When Xia Chaoqun said this, Jiang Se vaguely understood what she meant.
Mo Anqi was listening with great interest, looking very happy. She was obviously very proud that Tao Cen, who had snatched Jiang Se's role, was abandoned by Zhang Jing'an. However, Jiang Se said:
"Sister Chaoqun means that I have a good chance of getting this role?"
Such an opportunity is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Xia Chaoqun smiled and nodded. What she liked most about Jiang Se was his cleverness.
She didn't need to say it too clearly, she already thought the same thing as him.
"Yes."
Xia Chaoqun lifted her neat short hair. Zhang Jing'an kicked Tao Cen out of the crew, which might offend Century Galaxy, but Zhang Jing'an would definitely not offend Century Galaxy, so Tao Cen did not get the chance, and his heroine might still be chosen from Century Galaxy.
"After all, no matter what, the chairman did owe IMAX a favor when he discussed the screening rate of "The Rescue" with it, and Zhang Jing'an needs to repay it."
It can be said that as long as Jiang Se’s performance is not too bad, and as long as her attitude is not as unbearable to Zhang Jingan as Tao Cen’s, she will most likely be the heroine of Zhang Jingan’s next play.
"Taocen has been negotiating with Zhang Jingan about this matter."
After all, it was great that Tao Cen could film Cesare's drama, but she certainly didn't want to miss Zhang Jing'an's movie, so after she signed the agreement with Cesare's crew, she delayed the matter for a long time until recently when they really couldn't reach an agreement.
Zhang Jingan's film is also going to start shooting this year. "The chairman has met with Zhang Jingan several times before, but Luo Ao still can't handle this matter."
Xia Chaoqun put the coffee cup aside:
"But in the end, Tao Cen still lost the role. Because of Zhang Jing'an's temper, he insisted that she make a choice between the two crews." It's not that Zhang Jing'an deliberately retaliated against Tao Cen, but because Zhang Jing'an had a special requirement for the heroine. "It is said that his next play has certain requirements for the image of the heroine. The script was written by him, so he required the heroine to receive at least two to three months of systematic training before joining the crew, such as image and temperament, and some simple skills to meet his requirements."
Obviously, Tao Cen couldn't do this. Xia Chaoqun raised his head, looked at Jiang Se and said:
"And you can."
She picked up a pile of documents on the desk and spoke very quickly:
"Except for the invitation letter from Steinay, I have not accepted any additional work for you. You cannot stop taking classes until you sign the film contract. Be prepared to ask for leave from school."
After explaining everything, Jiang Se nodded. She couldn't help feeling a headache when she heard that she had to ask for leave from school again.
Although she had not fallen behind in her studies, the professors in the department had vaguely mentioned this to her several times because she had taken too many leaves. However, after entering this industry, Jiang Se was mentally prepared for such a situation, so she still agreed.
After finishing the serious business, Xia Chaoqun rarely talked about anything unrelated to work.
"Taocen lost money this time when he took over Cesare's movie."
Zhang Chi poured her another cup of coffee. She didn't drink it this time, but stirred it gently with a spoon, a little lazily:
"European and American crews have always been xenophobic. Although she got this opportunity, it is not easy for Chinese people to get along abroad." It is right for her to want to climb up, but she is a little too eager.
Instead of participating in such commercial films, it is better to play a more distinctive role, which will leave a deep impression on foreign audiences.
In such commercial blockbusters, the most outstanding characters are the male and female protagonists, as well as the biggest villain. Even if a supporting role like Tao Cen can become popular for a while by virtue of his special identity as a Chinese actor, it is difficult for people to remember him.
Her foundation is too weak, and the European and American film markets are too xenophobic to Chinese actors. It is a pity that Zhang Jingan lost the opportunity to appear in a movie.
"What do you mean?"
Jiang Se leaned back, leaning against the armrest of the sofa, and asked Xia Chaoqun. Xia Chaoqun held the coffee cup in one hand and tapped the cup with the other:
"From a more realistic perspective, judging from the pay alone, her pay for filming Zhang Jing'an's movie will not be lower than Liu Ye's."
Xia Chaoqun did not mention Tao Cen's specific remuneration, but only mentioned Liu Ye.
Jiang Se also knew how much Liu Ye's pay was.
When he starred in "The Devil", he pocketed 70 million. If Tao Cen's salary was also at this price, then she missed Zhang Jing'an's movie, and she missed the 70 million in the second half of this year.
"Although the movie she took on, 'Lost City', is a big production, she is a new face. I guess her salary is no more than this figure."
Xia Chaoqun stretched out his hand and pointed to the number "two", which of course could not be two million US dollars.
After all, Tao Cen is just a supporting role in the movie, with few scenes, and Tao Cen is not very famous in Europe and the United States, so although Jiang Se found it unbelievable, he still asked:
"Two hundred thousand dollars?"
"Um."
Xia Chaoqun nodded and acknowledged her speculation.
So from the perspective of money, Tao Cen threw away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds, throwing away nearly 70 million in film remuneration to take a job worth 200,000 US dollars.
However, Tao Cen has been in the industry for many years and is not short of money. What she lacks is an opportunity to enter Europe and the United States. So it depends on whether she personally thinks it is worth it. After all, everyone's needs are different.
Xia Chaoqun looked at Jiang Se:
"But if you can seize this opportunity, it will be very beneficial to you. Your salary should increase compared to the Devil period."
Most importantly, Jiang Se shot two high-quality films in succession and collaborated with the film emperor Liu Ye twice, which greatly helped to increase Jiang Se's fame and status.
She didn't need to explain it in detail. She believed that Jiang Se could analyze it well and understand what to do. Xia Chaoqun said meaningfully:
"Prepare well."
Although Xia Chaoqun mentioned that Jiang Se should prepare well, in fact, without a script, she had no idea what type of heroine Zhang Jingan would play in her next movie.
At present, the conversation with Xia Chaoqun only allowed her to know some more inside information. She had an idea in her mind, but Jiang Se had no idea how to prepare. Since she couldn't figure it out, she gave up thinking about it.
When Jiang Se was about to leave, Xia Chaoqun pointed to the pile of information in front of him:
"Take these back and have a look."
Each of those documents was marked with detailed information about major brands. Jiang Se pulled out a document about one of the top French cosmetics brands, which included the name and preferences of the person in charge in China, as well as the brand history. There were nearly seven or eight pages of information printed out. (To be continued)
