Amidst the overwhelming news about "sisterly love", this news headline temporarily replaced by Huaxia Information fermented in a very short time and attracted many netizens.
The article reported on the conversation between Jiang Se and the general manager of ELYSEES China. The reporter who wrote this news was apparently also at the charity dinner last night.
Jiang Se's current status makes him a highly noticed person in a place like last night. It is not surprising that Gao Chaoyang came over to say hello and attracted the attention of some interested people.
Both parties probably have plans to talk and greet each other on this occasion, which can be regarded as an early test of the Chinese audience by ELYSEES to gauge the market's reaction.
However, they were able to notice the cooperation between Jiang Se and ELYSEES so keenly, and dared to publish such a news without any real evidence. When the domestic media in China focused on the "bidding" for the manuscript between Jiang Se and Tao Cen, the media of China Information can be said to have seized the opportunity firmly.
By taking advantage of such a small incident, he easily took advantage of Jiang Se and Tao Cen's popularity and attracted the audience's attention.
She looked at the reporter who was reporting the story, and underneath his name it said: Reporting by Zhang Lan and Yu Zilin.
The name Zhang Lan was quite unfamiliar, but Jiang Se had some impression of Yu Zilin. She finished her breakfast, rinsed her mouth and prepared to take a look at the market audience's reaction to this matter. She found that not only did the news attract a large number of netizens' comments, but even her social media account had been occupied by netizens who heard the news.
Several assistants looked angry. Obviously, many of these messages were not ideal. Jiang Se picked up the tablet, and Mo Anqi wanted to stop her:
"Don't look at it anymore, just leave it to us." Obviously there were some extreme words in the message, and Mo Anqi was afraid that she would be angry.
But Jiang Se still wanted to see what netizens in China thought about her collaboration with ELYSEES. She was not as weak as Mo Anqi imagined.
The situation of leaving messages was much better than Jiang Se had imagined. The most popular topics were divided into three factions.
One group is Jiang Se's fans. They were attracted by her image in "The 99th Love Letter" in the early stage, and were later impressed by her works one after another. Netizens who became her fans all think that it is a very happy thing that Jiang Se can endorse ELYSEES's car.
These fans are truly working hard for their idol's achievements and have left messages on her social media accounts to congratulate and encourage her.
One group of viewers are skeptical about Jiang Se endorsing ELYSEES. ELYSEES has been in China for ten years, and Tao Cen has always been the exclusive spokesperson. Although Jiang Se has become very famous in recent years and even got the special identity of Federer's spokesperson in China, in the eyes of many Chinese audiences, Tao Cen's image is already deeply rooted, and it is not easy to replace her. They think this is just a rumor, and they rush here to confirm it and find out some clues.
The other group is Tao Cen's fans. Their reaction was very intense. They thought Jiang Se was "scheming", disrespectful to her predecessors, and snatched their resources. With her youth and beauty, she has been sought after by Century Galaxy in recent years. Now she is trying to snatch Tao Cen's endorsement. It can be said that it is "very hateful".
Little Superman: Congratulations to Sese for getting the endorsement of Federer and then ELYSEES again. Well done!
Mandy: It would be really amazing if Sese could get the endorsement of ELYSEES.
Mrs. Yang: Although Huaxia Information only said that and the matter has not been confirmed, it would be great if it is true! Since Jiang Se debuted, the advertisements she has taken are very stylish. The earliest Adeele is needless to say, and the later advertisements for the jewelry brand Honghua also amazed me. The appearance of that set of black and white photos is still unforgettable to me. I have changed several mobile phones, but the screen saver has always been the same. The Federer advertisement endorsement she took later was also very beautiful. The quality of the advertisement is not the quantity. I am looking forward to the moment when ELYSEES's photos are released!
The words of the netizen with the ID name 'Mrs. Yang' were agreed by most people. On the contrary, there were other different voices in the comment area:
Shenlun: Tao Cen has been the spokesperson for ELYSEES for ten years. Now they have temporarily changed the spokesperson. Is this true or false? Should Jiang Se come out and give an explanation
Ballad on the Grassland: If it is true that ELYSEES has changed its spokesperson, does it mean that ELYSEES has changed? Will it affect the brand image and quality of the car
It’s late at night: Based on the revelation of the reporter from Huaxia Information, it’s hard to say whether this matter is true or not. It may just be a hype by both parties. Everyone dispersed...
What followed were some radical words from Tao Cen’s fans. Some fans were very angry and said that if Tao Cen’s endorsement was really replaced by Jiang Se, they would never buy ELYSEES cars in the future.
Tao Cen has been in the industry for many years, and her sales have been very stable since she became the spokesperson for ELYSEES. She also has many wealthy fans, so she has the confidence to say this.
