Cesare made a lot of preparations for filming "Prisoners". He was passionate about the novel, and he was not an inexperienced new director. He knew how to balance the audience's tastes with his own interests and hobbies.
Jiang Se always had a feeling that if she could use this incident to win more favor from Cesare, it might not be a pity that she couldn't star in "The Lost City" this time.
After saying good night to Xia Chaoqun, she hung up the phone and prepared to go to bed. However, her phone was still on and Pei Yi called again.
"Sese." His voice was low, and the moment he called out Jiang Se's name, Jiang Se felt his whole body go limp:
"You were on the news today. What happened?"
He is in Guangzhou, but he must read every piece of news about Jiang Se.
Jiang Se was on the front page of the news today, but the news was suddenly removed. In the end, no news could be found on the Internet. Pei Yi felt that something was not right, so he took the time to call him before going to bed.
When talking about this with Xia Chaoqun, Jiang Se was still able to remain calm and was able to think of ways to turn the worst situation into one that was beneficial to her. However, when Pei Yi called her and asked her about this, Jiang Se suddenly felt her eyes sore.
"It's okay." She shook her head out of habit at first, but then she thought that he called her because he cared about her. She couldn't hide everything from him and isolate him.
This habit of hers was not good. She couldn't always let Pei Yi guess about things. She thought about the relationship between her and her grandfather. There were many opportunities to talk about many things, but because of her personality, there were many misunderstandings between the grandfather and grandson.
Jiang Se doesn't want the same situation to happen between herself and Pei Yi. God won't always give her chances, and she should change some habits.
She hesitated for a moment, and tried to open up to him what was in her mind:
"It's just that not long after you boarded the plane last night, Cesare sent me a message, mentioning his new film that was about to start shooting. There was a role in the film that was very suitable for me, and asked if I was interested."
Pei Yi knew her personality best. She seldom complained to others and liked to keep everything to herself.
Although he didn't understand why she would tell him such a thing, Pei Yi still suppressed his joy and replied softly, "Yeah."
His tone was so gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing her, afraid that she would wrap herself up again the next moment.
"The matter was originally kept secret, but it was photographed by reporters and widely publicized, and ultimately the opportunity to film was lost."
Jiang Se briefly recounted the incident, and Pei Yi became furious:
"I just feel like something is wrong! What's going on with Nie Dan and the others?"
He had only been back in Guangzhou for one day, and something like this happened. Pei Yiren was not stupid. From Jiang Se mentioning that Cesare was about to start shooting his new film, to him missing the opportunity because of the big news, there must be someone behind this, "Maybe he wanted to grab this opportunity."
"I see."
Jiang Se could naturally figure out what Pei Yi could figure out. She even had a vague suspicion in her heart. She was afraid that Century Galaxy and Xia Chaoqun should know who did it, so Century Galaxy wanted to compensate her and asked her if she was willing to take on Ning Zhanping's new film.
This is Luo Yin trying to strike a balance.
"I'll help you get revenge later!" Pei Yi gritted his teeth, "I don't believe it. I've only been gone for a short time..."
"No need." Jiang Se shook his head, smiled, pulled the pillow, and lay down:
"I'll do this myself."
In fact, there will be people vying for movie roles before they are confirmed, especially since the opportunity of "The Lost City" is rare, so it is normal for some people to use some means to get it.
It's just that everything has been going smoothly for her since she entered the industry, and this is the first time she has encountered such a thing.
"Do you still remember Yao Xiang?"
Jiang Se's voice was delicate, with cautious trust in him. At this moment, he actually felt that she should just call him, but maybe it was because the weather in Guangzhou was too good tonight and the night was too beautiful, her gentle words rang in his ears through the cold phone, intoxicating him.
Even if she mentioned someone else's name, Pei Yi felt that as long as she talked to him, he liked everything.
"Of course I remember."
Yao Xiang was not an important person, but he made Pei Yi unforgettable.
The first time he dealt with Jiang Se after his rebirth was related to Yao Xiang, who harassed Jiang Se in the elevator.
When Pei Yi was investigating Yao Xiang afterwards, he felt scared every time he thought of this incident. For the first time, he was glad that he had a bad temper at that time and started a fight with Yao Xiang over a disagreement.
Otherwise, given this villain's character, Jiang Se would have suffered some losses. If they hadn't dealt with each other at that time, and if Nie Dan hadn't been inspired to investigate afterwards, he might not have noticed Jiang Se at all. Given her personality, she might have never had anything to do with him for the rest of her life.
"I saw his photo today, when he was taken away by the police."
Pei Yi said without hesitation:
"He deserves it!"
Yao Xiang is not a good person and has a bad reputation in the circle. It is only natural that he ended up like this.
In fact, Nie Dan has been looking for trouble with him for more than a year. This time, Xia Chaoqun deliberately wanted to make news to cover up the meeting between Jiang Se and Cesare. The reason why it was so smooth was inseparable from Nie Dan's help behind the scenes.
"Whether he deserved it or not is not the point for now. I remember that when I met Yao Xiang, it was the second drama I took on."
She met Yao Xiang on the set. At that time, Yao Xiang was the producer of the crew of "Fake Becomes Reality". He was in a high position. "Dai Jia offended him at that time, and the role she got was replaced by someone else."
Yao Xiang was once so glorious, but now, after only a few years, he has become a stepping stone and entered the prison cell.
Yao Xiang’s incident also gave Jiang Se a reminder that nothing is constant. Today she was too outstanding and blocked the way for others, but she was not in a high enough position and was bullied. Who knows if one day someone else will fall into the same trap
The two of them talked while leaning against their phones. For the first time, she tried hard to show Pei Yi her true thoughts. She mentioned to him that she would be doing an internship in the second half of the year, the book she had read recently, and her desire for "Prisoners".
The more she talked, the more Pei Yi was reluctant to hang up the phone. He once again felt that he was really too far away from Jiang Se.
He wanted to touch her, hold her hand, kiss her, see the expression on her face when she spoke, and smell the fragrance of her body.
There was a hint of sleepiness in her voice. When she was not working, she always went to bed early. The two of them chatted for nearly an hour without realizing it, and it was almost one o'clock.
"Sese, are you going to sleep?"
"Um."
Her voice was weak, and the hum was like a brush with a hook, which passed through the microphone into his ears, swept lightly, and hooked his heart.
He couldn't help pressing the phone tightly, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all. He wanted to chat with her for a few more words, but he couldn't bear to listen to her forced tone. (To be continued)
