In Zhou Yujie's big villa, a large group of men and women came, but this high-end dinner that Jiang Xianxian was looking forward to did not look like she imagined.

It was actually the people who came to eat who cooked by themselves.

At most, it is the nanny of Zhou Yujie's family, who is responsible for helping everyone.

Only then did Jiang Xianxian know that Zhou Yujie could actually stir-fry, and the film director Xu Jingwei was known as a five-star chef with a monthly salary of at least 10,000 yuan - they really took turns to stir-fry!

Zhou Yujie's agent, Liu Chuanying, also cooks, and he is very good at fish stew.

Lao Mu is very good at making cold cucumbers.

The drummer named Song Chunhui is said to be particularly good at grilling skewers, and in the courtyard of the big villa, he set up a high-end looking grill and grilled meat for everyone.

On the contrary, most of the women who come today don't know anything, at best, they wash the vegetables by hand, and they are often disgusted by the men for not being clean.

Jiang Xianxian didn't know how to deal with such a scene at all, when she was at home, she would actually cook a few home-cooked dishes, but on such an occasion, she didn't know if she should sign up to cook.

On the contrary, it was Peng Xiangming, who naturally squatted down to peel onions and garlic, and was also responsible for pounding garlic.

So Jiang Xianxian went over and squatted down to help Peng Xiangming peel garlic.

Smelling the tempting aroma of all kinds of food, she gradually did not feel hungry, but felt that it seemed to be more high-end because of such an "abnormal" meal.

Later, at the wine table, she heard a lot of stories.

Lao Mu said that he came to Yanjing at the beginning of that year, just in time to catch up with the extreme recession of the music market at that time, and the performance market was also difficult to do, so he had a period of time, living in the basement, eating steamed buns dipped in salt, dipped in convenient fabrics, eating mouth full of bubbles, and later learned to mix cucumbers, so he took advantage of the supermarket at nine o'clock in the evening to play a special price, went to buy more than a dozen catties of cucumbers in one go, came back to eat steamed bread with cold cucumbers, and did not go out for several days.

So, he's best at chilling cucumbers.

As for the drummer Song Chunhui, it is said that when he first made music, he couldn't eat, and he only survived by making money by grilling skewers for other people's barbecue restaurants.

The film director Xu Jingwei is said to have really gone to a restaurant to seek refuge with fellow villagers, cut and cut for others in the back kitchen for three months, and secretly learned a lot of cooking skills.

It is said that at that time, his first film lost a lot.

With an investment of 15 million, he also won the Silver Sailing Award at the Qingdao International Film Festival, which means Best Director, but after the release, it only changed back to the box office of 12 million, and the bottom pants were gone. (PS: Qing Island is the big city in Lu Province.) This film festival belongs to the setting of this article, so don't argue. ）

He was at a loss, and soon spent all his savings, and then his girlfriend also broke up, and suddenly felt that his life was bleak, and he couldn't pay the rent for a few months, and he felt that he had no face in the film industry, so he went to work in a restaurant, and ate and lived by the way, until a few months later, the boss suddenly contacted him and asked him to come back to receive the award.

It was only then that he learned that after his movie went offline, because the rating on "Little Red Flower" has always been high, oscillating between 8.5 and 8.6, the on-demand on video sites has not been bad.

Later, in the year-end awards season, his movie that hit the streets in theaters actually won several good awards along the way, and he himself won the Best New Director of the Chinese Film Feitian Award, which can almost be regarded as the highest award in the Chinese film industry, so the on-demand volume on the video website has grown wildly.

Eight months after the movie went offline, the number of online video on demand exceeded 4 million!

Although it is only ten yuan for an on-demand broadcast, there is no distributor to take a cut for this, which is basically half of the producer and the video website, so it is very strange that his movie has returned to its original cost and made money.

So he got the second chance in his life to direct.

is still an investment of 15 million, this time, he got back more than 120 million box office, and he helped the producer make a lot of money just by releasing the box office, and the reputation continued to rise, scoring on Xiaohonghua, getting a score of 8.7 higher than the previous work, and was once regarded as a masterpiece by some fans.

Since then, he has been on a smooth path.

In the third part, he pressed the investment at 20 million, and never dared to go higher, but finally got back the box office of more than 80 million. There is no loss, and even a small profit. Considering that the number of on-demand views of his movies on video websites has always been not low, the producers still have a lot of money to make. But this one, which set the lowest rating for his movie, was only 8.1.

And just a few days ago, his fourth film had just been completed.

In his words, it is still a story between crazy men and women in the metropolis.

The investment has risen to 30 million, and life and death are uncertain.

The producer hopes to sell more than 150 million at the box office, but he himself is not confident.

............

The meal began for twenty minutes, and after listening to the story, Jiang Xianxian didn't dare to pick up a few chopsticks in total—in fact, she also noticed that almost every woman present didn't eat much.

The one who eats the most is Wu Yun, the girlfriend of the film director Xu Jingwei.

Yet she was as thin as cardboard.

