"Yes." Jiang Se nodded. After filming "A Glimmer of Hope", she had no time to return to the capital. The new products of Federer watches were about to be launched on the market. Earlier, Xia Chaoqun used her friendship with Ms. Federer to secure her an interview opportunity at the Federer company in France, and tried her best to strive for a cooperative relationship with Federer watches.
At the same time, her endorsement contract with Hong Kong Jewelry has expired. Hong Kong Jewelry Group intends to renew the contract and has contacted Xia Chaoqun for a long time. However, since the second half of last year, she has been unable to get away.
Xia Chaoqun also secured her a photo shoot for the inside pages of a French magazine. Most importantly, the French Film Festival was approaching, and the film "Devil", which she had previously collaborated with Liu Ye on, would finally be released simultaneously around the world after participating in the film festival, after more than a year of post-production editing and production.
Jiang Se will be very busy in the coming period, so busy that he will have no time to return to the imperial capital.
Xia Chaoqun suggested that she stay in Shanghai for a few days, have a good rest and adjust her state, and then rush to France to plunge into the intensive work.
“After that, I went to France to work and attend a film festival.”
Although Zhang Jing'an did not have any works at this French Film Festival, he should have received an invitation given his international fame.
During the filming of "A Glimmer of Hope", Jiang Se became familiar with the crew and heard them discussing privately that if it were not for work reasons, Zhang Jing'an would have received an invitation to be a judge at this French Film Festival.
"Congratulations. If you need my help, don't hesitate to ask me." Zhang Jing'an hugged her. "I believe that "Devil" will be a big hit at the film festival. Sese, your performance is very contagious."
Jiang Se was naturally happy to receive praise from Zhang Jing'an. This great director was very strict at work, but he was very protective of his subordinates outside of work.
He recognized Jiang Se's acting skills in "A Glimmer of Hope" and naturally thought that her performance in "Devil" should be very outstanding. "If I were a judge at the French Film Festival this time, I would definitely vote for you."
Jiang Se also laughed:
“Believe me, if you had a film submitted to a film festival this year, many judges would say the same thing you are saying right now.”
Zhang Jing'an's name is sometimes a guarantee of quality films.
Jiang Se's compliment made Zhang Jing'an laugh. He chatted with Jiang Se for a few more words before leaving at the request of his assistant.
After Zhang Jing'an left, Mo Anqi caught up and told Jiang Se about the itinerary for the next two days.
Century Galaxy knew that Jiang Se was about to go to France to attend the film festival. The company naturally knew the importance of the film festival. Half a year ago, it had booked a hotel and air tickets for Jiang Se in France, and the visa had been processed. After Xia Chaoqun communicated with the company yesterday, people in the company had already sent Jiang Se's information to Shanghai, and they were just waiting for him to depart.
If Jiang Se can shine with his performance in "Devil" at the French Film Festival, there is no doubt that it will be beneficial to Jiang Se's future development prospects. The company has also made full preparations for this.
As early as last year, people were sent to France to inquire about the names of the film festival judges, hoping to win the judges' favor for Jiang Se.
After saying this, Mo Anqi said:
"Sese, it seems that Director Zhang likes you very much. I guess he won't have to wait for the next movie like he did for "A Silver Lining". He might contact you directly."
Most of these great directors have strange tempers, are not easy to get close to, and have their own principles in dealing with people and things. It is not easy to win their favor.
But Jiang Se has a very good popularity. After each filming, few directors have a bad impression of her. From Zhao Rang in the past to Zhang Jingan now, they all have a good relationship with Jiang Se.
Jiang Se had no intention of discussing this matter with Mo Anqi, and she quickly changed the subject.
The trip to France was scheduled for three days later. Before that, Xia Chaoqun arranged a beauty spa for her so that she could be in the best condition for the upcoming interview with Federer's senior management.
Jiang Se plans to stay in France for one and a half months this time, and the film festival will take up half of that month.
After her rebirth, she came to France for work again. After the plane landed, the company's people had already rented a car to pick up Jiang Se.
Jiang Se will be staying in France for a long time and has a lot of luggage. Xia Chaoqun and Mo Anqi are each pushing five or six large boxes. These luggage are only a part of Jiang Se's belongings. Most of the dresses she will wear at the film festival have been prepared in advance and brought to France by her work styling team two days ago.
Perhaps because the film festival was still nearly a month away, there were not many news media people around the airport. When she returned to the hotel, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Jiang Se declined Mo Anqi's request to go out for a walk and prepared to wash up and go to bed early. Xia Chaoqun scheduled a meeting between her and the senior management of Federer's company for ten o'clock the next morning. She needed to face it in a better state and try her best to get this hard-won opportunity.
Xia Chaoqun talked to her and even if she couldn't get the endorsement of Federer's new series of watches, she would try her best to get the contract of her best friend.
Among the stars that Federer's watches have worked with before, there have been no Asians. Once Jiang Se gets this contract, it will definitely cause a sensation in the industry and will even bring her countless opportunities.
The importance of this interview can be imagined. Jiang Se took a day off. Although the appointment time was at ten o'clock in the morning, it was necessary to put on makeup and dress up before leaving.
Jiang Se had to get up at six o'clock. Fortunately, she had no work for the past two days and went to bed early. After having a light breakfast and putting on makeup, she was full of energy, and her eyes were clear and black and white without any bloodshot, which made Xia Chaoqun very satisfied.
Originally, I thought that Federer's company would not take this meeting very seriously. After all, although Jiang Se is well-known in China, her international reputation is a little weaker. Although her resume shows that she participated in the filming of "A Glimmer of Hope" invested in by the large foreign investment company Global Pictures, the film has just been completed and the effect has not been seen.
Jiang Se originally thought that with his qualifications and status, no more than three people from Federer's company would meet with him.
But when she arrived at Federer Company and told her name, and waited for the operator to contact the company's secretary's office, Jiang Se was led upstairs. The smart and capable female secretary opened the door of the reception room, and there were nearly a dozen people from Federer Company sitting inside. It was obvious that they really wanted to interview her, not just perfunctorily. (To be continued)
