Chapter 185
Jiang Qiao walked out and told Yang Hua roughly what happened. Yang Hua got angry and said, "I'll go ask."
"No, since they already have a better candidate, I can't force them to use me."
Cooperation is something that is mutually agreed upon. You can't get angry and embarrassed just because someone changes their mind at the last minute. If the news gets out, people will think that she has no more movies to shoot.
Jiang Qiao knew that it was useless for Yang Hua to look for him. The attitude of the director team was very clear. He just didn't know why the attitude suddenly changed.
It couldn't be that he was just teasing her, right? That was too childish. No one who could make it in the entertainment industry would do something that was purely offensive.
Then it can only be that someone did something wrong. Jiang Qiao thought about what happened recently and understood. He asked, "Brother Yang, do you know who is behind Chen Ze?"
Yang Hua was a little confused, but answered honestly: "I'm not sure, but I should be able to find out. Why are you asking this?"
"Do you suspect that he deliberately set up trouble?" Yang Hua thought of the reality show Jiang Qiao was on, where one of the regulars was Chen Ze.
But the show hasn't been aired yet, so he doesn't know what happened. From what Jiang Qiao said, it seemed like something unpleasant had happened.
"It's just a suspicion, no evidence yet." Jiang Qiao didn't say anything definitive: "But this matter is most likely related to Chen Ze."
Yang Hua looked serious and said he would ask his friends in the industry. When he left, he stopped and asked Jiang Qiao: "If the crew regrets and lets you continue to sign the contract, will you still act?"
"Help me push it." Jiang Qiao said in a flat tone.
Yang Hua nodded: "Okay, it's better to push it off, otherwise it will be embarrassing later."
There has already been unpleasantness, and if they are forced to work together, neither side will feel happy. If such a crew is coerced by capital once, there will be a second time.
Jiang Qiao didn't want to take the risk, so even though he liked the script, he had to give up.
A few days later, the suspense web drama selected a newcomer, and Jiang Qiao successfully auditioned for the first movie script "Falling Osmanthus"
It was not until the day of signing the contract that Jiang Qiao found out that the director behind the film was actually Zhang Kang.
Whether you are in the entertainment industry or not, you must have heard of Zhang Kang, a national-level director. Every work he produces has both literary and commercial value.
However, in the past two years, there has been no work. There are rumors in the industry that this great director is ill and is about to retire. Unexpectedly, he is going to direct "Falling Osmanthus" without making any noise.
"Then why did Director Zhang hide it until the signing of the contract? If he had released the news earlier, there would surely be many popular artists begging for the role." Julie said in confusion after her excitement.
What she didn't say is that there must be many artists willing to act in the film for free. After all, it is a work by a national director and it has too much value.
Jiang Qiao was also a little confused, but what the director thought was none of her business. The contract had been signed, so she just had to do her job well and act well.
This movie is a departure from Zhang Kang's previous grand and majestic style. It is an ignorant and sour love literary film. The filming location happened to be in Haicheng.
There was still a month left before the filming. In order to consolidate the popularity of "Flowers in the Sky", Yang Hua took advantage of the opportunity to arrange several special interviews for Jiang Qiao, and also accepted a sparkling water beverage endorsement.
So, Jiang Qiao started busying herself with announcements again, and could only make a video call with Lu Xun when she had some free time at night.
The sparkling water commercial was filmed in a real-scene studio downstairs of the company. When Jiang Qiao arrived at the location, he saw Chen Ze shooting a magazine on the other side.
"Chen Ze became the chief spokesperson for this brand of beverage the day before yesterday." Julie whispered to the side.
The endorsement that was just won the day before yesterday? Jiang Qiao frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
How come as soon as she took on the endorsement of the sparkling water series, Chen Ze turned around and took on the general endorsement, as if he wanted to deliberately suppress her.
As it turned out, Jiang Qiao was right. After putting on her makeup and changing her clothes, she was about to go out for the photo shoot when Chen Ze blocked her at the door.
"I finally got this endorsement, so I have to shoot it well." Chen Ze looked Jiang Qiao up and down with a disdainful tone.
Jiang Qiao's expression remained unchanged: "Of course."
"Oh, you are really a nobody. You are so happy just by endorsing a sparkling water." Seeing her like this, Chen Ze's expression became even more contemptuous.
Thinking of his status as the chief spokesperson, he felt even more superior. He moved closer, with a glimmer of pride in his eyes: "Please take good pictures later, don't hold me back..."
What do you mean by holding him back? Jiang Qiao frowned, not understanding what was going on. After Chen Ze finished speaking, he held his head high and walked away triumphantly.
As soon as Chen Ze left, Jiang Qiao received a call from his agent Yang Hua, who said in a serious tone, "I found out that Chen Ze is Mr. Ye's employee at Ye's company."
This sparkling water brand is a product of Ye’s Company.
No wonder Chen Ze was able to win the general endorsement in one fell swoop. He also ran in front of her and said those words. He probably wanted to make trouble for her. The shooting in a while was definitely aimed at her.
"I will go over right away to negotiate with the senior management of Ye Corporation." Yang Hua said calmly, "If he wants to trip me up, he has to see if he has the ability to do so."
Ye's company is still no match for Guonan.
Jiang Qiao smiled after hearing his words: "Brother Yang, you don't have to come. I have a way."
"Xiao Qiao, you don't have to think too much. Others are bullying us, there is no need to endure it." Yang Hua felt that she didn't want to cause trouble.
"Really, I have a solution."
"What can you do? He's a treacherous man. It would be bad if he got you hurt during the filming."
It's not like Chen Ze hasn't done this before. When he was shooting a commercial before, he even deliberately pushed his partner into the water.
If anything happened to Jiang Qiao under his control, Yang Hua was really afraid that Guo Nan would skin Chen Ze alive.
"Don't worry, I'll explain this to the Ye family's top management and won't give Chen Ze a chance to harm you."
"Really not." Jiang Qiao said: "I can say it myself."
In the midst of Yang Hua's confusion, Jiang Qiao could only say, "The daughter of Ye's company is my good friend."
The daughter of the Ye Group? This person has much more say than the top management of the Ye Group, so Yang Hua was relieved, but he still said: "Be careful."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Hua told his boss about it without hesitation.
Here, Jiang Qiao sent a text message to Ye Qingqing, without giving any specific details, only saying that he was shooting a commercial at her company.
After hearing this, Ye Qingqing immediately expressed her interest in coming to watch.
Her voice was full of excitement. Jiang Qiao sighed, thought for a moment, and said with concern: "I'm going to tell you something in a moment, so be prepared."
"What's the matter?" Ye Qingqing asked puzzledly.
Jiang Qiao: "I'll tell you when you get here."
Otherwise, she was afraid that Ye Qingqing would be too excited and it would be unsafe to drive.
