Chapter 44: A Banquet with Love
Shen Ge saw a lot in this glance, and thus realized a lot.
For example, that may not have been Ling Jiale's own choice.
As he has seen after getting to know Ling Jiale, the reason why Ling Jiale is very willful in many small things is because he has never been able to make decisions for himself in major matters.
Shen Ge's heart was smashed instantly, he would rather that when Ling Jiale appeared in that video, it was voluntary.
Boss Jiang said: "Seafood allergy? Oh, sorry, how about... we eat Western food? Order what you like."
Shen Ge clenched his fists and refused for Ling Jiale: "I'm sorry, Boss Jiang, Ling Jiale is not feeling well today, so I can't go."
He thought he could speak more tactfully on behalf of Ling Jiale, but how much politeness can a young man put on under such grief and indignation?
Boss Jiang saw through his hostility at a glance, his amiability faded away, and he sneered instead: "You're so arrogant, so hard to please?"
Song Cheng elbowed him to smooth things over: "Forget it, forget it, Ling Jiale is not feeling well, let's go to another day." He said goodbye to Ling Jiale again, and pulled the annoyed Boss Jiang left.
Shen Ge dragged Ling Jiale back to the set, he wanted to settle accounts with the assistant director!
"It's all from the same crew, so why not film well? Why do you keep doing those things! Director Wang is not here, shouldn't you, as a temporary director, protect his actors for Director Wang?"
The assistant director was dumbfounded by his words, "What's the matter? You're yelling! Where's our boss Jiang?"
Ling Jiale seemed to wake up from a nightmare, only then did he realize that Shen Ge had once again stood up for himself, he bit his lip hard, and looked at Shen Ge with indescribable eyes for a moment.
Shen Ge embraced his shoulders, comforted him sadly and restrainedly: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of offending them, I don't expect anything from such a dirty company!"
dirty?The assistant director wondered, he was always very satisfied with Midtown, how could such a good company be dirty?
The assistant director looked at the angry Shen Ge, and then at Ling Jiale, who was about to cry. A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he clenched his fist and smashed it into the other hand, "Where are you guys going?" Our Boss Jiang is not that kind of person!"
He hurriedly chased him out, and after a while, Boss Jiang and Song Cheng left and returned.
Boss Jiang pointed at the two of them and scolded dumbfoundedly: "You guys, why are you thinking so dirty!"
Shen Ge and Ling Jiale looked at each other, they couldn't believe it, especially Ling Jiale, who couldn't hide what was on his mind at all, looked back and forth between Boss Jiang and Song Cheng, and almost wrote "Nurture" on his face. word.
Only then did Song Cheng understand what was going on, and burst into a loud laugh, patting Boss Jiang's chest until he couldn't breathe: "Although it doesn't look like much, this is indeed a good person, a good person who is just like a fake !"
The weird and tense atmosphere was broken up by his laughter, and Ling Jiale couldn't help laughing, with inexplicable enthusiasm in his eyes.
Like Jiang Lu buried his face on Zhang Song's shoulder, he buried his face on Shen Ge's arm, and secretly wiped away the tears that were about to overflow with his sleeve.
It seems that since he took over the drama "Sweat Through Shirt", he has been meeting good people.
He seems to have really turned his luck.
Boss Jiang drove the car himself. Among the four, only Song Cheng and Ling Jiale were friends. Sitting in the back, Shen Ge had to sit in the co-pilot.
Song Cheng once again expressed his gratitude for Ling Jiale's rescue of him in a talent show, but obviously, no matter how he described it in detail, Ling Jiale still had no impression.
It wasn't until Song Cheng mentioned that he had offended other judges in order to speak for himself, that Ling Jiale suddenly realized: "No wonder I met her in a variety show later, and I always felt that there was something in her words, as if she didn't like me."
Song Cheng has never been famous, and in that talent show, he only appeared as a "student" of the judges.But the one Ling Jiale offended for him was a big name, even someone like Shen Ge who doesn't follow stars has heard of her name.
Ling Jiale has always responded to Song Cheng's thanks with the words "it's easy to do", Shen Ge couldn't help but think that helping people is easy for him, and offending people is no different.
Boss Jiang, who was driving, looked back at them and said with a smile, "Ling Jiale is not suitable for this job. It's nothing else. I'm just complimenting you."
He is the big boss of an entertainment company, and he is not a delicate person himself. He has no taboos when speaking, but Ling Jiale feels bitter because of this.
Song Cheng hurriedly changed the subject: "Then what are we having for dinner?"
Boss Jiang pointed the steering wheel with his fingers, and said to himself: "If you are allergic to seafood—the daily food will not work..."
Ling Jiale said shyly: "Actually, I'm not allergic to seafood, I quite like seafood..."
The other three people in the car couldn't help laughing again.
Boss Jiang took them to a big hotel.
Ling Jiale said, "Tan Que has changed."
Boss Jiang couldn't help asking: "Have you been here before?"
"I often came here when I was a child. My mother said that my [-]-day banquet was held here, but it should be downstairs."
Boss Jiang said: "Oh, maybe it's in the cafeteria. In the past, banquets could be reserved there."
Ling Jiale smiled and said: "Yes, it should be the cafeteria. I can't remember it. I just remember that there was a chocolate waterfall. I liked it very much when I was a child. There is also a lobby, which is very spacious and has many coconut trees."
Boss Jiang corrected him with a smile: "Is it a palm tree? There are still some."
"Ah? Really? I can't tell."
Song Cheng smiled and asked, "Is Ling Jiale a local?"
Ling Jiale nodded, and Song Cheng asked Shen Ge again: "Where is Shen Ge?"
"I'm from province X."
Song Cheng was surprised and said, "Your Mandarin is really good. The people I know in province X can't distinguish front and back nasal sounds."
Boss Jiang snorted, "He's an actor, so of course he can't have an accent."
Shen Ge smiled, didn't say anything, just looked around the magnificent hotel again.
The waiter brought them to a spacious private room. A beautiful sashimi boat was placed in the center of the round table. The brightly colored ingredients were spread on the crushed ice, and the air was steaming.
"Chen Xiaoxing is considerate in everything he does. He even opened the wine for us." Boss Jiang asked the waiter, "When will you, Mr. Chen, come over?"
