659 Crime

What Shu Peien was afraid of was the scene of Tao cen’s ” Accident ” at the France Film Festival many years ago.

There was nothing to nitpick about Tao cen’s performance back then. However, due to her status, the audience’s expectations of her were much higher than Jiang SE’s.

Therefore, when ” the unexpected ” and ” demon ” were competing for the same role, all the audience members, including Shu Peien, unanimously agreed that Jiang SE’s performance back then was more stunning than Tao cen’s, who had acted in an ordinary manner.

The tables had turned, and Jiang se was the one who had suffered the same losses as Tao cen.

If Jiang se had put in a lot of effort in her previous works, she would have to put in a lot of effort for this one. Perhaps, she would be able to meet the audience’s expectations.

“I won’t say anymore, I won’t.”

Cui Zhangcheng heard shupeien talking endlessly about the movie, so he stopped him in time and asked about his health. Anyway, the movie’s good and bad could always be determined after it was released.

This year, the media paid more attention to Jiang se than in previous years.

The limelight for ‘the salvation of God’ was still there, and she still had her marriage to ask about. The media that wanted to interview her had been making appointments.

On the day of the opening ceremony of the France Film Festival, Jiang se, Tao cen, and Huo Zhiming appeared in the media’s sight.

Tao cen’s long, wavy hair was pushed to one side. She was wearing a black strapless dress. Her skin was fair and her red lips were striking. She had a cold, mature, and sexy allure.

Jiang se, on the other hand, was wearing a Lotus Pink gown that perfectly showed off her slender figure.

The two of them had arrived in France at the same time for the past few days. Although they stayed in the same hotel, they didn’t have much time to meet each other. Most of the time, they were busy with their own things.

The moment Jiang se appeared, the cameras of the media from all over the world who had rushed to participate in the film festival focused on her. Tao cen’s assistant looked a little embarrassed.

Some of the local media quickly took a few photos of Tao cen and turned their cameras away.

Tao cen’s expression was indifferent to such a scene, as if he was not angry.

Jiang SE’s gaze met hers from a distance. She flashed a faint smile and nodded at Tao cen. She returned the smile. Then, she waved at the reporters and naturally turned her head away.

Compared to the resentment on her assistant’s face, Tao cen’s reaction was naturally much more magnanimous.

Jiang se accepted a few last-minute interviews from a few media reporters. When the topic of the movie was brought up, it was inevitable that they would ask about her husband. She briefly answered all of them.

Shupeien had already chosen the location for ‘suspect’ online. Due to his health, he didn’t have many movies to watch during this trip to the film festival.

On the current movie list, other than ‘the suspect’ and the works of a few famous directors, which he had marked as a must-watch, the rest of the movies would be released after the post-production reviews were out.

When he entered the movie palace, he also saw the film crew surrounded by the media.

Initially, Shu Peien had wanted to chat with Jiang se. However, when he saw this scene, he put his hand into his pocket and waited for a while. The number of people around Jiang se had increased. He was stunned for a moment and could only give up on the idea of greeting her.

He looked at the time. There was still half an hour before the broadcast of ‘suspect’, which he had chosen himself. He took out his phone and took a picture of Jiang se being surrounded by reporters. After some thought, he sent the picture to his wife’s phone and said jokingly, ” four years ago, I still remember the French Film Festival. Zhao rang brought Jiang se and the others to France with ‘demon.’

At that time, Jiang se was not very famous yet. Liu Ye was the most famous among them. He was well-known to some of the foreign media because he had filmed Zhang Jingan’s “rescue mission “.

But even so, the treatment “demon” received at the beginning of the game was still slightly shabby.

Shu Peien still remembered that he had originally wanted to watch Tao cen’s movie at that time, but he had accidentally stumbled into the theater of ‘the demon’.

He hadn’t booked a ticket in advance, but ‘demon’ wasn’t that well known back then, so there was no need to book a ticket in advance. The theater was still empty. When he entered, there were a few foreign reporters who entered the theater, looking like they were getting ready to rest.

Back then, Jiang se had been rather young and inexperienced. When she was outside the theater with the film crew, not many people even greeted her, let alone interviewing her.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the theater for ‘the demon’ was completely deserted. After shupeien came out of the movie, he could even chat with her casually.

