512 A slap

The young male assistant was still on the phone.

“She’s Yingluo, who’s going to sign a contract for a new movie.”

The movie that needed to be signed overseas happened to be in the capital of Italy.

Chen Jiao didn’t know what was going on, but Tao cen pursed her lips tightly. She had received news that chessley had been delayed by something and was in Rome, so the shooting of the lost city 2 had been delayed until the middle of the month.

She turned over and sat up. An assistant beside her immediately served her a cold drink and inserted a straw. She took a sip of juice and looked up at the sea in the distance.

“Other than ‘the lost city’, is there any other new movie coming up?”

The moment Tao cen finished speaking, Chen Jiao gasped,

“No, that’s impossible.”

Earlier, Chen Jiao had ridiculed Tao cen for suppressing Jiang se and obtaining the opportunity to work with chessaray. Now, Tao cen was already asking about chessaray’s other filming plans.

“What’s impossible?”

In reality, Tao cen’s heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface. It was just that she had been in this line of work for a long time and was good at hiding her emotions. Her large sunglasses covered half of her palm-sized face. She kicked her feet on the beach twice, causing sand to pass through the gaps between her toes.

Chesare has a good impression of her since she was able to get the fedarer endorsement. He once said in front of the media that he could work with her, “she said, then looked up and smiled.

“What makes you think it’s impossible?”

Even through the sunglasses, Chen Jiao could feel the unhappiness in her eyes. She lowered her head in fear and trepidation.

“Sister Tao, that’s impossible. Think about it, the news released by Borgia and huandao is that they’ve signed a contract with chessaray for the ‘Lost City’ trio. The first two are the type that will be shot in succession and released later, and the last one will only start shooting according to the market response.”

She swallowed her saliva, worried that she would say something wrong and anger Tao cen.

“Under such circumstances, even though there are two movies being shot in a row, the lost city 2 has only started shooting after such a long time. If Chesare were to start shooting a new movie, he won’t have enough time to prepare.”

Let’s not talk about the investment. It was easy for a director like chesaray to get an investment. However, the more famous a director was, the more picky he was about the script. The early preparation of the script and the preparation process of the crew could not be completed in a short time.

In terms of time, Chesare didn’t have the time to prepare for this.

Not long after the completion of the lost city 1, he had been preparing for the shooting of the lost city 2. The shooting time was about 180 days, so he couldn’t make a new movie even if he wanted to.

perhaps it’s just a coincidence that Jiang se signed the contract in Rome, Yingluo.

As Chen Jiao said this, she timidly looked up.

Tao cen did not believe that it was a coincidence. She turned to look at the male assistant who had answered the phone earlier. The male assistant was a little uneasy.

“Zhou Sheng refused to say more.”

Tao cen made a call back to the company to ask. Her questioning was different from her assistant’s inquiry.

She had been famous for many years and had a unique position in century Galaxy. Zhou Sheng, who had been holding back a little before, told Tao cen everything honestly when he was asked.

Jiang se has indeed signed a contract for a movie by chessaray. It’s not ‘the lost city’. It’s another movie,’ God’s redemption’.

Zhou Sheng’s voice rang in Tao cen’s ears. God’s redemption? ”

Tao cen muttered to himself. After hanging up the phone, he threw it away and fell on the beach chair.

“God’s redemption?” When Chen Jiao heard her say this, she quickly said,

“I’ve never heard of any director who wants to film it.”

Tao cen did not want to talk to her anymore. She had never heard of this movie before.

However, she clearly remembered that a few years ago, when Chesare was about to film ” the lost city “, the first actress he thought of recruiting was Jiang se.

Back then, he had made a special trip to China to meet Jiang se in private.

If he had not received the news at that time and accidentally cut off Jiang SE’s role, it would be hard to say who would be shooting the first or second films of ” Lost City “.

After the incident, Jiang se did not say anything. She did not mock him when they met. When she contacted chessaray in private, Chen Jiao was wary that she would steal the role in ” the lost city ” from him. On the other hand, Jiang se contacted chessaray about another movie.

In other words, the friendship between the two of them was enough to support them to talk about private topics that were well-known to everyone. This kind of close relationship was far from comparable to the two Music tickets that Tao cen had gone to great lengths to give.

Tao cen did not know what ” the salvation of God ” was, but she heard something after she joined the crew of ” the lost city “.

The reason why chessaray was willing to take on the role of the ” Lost City ” trio was because of an exchange of interests. He was only getting the investment of another film at the cost of shooting three commercial films.

