Although the dress went wrong, Su Xi still managed to find a suitable replacement before the awards ceremony. Although the red carpet process was complicated, she gradually became familiar with it after many rehearsals.

Finally, the day of the award ceremony arrived. Su Xi sat nervously in the audience, her hands clasped tightly together. When she heard that the film had won the award, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes, and her steps were trembling as she walked onto the stage.

"Thank you everyone, this award belongs to the entire team." Su Xi's voice choked, and her hands holding the trophy trembled slightly.

After the award ceremony, Su Xi thought she could relax a little, but media interviews and various celebration activities followed.

"Director Su, can you share your feelings at the moment?"

"Director Su, what impact will the success of this film have on your future career as a director?"

Facing one question after another, Su Xi tried to keep smiling and answer patiently. When she got home, it was already late at night, and she fell on the bed exhausted.

“It was a very tiring day, but it was all worth it.”

However, before she could fully enjoy the joy of winning the award, new problems arose. Some jealous competitors began to spread rumors that the film won the award through improper means.

"How can these people talk nonsense like this!" Su Xi was furious.

She had to spend time and energy to clarify these rumors and maintain the reputation of the film and the team.

While dealing with the rumors, Su Xi was also thinking about how to make the film's influence last longer. She decided to launch peripheral products of the film, such as books, posters, and figurines.

In order to ensure the quality and design of peripheral products, Su Xi personally supervises and communicates and negotiates with various suppliers.

"The color of this poster is wrong. It needs to be reprinted."

“The details of the figurine are not delicate enough and need to be improved.”

During this process, she encountered many difficulties with suppliers, who either delayed delivery or raised prices.

"How can you be so untrustworthy? That's not what you said at the beginning!" Su Xi was angry and anxious.

The online broadcast rights of the film also became a thorny issue. The quotes and conditions given by multiple video platforms were different, and Su Xi needed to carefully weigh the pros and cons.

“Although this platform has a large number of users, the revenue share is too low.”

“The revenue share of that platform is good, but the promotion resources are insufficient.”

She and her team members had countless discussions and analyses before finally making the decision.

At the same time, Su Xi also received many invitations for cooperation, including inviting her to participate in new projects and giving lectures to share her experience.

"With so many invitations, I really don't know how to choose." Su Xi felt a little confused.

At home, Shen Xiangtai's work finally came to an end, and he had more time to support Su Xi.

"Xi'er, don't be too tired, I will always be by your side." Shen Xiangtai's company made Su Xi feel warm and at ease.

Baby's studies abroad are gradually getting on track, and he is proud of his mother's success.

"Mom, you are my role model!"

With the support of the family and the efforts of the team, the film's peripheral products were very popular and the online broadcast also achieved a high click rate.

The success of the film's peripheral products and the high click-through rate of online broadcasts have brought Su Xi's career to a higher level, but along with it came more responsibilities and pressure.

Due to the surge in demand for peripheral products, the production capacity of the production factory could not keep up, resulting in a large backlog of orders. Su Xi had to go to the factory in person to negotiate a solution with the person in charge.

"Director Wang, we have to think of a way to increase production. There are so many orders waiting to be shipped." Su Xi said anxiously.

Director Wang shook his head helplessly: "Director Su, it's not that we don't think of a solution. The workers are already working overtime and the equipment is running at full capacity."

Su Xi frowned: "Can we introduce new equipment or add production lines?"

Director Wang looked embarrassed: "This will take time and money."

Coming out of the factory, Su Xi was filled with anxiety: "What should I do? I can't let the fans wait too long."

At the same time, the online streaming platform hoped that Su Xi could participate in some promotional activities to further increase the popularity of the film. However, Su Xi's schedule was already full and she had no time at all.

"Director Su, can you squeeze out a day to do an online live interaction?" asked the platform manager.

Su Xi smiled bitterly and replied: "It's really impossible. I still have a lot of things to deal with here."

In order to solve these problems, Su Xi worked until late at night every day and was exhausted.