Just as he was asking, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and then a handsome and tall middle-aged man came in. He was also in a suit and leather shoes. He also looked somewhat similar to Boss Jiang in appearance, but he was older and more serious.
Boss Jiang immediately shouted: "Fourth Uncle!"
Song Cheng also greeted him, looking a bit cautious: "Hello, Chairman Jiang."
Not the young and potbellied appearance they had expected.
This Jiang Donglue nodded and walked towards them. He took big steps and was very imposing. He shook hands with Song Cheng first, then glanced at Shen Ge and Ling Jiale, and then asked Boss Jiang: "Why?" Do not invite guests to sit down?"
Boss Jiang immediately looked like a junior, he hurriedly asked Shen Ge and Ling Jiale to sit down, and even specially let out the "supreme seat" facing the door, so that Chairman Jiang could sit there.
Jiang Dong waved his hands indifferently, found a seat nearby, and while sitting down, unbuttoned two suit buttons with one hand, keeping his back straight.
Shen Ge and Ling Jiale immediately understood Song Cheng's restraint, and their sitting postures couldn't help but become more correct.
Boss Jiang introduced the two to Chairman Jiang, "This is Ling Jiale, a big star with a lot of fans; this is Shen Ge, a newly signed actor in Midtown. What do you think, Uncle Si? Is he handsome? I Don't you have good eyesight?"
Chairman Jiang ignored him, stood up and shook hands with Shen Ge and Ling Jiale one by one, saying "Long admiration" and "Nice to meet you".
Although he is still serious when exchanging greetings with others, and he is very clear that his "long admiration" and "fortunate meeting" are 100% polite, but it is this politeness and respect that people can't fault.
"Have you ordered?" Jiang Dong asked Boss Jiang.
Boss Jiang said: "I don't know, I asked Chen Xiaoxing to arrange it."
Chairman Jiang glanced at the waiter, who immediately brought two menus and put them in front of Shen Ge and Ling Jiale.
Chairman Jiang asked them to order, and looked at them. The two of them flipped through the menu under his gaze, feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles.
Director Jiang looked away, and the two of them exchanged a look, both wanting to laugh.
They each ordered a dish symbolically, and the waiter reported the menu, adding a few dishes arranged by Mr. Chen in advance, it must be enough to eat.
The waiter poured white wine for everyone under Jiang Dong's signal, and several people raised their glasses, only Shen Ge and Ling Jiale did not move.
"Not used to it? Do you want to change it to another wine?" Jiang Dong asked.
This Chairman Jiang didn't know what was wrong, even if he spoke in a friendly manner, people were afraid to look at him.
Shen Ge explained for Ling Jiale: "Jiang Dong, Ling Jiale's throat was injured, so he can't drink."
Jiang Dong immediately expressed his apology, saying that he hadn't thought carefully and didn't ask in advance, and asked the waiter to remove Ling Jiale's wine glass and replace it with a glass of water.
Ling Jiale and Shen Ge looked at each other, they didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.
Boss Jiang was amused: "What kind of eyes do you two have? My fourth uncle is not a big monster, he is actually very talkative, please tell him how good our movie is."
Just as Shen Ge was about to speak, Boss Jiang changed his mind: "Wait, wait, wait for one more person." While speaking, he winked at the two of them.
Shen Ge felt that his eyesight was dull at first, and there was another Boss Jiang sitting next to him, and he saw that the Boss Jiang in their Midtown was only 25 at most.
So young, already so promising.
The ordered dishes are served on the table one after another. They are all seafood, hot or cold, and there are various methods.
Chairman Jiang chatted with Boss Jiang about their own affairs, and Song Cheng concentrated on fighting the seafood shells.
Ling Jiale suddenly asked Shen Ge in a low voice: "Don't you like seafood?"
Shen Ge looked at him with some surprise, but he didn't expect him to find that he was depressed.
"No, I really like it."
Ling Jiale picked up a piece of sashimi for him with serving chopsticks and put it in his seasoning plate, "Try it, it's fresh."
Shen Ge put the piece of sashimi in his mouth, and was almost blown away by the soaring spiciness.
He pursed his mouth tightly, frowned fiercely and closed his eyes, and waited until the pungentness subsided a little before he swallowed the fish fillet with difficulty, and said to Ling Jiale with red eyes: "I, mustard, put too much."
Ling Jia was laughing madly at the tears in his eyes, but she didn't dare to make any noise, she lowered her head and shoulders and trembled.
Shen Ge picked up a tissue to wipe his tears, and also laughed, "As for you?"
Ling Jiale blushed with a smile, dipped his chopsticks in his plate curiously, and wanted to put it in his mouth.
"Hey, it's spicy." Shen Ge held his wrist.
"I'll try it, I haven't eaten mustard for a long time."
"Okay? Your throat..."
Ling Jiale thought for a while, then put down the chopsticks again, "Forget it."
"Ling Jiale?" Song Cheng, who was sitting next to Ling Jiale, heard their conversation and asked hesitantly, "Can I ask what's wrong with your voice? It's okay if you don't want to..."
He wasn't curious, he just wanted to know if Ling Jiale could still sing.
The show he participated in was a singing competition. At that time, Ling Jiale, who appeared as a judge, was a popular singing and dancing singer. See you again a few years later. Ling Jiale has become an actor, her voice is no longer as clear as before, and her personality is also cowardly. many.
"I had an operation on my vocal cords, but it wasn't particularly successful." Ling Jiale's voice sank, saying the words that had been said a thousand times.
"What surgery?" Song Cheng asked.
"……polyp."
"Why didn't it work?"
Shen Ge looked at Ling Jiale worriedly, worried that Song Cheng would hurt him.
"A friend of mine also underwent this type of operation. I have learned that this operation is not difficult. Is it a medical accident?"
Ling Jiale shook her head.
"It's not a medical accident..." Song Cheng himself is a singer, and he has a strong intuition in this regard. He showed strong regret, "Didn't you rest well after the operation?"
Ling Jiale didn't say anything, just lowered her head to hide her expression, "There is a concert, it cannot be cancelled."
The group is on the verge of disbanding, and the company will not let go of the last chance to hold a concert.