Jiang Se looked at it for a while and then put the tablet down.
According to Mo Anqi, the ELYSEES official website and inquiry phone number have been bombarded with calls, all asking about the spokesperson. The news from Huaxia Information has caused a huge uproar.
Tao Cen hasn't responded yet, but all the accusations are directed at Jiang Se.
Most netizens were very emotional about ELYSEES' change of spokesperson, and calls for a "boycott" were endless. Xia Chaoqun came here immediately after the company meeting ended.
"The company's punishment results have come out."
Jiang Se also knew the basic details of the punishment. Luo Yin had already informed Xia Chaoqun in advance last night, and he just got more detailed information today.
"After filming "Xianyuan", your job will only be to shoot ELYSEES commercials." Once the ELYSEES commercials are finished, Jiang Se will have to 'rest' for a while. "This time point will be about half a year. After Tao Cen finishes filming "Lost City", you will officially start working."
No job means no income, but Jiang Se is not afraid.
She shrugged her shoulders. Her output in recent years was not high, but the money she earned was enough for her to spend. She currently did not have any large fixed expenses to spend. In addition, after renewing her contract with Century Galaxy, she would receive stock dividends every year. She was not afraid to take a break for half a year.
Xia Chaoqun glanced at her:
"I've calculated that in the next six months, you have just enough time to prepare, review your lessons, and take the postgraduate entrance exam."
Jiang Se was a little surprised to hear her say this, but Xia Chaoqun lowered his head to look at the information in his hand:
"You are going to marry into the Pei family. In addition to acting, you should also try other things."
With a status like that of the Pei family, Jiang Se doesn’t need to have rich professional knowledge, but his wife can’t be too bad either.
The more she learns, the better it will be for her. This half-year break is just right for Jiang Se to relax. Xia Chaoqun started:
"I calculated the time, even if you take a break for half a year, it won't have much impact on you. After the ELYSEES advertisement is released, it will bring a lot of topics to you and the ELYSEES brand, and then "God's Redemption" will be released worldwide." This is the first movie that Jiang Se has collaborated with Cesare, and she plays the female lead. The news is currently kept secret.
Once the news is exposed, it may bring a storm-like impact to the Chinese entertainment industry. If the subsequent response to "God's Redemption" is good, Jiang Se will be pushed to the altar in one fell swoop, and his popularity and reputation will be unparalleled.
"You don't have to mind the dispute between you and Tao Cen at this moment."
After Xia Chaoqun said this, Jiang Se couldn't help but laugh:
"Is Sister Chaoqun trying to comfort me?"
This was unlike something Xia Chaoqun would say, but when Jiang Se asked this, she was silent for a while, and actually responded with a faint "hmm", which counted as an answer.
She was indeed trying to comfort Jiang Se. After coming out of the meeting at Century Galaxy, she received a call from a lady with whom she had worked in the past. From the conversation, she learned that some ladies from Hong Kong's upper class had learned through some special channels that ELYSEES had indeed signed Jiang Se to be the spokesperson for the ELYSEES brand sports car.
Some influential wives' groups at home and abroad have united and claimed that they would put pressure on ELYSEES and boycott Jiang Se from becoming the spokesperson for ELYSEES.
This matter could be a big or small matter, and Xia Chaoqun had no intention of hiding it from Jiang Se, so he told her everything.
In fact, Jiang Se was aware of the interests involved when Xia Chaoqun decided to get ELYSEES endorsement for Jiang Se. The better the advertisement, the greater the pressure he would have to endure.
When Jiang Se signed the contract with Federer watches, many people were not optimistic about her, thinking that she could not be compared with the internationally influential celebrities that Federer had signed over the years. There were also some so-called class people who thought that she would lower the style of Federer watches.
But after a few years, Jiang Se is still Federer's spokesperson in China, and it has never wavered.
When the advertisement came out, the sales of Federer's watches in China took off, and the turnover was not inferior to that of European and American countries.
This not only proves that China is strong and wealthy, with purchasing power not inferior to that of foreign countries, but also proves that Jiang Se's influence is great enough to save Federer watches from the disadvantage that their sales in China have not been able to increase.
Instead of worrying about those things, it is better to let the work speak for itself as Xia Chaoqun said!
According to the original plan, the filming of "Xianyuan" officially started in June. With Jiang Se's current influence, the opening ceremony of "Xianyuan" was very grand. The work became popular before it was even filmed. Even Cui Xing, who had been a little decadent and his fame had declined in recent years, became a hot topic again.
