Chapter 378 Deciding The Heroine
Until now, Melinda was still in a trance. She didn't expect that Jonas would agree to her request so easily.
At that time, she even began to think whether she was too selfish and didn't care about how worried Jonas was. She found many reasons to comfort herself, but in the end, Jonas asked Ted to deal with it immediately.
It didn't take long for the staff of the crew to know that the director had been changed to Melinda.
Melinda had no fame, no systematic study, and no experience in this respect. However, she just became the director.
Worried that Melinda couldn't handle it alone, Jonas asked Ted to get two assistant directors to help her. One of them was professional and could teach Melinda some systematic knowledge.
The other one was rich in experience and varied in style, which could better teach Melinda how to deal with these things in practice. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
The director's work was not simple. They had a lot of things to do. Sometimes in the crew, they were like a mother.
But Melinda was a little different, because of her identity, there was no need to worry about the sponsorship. The scriptwriter was herself, and the working place was in this company.
Even so, it was inevitable for Melinda to be busy. She was very concerned about this matter, and was willing to study hard. She almost devoted herself to the work of the director.
Although Jonas didn't feel well and felt that Melinda had less and less time to accompany him, these thoughts would disappear in an instant when he saw the smile on her face.
After Melinda became the director, Victor was not surprised at all and even laughed at her that Melinda was his superior now.
"We have to settle the casting as soon as possible. It's already a waste of time in the casting." This was exactly what Melinda told Victor after she got the power. Although the director flattered her before, it was unknown that he had received the benefit of that company or not.
He had always spoken for a female star and said how that woman was suitable. Therefore, Melinda had not decided who played the leading role of the play.
But Melinda had also considered the person recommended by the director, but she really didn't like that actress at all. She had a plastic surgery on her face, and she was so pretentious.
If such a person joined the group, Melinda thought it would only be endless trouble.
"Well, although there are many rich and powerful sponsor, we can't waste time like this." Victor nodded in agreement with a mischievous tone. This was probably the most invested crew this year.
If other crew got the money, they would probably have made an appointment to shoot. Unlike them, they were still in the selection stage.
Hearing this, Melinda felt a little helpless. Then she told Victor that she had a candidate for the heroine in her heart.
"Who is it?" Although Victor appreciated Melinda very much, he still maintained his serious and rigorous attitude in work.
"She is in the entertainment circle, but not an actress," Melinda said. She thought she was going to be scolded to death.
The director let a singer to be the heroine. The main character was not a well-known actress. And people would thought that Melinda took a lot of money to play house.
Melinda even thought about the words that those natizens would say.
"A singer?" As smart as Victor was, he instantly understood the difference. Then he searched in his mind and found that there were some singers who were suitable for the heroine.
Melinda nodded. She decided not to tell Victor until everything was settled.
"I have some personal affairs with her. I will contact her tonight. Let's see other supporting roles first," said Melinda. The protagonist was very important, but the supporting role could not be ignored.
Everyone's appearance had its own reason. If they were brought by like a child's play, it would be disrespectful.
Victor didn't feel embarrassed. He nodded and began to discuss this matter with Melinda.
Later, Melinda made an appointment with Jessica. She didn't tell her real purpose, so Jessica thought it was a date between friends. After asking her agent to make an appointment, she went to see Melinda.
At the first sight of Jessica, Melinda was still amazed, which made her feel that no one was more suitable for this role than Jessica.
"Are you alone?" Melinda cast a glance at Jessica and asked in confusion.
"You didn't say that I can take a friend with me?" Jessica said in confusion. It was not until then that Melinda realized that she hadn't made it clear when she asked Jessica out. She smiled sheepishly.
Recently, her face was a little fleshy, and her smile was softer.
Looking at her, Jessica felt that she was covered with an aura of a mother.
"He seems to have grown a lot," Jessica said in surprise. It seemed that all her friends had gotten married and gotten pregnant, she couldn't help but want to have a try.
"Right." Melinda touched her belly and talked with Jessica about her daily life. Then she realized that she had something important to talk with her today.
"Jessica, do you know that I'm going to shoot a TV play of my novel?" Melinda asked. She looked at her expectantly. Hearing her words, Jessica smiled and said that she would pay attention to it when she was free.
"I'm a director now," Melinda said. After all, many people would feel strange if she said that, but she didn't feel stressed at all when it came to Jessica.
Although Jessica felt strange, she sincerely expressed her wishes and worries. Now that Melinda's belly was heavy, she worried that could she handle the intensity of her work.
"Don't worry. I won't force myself. I came to you today for this matter. I want to invite you to participate in this play and become my heroine,"
Melinda said seriously. She was not joking, but really hoped that Jessica could get involved in the play.
Because she thought that Jessica was the most suitable person.
Upon hearing this, Jessica was taken aback. Then she remembered what Melinda had said at the beginning, perhaps, Melinda had thought that her agent would also come, so she could talk about it.
"But isn't Alice determined to win this role?" Since Jessica had paid attention to the news, she knew that Alice was coveting the heroine.
Although she was famous in the entertainment industry, she was a singer and rarely cared about the acting industry. Moreover, if she took the role of Alice rashly, she would offend the people of the Puppet
entertainment company.
Jessica had some misgivings.
"Don't worry. I won't make trouble for you. I've made it clear to Alice and she will consider the main supporting role,"
Melinda explained with a smile. Hearing that, Jessica thought it was also a challenge and could help Melinda, so she agreed without hesitation.
"Don't you need to tell your agent?" said Melinda. She had thought that her agent would also come today and they could have a talk about it directly.
"Don't worry. This is your play, and it's a big production. I'll handle it well with the agent. If it doesn't work, we can buy her off with a reward. Anyway, you have invested a lot in your play,"
Jessica joked. Her words amused Melinda. She thought for a while and found it reasonable.
As a vigorous and resolute person, Jessica borrowed the computer from the tea bar to sign the contract with Melinda.
In this way, Melinda had settled another thing, and she believed that the play would be better and better.
The heroine had been decided, and then the hero had to be talked about. It was really difficult for Melinda, and Victor had provided a lot of information.
However, in Melinda's heart, the image of the hero was very special, and none of these people she thought highly of.
"The director is a freshman. The heroine is also a freshman in the acting circle. We doesn't have to care about whether the hero is famous or not. What we want is the right one," said Melinda. The crowd didn't know how to refute her.
Originally, they all thought that cast would be very luxurious with such an investment, but they didn't expect that it would end up like this.
The basic job of these staff was to collect information and find a suitable actor, and these materials needed to be reviewed by Melinda.
There were a lot of complicated documents, but it was not troublesome for Melinda to read them carefully.
"Let me recommend a person to you. He is not a newcomer. He has been in the business circle for many years, but his career has been very smooth."
"His career has been very smooth", which meant he was not famous. As an experienced actor, it could be said that it was difficult for him to stand out in his life.
But Melinda didn't care about it at all and asked Victor to recommend him.
The reason why Victor noticed this man was that he had a good role recently and had made some progress in his acting career.
The man he recommended was a good actor, Felix Song. Although Melinda couldn't tell who he was, she could feel familiar from the photo.
Perhaps, this was the good, experienced actor.
"The shape fits the hero well. Send me his information. I'll check it now," Melinda said to Victor. She had to wear radiation proof clothes every day to avoid radiation.
So when Melinda looked at the documents, she had to print them out. In order to protect her eyes, Jonas had asked them to print the words bigger.
In this way, a thick pile of printed information was frightening.
The materials arranged by Victor were very perfect. After finding a comfortable posture, Melinda began to read them.
