A movie has not only fulfilled Jiang Se, but also fulfilled Lin Xiwen, although it was unfortunate to meet Zhang Jing'an's "Rescue Operation" at the China International Film Festival that year, resulting in "Peking Event" failing to win the Best Director Award, but it also made Lin Xiwen's reputation, and Shangjia Company has been developing well with this wind.

The most important thing is that Hou Xiling had a good vision back then, and he recognized Jiang Se when he was still a newcomer, and under the influence of Hou Xiling, he gave up his original plan to find Ye Yingfei to play 'Cardamom', and instead appointed Jiang Se, who was still a newcomer, to play a supporting role.

At that time, Jiang Se's reputation was not good, she was still a newcomer, and her salary was not high, so she was signed for a play for 160,000 yuan, which was really lucky.

The waiter in the store sent Jiang Se the afternoon tea and some desserts, after Jiang Se thanked him, the boy left step by step, Lin Xiwen looked at the pile of refreshments in front of her, and smiled.

Jiang Se recently became purple with "Demon", and endorsed Federer, and the limelight even overwhelmed Tao Cen of Century Galaxy.

The reason why he asked Jiang Se to come out to meet today, the two of them knew it in their hearts.

Her agent is Xia Chaoqun, who should remind her of her recent situation, the "Erlang God" he invested in filming has a bad reputation, and he is currently preparing for the next drama.

But as soon as Jiang Se came, he mentioned that it was a private meeting with a friend, not to talk about business, Lin Xiwen speculated about her plan in her heart, and I don't know if she was refusing this euphemistically.

He sighed inwardly, but decided to try again.

"Director Zhang's "A Glimmer of Life" has been completed, is there any work plan for the next step?"

Jiang Se nodded, in fact, she auditioned for Cesare's "The Prisoner" when she was in France earlier, but she never received a response, and she didn't know what Cesare's final decision was.

If she still hasn't heard from her by June, she's going to take on another script.

"The company has mentioned a few scripts, but I haven't read them yet, and I'm currently preparing for the graduate school entrance examination, so I'm not in a hurry. ”

After she said this, Lin Xiwen pondered for a long time and asked:

"What if I'm cheeky and want to get you a favor?"

As he spoke, he picked up the briefcase beside him, took out a stack of materials from it, put it on the table and pushed it in the direction of Jiang Se:

"This is the next scene I'm going to film, and the script, outline, and character outline are all in it, Cersei," he smiled bitterly, with a hint of pleading in his tone:

"I know that as soon as you came over today, you already mentioned that it was a private meeting of friends, and you didn't talk about business, and I didn't dare to rely on the past to have a relationship, so I wanted to ask you to directly follow this drama. It's just that if you haven't decided which play you want to take, can you take a look at my play and give me another answer?"

Lin Xiwen stared at her:

"At that time, even if you feel that it is not suitable to refuse, I will eventually accept your favor, and where you need my help in the future, I will not be ambiguous. ”

His request did not make Jiang Se feel embarrassed, Xia Chaoqun had already reminded her early in the morning, Jiang Se actually expected such a situation when he came over, she nodded, picked up the information and put it beside her.

Such an attitude made Lin Xiwen a little surprised, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly:

"I thought you'd shirk it. ”

"Shirked, will you wait for Director Lin to beg for it?"

Jiang Se couldn't help laughing, her joking attitude eliminated the serious atmosphere created by Lin Xiwen before, Lin Xiwen also breathed a sigh of relief, and followed her words to chat:

"Under normal circumstances, it wasn't me who begged you so hard that you accepted it, would it make me know more about gratitude?"

"It's not necessary. She picked up the boiled water on the side and took a sip gently:

"You are Director Lin, and you are not a staff member who needs to pull sponsorship, so there is no need to bend down to me. A good script, I don't need you to ask for it, I will beg you for it. ”

At this point, she continued:

"What's more, when I came, I actually guessed it. ”

"Erlang God" failed at the box office and word of mouth, even if Lin Xiwen can make back the capital of this movie, if he wants to make a small fight in the next movie, he may not worry about investors playing with him.

But if he wants to make another good movie and wants to raise a lot of money, it will be very difficult.

has the name of a bad movie on his head, and the actors he works with will weigh it more or less.