It's a tour, not just one show.
No singer will intentionally ruin his own voice.
Song Cheng thumped the table angrily, and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck it."
Shen Ge was completely stunned, he never expected such a reason.
He couldn't bear it at all, and held Ling Jiale's hand under the table, but he could hardly speak, he just called his name repeatedly, "Ling Jiale... Ling Jiale..."
After a while, Ling Jiale felt that he had adjusted his expression, and then he raised his head and found that everyone present was looking at him.
Boss Jiang asked Song Cheng, "What's wrong?"
Song Cheng explained a few words angrily.
Boss Jiang pondered for a moment, then half-jokingly said to Ling Jiale: "Come to Zhongcheng when your brokerage contract expires."
Ling Jiale was overwhelmed with surprise, but didn't dare to respond immediately: "I...I now..." He has a bad reputation now, and everyone stays far away from him, for fear of being implicated by him.
Song Cheng had obviously heard about it, and said to Boss Jiang, "I met Ling Jiale offstage, and I don't believe any of those news."
His straightforward comfort could not take into account Ling Jiale's self-esteem, but it could just give him the best comfort.
Shen Ge was extremely ashamed, he once believed in those deceitful things.
Others spoke lightly, but tried their best to testify to Ling Jiale: "Boss Jiang, Ling Jiale is a good actor, as long as he has a good director and a good script, he will be able to perform well. Director Wang always praises him, saying that he is dedicated, There is spirit."
Boss Jiang laughed, stood up and clinked glasses with Ling Jiale, "That's a deal, when will your current contract expire?"
"There are still two years."
"Okay, let Shen Ge take you to Midtown in two years' time!"
Ling Jiale glanced at Shen Ge excitedly, raised his head and drank half a glass of white water upside down.
Boss Jiang had only taken a sip of wine, but seeing him like this, he had no choice but to drink the wine in his glass in one gulp, which made everyone laugh, even the stern-faced Chairman Jiang smiled.
The door of the private room was knocked again, and the dishes had already been served. Shen Ge and Ling Jiale guessed that it might be Mr. Chen, and it should be someone from Chairman Jiang.
To their surprise again, it turned out to be a man, a very young and handsome man.
Jiang Dong immediately stood up to greet him, took his coat, and said in his mouth: "Why are you so busy today?" His tone was gentle as if he had changed.
Ling Jiale stared at Shen Ge with rounded eyes, and asked him with his mouth: "Gay?"
Shen Ge looked at Jiang Dong, then at the unusually young Mr. Chen, and nodded solemnly.
Ling Jiale was shocked, feeling suddenly surrounded by gays.
This Boss Chen is younger than Boss Jiang, but he looks much more reliable than Boss Jiang. His eyes are bright and friendly, which makes people feel good at first glance.
He was the most unassuming, and walked directly around the table to the seats of Shen Ge and Ling Jiale, shook hands with them one by one, and could call out their names as soon as he came up, "This must be Mr. Ling, right? I have been waiting for a long time—" —" "This is Mr. Shen, right? It's a pleasure to meet you—"
His words of "long admiration" and "fortunate meeting" make people feel very credible.
He introduced himself to the two: "My name is Chen Xing."
Boss Jiang seemed very happy, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The best audience is here, please tell us about our movie quickly, and try to make him cry."
Chen Xing glanced at him with a smile, and sat next to Chairman Jiang. A large piece of processed crab meat was added to the plate in front of him.
Boss Jiang drank some wine, he seemed a little bluff, and kept clamoring for Shen Ge and the others to talk about movies, but they didn't know where to start.
After Chen Xing sat down, he asked them, "I heard that both of you are leading actors?"
"Yes, two starring roles in the movie. His character is called Jiang Lu, a college student, and my character is called Zhang Song..." So we can start talking.
Boss Jiang was right. The person they were waiting for was indeed the best listener. When Shen Ge talked about the difference between Zhang Song and Jiang Lu, the young Mr. Chen had red eyes.
He calmed down and asked, "And then? Did the two meet again?"
Shen Ge shook his head: "That's the end of the script, the director didn't show us the ending, he said we can talk about it after filming, otherwise it will affect the emotions ahead."
Mr. Chen looked at Boss Jiang again: "Does Huaizhong know?"
Boss Jiang shook his head, "I don't care about that, just pay for it." As soon as the money was mentioned, he got excited and looked at Director Jiang: "Uncle Si, how is it? Is it a good story? The director is Wang Xu, you should listen to it." Have you said that?"
Mr. Chen reminded him that it was the director of the movie they watched together.
Jiang Dong showed a clear look, "It's really good."
Boss Jiang said that he cared about his money, but he didn't cheat or lie. He explained to him the sensitivity of the subject matter and the limited release, "Overseas copyrights can definitely make some money, and the possibility of winning awards is also high. At least Guaranteed not to lose money."
He also showed Jiang Dong the first promotional video released by the crew, Jiang Lu was walking alone in the green shade in the afternoon.
Song Cheng also watched it again, and praised: "I think your actors are amazing, it's like a different person, completely different!" However, just after he finished speaking, he realized that what he said was aimed at the present. Ling Jiale said it, and then said puzzled: "It doesn't seem to be... You are very similar to this video now."
Chairman Jiang asked Chen Xing: "Do you like it?"
Chen Xing hadn't gotten out of the emotion of the story, and commented quite emotionally: "It's a good story, very meaningful."
Jiang Dong turned his head and asked Shen Ge and Ling Jiale: "How much investment do you still need?"
Boss Jiang was very happy, stood up and clinked glasses with him, "Ask me about this, they don't know."
Chairman Jiang is a very efficient person, and he talked about investment with Boss Jiang at the dinner table.
Ling Jiale disturbed an investment for the film crew, and at this time brought in another investment.
He was stunned by the good news one after another, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words, and he said "yeah" to Shen Gebi under the table.
Shen Ge was no less excited than him. He looked at him with shining eyes, stretched out his hand under the table, and wrapped his two fingers gently.
"What's it like to make a movie?" Mr. Chen asked abruptly while he was talking, whether it was because he was drinking or because he couldn't hide his curiosity that made him not so steady all of a sudden.
