Chapter 511
511 Who lost?
After the call with chessaray, Jiang se was no longer sleepy. Xia Chaoqun probably did not know about this yet. Tonight, chessaray had informed her in private.
Xia Chaoqun had always slept late. When Jiang se called, she picked up very quickly.
“Is there something?” Even though Jiang SE’s call came suddenly, Xia Chaoqun’s voice remained calm as if there were no fluctuations. When he spoke, he must have put the phone on speaker and placed it on the table. His voice sounded a little distant. The rustling of documents could be heard. Through the phone, Jiang se could almost imagine the scene of Xia Chaoqun working in the study before he went to bed.
“Did I disturb you, sister Chaoqun?”
“No matter what time it is, it won’t be considered a disturbance if you call.”
After she said this, she put her pen on the table and picked up the phone.
after fedarer signed you as their spokesperson, many brands are interested in getting in touch with you. Jiang SE’s endorsement deal with fedarer was like a stepping stone to the fashion world.
After dealing with a top luxury watch brand like fedarer, which was the most difficult to sign-in, many of the higher-ups considered collaborating with Jiang se. Xia Chaoqun, who was also a luxury brand, did not approach Jiang se again. Even if they offered a higher price, Xia Chaoqun was worried that once Jiang se lowered her status, she would attract the attention of fedarer. The biggest taboo for big brands was to have their endorsers approach low-end products during their endorsement period, which would lower their brand’s status.
However, there was still a lot of information that she had to go through one by one. Other than that, there was also a pile of scripts that the company had picked out that she had to go through before handing them to Jiang se.
In reality, Xia Chaoqun was also very busy. He almost did not have the time to chat.
“Why are you still up so late?”
She took a look at the time. It was almost eleven o ‘clock. When Jiang se was not working, her schedule had always been very accurate. Xia Chaoqun had set a rule for her. He hoped that she would try her best to get into bed at ten O’ clock when she was not working so that she could maintain a good schedule.
Jiang se had always been very self-disciplined. She was able to abide by most of the instructions given to her. It was rare that she was still awake at this hour. Xia Chaoqun could not help but guess.
“Is it for Lin xiwen’s script?”
She remembered that Jiang se had met up with Lin xiwen today and accepted her script. She wondered if Lin xiwen’s script was good enough for her to call her at this time.
“No.”
Jiang se shook her head.
I haven’t read director Lin’s script yet. An hour ago, chessaray called me. I auditioned for ‘the prisoner’, sister Chaoqun.
After she said this, Xia Chaoqun, who was on the other end of the line, paused for a moment. Chesare’s call was not only good news for Jiang se, but also for Xia Chaoqun. She quickly reacted.
“I’ll call Anqi later to get your information ready.”
The investors of ” the prisoner ” would probably call soon to discuss the specific contract signing Time, location, and other aspects.
Jiang se hung up the phone and looked at the information file that Lin xiwen had given her. She had not opened it yet, but there was no need for her to do so at the moment.
After she had decided to take on the role of ” the salvation of God “, she would no longer consider Lin xiwen’s new film. She sent Lin xiwen a message and asked to meet him tomorrow.
This time, the meeting was to be held at excellent company. When Jiang se brought the folder to her, Lin xiwen’s eyes darkened.
“I shouldn’t have asked.” He laughed bitterly. but you didn’t reject me through the company or your agent, but you came here in person. So Sese, in my heart, I see you as a friend. If you don’t mind me asking, is it because the story doesn’t suit your taste, or you don’t have confidence in me? ”
He held the folder with a helpless expression.
“None of them.”
Jiang se shook her head. Lin xiwen’s assistant, Madam li, poured her a glass of warm water. She looked up and thanked her with a smile. Then, she said, ”
“You’re not an outsider, and this happened very suddenly, so I felt the need to explain to you personally the reason why I can’t take on this show. It’s not a problem with the script, and it’s not that I don’t have confidence in you. It’s just that I can’t adjust my schedule.”
When she said this, Lin xiwen’s expression looked much better. She was no longer as dejected as before. Jiang se continued, ”
“After this year’s France Film Festival, I stayed in France not only because I signed the contract with fedarer as the spokesperson, but also because I auditioned for a new Chesare film. There was no news from the audition until May, so I decided to take on another role.”
She briefly explained what had happened during the audition that day, and Lin xiwen suddenly understood when she heard this.
Assistant Li’s face was full of disbelief when she heard the name ‘Chesare’.
but before I went to bed last night, chessaray called to inform me that I’ve passed the audition and will be joining the crew soon, so I can’t take on your new film. She stood up and bowed. it has nothing to do with your movie. I haven’t opened the script after confirming the schedule. I’m sorry, director Lin.
After confirming that she was going to take up the role, Jiang se would not consider taking on other film contracts at the same time unless the film was over. Her frankness made Lin xiwen admire her even more.
