Jiang Se's calm attitude at this time calmed the somewhat panicked assistant to a certain extent.
In fact, Mo Anqi knew in her heart that Jiang Se had a trump card in her hand, and that news was about Pei Yi, who was related to her love affair and marriage.
No matter how big a fuss Tao Cen made when he left Century Galaxy this time, it was insignificant compared to this news.
Once Jiang Se and Pei Yi's marriage is exposed, the topic volume and popularity will rise to the national level in China, and then major domestic mainstream media and new self-media will compete to report it.
As long as Jiang Se is willing to reveal a little bit of information, this matter will not be a problem at all.
But the problem is whether Jiang Se is willing to say it.
Mo Anqi has been with her for many years and has some understanding of her personality.
In Mo Anqi's opinion, Jiang Se is a very principled person who keeps work and life separate. He has been in the industry for many years, and even though he suffered losses from Tao Cen during the fight with Tao Cen, he never brought out the people from the Pei family to suppress Tao Cen.
Even when he was endorsing the Leopard sports car last year and was challenged several times by Mrs. Zhou and others, he relied on his team to overcome the crises time and time again.
In this situation, Mo Anqi is not sure whether she can use the Pei family's reputation to overcome this difficulty.
"Is the matter getting out of hand?" Mo Anqi bit her lip and asked tentatively:
"Are you planning to reveal your identity to Brother Pei?"
"That's not necessary."
She smiled. Tao Cen’s matter was not small, but it was not big either.
Even if Tao Cen's termination of contract with Century Galaxy could be the last major event of the year, to put it more seriously, it would only divert the attention of the domestic public who were originally paying attention to "God's Redemption" and affect the box office.
The biggest consequence is that the domestic box office of this movie may not be as high as industry insiders initially expected, which will lead to some people's ridicule of her.
But this movie will not change the honors it has received because of the ridicule and mockery of a certain group of people. The film has won the most important award of "Filmmaker of the Century". The figure and name she left in the century-long history of world cinema art will not change the result because the box office of the film is different from expectations.
This matter is not worth her bringing up her marriage.
As the current leader of China who actually holds power, Mr. Pei has made the Pei family's position eye-catching enough.
Whether in public or in private, she never thought of secretly dragging Pei Yi into her career, making it an icing on the cake of her life and showing off to the world.
Pei Yi received a lot of attention as soon as he was born.
She has embarked on the path of an actress and has seen too many honors and disgraces along the way. As a person in the industry, she is destined to live under the spotlight and in the public eye. But she cannot bear to let Pei Yi be like her, with countless people watching her every move and afraid to make any mistakes.
Even though he had grown from a bright and cheerful young man into a man who stood tall and proud in her heart, their future had already determined that it was impossible for them to live a peaceful life.
But before that day comes, she still hopes that Pei Yi can be more relaxed. This is also her way of trying her best to protect Pei Yi's tenderness.
She rejected Mo Anqi's proposal. Mo Anqi had obviously expected this. She dragged a stool and sat down:
"Last night, I had a video call with Sister Xia."
Under such circumstances, Xia Chaoqun obviously thought that announcing the marriage news and using the traffic from the marriage news to beat Tao Cen would be the best strategy. However, this situation might lead to Jiang Se's rejection, and it was unlikely that she would agree.
"Sister Xia also thinks that you won't agree to this method, but Sese, are you really not going to consider it?"
Mo Anqi persuaded:
"You and Brother Pei will be married this year."
Their wedding was in September of this year. After the promotion period of "God's Redemption" ended, Xia Chaoqun left time for Jiang Se from February to November so that she could take promotional photos for the wedding with Pei Yi and prepare some wedding preparations.
The Pei family is different from ordinary families. According to convention, the marriage of the eldest grandson of the Pei family needs to be announced to the whole country through official media. It is an important event.
When Pei Jinhuai got married, a notice was sent out across the country.
At that time, the news industry was not as developed as it is now, but the marriage of the eldest son of the Pei family in the capital also caused joy across the country.
By the time of Pei Yi, the media and the Internet were already very developed. With a little guidance and Jiang Se's identity, Pei Yi's marriage would be much more grand. It was the perfect time to use it to suppress Tao Cen's news.
