Chapter 358 Before the Banquet

Qin Jue was greeted politely by the two waiters. He didn't need to give any more instructions. They led him one after another. It was obvious that he had already been greeted.

"I wish you a pleasant meal, Mr. Qin."

One of them put his hand on his chest and bowed at a standard ninety degrees. His humble attitude and etiquette were unmistakable and perfectly in line with the class and positioning of this Western restaurant.

"Thanks."

Qin Jue bowed slightly and returned the salute.

She saw the waiter stunned for a moment, then returned to his decent smile, and the enthusiasm in his smile became more genuine. She said in a low voice, "I won't disturb you anymore," and then stepped away appropriately.

Qin Jue grasped the spherical handle and pushed the door open.

Oops.

No wonder, this Western restaurant has set up each private room very deep. Just walking here requires a few detours. It is really inconvenient without anyone to guide you.

After the door was opened, what appeared in front of Qin Jue was not a long table and high-backed chairs, nor even a human figure - only a quiet path.

Inside the door is an exquisite small garden.

Compared with the dimly lit and elegant environment in the Western restaurant, this "secret garden" is enough to make people's eyes shine.

In the evening, walking on the stone path under the starry night, watching the branches and flowers swaying in the breeze, dining leisurely amidst the natural beauty... Haha, I really enjoy it.

Qin Jue sighed inwardly, his expression did not change, and he walked forward.

Following the direction of the path, I turned a corner and saw Jiang Shuming and others sitting under the glazed lights. They were all in suits and leather shoes. Even Nie Xingliang, who always wore trendy clothes, was well-behaved and looked like a normal young man. appearance.

Jiang Shuming saw Qin Jue at a glance, smiled and waved.

"It's so dreamy here."

Qin Jue walked over with a smile and handed the gift to Jiang Shuming without mentioning it deliberately.

The latter also took over naturally, as if it was just a normal small interaction between good friends.

"Hey, it was recommended by this guy. He likes to engage in these Western-style romances."

Jiang Shuming's laughter diluted the elegant, high-class, but invisibly repulsive atmosphere. He patted Qin Jue's shoulder and introduced a few words to everyone present.

"Stop showing off." The man sitting next to Jiang Shuming, who had just been teased by him, laughed, "Who doesn't know that this is a good seedling you dug up? Enough is enough!"

This dinner party was organized by Jiang Shuming. How could anyone not do any homework for the host? The results of "The Cage" were so good. None of these people knew Qin Jue.

"Hey, give me some face, Lao Xu."

Jiang Shuming said it, but he didn't really brag about his own actors. In addition to Bole and Qianlima, his relationship with Qin Jue more or less means that they are from the same school. To put it more deeply, this is his The granddaughter of her mentor.

"You have a good memory, so I won't go into details." Jiang Shuming introduced the people at the table to Qin Jue with a smile, "This is Xu Qingyuan, a senior screenwriter. He wrote the script of "The Punisher" alone; this is, Nan Suxia, a well-known musician..."

Every time he introduced someone, Qin Jue smiled, nodded and bowed to say hello, instead of being arrogant and losing etiquette just because he was close to Jiang Shuming.

She waited until Jiang Shuming mentioned Nie Xingliang, who was at the bottom of the queue, then raised her eyebrows, as if she was watching a good show.

"You're so annoying!"

Nie Xingliang glared at her with a smile on his face.

"Oh, yes, you two participated in the same variety show." Xu Qingyuan patted his head and said with a smile, "Come on, Lao Jiang, don't be particular about the seating order. Just let the young people sit together."

"That's right, Xingliang is such a lively kid, and he didn't even say a few words just now." Someone else laughed, "We are old, there is a generation gap."

"What else can you do besides tearing me down?" Jiang Shuming cursed with a smile, nodded to Qin Jue, and assumed that she would sit next to Nie Xingliang.

Nie Xingliang breathed a sigh of relief visibly. As soon as Qin Jue reached the chair, he couldn't help but come over and mutter.

Qin Jue listened in amusement to the child's muttering, which was nothing more than "It's hard to put on a suit", "Although the food here is quite delicious, it's quite far away", "My mother doesn't let me talk more" and so on.

Although the place was set to be very high-end, it was just a courtesy of the upper class. Jiang Shuming himself had no intention of showing off. Except for Qin Jue, no one else came to the dinner. Everyone was drinking pre-dinner wine and chatting casually. Wait for him by the way.

What was placed in front of Nie Xingliang was a cocktail with a very low alcohol content, similar to a fruity drink. Qin Jue glanced at it calmly and ordered a cup.

The "adults" present were talking back and forth, sometimes arguing about professional matters.

Jiang Shuming had been making movies before. This time he took over the filming of the TV series "Snow and Snow Lotus" and became a monk halfway. He kept exchanging experiences with the TV series director at the table, and screenwriter Xu Qingyuan would also chime in from time to time.

Qin Jue gradually understood that apart from her, everyone here, including Nie Xingliang, was the main creative team of "Snowstorm Furong".

This TV series is adapted from the famous martial arts novel by Mr. Jin Lao and is jointly launched by Xingluo Entertainment and Xingfeng Entertainment.

The bosses of these two entertainment companies are brothers. Their careers once had a glorious period, and they were known as the "double stars of the entertainment industry." However, as Canhua Entertainment has come from behind, in recent years, they have been somewhat overwhelmed. They can all be kings on their own, but now they have to work together to compete with Canhua.

Two of the company's producers were also sitting at the table.

Ten minutes passed, and the topic gradually spread from "Snow and Lotus" to other things. Qin Jue was led to join the conversation. She didn't talk much, but her eyes always brightened when acting was mentioned.

Although she had not done any homework on the directors, screenwriters, designers and musicians present, she had memorized everyone's names when she was studying the work.

Therefore, compared to awards and personal anecdotes, Qin Jue can talk about their works, and at the same time briefly mention his own views and opinions, truly admiring the finishing touches in certain works.

"You're looking too closely." Xu Qingyuan was a little surprised and a little surprised.

The parts Qin Jue mentioned are very clear to him. Except for those who really participated in the creation, who will remember such small details unforgettable, few people can have a clear impression, let alone appreciate and analyze them.

No wonder, no wonder Chiang Kai-shek likes this child so much...

The smile on his face became more sincere, and he chatted with Qin Jue in a low voice about plot settings and interesting things that happened on the set during filming.

After a while, Jiang Shuming casually brought the topic to the musician Nan Suxia and talked about the art of soundtracks for TV series.

Nan Suxia knew what he was talking about. She took a sip on the edge of the wine glass with her red lips and smiled softly:

"That's right, I didn't expect something unexpected happened."

With an indescribable deep smile, she added: "What a pity. I still wanted to have a good discussion with Xue Qi on the theme song of "Snow and Furong"."

"Oh? Theme song?" the producer of Xingluo Entertainment praised.

Nan Suxia's smile was still on her face, but she said nothing more and looked directly at Jiang Shuming.

Jiang Shuming smiled bitterly and said casually, as if sharing daily trivial matters:

"Yeah, isn't it fate?"

He smiled: "It turns out that the theme song was performed by teacher Yu Xueqi from Yangliu Entertainment, but..."

Jiang Shuming's hesitation was somewhat exaggerated, but Qin Jue had no intention of paying attention to this at this time.

The theme song of "Snowstorm Hibiscus"...Yangliu Entertainment...

Yu Xueqi?
