Casting Supergirl

They saw Bayonetta and Jeanne leave safely.

Li Chen stopped observing.

His thoughts were constantly on the two women, worried that the two witches might get hurt.

But clearly, this Blood Clan named Lilith did not intend to harm them.

Dracula?

Li Chen thought to himself, "Dracula's name is famous in every world."

In the Marvel Universe, Dracula is clearly a formidable opponent.

The main point is that Dracula is almost 'indestructible'.

Even if you kill him, he will come back to life.

In the comics, even Death, one of the Five Cosmic Entities, could not completely kill Dracula.

His unique characteristics forced even the God of Death to cease hostilities.

This left Li Chen speechless.

Deadpool wasn't this outrageous!

He wasn't afraid of a powerful enemy, but what was the point if the enemy was like an unkillable cockroach?

Moreover, even the spell Lilith mentioned is not permanent.

The spell in "The Darkhold" has a special effect.

If it can be activated, it can naturally be deactivated.

Once someone breaks the curse, everything will return to normal.

Or rather, this is a characteristic of the Marvel Universe.

Regardless, this is getting interesting.

Li Chen pinched Gwen Stacy, Gwen Stacy whimpered. Now was not the time to worry about such things.

"Wen, what's wrong?"

The next day, Li Chen received a call from James Wan at the company.

He didn't communicate much with James Wan, who was rather dull, and their social standing was also different.

Of course, he knew very well that James Wan was grateful to him.

After all, if it weren't for Li Chen, James Wan doesn't know how long he would have to wait to get a chance to produce a big-budget film.

One of the absurd things about Hollywood is that capital doesn't easily trust someone; you have to prove your abilities before you're even considered.

And here's the problem: how can someone who has never proven themselves get their first chance?

It's like a company that requires employees to have several years of work experience when hiring, but also looks for 'recent graduates'.

Although James Wan has produced several horror films, and they have all been quite successful, no one still believes he can make good commercial films.

Hollywood moguls know that horror films can be a high-return investment, but they also naturally look down on them.

What they love are always big-budget, commercial films.

James Wan said, "Boss, filming is in post-production. Shouldn't we start casting the Supergirl actresses?"

"What? So fast?"

Li Chen checked the time; James Wan was indeed a genius.

Not only do they know how to save money on films, but they also shoot quickly.

His Superman 2 is almost finished filming, while Zack Snyder's Batman 2 is still nowhere in sight.

"Then I'll choose immediately."

Li Chen asked, "When will the post-production of the movie be finished?"

"It will be finished soon, by the end of August."

James Wan spoke up.

"Then it will be released at the end of this year."

Li Chen immediately made a decision: since the decision had been made to release the film, then the promotion had to begin.

These days, movie promotion is more important than anything else; otherwise, nobody will know your movie has been released.

As for who should play Supergirl, Li Chen already had an idea.

In accordance with Hollywood tradition, such major roles usually require auditions and competition.

After all, no one would joke around with an investment of tens or hundreds of millions.

Even directors and producers can only arrange a few insignificant roles at most; important roles are not something they can decide.

For example, Zack Snyder, Li Chen vaguely heard people say that he was quite the player.

But this is Hollywood; as long as the movie is well-made, it doesn't matter.

After all, movies are the foundation.

In Li Chen's case, the important roles are designated by him.

Because he had never made a mistake before, many people trusted him.

So, Li Chen called Yelena.

"Hello?"

Soon, Yelena's languid voice drifted over.

Yelena has expressed her envy of Natasha more than once; she also wants to be on the big screen.

Even ordinary people compete, let alone 'sisters' like this.

It is precisely because the relationship is special that they want to prove that they are better than the other person.

"Still not up?"

Li Chen asked.

"I got up a long time ago."

Yelena recognized Li Chen's voice and immediately perked up. "I've never slept in late, Li, is there a mission?"

"Certainly."

Upon hearing this, Li Chen immediately changed his tone. "I have a difficult task for you."

"Tell me, who do you want to kill?"

Yelena immediately asked, her voice filled with murderous intent.

Li Chen followed her lead and said, "An alien wants to invade Earth, and I need you to deal with it."

"..."

Yelena retorted speechlessly, "Are you kidding me? Even if there were aliens, I couldn't beat them."

She's human, after all; who knows what aliens are like?

Li Chen laughed, "I didn't say it was in real life, it was in a movie. Yelena, are you interested?"

Yelena finally understood. Suppressing her excitement, she said, "Li... I can't do it, can I?"

"You have to believe in yourself. If Natasha can do it, are you any less capable than her?"

Li Chen said provocatively.

"That's impossible!"

Yelena immediately replied.

Li Chen laughed, "That's right, be confident, don't embarrass yourself."

"So, what role do you want me to play?"

Yelena asked.

Have you seen Superman?

Li Chen countered with a question.

"Of course I've seen it!"

Yelena thought back to her childhood, when she had nothing to do in Ohio State and liked to watch these kinds of things.

Then, something occurred to her. "Play Supergirl?"

"That's right, you're very smart."

Li Chen's words excited Yelena.

Everyone fantasizes about being like Superman when they're young, able to fly and dive into the earth, and do everything.

She became agitated. "I... I... but I can't act!"

Li Chen rolled his eyes.

Women are all born actresses.

And do these kinds of commercial films really need so-called 'acting skills'?

To put it bluntly, all you need to do is be pretty.

"Believe in yourself, Yelena. If I say you can do it, you can. Come to the studio right now."

Li Chen gave her the address and told her to come over as soon as possible.

After considering Yelena's qualifications, she actually fits the image of Supergirl very well.

Li Chen chose a 'cool' Supergirl, not the sweet type, and certainly not a female version of Huang Bo...

Yelena has light blonde hair; it just needs to be dyed a little darker, otherwise it's perfect.

Standing at 1.7 meters tall, with a figure that looks like a clothes hanger, her temperament goes without saying.

Of course, we'll have to wait and see how it goes in the audition.

After all, no matter what, they'll have to wear the Supergirl uniform.

As long as it's not too 'out of place', Li Chen felt there wouldn't be a big problem.

Just like a female version of Huang Bo, not to mention her underbite, even with Supergirl uniform, Gunn still dared to cast her as Supergirl.
