Chapter 110: The world is turned upside down
Since the beginning of the development of the media industry, this business of spiritual entertainment has many unique characteristics, and the film and television industry is certainly no exception. One of the most important and most important points is that film and television products have a strong demagogic effect on the will of the audience - this does not mean that every viewer will kill people after watching a crime movie, but the existence of imitation criminals is also an undeniable fact, after all, the advertising effect is an objective law that does not distinguish between good and evil.
Sponsorship, brand placement, are aimed at the audience this instinctive business means, and an excellent film and television work in this regard is far more effective than a heavily shot advertising film, "The Godfather" almost revitalized the cigar business, so that the concept of "powerful men smoke cigars" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but also let cigar dealers take the opportunity to raise prices, in the era of cigarettes to maintain their market share, should take the high-price route, in the near future, "Transformers" will also directly affect the ' Bumblebee's Chevrolet's sales, and the advertising effect of "The Devil Wears Prada" in this regard is also obvious enough, while winning the box office, it also single-handedly affected the luxury clothing market in the early spring of 2005: all the clothes that have been featured in detail in the film, worn by Andy for more than a minute, have significantly increased the number of inquiries, and some of the clothes that have been removed from the shelves and changed seasons have even been called high prices on Ebay - due to the time of the shooting, "Prada" Most of the clothes in the 2004 spring and summer are used, and this year a lot of stock was sent to the outlets for discounted sales, and from the feedback of the sales data, the same model of "Prada" was almost completely swept away within a week after the release of the movie, and the shoes and bags filmed in the film are cheaper, and some classic models are sold all year round, and customers go directly to the store to try on and buy - this is the real money directly fed back to the book.
Unlike FMCG brands that are willing to pay for sponsorship or even spend a lot of money to bid for implantation, luxury brands tend to have a small amount of money on movie sponsorship, which is determined by the market chassis of the two, after all, after watching the movie, the audience has a much higher chance of buying a Starbucks than buying a Chanel 2.55 odds, and even throwing a large amount of money may not be able to see an immediate return. So when Prada talks about sponsorship, most brands just agree to borrow clothes – borrow, not give.
Now, these brands are laughing and prada's advertising monetization power is so strong, regardless of country, that they are already looking forward to what will happen when the film is released in Asia, and many brands are enthusiastically asking about Prada's release plans in Japan and China, and even hinting that they can help with some matchmaking: after all, the film markets in both countries are notoriously conservative, and the purchasing power of luxury goods is frighteningly high. Japan has always been one of the largest consumers of luxury goods, and their young women are a kind of luxury worship, while China is also a rising consumer of luxury goods. If Fox delays the release of the movie for its own reasons, it will be a big loss for them.
"This is the sponsorship invitation I received last week." Judy placed a thin stack of paper in front of Jenny, "Besides, four or five brands have made you endorsements, and they're offering prices -- well, that's a lot of sincerity for luxury." But the most sincere is Valentino, who is willing to package this endorsement contract. ”
What is a little different from what most people think is that in fact, FMCG brands are the most generous in terms of endorsement fees, while luxury brands are relatively stingy (but often boasted high), mainly because FMCG brands are generally consuming the style of celebrities, while luxury brands can increase the style of celebrities. The reason why there is a difference between the status of singers and movie stars is that it is actually here, it is generally difficult for singers to get luxury endorsements, and the ideal endorsements in their hearts are Pepsi and delicious, which represents an affirmation of their popularity. And at least in North America, no movie star with a bit of an ideal would like to see their avatar appear on the packaging of FMCG. Zeta-Jones accepted the endorsement of Lux, and was ridiculed very much, which can be said to be a big loss of style.
