Chapter 350
When she said this, Jiang se was amused.
It was rare for Xia Chaoqun to say something like ‘being a busybody’. This piqued Jiang SE’s interest. She stopped for a moment and asked, ”
why did you insist on ‘suspect’? and why did you insist on meeting Huo Zhiming even though you knew he was the director? ”
Xia Chaoqun was indeed very curious about this. In fact, she didn’t even try to hide her curiosity.
I thought you’ve seen the script for ‘shadow’ among the scripts I sent over this time.
“Shadow is really good.” Jiang se had not read the script for “shadow” yet, but she had already finished reading the novel. From a female’s point of view, it described the psychological trauma the female protagonist had when she was young. It had caused a huge impact on her growth and life later on.
“In fact, if you didn’t mention Huo Zhiming in” suspect,”you didn’t have to take it.” Jiang se told him her original intention honestly. She could sense that Xia Chaoqun must be frowning when he heard what she said.
but Huo Zhiming is an interesting person, and ... she dragged out her tone and said with a smile, ”
“His movies are very difficult to figure out.”
Between the main character and the supporting role, no one could be sure until the dust settled.
Some people thought he was crazy, while others thought he was a genius. His ideas changed all the time, causing the movies he made to often exceed the budget.
These characteristics not only made his crew members dislike him, but even the investors would be furious when they mentioned him. In addition, the box office performance of his movies was not stable, which was the most important reason why he had no new works for many years.
“Since you understand, why do you insist on seeing him?”
After Xia Chaoqun asked this, Jiang se said, ”
“It’s because of you,”
“Because of me?” Xia Chaoqun retorted, ”
“Isn’t it because of the chairman?”
“When I was filming” demon,”Anqi asked me a question.”
Jiang se changed the topic and mentioned ” demon, ” which had already finished filming. The two topics seemed completely unrelated, but Xia Chaoqun strangely understood what Jiang se was trying to say.
She chuckled softly. She already knew what Jiang se meant by mo Anqi’s question.
she once asked why she accepted the role of ‘demon’ despite your opposition.
When they received the script for ” demon, ” Xia Chaoqun had once objected to it. He pointed out all sorts of things that Jiang se was not suitable for. On the surface, it seemed like he was trying to persuade her to give up.
The situation back then was very similar to what was happening now.
“Then how did you answer?”
Xia Chaoqun asked with a smile. Jiang se then said, ”
I said at the time that if you really didn’t want me to take on the role of ‘demon,’ this script would never have appeared in my hands.
She used the conversation she had with mo Anqi to indirectly answer Xia Chaoqun’s question.
By the same logic, if Xia Chaoqun really felt that Jiang se was not suitable for ‘suspect’, she would not have mixed this script into a pile of scripts and handed it to Jiang se.
This had nothing to do with century Galaxy’s Luo Yin. Even if Luo Yin and Huo Zhiming were old friends, even if Luo Yin wanted to help Huo Zhiming, as Xia Chaoqun had said, most of century Galaxy’s celebrities had received the script. However, if Xia Chaoqun did not want Jiang se to receive it, she would definitely have a way to push it back.
“I will arrange the time.”
Xia Chaoqun didn’t ask any more questions, nor did he have any intention of chatting with her. After hanging up the phone, she rested her chin on her phone and smiled.
She did have the intention of letting Jiang se watch ” suspect “. The reason why she had repeatedly warned Jiang se was also to fulfill her role as a manager.
When Luo Yin handed her the information on ” suspect “, she was not like most of the managers in century Galaxy who were afraid that their stars would take on this difficult job and tried to find ways to avoid it.
After getting the information and finding out that the director of ” suspect ” was Huo Zhiming, Xia Chaoqun had already analyzed it. This could be a trap, but it could also be an opportunity.
Huo Zhiming’s instability represented the unknown. It was like a gamble. This was not without its benefits for Jiang se.
First of all, she had gradually opened up her territory in China. The release of two popular movies last year had maintained her exposure and topic of conversation at a very good position.
However, to Xia Chaoqun, this was not enough. She still needed an opportunity for her career to rise.
Although her collaboration with Liu Ye had elevated Jiang SE’s status slightly, in the eyes of the audience, most people would think that Jiang se was trying to climb up Liu Ye’s social ladder by cooperating with him.
This was the inherent impression in the hearts of movie fans. In other words, in the hearts of the audience, there were also rankings for celebrities.
Jiang se was too young and had not been in the industry for long. No matter how good her acting skills were, how hard she worked, her and Liu Ye’s performances in the movie, or whether they were evenly matched, the audience would think that Liu Ye was helping her.
Xia Chaoqun did not only want this.
On the other hand, Huo Zhiming’s previous movies were unstable. Before he was ready to start shooting ” the suspect, ” his last movie was criticized by many people for being deliberately mystifying. Most people said that he couldn’t understand what the director was trying to express.
He didn’t have a good reputation in the industry, and the actors and investors didn’t have a good impression of him. Many people even pointed out that his movies had no future.
If Jiang se were to work with him at this time and use her fame to attract the audience’s attention to ” suspect “, regardless of whether the audience was looking forward to it or thought that Jiang se was involved, ” suspect ” might be another lousy film after Huo Zhiming’s previous work. Once the attention was on it, it would naturally not have to worry about not being a hot topic.
Most importantly, Xia Chaoqun had also considered that even if ‘suspect’ did not do well at the box office and Jiang SE’s reputation was affected,’demon’, which she and Liu Ye were working on, would be screened worldwide in March next year. By then, the publicity for’ demon ‘would be overwhelming, and this period of unhappiness would be swept away.
On the other hand, once the box office performance of ‘suspect’ stabilized, all the credit would go to Jiang se.
To Jiang se, she was not lacking in reputation, beauty, or acting skills. What she lacked was an important opportunity like this.
suspect “was a gamble that would not bring much harm to Jiang se. When Xia Chaoqun saw the script, he had already thought of the outcome of the bet.
