The person shouting attracted the attention of everyone in the theater. Jiang Se reached out to wipe the water droplets gathered on her chin, took two breaths, and heard the person who pulled her ashore say:
"Beauty, calling you."
Jiang Se was stunned for a moment after hearing this. When she looked up, she saw the stage manager holding a loudspeaker not far away waving at her:
"It's you, come here."
She was soaked in water. The crew of "Rescue Operation" was indeed a big investment, and the costumes were all good quality. They were very heavy after being soaked with water. She wrung out the water stains on the corners of her clothes. Her shoes were also soaked in water. The clothes stuck to her body tightly, leaving a wet mark every time she took a step.
The script supervisor was still looking at her, and the person next to her pushed her enviously:
"You're being called. Go quickly. Maybe Director Zhang has taken a liking to you."
Jiang Se hurriedly trotted over. The stage manager looked her up and down. She had just fallen into the water and looked a little disheveled, but her face was indeed beautiful, with an aura of invincible youth.
There was a look of surprise in the eyes of the stage supervisor:
"Come with me." When he said this, the impatient look on his face subsided a little when he saw Jiang Se's appearance:
"Don't talk nonsense later. Just do whatever the director tells you to do."
Jiang Se understood what he meant. It turned out that it was Zhang Jingan who asked someone to bring her here.
Under the scorching sun, Zhang Jingan and others were sitting under a parasol, which provided some cool shade.
When Jiang Se followed the script supervisor over, everyone sitting there looked at her. Even Liu Ye, who was holding a bottle of mineral water and wearing sunglasses, turned his head. When he saw Jiang Se, he sat up, lowered his sunglasses, and glanced at her.
"Director Zhang, she's here."
Zhang Jingan, who was sitting behind the camera, tilted his head to look. The great director mentioned by Lu Baobao was internationally famous, but Zhang Jingan looked ordinary.
He was about forty years old, wearing an ordinary dark blue short-sleeved shirt, with his hair parted in the middle. His eyes were not sharp, but they gave people some pressure for no reason.
There were two influential figures in the entertainment industry sitting in the studio. If it were the real 17-year-old Jiang Se, he would probably be so nervous and excited that he would hardly be able to control himself.
But Jiang Se stood very straight. Zhang Jing'an was somewhat surprised to find that this girl did not show much fear when facing him. She looked calm and stood straight. Her wet hair stuck to her face and was still dripping down her face, but this did not detract from her beauty.
There was already a cloud of mist where she was standing, but she was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not show any signs of embarrassment or awkwardness.
From her posture and expression, we can tell that she comes from a good family. Vision and courage can be developed later in life, but a person's bearing and charm require the influence of good family education.
He spotted Jiang Se's shadow in the camera that flashed by, and caught a glimpse of her in the picture. Unexpectedly, he thought she was pretty when he saw her from a distance, and she was even more beautiful when he saw her up close.
"Liu Ye, what do you think?"
Zhang Jing'an pointed at Jiang Se, smiled, turned around and asked Liu Ye who was standing beside him.
Liu Ye nodded, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile:
"Director Zhang really has a good eye for talent."
In the entertainment industry where people are used to seeing beautiful women, Jiang Se's beauty also surprised Liu Ye a little.
She is beautiful without any artificiality, and her facial features are like jades carefully carved by God. In addition, youth is her capital. Even though Liu Ye has recently collaborated with Lu Bingbing and other well-known actresses in the circle, when he saw Jiang Se, he felt like he had eaten a big mouthful of ice cream in the hot summer.
However, being beautiful doesn’t mean you can act, and the thing that’s most in the circle is beautiful women.
To succeed in this industry, beauty is just a pass; how well you succeed depends on your personal opportunities.
Therefore, after Liu Ye's initial surprise, he quickly regained his composure.
The executive director at the side was also a little surprised, and turned to ask the script supervisor quietly:
"Who found it?"
The stage manager whispered:
"It should be Zhang Fan who found it."
"Director Zhang really has a good eye. After filming for a long time, we didn't find a good talent among the extras."
The executive director took note of this and turned to flatter Zhang Jingan:
"I saw it right away when you came."
Zhang Jingan did not comment, "We have to wait and see whether it is a good seedling or not."
Liu Ye sat up straight and looked Jiang Se up and down:
"I remember there was a scene in Daqing Village that needed a beautiful actress. Did Director Zhang find one?"
Zhang Jingan frowned after hearing this.
When everyone in the studio heard Liu Ye's words, they all opened their mouths in surprise.
Obviously they heard that the movie emperor was intentionally recommending this newcomer. Many people looked at Jiang Se with a different look, and they all felt that this girl was so lucky.
If Liu Ye, who won the Best Actor Award at the Arts Awards, could recommend her, there is a high probability that Zhang Jing'an would give him some face.
Jiang Se didn't know about the 'Daqing Village' scene that Liu Ye mentioned, but everyone present knew about it. That character didn't appear much, but he did have a role, and he was not like the extras who died as soon as they appeared.
What's more, Zhang Jing'an has been directing for many years. Although his output is not high, each of his films is internationally renowned. If Jiang Se can play a role in the film, her starting point for entering the entertainment industry will be very high, and her future prospects will be difficult to estimate.
Liu Ye didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said. Although Zhang Jing'an was an internationally renowned director, his request was not strict and Zhang Jing'an would most likely agree to it.
But to everyone's surprise, Zhang Jingan frowned and said after a moment's silence:
"Let's see."
He didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either.
The sunglasses on Liu Ye's face blocked the expression in his eyes. He was indeed an award-winning actor. At this moment, he had a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened:
"That's right."
"Jianghua Group intends to invest another 100 million."
Apparently, this matter was no longer news in the circle. At least when Jiang Se heard this, the people around him did not show any surprise on their faces.
Zhang Jing'an waved his hand, signaling the stage manager to take Jiang Se downstairs to change into costumes before coming back.
When Jiang Se turned to leave, the actor sitting on the chair glanced at her, then turned away silently, and said with a smile:
"It seems that Jianghua Group is determined to win "The Rescue Operation" this time." His words were meaningful.
When Jiang Se heard the words "Jianghua Group", his eyes were a little dazed, and the next moment he heard Zhang Jingan say:
"You know Zhongnan Industry, right?"
Jiang Se had already left the parasol with the stage manager and was several meters away from Zhang Jingan and others. However, when Zhang Jingan said this, she paused and her whole body tensed up.
"Zhongnan Industrial, Feng family? From Hong Kong?"
Liu Ye asked, and Zhang Jingan replied softly:
"Yeah." (To be continued)
