Since cooperating in "Peking Event", Jiang Se and Lin Xiwen have rarely contacted each other again, but during the New Year's holidays, she will send messages and blessings, and rarely meet in private

Everyone is very busy, Lin Xiwen is running a company and making movies on the other, not to mention Jiang Se, who has to take care of both studies and work, so he is naturally slowly estranged.

As soon as the publicity period of "Peking Event" passed, when he occasionally met Lin Xiwen at the workplace of the event, he would say hello at most, Jiang Se didn't expect that Lin Xiwen would call him at this time.

Although she had doubts in her heart, she still took the phone in Mo Anqi's hand:

"Director Lin, I'm Jiang Se. ”

"Cersei, I haven't congratulated you on the big hit of "Demon" and the box office record. Lin Xiwen heard Jiang Se call out his identity as soon as he answered the phone, and his tone was gentle, he didn't hold the shelf, and there was a smile in his voice:

"She was also shortlisted for the 'Best Actress' at the French Film Festival, which is very remarkable. ”

"Thank you, Director Lin, for complimenting me. Jiang Se laughed, and then asked:

"You called me, is there anything wrong?"

Lin Xiwen had worked with her for a while, knew her character, and didn't pay attention to her outspoken way, but breathed a sigh of relief:

"There is indeed something I want to discuss with you, do you have time lately?" he said, in fact, he was also worried about whether Jiang Se would agree to meet with him.

After all, this time is different from the past, Jiang Se's identity and status are different from when he filmed "Peking Event", after "Demon", with the role of "Zhang Yuqin", Jiang Se has already gained a firm foothold, and has cooperated with Liu Ye, endorsed Federer's watch, and has squeezed into the ranks of Chinese first-line actresses, and the itinerary should be very full.

I want to make an appointment with her temporarily, but she may not agree.

Jiang Se picked up his itinerary and glanced at it, "There should be." ”

When Lin Xiwen heard this, his heart that had originally mentioned his throat was put back, and he said happily:

"Then we'll meet tomorrow afternoon. ”

It was agreed that at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, after meeting at a café near Century Galaxy, Jiang Se hung up the phone.

Mo Anqi was a little surprised:

"Why did Lin Xiwen suddenly call you to meet you?"

Xia Chaoqun packed up the information on the desktop and thought about it:

"I guess I want to ask you to make a movie. She looked at Jiang Se, "Lin Xiwen's new movie was released a few days ago, I think you should still have some impressions of this movie." ”

Xia Chaoqun bent the corners of his mouth:

"Erlang God's Pacification of the Chaos in the World". When she spoke, Mo Anqi was already laughing, and several staff members couldn't help laughing:

It is said that this movie, in addition to film critics, even the audience scolded, Feng Buyan even posted directly on his social networking site, saying that Lin Xiwen, who could shoot "Peking Event", has already died, and will make a farce of "Erlang God". ”

Jiang Se has been very busy recently, and she hasn't paid much attention to the newly released movies, but she has an impression of this "Erlang God: Pacifying the Chaos in the World".

At that time, when Gu Jiaer introduced her to Lin Xiwen's Shangjia company, one of the choices Lin Xiwen once gave her happened to be this movie.

But later, Jiang Se didn't take a fancy to this movie that Lin Xiwen said could give her the heroine position and the pay was good for newcomers, but took a fancy to Hou Xiling's "Peking Event" as a screenwriter, and gradually became popular with "Peking Event", and later won the first trophy in his life with the role of "Cardamom" at the Chinese Film Festival. 1.

She didn't expect that "Erlang God's Pacification of the Human Rebellion", which she gave up at that time, would drag on for a few years before it was released this year.

"This movie not only has a bad reputation, but also the box office is not conspicuous, Lin Xiwen obviously suffered a Waterloo, and the usual publicity methods did not show the advantages they should have. ”

Lin Xiwen's choice of time was not good, and the release time of "Erlang God: Pacifying the Chaos in the World" was also delayed again and again, it was originally expected to be released in March this year, but there were two good movies in March this year.

"Accidents" directed by Ning Zhanping and starring Tao Cen, and "Demons" starring Jiang Se and Liu Ye, the two films not only attracted attention from the lineup, but also participated in the French Film Festival, and "Demon" won two awards in a row, causing a great sensation in China.