"I don't even have time to breathe all day long." She couldn't help but complain to Shen Xiangtai.

Shen Xiangtai said distressedly: "Xier, don't push yourself too hard, your health is more important."

Su Xi shook her head: "No, this is a critical period, we can't relax."

At this time, some jealous people in the industry began to make small moves behind the scenes. They spread rumors that Su Xi's film plagiarized other people's ideas, which made Su Xi fall into the whirlpool of public opinion.

"This is pure fabrication!" Su Xi said angrily.

She had to spend a lot of time and energy collecting evidence and preparing a clarification statement.

"These people are so despicable that they would do anything to discredit me."

During this process, some former partners began to waver and took a wait-and-see attitude towards continuing the cooperation.

"Director Su, our cooperation may have to be suspended until this matter is resolved." Su Xi felt chilled by his partner's words.

But Su Xi was not defeated by these difficulties. She firmly believed that the innocent would be cleared. After hard work, she finally succeeded in issuing a clarification statement, proving the originality of the film and restoring her reputation.

"Finally, we are cleared of all charges." Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as the film became popular, some lawless elements produced pirated peripheral products and sold them on the market, which seriously affected the sales of genuine products.

"These piracy products are so despicable, they must be cracked down on!" Su Xi was furious.

She joined hands with relevant departments to launch an anti-counterfeiting operation, traveling between various markets and law enforcement agencies.

"We must find out the source of these pirated products and not let them go unpunished."

In the process of fighting counterfeiting, Su Xi encountered various obstacles and difficulties. Some businesses refused to cooperate, and some local law enforcement was not strong enough.

"Why is this so difficult to deal with!" Su Xi felt very frustrated.

But she did not give up. After a period of hard work, the anti-counterfeiting campaign achieved certain results and the market was purified to a certain extent.

While Su Xi was busy with her career, some problems also occurred at home. Shen Xiangtai had health problems due to excessive work pressure.

"Xier, I've been feeling dizzy lately." Shen Xiangtai said weakly.

Su Xi quickly put down the work at hand and accompanied Shen Xiangtai to the hospital for examination.

"Doctor, how is he?" Su Xi asked anxiously.

The doctor said, "It's nothing serious, just overworked. You need to rest well."

Su Xi blamed herself and said, "It's all my fault. I was so busy with work that I ignored you."

Shen Xiangtai comforted her: "Don't say that, I understand you."

In order to take care of Shen Xiangtai, Su Xi had to temporarily slow down her work pace and try to make time to accompany him.

"Xiangtai, just rest assured and take care of your health. I'll take care of the rest."

Bao Bao is also facing the pressure of graduation abroad and is confused about his future career planning.

"Mom, I don't know what kind of job I should choose."

Su Xi patiently enlightened him: "Son, don't be anxious, think about your interests and strengths first."

Although Su Xi was distracted by family matters, she still did not forget her career. After solving one problem after another, the influence of the film continued to expand, and the sales of peripheral products also achieved great success.

"It has not been easy along the way, but seeing the results now, it's all worth it." Su Xi said with emotion.

As the popularity of the film gradually faded, Su Xi began to think about her next plan. She knew that in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry, she could not be satisfied with the existing achievements and must continue to innovate and break through.

"We can't always rely on old products, we need to have new works," Su Xi said at a team meeting.

So she began to prepare a new film project. However, finding a suitable script became a problem.

"These scripts either lack novelty or do not suit my style." Su Xi flipped through piles of scripts with a frown on his face.

She mobilized the resources around her and contacted many screenwriters, but she still couldn't find a work that satisfied her.

"Isn't there any good idea?" Su Xi felt a little frustrated.

Just when she was about to give up, the work of a young screenwriter caught her attention.

“This is interesting, but it still needs some polishing.”

Su Xi had an in-depth exchange with the screenwriter and put forward his own ideas and suggestions. After repeated revisions, the script finally took shape.

The next step is to form a crew. Casting is a key step, and Su Xi hopes to find actors who have both acting skills and fit the role.

"This actor has a good image, but his acting skills need to be further examined."

