His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 1618

Iris Long had always been straightforward. She disliked wasting time on unimportant matters. Her manager, Tang Yiyi, was also aware of this so she didn’t talk about unnecessary topics.

The two discussed her schedule for the next week and made necessary changes as needed.

"You’re going to be very busy in the next few days, Xiulan," Tang Yiyi said. "Make sure to have enough rest especially when you’re in the Philippines. I heard it’s extremely hot there. Also, be careful of what you eat. Don’t get food poisoning. Listen to Dom about the do’s and don’t’s of the country."

"Okay, Elder Sis Yiyi."

Tang Yiyi sighed. "I would love to accompany you, but I’m negotiating a major movie contract for Meixing, so I can’t really get away right now."

"Don’t worry about it. Dom will be there to make sure that everything runs on schedule. My husband will also follow me as soon as he finishes his work."

Tang Yiyi nodded. "Also, we’ve secured the screenwriter for the film adaption of ’Queen of the Shadows’. She’s our first choice. The first negotiation fell through, but she contacted us later to re-negotiate. However, we need to wait until she finishes her current work commitment with another project."

Jin Chonglin and Lin Dong stopped arguing when they heard them talking about ’Queen of the Shadows’. The film adaptation of Princess Porkchop’s best-selling webtoon was very important to them because it would be LXC Studio’s first major film production project.

Both Iris Long and Jin Chonglin had signed up as executive producers. They were investing their own personal funds in addition to LXC Studio’s company investment as the production house.

"We’ve secured most of the key production staff," Lin Dong said. "Next, we’ll have to start thinking about the cast. Since Princess Porkchop insists on Iris starring as the female lead, then we’ll have to respect her choice. How’s your acting lessons going so far?"

Iris pursed her lips. She had been squeezing some acting lessons in between her already-packed schedule.

If it was a singing showdown, she would be 150% confident in her own abilities.

But acting?

What was Meimei thinking of insisting on making her the lead actress?

If Iris Long performed poorly as the female lead in the film adaptation of "Queen of the Shadows", this might affect the momentum of her showbiz comeback.

Iris knew that acting in emotional and intricate scenes was her weakness. Nevertheless, this challenge ignited her competitive spirit.

Although she wasn’t even close to 50% confident about her acting skills, she would still want to try and do her best to fulfill her friend Meimei’s expectations. After all, Meimei (a.k.a. Princess Porkchop) had repeatedly told them that her biggest inspiration in creating the female lead character in her webtoon was Iris Long.

Even if it was going to be a difficult challenge, Iris was determined to create her own miracle.

If natural talent was lacking, then she would push through it with sheer hard work, determination, and creativity.

"My acting lessons are fine," Iris finally replied to Lin Dong. "I’m still not satisfied, though. I originally planned on taking my acting coach to the Philippines with me but she has prior engagements. I heard that Dom recruited a local acting coach in the Philippines for me instead. Let’s see how it goes."
