The pay was the most direct way to show a celebrity’s status in the industry.
Jiang SE’s pay for the movie had increased to 30 million. This was a form of acknowledgment from the industry. She was now on the list of A-list female celebrities. However, she was not pleased with the increase in her pay. On the contrary, she heaved a sigh of relief because her debt had been reduced. Xia Chaoqun did not know whether to laugh or cry. Even Zhao rang, who was at the scene of the contract signing, laughed.
Once the 30 million was transferred into his account, even if the company took a 60% share, there would still be a lot of money left after paying taxes and paying off the debts.
Ever since she had entered this industry and signed with century Galaxy, this was Jiang SE’s first film that had truly earned her money. It was not like her finances were always in the negative.
Once the investment for the movie was in place, Zhao rang and century Galaxy would have to prepare to form a crew. demon ” was already in the process of adaptation. Zhao rang was also involved in the script adaptation because he was particularly interested in this movie. Once it was submitted for approval, the script for the rest of the actors and split shots would be confirmed, and the shooting time would be set very soon.
Jiang se did not care much about these things. She only knew that around the middle of April, she had heard that the crew had been formed. The script review had also passed very quickly due to the investor and the qiuji brothers. With sufficient funds and smooth progress, they should be able to start shooting in June.
Although the production team kept a low profile about this, it was inevitable that some news would leak.
When the news of Jiang SE’s upcoming collaboration with Liu Ye to shoot a new movie spread online, many people went crazy.
Most people were skeptical about this matter. Many people went to Liu Ye’s social accounts, his studio’s accounts, and yang Boxi’s accounts to leave comments, asking if this matter was true or not.
The media industry was also in a terrible fix.
There had been rumors in the circle about Liu Ye and Jiang SE’s intention to work together. It was said that Zhao rang had been in frequent contact with Liu Ye since the beginning of last year. However, Liu Ye did not reveal anything at that time.
When he was interviewed by the media at the film festival, he did not mention this in his work plan.
Although the previous rumors had been very intense, to everyone, it was very likely a publicity stunt by Xia Chaoqun and Liu Ye. They had the intention of promoting Jiang se to the top.
This was one of the most common methods in the industry. Using celebrities with high popularity and status to help newcomers gain popularity and raise their status, so as to increase their value when they took on roles in the future.
No one had expected Liu Ye to really agree to work with Jiang se!
If he claimed to be the second best Male star in China in recent years, no one would dare to claim to be the best. He had many fans and was very influential. He was an actor who spoke based on his work. He had won the Best Male Lead Award twice in a row at the film festival. Compared to Jiang se, he was many levels higher.
In comparison, although Jiang se had previously won the Best Supporting Female lead Award at the film festival and had performed well in ” events of Beiping, ” she had not produced many films before this. Most of the films she had acted in were either pretty faces or extras. How could a newbie like her work with Liu Ye?
The public was eager to know the truth, and the major media also wanted to get first-hand news to find out if this matter was true or false.
However, it seemed that the crew wanted to keep a low profile. When the media called yang Boxi’s cell phone to interview Liu Ye, they found that yang Boxi had turned off his cell phone long ago, as he had anticipated such a situation.
Xia Chaoqun had no intention of explaining himself.
At the same time, this incident blew up on the internet. A group of people began to attack Jiang se for using the Best Actor as a means of hype. There were also rumors that Jiang se had used century Galaxy and her backer to force Liu Ye to participate in the production of the new film in order to promote her.
When the news of Liu Ye and Jiang SE’s movie collaboration was released, it caused a huge commotion. Within a short period of time, not only on Weibo, but also on Twitter and other major social media sites, this matter was reposted and discussed by many people. It instantly became the hottest topic on the internet. Even the headlines of the major news portals on that day had changed to the news of Liu Ye and Jiang SE’s movie collaboration.
At this moment, when the news of ‘Jiang se threatening Liu Ye to shoot a movie to elevate her status’ was released, it was reposted by a large number of netizens who did not know the truth. Naturally, it attracted even more attention.
There were even different versions of the rumor, such as ‘Jiang se had a lecherous background’ and ‘Liu Ye was forced to agree to work with a newcomer to protect his career’. Within a day, these accounts appeared and caused a huge commotion. Many of Liu Ye’s fans could no longer sit still.
On forums, news, and social media, many netizens were looking for the truth.
On Weibo, the number of comments left on Liu Ye’s account had reached nearly 200000 in just half a day.
Jasmine blooming: I’ve liked brother ye for many years. I’ve been paying attention to him since the time he filmed ” Jing Ke. I know that it wasn’t easy for him to get to where he is today. He put in a lot of effort for every film to get to where he is today. I can’t bear to see brother ye getting involved in this Whirlpool. I hope that someone can come out and explain the truth of the matter. If brother ye is being threatened, at least we will be supporting him from behind.
Assassin Jing Ke: there were some rumors about this in the industry before, but we thought it was just a rumor. After all, brother ye’s intention to enter Europe and the United States after working with director Zhang after filming ‘rescue mission’ is very obvious. From what I know, a few well-known production companies in Europe and the United States have been in contact with brother ye. This has always been brother ye’s dream, so I don’t think he’ll miss it. Now, there’s suddenly news that he’s going to co-produce a movie with Jiang se. Forgive me for being blunt, but the rumors on the internet may not be entirely true. But I think there’s something strange about this.
The ID ‘assassin Jing Ke’ was obviously related to the entertainment industry, and his words had leaked some news.
His words made Liu Ye’s fans extremely uneasy. Some of them could not help but start scolding Jiang se.
[ ping Zi: I watched ” events of Beiping ” earlier. I had a good impression of Jiang se, but it’s gone all of a sudden. Does she think that she can do whatever she wants just because she has a strong background? ]
[ there’s no Bodhi tree to begin with: I hope this is not true. I’ve read the two reviews Mr. Shupeien wrote for Jiang se. I hope Jiang se won’t let him down. I hope she can focus on improving her acting skills and acting in good movies instead of relying on unrated rumors to gain attention and popularity. ]
……
Jiang SE’s various social media accounts were occupied by Liu Ye’s fans and people who did not know what was going on. Most of them expressed their dissatisfaction with the rumors, while some hoped that Jiang se would take a stand. Many people were cursing and using all sorts of vulgarities. Mo Anqi scrolled through the comments for a while and was so angry that her face turned red.
