535 Chapter 5
In Song Yi’s opinion, Jiang se should strike while the iron was hot under such conditions. She should take on the role of a major foreign production and use the chessaray movie to build her reputation. However, she had unexpectedly taken on Lin xiwen’s movie.
“Lin xiwen had worked with Jiang se when she was filming ‘events of Beiping’ in her early years.”
Jiang se had also shot to fame after ” events of Beiping ” because of ” doukou. she had won the honor of ” Best Supporting Female lead ” at the Huaxia Film Festival that year.
The two of them should be on good terms. Coupled with Lin xiwen’s previous box office failure, Song Yi guessed that Lin xiwen had come to Jiang se to put out the fire.
Tao cen was not surprised that he had such thoughts. Many people in the entertainment industry probably had the same thoughts as Song Yi. They thought that Lin xiwen was using her old friendship to get Jiang se to help.
However, she had worked with Xia Chaoqun for many years and understood his personality very well. After hearing Song Yi’s analysis, Tao cen said, ”
“Friendship? Help?”
She lay back on the sofa and let her assistant wash her face and apply a Facial mask for her.
“You’re talking about Jiang se.”
Since Jiang se had been able to progress smoothly in this mission and had worked together with Xia Chaoqun, she could not be a simple character. She was not worthy of Tao cen’s attention either.
There was still a long way to go between Song Yi and Xia Chaoqun. Tao cen also had the intention to give him some advice.
since Jiang se entered the industry, count the number of movies she has acted in before and the movies she has acted in later.
In the early days, he played minor roles in ” rescue mission “, ” the 99th love letter “, and ” pretense to reality “. The box office sales were all good. Later on, he performed well in ” events of Beiping ” and even won an award. However, the media’s focus was on the director, the scriptwriter, and the film story itself.
In ” about I love you, ” she had overshadowed hang Yuyi, who played the male lead.
The box office for ” care ” was not bad, but in fact, during that period of time, more people were paying attention to Zhao rang’s return with ” about I love you ” after ” the 99th love letter “.
Needless to say, ” demon ” was a great success. In addition to winning two major awards in a row at the France Film Festival, Liu Ye’s participation also helped the film to build up its momentum in the early stages of the publicity.
All in all, the audience had seen Jiang SE’s improvement in acting skills and acknowledged it. However, she was the main lead in the movie, so she did not have a huge advantage in terms of box office appeal.
At this time, the movie Lin xiwen came into being.
Lin xiwen’s previous movies had poor reviews and the audience had cursed her. If Jiang se were to star in her next movie that was of passable quality, it would give the impression that Jiang se was the one who had been holding up the box office. She would be the foundation of her appeal.
Song Yi’s mouth fell open. but why does Jiang se have such confidence? ”
Tao cen opened his eyes and looked at him.
God’s salvation has just finished its production a few months ago. Based on the time, Jiang se should take over Lin xiwen’s movie for now. We’ll shoot after we’re done promoting a chance of survival.
At this point in time, the new film would probably be released around the time when ” God’s salvation ” was released. By then, Jiang se would be the female lead of a European and American blockbuster with chessaray as her partner. Such news alone was enough to stir up the Chinese audience.
After Jiang se signed the contract for ” destiny, ” just as Tao cen had expected, Oriental Cinema quickly agreed to Xia Chaoqun’s request. In the end, Oriental Cinema compromised on the remuneration, which gave Jiang se the upper hand in the negotiation with Luo Yin.
At the end of January, Luo Yin used Galaxy of the century against Jiang se 3.5: With a 6.5% share and 0.5% of century Galaxy’s shares as the condition, Jiang se would renew her contract with century Galaxy for another eight years.
The agreement was confidential to outsiders, but it could not escape the prying eyes of those who were interested. Jiang se did not have the time to look into what others were thinking. Chesare’s ” Lost City ” was about to be screened, and the production team for ” Lost City ” had arrived in China to promote it.
Although Tao cen did not have many scenes in the film, it was the first time a Chinese actress had acted in an international blockbuster, so it still attracted a lot of interest from the Chinese audience. Before the film was even released, the pre-sales box office sales had already reached over 300 million Yuan in China thanks to chessaray’s name and the male and female leads.
Although Jiang se did not participate in the movie, chessaray was the director and they were on good terms. Hence, chessaray invited Jiang se to the premiere of ” the lost city ” in the imperial capital.
