Chapter 531

531 Immortal encounter

After filming chessaray’s ” God’s salvation “, Jiang SE’s fame would be of great help to the company’s future development. She would be part of the Western film production team. Her fame would put century Galaxy in the leading position in the industry. Many men and women with excellent qualifications who wanted to enter the industry would look up to her as a role model. Those who wanted to look up to the Western film Market would choose Century Galaxy first.

For century Galaxy, putting aside the substantial benefits that Jiang se would bring to them from her annual filming and endorsements, just her identity as a female star of century Galaxy alone would bring about a reputation that far exceeded that of other management companies. Luo Yin was well aware of the benefits she would bring to the development of century Galaxy.

a few days ago, I had an appointment with sister Yuhu for tea. I heard her mention the past and felt that I had let her down. You’ve only had the chance to sit down for a cup of tea and have a chat after being in the company for so many years.

The two of them exchanged some pleasantries but did not get to the point. Xia Chaoqun crossed his legs and looked at the time on his watch, reminding the two of them not to waste their time.

She did not have much free time. She had an appointment with someone from the fedarer company later to discuss some matters. Jiang SE’s watch contract with the company was supposed to expire in March this year. Since she did not have any works to air this year, her exposure was not as high as Tao cen’s. Hence, she was slightly weaker in terms of the contract renewal conditions for the fedarer brand.

Fortunately, Jiang se was very lucky. She seized the opportunity in ” the salvation of God ” to replace Laura as the female lead. With this advantage, she successfully renewed her contract with fedarer for another year.

Xia Chaoqun had to discuss the contract for next year with the fedarer staff and there was a dinner party in the evening.

She should have understood the itinerary Luo Yin had given her. After noticing her small movements, he quickly pulled the topic back to the main topic.

I remember that Xiaojiang’s contract with the company has expired, right? ”

Jiang SE’s contract with century Galaxy had indeed arrived. However, the internal department had been very tight-lipped about the duration of her contract. The reason they had delayed the discussion until now was related to Jiang SE’s filming.

At present, Xia Chaoqun from century Galaxy was still following up on her work. There were also attempts to poach her management company. However, according to Xia Chaoqun, Jiang se had almost never paid attention to such information.

Some of the follow-up matters also indicated that Jiang se had the intention to extend her contract with century Galaxy. This was the reason why Luo Yin had been able to hold her ground.

He was not afraid of Jiang SE’s conditions. He was only afraid that she did not have the ability to do so.

Regarding the contract renewal, Jiang se did have her own plans. She did have the intention to stay in century Galaxy. However, the initiative to sign the contract was in her hands now and not with century Galaxy. Naturally, she could not let rohault sign the contract like she had done in the previous two contracts.

She believed that Luo Yin was also aware of this, so this time, he did not send rohault to discuss the contract, but personally came to discuss it with her.

Knowing Jiang SE’s personality, Luo Yin did not mention the length of the contract. Instead, he increased Jiang SE’s share by 15%.

Jiang se and century Galaxy had always shared a 50 – 50 split. Now that her fame and status had increased, such a split was no longer suitable for her.

Other than the terms of the cut, the other terms remained the same. However, Luo Yin promised to give Jiang se more resources than before. After he finished listing out his terms, Jiang se smiled.

“Mr. Luo, you should know that I haven’t had many works since I entered the industry.”

She was not considered a highly productive artiste. Having been in the industry for so many years, the number of movies she had participated in could be counted. Jiang se had no intention of changing the status quo and desperately accepting roles. Besides, based on her own value, she would not have to worry about resources even if she did not sign with century Galaxy. Therefore, a large number of resources was not an important condition for her to sign.

I can extend the contract to five years, but some of the terms will remain the same. Jiang se paused. Luo Yin nodded and waited for her to finish her sentence.

we’ll split the profits as you said, but what I want is century Galaxy’s shares.

Luo Yin wasn’t surprised when she revealed her ambition. It was as if he had already expected it.

In fact, when she had first chosen century Galaxy, Jiang se had already planned to take a share of the company.

Most of the profit was from her remuneration, which was not enough to attract her. If Luo Yin wanted her to stay, he had to offer more sincere conditions.

Back then, he had managed to retain Xia Chaoqun with 0.1% of the shares, allowing Xia Chaoqun to jump from being an employee to a small shareholder with dividends. Naturally, Jiang se valued this.

Both parties laid out their conditions. The details of the contract could be discussed slowly. The fact that Luo Yin did not reject the offer was the best outcome. The amount of shares he would offer to retain Jiang se would require both parties to discuss and negotiate.

