Chapter 594
To many people, a talented and famous person like chessaray was like a figure above the clouds. In the eyes of his fans, he had long been deified.
Tao cen had dealt with chessaray before, so she had more say in this matter than most people.
Chessley’s pride was in his bones. His gentle and polite appearance was just to hide the unbridled nature in his blood.
However, such a difficult character had repeatedly expressed his admiration for Jiang se. A few years ago, at the French Film Festival, he had even watched “demon “, which Jiang se had starred in. He had even saved a spot for Jiang se in his new film,” God’s salvation “. In the end, Jiang se had replaced Laura as the main lead in “God’s salvation “.
All of this showed that the friendship between chessaray and Jiang se was far stronger than what the public could see. Tao cen had never been able to figure out the reason behind this.
When she heard Jiang se mention it in the interview, she took a look at it seriously.
“The imperial capital’s first Academy has a very rich collection of books. There are all kinds of books for the teachers and students to borrow. When I was in my first year of University, I didn’t sign a contract with any management company, and my workload wasn’t that heavy. My time was relatively free, so I spent most of my time in the library.”
When Jiang se said this, Sheng Jingzhi also revealed a nostalgic expression.
At that moment, many people who were watching the interview in front of the camera had a deeper understanding of Jiang se.
After a young and beautiful girl graduated from high school, her life should have turned into a whole new chapter, and it would be difficult for her to calm down.
Tao cen recalled the time when she was 18 years old. She had long aspired to enter the entertainment industry. At that time, in her spare time from school, she had placed her focus on getting more screen time and getting advertising endorsements.
it was a coincidence. I borrowed an English novel from school. It had a religious meaning and was very interesting. The incident had happened a few years ago. Jiang se thought about it for a while.
that book was mixed with a lot of religious knowledge and was placed in the corner. Not many people found ‘her’, so I borrowed’ her ‘as a way to revise my English.
After reading ” the prisoner “, she realized that the novel was very well written. It contained a lot of religious knowledge and human irony. Through the novel, she could see the original author’s cultivation, breadth of mind, and connotation. that year, at the Chinese film Festival, Cesare happened to attend it. He also liked ‘the prisoner’ very much, so we made friends.
She made it sound like it was nothing. However, behind their friendship was Jiang SE’s knowledge and self-restraint. She needed to keep up with chessaray’s thinking in order to be on par with him.
It was because of her private study and reading that it was possible to grasp the opportunity when it came.
This interview was of great significance.
If Jiang SE’s former fans had seen her acting skills through movies and her beauty through advertising endorsements, then this interview would allow more people to get a glimpse of Jiang SE’s private life.
It was as if her fans had drawn a circle for her. Tonight’s interview had been colored by her own colors in the circle, making her image in the public’s mind more distinct.
He knew what kind of girl she was, how hard she had worked for the film, and how her friendship with Chesare came from God’s salvation. In the end, she even participated in the filming of God’s salvation.
For more than an hour, Tao cen felt very strange.
She would be lying if she claimed that she understood Jiang se completely in such a short period of time. However, Jiang SE’s performance in the past hour had exceeded her expectations.
She had thought that Xia Chaoqun had chosen Jiang se because she was young and beautiful. She also thought that she had potential and resources that rivaled her own. Hence, Xia Chaoqun had given up on his old self and chose Jiang se, who had more potential.
Initially, she had thought that Jiang se, whom Xia Chaoqun had taken a fancy to, was similar to her in certain aspects. She should be busy fighting for endorsements and getting movie resources. She would not give up on any opportunity and face the world with ambition.
However, during the interview, Jiang SE’s life was not rushed. She gave off an extremely calm feeling. She was not in a hurry to fight for scripts or endorsements. Her pace was slow, but each step she took was very steady. It felt as if even the wind and rain would not shake her.
Tao cen had practiced the piano, dance, and fitness that Jiang se had mentioned. He had put in a lot of effort and sweat. Tao cen felt that he was not inferior to Jiang se in any way.
Like Jiang se, she had worked with Xia Chaoqun for many years. It was inevitable that their living habits would overlap.
