640 Chapter 640-while it’s hot

The award ceremony for ‘centuries-old filmmaker’ officially came to an end after the ‘best film’ award was taken away by ‘the salvation of God.’ The host was already preparing his closing speech amidst the cheers on the stage.

The door of the sacred auditorium was already open. The staff arranged for the guests to leave, and the invited audience and fans left one after another. The reporters and media were led to another Hall. After a 30-minute break, there would be an hour of interview time. After that, it would be the charity gala held by ‘century of filmmakers’ this year with the theme of ‘equality and freedom’.

Tonight’s “God’s salvation” was undoubtedly the biggest winner. As Jiang se, who had received a lot of attention even before the movie was aired, she had undoubtedly become the focus of everyone’s attention after tonight’s movie won the award. Xia Chaoqun had already received more than ten invitations to parties on Jiang SE’s behalf.

Among these invitations, there were some that could not be rejected. Since “the salvation of God” had just won the best film Award of a century, Jiang se might be able to get more job opportunities.

During the break, Jiang se and the others returned to the small lounge that the General Assembly had temporarily arranged for her to change into her dress and shoes. Time was rather tight, but fortunately, it was only an interview and a banquet later on. She did not need to dress as grandly as she did for the closing ceremony, so it was much easier for her to dress up.

Jiang se changed into her gown. The stylist blew her hair dry and styled her hair. Xia Chaoqun then briefed her on the upcoming work.

after ‘century-old filmmaker’s’ charity gala, I’ve accepted two invitations for you. Mo Anqi will be accompanying you. I’ve already prepared the names of the people who will appear at the two parties. The information is with Anqi as well. She’ll give it to you later.

While Jiang se was attending the closing ceremony of ‘century-old filmmaker’, Xia Chaoqun did not idle around.

Other than deciding Jiang SE’s schedule, interviewing her, and getting her hands on the magazine photoshoot, she had also asked around about the organizers and participants of some of the more influential banquets that would be held after the banquet. The list of participants had been drawn up a long time ago. The important people had been highlighted, and she had also arranged for someone to record down some simple information.

Therefore, after ” God’s salvation ” won the grand prize, Xia Chaoqun was able to decide on two galas for Jiang se to attend in such a short period of time due to the numerous invitations.

sister Chaoqun is leaving United States? ”

Jiang se could tell what Xia Chaoqun was implying and asked.

Xia Chaoqun nodded. He was assured because of Jiang SE’s ability to react at the last minute. All he needed to do was to pave the way for Jiang se and leave the rest to her.

the news that ‘the salvation of God’ won an award has spread. I’ve booked a flight to Paris tonight and made an agreement with Melovin.

The pre-publicity for ‘the salvation of God’ was already in place. Now that it had the recognition of the ‘centuries-old filmmaker’, even if the movie had not been released and the box office was unknown, the future box office trend could already be vaguely seen.

At this time, the contract between Jiang se and Melovin should be in the bag. Xia Chaoqun had already discussed the details of the collaboration with Melovin. At that time, they had only undecided on Melovin’s haute couture series. However, after Jiang SE’s stunning appearance in Melovin’s haute couture gown tonight, not only did she cause a lot of discussion in the country, but there were also many people who commented on her from abroad. With such statistics and film reviews, she was already qualified to be the spokesperson for Melovin’s haute couture gown.

with the award you’ve won tonight, not only will you be the spokesperson for Melovin in China, you might even be able to become a global spokesperson.

She wouldn’t be back in a short time.

yes, ” Jiang se replied. don’t worry. She and Xia Chaoqun looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with trust in each other.

Xia Chaoqun believed that she would be able to follow his plan and that nothing would go wrong. Jiang se also believed that her trip to France this time would help her secure a contract with Melovin.

“What time is the flight?” The two of them smiled knowingly. Jiang se asked, ” “Let Chen Shan send you.”

Xia Chaoqun shook his head. He watched as the staff from Hong Kong jewelry helped Jiang se change into a new pair of triangular diamond earrings. Together with her slightly permed ‘v’- shaped hair, she looked lively and playful.

