After being dumped by the diva, I was picked up by her arch-enemy.

Behind Chen Hao were three men.

As soon as these three people entered, the spacious and bright office was filled with a strong sense of local life.

Jiang Yichen stopped and looked at the three people.

The man walking at the front was a middle-aged man in his forties.

His face was weathered, his eyes were full of wrinkles, he wore a faded jacket, and he was awkwardly clutching a worn-out canvas bag in his hand.

He bears a striking resemblance to Bao Shihong, the character played by Guo Tao in a movie in my previous life.

Following behind him was a thin man with medium-length hair.

He was wearing a floral shirt and a thick fake gold necklace around his neck, his eyes revealing a cunning and self-important air.

Brother Dao, is that you, Brother Dao?

The last one was a young man with long hair. He was wearing tight jeans, chewing gum, looking around, and exuding the air of a street urchin.

It actually suits her dark skin tone quite well.

Jiang Yichen looked at these three oddballs and sighed inwardly.

Chen Hao has a really sharp eye for casting.

It's amazing that they were able to accurately pick out a few ordinary people from the vast sea of ​​people whose appearance and temperament were so perfectly suited to the script.

"Brother Jiang, let me introduce you."

Chen Hao pointed at the three people as if presenting a treasure.

"These actors were handpicked by me after searching through countless extras at major film and television bases in Beijing!"

"This is Guo Hai, who plays Bao Shihong."

"This is Liu Jun, also known as Brother Dao."

"This blond guy is called Wang Bo, he plays Hei Pi."

The three of them seemed a little reserved when they saw Jiang Yichen.

They were usually just extras on the fringes of film crews, and had never seen such a luxurious office and such a high-class boss.

Guo Hai quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang."

Liu Jun and Wang Bo also nodded and bowed repeatedly.

Jiang Yichen put down his coffee cup and nodded to them.

"Please make yourself at home, sit wherever you like."

He pointed to the sofa next to him.

The three of them carefully sat down on the edge of the sofa, not daring to sit properly.

Chen Hao moved closer to Jiang Yichen and lowered his voice.

"Brother Jiang, how's it going? How's my choice?"

Jiang Yichen was generous with his praise.

"Good choice. Are the other departments in the production team ready?"

Chen Hao nodded vigorously.

"All done!"

"The cameras, lighting, and sound equipment were all rented—the best of the best."

"The location for the filming has also been arranged. It's in the mountain city, there's an old tenement building that's about to be demolished, which perfectly matches the setting in the script."

"Everything is ready now, all that's left is to power it on!"

Jiang Yichen was very satisfied with the progress.

"Then let's set a date and get ready to start filming."

Chen Hao did not respond immediately.

He rubbed his hands together, his eyes darting around, and gave a dry chuckle.

"Brother Jiang, actually, there's another small problem."

Jiang Yichen glanced at him.

"explain."

Chen Hao swallowed hard and mustered his courage to speak.

"The actor for Mike, the top international assassin in the script, hasn't been decided yet."

Jiang Yichen frowned.

"Still no one chosen? Didn't you just say everything was ready?"

Chen Hao quickly explained.

"It's not that we can't find the right people, it's that I feel that ordinary actors simply can't portray Mike's cold and pretentious demeanor."

"Although this character doesn't have many lines, he has to be handsome and have that aura that keeps strangers at bay."

As Chen Hao spoke, he stared intently at Jiang Yichen.

The intention in his eyes couldn't be clearer.

Jiang Yichen felt uneasy under his gaze.

Why are you staring at me?

Chen Hao slapped his thigh suddenly.

"Brother Jiang! This role is practically tailor-made for you!"

Jiang Yichen refused outright.

"I won't act. I can't act in movies."

Whether in his past life or this one, he has never studied acting. He should just stick to making movies and short dramas. Why is he trying to get on the big screen?

Besides, he's working on a new album right now, so he doesn't have time to spend on set.

Chen Hao panicked and grabbed Jiang Yichen's arm.

"No, Brother Jiang!"

"Why can't you act anymore?"

"When we were filming 'ENEMY,' the look in their eyes and the way they moved were absolutely amazing!"

"It's completely natural!"

Jiang Yichen pulled his arm away, his tone resolute.

"That's a short video, how can it be the same as a theatrical film? Besides, it's also a natural performance, which is why the effect is slightly better."

Stop flattering him and go find someone else.

When Chen Hao realized that his tough approach wasn't working, he immediately started playing the victim.

He hung his head, his tone extremely pitiful.

"Brother Jiang, our movie didn't have a big budget to begin with, and the entire crew doesn't even have a single big name."

"If this movie were released directly, without any promotional hype, theaters definitely wouldn't give it any screenings."

Chen Hao looked up and stared longingly at Jiang Yichen.

"But if you participate, that's a different story!"

"As long as your name is on the poster, many fans will buy tickets to see you in the theater!"

"Our movie's box office success depends entirely on your face!"

Jiang Yichen felt a headache coming on as he looked at Chen Hao's shameless attitude.

What Chen Hao said was indeed the truth.

Although "Crazy Stone" had a solid script, it only gradually gained popularity in its previous life thanks to Andy Lau's investment reputation and Ning Hao's word-of-mouth.

The world today is full of amateur actors.

Without a star player who can carry the box office, the film could very well flop in the early stages.

Having invested several million dollars, I was hoping the film would do as well as possible.

Furthermore, seeing how well Chen Hao had chosen the main characters to match the original film, Jiang Yichen, who hadn't had high expectations for the movie, now had some hope.

Seeing that Jiang Yichen's attitude was softening, Chen Hao immediately seized the opportunity.

"Brother Jiang, Mike's character doesn't have many scenes!"

"At most, filming will only take three to five days before wrapping up."

"It definitely won't interfere with your music album production!"

"Besides, you only have a few lines, so most of the time you just need to wear sunglasses and look cool."

"Damn it, you could definitely deliver that line perfectly!"

Jiang Yichen rubbed his temples.

He looked at Chen Hao's expectant eyes, then at the three people sitting awkwardly on the sofa.

This group of people have pinned all their hopes on this movie.

Jiang Yichen sighed.

"Alright."

Chen Hao was stunned for two seconds, then burst into a pig-like cheer.

"It's done! Long live Brother Jiang!"

Chen Hao was so excited he almost jumped up and hugged Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen pushed her away dismissively.

"Alright, stop acting crazy and get back to work."

Chen Hao nodded repeatedly, then took out his phone and sent a file to Jiang Yichen.

"Don't worry, Brother Jiang, I'll prepare the best costumes and props for you."

"I'll definitely make you look incredibly handsome in the photos!"

Sitting on the sofa, Guo Hai and his two companions felt much more at ease seeing that their boss had actually taken part in the performance himself.

With such a big internet celebrity involved, this movie is bound to have at least one viewer.
