for Advance Chapter
Cheng Xiaodong took the initiative to say, "Mr. Chen, I think Maggie Q is more suitable. After all, she has a certain acting foundation, and she is more in line with the image in our movie. Although she still has a strong exotic style, she should be more Asian, which can better cater to the Asian market. As for Lei Shan and Anya, I think we can let them play the supporting actress role."
Maggie Q showed a look of joy on her face, looked at Cheng Xiaodong with gratitude, and then cast her expectant gaze at Chen Hao. She knew that Chen Hao was the one who could ultimately decide her fate.
She has been in Hong Kong for quite some time, but has never had a good opportunity. Although the movie Naked Weapon is more adult-oriented, it has the potential to become a hit. If she can become a popular new star in Asia with this movie, she will naturally have a steady stream of film and television resources in the future, and her life will become better and better. This is why she came to Hong Kong, just to get rid of her current poverty.
Being a celebrity is undoubtedly the fastest way to make money anywhere. The young girl really wants to be famous and make more money!
So the heroine role in Naked Agent is undoubtedly an opportunity for her.
Chen Hao smiled without saying anything, tapping his fingers lightly on the edge of the table. "Don't you think Lei Shan is more suitable to play the leading female role?"
Maggie Q and Lei Shan's expressions changed at the same time, the former was pale with fright, while the latter was surprised and a little surprised.
Although she is not short of money, she doesn't mind enjoying the glamorous life of a big star.
Moreover, her purpose of wanting to take part in this movie was not simple. She had seen a photo of Hong Kong actor Daniel Wu in an advertisement before and thought he had a great figure. She heard that he might be the male lead of this movie, so she wanted to give it a try to see if she could play a small role in this movie, and at the same time satisfy her wish of wanting to get in touch with Daniel Wu.
"Mr. Chen, if you think Lei Shan is suitable to play the leading role because she is pretty, I have to correct you. Lei Shan has no acting experience. In comparison, Maggie Q has much richer acting experience. Moreover, there will be some revealing shots in the movie. Miss Lei Shan, you probably can't accept it, right?" Cheng Xiaodong glanced at Lei Shan.
A look of hesitation appeared on Lei Shan's delicate and bright face. If there were too many exposed shots, she really couldn't accept it in her heart. It was said that in the Naked Agent movie, Cheng Xiaodong wanted very large-scale shots, which made her very hesitant.
Seeing Lei Shan's hesitation, Maggie Q's eyes lit up, as if she still had a chance.
"What does it matter? We can just use a substitute when the time comes." Chen Hao smiled and said indifferently.
"Yes, we can use a substitute." Lei Shan smiled brightly, and she also agreed with Chen Hao's point of view.
Wang Jing smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Chen, using a body double really won't be as effective. What we just said is one of the selling points, that is, real people have to be in the battle to attract the audience's attention!"
Chen Hao smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, I'm the biggest investor in this movie. Can't I even decide who will play the leading female role?"
A trace of sadness flashed across Maggie Q's cool and pretty face. If Chen Hao, the biggest investor, firmly disagreed with her playing the leading female role, the leading female role that was about to be in her hands might really be wasted.
"Mr. Chen, you didn't even give me a chance to audition and you think I'm not suitable. Doesn't this seem a bit unfair?" Maggie Q suppressed her anger and forced a smile.
"I just like Lei Shan to play the leading female role, okay?" Chen Hao acted like a cynical second-generation rich kid, not taking the investment seriously at all. He looked at Lei Shan with a smile and said, "I think Lei Shan is prettier, more popular with the audience, and more suitable for the leading role in Naked Agent. I've read the script, and Lei Shan has the upper hand in both height and appearance."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Lei Shan thanked him in broken Cantonese.
"You're welcome. A good actor like you shouldn't be buried." Chen Hao praised.
"Actor, do I really have a talent for acting?" Lei Shan smiled charmingly with her deep and charming facial features. She had no confidence at first, but after hearing what Chen Hao said, she gained some confidence in her acting skills.
Wang Jing and Cheng Xiaodong looked at each other and couldn't help but sigh. If they had known earlier, they would not have called Lei Shan. If Lei Shan hadn't come, Chen Hao would naturally not be interested in Lei Shan.
However, Chen Hao's performance just now made them feel that Chen Hao was just a rich playboy who had too much money and had no place to spend it, so he invested casually and didn't care whether he made money or not.
Moreover, Wong Jing had already rejected Media Asia before, and it is obviously unrealistic to ask Media Asia to invest again now. The time is delayed again and again, and the project may even be stillborn.
If Chen Hao really insisted on using Lei Shan to play the leading female role, they would have no choice but to agree. As for her acting skills, they would have to hone them bit by bit.
The rest of the dinner was spent with Chen Hao and Lei Shan. He was very enthusiastic and humorous towards this mixed-race beauty, and he often made Lei Shan smile sweetly and tremble.
