"Why do I have to go through security and hand over my cell phone just to eat?" Meng Yuan asked puzzledly.

"That's right. After all, all the contents of the movie have not been announced to the public yet. We are worried that the content discussed tonight will be recorded by someone with ulterior motives and leaked in advance."

"After all, Director Mo is well-known for hating early leaks, so please cooperate."

Although the other party was being polite, his body was already prepared to snatch the things away by force if Meng Yuan did not cooperate.

Meng Yuan knew that it was not appropriate for her to confront the other party head-on, so she said, "Well, you guys don't need to look after it for me. I'll go down and give it to my agent and ask her to keep it for me."

After Meng Yuan finished speaking, he turned around and prepared to go back.

He was stopped by the staff next to him:

"Ms. Meng, this is our job. We don't mind the trouble, and you don't have to worry about us causing trouble. Just give it to us directly."

As they were talking, another female artist came up and walked towards them. Meng Yuan thought about it and realized that if he remembered correctly, this person should be the third female lead in this movie.

The other party was also there when we signed the contract in the afternoon.

Meng Yuan remembered that she was wearing an ordinary Chanel-style suit during the day, but after a while, she changed into a high-slit halter dress with a waist and a shawl that was about to fall off.

The path from the stairs is so twisted and swaying.

The other party saw Meng Yuan at the door, walked closer, looked him up and down, and said sarcastically:

"You're just dressed like this?"

Meng Yuan looked down at her casual outfit today, puzzled. She wasn't told to wear the same outfit as when walking on the red carpet, right?

Seeing that Meng Yuan didn't answer, the other party snorted and asked, "Why don't you go in?"

As he spoke, he cooperated with the staff to hand in his phone and passed the security check. Then he stood there, as if waiting for Meng Yuan.

There was a hungry wolves in front, a tiger next to him, and a lion behind him. Meng Yuan looked at himself surrounded by them and had no choice but to hand over his phone. He watched the staff turn off the phone and put it in the bag.

When the female artist saw Meng Yuan following her, she snorted disdainfully again and pushed the door open and walked into the private room first.

Meng Yuan followed behind and frowned almost immediately after seeing the scene inside. He subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, but the door behind him had been closed.

Moreover, the female artist walking in front of him had already taken his hand at some point and walked to the dining table as if they were very familiar with each other.

In addition to Director Mo, producer Han Xiang, and the film's actors, there were also several unfamiliar faces that Meng Yuan had never seen before.

The empty seats are next to these unfamiliar faces.

Director Mo saw the two people coming and waved his hand and said, "Xiao Su and Xiao Meng came together. You two are the only ones missing. Come on, come on, find a seat."

The female artist called Xiao Su had already found a seat and sat down, so Meng Yuan had to sit in the only empty seat.

There were strange men on both sides. When Meng Yuan sat down, they looked at her with scrutiny, making her very uncomfortable.

Director Mo saw that everyone had arrived and sat down, and began to introduce the people who were going tonight.

Only then did Meng Yuan realize that the unfamiliar faces at the dinner table, including those sitting on both sides of him, were all investors in the film.

Director Mo and Producer Han were very polite to the bosses and toasted them one by one in order of their seats.

After the director and producer finished their toast, the rest of the actors raised their glasses and toasted one by one.

Moreover, each of the toasts had its own style and was very sincere. Meng Yuan shook his head in his heart. It seemed that the entertainment industry could not escape the drinking culture.

Meng Yuan observed from the side and found that the dinner parties in the entertainment industry were much more exciting than the business dinners she attended before she transmigrated into the book.

First, the director and producer toasted the bosses of the financing company.

Then the male and female protagonists toasted the director, producer and financing boss respectively, followed by the second male and female protagonists.

All of the above are well-known figures in the circle. Although they are humble, the bosses at least give them face and they smile and drink as they should.

After that, it was the turn of the third female lead and a group of supporting actors. They not only had to toast the director, producer and investors, but also the leading actor. Before toasting, they had to bow 90 degrees to show respect.

By this time, after three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere in the entire private room seemed to have become a little more lively than at the beginning.

Of course, this is all thanks to the efforts of all the actors present.

