Although the tea was not just boiled, it was still very hot after being poured out of the pot.
Although the female assistant knew something was wrong and wanted to dodge to the side, it was too late. The tea splashed on her face. She let out a shrill scream and covered her face with her hands.
This sudden change made the assistant standing at the door look pale. The girl on the ground held her face and screamed. Feng Nan's face looked very ugly at this time:
"'God's Redemption'? No, that's impossible. How could there be Chinese actors in this movie..." Her expression twisted slightly:
"Why is it Jiang Se?"
"Excuse me," the female assistant at the door saw this scene, immediately turned her head, stepped out and closed the door, pushed the silent Dai Jia forward two steps, and forced a smile:
"Can I know your contact information? Please don't talk nonsense about what happened earlier. Miss Feng accidentally spilled the tea in the cup." There was no more noise in the room, and the female assistant breathed a sigh of relief:
"Miss Feng will give you a little more tip when you pay the bill later."
Dai Jia lowered her head and nodded slightly. The female assistant couldn't see the expression on her face. She remembered the tone Feng Nan had used when he mentioned 'Jiang Se' before, and her brows furrowed.
Because of the unexpected news, Feng Nan was out of shape the whole night. After Huo Zhiming came, she was often distracted and performed very badly.
When talking about the role of Shen Xunran, the heroine in "Criminal Suspect", Feng Nan forced a smile on his face:
"I know Director Huo is currently looking for investment for the film 'Criminal Suspect'."
She knew Huo Zhiming's character. The old man was notoriously bad-tempered in the circle. He didn't like people telling him what to do with his movies. Even investors couldn't interfere with the problems of the movies. As a result, his situation was getting worse and worse, but he still had no intention of changing his temper.
Feng Nan wanted to get the role of Shen Xunran, so he naturally couldn't let the relationship between her and Huo Zhiming become strained and block his own way out.
She picked up the teapot on the table and poured tea for Huo Zhiming. "I have seen all of Director Huo's previous movies. I especially appreciate your subtle and delicate filming techniques. When I was chatting with my fiancé recently, I also mentioned Director Huo. He admires you very much and is also interested in investing in your movie."
Even after Feng Nan said this, Huo Zhiming was not as ecstatic as she had imagined.
In fact, after the script of the movie "Criminal Suspect" was written, it has been encountering obstacles everywhere. Huo Zhiming once sent the script to Century Galaxy through a friend. Originally, there was news that Jiang Se was interested in the script.
At that time, Huo Zhiming also went to watch Jiang Se's performance and felt that her acting skills were a bit awkward. In his heart, he didn't think she was suitable for the role of "Shen Xunran" in his script.
Jiang Se's previous movie characters were more or less related to delicate faces, which, in Huo Zhiming's opinion, gave her a bit of a vase-like feeling.
It was not until the release of "The Devil" that he broke this prejudice. In "The Devil", Jiang Se brought to life a flesh-and-blood Zhang Yuqin, with proper control of emotions. Whether it was the depression in the early stage or the madness in the later stage, his performance was very good.
But being good at playing a "devil" does not necessarily mean you can play a compassionate policeman.
He has been optimistic about Fan Zhiyun for a long time and has been in contact with her. Fan Zhiyun's age and temperament are very similar to the image of "Shen Xunran" in the play. Her face is a standard gentle look. Although she lacks some of the heroic spirit of a police officer, she is very suitable for playing the role of a Madonna-like loving person. With a little training, she will definitely make the image of "Shen Xunran" come alive.
When Feng Nan mentioned investment, Huo Zhiming was silent for a long time.
It was indeed difficult to find investors for "Criminal Suspect". The budget for this film was actually not high, but because of his previous reputation, many investors were unwilling to take out their money and take a chance with him.
Although he had a huge financial gap, if he was asked to exchange his role for investment, it would go against his original intention of making the film, so he was somewhat reluctant.
Huo Zhiming's expression was written on his face. Feng Nan suppressed his unhappiness and said in a gentle voice:
"I know your character. I'm not trying to force you to give me a role by paying you. I really like acting and I like your style of work, so I just want to get a chance to see if I can work with you, Director Huo. If you give me an audition, you can use me if I can make it. If not, it won't affect my investment."
After she said this, Huo Zhiming didn't insist anymore.
After convincing Huo Zhiming, Feng Nan breathed a sigh of relief, but was also worried about funding.
She has taken on many commercials in recent years and made a lot of money, but it is still far from enough to invest in movies.
When in front of Huo Zhiming, she boasted that she was from Zhongnan Industry and had a fiancé from Jianghua Group, but she had a bad relationship with both parties.
The assistant who had been to the hospital earlier called and said that he had been burned on the face by the assistant who had thrown tea on him. Repairing the scars later would probably be a considerable expense.
At the same time, the assistant offered to resign and demanded compensation from Feng Nan, otherwise he would expose her to the media!
As if it weren't raining, Jiang Se was doing well. Regardless of whether the news that she had signed on for "God's Redemption" was true or false, she had already successfully climbed up to Cesare, while she herself was having troubles. Her relationship with the Feng family was bad, and she was almost no longer in touch with Zhao Junhan. The movie "Revenge" she invested in was not well-known, and now she was still running around trying her best to raise money to get the role of Huo Zhiming in the movie.
But the assistant resigned at this time and threatened to sue her.
In the Jiangnan Entertainment office, Feng Nan's agent was talking to her. The compensation amount for the assistant who was scalded earlier had been negotiated, and she wanted one million Chinese yuan before she was willing to sign the agreement and shut up.
The new assistant's information was collected, and the agent took out a few resumes:
"I picked them out, and these three are all good."
Feng Nan picked up the resumes of these people and flipped through them. The agent picked out the information of one man and two women. One of the man and the woman were still young, having just graduated from college. They were both newcomers. She did not have a good reputation in the circle and changed assistants very quickly. In addition, she was not famous and did not make much money, so experienced and capable assistants were unwilling to follow her.
Most of the resumes we receive are from students who have just graduated.
The last profile is not of a student. His name is Dai Jia, he is 26 years old, he was a student of Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy, he played minor roles in several movies, but he was expelled from the academy because he was imprisoned. Feng Nan picked up this profile, in the photo, Dai Jia's face was smiling. (To be continued)
