The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 119 Know How To Play

Upon hearing Simone's words, Lisa immediately contacted the director's assistant. Soon, they replied, agreeing to Simone's request. They also sent the complete script. Lisa forwarded the script to Simone, saying, "Mr. Zeke agreed and sent the complete script. Take a look and see if there are any other issues. If not, you can find time to go and sign the contract." Simone accepted, saying, "Okay." She took a look at the script that started with the male lead and his master chasing after a remnant soul of a demonic path. Then, they discovered that the female supporting character, the male lead's wife in the mortal world, was possessed by this remnant soul.The male lead belonged to a righteous immortal sect and practiced the heartless path, so his master could have easily removed the remnant soul from the female character. However, he wanted the male lead to kill his wife to prove his path while preventing her from becoming a threat. The male lead and his wife didn't have a deep emotional connection, and after entering the immortal path, he was completely devoted to his cultivation. Thus, he cold-heartedly killed both the remnant soul and his wife, achieving perfection in the heartless path. Due to a protected treasure of the demonic path, the female character fell into a false state of death. After the male lead and his master left, she woke up. Having been killed by her beloved husband to prove his path, the female character harbored immense hatred. As a result, she accidentally triggered and merged with the memories of the protective treasure and the remnant soul, subsequently becoming a demonic being. Then, there was the innocent and lively junior, who fell in love with the aloof senior. She also drew the elder, who practiced the heartless path, into the world of mortal emotions. The male lead gradually fell in love with the female lead, but his cultivation became unstable, and he was almost killed by the vengeful female character. Ultimately, the male lead broke the backlash of the heartless path to save the world. As a result, he comprehended a new path that was heartless yet compassionate and ascended to the immortal realm, hand in hand with the female lead. After reading the script, Simone realized it was similar to what she knew from her past life. The performance had changed quite a bit, such as when the female character turned demonic and wanted to kill everyone in the city.The female lead, the junior, happened to pass by and saved the people with a precious heirloom from her family. By adding this plotline, not only did it vilify the female character, but it also highlighted the true goodness and beauty of the female lead. Later, they added many scenes depicting the evil and malicious actions of the female character. This made the audience feel that the male lead was justified in killing his wife and that the female character was highly detestable. However, the original script only mentioned the female character turning demonic, and her subsequent appearance was as the saint of the demonic realm. Moreover, they intentionally deleted the part where the male lead could remove the remnant soul, which caused the female character to turn dark. The highlight of the whole drama was that the male lead broke the heartless path for the female lead. True love could conquer all, and love was invincible. This kind of drama was full of melodrama, misunderstandings, and explosive moments, so it became popular, but what was wrong with the wife? She could have detached herself from the lingering soul but instead became the stepping stone for her husband to prove his heartlessness. There was some controversy about this aspect of the drama. Some people thought that the male lead killing his wife to prove his path of heartlessness was morally questionable. After all, if one wanted to cultivate heartlessness, one should remain heartless. Why did the male lead suddenly become compassionate when he saw the female lead? But some people thought that seeing the heartless senior develop feelings struck a chord with them. Nowadays, many popular dramas used dramatic elements, and controversy only added to the buzz and attracted viewers.Simone enjoyed acting, so she didn't only play the female lead role. She would take on any character she liked and found challenging, even if it was a truly villainous character. In the script, the second female lead didn't hold back in tormenting the male and female leads, embodying the path of heartlessness and revenge. Simone took on the role of the second female lead. The director was pleased and informed Gray Entertainment that Jodie could be cast as the female lead. At the same time, thinking about the live broadcast variety show, Zac and Simone had a good relationship, and he supported her all along. Coincidentally, he had previously worked with Zac. So, he decided to call Zac.At that moment, Zac was live streaming a game and answered the call with a wave of his