569 Chapter 569

Sese, we just received an email from ‘the grace of the times’. They’ve arranged for you, Liu Ye, and Zhang Jingan to host the charity dinner.

Ever since ” a chance of survival ” had been released at the end of March, it had been receiving a good reputation. Currently, it was also being discussed by the public. It was normal for Jiang se, Liu Ye, and Zhang Jingan to walk the red carpet at the same time when the movie was about to stop screening.

The three of them appearing at the same time should have excited the onlookers. Perhaps it could create a final wave of momentum for “a chance of survival” and make the box office sales surge again before the movie stopped screening.

However, mo Anqi could not help but recall the first time she accompanied Jiang se to receive an invitation from ” the grace of the times “. Jiang se was arranged to walk down the red carpet with a group of celebrities. After that, she only managed to walk in front of the opening ceremony because of Liu Ye and Zhang Jingan’s invitation.

With Jiang SE’s current status, she naturally did not need to rely on Liu Ye’s reputation to boost her.

Mo Anqi held the printed document and pulled a chair over to sit beside Jiang se.

“The donations and auction items have been prepared.”

With Jiang SE’s current wealth, she would not be in the awkward situation of not having any valuable items to donate to the charity banquet she had attended in the past.

She was the spokesperson for Hong Kong treasures and fedarer’s watch. Every year, the two major companies would give her some branded products, especially Hong Kong. Jiang SE’s actions when she renewed her contract back then had left a good impression on Xu Zhouji. Every year, Xu Zhouji would personally instruct his son-in-law to prepare the gifts for her.

On Jiang SE’s birthday, he would also get the jewelry master from Hong Kong to design unique designs for her. He was very sincere in maintaining the friendly relationship between the two.

Xia Chaoqun had picked out a pair of limited-edition diamond bracelets from Hong Kong jewelry three years ago for Jiang se. The current market price was around 200000 Yuan.

After the auction at the charity banquet, it should be sold for a price much higher than the market price.

At the same time, after the financial manager, Yu Wei, did the calculations for Jiang se, he suggested that she donate 1.6 million.

The amount of money donated and the items put up for auction were similar to Jiang SE’s reputation. It would not be too ostentatious and would not Sully her status.

Jiang se glanced at it and nodded, acknowledging Xia Chaoqun’s arrangement. After signing the document, mo Anqi kept the document. however, the organizer has arranged for Tao cen to be the finale of this year’s ‘the grace of the times’ charity gala.

the grace of the times ” had been holding charity banquets for many years and had always been the focus of attention from both the industry and the public. As the number of times it was held increased, the number of business and political celebrities who attended such banquets also increased year by year. The venue was full of stars, and the fans of major stars and many netizens were paying attention to such banquets.

The opening and finale were all important figures. With Jiang SE’s current status, she was already considered one of the most eye-catching female celebrities in China. Her achievements were obvious, so she was naturally suitable to be the opening.

However, in comparison, she, Liu Ye, and Zhang Jingan started the show at the same time. The lineup was already quite impressive. The finale guest was Tao cen. It gave people the impression that Tao cen’s weight was on par with Liu Ye, Jiang se, and Zhang Jingan.

Back then, Jiang se had been nominated for Best Actress at the France Film Festival at the same time as Tao cen for ” the demon. in recent years, she had also acted in chessaray’s movie as an advertising spokesperson. This had created the impression that she was on par with Tao cen. It was possible that this dinner would break that impression.

Mo Anqi clenched her fists and thumped her thigh.

“Tao cen and the others are too cunning.”

It was indeed impossible to guard against such a battle for status, but rather than thinking about it, it was better to spend time on works and endorsements.

On the day of the charity banquet, Jiang se, Liu Ye, and Zhang Jingan’s appearance caused a wave of shrieks from the fans. The organizer of the charity banquet, ” the grace of the times “, had no choice but to deploy additional security at the last minute to prevent any mishaps.

Jiang se, Liu Ye, and Zhang Jingan were surrounded by reporters at the scene for an interview.

Apart from expressing their interest in Liu Ye and Jiang se working together again in ” a chance to live, ” many people still felt that they had not had enough after watching ” a chance to live. they asked if there was any possibility of the three of them working together again. At the same time, they asked about their future work plans.

As there were many reporters at the scene, in addition to the overly enthusiastic fans, it had already affected the entrance of the rest of the people at the dinner.

The organizer had no choice but to step in and help. When the three of them entered the hall, Jiang SE’s forehead was covered in sweat.

The makeup artist who had accompanied her quickly touched up her makeup. Xia Chaoqun even reminded Jiang se, ”

“Someone from the Elysees company is here too. They should already know that you’re here.”

She had signed the contract with Elysees. With an endorsement fee of 10 million, Jiang se would be the spokesperson for the company’s new car, leopard, for two years.

