Chapter 2349: Chapter 2348: This Role Is Impossible to Play
But now he’s actually doing something so shameless?
Nangong Lin stared at his big hand, a little dazed, while the meeting room was filled with noise.
Nangong Lin finally came to her senses and couldn’t help withdrawing her hand, "Mr. Alvin, please be serious. We are at work now! Please don’t discuss non-work-related things."
"Oh." Alvin nodded, also not arguing.
"Then let’s start discussing the roles." The staff, sweating, took the opportunity to hand over the script and introduced, "Here are your role scripts, along with the director team list. The director is on the way, caught in a bit of traffic, should be here soon; you can take a look first."
"Okay." Nangong Lin took the script and began to study it carefully.
She was too embarrassed to look at Alvin’s script, so she glanced at Zheng Huayu’s script and leaned over to ask, "Xiaoyu, what role are you playing?"
Zheng Huayu moved his script a bit towards her and politely said, "Sister Xiaolin, I’m playing a scientist."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Lin felt as if she had been struck by lightning, what the hell?
Scientist!!!!!
Who’s playing the robot then?
Is it Alvin?
Oh, come on.
Nangong Lin looked at Alvin in confusion, while Alvin smiled gently and innocently, as if it was only natural, "Yes, I’m playing the robot this time."
Nangong Lin: "..."
Damn it, are you doing this on purpose!
How can Alvin play a robot?
This is obviously not suitable!
Were the roles assigned arbitrarily?
Putting aside her relationship with Alvin, from a professional perspective, Nangong Lin was instantly furious, angrily tossing the script onto the table, "Did you even think when assigning roles? Just because he’s a prince, you gave him the role of a robot? He’s a prince, but he’s a foreigner. Don’t you think two foreigners in a film romance feels out of place?"
Nangong Lin’s words were quite reasonable, visually it does feel awkward, it just feels odd!
But Zheng Huayu, although also a foreigner, is mixed-race with a quarter of Empire blood. Except for his more profound eyes, his appearance is closer to that of an Empire person, thus avoiding that discordant feeling.
Now why make Alvin the choice?
Alvin’s skin is a bit darker compared to Empire people, his hair is brown, and his eyes are brown. Even though he’s handsome as heck, he undeniably looks foreign!
Pairing a famous Empire actress with a foreign man in a romance, isn’t this a mismatch?
No matter how you look at it, it seems strange, at least that’s what Nangong Lin thought.
After her outburst, the staff looked at each other, not because of her anger, but because she had a point.
But the director hadn’t said anything to the staff about how to handle this discordant feeling.
So the staff could only say, "Sister Xiaolin, please calm down, the director is coming soon, let’s see what he says?"
"No need to see, this film can’t be done." Nangong Lin crossed her arms, "Either change the roles or find a foreign actress to match with him."
What Nangong Lin said is the truth. Even though in real life she could marry Alvin, not caring about ethnic differences, this is acting, and it would totally take people out of the story, okay?
So it’s really unworkable.
Facing Nangong Lin’s anger, Alvin didn’t bother to argue, nor was he angry, because what Nangong Lin said was true and showed her dedication to work.
He was also keen to hear the director’s thoughts on how to address this discordance and make the audience feel it’s all natural.
