484 An opportunity

The lunch that censaray and Tao cen were supposed to have the day before had been postponed to today. In France, the two of them enjoyed the most authentic French food. Tao cen did not seem to be affected by censaray's hint of cooperation with Jiang se the day before. He was all smiles.

She was a very smart woman. She had schemes and means, but she always knew how to not be annoying.

the film festival has ended. I know you're in a hurry. After the dessert was served, Tao cen smiled.

but I haven't had the chance to meet you since the shooting of the lost city. I heard that the time band from Finland happened to come to nice, and there's a concert in the afternoon.

Chessaray did not touch the dessert in front of him. He only smiled and rejected Tao cen's kind offer.

I'm sorry, the appointment in the afternoon was not within my plans.

Finland's time was one of the world's top orchestras, and its history could be traced back to more than 70 years ago.

The band was not a fixed member, but since its establishment, it had been recruiting excellent members. Tickets were hard to buy, and it had always been a favorite in the eyes of people who liked music and art.

Tao cen's invitation meant that she had already gotten the tickets. Chessaray's gaze fell on the exquisite pastry in front of him.

I'm very grateful for your kind intentions. he shrugged.

“It's just that I have other things to do in the afternoon.”

His rejection was very obvious. Tao cen was supposed to be smart enough to keep her mouth shut at this moment. However, for some reason, she recalled censare's praise for Jiang se the day before.

Tao cen, who had also been nominated for Best Actress like Jiang se, had also received an invitation to the charity dinner after the closing ceremony last night. She had also seen the conversation between chessaray and Jiang se at the dinner. Chessaray had something to do in the afternoon, and it was very likely to be related to Jiang se.

Although she had snatched the role from Jiang se back then and acted in her first film, it was a series. When the producer had signed her, she had only been in the first film of ” the lost city “. She had not been signed on for the second and third films.

This was also the main reason why Tao cen had asked Chesare out for a meal today. When he thought about how Chesare had announced to the media that he would be working with Jiang se, the person he would be meeting this afternoon could very well be Jiang se.

Tao cen pursed her lips and suppressed the curiosity in the depths of her heart. She smiled and put down the fork she was using to eat dessert. She picked up a tablecloth and wiped her mouth. She opened her bag and took out two tickets to the time band.

since that's the case, I'm really sorry that I can't go to this wonderful concert with you. If you have the time, perhaps you can go with your friends.

Chessaray liked beautiful women, art, and photography. At the same time, he was not resistant to music. Tao cen's tactful behavior won chessaray's favor. She was smart and tactful. Even when chessaray had already rejected her, she was still able to endure her embarrassment and nonchalantly took out the tickets to meet his liking. This made chessaray smile.

He did not accept the two tickets, but he was willing to accept Tao cen's good intentions, even though he knew that she had other requests.

In the afternoon, the audition was held in a conference room temporarily rented by the hotel. Other than chessaray, his assistant and staff were present as well. Jiang se appeared in the conference room, wearing a simple pair of jeans and a sweater.

Her long hair was tied up, and she was holding ‘the prisoner', which she had borrowed from chessaray. After greeting him, she solemnly handed the book back to him.

“You've already finished?”

Chessaray took the book and asked with a faint smile.

When the book was with Jiang se, she had protected it very well. There were no wrinkles on it, and it was obvious that it had been flipped through. There was a simple bookmark in the book. Chessaray flipped open the spot where the bookmark was stuck. It happened to be the chapter where Shireen had appeared.

Indeed, Jiang se had prepared in advance for the audition today.

She was being very cautious and did not treat him lightly just because of their friendship. Her attitude had already filled chessaray with anticipation for Jiang SE's performance even before she had officially auditioned.

For Jiang se, it was not easy to play the role of Shireen well.

After a few short interactions with Jiang se, chessaray had a rough understanding of her personality. She was not a devout believer. She did not look like Shireen in the original novel. She did not have a warm personality either. On the contrary, she was rather cold. If she wanted to bring Shireen to life, she could not just rely on her friendship and luck.

“Watch carefully.” Jiang se understood what chessaray meant. With this novel in her hands, she would have more interactions with chessaray in the future. It also meant that she would have endless opportunities.

“You've thought it through.”

Chesare raised his book and waved it.

“I can't guarantee that I'll succeed in this audition.”

the prisoner ” was a very special existence to him. It was a work that he had liked for many years. He wanted to put it on the big screen and hoped to pick the most suitable person for it.

Even for a character like Shireen, who did not occupy many scenes, he would still have a strict and critical heart.

After today's audition, he would continue to audition for other actors when he returned to Italy before making a final decision.

If Jiang se returned the novel to her now, she might not be selected in the future. It would not be easy to get another chance like this.

“I understand.” Jiang se nodded. however, I like ‘the prisoner' as well. She's not just my backup plan. Even if she failed the audition this time, Jiang se had no intention of holding onto ” the prisoner ” that belonged to chessaray forever.

Some opportunities only came once. Every time he used the same method to get close to chessaray, it would only destroy the good impression he had built up.

Her answer made censarre smile. He put the book away. Instead of asking Jiang se to start, he began to talk about Shireen.

“In your opinion, what's the point of Shireen's existence in ‘the prisoner'?”

In the novel, Shireen's existence was the bridge between Andre and the gods. In the end, she was sacrificed by Andre, allowing him to successfully touch the Golden Pyramid that he had once yearned for but never been able to reach.

In the story, Andre was only one of the bishops of a remote town. If it weren't for this accident, becoming the Pope would have been a laughable dream that he couldn't achieve.

However, he saved Shireen and learned a spell to communicate with the gods from her. He prayed to the gods and said that he wanted to become the Pope, and the gods agreed.

At that time, the Pope Saint Peter was already old and had been looking for a successor. All the forces in the church were ambitious and desired this position.

At that moment, Andre was overjoyed. However, he did not expect that Shireen's soul would be pure while her body was cursed by a heretic.

The moment she was sacrificed, the gate to the other world opened, and a large number of evil spirits invaded.

In that battle, almost the entire town was reduced to hell on earth. Andrew almost lost his life in that battle. He sealed the heresy but left a fatal injury. On his deathbed, the church felt that he had made a great contribution in this battle and made an exception to promote him as a candidate for the future Pope.