Boss Jiang thought of something interesting, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Today they were filming a disco, Shen Ge danced like a zombie dance!"
His joke was not malicious at all, it didn't embarrass Shen Ge, he just felt embarrassed, especially Ling Jiale who was sitting next to him laughed the most exaggeratedly, and didn't give him face at all.
Chairman Jiang asked: "Is it disco?"
Song Cheng said, "Yes, it's the kind that was popular around the mid-90s."
That Mr. Chen pointed at Jiang Dong and laughed, "It's the same age as you!"
Jiang Dong's unsmiling face showed some helplessness.
Boss Jiang slapped the table and laughed loudly: "Chen Xing is really talking! My fourth uncle used to really dance disco. When he was studying in the UK, he danced and danced every night, and he danced very well!"
The young Mr. Chen stared round: "I never heard you say that!"
Song Cheng was cautious in front of Chairman Jiang, but he was obviously not really afraid of him. He didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he went to the garage to take out the guitar that was in the car.
He plucked the strings and played a melody, and Boss Jiang tapped the table with his chopsticks to "beat the drums" for him.
Ling Jiale's eyes lit up, and she shook Shen Ge's arm vigorously: "This is not the movie you showed me, what's the music in it!"
Song Cheng marveled at his good sense of music, and helped him complete the title of the movie and the title of the song: "I adapted "Pulp" and "Younevertell", can you hear it?"
Ling Jiale liked that movie clip, and shook Shen Ge's arm excitedly: "That's right, "Pulp", there is a very good swing dance in it, don't you even remember it?"
Shen Ge shook his head in confusion.
When they watched movies at that time, he was completely utilitarian, while Ling Jiale was emotional.When he sees the "useless" clips, he has to fast-forward. Sometimes Ling Jiale will stop him and watch with relish alone, while he sits by the side and frowns at the script.
Song Cheng played and sang, Boss Jiang excitedly played the rhythm for him with chopsticks, Jiang Dong had to listen to the young Mr. Chen's instigation because he was mentioned in the old "Night Night Song", stood up and performed "His That Song" for everyone. era" dance.
He can actually jump, although the movement range is very small, and there is no fast pace under his feet, but his expression is wanton and coquettish, if there is another cigar in his mouth, he looks like a male star walking down from an old movie.
Song Cheng called Ling Jiale: "Can you also dance?"
Ling Jiale had long been tickled by the cheerful music, and as soon as her name was called, she immediately stood up and wrestled with Jiang Dong.
He danced much more lively. When Jiang Dong said "slow-slow-fast", he had already kicked, stepped, and twisted more than a dozen times, and his crotch seemed to be equipped with a small motor, turning left and right like A small fan.
Jiang Dong couldn't dance with him, so he stopped dancing and snapped his fingers at Mr. Chen who was watching the excitement.
Mr. Chen stood up to join them, and stood opposite Jiang Dong, twisted in a decent way as soon as he came up, only the person opposite was in his smiling eyes, and the same was true for the person opposite.
Boss Jiang yelled loudly: "Let me tell you, this is the fastest learner I have ever seen, and there is no one who can't learn!"
Ling Jiale is on the order.
Pas de deux hates being alone.
He went to pull Shen Ge whose buttocks had been glued to the chair, "Come on, let's go together! You have to learn how to twist your hips!"
Shen Ge reluctantly was pulled by him to the open space that has become a "dance floor". It's strange whether this Jiang Dong or Mr. Chen is suddenly playing around like this, don't you feel embarrassed?
Ling Jiale pulled him and stood facing each other, with a distance of one meter between the two of them, "Look at me, I'm in front, you're back, I'm behind, you're forward, I'm leaning forward, you're back... "
He patted Shen Ge's waist, and then supported his crotch: "Don't move your waist, just move your buttocks and arms, it's very simple!"
He pointed to Shen Ge's crotch again, and compared himself, "Keep the same distance between you and me, keep your eyes on me, this is the essence of swing dancing! Provocative, reserved~"
Shen Ge suspects that Ling Jiale is speaking pornographically, but he has no evidence.
He swayed his arms and twisted his hips awkwardly following Ling Jiale. Jiang Dong and Mr. Chen next to him only had eyes for each other. Boss Jiang was lively knocking on the table and whistling. Song Cheng plucked the strings and sang cheerfully:
"This is life, saytheoldfolks, itgoestoshowyouneevertell."
Ling Jiale himself said to keep the distance unchanged, but he took his hand and twirled, rolled himself into his arms like a towel, and ran out in a twirl, using the strength of his hand to move backwards. Bow down.
Shen Ge, who was sitting on the sofa watching a movie with Ling Jiale, how could he have expected that his show would reach such a happy moment?
Shen Ge finally let go, he was drinking just now.
When Ling Jiale took the initiative to "roll" into his arms again, he was just drunk, and he used his arms to hug Ling Jiale.
Ling Jiale screamed happily, but because Shen Ge's arms and shoulders were too stable, he didn't hold back, let go of his hands, and under Shen Ge's support, he made a beautiful spread of wings in mid-air, stretched The arms are as free as the birds.
Back at the hotel at night, Ling Jiale was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep, she lay down on the bed and sent a message to Shen Ge: "I haven't been this happy for a long time."
Shen Ge slept at his own home at night, and he replied quickly: "Me too."
Ling Jiale said again: "They are all gay, why are there so many gays?"
Shen Ge didn't know how to reply, holding his mobile phone to organize his words.
Fortunately, Ling Jiale doesn't need his reply, he just needs to "listen".
"I think I know how to film the later scenes."
"The assistant director said that the two of them should be relaxed and happy at this time, but I don't quite understand."
"I've been in love twice before, both of which were like underground love. It was difficult to meet, and I was in a hurry when I met. It was not easy at all. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be happy."
"I just found out today that it turns out that this is what being relaxed and happy is like."
Shen Ge put the cell phone that had been dark for a long time on his chest, looked at the pitch-black roof with his eyes open, thinking that this Ling Jia Le was really too bad, he only said that he only found out today, but didn't tell him how he knew it.
Did he find out after watching Chairman Jiang and Mr. Chen, Boss Jiang and Song Cheng, or... after dancing with him...