She also quietly paid attention to the observation, the dozen or so people sitting at the big dinner table were obviously centered on Zhou Yujie, Xu Jingwei and Peng Xiangming, although the old man had few words, he was one with them - the reason why she said this was because when others were talking to them, their tones were very polite, even with some compliments, and they laughed at each other.

Chen Kaijie is an old singer, and his status is not low, but when he was the most popular, he was far less popular than Zhou Yujie now, so he was not tough enough to speak loudly enough, and his wife Zeng Rou has always been very deliberately trying to please Xu Jingwei and his girlfriend Wu Yun when she speaks, and even Chen Kaijie seems to help pat the horse.

Jiang Xianxian guessed that it might be because she has always been a TV drama actor, but she really wants to make movies.

But Peng Xiangming obviously respects Chen Kaijie very much and speaks to him very politely.

The drummer Song Chunhui has almost no sense of existence, just eating, clinking glasses with his head up, and drinking.

In addition, including herself, of course, the girl Lingling signed by Zhou Yujie's studio, and Lao Mu's girlfriend who has no name, they basically have no right to speak, and can only listen.

One exception is Liu Chuanying, who is responsible for gags and jokes to liven up the atmosphere.

He had some jokes, and he said something very yellow, but everyone laughed.

Before today, she couldn't imagine that Liu Chuanying would have such a gentle figure in private, and the only few times she saw him on Daqi Records, he was very imposing, and the people who came and went were either those company executives or the top ones in the production department.

Generally, the two ordinary people are not even qualified to get to know him.

At least for Jiang Xianxian, he is definitely an existence that needs to be looked up to.

At the same time, Jiang Xianxian also noticed that although Peng Xiangming behaved very freely on such an occasion, far more freely than himself, he didn't seem to be very active and didn't talk much.

Everyone took the initiative to talk to him - everyone seemed to like to talk to him.

For example, Xu Jingwei, Wu Yun and Zeng Rou all like to talk to him about his face, saying that he has the face of a natural prodigal hero - Xu Jingwei said again that he wants to make a movie for Peng Xiangming.

When they spoke, Jiang Xianxian couldn't help but turn his head to look at the handsome big boy beside him.

In fact, when they met for the first time, she felt that he was really good-looking and handsome, but before, she didn't take this matter to heart, because she clearly knew that she didn't need a boyfriend now, what she needed was works, works, works.

But I have to say that at this time, when she saw a few people surrounding her to praise the boy next to her for being handsome, she suddenly found that he was indeed quite handsome and charming - so she also felt honored to follow.

Zhou Yujie, Lao Mu, Chen Kaijie and a few of them like to talk to Peng Xiangming about his song "Dream Chaser", Zhou Yujie also specially ordered the girl named Lingling under his command to toast Peng Xiangming with a glass of wine, hoping that when Peng Xiangming has a work suitable for girls to sing, he can take care of Lingling and help her make up the first specialty.

This made Jiang Xianxian very uncomfortable, so she became more and more hostile to that Lingling.

She knew very well in her heart that the table was full of people, only she and that spirit were really standing in the same situation, and they were all people waiting to take over the baton.

And now, she is obviously here to compete with herself for resources.

Of course, with her emotional intelligence, she will not show her hostility.

In fact, today's dinner is themed.

Zhou Yujie, as the host here, said very clearly his intention to convene this dinner.

The first is to congratulate Peng Xiangming on the sales of his first single exceeding one million, and asking him to treat and celebrate after the sales exceed five million-said it was a request, but of course this is some kind of blessing, Peng Xiangming agreed on the spot, saying that if he can really sell five million copies, he will definitely treat him.

That old wood directly said that he would definitely be able to pass, and eight million sheets might not be able to stop it.

The second is to celebrate the successful completion of Xu Jingwei's new film, help him pick up the wind and wash the dust, and wish his movies will be a box office hit after they are released in the future, and word of mouth and box office will fly together.

The third is to match Peng Xiangming and Xu Jingwei, because Xu Jingwei became obsessed with "Dream Chaser" as soon as he heard it, and wanted to buy the right to use this song as an interlude for his movie.

Peng Xiangming also agreed on the spot, and Wu Yun said that she would contact Peng Xiangming's agent tomorrow.

The fourth is that Lao Mu admires Peng Xiangming's "Dream Chaser" very much, and wants to get to know Peng Xiangming, so he, as an acquaintance on both sides, is responsible for pulling a pimp.

And the fifth, of course, is the invitation song.

His new album is in preparation, and the girl named Lingling under his command is about to release her first single, and she is going to prepare for her first album next, so he wants to invite Peng Xiangming to sing.

This made Jiang Xianxian more and more aware that with the song "Dream Chaser" showing signs of popularity, he was not the only one who took a fancy to Peng Xiangming's creative ability.

All of a sudden, her pressure became even greater.

So when everyone poured wine again, she was ruthless, and after pouring wine for Peng Xiangming, she poured another piece into her cup.
