After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1173 - 1172: Investment

"What?" Xia Chuyi asked the director in utter shock, "Are you saying soone wants to change the actor?"

"Changing the actor" was the most unexpected thing among all surprises for Xia Chuyi.

Because if she rembered correctly, the actors in the crew now were the final cast she knew for the film.

"Director, you might be overthinking, they definitely won’t change..." Xia Chuyi couldn’t help but say.

However, before Xia Chuyi could finish her sentence, the director sighed and said, "You don’t understand, the market is open now, and our studio has started accepting external investnts."

"Just a couple of days ago, so Hong Kong businessn brought a huge sum wanting to invest in our movie."

"But they made one request—change the female actor."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi was utterly puzzled.

Xia Chuyi rembered the female actor for this film; once the movie was released, she quickly beca very popular.

However, it seed this actress wasn’t interested in acting; she retired shortly after filming this movie.

Because of this, many people felt regretful.

Xia Chuyi couldn’t understand why soone would propose changing the female actor?

Because this actress complented the role in the movie perfectly.

Often, whether a movie becos a true classic is determined by various factors.

The director, script, actors... even a small fleeting crew mber are conditions for constituting classic elents.

So, without this actress, the movie might forever have a flaw.

Just as Xia Chuyi was thinking this way, the director sighed again and said, "I am firmly against this."

"But." The director shook his head, saying, "The higher-ups told that unless I can bring in such an investnt myself to make up for the shortage, I won’t be allowed to keep the actor."

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi was silent for a mont, then said, "Director, what do you think... how much funding do you need? I’ll invest."

Upon hearing Xia Chuyi say this, the director was imdiately stunned.

After a while, the director ca to his senses and looked at Xia Chuyi in disbelief, asking, "You want to invest? I asked you to do product placent before, but you refused."

Xia Chuyi shook her head and smiled, "I’m not talking about product placent, nor am I planning to place it in your movie."

"I an..." After a slight pause, Xia Chuyi continued, "What I an is, I will invest in your movie with no conditions, and then you can share the box office revenue with after the film’s release."

According to what Xia Chuyi determined, the director was almost ecstatic, grabbing her hand excitedly, saying, "Thank you, thank you, Chuyi! Very, very grateful to you!"

However, after the excitent, the director suddenly said, "It’s just, with such a big investnt, if the box office isn’t high, Chuyi, you might not break even..."

At this point, the director particularly resented the people who suddenly ca to invest.

Actually, their movie didn’t need such a large sum unexpectedly.

After all, their scenes hardly had any overly extravagant settings.

Upon hearing what the director said, Xia Chuyi smiled and said, "Why? Director, have you lost confidence in your movie?"

"I have a lot of confidence in you." Xia Chuyi told the director, "So just focus on making your movie, whether there’s a loss or not, I have a sense in my mind."
