Chapter 337 Old Friend

Under the stage, Wu Yuchen sat in the front row and watched the charity auction that started on the stage.

First of all, the first item to be auctioned was the leather jacket worn by the actor Liu Dehua in the film. After several bids, it was bought by Huayi's second boss Wang Zhonglei for 88,800.

The host was Liu Yiwei from Yangma's "Daily Diet". He said at this time: "This is Mr. Wang Zhonglei, one of the producers of this film. Didn't you buy your own things back?"

Wang Zhonglei said with a smile: "I came with a mission today. My wife is a fan of Mr. Liu Dehua. She has been thinking about Mr. Liu Dehua since the first day he wore it. She will not let me go back unless I buy this leather jacket. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this. They didn't know whether it was true or not, but they all knew that Huayi wanted to use the number 8.8 to get good luck. Eighty-eight shots!

And to be honest, the things he has worn have little collection value. Unless they are really fans who are obsessed with stars, no one will buy other people's clothes. Therefore, Wang Zhonglei is trying to save his face, for fear that this thing will be sold at auction. too low.

Later, there was another auction about Liu Dehua himself, that is, he went on stage to sing a song. This song actually fetched a higher price than the previous leather jacket. Someone bid for 180,000 yuan and invited Andy Lau to sing "Days We Walked Together".

After Liu Dehua finished singing his thanks and left the stage, the heroine Li Xiaoran walked out from the backstage.

Host Liu Yiwei said: "Here, let's ask our Xiaoran to introduce to you the auction item you are holding~"

Li Xiaoran held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand and said to everyone in the audience:

"When our crew was filming in Tibet, I found this Buddhist bead from a master in a temple. It was also one of my props in the movie. In fact, I was quite reluctant to part with it. I think it is quite commemorative, but since It’s a donation to Hope Primary School, and I think it’s worth selling it.”

The female thief played by Li Xiaoran went to a Tibetan temple to worship on her knees in the film, and she changed some of her moods and thoughts as a result.

"Okay! Everyone has heard that this very commemorative string of Buddhist beads was requested from a master in Tibet. The starting price is 10,000. Please start bidding!"

"20000!"

"25,000!"

"40000!"

Compared to Andy Lau's previous leather jackets, the price of this string of beads has risen very quickly.

Buddha beads themselves have collectible value, and most of the people sitting below, whether they are from the political and business circles or celebrities in the industry, actually believe in fate and luck, and many of them can burn incense and worship Buddha. Now When I heard that it was the Tibetan master who asked for it, I became even more interested.

Therefore, the bidding for this string of beads quickly reached 140,000 yuan, far exceeding the first Liu Dehua leather jacket. However, after the bidding reached this price, it increased much more slowly. When someone called out 150,000, Wu Yuchen gently raised his hand and said with a smile: "300,000."

Hearing Wu Yuchen directly double the price, Liu Yiwei suddenly raised his voice by five points: "300,000! Director Wu quoted 300,000, which is a double. Are there any other guests who have given a higher price?"

Everyone else in the venue immediately became silent. On the one hand, it is debatable whether the beads are worth the quoted 300,000 yuan. Maybe they are the stuff from a roadside stall? On the other hand, it is also to give Wu Yuchen face. Director Wu has already quoted a price, who in the industry will compete with him?

After Liu Yiwei shouted three times, when no one shouted the price anymore, he directly invited Wu Yuchen to come on stage to get the beads on the spot.

After Li Xiaoran saw Wu Yuchen on stage, Yingying looked at him with a smile, and then personally handed the beads into his hand. Wu Yuchen played with it in his hand with a smile, and then accepted an interview with Liu Yiwei:

"Director Wu just doubled the quotation, showing his determination to win. It seems that Director Wu really likes this string of beads!"

Wu Yuchen smiled: "First of all, this money is donated to charity, so even if I spend more, as long as I can help those students, I think it is worth it. Secondly, I think this string of beads is destined to me. ”

Liu Yiwei immediately asked: "Oh? What did Director Wu say? Where does fate come from?"

Feng Xiaogang and others were also watching with smiles below. Xu Fan, who was beside him, leaned into his ear and said, "Director Wu is really willing~"

Feng Xiaogang smiled and said: "Hey, Director Wu earns US dollars in Hollywood, and these are just small amounts of money. Besides, a thousand dollars can make a beautiful woman smile!"

Feng Xiaogang knew nothing about Wu Yuchen and Li Xiaoran. After all, they had cooperated with Li Xiaoran more than once.