The premiere was still held in the Imperial’s IMAX theater. The venue was huge, and the media personnel from all over the country had received the news early in the morning and rushed to the Imperial City.
Other than the invited media personnel and some professional film Critics, the rest were all people in the film-related industry.
In the largest VIP theater on the top floor of the IMAX theater, the media was anxiously waiting for the opening ceremony.
The waiting area below the building was also more lively than usual.
Other than some of the audience, there were also some netizens who had arrived early to watch the show.
Some people had already bought tickets for the midnight premiere of ” the lost city ” tonight, and they were waiting to watch the film directed by Chesare. There were also some people who were here to see the stars.
Many celebrities had already expressed their interest in buying tickets to support Chesare’s movie. Many netizens had already seen many celebrities ‘cars in the underground parking lot.
The idols and celebrities that could only be seen through the screen in the past were now very close to them. They were surrounded by bodyguards and assistants as they went upstairs to wait for the movie to start.
Among the crowd, Feng Nan was also sitting in the VIP waiting area with a few assistants, waiting for the movie to start.
Her status in the entertainment industry was too low, so she was not qualified to receive an invitation from Chesare for tonight’s premiere. However, Feng Nan was very ambitious, and she also hoped to have a chance encounter with Chesare so that she could leave a good impression on him.
To Feng Nan, her luck had not been very good last year and this year. She had initially wanted to take on ‘suspect’, but Tao cen had snatched it away from her. After her plan fell through, Feng Nan was so angry that she took a long time to recover.
However, she did not give up so easily. She knew that her current status in the entertainment industry was too low, and she did not have Feng Zhongliang to support her. She quickly adjusted her mentality and no longer kept her eyes on those movies with high box office sales and good reviews.
She had finally thought it through. In her memory of her previous life, most of the movies that had good box office sales and good reviews had good directors and scripts. Such movie resources would first fall into the hands of a big company like century Galaxy, and after layers of screening, they would be dropped.
Good things could be seen by others, but they would not fall into his hands.
She was no longer young and had achieved nothing in the industry. Her highest achievement was the role of ‘miss Eguchi’ in Zhang Jingan’s ” rescue mission “. However, over the years, this role had not brought her any glory.
Back then, she did not strike while the iron was hot and choose to join a big management company. Now, it was too late to make a choice.
Without the best resources, she could only lower her standards and no longer focus on the movies that caused a sensation in her previous life. Instead, she focused on those movies that were not famous at the beginning but did well at the box office in the end.
Many movies were like ” revenge ” where the director wasn’t very famous before, but the final movie was praised and became her target.
She also had an advantage. Her memories from her previous life had become her biggest reliance. With this advantage, Feng Nan had already taken a fancy to two films that were in preparation at the beginning of the year. He had invested all the money he had received from the film last year, which he had originally planned to invest in ” the suspect, ” into these films. Naturally, he had become the female lead of the two films.
Although the box office of these two movies could not be compared to the big movies, she should be able to make a small profit and make a name for herself after they were released.
However, although Feng Nan had lowered his standards, he did not give up on his initial hope.
Therefore, when she found out that Chesare’s team had come to China, she had tried her best to find out Chesare’s whereabouts many times. In the end, she had decided to meet him in the theater. She wanted to see if she could stop him after the premiere.
Many people had the same idea as Feng Nan, and the VIP waiting area was soon filled with people. The assistants cleared out a small empty space for Feng Nan, and she even sent Dai Jia to keep an eye on her in the garage downstairs. Once the main cast of ” the lost city ” came in, someone would inform Feng Nan and let her create a chance encounter.
She was a little anxious as she held her phone with her head lowered, but her mind was not on her phone.
When Jiang se arrived at the theater, it was still early. She got out of the car in the garage and saw Dai Jia from afar.
...
She was standing in a corner next to the elevator. Under the light, if Jiang se had not raised her head and noticed her when she was about to enter the elevator, she would not have noticed her at all.
Dai Jia was dressed in a black suit. Her long hair was tied up in a ponytail and she had light makeup on. She had an earpiece in her ear. Her gaze fell on Jiang se, who was being surrounded by her assistant, Xia Chaoqun, and the others.
The elevator door was still open, and she was wearing a white down jacket. Under the light, her skin was as white as Jade, and she was as beautiful as a flower.
When the two of them passed each other, Jiang se stared at her for a while. She raised her head and looked into Jiang SE’s eyes for a while. In the end, she pursed her lips and lowered her head. She whispered to someone, ”
“Jiang se is here.”
