The female supporting role became popular in the survival show

Su Xi was delighted by the success of the film's premiere, but she also knew that this was just the beginning. Next, the film would have to undergo a wider test by the market and audiences.

The day after the premiere, Su Xi was woken up early by the ringing phone.

"Director Su, congratulations. The response to yesterday's premiere was great. All major media outlets are scrambling to report on it!" The assistant's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.

Su Xi rubbed her eyes. Although she felt happy, she was more calm. "Don't be too happy. Let's see how the box office and word of mouth perform in the future."

As expected, the film performed very well at the box office in the first week after its release, and most of the audience's reviews were positive.

"This movie is great, with a tight plot and beautiful pictures. Director Su Xi is really amazing!" wrote a viewer on social media.

Seeing these good reviews, Su Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, as the film continued to be screened, some negative voices gradually emerged.

“I felt like the second half of the plot was a bit dragged out and the pace wasn’t well-paced.”

“Some of the characters don’t have enough depth and are a bit superficial.”

Su Xi frowned when she saw these comments: "Oh, why are there still so many problems? Why didn't I notice it at the time?"

At the same time, the film's publicity work also encountered difficulties. Some of the originally scheduled publicity activities had to be temporarily changed due to venue and guest issues, which made the publicity team busy.

"Why did the venue change so suddenly? Wasn't it agreed upon before?" complained the publicity director.

Su Xi was also anxious and angry: "Hurry up and find a way to solve it. It can't affect the publicity of the film."

As for the cinema, due to the high popularity of the film, the allocation of the number of screenings has also caused some controversy. In order to pursue higher box office, some cinemas unreasonably increased the number of screenings, causing the interests of other films to be damaged.

"This scheduling is so unfair. Our film is obviously very good, but there are not enough screenings." Directors of other films complained about this.

Su Xi said helplessly: "The market competition is so cruel, we can only do our best."

In terms of family, Shen Xiangtai's work became increasingly busy. He often worked overtime until late at night, and when he returned home, Su Xi had already fallen asleep.

"I haven't had a good chat with Xier these days. I feel like she is carrying the pressure of the movie alone, but I can't help her much." Shen Xiangtai felt a little guilty.

The baby was always paying attention to the situation at home when he was abroad. When he called back and heard that his parents were tired, he said distressedly: "Mom and Dad, you must take care of your health and don't tire yourselves out."

Su Xi comforted the baby: "Don't worry, son, we can handle it."

To address these issues, Su Xi frequently met with the team to discuss solutions.

"Everyone, please think of ways to improve the reputation of the film and solve the problems of publicity and scheduling." Su Xi said anxiously at the meeting.

Team members also offered suggestions.

"We can add some online interactive activities to allow the audience to have a deeper understanding of the film's creative background."

"Why don't we communicate with the cinema again and try to get a more reasonable screening schedule?"

With everyone's joint efforts, the film's reputation gradually recovered and the box office continued to rise. But Su Xi did not let down her guard. She knew that in this fiercely competitive market, she could not relax for a moment.

"The water in the entertainment industry is so deep, every step is like walking on thin ice." Su Xi couldn't help but complain.

At this time, another challenge was placed before her. A rival company released a film of the same type and promoted it heavily in an attempt to grab market share.

"Aren't you deliberately going against us?" Su Xi said angrily.

But she also understands that getting angry will not solve the problem, and she can only work harder to improve the quality and influence of her films.

So, Su Xi threw herself into her busy work again, busying herself for the follow-up development of the film.
