"I have no regrets," Director Tang Haiqiu declared slowly, his voice carrying a hint of defiance. "The lead role could only be played by Teacher Si; no one else could shoulder it. She is Sui Yan, and Sui Yan is her. No one else could portray her." He adjusted his glasses and added, "As for whether a new wave of xianxia dramas can arise, it depends on whether today's audience still harbors a fervent spirit."
He pushed his glasses up on his nose, "Oh, and one last thing, if Great Xia TV had accepted the schedule I requested, I would have regretted it."
This response was more direct than the entertainment reporter's provocative questions.
The entertainment reporter who asked didn't expect Tang Haiqiu to be so forthright and was momentarily left speechless, unsure of what to ask next.
The promotional event quickly concluded, and the crew returned to their hotel.
Director Tang had just settled down when Director Qin hurried over to him.
