With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

The producers knew that even if they gritted their teeth and released the film, they would definitely lose a fortune. So they temporarily withdrew it from the release date and spent more than half a year using AI face-swapping technology to replace the actor with another male actor. Finally, it was released during the National Day holiday the following year, and the film was a huge box office success, winning the box office champion of that year.

As for Wang Su, he never recovered from this setback and soon faded from public view due to the domestic violence incident.

Hui Yang, the company's boss, was aware of Wang Su's domestic violence problem and even mediated between the couple, as the woman was also an actress in the industry.

He just didn't expect that Miss Shen would have such a premonition.

"Miss Shen, isn't it a bit far-fetched for you to make such a judgment based solely on your impressions?" Hui Yang asked cautiously.

Some people nodded in agreement: "That's right, I only felt reassured about this project after seeing the male and female leads."

"That's right, if Mr. Wang Su were to star in it, the audience would be very receptive."

"Miss Shen is so young, you wouldn't be thinking of getting one of your favorite male idols into the cast as the male lead, would you? Don't ruin such a good project."

"Comedy demands a lot from actors; not just anyone can act in it."

Shen Ci simply smiled upon hearing this, and only after everyone had finished speaking did she say, "Isn't there another male comedian who is on par with Wang Su?"

Suddenly, Boss Yang spoke up: "Is the young lady talking about Sun Zhe?"

Shen Ci nodded. The face that was later replaced by AI in her previous life was Sun Zhe's face.

Then someone else chimed in, "Sun Zhe is good too; he's also a movie star with millions in box office revenue."

"Indeed, I have no objection if Sun Zhe replaces Wang Su."

"I have no objection either!"

Everyone else was in agreement except for Huiyang.

Since Sun Zhe is not an actor from their company, Hui Yang, as one of the producers, would definitely want his own company's actors to be the lead actors in such a project.

“I know Mr. Hui is definitely unwilling, but this condition is necessary. If you don’t agree, I won’t invest a single penny.” Shen Ci looked at Hui Yang and made a serious statement.

Hui Yang gave a wry smile: "Has Miss Shen come to dislike Wang Su to this extent?"

Shen Ci smiled without saying a word. What kind of pleasantries could she possibly give to a man who hits women?

Hui Yang was hesitant. Shen Ci was now undoubtedly a major investor in the project, and he was unwilling to offend her, since he might need her investment in the future.

However, if they back down, "Liyang" will be at a disadvantage compared to "Jinxiao" in terms of projects.

Seeing his hesitation, Shen Ci was not in a hurry: "President Hui, please consider it first, and I will mention the other conditions later."

It's normal for investors to make demands, Huiyang nodded slightly.

Shen Ci raised her finger and pointed to the character profile of the second female lead. It was just a short sentence. The candidate was still pending, but there were several names on the shortlist, all of whom were popular actresses from the two companies.

She smiled and looked up at Dai Sirong: "Let Teacher Dai play the second female lead!"

Dai Sirong was still out of sorts, because when Shen Ci said he wanted to invest 32,000, all she could think of was the arrogant attitude she had deliberately adopted when she first entered the room.

She even thought he was just a minor actor who was there to keep her company.

Suddenly, the other party looked at her and said that she wanted to play the second female lead. Dai Sirong was obviously surprised and her face was full of disbelief.

"Huh?" Dai Sirong looked at Shen Ci with a slightly stunned expression, clearly not having reacted yet.

Shen Ci calmly looked at the character introduction of the second female lead and said quietly, "The character's positioning is very suitable for Teacher Dai. I think Teacher Dai's acting skills are more than enough to handle the role."

"Ah, this..." Dai Sirong came back to her senses, both surprised and delighted, but she tried her best to control her excitement.

Her purpose in coming here was to get a role. She originally just wanted a lead role; she hadn't even considered the female lead or the second female lead. After all, she had only recently transitioned to the big screen, and getting screen time in such a big project would be a great opportunity for her.

She was unwilling to take on a cameo role, but she never even dreamed of playing the second female lead.

"I've invested so much money, surely I don't even have this much right?" Shen Ci looked at Lu Jinzhao, then at the others: "Or does everyone have other opinions?"

Finally, she didn't forget to give Mr. Yang face: "What do you think, Mr. Yang?"

Mr. Yang smiled slightly and shrugged indifferently: "Si Rong is an old friend, I trust her acting skills."

After all, he had already offered a toast and touched her back. Boss Yang, who has achieved his current status, wouldn't be in a position to make things difficult for others at this time.

Seeing that Boss Yang had said so, the others naturally had no objections. Dai Sirong quickly stood up and said, "Ms. Shen, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I'd like to toast you."

When he spoke again, he used polite language.

Shen Ci raised her hand to indicate that she didn't need to: "Teacher Dai has already drunk enough today, and I'm not feeling well either, so we can drink again another time."

Shen Ci acted unusually gently because she made this decision on her behalf after Dai Sirong had just toasted Boss Yang twice.

In that atmosphere where no one dared to speak, only Dai Sirong stood up for her.

Whether it had any effect or not was not important, but at that moment Shen Ci was willing to believe that she had done that out of kindness between women.

Dai Sirong should have been more afraid of Boss Yang than of herself, but she still stepped forward.

Therefore, Shen Ci was willing to repay her and even more willing to fulfill her wishes.

Everyone could see this, and Dai Sirong belatedly realized it as well, looking at Shen Ci with a grateful gaze.

"This young lady is quite interesting." Boss Yang leaned back and whispered in Yan Wenxi's ear, "What's her background? I've really never heard of her, brother?"

"No, this is the first time we've met."

Mr. Yang smiled and nodded: "Quite interesting."

After that, Shen Ci's conditions were no longer a big deal, and they were all for the better of the project, so Lu Jinzhao and Hui Yang naturally agreed to them.

Finally, Shen Ci asked the others again, "Seniors, are you really not going to raise the price?"

The group looked at each other, and seeing that neither Boss Yang nor Brother Xizi spoke, they all shook their heads.

Shen Ci nodded with a helpless expression, then turned to Hui Yang: "President Hui, do you still want to consider this?"

“Ms. Shen, can’t we discuss this any further? How about I arrange for you to meet Wang Su when I have some free time? You can get to know him in person. He’s a really good actor, and he has a great personality in real life too.”

Shen Ci shook her head: "I don't have time to get to know someone I don't like. President Hui should know him better than I do. If the project goes wrong because of this person, can President Hui bear the consequences?"
