Chapter 578
The article reported on Jiang SE’s conversation with the General Manager of the China region, Elysees. The reporter who wrote the news was clearly present at the charity banquet the night before.
With Jiang SE’s current status, she had attracted a lot of attention at a place like last night’s. It was not unusual for Gao Zhaoyang’s greeting to attract unwanted attention.
Both parties probably had the intention of greeting each other on this occasion. It could be considered as Elysees ‘early game to test the Chinese audience and figure out the market’s reaction.
However, to be able to notice the collaboration between Jiang se and Elysees and dare to publish such a piece of news without any concrete evidence, the media in China had seized the opportunity when the focus of the Chinese media’s attention was on the ‘auction’ between Jiang se and Tao cen.
With such a small matter, he easily drew the audience’s attention with the help of Jiang se and Tao cen.
She looked at the reporter who reported the news and saw that it was written below the name: Zhang Lan and Yu Zilin were reporting.
The name Zhang Lan was rather unfamiliar to Jiang se, but she had some impression of this Yu Zilin. She finished her breakfast and rinsed her mouth before coming out to check the market’s reaction to this matter. Only then did she realize that not only had the news attracted a large number of comments from netizens, but even her social media account had been attacked by netizens who had heard the news.
The assistants looked furious. Clearly, many of the comments were not ideal. Jiang se picked up her tablet, but mo Anqi tried to stop her.
don’t look at it. Just let us manage it. It was obvious that there were some extreme words in the message, and Mo Anqi was afraid that she would be angered.
However, Jiang se still wanted to see what the netizens in China thought about her collaboration with Elysees. She was not as weak as mo Anqi had imagined.
The number of comments was much better than Jiang se had expected. The most popular topic was divided into three factions.
One group consisted of Jiang SE’s fans. In the beginning, they were attracted by her image in “the 99th love letter “. Later on, they were convinced by her various works and became her fans. The netizens all felt that it was something worth being happy about when Jiang se was able to endorse Elysees ‘car.
These fans were sincerely working hard for their idol’s achievements, and they all left messages on her social account to congratulate and encourage her.
The other group was the audience who were skeptical about Jiang SE’s endorsement of elisees. In the ten years since elisees had entered China, Tao cen had always been the exclusive spokesperson for her. Although Jiang se had become very famous in recent years and had even obtained the special status of being the spokesperson for the Chinese region by fedarer midway, many of the audience in China felt that Tao cen’s image was deeply rooted. It would not be easy to replace her. They thought that it was just a rumor and that they had rushed over to verify it. They wanted to find out some clues.
On the other hand, Tao cen’s fans had a very strong reaction. They felt that Jiang se was ‘scheming’, disrespecting her seniors, and snatching their resources. Due to her young and beautiful appearance, she had been popular in century Galaxy in recent years. Now, she was even snatching Tao cen’s endorsement deal. It could be said that she was’ very despicable’.
[little Superman: congratulations to Sese for getting the endorsement of Elysees after getting fedarer. Well done!]
Mandy said,”if Sese can get the endorsement deal from the Elysees, she’ll be really amazing.”
Mrs. Yang: “although Huaxia information only said so and the matter hasn’t been confirmed yet, it’s great if it’s true! ever since Jiang se started her career, the few advertisements she has taken on have all been very stylish. The earliest one was Adele, and later on, the jewelry Brand Hong Kong Hua’s advertisement also amazed me. I still can’t forget that set of black and white photos that I took. He had changed his phone several times, but the screensaver was always the same. Later on, she also became the spokesperson for fedarer’s advertisement. The quality of the advertisement was more important than the quantity. She was looking forward to the moment when the photos of Elysees would be released!
The words of this netizen with the ID “Mrs. Yang” received the approval of most people. On the contrary, there were other different waves of comments in the comment area:
[sink: Tao cen has been the spokesperson for Elysees for the past ten years. Is it true that they’re changing their spokesperson at the last minute?] Should Jiang se come out and give an explanation?
[folk song of the grasslands: if it’s true that Elysees has changed their spokesperson, does that mean that there are some changes in Elysees?] Would it affect the brand image and quality of the car?
[dead of night: it’s hard to say whether this is true or not just based on the exposure by the reporter from Huaxia information. It might just be a joint hype by both sides. Everyone, let’s go.]
What followed were some of Tao cen’s fans ‘radical comments. Some of them expressed their anger that if the endorsement deal that belonged to Tao cen was really replaced by Jiang se, they would never buy Elysees’ car again.
Tao cen had been in the industry for many years. Ever since she became the spokesperson for Elysees, her sales had always been stable. Her fan base did not lack rich people either, so she did have the confidence to say such words.
Jiang se looked at it for a while before she put the tablet down.
