The anxious mood of He Cong and her bestie was also reflected in the minds of thousands of viewers who were waiting for the live broadcast to begin.
With twenty seconds left in the countdown, the screen, which had been still, finally lit up. Amid the sound of typing, rows of words appeared in front of He Cong and her bestie:
Thank you for your birth 24 years ago! Thank you for your discovery by the film industry 7 years ago! Since then, she has played unforgettable roles in many classic movies.
She is like the best gift God has given to movie fans. She is the luck that belongs to our time - Jiang Se.
Even though time was tight and Xia Chaoqun only gave Hua Xia Information a little over forty hours, Hua Xia Information still made an opening statement that was inspiring enough to make people excited and evoke special feelings.
Among them, He Cong was the most emotional.
The sound of this old typewriter and the silent opening remarks are the most reminiscent of the past.
She should be considered as an audience who has been following Jiang Se since her first movie was released, watching her from being a little immature to where she is now. From watching "Love Letter" originally for Cui Xing to watching Jiang Se's later movies, she has never missed any of them and always rushes to the cinema first.
I didn't expect that seven years had passed in this time.
He Cong never thought of herself as a fan of Jiang Se, but at this moment, she couldn't help but be touched. When she paid attention to someone for seven years and was still emotionally upset by her every move, this behavior was actually no different from that of a fan.
My best friend was a little surprised, "Huaxia Information is really wealthy."
Being able to invite Jiang Se for an exclusive interview, this countdown time will probably be favored by many advertisers.
Especially with the increase in the number of people paying attention to the live broadcast in recent days, a large number of advertisers should be willing to pay money to get advertising during this time period. However, Huaxia Information actually used this time for the opening remarks instead of adding such clips to Jiang Se's live broadcast time later.
"Just for these 20 seconds, we conservatively estimate that Huaxia Information has lost at least a million dollars in advertising fees!"
He Cong said softly:
"Because Jiang Se is worth it."
There was still some sob in her voice, and when her best friend turned to look at her, she could vaguely see a little tear in her eyes.
Besides He Cong, her bestie, and netizens online, the one who saw this scene was Tao Cen, who was supposed to be preparing for tomorrow's work.
She has been very busy these days. She is currently discussing two endorsements. Apart from that, she also has to read some movie scripts in person. She seldom allows herself to have some free time, as if she is a machine, always running non-stop.
Huaxia News reported an exclusive interview with Jiang Se, and she overheard it today when she was having dinner with a producer.
"Sister Tao, you shouldn't watch this."
Song Yi whispered his advice softly from the side. Even Song Yi felt a little frightened when he saw the title above.
Tao Cen was very calm, as if she was not affected by these opening remarks. When Song Yi persuaded her, she even frowned and said softly:
"Don't bother me."
"Reading these will only make you unhappy." Although she had already spoken, Song Yi still dared to say another word. Tao Cen pulled the coat on his body, put away the work schedule in his hand, and found a comfortable position to sit down:
"Song Yi, you have to understand that there is a saying in China that is very true: if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be defeated in a hundred battles."
She had failed in her previous fights with Jiang Se, which was partly due to her lack of understanding of Jiang Se.
Although Tao Cen felt uncomfortable with Huaxia Information's opening remarks and the title of the interview, she was not more concerned about this. What she saw was the title "Unique" that Huaxia Information boldly attributed to Jiang Se. Once such a concept is deeply rooted in people's minds, it will be difficult to reverse it.
She remembered what she had told Song Yi two days ago, and the smile on her face faded.
Rather than saying that this was an exclusive interview prepared for Jiang Se, it would be more accurate to say that this was the best strategy that Xia Chaoqun came up with to block his own path.
After this interview, as long as Jiang Se's performance is not too bad, her influence in China should be even stronger, and at the same time, her previous plan will be frustrated. "Chaoqun is really a good trick."
She sighed, Song Yi still didn't understand, "Don't do what I told you to do that day."
After the interview, if such public opinion continues, it will probably not cause any waves and will only make oneself embarrassed in the end.
Song Yi was not stupid. He had been with her for such a long time, but even though he didn't understand it at first, he understood it all at once after hearing what Tao Cen said. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't utter a word.
