Leo wasn’t surprised about the sudden change of Robert’s attitude. He replied with a smile, “Now I have made myself recognized?”
“For sure!”
Robert wore a guilty face because of his awful attitude a moment ago, “Mr. Cohen, I am so sorry for what I’ve done.”
Leo nodded, showing no intention to retaliate.
After all, Robert was trying to make the best version of the ad. though he appeared to be stubborn and inflexible.
Actually, he had never stood out in the industry again after Cody Davidson was released. His desire to return to his prime caused his weird temperament and stubbornness, not allowing even a question from his crew.
At this moment, Michelle walked over and persuaded sensibly, “Mr. Robert, please drop your question and prejudice. You may find something sparkling from someone else. Everyone has their own understanding worth priceless value. Being open-minded always leads to a better decision than being dictatorial.”
Robert bowed to Leo with great sense of guilt, “Mr. Cohen, I am so sorry.”
His attitude of compromise just now might be more likely to be caused by annoyance because of what Lydia had said. But now he truly paid his greatest respect to Leo. What was more, Leo was a rookie with no experience of relevant industry. But he actually managed to convince Robert, who was known to be obstinate and unruly.
Leo hurried to stop his bow and continued composedly, “Don’t be sorry. I know we are both for the same goal—to make the best of the ad. That’s it.”
While saying that, Leo suddenly suggested, “But, it’s still preferable to fill the name of Ronnie in the cast.”
Robert paused, a bit surprised, “What for? We have decided that you should play the leading man.”
Leo responded with a casual smile, “I still remember there seem to be a fight scene before the real ad.”
“Yes.”
But then Robert explained, “It won’t be a live action part. We will present it with computer graphics.”
Leo shook his head, “No. I want live action only to make it perfect.”
Robert was surprised with his eyes wide open, “You mean…”
Leo smiled, but looking chill, “Direct the camera right onto his face. No stand-in.”
Robert wore a serious look. But he still beckoned the assistant director over to tell him to notice Ronnie here.
“But I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
Michelle expressed her worry frankly, “Ronnie is an excellent black belt Taekwondo fighter. What if he fails to control his strength?”
Leo replied to ease her worried look, “Don’t worry. He won’t be capable enough to do any harm to me.”
Looking at his smile, Michelle could tell what he was thinking. But annoyed by Ronnie and also his family, she didn’t intend to stop Leo.
Meanwhile, both Ronnie and Zack swaggered inside and looked around with a frivolous smile. Then Ronnie fixed his eyes on Leo, “See? How could it be possible that a dumbass with zero experience will be qualified enough to play the leading role? Now it’s still my turn. What a waste of my time!”
Leo still remained composed with an emotionless face. As both of them took a walk outside just now, they had no idea about what happened in the crew.
Robert walked over to huff, “Ronnie, don’t be mistaken. You won’t replace the role of Mr. Cohen. Instead, you will play opposite him.”
Hearing that, Ronnie came into a sudden pause. Stunned, he took a look at Leo, “He didn’t get expelled?”
Leo grinned with his glowing white teeth exposed.
“Huh, you get the biggest fortune in your life!”
Ronnie huffed with disdain and looked away.
Though still confused, he stayed unspoken. After all, being able to play in the ad. still made him feel better.
“So, what about the details?” asked Ronnie’s manager.
