Select2, ng-model and angular

Question

Using jquery-select2 ( not ui-select) and angular, I am trying to set a value for an ng model.

I tried using $watchand ng-change, but none of them work after selecting an item using select2.

Unfortunately, I am using a purchased template and cannot use angular -ui.

HTML:

<input type="hidden" class="form-control select2remote input-medium"
    ng-model="contact.person.id"
    value="{{ contact.person.id }}"
    data-display-value="{{ contact.person.name }}"
    data-remote-search-url="api_post_person_search"
    data-remote-load-url="api_get_person"
    ng-change="updatePerson(contact, contact.person)">

ClientController:

$scope.updatePerson = function (contact, person) {
    console.log('ng change');
    console.log(contact);
    console.log(person);
} // not firing

$scope.$watch("client", function () {
    console.log($scope.client);
}, true); // not firing either

JQuery Integration:

var handleSelect2RemoteSelection = function () {
    if ($().select2) {
        var $elements = $('input[type=hidden].select2remote');
        $elements.each(function(){
            var $this = $(this);
            if ($this.data('remote-search-url') && $this.data('remote-load-url')) {
                $this.select2({
                    placeholder: "Select",
                    allowClear: true,
                    minimumInputLength: 1,
                    ajax: { // instead of writing the function to execute the request we use Select2 convenient helper
                        url: Routing.generate($this.data('remote-search-url'), {'_format': 'json'}),
                        type: 'post',
                        dataType: 'json',
                        delay: 250,
                        data: function (term, page) {
                            return {
                                query: term, // search term
                            };
                        },
                        results: function (data, page) { // parse the results into the format expected by Select2.
                            return {
                                results: $.map(data, function (datum) {
                                    var result = {
                                        'id': datum.id,
                                        'text': datum.name
                                    };
                                    for (var prop in datum) {
                                        if (datum.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
                                            result['data-' + prop] = datum[prop];
                                        }
                                    }
                                    return result;
                                })
                            }
                        }
                    },
                    initSelection: function (element, callback) {
                        // the input tag has a value attribute preloaded that points to a preselected movie id
                        // this function resolves that id attribute to an object that select2 can render
                        // using its formatResult renderer - that way the movie name is shown preselected
                        var id = $(element).val(),
                            displayValue = $(element).data('display-value');
                        if (id && id !== "") {
                            if (displayValue && displayValue !== "") {
                                callback({'id': $(element).val(), 'text': $(element).data('display-value')});
                            } else {
                                $.ajax(Routing.generate($this.data('remote-load-url'), {'id': id, '_format': 'json'}), {
                                    dataType: "json"
                                }).done(function (data) {
                                    callback({'id': data.id, 'text': data.name});
                                });
                            }
                        }
                    },
                });
            }
        });
    }
};

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)