In the past, movie stars would have taken money to go to Asia to make money -- usually in Japan, and they would pay a lot of money to sign commercials that were only broadcast in Japan, and millions of dollars would be credited in a few days of work, which was very attractive to many people. However, now that there is the Internet, advertisements in Japan may also spread to the English-speaking cultural circle, so most of the members of A-list are more cautious about advertising endorsements, in fact, Jenny has not thought much about receiving endorsements since her debut, she has a high starting point, and she has a Tony Award when she becomes popular, and the style itself is not low, and there is no need to strive to do a branch endorsement of luxury goods to increase her style.
The prudence at that time has become the good news now, after all, luxury is a very closed circle, it is impossible for a star to be grabbed by several brands, this year I will endorse Chanel's underwear and jeans line, and next year LV will pay more, and I will go to the LV family to do endorsements. If she signed Chanel in 03 and 04 to make perfume lines and underwear lines, then even if the contract expires next year, at most she will turn to make endorsements for jewelry and watches, or upgrade to brand endorsements with Chanel for the whole line, of course, she will lose the initiative in terms of bargaining, where you can shop around as much as now, although most luxury brands belong to a group and will not make crazy offers, but these brands are also independently managed, and in many software conditions, the person in charge will also show their powers, Propose the most seductive conditions.
Jenny picked up a few pieces of paper and flipped through them, and Judy put Valentino's invitation on top: Valentino is willing to sign a three-year brand endorsement contract with Jenny at a price of five million a year, and at the same time cooperate with Jenny in charity, in the form of Jenny's suggestion, as long as it is not too outrageous, Valentino will cooperate.
"That's a very high standard of treatment." Judy explained, and suddenly sighed, "Jenny dear, you really need a manager, it's actually not my responsibility to engage with these brands for you, it's a manager's business. ”
This is true, PR usually only contacts the media, gets some sponsored clothes, is responsible for managing her image every time she appears, etc., the commercial contract is not within the scope of their business, and the agency contract signed by Jenny and CAA is only limited to films, since CAA can't get a cut of this contract, of course, it is impossible to send someone to negotiate for her, if you need CAA's services, you should sign a supplementary contract, and then choose an expert in this area for her to give advice, Or if Jenny has her own manager, it is also common for the manager to negotiate. Now she has no advertising agent, no manager, and it is impossible and inconvenient to contact various companies in person, so the brands that can't find channels naturally hit Judy with their ideas, hoping that she will deliver the news.
"I've been thinking about this lately, too." Jeanne said that she certainly wouldn't tell Judy about her agreement with Cesare, and that she couldn't take Judy's half-jokes and push her to be her manager—Judy was good, but she had to wait for Cesare to formally reject her. "But you know, Judy, I'm not so easy to trust people, give me a little more time - of course, I think we should renegotiate the offer again, is our contract due to expire in three months?"
"Yes, you have to be prepared," Judy said half-jokingly, "and it's definitely going to be a new price that will scare you." ”
It's not that Judy will raise the price when she sees her popular, it is precisely because she is more popular that Judy needs to raise the price, as her popularity rises, there will be more PR work feedback to her, if the old price code is used, Judy will suffer, so the price code opened by Judy and her has also risen all the way from the newcomer.
Although she may be slightly more expensive than the market price now, the importance of a successful star to a stable team, and the incense love that has been 'brought up by her' for several years is enough to maintain this price. Jenny nodded, and said without resistance, "Okay, let me put it on my 'scare' waiting list, and I'll go and get spooked when I'm free." ”
She closed her eyes and groaned. "It's been horrible lately - it's been a nightmare." There are so many things for me to decide, but Cesare hasn't returned—"
Cesare accompanied by Christopher. Hanks did something that Jenny was very jealous of – he was on vacation, and he didn't even attend the premiere of Prada. Although it seems that he does not really want to go on vacation, Jenny, who does, finds that she is completely out of time after the box office on the first day: the phone rings non-stop, the success of "Prada" completely affects all aspects of her life, and at such a moment, it seems very irresponsible to go on vacation.
