Chapter 999: Chapter 999: Thanks to Sheng Tang
Sheng Tang and William sat at the head table.
Besides them, there were also Fei Muzhi and top executives from Huatai Film and Television.
This time, Tang Xun was not present.
The celebration dinner for the two crews was arranged together, inviting celebrities from both the variety and film industries, a star-studded affair.
Sheng Tang also noticed Su Zhi.
Su Zhi is the top-grossing actress in the film industry, with her box office earnings nearing ten billion.
At the beginning, a producer of the supermodel project spoke, sharing his reflections.
He spoke for almost half an hour.
After this producer finished, it was Liu Taofang’s turn.
Liu Taofang, a bit chubby, stepped onto the stage.
He started his speech with a little joke, which had the audience laughing cheerfully.
Then, Liu Taofang shifted the topic to Sheng Tang.
"...The big success of this film owes much to the Red Fox Dou Dou. When we were designing this CG character, I wasn’t sure if it was cute or eerily scary.
Sheng Tang suggested that I incorporate some cute elements from cats into the fox. The end result was surprisingly cute. Does everyone agree?" Liu Taofang said.
There was applause from the audience.
Sheng Tang also joined in the applause.
She noticed that gazes from all around were on her. She gently looked back and nodded in acknowledgment.
She maintained a constant smile on her face.
After speaking about the design of Red Fox Dou Dou, Liu Taofang went on to talk about how Sheng Tang insisted on the release and provided him with marketing strategies.
"Without Sheng Tang, there might not have been tonight’s celebration dinner. Twenty billion is a great figure, and we have profited immensely. So, we must not forget who saved this project at a critical moment.
Of course, the success of a film involves many elements, and I must also thank Chuiyang—the winner of the Cyan Blue Award for Best Actress—for agreeing to play the second lead, thank you for your trust.
William, this boy from Singapore, is only twenty-three years old this year, but his acting has already won over audiences." Liu Taofang named each one.
After he finished speaking about the crew, he thanked the company.
Finally, he became a bit emotional, even moved to tears.
The audience gave them applause again.
When Liu Taofang finished, two producers together cut the cake, officially starting the dinner.
Wang Chuiyang raised her glass to toast Sheng Tang.
"Honestly, when we left Huatai, you said reverse marketing would work, I didn’t believe it in my heart," Wang Chuiyang laughed, "At that time, I even doubted if the market’s faith in Sheng Tang was just superstition?
It seems now, we should believe in superstition, especially in our industry. Now I am also considered a box office actress, with a Cyan Blue Award to my name."
Sheng Tang clinked glasses with her, "Congratulations!"
"Same to you!" Wang Chuiyang winked at her, "Hurry up and make an art film, I’ll introduce my award-push team to you, to repay this favor."
Sheng Tang didn’t feel she owed Wang Chuiyang a favor.
Wang Chuiyang appreciating her kindness made her a bit uneasy.
"I’ll shoot one in a while," Sheng Tang laughed, "I also want to win Best Actress."
The dinner was very lively.
William was also familiar with people in the variety industry, and soon was raising his glass, greeting everyone around.
Many people also came over to talk to Sheng Tang.
Later, Liu Taofang called Sheng Tang over to introduce her to a lady.
"This is Ms. Sun, she is currently the director of the film selection department at Huatai Film and Television," Liu Taofang said.
Hearing the word "currently," Sheng Tang felt a slight stir in her heart.
Specifically introducing her to Director Sun, is it possible that this Director Sun is about to become the president of Huatai Film and Television?
After the box office explosion of "White Snake," Tang Xun definitely has to resign.
If he doesn’t leave, the board won’t tolerate him.
"Hello, Sister Sun." Sheng Tang didn’t address her as director, but used a more affectionate term, planning to solidify their personal relationship.
