Chapter 528: Dissatisfied
Tao Cen's gaze quickly firmed, and the belief of not admitting defeat suppressed the frustration she felt for a while, she tilted her head and laughed:
"How long do you rest?"
Song Yi didn't dare to speak, Tao Cen clenched his fists and put them on the side of his legs, Jiang Se got the opportunity to star in "God's Redemption" was actually a big blow to Tao Cen, but at this time, the company may be waiting to see her jokes, the audience and netizens will wait for her to make a statement, and in the next time, she will see many people showing cautious expressions like Song Yi in front of her.
This look is the greatest irony for Tao Cen.
She tried her best to adjust her facial expression, so as not to let Song Yi see the depression in her heart, and asked:
"I remember that when the cast of "God's Redemption" was officially announced, Jiang Se should not have been the starring role. ”
At that time, Donald was partnered with Laura Brown, who was known as Hollywood's sweetheart, and Jiang Se was able to squeeze out the female lead in such a big-budget movie abroad when the movie had already been filmed, which also made Tao Cen vigilant.
"The specific situation is not very clear, Sister Xia returned to China a week ago, secretly met with the chairman, and the news from the company said that it had a lot to do with Cesare's strength. ”
Cesare owns the copyright of "The Prisoner" and has a great say in "God's Crew", not a director who simply receives remuneration for filming, but a big director who can directly participate in the later box office sharing, Jiang Se has his strength, "It is said that Donald is also on Jiang Se's side, and there are people from Huaying's side to operate." Coupled with the relationship between Century Galaxy and the sum of all aspects of the situation, Jiang Se got the role of the heroine of "God's Redemption".
But in any case, Song Yi had to admit that Jiang Se was very lucky.
Being able to work with a director like Cesare is already an opportunity that many people can't ask for, not only in the first European and American blockbuster, she worked with a big director like Cesare, but also very lucky to be the heroine and play with Donald.
No matter what the final box office of this movie is, Jiang Se's status has been repeatedly improved, not only in the international arena she will open up the situation and fame with these points, and get more opportunities, even in China, she is enough to be on an equal footing with Tao Cen and no longer be suppressed by Tao Cen's limelight.
Song Yi was a little helpless, and when Tao Cen heard that Jiang Se's position as the leading actress in "God's Redemption" was guaranteed by Cesareli, his heart felt as if he had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, and all kinds of flavors came to his heart.
She had also curry favor with Cesare and wanted more opportunities, but this person was not easy to get close to, but she maintained a fairly good friendship with Jiang Se.
Tao Cen was silent for a while, quietly swallowed this breath, thought about it and asked again:
"In the company, have you ever inquired about what new plans Jiang Se has after filming "God's Redemption"?"
At the French Film Festival, when Tao Cen and Jiang Se were nominated for the 'Best Actress' award at the same time, Tao Cen already had a premonition that sooner or later there would be such a dispute between himself and Jiang Se over status and reputation.
Century Galaxy always has to have a leader among actresses, and the company's resources cannot be evenly distributed to two people at the same time, there will always be an order of high and low.
After Tao Cen asked this, Song Yi was obviously prepared, guessed her plan, and licked her lips:
"I also inquired before, Sister Xia has a tight grasp of Jiang Se's endorsements and movies, and she doesn't mean to pile a lot of work on her. ”
Compared with many actresses in Century Galaxy, Jiang Se's workload is lackluster, and she does not make dramas, and when she takes over the next drama, she will never take over the second movie at the same time.
Instead, they will wait until a movie is finished before they will consider other work issues.
"Jiang Se's new plan is not clear for the time being, and the company is already preparing resources for her to choose. ”
Song Yi paused for a while and glanced at Tao Cen: "However, before taking over Zhang Jing'an's "A Line of Life", when Song Yi talked about Zhang Jing'an's "A Line of Life", the corners of Tao Cen's mouth twitched, and he continued:
There is news in the company that Sister Xia had picked some scripts for Jiang Se at that time, and she had seen them and circled Huo Zhiming's new drama. ”
Tao Cen's calm expression showed a little interest, and Song Yi said knowingly:
"Sister Tao, I guess that if it weren't for Zhang Jing'an's invitation later, maybe Jiang Se would have taken over this movie. He seemed to remember one thing again:
At the same time, before taking over the filming of "God's Redemption", Lin Xiwen of Shangjia Company also contacted Jiang Se and wanted to invite her to make the next movie. ”
It's a pity that Jiang Se later signed into the crew of "God's Redemption", and Lin Xiwen's invitation finally failed.