"That's another good reason why you need a manager," Judy admonished, not wasting any more time explaining the advantages of Valentino's offer, "It's often the case that a high-profile celebrity like you will develop a side hustle to better use your public influence, and of course that will feed back into your personal image." Philanthropy, politics, and environmental protection are all areas that celebrities are passionate about, and these things can be very stylish, and can help you maintain your public attention and maintain your value in the case of a box office loss or two. As your PR, I suggest you bypass the two more sensitive areas of politics and environmental protection, and start with charity, which can also help your film company to be tax-exempt and even ......"
She hesitated for a moment, and said in a flickering tone, "Charity is also a way for some celebrities to increase their income, but this is not the category I can explain to you in detail - in short, it is very common for celebrities to do charity and open their own charitable funds, although Valentino's endorsement price code is not as generous as other brands, and it is signed for three years, but I think that time can be negotiated, and the price can be slightly increased, but other brands may not agree to endorse your charitable foundation, After all, this is to use their credibility to vouch for you, there is an obvious style boosting effect, which is equivalent to pulling you to the level of a partner, your foundation starting point will be higher than others, and the press release will be very good, and this will also have very good feedback on your personal image, it will be a very benign hype, so I am personally the most optimistic about Valentino's invitation. ”
It must be said that Judy's suggestion does show her outstanding professionalism, because while she is speaking, Jenny has seen several cooperation invitations with a higher price than Valentino, 7 million a year and 13 million for two years, if there is no analysis from her, then Jenny may think that the cooperation method of 15 million in 3 years is too stingy and ignores the temptation of Valentino's soft conditions, "Partners should be higher than all spokespersons, right?" ”
"Of course." Judy said without thinking, "This contract will make Lindsay. Lohan woke up from a dream with a smile and was Natalie. Portman will also kill people for this contract, Valentino rarely offers such generous conditions to such a young actress, usually speaking, an endorsement of a product line can satisfy a little guy of your age, if it is a full-line endorsement is already an honor, it will be opened to charity cooperation, they really look at you differently. ”
She said Lindsay. Rohan and Natalie. Portman is also a popular little flower with blockbusters, but he is gradually emerging like Jenny, and his worth and box office appeal are rushing to Julia. Roberts's momentum ratio, whether it is the box office, acting evaluation, or personal awards, seems to be a step worse. - Wendy. Fenneman is now a pity, because "Prada" was released at the beginning of the year, and the momentum should have passed by the end of the year, except for Meryl may be sure to be nominated for the Oscars, Jennifer and Emily are very unlikely to be nominated, if she had known that the box office response would be so enthusiastic, she would not choose the current release schedule and ideas, but will firmly delay the release in June, so that the actor is likely to win the award, even if it is just to get the nomination, for "Prada" will be a good help in the later period.
"Wow," Jenny whistled, "9 million in 1 year, Prada is a sky-high price." ”
Although the price of the full line of endorsements will be higher than that of product endorsements, and the workload will be correspondingly larger, 9 million is still a very arrogant price for a luxury brand, and Judy also laughed, "Prada should regret it, if they had been more enthusiastic about this movie, they should have enjoyed the biggest benefits now, not Valentino and Chanel." ”
Due to Prada's cold attitude during the filming of the film, only a high-definition close-up of a bag appeared in the film, and Jenny relied on her good personal relationship with Valentino to borrow a lot of clothes, and reciprocated, and the film also cut a lot of close-ups of Valentino's costumes, including Andy wearing two of their coats, all of which were shot beautifully. Prada's heart must have been heartbroken: the film has Prada in its title, but in the end it is competitors like Valentino and Chanel who enjoy the biggest benefits, and if they were willing to cherish it, such a ridiculous thing would not have happened.
"Okay, tentatively set on Valentino." Jenny folded the papers back together. "I'll get someone to contact them as soon as possible to negotiate a contract."
