For now, the only role that had its performer confirmed was Nancy Hanks, and Daisie would play her.
And Shannon had been going through and considering suitable actors for the other two leading roles,
namely Simon Winchester and Xenos Yates.
When the screenwriter asked Daisie for her opinion, she was stunned.
"Do you want my opinion?"
Shannon waved his hand and explained, "It’s okay, Daisie.You have also read the script and the
original novel.You can recommend who you think is the most suitable actor for the roles."
Daisie stared at Zephir.
Zephir nodded with a smile.She rubbed her chin and gave it a thought.
After all, those two characters were supposed to be gay in Freyja’s original novels.
However, after her copyright to the novel was acquired by others and changes were made to the
original copy, the rather sensitive LGBT relationship was changed into a brotherhood.
Simon Winchester was a reporter and was once the son of a wealthy family.
Because of the tragedy that had happened to his parents in his earlier years, he had a great obsession
with serial murders.
That was why he snuck into a press agency anonymously and used his identity as a reporter to
investigate what happened 20 years ago.He later discovered that the serial killer's modus operandi 20
years later was related to the tragic death of his parents back then.
And Xenos Yates was the detective in charge of investigating the serial murders, and he regarded
Simon Winchester, whose behavior was quite mysterious, as a suspect.
The two got to know each other more through their respective investigation.
Simon Winchester was set to be a withdrawn, unfit, taciturn, paranoid, vigilant, and sensitive person.
His only focus in life was to find out the person who murdered his parents.
As for the character set of Xenos Yates, he was set to be a slightly careless person, someone who
thought out of the box, was sloppy, and looked unreliable but could stay calm and think wisely at the
critical moment.He had good skills and a rather unhealthy addiction to tobacco and alcohol.
Xenos Yates was a 32-year-old tough and rough man.
As long as his acting skills were strong and his age was appropriate, any actor who could smoke and
drink could play him.
And Simon Winchester’s age was set at 21—he was very young and looked elegant and fine, just like a
woman.
But what Daisie had in mind was James.She hesitated for a moment and suggested slowly, "How about
we let James try out for this role?"
Everyone present was shocked, especially the screenwriters.
"James? As in James Tell?"
The producer looked at Shannon, who remained silent and asked directly, "Ms.Vanderbilt, James’ age
and image are indeed in line with that of Simon Winchester’s, but if you want him to play Simon
Winchester, I’m afraid it'll be difficult for the audience to accept it, won’t it?"
James rarely acted in movies.
Even if he were to be offered the opportunity to act, he had always been given roles such as ignorant
young masters or sons of some filthy rich families.His acting skills could be said to be very limited, and
he had risen to popularity only because of Charlie's keen vision.