The news had not been announced yet. Elysees was also very concerned about adding a spokesperson for the first time in their ten years in China. This time, the France head office had sent someone to approach and sign the contract with Jiang se. Elysees had the intention of getting the genius of the French advertising industry, Martin, to tailor a standalone advertisement for her. Currently, plans were in the works.

In this way, the advertisement could not be shot in a short time. If everything went well, it would probably be shot at the end of the year.

Therefore, there was no need to change Jiang SE’s original schedule. She would film ” immortal encounter ” as planned. After the movie was completed, she would then shoot the advertisement for the Elysees sports car.

Since Xia Chaoqun had reminded her that someone from Elysees would be coming, he should have also been reminding her that the person from Elysees would come and greet her due to the contract between both parties.

Jiang se nodded. After she had her makeup touched up, the people who had walked down the red carpet in twos and threes entered the room. During this time, people kept coming over to greet her. When the people from the major film production companies noticed Jiang se, they tried to approach her to strike up a conversation. However, they were all stopped by her assistants.

When Tao cen finally entered the venue, the invited reporters also entered the venue in groups.

Before the banquet officially started, Jiang se went to look for the person in charge of the Steinway piano store, Mr. CapMan. She immediately got up and walked toward him.

Ever since Jiang se became the spokesperson for the watch jointly developed by fedarer and Steinway, she had been in constant contact with CapMan. When CapMan saw her, he smiled and extended his arms to give her a hug.

“Jiang, it’s a pleasure to meet you here.”

Before Jiang se could reply, Tao cen’s voice was heard.

“Miss Jiang,”

Jiang se turned around. Tao cen, who was wearing a fishtail gown, smiled at her.

“Congratulations on joining the Elysees team. I’m very happy to work with you in the future.”

She extended her hand to Jiang se. When Chapman saw this, he made a polite gesture. Just as he was about to leave some space for Jiang se and Tao cen to talk, Tao cen turned to look at Chapman after shaking hands with Jiang se.

Hello, Mr. CapMan. It’s a pleasure to meet you tonight, Momo.

She greeted him naturally. Even though the smile on Chapman’s face was not very warm, Tao cen did not seem to notice it.

Naturally, the media reporters from afar had seen the conversation between Tao cen and Jiang se. As they were trying to guess their relationship, the people from Elysees, whom Xia Chaoqun had warned earlier, came over.

“Miss Jiang,”

The person attending tonight’s charity event from Elysees was the General Manager of the Huaxia region. He was a middle-aged man in his forties and wore glasses. His name was Gao Chaoyang. Jiang se had met him before when she signed the contract with Elysees.

He shook Tao cen’s hand and then smiled at Jiang se. Jiang se could only smile apologetically at him before turning around to talk to him.

In the media stands, Yu Zilin from Huaxia Intel recognized Chapman first. When she saw Gao Zhaoyang, she was shocked.

“What’s going on?”

The colleagues around her were confused when they heard her words.

Tonight, the colleague in charge of the entertainment section of Huaxia information was delayed by something, so the higher-ups transferred people to be in charge of the interview and shooting of the charity dinner.

Yu Zilin had rushed over when she suddenly received the news. Fortunately, women were interested in gossip. She would usually pay attention to news in the entertainment industry. With the help of her other colleague, Xiao Zhang, the interview went smoothly. She even managed to ask Jiang se, Liu Ye, and Zhang Jingan a few questions earlier. She was already halfway through her mission for the night.

He had thought that the rest of his work would be to take photos of the scene and remember some of the celebrities ‘auction items. He did not expect Yu Zilin to see this scene.

For people in the entertainment section, they paid more attention to celebrities and their gossip, but if they didn’t do enough research in advance, they might not be able to recognize people in the business world.

Yu Zilin was the exact opposite. She was originally in charge of finance and culture, so she recognized the head of Steinway, CapMan, and Gao Chaoyang, at a glance.

Seeing her colleague’s expression, she looked around and turned her face to the side. She lowered her voice and said, ”

after Tao cen went over to say hello, did you see the person who was chatting? that’s the person in charge of Steinway in China.

Xiao Zhang followed her words and looked over, just in time to see Tao cen having a heated conversation with the person-in-charge of Steinway.

She was indeed a smooth talker. At first, as they were unfamiliar with each other, when she went to greet him, he wasn’t too enthusiastic. However, after a while, he started smiling.

As the person in charge of Steinway piano in China, CapMan was not a high-profile person. He rarely interacted with the media and maintained a low-key, aristocratic-like luxury.

People who were related to the elegant art of music would more or less have a bit of pride in their bones. The only piano in Steinway that had anything to do with the entertainment industry was when Zhao rang was filming ” the 99th love letter ” a few years ago.