- The last piece of paper was the contact information that Judy had sorted out for her, and Judy had already made her attitude very clear: if she did not have enough interests and titles, she would not have consulted, analyzed, and negotiated for Jenny, and Jenny would have to find someone else to do.
"You'd better as soon as possible," Judy suggested, "Most brands want to announce the news of the partnership before the movie is released, and use the influence of the movie to grab the headlines." ”
“OK。” Jenny twisted the bridge of her nose, "I see, I need a manager - oh, Gosh, how many more things are we talking about?" ”
"It's too much." Judy flipped through her folder, "Next we have to talk about your engagement to Josh......"
Jenny covered her face and moaned. Moaned, "Ohmygod-my*inggod......"
I can't help but say that the box office and film reviews of "Prada" are indeed a surprise for Jenny, including the improvement that Andy's role has brought to her, which is a result she didn't expect before the release: needless to say, the North American trend of "Prada" can be called a reversal, after winning 38 million box office in the first weekend, the average box office on weekdays from Monday to Thursday is also about 7 million, which is very little different from the weekend, which shows that there are a large number of housewife audiences who go out to watch the movie on weekdays, On the second Sunday, the 10th day of its release, the North American box office of "Prada" exceeded 100 million, and the global box office has gone to 160 million, and the European market has been released from Monday to Thursday, plus three days on the weekend, bringing her 60 million box office, and this is only the first weekend, and there are still several box office countries that have just started to be screened.
And the film reviews and the audience's popularity feedback are also surprisingly positive, if "Love Notebook" and Elle are red films, red characters are not popular, then Andy of "Prada" is a film popular, popular, and the role is not popular. There are few words of praise for Andy in the audience's viewing feedback, but Jennifer's acting skills are praised, including film critics, she, Meryl and Emily's acting skills are juxtaposed and praised, Andy's tearful collapse has been mentioned in many film reviews, although the reviews of the film itself are good and bad, but so far, I have not seen any bad reviews about these three actresses.
"This is Jennifer. Jefferson's work of proving herself, letting the world know that she has what it takes to turn a film into gold, and she has endowed Andy with an unrivalled fighting spirit and indomitable spirit, making her one of the strongest female characters to appear in cinemas this year. This girl proves that she is a very good actress in addition to her strong ability to attract money......"
"Honey, the first-day box office was $11 million, and we made it! We succeeded, we succeeded! ”
Jennifer. Jefferson's outstanding qualities in the film are mesmerizing, and her varied and intoxicating acting proves her high plasticity, and I personally look forward to seeing her next work, which I think is a peerless prodigy. ”
"38 million in the first week - the domestic box office estimate has gone to 200 million, do you know what that means? We've made a lot of money -- we've definitely made a lot of money, oh! I'm sure Fox must be regretting why he let you into the game now......"
“…… When it comes to Andy, I can't help but take a deep breath, J.J. Jennifer's performance in this film is impressive, we all know that she is a very aura actor, her performance is eclectic and aura, Elizabeth and Elle are very charming characters, but Andy completely eclipsed the first two characters, Jennifer's treatment of Andy is an eye-opener, her performance wanders between calm and passion, and has a strong personal charm, in commercial films, Andy is a rare controversial heroine, And she's so important, her failure would have made the whole film a mediocre work that people regrettably, and Jennifer managed to make Prada a classic masterpiece, and I'm sure that 10 or 20 years from now, Andy's performance will be as new as the fashion looks in the film, and the young people of that time will exclaim......"
"160 million worldwide, I guess this will be my most profitable film, hehehe......"
When she wrote the idea of adapting "Prada", Jenny never thought that this project would have such a tortuous production process and such a dazzling result, of course, for most people, this is a very normal filmmaking process, every movie is a big gamble, people in this industry are probably used to such psychological pressure, but for her, this is her real experience of a film from scratch, and finally put it to the market, the bitter and sweet in the hearts of the main creators, including the psychological reaction of the actors when they see the film review, It's the first time to experience it, of course, she got a lot of praise before, but she wasn't too excited - although a child who cheated on the full score of the test also cheated hard, when she saw the score, she would definitely not be so emotional as the student who took the test by her own efforts.