However, Tao cen suddenly realized that she and Jiang se should have had something in common. If she and Jiang se were like a piece of paper, and Xia Chaoqun was the writer, she had been working with Xia Chaoqun for many years. Xia Chaoqun’s unique traits, such as ambition, diligence, and drive, had been picked up by Xia Chaoqun. On the other hand, after working with Xia Chaoqun for so many years, the greatest contrast between Jiang se and the current Tao cen was that she still had her own unique traits.
She also had her own ambitions. She clearly knew what she wanted. She wanted to get the role of Zhang Yuqin in ” the demon. she knew her own shortcomings and worked hard to practice.
He wanted to cooperate with Liu Ye, so he acted as if he wanted to ask for help.
He wanted to film ” the lost city ” directed by chessaray, went to study archeology for a character in the film, went to the grave with the team, and disappeared from the entertainment industry for half a year. If they liked God’s salvation, they would try their best to become the female lead.
On a certain level, she was somewhat similar to Tao cen, but there were also very distinct differences between them.
After Xia Chaoqun terminated his contract with Tao cen, he had been thinking about the reason behind it.
Was it because she was old and her development in the entertainment industry was restricted, or was it because Xia Chaoqun felt that her development was too slow? Tao cen had even thought about whether it was because Xia Chaoqun felt that he could no longer bring her any new challenges. However, she only realized now that the reason Xia Chaoqun had given up on her might have been because she had lost her own unique characteristics over the years.
Tao cen could no longer remember what she had originally been like. She had been in this industry for more than ten years. During the years she had worked with Xia Chaoqun, she had been like a circle that had been polished from a square shape. She had been polished until she was smooth, and the audience had liked her. However, she had nothing to do with the original her in Xia Chaoqun’s eyes.
“So, it’s like this, Yingluo.”
Tao cen’s mouth twitched. He wanted to laugh but he could not.
In a certain aspect, she was like Xia Chaoqun’s shadow. The way she handled problems and her knowledge were too similar to Xia Chaoqun’s. In the end, she blurred her own image and was abandoned.
At this moment, Tao cen’s smile was a bit cold. When Song Yi looked at her, he shivered for no reason.
As the number of viewers increased, Jiang SE’s personal interview reached a record of 300 million views in the end. Hua Xia information became the biggest winner of the night. The interview ended after an hour and a half, but many fans were still not satisfied.
Even though she didn’t say much, and compared to her real life, what she revealed was only the tip of the iceberg, it was enough to satisfy many fans.
When Sheng Jingzhi announced the end of the interview, many people were reluctant to leave. Even though the livestream had been closed, there were still people who were unwilling to leave Huaxia information’s official website. They kept talking and asked if Huaxia information could conduct another interview about Jiang se.
At this time, the advertisement was played in the live broadcast room. They knew that the interview was over, but He Cong and his best friend were still staring at the screen, hoping for a miracle to be born.
At this moment, just like them, many people were waiting for Jiang SE’s reappearance. Even though everyone knew that the interview was over, it was possible that Jiang se had already left the live-stream and was about to remove her makeup and change her clothes.
Her best friend was silent. In her mind, the impression she had of Jiang se was: She was intelligent when it came to acting, her movies were moving, she graduated from the imperial capital’s first university, and she was currently the most popular female star in the entertainment industry. Furthermore, her best friend had assumed that Jiang se might use her background to suppress others because of her incident with Zhu pan.
However, today’s exclusive interview had completely washed away the ‘arrogant and conceited’ image that Jiang se had left in her mind.
In private, it was difficult for people to associate her with ‘arrogance’. On the contrary, she was elegant and gentle, which made people feel good about her.
“What should I do? I think I’m starting to like her.”
Her best friend mumbled to herself. In the past, no matter how many times she had watched Jiang SE’s movies and followed Jiang SE’s news, she had always refused to admit that she was Jiang SE’s fan. However, at this moment, she could not help but feel emotional because of an interview.
The next day, all the major media outlets brought up Jiang SE’s interview. After the wave of hype,’Jiang SE’s interview’ became a phenomenal topic. Tao cen’s original plan was naturally crushed in the cradle.
