513 Dismissal
The headline of Hua Xia information’s front page today had already announced the collaboration between chessaray and Tao cen. The headline was ‘chessaray favors Tao cen more’. However, at this moment, Jiang se also released a photo of her and chessaray. In comparison, Jiang SE’s relationship with a famous director seemed to be better.
Jiang se did not refute or explain the hot news in her country. A single photo was enough to give Huaxia information a slap in the face.
After all, although Tao cen had participated in the filming of chessaray’s movie, she had no friendship with chessaray, much less the term ‘old friend’.
However, she had participated in the shooting of two heavily invested commercial films, the lost city, and had a good advantage in terms of resources.
Xia qunchao, who was accompanying Jiang se to sign the contract in Rome, received a call from China Information.
In the local news, Huaxia information had just released a piece of news that was trampling on Jiang se and praising Tao cen. The reporter in charge of contacting Xia Chaoqun on the phone spoke carefully and awkwardly. In contrast, Xia Chaoqun’s expression was cold as he listened to her request.
sister Xia, regarding today’s news headline, it was a mistake by our colleagues in the entertainment gossip Department. They wrote the wrong headline and we are currently thinking of a way to remove it.
Dealing with Xia Chaoqun was the biggest headache for many entertainment reporters.
She wasn’t enthusiastic, unlike some celebrity managers who were friendly to reporters and tried their best to win them over, hoping to earn news and popularity for their own celebrities.
Xia Chaoqun did not need to do any of that. All she needed to do was to sign better endorsements and movies for Jiang se. That would be enough to make the media swarm her for news and gossip.
For example, the news of Jiang SE’s marriage. For example, Jiang SE’s account had posted a picture of her and chessaray.
No matter how the local news media tried to trample on Jiang se, Xia Chaoqun remained calm. Once he set the bait, the media reporters would obediently take the bait.
It was not easy to get through to her phone. If she picked up, the reporters would be grateful.
Many people wanted to get first-hand information on what the photo of chessaray and Jiang se meant.
“Remove?” Xia Chaoqun asked, ” is there any news that you need to remove? ”
The female reporter on the phone with her was suddenly at a loss for words.
The news in the country had blown up so much that it was impossible for Xia Chaoqun not to know. At this moment, she was asking the obvious. The reporter who made the call was red in the face. After a long while, he stuttered and could not even speak clearly.
“Exactly. Today, there’s been some gossip about director chessley and Tao cen’s collaboration.”
“Isn’t it a fact that chessaray and Tao cen are working together?” Xia Chaoqun asked slowly, ”
“Why do we have to retreat?”
“It’s Yingluo.”
The female reporter looked helpless and quickly nodded.
however, in the headline of the news, because the entertainment team was short-handed, they had to transfer people from other teams at the last minute. They might not be familiar with the situation, so the news headline was”.
She was still thinking of ways to make up for it. Xia Chaoqun listened to her patiently for a while. In the end, her voice became softer and softer. She couldn’t continue and simply apologized, ”
I’m sorry, sister Xia. In short, today’s news will be slowly removed.
“Don’t beat around the bush. What do you want to ask?”
The moment Xia Chaoqun asked this, the female reporter heaved a sigh of relief and quickly replied, ”
“Sese posted a photo with director Chesare on her official account. Does it mean that Sese and Chesare also working together? Is it a new character in the lost city 2?”
“I can guarantee that this information will be exclusive to you, but I have a request at the same time.”
Xia Chaoqun spoke unhurriedly, ”
we can’t remove Tao cen’s news. In addition, we’ll maintain the popularity of this news in this period of time. Her request confused the female reporter. It would not do Jiang se any good. After Huaxia information’s news came out today, many people mocked and ridiculed Jiang se. Some said that no matter how close she was with chessaray, the one who would get the role in the movie would still be Tao cen and not her. Some people even laughed at Jiang se for wasting her efforts.
“Are you sure?”
The female reporter was a little uneasy and asked. Xia Chaoqun smiled and said, ”
“Do you think I’m joking with you?”
The female reporter covered the phone’s speaker and relayed Xia Chaoqun’s words to her superior. She then asked Xia Chaoqun at her superior’s signal, ”
“Then your so-called exclusive news is Yingluo?”
Jiang SE’s in Rome. She just signed a contract for Chesare’s movie.
