509 Chapter 509 friendship

Ever since they had collaborated on “events of Beiping,” Jiang se and Lin xiwen had rarely contacted each other. On the other hand, other than sending her well-wishes during festivals, they rarely had the chance to meet in private.

Everyone was very busy. Lin xiwen had to run her company and film at the same time. As for Jiang se, she had to take care of both her studies and work. Naturally, they slowly drifted apart.

Once the promotional period for “Grand occasion of Beiping” was over, Jiang se would only greet Lin xiwen when she occasionally ran into her at work events. She did not expect Lin xiwen to call her at this time.

Even though she was confused, she still took the phone from mo Anqi, ”

“Director Lin, it’s Jiang se.”

“Sese, I haven’t congratulated you on the great sales of” demon.”The box office has broken a new record.” When Lin xiwen heard Jiang se call out her identity as soon as she picked up the call and spoke in a gentle tone without putting on any airs, there was a hint of a smile in her voice.

she was even shortlisted for the ‘Best Female Lead’ at the ‘France Film Festival’. That’s amazing.

“Thank you for the compliment, director Lin.” Jiang se chuckled and continued to ask, ”

“What’s the matter?”

Lin xiwen had worked with her for a period of time and knew her personality, so she didn’t take her blunt approach to heart. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, ”

“There’s something I need to discuss with you. Do you have time?” When he said this, he was actually worried about whether Jiang se would agree to meet him.

After all, times were different now. Jiang SE’s status was different from when she was filming “events of Beiping. after” demon, “Jiang se had gained a firm foothold with the role of” Zhang Yuqin. she had also worked with Liu Ye before and was now the spokesperson for federor’s watch. She was already one of the top-tier female celebrities in China. Her schedule should be packed.

She might not agree to meet him at the last minute.

Jiang se picked up her schedule and glanced at it. I think so.

When Lin xiwen heard this, her heart that had been in her throat relaxed and she said happily, ”

“Then let’s talk when we meet tomorrow afternoon.”

They agreed to meet at a café near century Galaxy at three O ‘clock the next day. Jiang se hung up the phone after that.

Mo Anqi was a little surprised, ”

“Why would Lin xiwen suddenly call to meet you?”

Xia Chaoqun tidied up the documents on the table and thought for a moment.

“He probably wants you to shoot a movie with him.” She looked at Jiang se. Lin xiwen’s new movie was released a few days ago. I’m sure you’ll have some impression of it.

The corners of Xia Chaoqun’s lips curled up.

“” God Erlang quelled the chaos in the human world.”” Mo Anqi laughed when she spoke. The other staff members could not help but laugh as well.

it’s said that apart from the movie critics, even the audience was criticizing this movie. Feng bushuo even posted on his social media site, saying that Lin xiwen, who produced ‘events of Beiping’, had already died, and that’s why’ God Erlang ‘was such a farce.

Jiang se had been particularly busy recently, so she did not pay much attention to the newly released movies. However, she had an impression of ” Erlang the divine quelling the chaos in the world “.

When Gu Jiaer had introduced her to Lin xiwen’s company, Shangjia, Lin xiwen had given her a choice, and it just so happened to be this movie.

However, Jiang se did not take a fancy to the movie that Lin xiwen had said could give her the female lead role. Besides, the pay for a newcomer was not bad. Instead, she took a fancy to ” the occasion of Beiping, ” which was written by hou Xiling. She gradually became popular with ” the occasion of Beiping. later, she even won her first award in her life for her role as ” doukou ” at the Huaxia Film Festival.

She didn’t expect that ” Erlang the divine pacifying the chaos in the world “, which she had given up at that time, would be delayed for a few years before being released this year.

not only does this movie have a bad reputation, but it’s also not eye-catching at the box office. Lin xiwen has clearly met with a failure. Her usual marketing tactics didn’t show the advantage she should have.

Lin xiwen had chosen a bad time, so the release of ” Erlang the divine pacifying the chaos in the world ” had been delayed again and again. It was originally expected to be released in March this year, but who knew that there would be two good movies in March this year?

One was “unexpected incident “, which was directed by director ning zhanping and Tao cen, while the other was” demon “, which was starred by Jiang se and Liu Ye. Not only did the line-up of the two films attract attention, but they also participated in the French Film Festival. demon “had even won two awards in a row, causing a huge sensation in the country.

