Chapter 602
602 Psychological state
One could imagine how important hair was to a woman. It would not be easy to get a top movie star like Jiang se to shave her head when she was at her peak.
It had not been easy to film ” suspect ” until now. They were already halfway through filming. Jiang SE’s scenes were almost done. At this critical juncture, Huo Zhiming could not lose his temper.
If he insisted on having Jiang se shave her head and things got out of hand, Jiang se might end up quitting. That would be a scandal for the production team. The investors who came because of Jiang se might also withdraw their investments, which would affect the progress of the film. It would also take a long time before the film would be released.
Huo Zhiming’s reputation was already bad enough. If he offended Jiang se, it would be even more difficult for him to survive in this industry.
Moreover, ever since Jiang se joined the crew, she had a good temper and a good attitude. She was very rigorous in every filming session and could tolerate Huo Zhiming’s strange temper. During the filming process, the cooperation between the two of them went smoothly because of her tolerance.
If they started a fight now, it would not do Huo Zhiming any good.
“Director Huo, why don’t we film this scene at another time?”
The Assistant Director was still asking for Huo Zhiming’s opinion. Huo Zhiming narrowed his eyes and bit his upper lip. His expression was a little serious.
“Call Jiang se over.”
He pondered for a while and suddenly spoke. The assistant, who was familiar with his temperament, was put in a difficult position and quickly stopped him.
“Director Huo, I don’t think that’s a good idea. We’ve already decided on a show. If we change it now, it’ll affect the progress of ‘suspect’.”
The Assistant Director was confused. Huo Zhiming seemed to have made his decision and ignored his assistant’s attempt to stop him.
call Jiang se over. There are some changes to this scene. I want to talk to her about it.
Tao cen’s lips curled into a smile. When she saw Huo Zhiming’s two assistants sweating profusely from anxiety, Jiang se, who was standing a distance away, could vaguely sense that something was not right. She should have noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange.
When she saw Tao cen’s gaze, she calmly met his gaze and then naturally looked away.
At this moment, Tao cen really wanted to know if her calmness was due to the fact that Huo Zhiming valued her more in ” suspect ” and was willing to guide her in related matters. Was that why she was so calm and didn’t put in so much effort like she was?
She really wanted to know if Jiang se and Huo Zhiming’s relationship-one willing to teach and the other serious in learning-would be able to maintain the current filming atmosphere after it broke down.
When Huo Zhiming’s stubbornness flared up and he asked Jiang se to cut off her long hair that she had been keeping for years just for a scene like this, how would Jiang se react?
Her expression might change drastically, or she might refuse.
She still had to discuss the shampoo endorsement. Since Tao cen was able to find out about this, Xia Chaoqun would definitely not hide it from her.
After shaving her hair, it meant that she had to wave goodbye to the France shampoo brand for this movie clip.
She had to hide for a period of time, otherwise it would affect her beautiful face.
the salvation of God ” just so happened to be screening worldwide at the end of December. For such a heavyweight epic blockbuster, the investment company was a well-known foreign consortium, and the director was Chesare, so there would be a wave of hype before the film was released.
Jiang se would follow chessaray around the world to promote the upcoming movie, ” God’s salvation. the movie’s original work had become famous after chessaray had started filming it.
Tao cen had also read the English version of this novel before. As she was in the same company as Jiang se, she knew more about it than the others.
Jiang se was playing the female lead in the novel, Lannie. She was a girl who had been extremely weak since her early days. The book had described her early days. Her waist-length hair was like vines that wrapped around her delicate body. When Andre rescued her, he saw her eyes that were filled with fear but were still as bright and clear as gems. At that moment, he felt that she was as pure and beautiful as an Angel.
If she shaved her hair for ‘suspect,’ her hair would only grow below her ears during the promotion Period from October to December, which would be a world of difference from her current image.
It was already very risky for chessaray to kick out Laura and replace her with Jiang se during the filming process. Therefore, when the film started shooting, they had announced that Jiang se would be playing the role. However, they had never announced that Jiang se would eventually replace Laura as the female lead and would have many scenes with Donald.