It was not like how it was now. In just a few years, people were already lining up to speak to Jiang se and interview her.

He smiled and rubbed his hands together. He was happy for Jiang se.

Now that she was famous, she was naturally different from the cold shoulder she had been in the past.

Shu Peien turned around to leave. Jiang se was in the midst of her interview when she vaguely saw someone familiar through the crowd.

“I’m sorry.”

She apologized and gave an apologetic smile to the reporters who came to welcome her. She pushed through the crowd and saw Shu Peien who was about to leave.

“Teacher Shu.”

She called out in Chinese. Shu Peien didn’t expect that she would be able to find him in the middle of this group of people. He thought that he had misheard her call earlier.

To his surprise, Jiang se called out, ”

“Teacher Shu.”

This time, Shu Peien had indeed heard her. He turned around and saw Jiang se talking to the media in English. After she sent the reporters away, she walked toward him.

She was still tidying her clothes when a few assistants stopped the media who wanted to follow her.

“I thought I was mistaken. I didn’t expect it to really be you.”

Jiang se was indeed surprised to see Shu Peien here. She had met him a few times before. When her movies were released in the past few years, Shu Peien had written reviews for her and praised her a lot.

“I just came in, and I just happened to see you.” Shu Peien chuckled. I wanted to say hello, but I saw that you were quite busy. I was just about to leave, but I didn’t expect you to see me.

Jiang se nodded. There were many people here, and there were even reporters from the media in the distance. It was not a good place to talk. When the two of them entered the film Palace, Jiang se glanced at shupeien.

“I thought I had the wrong person at first. Are you feeling better?”

This circle was very small, and as long as one paid a little attention, they would be able to find out anything.

At the beginning of the year, there had been news that shupeien was not feeling well. At that time, some people in the industry had spread the news that shupeien was very likely to retire and might not be able to attend the France Film Festival this year.

In fact, Shu Peien had been in a semi-retired state for the past few years. He didn’t write many film reviews, and his special columns were mostly in the form of special invitations.

However, no matter how few movie reviews he had, he had watched every one of Jiang SE’s movies that had been released in the past few years.

Therefore, when news that Shu Peien was not feeling well and might have to leave the industry came out this year, the first person that came to mind was Jiang se.

Everyone knew that ” suspect “, which Jiang se and Tao cen acted in, would be released in March this year. This movie had an uncertain element like Huo Zhiming. On top of that, it had Jiang se and Tao cen as its cast. It was highly anticipated.

The film had not even been released yet, but the public was already looking forward to it.

He was Jiang SE’s ‘fan’. In the past, when Jiang se released a new work, everyone thought that it was only natural for him to write a film review of her new work. This year, news of Shu Peien’s retirement came out. Everyone was guessing whether he would continue writing Jiang SE’s new work.

After all, Jiang se and Tao cen had a scene in ” a suspect ” where they had to act against each other. If Shu Peien wanted to write a film review, it was inevitable that he would mention the performance of the two female celebrities in the film. If he was not careful, he might offend either of them.

He might use his physical discomfort as an excuse to give up on writing a film review for ‘suspect’ this year.

“Much better,” Shupeien had also heard of the rumors on the internet. Many people had made speculations, and some had even posted bets.

Jiang SE’s eyes were filled with concern. Shu Peien smiled.

“I didn’t set too many goals for this trip to France, so it’s not tiring.” When he said this, he asked Jiang se, ”

I heard that when Mr. Huo was reporting for ‘suspect,’ both your and Tao cen’s names were on the female lead list.

This kind of news was no longer considered a secret in the industry. Almost everyone who was not out of touch with the news knew about it. Shu Peien had always thought highly of Jiang se, so he would pay more attention to her news. It was not surprising that he knew about this.

Jiang se was also very calm.

“I did hear that.”

He coughed and took out a thermos from his pocket. He took two sips of water and cleared his throat.

“Are you confident?”

Jiang se shook her head.

“I’m not sure,”

Her words were quite interesting. Shu Peien pondered whether her ‘I’m not sure’ was because she was nervous about his performance in ‘suspect’ or because she missed out on the grand prize in the previous two seasons.