"That actor's acting is great, but his schedule is not right."

The casting process was full of entanglement and hesitation, and Su Xi and the team members argued endlessly about it.

"I think acting should be the main focus, and the image can be adjusted through makeup and styling."

"But if the image doesn't meet the audience's expectations, it will also affect the box office."

Finally, after layers of screening, the main actors were determined.

However, the problem of funding was once again put in front of them. Since most of the profits from the previous film were invested in peripheral products and anti-counterfeiting operations, the budget for the new film was limited.

"We have to find a way to attract investment, otherwise it will be difficult to start this film."

Su Xi began to run around and negotiate with major investors.

"Our project has great potential, and I hope you will consider investing."

However, many investors are cautious about new projects and are unwilling to take risks easily.

"Director Su, although your last film was a success, the new project is too risky. We need to re-evaluate it."

Faced with repeated rejections, Su Xi felt a little lost.

"Are you just going to give up like this?"

Just when she felt desperate, an old friend with whom she had worked before reached out to help.

"Su Xi, I believe in your ability and am willing to invest in your new film."

With the financial support, the crew was successfully formed and began the intense filming. However, many problems were encountered during the filming process.

Changes in the weather affected the shooting progress, the actors’ emergencies required temporary adjustments to the shooting plan, and there were also some errors in the arrangement of props and scenes.

"It keeps raining. We can't shoot outside. We have to adjust the shooting order quickly."

"The lead actor is sick and has asked for leave, so let's shoot the supporting roles first."

"Why is this prop different from what is described in the script? Prepare it again!"

Su Xi has to deal with various emergencies every day and is extremely busy.

“Filmmaking is really full of challenges.”

But she always maintained a firm belief that the film would be a success.

In between shootings, Su Xi also has to take time to pay attention to the progress of post-production and communicate with the special effects team and editors.

"The effect of this special effect is not realistic enough, optimize it further."

“The pace of editing is a bit slow, it needs to be more compact.”

She pays attention to every detail and strives for perfection.

After several months of hard work, the film was finally finished. Su Xi looked at the finished work with great anticipation.

“I hope this film can bring surprises to the audience.”

As the film entered the post-production stage, Su Xi's pressure did not ease at all. She stayed in the editing room every day, working with the editor to carefully carve out every frame.

"The transition of the plot in this section is a bit abrupt. Can it be more natural?" Su Xi said, pointing at the screen.

The editor nodded: "Director Su, I'll try again."

The choice of music is also a key link. Su Xi listened to countless musical materials just to find the melody that best sets off the atmosphere of the film.

"The emotion of this song is not full enough, let's find another one."

At the same time, the publicity work was also in full swing. Su Xi worked with the publicity team to plan the publicity plan and produce posters and trailers.

"This poster doesn't have enough visual impact. Please redesign it."

"The trailer should highlight the highlights and features of the film to attract the audience's attention."

During this process, Su Xi also had to communicate with investors constantly, report on the progress of the film, and ensure that they remained confident in the project.

"Dear investors, the post-production of the film is currently progressing smoothly and I believe it will bring satisfactory returns to everyone."

As for the family, Shen Xiangtai gradually recovered and returned to work. Bao Bao also found an ideal job abroad.

"Xier, you don't have to worry about family, just focus on making your movie." Shen Xiangtai said.

The baby also said on the phone: "Mom, I believe your new movie will be a success."

The support from her family made Su Xi feel warm and encouraged.

Finally, the film completed all post-production and was ready to be released. Su Xi waited anxiously for the audience's test.

At the premiere, Su Xi sat nervously in the audience, clenching her hands tightly. When the film ended and the audience burst into warm applause, tears welled up in her eyes.

"It seems that this effort has not been in vain."

After the film was released, the box office was booming and the word of mouth was very good. Su Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that she had succeeded again.

“It was a team effort.”

However, Su Xi is not satisfied with her current achievements. She has already begun to conceive her next work and is ready to take on new challenges.

“There is no end to the road of film, I will keep moving forward.”
