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

Chapter 50 I don't want to lose this time
October is very close to the Lunar New Year holiday in February, with only a few months left.

Just like the summer vacation season, the Lunar New Year season is also a battleground for the film and television industry. After all, it’s a holiday and everyone needs a break.

Moreover, the traffic during the Lunar New Year period is greater than that during the summer period, because the main source of traffic during the summer period is just students.

But the Lunar New Year period is different. Not everyone takes a summer vacation, but everyone celebrates the New Year in summer.

This is also the national 'slave transport line'. Oh, no, that's not right. It's also the 'Mala transport line'. No, that's not the case. In short, it is the busiest time of the year for all major trunk railway systems.

Whether rich or poor, going home for the New Year is something that is engraved in the DNA of the Hanxia people.

People who have been busy for a year finally have a chance to relax. At this time, they will choose to spend time with their family or children to do things they have long wanted to do and relax.

For example, many people choose to go to the movies during the Chinese New Year.

Therefore, the competition in the Lunar New Year box office will be even stronger in the future.

"There are quite a few movies coming out during the Lunar New Year holiday this year."

"And it's very strong. There are six films with investments of over 100 million yuan, and there are as many as three Hundred Flowers Award winners, and there is also a film king with a budget of over 1 billion yuan."

"Is it the movie about the Republic of China that was released in July?"

"Yes, it tells the story of the Republic of China War period."

"War movies during the Republic of China period were supposed to be low-budget movies. Now with so much investment, they are sure to be good. I am looking forward to it."

"I suddenly remembered something. Xia Yuan's new movie seems to have been released during the Lunar New Year holiday. Is no one paying attention to it?"

"Xia Yuan? He's so cold to the bone, who would remember him?"

"No dog would watch a movie starring a rapist!"

"From the moment he used Huo Chunliang and refused to apologize, he was already worthless."

"I can only say that young people take themselves too seriously and have to do some stupid things. They have never thought about the fact that in this era, no one is irreplaceable. Especially in the entertainment industry, if you are a new director who has just come out of retirement, people will really have no movies to watch without you."

"That 'Master', right? I definitely won't watch it, even if Zeng Dan is there."

"Hasn't Xia Yuan already stated that the story is fake? Don't you really have any doubts?"

"What are you doubting? It's been so long since the incident happened. Let's not talk about it for now. There were so many reports back then, so many people in the industry expressed their opinions, and the victim's family members spoke out. Do you think it can't be fake? I can even find an interview video of the victim's brother back then."

"I believe the victim, I don't believe Huo Chunliang. If he says it's fake, then it's fake?"

Many netizens have already started discussing the major films that will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday.

But it is obvious that among the many highly anticipated movies, what is missing is "Master" and Xia Yuan's name.

Even if it appears occasionally, it is because of scolding.

No one will pay attention to this movie.

Even on Doujia.com, there is an expectation score in the preview interface of the upcoming Lunar New Year movies, and "Master" has been given an expectation score of 2.4.

It looked like Xia Yuan’s new movie was going to flop.

In this situation, time passed day by day.

In Beijing, Old Man Ai looked at the public opinion on the Internet and the trend of the Lunar New Year box office, and he smiled.

My goal has been achieved.

In this case, the operations he adopted were completely normal competition operations, and the other party could not find any reason to hold him accountable even if they wanted to find reasons to hold him accountable.

After all, it was your daughter who wanted to use actors with bad records, and now it is netizens who are scolding her. What does it have to do with Ai Qixing?
If the box office fails after the movie is released, it won’t be his fault.

I can't stop netizens from talking.

The reason why he did this was just to make his thoughts clear.

Everyone in the industry knew what he said back then. If Huo Chunliang just gave it up like that, wouldn't it seem that what he said was useless?

What do people in the industry think about this?
So even for the sake of his own face, Huo Chunliang cannot make a comeback.

What he said back then was also very unreasonable. What did he mean by "the braids were cut off and could not be reattached"? What did he mean by "it was inconsistent with historical facts"?
This is pure bullshit. How much did our ancestors contribute to this country? It was a huge contribution! How dare you, a martial arts filmmaker, deny it?

"Everyone in the world misses me, Daqing, but the world also has a deep misunderstanding of me, Daqing." He sighed.

Fortunately, in recent years, Qingting's reputation has been warmed up among the people, especially in the minds of young women. This is closely related to his previous plan, which is to eliminate the public's misunderstanding of Daqing through film and television works and change their concepts.

His ancestors had given so much to this country, and he couldn't just watch them being stabbed in the back.

But it’s okay now. It seems that his plan was very successful, and it is difficult for Huo Chunliang to turn things around now.

"To use the words of young people, this is not a big deal? A dragon is riding on your face, how can you lose? Haha." Old man Ai was wearing a melon-shaped hat and laughing happily.

The set of "Master" has been moved to another set. After all, the way of making a movie is to shoot one scene and then move on to another.

Now here is a different scene.

The last scene officially ends.

"Crack!"

Xia Yuan shouted the last "cut" of the film, which also completely announced the completion of the film "Master".

If it had been in the past, everyone on the set would have cheered and celebrated the completion of the film.

But this time it was different, no one was in the mood to cheer or celebrate.

Because everyone knows what the situation of their films is like on the Internet during this period.

But they are also helpless. In this situation, you are like an ant covered in mud under a magnifying glass, being criticized by thousands of people. Everything you do is wrong because you are dirty in the eyes of others, and you are insignificant and the mainstream cannot hear your voice.

Moreover, the filming schedule is busy and they have no time to be distracted, so they can only devote all their energy to work.

Until now, the entire Internet is not optimistic about their work. How can they be happy?

Xia Yuan also saw this situation, but to be honest, he didn't have any better solution.

He had been busy with filming before and could only focus on filming. Now, public opinion has become like this. He can only say that he will find a way to clarify what happened that year and then do his best in publicity and promotion.

As for where the bullet will fly next, or whether it will hit the fatal point of the incident that year, he couldn't guarantee it.

He could only say: "Boss, you have to be prepared this time. The situation is too unfavorable for us. It is possible that we will lose money, and it will be a huge loss."

This is how he gave Tang Ying a shot of prevention.

There's no way. The total cost of this film, all in all, has exceeded 70 million.

Next comes the post-production and promotion.

It will definitely break 100 million in a few minutes.

Under normal circumstances, you might be able to get some of your money back.

But the current situation is that no one is optimistic about them and they cannot benefit from their past reputation.

Moreover, this film did not perform well in the previous world and was also a loss-making work.

With so many factors at play, he really couldn't figure out where to make a profit.

However, Tang Ying was shocked: "You said I would lose money?"

If this had happened in the past, she would definitely have expected to lose money.

After all, you can only make money if you lose money.

"That won't work!" Tang Yingchao shouted.

Now, just this one part, she doesn't want to.

Because they were screwed.

This made her very unhappy.

If she suffers a loss, that is her own business.

But you can't mess with me.

And more importantly, she recently opened the door to a new world and discovered some blind spots.
