In Xia Chuyiâs current work at "Youwei," the most important thing is to wait for the shooting of the movie "Struggle" to finish and then be released.
After the incident with Wang Zicheng was resolved, not much time had passed.
The movie that Xia Chuyi invested in, "Struggle," was finally about to be completed.
On the day of the wrap-up, Xia Chuyi also joined the crew to celebrate with the director and others.
The director from the neighboring production crew came as well.
As soon as the director arrived, Xia Chuyi noticed a gloomy expression on his face.
"Director, whatâs the matter? Do you have something on your mind?" Xia Chuyi asked when she saw the director like this.
Upon hearing Xia Chuyiâs question, the director immediately sighed and said, "Chuyi, thereâs something, I need a word with you in private, if you donât mind..."
The directorâs expression showed a bit of guilt as he looked at Xia Chuyi.
Seeing this, Xia Chuyi frowned, not understanding what had happened to this future famous director.
"Do you want to talk to me about something?" Xia Chuyi nodded, "No problem."
Then, she and the director moved to the side.
"Director, go ahead, what is it?"
Upon hearing her, the director sighed again and said, "Chuyi, didnât we order braised pork rice from your place two days ago?"
"We hadnât settled the payment at the time..." He paused slightly, showing a helpless expression, "So, can you be flexible about this payment?"
"Can I pay you later, when Iâm over there?" the director asked.
"Is that all?" Xia Chuyi smiled, "Thatâs no problem, I believe your movie will sell well, so you wonât owe me this little money in the end."
Upon hearing this, the director gave a wry smile and said, "You do have confidence in our movie..."
Hearing the director say this, Xia Chuyi raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "What? Did something go wrong with the movie?"
"Sigh..." Hearing Xia Chuyi ask, the director sighed again, "Iâm not sure if I can continue with this movie..."
"What?" The directorâs words shocked Xia Chuyi, and she immediately asked, "How could it not go on?"
Clearly, Xia Chuyi remembered that this movie had been shot smoothly and was released, becoming a classic in the history of Z country cinema.
Now, the director said it couldnât proceed.
Xia Chuyi truly didnât know if she had remembered it wrong, or if this was an inherent issue in the filmâs production process.
After a brief consideration, Xia Chuyi said, "Director, I donât think you need to be so pessimistic. When thereâs no way out, you might find a new path unexpectedly..."
"I believe your movie will definitely proceed smoothly," Xia Chuyi said firmly.
However, the director shook his head and said, "Itâs not about whether it can proceed smoothly, but rather..."
"Even if itâs shot, it might not be what I want anymore." The director said earnestly.
Hearing the director say this, Xia Chuyi was even more surprised and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Although Xia Chuyi was a collaborator with the "Struggle" crew, her relationship with this neighboring crewâs director was quite harmonious.
After hearing Xia Chuyiâs question, the director seemed eager to share and decided to tell Xia Chuyi the reason.
