Chapter 271

"The preliminary review and filing have all been completed."

"You could say everything is ready, only the east wind is lacking..."

"So you did all that behind my back?" Qin Jie instantly flew into a rage.

"As Su Meng's agent, am I just supposed to lie here and count the money?"

"Wait! What money are we talking about!"

"With only three days, what kind of mess can you possibly shoot?"

"Two million... that's my private savings..."

That's my private savings... how did it become yours?

Duan Jiangping's heart also let out a wail of despair.

"Wait! You just said there's an opportunity to make big money?"

"What opportunity? I'm going to earn back that two million!"

Duan Jiangping instantly perked up.

"We'll make the first wave of profit from product placement!"

"The characters in it will frequently cosplay anime characters!"

"Whoever pays more, they wear that brand!"

"Su Meng has already given the clothing style; you just negotiate accordingly."

"Are you stupid or am I stupid?" Qin Jie looked at him as if he were an idiot.

"A broken movie shot in just three days, which ACG chamber would be that stupid?"

Duan Jiangping let out a long sigh, his face full of melancholy, clearly lacking confidence as well.

"Su Meng said, if they don't agree, then... a bet!"

"This script... hiss..."

Boss Yang quickly read through the script and was instantly startled.

Liu Tianxian's expression also turned serious.

"Although this story is simple, it is very complete, and the theme is quite good."

"If shot well, it will at least be above the level of a premium production!"

"But three days... isn't that a waste?"

Several pairs of eyes turned toward Su Meng at the same time.

"What are those looks? Do you trust me so little?"

Su Meng rolled his eyes at them and said in a bad mood.

Deng Ziqi is a singer and couldn't really tell the quality of the script.

After reading the script once, she instantly grew anxious.

"Hey, hey, hey... Su Meng, didn't you say I have a role too?"

"I flipped through it, and it seems all the roles are taken."

"What about me? Am I going to be an extra?"

"Or did you forget about me entirely?"

Su Meng chuckled and said lightly.

"How could I forget you? I've actually reserved an important role for you!"

"Really?" Deng Ziqi flipped through the script again, looking puzzled.

"There isn't one, is there?"

"The female lead is Tianxian'er, the second female lead is Lord Qianzhi, and for the protagonist team you arranged Xiao Ying, Beibei, and Tata."

"The first female villain, Zheng You'en, is played by Boss Yang, and her sidekick is played by Reba."

"Isn't the rest just extras?"

Not only her, but everyone else wore expressions of curiosity.

It seemed there really wasn't a role suitable for Deng Ziqi.

Su Meng smiled slightly and said lightly.

"Didn't you notice? The second male lead doesn't have an actor yet!"

What the heck?

An incredible thought suddenly rose in Deng Ziqi's heart.

She pointed at her own nose, looking utterly incredulous, and her speech even became a bit stuttering.

"Are you saying... let me play... the second male lead?"

"Yes." Su Meng nodded as if it were the most natural thing, explaining patiently.

"Look, the second male lead requires excellent piano skills; your piano skills are undeniable, right?"

"And the second male lead just needs to look cool; the demand for acting skills isn't high."

"Looking at it this way, you playing this second male lead is simply perfect!"

Everyone present was stunned.

Deng Ziqi was even more doubtful of life itself.

"Perfect?"

"Didn't you notice the most unsuitable point?"

"That's the second male lead! Male!"

"And me? I'm a woman from head to toe, physically and psychologically, got it?"

"You call that appropriate?"

Boss Yang instinctively reached out and touched Su Meng's forehead.

"No fever, then why are you talking such nonsense?"

"Deng Ziqi is a girl; how can she play a man?"

"Why not?" Su Meng retorted directly.

"Just put on some makeup."

"Aren't you women best at makeup?"

"Turning a woman into a man shouldn't be hard, right?"

Not... hard?

The group was instantly stunned speechless.

Do you have some misunderstanding about makeup?

That's makeup! Not transformation! And certainly not sex change!

You want to turn a living girl into a smelly man with makeup?

Your brain must be fried.

Seeing their expressions, Su Meng shook his head slightly.

"Forget it, you all start table-reading the script first."

"I know a bit about makeup too; I'll do Deng Ziqi's makeup first, then take a costume photo later."

Saying this, he grabbed Deng Ziqi and walked off.

Deng Ziqi hadn't come to her senses yet and instinctively followed him out.

In the live stream, everything had completely exploded.

"???? Did I hear wrong? Su Meng wants Deng Ziqi to play the second male lead?"

"Hahaha, I knew it; Su Meng never makes a movie properly, here he goes pulling stunts again!"

"Su Meng says he knows makeup? A thing even I, a woman, don't understand, can he understand it?"

"I'm dying of laughter; how did Su Meng's brain open up like that?"

This train of thought is truly invincible; couldn't you just find a male actor to solve the problem? Why mess around like this?"

"Deng Ziqi is in for it; who knows what she'll be turned into."

"I have a bold guess: do you think Su Meng is pranking these people under the guise of making a movie?"