For example, that may not have been Ling Jiale's own choice.
As he has seen after getting to know Ling Jiale, the reason why Ling Jiale is very willful in many small things is because he has never been able to make decisions for himself in major matters.
Shen Ge's heart was smashed instantly, he would rather that when Ling Jiale appeared in that video, it was voluntary.
Boss Jiang said: "Seafood allergy? Oh, sorry, how about... we eat Western food? Order what you like."
Shen Ge clenched his fists and refused for Ling Jiale: "I'm sorry, Boss Jiang, Ling Jiale is not feeling well today, so I can't go."
He thought he could speak more tactfully on behalf of Ling Jiale, but how much politeness can a young man put on under such grief and indignation?
Boss Jiang saw through his hostility at a glance, his amiability faded away, and he sneered instead: "You're so arrogant, so hard to please?"
Song Cheng elbowed him to smooth things over: "Forget it, forget it, Ling Jiale is not feeling well, let's go to another day." He said goodbye to Ling Jiale again, and pulled the annoyed Boss Jiang left.
Shen Ge dragged Ling Jiale back to the set, he wanted to settle accounts with the assistant director!
"It's all from the same crew, so why not film well? Why do you keep doing those things! Director Wang is not here, shouldn't you, as a temporary director, protect his actors for Director Wang?"
The assistant director was dumbfounded by his words, "What's the matter? You're yelling! Where's our boss Jiang?"
Ling Jiale seemed to wake up from a nightmare, only then did he realize that Shen Ge had once again stood up for himself, he bit his lip hard, and looked at Shen Ge with indescribable eyes for a moment.
Shen Ge embraced his shoulders, comforted him sadly and restrainedly: "It's okay, I'm not afraid of offending them, I don't expect anything from such a dirty company!"
dirty?The assistant director wondered, he was always very satisfied with Midtown, how could such a good company be dirty?
The assistant director looked at the angry Shen Ge, and then at Ling Jiale, who was about to cry. A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he clenched his fist and smashed it into the other hand, "Where are you guys going?" Our Boss Jiang is not that kind of person!"
He hurriedly chased him out, and after a while, Boss Jiang and Song Cheng left and returned.
Boss Jiang pointed at the two of them and scolded dumbfoundedly: "You guys, why are you thinking so dirty!"
Shen Ge and Ling Jiale looked at each other, they couldn't believe it, especially Ling Jiale, who couldn't hide what was on his mind at all, looked back and forth between Boss Jiang and Song Cheng, and almost wrote "Nurture" on his face. word.
Only then did Song Cheng understand what was going on, and burst into a loud laugh, patting Boss Jiang's chest until he couldn't breathe: "Although it doesn't look like much, this is indeed a good person, a good person who is just like a fake !"
The weird and tense atmosphere was broken up by his laughter, and Ling Jiale couldn't help laughing, with inexplicable enthusiasm in his eyes.
Like Jiang Lu buried his face on Zhang Song's shoulder, he buried his face on Shen Ge's arm, and secretly wiped away the tears that were about to overflow with his sleeve.
It seems that since he took over the drama "Sweat Through Shirt", he has been meeting good people.
He seems to have really turned his luck.
Boss Jiang drove the car himself. Among the four, only Song Cheng and Ling Jiale were friends. Sitting in the back, Shen Ge had to sit in the co-pilot.
Song Cheng once again expressed his gratitude for Ling Jiale's rescue of him in a talent show, but obviously, no matter how he described it in detail, Ling Jiale still had no impression.
It wasn't until Song Cheng mentioned that he had offended other judges in order to speak for himself, that Ling Jiale suddenly realized: "No wonder I met her in a variety show later, and I always felt that there was something in her words, as if she didn't like me."
Song Cheng has never been famous, and in that talent show, he only appeared as a "student" of the judges.But the one Ling Jiale offended for him was a big name, even someone like Shen Ge who doesn't follow stars has heard of her name.
Ling Jiale has always responded to Song Cheng's thanks with the words "it's easy to do", Shen Ge couldn't help but think that helping people is easy for him, and offending people is no different.
Boss Jiang, who was driving, looked back at them and said with a smile, "Ling Jiale is not suitable for this job. It's nothing else. I'm just complimenting you."
He is the big boss of an entertainment company, and he is not a delicate person himself. He has no taboos when speaking, but Ling Jiale feels bitter because of this.
Song Cheng hurriedly changed the subject: "Then what are we having for dinner?"
Boss Jiang pointed the steering wheel with his fingers, and said to himself: "If you are allergic to seafood—the daily food will not work..."
Ling Jiale said shyly: "Actually, I'm not allergic to seafood, I quite like seafood..."
The other three people in the car couldn't help laughing again.
Boss Jiang took them to a big hotel.
Ling Jiale said, "Tan Que has changed."
Boss Jiang couldn't help asking: "Have you been here before?"
"I often came here when I was a child. My mother said that my [-]-day banquet was held here, but it should be downstairs."
Boss Jiang said: "Oh, maybe it's in the cafeteria. In the past, banquets could be reserved there."
Ling Jiale smiled and said: "Yes, it should be the cafeteria. I can't remember it. I just remember that there was a chocolate waterfall. I liked it very much when I was a child. There is also a lobby, which is very spacious and has many coconut trees."
Boss Jiang corrected him with a smile: "Is it a palm tree? There are still some."
"Ah? Really? I can't tell."
Song Cheng smiled and asked, "Is Ling Jiale a local?"
Ling Jiale nodded, and Song Cheng asked Shen Ge again: "Where is Shen Ge?"
"I'm from province X."
Song Cheng was surprised and said, "Your Mandarin is really good. The people I know in province X can't distinguish front and back nasal sounds."
Boss Jiang snorted, "He's an actor, so of course he can't have an accent."
Shen Ge smiled, didn't say anything, just looked around the magnificent hotel again.
The waiter brought them to a spacious private room. A beautiful sashimi boat was placed in the center of the round table. The brightly colored ingredients were spread on the crushed ice, and the air was steaming.
"Chen Xiaoxing is considerate in everything he does. He even opened the wine for us." Boss Jiang asked the waiter, "When will you, Mr. Chen, come over?"
