Chapter 374
374 The test
To her surprise, Jiang se, who was initially not very interested in the entertainment industry, entered the industry under the pressure of a lack of money. On the other hand, she did not know how Lu Baobao, who had dragged her to the film set, was doing.
As she thought of this, her mind wandered for a moment, but she quickly focused her attention on talking to Zhang Jingan again.
I’ve seen your performance in a few movies. Zhang Jingan smiled. His expression was gentle as if he was having a casual conversation with Jiang se.
“In the few movies that you’re currently in, you have a different image in almost every character.”
In ” rescue mission, ” she would rather die than submit. She played the role of a girl who refused to betray her former master when facing the Japanese invaders, but was full of desire for life.
Zhang Jingan closed his eyes and recalled the look in her eyes at that time. He smiled slightly.
“In” event of Beiping,”you played the role of a social butterfly born in troubled times.”
In ” the 99th love letter ” and ” pretense to reality “, she appeared as a pretty face.
In ” about I love you, ” she played Zhou Wei, who was a little melancholic. She was annoyed by life and had a little desire for love.
After that, she directly took on the role of ‘demon’. Zhang Jingan asked, ”
why did you choose such a huge change in the image of the movie? ”
Jiang se did not answer him immediately. Zhang Jingan changed his question.
let’s put it this way. You’re constantly changing the type of character because you’re afraid of being fixed by one character, or because you don’t like the script, or because you haven’t reached an agreement in other aspects? ”
Jiang se looked straight into Zhang Jingan’s eyes. He was smiling, and the corners of his eyes were slightly wrinkled from his smile. He was waiting for Jiang SE’s answer.
to be honest, I haven’t thought about the problem of being set in stone yet. Jiang se said, ” but I don’t have the right to choose the script in the early stages of the game. You should know that.
As soon as she finished speaking, the people in the meeting room obviously understood what she meant and laughed softly.
after the post-production, I’ll choose the script based on my own interests.
Her honest answer made mo Anqi a little anxious, but she didn’t dare to say anything in front of the famous director.
Xia Chaoqun, who was standing at the side, was not flustered at all. He acted as if he did not see the situation in front of him. Zhang Jingan asked, ”
“What if you’re not interested in my new show?”
The test had finally come.
The meeting room was silent. Everyone was waiting for Jiang SE’s answer. Zhang Jingan took a bottle of mineral water and held it in his hand. you should understand that my show might not necessarily meet your requirements. If you’re not interested in my new show and there’s a chance for us to work together, what would you choose under such circumstances? ”
Zhang Jingan’s words were full of traps. If he praised his movie at this time, his reputation would be great, and he would be too ingratiating. However, if he did not answer well, it was very likely that his subsequent auditions would be canceled.
Mo Anqi kept glancing at Xia Chaoqun, but the latter crossed his arms and crossed his legs without saying a word.
“I haven’t even watched your new show, so how does director Zhang know that I’m not interested?”
Jiang se chuckled and avoided Zhang Jingan’s question. She did not answer his question directly.
Mo Anqi’s answer was a trick and not a mistake. On the contrary, she was smart enough to avoid the trap that Zhang Jingan had dug for her. Mo Anqi finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhang Jingan continued to ask, ”
I’m saying if you’ve already finished reading the script, but you’re not interested in it after reading it. What would you choose? ”
Jiang SE’s expression gradually turned solemn. Zhang Jingan was very persistent about this question and insisted that she make a choice.
How should he answer such a question?
If she said that she was not interested in his film but still chose to film it in the end, it would obviously go against what she had said before. It would show that she was not firm in her stand and had no principles.
However, if she said that she was not interested in Zhang Jingan’s film and chose to give up such a role after reading the script, she might offend Zhang Jingan even though she was loyal to her previous choice.
She thought of Tao cen, who had lost this opportunity, and the words that Xia Chaoqun had once said.
Zhang Jingan’s new film might be chosen from the female stars of Galaxy century, but she was not the only female star in Galaxy century.
Jiang se chuckled wryly and exchanged a look with Zhang Jingan. When Zhang Jingan saw the helplessness in her eyes, he could not help but laugh out loud. He also understood that Jiang se must be feeling very conflicted at the moment.
The air-conditioning vent above her head was blowing cold air. The room was air-conditioned, but Jiang SE’s back was already drenched in sweat after sitting there for a while.
From the corner of her eye, she could almost see in the mirror that her nose was already sweating. When she went out today, she had put on a light layer of makeup just to be polite. The light Foundation could not hide her serious expression.
Xia Chaoqun couldn’t help her at this moment. Through the mirror, she could see mo Anqi’s anxious expression.
She remembered that a few years ago, before she had signed a contract with century Galaxy, she seemed to have faced the same choice at Lin xiwen’s company.
Lin xiwen had given her the female lead role in a low-cost film, but she had insisted on choosing ” events of Beiping ” in the end and had tried her best to fight for it. In the end, she had gotten the role of ” doukou ” and won an award at the Chinese film Festival for this role.
At this point, Jiang se put aside her gains and losses. Just as Zhang Jingan had said, if she were to look at the script purely from the perspective of the script, would she take on the role because of Zhang Jingan’s popularity if she did not like it?
She gave it some thought. Although she felt that she might offend Zhang Jingan, she still sighed and shook her head.
I’m sorry, director Zhang. I’ve thought about it seriously. Although I feel that it’s a pity, if I don’t like the script, I might not accept it, even if you’re the director.
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Jingan did not say anything. Mo Anqi was extremely anxious and bit her lip. Jiang se continued, ”
I know this is a good opportunity, but it’s precisely because it’s such a good opportunity that I’m thinking about it more seriously.
Zhang Jingan placed the bottle of mineral water on his lap. With one hand supporting the bottle, he gestured with the other, indicating for her to continue.
for a film, especially a big production, the higher the cost, the more cautious a film crew will be in every aspect.
It was impossible for a director of Zhang Jingan’s level to direct a movie on a small scale.
His fame was there, and sometimes, fame was not just the applause and flowers that outsiders saw, but it might carry more.