According to mo Anqi, the official website of Elysees and its inquiry line were bombarded with calls asking about the spokesperson. The news of China Information was like a stone that set off a Thousand Waves.
Before Tao cen could respond, all the accusations were directed at Jiang se.
The majority of the netizens were very emotional about the change in spokesperson for Elysees this time. There were endless comments about ‘strike’. As soon as Xia Chaoqun’s company meeting ended, he immediately came over.
the company’s punishment has been decided.
Jiang se had a rough idea of the basic punishment. Luo Yin had already informed Xia Chaoqun in advance last night. Today, he had only received more detailed information.
after you’re done filming ‘immortal encounter,’ your job will only be to film the advertisement for the Elysees. Once the advertisement for Elysees ended, Jiang se had to ‘rest’ for a while. this will take about half a year. After Tao cen finishes filming the lost city 3, you’ll officially start working.
If there was no job in between, it meant that there was no income. However, Jiang se was not afraid.
She shrugged her shoulders. She had not been producing much in recent years, but the money she had earned was enough for her to spend. She did not have a fixed large expenditure at the moment. In addition, after the renewal of her contract with century Silver River, she would receive dividends from the stock every year. She was not afraid to rest for half a year.
Xia Chaoqun glanced at her.
I’ve done the math. You can prepare for this half a year and review your homework for your postgraduate entrance examination.
When Jiang se heard her say that, she was a little surprised. Xia Chaoqun lowered his head to read the information in his hands.
“You’re going to marry into the PEI family. Besides acting, you should also do something about other things.”
With the PEI family’s status, they did not need Jiang se to have a wealth of professional knowledge. However, their daughter-in-law could not be too weak either.
The more she learned, the better he would treat her. This half a year’s break was just nice for Jiang se to relax. Xia Chaoqun turned his head away.
“I’ve calculated the time. Even if you rest for half a year, it won’t affect you much. After the advertisements for the Elysees are released, it will bring you and the Elysees brand a lot of topics. After that, God’s salvation will also be released worldwide.” This was Jiang SE’s first movie with chessaray, and she was playing the female lead. The news was kept under tight wraps.
Once the news was exposed, it could bring about a storm-like impact on the Chinese entertainment industry. If the follow-up response to God’s salvation was good, Jiang se would be pushed to the altar. At that time, her limelight and reputation would be unparalleled.
“You don’t have to mind the dispute between you and Tao cen now.”
When Xia Chaoqun said this, Jiang se could not help but laugh.
“Sister Chaoqun, are you trying to comfort me?”
This did not sound like something Xia Chaoqun would say. However, when Jiang se asked this question, Xia Chaoqun fell silent for a while and actually responded with a faint “hmm” as an answer.
She was indeed consoling Jiang se. After her meeting at century Galaxy, she received a call from a lady she had worked with in the past. From her call, she learned that some ladies in Hong Kong’s upper-class had already found out through certain special channels that Elysees had indeed signed Jiang se as the spokesperson of Elysees’s sports car brand.
Some of the influential groups of ladies in the country and abroad had already joined forces and claimed that they would put pressure on Elysees to stop Jiang se from becoming their spokesperson.
This matter could be significant or minor. Xia Chaoqun had no intention of hiding it from Jiang se, so he told her everything.
In reality, Jiang se knew what was at stake when Xia Chaoqun decided to get the endorsement deal for Elysees for her. To get a good advertisement, one had to bear a lot of pressure.
Back when she had signed the contract with the federor watch, many people did not think highly of Jiang se. They thought that she could not compare to the International influential celebrities that federor had signed with over the years. There were also many so-called people of social class who thought that she would lower the value of the federor watch.
However, a few years had passed, and Jiang se was still the fedarer’s spokesperson in the Huaxia region. His stance had never wavered.
When the advertisement came out, the sales of fedarer’s wristwatches in China started to rise, and the sales volume was not inferior to that of Europe and the United States.
...
This not only proved that China was powerful and rich, and its purchasing power was not inferior to that of foreign countries, but it also proved that Jiang SE’s influence was strong enough to reverse the disadvantage of the federor watch’s domestic sales not rising.
Instead of worrying about those things, it was better to do as Xia Chaoqun had said and let the work speak for itself!
According to the original plan, the filming of ” immortal encounter ” would officially start in June. With Jiang SE’s current influence, the opening ceremony for ” immortal encounter ” would be a Grand one. The work had become popular even before filming had started. Even cui Xing, who had been in a somewhat dispirited state for the past few years and whose popularity had declined, had become a hot topic of discussion again.