The early preparations for "Xianyuan" were very thorough and the filming process went very smoothly. In addition to Jiang Se who has been studying the script painstakingly since she decided to take it, Cui Xing, who acted opposite her, also cherished the opportunity to work with her, hoping to regain popularity and return to the audience's attention through "Xianyuan", and he worked very hard during the filming.
So the film, which was originally planned to be shot for 120 days, was completed in less than 110 days.
The final filming location of "Xianyuan" was in Suzhou, and the crew's wrap-up party was also scheduled in a restaurant in Suzhou with extremely local characteristics.
People came over one after another to toast Jiang Se. At Xia Chaoqun's signal, the wine in Jiang Se's glass had been replaced with mineral water. However, this did not affect the enthusiasm of the people who came to toast. The situation at this time inevitably reminded her of the time when she first debuted.
What she remembers most is probably the time when she was harassed by Yao Xiang at the wrap party of "Fake It Comes True". To this day, of course, no one dares to do that again.
She was slightly distracted and saw that among the people toasting was Cui Xing, who played the male lead.
When the two first collaborated, he was still the male lead and Jiang Se was just a supporting role in the movie. A few years later, Jiang Se has become the leading actor in "Xianyuan", playing two roles at the same time, but his fame has declined because he did not get a suitable movie script.
Cui Xing was holding up a wine glass, quietly waiting for the other crew members to toast Jiang Se. In the noisy environment, his quiet smile reminded Jiang Se of the wrap party for "Love Letter".
He was quite famous at that time and was also highly promoted by Century Galaxy. At the wrap-up party, he was the one being the center of attention.
Given Jiang Se's position back then, it was very difficult for her to offer a toast to Cui Xing. It was only because Zhao Rang was particularly caring towards her that he personally took her to Cui Xing.
No one replaced the wine in her glass at that time. She still remembered the feeling of trying hard not to fall down after she drank it in one gulp.
Now when he saw Cui Xing again, Jiang Se greeted the people around him and walked towards Cui Xing.
He obviously didn't expect Jiang Se to do this and was a little at a loss.
The unsatisfactory career in recent years has made Cui Xing look much more depressed. When Jiang Se stood in front of him, he was still a little stunned until Jiang Se raised his glass:
"Thank you Brother Xing for taking care of me in "Xianyuan"."
He was supposed to say this, but Cui Xing didn't expect Jiang Se to bring it up first. He smiled awkwardly at first, then quickly drank the wine in one gulp. The taste was spicy and he frowned for a long time.
Jiang Se waited for him to catch his breath before he raised his head, took out the handkerchief folded in his suit pocket and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said awkwardly:
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I've drunk like this before."
She smiled and shook her head. Cui Xing was stunned for a moment, coughed twice softly, and his face turned even redder, and it took a while for the redness to subside.
Cui Xing felt that he must be in a very awkward situation at this moment. He did not expect Jiang Se to come over and toast him. He drank the wine too quickly and too vigorously. He was a little drunk and relaxed his guard. The cooperation between the two of them over the past few months was much better than the unfamiliar relationship when they first met in the crew. He could not help asking:
"Sese, why are you..." He gestured, and gradually felt that his tongue was not in control:
"Why did you come over to toast me..."
Although he is the male lead in "Xianyuan", everyone in the crew knows how he got this role. If he wants to toast Jiang Se, he may have to wait for a while.
"A few years ago, when I had just debuted," Jiang Se waved his hand and asked his assistant to pour some water for Cui Xing, "I also attended the wrap party for Love Letter."
When she said this, Cui Xing's expression changed slightly, and a look of vigilance appeared in his eyes, thinking that she was taking this opportunity to mock him.
He must have experienced a lot of human warmth and coldness in the past few years.
Jiang Se seemed to have guessed what he was thinking and made a gesture:
"Don't worry, I don't mean anything else. I just remembered that when I was a newcomer, it was not easy for me to toast to Brother Xing. But Director Zhao helped me and brought me to you."
She held the cup, looked down and smiled:
"Life has its ups and downs, and I'm always lucky to have someone to help me when I'm at my lowest point."
She knew that during the filming of "Xianyuan", Cui Xing was holding back his energy. The company sent him to the crew and asked Jiang Se to lead him. He might have felt very uncomfortable, so he was often silent after filming, and he must have felt a little embarrassed at times.
At the wrap party for "Love Letter" that year, Zhao Rang appreciated talents and helped her. Now she just wanted to be like Zhao Rang at that time, helping others when she was capable.
Just as her mentor Chang Yuhu said, the road ahead is full of wind and rain, and the road is narrow and difficult to walk in the dark night. She hopes someone can hold an umbrella for her to protect her from the rain and wind.
Jiang Se doesn't dare to claim to be capable now, but he does what he can to give Cui Xing some confidence and make him more motivated. (To be continued)