Just as he was asking, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and then a handsome and tall middle-aged man came in. He was also in a suit and leather shoes. He also looked somewhat similar to Boss Jiang in appearance, but he was older and more serious.
Boss Jiang immediately shouted: "Fourth Uncle!"
Song Cheng also greeted him, looking a bit cautious: "Hello, Chairman Jiang."
Not the young and potbellied appearance they had expected.
This Jiang Donglue nodded and walked towards them. He took big steps and was very imposing. He shook hands with Song Cheng first, then glanced at Shen Ge and Ling Jiale, and then asked Boss Jiang: "Why?" Do not invite guests to sit down?"
Boss Jiang immediately looked like a junior, he hurriedly asked Shen Ge and Ling Jiale to sit down, and even specially let out the "supreme seat" facing the door, so that Chairman Jiang could sit there.
Jiang Dong waved his hands indifferently, found a seat nearby, and while sitting down, unbuttoned two suit buttons with one hand, keeping his back straight.
Shen Ge and Ling Jiale immediately understood Song Cheng's restraint, and their sitting postures couldn't help but become more correct.
Boss Jiang introduced the two to Chairman Jiang, "This is Ling Jiale, a big star with a lot of fans; this is Shen Ge, a newly signed actor in Midtown. What do you think, Uncle Si? Is he handsome? I Don't you have good eyesight?"
Chairman Jiang ignored him, stood up and shook hands with Shen Ge and Ling Jiale one by one, saying "Long admiration" and "Nice to meet you".
Although he is still serious when exchanging greetings with others, and he is very clear that his "long admiration" and "fortunate meeting" are 100% polite, but it is this politeness and respect that people can't fault.
"Have you ordered?" Jiang Dong asked Boss Jiang.
Boss Jiang said: "I don't know, I asked Chen Xiaoxing to arrange it."
Chairman Jiang glanced at the waiter, who immediately brought two menus and put them in front of Shen Ge and Ling Jiale.
Chairman Jiang asked them to order, and looked at them. The two of them flipped through the menu under his gaze, feeling like they were sitting on pins and needles.
Director Jiang looked away, and the two of them exchanged a look, both wanting to laugh.
They each ordered a dish symbolically, and the waiter reported the menu, adding a few dishes arranged by Mr. Chen in advance, it must be enough to eat.
The waiter poured white wine for everyone under Jiang Dong's signal, and several people raised their glasses, only Shen Ge and Ling Jiale did not move.
"Not used to it? Do you want to change it to another wine?" Jiang Dong asked.
This Chairman Jiang didn't know what was wrong, even if he spoke in a friendly manner, people were afraid to look at him.
Shen Ge explained for Ling Jiale: "Jiang Dong, Ling Jiale's throat was injured, so he can't drink."
Jiang Dong immediately expressed his apology, saying that he hadn't thought carefully and didn't ask in advance, and asked the waiter to remove Ling Jiale's wine glass and replace it with a glass of water.
Ling Jiale and Shen Ge looked at each other, they didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to.
Boss Jiang was amused: "What kind of eyes do you two have? My fourth uncle is not a big monster, he is actually very talkative, please tell him how good our movie is."
Just as Shen Ge was about to speak, Boss Jiang changed his mind: "Wait, wait, wait for one more person." While speaking, he winked at the two of them.
Shen Ge felt that his eyesight was dull at first, and there was another Boss Jiang sitting next to him, and he saw that the Boss Jiang in their Midtown was only 25 at most.
So young, already so promising.
The ordered dishes are served on the table one after another. They are all seafood, hot or cold, and there are various methods.
Chairman Jiang chatted with Boss Jiang about their own affairs, and Song Cheng concentrated on fighting the seafood shells.
Ling Jiale suddenly asked Shen Ge in a low voice: "Don't you like seafood?"
Shen Ge looked at him with some surprise, but he didn't expect him to find that he was depressed.
"No, I really like it."
Ling Jiale picked up a piece of sashimi for him with serving chopsticks and put it in his seasoning plate, "Try it, it's fresh."
Shen Ge put the piece of sashimi in his mouth, and was almost blown away by the soaring spiciness.
He pursed his mouth tightly, frowned fiercely and closed his eyes, and waited until the pungentness subsided a little before he swallowed the fish fillet with difficulty, and said to Ling Jiale with red eyes: "I, mustard, put too much."
Ling Jia was laughing madly at the tears in his eyes, but she didn't dare to make any noise, she lowered her head and shoulders and trembled.
Shen Ge picked up a tissue to wipe his tears, and also laughed, "As for you?"
Ling Jiale blushed with a smile, dipped his chopsticks in his plate curiously, and wanted to put it in his mouth.
"Hey, it's spicy." Shen Ge held his wrist.
"I'll try it, I haven't eaten mustard for a long time."
"Okay? Your throat..."
Ling Jiale thought for a while, then put down the chopsticks again, "Forget it."
"Ling Jiale?" Song Cheng, who was sitting next to Ling Jiale, heard their conversation and asked hesitantly, "Can I ask what's wrong with your voice? It's okay if you don't want to..."
He wasn't curious, he just wanted to know if Ling Jiale could still sing.
The show he participated in was a singing competition. At that time, Ling Jiale, who appeared as a judge, was a popular singing and dancing singer. See you again a few years later. Ling Jiale has become an actor, her voice is no longer as clear as before, and her personality is also cowardly. many.
"I had an operation on my vocal cords, but it wasn't particularly successful." Ling Jiale's voice sank, saying the words that had been said a thousand times.
"What surgery?" Song Cheng asked.
"……polyp."
"Why didn't it work?"
Shen Ge looked at Ling Jiale worriedly, worried that Song Cheng would hurt him.
"A friend of mine also underwent this type of operation. I have learned that this operation is not difficult. Is it a medical accident?"
Ling Jiale shook her head.
"It's not a medical accident..." Song Cheng himself is a singer, and he has a strong intuition in this regard. He showed strong regret, "Didn't you rest well after the operation?"
Ling Jiale didn't say anything, just lowered her head to hide her expression, "There is a concert, it cannot be cancelled."
The group is on the verge of disbanding, and the company will not let go of the last chance to hold a concert.
It's a tour, not just one show.