On the stage, Wu Yuchen also replied: "I was about to go to Tibet for a filming trip, and then a string of Tibetan Buddhist beads suddenly came to me. Do you think it is fate?"

"Yuanlai is here! Director Wu, can you tell us about your new movie? I think many people are interested in it!"

Wu Yuchen smiled softly and said, "You will know this by then~"

In fact, it is "Batman", but it has not yet been announced that it will be filmed in China.

When many people in the audience heard what Wu Yuchen said, they immediately became interested. Director Wu was going to Tibet to shoot scenes? new movie? Any chance?

Wu Yuchen didn't say anything more, and walked off the stage with Li Xiaoran with a smile. After the two sat down, Wu Yuchen stuffed the string of beads directly into Li Xiaoran's hand.

Li Xiaoran hugged his arm directly from the side and said coquettishly: "Why spend so much money?"

Wu Yuchen said with a smile: "Didn't you say you weren't willing to let it go? Then just keep it!"

Li Xiaoran heard this and kissed Wu Yuchen on the face. Wang Baoqiang, who was standing next to him, saw this and finally understood the close relationship between the two. He quickly turned his head and looked straight ahead.

After Li Xiaoran's Buddhist beads were auctioned, another singer's performance was auctioned. It was Liu Huan, who has been very popular in recent years. In the end, his song was called for 180,000 yuan, and he was invited to sing "Start Over Again".

After the two came on stage, they were greeted with cheers and applause from the audience. It was not any of the protagonists in the film, but Fu Biao, who only played a small supporting role at the beginning.

Fu Biao has the nickname of the golden supporting actor. This year, he was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, and his anti-cancer experience caused many reports. After he had a liver transplant, he was in convalescence and recovery. Today, he came to participate in this event specially, making everyone who saw him, a cancer fighter, very happy.

Fu Biao was helped onto the stage by his wife, and expressed his gratitude to everyone for their concern for him, and then held up a DV, which was the DV that recorded some sex scenes between him and the female thief Li Xiaoran at the beginning of the movie. Liu Dehua used this DV to blackmail Fu Biao in the film for a large sum of money, and the two were wanted for this.

Wu Yuchen spent another 100,000 yuan to buy the DV. Li Xiaoran glanced at him unhappily: "Why did you buy it?"

Although he knew it was fake, Wu Yuchen still said: "It's uncomfortable to put it in someone else's hands."

After Wu Yuchen came on stage, he looked at Fu Biao with emotion. He knew that although he looked good now, he would relapse in a few months and might not survive this year. He said: "Health is important, you still have to take good care of your illness!"

Fu Biao laughed and said: "Thank you Director Wu for your concern. I just can't sit still~"

Wu Yuchen patted him on the shoulder and didn't say anything more. In fact, if you think about it from another angle, if someone only has half a year left, then it's not wrong to do what you want and be happy.

The next person to come on stage was Ge You. He came on stage with a gold watch, which also appeared in the movie. This watch sold for 200,000 yuan.

Just when Ge You was about to leave the stage, he was stopped by the host Liu Yiwei: "Someone suggested just now that Mr. Liu Huan has very long hair. There are two people without hair in the audience, one is Mr. Zhang Guoli and the other is you. If the two of you sing a song together, he is willing to pay 100,000 yuan. Are you willing?"

Ge You hurriedly shook his hand: "Don't make me look bad, Guoli is good, he came from the art troupe, and his singing is impeccable!"

After Liu Yiwei persuaded Ge You for a few words, he saw that Ge You was still unwilling, so he didn't force it anymore, and asked with a smile: "I found a problem, you have no hair when playing the leading role, and you have hair when playing the supporting role. Which do you think is more comfortable?"

This time, Ge You has hair as Uncle Li in "A World Without Thieves".

Ge You unconsciously touched his bald head: "Of course it is more comfortable to be bald. I'm afraid that everyone will get tired of seeing me bald all the time."

After Ge You left the stage, Yang Kun sang the theme song of "A World Without Thieves" "That Day" and auctioned it for 100,000 yuan.

Afterwards, Li Bingbing auctioned off her dance for 80,000 yuan. Yu Quan and Sun Nan also appeared on stage.

Wu Yuchen was watching the excitement from below, but suddenly heard a familiar name: "The following is an auction of a song by Teacher Tu Honggang. Any interested guest can bid!"