She must have been on the phone with someone. After the elevator door closed, mo Anqi glanced at Jiang se in confusion.
Mo Anqi knew about Jiang se and Dai Jia’s relationship. The two of them were friends. When Dai Jia was maligned, it was Jiang se who got someone to file a lawsuit on her behalf. In the end, Dai Jia was released from prison after a few years.
When Dai Jia was released from prison, Jiang se had even thought of hiring her as her assistant. However, Xia Chaoqun had dismissed the idea.
Logically speaking, since they were friends, they should not be so cold to each other when they met. However, when they met earlier, Dai Jia did not even greet Jiang se!
Dai Jia’s cold attitude was one thing, but Jiang SE’s reaction was also very strange. She did not seem to mind Dai Jia’s attitude at all. It was as if she had just met a stranger.
Mo Anqi shook her head. The elevator reached the VIP room on the top floor. As soon as the door opened, a group of media and film Critics who had arrived earlier turned around.
...
When the crowd saw Jiang se, many of them were surprised.
Jiang se was on good terms with chessaray, and many of the Chinese media knew about it.
At the France Film Festival two years ago, chessaray had not only praised ” the demon ” but also Jiang se. He had even declared that he would work with her. She was also on the cast list for ” God’s salvation ” last year.
It was not strange for chessaray to invite Jiang se to such an event. However, many people were excited to see that Jiang se had actually come.
People in the industry had a set of stories about the events that had happened before the filming of ” the lost city ” started. The most widely spread story was that when ” the lost city ” was still in its early stages of production, the Chinese actress that chessaray had his eyes on was Jiang se, who had won the Best Supporting Actress award at the China International Film Festival with ” events of Beiping. he had even specially flown to China to meet Jiang se and discuss the role.
At that time, the scene of chessaray and Jiang se meeting and having a meal was still a hot topic. It was only after Xia Chaoqun’s emergency public relations that the news was removed.
Someone once said that this piece of news eventually infuriated chessaray and caused Jiang se to regretfully lose her chance at filming ” the lost city “. That was how Tao cen was able to successfully join the crew in the end.
Regardless of whether the news was true or false, the battle between the two top female stars in the Galaxy of the century was already obvious at that time.
Following the departure of century Galaxy’s top manager, Xia Chaoqun, to focus on taking care of Jiang se, the battle between these two female celebrities became even more confusing.
There was also the movie Competition between Tao cen and Jiang se at the France Film Festival. Later, both of them were shortlisted for the title of ‘Best Actress’. Until now, the fans of both sides supported their idols and could not get over it.
Jiang SE’s attendance at the premiere of “the lost city” was partly due to chessaray’s invitation. However, with Tao cen’s presence, the premiere would probably be rather exciting.
A group of reporters rushed over. Mo Anqi quickly stood in front of Jiang se and spread her arms to protect her. Jiang se had already taken off her coat before she stepped out of the elevator.
Tonight, she was wearing a white, round-neck, yellow, polka-dot dress, which made her look fresh and beautiful, but it was too low-key. It was obvious that she had no intention of competing with the main cast and lead actors for the limelight.
Ms. Jiang and director Qi are indeed on good terms. You’re even here to support the premiere of ‘the lost city’.
The reporters from Huaxia information came over. Since it wasn’t time for the official interview yet, and the VIP room of the cinema didn’t allow private photos, the reporters didn’t take out their equipment, and no one took photos. Most of them were just here to say hello.
“Sese, did you come to the premiere of the lost city because of Chesare’s invitation or to watch miss Tao’s performance?”
“In fact, it’s both. I’m very grateful to Cesare for giving me the opportunity to watch ‘the lost city’ first, and I’m looking forward to miss Tao’s performance in ‘the lost city’.”
Jiang se gave a simple reply. This was not the main interview session. The security guards arranged by the theater’s publicity team were looking around. Although the media reporters still had many questions to ask, they could only watch as Jiang se entered the lounge to get her makeup touched up.
That night was Chesare’s home ground. He did not speak much in front of the media. He appeared overly calm and elegant. However, he had a good grasp of the situation. Most of the questions raised by the reporters and film Critics revolved around the movie. Very few people were tactless and brought up the topic of Tao cen and Jiang SE’s fight for the role in the past.
When chessaray mentioned his initial idea of filming ” the lost city, ” the media reporters in the theater lowered their heads and took down his words. Tao cen listened to chessaray’s speech with a smile while turning to look at Jiang se.
