Chapter 921: Spend a Little Money to Achieve Great Things
If it was an ordinary person who provided the auction item, the staff would definitely throw the chair into the warehouse without hesitation.
However, it was clearly written on the note.
Black Bean Media, Hao Yun.
No matter which of these two names, people dare not neglect them. One is the first entertainment company in China, and the other is a talented director who has already entered Hollywood.
Therefore, the people working below had to report the situation to the upper level.
After reporting it layer by layer, they finally had to hold a meeting to discuss what to do. Even Su Mang didn't know what to do for a while.
Wu Hong, the president and editor-in-chief of the magazine and the president of Fashion Media Group, has pancreatic cancer and can no longer manage things. It will probably be a matter of a few months.
While waiting for the arrival of Vice President Liu Jiang, several deputy editors had very different opinions.
Wei Tian, deputy editor-in-chief of Fashion, said that the focus of Harper's Bazaar is fashion. The auction items of Harper's Bazaar Charity Night are either dresses, jewelry, or antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Taste is the most important thing. What's the big deal about taking a chair to auction?
It's not that we don't give face to Heidou Media and Hao Yun, it's that they don't give face to us first.
Dong Gang, deputy editor-in-chief of Beauty, said that the focus of Bazaar Charity Night is charity. Now a very influential person takes out an auction item, why can't he participate in the auction.
Regardless of whether this thing is fashionable or not, it becomes more complicated with the story of Hao Yun and Lu Yan.
A chair with a story is essentially no different from a shareholder.
Moreover, after several years, when Hao Yun becomes a master, this chair that he has sat on since his debut will also become a real work of art.
It has more room for appreciation than ordinary antiques.
Zhang Yimou's chair does not have a similar legendary experience.
"Will it offend Lu Yan?" Su Mang was thinking about this. Her goal is to become a fashion godmother, and flattering the high and trampling the low is her style of doing things.
"It's better to offend Lu Yan than to offend Hao Yun." The person who came in was Liu Jiang, deputy president and deputy editor-in-chief of the agency.
He had just finished a meeting.
In fact, when the editor-in-chief was dying, his workload was very huge.
He needed to coordinate many things.
"What does Mr. Liu mean..." Su Mang stood up quickly.
After the editor-in-chief left, Liu Jiang would definitely not be able to handle so many things, and the power would be divided. How much she could get would depend on Liu Jiang's intention.
"Why not? While there are still a few days before it starts, we should increase the publicity efforts. I believe that Heimi Weibo will cooperate with us." Liu Jiang said.
"That's right, Lu Yan should play his surplus value." She was born in an ordinary family and her ability was not too outstanding. Keeping in line with the leader was her only way to get to where she is today.
A group of people discussed the details and the degree again.
Auctions are auctions, and they didn't intend to offend Lu Yan to death.
They hoped that Lu Yan could come and bid for the chair.
In this way, his luck would not be suppressed by others, and he could also get the title of a philanthropist to whitewash himself.
I just don't know if Lu Yan has the courage to come in person.
Unfortunately, if Lu Yu was such a generous and open-minded person, he would not be pressed to the ground by Hao Yun.
He did not come to the 7th Bazaar Charity Night held at Yintai Center.
Now Bazaar Charity Night has become a trend, with so many stars, missing one or two big names is nothing.
The absence of Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi did not affect the atmosphere at all.
However, although Hao Yun is not in the arena, the whole arena is full of legends about him.
Almost everyone knows that he took a chair to the Bazaar Charity Night for auction, and all the proceeds were used to "care for seriously ill children."
This chair was lifted up in the middle of the time.
"The director's chair you see now was provided by Hao Yun, a famous director in my country.
Since 2002, this chair has accompanied Director Hao Yun for seven years. It has witnessed the birth of many classic film and television works such as "Inner Labyrinth", "Those Years", "The Sound of Wind", "Little Forest", "Whiplash", "Back to 20", and "Your Name".
How many seven years can there be in a person's life? In these seven years, Director Hao Yun has gradually become a world-renowned genius director from a newcomer.
Currently, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi are filming the new film "Inception" in Hollywood in collaboration with Nolan, Leonardo and others.
He attaches great importance to the situation of seriously ill children, and even took out his own director's chair to support charity. Thank you Director Hao Yun here."
The host first made an introduction, and then there was applause from the audience.
The auctioneer began the auction.
This thing itself is not valuable, and its practicality is not very good - after all, it is a second-hand thing that has been used for seven years, and even if it is bought back, it is impossible to use it for another seven years.
So, its starting price is only 20,000 yuan.
This is because Hao Yun's aura as a big director and Bazaar Charity Night gave him face, so there is such a price.
Otherwise, even 200 yuan may not be wanted.
At the beginning, there were not many people raising signs, but there were always people raising the price.
There is reason to suspect that it was arranged by Heidou Media.
Even Zhou Xun and Zhang Jingying raised their signs in person, and they are their bosses.
After the auction price reached 200,000, there were not many people raising signs.
There is no grudge, why should we suppress Lu Yu, and we may not be able to suppress this evil spirit, and we may be attacked by this evil spirit.
"380,000!" Fang Long raised the sign.
He had to support Hao Yun. He didn't expect Hao Yun to sell his precious chair.
However, he didn't just want to support him.
If he was really photographed, he would be embarrassed to make that chair outside, but he could put the chair at home and sit on it occasionally.
His movies in recent years have lost money one after another.
I wonder if absorbing some of Lu Yu's luck can improve the current downturn.
"420,000!"
Boss Yu, the president of Berna, is also a superstitious person. He smiled apologetically at Fang Long.
Friendship is friendship, but he doesn't want to miss this top-quality equipment.
At least it has to be legendary.
Sitting on it, you can absorb Lu Yu's life, magic, luck...
Not only these two big guys held signs.
A special guest who came today-Will Smith and his wife, they are also interested in this chair.
They mainly don't know the stars and directors in the Chinese entertainment industry.
They don't like the auction items presented today.
But they know Hao Yun...
In fact, Will Smith thinks that if he can wait for "Happiness Pursuit", why can't he wait for rescue on Mars.
You can't discriminate against black people.
It's only a few hundred thousand RMB, which is less than 100,000 US dollars. Compared with his net worth, it's a drop in the bucket. Why doesn't he spend a little money to do a big thing and make Hao Yun familiar with him through the auction.
However, it's not easy for Shi Huang to get this chair.
Fang Long may be humble, after all, he is filming "The Karate Kid" with Shi Huang's son. The film has an investment of 25 million US dollars, and Shi Huang invited Fang Long to support his son.
But why should Yu Dong let them.
And, it's not just them who are holding signs.
There are two people who are not known to everyone. There are two or three hundred people on the scene, and only one-third are celebrities. It's normal to have people you don't know.
Bazaar thought that the chair should be able to be auctioned for about 500,000, but it didn't expect that the auction price has been rising and soon reached 1.8 million.
Only 300,000 US dollars!
The prices in China are really low, Will Smith continued to hold up the sign with a calm expression.