So if he dares to find himself, he should also have some confidence in the script in his hand, in other words:

"Actually, I believe that if you hadn't had faith in the script in your hand, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come to me. ”

She said this directly, Lin Xiwen was stunned for a long time, and then smiled bitterly twice:

"What you said at the beginning scared me. ”

"I'm not saying this to refuse, I'm just informing my attitude first. "She will not be carried away by friendship just because she is a friend, and unconditionally take on Lin Xiwen's movie, regardless of the quality of the script.

The reason why we met was also because I knew that Lin Xiwen was under the name of "Erlang God", and if he contacted him through Century Galaxy, there was a chance that he would be called back by the company when the script was just handed over.

Jiang Se is a popular first-line actress in Century Galaxy now, and the company cherishes her feathers quite much, and she will be much stricter in the control of the script, so she came out to see Lin Xiwen in private, which can be regarded as giving him a chance.

"Back then, I was very grateful that when I was not famous, you gave me a special opportunity to audition for "Peking Event" because of Director Gu's recommendation. ”

Although he was able to successfully star in "Peking Event" in the end, in fact, it was Jiang Se's own temperament, image, and understanding of the role, as well as Hou Xiling's special preference and other reasons.

But if it weren't for the audition opportunity that Lin Xiwen gave her back then, she might have never had a chance with 'Cardamom' for the rest of her life.

In the later stage, because after recognizing and falling in love with Pei Yi, there may be more opportunities waiting for her, but the role of 'Cardamom' is also unique to Jiang Se.

"I have always liked Mr. Hou Xiling's writings, it is not easy for him to be put on the screen, to be able to play a role in his works, and thank you for giving me a chance at the beginning, so today's meeting is also what I can repay to you. ”

Jiang Se was straightforward, neither flaunting his special features to Lin Xiwen, making him remember his kindness, nor his tone of kindness, and his attitude was frank and open.

Lin Xiwen's eyes showed a complicated look, and he didn't know if he should say that Jiang Se was too stupid.

"In fact, you can audition for "Peking Event", also because of your own temperament, which is quite in line with Hou Lao's scholarly background in the first half of the 'cardamom' life in the play. ”

"The same cannot be said. Jiang Se sighed and remembered Dai Jia:

"There are many people who are suitable for this line of food, but there are few opportunities. She pushed the pastry in front of her in the direction of Lin Xiwen:

"The previous waiter said that the dessert afternoon tea here is very good, and I have to go back to review in the afternoon, so I will miss the company first. ”

She didn't move the desserts and coffee in front of Jiang Se, in terms of diet, she maintained a very harsh habit, came out for a long time, at most she smelled it, and when she drank water, she didn't even touch the fruit on the cake.

When she stood up, Lin Xiwen noticed that her waist was so thin that she could hold it, and if she wanted to maintain a perfect figure like her, she not only needed to rely on exercise, but also needed strong perseverance and perseverance.

"After reading the script, I will carefully consider sending you a message again. ”

If it was before meeting her today, Lin Xiwen would have thought that the other party had refused euphemistically, but when Jiang Se said this at this time, he believed it.

He nodded, watching Jiang Se leave with the information, and the beckoning cat placed at the door of the café was shaking her head and waving because of her actions when she went out.

Her figure was bathed in sunlight, and her light steps gradually left his sight.

Lin Xiwen recalled that when she came to the company to audition for "Peking Event" a few years ago, in addition to her still a somewhat green face at that time, she actually had the illusion that Jiang Se had not changed.

Before going home, Jiang Se first called Xia Chaoqun, mentioning that he had met Lin Xiwen and accepted his script.

Her personality is also very clear about Xia Chaoqun, so she just responded lightly.

On the phone, Jiang Se explained:

"I'll read the script first, if the script doesn't work, I will refuse, if it's not bad, I'll hand it over to Sister Chaoqun to talk to someone from Shangjia Company. ”

Her attitude was also very correct, Xia Chaoqun said 'um', and asked again:

Angel has already called me, saying that the fitness coach is almost at your house, and when you go out, you need to wear sunscreen, and you have to hold an umbrella where there is sun. ”

She had two hours of fitness classes every day, and Jiang Se looked at the time and promised:

"Half an hour at most. ”

"I have already found someone to help you prepare all the materials you need for the graduate school entrance examination, and I will send you home later, just like that, I still have something to do. ”

Xia Chaoqun hung up the phone, Jiang Se looked at the phone and couldn't help laughing, her personality is actually very similar to Xia Chaoqun in a certain aspect, so this is the reason why the two have been very compatible since they cooperated.

