In the past six months, Xia Chaoqun has not mentioned anything about filming a movie to Jiang Se. He must have kept all the news secret.
Jiang Se straightened his hair and wiped his face:
“Not considering it for now.”
She also has to finish writing her internship report for school first, as it is related to her minor major. As for the new movie, she will talk about it after she has calmed down for a while.
Mo Anqi responded, she thought for a moment, and then glanced at Jiang Se through the rearview mirror:
"By the way, Sese, have you seen in Anyang that Huandao and Bojier have announced the filming of "The Lost City"?"
Mo Anqi looked a little uneasy, Jiang Se raised his head, and their eyes met in the mirror. The sympathy in her eyes was obvious, and Jiang Se smiled:
“Yes.”
Around Christmas, the crew of "The Lost City" was announced to be formed. The official account has been opened and the cast has been announced on Cesare's Twitter.
As Jiang Se expected, she lost the opportunity to film "The Lost City".
In addition to the collaboration between the two popular Hollywood male and female stars that Cesare talked to her about that day, there is indeed a Chinese face in the cast of "The Lost City". That should be what Cesare told her, a face representing exotic style needed in "The Lost City".
That role was once very close to Jiang Se and almost belonged to her, but in the list of actors announced later, that role belonged to Tao Cen.
Afterwards, someone mentioned the meeting between Jiang Se and Cesare on the Internet. Some netizens made a joke of it and said that it was Xia Chaoqun who directed Jiang Se's team to suppress the matter. Later, the foreign company Huandao Entertainment bought the copyright of "Caring", and then this old news was successfully suppressed.
When Mo Anqi saw the news, she almost jumped up, and it took her a long time to convince herself to accept it.
"You're not angry?"
Jiang Se's expression was too calm, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry. She lowered her head and looked through the documents in her hand. Her shadow was clearly reflected in the mirror. Her lips, which were only coated with lip balm, had a pink luster, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, with the arc of a smile.
While driving, Mo Anqi guessed that she was not as annoyed as before about this matter because time had passed, or she really didn't care much.
"What's there to be angry about?"
Jiang Se took out a pen and marked the information of this archaeological internship, while explaining to Mo Anqi:
"Drive steadily."
"Yes." Mo Anqi agreed and said:
"But it was Tao Cen who stole your corner."
When Mo Anqi mentioned this, she was still a little indignant, but Jiang Se said:
"I knew it was her."
Jiang Se guessed it after it happened.
It is impossible for an average person to hide the fact from Xia Chaoqun, allowing the reporter from China Information to capture such a news story, and still publish the news story even though Xia Chaoqun knew about it.
What's more, anyone who can do such a thing must have some ulterior motive.
Either pull her down and move up yourself, or step on her and use her as a stepping stone.
Given Jiang Se's current situation, there are not many people who are qualified to be her stepping stone. After eliminating them one by one, the only remaining situation is that someone also saw the opportunity that Jiang Se got at that time and wanted to replace her.
What kind of person could work with a world-renowned director like Cesare after pulling her off
There are not many such people among Chinese female stars.
Not to mention Century Galaxy's subsequent compensatory actions. Xia Chaoqun mentioned at the time that the company would try its best to win the Best Actress Award for her at the next China International Film Festival. Jiang Se understood this even if he was stupid.
Mo Anqi was still muttering:
"I never thought it would be her. They are from the same company..."
"It's normal." Jiang Se replied to her, and she was puzzled:
"How can it be normal?"
"Angie, you were also in this business before you returned to China, so you should be very familiar with the rules of this business."
Jiang Se put away his pen and closed the information. "Just like when I was filming "About My Love for You", I was not the heroine at the beginning."
It’s just that Xia Chaoqun and Century Galaxy are very capable and they managed to get this role.
It was Tao Cen's own ability that she got the role in "The Lost City". If she wants to enter Europe and the United States and develop into an international movie star, she must strive for every opportunity. From Tao Cen's point of view, everyone is just relying on their own abilities, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Xia Chaoqun probably guessed it, but she understood the rules of this industry, so she never mentioned it afterwards.
After comforting the still unhappy assistant, Jiang Se went home and had a good rest for a day. Before he could catch his breath, Xia Chaoqun arrived.
Once I returned to the capital, the workload naturally piled up.
She hasn't appeared in public for a long time. Although she had a movie released earlier and is still famous, the impact of "About I Love You" is still limited.
In addition to the daily classes that continued, Xia Chaoqun also added an additional ballet training program for Jiang Se.
"And the script, which was selected by the company. I have read it."
Zhang Chi behind her put the pile of scripts in his arms on the table. Xia Chaoqun said:
"You have to pick at least one of them."
Xia Chaoqun spoke calmly:
"You didn't get enough exposure in the first half of the year. Zhao Rang has already discussed this with me, Yang Boxi, and the people from the investment company regarding Devil."
Zhao Rang plans to postpone the release of this film and participate in the French Film Festival at the end of the year in the hope of winning an award. "Demons" is scheduled to be released worldwide early next year.
In other words, Jiang Se has no works released throughout this year because she has filmed too few movies.
She had two movies released in succession this year, and her fame soared, but audiences have short memories and the competition in this industry is also very fierce. This year, audiences remember her because of her works. If she doesn't have any works and exposure to support her in the future, her fans may have turned to other stars next year.
She has not yet reached the level of Tao Cen and Liu Ye, and still needs subsequent works to establish her status.
In addition to selecting the script, Xia Chaoqun arranged two charity galas and commercial activities for her during this month.
Zhang Chi also sent a form that Xia Chaoqun had prepared in advance, which fully listed all the things she needed to do every day in the next three months.
"I've also looked at the advertising endorsements for you."
After Jiang Se became famous, many manufacturers wanted to cooperate with her.
The Adeele denim series that she endorsed is now selling very well. As Jiang Se's fame grew, Adeele, a light luxury brand that had just entered the Chinese market, also became very popular and successfully opened up the Chinese market. Many flagship stores were opened in the country one after another, and sales were good in various places.
With such a good example, many manufacturers came to negotiate with him, but Xia Chaoqun rejected most of them. (To be continued)
