Chapter 732 Hegemony Meets Hegemony

The entrance to the red carpet area is connected to the passage towards Yintai Center, so they have to enter from Yintai and walk through the corridor to reach the red carpet area of ​​China World Trade Center.

The charity Basha event was held in the banquet hall on the third floor of China World Hotel.

This event has a completely closed passage from the red carpet to the backstage, which means that only celebrities with invitation letters can enter, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

This is to protect privacy. Those celebrities in there are not good people to begin with. They touch and hug each other, which is really eye-catching.

There are many pimps and hostesses.

The inner banquet hall has 360-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, but they are all covered.

It is very lively here. All the famous stars in the entertainment industry are here, including the six beauties Zhang Ziyi, Fan Xiaopang, Li Bailian, Yao Chen, Carina Lau, Yan Zi, and Zhou Gongzi.

I won’t name the others one by one, they are simply so glittering and star-studded that it’s hard to open your eyes.

"headmaster!"

"Hello, Principal!"

"."

No matter how powerful they were, when they saw the principal, they would stand up and bow to Fang Hong to show their respect.

This is the weightlifting champion of the entertainment industry. The burden of the entire entertainment industry is carried on his shoulders. Although it is exaggerated, it is not without reason.

When those celebrity entrepreneurs saw the principal walking among the beautiful girls, their eyes lit up.

"A real man should be like this!" Jia Yueting sighed to others.

Fang Hong walked through the crowd of celebrities and came to the main table in front, where the entrepreneurs were, and shook hands with Cao Dewang, Lei Jun, Sister Dong and others.

Mr. Wang is also here, just standing aside.

"Principal, you are here to do charity too!" said Cao Dewang.

"Yeah, yeah, I felt guilty after making some money." Fang Hong joked to himself.

Although he and Cao Dewang disagreed and had different ideas, he never doubted Cao Dewang's philanthropy.

This person may have some problems, but he still does something for charity.

At that time, they were just arguing on the stage. As long as you are on the stage, there will be a winner and a loser. There is no way to change it. There is no grudge between the two of them in private.

Besides, public opinion at the time said that Lao Cao was a bloodsucking person, so he adjusted the salary and benefits of his employees when he returned, which was considered an improvement.

"Good!" Cao Dewang patted his hands and smiled like Maitreya, just not good-looking.

The fact that the principal said this shows that he has reflected on this.

Liu Tianxian, on the other hand, looked like a noble lady who was familiar to everyone, but she was not familiar with them.

"Hello Yifei, you are here too!" Mr. Wang greeted Liu Tianxian.

"Yes, Mr. Wang, what are you doing here? You are not supposed to sit here!" Liu Tianxian wondered.

"Just some small business talk." Mr. Wang smiled awkwardly.

"Oh" Liu Tianxian did not doubt him!
Fang Hong chatted briefly with his acquaintance and prepared to take Liu Tianxian away.

"Principal, take your dog away!" Sister Dong suddenly said.

"What did you say? You shrew." Mr. Wang suddenly became furious.

The people around were all watching a show. Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian looked at each other, also confused.

"What's going on?" Fang Hong asked.

"You ask him, it's a disgusting deal, shameless." The knowledgeable lady pointed at Mr. Wang.

Fang Hong looked at Mr. Wang with a questioning look in his eyes.

Mr. Wang hesitated for a moment, glanced at Liu Tianxian, then stepped forward, patted Fang Hong on the shoulder, pulled him aside and said, "Principal, I just do a little business."

He took out his phone and placed it in front of Fang Hong, saying, "It's just a price list. You definitely don't need it."

Fang Hong didn't say anything. He squinted his eyes and took it to look at it carefully.

For 300 million, an S-class top star can drink with the main table, get the C position for a photo, and get an extra 50 for touching hands. Damn, it’s so expensive.

A-level stars get 150 million, including chatting at the VIP table and forwarding promotions on Weibo; B-level stars get 50 to choose from in the lounge, where they can touch thighs.

There are also some specific projects, but they all require extra money. The specific amount depends on the fame and quality of the actress. For example, if a female star has yellow teeth, the discount will be 20 yuan.

The average night stay for a female celebrity costs around 80!
There are three levels of prices here: main table at 300 million, VIP table at 150 million, and ordinary table at 80, which are equivalent to entry tickets.

Fang Hong didn't pay for any entry ticket, he just came when he was invited. Su Mang and the others didn't mention this to him, after all, he already had such a high status and was married.

If he hadn't been rumored to have had affairs with someone, slept with someone, etc., most people wouldn't tell him about it.

If you have the awareness to be corrupt, people will let you be corrupt. If you don't have that awareness, you will only bring trouble upon yourself. Who knows what your attitude is.

"You guys are having a lot of fun!" Fang Hong handed him the phone.

"To make a little money, honestly, it's not just me who does this, everyone does this," Mr. Wang explained.

"Just don't force anyone, and follow the principle of voluntariness." Fang Hong couldn't control this matter. Could he really eliminate human nature?

