Liu Lan looked at Duan Ming with an expressionless face, seeming not very interested. "What's your take?"
Duan Ming felt there were all too many reasons.
"First off, the investment in Yang Rongfa's project is too high, presenting a significant pressure to break even."
"Then there's the theme they've chosen – another hard-to-sell reality genre. Director Wang Ren tends to favor a slow pace, which might be appreciated by veteran moviegoers, but most audiences lack the patience for it."
"Besides, they don't have major platform investment backing them. Even after completion, the project will be difficult to sell, and even if sold, a short series of a dozen or so episodes won't fetch a high price."
A whole host of reasons.
Some were deliberately catered to Liu Lan, but the vast majority were his genuine thoughts.