Once the news spread, it was already a very dangerous move to kick away a Hollywood sweetheart with a Chinese actress. No one knew better than Tao cen about the rejection from the European and American markets.
In addition, the image of this Chinese girl did not match the mysterious and pure appearance of ‘Lannie’ in the film. How could chessaray convince the dissatisfied believers to save the film?
No matter how high Jiang SE’s starting point in the Western market was, if her first big-budget film met with a defeat, how could she climb back up?
Putting aside all these external factors, no matter how dedicated Jiang se was to her work, she was still a woman. Very few women would be willing to shave their heads for a single scene, especially artistes.
If she rejected Huo Zhiming, then the harmonious relationship between them would naturally be affected.
In Huo Zhiming’s heart, Jiang se was no longer the dedicated, obedient, and motivated actress. Would he go through the trouble of focusing the camera on her again so that it would be difficult to distinguish between the primary and secondary character of ‘Su Yi’?
Similarly, regardless of whether Jiang se agreed to Huo Zhiming’s request or not, her momentum would suffer a blow. That would be the time for Tao cen to take advantage of the situation and pursue her.
The two assistants looked helpless, but Huo Zhiming’s attitude was firm. When Jiang se walked over, she glanced at Tao cen before her gaze finally landed on Huo Zhiming.
“Director Huo, you called?”
“For the next scene, I have a question to ask you.”
Huo Zhiming gave Jiang se a meaningful look.
in the next scene, the character you were supposed to play,’Su Yi’, was shaving his hair, but we all overlooked a very big problem. He pointed at Jiang SE’s hair, which was still dripping with water.
“That’s hair.”
Hair was a huge flaw, especially in the case of the man in the hotel. Long hair was not good for movement, and for a cautious woman like Su Yi, it was a mistake that he shouldn’t have made.
Jiang se licked her lips and looked at Tao cen, who was smiling. When Tao cen had appeared for her scene today, mo Anqi had already told her that she had ill intentions.
“I want you to focus on your hair in the next scene. Can you cut your hair?”
As Tao cen had expected, Huo Zhiming made this request, ” “It’s best if you can shave it all off.”
His personality was actually very easy to grasp. His weakness was that he was constantly perfecting his film. The staff around him who heard this were all surprised. The Assistant Director also widened his eyes and opened his mouth, unable to come back to his senses.
At this moment, many people had the same thought in their hearts: Was Huo Zhiming crazy? He made this request.
Who was Jiang se? She was the top female star in China. When she entered the cast of ” suspect, ” her lines and appearance time were not as good as Tao cen’s. Now, Huo Zhiming was asking her to shave her hair for such a role. This was not harsh. He was clearly making things difficult for her.
“Director Huo, this is Yingluo who can be put on makeup.”
The Assistant Director felt a headache coming on. He shot a look at Huo Zhiming’s two assistants. It was only then that everyone realized what Tao cen had meant earlier.
He had long heard that Tao cen and Jiang se were not on good terms. Even though they did not seem close on the surface, they still treated each other with respect. The Assistant Director had never expected that Tao cen would be so good at manipulating people’s hearts in their competition. He had used Huo Zhiming’s character to suppress Jiang se.
you’ve read the script of ‘the suspect’ and know the character ‘Su Yi’. Huo Zhiming waved his hand and gestured for the crowd to keep quiet. He then ordered, ”
change the two O ‘clock shooting to half past two. The crew is ready. Jiang se, come out with me for a walk.
He rolled up the notebook in his hand and stuffed it into the pocket of his jacket. He motioned for Jiang se to walk around with him.
Mo Anqi, Chen Shan, and the other assistants had also heard Huo Zhiming’s words earlier. They were both anxious and angry. Everyone had different expressions on their faces. Some were angry, some were anxious, and some were like Tao cen, waiting to watch a good show. However, Jiang se had calmed down after the initial shock.
She nodded and motioned for mo Anqi to get her coat. Although she was wearing clothes under the bathrobe, she still put on a coat. Then, she followed Huo Zhiming and left the place.
“Sister Tao, do you think it will work?” Song Yi quietly asked Tao cen under the gazes of the surrounding people.
