Of course there would be no problem for Jiang Se. Being able to star in Zhang Jing'an's movie was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not to mention that she didn't have much work at the moment, even if she had wanted to take on other movies before, she would have to put them aside for the time being.
The two sides probably reached a consensus here. Zhang Jing'an was obviously satisfied with this meeting. He chatted with Jiang Se for a while. Finally, Lin Siyi reminded him in a low voice that he had an appointment with someone later. He raised his wrist to check the time and realized that the one and a half hour meeting with Jiang Se had already passed.
When she came out of Zhang Jing'an's studio, the sun was shining brightly outside. Mo Anqi was obviously in a good mood. She was holding a lot of bags and opened the car door for Jiang Se and Xia Chaoqun with one hand with some difficulty:
"From what Director Zhang said this time, it should be no problem for you, Sese, to get the role."
During the audition, Mo Anqi stole a glance at Zhang Jing'an's face several times. He was very satisfied with Jiang Se's audition and they talked about the contract. Mo Anqi could almost imagine that after Jiang Se finished filming Zhang Jing'an's movie, his fame and status would take a big step forward in the future.
If the contract is signed successfully, apart from the 100 days of training time that Zhang Jing'an intends to arrange for Jiang Se, the shooting time will probably start around early October.
According to the normal film shooting schedule, Jiang Se, as the heroine of the film, should finish filming her scenes at the beginning of next year.
"Once the post-production editing, special effects, and music are completed, maybe I can even participate in the next China Film Festival and win an award at the festival."
Mo Anqi was very happy. Speaking of this, she thought of the movie "Devil". "Sese has just finished filming Director Zhang's movie. It just so happens that Director Zhao will send "Devil" to France to participate in the International Film Festival. If we can win a place then, that would be even better."
For Jiang Se, winning a well-deserved trophy on an international level would be a real reward.
If she had an internationally recognized trophy, losing the opportunity to star in "The Lost City" would not be so regrettable. Once she makes her mark on the international stage, more directors will seek Jiang Se out for collaboration in the future.
The most important thing is that her pay will be much higher than it is now. Even if she cannot compare with Liu Ye in the future, she will definitely not be far behind.
Before Jiang Se could speak, Xia Chaoqun looked at Mo Anqi. She walked around to the other side of the car, opened the door, threw the things in her hand into the passenger seat, closed the door, and then returned to the driver's seat.
As Jiang Se's status gradually rises, her workload will increase in the future, and she may need a reliable assistant.
Mo Anqi graduated from a prestigious university, and currently just doing odd jobs is a bit of a waste of her abilities.
Thinking of this, Xia Chaoqun asked:
"I remember I talked to you before about finding another assistant. Have you made any progress?"
Jiang Se will have a heavy workload in the future, and all kinds of things will come one after another. In addition to being by Jiang Se's side to deal with emergencies, Mo Anqi's abilities, like taking care of Jiang Se personally, are more suitable for finding a new person.
Xia Chaoqun had indeed mentioned this matter to Jiang Se before, but Jiang Se has been extremely busy recently and has no time to spare for this matter.
Mo Anqi's workload is indeed heavier. In addition to contacting manufacturers for Jiang Se, borrowing products sponsored by various big brands, and arranging her travel, she also has to be responsible for some trivial matters in her personal life sometimes, carrying bags for her when she goes out, and working part-time as her nanny, driver, and bodyguard. Mo Anqi once mentioned this jokingly.
When Mo Anqi heard Xia Chaoqun mention finding an assistant, she glanced at Jiang Se through the rearview mirror and waited for her answer with a smile.
The assistant that Xia Chaoqun asked Jiang Se to find was different from her job type. He was to take care of her daily life, fetch her water, hold an umbrella for her, and carry her bags and other things when she went out on the set.
Xia Chaoqun had apparently talked to Mo Anqi about this before, and she did not show any concern about losing her status in front of Jiang Se.
Jiang Se asked:
"Sister Chaoqun, generally speaking, when other celebrities are looking for assistants, where do they choose from?"
Generally, when celebrities look for assistants, they will choose them from their close fans, because fans love celebrities and will take care of them meticulously, and even protect them in every way.
"But I don't recommend you do that."
Many fans have no experience as assistants and rely solely on their love for the stars. Moreover, the turnover rate is too high and it is not easy for them to stabilize.
"If you don't have anyone suitable, I'll keep an eye out for you later."
This is the best. Jiang Se nodded. After Xia Chaoqun finished speaking, he asked:
"Steinay's 30th anniversary celebration, have you ever read the information I gave you?"
Because once Jiang Se comes into contact with Zhang Jing'an, it is very likely that she will have to read the script and character outlines, and the 30th anniversary celebration of Steinay is imminent. If Jiang Se has not started memorizing the information now, it is very likely that she will not have enough time.
Jiang Se nodded:
"I started memorizing the materials the day they were handed to me, and I only have about one-third left."
She always does things that make Xia Chaoqun worry-free. After Xia Chaoqun finished talking about business, he stopped talking. After Mo Anqi in the front seat got in the car and fastened her seat belt, she seemed to remember something and handed Jiang Se's bag back.
Jiang Se's cell phone was in the bag. When she was talking with Zhang Jing'an earlier, she turned her cell phone to silent mode to avoid being distracted by calls.
Now Jiang Se got the bag, took out his cell phone, and saw several missed calls on it at a glance.
In addition to the five calls from Pei Yi that were not answered, there was another call from Dai Jia.
When Jiang Se saw Dai Jia's name, he was stunned.
During the filming of "The Devil", Jiang Se met Dai Jia in the Western Suburbs Women's Prison and asked Nie Dan and others to do her a favor by finding evidence and a lawyer for her so as to exonerate her. After the filming of "The Devil" was completed, Jiang Se never went to the Western Suburbs Women's Prison again.
When she saw Dai Jia calling, she hesitated for a moment, tapped Pei Yi's name with her finger, and dialed Dai Jia's number first.
"Daijia?"
After the phone rang twice, someone picked up the phone. Jiang Se called out Dai Jia's name. After a long while, Dai Jia on the other end said "hmm" softly:
"It's me. I'm out."
She said this with a lot of emotion.
Dai Jia is obviously not very old, but Jiang Se could sense a sense of old age in her voice.
"Jiang Se, I'm out. Thank you so much for finding a lawyer for me and for finding evidence for me."
Her voice was trembling slightly. During these days in prison, she had been holding her breath, always feeling that life was worse than death, but she was unwilling to accept it. (To be continued)
