Eain Qin just said that she couldn’t be in the new movie, and then Axel Feng’s phone call came over.
On the phone Axel Feng suggested that he wanted Rorey to play the first female in the movie.
“Director Feng, are you crazy?” This was Rosiley’s first reaction, she hadn’t expected Axel Feng to have such a crazy suggestion, it was a matter of his professional abilities, and he was so thoughtless!
By casting Rorey as the female first, was he really taking the money invested by Regal and TEG seriously?
“I know it’s a risky proposition, but you know in our line of work it’s about being a little adventurous, and the outcome isn’t really that important.”
It was a nice thing to say, but the risk had to be a worthwhile one, Rorey this risk, she wouldn’t take it.
“Director Feng, I’m sorry, but I won’t agree to this proposal of yours. I’ll pick another suitable actor.”
“You really can’t give me this face?”
“Director Feng, I’d be very generous when you let Rorey show her face in the movie before. She’s an artist with an extremely poor reputation, I won’t joke with the company’s investment money.”
She paused, “And I think…, Director Feng, you won’t easily joke with your reputation, right?”
Axel Feng on the other side of the phone was silent, and Rosiley also remained silent and did not make any more noise, she believed that Axel Feng would distinguish between right and wrong and would not let Rorey act as the female first in the movie.
Only after a long time, Axel Feng’s voice came out, “Rosiley, I’m sorry, it was me who took it too much for granted. The spirit of adventure has to be there, but it’s not about taking risks by smashing my own reputation, so to use Rorey’s offer you can forget, I ever mentioned it.”
Axel Feng’s reasoning gave Rosiley a big sigh of relief, “Director Feng, thank you for your understanding.”
Axel Feng’s cheerful laughter came from the other side of the phone, “Rosiley, I should be the one to thank you for bringing me to my senses. Actually, I couldn’t argue with my wife before I got that crazy idea, but now even if my wife is angry, I won’t joke with my career.”
Rosiley knew that Axel Feng was known for spoiling his wife, and if this proposal was instigated by his wife, then there might be no getting out of it with Rorey.
Rosiley believe that Axel Feng should also be well aware of this matter, so she did not pierce it, and only said implicitly, “Director Feng, some people have ulterior motives, so let your wife have less contact.”
Axel Feng was silent, “Mm, I know.”
The two of them chatted a few more sentences about the matter of the movie before ending the call.
As soon as they hung up the phone, Rosiley took out the list of candidates that she had previously compiled for the selection of actress.
There were a few on the list that resembled Eain Qin’s temperament, but lacked the aura that Eain Qin possessed.
This was exactly what was needed for the first female role in this movie.
Rosiley frowned with a bit of a headache.
Since tomorrow was the movie’s opening press conference, in addition to casting the first woman, she also had to talk to the other person’s financial company, so this looming matter would really be annoying.
In the end, thinking about it, she simply called the agents of each of the actors on the list, asking side-by-side if they had any recent schedules.
After ruling out the actors with no schedules, she was left with one or two who had schedules, but none of them fit her image of the first female role.
Was she just going to settle for that?
This was the Regal and TEG’s first collaboration and the first project she was in charge of, and she didn’t want to make the grade too ugly.
She couldn’t think of a way out, so she had to call Sachin for a distress call.
There Sachin was having a meeting with a few group executives, and when his phone vibrated and he saw the caller ID, he immediately paused the meeting, picked up his phone and walked out of the conference room.
“Rosiley, what’s wrong?” He picked up the phone as he strode towards his office.
“Sachin, are you busy?”
There came Rosiley’s careful inquiry, Sachin’s lips overflowed with a shallow smile, warmly saying, “Not busy.”
Rosiley tightly gripped the phone, pursing her lips, and there was hesitation in her look.
To be honest, movie casting this kind of small thing but also to give him trouble, she was really embarrassed to open this mouth.
There was silence on the other side of the phone, in the meantime, Sachin’s sword eyebrows, “Rosiley, what’s wrong?”
“Sachin,” some timid voice finally sounded.
“Well, I’m in.”
“I’d like to ask you a favor.”
“You name it.” Sachin walked over to the boss chair and sat down, turning on the computer.
“It’s just that I want your opinion on the new movie.”
The new movie? He was not sure if she’s ready for the preliminary work. All that’s left was a kick-off press conference and then it’s official filming.
Why did she still need his ideas?
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
There was silence there again for a moment, and then she told him the whole story.
“So, are you asking me to give you a recommendation for a female first choice?” Sachin asked directly after hearing the question.
“Hmm. I can’t really think of anyone else in the entertainment industry who is suitable for this role.”
From her voice, it could be heard that she was really annoyed.
Sachin was silent for a moment, then asked, “Beginnings, does this movie have to need the current popular star to appeal to the box office?”
“Don’t need it?”
Sachin laughed lightly, “Actually with Director Feng’s reputation, the box office is already guaranteed, then you can try to pick from the B list, no matter if it’s a movie or a drama, the most important thing is the fit between the actor and the character, as long as the actor’s acting skills are available, the response will usually not be bad.”
Although that was true, she still felt it was too risky, “What if the box office is bad because of this?”
“Then consider it your tuition.”
This was supposed to be the first collaboration with the TEG for her sake, so he didn’t care if the investment would pay off.
His words touched Rosiley, but touching as they were, it was too high of a tuition for her, and that was all the more reason not to screw it up.
Sachin had said that she could choose actors who were relatively unknown but could act, so she had even more options.
She rehashed her list, and in the end she chose someone, an actress who not only had some similarities to Eain Qin’s temperament, but also had a clear aura – Leila Shen.
When Leila Shen received a call from Rosiley and learned that she was going to be invited to make a movie, she agreed to do it without saying a word.
Leila Shen’s promise finally solved Rosiley’s urgent need.
Hanging up the phone, Rosiley leaned back against the back of the chair and breathed a long sigh of relief, finally solved.
It was all thanks to Sachin’s offer.
She thought about it, and then sent a message to Sachin: Sachin, thank you for your help, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight.
Soon she received a reply: good.
The company had been in the process of developing the new product for the past few years and had been working on the new product for a long time.
