Contract Marriage: Let's Make It Real, Mrs. Sterling!-Chapter 255 - 246: Character Poster Release

In the shooting studio, they first took individual photos of Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling, and then took some of the two of them together.

The photographer felt addicted while looking at the two of them through the lens; they were just too photogenic, their visuals were a perfect match.

Suddenly, it seemed that the male and female leads were overshadowed. With these two present, it truly left no room for the main leads.

However, that’s exactly how it is with the Goddess and the ancient Demon Lord in the script.

The main leads are more focused on fitting the storyline, although their looks aren’t bad, if there’s no comparison.

Soon, the shooting was over, truly a few hours of makeup for just a few minutes of shooting.

The main reason was that the two didn’t need any direction; they could adjust their state and pace on their own, greatly improving efficiency.

After finishing, the photographer looked at the many extra shots he couldn’t resist taking. Others’ photos might need some selection, but every picture of these two was flawless, with a 360-degree perfection and no dead angles.

Lastly, there was a group photo of the main personnel in the series to serve as a promotional poster.

After the shoot, Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling went to remove their makeup. Because many eyes were on the crew, they didn’t leave together, each went their own way.

...

After the crew finished shooting the character posters, the post-production began in earnest, as it was shot against a green screen, leaving a lot of subsequent work to be done.

However, the crew was extremely efficient, announcing it officially on the third day.

Initially, when the God and Demon Technique’s crew finished the casting, they tagged the main stars, both first-line actors with remarkable acting skills.

Then they tagged the important roles, with Jensen Sterling’s special appearance shocking quite a few people.

After all, it was Jensen’s first time starring in a TV series in years, and in a fantasy genre at that.

As soon as this news came out, it sparked a wave of heated discussions online, with the discussions about God and Demon Technique remaining highly active.

And now, not long after, the character posters were released.

As soon as the posters were out, fans rushed over swiftly. Many were fans of the lead actors and various book fans since the series was adapted from a highly popular online novel, the original readers paid strong attention to it.

Aside from discussions about the leads, when Stacy Shields’ actor was officially announced, it also sparked an online war.

Mia Sutton’s portrayal of Stacy Shields almost got blasted by book fans in a rage.

[OMG, an idol, coming to act, it’s fine if they act, but can you handle the role of my Stacy Shields, who gave you the courage to accept this role?]

[Although I admit you are very beautiful, Stacy Shields is not just about beauty, isn’t adding another pretty face a waste?]

[I really don’t understand what the production was thinking, can’t they cast properly? Is it true that any random person can act now?]

[I beg you, please spare Stacy Shields, she is my unresolved grievance.]

[I wonder how much money was slipped to get into this crew.]

[Although I’m also a book fan, before the final result is out, I hope the director will do a good job, please don’t ruin the original work.]

There were so many voices like this, so much so that Mia Sutton’s Weibo was almost overrun. Of course, not all were book fans; most were actually anti-fans and keyboard warriors, just stirring up trouble.

All seemed to be urging her not to mess up the production or ruin Stacy Shields.

And now with the character posters out, these people must have quickly come to the scene, though it was only a part. Most people were more focused on the drama itself.

The official God and Demon Technique crew initially released a large poster, including the important figures.

The whole poster was exquisitely made, instantly garnering praise.

[This makeup, this production, is just absolute. I declare, I definitely want to follow this series.]

[Domestic fantasy dramas haven’t had such a revival in a long time; this series rekindles my hope.]

[The crew has certainly put in effort; I’m in love with this styling—seeing the same old hairstyles, real effort was put into this, this is what a fantasy genre should look like.]

Apart from these praises, a significant portion still had major controversies surrounding the role of Stacy Shields; even they fell silent for a moment upon seeing the poster.

Mia Sutton and Jensen Sterling were not the main leads, so they didn’t take up much space on the poster.

Albeit small, their presence was very noticeable—their high visuals were impossible to ignore.

Stacy Shields on the poster was in her early costume, with a radiant smile, quirky and mischievous, aptly captured by the poster.

Book fans: "..." Does it seem... pretty good?

Anti-fans: "..." How do I even criticize this?

Keyboard warriors: "..." Let me think of a way to criticize.

But sometimes, some people are just blind, turning black into white at will, not to mention things like these.

These keyboard warriors are like parasites never seeing the light, hiding behind to type away.

[It’s just a poster, no telling how long it took to achieve such results, yet actually still a good-for-nothing pretty face.]

As such words surfaced, the crew released actor solo posters promptly, one after another, starting with the main roles, then the secondary ones.

Then the posters featuring Stacy Shields and Julian Ford were released.

There weren’t many, just three: one solo poster for Mia Sutton, one for Jensen Sterling, and one duo poster.

Jensen Sterling’s poster featured his early look as the ancient Demon Lord, while Mia Sutton’s was her final look as the Goddess of the Nine Heavens.

In the joint poster, Mia was in her early costume, with the Demon Lord sitting on a chair, holding a scroll, and Stacy Shields softly lying on his lap, clutching at his coat, with a half-drawn picture on the hem of her clothing.

The girl’s mischievous smile and playful, clever nature immediately stood out.

Her solo poster conveyed distant, cold aura miles away, starkly contrasting with this quirky look and instantly immersing people into the world of the book.

Book fans: Just by the poster alone, it seems really good, the visuals are high, the vibe is right, this is their ideal Stacy Shields.

But a portion of people seemed like they were blind, insisting on making vulgar comments below.

The crew had been busy with various things for the past few days, not paying much heed to this group of people. Now that the preliminary work was sorted, they looked at these people still bouncing around.

The director looked at the comments and sneered: "I bow to capital, choosing actors without considering acting skills?"

Then turned to ask the staff: "Is the audition video of Mia Sutton ready?"

"It’s ready, director."

The director: "Release it now."

Coldly saying: "I want to see just how I supposedly bowed to capital."