Lin xiwen knew what the content of his movie was like at the time. The methods he used wouldn’t work at this time and wouldn’t cause any waves. It was even very likely that he would be caught between the two movies and the box office would be crushed, so he had changed the release date of the movie.

To her surprise, “the demon” was still popular in April due to Jiang SE’s publicity after she returned to the country. In addition, Jiang SE’s endorsement of the fedarer watch had dominated the headlines in the entertainment industry. Therefore, Lin xiwen had no choice but to postpone “Erlang the divine pacifying the chaos in the world” to may’s release date. The result was still too horrible to look at.

when this movie was released,’demon’ ended its screening. but even on the last day before the end of the screening, the box office figures are still not comparable to ‘Erlang the divine quelling the chaos in the world’.

In addition, the more Lin xiwen promoted this movie, the more it was under the banner of “Lin xiwen’s hard work after” the event of Beiping “, so many viewers went to watch “the event of Beiping” for the quality slogan. After watching it, they were naturally very angry, and the angry deceived masses cursed the movie on the internet.

After Xia Chaoqun finished speaking, mo Anqi continued, ”

according to The Movie Database, this movie only scored 21 points. There were a lot of people who cursed it. When she said this, she selected a comment for Jiang se to see. A netizen with the ID ‘big-head fish’ left an indignant comment.

“The film is so bad that it makes one’s hair stand on end. The good impression that Lin xiwen had built up through” Beiping event “is going to be ruined by him. The so-called “Erlang the God quelled the chaos in the world” was so noisy that the audience’s heads hurt. The male lead was no taller than 1.6 meters in his thick-soled boots, and the Xiao Tian Quan was taller than him when he stood up.”

A cup of sour milk: not only is the male lead short, but the plot is also inexplicable. Chang ‘e and the seven fairies all ran after Erlang God. There are also a few extremely limited scenes in the movie. If the movie is graded, a stands for ethics, B stands for violence, C stands for bad film, d stands for emotion_color, and e stands for magic. I think this movie can stand at the peak of a, B, C, and F.

[I’ll say I love you Gently: director, you’ve turned God Erlang into a deformed alien.]

……

When Jiang se saw these comments, she did not know whether to laugh or cry. The comments were filled with curses. They were all shouting,’Lin xiwen should stop filming and retire.’ Many people even left comments in their rage. He no longer believed in Lin xiwen’s movies. They were too lousy and he wouldn’t even watch a new movie.

When Xia Chaoqun saw mo Anqi and the others laughing at the comments, he couldn’t help but comment, ”

“Lin xiwen probably doesn’t care about this movie.” No matter how the netizens scolded this movie, it shouldn’t be a loss.

It was a low-budget production, and almost all of the actors and actresses were newcomers signed by Shangjia company, so the cost was very low. Although the results after the release were not good, the capital should have been preserved, and Lin xiwen might have even made a small profit.

However, the consequences of doing so would be damaging his reputation. The audience might not be willing to buy his next movie.

it’s fine if it’s just an average movie, but ‘God Erlang’ has already affected the stocks of Shangjia company, which they’re investing in, and it’s hard for Lin xiwen to sit still. Xia Chaoqun analyzed the situation. in order to make the audience walk into the theater obediently and pay for his movie again after falling for his trick once, he has to think of a better way.

When Xia Chaoqun said this, Jiang se understood what he meant.

Jiang se was now famous and had a high status. Her acting skills were guaranteed, so Lin xiwen had come to her to put out the fire.

With this “Erlang the God quelling the chaos in the world” as a pre-production, no matter what the theme of his next movie was, it was inevitable that he would be criticized by the audience, and they might not be able to buy it.

In general, celebrities who didn’t have enough status as the main lead were likely to be affected by Lin xiwen’s fame, causing their reputation to decline. If they didn’t do well, they could easily be cursed and become the box office poison, which would affect their future film resources.

However, it would be a different story if a star like Jiang se, who had a high appeal at the box office, was the main lead.

Ever since Jiang se had started acting, the quality of every movie she had acted in was very high. Her reputation and box office sales were also good.

Even the performance of the few movies that she had played minor roles in back then was remarkable. about I love you, “which had played the leading role for the first time, had also achieved very good results. After” the demon, “Jiang se might have been the well-deserved Queen of the box office in the hearts of the majority of the Chinese audience. In fact, the box office of a single movie had even surpassed Tao cen’s.