“No need, she’ll be by your side.” She paused for a moment before continuing,

“Sese, congratulations.” Her belated congratulatory words were not filled with joy, nor did she use any fancy words, but it was more sincere.

Jiang se gestured for Liu Lizhi, who was helping her change her clothes, to stop. She turned her chair around and immediately wrapped her arm around Xia Chaoqun’s waist. thank you.

This was not the first time she had been so close to Xia Chaoqun. However, compared to the first time when she had hugged him, Xia Chaoqun’s body only stiffened for a moment. In the end, he patted her on the shoulder. The two of them had worked together for many years and were very familiar with each other’s personalities. It was fine if they didn’t talk about certain things.

In the past, Xia Chaoqun’s definition of a business partner was very clear. They would come if they agreed, and leave if they didn’t.

After working with Tao cen for many years, they had always strictly adhered to their own duties. There seemed to be a clear line drawn between them. Other than work, they had no interaction in their private lives.

Therefore, when she felt that it was not suitable for her to continue working with Tao cen, she did not hesitate to leave. She did not drag things out, had no personal feelings, and did not feel any loss or pity.

However, after being with Jiang se for so many years, he had a vague feeling that they had developed a friendship outside of work. Xia Chaoqun had never thought of this possibility before, but now that he thought about it, he did not reject it.

Apart from working partners, there was more trust between friends and more intimacy. It did not seem like Xia Chaoqun had thought that personal feelings would affect work. She accepted the hug as a matter of course, and it was the perfect ending to this trip to United States.

Both of them had a tight schedule. When Jiang se was done packing up for the meeting with the reporters, Xia Chaoqun was already in the car heading to the airport.

The set of interviews was set up in the room next to the sacred Great Hall. The members of the 30 film crews who had been promoted to ‘centuries-old filmmaker’ would be interviewed. However, due to the different fame and status of the directors and actors, the interview time would also be different.

This time, the film that was nominated and won an award in the ‘century-old filmmakers’ competition obviously had more advantages than the other films that had not been selected. As the crew of ‘the salvation of God’ had won the most prestigious award, the interview time was arranged to be the last, and the interview time was twice as long as that of the other films.

The focus of the interview was on chessaray and Jiang se. Chessaray was only in his early forties and was at the age where men were the most charming. With ” God’s salvation “, he had entered the world of directors. From then on, it could be said that his career had taken a new step forward.

As for Jiang se, she was like a mountain of treasure to the media. Her fame was worth digging into more than Chesare’s.

Borgia and huandao had invested 200 million US dollars in ” God’s salvation “. They had brashly used a Chinese female star who had no influence overseas despite the pressure. In the end, they had even created such a miracle. Jiang se had become the first Chinese female star to leave a record on ‘centuries-old filmmaker’ and became famous all over the world.

“Miss Jiang, what prompted you to cooperate with chessaray?”

miss Jiang, what do you think of the resistance that fans around the world had towards you acting in ‘the salvation of God’ before tonight? ”

now that ‘the salvation of God’ has won the best film Award, the audience will be even more critical of your next film. Will you feel any pressure when you film and act in your next film? ”

“......”

Questions like these kept coming. Some of them even asked questions about the filming of “the salvation of God “, such as her grudges with Laura, her cooperation with chessaray and Donald, and so on. Jiang se answered them all with a smile.

Her English was quite good, so many people were confident in her speech at the closing ceremony.

However, it was only after they actually interviewed her that they felt her ability to speak.

As for the various questions raised by the reporters about film shooting, some of which involved film jargon, she was also at ease and did not need to translate them.

At the same time, when facing reporters from all over the world, she would occasionally greet them in their mother tongue. Some of the harsh questions were also avoided by her in a very easy way.

Perhaps no one had high hopes for her to perform well in the first place, so Jiang SE’s outstanding performance had won the favor of most of the reporters. She was the star of the interview that night, and most of the reporters ‘cameras captured her smiling figure.