In this kind of situation, both parties are willing to do it and be punished. You can make hundreds of thousands of dollars just by eating, drinking and touching others.

Damn, there is no such a profitable business!

When Fang Hong was poor, if he were a woman, he would have wanted to do the same thing. It was nothing more than giving a man pleasure, which would make her happy and make money at the same time.

"Okay!" Mr. Wang nodded.

Fang Hong didn't care about this matter. In fact, the entertainment industry was still relatively clean. After all, there was a lot of exposure and countless eyes were watching. Other circles would only be more excessive.

As for understanding the aunt's sense of justice, I could only express my admiration and ignore her. At this moment, the crowd became agitated, and several security guards came in and carried an artist out.

The artist even threw a tantrum and yelled, "Don't touch me, don't touch me!"

Everyone present was watching, no one tried to stop it, and no one tried to persuade them, as if they were used to it and were not surprised.

"What's going on?" Fang Hong asked.

"This artist sat at the table without handing in his admission ticket," Mr. Wang said.

Fang Hong nodded to show that he understood, without any expression on his face. Basha has changed now, becoming a pure place of fame and fortune.

He and Liu Tianxian returned to their table, where some people were sitting, including some bosses and celebrities, and Jing Tian was also there.

Jing Tian had short hair. She glanced at Fang Hong, then blushed and lowered her head. No one knew what she was thinking.

"What did Mr. Wang say to you just now?" Liu Tianxian asked.

Fang Hong leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words!
"Uh, it's normal." Liu Tianxian was surprised at first, then returned to his normal expression.

She knew about this kind of thing. After all, being in this circle, it was inevitable that no one would want to pay attention to her.

It’s just that it’s been less common in recent years now that Fang Hong is here.

"Hello, Principal." A woman with long black hair stood up and extended her hand.

"Hello! Who are you?" Fang Hong wondered who this person was. He had never seen him before.

"My name is Jing Lu, and I'm the president of Basha Energy." Jing Lu introduced herself. Basha Energy is a subsidiary of Fashion Group, and its business is event planning.

"Oh." Fang Hong nodded suddenly, his eyes wandering, looking to see what was the difference between this man and Jing Tian.

Both of them have triangular faces that are wide on the top and narrow on the bottom, but this person's face is a little big and he has single eyelids, so he is not as pretty as Jingtian, who is more lively and cute.

As for the background of this person named Jing Lu, let me put it this way, not only are brand celebrity events in the entertainment industry planned and created by this person, but also all events held by big brands and companies such as Weibo, BMW, Tencent, Alibaba, and Mercedes-Benz are also the work of this person.

Even international events like the Boao Cultural Center were created by this person, and his resources are enviable.

Jing Lu is also from Xi'an. As for whether this person is related to Jing Tian, ​​I don’t know.

Anyway, when Fang Hong participated in the charity event a few years ago, Liu Jiang, chairman of the Fashion Group, donated 5 million to make Jing Tian smile. This left a deep impression on him.

"It seems like the principal hasn't been here for several years!" Jing Lu said.

"Yes, I've been busy in recent years, so I haven't had much time. I only got time this year to come and have a look." Fang Hong said.

They were chatting here. The scene was noisy and lively. Liu Tianxian turned around and saw Su busy shuttling between tables to entertain people. He told everyone to donate more, and if they donated less, they would be punished to kneel!

Mr. Wang did not restrain himself. He shuttled between the entrepreneurs and the female stars with a smile on his face, looking very proud.

Even though he has been defeated and is on the decline, he is still a big shot in the entertainment industry, just not on the same level as Principal Yutu.

"Principal, Yifei, please eat and drink well tonight!" Su hurriedly came between Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian.

Fang Hong nodded. He was chatting with someone when he saw the old woman suddenly appear.

Su looked at the others, leaned over and asked, "Do you have any personal belongings that need to be donated today? It's also a token of my appreciation to do my part for charity."

This sounds very nice.

"How can I have the nerve to put something I've used out there for others to take pictures of? Forget it." Fang Hong couldn't do such a thing.

With his current power, if he took out anything at random, those actors would probably go crazy to grab it, not to buy the things, but to buy the principal's face.

The principal's face is worth a thousand gold.

"It's just a formality. Besides, the money is going to the disaster areas." Su Mang wanted to raise more donations.

If the principal can donate his personal belongings and put a label of his own on them, then those stars will definitely buy them at high prices. The principal's power is not to be underestimated.

Fang Hong smiled, and his smile was meaningful.

"I have a bracelet here, why don't we auction it off for them." Liu Tianxian leaned closer and whispered, thinking that since others were donating, it would be bad for them not to donate.

Besides, it wouldn't sound good if it were made public, not to mention that Liu Tianxian just occupied the spot and didn't do any charity.

Fang Hong shook his head to refuse.

