The King’s Enchanting
Chapter 96 - 96 97 Expectation 3

96: Chapter 97 Expectation (3) 96: Chapter 97 Expectation (3) Liu Sicheng was the second male lead who had been booked long ago.

He also belonged to the idol category, tall and handsome, with an especially charming smile.

Unlike Yu Zexiao, since graduating from the film academy, he was discovered by a talent scout and specialized in acting.

Since his debut, he has played the male lead in countless youth idol dramas, captivating a large following of female fans with his gentle, sunny image and handsome, dashing demeanor.

It could be said that if it weren’t for Yu Zexiao’s extreme popularity, given Liu Sicheng’s fame and status, he would likely have been the destined male protagonist.

After securing him for the second male lead of “Rock Youth,” due to scheduling conflicts, Liu Sicheng first had to finish the work he had already committed to.

Just these past few days, he was supposed to wrap up his current drama and then fly over to start shooting.

Who could have imagined that at this critical juncture, he would be involved in a car accident!

For a moment, Director Li and the crew members who were still in the restaurant felt as if they had gone through the dead of winter, all at a loss for what to say!

However, they couldn’t stay in the restaurant indefinitely.

“Hurry, call an emergency meeting!

Notify all members, and especially, we need to inform the investors right away!” Director Li immediately ordered.

Director Li got in the car and called Liu Sicheng’s talent agency.

Liu Sicheng’s agency was in chaos.

Liu Sicheng was considered a cash cow within the company, and his sudden accident had media, as well as friends and family, flooding them with calls.

At this moment, Liu Sicheng and his agent were both out of town.

After several calls that went without an answer, Director Li was so frustrated he nearly threw his cellphone out of the car!

Back at the production team, many people were already waiting in the small conference room.

Director Li had no heart to deal with these anxious folks, and just then his phone rang with a call from Liu Sicheng’s assistant.

He immediately answered, “Hello, what exactly happened?”

The assistant said, “Director Li, Sicheng has just been taken into the operating room.

The doctors say he has a right leg fracture, and the injury is quite serious.”

Director Li could only feel his temples throbbing, “When will he be able to recover?”

The assistant hesitated, then finally said after a long pause, “We don’t know yet, we have to wait until after the surgery for the doctors to tell us.”

After hanging up, Director Li’s face was still clouded over.

A fracture, even if it could heal, would take at least three months!

There was no way he could keep up with the filming schedule!

Director Li felt utterly disheartened!

It was well known that for youth idol dramas, the audience first and foremost looked for handsome men and beautiful women.

Liu Sicheng was among the top leading actors on Huaxia’s screens in recent years.

Although he hadn’t burst onto the scene and risen to fame overnight like Yu Zexiao, who had a smooth career path since his debut, he wasn’t far behind.

Now he couldn’t act, and although they could push all his scenes to later, who could they find in such short notice who would fit the bill: appropriate remuneration, handsome appearance, and a match for the second male role in the drama?

Moreover, this broadcasting was the first of its kind in Huaxia Country, adopting the “shoot while broadcasting” format.

Producing the series and completing the script, then broadcasting weekly like American and British series do—meaning this drama demanded even more timeliness compared to other TV dramas that are shot before broadcasting.
