528 Chapter 528-not convinced

Tao cen’s gaze quickly became firm. Her unyielding belief suppressed the feeling of defeat that she felt. She tilted her head and laughed,

“How long do you need to rest?”

Song Yi did not dare to speak. Tao cen clenched her fist and placed it by her side. The news that Jiang se had gotten the lead role in “God’s redemption” had actually dealt a huge blow to Tao cen. However, at this moment, everyone in the company was probably waiting to see her make a fool of herself. The audience and netizens were all waiting for her to make a stand. In the coming days, she would see many people displaying the same cautious expressions as Song Yi before her.

To Tao cen, this expression was the greatest irony.

She tried her best to adjust her facial expression so Song Yi wouldn’t see the depression in her heart. She asked,

I remember when the official announcement of the cast for ‘God’s salvation’ was made, Jiang se wasn’t the main lead yet.

At that time, Donald’s partner was Laura, who was known as the Hollywood sweetheart. The fact that Jiang se and brown were able to get rid of the female lead in a foreign film with such a huge investment despite the fact that the film had already been filmed made Tao cen wary.

I’m not sure about the specific situation. Sister Xia returned to China a week ago and secretly met with the chairman. The news from the company said that it has a lot to do with Chesare’s protection.

Chessaray had the copyright to ‘the prisoner’ and had a lot of say in ‘the salvation of God’. He was not just a director who was paid for the filming, but also a big-name director who could directly participate in the share of the box office sales in the later stages. Jiang se had his support. I heard that Donald is on Jiang SE’s side as well. There are also people from Oriental Cinema working for him. In addition to her relationship with century Galaxy, Jiang se managed to secure the role of the female lead in ” God’s redemption ” through all these factors.

Regardless, Song Yi had to admit that Jiang se was very lucky.

It was a great opportunity for many people to work with a director like Chesare. Not only was she working with a big director like Chesare in her first European and American blockbuster, but she was also very lucky to be the female lead, acting with Donald.

Regardless of the movie’s final box office results, Jiang SE’s status had been elevated again and again. Not only would she be able to use these points to open up a path for herself and gain more opportunities internationally, she would also be able to stand on equal footing with Tao cen domestically. She would no longer be suppressed by Tao cen’s limelight.

Song Yi felt a little helpless. When Tao cen heard that Jiang SE’s position as the female lead in ” God’s salvation ” was secured by chessaray, she felt as if a bottle of mixed feelings had been knocked over. All sorts of feelings welled up in her heart.

She had tried to curry favor with chessaray in the past in hopes of getting more opportunities. However, this person was not easy to get close to. He was the only one who maintained a rather good relationship with Jiang se.

Tao cen was silent for a while. She quietly swallowed her anger and thought for a while before asking, ”

has the company heard about Jiang SE’s new plans after filming God’s redemption? ”

At the France Film Festival, when Tao cen and Jiang se were both nominated for the ‘Best Actress’ award, Tao cen had already predicted that there would be a dispute between him and Jiang se regarding status and reputation sooner or later.

There had to be a leader among the female stars in the century Galaxy. The company’s resources could not be shared equally with two people at the same time. There had to be an order of ranking.

After Tao cen asked this, Song Yi was clearly prepared and guessed her plan. He licked his lips and said, ”

I’ve asked around before. Sister Xia is very particular about Jiang SE’s endorsements and movies. She doesn’t seem to have any intention of putting a lot of work on her.

Compared to many female celebrities in Galaxy century who were too busy to split their attention, Jiang SE’s workload was not as great. She did not have to act in a show-off. When she took on a new film, she would definitely not take on a second one at the same time.

Instead, he would only consider other jobs after his first movie had hit the jackpot.

Jiang SE’s new plan is still unclear. The company has already prepared resources for her to choose from.

Song Yi paused for a while and glanced at Tao cen, ” however, before taking on Zhang Jingan’s a chance of survival, ” when Song Yi mentioned Zhang Jingan’s a chance of survival, Tao cen’s lips twitched. He continued, ”

there’s news from the company that sister Xia picked out a few scripts for Jiang se. She’s seen them and circled Huo Zhiming’s new drama.

Tao cen’s calm expression revealed some interest. Song Yi tactfully said,

sister Tao, I’m guessing that if it wasn’t for Zhang Jingan’s invitation, Jiang se might have accepted the film. He seemed to have recalled something.

at the same time, Lin xiwen from Shangjia contacted Jiang se before she accepted the role in God’s salvation. She wanted to invite her to star in her next movie.

Unfortunately, Lin xiwen’s invitation was rejected when Jiang se signed on to the cast of “God’s salvation “.

Tao cen waved his hand.