At most, the time difference is only nine months. Mo Anqi feels that it is only a matter of time before it is exposed in the future.
"It's going to be revealed sooner or later anyway, so why not expose it now?"
Jiang Se shook her head. She understood the reason and even thought more about it than Mo Anqi.
Privately, she didn't want Pei Yi to be exposed too early, but considering the overall situation, she also had reasons not to expose him at this time.
"Angie, you've been with me for a long time, and there are some things you should know."
Mo Anqi has been with her for many years, and has been by her side since her debut. The two of them have cooperated happily and have never had any friction along the way. In terms of personal matters, Mo Anqi arranged everything for her, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that she never had to worry about these trivial matters; in terms of work, Mo Anqi also sorted out the things that Xia Chaoqun had asked her to do, took care of all parties, and did not make any mistakes in external liaisons. There were never any accidents in the itinerary arrangements, and she was protected perfectly.
Jiang Se felt that if there were no unexpected situations, Mo Anqi might work with her for ten years, or even longer. There were some things Jiang Se didn't want to hide from her:
"You know what kind of family the Pei family is."
In a way, the fame and achievements she has accumulated now have made up for the shortcomings of Jiang Se's background. They are the confidence she has accumulated for herself, and the dowry she earned when she married Pei Yi, which enabled her to marry Pei Yi with a clear conscience and with confidence.
At the same time, dealing with this kind of "accident" is also a time to show the abilities of her team and herself.
If she needs to bring up even Tao Cen's "little matter" outside the Pei family, then she may face all kinds of difficulties in the future. She can't always wait for others to solve them for her. This will make people question whether she can become a qualified "Mrs. Pei" in the future, and the consequences will be far more serious than they are now.
Xia Chaoqun should know these situations better than her.
"Sister Xia also said that if you don't agree, you have to find another way."
After hearing what she said, Mo Anqi gave up her original plan:
"Sister Xia said that there are two ways to deal with this news." She held out her hand, "either ignore it and let it ferment and grow, and forget about it once the heat has passed."
This method is too passive and does not suit Jiang Se and Xia Chaoqun's personalities.
Mo Anqi obviously knew this in her heart, so she raised another finger:
"Or they can create a bigger news to suppress it."
During the release of "God's Redemption", if Jiang Se was single, the biggest hype point could have been her love affair, but she was unwilling to disclose her marriage, which blocked the possibility of hyping her relationship with other people, so she had to start from other aspects.
"At this time, the best thing to do is to take Laura out for a walk."
Jiang Se smiled. Laura was originally scheduled to be the heroine of "God's Redemption", but was replaced later. In the early days, there were always rumors about the discord between Jiang Se and Laura. There were also gossips that Jiang Se had snatched Laura's role away. This time at the "Century of Filmmakers", many of Laura's fans who were originally going to speak on the stage firmly believed that this honor should belong to Laura.
"At this juncture, the entertainment gossip media will probably be very interested in such news."
Mo Anqi nodded after hearing what she said:
"Sister Xia also mentioned this, but Sese, Tao Cen's leaving Century Galaxy is a big deal."
Laura alone may not be able to match Tao Cen's influence in China.
Jiang Se looked at her with a smile, his eyes flickering, and there seemed to be some other plans in those bright eyes, which made Mo Anqi feel a little uneasy, as if she had something else to say.
She was still guessing in her heart, but Jiang Se didn't give her time to think, and continued: "Who asked the media to say good things about me? Of course, they said that I 'stole the role'. Wasn't there a rumor that I 'stole' Tao Cen's role in "A Glimmer of Hope"? "
For many people, they must have seen too many "good things" about celebrities, and the shameful side is more likely to arouse everyone's interest.
In addition, it coincides with the release of "God's Redemption", and there have been rumors for a long time that Jiang Se will snatch the role of Laura, so this should create some topic volume.
As for the impact on Jiang Se's reputation, which is not good for her image, Xia Chaoqun will negotiate the contract with Melovin later, and will naturally start to resolve and clarify the matter after returning from France.
With one black and one clean, my own team can also control some situations. Once the incident is over, it may be more beneficial to Jiang Se.
