Although Bai Yu’s actions were extremely underhanded, Long Xing and Lu Yiling both had to admit that there was nothing wrong with her analysis.
Yes, they would gain popularity from featuring in ‘The Forensic Concubine’, but…they no longer lacked popularity. What they needed now was acknowledgment, and working overseas was the best way to put them in an advantageous position. After working overseas, they would be international superstars. By then, it would be hard to imagine how many levels their careers would have advanced.
So, they rejected the auditions for ‘The Forensic Concubine’.
Causing them to no longer have any suitable male lead candidates.
Eric and Emma were perfectionists. Even if they had no choice but to settle for second best, they would try their best to aim for perfection rather than casually picking someone to take the role.
…
7pm. Eric returned home to find Emma cooking dinner in the kitchen. He immediately approached her from behind and hugged her.
“Why are you so tired? Are you worried that I don’t have a male lead to act with?”
“Kaleidoscope’s not at the point where they can’t even find a male lead,” Eric replied in a deep voice.
“Then, why don’t you look happy?”
“I want to give you the best.”
In the blink of an eye, Emma put down the pot in her hands and turned around to face Eric, “If you truly want to give me the best, I think I have the most suitable person in mind. I’m just not sure whether you would agree to it.”
Eric looked deep into Emma’s eyes and roughly guessed what she was thinking, but he shook his head, “I can’t act.”
“Don’t lie. Grandfather already told me that you could ages ago…” Emma immediately reb**ted. “I’ve spoken to grandfather. If you’re willing to film this drama, grandfather will return temporarily to manage Kaleidoscope. You don’t need to worry about the operations at Kaleidoscope.”
“I’ve never thought about doing something like this. My heart is resistant to it,” Eric replied honestly.
In the end, Emma nodded her head and said comfortingly, “It’s fine. If you don’t want to do it, then forget about it. We will find someone else. I just think it’s a shame. I’m sure you would pleasantly surprise everyone in your ancient look. It’s too bad you don’t like it.”
Eric did not say a word as he gripped Emma’s hand tighter.
“It’s fine. It’s honestly fine. It’s my fault for forcing you to do something that you don’t want to.”
“I wouldn’t go that far. How about I promise you that if we really can’t find a male lead, I’ll be the substitute.”
“How could you be considered as a substitute…?” Emma refuted.
“But, I really can’t act…”
Emma thought for a moment and nodded her head, “Fine, I guess there’s finally something that Mr. Roborts can’t do…”
But…deep down, she didn’t believe him at all!
Luke compiled a new list of male candidates and placed them on Eric’s desk. He also placed the one’s that he personally thought were the most suitable on top.
“While selecting these actors, I came across one that is slightly arrogant, but has decent acting. His name is Huangfu Shuo. He looks like a typical rich heir type and is similar to the type of actor we are after. Although he is quite reckless, he has never made any major mistakes. Perhaps, we can train him a little. Most importantly, he is quite an interesting character…”
Eric fl*pped open Huangfu Shuo’s portfolio and asked Luke, “Have you contacted him?”
“Yes I have. His manager said he is currently having a break, but he is ready to commence work at anytime,” Luke nodded.
“Let me see his previous works and help me find more information on him. It’s best if you be as comprehensive as possible,” Eric instructed in a deep voice as he threw aside the portfolio.
“I’ve already made preparations. His information is on your left. You can take a look at it when you have time. Most importantly, this actor isn’t easy to invite. If the President acts on it personally, I’m sure you will be able to succeed.”
In some respects, Luke quite liked Huangfu Shuo’s unrestrained character.
This male artist simply relied on his talent to survive and didn’t have much of an ambition. But, whenever he was working, he was extremely dedicated to his work. The only problem was, he was quite flirtatious and often tried to gain cheap verbal pleasure from actresses.
Luke had seen a few of Huangfu Shuo’s interviews. They were generally good and did not humiliate his identity as an actor.
But, most importantly, he had a complex relationship with Bai Yu…
“He is indeed interesting…”
“Huangfu Shuo has no faults, everything he does depends on his mood. He hates it when people try to flatter him and prefers the excitement of a challenge,” Luke explained seriously.
“Meet with his manager and discuss our cooperation. Most importantly, arrange an audition for Huangfu Shuo.”
Eric had heard of this actor. He was often involved with scandalous gossip, but it never scared him. He simply continued minding his own business in the industry. But, he did have one notable feature: his approach to acting. His professionalism was no less than any of the big name actors.
Of course, if Kaleidoscope wanted to use an actor like this, it was quite a big risk.
One wrong move and the entire production would fall apart.
But, who were they dealing with?
He was Eric.
As long as he was in the industry, there was nothing he couldn’t control.
…
“Have you guys heard that ‘The Forensic Concubine’ still hasn’t found a male lead yet?”
The crew of ‘Concubine Emma’ gossiped during their spare time. But, their tone obviously showed that they were taking pleasure in others misfortune. After all, they were competitors and Emma had rejected them in front of everyone. So, due to their childish nature, they couldn’t help but laugh as soon as they heard that the progress of ‘The Forensic Concubine’ was at a standstill.
“After insulting someone, she deserves retribution. This is what you call karma.”
“Emma is so arrogant, let’s see what she’ll do this time. I heard both male lead candidates rejected the role. How satisfying!”
“How could a r*bbish production like that be compared to us?”
As Bai Yu finished filming, she overheard the staff gossiping and couldn’t help but smile. This was exactly her intent.
Afterwards, Bai Yu and her assistant left the studio and returned to the hotel organized by the crew. But, when she thought about how she previously yelled at her sister, she decided to give her a phone call to apologize.
But, unexpectedly, the person to pick up the phone was a man.
“Who are you?”
On the other side of the phone, as soon as the man heard Bai Yu’s voice, he immediately hung up. Bai Yu thought it was a man that Bai Linlin had met while fooling around, so she called again, “She’s absolutely hopeless!”
“Yu Jie, don’t be angry, Linlin is still small.”
“Small…?” Bai Yu returned disappointedly to her hotel room without having any suspicions towards the male voice that was on Bai Linlin’s phone.
After having a shower, Bai Yu gave her husband a phone call. The couple said good night to each other as usual and Bai Yu quickly fell asleep afterwards. But, she had no idea that the man she trusted with all her heart, was currently heading to a hotel with his arms around her drunk sister.
“Brother-in-law, you’re so handsome…Brother-in-law.”
Bai Linlin wasn’t in her right mind, but her subconscious still knew who she was with.
The man leaned Bai Linlin against his shoulder. After pulling out the room card, he helped Bai Linlin into the room and placed her on the bed…
“Linlin…do you like me?”
Bai Linlin wr*pped her arm around the man’s neck and laughed out loud, “Yes, I like you. But, I don’t like it when you are nice to my sister…”
“How about I treat you nice from now on?”
The man asked seductively.
