The female supporting role became popular in the survival show

After a series of successes and challenges, Su Xi had new ideas about her career. During a discussion with her peers, she came up with the idea of transitioning to being a director behind the scenes.

"Xiangtai, I've been thinking about this recently. I want to try to become a director and tell stories in a completely new way." One night, Su Xi leaned on Shen Xiangtai's shoulder and said softly.

Shen Xiangtai was slightly stunned, then he showed a supportive smile: "Xier, as long as you want to do it, I support you. But being a director is not an easy job, are you ready?"

Su Xi nodded with a firm look in her eyes: "I know it will be hard, but I want to challenge myself and present the story in my heart perfectly on the screen."

After deciding to change her career, Su Xi began to devote herself to preparing her first work. She first spent a lot of time reading various books and materials related to directors, learning about shooting techniques, lens use, and scene scheduling.

"Oh, this director has so much to learn. I feel like my head is going to explode." One afternoon, Su Xi rubbed his temple and complained to Shen Xiangtai beside him.

Shen Xiangtai smiled and handed her a cup of coffee: "Take your time, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Su Xi was even more demanding in the creation of scripts. She often locked herself in her study and wrote for more than ten hours, forgetting to eat and rest.

"This plot always feels not exciting enough. How should I change it?" Su Xi muttered to herself, her hair a little messy from being pulled by her.

Bao Bao called from abroad and asked with concern: "Mom, I heard that you want to be a director. Don't work too hard and take care of your health."

Su Xi smiled and replied: "Don't worry, son, mom knows what's going on."

Casting is also an important step. Su Xi and her team interviewed many actors, and sometimes they had heated discussions with the team because of different understandings of a certain role.

"I think this actor's temperament doesn't fit the role setting. We can't just look at his fame." Su Xi argued at the casting meeting.

At the same time, in order to find a suitable shooting location, Su Xi ran to every corner of the city.

"The environment here is nice, but the transportation is not very convenient, which is really frustrating." Su Xi stood in front of an abandoned factory with a frown on his face.

Funding was also a big problem during the preparation process. In order to attract investment, Su Xi had to attend various business events.

"These social engagements are really a headache, but I have to endure it for the sake of my work." Su Xi returned home and leaned back on the sofa tiredly.

Shen Xiangtai massaged her shoulders lovingly: "Xier, if it's too hard, let's take it easy."

Su Xi shook her head: "No, we have come this far, we can't give up."

Su Xi also personally prepared the costumes and props, not missing any details.

"The material of this dress is wrong. Find another one." Su Xi said to the staff.

Finally, after several months of intense preparation, everything was basically ready. However, just before the start of filming, the original leading actor was unable to participate due to schedule issues, which threw the entire crew into chaos.

"How could this happen? Isn't this the critical moment that caused the failure?" Su Xi was extremely anxious.

Shen Xiangtai comforted her: "Don't panic, let's think of a way together and find a suitable actor again."

So, Su Xi and the team started the urgent casting work again. After several days and nights of screening and auditions, they finally found a satisfactory replacement.

On the day of the start of filming, Su Xi stood on the set, her heart filled with nervousness and anticipation.

"This is my first work, it must be a success." Su Xi secretly encouraged herself.

With the sound of the clapperboard, the shooting officially began. Su Xi stared at the monitor intently, constantly directing the actors' performances and adjusting the shooting angle and lighting.

"Stop! This expression is wrong, try again."

"The light should be brighter, the effect is not good."

After a day of shooting, Su Xi collapsed in a chair exhausted.

“It’s really not easy to be a director,” she sighed.

But looking at the filmed materials, she felt that all the hard work was worth it.

In the following days, the filming was carried out in an intense and orderly manner. Su Xi was busy on the set every day, solving one problem after another and dealing with various emergencies.

"The rain scene wasn't shot well, so we have to reshoot it."

"The budget for post-production special effects has exceeded the budget. We need to find a way to reduce costs."

Despite all the difficulties, Su Xi never thought of giving up. With her persistence and hard work, the film gradually took shape.

When the last shot was completed, Su Xi couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.

"It's finally done. This is the hard work of all of us," she said to the entire crew.

What followed was the intense post-production, and Su Xi was thrown into a new round of battle.

"The music doesn't have enough atmosphere, so we need to re-arrange it."

"There's something wrong with the rhythm of the editing, let's adjust it."

After countless days and nights of hard work, the film was finally completed. At the premiere, Su Xi nervously waited for the audience's reaction.

When Su Xi saw that the audience was deeply moved by the film and the applause continued, he knew that he had taken the first successful step on his transformation path.

"Xiangtai, we succeeded!" Su Xi hugged Shen Xiangtai tightly, her eyes full of joy and pride.
