Chapter 327
327 An opportunity
The two companies that Xia Chaoqun had mentioned were the top film and entertainment production companies in Europe and the United States. They had invested in and produced many classic films.
Jiang se quickly realized why Xia Chaoqun had brought this up. He was reminding her that once it was confirmed that these two companies were investing, the opportunity that chessaray represented was enough to make many celebrities go crazy.
If Cesare really had a big investment in a commercial film to shoot, even if the male and female leads were decided, if they could play a role in such a film, it would also mean that they would enter the International market.
After she understood Xia Chaoqun’s hint, Jiang se nodded and said with a smile, ”
“I understand.”
The meeting place with Cesare was a roast duck restaurant in the center of the Imperial City’s upper ring.
This roast duck restaurant had a history of nearly a hundred years in the imperial capital. The environment was quiet, and the privacy was strong. The service staff was well-trained, and the chef was very good. Therefore, although the price was expensive, it was still difficult for ordinary people to get a reservation.
This was the place that chessaray had specified. From this, Jiang se could analyze two possible scenarios.
There was no reservation at the roast duck restaurant, so it was very difficult to get a seat. The fact that chessaray could get a seat here proved that he had planned to go to China a long time ago. It was not a spontaneous decision.
At the same time, his act of giving her the address gave Jiang se a rough understanding of his strong character.
He was used to giving orders and liked to take the initiative.
He also set the time for the meal very subtly. When dealing with such a person, one could be smart, but one could not act smart.
It was still early when Jiang se arrived. It was past lunchtime at the roast duck restaurant, but there were still many customers.
The restaurant was filled with the aroma of roasted duck. The waiter recognized Jiang se the moment she entered the restaurant.
She had released two movies in a row this year, so she had a high chance of appearing on screen. Her popularity had also risen, and many people in the store had turned to look at her.
When they saw Jiang se, a waiter quickly walked up to her.
“Miss Jiang? Please come this way, Mr. Ley’s reservation is over here.”
When Jiang se entered the private room, chessaray had already arrived.
He was dressed in a snow-white shirt with his suit jacket hanging in a cabinet at the side. His chestnut-colored slightly curly hair was neatly combed back, revealing his full forehead.
The young Italian director was currently leaning against the window and flipping through a book. When he heard the knock on the door and invited Jiang se in, he turned around and saw her.
He did not seem to be surprised by Jiang SE’s early arrival. He greeted her in a relaxed manner as if he was greeting an old friend.
“You won’t get tired of reading this book a hundred times.”
He raised the book in his hand to reveal the cover of ” the prisoner. Jiang se noticed his hands. His fingers were long, and he wore a watch on his wrist. He looked exquisite and elegant.
“Yes, I am.”
Jiang se nodded, and the waiter tactfully left. Chessaray stood up and put the book in his hand away solemnly. He then hugged Jiang se.
“Long time no see. You look very beautiful.”
“Thank you for your compliment, censare.” Jiang se smiled. She pulled a chair over and sat down.”I didn’t expect you to personally deliver the book to China.”
She raised her head. to be honest, I thought you had already forgotten about such a small matter.
Chessaray laughed out loud. He was clearly not offended by Jiang SE’s joke. His eyes were grayish-blue and a little misty. When he laughed, he revealed a row of white and neat teeth.
“How could a true gentleman forget what he promised?” He elegantly picked up the book on the table and stroked it.
in fact, it’s because I’ve always been worried about letting someone else transport her. That would be too unfair to her.
When he finished speaking, he handed the book to Jiang se.
The book looked quite old. It was obvious that the owner had read it often, so the corners of the book were a little hairy.
However, the entire book was maintained very well. The owner of the book had not left any other marks on the book except for the marks of reading.
Jiang se stood up and accepted the book with both hands. Her action made chessaray smile.
“It’s a pleasure to share her with someone who likes her.”
“The thirty-seventh page?”
Jiang se followed the page that chessaray had just flipped through and saw the page he had been reading. Chessaray nodded.
“I watched it on the plane during my free time.”
He picked up the cup of tea on the table. people who read this novel for the first time will find it too profound and difficult to read. Many people will be frightened by the large number of religious words and give up on her.
Chesare sipped his tea and said, ”
“But after persevering, you’ll discover the fun in the book. I’ve already read this book dozens of times.”
He did not hide his love for ‘the prisoner’ at all. He squinted his eyes and said, ”
when I first read it, it was because I didn’t like to give up halfway. After reading it the first time and reading it the second time, there’s a Chinese saying called ‘Yingluo’. he frowned and looked like he was deep in thought. Jiang se continued, ”
“Shocking.”
“Yes, it’s shocking!”
Chessaray excitedly confirmed Jiang SE’s words. I couldn’t wait to watch it for the third and fourth time. Every time I watched it, I had a different feeling.
When he first read ‘the prisoner’, he was still very young. it was when I was in college. I also found her in the corner of the college library. Now that I’m reading it again, I have a different understanding. Matthew is a great writer, do you agree with me?”
“Of course.” Jiang se nodded. after all, your book is still in my hands. You should know that I won’t object to it.
Censare couldn’t help but laugh.
however, I do agree that Matthew is a great writer. His greatness lies in his ideas, his ingenious arrangements for each character in the novel, and his portrayal of each character. Jiang se did not laugh. She traced the name of the book with her finger.
“Before this, I’ve also watched ‘the prisoner’ a few times.”
“How do you feel?”
Chessaray’s interest was piqued. He asked, and Jiang se said, ”
since you know that there’s a Chinese idiom called ‘shocking the heavens,’ do you know that there’s another Chinese idiom called ‘making one feel cold without feeling cold’? ”
After she translated the word into English, it roughly meant ‘not cold and trembling’. Cesare understood the general meaning. He repeated what she said twice and couldn’t help but clap.
“Indeed,”
Matthew’s vocabulary is also very good. Every word accurately expresses what he wants to express. After the English translation, it does lose some of the original flavor of the book. So, thank you, censare, for lending me the original novel. I will take good care of it.