hand, but he did inform Mr. Zeke that he was in the middle of a live stream. Mr. Zeke didn't mind and invited him to consider a cameo as a villainous demon lord. "Who are the leads?" Zac asked while playing the game. "The male lead is Leon," Mr. Zeke replied. "He has already signed the contract. The female lead is temporarily Jodie, and the second female lead is Simone." The audience in the live stream room heard this and exclaimed one by one that the director was playing it smart. The buzz definitely brought these three people together, but why were their wives the second female lead, and that "Jojo" who ruined her character was the female lead? Zac had the same thought, so he asked directly. "Why is Simone playing the second female lead?"Mr. Zeke was fearless of the people in the live stream room hearing. So, he truthfully replied, "I let Simone choose between the female lead and the second female lead. She prefers the witch character, so she chose the second female lead. That's why I gave Jodie the female lead role." If Zac agreed to play the demon lord, he was prepared to have the screenwriter add some scenes between the second female lead and the demon lord. When Zac heard this, he laughed. "So, Simone didn't want to play the female lead. Okay. If Simone plays the witch, then I'll cameo as the demon lord." A witch and a demon lord—what a perfect match. Mr. Zeke's smile grew wider. "Great. Then, come over and sign the contract when you have time." Zac's image was quite similar to that of the demon lord, handsome and sharp-tongued. At that, he replied, "No problem."Afterward, he made an appointment with Simone to sign the contract, and they could also have a meal together. Soon, in Mr. Zeke's fantasy drama, Simone chose the role of the second female lead. The remaining role of the first female lead, taken by Jodie, became a hot topic and trended on social media. The Gray Family. Jodie's face still hurt, but she received a call from the company, informing her that she could sign the contract for the role of the first female lead she wanted. She couldn't help but feel excited and thrilled. This drama had been highly rated in her dreams, but there was controversy surrounding the second female lead. She came up with an idea and planned to suggest that Simone play the role of the second female lead. Then, she would pressure the company to change the storyline of the second female lead, making her character extremely malicious and unlikable. In this way, she could create a contrast between herself and Simone in the drama, causing the audience to dislike Simone in real life. The more she thought about it, the more appealing it seemed, so she knocked on Titus' door. Titus, who hadn't slept all night due to the pain, opened the door with a less-than-pleasant expression. "What's the matter?" He suspected that Simone had done something to him when she hit him. So, he thought about finding an excuse to contact Simone and test if she was behind it. Now that he saw Jodie, he felt even more annoyed. Jodie informed him about the confirmation of the first female lead. She added, "Titus, the role of the second female lead is also quite good. Why don't we ask the company to help Simone secure it? You can contact Simone and tell her that you have found a great opportunity for the second female lead role. And ask her to stop so we don't have to suffer anymore." Titus frowned. "Will she want the role of the second female lead?" Jodie said, "She will want it. She wanted to be the third female lead in that Republican Era drama. Not to mention, this is the second female lead in Mr. Zeke's drama. With the small studio they are currently working with, what good opportunities can they get? This role of the second female lead is good. "You can say that you have put in a lot of effort to fight for it for her. Mr. Zeke definitely won't object. After all, Leon is playing the male lead, I am the first female lead, and Simone plays the second female lead. The topic will be popular and help promote the drama." Titus thought for a moment and said, "Okay. I'll ask her." With Simone's current temperament, he felt that she might only accept the role of the second female lead if Jo was the first female lead, but this was a good excuse to contact Simone. He could also show Simone that, as her brother, he hadn't forgotten about his sister and was always thinking of helping her. Then, he borrowed a phone from a servant and called Simone. Simone answered, "Hello." Titus feared Simone would recognize his voice, so he hung up immediately. He then called back and explained the matter of fighting for Simone's role before mentioning his bodily pain later in the conversation. She chuckled after listening. "Did Jodie instigate you to come find me? If you had checked the trending topics first, you wouldn't have called me, making yourself look more and more foolish." With that, she hung up the phone. Titus felt puzzled and opened the trending topics on his phone. After reading it, his face turned completely dark.