Whether it would work or not would depend on Jiang SE’s choice. Whether she agreed or not, Tao cen’s mood would probably be affected a little. As long as Jiang SE’s mood was affected, Tao cen would win this round.
Unless she didn’t care about her image, her hair, her endorsement, or the movie that was going to be released.
Tao cen shook his head, thinking that it was impossible.
However, for some reason, when she recalled Jiang SE’s calm expression earlier, she felt that something was off.
When Jiang se left with Huo Zhiming, she glanced at Tao cen. Her gaze seemed to have seen through her little tricks. Tao cen gritted her teeth.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s useful or not.” She clenched her fists and shook her head. She tried to recall the look on Jiang SE’s face that had made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Man proposes, God disposes. It has already been done. We just need to wait for the results.
The set had been cleaned up and was surrounded by the security guards of the ” suspect of crime ” crew. A large number of staff members stood guard so that the fans could not get close to the crew members and interfere with the filming.
But even so, there were still fans and media who refused to leave.
When Jiang se and Huo Zhiming came out, the fans outside the cordon tape immediately stirred. Some of them screamed Jiang SE’s name and waved their arms frantically in an attempt to attract her attention.
Huo Zhiming had seen such a situation countless times since Jiang se joined the crew.
She was a very popular star and was very likable. Not only did her fans like her, but even Huo Zhiming liked her personality.
you’re a good child. You’re famous at a young age, but you still maintain a good quality. She was serious and rigorous when filming and would not let her guard down just because she was famous. It was something to be proud of for her fans to have such an idol.
the two assistants beside me always praise you and admire you when they mention you. Huo Zhiming looked at the young men and women who were calling out Jiang SE’s name from afar. His gaze softened.”I was also a little famous in my early years.” However, in his era of popularity, most of his fans were reserved. At most, they would be very happy if he signed, shook his hand, or took a picture. It was rare to encounter such a passionate lineup. The feeling of being applauded and pursued by flowers was indeed very fascinating.
Jiang se was still waiting for him to get to the point. you’ve been acting for such a long time for the character Su Yi. I’m sure you’ve learned a lot from him. Huo Zhiming glanced at her. She put her hands in the pockets of her coat and listened to him with a smile. She didn’t object to his previous request. He didn’t know if she was waiting for him to patiently persuade her or if she already had other ideas.
from the perspective of Shen xuanran’s character, the person she hated was ‘Wu Chunhe’. She had the intention to kill Wu Chunhe. She had nothing to do with the dead man in the hotel. When Huo Zhiming and Jiang se talked about the plot, they were like old police officers in ” suspect ” analyzing the case with their colleagues.
“The crime scene was destroyed, and the police didn’t find any connection with Su Yi.” In other words, in the plot, Su Yi and the victim’s case in the ventilated hotel were two different things. In order to connect her with the case, other than Shen xuanran, who was played by Tao cen, the most important thing was to rely on the director’s arrangements. He had to use the clues to link all these related events together and make the audience suspicious.
In the plot, Su Yi’s act of shaving off the leg hair had the same intention. However, compared to shaving off the leg hair, the meaning of shaving off one’s hair was obviously more intense.
“Do you think it’s necessary to film this scene like this?” She thought of Tao cen’s triumphant expression and wanted to laugh, but she carefully controlled her laughter.
He was a little angry at Tao cen’s petty schemes, but he also looked down on her for using such underhanded means to suppress others.
The reason why Tao cen had used such a method was because she had a ruler in her heart and had measured him as a person like her. That was why the moment she saw him, she revealed an expression as if she had obtained the magic weapon to win.
However, she was perhaps braver than Tao cen had imagined. She knew the consequences of her actions. She also knew that the assistant beside her might object vehemently. She also knew that Xia Chaoqun’s shampoo endorsement deal might come to naught because of her willful actions.
However, she was a little tempted. She wanted to see Tao cen’s little plan fail when what he thought was impossible became possible, when her courage turned into a determination to risk everything, and when this state of mind could be linked to Su Yi in “suspect “.
Perhaps her performance would be better than what Tao cen had imagined. criminal suspects “might have a clear distinction between its primary and secondary roles in the end, and it would make Tao cen her stepping stone, sending her up the Qingyun stairs.