Jiang se could help Lin xiwen recover the reputation she had lost. However, the risk was not small. If the quality of the film was too poor, it was very likely that Jiang se would be implicated.

The audience’s current expectations of her were very high, and the better the box office was, the more harsh they would be on her later.

“His performance is not very stable. As for the specific situation, you can consider it after you meet him tomorrow.”

At this point, Xia Chaoqun looked at the time and said, ” I still have a meeting at the company later. I’ll pick out a few scripts from the company for you. You can make your own choice.

As soon as she got up, her assistant, Zhang Chi, and the others also packed their things and prepared to go back.

That night, Jiang se had searched for Lin xiwen’s new movies. He had a few other movies after ” the occasion of Beiping, ” but none of them could match up to ” the occasion of Beiping. the box office sales were even worse.

Many people even said that they’d rather watch ” events of Beiping ” ten times over than watch Lin xiwen’s new film.

Especially ” God Erlang “, it was the worst reputation Lin xiwen had ever had in her career as a director. The box office was also getting worse and worse. No wonder he called her for help.

When she met Lin xiwen, Jiang se rejected mo Anqi’s request to go with her.

When Jiang se arrived at the café next to century Galaxy in the imperial capital, the waiter who had opened the door for her opened it and said with a sweet smile, ”

Before she could finish her sentence, the baby-faced girl raised her head and saw that it was Jiang se. She screamed, ” ah! Jiang se!!!

In the afternoon, there were not many people in the coffee shop. Soothing light music was playing inside. The relaxed guests were enjoying the cold air, drinking coffee, and smelling the sweet smell of pastries. When they were relaxed, the scream of the waiter woke many people up.

The people in the café heard her and looked up.

Jiang se was wearing a black, one-line knitted top with a tight skirt and black stiletto heels. Her figure was graceful and lithe, and she instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

The girl’s shriek attracted Jiang SE’s attention. Lin xiwen stood up from a distance and waved at her. Jiang se smiled and said, ”

“I have a friend inside.”

“Sese, I like you so much. You’re so tall and so thin, and your legs are longer than they look on TV.” The girl’s eyes sparkled as she fired off a series of questions.

“Your voice is so nice too, and your skin is so good. Why is it so beautiful? I only came here to work because I knew you were from century Galaxy. I wanted to meet you. I’ve been working for half a year and this is the first time I’ve seen you.” She was so excited that her face was red. The manager of the café was also startled by her voice. He walked out awkwardly and pulled her away. He even kept bowing apologetically to Jiang se.

Jiang se chuckled wryly. When she saw the girl being taken away unwillingly, she heaved a sigh of relief and walked toward Lin xiwen. It seemed like he had been there for a while. He had flipped through most of the magazine in his hand. When he saw Jiang se, he closed it and put it back on the shelf.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.” Jiang se sat down. Lin xiwen shook his head.

“It’s me who came too early,”

The two of them agreed to meet at three O ‘clock. Jiang se was already 15 minutes earlier than the agreed time. This was her personality. Before she became an adult, she had maintained the habit of arriving early. Even after she became famous, she still maintained her good quality of being punctual. Undoubtedly, Lin xiwen liked her even more.

He gestured for the waiter to order Jiang SE’s order. This time, it was a young boy. Although he did not shout as loudly as the girl did, when he came to Jiang SE’s side, his face was still red and his hands were still shaking. From time to time, he would secretly look up at Jiang se, and his face would turn redder with each glance.

After Jiang se had finished ordering, he was still reluctant to leave. He only left with a disappointed expression when Lin xiwen looked at him a few times.

“Why isn’t your assistant here?”

Lin xiwen had taken in the earlier drama and was well aware of Jiang SE’s current popularity. He casually started the conversation with a few words, and Jiang se gave him a meaningful look.

I’m meeting a friend, not for work. There’s no need to bring my assistant along.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin xiwen couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, ”

you’re still the same. Sometimes you make people like you, and sometimes you make people gnash their teeth.

There was a briefcase next to his seat. However, Lin xiwen did not have the intention to open it immediately. Instead, he began to chat with Jiang se.

the best decision I’ve ever made in my life wasn’t to set up Shang Jia company or to make a lot of money. It was to spend years looking for Mr. Hou Xiling and writing the script for ‘events of Beiping.’ I believe in Mr. Hou’s judgment. He chose you as the ‘young girl’ in ‘events of Beiping.’