After taking a shower at night, I called Pei Yi, and before going to sleep, Jiang Se turned out the movie information handed over to him by Lin Xiwen, and was about to turn off the phone to read the script well, when the character of selecting 'shutdown' just popped up on the screen, and before her finger clicked, the piano music came out of the mobile phone, she canceled the shutdown button, and Cesare's name was flashing on the screen.

"Hi Jiang, did you bother you?"

At this time, the time in China was ten o'clock in the evening, and when Jiang Se heard Cesare's voice sound, he couldn't help but rejoice in the depths of his heart:

"In fact, if you call a little later, I'll probably turn it off. ”

"Hahaha, I'm so lucky. Cesare burst out laughing, and Gance shook his head:

"No, luckily for me, in fact I've been waiting for this call from you, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

"Clever girl!" Cesare laughed again when he heard her say this, and his voice on the phone was unabashedly pleasant, and the laughter had already conveyed good news to Jiang Se in advance:

"The role of Shireen in "The Prisoner" you auditioned for before, the investor watched it and felt very satisfied. He paused for a moment, "Now, my dear, come and tell me that you still love 'Shireen' and want her, and if you still want her, this role belongs to you!"

Although Cesare had already guessed this when he called, when he really said the news that he was sure to play the role of 'Shireen' in "The Prisoner", Jiang Se still couldn't hold back the joy in his heart:

"I've been waiting too long for this good news!"

For a long time, Xia Chaoqun thought that this role might have no chance with Jiang Se, and Cesare's call finally came.

"Jiang, there is a saying in Huaxia to describe wine, the older it is, the more fragrant it is. Cesare joked with her:

"The longer I waited for this call, the more I was pleasantly surprised. ”

After Cesare said this, he explained: "The reason why it took two months, you know, I need a little time to convince the investors. ”

No matter how famous Jiang Se is, but he is a Chinese face, and a Chinese face like Tao Cen appears in a commercial film like "Rosemary City", which is obviously going for the box office, plus there are not many scenes, and the role is dispensable, so it was easy to pass at that time.

But in "The Prisoner", although Shireen does not have many scenes, her existence is very important.

Although Cesare took over the filming of the "Lost City" trilogy in exchange for a large investment in the filming of "The Prisoner", he also had absolute rights in the filming of "The Prisoner", but the actors were not Westerners, which still caused a headache for investors, and they were afraid that European and American audiences would not accept it.

This is not only due to the fact that Jiang Se's fame is not enough to make up for it, even if Jiang Se performed very well in the audition that day, and even Cesare thought that there could be no one more suitable for 'Shireen' than her, the investors have been biting the bullet and not letting go.

For this reason, Cesare spent a "little bit" of time and means to convince, "But after the news is confirmed, I will inform you first, and I will contact your agent later, you arrange the time as soon as possible, go to Rome, prepare to sign a series of things, and look forward to cooperating with you." ”

"Thank you, Cesare, and I look forward to working with you. ”

He went through the process of convincing the investor, but Jiang Se also guessed that it should not be easy, and as soon as her voice fell, Cesare laughed:

"The best way to thank me is to bring Shireen into the world, to make the whole world crazy for her, to feel her charm, to resurrect Matthe's little character, that's what I want. ”

In this case, there is no need for Cesare, Jance mentioned the content of "The Prisoner", this time Cesare did not avoid talking about it anymore, and after confirming that Gance was already joining the crew, he was also willing to reveal more:

"In fact, I have been adapting the script of this drama since ten years ago, and it is about the same at present, but it will take some time to prepare in the early stage, by the way, after putting her on the screen, I am going to change her name to "God's Redemption", Jiang, what do you think?"

"God's Redemption?"

Jiang Se muttered, and Cesare replied:

"Yes. "The Prisoner" is not bad, but let me pay tribute to Matthe with "God's Redemption". ”

The script is indeed full of 'redemption', but it is not yet known whether this 'redemption' is a blessing or a curse, which can be regarded as an alternative irony of Cesare, which can be more ironically pointed out the core meaning of the work "The Prisoner" than the name "The Prisoner".

"I'm sure Matthe will love the name, and you fully understand his intentions. ”

"Hahahahaha......" Cesare was obviously in a good mood when he heard her say this, and he had already laughed many times in the short time he had been talking: "I knew it, you would understand." ”
