Su Xi led her team through many twists and turns on the road of collecting folk songs, but she still did not give up looking for creative inspiration. After returning to the studio, she immediately devoted herself to the preparations for the sequel.

"Although we encountered a lot of trouble during this field trip, we also gained something. Everyone should think carefully about how to incorporate it into the script." Su Xi said at the team meeting.

The screenwriters all nodded and began to work hard. However, a new problem arose. Due to the success of the first film, many actors began to raise their salaries.

"Isn't this taking advantage of someone's misfortune? We all worked together in the beginning, and now that we've achieved some results you start making demands." Su Xi said angrily.

The agent explained helplessly: "Director Su, this is also the norm in the industry. How do you think we should deal with it?"

Su Xi gritted her teeth and said, "According to our budget, if they are not willing, we can find other suitable actors."

In order to find cost-effective and suitable actors, Su Xi and the casting director looked at countless materials and audition videos.

"This actor's acting skills are OK, but he's not famous enough."

"That actor is famous, but his price is too high."

Su Xi was very confused and complained in her heart: "Why is it harder than climbing to the sky to choose an actor?"

Su Xi also encountered difficulties when discussing scene design with the art team.

"Director Su, the budget for the grand and exquisite scenes you requested may exceed the budget." The art director looked embarrassed.

Su Xi frowned: "Try to do the best within the budget. If it really doesn't work, we will find a way to adjust it."

At the same time, investors kept urging Su Xi to speed up the progress, putting tremendous pressure on her.

"Su Xi, time waits for no one, the market is changing rapidly, we have to start as soon as possible."

Su Xi couldn't help but retort: "Quality is the key. If you make shoddy products just to meet deadlines, it's better not to shoot at all."

During these busy days, Su Xi's health began to deteriorate. Long-term fatigue and mental stress caused her to suffer from insomnia and headaches.

"Oh, my body is not doing well. It fails at the critical moment." Su Xi massaged his temples while forcing himself to continue working.

Shen Xiangtai looked distressed and said, "Xier, you can't go on like this, you need to take a rest."

Su Xi shook her head: "No, now is a critical moment, I can't rest."

The baby is always worried about his mother when he is abroad and calls to show his concern every day.

"Mom, you have to take care of yourself and don't work too hard."

Su Xi always comforts her son: "Son, don't worry about mommy, mommy can hold on."

In order to save costs, Su Xi personally negotiated with various suppliers to get the best prices.

"Boss, we are in long-term cooperation, please give us some discounts."

"This is already the lowest price, it really can't be lowered any further."

Su Xi tried to persuade him: "If everyone makes concessions to each other, the business can last long."

When the script writing entered a critical stage, disagreements arose within the writing team.

"I think the plot should develop like this, it's more dramatic."

"No, that doesn't fit the character's personality and would be very abrupt."

Su Xi had to spend a lot of time mediating: "Everyone calm down, our goal is the same, which is to make a good script."

After countless discussions and revisions, the script was finally completed. But Su Xi still felt uneasy, as she always felt that there were still areas that needed to be improved.

"This script is not perfect yet. Let's polish it more carefully."

During the preparation process, Su Xi also had to deal with various media inquiries and speculations.

"Director Su, I heard that the script for the sequel encountered difficulties. Is that true?"

"Director Su, can you reveal the cast of the sequel?"

Su Xi pretended to be calm: "Everything is going smoothly, please be patient."

Despite facing numerous difficulties, Su Xi never gave up. She firmly believed that as long as she persisted, she would be able to overcome all problems and make a sequel that would satisfy the audience.