At the top of the screen, along with the rows of typed words, there were large messages:
Friends walk together for a lifetime: The word "seven years" is enough to bring tears to my eyes.
Hold you and me tight: If the words from China News were read out in a more sensational voice at this moment, I might cry out "woof".
…
Shu Payen was also watching the live broadcast and saw the comments from netizens below.
Contrary to the majority of netizens who thought that the typing opening method was not tear-jerking enough, Shu Peien felt that this method was particularly suitable for Jiang Se.
The "ticking" sound of the subtitles on the screen reminded him of the movie "Peking Events" he watched a few years ago. In the rain and fog, Jiang Se was holding an umbrella, and the sound of her high heels stepping on the bluestone floor was obvious. The sound was quite loud, but it gave people a strange feeling of tranquility.
The subtitles gradually faded away, and the live broadcast finally showed the official picture.
Perhaps it was because he had been waiting for too long and was deeply moved by the words of China Information, when Jiang Se and Sheng Jingzhi appeared in front of the camera with a smile, He Cong actually let out a small cheer.
She felt a little out of control when she shouted, but her best friend didn't care to laugh at her at all. Instead, she seemed happier than her and pulled her to shout:
“It’s out!”
After saying this, my bestie continued to criticize:
"She seems to be a little thinner than before, and the necklace she wears is not as pretty as the pearl necklace she wore at the last ELYSEES press conference."
At the ELYSEES press conference a few days ago, the pearl necklace worn by Jiang Se has become the most searched jewelry on the Internet in the past two days. After netizens found out its brand, many people placed orders.
She was wearing a sleeveless light blue dress today, which was decorated with tiny pearls that outlined a floral pattern. The color made her skin look as white as snow. Her hair was draped behind her, and she wore a simple pair of platinum tassel earrings.
When her best friend spoke, she subconsciously glanced at He Cong.
She had very complicated feelings towards Jiang Se because of what happened to Zhu Pan. She wanted to watch Jiang Se's movies and pay attention to all the gossip about Jiang Se. When she heard people say bad things about Jiang Se, she would refute them immediately, but she could hardly say a single good word about Jiang Se.
He Cong knew her strange mentality and pretended not to hear what she said.
In the live broadcast room, Sheng Jingzhi and Jiang Se had already greeted the audience. The upper right corner showed that the number of people watching this live broadcast was rising. Obviously, as the time came, many netizens were rushing to the scene.
"Good evening, everyone. I am Sheng Jingzhi. Welcome to watch tonight's interview."
In addition to the vast majority of netizens who came tonight for Jiang Se, some of Sheng Jingzhi's fans also came. Jiang Se greeted them and waved gently in front of the camera. Such a simple action caused the number of messages in the live broadcast room to continue to accumulate. In just ten seconds, there were nearly thousands of messages, which caused a certain impact on the server of China Information. This did not include some netizens who could not speak due to the server jam.
Faced with such a situation, the staff of Huaxia Information were happy about the influence brought by Jiang Se, but also worried that the server would fail, which would cause even greater trouble.
The director of Huaxia Information was worried at the beginning that the atmosphere of the interview would not be as good as before, but the atmosphere was so warm from the beginning. It can be predicted that as long as Jiang Se does not have any accidents in the future, this interview may bring a lot of traffic to Huaxia Information.
In addition to instructing the staff to keep a close eye on the situation, he helplessly asked Jiang Se through the headset:
"Sese, try to move less now."
Most of the audience's attention was on her, and the interview had just begun, so everyone was inevitably enthusiastic. Her subtle performance would have a great impact on this interview program.
Sheng Jingzhi also heard the director's request in the headphones and couldn't help but look at Jiang Se in surprise.
The thing that people who make programs fear the most is not having anything that can keep the audience hooked. This is the first time I've seen a program crew worrying that the audience is too eager.
He knew that Jiang Se had been very popular in recent years. The directors he worked with were all famous directors, and his advertising endorsements were more high-end than each other. But hearing about it was one thing, and actually seeing Jiang Se's influence was another.