Was ” God’s salvation, ” which Jiang se had signed a contract with, the movie that Cesare had put in so much effort to film?

On one hand, it was a commercial film that was only shot under the contract, and on the other hand, it was a film that Chesare had been actively preparing. As long as one was not stupid, they would know which was more important.

Tao cen, who had been in a good mood after successfully signing the contract with “the lost city 2 “, was now at a loss for words. Even Jiang SE’s calmness after her role in” the lost city “was snatched away from her made Tao cen feel that she might have other plans.

Back then, she had been complacent and thought that she had obtained the key to entering Europe and America. In Jiang SE’s heart, did she just pick up a dispensable piece of chicken rib?

At the thought of this, Tao cen gritted his teeth.

immediately remove the news that you previously said you contacted Huaxia information.

There was an unspeakable fire in her heart. No matter what methods Chen Jiao used, she couldn’t compare to Xia Chaoqun. She was well-versed in this kind of unorthodox method of supporting the high and stepping on the low.

It would have been fine if her previous thoughts were not true. However, if Jiang se had really signed a contract with the film crew that chessaray had been preparing to shoot, he would definitely value her greatly.

The more Jiang se was ridiculed by Chen Jiao’s news today, the more she would be ridiculed in the future.

“Retreated? “But sister Tao ...” Chen Jiao was a little anxious. She was about to say something when Tao cen threw the glass in her hand away. The juice inside spilled out and landed on her foot. The silk scarf around her waist was wet and stuck firmly to her beautiful legs.

She raised her arm and gave Chen Jiao a heavy slap.

The sound of the waves and the laughter of the crowd covered this crisp sound. Chen Jiao turned her head away, covering her face and trembling.

“Does it hurt?”

Tao cen asked, but Chen Jiao didn’t dare to speak.

...

“I’m asking you, does it hurt?”

She asked again. Chen Jiao put her hand down, and a clear five-fingered mark appeared on her cheek. She took a deep breath and shook her head,

“It doesn’t hurt, Yingluo.”

Before she could finish, Tao cen raised his palm and slapped her again.

Chen Jiao did not dare to Dodge. Tao cen’s slap landed on her face. This time, it was even more powerful than before. After the slap, her palm was burning in pain and had already turned red.

“Does it hurt?”

Her assistants surrounded her and blocked the scene of her beating someone up, afraid that someone would take photos of her secretly.

Tao cen was still asking Chen Jiao the same question, but Chen Jiao didn’t dare to speak, afraid that she would be beaten again if she said something wrong.

She was a manager, but in front of Tao cen, she was not even as good as an assistant or nanny who had been with her for many years.

Although Tao cen’s personality wasn’t exactly warm, and she didn’t really listen to her, she had never been so angry at her before. In fact, Chen Jiao still didn’t understand why she was angry.

“I’m doing this only, only to help you win back the face you lost at that time.”

...

In the early stages, the media had made Tao cen sound too ugly.

They said that her “unexpected incident” was not as good as “demon “. Be it the box office sales or the reviews, some people even compared her to Jiang se. Who was Jiang se to them? In terms of age, experience, and the movies he had filmed, which one of them was as rich as Tao cen’s?

Even if Tao cen dared to claim to be second to the most profitable female star in the company, no one would dare to claim to be first.

However, Jiang se had only managed to film “demon” with Liu Ye by luck. She was also lucky enough to get to know the person-in-charge of the fedarer brand in Imperial. That was how she had gotten the endorsement deal. Earlier, the media had lamented that Tao cen was too inferior to her.

It was for these reasons that Chen Jiao wanted to save her face after Tao cen accepted the role in Lost City 2. She didn’t expect Tao cen to ask her to stop the news.

“Who asked you to make your own decisions? I’m only asking you, does your face hurt?” Tao cen shook her hand. If Chen Jiao still said that it didn’t hurt, she was going to hit her again. Chen Jiao held back her tears. Seeing her raised chin and tightly pursed lips, she steeled her heart and gritted her teeth,

“It hurts.”

“Hmph,” he snorted. Hearing her words, Tao cen bent down and looked into Chen Jiao’s eyes. She was still kneeling on the beach, her face red.

if you’re feeling embarrassed now, when the news that Jiang se signed the contract for chessaray’s script for ‘God’s salvation’ spreads, my face will be even more painful than yours when ‘God’s salvation’ is released in the future! She enunciated each word clearly, ”

as for this slap on my face, it was you who acted on your own accord. You found a reporter from Huaxia information and threw the news at me after it was blown up!

