Chapter 181: The last thing you want to see happens
The next day, Veuve Clicquot Film and Television Culture Company.
Jiang Baizhi actually hasn't come to the company's headquarters for a long time, and if it weren't for Lu Qing's call, she wouldn't have rushed over.
"Teacher Jiang, Sister Lu is already waiting for you in the small conference room." It was Tangerine who spoke, "Mr. Jiang, congratulations on being nominated for Best Actress at the Venice Film Festival." β
"You all know?"
"The news came out yesterday, and it has been on Weibo for a day, can I not know." It may be that Jiang Baizhi's expression is too calm, and Tangerine is a little curious, "Teacher Jiang, do you have a big grasp of this nomination?" β
"Huh? Why does it seem that you are more nervous and concerned than me? β
"Teacher Jiang, if you really win this award, you will be the only one among Hua Dan of the same age! I'm a fan of your career, and you're going to win the award, and that's what all our fans want! β
Jiang Baizhi was a little amused by Tangerine's words, "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words." β
The two of them talked and laughed and walked quickly, maybe the news had indeed come, and the staff who came over along the way were cheering for Jiang Baizhi.
Pushing open the door of the conference room, Tangerine said, "Mr. Jiang, you go in first, I'll pour you tea." β
"Miss Jiang, let me interview you, how does it feel to be nominated for the actress?"
"Sister Lu, you said you were just nominated." Jiang Baizhi said helplessly, "You didn't let me come over because of this incident, right?" β
"I've been with your Professor Su for a long time, this realm is amazing. Don't say you don't know, this kind of world-class authoritative award is a great qualification even if it is just a nomination. β
"Do we need this one nomination?" Jiang Baizhi joked.
"I'm relieved to see your mentality, but this nomination is still very meaningful." Lu Qing took out several folders, "Take a look, I've collected four scripts from yesterday to today, see if there are any favorites." β
Looking at Jiang Baizhi's puzzled look, Lu Qing explained, "Since you don't keep in touch with the outside world, my phone was about to be blown up yesterday, and the four scripts in front of me are still screened by me, and the team is good." I also know their plan very well, which is to bet in advance. If you really get the actress, then this is the first movie you have become a movie queen, full of publicity gimmicks. If you don't get it, it doesn't matter, anyway, you are also a Hua Dan with box office appeal, but you don't win so much. β
Jiang Baizhi didn't even open these scripts, but said directly, "Sister Lu, what if I say I don't think about any of them?" β
"You don't play any of them?"
At this moment, Tangerine knocked on the door and came in, and obediently placed a cup of tea in front of Jiang Baizhi.
After Jiang Baizhi nodded to Tangerine, she continued, "Not only will I not act now, but I am also going to rest for a while. β
Lu Qing's face couldn't help but become serious, "Are you serious?" β
"Sister Lu, I rarely joke about work."
The atmosphere was suddenly a little anxious, of course Tangerine knew Lu Qing's intention of calling Jiang Baizhi to come, and she still helped print these scripts, but looking at this situation, it was obvious that she didn't talk about it. Mr. Jiang not only didn't prepare to act, but it seemed that he was going to take a break for a while.
Although she was worried, she was just a little assistant, and it was impossible to say anything, so she bowed and hurriedly withdrew.
Looking at the oranges and going out, Lu Qing spoke, "Is it because of Professor Su?" β
Jiang Baizhi nodded, "It is undeniable that there are reasons for Su Ye, but I also have my considerations." β
"Tell me about it."
"Su Ye has always been very supportive of my work, but I am already thirty years old, and the time for a woman to look good is very short for me, I want to spend more time with Su Ye while I am still in my prime and leave more good memories, so I must reduce my work plan. But it's not a one-brain reduction, the movie "Professor" is expected to be released on November 11, but the roadshow will start in September. Before this roadshow, if there is a suitable one, I will join the group, and if there is no suitable one, I will rest.
If, I mean, if I did get the actress at the Venice Film Festival in August. Personally, I also feel that it is necessary to reduce the work plan, because I have passed the stage of proving my qualifications and making money with my work. What I want to do is to maintain the reputation of the actress, and the works are few and fine, rather than pursuing exposure. β
Lu Qing pondered for a long time, "What you said makes sense, if you really win the actress, and then rely on your age, it is enough for you to get the commercial endorsement you need, and your commercial value will only be higher." What you need to do is indeed to control the quality of the follow-up works, completely distance yourself from the actresses of your generation, and even catch up with the predecessors. And the company doesn't need you to take over the drama to make money, having your actress's trophy in charge and acting as a faΓ§ade is more important than making money. β
Jiang Baizhi couldn't help but smile when she saw that Lu Qing wanted to understand, "Sister Lu, did you think I was a love brain just now?" Don't even want a career for the sake of love? β
"Who made your heart be on Professor Su." Lu Qing did not deny it.
"My heart is all in him, but I know that he loves the independent Jiang Baizhi, not the Jiang Baizhi who is willing to be a vassal."
"Okay, I found out you're really going to feed me dog food right now." Speaking of this, Lu Qing paused, "Bai Zhi, but to be honest, after you were nominated, the quality of the script handed over was significantly higher than usual, and I will also pay attention to you during this time, you must be ready to join the group at any time." β
"Okay, hard work, Sister Lu."
On the other side, Tangerine's phone rang suddenly, and Tangerine was stunned for a moment, because the caller was Su Ye.
"Hello Tangerine, I made an appointment with Bai Zhi to visit Wanning for a while, but I sent her a message and never responded, I was worried that she was busy so I didn't call her, I wanted to ask you."
"Professor Su, Teacher Jiang is having a meeting with Sister Lu, and it is estimated that it will take some time."
"I see, then I'll just wait a little longer."
"Well, Professor Su, if you have anything else, you can call me at any time."
"Okay, Tangerine, thank you, if it's okay, I'll hang up first."
Listening to Su Ye's generous and warm voice, Tangerine suddenly thought of the 'saber rattling' situation in the conference room just now. She didn't know that Jiang Baizhi and Lu Qing had a very close relationship, and there would be no real conflict between the two. In her opinion, the atmosphere just now was terrible, Teacher Jiang was very serious, and Sister Lu was not smiling, as if she was going to be mad immediately.
So Tangerine cautiously spoke, "Professor Su, there is really something, but I don't know whether to say it or not. β
After a long time, after promising to keep the orange secret, Su Ye hung up the phone.
Su Ye on the other end of the phone took a deep breath, he didn't want Jiang Baizhi to sacrifice for her, but the last thing he wanted to happen still happened
