The reason why Jiang Se was asked to memorize all of it was purely because of Xia Chaoqun's personal character and speaking habits, and his strict requirements.
In fact, deep down in her heart, she never thought that Jiang Se could do it.
The interpersonal relationships of the thirty judges was already a huge project. The company employees who collected the information at the time also had about ten people, and they worked non-stop for nearly a week to complete it, not to mention their preferences, achievements, etc.
She didn't expect that Jiang Se would memorize all of this.
"Have you memorized all of them?"
Xia Chaoqun couldn't help asking, and Jiang Se once again gave her a positive answer:
"No problem."
She couldn't help but flip through a page of information and asked:
"Christopher, tell me a little bit."
The person Xia Chaoqun mentioned was a well-known British screenwriter and photographer. As soon as she finished asking, Jiang Se said:
"Christopher is 41 years old and was born in London. His father is American and works for AA Airlines. His mother is a housewife and there are four brothers in his family."
She had said before that she had memorized the information, and she was not just bragging:
“… He graduated from University College London. His wife Beryl was his college classmate. She currently teaches at the Department of Physics at the California Institute of Technology. They have two sons after marriage. The eldest son…”
Xia Chaoqun took a deep breath and listened to her recite Christopher's information, from his basic personal profile to his hobbies and honors.
This person was one of the judges named by Xia Chaoqun casually. Even if Jiang Se put a lot of information in front of her and mentioned this person, she would have to take the time to find the information, even if it was cheating.
But when Xia Chaoqun asked her, she didn't pause or hesitate. It was obvious that she had memorized the information clearly in her mind. When he asked her, she answered it casually.
On the other end of the phone, Xia Chaoqun had a complicated expression. She knew that Jiang Se was diligent and perseverant, and she also knew that she was talented and willing to work hard, but she really didn't expect that Jiang Se would work so hard.
Among the two artists she manages, Tao Cen is also a serious and motivated person. When Xia Chaoqun signed Tao Cen, he valued this point about her.
To this day, Tao Cen has indeed made steady progress, becoming a top domestic actress and now heading towards the international stage, which is enough to prove Xia Chaoqun's vision for people.
But compared with Tao Cen, Jiang Se is just as serious as her, and even better than her.
Xia Chaoqun vaguely remembered that in the second year when she led Tao Cen, neither of them had the status they have now, and Xia Chaoqun's say in the company was naturally not comparable to what it is now.
At that time, a movie that Tao Cen had worked hard to get for Xia Chaoqun was about to be released. Tao Cen and Xia Chaoqun were both eyeing the Best New Actress Award at the China International Film Festival.
At that time, Xia Chaoqun had just joined the company and had a low status, and Tao Cen could not be compared with Jiang Se today.
In the company, strength and ability are the key. Xia Chaoqun, who had nothing at the time, personally took action. After getting the list of judges for that session, he checked the judges' information day and night. It took him more than half a month to finally collect all the information. After carefully organizing it, he gave it to Tao Cen to memorize.
Tao Cen took a month. She was considered a hard-working actress, but in the end she still could not memorize all the information. She only memorized most of it. At that film festival, Tao Cen shined, and Xia Chaoqun took the opportunity to use the information to make connections and lay the foundation for later relationships.
In the end, Tao Cen naturally got the Newcomer Award as he wished. That was many years ago.
It is precisely because of these past experiences that she and Tao Cen have a close relationship. It is not because she will hold Tao Cen tightly in her hands after Tao Cen becomes successful, but because she admires Tao Cen's character and work more.
For Xia Chaoqun, the Huaxia International Film Festival was only the first step of her long journey. She had not thought about it for many years. Now she has a high position in the company, and she does not need to do such trivial things as collecting information herself. Tao Cen is no longer the new star she was back then, but the top star of Century Galaxy.
But a phone call with Jiang Se tonight reminded Xia Chaoqun of the past.
She recalled the time when she worked tirelessly and diligently. She recalled how outsiders had envied her achievements over the years. They saw that she was appreciated by Luo Yin and given Century Galaxy stocks, but no one noticed her efforts and dedication. To this day, she has been able to maintain her success. There is no extra secret, just that she never relaxes.
Xia Chaoqun always thought that she knew Jiang Se well enough. She was born in a humble family, but she was very lucky. She was favored by Hou Xiling, protected by Chang Yuhu, and her boyfriend was also an extraordinary person.
She had always believed that luck was also a kind of strength of Jiang Se, and thought that she had already thought highly of her, but now she found that she had not seen through enough.
Even at this moment, Xia Chaoqun had a subtle feeling in her heart. She had a vague sense of resonance as if she had found a confidant. She felt that Jiang Se was very similar to her. If her strength was revealed in every look, tone and behavior, then Jiang Se's strength was hidden in her bones and displayed at every critical moment.
She showed a sincere smile, and this feeling made Xia Chaoqun very happy. She even felt that her body was filled with a strong desire to fight. The great ambition and desire for challenge from the past came back, and she couldn't help but want to drink a glass of wine.
In fact, she is very restrained in herself and now tries not to touch things that will affect her willpower.
But at this time, she called the name of her assistant Zhang Chi and asked him to pour a glass of wine. She spoke so loudly that she didn't hide it from Jiang Se on the other end of the phone. She asked:
"Sese, how did you do it?"
Jiang Se didn't think too much about it. In fact, she came from Zhongnan Industry. This kind of social interaction and mastering other people's basic information to win their favor was a necessary task for her. She really didn't think it was hard.
She didn't expect Xia Chaoqun to have a good impression of her because of this matter. She just felt that Xia Chaoqun's tone was gentle, and she rarely spoke to her in such a tone.
"If you want to do it, you will do it. I will take another look tonight to see if there is anything I need to add, but it should be fine."
"Well, I will drive to pick you up at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning and go to the venue in the afternoon. You should rest early."
Jiang Se hung up the phone and held the phone in thought for a moment.
Thinking carefully about Xia Chaoqun's words, it is worth pondering. In the past, the job of picking up and dropping off Jiang Se was always done by Mo Anqi.
After all, Xia Chaoqun had two people under him, and Jiang Se knew which one was more important. So most of the time, Xia Chaoqun stayed by Tao Cen's side, and she usually gave instructions on the phone for Jiang Se's work.
But at this time she decided to come and pick me up in person. Does it mean that Xia Chaoqun intends to shift the focus of his future work to me
The room was heated, and she looked at her reflection in the glass and smiled. (To be continued)
