Feng Nan's first reaction was the same as that of Tao Cen's agent, Chen Jiao: we must not let this matter get out, let Jiang Se and Cesare get on the same line, and let her reputation in the country rise again and again, she should be released Suppress it.

In terms of dining etiquette, Cesare maintains impeccable good habits. He is not very proficient in handling Chinese chopsticks, and occasionally needs to use a knife and fork:

"In the eyes of many people, Matthew's novel has not sold well, and even today, there are not many reprints."

He forked a piece of meat, "I want to put it on the screen so that more people can see it, but now the plan has been shelved again and again."

"It's not because she's not good enough, it's just because you like her so much, so you're more cautious." Jiang Se answered Cesare's question, making him laugh out loud:

"That's just one of the reasons."

With joy in his eyes, he put down the knife and fork, and raised a hand:

"But I like how you put it, it makes me sound comfortable."

"In fact, the real reason, besides the fact that she deserves my caution, is that the most important thing is investment."

Cesare sighed, and the smile on his face faded a lot.

Jiang Se frowned. Cesare is still young, in his thirties and less than forty years old, but he is already a young director who has gained great recognition in the film industry. He is well-known internationally. As long as he There should be quite a few people willing to invest in the idea.

She had memorized Cesare's information and knew some of his achievements. Many well-known Hollywood movie stars should be happy to cooperate with him.

But at this time, Cesare said that he did not shoot his favorite "Prisoner" because of investment.

Jiang Se reacted very keenly. It should not only be general investment, but Cesare has certain requirements for these investments.

As for this request, Jiang Se guessed that from Cesare's appreciation and liking for the novel "The Prisoner", he should hope to obtain greater authority for filming as a basis.

Jiang Se has not been in contact with the foreign film industry, but he probably has some understanding. The role of the director on the set is to give the story depth to the art.

However, with the intervention of investors and producers, if the director is not strong enough, it is very likely that the final direction of the story will deviate from the director's imagination, and the preferences and tastes of the market audience will be the main focus.

Today, the Hollywood film industry has matured, and a large number of investors can invest in many films at the same time. The loss of one film can be recovered in other films. In this case, commercial blockbusters are frequently produced, but the real depth There are not too many movies.

Since Cesare likes "The Prisoner", he naturally does not want it to be reduced to a commercial film. However, since the original work does not have a large number of fans as a foundation, if he wants to follow the original work and make an authentic "Prisoner", the producer How could Fang invest?

This is probably the real reason why "The Prisoner" has not been filmed so far.

As Cesare said, it is not because the movie is not good enough, nor is it because he is not famous enough, nor is it because he likes it very much, but because his ideas are likely to conflict with the market.

How to make an imaginary movie that the audience likes and is also satisfied with is a very difficult task.

"It's not a simple matter."

Jiang Se wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin. Cesare is young and rich, but it is obviously unrealistic to invest in a movie alone.

Especially works with magical colors like "The Prisoner", the hiring of actors, the post-production team and special effects production, all kinds of money are money. Jiang Se thought for a while and made a suggestion:

"However, if you have great expectations for this movie, you can invest in yourself first, and then take a loan from the bank after filming for a while."

Cesare laughed again. He took the wine glass on the side, raised it to Janser, and made a gesture of clinking glasses:

"Your suggestion is very good, and I have considered it."

As soon as he mentioned this point, Jiang Se had already guessed the unfinished meaning of his words. This obviously made Cesare very happy, and he took a sip of the wine in the glass:

"But in the end I convinced Pogier and Round Island."

He shook the glass, the transparent liquid rippled in the crystal glass, and the air was filled with a faint aroma of wine:

"The people from Pogier's company wanted to invest in an adventure series three years ago, and they found me." He leaned back in his chair, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up: "I promised to direct this series of films, and they Invest in my "Prisoner"."

This is an exchange condition. He made the round island company invest in his "Prisoner" on the condition of shooting a commercial film. It must have gone through some negotiations, but Cesare did not describe it in detail here.

Having said that, Cesare paused for a moment, put the cup away, looked at Jiang Se, and finally said his biggest purpose for this trip to China:

"Jiang, I remember, you are a student of the history department?"

"Yes."

When Jiang Se heard him mention the name of the company "Pojil, Huandao", she already knew it in her mind. She remembered Xia Chaoqun's reminder, and she already guessed Cesare's intention for asking this question.

At this time, Jiang Se's heart beat slightly faster, and her blood was boiling. She guessed that the opportunity Xia Chaoqun said was about to come.

But she was still very calm on the surface, and she didn't show any gaffes.

"In this series of adventure movies, I have read the script, and one of the characters fits your image very well. Are you interested in learning about it?"

Cesare laughed and held out his hand to Janser.

He seemed to be very confident that Jiang Se would not refuse, and Jiang Se really had no reason to refuse. She had already extended her hand without asking Cesare what kind of role he had prepared for her:

"Of course there is!"

The two shook hands.

After confirming Jiangser's attitude, Cesare immediately stopped talking about other irrelevant topics:

""The Lost City" is mainly about adventure, and one of the characters happens to be a woman who graduated from the history department. I have seen your performance in "The Great Event in Peking". It has very Chinese characteristics."

He propped his elbows on the table, clenched one hand into a fist, and described the female characters needed in "The Lost City" in a few words.

According to the meaning of his words, Jiang Se probably guessed what he wanted to feel. The character came from the history department, so he should be quite rich in historical knowledge. At the same time, because it is an adventure movie, it is not ruled out that there will be a lot of action scenes.

Judging from the title of the film, Jiang Se even guessed that this movie character should have a certain understanding of archaeology. At the same time, Cesare mentioned "The Great Event in Peking", and explained that the cardamom performed by Jiang Se in the play has Chinese characteristics, which proves that The role he needs, in addition to a certain amount of knowledge of history and archaeology, also has the unique style of oriental women. In terms of dress, it is mainly traditional Chinese characteristics.

A rough image suddenly appeared in her mind.
