After Divorcing my Captain Husband (Chloe and Michael) novel Chapter 649

"The production has just started; changing it now shouldn't be too hard on Beckett's end."

Chloe figured that since Beckett also felt Christopher wasn't suitable for the lead, proposing a change wouldn't meet much resistance, especially for the sake of the film's outcome.

After all, this wasn't a typical idol movie; romance played a minor role, and having Christopher as the lead was putting the cart before the horse.

"Christopher, don't listen to her nonsense. Do you know how much more the lead's salary is compared to this role?"

Upon hearing this, Chloe suddenly realized it was all about the pay.

"Are you looking to make quick money now or aiming for a longer career? Think it through yourself."

She believed Christopher, though not the most emotionally intelligent, must be smart enough.

He should know which decision would better serve his future.

Indeed, after some thought, Christopher turned to Chloe and said, "Could you... talk to Beckett for me?"

Chloe smirked. "Sure, I'll go. But first, you need to apologize."

Reluctantly, Christopher got up.

Despite Nolan's protests at his side, insisting he was crazy to listen to Chloe, he headed straight out of the lounge.

Chloe went to see Beckett again, putting on a friendly face.

"Beckett, I know Christopher as the lead hasn't been ideal, but it was you who chose him initially, wasn't it? Let's see if we can find a win-win solution, maybe moving him from lead to the third male role?"

Beckett looked at Chloe in astonishment.

It was his script, and he had considered casting Christopher for the supporting role, but Christopher's agent was adamant - no lead role, no play!

He thought of giving it a try anyway, never expecting it to turn out this way.

Now, Chloe surprisingly suggested Christopher for the supporting role, which was beyond his expectations.

"Beckett, this newcomer in the entertainment industry is restless and impatient, but he has acknowledged his issues and has already gone to apologize to everyone. Beckett, why not give him another chance and let him try for the role of the third male lead?"

Beckett, an Aikopnishian, had always lived domestically and knew Chloe.

He knew she was Michael's ex-wife and that she had connections with Bright Moon International and the Opal Group.

Her request wasn't unreasonable. If he disagreed, offending Chloe could lead to unforeseen problems.

In the entertainment industry, it was best not to make enemies if it could be avoided, especially someone of Chloe's unique standing.

"Beckett, just let him try!"

Under Chloe's persistent persuasion, Beckett finally agrees to give Christopher another chance, allowing him to take on the supporting role.

The roles were swapped, with the original supporting actor trying out for the lead.

Christopher excelled during the auditions, proving Chloe's intuition right.

He apologized to Callista and Gideon and even bought coffee and snacks for the crew.

After the auditions, he went to Beckett and sincerely apologized again, promising he wouldn't make arbitrary changes to the script anymore.