“Lin xiwen?” he asked. She reached out and tapped the table with her index finger, ”

don’t worry about him. Among his works, I’m afraid ‘event of Beiping’ is the peak of his career. Back then, Jiang se had made a name for herself through this film. She had even won the ‘Best Supporting Female lead’ award at the Chinese film Festival that year. That was how she got to know chessaray.

Perhaps, in Jiang SE’s heart, Lin xiwen’s identity was a benefactor who had once guided her. After all, when she accepted the role of “events of Beiping “, she was not famous and did not sign with any management company. When she first filmed this film, it was said that the pay was pitifully low.

Lin xiwen’s work wasn’t stable. His last movie had lost both box office sales and reputation, and the movie he made was criticized by netizens.

He had approached Jiang se to act probably because he wanted to ask her to help him restore his reputation in the name of an old friend.

It was normal that Jiang se did not take on the role. Even if she did not take on “God’s salvation,” she might not take on Lin xiwen’s role either.

Tao cen did not care about Lin xiwen, but she was interested in Huo Zhiming’s script, which Jiang se had once been interested in.

“On the other hand, Huo Zhiming’s new movie, ran ran.”

She had heard that Huo Zhiming was preparing to shoot a new movie, but she didn’t ask about it in detail.

Huo Zhiming’s condition was also unstable. He wasn’t young anymore and couldn’t adapt to the market environment. His recent works couldn’t capture the audience’s taste and the hearts of investors. Many producers looked at him with disdain when they mentioned him. However, this person was stubborn and refused to change his temper. His position in the industry was very awkward.

Song Yi immediately understood what Tao cen meant. As soon as Tao cen spoke, Song Yi said,

“Director Huo’s new movie has been giving him a headache about the investment.”

He glanced at Tao cen and gave him a ‘you know what I mean’ look.

Due to Huo Zhiming’s character and temper, many investors were unwilling to invest in his movies. He might not be able to cooperate with some famous movie stars, and the newcomers lacked experience and acting skills. In a desperate situation, Huo Zhiming searched everywhere for investors with scripts in his hands. in the end, I came to the chairman.

In recent years, Huo Zhiming’s works had not been satisfactory and he had been criticized badly. However, this old man had some skills in his early years and had some connections with artists. He came from a family of scholars and even had some friendship with Luo Yin.

Luo Yin was too embarrassed to reject the script. At that time, Tao cen was century Galaxy’s ‘top star’. Luo Yin naturally couldn’t bear to let Tao cen take on this unstable movie with such a big talent. Thus, Tao cen didn’t even take a look at the script.

When Xia Chaoqun was collecting scripts for Jiang se, the script was mixed into the resources that Jiang se could choose from and given to her.

To his surprise, Jiang se did not take a fancy to the movie scripts that Xia Chaoqun had carefully selected. Instead, she took a fancy to Huo Zhiming’s ” criminal suspect “. If Zhang Jingan had not found Jiang se by accident, she would have already finished filming ” criminal suspect ” and the movie would be in the post-editing stage.

Tao cen heard Song Yi’s detailed analysis and looked at him with approval.

This manager Luo Yin had personally chosen for her was far more reliable than Chen Jiao. She was smart and knew what to do. She had already found out what was going on and would not do anything unnecessary. Although it seemed that she did not help her much, she did not drag her down either. She felt very comfortable using her.

tell elder Luo later that I’d like to see what’s so good about the script that Jiang se has her eyes on for ‘suspect’.

Her words revealed her determination to win this movie. Song Yi wasn’t surprised at all and nodded.

in fact, I guessed that you would ask about this. I’ve already contacted Special Assistant Luo and used some methods to temporarily obtain the script.

The original script that Huo Zhiming had sent over had always been with Xia Chaoqun, but Luo ao naturally had his own ways of getting his hands on it.

When he said this, he saw the satisfied look on Tao cen’s face and couldn’t help but feel a little happy. He instructed his assistant to bring ‘suspect’ from his car and explained, ”

the script was printed from sister Xia. I heard that before this, a small star with the surname Feng had his eyes on this role and had been fighting for it.

However, because this celebrity with the surname Feng was not very famous, other than being born into a rich family, he had no acting skills to speak of. He was not on the same level as Tao cen, so there was naturally no possibility of him competing.

The person worth Tao cen’s attention was still Jiang se.

Xia Chaoqun had obviously kept the script for Jiang se. Tao cen’s intention to get the role of ” suspect ” was a clear sign that he wanted to compete with Jiang se. He might have a chance to talk to Luo Yin.

When the script for ” criminal suspects ” was sent to Tao cen, Xia Chaoqun had also copied the female lead’s name that was circled in the character outline of the script. Tao cen took a look at it and saw that it was the name of the female lead in the drama. She was a police officer who was righteous and full of compassion.

