Chapter 381 Delayed arrival
Sure enough, after Li Lu saw Mo Zhiran, she immediately walked towards her.
Everyone held their breath. Although they did not dare to look directly, they secretly pricked up their ears, focusing entirely on the two people. In their opinion, the current situation between Li Lu and Mo Zhiran was tense, and a war was about to break out. Some people who were far away had even taken out their mobile phones and quietly placed them beside them, ready to take pictures.
But who knew that the imagined confrontation did not happen.
Li Lu walked to Mo Zhiran's side, and before Mo Zhiran raised her head, she hugged Mo Zhiran's neck, acting very intimately like a good friend she hadn't seen for a long time.
This sudden movement also startled Mo Zhiran. She thought it was someone, so she raised her head like a frightened bird. When she saw it was Li Lu, a helpless expression appeared on her face.
"What are you doing?" Mo Zhiran asked.
Seeing Mo Zhiran's expression, Li Lu deliberately pretended to be aggrieved and said, "I came here specifically to see you. I didn't expect you to react like this. It hurts my heart so much."
Mo Zhiran rolled her eyes, "Come on? You knew Qi Binlan was coming to attend the wedding banquet, so you rushed back right away."
After getting along with Li Lu before, and because Li Lu usually kept her mouth shut about her own affairs, Mo Zhiran easily knew the fact that Li Lu liked Qi Binlan, and at the same time, she also understood that Li Lu had always liked Qi Binlan. Reasons against her. I didn't expect that I would suffer so many unreasonable disasters because of these unreasonable things.
And Li Lu opened her heart to her because she no longer had any grudges in her heart.
Li Lu listened to Mo Zhiran's words and smiled, "If you say that, then you understand me. Where is Qi Binlan?" She quickly looked around.
"I don't know. He was here just now, but he was already here at that time."
"I'm going to find him." Li Lu was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something, "Your Mr. Lu hasn't come yet? I heard that he is coming."
Mo Zhiran was surprised, "Mr. Lu? Which Mr. Lu? Why didn't I know?"
Rachel on the side was also sighing at Li Lu's intelligence. She was obviously not a fan of Mo Zhiran and Lu Shengjing, but she still knew about the news that Lu Shengjing was coming to the crew.
She hasn't told Mo Zhiran about this yet, because she is afraid that if Lu Shengjing fails to come and Mo Zhiran is disappointed, it will have the opposite effect.
"Don't pretend to be confused because you understand. Which Mr. Lu? Do you have another Mr. Lu? Of course it's Lu Shengjing." Li Lu said calmly, "Let me see, Mr. Lu is really good. He has been recently But while he was busy with the acquisition case with Jiaxian, the whole financial circle was shocked, but he didn't expect that he would still have time to attend the closing banquet. It seems that you really hold a lot of weight in his heart."
After hearing this, Mo Zhiran felt confused. She had never known that Lu Shengjing was coming to attend the closing banquet, let alone the acquisition case. In the past few days, she had been immersed in acting. She devoted all her time and energy to the crew and wanted to film Director Li's drama well, so she was blind to what was going on outside the window. She didn't expect that so much had happened in the outside world. things and changes.
Mo Zhiran shook her head, "I really don't know these things."
Li Lu sneered at her, "How could this be? If I were Mr. Lu, I would definitely be heartbroken. I'm so busy and come to see you, but you don't care about me at all. I'm heartbroken. I'm heartbroken." .”
"Forehead……"
Li Lu didn't know what happened between her and Lu Shengjing, but Mo Zhiran didn't bother to explain.
Li Lu had already jumped to find Qi Binlan. She was left sitting alone in front of the cake in a daze.
Is Lu Shengjing really coming? for her? She still couldn't believe it, because in her impression, Lu Shengjing had always been a very rational person. For a rational person, faced with a very urgent job, such an important acquisition, and a closing party for a person who is not very important and dispensable, it is obvious what to choose.
So she still didn't have any hope for Lu Shengjing's arrival.
The time has reached half past six, and the banquet will start in half an hour. Now is the time for free conversation. People attending the banquet are walking around in the middle of the place, some holding champagne in their hands, and a few greedy children are hiding aside and eating cakes. The desserts for this banquet were very exquisite and could be called five-star level.
In addition to the crew, Director Li also secretly invited some partners with whom he usually has a good relationship, as well as some producers and directors, and the closing banquet turned into a social reception. From time to time, people come over to talk to the actors on the set. However, since Mo Zhiran's reputation in the entertainment industry was not that big, there were very few people who came to see her first. Instead, it was some veteran actors who were in supporting roles, and people kept coming to talk to them. Either I want to invite them in the next drama, I just want to get to know them so that we can keep in touch in the future.
