Chapter 448


    Was Richard going to act? Not only the director but even Pearl was stunned.


    Pearl burst intoughter. “You’re going to act? Stop joking, Richard!”


    “What are youughing at?” Richard gazed deeply into Pearl’s eyes, his stare unwavering, and she


    suddenly stoppedughing. “This isn’t a joke. Just get the actor reced Mister Derek…”


    He then raised an eyebrow. “I’m willing to invest 15 million dors. Can I join the production with my


    funding?”


    The director, who was feeling gloomy, suddenly brightened up with joy. “Sure, Mister Richard. If you


    want to act, I can make a spot avable, but…”


    Richard frowned “What is it?”


    “But it’s just a supporting role. I don’t know if you’re okay with that…”

    Richard rxed. “That’s fine.”


    The actor who originally yed the supporting role was fuming silently. He couldn’tpete with


    Richard’s wealth and looks in any way!


    The director discreetly signaled him, and he left in disappointment.


    Pearl suddenly felt ufortable. This was a campus romance drama, and Richard had to ditch his


    suits for a school uniform.


    Seeing Richard in school uniform, radiating youthfulness, and outshining the lead actor, the director


    suddenly regretted his decision. “Mister Richard, how about you take the lead role? You’re


    overshadowing everyone else, which might not be ideal. for the production.


    ”


    Not just Hanzel but even Esther was overshadowed by Richard’s radiance. The acting and looks of the


    supporting roles in this drama put the leads to shame.


    Richard impatiently nced at the awkward director and asked, “Is Pearl the female lead?”


    The director was stunned. “No.”


    “Then don’t ask me to.”


    After Richard turned him down, the director approached Pearl. “The leads are being overshadowed.


    This might affect the production, Miss Pearl.”


    Pearl smirked. “That shouldn’t be an issue. This drama is all about the chemistry. Who’s


    overshadowing whom, anyway?”


    The director was speechless. At this point, he had no choice but to continue the shoot.


    But shooting with a real couple was indeed easier, especially when it came to k*ssing scenes. Richard


    k*ssed Pearl passionately in all twenty-three k*ssing scenes, causing those around them to blush


    Thest scene took ce in an ancient city, so they had to borrow the set from ‘The Melody of the


    West’ production.


    “Considering the fight we hadst time, I’m sure they won’t lend us the set.”


    ”


    Pearl squinted. “Jenny’s in the hospital now, and they’re not even filming. There’s no reason for them to


    hog the public set.”


    The director looked troubled. “But they rented the set first.”


    “It’s alright, let me handle this.” Pearl gave her wrist a little stretch. “Well, the matter fromst time


    hasn’t been resolved, and no one has apologized to us.”


    Richard sheepishly asked, “Are you nning something again?”


    Esther excitedly joined. “I’ming with you, Pearl. Together, we’re an unbeatable team!”
