Chang Yuhu's statement did not cause as much waves at this time as it did back then. After all, Jiang Se is no longer the same person as he was back then. However, her remarks proved that she still cares about Jiang Se.
In addition to reminding people of her words about "holding an umbrella for students", which aroused the nostalgia of many fans, it also stimulated Luo Yin.
The founder of Century Galaxy remained silent and let the situation develop when a dispute broke out between fans of two of his actresses.
He even seemed to be condoning the two actresses' dispute with each other. When the argument became intense online, he did not ask or do anything. However, once Chang Yuhu expressed his stance, Century Galaxy made a public statement.
Luo Ao, who is now managing Century Galaxy on behalf of Luo Yin, personally held a press conference to explain the chairman's physical condition. He also said that since the establishment of the company, it has treated its stars equally and there has been no prejudice.
"Tao Cen and Jiang Se are both the best actors in the company..."
At this time in France, Jiang Se was watching Luo Ao's speech live on the Internet in the hotel and was moved by Chang Yuhu's intervention.
If Chang Yuhu had not intervened, the agency probably would not have made any statement.
In fact, since she signed the contract with Century Galaxy, the company has not actively promoted her development plan. It should be related to the original contract period of Jiang Se. As Luo Ao said at the time, they were afraid that once Jiang Se became famous, she would quit the entertainment industry.
She has the support of Pei Yi, connections with older generations like Chang Yuhu, and was even introduced to the drama circle by Chang Yuhu. She also maintains a pretty good relationship with some people in the Grand Theater.
On the surface, Jiang Se's future seems to be smooth sailing, and these supports can help her to move forward smoothly and develop smoothly.
This was indeed the case in the early days. If Jiang Se didn't have high demands and just wanted to become famous, these would be enough.
But as she grew, these not only failed to help her, but instead became constraints.
Pei Yi comes from a wealthy family, and Jiang Se's contract is too short. Century Galaxy risks praising Jiang Se too much, fearing that once she becomes famous in the future, she will retire and get married.
Therefore, they would rather invest more resources in other stars. As for Jiang Se, they only gave her Xia Chaoqun, and the company did not use many other resources on her. They held an attitude of not suppressing or helping her, but allowing Jiang Se to develop on her own.
When Tao Cen and Jiang Se were competing for the role in "The Lost City", if the company had been more partial to her, the role would not have been taken by Tao Cen, and today there would not be fans of the two groups arguing over who should play the role in "The Lost City".
Jiang Se sees these problems clearly, but she doesn't care. However, she didn't expect that Chang Yuhu would point out the things she didn't care about.
She called Chang Yuhu. It was already evening in China. Chang Yuhu's voice was friendly on the phone and he asked about Jiang Se's recent work.
Since Jiang Se studied with Chang Yuhu for a period of time, the two have maintained a very close relationship. During the holidays, Jiang Se would always go to Chang's house to visit. Even after so many years, no matter how busy she was with her studies or work, she never broke the habit of wishing a happy new year to her elders.
Before she became famous, she did not fawn over others, and after she became famous, she did not look up to others in a condescending manner. It was this attitude that won her more favor from Chang Yuhu.
The two chatted for a while before Jiang Se mentioned the online incident and expressed her gratitude to Chang Yuhu. When Chang Yuhu heard her mention this, he said:
"That's a small matter." She brushed off the question lightly and asked about the movie "Devil":
"I heard Shu Peien mention that he is very optimistic about this movie and thinks you have a great chance of winning an award at this year's French Film Festival. It will be released in China soon, and I also want to go to the cinema to watch your performance. In the Grand Theater, Liang Chunbo said that you had suffered a lot for this role, and you listened to his advice very obediently, which made him feel very accomplished..."
Chang Yuhu's tone was gentle, and Jiang Se felt very comfortable after talking to her on the phone.
Jiang Se also understood the reason why Chang Yuhu said these words to her, he just wanted to reassure her.
Tonight is the last day of the French Film Festival and also the day of the awards ceremony. All the major awards will be announced on this day. Jiang Se can't help but feel a little nervous.
Chang Yuhu specifically mentioned Shu Payne's affirmation of "Devil" and her performance in the play in order to reassure her.
After this phone call, Jiang Se felt much more relaxed. She would do her styling and makeup in the afternoon and attend the closing ceremony of the French Film Festival in the evening. With today's encounter with Cesare and the recent entry of "Demons" into the finals of the film festival, there will be a lot of media attention on her.
Coupled with the seemingly plausible news that she is competing with Tao Zen for the role in "The Lost City", and the fact that "Devils" and "The Accident" are competing for awards, there can be no room for error tonight.
The whole afternoon was spent on makeup and styling. In order to appear on the red carpet tonight, Xia Chaoqun strictly checked Jiang Se's dress.
"Givenchy sent you a dress for this film festival, and Sister Xia has already picked out the jewelry and handbags for you to wear. Please take a look."
When "Devil" participated in the film festival, no one expected that it would make it to the finals.
Therefore, in the early days, not many luxury brands expressed their desire to cooperate with Jiang Se. However, as the popularity of "Devil" grew, and Jiang Se was frequently featured in the European and American newspapers due to the best-selling "Film Talk" magazine, many brands sent shoes and handbags to her one after another.
The jewelry she wore was mainly from Hong Kong and China Jewelry, and stylist Liu Lizhi took out the dress and matching shoes.
Because Givenchy had previously signed a cooperation agreement with Jiang Se, Xia Chaoqun communicated with Givenchy in advance at this year's French Film Festival, and the designer customized a purple dress for Jiang Se.
The matching shoes are high-heeled lace-up shoes, and the handbag is from a French luxury brand. Tonight's film festival is an important moment for her appearance, especially with Jiang Se's current rising fame, which will attract more attention and provide an opportunity to cooperate with these brands.
Before the closing ceremony of the film festival in the evening, stars from all over the world had already prepared and rushed to the event.
The venue was packed with fans who were eager to catch a glimpse of their idols, and media reporters were waiting on both sides of the red carpet.
The stars entered the venue one by one, with security guards on both sides maintaining order. The screams from the audience and the shutter sounds of cameras mixed together, and the big screen outside rotated the movie trailers of this year's film festival.
When Jiang Se appeared on the red carpet with the support of Xia Chaoqun and others, media reporters rushed to take pictures of her appearance.
She was wearing a romantic purple off-shoulder long dress, and her temperament was somewhere between the pure spirit of a girl and the elegance of a woman.
She seemed to know her own strengths, and wore this purple dress, which was extremely picky about temperament and skin color, in her own style. (To be continued)