No singer will intentionally ruin his own voice.
Song Cheng thumped the table angrily, and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck it."
Shen Ge was completely stunned, he never expected such a reason.
He couldn't bear it at all, and held Ling Jiale's hand under the table, but he could hardly speak, he just called his name repeatedly, "Ling Jiale... Ling Jiale..."
After a while, Ling Jiale felt that he had adjusted his expression, and then he raised his head and found that everyone present was looking at him.
Boss Jiang asked Song Cheng, "What's wrong?"
Song Cheng explained a few words angrily.
Boss Jiang pondered for a moment, then half-jokingly said to Ling Jiale: "Come to Zhongcheng when your brokerage contract expires."
Ling Jiale was overwhelmed with surprise, but didn't dare to respond immediately: "I...I now..." He has a bad reputation now, and everyone stays far away from him, for fear of being implicated by him.
Song Cheng had obviously heard about it, and said to Boss Jiang, "I met Ling Jiale offstage, and I don't believe any of those news."
His straightforward comfort could not take into account Ling Jiale's self-esteem, but it could just give him the best comfort.
Shen Ge was extremely ashamed, he once believed in those deceitful things.
Others spoke lightly, but tried their best to testify to Ling Jiale: "Boss Jiang, Ling Jiale is a good actor, as long as he has a good director and a good script, he will be able to perform well. Director Wang always praises him, saying that he is dedicated, There is spirit."
Boss Jiang laughed, stood up and clinked glasses with Ling Jiale, "That's a deal, when will your current contract expire?"
"There are still two years."
"Okay, let Shen Ge take you to Midtown in two years' time!"
Ling Jiale glanced at Shen Ge excitedly, raised his head and drank half a glass of white water upside down.
Boss Jiang had only taken a sip of wine, but seeing him like this, he had no choice but to drink the wine in his glass in one gulp, which made everyone laugh, even the stern-faced Chairman Jiang smiled.
The door of the private room was knocked again, and the dishes had already been served. Shen Ge and Ling Jiale guessed that it might be Mr. Chen, and it should be someone from Chairman Jiang.
To their surprise again, it turned out to be a man, a very young and handsome man.
Jiang Dong immediately stood up to greet him, took his coat, and said in his mouth: "Why are you so busy today?" His tone was gentle as if he had changed.
Ling Jiale stared at Shen Ge with rounded eyes, and asked him with his mouth: "Gay?"
Shen Ge looked at Jiang Dong, then at the unusually young Mr. Chen, and nodded solemnly.
Ling Jiale was shocked, feeling suddenly surrounded by gays.
This Boss Chen is younger than Boss Jiang, but he looks much more reliable than Boss Jiang. His eyes are bright and friendly, which makes people feel good at first glance.
He was the most unassuming, and walked directly around the table to the seats of Shen Ge and Ling Jiale, shook hands with them one by one, and could call out their names as soon as he came up, "This must be Mr. Ling, right? I have been waiting for a long time—" —" "This is Mr. Shen, right? It's a pleasure to meet you—"
His words of "long admiration" and "fortunate meeting" make people feel very credible.
He introduced himself to the two: "My name is Chen Xing."
Boss Jiang seemed very happy, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The best audience is here, please tell us about our movie quickly, and try to make him cry."
Chen Xing glanced at him with a smile, and sat next to Chairman Jiang. A large piece of processed crab meat was added to the plate in front of him.
Boss Jiang drank some wine, he seemed a little bluff, and kept clamoring for Shen Ge and the others to talk about movies, but they didn't know where to start.
After Chen Xing sat down, he asked them, "I heard that both of you are leading actors?"
"Yes, two starring roles in the movie. His character is called Jiang Lu, a college student, and my character is called Zhang Song..." So we can start talking.
Boss Jiang was right. The person they were waiting for was indeed the best listener. When Shen Ge talked about the difference between Zhang Song and Jiang Lu, the young Mr. Chen had red eyes.
He calmed down and asked, "And then? Did the two meet again?"
Shen Ge shook his head: "That's the end of the script, the director didn't show us the ending, he said we can talk about it after filming, otherwise it will affect the emotions ahead."
Mr. Chen looked at Boss Jiang again: "Does Huaizhong know?"
Boss Jiang shook his head, "I don't care about that, just pay for it." As soon as the money was mentioned, he got excited and looked at Director Jiang: "Uncle Si, how is it? Is it a good story? The director is Wang Xu, you should listen to it." Have you said that?"
Mr. Chen reminded him that it was the director of the movie they watched together.
Jiang Dong showed a clear look, "It's really good."
Boss Jiang said that he cared about his money, but he didn't cheat or lie. He explained to him the sensitivity of the subject matter and the limited release, "Overseas copyrights can definitely make some money, and the possibility of winning awards is also high. At least Guaranteed not to lose money."
He also showed Jiang Dong the first promotional video released by the crew, Jiang Lu was walking alone in the green shade in the afternoon.
Song Cheng also watched it again, and praised: "I think your actors are amazing, it's like a different person, completely different!" However, just after he finished speaking, he realized that what he said was aimed at the present. Ling Jiale said it, and then said puzzled: "It doesn't seem to be... You are very similar to this video now."
Chairman Jiang asked Chen Xing: "Do you like it?"
Chen Xing hadn't gotten out of the emotion of the story, and commented quite emotionally: "It's a good story, very meaningful."
Jiang Dong turned his head and asked Shen Ge and Ling Jiale: "How much investment do you still need?"
Boss Jiang was very happy, stood up and clinked glasses with him, "Ask me about this, they don't know."
Chairman Jiang is a very efficient person, and he talked about investment with Boss Jiang at the dinner table.
Ling Jiale disturbed an investment for the film crew, and at this time brought in another investment.
He was stunned by the good news one after another, and the excitement in his heart was beyond words, and he said "yeah" to Shen Gebi under the table.
Shen Ge was no less excited than him. He looked at him with shining eyes, stretched out his hand under the table, and wrapped his two fingers gently.
"What's it like to make a movie?" Mr. Chen asked abruptly while he was talking, whether it was because he was drinking or because he couldn't hide his curiosity that made him not so steady all of a sudden.