It was also because of that fateful encounter that Jiang SE’s distance from Steinway had been pulled so close. Back then, Steinway had even invited Jiang se to their China’s 30th-week anniversary.

However, he had never heard of Tao cen’s relationship with the Steinway piano. It was already a remarkable feat to be able to strike up a conversation with CapMan on such an occasion.

However, Yu Zilin didn’t care about that. have you seen Gao Zhaoyang? He’s the General Manager of the China region, Elysees.”

Yu Zilin’s words immediately made the colleague understand.

The brand Elysees was so famous that all Chinese people might have heard of it.

Most importantly, Tao cen had been his spokesperson for ten years.

“Logically speaking, if the General Manager of Elysees wants to chat, he should be chatting with Tao cen.”

It would have been fine if Tao cen had not come. However, Tao cen was clearly there, but Gao Zhaoyang had a conversation with Jiang se. It seemed like the two of them had a lot to talk about.

Yu Zilin’s eyes widened as she tried to guess, ”

“Is the company Elysees going to change their spokesperson?”

Tao cen had been endorsing for Elysees for ten years. In the eyes of many of his fans, perhaps Elysees was exclusive to Tao cen. If they were to change the spokesperson rashly, Tao cen’s reputation and status would not decline. It might cause a stir in China!

Xiao Zhang was a little excited. He quickly picked up his phone and chatted with Yu Zilin while typing, ”

“But we didn’t receive any news before this? Wouldn’t the industry receive some news and clues in advance if such a big name wanted to change their spokesperson?”

If this piece of news was confirmed, it could be a major piece of news.

In China, news that Jiang se and Tao cen were under the same management company and yet were not as peaceful as they appeared to be had been circulating. The fans of both parties did not get along well either. However, when the media, fans, and netizens heard the rumors, there was no concrete evidence to prove it.

Yu Zilin could imagine how excited the managing editor would be once Jiang se was confirmed to be the spokesperson for Elysees.

“It’s hard to say. They’re probably in the process of getting in touch with him. It’s possible that Elysees has their own intentions as well. After all, Tao cen has been the spokesperson for ten years. It’s not impossible for Elysees to change their spokesperson to another female celebrity.”

In fact, Yu Zilin had never heard of Elysees changing the spokesperson. Tao cen had been famous for many years and had many works. She also had a lot of fans. If Tao cen did not have any serious character problems and she had a good image, changing the spokesperson rashly might cause a backlash from Tao cen’s fans.

However, Yu Zilin sensed that something was off about Gao Zhaoyang and Jiang SE’s conversation.

Speed and sensitivity were the key to making news in the media industry. Even though she did not have any evidence at the moment, she still quickly took out her phone and secretly turned on the camera. She took a photo of Jiang se and quickly sent it back to the company.

Gao Chaoyang told her about how the company had come up with an advertisement plan based on Jiang SE’s image and aura. When they were done with the discussion and Jiang se returned, Tao cen was already having a good time chatting with Chapman.

Wanwan, I remember that I was only 25 years old when I started filming ‘extraordinary events’. At that time, I received my first big pay, which was as much as two million Yuan. She smiled and chatted with CapMan, bringing up the atmosphere. A few celebrities around her had already leaned over and listened to her. “I used the money to buy a Steinway piano for myself as a gift. After the piano was delivered, I couldn’t wait to play a part of it, record it as a video, and send it out. At that time, a friend in the channel said,”Tao cen, you’ve only made a few movies and become popular for a short period of time. Why are you learning to be like other people? do you think that you can show off your wealth by wearing a watch that costs a few hundred thousand Yuan?””

The moment Tao cen said this, everyone around them burst into laughter. Even Chapman laughed along.

With Tao cen’s current status in the country, she had been acting for many years and was very rich. For an actress like her, a watch worth more than 100000 Yuan might just be a daily decoration. It was not enough to show off.

However, after hearing her own words, many people still laughed.

Mo Anqi was also listening to Tao cen’s words. Seeing that the atmosphere was harmonious, she had a helpless expression on her face.

Initially, Xia Chaoqun wanted Jiang se to get closer to Mr. CapMan tonight to see if there was any possibility of working together. However, judging from the current situation, Tao cen had practically ruined everything.

I was young and impetuous at that time. When I heard this, I couldn’t hold back and replied to him directly,’you think I’m showing off my wealth when you see me wearing a watch that’s worth a few hundred thousand. You haven’t even seen the Steinway piano in front of me!’ When she said this, the people around her laughed, especially Chapman. Tao cen continued, ”

“From then on, I became even more cautious when making friends!”

She blinked, and Chapman’s gaze became even gentler.

When Jiang se saw this, she did not intend to suddenly interrupt.

Tao cen had the situation under control. Even if she went over, she would only be a spectator. She could only find time to contact Chapman in the future.
