FATE: Target of Grand Master

Chapter 236 The Male Lead's Choice

The plot of the short drama is as follows: the male protagonist is an ordinary college student who, one day after get off work, is accidentally sent to the reincarnation space responsible for soul reincarnation by a dump truck.

The female lead, played by Euryale, is the goddess in charge of soul reincarnation in the cycle of rebirth.

In order for the male protagonist to go to another world to defeat the Demon King, the female protagonist agrees that the male protagonist can bring any item with him.

In order to get revenge on the arrogant goddess, the male protagonist directly chose the female protagonist, and the two were transported to another world together, embarking on a fun, funny and exciting journey.

The script is called "Destroying This Wonderful World!"

"Boss, our script has a tight production schedule. If we can't finalize the male lead for a long time, it will greatly affect the time it takes to produce the final product."

At this moment, Xia Yan was sitting in the short film director's office with Yuri Ellie, Morgan, and Musashi.

Xia Yan spent the whole night trying to persuade Yuri Ellie, but nothing he said worked. In the end, Yuri Ellie was even on the verge of tears, so Xia Yan had no choice but to give up.

After a night of reflection, Xia Yan realized that forcing Yuri Ellie to act in the short play was somewhat coercive, which was not Xia Yan's original intention.

Just as Xia Yan was about to tell the director that he wouldn't film anymore and would still have to pay the penalty for breach of contract, Yuri Ellie spoke up: "It's not that I don't want to act, but I get to decide who the male lead is."

Upon hearing that Euryale had suddenly agreed to act, Xia Yan immediately said, "Eureale, don't force yourself. If you don't want to, we don't have to act."

The director, who was standing nearby, became anxious upon hearing Xia Yan's words, since the penalty for breach of contract was not as much as the full investment.

"Miss Euryale, just say so. I'll search high and low for any male actor you're willing to work with."

"No need to look, it's right here."

The director looked in the direction Euryale was pointing.

"Miss Euryale, are you kidding me? You're casting the boss as the male lead?"

Xia Yan was also completely bewildered.

"Eureka, not only am I not a professional actress, I'm also your manager. What kind of idol's manager acts alongside their idol?"

"I don't care, I won't act in any other male lead role except for you."

Euryale crossed her arms and huffed angrily.

The director also realized that although the boss was nominally Euryale's manager, the relationship between the two was much closer than that between an artist and his manager.

Are they boyfriend and girlfriend?

A recently popular rising idol is having a secret relationship with his manager – what a bombshell!

The director, believing that it was time to keep quiet and let the client reach a consensus, sat quietly to the side without saying a word.

An awkward silence fell over the office.

However, he only wanted to be a quiet statue on the side, but Euryale did not grant him that wish.

"Director, I remember in the script the male and female leads were supposed to form a team after arriving in the other world, right?"

Yes, that's right.

"Besides the male protagonist and the goddess-like female protagonist, the team also includes a magician and a swordsman, right?"

"Yes, it seems you have read the script carefully."

Euryale didn't take the director's flattery; instead, she pointed to Xia Yan, herself, and Morgan and Musashi sitting next to Xia Yan.

"Look, the male lead, the female lead, the magician, and the swordsman. They're all here."

The director was sweating bullets at this point.

So, it's not enough to just throw in one nepotism for this new idol; they have to cram in the whole team. The entire main cast doesn't have a single professional actor. What's the point of making this?

However, on the other hand, I was just filming a short drama, so acting skills weren't that important. The two women next to the boss were also very beautiful, with stunning looks.

"Director, what do you think?"

The director glanced at Euryale, then at Xia Yan, his heart filled with bitterness.

Why does this young lady need my opinion?

I'm just a lowly contractor, what right do I have to offer opinions? Don't I just do whatever the client says?

"Director, it's okay. Just give your honest opinion from a professional perspective."

Xia Yan then spoke up.

Seeing that Xia Yan didn't immediately reject Euryale's suggestion, the director hesitated for a moment before mustering his courage and saying, "I think it's worth a try, Miss Euryale's suggestion. Finding actors right now isn't that easy. If you and the others have some time..."

Upon hearing the director's words, Euryale quietly gave him a thumbs up.

At this moment, the director was praying in his heart that what he said would not anger Xia Yan, the investor.

Xia Yan said with some concern, "But we are not professional actors."

"It's okay, you can audition first. Anyway, most idols aren't from acting backgrounds and don't have much acting skill."

Looking at this director who dared to speak the truth, Xia Yan felt that the other party was indeed an honest person.

"Are you willing?"

Xia Yan looked around at Morgan and Musashi.

"I don't care."

Morgan shrugged.

"I'm fine with either."

Musashi shared the same attitude.

"Oh, right, I should mention this first. According to the script, besides the female lead, the male lead will also have some ambiguous romantic scenes with the other two members of the team. Of course, in the end, the male and female leads will still have a happy ending as a team. You guys don't mind, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Morgan and Musashi simultaneously picked up on the key phrase: a somewhat ambiguous romantic relationship with the other two members of the team.

"I do."

"I'm willing too."

Their enthusiasm immediately increased significantly.

The director was initially taken aback by this unexpected reaction, but then he suddenly understood.

It seems that in addition to using his position as manager to develop a secret relationship with his idol, the boss also has extremely ambiguous relationships with the female president and female assistant!

Damn it! Is this what life is like for the rich?

I'm so envious, no, I'm so decadent!

Xia Yan, unaware that the director sitting opposite him was experiencing a complex mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment, said, "Let's try it as a last resort."

The director, regaining his composure, immediately nodded in agreement and then made the arrangements.

To the director's surprise, although Xia Yan and the others' acting skills were not professional, their action scenes were excellent, and they even released some magical spells, which greatly reduced the workload of adding special effects in post-production.

After poaching some supporting actors and extras at 1.5 times the market price, filming for the short drama finally began.

As filming progressed, the director discovered that the three female leads had very genuine feelings for the male lead and performed very naturally, even better than some professional actors.

The director is already thinking about how intense the discussion among viewers will be about the male lead's rivalry with the three female leads once the short drama is finished.

With the boss's financial resources, the subsequent promotion will definitely cost a fortune. It would be an injustice if this show didn't become a hit!