Boss Jiang thought of something interesting, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Today they were filming a disco, Shen Ge danced like a zombie dance!"
His joke was not malicious at all, it didn't embarrass Shen Ge, he just felt embarrassed, especially Ling Jiale who was sitting next to him laughed the most exaggeratedly, and didn't give him face at all.
Chairman Jiang asked: "Is it disco?"
Song Cheng said, "Yes, it's the kind that was popular around the mid-90s."
That Mr. Chen pointed at Jiang Dong and laughed, "It's the same age as you!"
Jiang Dong's unsmiling face showed some helplessness.
Boss Jiang slapped the table and laughed loudly: "Chen Xing is really talking! My fourth uncle used to really dance disco. When he was studying in the UK, he danced and danced every night, and he danced very well!"
The young Mr. Chen stared round: "I never heard you say that!"
Song Cheng was cautious in front of Chairman Jiang, but he was obviously not really afraid of him. He didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, so he went to the garage to take out the guitar that was in the car.
He plucked the strings and played a melody, and Boss Jiang tapped the table with his chopsticks to "beat the drums" for him.
Ling Jiale's eyes lit up, and she shook Shen Ge's arm vigorously: "This is not the movie you showed me, what's the music in it!"
Song Cheng marveled at his good sense of music, and helped him complete the title of the movie and the title of the song: "I adapted "Pulp" and "Younevertell", can you hear it?"
Ling Jiale liked that movie clip, and shook Shen Ge's arm excitedly: "That's right, "Pulp", there is a very good swing dance in it, don't you even remember it?"
Shen Ge shook his head in confusion.
When they watched movies at that time, he was completely utilitarian, while Ling Jiale was emotional.When he sees the "useless" clips, he has to fast-forward. Sometimes Ling Jiale will stop him and watch with relish alone, while he sits by the side and frowns at the script.
Song Cheng played and sang, Boss Jiang excitedly played the rhythm for him with chopsticks, Jiang Dong had to listen to the young Mr. Chen's instigation because he was mentioned in the old "Night Night Song", stood up and performed "His That Song" for everyone. era" dance.
He can actually jump, although the movement range is very small, and there is no fast pace under his feet, but his expression is wanton and coquettish, if there is another cigar in his mouth, he looks like a male star walking down from an old movie.
Song Cheng called Ling Jiale: "Can you also dance?"
Ling Jiale had long been tickled by the cheerful music, and as soon as her name was called, she immediately stood up and wrestled with Jiang Dong.
He danced much more lively. When Jiang Dong said "slow-slow-fast", he had already kicked, stepped, and twisted more than a dozen times, and his crotch seemed to be equipped with a small motor, turning left and right like A small fan.
Jiang Dong couldn't dance with him, so he stopped dancing and snapped his fingers at Mr. Chen who was watching the excitement.
Mr. Chen stood up to join them, and stood opposite Jiang Dong, twisted in a decent way as soon as he came up, only the person opposite was in his smiling eyes, and the same was true for the person opposite.
Boss Jiang yelled loudly: "Let me tell you, this is the fastest learner I have ever seen, and there is no one who can't learn!"
Ling Jiale is on the order.
Pas de deux hates being alone.
He went to pull Shen Ge whose buttocks had been glued to the chair, "Come on, let's go together! You have to learn how to twist your hips!"
Shen Ge reluctantly was pulled by him to the open space that has become a "dance floor". It's strange whether this Jiang Dong or Mr. Chen is suddenly playing around like this, don't you feel embarrassed?
Ling Jiale pulled him and stood facing each other, with a distance of one meter between the two of them, "Look at me, I'm in front, you're back, I'm behind, you're forward, I'm leaning forward, you're back... "
He patted Shen Ge's waist, and then supported his crotch: "Don't move your waist, just move your buttocks and arms, it's very simple!"
He pointed to Shen Ge's crotch again, and compared himself, "Keep the same distance between you and me, keep your eyes on me, this is the essence of swing dancing! Provocative, reserved~"
Shen Ge suspects that Ling Jiale is speaking pornographically, but he has no evidence.
He swayed his arms and twisted his hips awkwardly following Ling Jiale. Jiang Dong and Mr. Chen next to him only had eyes for each other. Boss Jiang was lively knocking on the table and whistling. Song Cheng plucked the strings and sang cheerfully:
"This is life, saytheoldfolks, itgoestoshowyouneevertell."
Ling Jiale himself said to keep the distance unchanged, but he took his hand and twirled, rolled himself into his arms like a towel, and ran out in a twirl, using the strength of his hand to move backwards. Bow down.
Shen Ge, who was sitting on the sofa watching a movie with Ling Jiale, how could he have expected that his show would reach such a happy moment?
Shen Ge finally let go, he was drinking just now.
When Ling Jiale took the initiative to "roll" into his arms again, he was just drunk, and he used his arms to hug Ling Jiale.
Ling Jiale screamed happily, but because Shen Ge's arms and shoulders were too stable, he didn't hold back, let go of his hands, and under Shen Ge's support, he made a beautiful spread of wings in mid-air, stretched The arms are as free as the birds.
Back at the hotel at night, Ling Jiale was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep, she lay down on the bed and sent a message to Shen Ge: "I haven't been this happy for a long time."
Shen Ge slept at his own home at night, and he replied quickly: "Me too."
Ling Jiale said again: "They are all gay, why are there so many gays?"
Shen Ge didn't know how to reply, holding his mobile phone to organize his words.
Fortunately, Ling Jiale doesn't need his reply, he just needs to "listen".
"I think I know how to film the later scenes."
"The assistant director said that the two of them should be relaxed and happy at this time, but I don't quite understand."
"I've been in love twice before, both of which were like underground love. It was difficult to meet, and I was in a hurry when I met. It was not easy at all. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem to be happy."
"I just found out today that it turns out that this is what being relaxed and happy is like."
Shen Ge put the cell phone that had been dark for a long time on his chest, looked at the pitch-black roof with his eyes open, thinking that this Ling Jia Le was really too bad, he only said that he only found out today, but didn't tell him how he knew it.
Did he find out after watching Chairman Jiang and Mr. Chen, Boss Jiang and Song Cheng, or... after dancing with him...