Watching her performance on the big screen, seeing Andy, who belongs to her - who is completely her, being praised by so many heavyweight critics, and seeing this completely unfamiliar "Prada" wielding a butcher's knife in the market and reaping the box office ...... Jenny is really hard to describe the feeling of fullness in her heart, although she and Josh are celebrating, but she still feels panicked, because her friends can't understand why this movie is so meaningful to her, why she has always been calm and calm, she will suddenly be so happy, this is probably a happy trouble, 'wealth does not return to the hometown, like a brocade night walk', success and no one to share, but also a little lonely.
…… And that's just the most inconspicuous of the troubles that have come with Prada's popularity.
-- Just a week after Prada's $38 million squad, Jenny found herself the most anticipated person in Hollywood's social circles, with everyone calling her and inviting her to parties and dinners, and she wasn't talking about friends she had met in the film and television circles, but Fox's head of buying, Universal's COO, and even Lucas's George. Lucas...... If at the time of the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Notebook", the Hollywood social circle could still tolerate her escapism and maintain a certain degree of reserve for her, a newcomer who is rapidly becoming popular, then now, their patience has reached the limit, and the endorsement invitation of luxury brands is only one side, in fact, whether it is the new line or the high-level dinner of Universal and Disney, whether it is LV or Chanel's designer party, those small circles that are unattainable for outsiders and even for the middle level of the circle, Now one by one the doors are open to her, even Spielberg, James. A big director like Cameron also expressed a certain interest in Jenny, and directly called the invitation, not necessarily saying that they were going to cooperate immediately, but these directors wanted to meet her, and they had an impression in their hearts, so that they would not miss each other when there were suitable roles......
Jenny wasn't a very sociable person, but she couldn't be stupid enough to turn away these precious opportunities, and her already busy life suddenly added a lot of work, after all, you can't just go over and meet with the director unprepared, you always have to look at people's resumes, find some minefields, find flattery and so on - these things alone, even with the cooperation of Cesare, who is remotely controlled overseas, are enough to make Mary a mess.
Coupled with the resumption of almost 24-hour follow-up paparazzi (the number of followers reached 30), as well as talk show invitations, interview invitations, various event invitations and sponsorship invitations sent like snowflakes, Judy is about to hang up, and Jenny herself has a terrible amount of information to deal with, and the expansion of the team seems to be imminent.
And these are not counting the preparation for the filming of "The Fifth Sally", as well as the financial follow-up and docking of New Line and Fox on Big Dream's side, as well as her marriage contract with Josh.
Yes, she and Josh are going to get engaged - or to announce the engagement, they have already released the news of Josh's new action film in January this year, and they have made a lot of space and won a lot of exposure for Josh and her, which is very beneficial to Josh and her new film. And now that the time is in late February, "Star Wars Prequel 3" is about to premiere in April, and the sequel to "Pirates of the Caribbean" will start filming in a few months, and the official announcement of the engagement at this time is very beneficial to both projects, and Jenny can also justifiably replace the chastity ring with an engagement ring, so that this problem will be settled once and for all, and for most Americans, engagement is equivalent to marriage. It's incredible that Hollywood stars can hold on to it until after they get engaged, so even if Jenny takes off her chastity ring, she won't be harshly criticized. After she breaks up with Josh, it will not affect her normal interactions with others.
Needless to say, this meant a lot of work, a lot of romantic details to remember, and a lot of street photography, and Jenny felt that what she desperately needed right now was someone who could triple the real time, so that she had a 72-hour golden finger a day, so much to do, that she didn't know where to start, and worst of all, it usually came with a very tight deadline.