He could tell that Jiang se was not trying to avoid him. Otherwise, there was no need for her to make the trip herself.
It was a rare opportunity for her to be in a big production directed by a top director like censarre, but she was very honest and did not even open the script after she was sure that she could not take on her own film. She showed him respect.
The folder was perfectly sealed. The red thread at the seal had melted into the wax. Jiang se was probably not lying. Lin xiwen thought about it for a moment before she pushed the script to Jiang se.
“Sese, I really like your personality.” “When we were working together in the event of Beiping, I already felt that you had a good personality,” he praised.
She was always the first to arrive among the actors. At that time, she was still a newcomer and her acting skills were not good enough. She would spend a lot of time trying to figure out other people’s performances, consult the director, and discuss the psychology of a ‘doukou’ with hou Xiling. She would analyze her thoughts so that she could better present the ‘doukou’.
I know that you’re going to take on director chessaray’s film and might not be free for the time being, but I’m willing to wait.
As soon as Lin xiwen finished speaking, assistant Li’s eyes widened and she subconsciously shouted, ”
“Director Lin, please”
“Sese, you’re an actress worth waiting for,” Lin xiwen ignored her assistant’s scream and looked at the script again, ”
the crew is actually still in the midst of preparations. There’s still some time before the actual shooting. You can take on the role of director chessaray’s movie first. After the shooting, if you’ve finished reading the script and have originally joined the crew, you can join at any time. He spread his hands. if you’re still not interested in the script, I’ll contact someone else. It won’t put you in a difficult position.
Lin xiwen’s sincerity was obvious on his face, but this would put him in a passive position. A film took a lot of time to prepare, and he needed to discuss the time with the actors in advance.
If Lin xiwen had prioritized Jiang se and missed out on the others during this period, it might cause the movie to be stuck in an endless wait. It might not even be able to start production for a few years. In the end, it might end up with nothing, and it would be a waste of Lin xiwen’s efforts.
“Director Lin, if we do this, you’ll be at a disadvantage.” Jiang se frowned. Lin xiwen smiled and said, ”
“I understand,”
He had been in the entertainment industry for many years. The consequences of making such a decision were akin to gambling. He understood it better than Jiang se.
but I still want to fight for a chance for this film, not settle for second best. Moreover, if Jiang se was still willing to take up the role in Lin xiwen’s new film after filming chessaray’s movie, her status would be much higher than it was now. The impact would be hard to estimate.
Lin xiwen still insisted that Jiang se keep the script. When “God’s salvation” was done filming, she would see if Jiang se was willing to take the script.
He had emphasized to Lin xiwen that if she did not like the script, she might still reject it in the end. However, he still insisted on his original plan, so Jiang se accepted the script.
God’s salvation had already contacted century Galaxy to confirm their collaboration. With Jiang SE’s prior notice, Xia Chaoqun had already prepared the information and documents. He had also booked a flight to Rome on Friday.
After signing the contract for this movie, she might have to spend at least half a year abroad. Before she set off, she went to see Feng Zhongliang and bid him farewell.
When he found out that Jiang se was going on a long journey again, although Feng Zhongliang was a little reluctant, he respected her choice. He only reminded her to take good care of herself and told her to say goodbye to the PEI family. He did not mention that he wanted Jiang se to leave the entertainment industry like before.
Initially, when Jiang se married into the PEI family, the most difficult thing for her was to remember the complicated relationships between the prestigious families and the relatives and friends of the PEI family.
However, Jiang se had taken advantage of her rebirth. She had followed Feng Zhongliang around the PEI family since she was young. Therefore, the most difficult part was the easiest for her. She had been learning about posture and etiquette, and she was doing much better than old lady PEI had expected.
Therefore, when old lady PEI learned that Jiang se was going overseas for work, she did not make things difficult for her. Instead, she only gave her a few simple instructions.
When she arrived in Italy, Jiang se first met up with people from Borgia Corporation to sign the contract. the prisoner ” had been decided to change its name to ” God’s redemption “. Filming would start at the beginning of next year.
During this period, chessaray had to prepare for the shooting of the sequel to ” the lost city. after confirming the contract and the role of Shireen, Jiang se joined the crew of ” God’s salvation ” with a pay of 200000 US dollars.
Jiang SE’s current net worth in the country was far higher than that. Fortunately, the reason she accepted the role of ” God’s redemption ” was not to earn money.
As soon as the contract was signed, chessaray made his request. He wanted Jiang se to join a boxing session at the beginning of ” God’s salvation ” and gain at least ten pounds of weight.
She was tall and thin, and she maintained good fitness habits. However, she was very strict with her diet, which made her look graceful but not strong.
Shireen appeared as an injured female warrior in God’s salvation.
Even if she was injured in the hands of the heretics, a figure who could fight for the temple was definitely not a delicate woman.
