Sheng Jingzhi's purpose of favoring Jiang Se was very obvious. As long as Jiang Se responded in accordance with his words, he could easily step down.
Chen Jiao's words reminded Tao Cen of the time he met Cesare in France.
After the film festival, she finally found an excuse to have lunch with Cesare. She originally wanted to further improve her relationship with Cesare. After finding out that he liked the Finnish band "Time", Taozen used all her tricks to get two tickets for the show and wanted to invite Cesare to watch it.
But Cesare refused, stating that he was engaged at the time.
At that time, Tao Cen had speculated whether the person who had an appointment with Cesare was Jiang Se.
Cesare had a deep liking for Jiang Se, and even watched "Demons" starring Jiang Se at a film festival. He gave the film a very high evaluation. When he was interviewed afterwards, he thought that Jiang Se's failure to win the "Best Actress" award was the most unsuccessful decision made by the jury.
He once said frankly that he wanted to work with Jiang Se, and he had a meeting with Jiang Se afterwards, which should mean that Jiang Se did audition for his new film.
"Sister Tao, how about I contact Huandao Company and ask about the second part of "The Lost City"?"
Chen Jiao sat down, looking unhappy.
She used to be a first-line agent in the company, but she never expected to take over Tao Cen. After taking the position, she was determined to make a career. She had a lot of opinions about Jiang Se and thought that Jiang Se's meeting with Cesare was most likely Jiang Se's attempt to snatch the role of the Chinese actor in the second part of "The Lost City" from Tao Cen.
When Tao Cen signed the contract for "Lost City", he only signed for the first part. "Lost City" is tentatively scheduled to be filmed in three parts, and the cast for the last two parts has not yet been decided.
However, Tao Cen had a different idea from the agent. She had worked with Xia Chaoqun for many years and had a deep understanding of Xia Chaoqun's character. She believed that it was unlikely that Xia Chaoqun would let Jiang Se get close to Cesare and win the role in "The Lost City".
In addition to the fact that the first part of "The Lost City" has not been broadcast yet, Tao Cen's role in the play is not large, but the audience will have a preconceived idea about this movie. Even if Jiang Se can deal with Cesare and get the role in "The Lost City", unless Cesare can convince the two major investors, Roundabout and Borgia, for her to increase the weight and story of this role in the play, Jiang Se can only get a role similar to herself at most. In this way, she will easily be criticized, which will be counterproductive.
What's more, in a commercial film like this, Cesare can make decisions within a certain range, but the real power still lies in the hands of the producer.
When the first movie has not yet been released, the box office and word of mouth are difficult to predict. In this case, even if the investor does not sign a subsequent contract with you, the possibility of temporarily replacing you is not high.
What's more, given Xia Chaoqun's pride, she may not let Jiang Se eat her leftovers and walk the old path she has walked halfway. I'm afraid she prefers to explore new ways.
Tao Cen ignored Chen Jiao. This agent had been suppressed by her since he took office. Although he was her agent in name, the actual work he did was more like that of her assistant.
Her eyes turned to the watch on Jiang Se's wrist. The watch was black and white with a simple design. It was not very clear on TV, but for some reason, Tao Cen remembered that when she was in France, she wanted to seek cooperation with Federer watches, but was rejected by Federer at that time.
At the same time, Jiang Se’s social account posted a photo of her and Xia Chaoqun wearing Federer watches, hinting at Jiang Se’s cooperation with Federer.
It is said that Federer has collaborated with Steinay Piano to launch a limited edition watch this year, which has not yet been launched. The watch worn by Jiang Se is black and white, which is the color of the piano. Could it be that Federer has already selected her as a cooperation ambassador
She bit her lip, looked at Jiang Se on TV and said with a smile:
“It’s a commercial shoot.”
As soon as Jiang Se said this, netizens had different opinions. Many people speculated whether what she said was true or false. Some people also doubted what kind of important advertisement Jiang Se was talking about, which was worth her putting aside the promotion of "Devil" and staying in France to shoot.
On TV, Sheng Jingzhi was surprised and tactfully stopped asking questions, and turned to talk about movies.
Tao Cen felt his breathing stagnate and his fists clenched tightly.
"Shooting a commercial?"
She murmured to herself and repeated Jiang Se's words. If what she guessed was true, and the reason Jiang Se stayed in France was to cooperate with Federer's new product, then the person who had to shoot the commercial would not be a simple cooperation ambassador, but a spokesperson with remuneration and products to be obtained
Only spokespersons need to go through the trouble of shooting photos and videos, and it is not uncommon for it to take ten days or half a month.
But is this possible
Federer watches have never signed a Chinese spokesperson since their inception, and in the past, they had very few opportunities to collaborate with Chinese actresses.
Everyone in the circle is proud to be able to borrow his watches. For such a top Swiss brand, it would be too high for Jiang Se to just be an unpaid ambassador. Will Federer really sign her as a spokesperson and put her on equal footing with top international movie stars
"It shouldn't be possible..."
No matter how calm Tao Cen tried, he couldn't remain calm at this moment.
When she first learned that Federer had a new product to launch, her ambition was to become his ambassador, collaborate with Federer, and raise her international status. How could Jiang Se possibly get the endorsement
To be favored by Federer and then signed as a spokesperson, not only appearance and figure are required, but also temperament and status are indispensable.
If we count the Federer watch ambassadors, which one is not a superstar with international reputation, good box office and appeal? Compared with these people, Jiang Se is still far behind.
"Sister Tao, Sister Tao..." Tao Cen was still muttering to herself. Chen Jiao could no longer bear it and called her several times. She seemed to have suffered a blow and was a little out of control.
After Chen Jiao's voice woke her up, she asked again:
"What's impossible?"
Tao Cen no longer had the leisure to explain to her, so she calmly ordered:
"Call Luo Ao and ask him whether the cooperation between Jiang Se and Federer is an ambassadorial contract or..." Tao Cen paused for a moment and continued:
"It's still the spokesperson. Ask about the remuneration as well."
Such matters are confidential. If Tao Cen hadn't asked personally, Luo Ao might not have told him.
Chen Jiao was still in shock. She knew what the Federer brand meant. When she heard Tao Cen say this, she was stunned and shook her head:
"Spokesperson? Impossible, how can she do that?" In terms of fame, status and influence in China, Tao Cen has too many advantages over Jiang Se. Chen Jiao didn't believe it, laughed for a while, and then said firmly: "Impossible!" (To be continued)