Such news confirmed the speculations of a group of people on the internet. If Huaxia information was the first to release this news, it would indeed be considered an exclusive. The female reporter looked a little excited and asked, ”
“Is it the lost city 2?”
“No,” she said. Xia Chaoqun said indifferently, ”
“It’s God’s redemption.”
After she said this, the reporter from Huaxia information understood her intentions.
They elevated Tao cen’s status and kept today’s news like ‘a famous director collaborated with Tao cen and abandoned Jiang se’ hot for a while. The more people were talking about Jiang se, the more sensational it would be when news of Jiang se working with chessaray was released.
However, Tao cen would probably be too ashamed to show his face if he did that!
Compared to the news of Chen Jiao trampling on Jiang se, Xia Chaoqun’s methods were undoubtedly much more brilliant. He was openly praising her but secretly sabotaging her. This was enough to damage Tao cen’s reputation and bring him trouble.
After Tao cen ordered Chen Jiao to remove the news, Chen Jiao thought that it would be easy to remove the news. However, when she called back to China, the reporters she was familiar with in the country would change their minds. Every time she mentioned removing the news, they would try to avoid it.
And after some time, the topic became more and more heated. Huaxia information’s news was full of praise for Tao cen.
Fortunately, the shooting of the lost city 2 was about to start, so Tao cen hadn’t caused her any trouble yet. However, she was already very impatient with Chen Jiao.
The days passed in Chen Jiao’s worry. There was always news about Tao cen’s filming of the lost city 2, and the netizens paid a lot of attention to it. Under such circumstances, Chen Jiao was also on tenterhooks. In mid-July, Tao cen’s scenes in the lost city 2 had all been filmed, and the local media had already pushed her to a new height.
By the time Tao cen felt that something was amiss, it was already too late!
While Tao cen’s fans were still reveling in the fact that she had stepped all over Jiang se by filming a blockbuster movie that was invested in by Europe and the United States, Huaxia Information Network released the news they had received from Xia Chaoqun earlier. Jiang se had signed a contract with a famous director for God’s redemption!
When the news was released, many of Jiang SE’s fans were overjoyed.
Over this period of time, Tao cen and chessaray’s collaboration had been on the news frequently. Some people were already unhappy about it, especially when the media was helping Tao cen step on Jiang se in every way. They felt that Jiang se and chessaray’s friendship was not enough to support their collaboration. The news at this moment was undoubtedly very satisfying!
The lost city 2 was not done filming yet, but Tao cen’s scenes had already ended. She had not returned to the country yet. In a hotel in Australia, she was reading the domestic news without saying a word, which made Chen Jiao feel at a loss.
Once Huaxia information released the news, it had a huge impact on Tao cen. She had worked hard for so many years to achieve what she had today. However, this piece of news was enough to destroy her years of hard work.
It wasn’t easy to get the opportunity to act in chessaray’s movie, but because of Chen Jiao’s self-conceited little trick, not only did this opportunity to gain a wave of favorability go to waste, but it also made her a laughingstock for some netizens.
She had been a Taoist for many years and had always held a high position in the hearts of the people. After this incident, one could imagine how many people were laughing behind her back, laughing at her being pulled down from the altar.
Other than the blow to his reputation, the most serious damage was still some fashion resources and endorsements.
Some international luxury brands had been observing her. Those who had the intention to cooperate with her might give up after this incident.
Chen Jiao’s face was filled with uneasiness, her hands hanging in front of her stomach, wanting to admit her mistake.
“Sister Tao, I’ve already called Yingluo.”
She had really called Huaxia information to remove the news from that time. However, no one had expected that not only did the news not be removed, but the matter had also become more serious.
At this point, Tao cen could easily guess who was manipulating the direction of public opinion behind the scenes.
It was almost August now. The ‘open and covert fight’ between him and Jiang se this year was getting out of hand under the media’s exaggeration. One could imagine that it was already the annual news.
Fedarer and Jiang se had signed a one-year endorsement contract. After fedarer set a precedent for working with Chinese celebrities, Tao cen had also intended to compete for the endorsement next year. They had been in contact with each other.
She had a lot of resources, status, and fame. She had filmed ” the lost city 2 ” this year, and the first movie ” the lost city ” would be screened next year. She would have been a hot topic and maintained a good relationship with the representative of fedarer in China. However, now that such a piece of news had been made, it was still a question whether fedarer would consider her next year.
