Chapter 170: Matters Solvable with Money Are Not Problems
Li Jing was a bit surprised, not expecting the two to treat this low-budget movie as next year’s dark horse, hoping to break through among many films.
However, he thought it over and realized it wasn’t impossible.
The success of a film isn’t directly related to its budget; some commercial films claim investments of billions but ultimately fail to attract audiences.
After all, what audiences want to see is the story itself, not star power or fancy effects, which can only embellish rather than save a film.
Moreover, Wen Lan and Wei Jia are both professionals, and with their confidence, Li Jing also had more expectations for the film’s future.
Furthermore, the system’s task goal is for his character to leave a deep impression on the audience.
If the film flopped, not only would it fail to leave a deep impression, but hardly any audience would watch it, and his billion-dollar bonus would likely go down the drain.
With the system’s incentive, Li Jing now has even stronger expectations for the film’s success than Wei Jia and Wen Lan.
Thinking this, Li Jing looked again at Wen Lan and Wei Jia, and finally expressed his stance: "Since Director Wen said Dai Weiwei’s acting as the second female lead has such a significant impact on the film’s quality, to increase the chances of this film’s success, I choose to replace her."
"Wise choice, President Li!"
As soon as he spoke, Wen Lan’s eyes lit up, not expecting Li Jing’s final choice to be the same as hers.
At that moment, Li Jing’s status and likability instantly increased in her mind.
