Deep down in Cesare's heart, he was very satisfied with Jiang Se's performance.
She had read the original novel of "Prisoners" carefully and had a good grasp of the emotions of the characters in the play. Even for a small role like Shireen, she had made full preparations, so in the absence of lines or scripts, she could just open her mouth and speak the lines she imagined based on the content of the novel.
During the audition, in addition to the expression of body language, her facial expressions were also very appropriate. When she was speaking the lines, several details were also noticed by Cesare, proving that in addition to doing her homework seriously, she is also very careful.
For example, her suppressed coughing and wheezing while delivering her lines not only proved Shireen's inner excitement when she mentioned God, but also indirectly confirmed the fact that Shireen was injured.
It was amazing that Jiang Se was able to impress Cesare, who was auditioning, with the character of Shireen in just a few minutes.
The most important thing is that she is very relaxed. The assistant put away the camera. Cesare motioned the assistant to make coffee and asked Jiang Se:
"Jiang, have you ever acted in a stage play?"
"I've been practicing for nearly a year." Jiang Se responded. Cesare didn't say anything, and the two of them didn't mention the audition again.
It will take some time to get the audition results for "Prisoners". Once Jiang Se is confirmed to be selected, Cesare will contact her as soon as possible.
Under Xia Chaoqun's arrangement, Jiang Se accepted interviews from several magazines abroad, and "The Devil" in China also entered a period of intense promotion.
Zhao Rang and Liu Ye frequently appeared in major media, but Jiang Se was absent. Although "Devil" had a good reputation and Jiang Se's role as Jiang Yuqin in "Devil" also broke through her previous image and brought the character to life, the fact that Liu Ye accompanied Zhao Rang back to China to attend promotional activities while Jiang Se still stayed in France still disappointed a large part of the audience.
Many people on major media websites and Jiang Se's personal social media accounts have questioned this point:
Qingqing Caoyuan: "Devils" is indeed good, with good plot and acting skills. However, as the female lead in the drama, why is Jiang Se always absent from several events and still staying in France while the male lead Liu Ye, who won the French Film Festival Best Actor, can accompany Liu Ye to promote the film
Just a successor: Jiang Se rarely attends various activities on weekdays. If fans wanted to see her, they used to do so during the movie promotion period or in the cinema. Now, even when "Devil" is released, they can't see her.
Our goal: Are we acting like a big shot now that we are famous
…
Amid such doubts, "The Devil" continued to rise at the box office thanks to its excellent quality and reputation. After just one week of domestic release, the box office has reached 1.8 billion yuan, and the momentum has not even weakened, and it is still climbing.
At the same time, after its release in North America, it also received rave reviews. Industry insiders even estimated that this film could already be booked as the best film of the year, and the final total box office might surpass Zhang Jingan’s "Rescue Operation" last year, creating a box office miracle for Jiang Se’s films.
Jiang Se had no time to explain the messages from China. After finishing her foreign interviews, she had already started shooting an advertisement for Federer watches and was too busy to spare.
At this time in London, England, Pei Yi was lurking in the dark, waiting for support.
The information he found during his stay in hiding was of great help to the police operation. It contained detailed records of the names of every high-level member of the organization. He cooperated with the police to wipe out "Crow" and others in one fell swoop, and wiped out these gang members who used teenagers to sell drugs.
The suburbs of London were still the same as he remembered. When he returned with the police, the streets were filled with the smell of gunpowder that was lingering for a while.
Some residents nearby hid in their homes, not daring to open the doors. The bodies of some gang members were lying on the ground. Most of the soldiers were protected by guns, and special personnel were cleaning up the aftermath.
The painful groans of the injured could be heard everywhere. Ambulances drove over one after another, and medical staff carried the injured into the cars one by one.
Pei Yi, as an undercover agent who made great contributions this time, is very familiar with this area.
The drug-making nest of 'Crow' was located under a private house in the suburbs of this area. It was converted into a large factory. Before, it was guarded by special armed men, but now it was forced to open the door under the baptism of artillery fire from the British and Chinese alliance.
There were many corpses on the ground. The survivors had surrendered and their weapons had been confiscated.
A large open space has been dug out underground, which is almost leading to the heart of London. The equipment for drug production is complete, and the accumulated drugs can be exported to all parts of the world.
The drug-making personnel have been controlled. Many of them are kneeling on the ground with their hands on their heads, with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, and they dare not make a sound.
The running machines had stopped, and the air was filled with dizzy and nauseating smells. Commander Ghani, who was in charge of this operation, looked around the underground processing plant and suddenly received a message. He turned around and looked at Pei Yi:
"61, a dungeon has been discovered here, holding a group of prisoners that Crow is preparing to deal with." '61' is Pei Yi's code name for this operation. The commander paused for a moment when he said this:
"There is a woman among this group of people. Maybe you should know her."
When he said this, Pei Yi had actually guessed who he was referring to.
After his whereabouts were exposed, Pei Yi left with the information. Among the comrades left behind, one died and two were injured, while Chen Minshu, who was traveling with him, disappeared and must have fallen into the hands of "Crow".
Because of its undercover role, 'Crow' suffered a lot of business losses, and it must hate Pei Yi and his group to the core. After catching Chen Minshu, it will not let her have an easy time, nor will it let her die easily.
Pei Yi had guessed this a long time ago, but he didn't expect Chen Minshu to still be alive.
Before he could say anything, someone in the team heard what Ghani said and stood up excitedly:
"Is it Minshu?"
After Chen Minshu disappeared, the news was received in China.
Her father immediately sent his family members to the UK to participate in this operation. In addition to carrying out the elimination mission and finishing operations, he also wanted to find out the whereabouts of his daughter.
The person who came was Chen Minshu's cousin Chen Jing. He asked this question with hope. Ghani, with a gun on his back, spread his hands regretfully:
"Not sure. She is a little confused."
After saying this, Chen Jing showed an uneasy look on his face.
However, Chen Minshu fell into the hands of "Crow", and as the organization hated her to the core, the Chen family could guess that she would not have a good ending.
Being able to save his life was already a pleasant surprise, but even though Chen Jing had prepared himself for Chen Minshu's situation, he was still shocked the moment he actually saw Chen Minshu. (To be continued)