Tao Cen waved his hand:
"Lin Xiwen?" she reached out and tapped the table lightly with the tip of her index finger:
"Don't worry about him, in his works, I'm afraid that "Peking Event" is the pinnacle of his career. At that time, Jiang Se made a name for himself with this film, and also won the 'Best Supporting Actress' trophy at the Chinese Film Festival that year, so he got to know Cesare.
may be in Jiang Se's heart, Lin Xiwen's identity is a noble person who once supported her for her, after all, when she took over "Peking Event", she was not famous, she did not sign a brokerage company, and when she first filmed this film, it was said that the salary was pitiful.
Lin Xiwen's works are not stable, his last movie lost both box office and word of mouth, and the movies he made were scolded by netizens.
He asked Jiang Se to film, probably more in the name of an old friend, and wanted to ask Jiang Se to help save his reputation.
It's normal that Jiang Se didn't take it, even if she doesn't accept "God's Redemption", she won't necessarily take Lin Xiwen's play.
Tao Cen didn't care about Lin Xiwen, but he had a little snooping on Huo Zhiming's script that Jiang Se was once interested in:
"It's Huo Zhiming's new play......"
She also heard about Huo Zhiming preparing to shoot a new movie, but she didn't inquire in detail.
Huo Zhiming's state is also unstable, he is not young, he can't adapt to the market environment, the last few works can't grasp the audience's taste, and can't catch the hearts of investors, many producers are disgusted when they mention him, but this person is stubborn, his temper is unwilling to correct, and his position in this circle is very embarrassing.
Song Yi heard the string song and knew the meaning of elegance, as soon as Tao Cen spoke, Song Yi said:
"Director Huo's new drama has been a headache for investment. ”
He glanced at Tao Cen and handed Tao Cen a 'you know' look.
Because of Huo Zhiming's personality and temper, many investors are unwilling to invest in his films, some famous movie stars he may not be able to cooperate, and newcomers lack experience and acting skills. ”
Huo Zhiming's works in recent years have been unsatisfactory and have been scolded very much, but this old man still had some skills in his early years, and he also had a relationship with artists.
Luo Yin couldn't wipe his face and took the script, and Tao Cen was the 'first sister' of Century Galaxy at that time, Luo Yin was naturally reluctant to let Tao Cen take over this movie that was very likely to be unstable, so Tao Cen didn't even see the script.
When Xia Chaoqun was collecting scripts for Jiang Se, this script was mixed into the resources selected by Jiang Se and sent to Jiang Se.
Who knew that Jiang Se didn't take a fancy to the movie scripts carefully selected by Xia Chaoqun, but took a fancy to Huo Zhiming's "The Criminal Suspect", if it weren't for Zhang Jing'an accidentally finding Jiang Se later, I'm afraid Jiang Se would have already filmed "The Criminal Suspect", and the movies have already been edited in the later stage.
Tao Cen heard Song Yi's detailed analysis and glanced at him approvingly.
This agent personally selected by Luo Yin for her is far more reliable than the previous Chen Jiao, smart, responsible, knows what she wants to ask, inquires about things clearly in the morning, and never does superfluous things, although it doesn't seem to help her a lot at present, but it doesn't hold her back, and she feels very comfortable to use.
"Go back, you tell Luo Lao, this "Criminal Suspect", I want to see what is good about the script that Jiang Se likes. ”
Her words revealed her ambition for this movie, Song Yi was not surprised at all, and nodded:
"Actually, I guess you're going to ask about it, I've already contacted Luo Tezhu before, and I used some methods to get the script of this movie for the time being. ”
The script sent by Huo Zhiming was originally placed with Xia Chaoqun, but if Luo Ao wanted to get this script, he naturally had his way.
When he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw the satisfied look on Tao Cen's face, and instructed the assistant to bring this "Suspect" from his car, while explaining:
"The script was copied from Sister Xia, and it is said that before this, there was a little star surnamed Feng who took a fancy to this role and has been trying his best to fight for it. ”
However, because this star surnamed Feng is not outstanding, in addition to being born in a wealthy family, he has no acting skills at all, and he is not a big figure with Tao Cen, so naturally there is no possibility of competition.
What is worth paying attention to is Jiang Se.
Xia Chaoqun kept this script, and it was clearly prepared for Jiang Se, and this time Tao Cen wanted to get the drama "Criminal Suspect", which was equivalent to clearly wanting to compete with Jiang Se, and he might receive a conversation from Luo Yin.
