Although Su Xi was full of fatigue and helplessness, she knew she couldn't back down. The next morning, she appeared on the set in high spirits.

The rain was still falling, Su Xi looked up at the sky, silently praying that the weather would get better as soon as possible. She decided to focus on solving the problem of actors first. After several days of screening and audition, she finally found a suitable substitute actor.

"I hope this time it goes smoothly and nothing goes wrong again." Su Xi prayed secretly in her heart.

After a new actor joins the crew, he needs to get familiar with the role and integrate into the team as soon as possible. Su Xi personally explains the plot and character characteristics to him, and also arranges other actors to help him act.

"You need to show the inner conflict of this character. Think about it more." Su Xi instructed patiently.

However, the performance styles of the new actors were somewhat different from those of the original cast, and they needed to be constantly adjusted and adapted during the filming process, which made the entire filming progress a little slower than originally planned.

"Ouch, it still doesn't feel right. Try it again!" Su Xi shouted from behind the monitor.

The new actor seemed a little nervous and frustrated, and Su Xi hurried to comfort him: "Don't worry, take your time to find the feeling, I believe you can do it."

Just then, the investor called and asked about the progress of filming and the use of funds.

"Director Su, the progress is a bit slow and the funds are overspent. You have to speed up!" The investor's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

Su Xi could only explain kindly: "We really encountered a lot of unexpected situations. We have tried our best to solve them. We will definitely not delay the release of the film."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xi felt even more stressed. In order to save time and money, she decided to optimize the shooting plan and shoot some scenes that could be completed indoors in advance.

"Everyone, please take some time to work. Let's adjust the shooting order and finish the indoor scenes first."

Although the crew members were a little tired, they still responded positively.

During the filming of the indoor scenes, we encountered problems with props and costumes. The originally scheduled batch of props and costumes were delayed due to logistics reasons, which put the filming at a standstill again.

"What's going on? Why is everything going wrong?" Su Xi couldn't help but get angry.

She quickly contacted other suppliers to see if some substitutes could be temporarily arranged.

"No matter what, we must ensure that the filming goes smoothly."

After some twists and turns, we finally found temporary props and costumes, but the results were not very ideal.

"Just use it for now and find a way to make up for it when processing the special effects later." Su Xi said helplessly.

During this period, Su Xi also had to deal with various inquiries from the media.

"Director Su, I heard that your crew is having a lot of problems. Can the film be completed on time?"

“What do you want to say about the difficulties of this shoot?”

Su Xi pretended to be calm and replied: "Please rest assured, we will overcome all difficulties and bring you a wonderful work."

When they got home, Su Xi was so tired that she collapsed on the sofa. Shen Xiangtai massaged her shoulders with concern.

"Xi'er, why don't you stop working so hard, or your body will collapse."

Su Xi shook her head: "No, so many people are counting on this movie, I can't give up."

Just when Su Xi thought everything was terrible, the weather finally cleared up.

"Great, we can finally shoot on location!" The entire crew was excited.

Everyone quickly started the location shooting. Su Xi personally directed the scene and strictly controlled every shot.

"This light is wrong, adjust it."

"The actors' expressions should be more vivid."

After several days of intense filming, more than half of the exterior scenes were finally completed.

But at this time, another piece of bad news came. Due to the previous financial constraints, the cost of post-production might not be available on time.

"What should I do? Without post-production, the film cannot be completed." Su Xi fell into anxiety again.

She began looking for new investment, and at the same time negotiated with the post-production team whether she could start work first and pay the expenses later.

"Please help us, this movie can't be ruined like this." Su Xi was almost begging.

Fortunately, after some effort, a new investor was finally willing to join, but put forward some harsh conditions.

"As long as the funding problem can be solved, any conditions can be negotiated." Su Xi gritted her teeth and agreed.

As the filming was coming to an end, Su Xi's body was almost at its limit. She often forgot to eat, was seriously sleep deprived, and lost a lot of weight.

"Director Su, you should go and take a rest. We are watching here." The crew members advised.

Su Xi shook her head: "No, it's still a little bit short, I want to see the filming finished with my own eyes."

Finally, with everyone's joint efforts, the film was successfully completed.

"Finally finished filming!" The entire crew cheered.

Su Xi looked at everyone's tired but excited faces and couldn't help but shed tears.

“It has not been easy along the way.”