Lin Xiwen also knew what the content of his movie was at that time, and the way he was used to couldn't work at this time, he couldn't make waves, and it was even very likely that he would be sandwiched between the two movies, and the box office would be crushed, so the release time of the movie was rescheduled.

Who knows that the afterglow of "Demon" arrived in April, because of the publicity of Jiang Se's later return to China, the aftermath was undiminished, and the relationship between Jiang Se's endorsement of Federer's watch dominated the headlines of the entertainment industry, so in desperation, Lin Xiwen rescheduled "Erlang God: Pacifying the Chaos in the World" to May, but the result was still miserable.

"When this movie was released, it happened to be the time when "Demon" was released. ""Demon" has extended the number of days of release because of its outstanding box office performance, "but even on the last day before the release, the box office statistics are not comparable to "Erlang God's Pacification of the Human Rebellion". ”

In addition, the more Lin Xiwen's movie is promoted, the signboard is 'Lin Xiwen's masterpiece after "Peking Event", so many viewers went to the quality slogan of "Peking Event", and after watching it, they were naturally annoyed, and the deceived and angry masses scolded this movie on the Internet.

As soon as Xia Chaoqun finished speaking, Mo Anqi continued:

"On the movie database, the score of this movie is only 21 points, and there are a lot of people who scold. When she said this, she chose a comment to show Jiang Se, and a netizen with an ID named 'Big-headed Fish' left an indignant message saying:

"The film is outrageously rotten, and Lin Xiwen's goodwill accumulated by "Peking Event" is about to be ruined by himself. The so-called "Erlang God's Pacification of the Human Rebellion", the gongs and drums in the audience were so noisy that people's brains hurt, and the male lead actor was wearing thick-soled boots no more than one meter six, and the filial piety dog stood up taller than him......"

A glass of sour milk: Not only is the male lead short, but the plot is also inexplicable, Chang'e and the Seven Fairies all ran away after Erlang God, and there are several extremely restrictive pictures in it, if the movie has a rating, A stands for ethics, B stands for violence, C stands for bad movies, D stands for eroticism, and E stands for magic...... I think this movie can stand at the peak of ABCDEFG......

Say I love you gently: Director La_ garbage, I filmed Erlang God as a deformed alien alive.

……

When Jiang Se saw these comments, he couldn't help laughing, all of them were scolding, all shouting 'Lin Xiwen don't make movies, retire quickly', many people even left messages in anger: I don't believe in Lin Xiwen's drama anymore, it's too bad, and I won't watch new movies anymore.

Xia Chaoqun saw Mo Anqi and others smiling with comments, and couldn't help but say:

"Lin Xiwen shouldn't care about this movie. "No matter how netizens scold this movie, it shouldn't lose money.

It was originally a low-cost production, and almost all of the actors invited were newcomers signed by Shangjia Company, and the cost was very low.

However, the consequence of this is to damage his reputation, and the next movie may not have the audience willing to buy it.

"It's okay if it's generally ugly, but the movie "Erlang God" has affected the stock of Shangjia Company, which has been invested, has fallen, and it is difficult for Lin Xiwen to sit still. Xia Chaoqun analyzed, "In order to let the audience obediently walk into the theater again for his movie and pay for it after he has been in him once, he has to think of a better way." ”

When Xia Chaoqun said this, Jiang Se understood what she meant.

At this time, Jiang Se is famous, has a high status, and her acting skills are guaranteed, Lin Xiwen came to her to put out the fire.

With this "Erlang God's Pacification of the Human Rebellion" in front, no matter what the theme of his next movie is, it is inevitable that he will be criticized by the audience, and there may not be an audience to buy his account.

In general, the star starring actor who does not have enough status is likely to be affected by Lin Xiwen's fame, resulting in a decline in reputation.

But if it is a star with high box office appeal like Jiang Se to star, it will be different.

Since Jiang Se's debut, every movie he has participated in is of high quality, and the reputation and box office are also good.

Even the performance of several movies that ran the trick at that time was remarkable, and "About I Love You", which starred in the first big beam, also achieved very good results, after "Demon", in the hearts of most audiences in China, Jiang Se may be a well-deserved box office queen, and even the box office of a single film has surpassed Tao Cen.

Lin Xiwen's lost reputation, Jiang Se can pick it up for him, but the risk is not small, because if the quality of the film is too poor, it is very likely that Jiang Se will be affected by the time.