“…… So we still chose to officially release it in "People". "Then we can arrange for you to do an interview with The Oprah Show, they sent in an invitation last week, and they were very happy with the previous collaboration, and this time Oprah wants to talk to you about fashion and women's self-growth in the workplace, and of course she will be happy if you want to talk about engagement - which will definitely be good for Prada at the box office." ”
"OK," after complaining, business still has to be faced, Jenny opened the electronic calendar, put an asterisk on the time mentioned by Judy, and the words 'public engagement' on the note, "What is the last date to reply to those endorsement invitations?" ”
"The sooner the better." Judy said.
Jenny sighed and marked the time limit to two days later: "Research the basics of endorsement invitations and the establishment of charitable foundations", "We have to talk about the charitable foundation again, it is best to do it before the new line dividends are credited, so that the tax can be deducted, I still need your opinion on the charitable direction of this charitable foundation, but I have to go now, Inuo. Martin invited me to lunch. ”
Judy stood up to help her put away a large stack of papers, Jenny took it back to the car, and called Mary again, "Tell me you've taken David. Finch's information was sent to me. ”
"Two more minutes!" Mary yelled on the other end of the phone, "I won't miss your dinner date with him!" ”
David. Fincher's desire to direct was not very high, but after watching "The Devil Wears Prada", his tone softened, but before making a decision, he wanted to meet Jenny, this date invitation was only sent yesterday, for some reason, Cesare suddenly couldn't be contacted, and his new assistant couldn't get David. Fincher's personal information, for today's dinner, Mary has stayed up all night for this. - But Jenny wasn't in too much of a hurry, even if she brought the information yesterday, she actually only had time to read it after lunch, anyway, this morning's date with Judy couldn't be postponed, and although Ino's invitation was sudden, she felt it was best not to refuse.
#
"Ino."
"Jenny." Black and silver hair, personable Ino. Martin stood up with a smile and shook Jenny's hand.
"I hope you didn't wait too long." Jenny sat down and said, "I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam at noon, and it took a little time to park. ”
"Oh, it doesn't matter." Eno still had a pleasant smile on his face, "When I was younger, I would arrive a few minutes early for every appointment, and this habit has been maintained until now, so you are not late, but I am early." ”
Although he is the CEO of CAA, Ino can be said to be in power, holding a lot of resources that many people dream of, but Ino has always been smiling and welcoming, Jenny just signed a contract for the performance of "Pirates of the Caribbean" when she first met him, and she can be described as a nobody, but even so, Eno is also kind and kind to her - there are only a few strange people like Cesare in the agent after all, and it is Cesare, who is also smiling and pleasant in the face of worthy objects.
“So。” During the whole process of Jenny sitting down and ordering, she could feel that Ino was observing her, and after she finished ordering, Ino simply pushed a document to her, "I think you must be curious to know why I invited you to dinner-"
Jenny opened the folder and looked at it, and she exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! Finch's—"
"Yes, David. Some of Fincher's private profiles. Eno smiled and said, "I've heard about your dinner with him tonight, and I think you'll need it." ”
"It does." Jenny couldn't help but smile as well, "Thank you, Ino, you're so sweet. ”
"That's the way CAA works, as long as the client needs it, as long as we have it -- you don't even have to ask." Eno winked at Jenny. "Do you need to go back and read the materials now, or would you like to reward me for the time of a meal?"
Jenny laughed, "Let's talk while eating, I guess you didn't just invite me for this information, did you, Ino?" ”
Of course, she had some guesses about the purpose of Ino inviting her to dinner, after Ino asked Lilian to pass the word, Jenny had already felt his interest in herself, CAA has always studied the needs of customers very thoroughly, she didn't have this need before, CAA didn't say anything, now Jenny needs more services, CAA wants to sign a comprehensive agency contract in due time, and it is natural for Eno to take this matter on herself.
