.

Ceremony is a tradition that Empire had a few years ago. You can’t believe it, but you absolutely can’t blaspheme it.

As soon as the door was pushed open, the cheerful laughter from inside made people happy. Everyone was happy with the start-up ceremony. Gaoleng swept his eyes. Good fellow, all of them were big shots. Normally, it would be good to get one for a movie. Now, all of them were alive.

“Xiaogao, you’re here. Come, have a drink.” Gaoleng still hadn’t recovered from her shock. Sister Cai had rushed over from some unknown direction. She held two glasses of wine with a flushed face and stuffed one into his hand. As the art director, Sister Cai’s most important job was to mediate relationships. In Empire, drinking alcohol was the best way to mediate relationships.

“Good, good, good.” Gaoleng hurriedly took the wine.

“President Gao, this is YOHO.” A Taiwanese actress walked over and smiled. She touched a glass with Gaoleng and took a sip. “I don’t know how to drink…” she said.

“You really don’t understand.” “You don’t know how to drink?” Sister Cai, who was standing beside him, was unhappy.

“Well, I don’t know much about it…” YOHO said coquettishly.

“If you don’t know how to drink, then I’ll persuade you to. It shouldn’t be that I don’t even give you face when I persuade you to drink, right?” Sister Cai is indeed Old Jiang. Who would dare not drink these words? As a result, the YOHO beauty held in her palm in Taiwan glanced at Broker, closed her eyes, raised her head, and drank.

“That’s right. President Gao is an investor. You came to propose a toast to the investor, but you actually didn’t drink it? Aren’t you giving him face? Another drink!” Sister Cai said angrily. Hearing that, Gaoleng had something to say. Could it be that YOHO made Sister Cai unhappy? Was Sister Cai going to operate on her?

The commotion here was a little big, and a few big shots looked over. A few more wrists twisted their waists and ran like crazy, and they also came over. These are Yuzhi, Lin Zhi, and KIKI.

“Another… another drink.” YOHO raised his empty glass awkwardly. Seeing that the situation was not good, Broker hurriedly poured some for her and winked at her. Being in the mainland and not giving Sister Cai face was asking for trouble.

‘”Alright” Yoho gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to drink, Sister Cai frowned.

“Tsk tsk tsk, that’s all? Where’s your eye drops?” Sister Cai said loudly, and more people looked over.

“Full, full.” Broker quickly poured the wine and her expression changed. Sister Cai was clearly using YOHO to show off her might.

YOHO blushed as he looked at the crowd. He raised his neck and poured wine into his mouth. It was quite a lot of wine. It made Gaoleng feel pity for her.

“There are still so many left. Where are you raising fish?” Sister Cai did not show any mercy. Although she still smiled, this smile was extremely powerful. She took a glance at the cup and found that there were still some left in it.

YOHO clenched his teeth and drank all of it.

“That’s right. You should be a bit sincere in toasting investors. Child, do you remember that in the future?” Sister Cai had one child at a time. She was also an elder and an old man in the circle. YOHO had to listen to this lesson.

“Ah, President Gao, hello, I’m…”

“President Gao, I’m Yang Sheng’s Broker. I’ll do it as a toast first.”

“Brother Gao is here. According to our rules, I’ll have three cups first!”

As soon as Sister Cai finished speaking, a nest of Broker and artists came over and raised their cups towards Gaoleng. Gaoleng was an investor, so they should have toasted him. With Sister Cai’s help, they became even more concerned.

“Long time no see.” After the Broker toast ended, he raised his glass to Gaoleng.

“President Gao, we’ve met a lot. Come, let’s have a drink.” Lin Zhi, who was standing at the side, was unwilling to be outdone. He squeezed to Gaoleng’s side, while KIKI, who was standing behind him, was still dumbfounded. In terms of their positions, Yuzhi and Lin Zhi were seniors. Moreover, the two of them were so flaming. KIKI could see the smoke in them, so he raised his glass to Gaoleng.

In the future, it would be better for this woman to do less. I’ve already done three of them on the first line. Gaoleng reflected deeply. After a round of entertainment, he walked to Sister Cai’s side and raised his glass. “Thank you, Sister Cai, for mentioning me.”

“What did I say about you?” Sister Cai put down her glass with a smile that was not a smile, “You drink, I don’t drink, I’ll keep my stomach to deal with them.”

‘”You just gave me two YOHO glasses of wine just to give me face and make them pay more attention to me as a newcomer in the film industry. After all, I have invested a lot in filming now, and I don’t have any experience. These are all big shots.” Gaoleng sat beside Sister Cai and drank a mouthful of wine.

“Child, I just purposely wanted to show my might for you. However, it wasn’t purely for you, but for myself.” Sister Cai smiled wisely, “The position you gave me as artistic director is mainly for me to reconcile my connections, right?”

Gao Leng nodded.

“I’m alone. I’m tired. But if these kids know that you can’t provoke them, then I’ll be relieved. You can go out and settle some connections. If you can’t handle it, you can find me again.”

Sure enough, Jiang is old and spicy. Gaoleng invited Sister Cai out just to let Sister Cai get along with him. She didn’t expect Sister Cai to push part of her back on him. Gaoleng thought.

“Naturally, Big Head, you do it. Little Head, I’ll do it.” Gaoleng nodded in agreement. It was good that Sister Cai could come out of the mountain. She could not be so pretentious in front of such a big guy. She was like YOHO. If she wanted to toast, she would toast. She was also shy.

“I’m very optimistic about you. How about I take you as my godson?” Sister Cai said.

Old Diao’s chin was about to fall off, and the few people nearby immediately turned around and looked over in surprise. For a moment, they fell silent in this small area.

Gaoleng was stunned.

In film circles, it is a tradition to recognize a godson.

Nowadays, many Weibo posts would also talk about recognizing their godson, but most of them were superficial and even mentioned that they had an all-round relationship with their godson.

In RTHK, there were indeed ways to take care of their adopted sons, but those were not very famous artists, and not very well-known godfathers. They weren’t of the same level as Sister Cai.

Sister Cai had once recognized a godson. There was no media in the mainland that dared to report it, but she understood that there were many ways.
