Chapter 329
329 The Eight Immortals
Feng Nan’s first reaction was the same as that of Tao cen’s manager, Chen Jiao. He must not let this matter leak out. If Jiang se were to get in touch with chessaray, her reputation in the country would rise again and again. He had to suppress her.
Chessaray maintained his impeccable dining etiquette. He was not very familiar with Chinese chopsticks, and occasionally used a knife and fork.
in many people’s eyes, Matthew’s novel doesn’t sell well. Even until now, it hasn’t been reprinted many times.
He forked a piece of meat. I wanted to put it on the screen and let more people see it, but now the plan has been put on hold again and again.
it’s not because she’s not good enough. It’s because you like her too much, so you’re more careful. Jiang se answered chessaray’s question, which made him laugh.
“That’s just one of the reasons.”
His eyes flashed with joy. He put down his fork and knife and raised one hand.
but I like what you’re saying. It makes me feel very comfortable.
in fact, the real reason is not only because she’s worthy of my attention, but also because of the investment.
Chessaray sighed, and the smile on his face faded.
Jiang se frowned. Chessaray was still young. He was in his thirties, but he was already a young director who had received a lot of recognition in the film industry. He was very well-known internationally. As long as he put forward his ideas, there would be many people willing to invest in him.
She had memorized Chesare’s information and knew some of his achievements. Many famous Hollywood stars should be happy to work with him.
But now, chessaray was saying that he didn’t film his favorite ‘the prisoner’ because of the investment.
Jiang SE’s sharp senses told her that it was not just a normal investment. Chessaray must have certain requirements for these investments.
As for this request, Jiang se guessed that, based on how much chessaray valued and liked ” the prisoner, ” he would probably hope to obtain more authority for the filming.
Jiang se had yet to come into contact with the foreign film industry, but she had a rough understanding of it. The role of a director on a set was to give the story an artistic depth.
However, with the intervention of investors and producers, if the director was not strong enough, it was very likely that the final direction of the story would deviate from the director’s imagination and be based on the preferences of the market and audience.
Today, Hollywood’s film industry had matured. A large number of investors could invest in many movies at the same time. If one movie lost money, they could make up for the losses in other movies. Under such circumstances, commercial blockbusters were produced frequently, but there were not many movies that were really deep.
Since Chesare liked ” the prisoner “, he naturally did not want it to become a commercial film. In the case that the original work did not have a large number of fans as a Foundation, if he wanted to follow the original work and make the original ” the prisoner “, how could the producer invest in it?
This was probably the real reason why ” the prisoner ” had not been filmed yet.
As chessaray had said, it was not because the film was not good enough, nor because his reputation was not good enough, and not because he liked it very much. It was because his ideas were likely to conflict with the market.
It was a very difficult task to make a movie that the audience liked and he was satisfied with.
“This isn’t a simple matter.”
Jiang se wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin. Cesare was young and wealthy, but it was clearly unrealistic for him to invest in a movie all by himself.
This was especially true for a novel like ” the prisoner ” that was filled with fantasy. The hiring of actors, the post-production team, and the production of special effects all required money. Jiang se gave it some thought and came up with a suggestion.
however, if you have high expectations for this movie, you can invest in it first. After shooting a part of it, you can take out a loan from the bank.
Chessaray laughed again. He picked up the glass beside him and raised it toward Jiang se. He clinked his glass.
your suggestion is very good. I’ve also considered it.
He had just mentioned this, but Jiang se could already guess what he was trying to say. This obviously put Chesare in a good mood. He took a sip of the wine in his glass.
but in the end, I still managed to convince borgil and loop Island Company.
He swirled the glass, and the transparent liquid rippled in the crystal glass. The air was filled with the faint aroma of wine.
“The people from borgil’s company wanted to invest in an adventure series three years ago, and they came to me.” He leaned back in his chair and smiled. I agreed to take charge of this movie series, and they invested in my ‘the prisoner’.
This was a condition in exchange. He had gotten ring Island Company to invest in his ” the prisoner ” on the condition that he would shoot a commercial film. There must have been a series of negotiations, but chessaray did not go into detail.
When he said this, chessaray paused for a moment. He put his glass down and looked at Jiang se. Finally, he revealed his main purpose for this trip to China.
“Jiang, I remember you’re a history student?”
“Yes, I am.”
When Jiang se heard him mention borjil and circling Island, she already had an idea. She recalled Xia Chaoqun’s reminder and guessed chessaray’s intention.
At this moment, Jiang SE’s heart was beating faster. The blood in her body was boiling. She could guess that the opportunity Xia Chaoqun had mentioned was coming.
However, she remained calm and did not show any signs of losing her composure.
I’ve read the script of this adventure movie, and one of the characters suits your image very well. Are you interested in learning more? ”
Chessaray laughed and extended his hand to Jiang se.
He seemed to be very confident that Jiang se would not reject him. Indeed, Jiang se had no reason to reject him. She did not even ask what kind of role chessaray had prepared for her. She extended her hand.
“Of course!”
The two of them shook hands.
After confirming Jiang SE’s attitude, chessaray immediately stopped talking about irrelevant topics.
‘the lost city’ is mainly about exploration, and one of the characters is a female history graduate. I’ve seen your performance in ‘event of Beiping’, and it’s very Chinese.
With his elbows on the table and his hand clenched into a fist, he described the female characters needed for ” the lost city ” in a few words.
Based on what he said, Jiang se could roughly guess what he wanted to feel. The character was a history major, so he should be quite knowledgeable about history. At the same time, since it was an adventure film, there would be a lot of action scenes.
Judging from the title of the movie, Jiang se even guessed that the character should have some knowledge of archeology. At the same time, chessaray mentioned ” events of Beiping ” and explained that Jiang SE’s performance in the movie had Chinese characteristics. This also proved that the character he wanted had to have a certain level of historical and archeology knowledge, as well as the unique style of an Eastern woman. Her dressing would be based on Chinese traditions.
A rough image appeared in her mind.