Xia Chaoqun and Jiang se returned to the office after they came down from the 29th floor of century Galaxy. Mo Anqi was already waiting in the office. She was holding a stack of documents as she carefully sized up Jiang se.

She could guess why Luo Yin had summoned Jiang se, but she was also curious about the outcome of the discussion. However, she could not tell from Xia Chaoqun’s and Jiang SE’s expressions. She was an assistant that Jiang se had signed in private. Jiang se was the one who paid her salary and bonuses. Jiang se was her real boss.

Whether or not Jiang se signed a contract with century Galaxy would not affect her. Hence, when she saw that Xia Chaoqun and Jiang se did not want to talk about it, she suppressed her curiosity.

“As for the movie materials, the company has given Sese a few scripts to choose from.”

The scripts had been selected by the company’s staff, and they were all pretty good. However, Jiang se shook her head.

“Put it away first.”

Mo Anqi was a little surprised. She misunderstood Jiang SE’s meaning.

“Sese, are you worried that you’ll miss the promotion of” a chance to live “at the beginning of the year after you’ve accepted the script?”

a chance to live “was expected to be screened in March. Zhang Jingan intended to use this film to impact the French Film Festival and win an award. As the male and female leads of the film, Liu Ye and Jiang se would definitely have to go overseas together. After winning the award, they would have to go around promoting it. There was indeed no time for the film to be filmed.

Xia Chaoqun glanced at her. Jiang se shook her head and explained, ”

before I signed on for ‘the salvation of God,’ director Lin xiwen asked me out to meet and gave me the script.

Accepting the movie did not conflict with her publicity. She could confirm the script first and start filming after the publicity for ‘a chance of survival’ was over.

Mo Anqi finally understood what she meant.

“After I accepted the role of God’s salvation, I had an appointment with director Lin.” At first, she had wanted to reject the script. However, Lin xiwen insisted on waiting for her to read the script and decide if she would be willing to shoot the movie before she got in touch with other female celebrities. Therefore, the script had been with Jiang se all this while.

After filming for ” God’s salvation “, Jiang se had contacted Lin xiwen when she returned to the country. He had been waiting for her reply. It was true that he had not contacted any other actors for this drama.

Therefore, no matter what, Jiang se decided to finish reading Lin xiwen’s script first before she considered other things.

Xia Chaoqun nodded his head. then you should read it first. If you’re interested, Lin xiwen should contact the company.

The script had been in Jiang SE’s house for more than a year. It had never been opened.

It took mo Anqi some time to find the document with the name “Lin xiwen” on it from the cabinet. Jiang se picked up the script and untied the seal. She then poured out the script, the character outline, and the plot outline.

Mo Anqi sat down and immediately saw the words “immortal encounter” on the script. She couldn’t help but shake her head, ”

“Is this Lin xiwen going against a God or an immortal?”

After “events of Beiping “, several of the movies he had filmed were related to myths. God Erlang “, which had suffered a double failure at the box office, was also a classic of Chinese myths and legends. He had thought that he would restrain himself a little after suffering a loss once, but he did not expect that the movie he was preparing to make again was related to ‘Immortals’.

Mo Anqi was not very optimistic about the script, but she was not the one who made the decision. Jiang se picked up the story document for “immortal encounter” and said with an indifferent expression, ”

“It’s hard to say if it’s good or not. We’ll only know after we see it.”

Jiang se had worked with Lin xiwen before, so she had a rough understanding of his personality.

This person might have a business side to him, but at the same time, he also had his own characteristics. He had a very good grasp of emotions and was very good at shooting small emotional scenes.

...

Jiang se did not know how he would film movies that were purely for the sake of box office sales. However, when he was filming ” event of Beiping, ” he was a very serious director. He was meticulous to the point where even the tiniest details were due to his own persistence.

For him to be able to find him and insist on waiting for him to watch the movie ‘immortal encounter’, he must have a certain level of confidence. He didn’t dare to take out anything bad easily, and he even waited for him for two years.

When mo Anqi heard her, she felt that her view was too one-sided. She nodded in embarrassment and boiled some tea for Jiang se before giving her some quiet time to read her script.

The script was called ” immortal encounter “, which easily reminded people of the illusory opportunities that the ancient people had been pursuing.

During the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a family named Jin in Heyang County, which was famous for its good deeds. The head of the family, Jin shanle, was kind and generous. Whenever someone came to ask for help, he would always help them generously without hesitation.

He had a son who was very good at his studies at a young age. He even married the Wang family, who was a descendant of a famous local family. He was a scholar before he was even a child.

