Chapter 367 Auctioning Exoskeleton Mechs
On December 2009, 12, Beijing International Olympic Center will report the 25th Harper's Bazaar Charity Dinner here today.

As one of the highest-level charity dinners in the entertainment industry, it is basically an event that most stars flock to.

Tang An only came here once in the past few years. He spent 30 yuan to buy a limited-edition fountain pen that he didn't know the brand of.

It’s okay to do charity, but I still don’t know where the money is going, so why spend that wrong money.

There was no need to come here before, and it was of no use.

But now he is not alone. He is in charge of a large group with hundreds of employees, and seven or eight artists under him need exposure.

Simply this year, Tang An brought them all here, not a few of them.

And Tang An also donated something, a set of exoskeleton mechs made by Tiangong Yicai, it depends on whether anyone wants it.

Seven or eight cars drove into the stadium and stopped near the entrance of an indoor stadium.

A large group of reporters surrounded him before the car stopped.

However, the organizer arranged a large number of security guards at the gate, and immediately cleared a way.

Dressed up, Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Sun Li, Tang Yan, Yang Mi, Zhao Liying, Wang Kai and others got out of the car one by one, followed Tang An onto the red carpet, and walked inside.

As soon as the handsome men and women appeared on the stage, the scene was full of "clicking" sounds.

"Tang Dong, when will the filming of "Edge of Tomorrow" start?"

"The total box office of "Avatar" has exceeded 9 million in the 3 days since its release. How much does Director Tang think the total box office will be?"

"Is 'Edge of Tomorrow' Confident of Breaking 'Avatar''s Box Office Record?"

The reporters were taking pictures and asking questions, most of which were related to "Avatar".

"Avatar" is really too popular, with a box office of more than 3000 million on weekdays, completely unaffected by weekdays.

As the box office record holder for Chinese-language movies, Tang An's new movie will of course have to be compared.

""Avatar" represents the pinnacle of the world's film industry. It is unpredictable what it will achieve in the end, but I believe this film will shock audiences all over the world."

"The preparations for "Edge of Tomorrow" have been completed, and it is expected to launch in early January."

Just deal with it casually and then walk inside, lest they get involved in "Avatar" again.

There is also a red carpet in the infield. Go up and sign an unrecognizable name on the poster on the wall, and let the reporters take a few photos.

Su Yun, the president of Harper's Bazaar, greeted her with a slightly sad tone.

"Tang Dong, you are a very busy person. You couldn't invite me for the first two years."

Tang An shook hands with her and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I'll be here this year."

Although this woman has a bad reputation and can't take off all kinds of nouveau riche, exaggerated, and pretentious labels on her body, it is still admirable to make a career in the fashion industry.

I came to this city when I was 15, with no intention of going back alive.

Tang An was deeply impressed and admired by what she said.

Su Yun led Tang An to a table in the front row side by side, talking and laughing from time to time to ask about Tang An's new movie.

"Tang Dong, are you making a mecha movie this time? There seems to be no such movie in China."

"Actually, it's a little different from ordinary mechs. This is called an exoskeleton." Tang An said with a smile.

"That's considered a mech. Only Hollywood can make this kind of blockbuster, and only Tang Dong in China can try it."

"By the way, Director Tang, do you have time in two months? I want to make a special cover for you." Su Yun asked again.

"No problem, but before the Spring Festival, I will return to Beijing to attend the premiere of "Lost in Thailand"."

Tang An agreed straight away, buy one get seven free, Su Yun probably won't refuse.

"Okay, that's the deal." Su Yun said with a smile.

With the rise of the Internet, the sales of paper magazines are not as good as before.

Although Tang An is not very handsome, he is very famous. I will also mention his new film at that time, which will definitely attract a wave of movie lovers.

Compared to other fashion magazine editors, Su Yun is more like a star and a businessman.

After agreeing on the interview, Su Yun went to entertain other people.

A few of them also walked around the stage, greeted Tang An and sat in the back.

The bosses of the company sat at the front row of tables, including Ma Yun, Pan Shiyi, and Shi Yuzhu.

Tang An met Ma Yun and Pan Shiyi twice and said hello.

"Hehe, the relationship between Director Tang and President Su seems unusual." Pan Shiyi joked next to him.

"Chairman Pan was joking."

Tang An slandered endlessly in his heart, and you were ashamed to say that Su Yun sat in your arms one time later.

Ma Yun next to him said, "Tang Dong founded a group at a young age, it is really not easy, if you need funds, you can come to me."