The short 20-minute interview ended. The reporters had to attend the thank-you banquet held by the investors of ” the salvation of God ” later. Jiang SE’s performance tonight and the huge amount of money the film company had invested in the publicity were enough to guarantee that Jiang se would usher in a new era in her career after the movie was released.

Centuries-old filmmaker’s charity banquet was held in the hall next door. Jiang se walked behind him and took a deep breath. The surrounding lights and applause still made her feel surreal.

She deliberately fell behind the crowd. The people in front walked away, and the remaining people gradually became quiet.

One side of the aisle was made of glass. From here, one could see the night view outside the sacred auditorium.

From Jiang SE’s angle, she could see a huge square. A rather eye-catching Christmas tree stood in front of the square. Tourists could not help but stop in front of the beautiful tree. Some of them even took a photo with it.

Even though they were separated by a glass window and she could not hear the commotion outside, Jiang se seemed to be able to feel the cheerful atmosphere.

...

Tonight, many movie fans were distributing support items to passers-by, and some people were holding up light signs with the names of the directors and actors they supported.

The starry lights embellished the night, making it seem quiet and gentle. After night fell, it began to snow outside, but the hall was extremely warm.

She stood in front of the glass. Mo Anqi and the others did not rush her, but gave her some time to calm down.

“It’s almost Christmas,”

Donald’s voice jolted Jiang se out of her daze. She turned around and saw that The Quiet Gentleman was also looking at the scenery outside the window. Jiang se was a little surprised.

“Yes, I am.”

No one knew when Donald had arrived. He had his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face. Compared to the interview earlier, he looked more real, as if he had taken off a mask.

my family is going to France for a vacation, but I can’t go with them because of work.

He spread out his hands and looked a little regretful. Jiang se was first amused by him and laughed, but then she could not laugh anymore.

She thought of herself. She was busy with work but neglected to spend time with her family, especially during the holidays. It was inevitable that she would feel a little regretful.

At this time, she had won the grand prize. Although she was excited to receive applause and blessings from others, she felt a little lonely without PEI Yi’s company. Even the joy of winning the grand prize was mixed with a little disappointment.

...

Donald must have understood what she was feeling, so he had come over to say this.

He revealed a comforting smile, and his impression of this young business partner deepened.

“Jiang, you’re a mystery.” With one hand in his pocket, he raised the other and made a gesture.

When she was acting, she did her best to fight for opportunities and showed her ambition.

When it was time to advance, she would never retreat. However, when she found out that the opportunity for her to get Lannie in God’s salvation might not be because of friendship or hard work, but because of other things mixed in, she did not feel embarrassed after realizing the truth. Instead, she continued to talk to chessaray intimately, as if their friendship had never been affected by external factors.

All of this made Donald very curious.

He had a daughter who was about the same age as Jiang se. She was beautiful, outstanding, and extremely confident.

Perhaps his daughter would think that their friendship was not pure and that such a decision was a denial of her ability.

Donald was not supposed to talk about this with Jiang se. However, perhaps it was because her outstanding performance had won her smiles and praise from the audience, but her behavior of enjoying the quiet night scene after the interview reminded him of his family. Donald could not help but ask this question out of curiosity.

He initially thought that Jiang se would not answer him. However, after she heard his question, she thought about it carefully for a while before she answered him seriously, ”

“Because an adult’s friendship isn’t as reckless as when they were young. I believe that there will be pure and selfless friendship, but the foundation of that is built on equal and long-term contact between the two sides. Only then will deep feelings be formed.”

She had not known Chesare for long enough, and their status was not equal before they worked on God’s redemption. A temporary interest could not support the development of friendship. It was just a bud of friendship.

If he wanted to become an old friend with a deep friendship, he would need a long time to prove it.

Chesare was not an easy friend to make. In fact, Jiang se was not either.

Very soon, someone came over and interrupted their conversation. After the charity banquet, Jiang se followed Xia Chaoqun’s instructions and attended the remaining two parties. She then officially announced her entry into the North American film industry.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When she returned to the hotel, it was almost three in the morning. Jiang se felt so tired that she almost lost consciousness.

She was wearing high heels, but she held on for nearly 15 hours.
