289 Crazy

After all, not every director was Zhang Jingan, and not every movie was rescue mission.

It would be fine if ‘demon’ received a good response, but yang Bosi didn’t even dare to think about the consequences if it failed.

He had waited for many years for the opportunity to cooperate with Zhang Jingan. Now, he was carrying out a huge bet. It would be fine if he won, but if he lost, he would really be back to square one.

Liu Ye was really too willful!

Yang Boxi’s expression did not look too good, but Liu Ye did not seem to care about his concerns at all. He discussed the plot and the characters with Jiang se.

He was not an easy person to get close to. In the words of his fans, he was a little aloof. Jiang se had seen him before on the set of “rescue mission “. He was a man of few words. When he came with Zhang Jingan, he had just sat there casually.

However, Liu Ye became talkative when it came to the script that he was interested in.

To his surprise, Jiang se had studied the script very thoroughly. She had a deep understanding of the character Zhang Yuqin in the film. Other than that, she had her own unique views on certain aspects. She had also studied the characters of ZhuZhu, who had died not long after she appeared in the film, and Zhang Yuqin’s original husband.

He had barely mentioned a few details of the plot, and she had already answered them.

It was precisely because of her understanding of the script and the characters in the drama that when she played Zhang Yuqin earlier, she gave people the feeling that she was not acting, but really presenting a woman who was so desperate that no one could save her.

Liu Ye was even more interested.

Occasionally, Zhao rang would also join in the conversation, and they had a good time. Half an hour had passed before they knew it. Yang Bosi looked at the time on his watch and smiled bitterly.

“It seems that I can also decline the next thing.”

Liu Ye had only given Jiang se half an hour. However, judging from the current situation, an hour might not even be enough time for the conversation.

Yang Boxi looked at Xia Chaoqun, who was still standing by the table. She had her arms crossed in front of her chest, looking calm and composed. Even after waiting for a long time, she was still unflustered, as if nothing could make her lose her composure.

“Chaoqun, I’ll get someone to send some drinks over. What would you like to drink?”

Yang Boxi was a little older than Xia Chaoqun. Both of them were top managers in the industry and had spent a lot of time interacting with each other. They were familiar with each other, so Xia Chaoqun didn’t stand on ceremony with him and asked for a cup of coffee. Yang Boxi made a gesture, and his assistant, who was sitting in the office, stood up and left.

The two of them stood at the desk and chatted. They were seven or eight meters away from the other end of the sofa. Therefore, their conversation did not affect Jiang se and the others who were chatting about the plot. Yang Boxi glanced at Liu Ye and sighed.

“How’s your work in Italy with Tao cen?”

Tao cen was the first to enter Europe and the United States, but it wasn’t very smooth. Xia Chaoqun was still in the pioneering stage. She spent very little time in the country in a year and spent most of her time overseas for Tao cen.

In reality, yang Boxi was very surprised that a busy man like Xia Chaoqun would put aside his work for the time being and take on a newcomer like Jiang se. However, out of courtesy, he did not ask.

“It’s alright.”

Xia Chaoqun nodded, his words concise and to the point.

“I’m going to hand over Tao cen’s work to someone else.”

Her words almost made yang Boxi choke on his own saliva. He raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and stared at Xia Chaoqun with widened eyes.

“Change Manager?”

Xia Chaoqun let out a sound of acknowledgment. He could not help but exclaim,

“Why?”

He was so surprised that his voice became louder. Even Liu Ye and the others, who were chatting happily, turned their heads when they heard him.

Yang Bosi laughed dryly and made an apologetic gesture. He lowered his voice and said in disbelief, ”

“Why?”

He asked again, clearly really surprised.

After all, everyone in the circle knew that Xia Chaoqun had a hand in Tao cen’s current achievements. If Tao cen was a tree now, then Xia Chaoqun was the person who had planted the seed. He had taken care of her all the way and watched her grow healthily. It was not easy for her to bear fruit, but she wanted to give Tao cen away. Wasn’t she giving away the fruit that she had painstakingly cultivated to someone else?

“I’m going to shift the focus of my work to Sese.” Xia Chaoqun placed his hands on the table and flipped his hair.

“I don’t like to do two things at once. After trying for a while, I think I’m more suited to focus.”

She spoke in a cool and crisp manner, but yang Bosi’s mouth was wide open and he was speechless.

Putting aside the honor and glory, Jiang se could not compare to Tao cen in terms of actual income.

Tao cen had a strong ability to attract money and had many endorsements. She had two movies released every year and frequently attended some events. With her value and status, not only did she earn at least hundreds of millions from each movie, but she might also get a share of the box office and so on. Most of the time, she was invited by producers with scripts.

Just based on these, a conservative estimate of Tao cen’s annual income was above 700 to 800 million. As her manager, Xia Chaoqun’s share of the income was no less than that of an A-list celebrity.

So much money, why was she pushing it away?

Yang Boxi was a little worried for her when he saw how calm she was.

Chaoqun, you’ve always been calm. You should know what Tao cen means now. If you give up on her and choose a newcomer, you’ll suffer a great loss.

Although Jiang se was a little famous now, she could not be compared to Tao cen. from what I know, she only took on two endorsements after she signed under you, right? It’s just a Diamond Series from Hong Kong and a niche Italian brand.”

Other than that, she had almost no other endorsements.

“It’s from the cowboy series from Adele.”

Xia Chaoqun reminded him. He pounded his chest and stomped his feet.

“This brand is new, and Jiang se was a newbie when she signed the contract. The endorsement fee can’t be compared to the big brands. In terms of movies, so far, excluding “demon,” she has only accepted “about I love you” from Zhao rang, right?”

At the same time, she wasn’t very famous when she took on the role, so it was obvious that the pay was very low. To Xia Chaoqun, this bit of share might not even be enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

“Yes,”

The corners of Xia Chaoqun’s lips curled up, revealing a faint smile.

“She doesn’t have a high income, and she’s still in debt.”

She recalled Jiang SE’s helpless expression when she asked her if she had a job after she learned about her current financial situation. Jiang SE’s smile deepened, and her eyes were filled with joy.

Yang Boxi thought she was crazy. She knew that she had suffered a great loss, but she could still laugh.