For example, just now when a supporting actor stood up to toast, a boss said, "I heard that you sing well, sing a song."

Then singing began to sound in the private room.

After the song ended, the boss clapped his hands symbolically a few times and said that just listening to the song was a bit boring, and if there was anyone here who could dance, why not have a dance with the song.

So after you looked at me and I looked at you, another supporting actor stood up, walked to the side, and started dancing to the song.

After the two people's talent show, the boss of the capital raised his glass when they toasted again.

Later, another boss said that he heard that someone was from Tianjin, and wondered if he could perform Tianjin Kuaiban. So the person who was called stood up and performed a piece of Tianjin Kuaiban.

Just as Meng Yuan was sitting in his seat counting how many people hadn't toasted yet and wondering whether he should also make a symbolic gesture, a minor supporting actor walked up to the big investor next to Meng Yuan with a glass of wine in hand.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao. I'm Lin Xiaoai from Yaohui Entertainment. I've heard that all the movies you've invested in are hits. I've always admired you. Today I finally have the chance to meet you in person. You're even more handsome than in the photos. I'll toast to you."

The little actor named Lin Xiaoai drank it down right after he finished speaking, but Boss Zhao in front of him just raised his glass and showed no intention of drinking.

Meng Yuan had been keeping an eye on what was happening here. He saw that Lin Xiaoai was about to leave after finishing the wine in her glass. When she turned around, she tripped, and her body swayed, and she fell into Boss Zhao's arms.

Lin Xiaoai said she was sorry, but her arms were tightly around Boss Zhao's neck without letting go. Because of her posture, the hem of her clothes, which was just long enough to cover her belly button, moved up, and her slender waist was pressed tightly against Boss Zhao.

While Boss Zhao was asking why the other person was so careless, his hands went around the other person's waist without any hindrance, and he even had a tendency to move upwards through her clothes.

Meng Yuan turned around abruptly and was about to speak to stop her, but she saw Lin Xiaoai glaring at her from where Boss Zhao couldn't see, as if to signal her not to meddle in other people's business. Then she spoke in a delicate voice:

"Boss Zhao, I think I twisted my foot. It hurts so much. I can't stand anymore."

Meng Yuan turned his head back and took a few deep breaths.

Only then did I realize that the Tianjin Kuaiban had already finished, and some unlucky guy I didn't know was called up to perform a girl group dance.

This is not a formal dinner.

Don't stay here for long.

Just as Meng Yuan was about to get up and leave, he felt a hand touching his back and gradually moving down. Boss Li, who was sitting on the other side of him, was moving towards him.

Meng Yuan was startled and accidentally dropped his chopsticks when he leaned forward to avoid the other person's hand.

Then he squatted down to pick up the chopsticks, lifted the hem of the tablecloth, and when he reached in to look for the chopsticks, Meng Yuan suddenly discovered that there was someone under the table!

It was the third female who came in with him, called Xiao Su.

At this moment, she was kneeling between the knees of the boss next to her, with her head buried in them, and the boss's feet were between Xiao Su's legs.

Meng Yuan's eyes widened. Is the entertainment industry playing such a big game?

There is no need to move to a KTV club or hotel, can you just open it directly in a restaurant?

In a flash, Meng Yuan figured out why he was not invited to the movie actor gathering based on his status, but a small supporting role like him was invited.

Similarly, why are there no other male actors attending the dinner except the male lead and the second male lead, and only women?

To put it nicely, this dinner was to thank the investors, but to put it bluntly, it was to pimp.

Meng Yuan thought of the performance of those actresses at the dinner party. It was obvious that they all came well prepared, not knowing whether they were experienced or not.

I was the only one there, foolishly thinking I was just eating.

What about Yu Qingzhu? Does she know?

Is this the unspoken rule of the entertainment industry?

No wonder you have to go through security checks and no wonder your cell phone is confiscated.

He had to find a way to leave quickly, so Meng Yuan pretended he saw nothing and picked up the chopsticks as if nothing had happened.

Then he was about to get up and leave, saying he was going to the bathroom, but he was stopped by Boss Li next to him:

"What are you going to do?"