Chen Jiao was dumbfounded. She did not expect Tao cen to say something like that. Jiang se had actually signed a contract with chessaray’s crew. She was a little flustered. When she heard the news, she understood why Tao cen was angry. If the news was true, the news that Huaxia information had released on the internet today would definitely become a laughing stock for Tao cen in the future.

“Earn back my face?” Tao cen took off his sunglasses a little, revealing a pair of eyes that were filled with mockery.

you can’t earn back your reputation like this. Learn from Jiang se and Excel in learning!

When she snatched the role in ” Lost City ” back then, Xia Chaoqun and Jiang se did not say a word about it. Today, she was slapped in the face. It really hurt!

Tao cen touched his cheek and licked the corner of his mouth.

It wasn’t easy to remove the news from Huaxia information, especially since Tao cen was a high-profile female star in the country. She had a lot of fans, and her every move was supported by people.

In particular, many people were very honored by her collaboration with chessaray. Previously, she was in the same company as Jiang se, but her movie box office and advertising endorsements were overshadowed by Jiang SE’s. Her fans had been holding back their anger for a long time. Naturally, they took the opportunity to spread the news.

After Chen Jiao was taught a lesson by Tao cen, it was already too late for her to deal with this matter.

She was still in a terrible fix, and Tao cen’s fans were still dancing in joy!

Yang Lirong was one of Tao cen’s die-hard fans. In her own words, she loved Tao cen so much that she was obsessed with him.

Not long after Tao cen made her debut, she had already paid attention to the newcomer. Over the years, she had watched every one of Tao cen’s movies and accompanied her from a young newcomer to the international scene.

Yang Lirong had also gone from being a student to a professional.

Some time ago, Tao cen and Jiang se had both been nominated for Best Actress at the France Film Festival. When ” demon ” had overshadowed ” unexpected incident “, yang Lirong’s heart ached for Tao cen.

She even left comments on Tao cen’s social media page every day to cheer her on. To show her ‘loyalty’, she did not watch’ demon ‘even once during its screening. Whenever she talked about this with others, yang Lirong would proudly say that even if Jiang SE’s’ demon ‘broke the five billion mark in the global box office, she would not get a single cent from it!

But even so,”the unexpected” still lost out to “the demon” at the box office. Because of this, yang Lirong even cried twice when she mentioned this to her boyfriend in private.

During the France Film Festival, chessaray had praised Jiang se and announced in public that he would not rule out the possibility of working with her in the future. Yang Lirong had even worried for Tao cen and scolded chessaray for his poor taste. Therefore, yang Lirong was the happiest when Tao cen was confirmed to be an actress in ‘the lost city 2’.

When she discovered the news, the first thing she did was to share it with the people around her. She then opened Jiang SE’s official website and was about to post the news to her fans. Tao cen was not as outdated as they had claimed. She was still as popular as ever.

Yang Lirong was very lucky. Jiang SE’s social media account rarely had updates. The moment she opened it, a new message popped up. It was posted at this exact moment.

She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously opened the message.

Jiang SE’s message was neither friendly nor cute. Just like her cold personality, it was simple and straightforward. He was looking forward to reuniting with his old friend!

Under the message was a photo of her and chessley. The two of them were in front of the pantheon temple, smiling at the camera.

Jiang SE’s post caused many people to speculate. Many netizens who had noticed the incident immediately recalled the photo Jiang se had posted with Xia Chaoqun a few months ago.

At that time, she was hugging Xia Chaoqun. Xia Chaoqun held her wrist and looked at the fedarer watch on her hand. When some fans recognized the fedarer brand, they speculated that Jiang se was going to collaborate with them.

However, in the eyes of the Chinese people who knew of the fedarer brand, it was unattainable. It had always favored celebrities who were extremely influential in Europe and the United States and had a high status in the entertainment industry. It had never worked with Chinese celebrities before.

Therefore, the people who had speculated that Jiang se was working with fedarer were just making a casual remark. Many more people had guessed that Jiang se was just riding on fedarer’s popularity.

To their surprise, while the onlookers were still mocking her, fedarer announced that he had signed Jiang se as China’s first spokesperson. This shocked the fashion industry both domestically and overseas, as well as the audience who had come to watch the show.

It also caused those who had seen the photos and ridiculed Jiang se for wanting to work with fedarer to quieten down. They did not dare to speak up again.

What did it mean for Jiang se to release this photo of her and cheabyss?

Many people recalled the France Film Festival. When the local and foreign media had interviewed chesaray, he had said meaningfully that he would not rule out the possibility of working with Jiang se in the future.

Was this a sign that Jiang se was about to collaborate with this famous Italian director?
