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.
âIs there something?â Even though Jiang SEâs call came suddenly, Xia Chaoqunâs 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.
âDid I disturb you, sister Chaoqun?â
âNo matter what time it is, it wonât be considered a disturbance if you call.â
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 SEâs 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 brandâs 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.
âWhy are you still up so late?â
She took a look at the time. It was almost eleven o âclock. 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 Oâ 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.
âIs it for Lin xiwenâs script?â
She remembered that Jiang se had met up with Lin xiwen today and accepted her script. She wondered if Lin xiwenâs script was good enough for her to call her at this time.
âNo.â
Jiang se shook her head.
I havenât read director Linâs script yet. An hour ago, chessaray called me. I auditioned for âthe prisonerâ, sister Chaoqun.
After she said this, Xia Chaoqun, who was on the other end of the line, paused for a moment. Chesareâs call was not only good news for Jiang se, but also for Xia Chaoqun. She quickly reacted.
âIâll call Anqi later to get your information ready.â
The investors of â the prisoner â 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 â the salvation of God â, she would no longer consider Lin xiwenâs 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 xiwenâs eyes darkened.
âI shouldnât have asked.â He laughed bitterly. but you didnât 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 donât mind me asking, is it because the story doesnât suit your taste, or you donât have confidence in me? â
He held the folder with a helpless expression.
âNone of them.â
Jiang se shook her head. Lin xiwenâs assistant, Madam li, poured her a glass of warm water. She looked up and thanked her with a smile. Then, she said, â
âYouâre not an outsider, and this happened very suddenly, so I felt the need to explain to you personally the reason why I canât take on this show. Itâs not a problem with the script, and itâs not that I donât have confidence in you. Itâs just that I canât adjust my schedule.â
When she said this, Lin xiwenâs expression looked much better. She was no longer as dejected as before. Jiang se continued, â
âAfter this yearâs 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.â
She briefly explained what had happened during the audition that day, and Lin xiwen suddenly understood when she heard this.
Assistant Liâs face was full of disbelief when she heard the name âChesareâ.
but before I went to bed last night, chessaray called to inform me that Iâve passed the audition and will be joining the crew soon, so I canât take on your new film. She stood up and bowed. it has nothing to do with your movie. I havenât opened the script after confirming the schedule. Iâm 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.
âSese, I really like your personality.â âWhen we were working together in the event of Beiping, I already felt that you had a good personality,â 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 peopleâs performances, consult the director, and discuss the psychology of a âdoukouâ with hou Xiling. She would analyze her thoughts so that she could better present the âdoukouâ.
I know that youâre going to take on director chessarayâs film and might not be free for the time being, but Iâm willing to wait.
As soon as Lin xiwen finished speaking, assistant Liâs eyes widened and she subconsciously shouted, â
âDirector Lin, pleaseâ
âSese, youâre an actress worth waiting for,â Lin xiwen ignored her assistantâs scream and looked at the script again, â
the crew is actually still in the midst of preparations. Thereâs still some time before the actual shooting. You can take on the role of director chessarayâs movie first. After the shooting, if youâve finished reading the script and have originally joined the crew, you can join at any time. He spread his hands. if youâre still not interested in the script, Iâll contact someone else. It wonât put you in a difficult position.
Lin xiwenâs 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 xiwenâs efforts.
âDirector Lin, if we do this, youâll be at a disadvantage.â Jiang se frowned. Lin xiwen smiled and said, â
âI understand,â
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 xiwenâs new film after filming chessarayâs 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 âGodâs salvationâ 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.
...
Godâs salvation had already contacted century Galaxy to confirm their collaboration. With Jiang SEâs 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 â had been decided to change its name to â Godâs redemption â. Filming would start at the beginning of next year.
During this period, chessaray had to prepare for the shooting of the sequel to â the lost city. after confirming the contract and the role of Shireen, Jiang se joined the crew of â Godâs salvation â with a pay of 200000 US dollars.
Jiang SEâs current net worth in the country was far higher than that. Fortunately, the reason she accepted the role of â Godâs redemption â 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 â Godâs salvation â 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 Godâs 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.
âThis is the storyboard I drew.â
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 alleywayâs expression was drawn very vividly. However, only Shireenâs 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 canât be too weak.
Jiang se knew what to do, so she nodded.
Chessarayâs 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 wasnât just because she had lowered her value to take on a role that only had a few scenes. After all, it wasnât 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 didnât have many scenes. This was what chessaray valued.
Shireen didnât 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 âwas 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 ofâ 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 couldnât hide the smile on her face.
Due to Chesareâs praise for Jiang se, Chen Jiao had been worried that the role in âthe lost city 2â 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 cenâs 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.
âIf that person in the company wants to be compared to you, sister Tao, Iâm afraid it wonât be enough even if he works for another ten years!â So what if he had gotten the endorsement from fedarer? so what if he had gotten Chesareâs praise? In short, Tao cen had the last laugh!
Tao cen was lying lazily on the beach chair with his eyes closed. She didnât know if he had fallen asleep, but he didnât 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 âdemonâ and fedarerâs endorsement deal had caused the people around Tao cen to feel indignant. The companyâs wind had also shifted to Jiang SEâs side.
Now that Tao cen was working with chessaray for the second time, the staff around him could finally hold their heads high.
itâs hard to say even if itâs ten years. To be able to work with a director like censare twice, apart from luck, it also requires sister Taoâs ability. Jiang se had missed âthe lost city 2 â. 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 Jiaoâs eyes narrowed, and she paused in the middle of applying sunblock.
âIâve already contacted a reporter from Huaxia information and told him that sister Tao is going to shoot Lost City 2. Iâm afraid tonightâs headlines will be pretty good.â
As soon as she finished speaking, an assistant opened the news. The news that Tao cen was going to continue acting in âthe lost city 2â had indeed spread throughout the country. The title of Huaxia information was:
Jiang se did not have the chance to cut sareâs âLost City 2â, but famous directors favored Tao cen more!
In the news, Tao cenâs fans cheered when they heard that Tao cen had managed to suppress Jiang se in âthe lost city 2â 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 âfaces, she found it difficult to smile. Just as she was about to speak, one of the assistantsâ phones rang. The young male assistant took out his phone and said,
âZhou Sheng from the company called.â
The Zhou Sheng He was talking about was Luo aoâs Special Assistant. He was one of the staff members from century Galaxyâs secretarial department. He knew some inside information and was on Tao cenâs 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.