When the script of "Criminal Suspect" was sent to Tao Cen, because it was copied from the original in Xia Chaoqun's hand, the name of the heroine circled in the character outline of the script by Xia Chaoqun was also copied there, Tao Cen took a look, this is the name of the heroine in the play, a righteous and compassionate policeman.
She is not surprised by this kind of thing, Jiang Se's current status, to star in Huo Zhiming's movie, except for the heroine, she will not be a candidate.
It's just that when I saw this circled name, it undoubtedly confirmed what Song Yi said before, Jiang Se did have a mind about this movie and the characters in the play.
It took two days for Tao Cen to read the script of "The Suspect" and read the character outline, and it is no wonder that Jiang Se will be interested in this movie, Huo Zhiming's script is already quite good.
Started from several different branches, a complete story is depicted around the main line, the image of the heroine 'Shen Xunran' in the play is very pleasing, she seems to have all the good side that the audience will like, kind, righteous and strong, both the gentleness of a woman like water, and the heart that firmly believes that justice will win.
Jiang Se is indeed very good at picking dramas, if she stars in this movie, as long as the actor's acting skills do not collapse, Huo Zhiming will continue to shoot according to the script, it is conceivable that after the movie is released, the box office should perform well.
But I'm sorry, Tao Cen touched the script, and gently stroked the three words 'Shen Xunran' in the circle, his eyes were firm, and now this role no longer belongs to Jiang Se, because she decided to act!
Tao Cen currently has other work plans, her work schedule has been scheduled to the end of the year, that is, to take over the filming of "The Criminal Suspect", to make time for filming, I am afraid it will take until next year to start filming, but she promised to take over this movie, Huo Zhiming will no longer have to worry about investment, I believe he should be willing to wait.
Her plan to take over the film did not surprise Song Yi, who reported her decision back to the company.
How the upper echelons of the company will make decisions, Song Yi doesn't know, whether Luo Yin will feel a headache, and Song Yi doesn't speculate, but no matter how fast Jiang Se's status rises, "God's Redemption" is still being filmed, Tao Cen is still nominally the leader of Century Galaxy, and Luo Yin will still give her this face.
Sure enough, two days later, Song Yi got the news from Luo Ao that the role of 'Shen Xunran' finally belonged to Tao Cen.
Huo Zhiming met Tao Cen once halfway, in terms of acting skills and fame, Tao Cen can play the role of 'Shen Xunran' in "The Criminal Suspect", and she has more advantages than Fan Zhiyun, who Huo Zhiming was originally optimistic about.
After signing the contract with Tao Cen, when Feng Nan received the news, she was still filming on the set.
The call was made by Huo Zhiming's assistant, Dai Jia answered the news for Feng Nan, and when the assistant said the word 'sorry' in a very apologetic tone, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Dai Jia's mouth.
More than two months ago, Dai Jia resigned from her job as a waiter and applied for Feng Nan's assistant.
Compared with another assistant who was trembling in the face of Feng Nan's scolding, she was tolerant and smart, and slowly began to take care of more of Feng Nan's chores.
The set was a mess at this time, the director who directed was a young man with little experience, this scene had been filmed for several days, and Feng Nan's impatience would always endure to no one's corner and vent again.
The director didn't shoot well, after a shot was repeated twice, several actors showed irritability on their faces, and the director shouted a pause in desperation, and when Feng Nan came over, Dai Jia had already unscrewed the lid of a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Feng Nan.
She was so considerate and obedient that she got an approving look from Feng Nan.
"Who are you calling first?"
After taking two sips of water, Feng Nancai pretended to ask casually.
The most important reason why she hired Dai Jia was not only because Dai Jia appeared when her assistant left and she wanted to hire people, but because Dai Jia had known Jiang Se.
Feng Nan still remembers what Dai Jia said when she came to apply, she said that she and Jiang Se are old acquaintances, in terms of acting skills and appearance, Dai Jia is not low, and she even has more advantages than Jiang Se halfway.
She was born in the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy, and her starting point was much higher than Jiang Se at that time, and Jiang Se's second "Fake Comes True" was only introduced by her.
But in the end, Jiang Se mixed better than her, because she lost her eyes when choosing a brokerage company, which led to her finally killing people by mistake and coming out of prison for a few years, and her star career was ruined, Jiang Se, who was not as good as her in the past, became a big star, and Dai Jia, a promising girl, could only become a waitress in a hotel in the end.
This is the reason why Feng Nan is willing to use Dai Jia, the enemy of her enemies is her friend.
