Upon hearing Xia Chuyi's encouragement, the director said, "Chuyi, rest assured. Since you have so much faith in me, I absolutely cannot let you down!"
"Now that we have such a large investment, I will naturally make the movie even better!"
After some thought, the director continued, "Chuyi, since you've helped me so loyally, I can't treat you badly..."
"How about this, I'll negotiate with the producers to increase your share, so your risk of losing money becomes much smaller."
"That's not necessary..." Xia Chuyi immediately replied upon hearing the director say so.
But the director firmly shook his head and said, "No, I have to do this, otherwise I won't feel right in my conscience."
Xia Chuyi: ...
Not feel right?
But with the director doing so, knowing the box office, Xia Chuyi felt even more uneasy!
However, in the end, Xia Chuyi couldn't persuade the director otherwise.
Because Xia Chuyi knew the final box office and was aware she could recoup her investment.