"That's right." Eno picked up the glass and took a sip, "What I want to talk to you about is your brokerage contract - Jenny, I guess you also found out that when the box office of the movie you starred in may exceed 400 million, many things are different." ”
Jenny nodded, and she didn't want to say much to Ino, with ears and not mouths.
"So, would you be interested in having CAA as your carte blanche agent?" Ino tapped at the papers on the table, "We can get you everything you need, of course, it's not legal, but it's not so legal—"
He gestured and smiled a little mischievously, "Maybe you can consider, in short, CAA can give you a perfect service, we can make you think about nothing but acting, any experts you need, for example - I don't know, maybe right now you need a new house, a new yacht in Malibu, and a private jet, your big dream movie needs some loyal new employees, you need bodyguards, a second assistant, maybe you want a cat - a dog?" A vacation? Some private lessons to guide you on how to spend your money, anything, whenever you need it, CAA can arrange it for you - you've made it to our A-list of services, Jenny, you can enjoy a level of comfort and care that you can't match with Cesare, and our fees, I can proudly say, are not expensive, the average in the industry, but it can save you a lot of money and energy, how about it, Jenny, has my lobbying made you excited? ”
To be honest, Jenny did believe that CAA had the ability, and if she hadn't wanted to discuss it with Cesare first, maybe she would have considered signing the plenipotentiary, but for now, the delaying tactic was the most appropriate response, "You know, Ino, this is a big decision, I'll admit I'm a little tempted, but if you can give me a few days to think about it......"
"Of course, of course." Eno spread his hands, "Nopressure, Takeyoutime." ”
The waitress served the main course, Jenny took a bite of the salad, and Eno continued, "One more thing, I think it's time to talk to you - I've always felt sorry for your treatment within the company, Jenny, you should have gotten the basic B-list treatment a long time ago." The one-to-one responsibility relationship in CAA is almost exclusively for newcomers who have just entered the industry, A-list? Usually there's a whole team at her service, like Christopher, and while Cesare accompanies him on his private resort island, there are dozens of agents working on him for his next new film. And you, as soon as Cesare goes to Asia, you don't have a second docking officer, which seems to me to be a gross negligence and negligence—"
Jenny wanted to speak, but Eno rushed to say, "Sure, I know your character, dear, you're a quiet person, maybe not that social, and dealing with too many people can make you feel stressed, but I think you're worth the 24/7 service, don't you?" ”
"Really?" Jenny smiled and asked, "I'm sorry, but I really don't know, Ino, I have to say that I love my life now, I don't think there's anything that needs to change." ”
Ino paused, looked at her with a smile on his face, and then said, "Hmm..."
Jenny made a questioning look, "Huh? ”
"I see." Eno took a sip of the red wine that accompanied the meal.
"What do you understand?" Jenny asked.
Slightly hurried footsteps came from the door of the restaurant, and Jenny and Ino turned their heads together to look at Cesare who was walking briskly towards them, and Ino shrugged his shoulders as he slowly put his glass back on the table.
"I see, Miss Jefferson—it seems that you are very loyal to the Chesa."
"Ino." Cesare smiled warmly, and Ino. Martin also stood up and shook hands with him and hugged him, smiling and patting Cesare on the back, "Cesare. ”
Without waiting for the waiter to move, Cesare pulled his chair apart and sat down beside Jeanne.
"So." He said, putting his hand on the back of Jenny's chair, "What are you talking to my client, Ino?" ”
When Ino and his eyes met, a ripple of sparks rippled, and Jenny watched the scene contemplatively, suddenly feeling a little apprehensive: choosing to side with Cesare was tantamount to being an enemy of Martin, and there was no solution to the best of both worlds.
And the impact of being an enemy of Martin may be greater and more far-reaching than she thought......
The author has something to say: a return
I went to see "Interstellar" today, hahaha, I don't know if Jenny will master this one in the future...... (It would be nice if she were a boy, the male protagonist in this one has more room to play.)
