Chapter 117 Eight Hundred (Ch 117)

September 25th,

The 2018 World Food Security Conference was held as scheduled in the No. 8 Auditorium of Beijing University.

The meeting time is 10:00 a.m.

Qi Jia and Chen Yuwen did not rush to the venue, but waited for Yang Mi in the hotel.

After arriving in Beijing on the 16th, he and Chen Yuwen first met with the official staff.

After confirming the event schedule and some details with the other party, we cooperated in rehearsals for a few days.

At the rehearsal, he also saw Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Chen Baoguo, Yang Mi and others.

As Jiaxing’s eldest sister, Yang Mi admired Qi Jia very much, so she naturally took good care of him.

After the rehearsal, he took him back to the Jiaxing headquarters and introduced him to other artists in the company.

Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Qi Jia finally helped his friend get autographed photos of Yang Mi and Reba.

I was worried that Qi Jia would be unfamiliar with this kind of activity since it was his first time.

So, Yang Mi asked Qi Jia to wait for her at the hotel today, and the three of them went to the event together.

After waiting for more than ten minutes and receiving a WeChat message on his phone, Qi Jia stood up and said to Chen Yuwen,

“Sister Mi is here, let’s go.”

The two arrived at the hotel entrance, and a Mercedes-Benz MPV just stopped.

The car door opened, and Yang Mi, who was wearing a proper dress, sat on it and said to Qi Jia with a smile,

“You’ve been waiting for a long time, come up quickly.”

“Hello, Sister Mi.”

Qi Jia and Chen Yuwen got in the car and sat in the back, saying hello together.

The difference is that Chen Yuwen’s tone is more respectful to his superiors.

Qi Jia’s tone, on the other hand, was more relaxed, as if she was greeting the older sister next door.

“We are all family, no need to be so polite.”

Yang Mi smiled and waved her hand. She looked Qi Jia up and down. Seeing that he was well dressed, she nodded with satisfaction.

“Qi Jia, don’t be nervous later, just come with me.

I will introduce you to some big names in the scene, who will be of great help to you in the future.”

After saying that, she looked at Chen Yuwen again.

“As for Manager Chen, I’ll trouble you to wait for us outside.”

“Thank you, Miss Mi.”

“Okay, Miss Mi.”

Qi Jia and Chen Yuwen responded in unison,

The hotel is not far from Beijing University and we arrived there very quickly.

Outside the event site, there were already many reporters from home and abroad who came to interview.

As soon as they saw a car approaching, they surrounded it without caring who it was, but were stopped by the security personnel.

The event was attended by not only celebrities and dignitaries, but also guests from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.

Even if any accident happens to these people, it will be a big shame overseas.

Therefore, in order to ensure that everything goes well, the organizers arranged 300 security guards.

The entire event site was secured to be packed with people.

The car door opened, and Qi Jia got out first.

Then he took Yang Mi’s hand very gentlemanly and helped her out of the car.

When the people who were close by saw it, they immediately shouted in surprise,

“It’s Qi Jia! Qi Jia and Yang Mi are here together!”

All the reporters at the scene heard the news and stretched out their hands to pass the microphone to Qi Jia.

He almost put the microphone in his mouth, and then he asked a series of questions.

“Qi Jia, do you have anything to say about becoming an ambassador this time?”

“What is your main speech at this meeting?”

“We’ve seen a lot of comments online saying that you’re too young to be an ambassador. What do you think?”

Regarding these questions, Qi Jia remembered what Yang Mi and Chen Yuwen had taught him: if you know something, say less; if you don’t know something, don’t say anything.

“This is the honor and trust the country has given me. I am very grateful to the country.”

“My main point this time is to cherish food and pay attention to food waste.”

“As for those who think I’m too young, I’ll be old in the future, thank you.”

Yang Mi, who was standing next to him, also received a lot of interview questions.

“Excuse me, Sister Mi, what do you think of Qi Jia’s performance?”

“Yang Mi, I heard that you don’t plan to renew your contract with Jiaxing. Is that true?”

“Sister Mi, if you leave Jiaxing, will you take Qi Jia with you?”

In response to these tricky questions, Yang Mi, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, smiled and answered,

“I believe I don’t need to say much about Qi Jia’s performance. The fact that he can stand here today is the most powerful answer.”

“I am still an artist of Jiaxing. You can check it out on the official website.”

She didn’t respond to the last question, but simply ignored it.