While Chen Jiao was still thinking about her ‘grudge’ with Jiang se and using the newspapers and magazines to trample on others to boost her reputation, Xia Chaoqun was already using this incident to pave the way for Jiang se and restrict her own development.
Tao cen had originally thought that with her means, status, and connections, she no longer needed a powerful manager. A so-called manager would at most be a Senior Assistant. But now, it seemed that she had been wrong.
She sighed. She really envied Jiang se at this moment.
“Chaoqun,”
If Xia Chaoqun was still by her side, wouldn’t the outcome of today’s matter be completely different?
She didn’t need to deal with these troubles. All she needed to do was to move forward with all her might and not be hindered by small things.
When Xia Chaoqun resigned from her position as her manager, did he predict that there would be a day when Jiang se would have a dispute with him over various resources and the title of China’s top female star? did he make a decision in advance to avoid today’s situation?
Tao cen picked up the phone and called her financial planner, asking her to transfer a sum of money to another account.
Chen Jiao had been with her for a while, and when she heard her say this, she had a bad feeling.
She hung up the phone and looked at Chen Jiao,
I already have enough people on my side. Rohault from the company called me before, saying that there are other artistes that you need to manage. We’ve worked together for a while, and I’ve asked someone to transfer a sum of money to your account. Consider it an extra payment.
“Sister Tao, you want to chase me away?”
Chen Jiao’s guess was confirmed, and she panicked.
As the top star of the century in the Galaxy, Tao cen’s annual income as her manager was already more than that of managing countless artistes.
After being with Tao cen for a while, Chen Jiao’s income was not much worse than a small star’s. Her conditions were also much better than before, so she naturally didn’t want to leave.
Furthermore, if Tao cen were to chase her away, not only would her income shrink, the company would probably freeze her. She would probably not be able to manage promising newcomers, which would be equivalent to destroying her career.
She still wanted to plead for mercy, but Tao cen did not even want to talk to her anymore.
She still needed to clean up the mess in the country. She also needed to build up the good impression she had lost with some manufacturers. She had not completely given up on the fedarer endorsement. She still had other films to film in the future, so she did not want to waste any time talking nonsense with Chen Jiao.
Tao cen asked her assistant to stop Chen Jiao and frowned, ”
I’ll get someone to book the opportunity for you to return to China. You can leave tonight.
Chen Jiao still wanted to plead for mercy, but the assistant already understood her intentions the moment Tao cen turned around.
It was eight o ‘clock in the evening in China. It was the best time of the day for Feng Nan.
Feng Nan had put in a lot of effort that night to invite Huo Zhiming to a roast duck restaurant for dinner and to discuss cooperation with him.
In fact, she had been in a bad mood recently. She had accidentally found out from Feng Shiyong that the original Feng Nan had been kidnapped when he was young. She remembered Xiao Liu’s reminder, and at that time, she had scolded Xiao Liu and didn’t listen to him. After that, she had called him to ask, but Xiao Liu refused to say anything more.
She didn’t dare to ask too much, afraid that she would give herself away. Recently, she had been looking for people to investigate in private.
On the other hand, the release of ‘revenge’ did not cause as much of a stir as she had expected. Instead, it was sandwiched between the release of ‘demon’ and ‘unexpected incident’, and did not even cause a splash.
The gimmicks of ‘a Virgin director show’ and ‘a low-budget film that does not lose out to a big production’ that she had initially wanted to hype up were far inferior to the battle between Jiang se and Tao cen, which the audience preferred.
To her, even if “revenge” was criticized by the public, it was better than being ignored. This was her first time directing and acting, but she lost to timing and reality. She had the advantage of time and place, but she could not win the support of the people.
In the end, although ‘revenge’ did not make a loss at the box office, it did not make as much profit as Feng Nan had expected. After the theater chain saw that the box office of this movie was not good, they canceled the release of ‘revenge’.
Dong Mingsheng had also taken the opportunity to fall out with her and refused to invest in her next movie.
After going through all this, Feng Nan had come around to the idea that it was still too difficult for her to write, direct, and act on her own.
Due to her lack of funds, connections, and status, and her family’s lack of support, her path in the film industry was extremely difficult. On the contrary, Jiang se had started her career at the same time as her, but she was doing far better than her.
She decided to put aside her plans to act for the time being and act in other people’s movies first to accumulate a certain amount of fame and money. By then, when she had money, she would no longer need to be at Dong Mingsheng’s beck and call. Naturally, there would be more people who would want to invest in her with money.
