Chapter 413 - 222: I’m Going on a Blind Date with Him (Third Update)
Seeing Lawrence Winters’ utterly puzzled expression, Edward Foster couldn’t help but laugh, feeling an urge to pat her head to calm her flustered demeanor."Don’t be too surprised. It’s not entirely unexpected, right?" Edward gently comforted her, "Think about it, for someone with such great personal conditions, he’s so low-profile in the entertainment industry, acting in only one movie a year and playing only supporting roles, yet he still lives comfortably. Even I, as his boss, am on brotherly terms with him. — Do you think someone like that would have a simple background?"
Lawrence Winters pouted, "I suspected he might have an extraordinary background, but investing such a large sum of money in his own film still surprises me."
"Alright, I’ll tweet something right away. You go ahead and introduce our new show. — How about that post-apocalyptic sci-fi script?" Edward said as he checked his watch, planning to leverage the evening rush on social media to create a buzz.
Lawrence returned to her senses and quickly said, "No, the ancient xianxia story, let’s go with the poster image as well."
In that instant, she decided not to shoot the post-apocalyptic film, as it posed too many risks.
If it blew up, the returns would be greater than those from an ancient xianxia drama, but there’s also a high chance of it flopping, requiring even more investment.
Now knowing that Lucas Harlow funded it himself, Lawrence wanted to avoid taking risks.
Let’s produce a hit series first, and if there’s a chance to get other investors, then we can think about doing the post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama.
Edward gave her a look, "During the script discussion earlier, weren’t you more into that post-apocalyptic script?"
"... Now I think an ancient xianxia series would be more appealing to the fans," Lawrence said with a bright smile, "My goal is to push Lucas to stardom, as for that post-apocalyptic sci-fi, we’ll leave it for later."
Edward didn’t quite understand Lawrence’s mindset, but Lucas had already entrusted the decision to her, so Edward didn’t argue and said, "Alright, I’ll go announce this project along with the key visual of the xianxia male lead."
Lawrence nodded, "I’ll support your tweet and simultaneously announce the casting process for other roles of the xianxia drama. We’re still missing the female lead, supporting actress, supporting actor, and extras."
"Great! Let’s coordinate well and turn this situation around once and for all!" Edward said, eagerly heading back to his office.
By five-thirty in the evening, NewHuman Entertainment Ltd.’s official account tagged the illustrious Blue Heavy Industries.
[NewHuman Entertainment Ltd.]: @Blue Heavy Industries, we are honored to have Blue Heavy Industries as our investor, creating a custom-made costume xianxia drama for their heir, Lucas Harlow!
The post included a visual featuring Lucas Harlow as the male lead.
The moment this announcement was made, it shot up to one of the top three trending topics!
Bystanders who had gorged on gossip all day felt they were already stuffed.
In this moment, they felt like "Bring it on, I can still take it!"
"Holy crap! Lucas Harlow is the heir to Blue Heavy Industries?!"
"No way?! Blue Heavy Industries is one of the top ten heavy machinery manufacturers in the world, and he’s their heir?!"
"Unbelievable, Arthur Johnson even paid for a trending story claiming Lucas Harlow is kept by a rich woman... Find me a rich woman capable of keeping the heir of Blue Heavy Industries!"
"Oh my god! No wonder! I’ve always felt Lucas Harlow had such a distinctive charisma! Like a graceful gentleman from the past! Turns out he really comes from an influential family!"
"And look, while others bring some capital into a production, he’s investing from a foreign-owned enterprise... Hahaha!"
Yet, some bystanders remained skeptical and said, "Just tagging Blue Heavy Industries’ official account makes someone their heir? A new way to whitewash an image, huh!"
But soon, those skeptics were proven wrong.
Because the official account of Blue Heavy Industries actually replied to NewHuman Entertainment’s post.
[Blue Heavy Industries]: @NewHuman Entertainment Ltd., handshake.JPG. A win-win, take good care of our young master.
This statement confirmed Lucas Harlow’s identity.
Bystanders who were previously doubtful stopped questioning, and Lucas Harlow’s fans were overjoyed.
Soon after, Lawrence, in her capacity as the spokesperson for NewHuman Corporation’s PR department, issued a tweet for the casting of Lucas Harlow’s new drama.
And it clearly stated: Artists who have thrown dirt on our company’s performers need not apply; don’t think hiding behind a facade will go unnoticed. The internet never forgets.