How high the audience's expectations are for her at present, and the better the box office of the movie will be, the more harsh it may be for her in the later stage.

'He's not been very consistent, so you can see when you meet him tomorrow. ”

Xia Chaoqun said this, looked at the time, "I have a meeting in the company later, and I will pick a few scripts for you that the company takes, and you can choose by yourself." ”

She was together, and the assistant Zhang Chi and the others packed their things and prepared to go back.

Jiang Se searched Lin Xiwen's new movie by himself in the evening, and he also had several works after "Peking Event", but none of them could catch up with the reputation of "Peking Event", and the box office was much worse.

Many people even said: I'd rather rewatch "Peking Event" ten times than watch Lin Xiwen's new film once.

Especially "Erlang God", which is the worst reputation in Lin Xiwen's directorial career, and the box office is not as good as once, no wonder he called himself for help.

At the meeting with Lin Xiwen, Jiang Se refused Mo Anqi's request to follow her.

In the café next to the Century Galaxy in Sheung Wan, the imperial capital, when Jiang Se came over, the waiter in the café who opened the door for her pulled the door open and said with a sweet smile on his face:

"Welcome to the light ......" Before the last word 'Lin' could be spoken, the girl with a baby face raised her head and saw that the person who came in was Jiang Se, so she screamed: "Ah...... Jiang Se ......"

In the afternoon, there are not too many people in the café, there is soothing soft music inside, and the relaxed guests are blowing the air conditioner, drinking coffee, smelling the sweet smell of pastries, and when it is leisurely, the screams of the waiters wake many people up.

When the people in the café heard her shout, they all looked up.

Jiang Se was wearing a black one-neck knitted top, a hip-wrapping skirt, and black stiletto heels tied on his feet.

The girl's scream attracted everyone's attention to Jiang Se, and in the distance, Lin Xiwen stood up and waved his hand, Jiang Se said with a smile:

"I have friends in it. ”

"Cersei, I like you so much, you're so tall, so thin, your legs are longer than you look on TV. The girl opened her sparkling eyes and said like a cannon:

"The voice is also good, the skin is good, why is it so beautiful? I came here to work because I knew that you were from Century Galaxy, I just wanted to meet you, and I saw you for the first time after working for half a year. Her cheeks were flushed with excitement, and the manager in the café was also alarmed by her voice, and came out to pull people away with an embarrassed face, and kept bowing her head to Jiang Se apologetically.

Jiang Se smiled bitterly, watching this girl be arrested reluctantly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to Lin Xiwen, it seemed that he had been here for a while, and most of the magazine in his hand was turned over, and when he saw Jiang Se coming, he closed it and put it back on the shelf.

"I've been waiting. Jiang Se sat down, and Lin Xiwen shook his head:

"It's me who came too early. ”

The two met at about three o'clock, Jiang Se had arrived fifteen minutes earlier than the agreed time, this is her character, before she became an adult, she maintained the habit of arriving early, and after becoming famous, she still maintained such a good quality of punctuality, which undoubtedly made Lin Xiwen like it more.

He made a gesture and called the waiter to ask Jiang Se to order, this time it was a young boy, although he didn't shout like the girl at the beginning, but when he came to Jiang Se's side, his face was still red, his hands were still shaking, and he secretly looked up at Jiang Se from time to time, and his face was even redder every time he looked at it.

After Jiang Se finished ordering things, he was still a little reluctant, and it wasn't until Lin Xiwen looked at him several times that he walked away with a disappointed face.

"Why didn't your assistant come?"

Lin Xiwen saw the previous farce in his eyes, and he also knew how popular Jiang Se was now, he casually found a sentence to start, and Jiang Se glanced at him meaningfully:

"It's not official to meet with friends, so there's no need to bring an assistant with you. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, Lin Xiwen couldn't help but laugh bitterly:

"You're still such a character, sometimes it's very popular, sometimes it's tickling. ”

There was a briefcase next to the place where he was sitting, but Lin Xiwen didn't mean to open it at the first time, but talked to Jiang Se about family life:

"In my life, the best decision I have ever made is not to set up Shangjia Company, nor to make a lot of money, but to spend several years to find Mr. Hou Xiling and write the script of "Peking Event". ”