At this point, Shu Peien was actually a little emotional.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t good at acting or that she didn’t have the ability to pick a good script. In fact, Shu Peien had thought that the previous two films were very good.

However, she would either lose to the invisible rules and regulations or help the director and the crew. Up to this point, Jiang se had been in the industry for quite some time. She had produced many works and even won some awards.

Putting the domestic awards aside, the truly meaningful international award,’centuries-old filmmaker’, was won by’ the salvation of God’. It even won the best film Award, but she didn’t get any proof of her acting skills.

In ” demon, ” she was so thin that she lost her shape. She gave up her image to challenge the role of a mother who had lost her daughter, but this did not change everyone’s impression of her-she was unparalleled beauty.

If such a label was attached to anyone, it would be worth being happy about. But when it was attached to an excellent actor, it seemed a little helpless.

a suspect ” had not been released yet. The public’s impression of the two female leads was more inclined to Tao cen’s acting skills, while Jiang SE’s was more pleasing to the eye.

Even though everyone knew that she was good at acting, her first impression was still mostly of her beauty.

What do you think of your performance in ‘suspect’? ”

Shu Peien actually hoped that she could win an award to prove that, in addition to her box office appeal and beautiful face, she also had memorable acting skills.

She laughed, ”

“I should leave this for you to judge. After all, you’re the professional film critic, not me.”

She lowered her head, and her slender neck was like a Swan’s. Her posture and smile were quite pleasing to the eye, almost reaching the level of a textbook etiquette model. There was a gentle feeling in her eyes, and she didn’t show any domineering attitude because she was the center of attention earlier. She also didn’t show any displeasure because of Shu Peien’s slightly ‘doubtful’ attitude.

It was as if the two of them were just talking about a very light topic. She didn’t seem to notice the public’s attention on her new work after the movie ” the salvation of God.

“I’ve already done my best during the filming.”

When she finished speaking, Chen Shan and the other two rushed in. When they saw Jiang se, they heaved a sigh of relief and went up to greet Shu Peien.

Mo Anqi stayed outside to fend off the reporters. These people did not reveal anything when they saw Jiang se. It was likely that they would not let her go easily. After Xia Chaoqun said that he wanted to train her, mo Anqi had also consciously cultivated her own abilities in this area.

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Shu Peien looked at his watch. suspect ” would be screening in about ten minutes. Hence, he did not want to disturb Jiang se and her two assistants. He quickly bade them farewell and left.

Due to Jiang SE’s popularity, ” the suspect ” attracted a lot of attention among the other films that were exhibited at the film festival this time. The screening room was not the same as it had been in the past. Shu Peien found it very quickly. When he entered the theater, there were still five to six minutes before the movie would be screened.

At this moment, the large theater that could accommodate 300 people was almost 90% full. Other than some Asian faces, most of the foreign media were there as well. Clearly, they were there for Jiang se.

When shupeien sat down, more people came in one after another. Some of them whispered, and the names of ‘Jiang se’ and ‘censare’ were mixed in. It was only two minutes before the show started that the lights in the hall were turned off, and the voices stopped.

In the last row of the theater, Huo Zhiming and the crew sat in the corner.

They had swiped their cards to enter after the lights were out. They did not attract any attention. Even the media personnel sitting in the back row did not notice that Jiang se, whom they had been discussing, had entered.

Before the movie began, shupeien had already checked the time several times. At the last second of the countdown, the screen went black, and ‘suspect’ finally officially started screening.

The screen lit up. In a communication room, a few staff members were sorting out the letters. After sorting them out, a chubby man in his fifties picked up one of them and frowned.

“This one doesn’t have a name, it only says” for head Captain Wangjin.”” He scratched his head. isn’t this situation a little strange? How many letters like this have you received in this period of time?”

He grabbed the letter and flipped it over. There was no recipient’s name or sender’s information on it. The recipient’s address was the Wangjin head team, and the telephone number was still the Office Phone Number.

The person who spoke bent down and pulled open the drawer, taking out several similar letters from inside. This was a prank, but after sending so many letters in a row, shouldn’t there be an end to it?
