"Wh...what?"
Feng Xiaoxia was stunned when he heard Xu Lu's words.
What does it mean to say, "How many main roles do you think I should play?"
You have to understand that in the past, whether or not someone would play a leading role was entirely up to President Xu, and Feng Xiaoxia only had the opportunity to offer suggestions.
But often, suggestions are useless, since President Xu has his own plans anyway.
But to Feng Xiaoxia's surprise, Mr. Xu actually asked for her opinion this time.
This is the first time ever!
Thinking of this, Feng Xiaoxia quickly offered his suggestion:
"Mr. Xu, I think it would be better if you played three main roles. After all, audiences like to see you in leading roles, and it would be very beneficial for the box office!"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xu Lu glared at him irritably and said:
"Isn't that obvious? If I could act, I wouldn't mind playing four or five main characters, let alone just three."
But the situation is a bit complicated. Let me put it this way: in the plots of these three scripts, there is interaction between the main characters.
For example, in the movie 'God of Gamblers', there are essentially two male leads, let's call them A and B.
In the movie 'God of Gamblers', there is a scene that pays homage to 'God of Gamblers', which the protagonist refers to as C.
In the movie 'God of Gamblers II', it also features two male leads, except the main characters are now B and C…
Feng Xiaoxia's eyes widened, and it took him a while to process all the information before he said:
"Mr. Xu, do you mean that you can only play the lead role in a maximum of two of these three movies?"
If you play the lead role B, then you can play the roles of 'God of Gamblers' and 'God of Gamblers II'.
If you're playing the lead role (C), then you could play both 'God of Gamblers' and 'God of Gamblers II,' is that a fair understanding?
"Your understanding is correct."
Xu Lu nodded and said:
"So now I'm a little hesitant about which of the three roles, A, B, and C, to choose."
There is one more point to consider.
That means the three movies also have a specific order: first 'God of Gamblers,' then 'Saint of Gamblers,' and finally 'God of Gamblers II.'
Hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia was also a bit at a loss.
It took him a while to speak:
"Mr. Xu, what are your own plans?"
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"Personally, I would prefer to play the role of C, who is the protagonist of 'God of Gamblers' and one of the two protagonists of 'God of Gamblers II'."
But on the other hand, since 'God of Gamblers' is the first film in the series, I also wanted to play the role of A.
hiss!
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia immediately took a deep breath.
No wonder even President Xu was in a bit of a predicament, because satisfying all these requirements was truly a headache.
Feng Xiaoxia thought for a while before giving his suggestion, saying:
"How about... you play the lead role A first, and we'll do a makeover. When it's time for you to play C, we'll change your look."
Even though people have the same face, if their style and appearance are very different, they can still be distinguished…
"It seems like this is the only option now. Sigh, why did I even bring out three scripts?"
Xu Lu nodded and sighed, then suddenly said:
"How about we just shoot one movie this time? Xiaoxia, give me back the other two scripts!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia gripped the script in his hand tightly and said repeatedly:
"Mr. Xu, now that the script is written, it would be a waste not to film it."
"Besides, it's just a problem with the main character. Don't worry, the audience won't care about that. It's no problem..."
After Feng Xiaoxia's persuasion, Xu Lu finally nodded.
Seeing this, Feng Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself:
"You want to take back the scripts you've already given us? How could that be possible? You have to understand that these are scripts written by President Xu himself, and each one represents a box office hit."
Besides, we finally managed to get him to take out more notebooks this time, so there's no way we'd ask him to take them back.
As for the main character or anything like that, it's completely unimportant, okay? Don't even mention A, B, or C; even if they were all AAA, what difference would it make?
Feng Xiaoxia believes that as long as Mr. Xu plays the lead role in a film, a large audience will naturally buy tickets, so there is no need to worry too much.
Holding three scripts, Feng Xiaoxia walked out of the office with a smug look on his face, unable to hide his joy.
As a result, the title of our CEO Xu's new drama quickly spread throughout DaXu Culture.
Just like Feng Xiaoxia's reaction when he heard the name 'God of Gamblers', the people from Daxu Culture were also extremely surprised:
"God of Gamblers? Um... does this really have anything to do with anti-gambling public service announcements? Something feels off!"
"That's true. But I have to say, our CEO Xu has a really big imagination; he actually thought of this."
"By the way, if the film were titled 'God of Gamblers,' would it be inappropriate to participate in any public service film evaluation?"
"Uh... are you out of your mind? If it's about making money at the box office, then make money at the box office first. What's the point of all those awards?"
...
"I knew it! I was interested just from the title, and I'm sure other netizens felt the same way."
"It has to be Mr. Xu. Just the title alone is already very attractive. It's bound to be another blockbuster."
"Of course! Anything produced by President Xu is guaranteed to be of the highest quality!"
"I heard that Mr. Xu is going to play the male lead again. I wonder if there is a female lead in this film, and who they will cast?"
...
In fact, the artists in the artist department were even more concerned about this matter than the employees of Daxu.
Everyone knows that being able to act in Mr. Xu's movies is the beginning of a huge hit.
So when the artists heard that Xu Lu's new drama had been confirmed, they were naturally filled with anticipation:
"Has anyone found out anything about the new drama? Are there many characters in it?"
"I really hope to get a role in Director Xu's new film. Please!"
"I wonder who will be lucky enough to become the female lead this time, but if the movie is called 'God of Gamblers,' I have a feeling that there won't be many female characters!"
"That's true..."
...
Ordinary celebrities are discussing it.
Wang Zuxian, who had only recently become the female lead, was listening to her good friend talk about this matter.
"Hey, this is terrible. Mr. Xu's new drama is called 'God of Gamblers,' so there probably won't be a female lead."
Lin Xiaoxin felt a little sorry for her good friend and said.
Wang Zuxian, on the other hand, was much calmer. He smiled and said:
"If we don't get it this time, we don't get it. There will definitely be other opportunities in the future."
"You have such a great attitude!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxin was speechless.
Wang Zuxian smiled and said:
"What else? You don't think we can influence President Xu's decision, do you?"
Lin Xiaoxin was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Um...that's true, but it's a bit of a pity!"