Mo Anqi responded.
The premiere of "God's Redemption" in the capital that evening was far more grand than the media invited to attend had imagined.
At the premiere, Cesare repeatedly praised Jiang Se, showing his appreciation for Jiang Se. Even the taciturn Donald was full of praise when he mentioned Jiang Se.
Faced with this situation, there was laughter and joy at the scene, but Tao Tao was a little worried.
Her emotions today were really up and down. First, she remembered that she had won the jackpot with her bet, and then "God's Redemption", which starred Jiang Se and won an authoritative award, was released. It should have been a happy event for Tao Tao, but in the afternoon she received news that Tao Cen might have terminated his contract with Century Galaxy.
Tao Tao knew very well how much of a sensation Tao Cen's contract termination would cause once it was broadcast.
All members of the studio were busy this afternoon, trying to confirm the truth of this matter. She attended the premiere of "God's Redemption" tonight, and her boss also instructed her to ask about Tao Cen's termination of contract with Century Galaxy in the interview with Jiang Se later.
Her eyes swept over the invited media people around her. Among these people, nine out of ten probably had the same idea as the owner of Longxing Studio.
The boss has said that this news cannot lag too far behind other media outlets. This news is too important. Regardless of whether it is true or false, Tao Cen's contract termination must be on the headlines tonight to attract the attention of netizens first.
Tao Tao was worried that once this news came out, it would divert the attention of some netizens and affect the promotion of "God's Redemption".
She sighed, rubbed her aching forehead, and decided to cheer herself up and deal with this first.
The movie was very exciting. Even though Tao Tao had already seen "God's Redemption" when it premiered in the United States, she was still deeply shocked when she watched it again.
With subtitles in the Chinese language, people who watch movies in the United States due to language limitations will have a clearer understanding of the plot when they watch it again.
As the plot of the movie came to an end, when Lanny's tear fell into the knight's hands, pushing the significance of the whole play to its climax, Tao Tao's cell phone vibrated, waking her up from the plot.
She waited until the movie was over and the lights came on before she took out her phone and saw the message was from the studio owner. It read:
"Taocen has terminated his contract with Century Galaxy. We have received confirmation!"
Almost at the same time, Tao Tao subconsciously looked up at the faces of the media reporters in the venue. The expressions on everyone's faces were either surprise, excitement, ecstasy, or curiosity.
At this moment, Mo Anqi in the audience also got the news. Chen Shan took out his mobile phone to answer a call. When he came back, his face was solemn. He leaned close to Mo Anqi's ear and whispered:
"Sister Anqi, Tao Cen's speech about separating from Century Galaxy and establishing 'Kongzhao Media' has already attracted the attention of some netizens online."
There was a hint of tears in Chen Shan's voice. She had only been with Jiang Se for a short time, and she knew the seriousness of the situation.
It was obviously not accidental that Tao Cen chose to issue the "Declaration of Independence" at this critical moment. With such a big news and the whole nation's attention, the media reporters on the scene must have already learned some news.
"I worry that ..."
Chen Shan didn't say the rest of the words, but Mo Anqi knew what she was worried about. She was worried that the Chinese premiere of "God's Redemption" would end up being a one-man show for Tao Cen.
Even if Tao Cen was not at the scene, with the news like this, as two actresses who once stood side by side with Century Galaxy, the media reporters might ask Jiang Se about Tao Cen's departure from Century Galaxy after the movie screening, and inquire about the "hostility" and "competitive" relationship between the two, while ignoring the movie itself. This might be Jiang Se's biggest embarrassment.
The beads of sweat on Mo Anqi's forehead were gathering into streams, dripping down her forehead.
Naturally, she also thought of the same questions that Chen Shan thought of.
But how to solve it? If Xia Chaoqun was here, how would she deal with this emergency
The issue of Laura that had been discussed with Jiang Se was obviously no longer able to withstand the topic created by Tao Cen at this time. Jiang Se also refused to disclose his marriage with Pei Yi, so what about Pei Yi
Mo Anqi thought of this, took a deep breath, and pulled Chen Shan:
"You keep an eye on it first. I'll go out and make a phone call first." (To be continued)
