Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 207: Senior sister will perform in person?

These media have a very keen sense of news, and for a moment, their eyes almost lit up.

Xia Yuan didn't think it was a big deal. After all, if someone asked, he would just answer. Besides, even if he didn't tell others about his new film, it would spread quickly. So what was there to hide?

As for other people's opinions, and whether what he said now would cause any situation or something.

This is not something he would consider.

However, the reporter on the other side also wanted to confirm: "Excuse me, Director Xia, do you mean that your work is also based on the theme of Journey to the West?"

"Yes." Xia Yuan nodded.

"So, is your new work a movie or a TV series?" the reporter asked again.

"Movies." Xia Yuan's answer was brief.

At this moment, the whole audience was boiling again.

Including the hostility that Xia Yuan felt, which became even deeper.

You know, a widely circulated saying in the film industry now is that it is a pity that Xia Yuan left the film industry.

Many of Xia Yuan’s fans are waiting to watch Xia Yuan’s movies. These fans have no interest in Xia Yuan’s TV series and will not even watch them.

Just wait anxiously, hoping that Xia Yuan will be able to return to the film industry and make movies one day.

However, with Xia Yuan's achievements in the field of TV dramas in recent years, his achievements in just three works are already comparable to those in the field of movies. These fans have gradually come to understand that it seems that their hope that Xia Yuan would fail and finally come back to make movies in disgrace is not very promising.

Therefore, their demands are decreasing year by year.

But now, they got explosive news. Xia Yuan actually came back to make a movie? ? And
It was indeed the right decision to intercept Xia Yuan in advance! This was the right choice!
The media were excited and the questions continued.

"Then Xia Yuan, what do you think about Teacher Zhang Yinqu's new movie?" the reporter asked.

At this moment, Xia Yuan's eyes narrowed.

coming!

Start digging the hole!

Why doesn't he like the current media? Isn't it because the media always shows their inferior side?

Report truthfully? That's absolutely impossible. They will feel uncomfortable if they don't dig a hole for you.

If it was Xia Yuan who had just debuted, when he was young and ignorant and knew nothing, he might have been led into a trap by this simple tactic of fanning the flames.

But now he has been in the circle for so long. Although he doesn't mix in the circle and doesn't socialize, he is at least a veteran and not the kind of greenhorn who knows nothing.

So he also had more thoughts.

Xia Yuan shook his head and said, "I don't have any thoughts. Teacher Zhang Yinqu is a very outstanding senior. I personally respect him very much and hope that his works can sell well. But in fact, other people's works have nothing to do with me, and I will not express any opinions."

The reporter was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you declaring war on Teacher Zhang Yinqu and "Where is the Road?"

"."

Xia Yuan's brows twitched.

coming! here we go again!

Are you really that unwilling to give up?
When did he say he wanted to declare war on someone? Where did he say that?
Although he is not afraid of conflicts and disputes with anyone, he is also upright, so he will accept interviews and boldly talk about the company's arrangements and projects.

But it doesn't mean that he is an idiot who can't even detect that he is adding fuel to the fire.

Xia Yuan took a deep breath and said, "I'll say it again, I personally respect Teacher Zhang Yinqu very much, and 'A Chinese Odyssey' will not be released without making enemies with anyone. Art is art, and film and television are film and television, not a fight in an octagonal cage! We are releasing the film, and this is our own business. We will not declare war on anyone!"

Seeing that the other party was still unwilling to give up, Xia Yuan stopped him from asking questions: "Okay, I'll emphasize again, I don't have any ideas, don't ask me, ask others, that's it, others are waiting for you to interview, OK? Time is up, the company is busy, we have to go."

After saying that, he led his men out.

When passing by Zhang Yinqu, he smiled and nodded very friendly, showing his goodwill.

After all, whether considering from the perspective of seniority or from the perspective of social etiquette, he is an elder to me, and I liked him very much when I was a child.

Zhang Yinqu was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded to him.

Xia Yuan looked at that look, which was very clear and pure. It seemed that he did not expect Xia Yuan to take the initiative to show kindness to him, and he also exuded a wave of goodwill.

The hostility is gone.

So, after the new and old men exchanged glances, Xia Yuan took his people and left the venue.

However, soon, various news about the Magnolia Awards spread on the Internet.

Including representatives from major media outlets.

[Confidence from the new generation of directors, crushing Ling Xiao, senior? Also killed by the sword! ]

[Xia Yuan won the Magnolia Grand Slam, won the Best Director, and "Kuaichuang" won the Best TV Series of the Year. Xia Yuan retired and said he would return to the film industry! ]

[Xia Yuan's new film is about to start shooting, and it is based on "Journey to the West". It will compete with "Where is the Way?"]

[In front of the senior, he remained calm and confident while announcing his new film. Perhaps this is the arrogance of a leading director of a new force? ]

[The battle of Journey to the West, the battle between the old and the new! 】

Then a video clip was posted of Xia Yuan facing a reporter: "I don't have any ideas. Don't ask me. Ask someone else. OK?"

"That's it."

"Yes, it's based on Journey to the West."

"."

A series of very short clips sparked controversy as soon as they were posted online.

"Fuck, is Xia Yuan's tone so inconsistent? He seems so impatient. Why is he so impatient when he mentions his senior? Is he really getting cocky?"

"I have to say, he does have the ability to float."

"Xia Yuan is not strong enough to show off? But in my opinion, Xia Yuan is indeed not very rational this time, and he should maintain some respect for his predecessors. However, the quality of Xia Yuan's works is there, and I will still watch them."

