After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Xie Xu still lowered his head. After hearing what Li Jiawei said, he felt very sad, but he was not a person who was good at expressing himself verbally. He just said hesitantly: "Boss Li, I understand that it was my fault for not thinking things through and causing things to turn out like this, putting the company in this situation."

Seeing Xie Xu's dejected and frustrated look, Li Jiawei felt bad. After thinking for a while, she said, "Actually, it's not that the filming of "Jian Ge" can't continue. It's just that if we continue to move forward, the scale of investment may not be as large as before."

When Xie Xu heard this, he was immediately pleasantly surprised. He quickly raised his head, looked at Li Jiawei expectantly, and asked anxiously, "Boss Li, can we really continue filming?"

Li Jiawei nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Everything such as filing and filming team has been prepared. The initial investment has reached tens of millions. If we give up filming now, the company's losses will be even greater. However, because of the script leak, the project level of "Jian Ge" will definitely be downgraded, and the amount will be greatly reduced."

Xie Xu hurriedly stepped forward and said expectantly, "Mr. Li, I have revised the story outline of "Jian Ge" and written the content of the first three acts. How about you review it first?" After that, he hurriedly handed the manuscript tightly held in both hands to Li Jiawei, his eyes full of nervousness and anticipation.

Li Jiawei took the manuscript with a bit of doubt, looked up at Xie Xu, and asked uncertainly: "You have revised the outline in such a short time?"

Xie Xu straightened his back and said, "Mr. Li, actually when I was writing "Jian Ge", I had conceived several versions, and this version has always been my favorite. It's just that when I made the final decision, I considered it again and again and chose the outline you saw earlier."

After hearing what Xie Xu said, Li Jiawei's eyes fell back on the script in her hand. As she read it, she asked casually, "Then why didn't you adopt the outline that you liked the most?"

Hearing this question, Xie Xu's eyes dimmed for a moment. He was silent for a while, then slowly said, "Because the ending of this version... is too dark."

After Xie Xu finished speaking, Li Jiawei paused slightly in flipping through the outline. She raised her head and her gaze lingered on Xie Xu's face for a moment. There seemed to be a hint of inquiry and thought in her eyes.

However, she didn't ask any more questions and just lowered her head to continue reading the notebook in her hand.

For a moment, the office was shrouded in silence, with only the occasional sound of turning pages of the script, like a soft hum in the silence, clearly audible.

Half an hour passed and Li Jiawei had only read half of the script, but just this half of the plot was like a fire that ignited the joy in her heart.

Compared with the previous script, although the plot of this new outline is 70% similar, it is more charming in terms of emotional rendering and plot ups and downs.

It is more exciting, and makes people's heartbeats accelerate as the plot progresses, but behind this excitement lies an unspeakable sense of tragedy.

The so-called immortal cultivation and ascension is nothing but a conspiracy carefully planned by the immortal world to slaughter and harvest the cultivation world. Although in the development of the story, the cultivation world tried its best to successfully counterattack the immortal world, the protagonist group paid a painful price of almost being annihilated.

But as the story draws to a close, one is surprised to find that everything seems to have fallen into an endless cycle, just like the mysterious Möbius strip, with no real beginning and no end.

Li Jiawei gently placed the script on the table. Her eyes were bright and lively. She stared at Xie Xu closely, praising him generously: "Teacher Xie, your talent really amazes me! I like this script from the bottom of my heart. It is more exciting and fascinating than the previous ones."

Hearing Li Jiawei's sincere praise, Xie Xu's tense nerves finally relaxed. He took a deep breath and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Initially, he wanted to show the youth's high-spirited, heroic and passionate spirit on the screen, but he didn't expect that the plot would be leaked just as the filming was about to begin. What was finally presented to the audience was a cruel killing of dreams. Perhaps only he could truly understand the helplessness in this.

Li Jiawei frowned slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of eagerness and expectation, and asked, "Teacher Xie, if we want to create this script in its entirety, can you give us a rough estimate of how long it will take?"

Xie Xu said: "Boss Li, it will take at least half a year."

When Li Jiawei heard the time limit given by Xie Xu, a trace of regret that was hard to conceal instantly appeared on her face.

The project of "Jian Ge" has already started, and now the entire crew of hundreds of people are in a state of suspension. Time and money are being consumed like water, and it is impossible to give Xie Xu half a year to write the script.

Li Jiawei sighed softly, her sigh full of reluctance and helplessness. Since she took over Universal Pictures, "Jian Ge" was the first project she decided to shoot. This project was of great significance to her, but the project was about to die before it could really blossom.

She invested so much time and money, and she personally took care of every step from project planning and filing to the formation of the filming team.

Now, no matter how reluctant she was, she had to swallow this loss.

Xie Xu quietly looked at Li Jiawei's troubled expression. After hesitating for a moment, he mustered up the courage to speak out his thoughts: "Mr. Li, I have an immature suggestion. Do you think we can try to write and shoot at the same time? This may solve the problem of time constraints to a certain extent."

When Li Jiawei heard what Xie Xu said, she was obviously stunned for a moment. She looked straight at Xie Xu, only to see that Xie Xu was looking at her cautiously, with a hint of expectation and a bit of uneasiness in his eyes, as if he was waiting for her decision.

At this moment, Li Jiawei was moved by the suggestions made by Xie Xu.

If the writing-while-shooting model can be successfully implemented, it is indeed possible to get this deadlocked project back on track. However, she is also very clear in her mind that this model requires extremely high levels of collaboration and cooperation between the screenwriter, actors, and director.

If there is a lack of coordination or communication between the two parties, it is very likely that the entire shooting progress will be seriously affected, and even the quality of the work will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Li Jiawei was a little hesitant for a while and found it difficult to make a decision immediately.