"Mr. Ma, you are flattering me. The company is a start-up. If you need financing, please help me." Tang An said politely.

As time passed, almost all the people arrived.

Yu Dong, Wang Changtian, Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei
Famous tasks in the entertainment and fashion circles have come.

Several people sit at a big round table one by one.

At Tang An's table were Cheng Long, Li Binbin, Xu Luoxuan, Tang Yan, Yang Mi, Lu Yi, and Su Youpeng.

Half of them were from Huayi, and Tang An knew them all well. Although they were a little embarrassed because of Tang An's job-hopping, they could still chat for a while.

Deng Chao and Liu Ye are at the next table, with Wang Zhongjun, Wang Xiaoming, Liu Jialing and others.

A few random arrangements were made. Next to Deng Chao and Sun Li were Yang Ying, Wang Xiaoming, and Wang Zhongjun, which was embarrassing.

It was almost time, and the dinner officially started, Su Yun choked up and gave a speech.

First, various celebrities came on stage to sing, Cheng Long with a mustache and half-white hair sang "National", and Wang Xiaoming sang a song from the new album.

And the classic musical Cats.

Chatting, eating, drinking and drinking, the time passed quickly, and then it was time for the auction.

The first lot is a Cartier Dragon Kiss peerless brilliant jewelry necklace.

Fang Zuming was the first to raise the placard, followed by Liu Yufei, the two competed.

But in the end Wang Zhongjun bought it at a price of 68.

The boss made a move, and the two juniors had no choice but to give up.

Then there is the limited edition Shanghai Duette ostrich leather treasure handbag, which was won by Guo Xu, President of Aston Martin Beijing Representative Office, at a price of 40.

Giorgio Armani multi-color printed gorgeous evening dress, this evening dress Cheng Long took the lead in raising the placard.

A big man, buy a lady's dress.
Tang An glanced at Xu Luoxuan who was next to him from the corner of his eye, leaning very close to Cheng Long, with his arms resting on the table to support his chin.

It seems that Hua Yi supported him for a period of time in the next two years, seven movies in two years, but they all hit the street.

Cheng Long made a move, but it was not uncontested.

With so many people at the scene, you have to raise your cards a few times to show your intentions, or you will say that you don't support charity.

Liu Yufei, who had just been intercepted by Wang Zhongjun over there, waited for a while before raising her card.

Cheng Long raised his placard again, looked at Tang An and said with a smile, "Dong Tang, this dress is quite beautiful, don't you want to bid?"

As he spoke, he looked at Tang Yan and Yang Mi rather ambiguously.

Tang An smiled and said, "Uncle Long, how dare I win the love of the dress you fancy."

This dress was still taken by Liu Yufei, but then Xu Luoxuan next to Cheng Long bought a limited edition Montblanc lucky number 100 ink pen at a high price of 88 million.

100 million pens, tsk tsk
When Xu Luoxuan went to the stage to collect things, Cheng Long even hugged her.

Cheng Long is still the same Cheng Long who eats tofu habitually.

You can often see Cheng Long taking advantage of it, but there are actually very few of them.

Both are 55 years old, old.

The auction continued, and Shi Yuzhu bought a pair of "Sisters in the Garden" for 780 million yuan, setting the highest price tonight.

A kung fu shirt and a shirt by Cheng Long were sold at a high price of 480 million and 100 million respectively
The collection of "Commemoration of the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games" signed by Zhang Yimou sold 100 million yuan.

Fang Zuming bought a model of a red sandalwood house supporting hall at a price of 100 million. It is nearly one meter high and 1.5 meters in size.

The fiber jade carving "Nation" was won by the president of the Chinese Association at a price of 399 million.

Then the staff brought up a set of exoskeleton mechs, which was the one donated by Tang An.

There are many people who donate armor. Cheng Long donated the armor he wore in "Myth" before.

But this mecha, which was the first time, caused a lot of discussion.

The host on the stage is already introducing: "Thanks to Mr. Tang An, chairman of Hantang Media, for donating the exoskeleton mecha. This is the first set of mecha produced for the shooting of the sci-fi blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow."

Thanks a lot, after the introduction, I quoted a starting price of 20.

The price is not set high, but also to allow more people to participate.

The lights were aimed at Tang An's side, and the reporters on the scene also snapped fiercely at the mechs on the stage.

This is the first time Tang An has announced the movie to the outside world. Mecha + science fiction can basically be guessed.

As soon as the host finished speaking, a voice came from next door.

"21 million!"