"That's a bit biased. I personally don't like Xia Yuan's attitude. To be honest, when it comes to the Journey to the West, Teacher Zhang is truly a national memory, someone who can't be replaced by anyone. So I think Xia Yuan can't beat him, and he should be more humble this time."

"A declaration of war right now? Good boy, a war in the Journey to the West, huh?"

"The real or fake Monkey King? So it's going to be fun to watch. Who is the Monkey King and who is the Six-eared Macaque?"

"How can Xia Yuan win? I don't even dare to imagine how he can win!"

The news that Xia Yuan is returning to the film industry and that his new movie is also about Journey to the West and that he is declaring war on Zhang Yinqu's new movie has directly become a hot topic on various platforms and has been discussed. In addition, a large number of marketing accounts have appeared on short video platforms to spread the relevant news.

"Oh my god, my family, something big happened, today"

"As we all know, Journey to the West is a huge obstacle in the hearts of Chinese people."

"You don't know yet? Xia Yuan wants to fight with Zhang Yinqu..."

In an instant, the relevant news spread like wildfire.

Heye Films, "A Chinese Odyssey" project team, Xia Yuan and Tang Ying were almost exhausted.

Tang Ying frowned: "That's not what you meant! And you have clarified many things and said them very clearly, why do they still report it like this?"

Xia Yuan's expression was calm, and he said calmly, "Oh, just operate normally, stay calm."

As for the media, it would be abnormal if they didn't make some trouble.

To describe Xia Yuan, there is only one word: he studied journalism.

"To quote out of context, excerpt from "Don't quote out of context." Xia Yuan smiled: "Basic exercise, sit down."

Again, the value of journalism is still rising.

For an industry that can package a technical secondary school student as a genius and fool the entire nation, what kind of ethics can they have?
As for breaking Xia Yuan's defense, that was even more impossible.

Not to mention that he has a lot of armor stacked up. Just in the past few years, although he has not been in the circle and has no contact with the media, have you ever seen his pace slow down?

You should get used to it already.

So for him, there is nothing to worry about.

"We just need to make our own movie well, and isn't it better now? If no one is optimistic about us, then it will be perfect for our business of losing money, wife!" Xia Yuan persuaded with a smile.

"Okay." Tang Ying nodded somewhat unhappily.

Although it is true that this is true, what you want is to lose money, and unfavorable public opinion is actually a good thing.

But why is she so unhappy?

Damn it, you dare to mess with Xia Yuan?

Tang Ying narrowed her eyes and secretly memorized the names of those media outlets.

Next, regardless of the turmoil, Xia Yuan did not make any response and continued to busy himself with his own affairs.

Nonsense, what's there to respond to? The most important thing now is the new movie.

So, in the following days, he let the pace ferment and continued to prepare for the movie.

Soon, the casting stage began.

Regarding the casting of "A Chinese Odyssey", it's actually not that difficult.

As for the male lead, Zhizunbao, there is definitely no explanation, and he has no intention of letting anyone else play the role.

Because this role is actually very important and special, and requires control over many things.

He doesn't trust ordinary actors, and they probably won't be able to perform well.

Only someone like him who can watch the original film of the other world can understand this character best.

So he knew very well that whether he played the role well or not was the most crucial issue.

As he is one of the few experimentalists in China, he naturally took the initiative to do it himself.

After deciding that he would play the leading role, Zhizunbao, he found Chu Zhongtian.

Anyone can be absent, but the big egg cannot be absent.

And giving the role of Egg Big a simple task is also very simple.

Tang Monk! Tang Sanzang!

He and Chu Zhongtian said: "Dan Da, what a good role! Really a good role! Not perverted, not disemboweled, not selling out teammates, handsome! Handsome guy! Suitable for you! It has to be you!"

"I don't believe you!" Chu Zhongtian roared.

"In a word, do you want to act or not?" Xia Yuan asked calmly, "The pay is 2000 million."

"The main thing is that I still like to film with you. Who are we?" Chu Zhongtian's expression melted away: "You're too polite. Act!"

As for Bai Jingjing, one of the female protagonists, the candidate was an old classmate.

Luo Qingning, one of the five members of the society, once played the role of Exploding Candy in "Penny Dreadful".

They haven't worked together for a long time, so if Xia Yuan went to talk in person, Luo Qingning naturally wouldn't say anything.

Now Luo Qingning is doing well. Although she is definitely not as good as Chu Zhongtian, who had his stomach ripped open and his intestines spilled all the way to the first-tier, she is actually not bad. Luo Qingning is now at the level of a strong second-tier player.

Then the other leading actors were confirmed one after another.

There is only one last role left, and no one has been chosen yet.

That is one of the heroines, Fairy Zixia!

Xia Yuan was in trouble.

What about Fairy Zixia? Who should play the role?

This is a very serious problem because this character is also very special. Although she is the heroine, she actually does not appear for a long time in "Moonlight Treasure Box".

Even just a few shots!

Her main role is in "The Monkey King: Marry Me".

So you can't pay a high price to hire a leading actor, just let him shoot a few scenes and then leave, right? That's not right.

But it must be said that every time this happens, Chu Zhongtian will become restless.

He just stood up: "Xia Yuan, I have a plan! I have a Fu*king plan!"

Here he comes, the king of smart ideas is here!
Xia Yuan: "Shut your stinky mouth and sit down!"

However, Chu Zhongtian was still very stubborn and said, "I think we can let the senior sister try it herself! She is also a professional student! And she has also taken acting as an elective, so why can't the senior sister herself play it?"
