Chapter 1704 - 1707: This Man Is a Warlord
Upon hearing the middle-aged female assistant's words, the stunning actress Song Weiyin's expression became somewhat awkward, and after a moment of silence, she transmitted quietly: "Yes, you're not wrong, I underestimated this Shen Qiang, because everyone in the Cultivation World says he's a greedy and lustful guy, so I instinctively thought that someone as beautiful as me, with just one smile, could make him crazy enough to court me assiduously.""But obviously, I was mistaken, this Shen Qiang is not the kind of man that loses his senses or is ruled by his lower nature when he sees a beautiful woman. Instead, he possesses a subtle arrogance and indifference, so I'm suddenly thinking that perhaps he's interested not only in beauty but possibly also in the personalities of those girls."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged female assistant said in disbelief: "Interested in those girls' personalities? How is that possible? Bai Jiao is a very proud woman, Xu Nan is more like a tomboy, Beautiful Demon Fox Chu Qing only knows how to eat, where's the charm in their personalities?"
The stunning actress Song Weiyin giggled but then her gaze gradually turned a bit unwilling: "In terms of beauty, I surpass them, and if Shen Qiang were merely ignoring me, I could explain it away by saying he's overwhelmed by my beauty and too shy to approach me."
"But on the contrary, he's not at all interested in my looks and seems to see through everything while threatening me. But now that I think about it, we don't seem to have any way out; if we refuse Shen Qiang's demands, we won't have any reason or excuse to engage with him further."
"You're an actress!" The middle-aged female assistant frowned and transmitted: "Even if it's just an ordinary promotional photo, it should be at least ten million. Just giving it to him for free? A whole set?"
The stunning actress Song Weiyin raised her eyebrows helplessly, transmitting: "Do we have any other options? Don't forget, he just took a photo with me, hugging my shoulder, understand? If I don't quickly help him create a promotional photo set for Datong River, he'll bring out that photo."
"Then you know, rumors will fly everywhere, and my rivals will try every possible way to smear me, to damage my image, even if they can't gain anything from it, they'll embellish and disparage me."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged female assistant's face darkened: "It's fine, I'll go find him and get the photos back, then negotiate with him; he can shoot the promo, but there must be payment, a proper contract."
The stunning actress laughed: "Just have lunch; he won't agree. I underestimated him once and paid the price. I won't make the same mistake again. The King of Demons Shen Qiang, having seized the initiative, do you think he'll give us the chance to turn the tables?"
The middle-aged female assistant froze: "Then what about the script we set for First Love?"
The stunning actress Song Weiyin smiled, then said: "Give it up; Shen Qiang is not someone who indulges in past memories. He has his own ideas, his own goals; he's someone who is dismissive of the past. If we really try to evoke his memories of first love, he'll turn away coldly."
The middle-aged female assistant was silent for a moment, then said: "Okay, but trust me, people have desires; if you really shoot a free promotional photo set for Datong River, he will have even more excessive demands, so leave this matter to me."
"No problem." The stunning actress Song Weiyin nodded.
Just as she finished transmitting, the producer sitting next to her chuckled, then looked at the photo on the wall of Shen Qiang leading his team to victory and said: "Weiyin, what do you think of this Shen Qiang?"
Song Weiyin was taken aback, then laughed: "He's fine."
"I mean, if we let him play the suave bad boy in our new drama, what do you think?"
The stunning actress Song Weiyin was stunned: "You want him to act? How is that possible? He's not trained in acting, not an actor, how could he pull it off?"
The producer, who appeared to be around sixty or seventy years old, smiled and said: "The best acting is being oneself on screen; this Shen Qiang, while possessing elegance, is impressively aggressive."
Upon hearing this, the elegantly bright-eyed female second lead Chi Ningjia giggled: "Yes, the producer is right; this Shen Qiang looks like he's brimming with pheromones! He has a handsome face, perfect physique, and while elegant, there's a certain selfish coolness and roguishness, a sort of..."
Chi Ningjia pondered, then her eyes lit up: "An invasive feel, as if, whenever just the two of us are together, he would definitely devour me."
"Possessiveness!" The producer laughed: "It could also be called ambition; this Shen Qiang, gives the impression of being handsome, bright, sunny, a successful person, very ambitious, very capable; he can't be a pushover."
Everyone nodded.
"Yes, you can see that, even when he's smiling, you sense that he's not a simple good guy."
"That's right, that seemingly superior self-assured look, radiating cold under the sunlight, is utterly captivating; as long as the role fits, a promotional photo would definitely have the charisma of an international star."
"Yes, and I'm a makeup artist; one glance at this Shen Qiang and I know he's the type that looks slim in clothes but muscular without; if he were to play a fresh-faced innocent role, it wouldn't work, but if he were to play a role with intense ambition like a villain, it would be perfect."
Listening to everyone's words, the actress Song Weiyin giggled: "How could that be? He can't act; he's not short on money, and he has so many businesses; where would he have time to be tied down to a film crew? Plus, if he's not professional, it'll drag the crew down."
The producer, whose hands and face had age spots, suddenly smiled: "You all have acted for so long and still don't understand? This Shen Qiang is like a villain; if he follows his own style, the role comes to life, it doesn't need acting skills; just like in the industry, some are known for villain roles, some for hero roles, some specialize in motherly roles; because to them, these characters are essentially themselves."
"So as long as Shen Qiang agrees, I believe he can vividly portray the new drama's ambitious character, will absolutely..."
Halfway through listening, everyone turned their heads in shock and saw the producer suddenly clutching his chest with a painful expression, then he fell to the ground with a thud.
