After returning from the award ceremony with great success, Su Xi and her team had no time to enjoy the honor before new challenges came one after another.

The success of the film has made the audience full of expectations for the sequel, and the investors also struck while the iron was hot and proposed to start the filming plan of the sequel as soon as possible.

"Director Su, the audience's demand is so high, we must hurry up and release the sequel to seize the market." The representative of the investment party said anxiously at the meeting.

Su Xi frowned. "A sequel can't be made just by saying so. The script, actors, funding, every aspect needs to be carefully prepared."

Back in the office, Su Xi fell into deep thought, "It's not easy to come up with a satisfactory sequel script in such a short time."

The screenwriter team began to work day and night, but the process was not smooth.

"The plot isn't original enough to surpass the first film."

“The character development is somewhat abrupt and illogical.”

Su Xi raised one question after another at the discussion meeting, and the screenwriters looked at each other in confusion, feeling tremendous pressure.

"Director Su, it's really hard to achieve perfection with such tight time." A screenwriter couldn't help but complain.

Su Xi also understands everyone's difficulties, but she cannot lower her standards. "The audience has high expectations of us. If the quality of the sequel is not good, it will ruin our reputation."

Casting was also fraught with difficulties. Coordination of the original cast became a major problem, as some actors were unable to join the crew on time due to other work arrangements.

"Director Su, I really can't spare the time. Can you adjust the shooting schedule?" A leading actor called.

Su Xi shook her head helplessly. "The entire shooting plan is tightly arranged. Once adjusted, it will affect the entire progress."

The auditions of new actors also gave Su Xi a headache. "The performances were too stiff and lacked the soul of the characters."

"The image and temperament do not match the role."

After an audition, Su Xi couldn't help but complain, "Why is it so difficult to find a suitable actor?"

In terms of funding, although the success of the first film made investors willing to make additional investments, it was still far from enough for the big production that Su Xi had envisioned.

"This amount of money is simply not enough to achieve the special effects and scenes I want." Su Xi argued with the investors at the negotiation table.

"Director Su, we also have to consider the risks and returns and cannot invest blindly." The investor's attitude was firm.

At the same time, outside attention and public opinion also brought tremendous pressure to Su Xi.

"Can Su Xi's sequel create another success?"

"Don't ruin the classic of the first film by adding a poor imitation to it."

Various speculations and doubts were heard everywhere, and Su Xi felt exhausted.

"Everyone is waiting to see me make a fool of myself, and I can't let them succeed."

At home, Shen Xiangtai saw Su Xi's tired look and said distressedly: "Xi'er, don't push yourself too hard."

Su Xi sighed, "I don't want to either, but I can't let everyone down."

The baby called from abroad, "Mom, come on, I believe you can do it."

Su Xi cheered up, "Son, Mom will try her best."

In order to find inspiration, Su Xi took the screenwriter team to various places to collect folk songs, hoping to dig out fresh story elements from life.

"The local customs and practices here may give us some inspiration."

“That legend could be incorporated into the script.”

However, during the field trip, we encountered many unexpected situations, such as sudden weather changes and disruptions to our itinerary.

"Why do all these bad things happen to us?"
