Chapter 596 - Changing Roles
Chapter 596: Changing Roles
“Hongyan Chance” was an adaptation of an old online novel. It had a number of metaphysical elements, such as the Queen of the Animals.
The story took place in an imaginary dynasty called the Rui Dynasty.
The hero was a punk who grew up in the countryside, but suddenly had a lot of people pursuing him when he grew up.
After that, he found out that he was actually a prince who had been replaced by an ocelot!
In order to escape his pursuers, he inadvertently entered a fantasy world.
In this world, he learned a lot of secret talents, commonly known as having a golden finger.
During the process of mastering his talents, he met a lot of beautiful women and a lot of like-minded friends.
With the help of these friends, he returned to the Rui Dynasty, and after some battles, reclaimed his identity.
This story was actually very pedestrian, without too many complicated or difficult ideas.
Jiang Shenghe chose to make this story because he wanted to make a purely commercial movie.
His personality was perfectionist and a little fussy, but he was not a man who treated money like dirt.
Over the years, the movie market had changed.
Because of the popularity of movie theaters and the audience’s change in mindset, more and more people went to the movies. Movies that were too deep in thought were critically acclaimed but not well received.
Jiang Shenghe had already won many awards before. He now wanted to change his taste and make a film that made money.
That’s why he chose this script.
In this story, there were handsome men and beautiful women, and there were losers who succeeded. There were all kinds of powerful talents, and the pace was light, so that people could watch while relaxing their minds and bodies.
Of course, Jiang Shenghe would not relax his requirements, even while making commercial movies. He still stuck to his position when it came to the selection of actors.
The male and female leads were young actors with acting skills. While they were not as popular as some viral stars, they had a lot of fans.
When Jiang Shenghe picked actors, he based it on instinct and the actors’ strength.
The reason why he chose Cui Tong was because, while her acting skills were not excellent, they were still usable. Additionally, the boss of Cui Tong’s company was once kind to him.
However, he didn’t expect Cui Tong to be more stubborn than he thought. She didn’t come to the opening ceremony yesterday, yet when she came today, she said she wanted to change her role?
How dare she?!
“Does she think I’m begging her to be here? That she can take whatever she wants?” Jiang Shenghe’s expression was cold, his eyes slightly narrowed. “Or that without her, I can’t make this movie?!”
Cui Tong was so used to being coddled by her fans that she really thought she was a heavenly maiden and everyone had to spoil her, didn’t she?
“Which role does she want to change to?”
When Xia Xibei asked this question, she already had a premonition.
“The Queen of Animals.”
Xia Xibei’s eyes widened. Surprisingly, it was true!
“But wasn’t her previous role really good?”
The Queen of the Animals was a level four role, but Cui Tong’s role was level three! The number of scenes were different too!
“Do you know why she wants to change her role?” Jiang Shenghe asked Xia Xibei with a sneer.
“Why?”
“Because the Queen of the Animals is the number one beauty!”
Xia Xibei and Pan Yan were dumbfounded.
“Just- Just for that?!”
It couldn’t be that funny, could it?
For the sake of the so-called number one beauty, Cui Tong wanted to change roles?!
Jiang Shenghe was also exasperated.
“They told me that I could either change the setting and turn Cui Tong’s role into the number one beauty, or I could change her role... Pfft!”
When Cui Tong’s agent had said this, he almost kicked them out. Who the hell gave them the nerve?!