The hype brought about by the interview would not die down in a short period of time. However, century Galaxy remained silent about this. Luo Yin also did not pursue Xia Chaoqun’s decision to act first and report later.
His attitude allowed many people to figure out where Luo Yin’s bottom line was. As long as it did not damage his artiste’s image or the company’s interests, Luo Yin was willing to tolerate the conflict between Tao cen and Jiang se to a certain extent.
...
After the talk show, Jiang se ignored the public opinion and her fight with Tao cen. She focused on preparing for the exams in January.
She had already been revising for more than a year. Xia Chaoqun had signed her up long ago. After her exams, her work with Tao cen had come to an end. She would then join the cast of ‘criminal suspects’ and officially begin filming.
Early January passed quickly. Jiang se, who had just finished her exams, received the information on ‘suspect’ that Xia Chaoqun had prepared.
Tao cen’s work would be completed around February, which meant that ‘suspect’ would start filming in accordance with her, the female lead, and would start filming around February.
This time, the information on “suspect” that Huo Zhiming had brought over was far more detailed than before. When Jiang se opened the folder, other than the script, story outline, and character outline of “suspect “, there was also a newly bound” suspect “.
“It seems like the story is a little different.” When Jiang se received the newly bound copy of “suspect,” she could tell at a glance that the thickness was different from the original copy she received.
She flipped through the document that had the label ‘character outline’ printed on it. When she took it out, she noticed that the part of ‘Zhong Qi’ that she was supposed to play had been changed to ‘Su Yi’.
Xia Chaoqun nodded. this is the reason why I didn’t give you time to rest.
Jiang se was very busy during her postgraduate entrance examination. By right, Xia Chaoqun would give her a few days to rest after her examination. however, Huo Zhiming has changed the script at the last minute. So, you’ll have to re-read the script, the outline, and the characters ‘life stories that you’ve read before.
Zhang Chi handed Xia Chaoqun a cup of coffee. She took a sip and said, ”
“You can treat it as a whole new story.”
...
It had already been a month, and the crew was expected to start shooting in February. At this time, Huo Zhiming had made a big change to the script, which meant that all the preparatory work in the early stage had been rendered useless.
Jiang se frowned. Before this, she had heard of Huo Zhiming’s unruly behavior.
However, hearing about it was one thing, and actually facing it was another.
She took a deep breath. Xia Chaoqun glanced at her.
the biggest change is in your scene. It won’t affect Tao cen much. Make the best use of this time and familiarize yourself with the entire story before you join the crew. At the same time, memorize the general plot that you’re going to shoot earlier.
Jiang se had a vague feeling that something was not right. She could not help but ask, ”
sister Chaoqun, director Huo Zhiming wouldn’t suddenly change the plot during the shooting, would he? ”
Xia Chaoqun looked at her serious expression and could not help but laugh.
“That’s hard to say.”
Huo Zhiming was famous for his stubbornness. The old man insisted on having his own style and would never bow down to investors, the market, or actors. Even though the two female stars he was working with this time were not small, he did not have the slightest intention of compromising.
This was also the reason why he had been less and less accepted by the market in recent years. However, people with personalities would always be gradually marginalized.
Jiang se felt a slight headache coming on. Having been in the industry for so many years, she had rarely encountered such a willful person. Xia Chaoqun saw her frowning as she flipped through the script. He put down the coffee cup in his hand and consoled her, ”
during this time, I took a quick look at the script. It’s actually more beneficial for you after the script has been changed.
The character ‘Zhong Qi’ that Jiang se was supposed to play previously had a monotonous background. The character’s image was not stable, and she had to rely on the actor to play it well. Although it was challenging, there were also many hidden dangers.
After Huo Zhiming’s modification, the character was changed to ‘Su Yi’. The character image was much more developed, so there were advantages and disadvantages to Huo Zhiming changing the script at the last minute.
At this point, there was no point in grumbling. Time was tight. Although Jiang se felt rather helpless, she might as well read the script instead of wasting her time grumbling. It would be more beneficial for the shooting later.
