Chapter 448
Was Richard going to act? Not only the director but even Pearl was stunned.
Pearl burst into laughter. “You’re going to act? Stop joking, Richard!”
“What are you laughing at?” Richard gazed deeply into Pearl’s eyes, his stare unwavering, and she suddenly stopped laughing. “This isn’t a joke. Just get the actor replaced Mister Derek…”
He then raised an eyebrow. “I’m willing to invest 15 million dollars. Can I join the production with my funding?”
The director, who was feeling gloomy, suddenly brightened up with joy. “Sure, Mister Richard. If you want to act, I can make a spot available, but…”
Richard frowned “What is it?”
“But it’s just a supporting role. I don’t know if you’re okay with that…”
Richard relaxed. “That’s fine.”
The actor who originally played the supporting role was fuming silently. He couldn’t compete with Richard’s wealth and looks in any way!
The director discreetly signaled him, and he left in disappointment.
Pearl suddenly felt uncomfortable. This was a campus romance drama, and Richard had to ditch his suits for a school uniform.
Seeing Richard in school uniform, radiating youthfulness, and outshining the lead actor, the director suddenly regretted his decision. “Mister Richard, how about you take the lead role? You’re overshadowing everyone else, which might not be ideal. for the production.
”
Not just Hanzel but even Esther was overshadowed by Richard’s radiance. The acting and looks of the supporting roles in this drama put the leads to shame.
Richard impatiently glanced at the awkward director and asked, “Is Pearl the female lead?”
The director was stunned. “No.”
“Then don’t ask me to.”
After Richard turned him down, the director approached Pearl. “The leads are being overshadowed. This might affect the production, Miss Pearl.”
Pearl smirked. “That shouldn’t be an issue. This drama is all about the chemistry. Who’s overshadowing whom, anyway?”
The director was speechless. At this point, he had no choice but to continue the shoot.
But shooting with a real couple was indeed easier, especially when it came to k*ssing scenes. Richard k*ssed Pearl passionately in all twenty-three k*ssing scenes, causing those around them to blush
The last scene took place in an ancient city, so they had to borrow the set from ‘The Melody of the West’ production.
“Considering the fight we had last time, I’m sure they won’t lend us the set.”
”
Pearl squinted. “Jenny’s in the hospital now, and they’re not even filming. There’s no reason for them to hog the public set.”
The director looked troubled. “But they rented the set first.”
“It’s alright, let me handle this.” Pearl gave her wrist a little stretch. “Well, the matter from last time hasn’t been resolved, and no one has apologized to us.”
Richard sheepishly asked, “Are you planning something again?”
Esther excitedly joined. “I’m coming with you, Pearl. Together, we’re an unbeatable team!”