She was not surprised by such a thing. With Jiang SE’s current status, she would not be able to star in Huo Zhiming’s movie unless she was the female lead.

However, when she saw the circled name, it undoubtedly confirmed what song Yi had said earlier. Jiang se had indeed been interested in the movie and the characters in it.

Tao cen spent two days reading through the script of ” suspect “. She had also read through the character outline. It was no wonder that Jiang se was interested in the movie. Huo Zhiming’s script was already rather outstanding.

Starting from a few different branches, the story revolved around the main storyline. The image of the female lead,’Shen xuanran’, was very likable. She seemed to have all the good sides that the audience would like. She was kind, just, and strong. She had the gentleness of a woman, and a heart that believed that justice would win.

Jiang se was indeed very picky. If she took the lead role in this movie, as long as the actor’s acting skills did not fail and Huo Zhiming continued filming according to the script, it was obvious that the movie would perform well at the box office when it was released.

I’m sorry. Tao cen touched the script and then gently touched the circled ‘Shen xuanran’. Her gaze was firm. This role no longer belonged to Jiang se because she had decided to play it!

Tao cen had other work plans at the moment. Her work schedule was already scheduled to the end of the year. She had accepted the role of ” suspects “. If she wanted to free up time for filming, she would probably have to wait until next year to start filming. However, if she agreed to take on the role, Huo Zhiming would no longer have to worry about the investment. She believed that he would be willing to wait.

Her decision to take on this movie wasn’t out of Song Yi’s expectations. Song Yi reported her decision to the company.

Song Yi had no idea what the company’s higher-ups would do. He did not try to guess whether Luo Yin would feel a headache coming on. However, no matter how fast Jiang SE’s status rose, ” God’s salvation ” was still in the midst of filming. Tao cen was still the leading female star of century Galaxy in name. Luo Yin would still give her face.

Sure enough, two days later, Song Yi received news from Luo ao that the role of ‘Shen xuanran’ ended up in Tao cen’s hands.

Huo Zhiming had met Tao cen once in the middle of the movie. In terms of acting skills and fame, Tao cen was more than qualified to play ‘Shen xuanran’ in ‘suspect.’ She had more advantages than fan Zhiyun, whom Huo Zhiming had originally thought highly of.

After signing the contract with Tao cen, she was still filming on the set when Feng Nan received the news.

The call was from Huo Zhiming’s assistant. Dai Jia picked up the call on Feng Nan’s behalf. When the assistant said ‘I’m sorry’ in an extremely apologetic tone, a faint smile appeared on Dai Jia’s face.

More than two months ago, Dai Jia had resigned from her job as a waitress and applied to be Feng Nan’s assistant. Taking advantage of Feng Nan’s resignation as an assistant and the trouble that followed, she had easily snuck into Feng Nan’s side.

Compared to the other assistant who was trembling with fear when faced with Feng Nan’s scolding and beating, she was able to endure and was smart. She slowly began to take care of more of Feng Nan’s chores.

The set was in a mess. The director was a young man with little experience. The scene had been shooting for a few days, and Feng Nan would always hold back his impatience in a corner where no one was around before he vented.

The director’s shoot did not go smoothly. After the scene was replayed twice, several actors looked annoyed. The director had no choice but to call for a pause. When Feng Nan came over, Dai Jia had already unscrewed the cap of a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Feng Nan.

Feng Nan gave her a look of approval for her thoughtfulness and obedience.

“Who did you call first?”

After drinking two sips of water, Feng Nan pretended to ask nonchalantly.

The most important reason she had hired Dai Jia was not only because she had appeared at the same time as Jiang SE’s assistant had just left her post, but also because Dai Jia had once known Jiang se.

Feng Nan still remembered Dai Jia’s words when she applied for the job. She said that she and Jiang se were old acquaintances. In terms of acting skills and looks, Dai Jia was not bad. She even had an advantage over Jiang se, who had only been halfway through.

She had graduated from the imperial capital Film Academy. Back then, her starting point was much higher than Jiang SE’s. Jiang SE’s second movie, ” pretense to reality, ” had only been accepted because she had been introduced by her.

However, in the end, Jiang se was doing better than her. She had made a mistake when she was choosing her management company, which caused her to kill someone by accident. She ended up in jail for a few years, and her career as a star was ruined. Jiang se, who was not as good as her in many ways in the past, became a big star. As for Dai Jia, who was supposed to have a bright future, she could only become a waiter in a hotel.

This was the reason why Feng Nan was willing to use Dai Jia. The enemy of her enemy was her friend.
