For example, if a new director or an unknown director made a mistake in the movie, the audience might be more forgiving. This was because they did not have much expectations for a new director. If the movie did not do well, many people would think that it was not easy for a new director to achieve this.
On the contrary, the audience would take it for granted that Zhang Jingan’s movies had good box office sales and a good reputation.
He was an internationally renowned director and had been famous for many years. He was supported by many movies that had good box office performances. Once his crew was established, both the audience and the media would pay more attention to him. At the same time, their expectations of him would be much higher.
If he did not do well, the audience would be disappointed and might think that he had run out of ideas.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Jingan had to be more careful in every movie he made in order to maintain his current status.
Jiang se recalled the year she had first met PEI Yi a few years ago. back then, I had not signed a contract to enter century Galaxy. I heard from my boyfriend that you were in the midst of preparing for your movie.
Counting the time, it had been more than three years. A movie had been prepared for several years and had only just started shooting. It was unknown how many people had put in effort and hard work behind it.
Tao cen’s schedule was too tight because she had accepted the role of ” the lost city “. She could not meet Zhang Jingan’s requirement of three months of training before joining the crew and was kicked out of the crew by Zhang Jingan. This also proved that Zhang Jingan had reached the point of nitpicking his own film.
He could not tolerate any flaws or imperfections in the film. Most importantly, he could not accept Tao cen’s neglect.
When Jiang se thought of this, she decided to take a risk. so, under such circumstances, if I don’t like the script that much, I can’t take on this film. This is a form of disrespect to you and the entire crew.
After she said this, Zhang Jingan narrowed his eyes and asked, ”
what if you lose this opportunity and someone else gets it? ” He paused for a moment. will you regret it then? ”
Jiang se nodded.
it’s inevitable that I’ll be a little bothered by such a situation. After all, I’m also a human, and I have seven emotions and six desires.
When she said this, Zhang Jingan and a few other staff members laughed out loud. Jiang se laughed as well. Zhang Jingan did not mind her earlier answer, which proved that her speculation of Zhang Jingan’s personality was correct.
but I feel that if I train my acting skills and be loyal to myself, even if I lose this opportunity, just based on what I said earlier, do you agree with my character? ”
Zhang Jingan nodded without hesitation.
“Of course, I like your answer.”
Jiang se laughed.
“You see, you agree with my answer and you also agree with my character. So, even if I lose such an opportunity, I believe that if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, you will cooperate with me again. If I force myself to take on a movie that I don’t like, even if I get this role for various reasons and become more famous because of it, I believe that this will only happen once. After this cooperation, you may stay away from me the next time you see me. ”
Her meaning was clear. Zhang Jingan clapped his hands when he heard her say this.
A few staff members in the meeting room also applauded. Zhang Jingan looked at Jiang se with a much gentler gaze.
I think that’s why Liu Ye is willing to work with you again. He even said that it was a pleasure working with you.
Her answer made Zhang Jingan feel very comfortable. Just as Jiang se had said, the movie was the result of his painstaking efforts. He needed the actors to have the correct attitude and not aim for fame and status.
“If I had chosen to play a supporting role today, perhaps I wouldn’t have said so much to you.” There was no need for him to test her like this. it’s precisely because it’s the main role that, as you said, this movie is not only my hard work, but also the result of many behind-the-scenes staff’s years of hard work.
Every plot and every detail had been carefully thought over.
Jiang se, it’s good that you have such an attitude.
As he spoke, he looked at the time on his wrist. It had been nearly half an hour since the previous conversation, but at least the result was satisfactory for Zhang Jingan, so the time was not wasted.
He turned to his side and gestured to his assistant. Then, he turned to Jiang se and said, ”
“I’m sure Chaoqun has already explained to you the purpose of our meeting today.”
When Zhang Jingan mentioned Xia Chaoqun, he addressed her by her name. It was obvious that he was very familiar with Xia Chaoqun.
Jiang se was not surprised by this. After all, the female lead for Zhang Jingan’s movie was previously decided to be Tao cen. Xia Chaoqun had always been in charge of Tao cen’s previous work. She must have had quite a few dealings with Zhang Jingan. The two of them should be friends.
so now I’m asking you to follow Lin Siyi and remove your makeup. He scratched his head. we can talk about the rest after you remove your makeup.
When Jiang se heard this, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that she had probably passed the test earlier and had left a good impression on Zhang Jingan.
The moment he finished speaking, Jiang se stood up. Lin Siyi led her to the dressing room. She looked at the time.
“Miss Jiang, the makeup remover and water are all here.” There were a few simple makeup removal tools in the dressing room, but there were not many skincare products.
Jiang SE’s meeting with Zhang Jingan was already a tight schedule. The previous conversation had already taken up nearly half an hour. She did not have much time left for the audition, so she could not waste it on applying makeup.
Therefore, Jiang SE only removed the light makeup on her face and washed her face with the facial wash. After applying some toner and lotion on her face, she signaled to Lin Siyi.
Her makeup wasn’t thick, so it wasn’t troublesome to remove it. It only took a few minutes to clean up, so fast that Lin Siyi was a little surprised.
Zhang Jingan’s assistant did not stay dazed for long. She only lost her composure for a moment before she quickly regained her composure. She retrieved a silk scarf from the dressing room and gestured for Jiang se to follow her out.
When she returned to the meeting room, Zhang Jingan’s expression was inevitably much sterner when he sized Jiang se up.
Her face was very clean and no longer had any makeup on. Perhaps it was because she had removed her makeup too quickly, she had used too much force, and her skin was slightly red.
However, on the whole, there was not much difference between her bare face and her face with makeup. In fact, compared to her face with makeup, her bare face had a different charm.
As an artiste, Jiang se was obviously very good at maintaining her body and face. Her skin was very good. It was fair and flawless. Her eyes were like two black Mercury balls in water, ethereal and clean.
