A new male lead so soon? Ninefold of Immortal Mountain isn’t a small production; it’s a 3-billion-dollar blockbuster. Not just anyone can play the leading man.
Even if they replace someone, they won’t be careless about it.
But with Louis Lawrence just resigning from the role, a replacement shows up immediately.
This isn’t as simple as it seems...
"Hmm, let’s go take a look first."
Bella Green said this and left the lounge.
When Bella Green arrived, Matthew Timberlake was discussing the script with a young man.
Looking at the man, Bella Green was momentarily surprised.
It turned out to be Margaret White...
Matthew Timberlake was facing her, saw her come over, and immediately waved his hand.
Bella Green walked over, looking at Margaret White with an amused smile.
Margaret White saw her, and even though he knew about her relationship with Mason Bennett, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.
After all, she was the first girl who slightly stirred his heart, to say there was no reaction at all, would be untrue.
Just unfortunate...
"I didn’t expect it to be Young Master White." Bella Green smiled.
Margaret White’s identity wasn’t exactly a secret in the circle, and Bella Green didn’t sugarcoat her words.
Margaret White smiled: "Bella, we meet again."
Matthew Timberlake raised an eyebrow, surprised: "You two know each other?"
Unlike Bella Green, Margaret White was not only the second young master of the White Family but also a very popular rising star in the entertainment industry.
Clearly not on the same level as Bella Green.
Bella Green glanced at Margaret White, thought for a moment: "You could say that."
They sort of knew each other, but weren’t close.
Margaret White kept staring at Bella Green with bright eyes, precisely because he knew Bella Green was the female lead that he accepted the role from Louis Lawrence without hesitation.
Matthew Timberlake breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, collaborating would probably be much smoother."
After saying this, he looked at Margaret White, although why, that look was especially...
Indescribable.
"Margaret, are you sure you’ve gone through the script?"
As for the original novel, he didn’t expect Margaret White to have read it, but at least he should have finished reading the script, right?
Upon hearing this, Margaret White immediately grinned, arrogant and smug.
"Script? I’m a fan of the original Ninefold of Immortal Mountain, I’ve read the book."
Hearing this, Matthew Timberlake’s previously anxious heart calmed a bit.
Hmm, he’s read the original, understood the character settings and plot development, that’s good.
Looks like there shouldn’t be a problem... right?
"Well, go get changed first." Matthew Timberlake said hesitantly.
After watching Margaret White leave, Bella Green found it a bit amusing and looked at Matthew Timberlake.
"Director Tan, you actually dare to use Margaret White?"
Ninefold of Immortal Mountain is a big IP and blockbuster. Matthew Timberlake has put a lot of work into it.
From the casting of the female lead, you can tell, although his personality is somewhat dull, he’s also a very serious person.
Margaret White indeed is quite popular, very popular...
But he’s purely a traffic star, with no connection to being a skilled actor.
As for his acting skills, they’re at the level of senselessly melodramatic high school web dramas.
Matthew Timberlake gave a wry smile: "We don’t have much choice, those who can really handle it can’t free up their schedules."
Those with real talent in the industry cherish their reputations, no one wants to take on too many projects simultaneously. Even if they know it’s a good script, they can’t make room for it.
As for Margaret White, he brought in funding...
Bella Green said nothing more and went to change into her costume.
When she came out, Margaret White was already dressed up.
Bella Green raised an eyebrow; not saying anything else, when Margaret White was just standing there without speaking or moving, he did have a bit of that leading man, Yusuf’s vibe.
But thinking of Margaret White’s painfully terrible acting skills, Bella Green kept her gaze fixed, observing silently.
"Then let’s shoot the additional scenes first, let you get familiar?" Matthew Timberlake said to Margaret White, unsure.
Margaret White smiled elegantly, holding himself with composure: "No problem."
