The King’s Enchanting
Chapter 97 - 97 98 Expectation 4

97: Chapter 98 Expectation (4) 97: Chapter 98 Expectation (4) Liu Sicheng’s condition was serious.

If they completed everyone else’s scenes first, leaving his for when he had recovered, it would inevitably delay the entire film’s progress.

It is said that ‘for joints and bones, a hundred days are needed to heal.’ By the time he was fully recovered and ready to film, the momentum would have long passed!

With such a delay, the public would gradually forget their anticipation for the film.

After all, everything relies on the principle of ‘striking while the iron is hot, with the second effort waning and the third exhausting.’

However, if they didn’t wait for him to continue, but instead replaced the actor, where could they find a suitable male lead in such short notice who could take Liu Sicheng’s place?

Director Li’s expression was solemn.

He had always directed movies before, and this was his first time directing a TV series.

To be honest, transitioning from film to television, from the silver screen to the TV set, was not without its challenges.

Yet, he had resolutely taken on the task.

There were several reasons.

First, although it was a TV series, it was indeed a big investment and big production.

Besides him, the production team that was gathered was nothing but top-notch.

Secondly, the investor for this project was also incredibly generous.

Hailing from the west coast of the United States, an investor who frequently funded big Hollywood movies, had swiftly pulled together a substantial amount of capital.

From the actors to scriptwriters, even his salary as a director was much higher than what he had received for low-budget films in the past.

Moreover, compared to domestic investors, this one was quite indulgent.

Besides requesting the insertion of a clothing advertisement, the investor did not meddle with the TV series’ production or the choice of actors.

Such a TV series, if smoothly produced, was bound to be an instant hit!

Who would have thought that ever since the filming started, the production had been plagued with one disaster after another, which almost made Director Li want to go to a temple and burn incense for better luck.

He lifted his head, looking at the unceasing drizzle outside the window, feeling his thoughts shrouded by the endless gloom.

While waiting, all the production members began to gather, their expressions somewhat grave.

Whether Liu Sicheng would continue or leave, the filming schedule needed adjustment.

They called Jiang Xuanqi, who was currently at a beauty salon.

It’s unavoidable for actresses to endure irregular meals and lack of sleep during filming, which is very damaging to both health and skin.

To maintain her beautiful appearance and excellent figure, besides being careful about her diet, she regularly needed to have treatments.

Jiang Xuanqi was having a beauty treatment; her assistant took the call.

Regardless of whether they had to replace the male lead or continue waiting for his recovery, they had to start filming her scenes with the male protagonist for the time being.

The assistant naturally had no say in the matter and would inform Jiang Xuanqi once she had finished her beauty treatment.

Jiang Xuanqi didn’t really mind.

She wasn’t close to Liu Sicheng.

His absence only meant that she would have more time to stick with Yu Zexiao, didn’t it?

Thinking this way, it seemed like good news!

At that thought, Jiang Xuanqi lovingly stroked her freshly cared for, tender skin.

Looking at her perfect reflection in the mirror, she flashed a smug smile: Jian Anning, you, a mere assistant, dared to embarrass me!

I will make your downfall truly ugly!

On their end, after informing Jiang Xuanqi, the assistant tried to call Yu Zexiao, but the call went unanswered for a long time.

Crackdown operations continued until 3 a.m.

yesterday, and out of sheer exhaustion, I went to sleep.

Regular updates will resume today.
