195 Chapter 195-snatching the corner

“I don’t think I need to explain the benefits of taking on Zhao rang’s new film. You should understand.”

Xia Chaoqun massaged the space between his brows. She had not had a good rest for the past few days. Tao cen’s scenes in Spain had just been completed. She had only returned to Hong Kong yesterday and had not even stayed for a day before she arranged a new job for Jiang se. She had also rushed back to the capital today.

“Because of what happened between you and Zhu pan, Zhao rang’s ‘the 99th love letter’ ended up with a bad start and a bad end at the box office,”

!!
On the whole, Zhao rang’s ” the 99th love letter ” did well at the box office, and the investors did not suffer any losses. In fact, they even made a slight profit, which was considered a small profit.

However, due to ” the 99th love letter “‘s huge momentum in the early stages, the box office sales in the later stages would inevitably become the laughingstock of the industry. This made Zhao rang feel stifled.

Regardless of whether Zhu pan was the one who started this, Jiang se was at a disadvantage now that she was involved.

When some people in the industry mentioned Jiang se, they would easily associate her with Zhao rang’s ” the 99th love letter “‘s box office losses in the later stages of the movie. The withdrawal of funds from Hua Investment Group was the best example.

Even though Dong Mingsheng’s last-minute decision to invest in the production team of ” events of Beiping ” was due to other reasons, when he mentioned Jiang SE’s excuse, it would still become a topic of discussion for the reporters to create hype.

“Get up from where you fell.”

In reality, Xia Chaoqun had put in a lot of effort to secure the role of the female lead in Zhao rang’s new film, century Galaxy. Zhao rang had been preparing for this film for two years when ” the 99th love letter ” was being filmed. The original female lead had already been decided. More than half a month ago, the production team had even rushed to xihang to set up the film set to help Jiang se secure the role. Other than Xia Chaoqun using some tricks, Zhao rang himself had a rather good impression of Jiang se.

“Zhao rang really admires you. He said that you did well in ‘the 99th love letter’ and that you could endure hardships.”

It was precisely because of the favorable impression that Jiang se had left on Zhao rang that he did not vent his anger on her for ” the 99th love letter “‘s box office failure.

Xia Chaoqun wiped his face. His assistant had brought her the coffee she wanted. She took two sips and put the cup down.

this time, you can put down the previous three scripts for the time being. In the future,’demon’ might be taken over by Zhao rang. If you work with him first and get to know each other’s personalities and styles, it might be better for you.

Her words revealed that ” demon ” should not have had a director in the first place, but now, Xia Chaoqun’s words implied that Zhao rang would take up the role in the future. This should be the so-called Resource Exchange in the industry.

Since Xia Chaoqun had already said so much, and Jiang se had almost finished reading ” about I love you, ” the script was different from traditional romance movies. It was about finding another path to dissect love, so it was considered a new and original idea.

Moreover, Zhou Wei’s role was rather challenging. Jiang se thought about how she was not fully confident about ‘demon’ at the moment. It would be good for her to delay the filming. She nodded and accepted the movie.

“Roughly when will the shooting start?”

“We’re short on time,”

Before Xia Chaoqun returned to the imperial capital, he had clearly already made arrangements.

“But I’ve already communicated with Zhao rang in advance. He’ll shoot other scenes first and leave your plot empty. After you’re done shooting ‘events of Beiping,’ he’ll head to xihang.”

This time, ” about I love you ” was mostly shot in Western hang. The film was going to participate in the Huaxia International Film Festival in December this year. It was obvious that Zhao rang intended to win an award with this film.

The Huaxia International Film Festival was established 40 years ago and was the most authoritative award in the country. It was held every three years and was more glorious and valuable than the hundred Flowers Art Awards.

In ” rescue mission ” directed by Zhang Jingan, which Jiang se had first starred in, Liu Ye, who played the male lead, had won the Best Actor award at the Huaxia International Film Festival. He had instantly become one of the top A-list male stars in the country and enjoyed an extraordinary status.

The requirements to participate in the Huaxia International Film Festival were not simple. First of all, the director had to have previous works that had a total box office of not less than 500 million Yuan and had a cumulative audience of more than ten million people. Only then could they be qualified to apply.

“I’ve asked Lin xiwen. Your filming for” the event of Beiping “will probably be completed before March. Later, you’ll apply for a two-month leave from the school and rush to xihang. You’ll have to read the script in the middle and prepare yourself.” As Xia Chaoqun spoke up to this point, he instructed his assistant to bring over the contract that he had prepared.

as for the remuneration, the company has already settled on 1.5 million Yuan.

Jiang se was not an A-list female star yet. She was not very famous either. This price was not considered high compared to other celebrities. However, it was already beyond Jiang SE’s expectations when compared to the remuneration she had received from the previous movies she had acted in.

Before she could say anything, Xia Chaoqun continued, ”

however, out of this 1.5 million, the company will get 60%. The rest will be yours. Xia Chaoqun put on a fake smile and pointed at the figure in the contract.

as for the remaining 600000, mo Anqi, Liu Lizhi, and Dora’s salaries have been paid by the company. You’ll only get your real income after you’ve paid for your rental and other expenses.

Jiang SE’s heart sank. Xia Chaoqun continued, ”

after this movie, once the other movies that you’re involved in are released, mo Anqi won’t be enough for you. You’ll also need to hire more staff and other expenses.

She reached out and knocked on the table, ”

also, your pay was after-tax in the past, but it’s before-tax now. This involves the issue of tax.

In other words, other than the expenses that Xia Chaoqun had mentioned, Jiang se still needed a lawyer and people who were experts in finance and taxation to help her manage her income.

Jiang se suddenly felt a headache coming on. She clutched the script in her hand and did not say anything.

When Xia Chaoqun’s assistant, Zhang Chi, brought the contract over, Jiang se signed it. Her initial joy of earning 1.5 million Yuan with her own abilities had faded. Xia Chaoqun had someone pack up the contract. Jiang se could not help but ask, ”

sister Chaoqun, since the filming of ‘about I love you’ is so rushed and director Zhao has already reserved the female lead, how did the company suddenly get this role? ”

The contract had already been signed. Once the matter was settled, Xia Chaoqun was in a rare mood to chat. Once Jiang se finished her question, Xia Chaoqun said, ”

“Jiang-Nan entertainment is also interested in getting in touch with about I love you this time.” She raised her brows. This was the second time she had snatched Feng Nan’s resources. I realized that Zhao junhan has good taste too. He’s good at both dramas. Feng Nan has the intention to take on the role of Zhou Weiyi in ‘love’.

She said with a smile, ”

“You have to act well and let her become your stepping stone. Don’t be stepped on by others.”
