284 Chapter 284-audition
Jiang se noticed the frown on PEI Yi’s face. Xu Wuji was still asking her politely. Other than the press conference for the endorsement, this was her second time meeting the boss of Hong Kong Hua. Right now, he appeared humble and warm in front of PEI Yi.
“You’ve lost weight.”
PEI Yi was very certain. He reached out and wrapped his arms around her wrist in an intimate manner, as if no one was around.
She had not lost much weight, and it was hard to tell with the naked eye. However, the data would not lie. He was a little unhappy. Beside him, Xu Wuji pretended to look at the information on the diamonds in his hands. Jiang se leaned closer to PEI Yi and explained in a low voice that she had intentionally lost a few pounds for the new show. She did not tell him before because she was afraid that he would be worried. She assured him, ”
after filming ‘the demon’, I’ll go back to my health. Sister Chaoqun has found a nutritionist for me. Besides, my plan to lose weight is mainly to exercise, so I won’t hurt my body too much. I know what I’m doing.
She even hugged PEI Yi’s arm and acted coquettishly because she was in the wrong.
She rarely showed this cute side of her in front of PEI Yi, but she knew that PEI Yi could not do anything to her.
Because she had promised to regain her weight as soon as possible, and because of the endorsement contract, the ring’s size was still the same as before.
Currently, there were no diamonds in Hong Kong that PEI Yi liked. Xu Zhou Ji promised to take note of them as soon as possible. Once there were suitable ones, he would personally send them to the imperial capital for the two of them to choose from.
The Spring Festival holiday was over. When PEI Yi returned to school, Jiang se officially started her diet. She applied for a month’s leave from school. With the screening of ” autumn Begonia ” in the Grand Theater, she had learned most of the things she needed to learn. Other than exercising every day to lose weight, she would lock herself up at home to watch the crime movies that mo Anqi had collected. She would observe the tone and expressions of the seniors in the movies when they performed. Sometimes, she would also try to record her own performance and make some adjustments.
By the middle of March, Jiang se had already lost 11 pounds. It was only then that she gave Zhao rang a call to meet Liu Ye.
Zhao rang’s voice sounded a little helpless over the phone. Liu Ye was a busy man these days. After he won the Best Actor award at two film festivals with his superb acting skills, not only did Liu Ye’s position in the country become more stable, but he also entered the eyes of the International public following the popularity of ” rescue mission ” overseas.
Now, in addition to several domestic producers interested in investing in Liu Ye’s films, several well-known foreign companies had also extended olive branches to Liu Ye.
Back then, when Liu Ye had yet to win the second award, Zhao rang had tried his best to persuade Liu Ye to take on the role of Luo Shen in ” the demon “. Now that he had both fame and fortune, Zhao rang was not confident that Liu Ye would agree to take on this script when he had a wider selection of roles.
I heard that several production companies in the United States are in contact with him. Sigh, you can try.
Zhao rang looked a little dejected. demon ” was a rare script. Over the years in the industry, he had made a name for himself and won a few big and small awards in the country. The movies he had filmed were also considered well-received.
When people thought of him, they only remembered that he was a ‘famous’ director who had acted in many movies. However, none of his works could be considered as his representative work.
Zhao rang also had his own ambitions. He wanted to leave a mark in the history of film.
I’ve contacted yang Boxi a few times, but he dismissed me with a few words. Sese, if you want to meet Liu Ye, you might have to go through Xia Chaoqun.
She had a private relationship with Liu Ye. If she were to step in, Liu Ye would give Jiang se the chance to meet him.
Xia Chaoqun’s response came very quickly. Jiang se had just told her about this not too long ago. About fifteen minutes later, she called back.
“Sese, Liu Ye has agreed to meet you and Zhao rang at two O ‘clock in the afternoon tomorrow at his studio. The meeting will last for half an hour, and I’ll come and pick you up. He only agreed to meet, but he didn’t agree to shoot ‘demon’. If you want to convince him, you’ll have to rely on your own abilities.”
She had only managed to get Jiang se a chance to convince Liu Ye. Jiang se would have to rely on herself for the rest.
When Xia Chaoqun came to pick Jiang se up, she had changed into a black office dress. Her long hair hung loosely behind her head. She did not put on any makeup. Instead, she had a bare face. In the past, whenever Xia Chaoqun saw her, she would always appear unusually presentable. She cherished and cared for him very much. She would always spare no effort to show that she valued him in small details. This was the first time Xia Chaoqun had seen Jiang se so nonchalant.
Along the way, Xia Chaoqun briefly explained Liu Ye’s personality and preferences as well as the movies he had acted in since he started acting. Jiang se had actually memorized all this information by heart. However, when Xia Chaoqun mentioned it again, Jiang se still compared it with her own memory to make sure that she had not missed out anything.
The meeting between the two of them was supposed to be a secret, but they were both well-known now, and their every move was under the watchful eyes of the reporters. To prevent unnecessary trouble, Liu Ye set the meeting location at the studio.
When Jiang se arrived, according to the staff at Liu Ye’s studio, Zhao rang had arrived ten minutes ago. Liu Ye had already met him in the meeting room six minutes ago.
The staff member sized Xia Chaoqun up and then sneaked a glance at Jiang se. She was calmly tying up her hair. Her skin was as fair as snow. Due to her emaciated body, the green veins on the back of her hands and wrists could be seen. They were like snakes that were crawling on her hands, forehead, and neck. She looked emaciated.
“Mr. Liu has already informed us that once Madam Xia arrives, he will bring you and miss Jiang to the guest room.”
The reception staff kept looking at Jiang se because she had become very famous recently. Her beauty, temperament, and style had been spread around because of her role in “events of Beiping. the posters and films she had shot for Hong Kong Hua back then had also amazed many people. However, she was now so thin that it was as if she was only left with a skeleton.
She was trying to guess the reason why Xia Chaoqun and Jiang se had gone to Liu Ye’s studio. She was also wondering if the recently popular miss Jiang had encountered some setbacks, causing her to suddenly lose weight. It was hard to associate her with her previous beautiful image.
Jiang se did not care about other people’s opinions. In reality, ever since Zhao rang mentioned that Liu Ye had some reservations about taking on the role of “demon” and that his misgivings might be due to the fact that he was acting with her, she had treated her meeting with Liu Ye as a test for her at the audition.
Xia Chaoqun had made it very clear that this was the only chance to succeed.
Since she was ready to take on the script for “demon,” Jiang se had already put in so much effort. No matter what, she had to make sure that the other male lead in the series was the best. Like Zhao rang, she would not accept the second-best option.
