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

Chapter 29 Post-screening summary
The impermanence of life is just like a bolt from the blue.

How did you do that?

Wasn’t the box office only a little over 700,000 when it premiered? ?

No, they don’t have any publicity, and there are so many movie kings around them, and there are so many restrictions.

After the film came out, she studied it over and over again.

It cannot be said to be vulgar, it can only be said that you have to hold your tongue while watching it. If this kind of film was released twenty years ago, it would have been labeled as "vulgar", would not be recognized by the industry, and would not deserve to be called art at all.

This is so explosive? ?
Life is full of ups and downs. She only invested 1000 million in this film. Even if she loses money, the rebate she earns is only 2000 million.

Now, the box office is over 30 million! After deducting the 10 million cost, it has made a profit of 20 million! It has completely bid farewell to the loss-making state!
Tang Ying was numb for a long time before she came to her senses. Then, looking at the large group of people in the company who were looking at her happily, she suddenly realized that some facts had already happened.

As a boss, even if she was devastated, she naturally could not show any signs in front of her subordinates. She had to have the aura of remaining calm in the face of a crisis, even if she was panicking.

"We can have all this thanks to the chairman's wise decision! And Director Xia's unparalleled talent!"

Assistant Yang Xiao presided over the overall situation and said: "Since the topic selection began, the chairman has been doing everything himself, working hard and making all the seemingly risky but actually interconnected decisions!
Whether it is the initial selection of materials or the selection of themes, it seems risky, but in fact both themes have been verified by the market and have once radiated a different vitality in the market. What is the decision to delegate power? This is trust in Director Xia! This is trust in professionalism! As the saying goes, if you doubt someone, don't employ him. Professional matters should be left to professionals. The more people intervene and the more opinions there are, the more it will interfere with the output of the work and the final quality!

This is a good proof!"

"Ah?" Tang Ying slowly typed a question mark.

Do I understand this? Am I so wise?

How come I don’t know this myself?
She pretended to be profound and nodded expressionlessly, looking at the assistant who continued to speak with high spirits with stars in his eyes.

Assistant: "Secondly, it is the decision not to publicize it. The chairman once said that in the arts and sports industry, overall, the quality of the industry must be strong. In today's era, everyone has been abused by the market thousands of times and has become very smart. If the work is not good, no matter how much it is promoted, in the end, if the fans and audiences find that it is not what they advertised, they will only be backfired! In life, work, and business, no matter what you do, you must be honest, and the same is true for our film industry.

It is just like the saying goes: The film is good, but it can be broken!
The best example is "Tai Xuan", which was the best movie of this year, with an investment of 16 billion yuan, directed by an international director, and starred by many superstars. It was popular before it was released, and the publicity was overwhelming. But what was the final result? When it was first released, it was criticized."

Next, Tang Ying listened and sighed in her heart, thinking how good it would have been if she had chosen Zhang Zelin at that time. Wouldn't it have been a huge loss? Now it's good. The profit is 3000 million a day. After a month and a half, she doesn't know how much profit she will make. Although she still has to share the profits, the current increase is destined to explode.

Everything the assistant said next can be summed up in one sentence: "Tai Xuan" is ruined, and they are done.

To put it simply, all the configurations of "Tai Xuan" are too luxurious, including the online novel from which the story is derived, which is also the tangible youth memory of a generation.

As one of the most popular online novels in the early years, I don’t know how many young boys and girls had read "Tai Xuan" all night long in bed with their mobile phones at the lowest screen brightness, and couldn’t stop.

But this has led to higher overall expectations.

Fans’ expectations were too high, and a huge amount of money was spent on publicity and promotion.

I believe that if a different crew or different elements were used, fans' expectations would not have been so high at the beginning, and the show would not have been criticized so badly now.

And on top of that, I heard the situation on the crew there is also very complicated.

It's not like this with them. They choose to delegate everything and let Xia Yuan handle it alone.

Instead, a lot of people were inserted, and even the script was changed in the end.

When you delegate power, it is true that it is easy for the director to let go of himself, and there will be no constraints from Party A, which means there is no pressure, and it is easy to make a bad movie.

But there are certain risks, that is, professionals are responsible for professional matters and are the kind who focus on their work. This kind of thing is very scary. If you are not careful, the professional will concentrate on research and end up producing something really cool.

The assistant also said at this moment: "Of course, the most important thing is the dedication of Director Xia."

Everyone present looked at Xia Yuan in the crowd.

Xia Yuan felt a little embarrassed when he saw this, and he stood up silently and saluted. "If we talk about the number one contributor, Director Xia is definitely worthy of the title, and no one can replace him." The assistant said with his head held high, "First of all, whether it is the appointment of actors or doing everything himself, Director Xia has always been looking for the best solution, writing the script himself, and even playing the role himself, and he can also perfectly get the chairman's meaning.

In fact, the success of Pulp Fiction was not created by the efforts of any one person, but by the complementary efforts of the chairman and director Xia.

Tang Ying also looked at Xia Yuan.

Suddenly, she felt how foolish her choice was.

You deserve to die!! Xia Yuan!!
Is he really a genius? Even in such a devastating situation, he could turn things around?

Why did she choose him then?

On the contrary, Zhang Zelin, who was hesitant and afraid of this and that at the beginning, chose to give up and chose Xia Yuan instead.

Now, look what happened. Zhang Zelin failed, and the 16 billion-dollar investment from the first-line players made Feilong crash into the face with an elbow.

When Lao Da came, he had to kneel down and beg Zhang Zelin to teach him how to elbow.

If I had chosen Zhang Zelin at that time, would there have been a lot of troubles?

But on second thought, that can't be said.

After all, the sudden success of "Tai Xuan" was actually beyond everyone's expectations, and was caused by a combination of many factors.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Zelin, the chief director, did not do anything wrong and he is the one who was most wronged.

If he changes the film or the place, he will still be Zhang Zelin, still the top director who is deified.

Even though she was already very crazy in her heart, she still forced a smile and said to Xia Yuan: "You have worked hard."

Well, yes, in fact, Xia Yuan also worked very hard. If you look closely, all this was hard-earned by Xia Yuan.

No one knows about your own system except you.

As a director, who wouldn’t want to see good work?
Who would want their work to be stuck in the mud?

This does not exist.

So is Xia Yuan wrong?

Xia Yuan was right.

Tang Ying was not an unreasonable person, and she would never blame an innocent person for the failure of her system. What responsibility did Xia Yuan have? How innocent was he? On the contrary, the film he shot became a big hit.

I can only say that everything is a matter of fate.

This time, let's just leave it at that. Anyway, the profit is a fact now, so let's celebrate!

As for red envelopes and the like, Tang Ying naturally couldn't take them back.

This is something I once promised. As a person, you must be honest and upright, and you must fulfill the promises you make.

Next, Tang Ying had no choice but to start celebrating with the company's employees.

We can only wait for the next part, learn from our mistakes and fight again!
Time passed quickly, and it was a month later.

(Please give me a monthly ticket and read on!! Oli!)
