Chapter 967 - Was He Smiling Just Now? (1/2)
The corners of Mo Liuxi’s mouth slightly twitched.
Was he smiling just now? He didn’t think so.
“Focus. Let’s see their acting,” he said to Li Ming.
d.a.m.n. Who’s the not-focusing one? Li Ming thought.
More than 30 actors and actresses came for the audition. Some of them flew all the way there. Mo Liuxi tended to work with experienced artists since they were good at acting. The producer liked the popular ones more.
Around noon, they had a simple lunch. They sat together and talked about one of the male supporting characters. During the meeting, He Jian received a phone call.
After ending the call, he came back and said to the others, “Here is an urgent message from the investor. She Xiang will be playing that supporting character.”
The others were surprised.
Director Li pulled a long face and said, “We were about to give that role to Pan Qingfeng. He is popular and a good actor. He is looking for a chance to expand his career, so he even lowered his price.”
“That’s right.” The a.s.sistant director nodded. “Earlier, I read news saying that s.h.i.+ Xiang acts like a diva. I hate it when my artists are like that.”
“This is not for me to decide.” He Jian was a little embarra.s.sed and said, “The investor strongly demanded we give him that role. We are talking about the biggest investor of this film. I couldn’t say no to what they asked. Also, I have to remind you that we hired a Korean company for post-production. If we don’t do what they say, the post-production team might leave.”
Director Li’s face was sour. Mo Liuxi frowned. s.h.i.+ Xiang’s name wasn’t strange for him. Earlier, he made Chu Jiu switch the spokesperson of his new game. s.h.i.+ Xiang was the one who got replaced.