"This will be beneficial. We will also issue a positive press release, saying how much money has been donated and how much love is shown. It will have a negative impact on Yifei. We can also let Yifei be on the cover and give her the entire Basha page." Su hurriedly glanced at Liu Tianxian and saw that she was interested.

"Are we here to do charity or to discuss business with you?" Fang Hong asked.

"This won't interfere with charity!" Su said hurriedly.

"We have nothing to give you, please find someone else." Fang Hong waved his hand, not wanting to say more.

Donating a celebrity’s personal belongings is equivalent to putting a label on them, which makes it easy to put a price tag on the celebrity, meaning that your commercial value is only worth so much money.

With such little money, you still want to have a good seat and stand at the center of the stage. The top stars are not even as good as the second or third tier stars. It’s just such an illusion, a trap, and Liu Tianxian fell into it. It was right here.

After many celebrities donated items, they found someone to deliberately raise the price and increase the starting bid. That's how it works.

Some celebrities don’t donate their own things at all, but rather brand owners’ things, and auction them off in exchange for endorsements, tax deductions, and commissions.

You can get about 20% for each lot, and there’s also X amount of money involved, so it’s pretty complicated.

Normal auction items generally cannot be sold at very high prices. To paraphrase Xiao Wang: Rich people have money, but they are not stupid!

How is it possible to just ask someone to paint a picture or take a small personal item and then want to sell it for hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions?

In his previous life, Liu Tianxian was stupid and donated a bracelet, which is the bracelet he just mentioned to Fang Hong. This bracelet is worth 2.3 yuan and is considered a valuable item, but it was not auctioned and was only displayed in the silent exhibition area.

Later, it was bought by an anonymous buyer for 5 yuan, becoming the lowest-priced item that night. No one knew who the anonymous buyer was.

No matter how you look at it, Liu Tianxian is a first-tier star, but her items cannot even be put up for auction. However, those Canary Male Stars and Grandma Jia’s items can be sold for hundreds of thousands. Do you believe it?
In the final analysis, there is an inside story, but Liu Tianxian is unwilling to cooperate with the inside story.

By the way, after this year in the previous life, Liu Tianxian was semi-banned by the Fashion Group, had no appearances on the cover for two years, and was sanctioned for all kinds of negative information.

Directly release Liu Tianxian's raw photos and say her retouched photos are fake!

"Red carpet photos: Even fairies can't escape nasolabial folds"

"Charity Night Donation List Released, a Certain Fairy is at the Bottom"

They are the ones who released this press release.

Moreover, the endorsement was snatched away by Yang Mi, all of which happened in this charity event this year.

Nothing else, you’re not filial enough!

"Well, we have ticket revenue here. If Liu Tianxian goes on stage, she will also be charged a fee. It will be 200 million for a first-tier star." Su Mang stopped pretending.

"Haha... everyone says that my principal has hegemony in the film and television industry, but I didn't expect that we would also encounter fashion hegemony." Fang Hong smiled to Liu Tianxian.

Liu Tianxian pursed her lips and smiled, she no longer had any sympathy. She used to think that this organization had some charitable elements, but now it was all business.

And she could understand what Su Mang said, which was the money to buy the press release.

If the money is not paid, it will be leaked to marketing accounts, which will lead to cyber-bullying by netizens. In any case, there are a few celebrities who are cyber-bullied every year, and some even quit the entertainment industry because of this.

Zhang Shaohan was scolded: "Scheming to grab the C position!"

Lin Xinru was scolded: "A habitual donor fraudster!" Also, the couple sat at different tables, which was arranged by Su Mang.

Jiang Xin was scolded: "Low EQ stupid woman!"

Jane Zhang was scolded: "Divorced women are unlucky"

Even the dead are not spared, and people are cursed: “Cancer is retribution!”.

When someone dies, they say: "Finally, he has redeemed himself!"

There is a reason why this charity is in decline, it's so disgusting!
"Principal, there's nothing we can do. This is the rule. Of course, people like you are not allowed to use it." Su Mang felt a little uncomfortable with the principal's contemptuous smile.

To be honest, she was also a little afraid of the principal. After all, the principal's reputation was well-known and everyone had heard of him.

But she was only afraid of the principal as a person, not his power.

The fashion circle has a natural advantage over celebrities in the film and television circles. Their advantage is to enhance their fashion status and increase their value.

You can be on the front page of Basha and get high-end luxury endorsements.

If you don’t listen to them, you can send a “non-cooperation letter” to the brand!
Once a star refused to donate 80 yuan. The next day, Dior received a secret letter from Basha saying that his "public welfare image is not good" and the endorsement fell through.

It's such a hegemony, even more hegemonic than Fang Hong. At least Fang Hong will not cut off the path of any star. Whether you can get a performance opportunity depends on your personal ability and the ability of your agency.

But their model is a protection fee. If you don't donate, you will have no fashion, no endorsements, and they will also issue notices to sanction you.

"What a shitty rule! If you have the guts, kick us out today!" Fang Hong said.
