Tao Cen's actions at the time may have led Cesare to misunderstand that Jiang Se was using him to hype up his own value, causing Jiang Se to lose the opportunity to star in "The Lost City". Nearly two years have passed, and the two have never had any private contact again.
Jiang Se did not explain it at the time, which may have caused the misunderstanding to deepen.
Mo Anqi also saw Xia Chaoqun's plan for Jiang Se. Jiang Se would go international sooner or later. If she offended Cesare, it would undoubtedly be very detrimental to her future development.
No one can tell what kind of blow Cesare's misunderstanding of her will bring to Jiang Se in the future.
In Europe and the United States, Cesare has a very good reputation in terms of connections, status and in the hearts of audiences and fans. It will only be beneficial for Jiang Se to establish a good relationship with him.
What's more, he is one of the award presenters at this film festival. He is a frequent guest at the French Film Festival and is quite familiar with the judges here. His attitude is very likely to affect Jiang Se's final achievements at the film festival. He is one of the people who needs to be pleased.
After Mo Anqi said this, Xia Chaoqun did not say anything.
The studio employees looked at each other in bewilderment. They could write press releases for Jiang Se and resolve public relations crises, but when it came to some necessary interpersonal relationships, they had to rely on Jiang Se himself.
"I heard that Miss Taozen had already contacted Cesare a few days ago and made an appointment to have lunch together tomorrow."
Xia Chaoqun's assistant Zhang Chi couldn't help but tell the news he had heard, and the room became even quieter.
At the French Film Festival, Hua Xia unexpectedly had two films shortlisted for the finals this year. In addition to "Devil", "Accident" starring Tao Cen was also shortlisted.
She also had a great advantage. Her intentions were obvious when she met with Cesare at this time.
The anxiety on Mo Anqi's face deepened. She was about to speak, but Jiang Se shook his head and said, "No hurry."
This time when she went to France to attend the film festival, she was actually prepared to deal with Cesare.
When she came to France, she brought the original version of "Prisoners" that Cesare lent her that day. Cesare could be angry with her and not want to see a star like her whom he didn't want to pay any attention to at all, but he would definitely want to get back this extremely precious book of his, the first edition of the novel signed by Matthe, the author of "Prisoners". When he lent it to Jiang Se, he was even reluctant to let others take it or to check it in. He cherished this novel so much that he would definitely want it back.
In the following time, Xia Chaoqun convened several staff members to have a small discussion about Jiang Se's work arrangements after the film festival, and did not mention Cesare again.
The next morning, Jiang Se changed into a dress and went to the Film Palace early.
It was not difficult to find out Cesare's location. As one of the big directors who arrived late this year, he was always the focus of everyone's discussion. When Jiang Se found him, he was in the largest theater in the Movie Palace. In addition to the staff, he was surrounded by Tao Cen and others.
The journalists sitting in the distance were staring at this side. In addition to the Chinese media, there were also a large number of foreign media. Although it was not convenient to take pictures in the theater, most people had already memorized this scene firmly in their hearts with their eyes.
When Jiang Se came in, he attracted a lot of media attention.
This Chinese girl has been very popular abroad recently. The surge in sales of "Movie Talk" magazine has increased her fame, and her subsequent series of interviews have also increased her exposure. When she came in, many domestic and foreign media focused their attention on her.
She wore a champagne-colored off-shoulder long dress with a deep V back, which rarely revealed the beautiful lines of her back, and was very charming.
Many people who had recently interviewed Jiang Se were about to come forward to say hello to her, and some people also wanted to make another appointment with Jiang Se for an interview, but were blocked by Mo Anqi. When Jiang Se saw Cesare, a smile appeared on her face and she walked straight towards him.
Everyone's eyes fell on her, and they were quite surprised when they saw this scene.
This slightly famous Chinese actress seemed to be heading for Cesare recently. This director is not easy to get close to, and because of his fame, he should be used to stars coming up to him and saying hello.
Many people even secretly waited to see Jiang Se's embarrassing look when he was ignored and rejected by Cesare, and felt a little excited. Once the news spread, it would be big news again.
Some of the thoughts of the people around were revealed in their whispers, and some people even took out their mobile phones, ready to take secret photos in such an occasion regardless of the rules.
Mo Anqi's palms also showed some cold sweat. The message sent by Jiang Se and Cesare last night fell on deaf ears and no reply has been received so far. This is definitely not good news.
But today Jiang Se came here to meet Cesare instead of communicating privately. There were many people watching him and many media reporters around. Mo Anqi was worried for Jiang Se, but she bravely went up to him.
"Hi, Cesare."
When Jiang Se came over, Cesare's assistant did not come over to stop her, perhaps because the seats in the cinema were not very convenient to move around.
Tao Cen sat next to Cesare with a smile on her face. When Jiang Se came over to greet Cesare, the two even nodded and smiled at each other. She retracted her legs.
Cesare stopped chatting with the staff next to him and turned to look at Jiang Se.
This Chinese girl possessed extraordinary courage. He knew that she had become somewhat famous recently, but when she came over to greet him, she was very frank, as if she was not afraid of being ridiculed and mocked by the media at all.
I originally thought that since I ignored her message last night, she wouldn't have the courage to take the initiative to say hello to me, but she still came.
Cesare paused for a while. He could almost hear the whispers of discussion around him. Jiang Se stretched out her hand and looked at him with a smile. She looked calm, as if she had not remembered the embarrassment of having asked her to film "The Lost City" but ended up replacing her with someone else.
After a while, when many people began to laugh at Jiang Se in their hearts, Cesare reached out his hand, held Jiang Se's palm, stood up, hugged her warmly, and kissed her on the cheek:
"Jiang, nice to see you again."
His attitude surprised the media personnel around him, and exclamations were heard from the theater from time to time.
Tao Cen, who was sitting next to him, kept smiling, but his hands on his legs were clenched into fists and he frowned slightly.
She didn't expect that after the incident in which Cesare and Jiang Se's secret meeting was exposed, the relationship between Cesare and Jiang Se was still so close.
She and Cesare had worked together on "The Lost City", but when they met at the French Film Festival, Cesare just smiled and shook hands with her and talked politely. Now Cesare was so enthusiastic when he met Jiang Se, which was beyond Tao Cen's expectations. This made her re-evaluate the relationship between Jiang Se and Cesare in her heart. (To be continued)
