Chapter 74: Covert Battle Officially Announced
Chapter 74: The Official Announcement of "Dark War"
The filming of "Dark War" was conducted in secret, without even holding a press conference when production started. All the actors who joined the cast signed confidentiality agreements.
This is a habit of the "Dark War" director. He dislikes having his work excessively exposed to the public eye during filming. Therefore, his projects are only announced to the public after production wraps, including revealing the cast.
Originally, the director planned to announce this news tomorrow, but Huang Wankai caught everyone off guard. The wrap party scheduled for tomorrow had to be canceled, and the news about "Dark War" had to remain under wraps for now.
The replacement for the second male lead was also an issue. Fortunately, the director already had a preferred candidate in mind, but he had previously compromised due to industry pressures.
Early the next day, the director called the agent of the actor he had in mind and asked if he’d be available to step in.
Upon hearing about this opportunity, the agent quickly agreed. After all, this is a major director’s big-budget production, and the second male lead in this film is no less significant than being the male lead in other movies.
After ending the call, the agent immediately canceled several collaborations his artist was in talks for. When the artist learned he’d be appearing in "Dark War," he focused all his energy, retrieved the script, and began studying it intently, putting aside everything else.
Just as the call ended on their side, the assistant sent a message: "Dark War" is trending!
The director felt a pang of anxiety. How could it be trending? No one on their side had leaked the news, right?
