It must be because I obtained things too easily that I take nothing seriously.

Aside from her somewhat unsuccessful foray into the entertainment industry, everything else in her life has gone smoothly.

One can reap the benefits without lifting a finger, and have them at will.

This time, however, it seems they've really messed up.

"Ah! Karma!"

She felt this was retribution.

...

The next morning, Xie Ya called.

Ning Qiluo was about to go to the company when Xie Ya called and said, "The filming of the drama 'Honey Is a Short Paper, Love Is Long' will be postponed."

"Huh? Why?"

This was so sudden.

They were supposed to have a script reading session in the last couple of days, and filming was supposed to start in two more days, so why was filming suddenly postponed?

Xie Ya said seriously, "Officially, it's a cash flow problem. All the major investors have withdrawn their funds, and no new investment is coming in. They can't get all the major investors together for the time being. In short, someone must be trying to prevent this drama from starting filming..."

An obstacle in the road.

I don't know who I offended.

Ning Qiluo was also surprised to hear this.

However, she felt she could handle the situation: "I'll handle the funding; I can guarantee the machine will boot up normally."

This is certainly a good thing.

But Xie Ya said, "Qi Luo, I heard that it's no longer a matter of raising funds to start filming. As I just mentioned, on the surface it's a matter of cash flow, but in reality, the drama's filing for approval hasn't been completed."

"Huh? It won't even pass the filing? Isn't this a sweet urban romance drama? It doesn't involve any issues that cross the line." Ning Qiluo also knew that the review process was strict these days.

However, the content of the drama "Honey Is a Short Paper, Love Is Long" has nothing to do with those things from beginning to end.

Xie Ya smiled wryly: "I don't know about that. Director Lin is like an ant on a hot pan. I don't know if he offended someone. Anyway, this drama can't be filmed without the approval of the higher-ups."

"In that case, I won't be able to join the crew, and my schedule will be in jeopardy."

She took three months off to film this drama.

As a result, the filing review has failed.

When it will be approved or when filming will begin is still unknown.

“Don’t worry, I called you not only to let you know that ‘Paper Short, Love Long’ can’t start filming. Director Bai Haoyi’s new movie ‘Partners’ is on the agenda. The role of Fan Qiao has been confirmed for you. You will join the crew in half a month. The main filming locations are Hong Kong and Shanghai. The filming period is about two months.”

"What about Director Lin?" she asked.

"Don't worry about Director Lin. I estimate that the filing will most likely not be approved this year. The higher-ups haven't said anything. A lot of time and effort has been spent on preparation, and failing to get the filing approved this time is a huge blow. He'll probably be bleeding and need to heal. Your schedule can't be empty. If it weren't for 'Partners' getting ahead of schedule, I would have gotten you another drama to give you a buffer."

Xie Ya had arranged her schedule clearly, so Ning Qiluo didn't need to follow up or worry about it at all.

Looking back, Ning Qiluo thought that if she had met Xie Ya when she entered the entertainment industry, she would probably have become famous long ago.

Xie Ya also mentioned something else: "By the way, Qi Luo, the third season of 'Come to My Hometown', created by Dong Sheng TV, will start filming in December. Are you interested? If so, I'll try to get you a spot as a guest in the first episode of the third season?"

Come to my hometown?

Ning Qiluo knew about this variety show; it was created by Dongsheng TV.

The first season was a hit, but the second season didn't seem to be as popular, with low viewership.