At this time, Director Li came over, raised a glass of champagne, and said to Mo Zhiran, "Xiao Mo, will you come with me for a walk?"
Mo Zhiran immediately understood that Director Li wanted to take her to meet another producer. The relationship between him and actors is really not like the relationship between a leader and his subordinates, but more like a teacher leading an apprentice. He shares all kinds of opportunities with her and introduces all kinds of characters to her. This was something Mo Zhiran had never thought of before.
It seems that Director Li's good reputation in the entertainment industry is not a wasted reputation, nor can it be established overnight, but it really relies on his excellent character and enough strength to withstand tough situations.
Director Li has a very wide network of contacts, and the first person he introduced was a producer. Next to him, there was also a popular director. Although Mo Zhiran didn't know much about directors in the entertainment industry, she still knew this one's name. This director and Director Li are equally famous, but they focus on different directions and fields. This producer is of foreign origin, focuses on overseas markets, and mostly works with international stars, so he is relatively well-known abroad. Director Li, on the other hand, focuses on the domestic market. The two are equally powerful, but they specialize in different areas.
It is no exaggeration to say that many of Mo Zhiran's favorite movies were shot by this director. At that time, Mo Zhiran went to the Internet to check the director's profile. At that time, she also read all the works directed by her. Although Mo Zhiran is not a star-chaser, to a certain extent, this director's works should be She likes it better.
At that time, this director was just a distant name on the credits at the end of the film. I didn't expect that he would actually be standing here alive now and talking to her. It was simply incredible.
When Director Li introduced Mo Zhiran, he was not a mindless boaster. Instead, he used a simple introduction method to inadvertently reflect the actor's advantages. Director Li spoke very sincerely, and the other person listened very well. serious. After listening, the producer smiled and nodded at Mo Zhiran, and extended his hand to her.
"Miss Mo, I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate."
I don't know if her words were just a courtesy for Director Li's sake, or something else. Out of politeness, Mo Zhiran still stretched out her hand, "Thank you."
The excitement rushed over to her again, and she suddenly felt like her dream had come true. This is not a drill, this is not a drill! She was actually shaking hands with a director she liked very much before, and the director was inviting her to collaborate. Regardless of whether the invitation was true or not, she was already very satisfied.
But Mo Zhiran still had to try her best to pretend to be calm. Because Director Li was standing beside her, she couldn't act too inexperienced and lost Director Li's face, so she tried her best to control her inner excitement.
On the other side, Rachel's whole body fell into anxiety. Seeing the time approaching bit by bit, the closing banquet at seven o'clock was about to start, but Lu Shengjing and Mu Yunfeng still hadn't arrived at the scene. At the beginning, Rachel could still contact Mu Yunfeng, but now she doesn't even reply to WeChat messages and doesn't answer the phone.
What happened? Didn’t you just say you were still on the way? If we had followed the original departure time, we should have arrived by now.
On the one hand, Rachel was worried about Lu Shengjing's safety. Could something have happened on the road? On the other hand, I was worried about Mo Zhiran. If Lu Shengjing really didn't show up at the scene this time, then Mo Zhiran...
She had just heard the news from Li Lu that Lu Shengjing was coming, and she would definitely not be able to hide it from Mo Zhiran later. This feeling of giving people hope but disappointing them was even worse than if Lu Shengjing didn't come directly. sad.
Fortunately, it's okay if there is no hope, and there won't be any mood swings.
Rachel tried to call Mu Yunfeng again, but the electronic female voice was still there.
"The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please call again later."
It's not that it's not in the service area, it's not that it's on a call, it's that it can't be connected. What happened?
Seven o'clock. The closing banquet started on time.
As the host in a white dress finished his opening remarks, accompanied by relaxed and cheerful music, the curtain officially kicked off.
Director Li walked onto the stage surrounded by everyone and gave an opening speech to everyone. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the guests present today. At the same time, I would also like to express my gratitude to the crew for their hard work over a period of time. Moreover, Mo Zhiran and Qi Binlan were also highlighted here, praising the two leading actors for their extraordinary talents, which really brought him unexpected results. Of course, there were many media reporters at the scene, so Director Li asked them to promote the new drama.
"But what I mean is to promote the new drama. Today's closing banquet will be treated as a private banquet. I hope everyone will not pay too much attention." Director Li also made a small joke after thanking everyone, which attracted everyone in the audience. All smiled.
After the speeches, some actors came on stage to perform. The people in the audience ate and chatted, and continued to enter the social stage of free conversation.
