Chapter 329: Eight Immortals

Feng Nan's first reaction was the same as Tao Cen's agent Chen Jiao: this matter must not be allowed to leak out, so that Jiang Se and Cesare will be on the line, so that her reputation in China will rise again and again, and she should be suppressed. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In terms of dining etiquette, Cesare maintained impeccable good habits, he was not very proficient in the handling of Chinese chopsticks, and occasionally needed to use knives and forks:

"Matthew's novel didn't sell well in the eyes of many, and to this day, it hasn't been reprinted very often. ”

He forked a piece of meat, "I wanted to put it on the screen so that more people could see it, but now the plan has been put on hold again and again." ”

"It's not because she's not good enough, it's just because you like it too much, so it's more deliberate. Giance answered Cesare's question, which made him laugh:

"That's just one of the reasons. ”

With a gleam of pleasure in his eyes, he put down his knife and fork and raised a hand:

"But I like what you're saying, and it makes me feel comfortable. ”

"In fact, the real reason, in addition to being because she deserves my prudence, is the most important reason for investment. ”

Cesare sighed, the smile on his face far gone.

Jiang Se furrowed his brows, Cesare was still young, in his thirties and less than forty years old, but he was already a young director who had received great recognition in the film industry, he was very well-known internationally, as long as he put forward ideas, there should be many people who were willing to invest.

She had memorized Cesare's information and was familiar with some of his accomplishments, and many well-known Hollywood movie stars should be happy to work with him.

But at this time, Cesare was saying that he did not shoot his favorite "Prisoner" because of investment.

Jiang Se reacted very keenly, it should not be just ordinary investments, but Cesare has certain requirements for these investments.

As for this requirement, Jiang Se speculated that Cesare's attention and liking for the novel "The Prisoner" should have hoped to obtain greater permission for filming as a basis.

Jiang Se has not yet been exposed to the foreign film industry, but he probably has some understanding, and the role of the director on the set is to give the story the depth of art.

However, with the intervention of investors and producers, if the director is not strong enough, it is very likely that the final direction of the story will deviate from the director's imagination and focus on the preferences and tastes of the market audience.

Today, the Hollywood film industry has matured, and a large number of investors can invest in many films at the same time, and the loss of one movie can be recovered in other films.

Since Cesare likes "The Prisoner", he naturally does not want it to be reduced to a commercial film, and when the original book does not have a large number of fans as a foundation, if he wants to follow the original book and make the original "The Prisoner", how can the producer invest in it?

This is probably the real reason why "The Prisoner" has not been filmed so far.

As Cesare said, it's not because the film isn't good enough, it's not because he's not famous enough, it's not just because he likes it very much, it's just because his ideas are likely to conflict with the market.

It's a difficult task to make a movie that the audience likes and that he is satisfied with.

"It's not an easy task. ”

Jiang Se wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, Cesare was young and wealthy, but it was obviously unrealistic to invest in a movie alone.

Especially for a book with a magical color like "The Prisoner", the hiring of actors, the post-production team and special effects production, all kinds of money are all kinds of money, Jiang Se thought about it for a while and made a suggestion:

"But if you have high expectations for the film, you can invest in it yourself, shoot a section and then take out a loan from the bank. ”

Cesare laughed again, and he took the glass beside him, raised it to Gercer, and made a gesture of clinking glasses:

"Your suggestion is good, and I have considered it. ”

Before he mentioned this, Jiang Se had already guessed the meaning of his unfinished words, which obviously put Cesare in a good mood, and he took a sip of the wine in his glass:

"But in the end I was able to convince Bergier and the roundabouts. ”

He shook the glass with his hand, the transparent liquid rippled in the crystal glass, and the air was filled with a faint aroma of wine:

"The folks at Bogier were interested in investing in an adventure series three years ago, and they approached me. He leaned back in his chair, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked: "I promised to shoot this series of films, and they invested in my "Prisoner". ”

It was a quid pro quo that he would make a commercial film in exchange for the company to invest in his "The Prisoner," which must have been negotiated after some negotiations, which Cesare does not describe in detail here.

Speaking of this, Cesaret paused, put the cup down, looked at Jiang Se, and finally said his biggest purpose for this trip to China:

"Jiang, I remember, you are a student of the history department?"

"Yes. ”

Jiang Se had already counted it in her heart when she heard him mention the name of the 'Bogil, Roundabout' company, and she remembered Xia Chaoqun's reminder and had already guessed Cesare's intention to ask this.

At this time, Jiang Se's heartbeat increased slightly, and her blood was boiling, and she guessed that the opportunity that Xia Chaoqun said was coming.

But she was still very calm on the surface, and she didn't show any gaffes.

"In this adventure series, I read the script, and one of the characters is very suitable for your image, are you interested in learning about it?"

Cesare laughed and held out his hand to Jancer.

He seemed to be very confident that Jiang Se would not refuse, and Jiang Se really had no reason to refuse, she didn't even ask Cesare what kind of role he had prepared for her, she had already stretched out her hand:

"Absolutely!"

The two shook hands.

After confirming Gancer's attitude, Cesare immediately stopped talking about other unrelated topics:

""The Lost City" is mainly about adventure, and one of the characters happens to be set as a woman who graduated from the history department. ”

With his elbows propped up on the table, his hands clenched into fists, he described the female characters needed in "The Lost City" in a few words.

According to the meaning of his words, Jiang Se probably guessed what he wanted to feel, the character was born in the history department, and should be quite rich in historical knowledge, and because it is an adventure movie, it is not excluded that there will be a lot of action scenes.

Judging from the title, Jiang Se even guessed that this movie character should also have a certain understanding of archaeology, and at the same time, Cesare mentioned "Peking Event", and explained that the cardamom performed by Jiang Se in the play is very Chinese, which proves that the role he needs, in addition to having a certain knowledge of history and archaeology, also has the unique style of oriental women, and in terms of dress, it is mainly based on traditional Chinese characteristics.

A general image came to her mind.
