Chapter 127: Chapter 127 He Likes Xia Weibao
Xia Weibao talked until her lips were nearly falling off.
Xu Jiayang absolutely refused to agree, “Allure” was his life’s work, and he wouldn’t make a mess of it.
Even though they painted a very rosy picture.
“Director Xu, think about it, the role of Li Qingguo couldn’t possibly be completed by one person, but you did it. That’s something to be proud of.
It’s definitely a huge selling point, and even saves on advertising costs.
And besides, what kind of acting skills does Ruan Jiajia have? Can she compare with Shanshan?
Just give it a try. If it doesn’t work out, we can always hire another actor later.”
“I think you might need to go back to the mental hospital for a while,” Xu Jiayang said calmly.
Lose three hundred pounds in two months? Are you slicing pork, miss?
Xia Weibao was somewhat speechless, “Director, don’t you think Shanshan has lost some weight these past two days? I guarantee she can slim down within two months!”
Xu Jiayang looked Lu Huashan up and down, indeed, she had slimmed down.
He had noticed it this very morning.
However, he was resolute, “No, it would delay the shooting. The production doesn’t have enough funds.”
He knew that if it could be done, it would certainly be a major highlight, but there was no money!
“I’ll put up the money,” Lu Huashan quietly raised her hand, “I’ll invest ten million, and we’ll replace Ruan Jiajia.”
Immediately, Xu Jiayang revealed a smile like a mother hen, grasping Lu Huashan’s hand, “You’re a good actor. Work hard on losing weight, and we’ll wait for your return.”
Director Xu, what about your pride!
Xu Jiayang declared, what’s pride? He’s now so poor he can’t even afford the actors’ boxed meals; can pride fill your stomach?
He had always been dissatisfied with Ruan Jiajia; had he not been so cash-strapped, he would have agreed to Xia Weibao’s suggestion right from the start.
Now, it was perfect timing.
As for the risks, he was never afraid.
If he dared to use Xia Weibao, what was there to fear about waiting two more months?
Ruan Jiajia was replaced, and the replacement was so baffling that it made her livid.
As for who would play Li Qingguo in the later part, it was to be kept a secret the whole way through.
This was going to be a huge selling point!
To ensure that Lu Huashan’s weight loss plan went without any issues, Xia Weibao assigned Xiang Chu to personally monitor her.
This made little friend Xiang Chu extremely happy; his master was finally going to teach him medical skills!
When he heard about Xia Weibao’s plan, he became so excited that his eyes shone, and he lost sleep for several days.
A four-hundred-pound fatty slimming down to a double-digit weight in two months would definitely be a miracle!
What a benefit for all the fatties!
Just thinking about it was thrilling.
While excited, Baby Xiang Chu’s sense of crisis grew; his master was getting more and more awesome.
He had to guard against Hepburn, or else she would definitely try to steal his master!
The original filming schedule had changed, and the pace was moved up a lot, leaving the entire “Allure” cast struggling beyond words.
Especially because Xu Jiayang’s demands were incredibly strict, so much so that many people made a voodoo doll in his likeness, stuck his photo on it, and pricked it daily to relieve stress.
Dammit, it’s just a web series, and you’re applying Oscar standards? How is anyone supposed to live?
Lu Huashan was the most exhausted, as they were rushing to shoot all her scenes.
Was also very tired, but no amount of fatigue could ever stop Her Majesty from gaming!
Every day after work, the first thing she did was whip out her phone to play games.
When Hualiang came back, what he saw was her standing on the sofa, one foot on the backrest, tapping away at her phone.
These past few days, Boss Lu had been in a bad mood, his mind filled with Yang Li’s words.
