During the award ceremony, Jiang Se saw Tao Cen from afar. Most of the time he saw her in the news and movies. She was nearly 1.7 meters tall and quite talkative. She quickly started a conversation with Cesare. Especially before she came to the film festival, she had obviously put in a lot of effort. When talking to Cesare, she even used some simple Italian terms, which made Cesare start talking to her.
She is now exploring foreign markets, and the opportunity to meet and make friends with a director like Cesare is rare, but after chatting for a few minutes, she looked at Jiang Se and said with a smile:
"Mr. Rossi and Miss Jiang should have something to discuss."
After seeing Cesare nod, Taozen did not insist.
She was quite tactful and naturally exchanged contact information with Cesare. She looked at Jiang Se, pulled her clothes, and left first.
Cesare then showed an apologetic look, "Sorry for the wait."
In fact, Tao Cen did not delay Jiang Se for long. She just took this opportunity to get to know Cesare, got his contact information and then left. However, Cesare's apology made Jiang Se smile:
"In fact, I didn't feel I had to wait too long. It was very interesting to listen to your conversation. Moreover, I had such a rare opportunity to learn Italian. I felt that the time was too short."
Cesare laughed out loud and spread his hands:
"The original version of "Prisoners" is a good opportunity for you, Jiang, to learn well."
Jiang Se remembered what Jason said before and smiled slightly:
"The novel "Prisoners" contains some religious terms. After being translated into English, it loses a certain sense of it. If there are any parts that I don't understand, I wonder if I can trouble you again in the future?"
"What's so difficult about that?"
Cesare nodded readily. After exchanging contact information, Jiang Se was not like Tao Cen. She did not stay and pester Cesare because of his identity. Instead, she chose to leave first. After she left, Jason whispered:
"Cesare, I'm so sorry."
He coughed and pulled his tie:
"I told this girl earlier that you loved Prisoners very much and that you were planning to make it into a movie."
Jason looked annoyed and a little uneasy:
"I didn't expect she could understand."
He spoke too fast and with some Italian-specific speaking habits, for example, R was pronounced directly with a large tongue sound, which caused certain difficulties in listening. He originally thought that Jiang Se might not be able to understand what he was saying, but Jiang Se not only understood it, but also had a conversation with him for a few sentences.
Cesare was stunned for a moment. Jason was still apologizing:
"I'm sorry."
Cesare shook his head, thinking of what Jiang Se had mentioned earlier about the trouble he had caused, and couldn't help but smile:
"What a clever girl."
He did have the idea of bringing "Prisoners" to the big screen. After his assistant Jason accidentally revealed his plan, Jiang Se did not show any greed, but kept in touch with him in other ways. Even though he revealed a little ambition, this method was not offensive.
She didn't even have the intention of hiding anything, and on the contrary, this frankness made Cesare like her even more.
"But I'm worried that she will use this opportunity to get closer to you and ask for a role."
Jason was still a little uneasy, but Cesare said:
"Every year, many people want to get closer to me, and many people want to ask for roles."
But not many can succeed. "Besides, bringing Prisoners to the screen is just a wish of mine. I don't know when it can be realized. Even if it can be realized, she will get closer to me, which is another opportunity. I will also get to know her, which is also another opportunity to choose. It does not harm either of us. If this lady has real talent and knowledge, she doesn't have to think of any tricks, I will still use her. Of course, if she is just a show-off, no matter how many tricks she has, it will only be a waste of our time. I believe she should understand."
He paused, "But in this film festival, among the several films, one of hers performed really well."
After saying this, Cesare patted Jason on the shoulder.
When Jiang Se left the backstage of the venue, Mo Anqi looked at the time. It was almost half past ten, and there were still about ten minutes before the interview time arranged by Xia Chaoqun. Although the interview place was not far from the venue, it took seven or eight minutes to drive there. The most important thing was that Jiang Se still had to change clothes and style his hair. It was obviously a little late at this time.
When Jiang Se first came out, he kept a leisurely pace, but as soon as he left the venue, he started running.
Mo Anqi also followed her. While Jiang Se was taking off her hair, she asked Mo Anqi to call the stylist and makeup artist to wait in the car. After getting in the car, the two of them were already waiting in the car.
Jiang Se pulled the curtain in the middle of the seat and made sure the car window was closed. Then the makeup artist spread out a large blanket, wrapped Jiang Se's body, asked her to take off her dress, and changed into another dress prepared by Liu Lizhi. She had already applied the base for her makeup, so only the details needed to be changed. As for her hair, it was impossible to blow-dry it at this moment, so she could only tie it up.
When Jiang Se arrived at the interview location, he was not early, but he was not late either.
Although Jiang Se was nominated four times for his two films tonight, he accepted the interview on time and did not act like a big shot. Mo Anqi simply checked that the accompanying reporters and photographers did not have any dangerous items on them, and did not even search for any hidden equipment. She quickly started the interview session. This behavior made the reporter specifically mention this point when he came in to meet Jiang Se.
Most celebrities are afraid that reporters will install additional hidden camera equipment because the interview process can be very long, especially after attending a grand event like a film festival, when people are highly concentrated and are very likely to show signs of fatigue.
This kind of attitude doesn't look good on screen.
Therefore, during interviews at this time, most reporters are used to the assistants around the stars checking their equipment again and again, for fear that someone might secretly take photos and cause a bad impact on the stars.
"But when we came in, the assistant beside you didn't check this."
Xia Chaoqun arranged three interviews for her, all of which were from domestic media resources with large traffic. The first one that came in was a new media under China's largest and most authoritative Hua Xia Information. The reporter was a woman in her thirties with short hair. Jiang Se glanced at her work badge, which had her name on it: Chen Ran.
Chen Ran's question also brought up a joke. Generally, celebrities' answers are nothing more than the same few things. They either show their emotional intelligence and trust in reporters, believing that reporters would not do such unethical things, or they show their etiquette and education and prove that they can withstand being secretly photographed.
Normally, after such an answer, the interview officially began. However, Jiang Se did not answer Chen Ran's question as she expected. Instead, she was stunned for a moment:
"Is there such a rule? How about you guys go out first and we do it again?"
"Puff", not only Chen Ran was stunned, even the photographer and trainee reporter who followed her in couldn't help but burst out laughing. (To be continued)