Chessaray took out a bag of documents.
“This is the storyboard I drew.”
Jiang se opened the document. He had already drawn out the scenes in which Shireen had appeared on camera. Chessaray had a very good foundation in art, so the scenes were clear at a glance. Even the expression of greed hidden in alleyway’s expression was drawn very vividly. However, only Shireen’s figure reached her head. Her facial features were shrouded in a shadow.
you have to control the emotions of this character. However, at the very least, you can’t be too weak.
Jiang se knew what to do, so she nodded.
Chessaray’s gaze was gentle. It was not easy for Chinese female celebrities to enter the International market, but he believed that Jiang se was one of the special ones.
It wasn’t just because she had lowered her value to take on a role that only had a few scenes. After all, it wasn’t difficult to do this. Many people were willing to give up their pay for the opportunity, such as Tao cen from Huaxia.
However, the difficult part was that they were willing to put in a lot of effort behind the scenes for a role that didn’t have many scenes. This was what chessaray valued.
Shireen didn’t have many scenes. After the final editing, she would only appear for a few minutes. However, for this, she had to push away all work and focus on physical training and boxing for more than half a year.
She was happy to accept all of this. This was the most important reason why Cesare was willing to help her join the group.
Tao cen had been flying to Australia for a week.
the lost city 2 “was about to start shooting here. The two concert tickets that she had given to Chesare in France finally worked, and they successfully joined the crew of” the lost city 2.
Chesare was still in Rome. It was said that he had been delayed by something, so the shooting was delayed until the middle of the month.
Tao cen had come here in advance to enjoy the sunshine and beach, as well as the fine wine.
On the beach, there were many men and women with excellent figures passing by with their surfboards. Chen Jiao applied sunblock for her, and she couldn’t hide the smile on her face.
Due to Chesare’s praise for Jiang se, Chen Jiao had been worried that the role in “the lost city 2” that belonged to Tao cen would be snatched away by Jiang se. To her surprise, Tao cen still managed to secure the role in the end.
It was not hard to imagine that Tao cen’s fame would reach new heights in the country with the release of the first and second Lost City.
Just the fact that she had worked with chessaray twice in a row was enough for her to overpower Jiang se.
“If that person in the company wants to be compared to you, sister Tao, I’m afraid it won’t be enough even if he works for another ten years!” So what if he had gotten the endorsement from fedarer? so what if he had gotten Chesare’s praise? In short, Tao cen had the last laugh!
Tao cen was lying lazily on the beach chair with his eyes closed. She didn’t know if he had fallen asleep, but he didn’t pay attention to her words. Instead, the assistant beside him nodded.
Some time ago, Jiang se had been in the limelight. The box office sales of “demon” and fedarer’s endorsement deal had caused the people around Tao cen to feel indignant. The company’s wind had also shifted to Jiang SE’s side.
Now that Tao cen was working with chessaray for the second time, the staff around him could finally hold their heads high.
it’s hard to say even if it’s ten years. To be able to work with a director like censare twice, apart from luck, it also requires sister Tao’s ability. Jiang se had missed “the lost city 2 “. No matter what, she would not be able to catch up to Tao cen.
I really want to see how Jiang se will feel when she finds out that even though she pushed sister Tao away at the French Film Festival and sat down with chessaray to talk and get chessaray to praise her film, chessaray still chose sister Tao in the end for the collaboration.
Chen Jiao’s eyes narrowed, and she paused in the middle of applying sunblock.
“I’ve already contacted a reporter from Huaxia information and told him that sister Tao is going to shoot Lost City 2. I’m afraid tonight’s headlines will be pretty good.”
As soon as she finished speaking, an assistant opened the news. The news that Tao cen was going to continue acting in ‘the lost city 2’ had indeed spread throughout the country. The title of Huaxia information was:
Jiang se did not have the chance to cut sare’s ‘Lost City 2’, but famous directors favored Tao cen more!
In the news, Tao cen’s fans cheered when they heard that Tao cen had managed to suppress Jiang se in “the lost city 2” again.
The assistants all smiled. Tao cen frowned and propped herself up. The sunglasses on her head fell down a little because of her actions. Compared to the joy on the others ‘faces, she found it difficult to smile. Just as she was about to speak, one of the assistants’ phones rang. The young male assistant took out his phone and said,
“Zhou Sheng from the company called.”
The Zhou Sheng He was talking about was Luo ao’s Special Assistant. He was one of the staff members from century Galaxy’s secretarial department. He knew some inside information and was on Tao cen’s side. He had a good relationship with Tao cen.
The assistant picked up the phone as he spoke, but the smile on his face quickly froze. After hanging up, he looked at Tao cen and bit his lip.
sister Tao, Zhou Sheng said that he just heard that Jiang se went to Rome for a walk.
