Reborn As The Villain President's Lover

Chapter 31

Chu Cheng listened to him talk, was finally satisfied with his words and ended the call with some pleasantries.

Ji Qingzhou never imagined that he would become the main character after only one day’s work.

“Me?” He pointed to himself, “You mean that I will replace Chen Jiyuan as the male lead?”

Jiang Nan and the director nodded, Ji Qingzhou was baffled, “But I’ve been playing Zhuang Xiangyang for so long, and now I’m to play the male lead? That means all the scenes already filmed will be wasted. “

“It’s all right,” the director said. “The time that we’ve taken so far isn’t considered very long. You haven’t had a lot of parts and Chen Jiyuan hasn’t filmed a lot either. We’ll only need to reshoot both your parts. It won’t cost too much.”

“This ……” Ji Qingzhou looked at him. “Why was I chosen?”

He thought that upon Chen Jiyuan’s cancellation of his contract, the cast should be working hard to find another actor to salvage the situation. It was unthinkable that he would immediately be told to play the leading role. If someone said that it had nothing to do with Chu Cheng, Ji Qingzhou wouldn’t believe it.

Jiang Nan smiled widely, “Xiao Ji, as you know, filming has already started and has been going on for a while. Chen Jiyuan cancelling his contract means that finding a suitable actor again is vital. To be honest, it’s really difficult to find one. In this cast, your looks and acting skills are the best, and there is no way to not choose you.”

“Is that all?”

“Of course, Xiao Chu was willing to invest in this drama at this time, which is also an important reason. As an investor, he asked for you by name. We also think you are suitable. That’s why we made this decision.”

Ji Qingzhou felt that there was something wrong with this statement, “Isn’t the cause and effect mixed up?” He asked, “Both of you should have decided on me first, then talked to Chu Cheng about investing, right? The last time we met, he didn’t show any intentions to invest. It doesn’t make sense how he would immediately want to invest now that the former investor had an accident. So what should have happened was that you chose me first, and then used the emotions card of me being the main character to pull in his investment. This is how things go right? “

“What’s the difference?” Jiang Nan laughed, “The result is the same anyway.”

Ji Qingzhou shook his head. “If Chu Cheng decides to invest first and then designates me as the male lead, then I accept it. But if it’s as I said, then I need to think about it.”  He looked at Jiang nan and the director. “You can leave first. I’ll get back to you after thinking it through.”

“Xiao Ji, you should know, in this circle, playing a leading role is far more advantageous than playing a supporting role.” Jiang Nan reminded him.

“I know,” Ji Qingzhou said, “So I’ll think it over.”

Jiang Nan and the director saw this and had to leave first, leaving him alone.

Zhou Chengfeng watched Jiang Nan and the deputy director leave the hotel room and asked Ji Qingzhou, “You don’t want to take the role?”

“Of course I do.”

“Then what is there to consider?”

Of course he had to think about whether this drama was worth Chu Cheng’s investment.

Chu Cheng smoothly answered the call and asked him, “What’s the matter? Missed me? “

“Why do you always start with this sentence?” Ji Qingzhou laughed.