The pre-production of ” immortal encounter ” was well-prepared, and the shooting process went smoothly. Other than Jiang se who had been studying the script after she decided to accept it, cui Xing, who was acting with her, also cherished this opportunity to work with her. He hoped to use ” immortal encounter ” to regain popularity and the audience’s attention. He put in a lot of effort in the shooting.
Therefore, the film that was originally planned to take 120 days to shoot ended in less than 110 days.
The final shooting location of ” immortal encounter ” was in Suzhou, and the crew’s end-of-production banquet was also set at a very local restaurant in Suzhou.
The crowd came to Jiang se one after another to toast her. The wine in Jiang SE’s glass had been replaced with mineral water at Xia Chaoqun’s signal. However, this did not affect the enthusiasm of the people who came to toast her. The current scene inevitably reminded her of the time when she had just stepped out of the world.
The most unforgettable thing for her was probably the end-of-production banquet for ” pretense to reality ” when she was pestered by Yao Xiang. Until now, no one dared to do that again.
She was slightly dazed and saw that cui Xing, who played the male lead, was also among the people who were toasting.
When the two of them first worked together, he was still the male lead while Jiang se was just an extra in the movie. After a few years, Jiang se had become the leading lead in ” immortal encounter “. She had two roles on her own. On the other hand, his popularity had dropped because he did not manage to get a suitable script.
Cui Xing raised his glass and waited quietly for the rest of the crew to toast Jiang se. In the noisy environment, his quiet smile reminded Jiang se of the wrap-up party for “love letter “.
...
He was quite famous back then and was supported by the Silver River of the century. At the end-of-production party, he was the one who was the star of the moon.
In the past, it had been difficult for Jiang se to even propose a toast to cui Xing with her position. It was only because Zhao rang cared for her so much that he had personally pulled her to cui Xing.
At that time, no one had changed the wine in her glass. She still remembered the feeling of forcing herself not to fall after she drank it in one gulp.
When she saw cui Xing again, Jiang se greeted the people around her and walked toward him.
He clearly did not expect Jiang se to do this. He was at a loss.
His career had not been going well in recent years, so cui Xing appeared to be in low spirits. When Jiang se stood in front of him, he was still a little dazed until she raised her glass.
thank you for taking care of me in ‘immortal encounter’, brother Xing.
He was supposed to say this, but cui Xing did not expect Jiang se to be the one to say it first. He smiled uneasily at first, then quickly finished the drink in one gulp. He frowned for a long time because of the spiciness.
Jiang se waited for him to catch his breath before he raised his head. He took out a handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He said awkwardly, ”
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. I’ve drunk it like this before.”
She smiled and shook her head. Cui Xing was stunned and coughed twice. His face turned even redder and he only calmed down after a while.
At this moment, cui Xing felt that he must be in a very sorry state. He did not expect Jiang se to take the initiative to propose a toast to him. He had drunk too quickly and too much. He was a little tipsy now and let his guard down. The relationship between the two of them after working together for the past few months had improved a lot compared to the time when they had just met each other. He could not help but ask, ”
“Sese, why are you stuttering?” he made a hand gesture, and gradually felt that his tongue was not listening to him.
“Why did you come to toast me?”
Even though he was the male lead in ” immortal encounter, ” everyone in the crew knew how he had gotten the role. He might have to wait a while before he could toast Jiang se.
a few years ago, not long after I started my career. Jiang se beckoned for her assistant to pour some hot water for cui Xing. I also attended the wrap-up party for ‘love letter’.
When she said this, cui Xing’s expression changed slightly and his eyes revealed a look of vigilance. He thought that she was taking this opportunity to mock him.
He must have experienced the fickleness of human nature in the past few years.
Jiang se seemed to have guessed his thoughts. She gestured.
don’t worry, I don’t have any other intentions. I just remembered that when I was still a newcomer, it wasn’t easy for me to toast to brother Xing. However, the current director Zhao helped me and brought me to you.
She held the cup and lowered her head to smile.
life has its ups and downs. When I’m at my lowest, I’m always lucky to have someone to help me.
She knew that during the filming of ” immortal encounter, ” cui Xing had been holding back. The company had sent him to the production team and asked Jiang se to take care of him. Perhaps he was feeling very upset. Therefore, he was often silent during filming. Sometimes, he probably felt embarrassed.
Back then, at the wrap party for ” love letter “, Zhao rang appreciated talent and helped her. Now, she only wanted to imagine Zhao rang at that time, helping others when he had the ability.
Just as her master Chang Yuhu had said, the road ahead was filled with wind and rain. The road was narrow at night and extremely difficult to walk on. She hoped that someone could hold an umbrella to shelter her from the rain and wind.
The current Jiang se did not dare to claim that she was capable. She was only doing what she could. She hoped that she could give cui Xing some confidence and make him more motivated.