Tu Honggang was a little nervous at this time. Originally, everyone was participating in a charity auction, which was equivalent to a charity concert, but now, the people who went up to sing have unconsciously created an atmosphere of comparison.

Look at Liu Dehua and Liu Huan. They were bid less than 200,000 yuan for each song, and there were also 100,000 or 80,000 yuan later. If it was his turn to bid too low, wouldn't he lose face?

"60,000!"

"65,000!"

"70,000!"

After hearing someone bid 70,000, which was still a little short of the lowest 80,000 just now, Tu Honggang felt even more nervous. If possible, he would like to bid for himself and directly bid 100,000 yuan!

It's not a question of how much money is, he won't get a penny anyway, it's a question of face. What Tu Honggang values ​​most is face!

At this time, someone shouted: "200,000!"

Hearing the 200,000, Tu Honggang couldn't help but cheer up, 200,000 is higher than Liu Dehua and Liu Huan!

Then he looked at Wu Yuchen who raised his hand, and his face suddenly showed joy!

"Okay! Director Wu spent 200,000 to shoot Teacher Tu Honggang's song, what do you want him to sing?"

Listening to Liu Yiwei's question, Wu Yuchen couldn't help but smile and said: "I'll order a song "Chinese Martial Spirit"!"

Tu Honggang looked at Wu Yuchen and smiled, remembering the matter of him and Wu Yuchen buying songs and shooting MVs seven or eight years ago. At that time, he bought it from Wu Yuchen for 20,000 yuan. Now Wu Yuchen invited him to sing on the stage for 200,000 yuan, which also made him quite emotional.

After that, Tu Honggang went on stage and sang passionately, which made the audience cheer.

The auction started at 6 o'clock and ended at 7:30. Then another 400 audience members entered the venue, and "A World Without Thieves" was screened on time at 8 o'clock.

At the beginning of the movie, when Mr. Liu, played by Fu Biao, was learning English with Wang Li, played by Li Xiaoran, and wanted to take the opportunity to force Wang Li to be intimate, the lust and clumsiness of the middle-aged man made the audience burst into laughter, and also made the audience enter the movie from the beginning.

It was at this time that Wu Yuchen realized that the source of learning English was not from Mr. Hou, but had already started from this time.

As the film progressed, the audience burst into laughter every few minutes, especially when the disguise of Uncle Li, the thief boss played by Ge You, was discovered by Liu Dehua, which brought the second climax of the whole movie. Uncle Li's "revolutionary" dialogue almost always drew laughter, and became a "must-laugh technique" on the scene.

However, from the second half, the film began to take turns, and the conflicts between the characters increased. In addition to the stupid thieves played by Feng Yuanzheng and Fan Wei, who played a certain role in gags and jokes, a heavy atmosphere began to brew, until the tragic ending of the last scene, all the laughter on the scene was put away.

After the movie ended, it really welcomed the applause of the whole audience. Feng Xiaogang looked at the reaction of the audience at the premiere and was also very happy.

"Director Feng, this "A World Without Thieves" is very good, breaking 100 million is not a problem!"

Feng Xiaogang was very happy to hear Wu Yuchen's words. Others may be flattering, but many people will subconsciously believe Wu Yuchen's vision.

"I have to thank you, Director Wu. Without your script suggestions, this movie might not have been made!"

"No, it's just a suggestion. Director Feng, it's all your credit!" Wu Yuchen said with a smile.

To be honest, Feng Xiaogang's early and middle works are all pretty good. "A World Without Thieves" is a work that combines comedy, story, and action well. It is Feng Xiaogang's breakthrough work. After all, his previous movies typically relied on lines and rhetoric, but this one combines action and commercial entertainment, and it can be called a commercial masterpiece.

If nothing else, "A World Without Thieves" is released 20 years later, it will definitely have a box office of 3 billion, which is better than "Hot and Spicy".

Originally, the Wang brothers wanted to treat Wu Yuchen to a midnight snack, but Wu Yuchen declined.

After a while, Wu Yuchen walked behind a figure and patted his shoulder: "Brother Tu, do you have anything to do tonight?"

Tu Honggang turned around and saw Wu Yuchen. Hearing this, he was also excited. He didn't expect Wu Yuchen to be so successful now. Many people in the Beijing circle privately called him Master Chen and called him Brother Tu.

"Hahaha, I have to have something to do tonight!"

Wu Yuchen smiled and said: "Okay, let's go eat something hot? I wonder if Brother Tu has any place to recommend?"

Tu Honggang laughed heartily and said: "There must be! Let's walk!"
