Chapter 2001 Change The Actors

“Okay. I agree with your suggestion.” Upon saying that, Maya apologized, “Aunt Sheila, I’m sorry. I didn’t know this would happen. We shouldn’t have taken the leading roles.”

“Maya, it’s not your fault. No one can predict the future. I hope you can face this with a brave and hopeful heart. Don’t be upset. Let’s believe that Wilbur will recover soon. Call me anytime if you need anything. Remember, we will always have your back.”

Sheila’s words touched Maya. Her eyes beamed with tears as she choked on her words. “Thank you, Aunt Sheila.”

Hanging up the phone, she tried to recollect herself. Then, she drove to the food plaza as there were some urgent errands for her to settle. After that, she wanted to stop by the Simpson residence to check on Wilbur. She wanted to at least make sure that he was safe.

Everyone was left in bewilderment when Sheila announced the change of the leading roles.

“It’s forbidden to change the leading roles halfway. It’ll affect the audience rating.”

“Absolutely. I’ve never seen something like this. If we are going to change the leading roles, why don’t we change the story as well!”

“Exactly… the audience would be confused!”

Sheila was frustrated upon hearing all those comments from the crew. She understood their concerns, but she could not think of another option. I can’t let a mentally-impaired person do the filming too. It will be worse. Plus, the Simpson family won’t agree to it too.

As it was the weekend, Zayden and Joy were around too. Zayden rolled his eyes and suggested to Sheila, “Mommy, can you let Nina be the leading female actor? She looks like Maya. People might not even notice the change of actress.”

“What about the leading male actor then? Where am I going to find a man that looks like Wilbur?”

Zayden rubbed his forehead. “Why don’t we post an advertisement to search for someone who looks like Wilbur?”

“It’s not that easy. Plus, let’s assume we manage to find one. Nina is in love with Stephen right now. I’m not sure if she’s willing to play the role of a woman who’s in a relationship with another man.”

Joy blinked her eyes. “Aunt Sheila, what about this? Let’s change the script. We can say the male lead’s face is ruined because of a car accident, and he has to undergo plastic surgery. Then, Stephen will be the new face of the male lead. With that, he can act as Nina’s boyfriend then.”

“Disfigured due to a car accident?” Sheila’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing that. She was not sure if it was a good idea.

However, someone from the directing crew agreed to it.

“I think that’s a good idea. Since the couple is going to have a misunderstanding in the next scene, let’s portray that the male lead gets drunk after the conflict. Then, he gets into a car accident upon leaving the bar. When he reappears, he looks completely different, and the girl does not recognize him anymore, thinking that her lover had passed away during the accident. The audience will pity her and hope she finds out the truth soon…”

“That’s right. We can create a lot of episodes with that. I think it’s a good idea. The storyline sounds natural too.”

Seeing everyone agreeing to it, Sheila was convinced it might work. Her next step was to persuade Nina and Stephen to accept the roles. I wonder if they will agree to this?

If Nina says her company has been busy recently, and Stephen rejects too, what should I do then?

Just then, a name came across Sheila’s mind.

That’s right. If he is the one who approaches Nina and Stephen, it might work!
