Luo You said lightly, "It's simple, in order to film Xiao Xiangyu's special effects, Director Liu used up all the investment he pulled in, investing millions more into the post-production.

Liu Director would have the upper hand if I later went to him to arrange strategies, so we can't just casually set conditions."