After greeting each other, Sheng Jingzhi, with a gentle attitude, unobtrusively pulled Jiang Se into the main topic in the form of casual chat:
"I haven't seen Sese on the show for a long time. The last time we talked was in 'A Glimmer of Hope.'" Sheng Jingzhi is very good at controlling the situation when hosting. He is knowledgeable and knows how to talk in moderation. Plus, they are acquaintances, so he can make Jiang Se smile as soon as he opens his mouth.
"I know that since your debut, apart from the necessary promotion of your movies, you have rarely had personal interviews like today. In the eyes of your fans, you are a very mysterious person in private. You don't like to talk about your private life, and you don't like to publicize your other side. The public's impression of you, apart from the early exposure that you were admitted to a top university, have a boyfriend who used to go to the same school, are now engaged, and have a thick resume of movies and endorsements, there is rarely any other news about you."
As soon as Sheng Jingzhi finished speaking, not only the audience in front of the computer screen were laughing, but even Jiang Se couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
"What prompted you to accept today's interview?"
After Sheng Jingzhi asked this question, He Cong was also waiting for Jiang Se's answer.
As Sheng Jingzhi said, many fans' impression of Jiang Se may come from movies and advertising endorsements.
Fans can tell you a lot about her works, but they may not be able to describe her personality.
Even people like He Cong, who has never missed a movie since her debut and has been paying close attention to Jiang Se's news, may not be able to tell what Jiang Se likes.
"In fact, the reason I haven't told you some things is not because I don't want to say it, but because I think my life is the same as everyone else's. There is nothing worth pointing out in particular."
With such an opening, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room gradually became relaxed. Today's interview had nothing to do with the movie, but was about Jiang Se himself. Due to time constraints, Huaxia Information had checked with Xia Chaoqun about the questions that could not be asked, and the rest depended on Jiang Se's own performance on the spot.
She was not a person who liked to talk at length. When she was having a party with the elders of the Pei family or accompanying Pei Yi to meet Nie Dan and the others, most of the time she was in the role of a quiet listener.
But today's situation obviously cannot remain silent. After Jiang Se said this, he continued to talk about some points in his life:
“When I’m not making movies, I’m taking some classes.”
Dancing, piano, etiquette, as well as practicing and training on lines, plus necessary body care and fitness, she actually has no free time at all.
Occasionally, when she has some free time, she will seize the time to read books and literature related to her major.
During the filming of a movie, she had to read the script carefully, memorize the lines, and learn all the knowledge that could be used in filming. Just like when she was filming "God's Redemption", she hired an Italian teacher to teach her Italian in addition to exercising and practicing fighting.
She mentioned how she felt when she entered the entertainment industry and made her first movie, and also mentioned the first movie that attracted much attention, "Love Letter". She thanked director Zhao Rang and specifically mentioned "Devil". She talked about how she studied at the Imperial Capital Theater for half a year in order to get the role of "Devil".
Later, under the guidance of Liang Chunbo, a senior at the Grand Theater, I noticed that the character Zhang Yuqin in "The Devil" lost a lot of weight after losing her daughter.
She had never exposed these behind-the-scenes things to the public before.
When everyone saw her glamorous side on the screen, they never thought that she would spend so much time thinking about a role.
She said that in order to perform the despair of "Zhang Yuqin", she went to the Western Suburbs Women's Prison, saw everyone whose freedom was deprived there, saw her expressions and tone, and stayed at home to watch the performances of many predecessors in previous years. Only then did the amazing Zhang Yuqin come into being.
The honor of being nominated for the 'Best Actress' award at the French Film Festival is inseparable from her efforts.
"Perhaps the current domestic audiences know that you are friends with the great director Cesare. He has publicly expressed his admiration for you several times and worked with you in "Salvation of the Divine". Can you talk about how you two met?"
The atmosphere of the conversation became more and more lively, and more and more people watched. Although the number of messages was not as popular as at the beginning as the program unfolded, the number of people entering the live broadcast channel of the program continued to increase.
Thanks to Jiang Se's interview tonight, the number of visitors to China Information may break the historical record.
The editor-in-chief of Huaxia Information was sitting in the backstage, watching the data rising at a rapid speed, and he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud. (To be continued)
