329 The Eight Immortals
Feng Nanâs first reaction was the same as that of Tao cenâs manager, Chen Jiao. He must not let this matter leak out. If Jiang se were to get in touch with chessaray, her reputation in the country would rise again and again. He had to suppress her.
Chessaray maintained his impeccable dining etiquette. He was not very familiar with Chinese chopsticks, and occasionally used a knife and fork.
in many peopleâs eyes, Matthewâs novel doesnât sell well. Even until now, it hasnât been reprinted many times.
He forked a piece of meat. I wanted to put it on the screen and let more people see it, but now the plan has been put on hold again and again.
itâs not because sheâs not good enough. Itâs because you like her too much, so youâre more careful. Jiang se answered chessarayâs question, which made him laugh.
âThatâs just one of the reasons.â
His eyes flashed with joy. He put down his fork and knife and raised one hand.
but I like what youâre saying. It makes me feel very comfortable.
in fact, the real reason is not only because sheâs worthy of my attention, but also because of the investment.
Chessaray sighed, and the smile on his face faded.
Jiang se frowned. Chessaray was still young. He was in his thirties, but he was already a young director who had received a lot of recognition in the film industry. He was very well-known internationally. As long as he put forward his ideas, there would be many people willing to invest in him.
She had memorized Chesareâs information and knew some of his achievements. Many famous Hollywood stars should be happy to work with him.
But now, chessaray was saying that he didnât film his favorite âthe prisonerâ because of the investment.
Jiang SEâs sharp senses told her that it was not just a normal investment. Chessaray must have certain requirements for these investments.
As for this request, Jiang se guessed that, based on how much chessaray valued and liked â the prisoner, â he would probably hope to obtain more authority for the filming.
Jiang se had yet to come into contact with the foreign film industry, but she had a rough understanding of it. The role of a director on a set was to give the story an artistic depth.
However, with the intervention of investors and producers, if the director was not strong enough, it was very likely that the final direction of the story would deviate from the directorâs imagination and be based on the preferences of the market and audience.
Today, Hollywoodâs film industry had matured. A large number of investors could invest in many movies at the same time. If one movie lost money, they could make up for the losses in other movies. Under such circumstances, commercial blockbusters were produced frequently, but there were not many movies that were really deep.
Since Chesare liked â the prisoner â, he naturally did not want it to become a commercial film. In the case that the original work did not have a large number of fans as a Foundation, if he wanted to follow the original work and make the original â the prisoner â, how could the producer invest in it?
This was probably the real reason why â the prisoner â had not been filmed yet.
As chessaray had said, it was not because the film was not good enough, nor because his reputation was not good enough, and not because he liked it very much. It was because his ideas were likely to conflict with the market.
It was a very difficult task to make a movie that the audience liked and he was satisfied with.
âThis isnât a simple matter.â
Jiang se wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin. Cesare was young and wealthy, but it was clearly unrealistic for him to invest in a movie all by himself.
This was especially true for a novel like â the prisoner â that was filled with fantasy. The hiring of actors, the post-production team, and the production of special effects all required money. Jiang se gave it some thought and came up with a suggestion.
however, if you have high expectations for this movie, you can invest in it first. After shooting a part of it, you can take out a loan from the bank.
Chessaray laughed again. He picked up the glass beside him and raised it toward Jiang se. He clinked his glass.
your suggestion is very good. Iâve also considered it.
He had just mentioned this, but Jiang se could already guess what he was trying to say. This obviously put Chesare in a good mood. He took a sip of the wine in his glass.
but in the end, I still managed to convince borgil and loop Island Company.
He swirled the glass, and the transparent liquid rippled in the crystal glass. The air was filled with the faint aroma of wine.
âThe people from borgilâs company wanted to invest in an adventure series three years ago, and they came to me.â He leaned back in his chair and smiled. I agreed to take charge of this movie series, and they invested in my âthe prisonerâ.
This was a condition in exchange. He had gotten ring Island Company to invest in his â the prisoner â on the condition that he would shoot a commercial film. There must have been a series of negotiations, but chessaray did not go into detail.
When he said this, chessaray paused for a moment. He put his glass down and looked at Jiang se. Finally, he revealed his main purpose for this trip to China.
âJiang, I remember youâre a history student?â
âYes, I am.â
When Jiang se heard him mention borjil and circling Island, she already had an idea. She recalled Xia Chaoqunâs reminder and guessed chessarayâs intention.
At this moment, Jiang SEâs heart was beating faster. The blood in her body was boiling. She could guess that the opportunity Xia Chaoqun had mentioned was coming.
However, she remained calm and did not show any signs of losing her composure.
Iâve read the script of this adventure movie, and one of the characters suits your image very well. Are you interested in learning more? â
Chessaray laughed and extended his hand to Jiang se.
He seemed to be very confident that Jiang se would not reject him. Indeed, Jiang se had no reason to reject him. She did not even ask what kind of role chessaray had prepared for her. She extended her hand.
âOf course!â
The two of them shook hands.
After confirming Jiang SEâs attitude, chessaray immediately stopped talking about irrelevant topics.
âthe lost cityâ is mainly about exploration, and one of the characters is a female history graduate. Iâve seen your performance in âevent of Beipingâ, and itâs very Chinese.
With his elbows on the table and his hand clenched into a fist, he described the female characters needed for â the lost city â in a few words.
Based on what he said, Jiang se could roughly guess what he wanted to feel. The character was a history major, so he should be quite knowledgeable about history. At the same time, since it was an adventure film, there would be a lot of action scenes.
Judging from the title of the movie, Jiang se even guessed that the character should have some knowledge of archeology. At the same time, chessaray mentioned â events of Beiping â and explained that Jiang SEâs performance in the movie had Chinese characteristics. This also proved that the character he wanted had to have a certain level of historical and archeology knowledge, as well as the unique style of an Eastern woman. Her dressing would be based on Chinese traditions.
A rough image appeared in her mind.
