Chapter 1238 The Second Female Lead
But when it comes to the scenes, it's all controlled by Anouk.
Anouk would not allow anyone to add scenes without permission.
Of course, the entire production team wouldn't allow it either.
So far, the final chapter hasn't been written, and the true male lead hasn't been revealed.
Both sides are in a game of strategy, but ultimately, Dynamic Entertainment will finalize the plot.
The entire script is very long, divided into two parts, and this is the first part being filmed.
Each part has a shooting cycle of four months.
The second part will start filming after March next year.
All the actors have cleared their schedules, as such a big investment is rare.
The director team has also been working with Dynamic Entertainment for many years, known for period dramas, and has produced many hit TV series.
In the morning, Anouk began introducing the characters, the overall plot, and some character settings.
Natalie was used to taking notes with a pen.
She didn't like using her phone for electronic notes; she preferred using a pen.
Eloy, sitting beside her, watched her. During the break, Eloy's assistant bought juice for everyone.
"Natalie, I wonder what flavor of juice you like."
A cool, slightly hoarse voice made Natalie look up and meet a pair of eyes.
Eloy was very young, a year younger than Natalie. He started as a singer, had played supporting roles in several big productions, and was the male lead in teen dramas.
However, this was his first time acting in such a big-budget period drama. Because the female lead was Natalie, the competition for the male lead was fierce.
Spectrum Entertainment had collaborated with Dynamic Entertainment Media several times, which is how they secured the audition for this drama.
Eloy did well in the audition. Although he started as a singer, his appearance was not bad.
In fact, because he rarely acted in period dramas, he looked very fresh, and his look during the costume fitting was impressive.
The two male leads for this drama were both chosen through auditions.
Ultimately, it was decided by a meeting of Dynamic Entertainment Media executives, and the female lead Natalie also had a say.
After all, she was the female lead, and her male co-star naturally needed her approval.
Natalie had seen a few costume photos, and both Eloy and Rocco's looks were very good, showing that the stylists had put in a lot of effort.
The two male leads had different character settings.
Anouk's script had elements of absurdity and innovation.
It could be said that once it aired, it would completely meet the audience's preferences and even surprise the picky viewers.
Within Clementine's original framework, Anouk had meticulously optimized many details.
"I'm fine with anything," Natalie glanced at Eloy, "Thank you."
"You're too kind," Eloy handed over a cup of juice, "I specifically got a low-sugar one since female artists usually watch their weight."
Natalie took it, "Thanks a lot."
Eloy was very enthusiastic towards her, and Natalie understood.
Standing at the top of the entertainment industry, it was normal for people to try to curry favor.
She hadn't listened to Eloy's songs before. Natalie didn't listen to much music, mostly old songs.
Recently, she had listened to a few of Caspian's country music tracks. Caspian's voice was like a clear spring in the desert, clean and refreshing.
Seeing that Natalie didn't pay much attention to him and remained politely distant, Eloy dejectedly sat back in his seat.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Suddenly, the conference room door opened.
Penelope walked in, dressed in a fiery red outfit like a maple leaf, "I'm really sorry for being late."
