It was the new version of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
In the book, this movie had originally starred Bai Rong and a popular actor.
It was this movie that would allow Bai Rong to win the title of Best Actress in one fell swoop.!!
Who would have thought that Fang Mo’er would actually receive an invitation from this movie to be the female lead?
Fang Mo’er was very surprised.
“The director of this movie saw you act as Zhu Yingtai and expressed his admiration. So, he wants you to act in the female lead role,” Shen Yue said. “Even though this is a re-adaptation, the script has been written in a new way. If you act well, it might become another classic.”
Furthermore, there was no need for an audition. Fang Mo’er had already acted with Shi Mo in the scene with the characters of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
The image of Fang Mo’er dressed as a man was deeply rooted in people’s hearts.
Even till now, there were many fans who were calling for Fang Mo’er and Shi Mo to act in this classic love story together.
“Interesting.” Fang Mo’er flipped through the script and suddenly felt that it was very good.
When Shen Yue saw that Fang Mo’er was interested, she immediately said, “They are still waiting for our reply. I’ll inform them that we will accept this role.”
Fang Mo’er nodded.
Shen Yue immediately took her phone out and called the other party.
The director’s excited voice came from the other end.
“That’s great! We can sign the actor contract tomorrow.”
Shen Yue understood and said, “Director, with her as the female lead, you won’t have to worry about the box office earnings. The image of Fang Mo’er as Zhu Ying Tai is embedded deeply in many people’s minds.”
The director said, “I understand. You guys have really done me a great favor.”
The director had initially been nervous. After all, Fang Mo’er was so popular now. There were so many other jobs that she could accept.
For him, remaking this classic film had already been a very risky move from the start. After all, a classic was too deeply rooted in people’s hearts. It would be very difficult to break through.
However, Fang Mo’er’s participation now meant that the movie was already halfway to success.
After Shen Yue was flattered by the other side, she immediately hung up the phone in high spirits and said to Fang Mo’er, “We’ll sign the contract tomorrow morning.”
…
At the same time, on the top floor of a certain overseas building.
The second daughter of the Xue family, Xue Ni, was flipping through the information in her hands. The title of the information had the words “Fang Mo’er” written on it.
It contained all of Fang Mo’er’s information in it.
Fang Mo’er was the eldest daughter of the Fang family. She used to work in Mu Chen’s entertainment company as a songwriter.
After Mu Chen and Bai Rong had gotten together, Fang Mo’er had quickly left the company.
She had then even joined Shi Mo’s company.
Recently, she had acted in the TV drama “The High Monk, Please Follow Me” with Shi Mo. The two of them were currently hyping up their relationship as a couple.
Xue Ni frowned when she saw the live broadcast clip of Shi Mo taking the initiative to kiss Fang Mo’er.
It was being spread on the Internet that Shi Mo and Fang Mo’er were lovers.
However, Xue Ni refused to believe it. She was more willing to believe that the kissing scene between Shi Mo and Fang Mo’er had just been staged.
No matter what, she did not want to see such a person by Shi Mo’s side.
Whether or not Xue Ni could become the person in charge of the Xue family would depend on her marriage with Shi Mo.
After all, she was just the illegitimate daughter of the Xue family. All the companies in the country were controlled by the legitimate eldest daughter of the Fang family.
This made her very passive.
“Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?” Currently, Xue Ni was observing Fang Mo’er’s recent developments.
She was worried that after Fang Mo’er accepted this movie, the male lead would become Shi Mo.
This was something she did not want to see happen.
Immediately, Xue Ni made a call.
“I want to be the biggest investor in your film, but I have a request. The actress must be decided by me.”
The director had not expected such a blessing of wealth to appear and immediately nodded in agreement.
“Sure, as long as the actress’s acting skills are passable. However, I would still suggest that the female lead should be Fang Mo’er. After all, she is very suitable for this role.”
The director hastened to persuade her otherwise.
Xue Ni frowned and said, “No, I want Bai Rong to be the chosen one.”
Instantly, the director was stunned. “Bai Rong? Her reputation has been bad recently.”
“You don’t have to worry about her bad reputation. By the time the movie is released, the audience will have long forgotten about these things. We just need to promote her properly and give her a positive image.”
Xue Ni also had a sudden idea. After all, she had just seen that Fang Mo’er and Bai Rong were sworn enemies. The enemy of an enemy was a friend.
Xue Ni understood this point.