Two years after Madam Wang entered the family, she became pregnant. Just as she was about to give birth, she dreamed that an immortal was in her arms. That night, she had an attack and gave birth to a son. At that time, there was a strange phenomenon from the sky and a strange fragrance floated out of the room. When the child was born, there was a blood mole on the center of his forehead. The Jin family recognized that this child was extraordinary.

Jin Shizhen was a fair and adorable man. He was intelligent and pleasant at a young age. He had the ability to remember everything he saw, and his name quickly spread throughout Kaiyang County.

The Wang couple treated their son like a Pearl in their palm and loved him deeply. When Jin Shizhen was 11 or 12 years old, they set up an engagement for him.

When he was 15 or 16 years old, he was already quite handsome and was a famous handsome man in he Yang County. However, Jin Shizhen was not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics since he was young. He also did not want to take the imperial examination. Instead, he was very interested in seeking immortality and often dreamed of obtaining the fate of immortality and becoming an immortal.

How could the Jin family tolerate his treasonous thoughts? they forced him to study hard so that he could become an official in the future and bring glory to the Jin family.

...

Jin Shizhen’s father had been unable to pass the imperial examination for many years after he was awarded the title of a scholar. He was quite disdainful of his son’s innate intelligence for not doing his proper job.

From Jin xuezhen’s father’s point of view, there was no such thing as Immortals in the world, and there was no such thing as immortal fate. Therefore, the relationship between the father and son was tense, and the Jin family quarreled constantly.

In order to dispel Jin Shizhen’s preposterous thoughts, the Imperial examinations were just around the corner. The Jin clan had built a courtyard for Jin Shizhen deep in the mountains outside of he Yang County, and they had let a manservant and a page boy accompany Jin Shizhen in the courtyard. They hoped that he would stop focusing on alchemy and learning the Dao, and instead focus on studying and finding a way out.

Jin Shizhen was quite depressed about his parents ‘incomprehension. He firmly believed that there were ghosts and gods in the world, but those who didn’t have the chance to become Immortals couldn’t touch the high Nine Heavens.

Deep in the mountains, Jin Shizhen soon ran into trouble. He was caught by a monster in the mountains. The monster thought that he had immortal Qi and was going to give him as a congratulatory gift to ‘miss Mei’ for her 1000th birthday.

After being inexplicably captured, Jin Shizhen had seen a series of fearsome demons and ghosts. He also knew that this so-called ‘miss Mei’ was a spiritual monster who had lived in this mountain a thousand years ago. Because of her powerful strength, she became the leader of the demons and they would go to congratulate her on her hundredth birthday.

Even before he saw ‘miss Mei’, Jin Shizhen already felt disgusted by her.

He yearned for the immortal encounter and the righteous path, and did not like demons and ghosts. Just based on the fact that this ‘miss Mei’ was the leader of the demons and could make all the demons obey her orders, and even make the demons capture him as a birthday gift for her birthday, one could see how bad this ‘miss Mei’ was.

On ‘Lady Mei’s’ birthday, he was tied up, but it didn’t reduce his handsome appearance.

The ‘miss Mei’ who appeared in front of him was not ugly. On the contrary, she was extremely beautiful. For thousands of years, she had never accepted any other gift. However, to the demons ‘surprise, the moment she saw Jin Shizhen, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she accepted the’ gift ‘with tears in her eyes.

Jin Shizhen felt very uncomfortable in ‘miss Mei’s’ mansion. This female demon was beautiful and affectionate. She seemed to be very gentle to him and looked at him with infatuation as if he had seen her somewhere before.

However, every time this thought came to his mind, Jin Shizhen would remind himself that this was a monster who had done all sorts of bad things.

Therefore, every time ‘miss Mei’ was gentle to him, he would always speak ill of her, not accepting the Banshee’s good intentions, warning her to let him go home, and even saying that he would find someone to put her away.

After a long time,’miss Mei’s’ eyes gradually dimmed, and she finally let him go back to the Wang family.

After returning to the Wang family and experiencing such an incident, Jin Shizhen was even more determined to find an immortal. He wanted to obtain an immortal encounter, cultivate immortal spells, and eliminate these demons and ghosts in exchange for peace in the human world.

In order to save his son’s heart from the immortal encounter, after the elders of the Jin family discussed it, they took great pains to invite his fiancée Liu-Shi to the residence as a guest.

Lady Liu was extremely beautiful. For some reason, she looked somewhat similar to ‘miss Mei’. When Jin Shizhen saw her, he was reminded of the time when he was imprisoned by’ miss Mei ‘in the mountains. He could not love Lady Liu. In order to avoid his parents’ good intentions, he returned to the house in the mountains.

Who knew that one night, this Liu-Shi would actually be thick-skinned and follow over.