Because if we respond, it will confirm the second question.

Before the dust settles, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed to be disclosed to the public.

Even if she was just vague, it might cause fluctuations in Jiaxing’s stock price the next day.

After getting rid of the reporters’ entanglement and signing in at the entrance, the two walked into the venue together.

There were already quite a few people sitting in the auditorium that could accommodate several hundred people, and the aisles on both sides were filled with filming equipment.

As soon as the two entered the venue, a female staff member in a black suit came up and took them to their seats.

Because Qi Jia was the image ambassador, he was seated in the second row, just like Yang Mi.

As for the first row, naturally, it was occupied by leaders and foreign guests.

Qi Jia looked at the seat to his left. Although the name on it was unfamiliar, he had heard of it before.

“Li An”

A famous director from Taiwan, he directed the famous movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.

I didn’t expect that he would be invited this time. Just when Qi Jia was thinking about it, Yang Mi grabbed him and said,

“Don’t sit there like an idiot. Come on, I’ll take you to see someone.”

After saying that, Yang Mi took him to the people who were talking.

Without waiting for Yang Mi to introduce them, Qi Jia recognized these people as follows:

Guan Hu, Chen Baoguo, Lei Jiayin, Zhang Ze, Zhao Liying and Huang Bo.

Seeing Yang Mi bringing Qi Jia over, Huang Bo joked,

“Yang Mi, you keep Qi Jia with you every day. Are you afraid that he will be snatched away by someone?”

“Of course. Last time you dared to poach someone in front of me, I had to keep a closer eye on you.”

Yang Mi didn’t care at all and said with a smile,

“Qi Jia, I haven’t seen you for a few months. You are much more famous now than before, haha.”

Chen Baoguo smiled and patted Qi Jia’s shoulder, saying with great satisfaction,

“Teacher Chen, you are too kind. Fame and popularity are only temporary. If I want to become an artist as respected as you, I still need to learn more.”

Qi Jia was flattered, and quickly lowered his posture and said modestly,

“Haha, young man, it’s rare that you’re not arrogant or impatient. Great!”

“Come, let me introduce you to some friends.”

Ever since the Beijing Film Academy training class, Chen Baoguo has remembered this young man, Qi Jia.

I was worried that after he became famous, he would become arrogant and frivolous like those traffic artists.

At this moment, seeing that he could still maintain a peaceful state of mind, I admired him even more.

After that, Chen Baoguo did not wait for Yang Mi to speak, and took the initiative to introduce everyone one by one.

Qi Jia also politely greeted everyone one by one.

Several people were obviously very interested in Qi Jia, who had become a quasi-first-line actor in just two years since his debut.

Not only is it extremely popular online, but from today on, it also has official endorsement.

All this sounds like a fairy tale.

“Yang Mi, your brother is a good actor. You have to watch him carefully, or he might get poached by Huang Bo. Haha.”

Guan Hu looked at Qi Jia kindly, and said to Yang Mi with a smile,

“Qi Jia, I heard that you are still single. Why don’t you come to my place? There are many beautiful girls in my company.”

Seeing that the conversation was getting lively, Zhao Liying also chimed in.

“Qi Jia, don’t listen to Xiao Dao, come to my company.”

Zhang Ze and Lei Jiayin also followed suit.

“What are you doing? You all want to target my artist. Go away.”

Yang Mi pretended to be angry, patted the three of them lightly, and then said to Director Guan,

“Director Guan, I heard that you are planning to shoot an anti-Japanese movie recently. Can you arrange a role for my brother?”

Guan Hu is currently preparing to shoot a film called “Eight Hundred”.

The story tells of a battle that took place at the Sihang Warehouse in Shanghai in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Hearing what Yang Mi said, Guan Hu laughed a few times, and without much hesitation, he said very straightforwardly,

“Since you asked, then of course there is no problem. However, the leading actors have already been confirmed, and there are only a few supporting roles. But they are all well-known martyrs in history. As long as Qi Jia is willing, he can choose whoever he wants to play.”

Qi Jia had never heard of this movie before, but mainstream movies like this are a plus in an acting career.

Not to mention, it was directed by Guan Hu himself, so the cast must be good.

Therefore, Qi Jia didn’t even think twice and said directly,

“I am willing to do so. Thank you, Director.”

When a few people were talking happily, another group of people walked in from the entrance, which immediately caused a commotion at the scene.
